Chapter 288: Fairy Peak

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

In the depths of Mt. Thirty Thousand, the surface of the ground was trembling unceasingly. The demonic beasts in the mountain would either flee or curl up while s.h.i.+vering with fear. Two formidable beast auras quickly enveloped the entire mountain peak. Those low-tiered demonic beasts were all prostrating on the ground and didn’t even dare to breathe out heavily.

“Boom, boom!”

Two giant demonic beasts crashed their way in, with bodies that were upright. All the nearby trees and smaller stone peaks were all smashed into dust by their enormous bodies. These two demonic beasts ignored those prostrating low-tiered demonic beast and ran violently. Their speed didn’t seem fast, but it took them just a few blinks of the eye to vanish into the distance.

Mt. Thirty Thousand surely lives up to its name. There are so many mountains here and so many demonic beasts. I think the Demon Empress only took a small portion of the demonic beasts out previously, right? If she was to bring all the demonic beasts out…

Jiang Yi was standing on the shoulders of the unnamed Demon King the little fox named as ‘Xiao Hong’ while he was astonished as he constantly observed the place. He couldn’t remember how many mountains did they pa.s.s by. This Demon King’s speed was too fast, and there were so many demonic beasts that it dazzled Jiang Yi.

“Big Brother, we are reaching my home soon. My home is very pretty, but a pity that I am always alone by myself. Empress Mother is usually in seclusion and doesn’t play with me. Xiao Hong and the others always like to cultivate and won’t play with me either.”

“Big Brother, why don’t you stay at my home for a short period of time? With Big Brother accompanying Xiao Fei, I will not feel lonely anymore.”

“Big Brother, my home has many kinds of spirit fruits! Once we are at my home, Xiao Fei will give you some to eat…”

Xiao Fei hopped onto Jiang Yi’s shoulder and would send him a message from time to time. Jiang Yi didn’t know how to answer and would just smile while continuing to observe the scenery in the depths of the mountain.

“Eh?”

A giant mountain peak appeared in the distance, which rose right through the clouds. Furthermore, there was a straight cliff that was facing them that was smooth like a mirror. It was unknown how tall the mountain was while the sides of the mountain were yet to be seen. Jiang Yi gasped silently. Such a tall mountain peak would probably be the no.1 mystical peak of the continent, right? Could regular low-tiered demonic beasts and humans possibly ascend it?

“Big Brother, Xiao Fei’s home is on top. This Fairy Peak was shaven out by my Empress Mother using a sword, five hundred years ago. Except for Xiao Hong and the others, an ordinary demonic beast does not have the qualification to ascend it. You are also the first human to ever go up you know?”

Xiao Fei sent a message while Jiang Yi listened as his tongue was tied up. This mystical peak was actually forcefully cleaved by a sword? Most importantly, this straight cliff was smooth like a mirror and didn’t have any jagged edges, which meant it was done in one blade. It also meant that the Demon Empress’ combat strength was already so incredible five hundred years ago.

Five hundred years ago?

When he thought about this, Jiang Yi blinked his eyes confusingly and asked Xiao Fei, “Five hundred years? How old is your Empress Mother? And how old is Xiao Fei? Oh right… what about your father?”

Xiao Fei tilted her head and thought for a moment before she answered with a message. “Empress Mother has probably lived for over a thousand years? Xiao Fei is only eleven years old, and I do not have a father. Our spirit fox race does not have any fathers, and the members are all given birth by mothers.”

“Over a thousand years old?”

Jiang Yi took a gasp of cold air. The longest living human in history was about five hundred years old, right? This was because that individual was a Heaven Monarch Realm absolute expert, which explained the longer lifespan. A Soul Travel Realm expert would only be able to live to an age of three hundred while a Vajra Realm martial expert was able to live to four hundred years old. The stronger a martial artist was, the longer they could live.

“Ignorant!”

The blood red Demon King snorted and said, “Demonic beasts’ const.i.tution is much superior to a human’s body. An ordinary tier-three demonic beast can live up to five or six hundred years while Demon Kings like us can easily live over a thousand years. When at the Demon Emperor cla.s.s, living over three thousand years is just a casual thing. You humans are sub-par…”

Jiang Yi rubbed his nose embarra.s.sedly. This Demon King was instinctively despising humans, and he didn’t want to refute it.

Otherwise, a single statement would be able to block up the Demon King’s mouth. If demonic beasts were truly so formidable, then why were the million years of history of the continent dictated by humans? Why not demonic beasts?

As just the blood-colored demonic beast finished speaking, it arrived at the foot of the straight cliff and yelled out, “Stand firm!” It then suddenly stomped on the ground, leaving tremors and cracks behind.

Its ma.s.sive body shot upwards, and this leap actually launched it more than 30 kilometers in the air. Extending its sharp claws and thrusting into the stone cliff, its feet stomped on the stone cliff and borrowed strength to shoot upwards again.

In just a few jumps, the blood red Demon King effortlessly flew above the mountain peak which was a hundred kilometers tall. That black giant ape also quickly leaped up and landed on the peak of the mountain, causing the surface of the ground to shake.

Such beauty!

Jiang Yi looked around and felt like it was a paradise. This was a very high terrain which had white mist in the surroundings as though they were on top of the clouds. There were no trees around the mountain peak’s palace hall, only flowers; and it was a sea of flowers where hundreds of them had bloomed. Each of the flowers was trying to compete in beauty—so beautiful that it was enchanting.

“Little princess, bring this human in. The Emperor didn’t give any orders, and we shall not enter the Emperor’s Palace.”

The blood-colored Demon King m.u.f.fled while it spoke and extended its giant palm to lightly hold onto the little fox. It bent over and gently placed it on the ground. At the same time, it used its mace-like eyes to glance at Jiang Yi with an obvious meaning: ‘Aren’t you going to get off?’

“Swis.h.!.+”

Jiang Yi pressed his lips together and quickly jumped off, landing softly on the ground. His maneuvers were rather graceful and confident, a pity that the blood-colored demonic beast wasn’t pleased with it. It snorted in an imposing manner, which caused Jiang Yi’s body to s.h.i.+ver as he nearly fell over.

“Ji-Ji!”

The little fox let out two unsatisfied cries, which the blood red Demon King responded by withdrawing its fierce eyes. It nodded humanely towards the little fox and jumped off towards the cliff. That giant ape didn’t speak a single word from start to end and also nodded to the little fox before jumping off.

“Big Brother, let’s go. Empress Mother is waiting for you.”

The little fox sent a message before it bounced and hopped ahead, leading the way. Jiang Yi followed it and walked forward, observing the beautiful scenery and sniffing the faint fragrance of the flowers. He had a feeling as though he was about to get intoxicated.

After walking for a short moment, Jiang Yi realized that the mist was getting thicker ahead. He used his black essence force to enhance his vision to see through the thick mist. When he took a glance ahead, his eyes suddenly shrank while he felt something inconceivable.

There was actually a giant palace ahead which was even bigger than the Azure Dragon Empire’s imperial palace. Everything was constructed with white jade, and it looked very holistic in the midst of the thick mist. At this moment, Jiang Yi felt as though he had stepped into a divine domain.

How did this palace appear here?

The thing that amazed Jiang Yi the most was because this place was the Fairy Peak, and the deepest area in Mt. Thirty Thousand. Who was the one that constructed this palace here? The Demon Empress couldn’t possibly construct this palace personally, right? These demonic beasts didn’t have deft hands; they couldn’t build this palace, right? Could it be that the Demon Empress captured many humans and forced them to build it?

“Jiang Yi, come in! Don’t make a fuss over everything. This palace is just an artifact.”

An emotionless voice echoed, snapping Jiang Yi out of his daze as he followed the little fox into the palace. When they approached the huge doors of the palace, it actually opened by itself. The little fox took the lead and hopped in, immediately jumping into the arms of a gorgeous lady seated on the white jade throne. It constantly let out ‘Ji-Ji’ and had this expression that was taking credit for its achievements.

“Alright Xiao Fei, Empress Mother knows that you are incredible!”

The originally icy cold face on the Demon Empress suddenly alleviated upon seeing the little fox. The eyes were filled with pampering as she gently stroked the little fox’s head and laughed. “Alright now. You go ask Xiao Hong and the others to harvest some fruits. Empress Mother has something to discuss with Jiang Yi.”
