The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Descending Upon the Great Liang Imperial Palace, Seven Steps to Heaven Treading Mountains and Rivers
 

Atop the Quasi-Imperial Corpse, a group of Demonic Beasts gathered, enclosing several blurred figures.

The young man leading them had a unique aura about him. Without revealing any trace of his cultivation aura, he emanated an ethereal, otherworldly sense of mystery.

Next to this young man stood a young woman.

Her clothes were torn, and her pretty face was dirtied, resembling a stray kitten in distress, yet she was recognized by those present.

“It’s the Third Princess!”

“Is this Quasi-Imperial Level Corpse the reinforcement she found?”

Someone shouted, emotions running high.

“Third Princess, it’s you!” The Bone Demon Empress was first taken aback, then a vicious smile and murderous intent spread across her face.

Her subordinates had all vanished without a trace, yet here was the Third Princess returning atop a Bone Demon of Quasi-Imperial strength, which spoke volumes about the fate of those subordinates.

Most likely, they had all perished.

This loss caused the Bone Demon Empress some heartache, but more than that, it sparked anger and an intense desire to kill.

“Xiao Fen is back?”

The Great Liang Empress, blocked by dozens of her clan’s elders and unable to take to the skies, lifted her head and gazed at Liang Wanfen standing atop the Bone Demon. First joy crossed her face, and then her expression changed as she shouted:

“Run quickly, you’re no match for the Bone Demon Empress!”

The Quasi-Imperial Corpse was strong.

But that was all.

In front of the Bone Demon Empress at the Lower Rank Demon Emperor Peak, a Quasi-Emperor was insignificant and would be obliterated with a single slash.

“Cackles, think you can escape?”

The Bone Demon Empress sneered, brandishing the White Bone Longsword, and charged towards Liang Wanfen in the air.

She decided she would torture the Third Princess Liang Wanfen to death right before the eyes of the Great Liang Empress!

The Great Liang Empress loved her people like her own children and was even more caring toward her own daughters, especially the gifted Third Princess Liang Wanfen, whom she had been grooming as the next Empress.

The Bone Demon Empress was certain that the Great Liang Empress could not stand idly by and watch her torturing the Third Princess. She would surely abandon all caution to leave the Formation and attempt a rescue.

And that would be the perfect moment for her to annihilate the Great Liang Empress.

“How dare you!”

As the Bone Demon Empress had anticipated, the Great Liang Empress’s aura surged, the dozens of Snow Rabbit Clan’s powerhouses were sent flying, and she broke through the Formation. Her hands formed seals, unleashing a Divine Skill she had created herself.

“Thousand-Mile Ice Seal!”

With the Great Liang Empress’s overwhelming aura, as soon as she completed the seals, a vast storm gathered behind her and swooped towards the Bone Demon Empress.

“You finally came out!”

The Bone Demon Empress cheered, wielding the White Bone Longsword, slashing swiftly, the scorching blade aura tearing through the ice and frost to strike the Great Liang Empress.

Boom!

The Great Liang Empress reeled from the blow, sustaining even greater injuries and crashing heavily against the shield, sending out ripples by the thousands, and she spurted a large mouthful of fresh blood.

“Empress!”

The countenances of the Snow Rabbit Clan’s powerhouses turned ashen.

The Empress was their sky!

But now, their sky had been pierced, a fact that was unfathomable and filled them with despair.

“Mother Empress!” exclaimed the First Princess and Second Princess, rushing out of the Formation to support the Great Liang Empress.

“Master, save my mother!” At that moment, all heard the Third Princess’s heart-wrenching scream from above the Bone Demon.

The voice was not loud, but it was enough to spread throughout the scene.

Master?

The Third Princess has taken a master?

The crowd instinctively turned their gaze towards the handsome and upright young man on top of the Bone Demon, deducing that he must be the Third Princess’s master.

But, even the Quasi-Imperial Bone Demon was no match for the Bone Demon Empress; how could this ethereally tempered young man of the Human Race, with no cultivation aura at all, stand against the Bone Demon Empress?

“Master?”

Hearing the voice, the Bone Demon Empress hastily turned her head to look at the top of the Bone Demon, her gaze landing on Ye Feng.

In that instant, their eyes met.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gazing into Ye Feng’s calm eyes, the Bone Demon Empress inexplicably felt a tinge of unease.

“What’s going on?”

A chill crept into the heart of the Bone Demon Empress.

She was, after all, a skeleton that became a demon, climbing to her current position by crushing countless corpses underfoot.

One could say her hands were steeped in the blood of innumerable debts.

Despite this, the Bone Demon Empress felt that the young man before her had taken the lives of even more beings than she had.

In fact, it was the influence of Slaughter Energy.

In terms of the number of beings slain, Ye Feng couldn’t compare to the Bone Demon Empress.

“I am offering you a chance to submit,” Ye Feng said as he slowly stepped forward.

The Bone Demon Empress hadn’t yet developed the intent to kill him, and if she could be subdued to become a Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast, it would be a windfall.

“Submit? Become your spiritual beast?”

The Bone Demon Empress’s eyes narrowed slightly, flames dancing in her gaze as anger grew.

“I, the Bone Demon Empress, have cultivated arduously to never submit to anyone. And yet you attempt to tame me? Dream on!”

A piercing slaughter intent suddenly erupted.

“Scarlet Heavens Frost Slash!”

With both hands gripping the sword, the Bone Demon Empress brought it down from above.

In that moment, the White Bone Longsword began to automatically devour nature’s spiritual energy, becoming a heavy, terrifying vortex that plummeted down.

“Alas, what a pity!”

Sensing the Bone Demon Empress’s intense intent to kill, Ye Feng knew she could not be subdued.

He silently took out the Wind Spirit Pearl.

Since being transformed into a lower grade spiritual treasure, it had been growing explosively in power.

Certainly, the Wind Spirit Pearl itself was not adept at combat.

However, the Wind Element Spirit Energy birthed from the Wind Spirit Pearl was becoming increasingly formidable.

The sword light it produced was enough to sever Divine Origin Realm!

A wisp of Wind Element Spirit Energy fluttered from Ye Feng’s palm, quickly forming into a sharp, semi-translucent sword light that cleaved through the vortex of the White Bone Longsword and continued unabated toward its target.

Crack!

The White Bone Longsword was chopped off by a segment.

“What!”

The Bone Demon Empress was shocked.

That was her enraged strike, one that even the Great Liang Empress at her prime would have to struggle to counter.

But the man before her casually reached out and pointed a finger, producing a qi light that shattered her attack.

Fear, powerlessness, shock—such emotions began to erupt.

The Bone Demon Empress realized she was no match for the man before her and immediately turned to flee into the distance.

The Great Liang Empress, the First Princess, the Second Princess, countless powerhouses of the Snow Rabbit Clan, and the many strong ones of the Great Liang Imperial City were all utterly astonished.

The previously intimidating Bone Demon Empress was now scared into publicly fleeing!

This scene, if not witnessed with their own eyes, would be beyond belief.

“Thinking of escaping? Too late!”

Ye Feng rose into the air.

While Wind Element Spirit Energy could cleave the Bone Demon Empress, it wasn’t enough to completely annihilate her.

Hence, Ye Feng decided to use “Seven Steps to Heaven”.

“One Step Qi Refining, Cosmos Resurrection.”

As Ye Feng took the first step, the heavens and earth suddenly shook, drawing in endless influential forces from the world to bestow upon him.

At that moment, the Bone Demon Empress felt as though she was targeted by a mysterious force, unable to evade and forced to take the hit head-on.

She turned back to look at Ye Feng, eyes brimming with resentment.

“Dream on if you think you can kill me!”

“I, the Bone Demon Empress, would rather be shattered to pieces than let you…”

Rip!

A wisp of Wind Element Spirit Energy became a sharp aura that sliced off her chin, silencing her abruptly.

Afterward, Ye Feng took seven consecutive steps.

His aura soared to its peak.

At that moment, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a thousand li of the Great Liang Imperial City trembled wildly, causing even the Great Liang Empress to feel a tingling on her scalp.

“Seven Steps Heavenly Venerable, unrivaled under the heavens!”

As the words were spoken, heaven and earth quaked, and Ye Feng lifted his foot, infusing all his momentum into his sole and stomping down with all his might.

Boom!

The body of the Bone Demon Empress collapsed into a mist of white fog.

The violent energy exploded, sweeping like a fearsome tide, shaking the heavens and the earth. Ye Feng consumed three wisps of Wind Element Spirit Energy to finally gather it and condense it into a fist-sized silver-white Demon Core.

This was the essence of the Bone Demon Empress.

Its value was not inferior to that of a lower rank Demon Emperor Core.

Crack!

The might of this one foot continued to be released, landing in the river near the plateau, leaving a kilometer-long footprint a hundred meters deep.

From afar, it looked as if a supergiant had stamped on the river, creating a unique imprint.

As time passed, the river water filled the footprint, turning it into a unique lake.

The crowd watching was struck dumb.

The Bone Demon Empress, whom even the Great Liang Empress could not handle, had been stamped out by Ye Feng’s foot!

If not seen with their own eyes, who would believe it?

This youth, was truly terrifying!
