Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

After three layers of darkness, there were not many experts who could break into the crimson palace, including the two leaders of the Black Shield Clan and the Beast Taming Clan.

Of the remaining four leaders, Queen Medusa and the first elder of the Turing Clan were all support-type. Only the two leaders of the Strong Arm Clan and the Fire Clan were still able to fight.

Looking at each other in bewilderment, the two lords had no other options except to lead their subordinates forward.

They were fighting a fierce battle against the Hell Destroyer Clan with the 'divine equipment' that they had just retrieved.

However, the Prison Guardians had just opened two ancient arsenals a year ago and received a lot of 'artifacts', too. They had a deeper understanding about the usage of the magical equipment than them.

Besides, there was still the real Lord Cooper.

It was an iron tower as magnificent as a mountain and looked like a slowly-moving demon mountain. He was covered in layers of armor, with countless sharp thorns protruding from the gaps of the shell. Even his face was covered by a terrifying mask.

A two-handed giant sword that was even taller than a human being seemed to weigh thousands of kilograms. It was impossible for a human being to wield it. But it was spinning like a hurricane with the enhancement of the magical equipment. If somebody touched it, their bones would be broken, their flesh and blood would explode, and they would be killed instantly.

Lord Cooper alone was enough to suppress the remnants of the coalition army, including Black Jack and Theresa.

The experts of the Strong Arm Clan and the Fire Clan arrived in front of him in vain. They crashed into the rocks on the shore like a surging tide and were blown into pieces before they were blown back again, but they failed to cause any damage to the rocks.

"Cuba!"

The Thousand-Handed Lord of the Strong Arm Clan screamed. The mechanical arm that stored hundreds of weapons and maintenance tools was torn apart by force. Then, the giant sword slapped his chest so hard that it almost collapsed. He was blown dozens of meters away like a kite whose string had been cut off and crashed into the liquid metal wall of the crimson palace, leaving a shocking dent.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Red Lotus General of the Fire Clan opened fire. Almost a hundred clusters of burning flames took the form of an army of thousands of soldiers and soldiers, which almost dyed the high and majestic dome above everyone's head into an ocean of flames. He waved his hands and commanded the burning legion to charge at Lord Kuba.

Raising the giant sword in his hands high, General Coopera slashed at the Burning Legion and summoned an army of tornadoes in midair.

The army of tornadoes and flames collided in midair. All the devilized people were blown away by the blast. The two armies perished together. The only thing left were the dim flames that spread out and quickly died down like candles in the wind.

While Great Lord Red Lotus was still recovering from the exhaustion of his magical power, Great Lord Kuba charged at him like a collapsing mountain. He lowered his shoulder and knocked him away to join the Thousand-Armed Monarch.

He was unstoppable. As expected of the leader of the strongest species in the Blood Demon Sector, just by standing in the middle of the battlefield with his long sword, he had an air of invincibility.

"You idiots…"

A gloomy and low voice came from behind the hideous devil mask, with a hint of mockery. "You think you can solve the secret of the 'crimson palace'?

"Let me tell you something. Even if your stupid tricks can stall me for three days and three nights and make you rack your brains in this place, it will still be impossible for you to gain the highest control rights of the crimson palace and unlock all the forces of the Blood Demon Sector!

The words 'highest clearance' made Theresa's heart skip a beat.

It seemed that General Cooper knew more about the real face of the Blood Demon Sector—the super warship Jade—than other demons did!

"I am the only one destined to be the real dominator of the crimson palace and the Blood Demon Sector. The journey of our race is much more complicated than the Blood Demon Sector or the Emerald Continent. Above the demon world and the human world, there are endless brilliant stars waiting to be conquered!

There was an irresistible charm in his voice. He extended his hands to the demons who had been seriously wounded by him and said, "Although you are foolish and ignorant, you are of some use in the journey of our race. Now, kneel down and submit to me. Don't force me to kill you!"

The remaining soldiers of the six tribes looked at each other in confusion.

In the Blood Demon Sector, the strong reigned supreme. It was only natural that the weak submitted to the strong.

In the civil war of the demon race, there were barely any casualties. The weak often surrendered to the strong after the victory was determined.

After all, they had the same dream, which was to conquer the Emerald Continent and taste the sunlight.

Besides, the captains of the Black Shield Clan and the Beast Taming Clan had been trapped in a dark space, and there was no telling whether they were dead or alive. Without a leader, they did not know how to resist the intimidating aura of Lord Cooper.

Faced with the covetous eyes of the Exos who were ready to start a massacre at the slightest disagreement, many devilized people of the Black Shield Clan and the Beast Taming Clan were the first to waver.

Although they had not kneeled down, they had put down their weapons and given up resisting.

Behind his mask, Lord Cooper sniffed and turned to Queen Medusa and the first elder of the Turing Clan.

"First Elder Turing, I don't understand."

"Why didn't you hand over the map of the crimson palace to me in the beginning? If you had, a lot of precious blood would've been shed in the Blood Demon Sector.

"Because you are not qualified to inherit the legacy of the Crimson Queen.

The brain of the first elder of the Turing Clan was shivering inside the translucent artificial skull. He said calmly, "Opening the crimson palace by force and absorbing the power that you cannot bear will only lead to the destruction of you, the Prison Clan, and the entire Blood Demon Sector.

"I'm not qualified? Hahahaha. What a joke!"

Lord Cooper burst into laughter. "I am an invincible expert of the Blood Demon Sector for a thousand years. If I am not qualified to inherit the legacy of the Crimson Queen, who is? You, Queen Medusa, or these two losers?"

"You don't understand…"

The first elder of the Turing Clan sighed and was about to explain, when something unexpected happened.

A black aura, as fast as lightning, pierced into the hole on the left side of Grand Monarch Kuba's mask, trying to pierce into his eye sockets!

With a slight tilt of his head, the black aura scratched the mask with earsplitting noises and blew it away.

Everybody looked over in surprise, only to discover that it was Black Jack who had launched a fatal attack at Grand Lord Cooper with a crossbow of Chaos.

Unfortunately, he still failed.

Without the mask, Grand Lord Cooper's long hair was dancing crazily like black flames. His face was still hidden in the burning black flames, but there was resolution and desolation in his voice.

"No. I understand."

From the black flames, a male and female face as soft as jade was revealed.

A bitter and cruel smile appeared on her face. "I understand the price to be paid to inherit the legacy of the Crimson Queen. I am willing to pay any price for the power that is above all the stars in the universe!

Without the mask, his voice was even sharper and gloomier.

Strands of burning black hair dangled down, making the face that was completely different from his imposing aura look particularly cruel and… glamorous.
