Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 580: All Parties Gather

The Purple Jade warship maintained supersonic flight. Three days later, it crossed the borders of Ji State.

North of Ji State lay Yuezhou. The entrance to Peach Blossom Paradise was located at the border between the two states, a place known as Peach Blossom Pool.

Soon, Su Han laid eyes on Peach Blossom Pool. The pool was a thousand meters wide. Its deep, clear turquoise waters reflected the verdant mountains, creating a picturesque and exceptionally enchanting scene. Many peach trees were planted around the pool. Although it wasn’t the season for peach blossoms, the water—brimming with Spiritual Energy—nourished the trees. As a result, blossoms bloomed in their full glory, creating a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

Peach Blossom Pool was famous because of Peach Blossom Paradise. Even when the paradise was not open, many people would still visit daily to pick flowers and drink from its waters. However, with the imminent opening of Peach Blossom Paradise, the five major Daozhou had sealed off the area. Naturally, no one else dared to set foot here.

"So this is Peach Blossom Pool? This water actually contains such dense Spiritual Energy that it’s nearly become Spiritual Liquid! These peach trees are also extraordinary—they’re all Dao medicines. A single Peach Blossom is comparable to a stalk of Spiritual Medicine!"

"What a rich floral fragrance! This aroma even calms the mind and sharpens focus. I feel like my head has instantly cleared."

"This scenery is truly a feast for the eyes. It is worthy of being called an earthly paradise!"

Many people were visiting Peach Blossom Pool for the first time. Upon encountering such beautiful scenery, they couldn’t help but sigh in unending admiration.

"Nine Heavens Eye, open!"

Su Han activated his Nine Heavens Eye, peering beyond the surface to the essence of things. The feng shui of this area was excellent. The surrounding mountains formed a funnel, gathering all the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth into this single location. Over time, the dense Spiritual Energy accumulated, forming the pool and nourishing these peach trees, which were comparable to Dao medicine. However, this grand Feng Shui formation was influenced by the Power of Space-Time, clearly a result of Peach Blossom Paradise.

The creative power of nature was truly breathtaking!

WHOOSH!

While everyone was captivated by the beauty of Peach Blossom Pool, a piercing cry suddenly rang out from the distance. It was followed swiftly by a wave of heat, as if a sea of fire was approaching.

Su Han looked up to see a giant flaming bird flying rapidly closer. Engulfed in roaring flames, the bird was enormous—a thousand meters in size. Its overwhelming Demon Qi radiated an intense, oppressive aura, but what was most astonishing was the saintly might that emanated from it.

Clearly, this was a Demon Saint!

The Earth Demon Holy Sect of Yuezhou!

Su Han had already learned about the Holy-Level forces of the five nearby Daozhou from Li Mingliang, so he recognized them at a glance. Yuezhou was a vast and sparsely populated land with numerous beasts. A powerful Demon Saint had established a sect there, naming it the Earth Demon Holy Sect.

The giant flaming bird before them was the Flaming Bird Demon Saint of the Earth Demon Holy Sect. On its broad back stood several powerful experts of the Demon Race, all exuding dense Demon Qi.

Su Han paid no mind to the other Demon Race experts; instead, his gaze fell upon a fiery red figure.

This was a woman in a red feathered robe, appearing to be around twenty years old. She had skin fairer than frost and snow, and her long hair was made of fire, burning with intense heat. However, this woman was not human; she had a pair of huge wings and sharp talons, making her a Semi-Demon.

The Crimson Holy Maiden!

Recalling Li Mingliang’s introduction, Su Han deduced this was the Holy Maiden of the Earth Demon Holy Sect. It was said that she possessed a partial Vermilion Bird Bloodline, controlled the Vermilion Bird Flames, and was extremely powerful. She was also a prodigy on the Hidden Dragon List.

Peach Blossom Pool was located on the border between Ji State and Yuezhou, so the people from the Zi Mansion Holy Land and the Earth Demon Holy Sect had arrived the quickest.

"Looks like we’re not too late!"

A voice as loud as thunder rang out as the ground began to shake with deafening thuds. To everyone’s amazement, a hundred-meter-tall giant came racing from the distance, followed by a group of smaller giants. Each of them was muscular and massive, radiating an intense pressure.

"The people from the Dragon Elephant Holy Sect have arrived!"

The Zi Mansion Saint Heir’s gaze grew solemn as he looked toward the group of smaller giants.

This was a Holy-Level force from Han State known for its Body Refiners. Their inherited Cultivation Technique, the Dragon Elephant Herculean Strength Technique, could grant them the power of a dragon-elephant, making their Physical Bodies incredibly strong. Although they couldn’t compare to those with Special Physiques, they had the advantage of being able to mass-produce powerful warriors. Practically anyone with a bit of innate talent could use it to develop a formidable Physical Body.

Soon, the hundred-meter giant arrived at the edge of Peach Blossom Pool. His massive stature made the surrounding hills look diminutive. This giant was the lead elder of the Dragon Elephant Holy Sect, known as the Primal Elephant Saint. He was immensely powerful, and his Physical Body was unrivaled.

Su Han gauged his own power for a moment. He realized that even with his Great Accomplished Holy Body combined with his Great Luo Golden Body, he was only barely comparable to the Primal Elephant Saint. This just went to show how powerful the Saint’s Physical Body truly was.

However, the Primal Elephant Saint wasn’t his target. His gaze passed over the Saint and landed on a smaller giant behind him. This smaller giant was still ten meters tall, with bronze skin that shone with a metallic luster, as if he were made not of flesh and blood, but of metal.

This was the Dragon Elephant Saint Heir. He possessed the strength of nine bulls and two tigers—an immense, boundless power capable of moving mountains and splitting the earth. His left hand even contained an innate Saint Bone that, once unsealed, could unleash incredible power.

"A bunch of simple-minded brutes!"

An arrogant voice suddenly rang out, seemingly mocking the Dragon Elephant Holy Sect. Space ripped open, and a beam of white Holy Light flew out, filled with a divine and pure aura. Within the Holy Light was a group of women all dressed in white, creating a strikingly beautiful scene.

"The people from the Jade Purity Holy Land have arrived. It’s said they don’t get along with the Dragon Elephant Holy Sect. It seems the rumors are true," someone murmured, not daring to speak too loudly.

These women in white were all from the Jade Purity Holy Land, which bordered Han State, where the Dragon Elephant Holy Sect was located. The two sides frequently had disputes and were in constant conflict. The cultivation path of the Jade Purity Holy Land was the polar opposite of the Dragon Elephant Holy Sect’s. While the Dragon Elephant Holy Sect focused on Body Refinement, the Jade Purity Holy Land specialized in cultivating the spirit and was renowned for its Illusion Techniques, which were nearly impossible to defend against. For this very reason, the two sides couldn’t stand the sight of each other and would clash whenever they met.

The lead elder of the Jade Purity Holy Land was a woman known as the Yuhua Female Saint. She was a middle-aged woman with a beauty mark at the center of her forehead, and she carried herself with the noble and elegant demeanor of a distinguished lady. The mocking voice had come from her.

Su Han’s gaze swept past the Yuhua Female Saint and landed on a young girl behind her whose eyes were covered with a white silk blindfold. This was the Jade Purity Holy Maiden. She was rumored to possess a pair of spirit eyes and innately powerful spiritual power, allowing her to manipulate the hearts of others. Thus, she normally kept them sealed with the blindfold. If she were to remove it, she would unleash a terrifying power.

"Hmph! What does a crone like you know!" the Primal Elephant Saint snorted, retorting to the Yuhua Female Saint without holding back.

At this point, the forces from four of the great Daozhou had arrived. Only the Five Ghosts Demon Cult from Yun Province had yet to appear.
