Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2169: 585: Breaking Through to Nascent Soul (Double Length)

Despite the Third Rank Formation sealing off the external Qi Mechanism and exerting a crushing pressure, the formidable aura of a Fourth Rank Demon King still caused their Qi-Blood Magical Power to churn uncontrollably, their countenances draining of color.

"Remain calm; your sole duty is to diligently oversee the Formation."

Lu Changsheng sent a mental message to the five individuals, instructing them to meticulously maintain the Great Formation, thereby preventing any Demon Beasts from setting foot on the island.

"Word reached us of a Human Clan cultivator undergoing tribulation in this vicinity; my companions and I have arrived to observe."

The Fourth Rank Snake King, now accompanied by two other Fourth Rank Demon Kings, approached Split Wind Island, their roars echoing fiercely as they unleashed gales and noxious mists.

This time, the Snake King exuded a more aggressive demeanor, seemingly sensing an opportunity to exploit their current predicament.

"Does this aggressive posturing from the Demon King truly resemble mere observation?"

Qian Zhuyan, encased in his immense mechanical body, bellowed like thunder. He initiated the Puppet Battle Array, a formation of eleven puppets, weaving a formidable Puppet Power Array that pulsed with an intimidating Qi Mechanism, his voice resonating, hoarse yet sonorous.

"What? Is this Daoist unfriendly towards our presence?"

Even through the distance and the Third Rank Formation, as a Fourth Rank Demon King, it could clearly detect the highly alluring scent of a Nascent Soul presence emanating from the island.

While the island might not have been sufficiently enticing before, it now presented an irresistible temptation.

"We welcome guests, but should your intentions be hostile, take heed from the fate of those who came before!"

Qian Zhuyan gestured towards the fallen Split Wind Beast, his declaration ringing out.

As he spoke, he unceremoniously discarded a leg of the Split Wind Beast, a gesture that caused him considerable reluctance.

After all, the corpse of a Fourth Rank Demon King was an invaluable resource, sufficient to forge a Fourth Rank Puppet.

"Just this meager offering? Does Daoist belittle us!?"

The Fourth Rank Snake King, its body slick with corrosive poison, hissed its displeasure.

Witnessing Qian Zhuyan dispatch the Split Wind Beast earlier had momentarily tempered its greed.

Now, bolstered by the presence of two allies, it had regained its audacity.

No matter how powerful the mechanical puppet was, it could not possibly contend against all three of them simultaneously.

"Indeed, does it think little of us!?"

To the Snake King's left was a dark golden Armored Sea Cow.

As it spoke, the coral-like horn atop its head vibrated intensely, emitting a sound akin to a colossal mountain roaring into the sea, an imposing and intimidating display.

"You would be wise not to push your aggression further!"

Facing the combined might of three Fourth Rank Demon Kings, Qian Zhuyan remained unfazed, his voice still hoarse and resonant.

"Human cultivators crossing tribulation within our Forbidden Sea is already an act of provocation. Now that we have come to observe, you still intend to dismiss us so casually? Such outrageous impudence!"

The three Fourth Rank Demon Kings roared in unison, their collective power generating a terrifying momentum that evoked images of shifting mountains and seas, conjuring whirlpools and surging tsunamis around them.

As Fourth Rank Demon Kings, their growth was no longer solely reliant on inherent bloodline potential; external resources had become imperative for advancement.

"My wife is currently undergoing tribulation; if your purpose is observation, ample rewards shall be bestowed upon your departure. However, if you harbor intentions of disruption, having dealt with one Split Wind Beast, I am prepared to dispatch another!"

At this critical juncture, Lu Changsheng materialized beside Qian Zhuyan. His Fourth Rank Physique, akin to an awakened Ancient Fierce Beast, radiated a Qi Mechanism as heavy and oppressive as a prison.

He recognized that when dealing with these Demon Kings, simple offerings would prove ineffective.

Without possessing sufficient strength to deter them, extending goodwill would only fuel their avarice.

The Snake King and its two accompanying Fourth Rank Demon Kings exchanged a few brief hisses after spotting Lu Changsheng’s arrival, then declared, "Observing is acceptable; now, hand over the Split Wind Beast’s corpse."

Although Lu Changsheng's Qi Mechanism did not initially seem to possess the capability to slay the Split Wind Beast, the undeniable reality of its demise remained.

Furthermore, with both Lu Changsheng and Qian Zhuyan possessing Fourth Rank combat prowess, they were deemed a match for the threat, prompting their demand for substantial compensation.

"After the observation is complete."

Lu Changsheng delivered his resolute reply.

Yun Wanshang was in the midst of her tribulation; he prioritized maintaining a tranquil environment to avoid any disturbance.

Once Yun Wanshang successfully completed her tribulation, he intended to merge with the Formation and forcibly activate the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, obliterating these three impudent beings.

The audacity to attempt extorting the Lu Ancestor!

"Absolutely not! You humans are notoriously cunning, unlike our honorable Demon Race!"

The three Demon Kings, however, were not easily swayed. They understood that the presence of someone undergoing tribulation on Split Wind Island was their most potent bargaining chip.

Before their words had fully left their mouths, their terrifying might as Fourth Rank Demon Kings unleashed successive waves of tsunamis, deliberately aimed at striking Split Wind Island.
