The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron-Chapter 694 - : Panic in the Demon Suppressing City
Chapter 694: Chapter 694: Panic in the Demon Suppressing City
Outside of the Ferocious Mountain, within Demon Suppressing City.
“Quick! What’s that?”
“My God! That’s a massive turtle!”
“Such fearsome Demon Qi! It must be a Demon King!”
“Why do I feel that even a Demon King isn’t this terrifying?”
····
The various martial artists within the city were all looking towards the Ferocious Mountain, witnessing the colossal shadow of the turtle demon, akin to a massive mountain.
The phantom image was terrifying to the point where even though there was significant distance, the martial artists could still feel the tide-like, terrifying demon qi coming from every direction.
The Demon Suppressing King and all of the city’s powerful individuals immediately flew into the air, each of them looking with horrified expressions towards the deep part of the Ferocious Mountain where the huge turtle demon’s shadow was looming.
“Demon Suppressing King, you’ve guarded this place for many years, how could such a beast reside within Ferocious Mountain?” Prince Hai, who had come from Xuan City, asked with an immensely solemn expression.
Not just him, but the other masters also turned their attention towards the Demon Suppressing King, hoping to get an answer from him.
The face of the Demon Suppressing King turned particularly grim as he shook his head and said, “I’ve never seen this Turtle Demon before.”
“Hiss!” Hearing these words, the crowd gasped, finding it unbelievable that the Demon Suppressing King, despite having been here for so many years, wasn’t aware of such a terrifying creature within the Ferocious Mountain.
“This is only a phantom image, yet it possesses such power. The normal Demon Kings couldn’t even compare to half of it.” An elderly figure from another faction spoke tremulously.
The Demon Suppressing King glanced at him and said bluntly, “This is no Demon King; it’s a true Giant Demon King.”
“What?” On hearing this, everyone present was flabbergasted, and their faces turned pale.
A Giant Demon King? What did that mean? It’s a creature that stands above Demon Kings, above even the Spirit Bone realm masters of the Human Clan, carrying a power beyond comprehension.
The crowd felt a chill run down their spines. Stiffly turning their heads, they looked towards the Ferocious Mountain’s deep abyss where the shadow of the Turtle Demon roamed.
As soon as they looked, the shadow of the Turtle Demon seemed to have sensed something and turned its gaze towards Demon Suppressing City, producing a resonating, heaven-shattering roar.
Roar!!!!!!!
The roar was like ten thousand thunderclaps resounding simultaneously, causing the entire earth to quake. The array covering the entire Hundred Beast Mountain range flickered violently.
Splutter!!!!
Several martial artists of lesser strength spat out blood on the spot. The mere roar from such a distance made them cough up blood. This was still just a phantom; if the real entity arrived, the whole of Demon Suppressing City would probably vanish.

Even the powerful Demon Suppressing King’s face turned pale, and his body wavered. The suppression by the Giant Demon King was something these people couldn’t resist.
“Demon Suppressing King! Could it be that you already knew about the Giant Demon King’s existence in Ferocious Mountain and deliberately lured us here to die?” A powerful individual pointed at the Demon Suppressing King and roared.
Not just one person, but many stared at the Demon Suppressing King, their eyes filled with suspicion and anger.
They firmly believed that the Demon Suppressing King knew about the existence of the Giant Demon King within the Ferocious Mountain but chose to conceal it out of fear that they would refuse to help if they knew of its presence.
“Demon Suppressing King, you owe us an explanation. Since there’s a Giant Demon King existing within Ferocious Mountain, we can leave at any time and leave you to fend for yourself!” Another person spoke harshly.
Prince Hai also turned towards the Demon Suppressing King; he too found it hard to believe the Demon Suppressing King, who had guarded the area for so many years and had ventured into Ferocious Mountain so many times, did not know about the existence of the Giant Demon King.
The Demon Suppressing King coldly eyed the crowd and said with a frosty tone, “What? Now that you know a Giant Demon King resides in Ferocious Mountain, are you all scared?”
All the powerful individuals present were irritated, their faces alternating between green and white out of anger. Of course, they were scared. After all, it was a Giant Demon King, anyone who was faced with this would be scared.
But they were strong individuals from various powerful sects and factions. They cared about their faces; wouldn’t such a direct declaration of their fear embarrass them?
“Hmph! The Giant Demon King is unimaginably terrifying. All of us combined don’t stand a chance against it. If the Giant Demon King wanted to breach Hundred Beast Mountain, no matter what we do, it would be futile and this Demon Suppressing City would be impossible to guard!” an old woman exclaimed.
“Exactly, at this point, Demon Suppressing King is dawning, the city will be destroyed as soon as the Giant Demon King appears. Given this, we should leave this place sooner to avoid being buried with the city,” another person said.
After witnessing the shadow of the turtle demon, not one or two, but a majority of the powerhouses had the intention of retreat.
It was not that they were timid or afraid but believed that the Demon Suppressing City didn’t need to be guarded anymore. The emergence of the Giant Demon King meant that bringing in more people would only increase casualties.
Among them, there were experts in the Spirit Bone realm, comparable to the Demon Kings of the Demon Clan.
However, Spirit Bone realm strong individuals, in front of the Giant Demon King in the Six Transformations, were no different to ants.
The Demon Suppressing King looked disdainfully at these people. Although he was shocked by the appearance of the Turtle Demon, he didn’t have the slightest intention to retreat.
He was born in Demon Suppressing City, grew up in Demon Suppressing City. His father was the previous Demon Suppressing King, his grandfather too was a Demon Suppressing King. Generation after generation, they all belonged to The Lineage of Demon Suppressing. From the establishment of Demon Suppressing City, his lineage had been rooted here.
The Demon Suppressing King wouldn’t leave Demon Suppressing City. Even if the city is destroyed, he would perish along with the city that had stood firm for thousands of years.
Thus, even if all these strong individuals who came to aid left, the Demon Suppressing King would not care.
Prince Hai glanced around at the crowd, spoke up and said, “Everyone, although the Giant Demon King is scary, I hope you can put aside your prejudices and discuss properly. Demon Suppressing City absolutely cannot fall. Once it is breached by the demon beasts, where in Xuan Country would be spared? Can the forces behind you avoid the tragedy?”
“We all know the logic, but now that Demon Suppressing City can’t be preserved any longer, what’s the point of us staying? Do we have to die along with the Demon Suppressing King and the city?” someone yelled angrily.
Prince Hai took a deep breath and revealed shocking news.
“You might not be aware, but His Majesty the Emperor is currently consecrating The Ancient Lamp of Flame God and will arrive here in a few days,” Prince Hai said.
Upon hearing these words, everyone present became silent. Even the Demon Suppressing King was taken aback; he had no idea that the Xuan Emperor was actually going to come to Demon Suppressing City.
“Not only His Majesty but also the Hall Masters of the Western Guarding Palace and North Town Hall of the Pill Alliance will bring people to assist in the battle,” Prince Hai added.
“The Pill Alliance is dispatching two Hall Masters to help, which means this city could potentially be guarded.”
“Indeed, plus with the Xuan Emperor himself taking action, even the Giant Demon King could be resisted.”
“Who would have thought that the Ancient Lamp of Flame God, which had been dormant for a thousand years, was about to be ignited again.”
····
Everyone was talking, all except the Demon Suppressing King who seemed uninterested in these developments. He looked towards the deep abyss of the Fierce Mountain where the shadow of the Turtle Demon was lurking, furrowing his brows, lost in thought.
Within the Ferocious Mountain, The Silver Fox, who was attacking Fang Lin and his companions, suddenly perceived the phantom shadow of the giant turtle and promptly halted in its tracks.
