Chapter 0474: The Clan of Red Demons

“Hehe, the two of them have indeed entered the Red Demon Valley!” After Huang Long and Brade descended into the deep valley, a figure flashed above it—Qibu reappeared.
“Be careful, humans. Even the supreme gods of perfection dare not enter the Red Demon Valley. You’ve gone in… Hehe, I hope you can get out alive!” Qibu sneered as he watched from above.
The Red Demon Valley was one of the most forbidden areas in Hell, a place that even the mighty beast lords feared, regarded as a valley of death.
“Yet since the Cycle Stone was born in this Red Demon Valley…” Qibu sighed. “Do we really have to give up?”
“Never mind. The Cycle Stone is important, but life is more so.”
“I’ll go look for other treasures first.”
With that, Qibu vanished in a flash.
Unaware of Qibu’s words, Huang Long and Brade had already fallen thousands of feet deep into the valley.
The valley was utterly dark, without any light—like midnight ink. Occasionally, faint glimmers the size of rice grains could be seen in the distance, but these glimmers were strange; upon approaching, they disappeared as if they had never existed, just like the illusions they had seen before.
As they fell deeper, the devouring and corrosive force grew stronger. Even Brade, who had unleashed his divine power, found it increasingly difficult to resist.
Under this force, Brade’s divine power and soul were constantly being consumed, threatening to tear him apart at any moment.
Seeing this, Huang Long summoned the Five Elements Spiritual Flags. Their radiant light protected a ten-mile radius around them, allowing Brade to breathe a little easier.
The two continued descending, and the howling sounds at the valley bottom grew louder, forming a roaring noise. At first, it didn’t seem serious, but over time, Brade felt his mind cloud over and his soul ache as if being torn apart.
Even Huang Long found it hard to endure.
“Brade, the Soul Calming Stone!” Huang Long flashed his hands, sending the Soul Calming Stone toward Brade.
Previously, it had only served as an aid in healing Huang Yi, so it didn’t get depleted like the Golden Fire Crystal in Huang Long’s hands.
Brade approached the stone, pouring his divine power into it. The stone emitted a crimson glow, enveloping his soul, and the howling ceased.
“Young master, what about you?” Brade asked.
“I’m fine,” said Huang Long. “Though this demonic sound is powerful, it can’t affect my soul.”
Seeing this, Brade stopped insisting.
And so, the two continued deeper into the valley.

Thus, below 3,000 zhang, Huang Long and Bradd discovered that the devouring and corrosive force was weakening, as was the howling demonic sound. Overjoyed by this discovery, they sped up further. As they went deeper, the pitch-black surroundings, once completely dark, gradually began to brighten. “Young master, look, at the bottom of the valley!” After reaching 5,000 zhang, Bradd pointed downward in excitement. Huang Long’s expression also relaxed—finally, they had reached the bottom of the deep valley! The two descended swiftly. When their feet touched the valley floor, the devouring and corrosive force vanished entirely, along with the howling demonic sound. Everything was bright, just like above the valley. However, unlike the cracked earth above Hell, the ground here, though hot, was not cracked, and the plants around it were lush rather than withered. Huang Long saw many thick trees with lush foliage, no different from those on the mainland. “Young master, something’s wrong!” Bradd said solemnly as he scanned the surroundings. It was too quiet—quietly terrifying. Huang Long nodded. The air currents around them seemed stagnant. He expanded his spiritual senses, frowned, then raised his right hand, pointing two fingers at his forehead. A golden light swept across the area—nothing could hide from the Heaven-Seeing Eye. “Bad!” Under the Heaven-Seeing Eye, Huang Long’s expression changed. Without time to say more to Bradd, the power of the Immortal Spirit enveloped Bradd, who instantly vanished thousands of miles away. Just as they dodged, a loud explosion erupted at their former location. Terrifying red flames surged through the air, causing the ground to sink countless zhang downward as the surrounding cliffs collapsed. Before Huang Long and Bradd’s eyes, a figure appeared above where they had stood. A middle-aged man, entirely red in color, with dark red scales covering his face and four arms, and faint black light glowing in his eyes. A human-shaped prison beast! The commander?! But sensing the terrifying aura emanating from this middle-aged man, Huang Long and Bradd’s expressions changed as they exclaimed, “The Great Commander of Prison Beasts!” Indeed, this middle-aged man was a powerful Great Commander of Prison Beasts—equivalent to a supreme god among humans! After taking shape, the man waved his arms, producing sharp slicing sounds as cold light flashed from the edges. Then he licked his tongue and sneered at Huang Long and Bradd, saying, “I didn’t expect you to be able to find me and even dodge my attack. But that’s fine—killing you right away would be boring!”

“How many tens of thousands of years has it been since any human god-tier warrior entered this Red Demon Valley? Now, two of them have appeared all at once—heh, and they’re peerless warriors. Guys, come out and meet our friends,” the middle-aged man sneered.

“Red Demon Valley!” Huang Long wasn’t too worried, but Bradd’s expression changed instantly.

As soon as the middle-aged man spoke, shouts came from all directions, approaching steadily. Under Huang Long and Bradd’s gazes, countless prison beasts covered in crimson flames, with black light in their eyes and arms like knives, surrounded the two of them.

It was impossible to see the end!

“The Red Demon Clan, Red Demon Valley!” Bradd exclaimed in shock.

The Red Demon Clan—those prison beasts that made even hellish human god-tier warriors tremble—lived in the legendary Red Demon Valley.

Several eras ago, the leader of the Red Demon Clan led their prison beasts to invade the Colin Continent, destroying most of its cities and occupying most of its land.

Most of the Colin Continent!

There were only five continents in hell, yet just the Red Demon Clan alone had occupied most of it!

That time, billions of god-tier warriors from the main deities’ armies perished, along with countless other human god-tier warriors. It was then that the hellish god-tier warriors truly realized the terror of the Red Demon Clan.

Even Bradd, who was far away in the Ancient Forest of the Niumeng Mountains in the Netherworld, heard about it. This incident shocked countless god-tier warriors across various divine realms.

“Heh, I didn’t expect that after so many eras, someone would still remember our Red Demon Clan!” the Red Demon Clan leader sneered upon hearing Bradd’s exclamation.

At that moment, every inch of space around Huang Long and Bradd—above, below, everywhere—was filled with Red Demons, dense and endless.

Billions? Trillions?!

Huang Long didn’t know about the past events involving the Red Demon Clan, but from Bradd’s expression, he knew they weren’t easy to deal with.

“Kill them!” The Red Demon Clan leader’s icy voice rang out.

Instantly, the Red Demons surrounding them rushed at Huang Long and Bradd like a storm.

A cold glint appeared in Huang Long’s eyes as he waved his hands, summoning his twelve avatars. The Great Extinction Sword Formation was activated, and the surging Red Demons began falling one after another.

Bradd shook off his shock and moved his hands rapidly, unleashing his divine destructive power. Countless Red Demons turned to blood and flesh before falling to the ground.

“Twelve divine avatars?!” The Red Demon Clan leader was shocked when he saw Huang Long’s twelve avatars. His previously indifferent expression changed. “Are you Huang Long?!”

The Yellow Dragon, who was controlling its twelve avatars to kill the charging Red Demons, was stunned upon hearing the words of the Red Demon Commander. It never expected that even the leader of these prison beasts knew its name. In fact, the Yellow Dragon had underestimated its own influence. The armament competition at Ice Mirror Lake had already shaken the entire underworld, and with its breakthrough to the Taiyi Golden Immortal rank at Ice Mirror Lake, it had joined the ranks of the most powerful beings. Now, every corner of the underworld was discussing the Yellow Dragon. Its influence in the underworld was no longer comparable to that in the Netherworld; it was thus not surprising that the Red Demon Commander knew of it. “Yellow Dragon, so you’re the Yellow Dragon after all! No wonder you could dodge my attacks!” Although the Yellow Dragon did not respond, the Red Demon Commander had already identified it and spoke to himself in delight. It was extremely difficult for even the most powerful beings to evade attacks from Upper Divine beings at the Great Perfection stage. But for the Yellow Dragon, it seemed nothing impossible. The impossible became possible—this was how the gods evaluated the Yellow Dragon! “Catch it alive!” After confirming the Yellow Dragon’s identity, the Red Demon Commander changed its order, staring at it with blazing eyes, as if seeing a priceless treasure. The Yellow Dragon ignored the Red Demon Commander’s thoughts and continued to kill the charging Red Demons. To its surprise, those Red Demons that had turned to flesh and blood under the Great Extinction Sword Formation reformed again after falling! They weren’t dead! This was somewhat similar to the Army of Ghosts in the Hengyuan Realm, but far more terrifying—those ghosts relied on the restoration power of the magic arrays on the armor crafted by the Yellow Dragon to remain immortal. Yet these Red Demons possessed an innate ability to regenerate, even more terrifying than mere restoration! The Yellow Dragon realized that as long as these Red Demons weren’t completely reduced to ashes, they could regenerate and revive! Shocked, the Yellow Dragon’s face showed even greater astonishment. The prison beast race of Red Demons truly had the ability to regenerate! It was precisely because of this terrifying regenerative ability that they had conquered most of the Colin Continent back then. The Red Demon Commander did not intervene but watched from the side, a smile playing on its lips as it observed the expressions of the Yellow Dragon and its companions. “Yellow Dragon, even with your twelve divine avatars, you must submit and be bound before my Red Demon race!” the Red Demon Commander said with a laugh. At that moment, the Yellow Dragon’s eyes turned icy cold. Facing the overwhelming army of Red Demons, it summoned its army of mutated primal beasts with a single thought.
