Chapter 2196 - 2181: Niu Cheng’s Fear

Chapter 2196: Chapter 2181: Niu Cheng’s Fear

Surrounded by six elite mixed battalions of the Demon Clan, equivalent to an army of three hundred thousand, Ye Zhen remained unfazed.

Instead, his gaze fell upon the Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearls held by Niu Cheng and his party. "I want to know, how did His Highness, the Fifth Crown Prince, come by this set of Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearls?"

Niu Cheng was once again stunned.

He felt that in the face of these six mixed elite battalions, Ye Zhen should be worrying about his life and safety.

After all, these six mixed elite battalions were the true elite that His Highness, the Fifth Crown Prince, had privately accumulated over the years. Normally, they would never be deployed to the Human-Demon Battlefield.

They were prepared for potential disputes over the throne of the Demon Emperor.

Incredibly powerful!

Therefore, Ye Zhen should be worried and fearful.

He shouldn’t be questioning the origin of the Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearls.

Yet, isn’t that the way of the strong?

Respected strong figures are revered because they are different from ordinary people, aren’t they?

"Marshal Ye, I think you should be considering your safety now! Think about your future, rather than the origin of these Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearls right in front of you!"

Next, Niu Cheng revealed an ugly grin, "Of course, if you’re really curious about the origin of the Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearls, you could choose to pledge allegiance to our Fifth Crown Prince.

To be honest, I don’t know where these Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearls came from, but our Crown Prince certainly does!

After your allegiance, given the generosity of our Fifth Crown Prince, he would certainly tell you!"

"But I don’t just want to know its origin, I want this Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearl itself. Does your Crown Prince dare to give it?" Ye Zhen sneered coldly.

"Well...."

Niu Cheng was somewhat reluctant, "I can’t make that call, but if you really feel that way, I can ask our Crown Prince on your behalf! For a talented commander like you, our Crown Prince might agree!"

This answer left Ye Zhen somewhat surprised, not expecting that the Fifth Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor valued him so highly.

This was a kind of paradoxical pride.

To be valued so highly by the enemy, does this not represent one’s own strength?

"No need!"

Ye Zhen directly rejected Niu Cheng’s proposal.

Niu Cheng was quite eager to recruit Ye Zhen, surprised, "Why?"

"I suggest you wait, our Crown Prince might agree to your request!"

"No need!"

Ye Zhen rejected again, even if the Fifth Crown Prince Poyue agreed to give it away, Ye Zhen could never surrender.

Besides, only when Ye Zhen personally retrieves it through the baptism of blood and fire, can he wash away the disgrace it endured!

That’s because this Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearl is one of the significant treasures of Ye Zhen’s Mystical Mechanism Daoist School.

The Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearls were bestowed by Master Lud Li to the disciples to guard the Mountain Gate.

Back when the Mystical Mechanism Daoist School was breached, this treasure’s whereabouts became unknown.

However, Ye Zhen never expected that the precious treasure meant to protect the Mountain Gate of the Mystical Mechanism Daoist School ended up in the hands of the Fifth Crown Prince of the Demon Clan Demon Emperor.

So, Ye Zhen wants to know how the Fifth Crown Prince Poyue acquired this Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearl.

Vaguely, Ye Zhen seemed to think of some terrifying connections!

However, these conjectures needed to be verified by Ye Zhen one by one!

"As for the origin of this Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearl, I will ask the Fifth Crown Prince Poyue myself in the future!

As for the Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearl itself, His Highness doesn’t need to gift it, as I will take it myself!"

From Ye Zhen’s words, Niu Cheng the Bull Demon felt Ye Zhen’s determination, his face suddenly sober, "Marshal Ye, you are a respected figure by strength.

Your confidence is strong, but I still have to tell you, it’s impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Moreover, can I consider this as you rejecting our Crown Prince’s gesture of submission?"

"If that’s the case, then..."

As he spoke, Niu Cheng waved his hand, instantaneously, the six elite mixed battalions, along with twelve Dao Realm auras, erupted, with Killing Qi and Evil Qi soaring, shattering the clouds in the sky.

Countless Killing Qi locked onto Ye Zhen instantly at this moment.

"Marshal Ye Zhen, now, is your last chance, if you don’t surrender, then we can only send your head and Primordial Spirit to the Demon God Hall.

You know, within the Demon God Hall, your Primordial Spirit may suffer unimaginable disaster!" Niu Cheng the Bull Demon had a solemn look!

"Thanks for your reminder!"

"Actually, I should thank your Fifth Crown Prince, otherwise I wouldn’t see the Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearl today, nor have the chance to take it!"

"Stop talking nonsense, this guy is just dreaming!" The nearby Eight-winged Demon impatiently urged.

But just as his voice arose suddenly, an overwhelming aura surged like a tide from Ye Zhen’s body.

The first to emerge was ten extremely pure Dao Realm auras.

Led by Zhang Yide and Qinglian, ten Dao Realm figures with a thousand elite from the Yidongqing Guardian Army Divine Guard Team emerged from the Mirage Dragon Pearl Space.

Niu Cheng was dumbfounded, then laughed, "Indeed, our Crown Prince suspected you might have a Little World capable of holding life within your body, hiding your strength, and it turns out you do.

But, this strength alone isn’t enough..."

Before the words were out, Niu Cheng’s mouth suddenly opened wide, including the previously impatient Eight-winged Demon and other Demon Lords, each of their expressions became incredibly shocked.

Mouths agape, eyes bulging like copper bells, expressions became extremely incredulous, as if they witnessed something absurd.

Indeed, what lay before them was utterly absurd to these Demon Clan Dao Realm figures!

Demon Clan!

A massive elite Demon Clan force, a breed not quite Bone Demon yet carrying powerful Soul Demon aura surged out from Ye Zhen’s body.

Especially those leading blood-colored skeletons, resembling Bone Demons but with a more bizarre aura, clearly possessing Ninth Stage of Realm King Realm cultivation, yet emitting Dao Realm aura, extremely peculiar!

Thirty thousand strong Blood Skull Legion formed with Blood Skull bodies as backbone flowed out, instantaneously forming a battle formation full of Killing Qi before and behind Ye Zhen.

Black Seven, Black Two, and Black Nine emerged, crafted from the frame of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits and other Demon Clan Dao Realm frames, dropped to one knee before Ye Zhen.

"Blood Skull Legion gathered, awaiting orders from the Grand Marshal!"

"Destroy all enemies within sight, spare the surrendered!" Ye Zhen commanded in a chilling voice.

"By the order of the Grand Marshal, annihilate all enemies within sight, spare those who surrender!"

"By the order of the Grand Marshal, annihilate all enemies within sight, spare those who surrender!"

"By the order of the Grand Marshal, annihilate all enemies within sight, spare those who surrender!"

The three identical, merciless shouts echoed from Black Two, Black Seven, and Black Nine, and instantly, the formidable Blood Skull figures roared in unison.

A chill surged from Niu Cheng’s feet straight to his head.

He and his Seventh Prince had been cautious enough but had underestimated Ye Zhen.

Dammit!

Great Demon God above!

How could this Ye Zhen, a member of the Human Clan, command and possess thirty thousand Demon Clan elites?

Elites entirely of Realm King Realm cultivation!

Even the Fifth Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor wouldn’t easily deploy such forces!

But how did this person of the Human Clan do it?

His only comfort was that his elite mixed battalion of a thousand was supposedly stronger than these uniform Demon Soul elites!

But in the next moment, when a blood-colored war banner waved in the void, Niu Cheng the Bull Demon couldn’t suppress his trembling!
