Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting
Chapter 505 - 287: Golden Roc Demon King, All-Out War
In the open, the Desert Demon Race has five Great Demon Kings, but secretly there is also a Celestial Cyan Demon King. After Wei Fan slaughtered the Celestial Cyan Demon King and the Purple-eyed Demon King, now only four remain—Heaven-Supporting Demon King, the Saint Master of Profound Crane Sect, Golden Roc Demon King, and Black-winged Tiger King.
The Heaven-Supporting Demon King, afraid of being hunted by Wei Fan, remains hidden within the Profound Crane Sect, and even upon hearing Murong Hua has descended with Holy Soldier to kill Wei Fan, did not leave the Profound Crane Sect.
Though he is impulsive, he is not foolish. Without concrete news of Wei Fan’s demise, the Profound Crane Sect remains the safest place for him.
The remaining Golden Roc Demon King and Black-winged Tiger King, having no interaction with Wei Fan, still reside in their territories.
Besides, they cannot hide in the Profound Crane Sect as a result of fearing Wei Fan, abandoning other demon fiends.
Most importantly, the cultivation of these two Demon Kings is not comparable to the Purple-eyed Demon King; they both possess Demon King Second Layer cultivation, not matching Wei Fan’s prowess.
Wei Zhenwu laughed heartily: "I was indeed joking with you!"
"..."
This statement caused the Saint Master of Profound Crane Sect’s expression to change; he has faced Wei Zhenwu for many years, almost like confidants, thus, when Wei Zhenwu jokes, Wei Fan must have killed Murong Hua.
In a moment’s thought, he quickly sent a message via the Communication Token to Golden Roc Demon King and Black-winged Tiger King: "The Demon Race is in danger, both Demon Kings please come quickly to the Profound Crane Sect."
If Wei Fan can kill Murong Hua, who possesses a Holy Soldier, he certainly can kill him too. Now, the only way to survive lies in the four Demon Kings gathering at the Profound Crane Sect, perhaps offering a chance to resist Wei Fan and the Human Race.
"Trash!"
The Saint Master of Profound Crane Sect’s face becomes grim; with Murong Hua dead comes another troublesome issue—Guangling Sect’s Holy Soldier falls into Wei Fan’s hands.
This results in the Human Race having more Martial King powerhouses than the Demon Race, along with more Holy Soldiers.
The Demon Race possesses only one Holy Soldier from the Profound Crane Sect, whereas the Human Race now holds Guangling Sect’s Holy Soldier and Celestial Desolation Empire’s Holy Soldier.
If Wei Fan can kill Murong Hua, he must at least possess a Holy Soldier.
This means, in the coming situation, the Demon Race will face the Human Race with one Holy Soldier against three, and King-level experts more numerous on the Human side.
He couldn’t have anticipated Murong Hua would carry a Holy Soldier down the mountain, and join his Profound Crane Sect to kill Wei Fan, resulting in this outcome, no wonder Wei Zhenwu would pester him.
Wei Zhenwu reveals a mocking expression: "Don’t you think it’s a bit late to inform Black-winged Tiger King and Golden Roc Demon King?"
"You have already acted against Black-winged Tiger King and Golden Roc Demon King?"
The Saint Master of Profound Crane Sect’s face turns grave, as there is no response to the sent message.
...
Two figures streak across the sky, vanishing in an instant, without causing any force ripples.
For Martial King level powerhouses, flight requires no use of personal power; a thought alone allows one to soar to the heavens and escape.
Gao Wanfu and Wei Fan journey side by side, saying: "I hope Elder Gongyang and the others can capture the Black-winged Tiger King. As long as there are no issues on their end, our Desert Human Race plan to pacify the demon fiends will succeed in one stroke!"
They will go forth to slay the Golden Roc Demon King, while Elder Gongyang leads the Red Sun King and another Martial King of the Human Race to kill the Black-winged Tiger King.
Wei Fan gazes ahead: "With three Martial Kings acting, there should be no problem. Even if we can’t kill, it doesn’t matter; should that beast hide in the Profound Crane Sect, we’ll clean up together!"
Gao Wanfu nods: "Ahead lies Celestial Roc Ridge, Golden Roc Demon King is at Demon King Second Layer; what are your plans, are you going to attack directly?"
Celestial Roc Ridge, nestled amidst mountains, is Golden Roc Demon King’s domain. Indeed, without Gao Wanfu’s reminder, Wei Fan knows they are close to their destination.
He already sees the majestic mountain ahead, its atmosphere surging, colossal birds occasionally crossing the sky.
"Attack directly and kill!"
Wei Fan’s eyes reveal a cold gleam; this is a decisive battle to sweep away the demons of the wilderness, no need to adhere to rules barring Martial Kings from striking lesser demon fiends.
Celestial Roc Ridge, the bastion of Golden Roc Demon King, hosts many bird demon fiends—a vast array of power.
At that moment, power surges within him, Martial King presence envelops the sky.
"Great Sun Shattering Fist!"
In days, he has already refined the Martial King-level Great Sun Shattering Fist to Perfection.
Endless Essence Qi converges, merging with his power, forming a blazingly red sun in his hand, whose scorching heat immediately disperses clouds from the heavens.
Gao Wanfu’s eyes display shock, somewhat speechless: "Martial King First Layer Perfection!"
How little time it’s been, yet Wei Fan’s cultivation reaches Martial King First Layer Perfection. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Boom!
The fiery sun unleashed by Wei Fan emanates terrifying heat, hurtling toward Celestial Roc Ridge; in an instant, Celestial Roc Ridge resembles the descent of the Golden Crow, forests igniting in swathes.
"Roar... who dares to be audacious in this king’s Celestial Roc Ridge!"
A roar echoes among the mountains, Demon King aura erupts like a volcano, Demon Qi surges to the sky, followed by a golden giant hand rising amidst the mountains to meet the sun.
Bang!
The hand and sun collide, both nearly explode simultaneously, destructive ripples radiate, countless demon fiends living in Celestial Roc Ridge are shattered on the spot.
Massive dust clouds roll, mountain tops collapse, then shatter, obliterating waves pass through, all of heaven and earth vanishing completely.
Many demon fiends barely react before transforming to blood mist, disappearing, staining the dust red.
[Slain Golden Body Demon Venerable, gained 20,000 years of Ordinary Power]
[Slay the Spirit Concentration Demon Monarch, gain 5000 years of ordinary power]
[Slay the Nascent Soul Demon Fiend, gain 2000 years of ordinary power]
...
The panel in front of him flickered wildly, but Wei Fan didn’t pay much attention. After this strike, even if there were still Demon Fiends alive at Celestial Roc Ridge, there wouldn’t be many. Now, the only target left was the Golden Roc Demon King.
"Kill!"
He and Gao Wanfu lightly shouted together, like a bolt of lightning crossing the void.
In the smoke and dust all over the sky, from the place where the giant hand had risen before, came a furious roar: "Damn beast, for killing so many of this king’s clan, this king will surely annihilate your human nation!"
A majestic figure burst through the dust, rising from the already leveled ground, the frenzied aura continuously vibrating.
Beneath the golden feathers was a powerful human-shaped body, but atop the tall figure was a bird’s head, with sharp eyes emanating boundless anger.
Golden Roc Demon King!
One of the four great Demon Kings of the Demon Race!
An unparalleled powerhouse of the Second Layer Demon King rank, across the wilderness only the Saint Master of Profound Crane Sect, the Saint Master of Guangling Sect, and Wei Zhenwu of the Celestial Desolation Empire could surpass him in cultivation.
His body was covered with golden-yellow feathers, each as sharp as a blade, as if cast from gold, shimmering with a metallic luster.
The aura of the Demon King spread overwhelmingly, and the previously scenic and spiritually abundant Celestial Roc Ridge had now turned into ruins, no longer buzzing with demons as before.
The Golden Roc Demon King’s eyes were about to crack: "Gao Wanfu, you beast, for killing so many of my offspring and clansmen, the Demon Race will surely wage all-out war against you Human Race! Just wait for revenge!"
This was his territory; those living here were either his kind or his descendants. But now, only some insignificant demons on the periphery survived, all others were dead, including several of his Demon Venerable offspring.
"Full-scale war has already begun. Today our Human Race will wipe out you demons in one fell swoop, restoring a bright sky to the people!"
Gao Wanfu shouted fiercely, slashing forward with a palm strike directly at the Golden Roc Demon King’s chest.
The Golden Roc Demon King’s pupils constricted upon hearing this: "You want mutual destruction?"
As he spoke, he launched a palm strike, directly forcing Gao Wanfu to retreat: "Just you with Martial King First Layer want to kill me?"
He showed a disdainful expression, not caring even when besieged by two Martial Kings.
With Second Layer Demon King cultivation, he didn’t fear the siege at all, and even had the confidence to kill one of Gao Wanfu, only the Hall Master of the Demon Hunter Gomyang Bo dared to fight him before.
"Mutual destruction, do you even qualify?"
Wei Fan’s figure flashed, leveraging the Great Sun Shattering Fist to kill, instantly radiating with heaven-blazing heat, blue smoke rising from the ground.
"Was it you, beast, who acted before, killing many of my descendants? This king will kill you!"
Once Wei Fan acted, he was immediately recognized by the Golden Roc Demon King.
His eyes shot out astonishing killing intent, his arm transformed into a sky-covering wing, slashing out like a golden great blade.
Boom!
The air was exploded, vibrating and spreading to both sides, the huge wings coming down heavily, splitting the sky in two.
"Indeed, those who can cultivate to become Demon Kings are no simpletons, to even reach Second Layer Demon King under such conditions of Dao Collapse, makes him a standout among Demon Kings.
Without the Martial Saint inheritance obtained by destroying the Guangling Sect, by my strength alone, I’d stand no chance against this Golden Roc Demon King."
Wei Fan was inwardly startled by the momentum of the Golden Roc Demon King, realizing that without the Martial Saint inheritance, he couldn’t have battled the Golden Roc Demon King at all.
The great sun was cut by the wings, dissipating into energy, Wei Fan felt his bones were almost split apart, his body involuntarily retreating in the void.
Of course, the Golden Roc Demon King didn’t gain any advantage either, a feather on the huge wing was blasted off by Wei Fan, the Golden Roc Demon King’s body also retreating.
"Martial King First Layer Perfection could injure my feather?"
The Golden Roc Demon King retreated with a look of astonishment: "You are Wei Fan?"
He naturally knew of Wei Fan punching the Purple-eyed Demon King to death, frightening the Heaven-Supporting Demon King to hide in the Profound Crane Sect.
"Murong Hua came down the mountain with a Holy Soldier and yet didn’t kill you!"
The Golden Roc Demon King was astonished; if Murong Hua failed to kill Wei Fan, then what about Murong Hua?
Unless Murong Hua had already been dealt with, Wei Fan wouldn’t dare appear.
Wei Fan showed a set of white teeth: "He’s already been slain by me!"
As he spoke, he swept forward like a whirlwind, attacking the Golden Roc Demon King again.
The Golden Roc Demon King felt his hackles rise: "This is impossible!"
But the facts in front of him indicated that Murong Hua was likely slain by Wei Fan.
With this thought, the Golden Roc Demon King’s anger subsided, replaced by wariness.
If Wei Fan had slain Murong Hua who had a Divine Soldier, he could kill him as well.
"Nothing is impossible. If we hadn’t dealt with our Human Race’s internal matters, how would we dare launch a major offensive against your Demon Race today!"
Gao Wanfu launched an assault from another direction towards the Golden Roc Demon King, attacking alongside Wei Fan.
