Chapter 78 The Moon Demon God Has Turned Against Us?

(Thanks to Ji Mo Feng Qing and Chen Yun Hou for the donations!)

……

"Is the Dream Paradise about to open?"

Yuehui paused slightly, then nodded to the alliance staff member who had made the notification: "Understood, thank you for the notification."

After the staff left, the entire Demon Hunter Team No. 21, a general-level unit, was in an uproar.

Chen Ying'er jumped up excitedly, clutching McDull: "Finally, this day has come! I've been so eager!"

"You've picked up bad habits from Yuan Yuan, haven't you?" Lu Xi couldn't help but sigh and complain.

"Hmph!" McDull in Chen Ying'er's arms chirped twice, its round body wriggling in her arms.

In the past month, they have not actually cleared the sixth level of the first floor of the Tower of Eternity.

It wasn't due to a lack of strength, but rather a deliberate arrangement by Moonbeam—each person would take turns fighting the soul of that powerful flame warrior alone, in order to hone their combat skills.

Long Haochen, Han Yu, Wang Yuanyuan, and Cai'er mainly hone their close-combat skills, improving their reaction speed amidst the flashing blades.

Meanwhile, mages like Lu Xi and Chen Ying'er focused on dodging and defense, enduring the blazing blades for longer.

During this month of intensive training, everyone in the 21st Demon Hunter Squad of General Rank has made significant progress.

Moonlight's spiritual power has reached the critical point of 10,000, and she can condense a second spiritual aperture at any time to break through to the seventh level.

With the help of the special environment of the Eternal Tower, Long Haochen and Cai'er both broke through the 5,000 mark in spiritual power.

Han Yu and Lu Xi also gained 4,800 spiritual power points each by associating with Eternal Melody alongside Long Haochen.

Even Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Ying'er, whose attributes were not completely compatible, reached the levels of 4,700 and 4,600 respectively with the help of the spiritual energy orb.

Although the increase in spiritual power seemed limited, the group's overall combat capabilities underwent a dramatic transformation.

Under the rigorous training of that powerful fire spirit, everyone gained a deeper understanding of their own skills, and their reaction speed and adaptability in battle underwent a qualitative leap.

Their previously awkward teamwork is now fluid and seamless, and their stamina in high-intensity battles is now unparalleled.

……

After more than a month of rest, Zhennanguan has finally regained some vitality.

However, the shocking cracks and scorch marks on the city walls still silently tell the story of that nearly devastating battle.

At this moment, the atmosphere outside the pass was heavy and solemn. All the elite troops within the city had been mobilized.

The entire Templar Knights of the Knights Temple were fully armed, three Emperor-level Demon Hunter squads were on high alert, four King-level Demon Hunter squads stood in formation, and hundreds of powerful warriors from the six temples gathered together.

The six palace masters, Ling Xiao, Han Qian, Lin Chen, San Shui, Ren Wo Kuang, and Ying Sui Feng, stood side by side in front of the formation, their gazes fixed solemnly on the distance.

Behind them were the seven members of the 21st Demon Hunter Team, and three sixth-tier peak contestants who had stood out in the selection competition.

"They're here!" Han Qian's gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice.

A suffocating pressure surged in from the horizon like a tidal wave. Everyone looked up and saw a massive, sky-covering "dark cloud" approaching at an alarming speed.

“Th-those are the Black Dragon Guards!” Lu Xi’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and his voice trembled involuntarily.

That's right, that churning "dark cloud" is none other than the Black Dragon Guard, the most elite force under the Demon Emperor!

More than thirty giant dragons spread their jet-black wings, drawing breathtaking trails in the sky.

The dragons began their swooping descent from a kilometer away from the Temple Alliance, kicking up clouds of dust as they landed.

Accompanied by the rising and falling roars of dragons, these enormous creatures transformed into human form and marched forward in formation with the other demon generals.

Leading the group was a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing. He was as imposing as a mountain, with sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes that exuded authority even without anger—he was none other than the strongest black dragon from before. Upon seeing him, Ling Xiao's expression changed slightly.

What's even more eye-catching are the two purple-haired men beside him.

Their faces were so handsome they were almost otherworldly, and they exuded a captivating charm with every gesture.

Moonlight's pupils suddenly contracted—these two were none other than his father Agares' most trusted confidants!
(They actually came too?)
Behind these three, the Black Dragon Guard and the Moon Demon Clan stood in formation, but even more eye-catching were ten strange beings with orange hair and orange eyes.

They look almost identical to humans, yet they give off an ethereal feeling, as if they might dissolve into the air at any moment.

"The Star Demon Clan?!" Everyone was shocked.

The Star Demons are a race of great magicians among the demons, specializing in magic and possessing the mysterious abilities of divination and foreseeing the future.

No one expected that for this trip to the Dream Paradise, not only would the Demon Emperor personally descend, but even the top three powerful demon races—the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan, the Moon Demon Clan, and the Star Demon Clan—would all send their top experts!
With the current defensive strength of Zhennan Pass, if it were to really fight head-on, it would probably be difficult to withstand the onslaught of this elite demon army.

Soon, the powerful demons had closed in on the Holy Temple Alliance members.

The burly, middle-aged man at the head of the group spoke coldly, his voice like rolling thunder: "I am Huang Shuo, commander of the Black Dragon Guard under the Demon God Emperor. Who among you is in charge? Step forward and speak!"

Ling Xiao snorted coldly and took a step forward: "Priest Temple Master Ling Xiao. What? You don't even dare to show yourself today, only sending some henchmen? Are you afraid of losing another demon god at Zhennan Pass?"

Huang Shuo ignored his taunts, his gaze indifferent: "It's pointless to be glib. Act according to the agreement—His Majesty is magnanimous, and we have done what we promised you. Now, it's your turn to fulfill your promise."

"Hmph, follow me!" Ling Xiao snorted coldly and flicked his sleeve.

In an instant, a dull tremor came from the ground, and several huge cyan figures slowly emerged from the side.

With each step they took, the earth trembled—those were ten colossal azure-winged beasts, each as large as a small mountain.

This giant flying monster was even larger than Huang Shuo, the commander of the Black Dragon Guard. Its broad back was like a mobile platform, naturally suited for long-distance, heavy-duty flight.

Of the six great temples, only the Priest Temple has successfully tamed this rare magical beast.

The eagles obediently lowered their bodies, and Ling Xiao was the first to leap onto the back of the leading giant beast.

The strongest humans followed closely behind, each climbing onto the back of the roc.

With a loud cry, ten azure roc wings spread and took flight, stirring up a raging wind as they sped toward the northern horizon.

Behind them, the Black Dragon Guards roared in unison. More than thirty giant dragons simultaneously unfurled their sky-covering wings, carrying the powerful demon warriors into the air.

……

The Azure Roc and the Black Dragon soared across the sky, and the distance of 120 miles was but a blink of an eye for them.

As Ling Xiao raised his hand to signal, ten azure roc birds landed neatly at the edge of the forest.

The human powerhouses leaped off the backs of the roc one after another, while the demon army slowly landed not far away—more than thirty black dragons folded their wings, transformed into human form, and stood solemnly.

"Commander, we know someone here."

Long Haochen's lowered voice made Yuehui glance at him slightly.

Following his gaze, two undisguised figures stood out conspicuously within the tight protective circle of the demon warriors—

A woman in a purple dress stood proudly in the moonlight, while Leng Xiao stood beside her with her arms crossed.

The two women's gazes pierced through the crowd, meeting those of the Temple Alliance from afar.

Suddenly, Yueye's slender fingers tapped lightly on the side of her skirt, making a few barely perceptible gestures—a code only she and Yuehui understood.

(The team consists of inheritors of the top ten demon gods. Father's order: Kill without mercy!)
Yuehui was taken aback.

(Is Father about to rebel?)
