Huo Ming was already a late-stage mid-grade Demon Emperor, and he was still growing stronger.
However, Skyburn was only an early-stage mid-grade Demon Emperor. There was still a gap of two stages between them.
In terms of strength, Huo Ming should have a high chance of winning.
However, when Huo Ming faced Skyburn, it was a one-sided battle.
The moment Huo Ming clashed with Skyburn, he was immediately attacked by Skyburn's ferocious attacks. He was unable to counterattack and could only defend himself. Soon, he was covered in wounds from Skyburn's sword.
Skyburn took advantage of Huo Ming's injuries to deliver a fatal blow.
"Your Fire Hawk Clan is merely a lowly clan. How dare you challenge this prince? You don't even know how to spell the word 'death'!" Skyburn shouted disdainfully as he thrust his Feathery Peng Sword at Huo Ming's throat.
Sky Peng Extreme Speed was an innate demon ability of the Sky Peng Clan. It could increase one's speed by several times. Even ordinary Wind Realm Demon Emperors could not compare to it.
This was one of the reasons why Skyburn was able to injure Huo Ming so easily.
Huo Ming tried his best to dodge. He even spat out Golden Whirlpool Flame.
However, Skyburn seemed to have entered the third level of the Fire Domain and absorbed Golden Whirlpool Flame. Thus, he was not afraid of Golden Whirlpool Flame.
Just as Huo Ming was about to be killed by the sword, a halberd interfered in time and knocked the Feathery Peng Sword away.
Skyburn quickly retreated. Then, he shouted at Yao Yue, who had suddenly charged over, "You came just in time. Today, I will devour you and take your phoenix blood!"
After saying that, his body transformed into numerous afterimages. The Feathery Peng Sword in his hand stabbed out like raindrops.
Skyburn's attacks were extraordinary. In an instant, he stabbed out 365 times. It was as if he wanted to turn Fangtian into a hornet's nest.
Yao Yue had no choice but to become serious when faced with Skyburn's attacks.
The Divine Phoenix Halberd in his hand spun like a whirlwind, destroying the sword lights. At the same time, he increased the power of his counterattack. A Phoenix figure broke through the layers of obstacles and charged at Skyburn.
Clang! Clang!
Many attacks crisscrossed together, and a series of ear-piercing sounds rang out.
Yao Yue possessed the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan, and her innate talent was almost fully awakened. No matter what, she was much stronger than the Tian Peng Clan.
Only the real Kun Peng Heavenly Son of the Kun Peng Race would be able to challenge him directly!
After exchanging blows, Tian Fen immediately felt the immense pressure that Yao Yue was exerting on him. He knew that Yao Yue's strength was on par with his. No, Yao Yue was much stronger than him!
"Damn it, how can he be so powerful!" Tian Fen cursed in his heart.
In the next moment, Sky Blaze no longer held back and directly transformed, wanting to make the final strike!
Heavenly Roc Extreme Speed, Dragon Devouring Technique!
The Heavenly Incinerate transformed into the true form of the Heavenly Peng. Its gigantic Peng body soared into the nine heavens. Its Peng claws furiously clawed at the firmament. It was determined to devour Yao Yue!
"If it's the Kun Peng Clan's Dragon Devouring Technique, then it's more like it. Your Tian Peng Clan is still far from it!"
Yao Yue coldly snorted and immediately transformed into a Phoenix. She planned to use the Demon Clan's method to take down Tian Fen!
A mighty and dazzling Phoenix soared into the sky. Its terrifying demonic aura was awe-inspiring. The raging bronze flames were extremely frightening. Anything that came into contact with it would be completely incinerated into ashes!
The Phoenix and the Peng clashed together and began to kill each other in mid-air.
Within the same level, there were not many top-notch Demon Beasts that could stand shoulder to shoulder with a Phoenix. Tian Fen's Dragon Devouring Technique was not complete, so he was directly suppressed and killed by Yao Yue!
The power of the bronze flames made him suffer unspeakably, causing him to repeatedly scream in pain.
At the same time, Tian Chen, who was fighting Xiao Liuzi, heard Tian Fen's scream and immediately looked in his direction.
Tian Chen frowned and shouted, "Son of Heaven Phoenix!" He shook off Xiao Liuzi and grabbed at Yao Yue angrily.
He definitely did not want his nephew to die in front of him. At the same time, he wanted to obtain the blood of the Phoenix from Yao Yue!
"Old bastard, your opponent is me. You can't escape!"
Xiao Liuzi became more and more courageous as he fought. After he shouted, he suddenly transformed into three hundred and sixty-five doppelgangers!
This was the Spirit Monkey Doppelganger Technique. It was the innate ability of the Spirit Monkeys!
In an instant, three hundred and sixty-five Six Ear Monkeys surrounded Tian Chen and attacked him.
However, Tian Chen was determined to get rid of Xiao Liuzi. He transformed into his true form and increased the speed of the Heavenly Peng to its maximum, chasing after Yao Yue.
Yao Yue also sensed the terrifying aura coming at him and increased the power of his attacks!
He used his phoenix feather to continuously kill Tian Fen, and the bronze flame had already begun to spread above Tian Fen, causing Tian Fen's body to truly be burned.
The extreme speed of Tian Fen's Heavenly Peng was simply unable to compare with the speed of Yao Yue's Phoenix. His two claws grabbed onto Tian Fen's body as his Phoenix beak continuously pecked at Tian Fen's head.
"How dare you!"
Tian Chen was about to arrive, but when he saw Yao Yue about to swallow Blazing Sky's demon core, his anger reached its peak.
He continuously spat out powerful flames, hoping to force Yao Yue to let go of Tian Fen.
However, Yao Yue was determined to kill Tian Fen. He did not care about Tian Chen's attacks and continued to peck at Tian Fen.
Tian Fen struggled to escape but he could not change his fate of having his Demon Core eaten by Yao Yue!
Just like that, the third prince of the Heavenly Peng Empire was killed by the Phoenix's Son of Heaven!
When Tian Chen's attacks landed on Yao Yue, they only managed to send Yao Yue flying. Tian Chen's flames did not do much damage to Yao Yue.
No matter what, Yao Yue had the body of a Phoenix. He was not afraid of fire attacks. Moreover, he had the Bronze Pearl, which could suppress low-grade flames.
Yao Yue was injured, but his Nirvana Art was indeed worthy of being called the Undying Demon Art. In just a few blinks of an eye, his injuries were healed.
Moreover, he had just devoured Tian Fen's Demon Core and bloodline, causing his strength to increase even further.
Tian Chen caught Tian Fen's body and roared, "How dare you kill a prince of my Tian Peng Clan? You're really something. My Tian Peng Clan will kill all of you!"
After saying that, Tian Chen grabbed Tian Fen's body and fled.
He had already seen the situation clearly. A few of the Demon Emperors they had brought with them had already died. He could not kill the Six-eared Macaque even if he stayed behind, so he might as well conserve his strength and return to the Heavenly Peng Race first.
Two other Demon Emperors tried to flee as well, but Xiao Liuzi and Yao Yue did not allow them to escape. They chased after them and killed them all.
The Heavenly Peng Race had brought a total of eight Demon Emperors, and almost all of them had died. This was a great loss.
Some of the Demonic Beasts in the vicinity had been frightened by the battle between Emperor Level experts. They had shrunk back into their caves and didn't dare to move!
The battle was too terrifying. It was not something low-level Demon Emperors like them could understand.
After the battle ended, Yao Yue immediately collected the Demon Emperors' corpses.
These were rare Demon Emperors. Even if they were auctioned at the Cangxuan Palace, they could fetch a sky-high price.
Yao Yue said to the other Demon Emperors, "Alright, all of you rest here. I'll go look for the Yuan Vein."
In this battle, Hu Mei Niang, Feng Qianqian, Xiao Hei, Qing Ming, and the Green Wing Bat Emperor had all used their special abilities.
But the ones who could kill their opponents the fastest were Feng Qianqian and Xiao Hei.
Feng Qianqian was one of the top geniuses of the Heavenly Wind Eagle Race. Her battle prowess was not to be underestimated.
Xiao Hei's Death Qi was even more powerful. Even Demon Emperors who were higher ranked than him might not be able to withstand the Death Qi.
As for Hu Mei Niang, her battle prowess was slightly weaker. After all, the Demon Fox Race was not good at fighting, but cunning. They were good at baiting their opponents.
But the Demon Emperor that Hu Mei Niang had faced was stronger than her. She was unable to kill her opponent, but her opponent was also unable to do anything to her.
As for Qing Ming, he was also lacking in strength. He had just become a low-grade Demon Emperor not long ago. The fact that he could heavily injure his opponent with his Herculean Bull Skill was enough to prove that he was extraordinary as a descendant of the royal family.
The Green Wing Bat Emperor's strength was not bad, but he was the most injured among the Demon Emperors.
The main reason was that the Demon Emperor that he was fighting belonged to the Fire Realm's Origin Energy. It just so happened to restrain his Wood Realm's Origin Energy, causing him to be unable to use his Origin Energy. As a result, he was almost defeated.
In short, the Demon Emperors that followed Yao Yue, other than Huo Ming's Origin Energy which was slightly weaker, the other Demon Emperors were all extremely powerful.
Their future prospects were definitely very vast and boundless.
Yao Yue had the Nirvana Art and recovered his injuries the fastest. Moreover, the energy that he consumed was negligible.
No matter what, he possessed nine different types of Realm Essence Energy, so his foundation and resources were definitely extremely terrifying!
Yao Yue began to size up the main mountains in the Fire Maple Forest. He could determine that there was a large Origin Energy Vein under the Fire Maple Forest.
There were many places in the Extreme Demon Ridge that had not been excavated. This Fire Maple Forest was one of them.
After Yao Yue used the Origin Seeking Technique to search for a while, he determined an entrance and began to dig from there.
With his current Demon Emperor level digging speed, it was naturally very fast.
Not long after, Yao Yue saw some low-grade Fire Origin Stones. He immediately cried out in joy, "There really is an Origin Energy Vein. That's great!"
No one would complain about having too many Origin Stones. Although Yao Yue had a lot of them, he was no exception.
If he wanted to establish a faction, he needed enough Origin Stones for his subordinates to cultivate. Otherwise, who would be willing to risk their lives for him?
After confirming that there was an Origin Energy Vein here, Yao Yue immediately asked Xiao Liuzi, Xiao Hei, and Feng Qianqian to help him excavate the Origin Energy Vein.
After some digging, Yao Yue obtained a total of seven to eight hundred low-grade Fire Origin Stones and nearly a hundred mid-grade Fire Origin Stones.
Such a harvest was, of course, very good. Yao Yue was grinning from ear to ear.
