Refining the Mountains and Rivers

When Blue Wave saw the Demon Commander level red-eye demon, he grasped the key to survival – the other party’s target wasn’t him.

Feature was the reason that this Demon Commander level red-eye demon had appeared, without even hesitating to reveal himself.

It had to be known that exposing himself was in itself a great danger.

If news spread about the existence of a Demon Commander level red-eye demon, numerous influences of the abyss would band together to eliminate him.

A Red-eye Demon King had already captured several layers of the abyss, causing countless billions of demons to live in fear.

The world of the abyss would not allow a second Red-eye Demon King to be born. No matter how small the chance was, they had to be thoroughly extinguished.

The more Blue Wave thought about this, the colder his heart became. He couldn’t figure out a way to get out of this alive…even if his big brother was the City Lord of Adversity Peak City and had a high chance of being recognized by the abyss in the future and becoming a Demon King.

But unexpected surprises often appeared in the midst of despair. The red-eye demon sitting atop the giant demon beast unexpectedly nodded and said, “You may leave.”

Blue Wave’s eyes widened and his heart began to quicken. Logical reasoning told him that things wouldn’t be this simple.

The Red-eye Demon Clan was bloodthirsty and vicious; how could they let him go? And weren’t they afraid he would expose their existence?

There had to be a problem, there definitely had to be a problem!

Could it be that once he left this camp, he would immediately be encircled and killed? Were there other red-eye demons waiting in the periphery?

But that wasn’t a problem. As long as he got out of the range of these two Demon Commander level powerhouses, he could use the life-saving card his brother gave him to flee.

That’s right, he could do this!

Blue Wave took a deep breath and looked at Feature. At this moment, the red-eye demon said, “Only you can leave. She must stay.”

His expression was cold and icy, giving no room to negotiate.

Spring Breeze 13th Madame’s complexion changed. “Commander?” She had worked together with the Red-eye Demon Clan, violating one of the greatest taboos of the abyss. If this were ever exposed, she would die.

She certainly didn’t want there to be hidden dangers that threatened her safety.

The Red-eye Demon Commander was expressionless. He glanced at her and said, “I have my own plans for this. There is no need for you to say anything.”

Covered by his gaze, endless horror rose up in Spring Breeze 13th Madame’s heart and her face paled. She hurriedly nodded and bowed.

Blue Wave had an uncertain expression. But before a breath of time passed he had made a choice…compared to death, nothing else mattered.

After figuring this out, he no longer wavered. He directly said, “I will immediately leave, and I will not reveal anything concerning this matter. If I violate this vow, I will be rejected by the abyss and die without a burial ground!”

In the abyss, this sort of pledge had a binding vow. If he violated it he would be discovered by the abyss’ will and suffer a pitiful fate.

The Demon Commander level red-eye demon curled his lips, sighing even as he laughed, “Leave.”

Blue Wave turned and walked away, not even sparing Feature another glance. Capturing a royal woman had endless benefits, and it was worth giving it his all.

But if he had to choose between life or death…of course he would choose life!

“Sir, save us!”

“Please bring us with you, we can also swear that we won’t say anything about this!”

“Sir, don’t abandon us!”

Blue Wave’s demon guards pleaded out loud, their faces full of panic and fear. No one in the abyss was unaware of how cruel and terrifying the red-eye demons were. Once they fell into their hands, death would be the best result.

Blue Wave turned a deaf ear to all of this and acted as if he didn’t even see them. He turned and started to walk away.

Save you?

Sorry, but saving myself is difficult enough.

Feature’s eyes flashed with mocking disdain. She opened her mouth and said, “Sir Blue Wave, are you leaving now?”

Shua –

Black Astral blocked his path, his cold face expressionless and his eyes faint.

Blue Wave trembled as these eyes covered him and he subconsciously felt fear. He clenched his teeth and looked up, “Miss Feature, you and I are in a crisis today and we can only rely on our own methods to escape. Why must you make things difficult for me?”

Feature chuckled. “It was you who said you would guarantee our safety before. How did it end up that we’re making things difficult for you?”

Afraid that an accident was more likely to occur the longer he was here, Blue Wave didn’t want to stay a second longer. He turned and looked at the Red-eye Demon Commander, “You were the one that allowed me to leave. What they are doing right now is defying your will!”

The Red-eye Demon Commander had a faint expression. He lifted his hands and grasped forward. Billowing thunder sounded out between the heavens and earth as tremendous amounts of demonic energy started to gather.

In the blink of an eye, this demonic energy formed a thick and dreadful demon arm, one that was covered in scales. It mercilessly reached forward.

Black Astral was as expressionless as a still mountain. His pupils instantly spread out, covering the entirety of his eyeballs and turning them pure black in color.

Bang –

A formidable aura burst out like a broken tide, an erupting volcano. Black Astral’s robes fluttered around him as he punched without hesitation.

A heaven-shaking explosion smashed the demonic arm apart. Endless demonic energy blew outwards, forming a visible shockwave that disintegrated the ground as it spread outwards. Endless thick trees were pulverized to dust and twisted into pieces.

The pleading demon guards, 13th Madame who was wrapped in a bubble of light, and the over a hundred red-eye demons were sent flying away.

The entire world fell deathly silent!

Blue Wave’s eyes grew even wider. With a protective treasure defending him, he had barely been able to resist the shockwave and remain standing.

He looked up to see Black Astral slowly draw back his fist and felt like a clown.

Demon Commander…he was a Demon Commander…

But how was this possible!?

He had personally witnessed as with a few words from Feature, Black Astral leapt into the river to catch fish and other food materials to satisfy her appetite.

Why would a Demon Commander do this? It was simply the greatest shame of all.

Blue Wave stiffened because he thought of something else. If Black Astral was a Demon Commander, what about that old fellow who played the role of a chef?

Gulp –

He subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of spit. He felt as if icy water had flooded his heart, causing it to sink further and further.

Another person who was shocked and startled was Spring Breeze 13th Madame. She discovered that she really had kicked an iron plate this time.

Once any rumors spread out that connected her to the Red-eye Demon Clan, all that awaited her was a miserable end.

Even if she didn’t return to Five Origin City and abandoned all the industries she started there, the bloodthirsty red-eye demons were villains that would never keep someone as useless as her around.

As she thought about how the Red-eye Demon Clan dealt with their problems, her complexion paled. All of her charm and demure vanished from sight.

“Demon Commander!” The red-eye demon shouted out loud. His deep red eyes flashed with excitement and dignity.

The reason he was able to break through to his current boundary was because at some time in the past, he accidentally swallowed an injured Demon Commander and seized their bloodline for himself.

It had been extremely dangerous. In fact, he had been a hair’s breadth away from having his body seized in return.

But in the end, the red-eye demon leader was the one left smiling and he obtained his current strength.

So, he knew with unusual clarity just what sort of harvests a Demon Commander could bring.

But the premise was that he could smoothly suppress his opponent and complete the swallowing.

If this was any other place, he might not be able to accomplish this. This was because this Demon Commander was obviously a tyrannically strong opponent.

Luckily for him, just in case something strange happened he had brought all of his subordinates here today. By temporarily borrowing their powers, he would have a chance.

Harvests came with proportional risks. Since he had made a move today, there was no more getting out of this…if he wanted to grow peacefully and find a chance to evolve, he could not allow his existence to be exposed.

Thus, all of these people had to stay behind!

He lifted a hand and slapped the great beast beneath him. Its appearance was similar to that of a lizard. Right now, it roared out loud, mucus and saliva dripping down from its mouth as it revealed countless sharp teeth. They were like rows of knives that flashed with an ice-cold light.

Hou –

As it roared, a strength similar to breathing was ejected from its mouth.

Black Astral revealed a solemn expression. But before he could do anything, this breath blew apart, transforming into a black net that sparkled with blood red light.

This thing was an unexpectedly strong imprisoning demon tool!

The red-eye demon leader stood on top of the lizard demon beast’s head. He slowly lifted his hand. As he did this, the red-eye demons behind him suddenly revealed pained expressions.

Their red eyes revealed cruelty and agony, as if they were wolves that could bite down at any moment. But none of them dared to resist their leader’s plundering.

Blood energy departed from the bodies of these red-eye demons. It constantly fused into the leader, causing his aura to rise at a dramatic speed.

Hou –

With a loud roar, billowing abyssal demon energy was drawn in from all sides, condensing into the phantom of a monster.

The reason it was called a monster was because in the abyss, such an absurd abomination had never appeared. It had five heads, each of them with a different shape. One of them was simply a mass of rotten meats that had been kneaded together.

Then, they twisted together, twining around each other and forming a thick body. Dozens of sharp claws jutted out in a savage manner. They were like branches in a dark and windy night, dancing wildly in the air.

This was the natal demon seed outline of this red-eye demon. The various mixed bloodlines had barely fused together, resulting in this hideous and terrifying creature.

And condensing a natal demon seed outline represented that one had transcended the formidable strength limit of a Demon Commander.

Back at Great Deer City during the beast tide, Black Astral and City Lord Blackpool had barely managed to accomplish this after taking two super mighty invincibility pills that Feature gave them.

From this, it could be understood how strong the red-eye demon leader was after plundering the strength of his subordinates.

His eyes grew increasingly red, as if they were dripping blood. He stubbornly locked onto Black Astral.

But just as everyone believed that this Demon Commander level red-eye demon would engage in a brutal slaughter against Black Astral, what he actually did was attack Feature, who was standing not too far away.

Hou –

The monstrous demon seed outline roared out loud. Dozens of arms reached out, grabbing at her.

Although the red-eye demon leader impatiently wanted the bloodline strength of this Demon Commander, he knew how to bide his time.

If he captured Feature and swallowed her, he could obtain her demon seed bloodline. Even if this didn’t allow him to break through his current bottleneck, it would allow his strength to rise further.

At that time, killing Black Astral would be easy!

His plan was correct and his attacks were sudden. His diversionary tactics had almost reached perfection. But what a pity, even if Feature couldn’t do anything, there was more than Black Astral protecting her.

Old Fox stepped forward. Without concealing anything, he erupted with his own strength.

Although he wasn’t a true Demon Commander, by relying on a rare treasure of Thousand Eye Temple he could erupt with strength comparable to one.

Even though he had resigned from his position as branch division steward, that didn’t mean he had to hand this treasure over.

Old Fox had paid an unknown price to finally obtain approval to obtain this treasure.

Unless he died, no one could take it away from him.

The Fox Clan’s demon seed outline wasn’t strong, but the Demon Commander level was still the Demon Commander.

At this level, he could mobilize abyssal demon energy with just a thought, commanding it to comply with his will.

A 1000 foot demon fox phantom appeared. It howled and blocked off the demon seed outline. But, Old Fox’s strength difference compared to the strength of the Demon Commander level red-eye demon was obvious.

With a heaven-ringing shock, the demon fox phantom began to disintegrate. It blocked right and left, only then barely managing to resist the natal demon seed outline attack.

Two Demon Commanders!

This was actually two Demon Commanders!
