Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 820: Chapter 819: Battle Against the Demon Domain!

Wu Hui and the others’ concession completely solidified the foundation for the Phoenix Sect’s victory in the battle against the Sect of the Battle God.

Regardless of whether they can claim First Place, at the very least, the Phoenix Sect has already advanced into the top three after defeating the Sect of the Battle God.

Next, there will still be two final battles, one against the Demon Domain and the other against One Slash Palace.

The fight between the Demon Domain and One Slash Palace is also fiercely competitive. It is rumored that these two are ranked First and Second among the Top Ten Super Sects.

Over the years, perhaps they have been vying for that elusive First Place, or perhaps friction between humans and Demon Beasts has often sparked small skirmishes between One Slash Palace and the Demon Domain. In those skirmishes, One Slash Palace has emerged victorious far more often than the Demon Domain.

Now, the two sects have finally engaged in an upright battle among their middle-tier forces, naturally unleashing all their techniques to continuous applause from the audience.

The final outcome was still One Slash Palace emerging victorious.

In the last Sect Tournament, One Slash Palace defeated the Demon Domain to claim First Place. Remarkably, they managed to do so again this time!

The Demon Domain fell short but did not suffer significant losses—less than ten people perished. Meanwhile, One Slash Palace lost three or four members, had more than ten critically injured, and sustained dozens of minor injuries.

The strength between the two sides is genuinely neck-and-neck. As the only Demon Beast sect on the Dragon Martial Continent to survive to this day and ascend to the ranks of Super Sects, the prowess of the Demon Domain is undeniable.

It can be said that humanity spans countless powers across the Dragon Martial Continent, each attracting various talents to join their ranks.

However, for the countless Demon Beasts on the Dragon Martial Continent, there is only one sect they can join—the Demon Domain!

From this alone, we can see how abundant the talents from the Demon Beast Clan are that the Demon Domain attracts, far more so than humanity.

Were it not for the innate dullness of Demon Beasts and their inherently violent temperaments, even One Slash Palace might not be able to suppress the Demon Domain.

...

The preliminary results of the final battles are already in.

One Slash Palace and Phoenix Sect each claim a victory!

Next, each sect will still face two battles. The warriors of the Demon Domain were the first to ascend the stage, directly challenging the Phoenix Sect as their target.

Seeing this scene, the members of the Phoenix Sect frowned. Liuyun remarked, ”Damn, what’s with this? Everyone wants to treat the Phoenix Sect as soft targets? Haven’t they noticed how the Sect of the Battle God nearly got wiped out by us earlier?”

”The Demon Domain just lost to One Slash Palace and saw its morale dip. At this moment, they want to pick a fight with us to boost their spirits. It’s something understandable; if it were me, I would probably do the same,” Su Han spoke calmly, feeling no anger.

”These damn Demon Beasts, to put it bluntly, they’re just a bunch of animals. I’ve despised them for a long time. Today, I’ll surely—”

Before Liuyun could finish speaking, he suddenly felt an icy gaze pierce through him.

”Sect Master, what are you...?” Liuyun’s words faltered.

Su Han locked eyes with Liuyun for a moment before speaking, ”Remember this: any life that exists in this world has its own reasoning. In your eyes, they may be animals, but in theirs, you might not even be worthy of being called an animal. At the very least, since we hold no deep grudges against the Demon Domain, I find the term ’animals’ extremely distasteful. Do you understand what I mean?”

”Understood, Sect Master. I was wrong,” Liuyun hurriedly lowered his head.

Seeing his acknowledgement, Su Han then said, ”I’m not blaming you; I’m simply reminding you: never underestimate any life and never look down on anyone. The Demon Beast Clan, whether on the Dragon Martial Continent or under the starry sky, occupies half of the heavens. To speak candidly, the True Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan are also Demon Beasts. Do you consider them animals as well?”

Liuyun fell silent. Su Han’s words struck deeply: True Dragons and Phoenixes are indeed categorized as Demon Beasts, yet why have they become humanity’s revered symbols?

Only because they are exceptionally powerful!

At its core, Liuyun’s earlier words stemmed from a lack of regard for the Demon Beast Clan. Su Han’s remark served as a deliberate wake-up call to prevent Liuyun—and others—from suffering future losses due to arrogance.

”All lives are equal. Don’t act like this again,” Su Han said seriously.

Then, as though recalling something, Su Han suddenly smiled, ”Perhaps, if you spend more time interacting with Demon Beasts, you too might discover their adorable qualities.”

”Adorable qualities? Seriously?”

Hong Chen widened his eyes and said, ”Sect Master, pardon my bluntness, but all I see in these Demon Domain people is bloodlust and hostility—none of the so-called ’adorable’ qualities you’ve mentioned.”

”That’s because you haven’t interacted with them enough,”

Su Han shook his head and countered, ”Demon Beasts are also capable of emotions; they aren’t as heartless as you imagine. The root cause of their enmity with humanity lies with us humans. Do none of you understand this?”

”That... is indeed true.”

Hong Chen sighed and said, ”Humans have always considered Demon Beasts valuable in their entirety. The stronger their Cultivation Base, the more valuable they become. From the very beginning, it was humans who hunted Demon Beasts first. To Demon Beasts, they are truly innocent victims. Thus, when facing humans now, they instinctively feel defensive and cautious, which presents itself as hostility and coldness.”

”You’re absolutely right,”

Su Han nodded. ”The key point is that there are also geniuses among the Demon Beasts. On the Holy Domain’s Strongest Rankings, nearly half of the powerhouses are Demon Beasts. So, never underestimate them.”

”Understood!”

The Phoenix Sect members had learned another valuable lesson and immediately nodded in agreement.

Since the Demon Domain had selected the Phoenix Sect as their opponent, while the Phoenix Sect accepted the challenge, it was clear that the Sect of the Battle God’s opponent would naturally be One Slash Palace.

As the Sect of the Battle God’s representative for this tournament, Wu Hui truly felt immense pressure.

Having just escaped the grasp of the Phoenix Sect, they now found themselves facing One Slash Palace.

Without a doubt, facing One Slash Palace is an entirely different matter compared to facing the Phoenix Sect.

When confronted by the Phoenix Sect earlier, before the outcome was decided, Wu Hui had felt quite confident in defeating them. Although the final result was disappointing, at least he could maintain an optimistic outlook at the start.

But now, faced with One Slash Palace, Wu Hui found himself utterly lost on how to spell the word ’confidence.’

His frustration was only natural—anyone facing One Slash Palace would likely feel the same way.

Especially after seeing the eerie smile flash across Nangong Yu’s stunningly beautiful face, Wu Hui even felt an urge to burst into tears.
