Chapter 1421: Myriad Evil Demon Lord and Myriad Evil Legion

Chapter 1421: The Supreme Demon Sovereign and the Universal Demon Army

He turned his gaze back upon the deities behind him.

He saw that the true gods and the deities beneath them—though varying in degree—were all showing signs of unease. For they could feel the profound impact of the ultimate void battlefield upon their own power. Their strength had been drastically diminished, nearly vanishing to one-tenth of what it once was.

Only the Supreme Deity managed to hold up somewhat, able to unleash roughly nine-tenths of his might.

Zhou Zhan took a deep breath, observing this with quiet resolve.

No wonder this was the battlefield of ultimate void. From the very first moment, it had struck them with a thunderous blow, revealing the terrifying power of this realm.

Within his mind, he pondered whether there existed a way to counteract the suppression of his strength.

At that very instant,

he suddenly sensed something. His eyes lifted, fixed upon the distant horizon.

A vast army of ten billion deities suddenly materialized in the far distance.

They soared swiftly toward him, closing the expanse until they stood right before Zhou Zhan.

Zhou Zhan gazed upon this faction that had emerged so abruptly.

At the vanguard of this host was a deity wearing a pitch-black helmet and dark armor, bearing a black spear upon his back, and striding atop a massive crimson-and-black dragon.

His aura was utterly terrifying, and the moment he appeared, every god and even the True Gods present were suppressed into dead silence.

Even Zhou Zhan found himself catching his breath slightly.

Staring at the figure, he could sense a deeply hidden, horrific demonic presence lurking within the depths of the entity's aura.

It was as though an endless, terrifying demon was sealed inside the stranger's body.

However, this malicious energy seemed to be forcefully restrained by an immensely powerful law of sealing.

And because of this.

He stood there, like the source of evil, or perhaps the very end, the final fate of it all!

Zhou Zhan's thoughts were still and calm.

The Supreme God!

And absolutely a top-tier Supreme God!

And from the way he was acting, it seemed as though he intended to deliver a harsh first impression to the newcomer—himself.

This must be the Master of a Hundred Evils, without a doubt.

It appeared that the other party was not, as Yuan had claimed, a pure good and lawful candidate for Supreme Lord of the Order.

Yet, as a rival for the title of Supreme Lord, his actions were entirely understandable.

His gaze swept over the Master of a Hundred Evils, then settled upon the army of a hundred billion behind him.

The army behind him—numbering a full hundred billion—was terrifying. And even more terrifying was the fact that all of these hundred billion soldiers were gods themselves.

Zhou Zhan's eyes swept across the scene, and in his mind, a rough estimate already took shape.

Just by looking at this army of hundred billion divine beings before him, he could already tell that the number of True Gods alone exceeded ten million!

As for the number of Supreme Gods—there were roughly ten thousand of them.

Ten thousand Supreme Gods!

A number that Zhou Zhan had never dared to imagine before—now standing before him, solid and real.

Previously, even when combined, the Supreme Gods of the three top-tier bloodline races and their elite affiliated bloodlines totaled no more than a thousand.

But here—just the One Evil Legion alone possessed ten times the number of Supreme Gods as the combined total of those three top-tier bloodlines and their elite offshoots.

And this was likely not even the full extent of their Supreme Gods.

One could clearly see the terrifying strength of the other side!

And that's only counting the number of Supreme Gods.

Zhou Zhan could feel it.

Within their vast army, at least five waves of Supreme God-level presences flickered subtly, barely concealed!

The rest were all divine beings below the rank of True God.

Zhou Zhan took a deep, quiet breath.

Were these the forces of the Universal Demon Lord and his Universal Demon Army?

Their strength and influence were indeed staggering.

If war broke out, Zhou Zhan himself couldn't be certain whether his Mandate of Heaven child would even succeed in activating against the enemy.

Most likely, it would simply fail.

After all, the enemy's strength had long surpassed theirs. Before the Son of Heaven's destiny could even attempt to wield his power, such a vast disparity in strength would render it utterly ineffective.

His gaze settled upon the ultimate demonic units—the Final Evil Spirits.

These beings had no physical form, merely a swirling mass of crimson mist. Surrounding this mist, intricate blood-red runes pulsed and shimmered.

Zhou Zhan, master of all techniques, instantly recognized these runes as sealing incantations.

They were capable of imprisoning demons, and in doing so, channeling the imprisoned entities' power into their own. The more demons sealed, the greater the strength and the broader the array of tactics available. It was a high-growth, elite-tier profession—remarkable in its potential evolution.

Within this vast army of billions of demonic forces, the Final Evil Spirits accounted for roughly one-fifth.

The remaining four-fifths were composed entirely of divine-state troops.

Yet even so—

This power alone stirred the astonishment of outsiders.

"A newly recruited Supreme Evil Spirit—among peers, I'd say it's far inferior to my Supreme Divine Weapon and Supreme Holy Divine Sage."

"A Supreme Evil Spirit that has grown through high potential might stand a chance against my top-tier units, but only in a brief skirmish—its winning odds would be no more than twenty percent."

Zhou Zhan mentally assessed the situation.

Then, he exhaled in relief.

Though the opposing force was powerful, he himself held a clear advantage in unit strength.

Once he grew stronger within this Ultimate Void battlefield, he might well face them head-on.

At the same time,

The Lord of a Hundred Evils was observing this new candidate for Supreme Lordship before him.

Is this the fourth candidate selected by the Supreme Will?

Only true god-level strength?

The Supreme Demon Lord instantly perceived the true depth of Zhou Zhan's power.

Yet He dared not slight him in the slightest.

For, as he knew, before arriving on the Supreme Continent, Zhou Zhan had not even begun his cultivation—no trace of any spiritual realm, not even a Black Iron-tier Transcendent.

Yet within the brief span of time since his arrival, his strength had surged with astonishing speed, rising to the level now unmatched in the annals of eternity!

At his current age, he was still not yet twenty-five.

Throughout history—

Beyond the born-deities among the Primordial Divine Beings, no post-natural spirit had ever achieved such a rate of cultivation.

Not even himself.

He would never surpass him.

The future? It would likely never see such a thing.

"Hello, Sovereign of the People."

"I have long heard of your name, and today I finally get to see you."

After a long silence, it was still the Supreme Lord of Ten Thousand Evil Demons who spoke first.

After all, He had come to 'welcome' him.

"Your Majesty is too kind," replied the other.

"I have long heard of your name as well."

"It is said that if it were not for your steadfast presence at the Final Void Battlefield, the ultimate cosmic barrier of the highest realm would have long been shattered by the beings of the Final Void, and our world would have already been invaded by these external forces. Your great achievements are remembered by all the realms across the cosmos."

Zhou Zhan smiled faintly.

Unmoved by the overwhelming divine pressure emanating from his opponent.

The Supreme Lord of Ten Thousand Evil Demons merely gave a quiet smile, gently withdrawing his aura.

"Let's go back to the base."

"Exactly, I'll introduce you to the situation in the Ultimate Void Battlefield."

The Master of Ten Thousand Evil said.

"Good."

Zhou Zhan nodded.

Then, together, they flew toward the base's location, guided by the ranks of the Evil Legion.
