Eternal Immortal Clan: It All Started When I Married My Junior Sister!

”Family Head, the area ahead is likely the core region of Dragon Burial Valley.”

Lan Shuyao walked up behind Chen Xu, clutching a communication Jade Slip with a solemn expression: ”The scouts report that the terrain ahead has changed; it’s no longer just a swamp, but a massive basin with strong fluctuations of Restrictions around it.”

”Restrictions?”

Chen Xu raised an eyebrow: ”When did a race like the Demon Race, who only know how to destroy, learn how to set up Restrictions?”

”It doesn’t look newly placed, but rather like they utilized the original terrain of this place and modified it,” Lan Shuyao explained.

”Furthermore, the concentration of Devilish Qi inside is more than ten times that of the periphery.”

Chen Xu nodded slightly. A tenfold concentration would be a death zone for ordinary Cultivators, but for that demon detachment, it was the perfect fortress.

”It seems we’ve found the right place.”

Chen Xu ordered: ”Full army, accelerate. We need to see those fellows’ nest before sunset.”

As the order was given, the thousand Cultivators below quickened their pace accordingly.

The synchronized sound of footsteps on the silent wasteland was like a dull war drum.

Several hours later, the field of vision suddenly opened up.

The black mist here seemed to be drawn by some kind of force, forming a massive funnel-shaped vortex.

And directly beneath the vortex...

A sinister and terrifying black fortress stood tall.

Built against the mountain, rather than a building, it was more like a monster’s nest constructed from countless massive beast bones and black rocks.

The city walls were hung with the skulls of various unknown creatures, flickering with phosphorescent fire in the dim light.

Dense Devilish Qi rose from every corner of the fortress like tangible beacon smoke, piercing straight into the clouds.

Even from a great distance, one could feel that suffocating aura of evil.

”Good heavens, these demon brats really know how to make a mess.”

Badao stopped in his tracks, looking up at the fortress that resembled a monster’s maw, clicking his tongue: ”How many creatures in the swamp did they have to kill to pile up something like this?”

”It’s more than just slaughter.”

Chen Xu’s gaze narrowed; his Divine Sense was far more acute than others.

In his perception, deep underground beneath this fortress, there was a very rhythmic pulsation.

It was like the beating of a giant heart.

That should be the thing the Demon Race is trying to find, or guard.

At this moment... the demons on the fortress had clearly discovered these uninvited guests.

Woo—

The sound of a horn instantly resounded through the sky.

Immediately after, the fortress’s heavy bone gates crashed open.

Countless demon warriors clad in heavy armor poured out.

These demon warriors were clearly much more elite than the small fry on the periphery.

Each was tall with blood-red eyes, and the weapons in their hands emitted a cold, demonic light.

Leading them were over a dozen powerful Demon Generals, each possessing a cultivation level comparable to the Peak of Soul Transformation.

And at the very top of the fortress, a terrifying aura was slowly awakening, its pressure as heavy as a mountain.

It even caused the surrounding black mist to stagnate.

Body Integration Stage!

Or what the Demon Race calls a Demon Sovereign!

”Humans, halt!”

A raspy, unpleasant voice came from the top of the fortress, carrying an unquestionable arrogance: ”This is my race’s Holy Land. Those who trespass shall be left without a whole corpse!”

As the voice fell, a violent mental shockwave swept across.

If it were an ordinary army, this single shout would likely have scared more than half of them out of their wits.

But within the Chen family’s army, those ten Formation Plates simultaneously glowed with green light, neutralizing the shockwave into nothingness.

Chen Xu smiled.

He didn’t even bother to waste words with a fellow who was about to become a dead man.

He simply raised his right hand slightly and then brought it down heavily.

”Boom!”

No testing, no verbal challenges.

It was an ultimate move right from the start.

Chen Xu’s speed was too fast—so fast that the demons on the fortress had no time to react.

Only an earth-shattering explosion was heard as that black bone gate, along with hundreds of elite demons at the entrance...

...were directly turned to ashes in the intense light.

The massive explosion kicked up a wave of air that blew away most of the surrounding black mist.

”Attack.”
