Chapter 1397
Chapter 1397 Great Demon’s Body
“Are you sure?” Tianxingzi asked with uncertainty.
It seemed that Zhang Hanyang was not someone to be trifled with. He killed people at will. Especially in the last incident in the Fiend Cave, he even slaughtered humans, leaving only 1,000 people alive.
It was obvious that many people were no different from weeds on the roadside to him.
“I’m not sure, but if he doesn’t let anyone else go up there, he’ll incur public wrath,” the Taoist Lord of Dragon said. “All of us by ourselves might not be a match for him, but that’s not necessarily the case when we work together. It’s been a long, long time since the Demonic God has appeared.”
“Alas!”
The words of the Taoist Lord of Dragon caused Tianxingzi to let out a deep sigh.
He felt somehow tired.
In fact, he really wanted to remind the Taoist Lord of Dragon not to be attracted by the trivial benefits he was seeing. “If Zhang Hanyang gets angry, he will kill you with his finger as well. I’m afraid that you won’t even have a chance to cry by then.”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Zhang Han walked forward step by step with Mengmeng and Zi Yan.
As far as the eye could see, demons were everywhere below them.
There were also many Exotic Beasts and humans.
The scene wasn’t nice.
Yet Zi Yan felt a sense of warmth.
Just like that, the three of them began to stroll through the clouds in the chaotic world.
They stood in the sky.
Finally, the three Demon Lords looked at each other. Unable to repress their curiosity, they warily started to follow Zhang Han’s team.
They stepped on the steps.
“We finally have a way to go up there!”
“I can see what the palace above is.”
“Be careful of Zhang Hanyang and keep a safe distance. If he shows some signs of attacks, we will retreat as soon as possible.”
Only the Demon Lords knew the terror of Stone Demon King.
Now that Zhang Hanyang was much more terrifying than Stone Demon King, they had to be more careful.
“Let’s go!”
Taoist Lord of Dragon led the way, and the second group stepped onto the stair.
Brass Immortal hesitated a moment and then followed.
As for Tianxingzi, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and performed an incantation gesture with his right hand, apparently divining something.
In the end, he shook his head. “The workings of the heavens are unfathomable. I don’t want to get involved with this.”
Tianxingzi stayed where he was and didn’t go up.
But several other high-position officials of the Human Clan couldn’t help following the crowd.
In this regard, the demons had stricter rules.
None of the demons spoke a word when the three Demon Lords strode up. The Demon Monarchs stayed where they were, not daring to go up.
As for the Exotic Beasts, many of them wanted to retreat because they didn’t rely much on treasures.
Only a few of them went up to observe the situation.
The teams that ascended to the clouds were divided into three groups.
The first group was led by Zhang Han, who was separated by several steps from the crowd at the back. The second group was the three Demon Lords who were thousands of meters away, and the third group consisted of several humans and some Exotic Beasts who were very close to them.
At this time, Zhang Han was like a big ship riding the wind and waves.
With each step he made, steps would appear.
“Daddy!”
Mengmeng whispered, “There are still a lot of people following those Demon Lords behind us.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Zhang Han shook his head slightly and smiled. “They just want to see what’s up there, and that’s all they can do.”
What they didn’t know was that among the human team, a white-robed man was walking forward, but after he took a few steps, swoosh!
A black line suddenly shot out from the hilt of his sword and entered his forehead.
His pupils abruptly turned blood-red.
He looked ahead with a devilish smile as he murmured in a low voice, “Finally, this is it. It’s the legendary Demon Corpse.”
He was acting strangely in the crowd, but no one noticed it at all. Not to mention the Taoist Lord of Dragon and the others, even Zhang Han and Yue Wuwei did not notice it.
This strange and unfathomable ability was very strong. It seemed that his identity was also obvious. It was that mysterious existence, the Demonic God.
Mengmeng looked around cautiously and asked in a low voice, “Dad, tell me secretly, how strong are you now?”
“You’re acting like a thief,” Zi Yan laughed and said.
Mengmeng chuckled and said, “If we’re heard by others, won’t it be exposed?”
“The answer is obvious.” Zi Yan smiled and said, “The Demon Lords are in the Peak-Stage Integration Realm or the Early-Stage Mastery Realm. Judging from the performance of Stone Demon King, he should be in the Early-Stage Mastery Realm. Since your dad managed to defeat that guy with one finger, he will definitely be regarded as in the Last-Stage or Peak-Stage Mastery Realm.”
“Is that so? Well.” Mengmeng pouted.
“That can’t be right. Daddy, how did you get to skip so many realms?” Mengmeng was suddenly stunned.
“As I said last time, it’s true that I can master the hidden energy in this world and defeat all those cultivators below the Tribulation Stage, but my realm hasn’t improved that much.” Zhang Han shook his head slightly.
“That’s still very amazing.” Mengmeng said, “You’re the most powerful.”
Her tone was still the same as when she was a child.
It made Zhang Han burst into laughter.
“Let’s go up and have a look.”
Zhang Han looked up slightly at the Sky City above.
From where they were standing, their distance from the city seemed to be similar to that from the ground.
They didn’t know how far they needed to go following this pace.
It was not that they were going too slow, but space itself was constantly expanding.
If they didn’t have a solution, they might never make it there.
But Zhang Han knew how to do it.
Buzz!
Zhang Han’s eyes were shining with black light.
In the next moment, the steps under his feet were suddenly entangled by wisps of black energy.
When they stepped on it, they found that they were much closer to Sky City.
They kept going up until they reached the eighteenth step.
Finally, they arrived in front of the giant city.
Perhaps it was more like a huge palace.
“Devil Palace?”
Mengmeng was stunned. “Why is it written in Chinese?”
“No, this is not purely Chinese characters, but a kind of characters that all races can read. It can also be called a kind of printed supernatural power,” Zhang Han explained.
“It’s amazing,” Zi Yan said slowly.
“This hall is so big.”
“The view here is just unlimited. When we were getting up here, there were clearly no clouds. However, when we look down now, all we can see are clouds.”
“Are we in the Alternate Space? Or a worldlet?”
“The scenery is beautiful.”
In front of them was a huge square with a towering palace.
They didn’t know whom such a large palace was built for.
It was because they felt that they were as insignificant as ants the moment they made it there.
“They want to come up.”
Yue Wuwei glanced behind him indifferently.
“Aha.”
Zhang Han waved his sleeve.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The steps vanished into thin air.
“AH!”
The closest Demon Lord was the first to be impacted. He was unable to fly, and he could even sense monstrous pressure. He vomited blood and fell at a high speed.
The other two Demon Lords didn’t cough up blood, but their faces were deathly pale.
“Oh no!”
“Run now!”
The vigilant Taoist Lord of Dragon immediately flashed and fled downwards.
However, the steps disappeared too fast.
There was no time for them to react at all.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One by one, they all fell.
“Trying to take advantage of the situation?
“Trying to watch the show?
“What a bunch of clowns.”
They should’ve known their places by remaining on the ground and not stepping into the sky.
But Zhang Han turned up his nose at those who followed his team.
However, no one had expected that the body of a human in the sky suddenly broke into pieces. Wisps of light-black weapons condensed into a three-meter-tall shadow. He struggled and his figure kept swaying.
All of a sudden, he rose to a higher level.
One meter, two meters, five meters, ten meters…
The progress was slow, but he was rising every second.
“This world belongs to the Demonic God!
“As long as I devour some Demon Corpses, I will truly be able to reach the Tribulation Stage.
“Before I get to achieve that, it won’t be possible for me to even leave this place.”
The black shadow kept swimming and finally became smaller and smaller, turning into a small fish-like figure, swimming up.
At this time, Zhang Han and the others were walking on the huge square.
“We’re finally here.”
After two full hours, they made it to the front of the hall and saw a flight of stairs at a 45-degree angle.
“There are 999 steps,” Yue Wuwei said. “Let’s take this path.”
“Are you sure the number is 999?” Zhang Han smiled.
“Hmm?”
Yue Wuwei was stunned and looked at it carefully. “It’s 999.”
“Elder Yue, I think there seem to be 99 steps,” Zhang Guangyou said hesitantly.
“I agree.” Gai Xingkong nodded.
“Yes, I think it’s about a hundred.” Zhao Feng echoed.
Many others nodded as well.
“How could it be? I think there are a lot of steps,” Mengmeng muttered.
“How many can you see?” Zhang Han asked with a smile.
“There are so many of them that I can’t count them all. They seem to be close to 10,000,” Mengmeng said with uncertainty.
“What about you? How many do you see?” Yue Wuwei looked at Zhang Han and asked.
Everyone fixed their eyes on Zhang Han.
He chuckled. “9,999.”
“Why are you seeing so many?” Yue Wuwei frowned slightly.
Zhang Han looked serious.
“Why is that?” Yue Wuwei asked again.
Zhang Han took a long breath and said slowly, “Maybe it’s because of my looks.”
“What?” Yue Wuwei’s pupils shrank.
He almost wanted to hit Zhang Han.
“Huh? Hahaha…” Mengmeng instantly laughed.
The others were speechless.
“Do you mean that I’m not good-looking enough?” Rong Jiali suddenly asked.
Zhang Han’s smile froze.
“Crap. I just offended a large number of people in order to please my daughter.”
“Ahem. Let’s go. Let’s go up there.”
Zhang Han changed the topic and took the lead to go up.
Sure enough, under his leadership, everyone passed 9,999 steps.
It was a long way.
With his family around, he was fearless no matter what demons or monsters he might encounter.
It seemed that Zhang Han had found the most important thing in life during this mental journey.
“Hahaha.”
After walking up the steps, Zhang Han chuckled.
They looked ahead.
Except for Zhang Han, who had expected this, everyone else, including Yue Wuwei, widened their eyes and were stunned.
“What, what, what is this?”
“I can’t hold on any longer. I feel that I really want to surrender.”
“Help me up.”
“God, what am I seeing?”
Under everyone’s gaze, the hall ahead of them had a few simple structures.
But the huge throne was dazzling.
On the throne that was more than 30 kilometers high, there was an armored man with red eyes and two horns on his head.
It was a demon, an unprecedented Great Demon.
