Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Chapter 762 Lu Chen, do you think that's a Heavenly Demon?

After Ji Qiuyu gave the order, her deputy general quickly began to move, and soon the soldiers of Black Moon City were ready for battle.

Compared to before, the soldiers of Black Moon City are no longer as nervous when faced with a demonic tide, because they know that their deputy city lord can suppress the demonic energy.

As long as their deputy city lord is there, they can easily resist even a demonic tide of the same scale as last time.

However, Ji Qiuyu's expression was not good at this moment. She looked at the demonic energy gathering in the distance with a worried expression. In the past, demonic energy would not start to gather so early. Moreover, the gathering speed of demonic energy was obviously faster today. It had only just begun, and the demonic energy had already become so thick. Half of the sky in the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land was already covered by demonic energy.

Something must have happened inside the Demon-Sealing Forbidden Land!

Could it be that the Heavenly Demon has broken the seal? Thinking of this, Ji Qiuyu became even more worried.

After a while, the Forbidden Land of Demon Sealing began to tremble, and Black Moon City was also affected. The entire Black Moon City shook as if some huge monster had appeared in the Forbidden Land of Demon Sealing.

Just then, a soldier shouted, "Quick...look...look quickly!!!"

The soldiers on the city wall hurriedly looked towards the Forbidden Land of Demon Sealing, and what they saw left everyone stunned.

A gigantic body rose from the Forbidden Land of Demons, its form seemingly composed of monsters fused with those creatures from the Forbidden Land.

This……

This was the first time Ji Qiuyu had seen such a massive demon since she began guarding Black Moon City. With its height, it could easily cross the city walls and enter Black Moon City.

At this moment, the soldiers on the Black Moon City tower were in complete panic.

"What...what is that?"

"How could there be such a huge monster?"

"Could that be a demon?"

"Heavens! The Heavenly Demon has broken the seal!!!"

……

Apart from Lu Chen, none of the people present had ever seen the Heavenly Demon. The Heavenly Demon only existed in their imagination. In their view, the Heavenly Demon should have an incredibly huge body and possess terrifying pressure.

In their eyes, the monster in the Demon-Sealing Forbidden Land is no different from a Heavenly Demon.

The thought that the giant was a demon sent shivers down the soldiers' spines. Ji Qiuyu, regaining her composure, quickly ordered, "Aim all your demon-slaying arrows at that giant!"

Ji Qiuyu also suspected that the giant was the Heavenly Demon, since she had never seen the Heavenly Demon before.

The thought of the Heavenly Demon breaking the seal filled Ji Qiuyu with immense fear. She used to be unafraid of death, but now she was terrified of the Heavenly Demon.

According to historical records, if one encounters a true demon, the demon will not only kill the cultivator, but will also imprison the cultivator's soul, slowly tearing it apart and treating it as food.

If you die directly and your soul is destroyed, that's fine; you won't have to suffer the torment of the Heavenly Demon. But if you're not completely dead and fall into the hands of the Heavenly Demon, then you'll be living a life worse than death.

Lu Chen observed the giant and found that it did indeed possess a strong amount of demonic power, but compared to a true demon, the giant's demonic power was nothing.

Clearly, the giant was not a true demon, but a demonic body constructed by the demon using its power to gather demonic creatures from the sealed demonic land. The demon most likely intended to control these demonic creatures to break through the Black Moon City's blockade and allow the demonic creatures to spread out.

Just as Lu Chen was lost in thought, Ji Qiuyu asked, "Lu Chen, do you think that's a Heavenly Demon?"

Lu Chen snapped out of his daze, turned to look at Ji Qiuyu, whose face was pale, and said with a smile, "The demonic power on its body is far inferior to that of a true demon."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's answer, Ji Qiuyu was stunned. Lu Chen's words made it sound as if he had seen a real Heavenly Demon. Otherwise, how would he know that the Heavenly Demon power on that giant was far inferior to that of a real Heavenly Demon?

Ji Qiuyu asked curiously, "Have you ever seen a real Heavenly Demon?"

There is only one Heavenly Demon in the Ziyang World, and it is sealed in the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land. How could Lu Chen have ever seen a real Heavenly Demon?

Lu Chen said with a smile, "I have indeed seen a real Heavenly Demon."

Ji Qiuyu was taken aback.

She then continued, "In the Ziyang World, only the Demon-Sealing Forbidden Land contains Heavenly Demons. How could you possibly have seen a Heavenly Demon?"

Lu Chen said, "I'll tell you the specific reasons when the time comes."

Ji Qiuyu looked at Lu Chen suspiciously and tentatively asked, "You're not a demonic cultivator, are you?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I possess the power to restrain Heavenly Demons. Which Heavenly Demon do you think would dare to accept me and make me a demonic cultivator?"

Ji Qiuyu thought about it and realized that it made sense. Lu Chen possessed the power to restrain the Heavenly Demon. If the Heavenly Demon knew of his existence, it would definitely try every means to kill him. How could it possibly allow him to become a demonic cultivator?

But that's strange. When did Lu Chen first see the Heavenly Demon?

Could it be...?

Ji Qiuyu suddenly thought of a possibility.

That means Lu Chen's original body has lived for countless years. When the Heavenly Demon was sealed, Lu Chen's original body was also present. He survived by chance, so Lu Chen saw the sealed Heavenly Demon back then.

So, does that mean Lu Chen is of the same generation as his ancestor?

Ji Qiuyu immediately stopped herself from continuing to let her mind wander. In the cultivation world, it's not unusual for cultivation partners to be thousands or even tens of thousands of years apart.

Thinking of this, Ji Qiuyu came back to her senses and focused all her attention on the giant in the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land.

Ji Qiuyu then cautiously asked Lu Chen, "Lu Chen, are you confident you can handle such a large demon?"

Although Lu Chen was able to suppress the demonic energy, this monster looked extremely powerful. Lu Chen's power was ultimately limited, and she wasn't sure if he could handle this giant monster.

Lu Chen said calmly, "Don't worry, as long as this monster dares to leave the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land, I will immediately take action to eliminate it."

Although this monster looked very powerful, Lu Chen also saw its weakness: it was made up of countless other monsters.

As soon as he gets close to the giant with his ability to suppress demonic energy, the demons on the giant's body will immediately struggle and try to break free, at which point the giant will disintegrate.

Moreover, his ability to restrain the power of the Heavenly Demon is absolute. Even if that giant possesses the power of the Heavenly Demon, he has no chance of winning against the Demon Burial Technique.

As time passed, the giant grew larger and larger, and the demonic energy became increasingly dense, until the entire Black Moon City was plunged into darkness.

The sun hadn't even set yet, but the spread of demonic energy completely blocked out the sunlight of the setting sun.

The next moment, the giant strode towards Black Moon City with its enormous feet.

Just then, a soldier ran up to Ji Qiuyu and said, "City Lord, Commander Bai has brought reinforcements to help us!"

Hearing this, Ji Qiuyu sneered. She still remembered Bai Wenbin's escape last time. In her opinion, the reason Bai Wenbin dared to come to help now was probably because he felt that with Lu Chen there, there would be no danger.

Regardless of his intentions or purpose, his help was for the sake of Black Moon City, the Great Chu Dynasty, and the entire Ziyang World. Ji Qiuyu had no intention of driving Bai Wenbin away.
