The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2610 - 2585: Massacre of the City!

From Tianxin City, the Spirit Boat set off directly toward the Dynasty of Beasts.

During their journey, Lin Bai witnessed countless cities and villages wrapped in the haze of battle, with warrior corpses littering the landscape everywhere.

Positioned atop the Spirit Boat, Lin Bai spoke with composure, "The Four Great Dharma Kings of the Demon Sect have sneaked into territories and dynasties beforehand, stirring up warriors to assault cities and nobles, sowing widespread disorder!"

"This moment gives the Demon Sect Master the perfect chance for vengeance!"

Lan Yuxin gave a nod and remarked, "If our guess holds true, those Demon Sect martial artists ravaging the Thousands of Demons Area are likely locals masquerading as them!"

Hu Xiner chuckled, "What a shrewd plan!"

Lin Bai agreed with a nod, "That's right—in this Martial Arts World, cultivation resources are the scarcest thing, and it's a realm where the mighty devour the feeble!"

"Families of the powerful expand further, whereas those of the powerless dwindle away!"

"Such inequality slowly festers into deep grudges!"

"In times of tranquility, they'd never dare vent that bitterness!"

"Yet when turmoil erupts, they cloak themselves in black robes, top their heads with bamboo hats, and rampage freely, seizing all sorts of cultivation resources!"

Lin Bai drew in a profound breath before continuing.

Lan Yuxin shook her head, "I never imagined the world beyond East Continent Academy could be so brutal!"

Hu Xiner let out a laugh, "Lan Yuxin, plenty of realities escape your notice. Raised in luxury, you've never fretted over mere survival or cultivation resources, so of course the world's cruelties elude you!"

"It's not only the East Continent; we endured the same in the Sky Desolation Secret Realm..."

A trace of sorrow tinged Hu Xiner's tone.

Lin Bai nodded faintly.

Scenes like this were familiar to Lin Bai and Hu Xiner, both rising from the lowest strata of this harsh world.

Lin Bai originated from Lingxi City in the Territory of all nations.

Hu Xiner, on the other hand, hailed from the Sky Desolation Secret Realm.

Cultivation resources were already rare in the Sky Desolation Secret Realm, forcing them to divide scraps among numerous Demon Clan powerhouses while fending off ambushes from East Continent Academy warriors.

Having matured amid such dire straits, Hu Xiner grasped the world's brutal truths intimately.

Entering the Dynasty of Beasts, the Spirit Boat passed cities where almost every one had been massacred.

"The Dynasty of Beasts appears to have collapsed."

Lin Bai declared gravely.

"Head to the Imperial Palace!"

Lin Bai urged the Spirit Boat faster, racing directly to the Imperial Palace.

Ten hours of relentless speed later, after burning through vast quantities of Spirit Liquid, they reached the Imperial Palace grounds.

From the Spirit Boat, the trio gazed distantly at the Dynasty of Beasts' Imperial Palace.

Blood rivers coursed through the Imperial Palace, piled high with uncountable corpses.

The formerly grand Imperial Palace walls lay in ruins.

Jade-hued structures in the Imperial City now burned fiercely.

No cries or shrieks echoed in the city—just eerie stillness and a choking blood stench.

As though the entire populace had been butchered!

Facing the Imperial City's atrocities that day, all three paled in shock, falling mute.

"Stay vigilant, all of you."

Lin Bai whispered, gripping the Demonic Sword in its Blackwood Scabbard firmly.

Ice-blue hues flickered to life in Lan Yuxin’s eyes.

Hu Xiner tensed into a combat stance as well.

Disembarking the Spirit Boat, the three stepped into the Imperial City, advancing cautiously.

Imperial Palace grounds overflowed with corpses and shattered demon beast remains.

Prominently in the Imperial Palace stood a mountain-sized Golden Eagle that drew Lin Bai and the others' eyes.

Lan Yuxin noted, "That Golden Eagle served as the Dynasty of Beasts' protector divine beast, boasting Kunpeng bloodline and Great Perfection of the Wending Realm cultivation. Unbelievable that even it fell."

Lin Bai stared at the colossal, mountain-like Golden Eagle.

Its golden-yellow feathers gleamed, radiating undying regal pressure even postmortem.

Undoubtedly, this Golden Eagle had ruled as the King of the Thousands of Demons while alive!

Hu Xiner commented, "I feel a tremendous heavenly prestige from this Golden Eagle. It's inconceivable—what force could slay it!"

Lan Yuxin added, "From the Feng Family intel earlier, the Demon Sect employs Life and Death Talismans to dominate the mighty."

"Hundreds of Wending Realm peak powerhouses striking as one could surely fell this King of the Thousands of Demons!"

Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner discussed leisurely.

Yet Lin Bai interjected then, "Warriors didn't slay it!"

Lan Yuxin turned to Lin Bai inquisitively, "What?"

Approaching the Golden Eagle, Lin Bai vaulted upward, peered below, and spotted twin massive blood holes in its neck... His gaze darkened sharply.

"Warriors didn't kill it!"

"Poison claimed this Golden Eagle's life!"

"The toxin strikes fiercely, deadly the instant it meets blood!"

As Lin Bai eyed the neck wounds, his gaze sharpened; right then, the Golden Eagle's flesh visibly decayed.

In moments, the massive corpse would likely dissolve into a bloody, pus-filled mess.

Brimming with valuables once, the Golden Eagle's form was now ruined by the corrosive bloodbone poison, worthless entirely.

"Search for any royal family survivors!"

"Also, a Saint from East Continent Academy should have arrived to support the Dynasty of Beasts. Locate their position!"

Lin Bai turned to Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner.

The trio pressed deeper into the Imperial Palace, amid corpses of maids and eunuchs sprawled everywhere, palace interiors stripped bare.

Floor tiles had even been ripped away!

Lin Bai spotted numerous naked concubines in the Imperial Palace, foul fluids leaking from their lower regions before death.

For the first time, Lin Bai beheld a Demon Sect-devastated dynasty, the devastation utterly horrifying.

Lan Yuxin's expression grew stormier with each glance.

Even Hu Xiner, a Demon Clan fighter, deemed the Demon Sect's acts inhumanely vile.

Royal kin, maids, eunuchs, concubines, princes, princesses—virtually none in the Imperial Palace endured.

Though Lin Bai and companions scoured the Imperial Palace extensively, no living souls appeared.

Suddenly, Lan Yuxin’s sound transmission token activated.

Lan Yuxin retrieved the sound transmission token, drawing Lin Bai and Hu Xiner's attention.

Ling Yi's voice rang out instantly, "Yuxin, the Dynasty of Beasts is lost, royals wiped out utterly—do not head to the Dynasty of Beasts!"

"Lest you clash directly with Demon Sect martial artists!"

Lan Yuxin forced down a hard swallow and replied grimly, "Father, we're right now in the Dynasty of Beasts' Imperial Palace!"

Hearing that, Ling Yi fell quiet for ages before inquiring, "How does it look there?"

Lan Yuxin glanced around at the ruined palace below, bodies amid blood pools, nauseating blood odor thick in the air; coldly she stated, "It’s tragic!"
