Chapter 1078: The Descent of the Demon God, A Global Sensation
Now, only the last year remains until the hundred-year transformation into a mortal.
Ye Feng still possesses the appearance of his youth.
But, due to the effects of the Power of Reality, even if the child next door who wanted to buy a wife from him has aged into an old man, he sees nothing wrong with Ye Feng's appearance.
"The final year."
Ye Feng gently stroked the carving knife that had followed him for nearly a century, its edge still as sharp as ever.
Years ago, he mastered the second volume of "Hand of Myriad Transformations" to its peak, possessing a Power of Reality so strong that it could obliterate the world.
But Ye Feng still lived in seclusion.
"Master Ye, the Wild Boar has sent a letter saying that it too is stuck at the Pinnacle of the Fourth Realm and doesn't know how to break through."
Big Yellow held a letter in his mouth.
"There's no breaking through."
Ye Feng shook his head, "You are all restrained by the world's laws in your cultivation level, no one can break through to the Fifth Realm. However, the special osmanthus cake I've been researching is nearly a success. Eating it should allow you all to break through."
"Really?" The Big Yellow Dog became excited, anticipating the osmanthus cake mentioned by Ye Feng.
Knock, knock, knock!
The sound of knocking arose.
Su Ling came again, and she was alone.
Decades had passed, and Su Ling was still young, but her eyes showed a more mature charm. Each smile and frown could make one's throat dry.
"Senior Ye, I've been stuck in the Fifth Realm, and the other strong cultivators in the cultivation world are all stuck as well. Are you too?"
As soon as she entered, Su Ling went straight to the point.
"I have no cultivation level." Ye Feng gave the same answer as he did decades ago.
Su Ling: "..."
She sat on the stone stool, watching Ye Feng lying on the rattan chair, bit her red lips and said, "I've recently cultivated the Great Extensive Technique and I always feel like there's impending danger."
Hearing this, Ye Feng glanced at Su Ling.
He also sensed this point.
This world was to witness a great change!
"The Demon Gods are descending, and the living beings will be cast into misery. You are no match for them. Do not throw away your lives in vain." Ye Feng handed a painting to Su Ling, "This is my advice."
Su Ling took the painting, bowed in thanks, and then turned to leave.
One month later.
Countless meteors bombarded the earth, landing in various places. Demon Race warriors, as tall as a zhang (3.3 meters), clad in blood-red battle armor, wielding long blades, descended and attacked the territories of the Human Race and the Demon Race.
Immediately, chaos erupted.
In the courtyard.
The Big Yellow Dog kept updating Ye Feng on the outside world.
"Master Ye, the Demon Race has descended."
"I heard that this is only their vanguard. The real Demon Gods have not yet appeared, but even with just the vanguard, Demon Lords of the Fourth Realm have already shown up."
"Master Ye, there's new news!"
"The King Cobra and the Giant Bear joined forces, slaying more than a dozen Demon Lords, so there's no problem for now."
"Master Ye, trouble!"
"More new Demon Lords have descended, with very strong power. The Giant Bear and the others can still hold them off, but it seems the situation isn't good."
The Big Yellow Dog kept reporting the situation, looking uneasy.
According to it, more and more strong warriors from the Demon Race were descending. The Demon Lords showing up had now reached the Pinnacle of the Fourth Realm, on equal ground with people like Su Ling from the Human Race and Demon Race's top powerhouses.
"Has the main event begun?"
Ye Feng sipped his tea with a calm expression.
Near the Heavenly Venerable's Hall on Ocean Star.
"Sect Master Uncle has been attending the assessment for a month now. It looks like he's really going to succeed!"
"Sect Leader is really strong!"
"Even passing the assessment of the Heavenly Venerable's Hall."
"It's still too early to say. Let's keep waiting."
Shi Lei, Shen Yu, and the other disciples whispered among themselves.
Elder of the Black Tortoise Clan and the rest of the members of the Black Tortoise Clan also wore expressions of disbelief, thinking that Ye Feng was too fierce.
To last till the end in his first assessment attempt, it seemed that Ye Feng truly might pass the assessment, potentially becoming the first person ever to enter the Heavenly Venerable's Hall.
In Mortal City.
"Pu!"
Su Ling descended from the sky, landing in Ye Feng's courtyard. Supporting herself on her sword, she knelt on one knee and barely remained upright, then spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Senior Ye, the Demon Race is getting stronger."
Su Ling's eyes reddened.
She had fought ten by herself, and although she had gleaned from a painting named "Sword Rain Flying" the "Ten Thousand Swords Art", greatly enhancing her combat power, she had still been gravely injured.
Of course, she had slain seven Demon Lords overnight, deterring the Demon Race and boosting the morale of the Human Race and the Demon Race.
For now, the three races were temporarily not at war.
The Demon Race was waiting for the arrival of the Demon God.
"In three more months, the Demon God will descend. If I am to fall in battle, Senior Ye, can you avenge me?"
Su Ling's tone was filled with earnest pleading.
Ye Feng remained silent.
The Big Yellow Dog lying on the ground lifted its head, showing a grin, wanting to say something, but after receiving a glance from Ye Feng, it immediately lay down flat, not daring to speak.
Half an hour later, Su Ling left.
She had eaten just one bite of the sweet osmanthus cake made by Ye Feng, which miraculously healed all her injuries and greatly increased her strength.
This time, she finally had confidence.
"Woof, woof, woof!"
As soon as Su Ling left, Big Yellow Dog stood on its hind legs, speaking human language, "That was supposed to be my dog food, Master Ye, why did you give it to her?"
"You can't finish it anyway, so I might as well share some with Su Ling. Who knows, it might help her enter the fifth realm."
Ye Feng said indifferently.
Time quickly passed three months by.
Only half a year remained until the centennial transformation into a mortal.
Boom!
On this day, the whole world was shaken.
A crimson golden meteor tore through the sky and struck the world's westernmost point, smashing a mountain range extending thousands of miles and causing a terrible earthquake.
"I shall be invincible across the world!"
A voice imbued with overwhelming Demonic power spread throughout the world, causing countless warriors of the Human and Demon Races to feel trepidation.
Mortal City.
Ye Feng was eating a freshly made piece of sweet osmanthus cake, listening to the terrifying voice filled with Demonic power of the Demon God, his face expressionless.
"The third hurdle?"
Having said that, he continued eating sweet osmanthus cake. Beside him, Big Yellow was also eating voraciously, with its aura gradually becoming stronger, showing signs of breaking through the limit and stepping into the fifth realm.
With the Demon God's arrival, the world was trembling.
"All those above the fourth realm, follow me to the Demon God Mountain in the Western Region and encircle the Demon God!"
Su Ling soared into the sky from the center of Mortal City, and behind her, 3,000 sword lights emerged, forming a massive fan-shaped pattern containing endless Sword Intent.
Her Cultivation Level was half a step into the fifth realm!
This was the effect of that bite of sweet osmanthus cake.
"Sword Immortal Su Ling!"
"She seems to have grown stronger."
"With 3,000 sword glows, the Sword Immortal will surely slay the Demon God!"
"We are willing to follow Sword Immortal Su Ling to the Demon God Mountain in the Western Region and encircle that hateful Demon God!"
Dozens of powerful warriors at the pinnacle of the fourth realm rose from various places in Mortal City, following Su Ling, flying towards the Western Region.
High in the sky.
Su Ling glanced at the solitary courtyard on Yuhua Street with considerable gratitude.
Had she not eaten Ye Feng's sweet osmanthus cake, her injuries would not have healed, much less would she be half a step into the fifth realm.
"Senior Ye..."
Su Ling closed her eyes, and then, with a determined look, she suddenly opened them and led the charge towards Demon God Mountain.
Inside the solitary courtyard.
Ye Feng stood up and walked to the courtyard's water vat. He looked into the originally tranquil water, where gradually, an image of the Demon God Mountain in the Western Region appeared.
"The great battle begins."
"Is this the final test?"
"But how should I get through this?"
"Should I slay demons and vanquish evil, or should I let nature take its course?"
"It's a pity..."
"Merely with Su Ling, half a step into the fifth realm, and the second scroll I gave her, it may not be enough to slay the Demon God."
Ye Feng watched the scene in the water vat, murmuring in a low voice, his expression complex.
"The fight is about to start!"
Big Yellow Dog's front paws rested on the edge of the water vat, watching the image on the water, eager to know the outcome of the battle.
Western Region, Demon God Mountain.
An imposing figure about two meters tall, holding the Square Sky Halberd and engulfed in golden flames, stood atop the mountain.
This person was the Demon God.
Behind him followed hundreds of fourth realm great demons, and further back, tens of thousands of Demon Race warriors.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Countless streaks of light flew from all over the world, eventually converging on the plain in front of Demon God Mountain.
The leader was Su Ling.
By her side were many fourth realm strong warriors from the Human and Demon Races, each one with a resolute look.
"The courage of the Human and Demon Races is commendable."
"But you don't even have a single warrior at the fifth realm, with the strongest merely half a step into the fifth realm. How could you be the enemy of my Demon Race?"
"All warriors, heed my command, kill without mercy!"
The Demon God wielded the Square Sky Halberd, and the tens of thousands of Demon Race troops behind him immediately charged out, encountering the strong Human and Demon Race warriors on the plain.
The great battle officially erupted!
