The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 692: Chapter 692: Giant Demon King

The red giant elephant fell, and the Silver Fox led the demon beasts over its body, advancing into the depths of Ferocious Mountain.

Roar!!

At that moment, several Demon Kings emerged, including the Purple Cloud Mink among them.

There were five Demon Kings in total, each exuding a presence not weaker than the red giant elephant. Even more, two of them radiated a presence more powerful than the red giant elephant.

The Silver Fox immediately halted, its eyes filled with caution as it looked at the five Demon Kings. The surrounding demon beasts retreated in fear, and if not for the Silver Fox being there, they would have scattered and fled.

The Silver Fox emitted beast language from its mouth, trying to persuade these Demon Kings anew. However, like the red giant elephant, the Demon Kings in the depths of Ferocious Mountain weren’t easily swayed, and they harbored significant hostility toward the Silver Fox.

Among the five Demon Kings, the Purple Cloud Mink let out a series of low growls. Despite its delicate size, it flew in the air with a startling aura.

Seeing its persuasion efforts fail, a hint of severity flash in the eyes of the Silver Fox, and subsequently, a strange light emerged from its forehead.

This light was a mark. Under the illumination of the light, it wasn’t quite clear, but to the demon beasts, this mark was tremendously shocking.

Only demon beasts understand the origin of this mark; it is a mark that only the successor of the Demon Saint can possess. It signifies that the Silver Fox has been to the Demon Clan’s Holy Land, been recognized by the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, and has qualified to inherit the status of the Demon Saint.

Even though the Silver Fox is not yet a Demon Saint, it is regarded as one of the successors and holds a very high status within the Demon Clan.

Upon seeing this mark, three of the five Demon Kings slightly changed their expressions. However, the Purple Cloud Mink and another flying beast Demon King, always harbored hostility towards the Silver Fox.

Even possessing the inheritance mark of the Demon Saint, ultimately not being the Demon Saint, and the fact that this Silver Fox was just a separate entity, was not enough to submit them.

The Silver Fox stared at the Purple Cloud Mink and the bird Demon King, with killing intent in its eyes. But just as it was about to act impulsively, an extremely ancient sounding roar echoed from the deepest part of Ferocious Mountain.

This roar seemed as if it came from an endless length of time ago, the sound was not resonant, but it shook one’s soul.

Fang Lin and others in the cave also heard this ancient roar and were all surprised.

“What kind of demon beast is it that roars and makes me want to kneel in worship?.” exclaimed Wang Erdan, patting his chest in horror.

Not only him, but everyone else also felt the same way, except for Fang Lin who only sensed intense severity permeating the beast roar.

“Could it be the terrifying demon beast hidden in this Ferocious Mountain?” Mei Yingxue frowned, while they hid in the cave, they had no idea what was happening outside.

Fang Lin quietly asked Old Dried Corpse, “Whose roar is it?”

The Old Dried Corpse was silent for a moment before he replied, “Here, there’s an old turtle that’s reached the Six Transformations realm and has little life left.”

Hearing this, an astonished expression crossed Fang Lin’s face. There was a Six Transformations realm ancient turtle in this Ferocious Mountain?

A Fifth Transformations demon beast is a Demon King, and a Six Transformations demon beast is even more terrifying. It is known as a Giant Demon King.

Fang Lin had always thought that the strongest beast in the Hundred Beast Mountain would be a Demon King. He never imagined that a Giant Demon King actually existed here.

“Not much life left, is it about to die soon?” Fang Lin promptly asked.

The Old Dried Corpse explained, “While it doesn’t have much time left, ancient turtles are inherently long-lived. Compared to its lifespan, it indeed doesn’t have much time left. It probably has five to six hundred years left before it will die.”

Fang Lin’s mouth twitched. Is it going to die in five or six hundred years? Are you teasing me? This is not much time left?

However, on second thought, the turtle demons are known for their longevity. They can easily live up to thousands of years.

And a Six Transformations realm turtle demon who has stepped into the realm of a Giant Demon King can naturally live up to tens of thousands of years or more.

Compared to its long lifespan, five to six hundred years indeed isn’t that much, so it could be considered to have limited life left.

“Senior, do you know what’s happening outside?” Fang Lin asked again.

The Old Dried Corpse spoke with a slightly heavy tone, “That Silver Fox has led an external group of demon beasts in, and is confronting several Demon Kings here. It looks like a conflict is about to break out, but now that the turtle demon has spoken, I’m afraid a fight is unlikely.”

Meanwhile, outside in the Ferocious Mountain, as the turtle demon roared, the Silver Fox immediately retracted its murderous intent, and the few Demon Kings showed expressions of awe, releasing respectful sounds towards the depths of the Ferocious Mountain.

The Silver Fox also let out a low growl. However, its eyes flickered with uncertainty, as if it was brewing some kind of plan.

A successor to the Demon Saint, and an ancient turtle with a long life, were currently conversing in beast language.

However, even the demon beasts and Demon Kings present couldn’t hear what they were talking about. Their conversation was restricted by some power, and only the two of them could hear each other.

After a while, a joyful expression appeared on the Silver Fox’s face. Its negotiation with the turtle demon was going smoothly. @@novelbin@@

The turtle demon didn’t have much time left, with only a few hundred years of its life remaining. With its level, ordinary heavenly materials and earthly treasures already couldn’t help prolong its life anymore.

Only by acquiring the Sacred Liquid dropped from the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, could it gain more life time.

The bargaining chip the Silver Fox used in its negotiation with the turtle demon was precisely this Sacred Liquid condensed by the Sacred Tree.

The Silver Fox told the turtle demon that as long as it helped itself become a Demon Saint, it could obtain the Sacred Liquid for the turtle demon, thus prolonging its life.

For the turtle demon, it was quite risky to get involved in the succession dispute of the Demon Saint. But it only had a few hundred years to live. Instead of waiting here to die, it was better to gamble with the Silver Fox, help it become a Demon Saint, and gain a real chance at survival.

Even though the turtle demon didn’t fully believe what the Silver Fox had said, and kept a certain amount of scepticism. The Sacred Liquid was too important for it. Even though it knew that once it helped the Silver Fox, it might walk a road of no return, the turtle demon had no choice but to brace itself for the storm.

The turtle demon let out another roar, this time directed at the demon beasts of Ferocious Mountain.

Hearing the turtle demon’s voice, the deep-hidden demon beasts were all shocked because the turtle demon had chosen to ally with the Silver Fox. The Silver Fox was to command all the demon beasts within and outside the Ferocious Mountain, including all the Demon Kings. They all had to obey the orders and directions of the Silver Fox.

Immediately, several Demon Kings expressed their doubts, but the turtle demon was firm and implicitly exuded an air of dignity, not tolerating any doubt from the Demon Kings.

“It’s not good! This mountain is really going to be in chaos.” In the cave, Fang Lin suddenly heard the voice of the Old Dried Corpse, a hint of worry in his tone.
