Chen Yun's challenge was earth-shattering.
A voice so magnificent, it seemed to shake the heavens and earth.
Such extraordinary cultivation has left everyone in awe.
Both the countless common people in that group and Yun's younger brother, Li Chunfeng, Du Guangting, Fa Hai, and Huo Bagu who were all cultivators never expected Chen Yun's law to be so astonishing.
Especially Du Guangting, Fa Hai, Fa Zhen, and the Bagu Monk, who had met Chen Yun earlier, were all amazed at the rapid advancement of his cultivation.
Way back then, Mr. Chen was just an average cultivator a few years ago.
But after a few years, he has advanced so much that his voice alone can shake the heavens and earth. This cultivation level has left Du Guangting, Fa Hai, and others feeling inferior to him.
Let alone them, even the master Li Chunfeng was somewhat astonished, not daring to believe that Chen Yun could integrate his voice into the universe.
Those who haven't reached the level of a master cannot imagine the impact that Chen Yun's skill has.
As the master who is just a step away from reaching the level of a true master, Li Chunfeng naturally understands that such skills are not something ordinary people can achieve.
At his level as a master, he could technically do it, but it's not as easy and composed as Chen Yun's approach.
Of course, while everyone is amazed by Chen Yun's cultivation, it's still evident that his current strength may only be at the level of an ordinary high-level cultivator and is not comparable to that of Li Chunfeng.
Because of this, when they heard Chen Yun challenging the demon king, they all appeared helpless and puzzled.
As a high-level cultivator with a dragon of master level, you think you can challenge a master-level demon king, the eight demon marquis who are as powerful as high-level cultivators, the ten demon generals who are as skilled as superior cultivators, and the thirty thousand little demons?
It's easy for anyone to imagine the consequences if the demon king actually accepts the challenge!
Li Chunfeng serves as the perfect example, having his life severely beaten until he can't take care of himself.
But now that Chen Yun's challenge has been issued, there is no turning back.
Everyone can only gaze towards the black cloud vortex, hoping that the demon king will accept the challenge.
Surprisingly, the demon king's reply was quite swift.
The black cloud vortex surged, instantly condensing into a ghostly face spanning thousands of li in width.
The ghostly face cackled and howled in a piercing voice, "Little one, you are merely a high-level cultivator. The dragon under your command may be at the master level, but it's still not enough to match me. What ability do you possess to make the king of demons lead his army to fight you?"
As soon as the demon king's voice echoed, a fierce gale swept through the heavens and earth, uprooting ancient trees in its path. One can imagine the sheer power of his might.
Moreover, as the demon king revealed his ghostly face, the surrounding black killer aura swirled and shot into the sky, forming an unknown array of dark red flames that rose and fell in the air. The vast and terrifying malevolent energy covered the sky.
Master Li Chunfeng's expression turned serious, and his eyes locked onto the old demon.
Du Guangting, Fa Zhen, Fa Hai, Bagu Monk, and other cultivators were also sweating from their palms.
As for the local cultivators, those with too weak a cultivation were actually suffocating under the demon king's roar.
And even a weaker cultivator of the lowest level was pressed down by the overwhelming force and knelt, his hands supporting himself in the sandy ground, gasping heavily "hoho" as if he was struggling to withstand the demon king's blazing aura.
Let alone the cultivators, much less the ordinary people.
When the demon king's roar echoed, almost all the people of Dengzhou felt dizzy and disoriented, as if their souls were about to be ground into dust, and they had no sense of direction.
And some with weak willpower were even directly stunned into unconsciousness.
Despite everyone's shock at the demon king's terrifying power, whether it be Li Chunfeng, Du Guangting, Fa Hai, and others, or Yun's younger brother, Li Nian, or the tens of millions of common people, almost all of them gazed towards the sea direction. They were also curious to know what kind of abilities this high cultivator who dared to challenge the demon king possessed.
Chen Yun answered boldly, "Just the two of us, Yao Dao Friend, and I, are certainly not your match or the combined forces of your old demon and his followers. However, I also have several disciples and thousands of divine soldiers and generals."
"Oh?" The massive ghostly face formed by the demon king looked across at Chen Yun, "What disciples and divine soldiers and generals do you have? Speak up and let me hear them. If I'm satisfied, I will bring my forces to fight you!"
"Haha, good old demon."
Chen Yun laughed loudly and waved his hand, causing several streams of sky-high light beams to surge behind him.
Everyone took a closer look and saw five heavily armored warriors appear abruptly in the air.
There was also a white monkey wielding a large iron staff somersaulting among the clouds, occasionally emitting squawks.
Chen Yun reached out and said, "I have five disciples, all high-level cultivators and four upper-level cultivators. Additionally, my white monkey spirit beast is comparable to an upper-level cultivator. What do you think, old demon? How do my disciples and spirit beasts compare to yours?"
Li Chunfeng was slightly astonished.
Yun's younger brother and Li Nian were also taken aback for a moment.
Du Guangting, Fa Hai, and other cultivators also couldn't help but be startled.
Everyone was truly surprised to see that Chen Yun's disciples and spirit beasts were so powerful. A high-level cultivator, four upper-level cultivators, and a spirit beast comparable to an upper-level cultivator. This combat power was indeed quite strong.
It's just a pity that, compared to the demon king's side, there seems to be a significant gap.
As expected, the demon king once again cackled and said, "Your disciples and spirit beasts are indeed quite good, but their numbers are a bit lacking. If it were just these people and beasts, it wouldn't be worth my while to personally take action. I can simply dispatch the eight demon marquis to kill you!"
Chen Yun replied calmly, "Do not rush, old demon. I have not yet summoned my divine soldiers and generals."
With that, he took out the Soul Refining Banner and waved it.
In an instant, the sky was filled with vibrant colors as if a rainbow had appeared. The weather seemed to have cooled down at the same time.
Then, thousands of divine soldiers and generals, shining with jade-green luster, appeared in the sky above the sea.
Li Chunfeng was greatly surprised!
Yun's younger brother and Li Nian, both women, drew in a cold breath!
Fa Hai, Bagu Monk, and the remaining cultivators were even more shocked, widening their eyes!
Initially, when they saw Chen Yun accompanied by his disciples and spirit beasts, they were already sufficiently shocked, as the lineup was quite strong.
However, none of them expected Chen Yun to summon thousands of divine soldiers and generals from the Soul Refining Banner. This was something truly impressive.
The cultivators were no fools and could easily discern the level of cultivation from the divine soldiers and generals based on the divine light flowing through them.
Hundred upon hundreds of divine generals who were as skilled as upper-level cultivators!
Two thousand and eight hundred divine weapons that were comparable to average-level cultivators!
This lineup was astonishingly powerful!
Li Chunfeng took a deep breath and said, "Chen friend, you actually have such an army? Truly astonishing."
Du Guangting was initially shocked, then revealed a covetous expression, "I have cultivated for decades and have only obtained dozens of divine soldiers and generals from my master, the rest being just ordinary soldiers. Chen friend, how can you have so many divine soldiers and generals at your disposal?"
Fa Zhen was overjoyed, "With so many divine soldiers and generals at Chen friend's disposal, we seem to have a chance of defeating the demon king."
Fa Hai let out a long breath, and the seriousness on his face finally relaxed, even as he smiled slightly, "Hmm, at first I was wondering where Chen brother got the courage to challenge the demon king. It turns out he has so many divine soldiers and generals at his command. The outcome of this battle seems uncertain now!"
Bagu Monk didn't say anything, but his gaze towards Chen Yun and the three thousand divine soldiers and generals was full of surprise.
Even these high-level cultivators were amazed, let alone Yun's younger brother, Li Nian, and the local cultivators of Dengzhou.
" heavens!"
"Chen brother's army is strong and powerful, we are saved this time!"
"Haha, that's why Chen brother dared to challenge the demon king proactively. He indeed possesses such strength!"
"While it seems that Chen friend lacks top-tier combat power at the moment, he at least has the strength for a fight. We should all join in regardless of our injuries and give him a helping hand. It's not out of the question to kill the demon king!"
The local cultivators of Dengzhou were extremely excited.
As for the ordinary people who were still conscious, when they saw Chen Yun summon thousands of divine soldiers and generals in jade-green luster, they mistook them for celestial troops descending from heaven and all immediately prostrated themselves and bowed their heads!
The demon king watched Chen Yun's lineup with interest, "You do have a considerable number of divine soldiers and generals. Including the previous disciples and spirit beasts, you do have the capability to fight me. However, it's a pity that your side only has one master-level cultivator, and even with you, it's still not possible to be my match!"
"Hahahaha!"
Chen Yun laughed again.
The demon king was taken aback, "Why are you laughing?"
Chen Yun reached out and held it, and a bottomless earthenware pot appeared magically in his palm. "What if I summoned the Lai?"
Hmm?
The Lai?
Li Chunfeng's expression changed!
Du Guangting was so scared that he almost jumped up.
Fa Zhen, Fa Hai, Bagu Monk, and the remaining cultivators turned as pale as ghosts!
No one expected Chen Yun to have such a dangerous being as the Lai under his command!
Any cultivator knows how powerful the Lai is.
This thing can burn the corpse fire of a thousand miles just by being present, without even doing anything!
To put it simply, if not controlled properly, it could easily lead to mass destruction and suffering for living beings!
In the midst of everyone's shock and fear, Chen Yun said nothing and directly raised the bottomless earthenware pot.
In the next moment, an abominable aura surged out from the earthenware pot, spreading everywhere like a tidal wave.
Before anyone could see the figure of the Lai, flames erupted from the depths of the sea below!
From a distance, it looked like a thousand miles of land were being burned!
The sea seemed to have turned into a vast sea of fire at this moment!
Li Chunfeng, Du Guangting, and Yun's younger brother all trembled from head to toe, realizing that Chen Yun was truly about to summon the legendary terrifying being known as the Lai!
Fa Zhen, Fa Hai, Bagu Monk, and others also showed expressions of being on the brink of battle. Compared to the demon king's ferocity, they were more afraid of the Lai.
Even the arrogant and overconfident demon king, in this moment, showed a pale face.
In the midst of everyone's emotional upheaval, a monster emerged from the flames. It was about one zhang in height, with flames bursting from its entire body and golden hair covering its entire body.
As it appeared before everyone, the heavens and earth seemed to tremble subtly.
Next, the sky was filled with thick thunderclouds and the sound of rolling thunder could be heard from time to time.
It seems that the heavens and earth have all felt the presence of a terrifying being and are trying to strike down a storm to erase it.
Finally, the figure of the Lai was fully revealed to everyone. It shook its long golden corpse hair and roared aloud.
At the same time, the flames burning in the sea became even more violent, rising up continuously, and turning into countless waves of fire that filled the sky and earth!
Chen Yun's face remained calm, and he spoke in a clear voice, "Old demon, with this array I have summoned, do you dare to battle it?"
The demon king finally realized the immense threat Chen Yun had brought, and his voice grew solemn, "Brat, I acknowledge your strength. If you seek battle, then I will bring my forces to engage with you!"
Just as he finished speaking, the rolling dark clouds in the sky seemed to transform into a tide of water, constantly pushing forward!
Everyone knew that the demon king was leading his forces to battle, and an awe-inspiring confrontation was about to begin!
