Chapter 231: The Appearance of the Extraterritorial Demon

. Chaos and panic grip the Mingzhong Civilization.

Unaware of what had happened, they felt a sense of unprovoked terror descending, a sense of inexplicable panic, as if a monstrous flood were sweeping across the world.

While the Earthly Immortal-level Extraterritorial Demon lacked reason, it was a true immortal-level being. Even without employing magical powers, its own imposing presence was enough to make all beings in the world tremble in fear.

This was the inherent advantage that immortals possess over mortals.

Ah Qing, Daozu’s previously transformed mount, was also of this level, but it deliberately restrained its aura, intent on protecting Daozu’s storage ring. Otherwise, the aura it released alone would be enough to send the people of Mingzhong World into despair.

A being of this caliber would bring catastrophic disaster to any world, leaving no resistance.

In contrast, the Jiuzhou world was far superior, possessing a rich heritage, capable of slaying dozens of Extraterritorial Demons over the course of nine thousand years.

Xiang Gu submitted before the envoy of the higher civilization, requesting that the Extraterritorial Demon bring him to the higher civilization.

Compared to the Duye envoy, this messenger’s appearance was truly ugly and strange. No, no, no, I couldn’t think that. Perhaps this was the unique aesthetic of a higher civilization, something I needed to adapt to.

“Respected messenger, please…” Xiang Gu hadn’t finished his words when he saw the iron fist approaching.

His final sight was the iron fist that filled his entire field of vision.

A cultivator in the Fusion Stage was smashed into a bloody mist by the Outer Realm Demon, leaving not even a corpse.

The appearance of this Outer Realm Demon was difficult to describe.

It resembled a human, n*ked and hairless, two or three times larger than an average human. It had four arms, each holding a heavy object. Its face was contorted, its expression shifting erratically, alternately rage, shame, and dejection.

Xiang Gu had called upon the Outer Realm Demon in the suburbs.

“What the hell is this? A hybrid of human and beast?”

The head of national defense, catching sight of the Outer Realm Demon through satellite footage, frowned.

This thing was truly bizarre. It appeared suddenly, yet it struck fear in him from two thousand kilometers away.

It was this monster that struck fear into the hearts of all humanity.

It didn’t make sense.

His years of experience commanding battles told him that this monster posed a far greater threat than even a ferocious beast; it was bound to threaten the world.

The head of defense gave the order.

“92nd Mech Division, move out.” The 92nd Mech Division was closest to the Outer Demon, right at its feet.

To combat the beast, the world of the bells was awash with weapons. Within the interstices of buildings, in hollowed-out mountains, in lakes, and underground—except for the sky, where levitation was prohibitively expensive—organized armed forces could be found everywhere.

The people of this world were prepared to become soldiers, ready to take up arms and slay the beasts whenever needed.

The battle-hardened army was ready for action, with unmanned mechs rising from underground to the surface in less than half a minute!

The mech divisions were deployed by the head of defense. He gave the order, and the mechs acted autonomously, without the need for remote control by soldiers.

The mechs wielded two radiant blades. Two strikes from each were enough to sever the ferocious beast in half, but they had no effect on the Outer Demon; not even a scratch remained.

“Fire the sun-like bombs and the annihilation cannons.” The defense chief acted decisively, deploying their best weapons.

“Using these two weapons in the suburbs will kill all nearby residents!” his subordinates said anxiously. Even if they could kill the monster, they would still be tried in a military court.

The defense chief stared at the big screen, ignoring his subordinates’ persuasion. He had absolute command over the military.

If they didn’t use these weapons now, would they have to wait until the monster reached the city and started a killing spree?

The sun-like bombs were fired, and the temperature, which was over 100 million degrees Celsius, comparable to the core of the sun, soared into the sky, melting everything.

The annihilation cannons were fired, and with the explosion point as the center, the surrounding matter was reduced to an invisible atomic state.

“Report, there are signs of activity!”

The presence of the annihilation cannons meant that there was not even a trace of smoke after the explosion, and the situation of the extraterritorial demon could be confirmed with the n*ked eye.

The monster’s skin was not even broken!

The defense chief raged, “Pull all the nearby yang-like bombs and annihilation cannons over here and detonate them all! I refuse to believe this thing won’t be destroyed!”

Since this thing was more dangerous than a ferocious beast, two weapons that didn’t work against ferocious beasts certainly wouldn’t work against it either. But the defense chief was afraid.

Only continuous firepower could quell his fear.

The defense chief gritted his teeth, “Also, contact the President and ask for help from the Jiuzhou world.”

He reassured himself that the yang-like bombs and annihilation cannons were effective, and asking for help from Jiuzhou was just a precaution.

These attacks had no effect on the extraterritorial demon, but it infuriated it. Sensing the satellite, it soared into the sky, intending to destroy the electronic eye and wreak havoc in nearby cities.

“Get down! You’re destroying something this expensive!” Jiang Li appeared and kicked the frantic extraterritorial demon down. The ground cracked like glass, triggering a magnitude 12 earthquake.

Satellites developed in a world where gravity increases with distance from the ground are astronomically expensive.

“Kyushu Human Emperor!” The defense chief recognized Jiang Li.

“Look at this, the city was unaffected by the fighting, and there were no casualties.” The subordinate cut the screen to the nearest city, “It seems something is blocking it. Even the earthquake didn’t reach the city.”

…

“Your army is ruthless, but the decision you made is not wrong. Taking action is better than sitting and waiting to die.” Bai Hongtu stood at the junction of the city and the suburbs, setting up a large formation to block the aftermath of the high temperature.

Bai Hongtu agreed with the defense chief’s approach – even if you know you can’t win, you still have to take action.

When the Extraterritorial Demon first descended on Jiuzhou, the Jiuzhou cultivators thought the same thing. No matter whether you can win or not, don’t be afraid, just take action first.

Unlike Mingzhong’s world, Jiuzhou cultivators can really kill the Extraterritorial Demon if they are determined.

“Is this the Extraterritorial Demon?” Mingzhong was shocked. He had heard of the Extraterritorial Demon’s name a long time ago, but today he saw what it looked like.

He used his presidential authority to view the satellite footage.

It looked quite random.

Bai Hongtu explained, “Demons come in all shapes and sizes. I’ve even seen one with four arms and four legs, crawling on the ground like a spider. Grandmaster Changcun said that extraterritorial demons feed on the negative emotions of living beings. Since birth, demons have absorbed these, resulting in their ugly appearance, confused thoughts, and lack of rationality.”

Ming Zhong also witnessed an extraterritorial demon kill a person.

Bai Hongtu sneered, “That was Xiang Gu. He got it easy.”

The moment the extraterritorial demon appeared, he released his spiritual sense and saw both Xiang Gu and the extraterritorial demon.

Ming Zhong worried, “Can Mr. Jiang really defeat the extraterritorial demon?”

Although Ming Zhong had seen Jiang Li fight the Daozu immortal corpse and knew Jiang Li’s strength, he believed the extraterritorial demon was equally powerful, and he couldn’t tell which was stronger.

“What you should be considering is whether the extraterritorial demons could attack Jiang Li.” After

Jiang Li appeared, the inexplicable fear disappeared. The people in the city noticed the movement in the suburbs. Even if they didn’t go there in person, they could see the scene at the center of the battlefield through telescopes and high-magnification cameras. Some even wanted to hack the satellites.

Bai Hongtu kindly asked, “Do you want me to set up a large formation to block the view?”

“No, the impact caused by the extraterritorial demons was too great, and the news can’t be blocked. This is a good opportunity to announce it to the world of Jiuzhou.”

Ming Zhong forcibly transferred the satellite images to all optical computers, allowing people around the world to see what exactly happened.
