Chapter 316: Chapter 316: The Origin of the Demon Fiend, Hu Feifei’s Breakthrough

The underground cavern was spacious.

It was filled with black demonic energy.

In the center sat a green, icy steel throne, upon which perched a three-meter-tall figure shaped like a One-horned Demon, with a horn resembling the same.

However, its horn was very short.

At first glance, it looked more like a protrusion.

“Damn Misty Sect, it’s you again!”

This Green Demon stood up, revealing a ferocious face, holding a double-edged greatsword, and glared coldly at Brother Flathead.

The demons here were not born naturally.

Some time ago, after the green core of the One-horned Demon was shattered, a small part of its remaining will fused with nearby beasts, turning them into demons, and it took them slightly more than a month to break through to their current stage.

Therefore, the Green Demon harbored deep hatred for cultivators from the Misty Sect like Ye Feng, Hu Feifei, and Brother Flathead.

“Oh?”

Brother Flathead tactically leaned back, thinking that the Green Demon looked very familiar, much like the One-horned Demon he had beaten up last time.

“Wow! Its rage is skyrocketing.

“Why such profound resentment?”

The Green Demon was bewildered.

Although it also wanted to chop up Brother Flathead, it noticed the intense hatred in its eyes and found it very odd.

Boom!

But before the Green Demon could figure out why, it was sent flying by an enraged figure, retracting hundreds of meters at high speed and slamming into the hard rock wall.

Crack!

Large chunks of rock cracked and turned into powder.

“Seeking death!”

The Green Demon itself was also a Middle Rank Demon General, roughly on par with the recently advanced Brother Flathead.

As demons naturally have strong defenses, that strike, although causing it to feel numb all over, did not injure it.

“Sky-Slaying Ground-Smashing Slash!”

The Green Demon stomped heavily on the ground, using the powerful impact to launch an attack.

The chill-inducing double-edged greatsword struck down towards Brother Flathead.

“Wow!”

Brother Flathead clenched his claws and blocked the greatsword in a flash, then leapt into the air and, with a right fist wrapped in mountain-heavy force, smashed the Green Demon’s nose bridge.

“Ow!”

The Green Demon retreated in pain.

Brother Flathead swung his fist fiercely, knocking the greatsword away, and his sharp claws began to tear wildly at the Green Demon, stripping off countless pieces of green armor.

“Demon Transformation!”

Knowing it was outmatched, the Green Demon quickly burned its Origin power, shrinking its body down to two meters tall, and its armor became even harder, finally resisting Brother Flathead’s fierce onslaught.

“Hehehe, a mere beast, lacking outstanding bloodline power, and still aiming to parallel this general?”

The Green Demon punched out, sending Brother Flathead flying several dozen meters, then caught up and grabbed its tail, throwing Brother Flathead to the ground with all its might.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Brother Flathead saw stars as it was slammed down, its aura gradually weakening, even catching Ye Feng’s attention.

“Huh, Brother Flathead is being thrashed!”

Ye Feng sensed something, opened the Heaven-Asking Mirror, and saw Brother Flathead being swung by the tail and repeatedly smashed into the ground.

As for Spiritual Beasts like Fox Da Hong, they were fully engaged against the Demonic Armored Soldiers in the tunnel.

“Indeed the difference between Bronze and King level, Brother Flathead is soloing the boss, while Fox Da Hong and the others are still struggling against the mobs.”

Ye Feng commented to himself.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Brother Flathead was still being brutally beaten.

However, the anger in its eyes grew fiercer, and its aura was also rapidly soaring.

Boom!

All of a sudden, Brother Flathead’s body expanded several times in size, punching the Green Demon away for hundreds of meters.

Afterward, Brother Flathead landed on the ground.

At this moment, Brother Flathead’s appearance had significantly changed from before.

It grew to two meters tall, its body covered in rippling muscles, protected by thick hide armor, with a row of hard dorsal fins on its back, and its eyes shone with blue light, overall resembling Godzilla.

However, Brother Flathead had two saber-like fangs extending from its mouth, each about half a foot long, resembling those of a saber-toothed tiger.

“It actually used the Spirit Blood of the Fanged Mad Pig absorbed earlier to achieve a combat power-up!”

Ye Feng watched the scene, feeling somewhat surprised.

The Green Demon grew even more terrified.

He could feel that Brother Flathead’s combat power had surged and now completely dominated himself, who had entered the “Demon Transformation” state.

“Roar!”

Brother Flathead let out a dull, majestic sound. His legs forcefully pushed off the ground, leaving a large crater in the hard stone slabs. With the terrifying repulsive force, he instantly crossed several hundred meters and pierced the Green Demon’s chest with his elongated fangs.

“Ah!”

The Green Demon coughed up a large mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with shock.

He never expected Brother Flathead to display such terrifying power, utterly incomparable to their last encounter.

The Green Demon fell.

With endless regret.

“Roar!”

Brother Flathead stepped on the Green Demon’s body and roared skyward, venting the rage and resentment in his heart.

In the passageway.

Fox Da Hong and the other Spiritual Beasts were engaged in a difficult battle.

But with the fall of the Green Demon, all the Demonic Armored Soldiers in the passageway shattered, dissipating into smoke.

The demonic aura of the entire Underground Cavern also began to evaporate.

Crack!

Without the enhancement of the demonic aura, the cavern could no longer withstand the aftermath of the previous battle and began to collapse. Large chunks of rock fell from the passageway, terrifying the Spiritual Beasts.

“What’s happening?”

Pumpkin Wu Gua quickly retreated, expressing confusion.

“This place is collapsing, let’s escape first,” Fox Da Hong decisively decided, pulling a few Spiritual Beasts and rushing out.

Whoosh!

Yet two figures swept across the air at great speed, returning to the outside of the cavern even faster than them.

“Is that… Brother Flathead?”

The Spiritual Beasts rushed out of the cavern and saw the two figures on the ground.

One was the fallen Green Demon, still bleeding from his wounds, his face smashed beyond recognition.

As for Brother Flathead, he was standing on the Green Demon’s body, roaring at the sky as if proclaiming his existence to the world.

“Brother Flathead, how did you become like this?”

Fox Da Hong hopped in front of Brother Flathead, staring with big watery eyes, incessantly blinking.

“Is this a demon from Xieguang Mountain? It looks terrifying. Even if all of us attacked together, we’d be no match,” Toad Si Chu said, eyes wide with amazement.

“Roar!”

Brother Flathead simply roared once and began to shrink in size, returning to his normal state.

He sat on the Green Demon’s body and rose into the air.

Fox Da Hong and the other Spiritual Beasts hurriedly jumped on and flew back to the Misty Sect together.

As soon as they left the Misty Area, several Spiritual Beasts looked up at the sky and noticed the oppressive Tribulation Cloud that gave a sense of heavy oppression.

“Why is there a Tribulation Cloud?”

“Look, Protector Hu Feifei is facing the Tribulation Cloud, it seems she is about to undergo her tribulation!”

The Spiritual Beasts pointed at the sky and discussed.

Brother Flathead gazed at the Tribulation Cloud with a solemn expression.

Atop Misty Peak.

Ye Feng confirmed that Brother Flathead and the others had completed their mission, and immediately put away the Heaven-Asking Mirror, looking up at the sky.

After some time accumulating, the Tribulation Cloud in the sky was finally ready, with wave-like dark clouds rolling and swirling, faintly revealing palpitations-inducing lightning.

Rumble…

A low, growling thunder began to sound.

Everyone realized that the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation was about to start!

Crack!

The first Heavenly Thunder descended, as thick as a water barrel and golden throughout. When it struck, all the wild beasts and plants within a hundred li seemed to be bent by the piercing aura, trembling with fear.

Hu Feifei did not resist.

She just stood in the sky, struck by the thunder, her body shimmering with a pink radiance that grew increasingly dazzling.

“Devouring the thunder!”

“That’s the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation!”

“Worthy of being a protector of the Misty Sect, indeed as terrifying as ever!”

Gong Qingqiu, the Old City Lord of Whitefloat City, and all the cultivators around, witnessing Hu Feifei devouring the Heavenly Thunder, almost fell to their knees.

The Second-generation Disciples were dumbfounded on the spot.
