Chapter 324: Ancient Demon Pigs, The Dark Hell Continent
Even the weakest among those several hundred demons were Demon Overlords. There were also a considerable number of Demon Lords and Great Demon Lords.
In comparison, the Kroc Holy Sect’s combat power was rather inadequate!
To sum it up, their combat power wasn’t on the same level at all. There was no comparability between the two at all!
If both parties were allowed to fight it out, the Kroc Holy Sect men would undoubtedly be slaughtered and end up as the demons’ delicious meals.
“Hmph!”
Meng Lei would never allow that to happen, of course. He locked down the dimension around them at once.
Be it the hundreds of demons lunging over or the Kroc Holy Sect men, everyone was frozen where they were as if their acupoints had been sealed and became motionless.
“Destroy!”
Meng Lei uttered.
Splash!
With a loud explosion, the hundreds of demons exploded and burst into mists of blood. The dimension that had been locked down was subsequently freed. Air began to flow again, and chilly winds blew past.
Suddenly, the fat, black armor-wearing youth became the only person left in the sky and was floating all by himself.
As for the several hundred demons?
They had all turned into mists of blood!
“They’re dead?”
The dazed fat youth stared at his subordinates, who had exploded into mists of blood. His narrow, slit-like eyes were widened big and round and filled with disbelief and incredulity.
There were quite a fair number of Great Demon Lords and Demon Gods among his subordinates, which made their overall strength highly powerful. Yet they had been so inexplicably killed in the end!
Just how frighteningly strong was the person who had killed them?
What frightened him even more was—he actually didn’t even know who the one that had killed them was?
“Who was it? Who exactly was the one that killed them?”
The fat youth was filled with alarm and horror, trembling all over. At this point, he saw another youth rising into the air and coming right up to him.
Right on the heels of it, an incredibly fearsome aura began to spread from the youth and instantly weighed down upon him. The fat youth was scared witless at once, and his insides almost ruptured from his fear.
A… A Great Demon God! He’s a Great Demon God!
The fat youth’s eyes were filled with fear and trepidation as he stared at Meng Lei.
“Are you trying to invade my territory?”
Meng Lei spoke unhurriedly, his expression one of aloofness.
“N-no!”
The fat youth mustered a smile that looked more awful than a grimace and said, “S-sir, this is a misunderstanding. This is completely a misunderstanding. I’m just here as… A tourist! Yes, a tourist! Please look into this properly, sir!”
“A tourist?”
Meng Lei picked his ears and said, “Are you insulting my intelligence, or do you think your acting is Oscars-worthy? Get on your knees!”
Thud!
The fat youth knelt down right away. “Spare my life, sir! I have realized the error of my ways. Please be magnanimous and let me off!”
Meng Lei was very satisfied with the other party’s attitude. He said, “By the way, I’d say that I have a pretty good understanding of demons, yet I can’t tell what your true form is. What kind of demon are you?”
“Sir, I’m an Ancient Demon Pig!”
At once, the fat youth transformed into a huge, pitch-dark demon pig that stood 1,000-feet-tall and had two sharp fangs.
“An Ancient Demon Pig?” Meng Lei was startled. “A demon species like that actually exists?”
“Meng Lei, you’d better not underestimate the Ancient Demon Pigs. They are extremely fearsome demons.”
Dodola’s voice rang out as it said, “Ancient Demon Pigs are greedy and gluttony by nature. Not only can their Innate Special Ability, Devour, devour an enemy’s life essence, but it also has a certain chance of plundering the other party’s Innate Special Ability.
“Additionally, Ancient Demon Pigs have an extremely high reproduction rate, which makes their clans’ numbers exceedingly great. There are more Ancient Demon Pigs than even the total number of Colossal Dragon Gods and Titan Gods combined!
“Therefore, the clan holds status and power of extreme importance in the demon faction.”
“Are the Ancient Demon Pigs that powerful?”
Meng Lei was flabbergasted.
His impression was that creatures belonging to the pig species were always at the lowest tier of the food chain and were always food for other species, no matter which world they were in.
Little did he think that the Ancient Demon Pigs would actually be an exception!
“Meng Lei, you must remember this—a clan’s foundation is what determines the number of experts they have. Clans like the humans, Beast People, and Ancient Demon Pigs may generally seem very weak, but because of the clans’ vast foundations, they are usually able to produce a lot of great existences,” said Dodola profoundly.
“Fine!” Meng Lei curled his lip.
Then, he turned back to the Ancient Demon Pig and said, “On account of how your attitude was pretty good, I’ll let you off for now. But while you may escape death, you cannot avoid punishment—hand over your divine spirit origin energy and submit to me!”
“Yes, sir!”
Even though the Ancient Demon Pig was extremely reluctant to do so, he didn’t show it at all. Instead, he very promptly handed over his divine spirit origin energy and allowed Meng Lei to refine it.
“Tell me a bit about yourself!”
“Yes, Master!”
The Ancient Demon Pig said respectfully, “My name is Bailey Yale. In the Pighead Ridge of the Dark Hell Continen—”
“Dark Hell Continent? What kind of place is that?” asked Meng Lei as a shrewd glint flashed across his eyes.
“Master, the Dark Hell Continent is a mid-end demon existential plane—”
“What? A mid-end demon existential plane?”
A huge jolt went through Meng Lei. Even Dodola couldn’t keep its calm anymore, and it exclaimed, “What the heck! Heaven’s Vault Continent is actually linked to a mid-end existential plane! Your luck is off the charts, kid!”
Meng Lei was also very excited. He urged, “Hurry, tell me in detail about the Dark Hell Continent! With the main focus on introducing the powerhouses there, of course.”
“Yes, Master!”
The Ancient Demon Pig didn’t dare to keep secrets from Meng Lei, and it started to speak unceasingly.
Dark Hell Continent was a very vast place. Its territory was a whole million times that of normal low-end existential planes. Given its vast space, it naturally birthed an infinite number of living creatures and innumerable experts.
Great Demon Gods were the strongest beings in Dark Hell Continent. Every Great Demon God ruled over incredibly vast territories and had more than billions of demons under their rule.
As pinnacle-level Demon Gods, the Pighead Ridge that the Ancient Demon Pigs ruled over was also incredibly huge. Its size was equivalent to that of 30 low-end existential planes put together!
The only unfortunate thing was that pinnacle-level Demon Gods were ultimately still just Demon Gods. In a world where Great Demon Gods ruled, even Demon Gods would have to behave themselves and tuck their tails between their legs…
“There are a total of three most powerful forces in the Dark Hell Continent. They are the Dark Hell Demonic Kingdom, the Fallen Empire, and the Three-Headed Hell Kingdom.”
Bailey Yale said respectfully, “These three demonic countries have split up and taken almost the vast majority of Dark Hell Continent’s land. They also have many Great Demon Gods protecting them.”
“How many Great Demon Gods are there in the Dark Hell Demonic Kingdom?”
Meng Lei popped the most crucial question.
“This… I’m not sure, either.”
Bailey Yale hurriedly said, “Dark Hell Demonic Kingdom is a country established by the Divine Netherworld Phoenixes. Although there are few members among the Divine Netherworld Phoenix royal family, they likely have also amassed a group of Great Demon Gods over the long passage of time. As for how many there are in concrete detail, I can’t be sure.”
“The Dark Hell Demonic Kingdom is an empire established by the Divine Netherworld Phoenixes?” Meng Lei’s pupils contracted slightly.
“Yes, Master!”
Bailey Yale replied respectfully, “As for the Fallen Empire and the Three-Headed Hell Kingdom, they are great countries that were established respectively by the Fallen Angels and the Cerberuses.”
Divine Netherworld Phoenixes!
Fallen Angels!
Cerberuses!
Meng Lei licked his lips and remarked, “To think that the three largest forces of Dark Hell Continent are actually built by those three races. Now, this is interesting!”
“You mustn’t be careless!”
Dodola’s voice rang out. “Those three races are no ordinary demon clans. You have to take it easy a little. It would be awful if you end up failing where you shouldn’t.
“Also, there’s something else that I worry the most over.”
“What is it?”
“Dark Hell Continent’s master of the existential plane!”
