"Damn it, let him run away!" A flash of anger flashed in Lucifer's eyes, but at the same time there was helplessness.
He didn't expect that the Nine Heavenly King would be so ruthless, and would even sacrifice the self-explosion of a powerful man at the peak of the Nirvana realm in exchange for his safe departure.
The people of the demon clan are indeed so inhumane.
Lin Zichen's spiritual thoughts expanded to the surrounding areas, and he felt relieved after making sure that there was no danger around him.
It cannot be said that this trip was in vain. Being able to smash this mechanical empire to pieces is already a huge success. As for the appearance of the Nine Heavenly King, it can only be said to be an unexpected surprise.
"Do you still remember what the Nine Heavenly King said just now?" At this moment, Stephens suddenly asked, "Devil Peak, what is that?"
"It should have something to do with the power of the demons." Lucifer thought for a while and said, "It seems that we still underestimated the power of these guys. There must be other demons hidden deep in the earth!"
Lucifer's voice was very solemn, and it was clear that he knew what the appearance of the Nine Heavenly King meant.
"Looking at his appearance, he must have just woken up and his strength has not been fully restored. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to escape from his hands today." The old man from Atlantis shook his head. He had fought against the demons.
, naturally knowing the terror of the other party.
"What is the level of the Heavenly King?" Lin Zichen asked after being silent for a long time. He only knew that above the True King was the Demon Emperor, but he really didn't know what kind of existence the Heavenly King was.
"Heavenly King, the leader of the demon clan when they first invaded the earth." Lucifer thought for a moment and explained to Lin Zichen casually, "There are ten heavenly kings in total, and their strength fluctuates around the half-step Tianzun level."
Although Lucifer's explanation was very general, Lin Zichen still understood it.
At first, the demons felt that the martial arts strength of the earth was weak, and coupled with the pressing pressure of the powerful people from the parallel world, they did not send the Tianzun realm to the earth. Instead, they asked ten true kings who were half-step to the Tianzun realm to lead the demon army to attack the earth.
.
And these ten true kings who have reached the half-step Heavenly Realm are also called the Ten Heavenly Kings.
At the beginning, these ten heavenly kings brought a lot of trouble to the powerful people on the earth, and they sacrificed countless powerful people to seal them.
But these ten heavenly kings are not vegetarians. Over the years, there have been kings who broke through the seal and led the demons to attack the powerful forces on the earth at that time, weakening the earth's combat power.
The Colosseum, Atlantis and even... China!
"How come the lifespan of the demons is so long!" Suddenly, a trace of doubt emerged in Lin Zichen's heart. The vitality of the demons is indeed tenacious, but their lifespan is similar to that of strong humans. How can they live for such a long time?
"Seize the body." At this moment, the old man from Atlantis opened his mouth to answer Lin Zichen's doubts.
"Every few hundred years, ten heavenly kings will seize the body of an outstanding member of the demon clan to extend their own lives. As long as they fully adapt to the new body, they can regain their peak strength. However, this requires adapting to the new body.
It will take a while.”
"So the Nine Heavenly King's body hasn't fully adapted yet?" Neptune's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.
"His strength has not reached its peak, and he may not have fully recovered, but judging from the power he has exerted, he should be close to it." The old man from Atlantis said with a wry smile.
"My attack hurt his essence," Lucifer said coldly at the side, "It will take at least a month for the Nine Heavenly King to recover from his injuries."
"A month?" Lin Zichen smiled bitterly in his heart. Before this, they had no information about the Nine Heavenly King, and it was impossible to find his whereabouts within a month.
"It seems we must cheer up." Lucifer took a deep breath and glanced at everyone, "Everyone, I call on everyone in the name of the Seven Deadly Sins to stop fighting among themselves and search for traces of the demons with all their strength!"
Whether it was Lin Zichen, Stephens or Neptune, everyone nodded. This was no time for joking. What they were investigating was a matter of life and death for mankind.
Just after everyone returned, a black shadow suddenly appeared in a desert, and then suddenly disappeared. The speed of the black shadow was so fast that even the most advanced radar in the world could not detect the trace of the black shadow.
There is a huge palace underground in the desert. Demonic energy rises in the palace, and pairs of scarlet eyes are filled with the smell of killing.
The Nine Heavenly King walked into the palace, where two people were sitting on the throne waiting for him.
"Old Jiu, you're badly injured." One of them looked at the weak Jiutian King and couldn't help but laugh.
"Hmph! The opponent had too many masters and was careless for a moment." The Nine Heavenly King snorted coldly and said, "The Demon King's Tenth Formation was also shattered."
"If it's broken, it's broken. It's just a formation." Another person sneered, and then asked, "Can you see the opponent's strength?"
"Six forces, three Nirvana realm peak powerhouses, and one of them is stronger than the Nirvana realm peak powerhouses." The Nine Heavenly King said coldly.
"Oh, half-step Tianzun realm?" The man was a little surprised.
"Lao Ba, do you think a strong man who is only half a step above the Tianzun Realm will take action easily?" Jiutian King glanced at him angrily and said, "He is a boy in the late Nirvana Realm, but his strength is far beyond his realm."
The two people sitting on the throne have the same status as the Nine Heavenly Kings. They are both the Heavenly Kings of the Demon Clan. One is the Eight Heavenly Kings and the other is the Six Heavenly Kings.
Judging from the fluctuations of demonic energy on both of them, they have reached the peak of Nirvana, but their auras are not very stable yet.
"He is a boy worth noting." The Six Heavenly King nodded and said.
"There is another woman we need to pay attention to, although she is only in the middle stage of Nirvana." The Nine Heavenly King thought of the Nine Immortal Concubines and hurriedly said, "That woman's power is fatal poison to us demons."
"That's it." After listening to the words of the Nine Heavenly King, a cold light flashed in the Sixth Heavenly King's eyes, "This woman cannot be kept, and she must not be allowed to grow up!"
"Nine Heavenly Kings, why don't you kill her?" Eight Heavenly Kings looked at Nine Heavenly Kings and asked in confusion.
"Why didn't I take action? Where do you think the injuries on my body came from!" The Nine Heavenly King snorted coldly and said dissatisfied.
"Haha, Nine Heavenly King, you should stay here to recover your strength first. The Seventh Heavenly King has left, and now is the time when we need combat power," the Sixth Heavenly King said with a slight smile.
"The Seven Heavenly King is gone? Where has he gone?" The Nine Heavenly King was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the Sixth Heavenly King and asked.
"Went to China." The Sixth Heavenly King said coldly, "The Fiveth Heavenly King is still sealed in that damn place!"
The Mechanical Empire was completely destroyed, leaving no remnants behind, and the demonic energy was purified by the Nine Immortals, disappearing completely.
Because of the appearance of the Nine Heavenly Kings, the entire struggle in the dark world disappeared. The six major forces seemed to have all fallen asleep. Even the struggle in the business world had stopped.
After Carroll returned, he immediately reported what happened today to the US military.
Lin Zichen did the same and told Nangong Jue about this.
In the next two days, the entire United States seemed to have entered a state of first-level defense, and people from the Mage Alliance could be seen everywhere on the streets.
Stephens and Ophelia left and returned to Atlantis.
The appearance of the Nine Heavenly Kings means that the battle between humans and demons is about to begin. In order to protect the golden bloodline, they must go back.
If Lan Luoshi and Jiang Yu hadn't spent some time dealing with the Long Chuan Group's affairs, Lin Zichen would have been ready to return to China.
During these two days, Carol and Lucifer visited Lin Zichen respectively.
They discovered that there was no trace of the demons in the United States, which made Lin Zichen feel uneasy.
Lin Zichen was not worried about his own safety, but worried about China's sealed land.
The whole world knows that there is an independent space in China, and a large number of demons are sealed in it. How could the people in Demon Peak not know?
So after Lucifer left, Lin Zichen decided to return to China immediately.
At the same time, he called his home and asked everyone to prepare to prevent the demons from sneaking attacks.
Just that night, when Lin Zichen, Lan Luoshi and the others were preparing to leave, Nangong Jue called.
"Boy, when will you come back?" Nangong Jue's voice sounded, with a hint of impatience in his voice.
"I was just about to leave, what happened?" Lin Zichen's heart moved and he asked quickly.
"Our intelligence system discovered the presence of demons in China. The goals of those guys are very clear. They are..."
"Sealed place." Before Nangong Jue finished speaking, Lin Zichen immediately spoke.
"Yes, that's right there." Nangong Jue paused and continued, "Master Xuanying and Master Yuling have already brought people there. I need you to come back right away."
"I understand." Lin Zichen hung up the phone, turned to Lan Luoshi and Jiang Yu and said with a smile, "Be mentally prepared, the next step will be a bit fast."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bodies of Lin Zichen and his party quickly disappeared from the spot.
At the same time, above Mount Tai.
Three monks in light blue robes and a Taoist priest in dark blue robes sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain.
Although their clothes are very simple and not as good as those in temples and Taoist temples, it can be felt from the fluctuations on their bodies that these people are all masters.
"Amitabha, the demon clan has appeared, and the world is in catastrophe again." One of the monks opened his eyes and a rich voice sounded.
"No wonder that lord asked my Buddhist and Taoist sects to be born in advance. It seems that the lord had already guessed that what happened today would happen." A Taoist priest nodded and sighed.
"We, the Buddhists, are ready for the final battle." The old monk continued.
"The Taoist sect will gather the disciples from all over the world to control the demons together." The old Taoist priest nodded and expressed his plan.
"Ten heavenly kings have awakened one after another. I wonder if our old bones can still withstand it." The old Taoist priest looked at the clouds and mist above Mount Tai and couldn't help but ask himself.
