Chapter 587: Chapter 586: Escape by Taking Advantage of the Situation

"Nine Scavenger Beast Fist!" the Nine Evil Demon General roared.

His Nine Vultures Fist carried an unrivaled power. After clashing once with the Jingnan Divine General, the latter was sent flying, crashing viciously into a pile of rubble. There was no doubt that the strike was truly terrifying. In a contest of strength, it was unheard of for a Divine Race expert to defeat a Demon Clan martial artist of the same realm. Countless martial artists fell on the spot. When the other soldiers charged forward, the Nine Evil Demon General unleashed another attack.

"Nine Vultures Sweep!"

He swept his tail around, and in an instant, the charging army of thousands was shattered. Warriors of the Demon Clan are truly natural-born titans! Ye Fan exclaimed in admiration. However, it seemed he had forgotten the one thing he was supposed to do: escape. He quickly fled, disappearing into the tumultuous crowd.

The Jingnan Divine General was utterly enraged to see his subordinates wailing in agony. He immediately unleashed his greatest power. His spell cast an overwhelming pressure that blanketed the heavens, transforming into ten thousand swords. He, too, was a master of the blade, and he intended to slice the Nine Evil Demon General to pieces.

"Nine Vultures Roar!"

With a single mighty roar from the Nine Evil Demon General, the ten thousand swords shattered. The Jingnan Divine General knew he stood no chance of gaining any advantage by fighting the Nine Evil Demon General alone.

The Nine Evil Demon General had intended to continue the fight, but he suddenly remembered his boss’s instructions. He turned, meaning to capture Ye Fan, but the spot was empty. Ye Fan had already vanished.

"Cunning fellow!"

The Nine Evil Demon General immediately gave chase, shouting back at the Jingnan Divine General, "Kid, I’ll teach you a lesson next time!"

"You think I’m afraid of you!" the Jingnan Divine General retorted, unwilling to show any weakness. But the Nine Evil Demon General was already gone.

It was an unlucky day for the Jingnan Divine General. Even if he could suppress this incident, what happened next drove him to the brink of madness. Lava erupted from within the mountain. The many slaves and martial artists scrambled to escape as they saw the molten rock burst forth. Seeing this, the Jingnan Divine General collapsed to his knees. It’s over. When the Hu Ben Main God assigns blame for this, my head will roll. Even if I know someone else orchestrated this, will the Hu Ben Main God listen to my explanation? Impossible. My only chance to survive is to run. With that, he resolved to escape.

Meanwhile, in the Demon World, the Nine Evil Demon General approached the Seven-Colored Demon Empress with a disheartened expression. He was utterly frustrated. After finally finding a trace of Ye Fan, he had thought he could return to claim credit from his boss. Now, it had all been a fruitless effort. It’s all my fault for being so competitive. I have no idea how I’m going to explain this to the boss.

A cold snort came from behind a screen. "Jiuxiao," she said, "I heard you found that guy’s whereabouts. Where is he?"

The Nine Evil Demon General answered sheepishly, "Boss, it’s true. I found him, and I almost captured him!"

"And then?" the cold voice from beyond the screen pressed.

"Then I fought the Divine Race’s Jingnan Divine General," he said helplessly. "It was a dreadfully fierce battle, but I used my full strength and beat him until he was begging for mercy!" He didn’t forget to boast a little.

The voice on the other side cut in, "I only want the result!"

"Well, by the time I snapped out of my triumphant haze, the kid had already run away. I didn’t even catch a glimpse of his shadow!" he explained. "Boss, it’s not my fault! That kid is just too cunning!" he added shamelessly.

The next moment, the Nine Evil Demon General’s agonized screams echoed through the hall.

"AH! Boss, stop hitting me! I was wrong, I was really wrong! I won’t be so competitive next time!"

But the sounds of a brutal beating continued. Finally, with no other choice, the Nine Evil Demon General cried out, "Boss, I have another piece of important news!"

"Speak!" came the cold reply.

"It’s Xiao Tian! That guy also found his trail. Xiao Tian is a master tracker. It won’t be long before he brings him to you!" the Nine Evil Demon General pleaded.

BANG!

"AH!"

The Nine Evil Demon General was thrown out of the grand hall, a picture of sheer misery. The voice followed him, cold as ice. "Inform Xiao Tian that if he fails to bring that bastard before me, his fate will be even more tragic than yours!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The Nine Evil Demon General scrambled away, rolling and crawling.

In truth, the Nine Evil Demon General felt incredibly aggrieved. Their "big sister" had a terrible temper and seemed to enjoy beating them for no reason at all. But there was nothing to be done. He could only pray that someday a top-tier powerhouse would come along and get their boss under control. Otherwise, their days of suffering were far from over.

He muttered to himself, "Big sister, oh big sister, if you don’t change that temper of yours, who would ever dare to marry you? Are they tired of living? Ugh, best not to air our dirty laundry in public."

The Nine Evil Demon General patted the dust off his clothes and was about to descend from the Spirit Mountain. But the next moment, he froze, completely dumbfounded and nearly collapsing to his knees. Standing right in front of him was none other than his big sister.

"B-Big Sister!" he stammered. "Uh, Big Sister, I really didn’t mean it!"

Before he could finish, she kicked him squarely, sending him flying off the Spirit Mountain in a miserable arc.

Ye Fan was still in the Outer Domain. He knew that although it was the most dangerous place, it was also the safest. He found a secluded cave, and inside, he took out his godhead. He was perhaps the only one bold enough to remove his own godhead so casually. After the godhead was extracted, he broke out in a cold sweat, the memory of the immense pain still fresh. He then began to fuse it with various materials, finally integrating the Vast Divine Steel.

Once the Vast Divine Steel merged with it, his godhead immediately underwent a transformation. Without a doubt, it was now the strongest godhead in the entire Divine Domain. No other could be found that was sturdier. It shone with a brilliant light, a direct result of the fusion. He then began to merge the godhead back into his body.

HISS!

Ye Fan let out a muffled grunt. Fusing such an overwhelmingly powerful godhead into one’s body was a terrifying prospect. Fortunately, the blessings of his Ancestor Realm Bloodline and Divine Dragon Essence Blood kept his body from collapsing. As the godhead settled into place, Ye Fan discovered he was now on the verge of a breakthrough.

"Are you kidding me? At least give me a day or two to recover and build up my strength!" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Ye Fan really wanted to cry. He had to face a breakthrough without any time to prepare. The power was simply too domineering.

Dark clouds swiftly gathered in the sky, blanketing a radius of several miles. Lightning flashed within them, and with each strike, Ye Fan was stunned. No, "stunned" wasn’t the right word. He trembled. This lightning tribulation was truly terrifying.
