413: Chapter 412: Domineering and Brutal 413: Chapter 412: Domineering and Brutal Boom—boom—boom. In the mountains, Demon Drums were being beaten, and all manners of demons from the mountains were converging towards Heavenly Peak, covered under a blanket of demon lights that filled the skies, signifying today as the day when demons came to pay tribute to Ye Xuan, marking it as a ceremonial symbol of Ye Xuan taking ownership of Heavenly Ridge. “Greetings to the Great Saint Beichen!” The eight Great Demon Kings came from all directions, and as they arrived at Heavenly Peak, they all bowed deeply to Ye Xuan, displaying extremely humble postures. “The Great King is invincible.” “May Beichen the Great King’s life span match the heavens.” The hordes of demons were disorderly and wild, shouts and roars were heard, highlighting the inherently lax nature of demons who longed for freedom, naturally lacking the neat discipline of the Heavenly Court. Although there were grievances towards Ye Xuan, since he was the master of Heavenly Ridge and they were under his protection, they naturally showed some respect towards Ye Xuan. The mountain and seas erupted, demons roared lowly, and the blanket of demon lights filled the skies; Ye Xuan slowly took his seat upon the White Bone Throne. Dressed only in black, without any royal attire or crown, from this day forward, he was the master of Heavenly Ridge. Five-Colored Divine Light filled the skies, and demonic fog from Heavenly Ridge mixed up the wind and clouds. Ye Xuan surveyed the multitude of demons around the mountains, his terrifying might spreading out, silencing the demons, all of whom looked towards Ye Xuan with awe. “Congratulations big brother on taking charge of Heavenly Ridge,” said the Lionheart King with a smile. “With big brother presiding over Heavenly Ridge from now on, our Heavenly Ridge will surely prosper greatly and become an Overlord level existence in the Northern Continent,” the Candle Dragon King bootlicked continuously. “Underlings, the Blood God King is the past; from this day forward, the Great Saint Kong Li will be our master of Heavenly Ridge, certainly leading us to dominate,” the White Deer King not wanting to be left behind, flattered Ye Xuan even more, which led to a chorus of cheers and shouts from the multitude of demons. “Big brother, today you take charge of Heavenly Ridge, do you have any orders for us?” The Qingqiu King, the only female among the eight Great Demon Kings whose true form was from the Green Fox Clan, naturally did not engage in obvious flattery like the Candle Dragon King and others, due to her born intelligence. Ye Xuan sat high on the White Bone Throne, calmly overlooking below where, aside from the eight Great Demon Kings, there were several Great Demons standing on both sides; none of the three Demon Kings were present. Ye Xuan had anticipated this situation, which caused his eyes to turn cold, although he remained silent, the eight Great Demon Kings felt a change in his mood and knew that Ye Xuan was angered. “Big brother, we have already sent word to the three Demon Kings, but the reply was that they are in seclusion and cannot come to pay respects today; however, the three Demon Kings have sent envoys with congratulatory gifts,” Qingqiu King forced a smile. “Envoys?” Ye Xuan sneered disdainfully, calmly saying, “I am quite curious to see what congratulatory gifts they have sent.” Watching Ye Xuan’s serene expression, the eight Great Demon Kings glanced nervously at each other, seeing the concern in each other’s eyes; but none of them said much, quickly summoning the three envoys. A woman in white clothes, her hair silver-white, surrounded by a gloomy aura of death; she was clearly an underling of the White Bone Demon. A toad-like demon with a human body, his legs short, his pitted face rotten, clearly a subordinate of the Swallowing Heaven Toad. And a young man with a human appearance, his aura extremely decayed, clearly showing no signs of life, obviously his true form was a zombie, also an underling of the Chi Yan Heavenly Corpse. “Greetings to the Great Saint Beichen.” The three envoys bowed deeply, their postures neither arrogant nor servile, holding three brocaded boxes, which clearly contained the gifts from the three Demon Kings to Ye Xuan. “My master, knowing that Great Saint Beichen has taken charge of Heavenly Ridge, specifically commanded me to present a South Sea Pearl,” the woman in white said in a cold voice, her pale hand passing the brocaded box to Qingqiu King, who then handed it to Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan casually opened the box, glanced at the brilliant pearl inside, and then nonchalantly covered it back up. “My master has sent a Blood Coral, and hopes that Great Saint Beichen will graciously accept it,” the toad demon spoke in a thick voice, handing over the box, but Ye Xuan showed no interest in even looking inside, leaving Qingqiu King to awkwardly hold it. “A South Bright Fire Pearl,” the zombie youth stiffly handed over the brocaded box to Qingqiu King, then fell into silence. At this moment. The three envoys stood below, the eight Great Demon Kings wore varied expressions, occasionally glancing at Ye Xuan with concern in their eyes. Although the eight Great Demon Kings had not been in contact with Ye Xuan for long, from the way Ye Xuan conducted himself, they could tell that their big brother was by no means like the Blood God King. His methods were overbearing and brutal. This time, three Demon Kings did not come to pay respects, and they wondered how their big brother would handle it. “South Sea Pearl?” “Blood Coral?” “Flaming Pearl of the South Bright?” Ye Xuan sneered, and as his hand gently brushed over the three brocade boxes, under the astonished gazes of the eight Great Demon Kings and the three envoys, all three brocade boxes turned to flying ash. “Merely mundane objects, and yet presented as gifts to me? Does your master think I, Kong Li, am easy to bully, or do they think they have lived long enough?” Ye Xuan leaned forward, his eyes extremely chilling as he looked at the three envoys as if he wanted to devour them. “Gr...Great Saint is joking... these are indeed the finest treasures of our king’s possession... how could they be merely mundane objects?” stammered the toad spirit, forcing a smile. “Great Saint sees clearly. When the Blood God King was in power, my master was not his subordinate, merely allies. Please understand, Great Saint,” said the woman in white, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. “Hmph!” The zombie youth snorted coldly and did not offer any excuses. The attitudes of the three envoys varied, but clearly none of them took Ye Xuan seriously. This caused the faces of the eight Great Demon Kings to change drastically, knowing that something big was going to happen. Indeed, under the alarmed eyes of the eight Great Demon Kings, a smile appeared on Ye Xuan’s face, but it was extremely horrifying, as if it made one’s soul tremble at a glance. “Kill them.” A simple phrase entered the ears of the eight Great Demon Kings, causing them to slightly start. Just as they were about to urge Ye Xuan to reconsider, they saw him looking at them with an utterly cruel gaze. This realization made the eight Great Demon Kings abruptly understand and break out in cold sweat, knowing Ye Xuan was testing their loyalty. “How dare you, a small demon, show disrespect to my big brother?” The Candle Dragon King, being a turncoat aware of his past offenses against Ye Xuan, saw this as an excellent opportunity to demonstrate his loyalty, causing him to bellow and stride toward the three envoys. Faced with the frightening murderous intent of the Candle Dragon King, the color drained from the envoys’ faces, with the toad spirit trembling as he retreated, “Candle Dragon King... what... what are you doing... if you kill us... how... how will you explain it to our king?” Mention of the three Demon Kings caused a slight change in the Candle Dragon King’s expression and his aura to falter, a trace of fear crossing his eyes. However, as he felt Ye Xuan’s chilling gaze, his body suddenly trembled and any fear vanished. “To disrespect my big brother, die for this king.” Boom! The Candle Dragon King erupted into action, reaching out with a palm strike that made the void explode, instantly turning the three envoys into a mist of blood, their screams silenced before they could even utter them. The Candle Dragon King’s action was over in a flash, and by the time the other Demon Kings reacted, it was too late. Additionally, in that moment, all seven could feel the chilling gaze of Ye Xuan, leaving them trembling internally and cursing themselves for not acting sooner. “How could we let them die so easily?” The Lion Heart King’s eyes shifted as he roared loudly, his Great Demon Technique shining brightly as he pulled out the primordial spirits of the three envoys. However, the other Demon Kings had already awakened, not allowing the Lion Heart King to show his loyalty to Ye Xuan alone. “Die!” The seven Great Demon Kings struck furiously, instantaneously obliterating the three envoys’ souls, scattering them to death. Then, they turned to look at Ye Xuan, each face bearing a flattering smile, though fear covertly crossed their eyes. “Hmph!” Ye Xuan snorted coldly and looked away from the eight Demon Kings. The killing intent around him also dissipated at that moment, allowing the eight Great Demon Kings to quietly breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that Ye Xuan would no longer take issue with them. The three envoys were dead, their souls scattered, but the matter was not yet settled. For anyone daring enough to defy his will, Ye Xuan’s consequences would be unimaginably dire. “Have you been watching all this while? It’s time to come out.” Suddenly, Ye Xuan’s eyes turned menacing as he stared into the endless void, making the eight Great Demon Kings start, and then quickly realize what he meant. “What? Do I need to personally invite you three out?” With a harsh laugh, Ye Xuan slowly rose from the White Bone Throne. As his eyes opened and closed, they seemed like two large stars revolving within them. Behind him, the Five-Colored Divine Light shook heaven and earth, twisting the surrounding world to its extreme.
