I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes Novel - Chapter 188

188 Invincible Demon King

“Sect Master Feng…”

After a long silence, Mo Lianque finally put on an expression that seemed caught between laughter and tears. “Then this demon fox… alright, demon snake. What happened?”

Feng Xia said, “I don’t know what happened either. I was about to leave, but it suddenly wanted to kill me. So I seeked it out and killed it.”

Mo Lianque pondered for a moment and did not find any issues with that.

!!
He could only shake his head and said, “It’s most likely that Sect Master Feng has trespassed its territory by mistake, which triggered its intention to kill. If so, then there’s nothing to worry about. The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons is very big, and there are more than just one or two Primal Core Realm demon beast lords. I’ve never heard of this individual before, so he must not be too famous.”

The emperor waved his hand and a smile appeared on his face. “So what if he’s dead? It won’t cause us much trouble.”

Feng Xia also felt that what Mo Lianque said made sense.

He no longer thought too much about it. Instead, he raised his hand and grabbed the demon fox… the demon snake’s carcass. Then, he turned around and returned to the Ancient King War Chariot.

“Let’s go. The Demon Imperial Tombs is about to open. We have to rush to the Demon Capital as soon as possible.”

Not long after, the Ancient King War Chariot tore through the air and left.

All that was left was the desolate scene of devastation and two wisps of remnant thoughts.

…

At the same time.

The center of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons—Demon Capital!

Although the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons was a kingdom of demon beasts, in terms of prosperity, it was even more flourishing than Xuanwu Kingdom’s capital, Fujing.

Towering buildings that were about 100 feet tall, or even over hundreds of feet tall, stood like divine weapons that rose from the ground one after another. They looked dignified and unwieldy as they stretched out towards the distant sky in the east.

In the center of the Demon Capital was a huge floating divine palace!

The main body of the palace was already more than a thousand feet wide. It was majestic and dignified as it floated above the Demon Capital, emanating a soul-stirring aura.

Demon Divine Palace.

The residence of the supreme ruler of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons!

There were all kinds of rumors which suggested that the Demon Divine Palace itself was an extremely powerful divine weapon. Usually, it would be in deep sleep. Only when it encountered an indefensible danger would this divine weapon wake up from its sleep.

However, given the strength of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, and with its countless demon beast lords, the top 10 demon kings at the peak and an incomparably powerful ruler suppressing the world, what kind of enemies would require the kingdom to use this powerful divine weapon?

Regarding this question, many demon beasts had made various speculations, but they did not manage to come to an accurate conclusion in the end.

In the periphery of the Demon Divine Palace stood 10 tall statues. There were some which looked ferocious and sinister, while there were others which had a dignified bearing and gave off a deep aura that caused all the demons to feel the vicissitudes of life.

Just like the Demon Divine Palace, the 10 statues were imprinted with an array which caused them to float in the air. Any demon beast that passed by, regardless of its cultivation, would look at them with reverence.

“The top 10 demon kings… When will we be able to become demon kings?”

In the distance, there were eight little kids who looked exactly the same and who had tiger heads and tiger tails swaying behind them. Their expressions were ones of surprise and yearning as their eight heads gathered together and whispered, “But then again, if we become demon kings, will we be considered one demon king or eight demon kings?”

“Idiot, there are eight of us. Of course it’s eight demon kings!”

“But if we are counted as eight, isn’t it a little too shameless of us to leave only two spots for other demon beasts?”

“You’re thinking too much! It should be their lifelong honor to be able to stand side by side with us!”

The bunch of kids snorted arrogantly like an elder. However, the other demons passing by were already used to this. Whether a demon took human form or not was completely up to each individual.

Therefore, anyone who came to the Demon Capital for the first time would often be shocked by the sight of a place buzzing with demon activity.

Birds and beasts were everywhere, and there were also all kinds of alien races. Some were fully transformed into human forms, and some still retained the characteristics of demon beasts. That was a shocking sight that was difficult to find in other areas of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons!

Of course, although there were demons who were already used to it, there were others who could not stand the tone of this bunch of kids.

“Hmph, you’re young, but your attitudes are not!”

Almost at the same time, a sneer filled with disdain sounded. Then, the soil and rocks shook and a huge demon beast crawled out of the ground, its huge body landing with a bang in front of the eight kids.

The eight kids said in unison, “Pig demon?”

The demon beast’s expression immediately darkened. It waved its sharp claws and snorted coldly. “Look carefully. I’m not a pig demon. I’m an aardvark!”

“Aardvark?” The eight kids looked at one another and said in unison again, “What new breed of pig demon are you?”

The aardvark: “…”

It snorted with an unhappy expression and ignored the children. Instead, it looked at the 10 demon king statues and said in a low voice full of respect, “Everything aside, even the Sky Snake demon king, who is ranked last among the 10 demon kings…”

The eight kids looked at one another and laughed. They clapped their hands and said in unison, “I can replace it!”

The aardvark roared angrily at being interrupted again. It was so hopping mad that it almost opened its big bloody mouth to bite the eight kids.

However, at this moment, a faint aura came from afar and locked onto the aardvark’s body, causing him to involuntarily stiffen on the spot.

“There’s a powerful grand demon… backing these eight little fellows!”

The aardvark broke out in cold sweat.

It hurriedly retracted its murderous intent, and that aura slowly faded.

The aardvark heaved a long sigh of relief. It twisted its stiff neck and looked at the statues of the 10 demon kings. “Even the Sky Snake demon king, who is ranked at the bottom, has the ability and divine power to easily crush any demon beast lord. I’ve even heard rumors that the 10 demon kings are only one step away from that higher realm. There’s an incalculable gap between them and ordinary peak Primal Core cultivators…”

He shook his head vigorously and slowly spat out a few words, “If you exclude the Ruler, the top 10 demon kings are the symbol of invincibility! If you want to replace them, it’s probably still a thousand years too early…”

Crack!

Crack, crack, crack!

Before he could finish speaking, an ear-piercing cracking sound suddenly sounded. Immediately after, the Sky Snake demon king’s statue among the top 10 demon kings disintegrated into fragments that filled the sky!

The eight kids were stunned, as was the aardvark.

Countless living beings inside and outside the huge Demon Capital noticed this shocking scene. An inexplicable sorrowful aura slowly spread between heaven and earth.

After an unknown period of time, a demon beast suddenly cried out in shock.

“The Sky… the Sky Snake demon king is dead!”
