Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2977: Chapter 65: Supreme! (Part 2)

He continued, ”But now, there’s been a major issue on my end and I’ve suffered a huge loss. The Supreme certainly won’t stand idly by and will definitely send other Great Commanders to take charge. Additionally, whether for the sake of the Demonic Clan’s face or to turn around the losing battle, we Demonic Clan will surely find a way to teach the Dongxia Divine Dynasty a painful lesson next.”

”The Supreme...” Wang Ying Xuan’s expression was extremely grave.

Previously, she had also heard Marshal Ji mention that those powerful figures of the Demonic Clan called themselves ”Great Commanders,” but there must be even stronger individuals above them to keep them in check. Otherwise, with the Demonic Clan’s extremely self-interested and power-hungry nature, those Great Commanders, each controlling different Sacred Domains, would have long started fighting each other over their mutual disdain.

Rather than as it is now, where no matter how humans incite discord among them, they always maintain a delicate balance.

However, the higher-ranking entities above the Great Commanders of the Demonic Clan have always been mysterious and have never shown their faces, so guessing is just guessing, and the humans have never had conclusive evidence.

No one expected that they actually heard definite news from the Spirit Remnant of the old devil of destruction this time.

Supreme!?

Is this the true boss behind the Demonic Clan?

For a moment, the giants present all felt a bit frightened, and the face of the Frost Queen also became very stern.

Is the so-called Supreme Level Eighteen, or... Level Nineteen?

”Have you seen the Supreme?” Wang Ying Xuan asked in a deep voice.

”I’ve seen a few projections, as well as his clan’s trusted aide army,” the old devil of destruction answered truthfully, ”To be honest, just the projection of the Supreme descending, I feel I may not be a match for it.”

Level Nineteen!

The Frost Queen’s heart trembled.

If truly facing such a formidable enemy, with her martial prowess, how many moves could she withstand?

”I don’t believe it, you must be lying,” Wang Licui sneered, looking incredulous, ”If your Demonic Clan truly has some Supreme, why not personally lead your Great Commanders to form an army group and easily choose a path to crush our Sacred Domain?”

”This... I’m not well-acquainted with the Supreme.” Upon hearing this question, the old devil of destruction hesitated for a moment, thought for a while, and then said solemnly, ”After all, I am only a hundred thousand years old, still quite young.”

A hundred thousand years, still young?

Wang Licui and Wang Ying Xuan couldn’t help but widen their eyes, displaying expressions of ”what nonsense are you talking about”.

However, the old devil of destruction was not speaking nonsense.

Whether a hundred thousand years is much or little depends on who you compare it to.

High-ranking demons are a race with a high degree of evolution in both body and divine soul. Within the same level, their lifespan often surpasses that of the human race by a significant margin.

It is said that a Demon Lord living fifty or sixty thousand years is quite normal. If compared to a Level Seventeen Great Commander demon, they often live longer than a Taoist Master. It might not be guaranteed they can live past two hundred thousand years, but it’s very likely to be quite close.

The old devil of destruction, being only a hundred thousand years old and with about half of his lifespan remaining, naturally didn’t want to die just like that.

Thinking it over, the old devil of destruction finally revealed the originally hidden secret of the Demonic Clan: ”However, I vaguely heard the previous Great Commander of our Extinction Department mention that the Supreme cannot easily leave the forbidden area; otherwise, it would attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao, and the price to pay is substantial. Therefore, even if there is a matter, it usually only sends a projection and rarely acts directly.”

”Additionally, the territory of the Demonic Clan is too vast, with many Great Commander-level demons. Each Great Commander’s department has its own territory, its own demonic army, so naturally, they all have their own vested interests.”

”Because of this, although we Great Commanders fear the Supreme, it’s normal to pretend to comply while acting contrary when it involves significant personal interests.”

”In other words, the central control is lacking, with various warlords following orders only nominally,” Wang Ying Xuan quickly analyzed and summarized, ”In this way, it seems somewhat reasonable.”

It’s not hard to understand why the Demonic Clan would be in this situation either.

After all, the Great Commanders of the Demonic Clan wield such immense power.

Take the Destroyer Devil Territory as an example: as long as the Supreme does not issue decrees, the entire Destroyer Devil Territory is essentially a one-man show under the Great Commander Apocalypse, and the existence of the Supreme is known only to high-level figures like Great Commander Apocalypse, with orders only reaching the level of Great Commanders, while lower demons are only aware of Apocalypse and not the Supreme.

This situation is akin to the feudal system of vassal states, being stable but also leading to inadequate central control over local areas, where regional fragmentation naturally worsens over time.

If it weren’t for the strength of the higher-ups in the Demonic Clan being sufficiently powerful and inherently threatening to these Great Commanders, this system might have crumbled long ago.

Understanding this, Wang Ying Xuan no longer fixated on this point and instead turned to the Frost Queen, asking, ”Queen sister, do you know if there are any Level Nineteen powerhouses in this world?”

The Frost Queen looked heavy-hearted: ”Reaching Level Seventeen means having mastered a personal Dao. Theoretically, to break through to Level Nineteen, one must detach from the Great Dao and stand above it.”

”Our Giant race, during the Immortal Alliance Era, was still in the Wilderness Area. The ancestors’ records are generally vague, but it is mentioned that the Alliance Hierarch of the Immortal Alliance was at the Peak of Level Eighteen, a super powerhouse with potential to break through to Level Nineteen, and also the strongest in this Void Sea area.”
