Chapter 473: A Palm that Shakes the Heavens (End of Preview)
Soon.
The emergency meeting of the high-level powerhouses of the Cangwu Immortal City came to a hurried close.
Although the city lord displayed absolute confidence, believing that with the foundation of Cangwu Immortal City, they would never suffer the same fate as the previous three immortal cities, doubts still lingered in the hearts of the many powerhouses.
Better safe than sorry.
In the Palace of Flying Immortals.
The palace lord's face had been grave ever since his return, and his expression remained somber.
Moments passed.
The Palace Lord of Flying Immortals exited the palace and arrived at the entrance of an A-grade cave abode.
"I wish to pay my respects to Master Yun Zhenzi," the Palace Lord of Flying Immortals stated his intention.
With a vast number of demons gathering, the Cangwu Immortal City faced the threat of destruction, and the Palace Lord of Flying Immortals had decided to give Lin Yuan a warning.
As one of the top powerhouses of Cangwu Immortal City, he could not abandon the city, but Lin Yuan was different; his connection to the city was not as deep, and he had the means to extricate himself if necessary.
"My master is currently in seclusion," Yun Zhenzi said in a low voice. "If there is anything, Palace Lord, you may tell me, and I will inform my master."
In the past hundred years or so, the Palace Lord of Flying Immortals had frequently visited Lin Yuan, and Yun Zhenzi, aware of their good relationship, dared not neglect his guest.
"Tell you?" The Palace Lord of Flying Immortals fell silent for a moment.
The gathering of countless demons towards the region of the Cangwu Immortal City was a closely guarded secret. If this information were to leak out, it could very likely cause the many immortals of the city to flee prematurely.
Even the Palace Lord of Flying Immortals dared only to remind Lin Yuan in person; informing Yun Zhenzi, who would then relay the message to Lin Yuan, still carried the risk of exposure.
"Please inform me when your master emerges from seclusion," the Palace Lord of Flying Immortals said before turning to leave.
With the Cangwu Immortal City now on high alert, the palace lord had many matters to attend to, so he decided to wait until Lin Yuan finished his seclusion before reminding him.
Countless miles away from the Cangwu Immortal City.
An infinite number of demons gathered, their sinister demonic aura permeating the area and slowly transforming the immortal realm into a demonic abyss.
Standing amidst the countless demons were six towering figures, their profound auras resembling miniature demonic abysses. The countless demons surrounding them bowed in worship.
Almost all demons had very low intelligence and could be said to have no wisdom at all, only instinct.
However, out of the infinite number of demons, there was a minuscule probability of a Demon Emperor being born. These Demon Emperors devoured countless demons, assimilating a portion of the aura of the ancestors of the demonic abyss, and thus gaining sentience.
In a sense, Demon Emperors were akin to 'avatars' of the ancestors of the demonic abyss, and so they possessed the ability to command and control other demons.
The birth of a Demon Emperor from the infinite number of demons was an extremely terrifying event. In the past wars between immortals and demons, at most, only one Demon Emperor would appear.
But this time, the number of Demon Emperors far exceeded that of previous wars, which was why, in recent decades, three immortal cities had fallen one after another.
A single Demon Emperor leading countless demons could wreak havoc outside an immortal city but would be unable to breach its defenses.
However, when two or three Demon Emperors joined forces—three, five—they had a high probability of successfully conquering an immortal city.
"Cangwu Immortal City... What delicious food awaits us there," said one of the six Demon Emperors, his gaze fixed on the distant location of the Cangwu Immortal City.
For ordinary demons, devouring immortals in the Tribulation and Great Vehicle Stages was already a supreme delicacy, but to Demon Emperors, even Golden Immortals were not worth their attention.
What Demon Emperors craved most was Jade Immortals, and the stronger the Jade Immortal, the more beneficial they were to the Demon Emperors.
Unfortunately, Jade Immortals were few and far between. In the vast expanse of the Thirty-Three Immortal Domains, Jade Immortals were mostly concentrated in immortal cities, which was why the Demon Emperors joined forces to conquer them.
Not only could their hordes of demons feast on countless immortals, but the Demon Emperors themselves could also partake in the feast of Jade Immortals.
"The power we have gathered is now sufficient. We can begin our assault on the Cangwu Immortal City," said the foremost Demon Emperor.
As Demon Emperors, they possessed sufficient intelligence to gauge the situation. Without assurance of victory, they would bide their time, gathering strength until they could tear through the defenses of the Cangwu Immortal City in one fell swoop.
"Very well."
"If we succeed in conquering the Cangwu Immortal City, I intend to devour at least twenty Jade Immortals," said the Demon Emperor on the right.
The birth of Demon Emperors was the result of consuming countless demons. However, there was a distinct difference between devouring demons and immortals.
For Demon Emperors, devouring demons was merely a quantitative addition; for example, they could heal their injuries by consuming a large number of demons.
But devouring immortals was more akin to supplementing some aspect of themselves.
The Demon Emperors' instincts told them that the more immortals they devoured, the more complete they would become.
"Twenty immortals?" The Demon Emperor on the left growled, "I want twenty Jade Immortals as well."
"You may have the ordinary Jade Immortals, but the top-tier ones are mine," said the foremost Demon Emperor, joining the conversation.
Top-tier Jade Immortals provided greater benefits to the Demon Emperors, but they were also rarer and more challenging to deal with.
Years passed.
Under the leadership of the six Demon Emperors, an endless swarm of demons had arrived outside the Cangwu Immortal City.
The air was thick with twisted, evil demonic energy, and it was only then that the many immortals of the Cangwu Immortal City truly grasped the severity of their situation.
"The demons are here?"
"What do we do? I heard they've already conquered three immortal cities!"
"I have to get out of here!"
"Get out?
"Fellow immortals, the demons are right outside. To withstand this threat, we need the combined strength of all of us."
The voice of the City Lord resonated in the ears of all the immortals, "Now, channel all your magical powers and immortal energies into the ground beneath the Immortal City."
The massive Cangwu Immortal City, crafted and enhanced over generations by Jade Immortals, had long become a large-scale war artifact.
And to activate this mighty war artifact, the collective power of countless immortals was needed—only then could the true might of the Cangwu Immortal City be unleashed.
The strength of the Demon Emperors surpassed even the top-tier Jade Immortals. Coupled with the endless horde of demons, the only hope against them lay in the Cangwu Immortal City.
Only by harnessing the power of this colossal war artifact could they hope to withstand the onslaught of the Demon Emperors and the infinite demons.
The immortals within the city were keenly aware of the dire situation and did not hesitate to channel their magical powers and immortal energies into the city's foundation.
Rumble!
The enormous Cangwu Immortal City seemed to come alive, radiating a terrifying radiance that spread in all directions.
The countless demons at the outskirts who failed to retreat in time were instantly reduced to dust.
"Hmph, relying on the power of the Immortal City, old tricks."
Within the depths of the infinite demon horde, the six Demon Emperors gazed coldly at the city. With their combined might, they could even confront and suppress the Cangwu Immortal City head-on.
However, to ensure their own safety, they sent a vast number of demons to approach the city.
Millions, tens of millions, and even hundreds of millions of demons perished under the radiant light of the Immortal City, gradually eroding its foundation.
"Where are the Demon Emperors?"
Within the city, the City Lord and the other high-level leaders grew anxious.
With so many demons gathering outside the city, there must be Demon Emperors secretly commanding them. The final strike of the Immortal City was meant for those Demon Emperors.
Only by killing or severely injuring the Demon Emperors could there be any hope of victory; otherwise, as long as the Demon Emperors remained, they would continuously summon endless waves of demons to assault the city.
Time passed.
The endless horde of demons showed no signs of diminishing.
The City Lord and the other high-level leaders began to despair.
Just then—
A hazy black demonic aura quietly crept towards the city.
Six majestic figures appeared before the Cangwu Immortal City, raising their right hands to suppress it.
"Not good!"
The faces of the City Lord and the other leaders paled.
"Six Demon Emperors! There are six Demon Emperors!"
The City Lord sensed portions of the Cangwu Immortal City collapsing. The six Demon Emperors had hidden themselves, allowing the endless demons to wear down the city's defenses, only to strike the final, deadly blow.
"It's over."
Despair filled the City Lord's heart.
He even felt that if the six Demon Emperors hadn't held back to capture the city intact, it would have fallen long ago.
"Demons have breached the city!"
The City Lord looked downwards, where countless demonic auras were seeping through the walls.
"The demons are inside! Run!"
"Run? Where can we run? There are demons outside, and now they're inside too. Where can we escape to?"
"Since we can't escape, let's fight the demons!"
Chaos erupted within the Immortal City. Some immortals were filled with dread and uncertainty, while others remained resolute. A few even fled deeper into the city.
In the Abode Region.
Yun Zhenzi observed the situation throughout the entire Immortal City through the Abode Grand Array.
"Is the Immortal City about to fall?"
Yun Zhenzi's face turned pale as he gazed beyond the city walls at the six towering Demon Emperors and the endless tide of demons.
"Master."
"Quickly inform Master."
Before the appearance of the six Demon Emperors, the Cangwu Immortal City had held the upper hand against the infinite demon horde, killing any demons that dared to approach.
But now, with the six Demon Emperors taking action, the situation had reversed, and Yun Zhenzi realized that something terrible was about to unfold.
In the Cultivation Region.
Lin Yuan furrowed his brows.
"Is the Immortal City about to be breached?"
Upon receiving Yun Zhenzi's notification, Lin Yuan opened his eyes.
He felt that he was just a hair's breadth away from the seventh level of the Time and Space Realm. With just a few more years of seclusion, or perhaps even a few months, he would be able to step into an entirely new level within the Time and Space Domain.
"The situation has deteriorated so badly?"
Lin Yuan stood up, left the cultivation area, and joined Yun Zhenzi, observing the entire Immortal City through the Abode Grand Array.
"Master, what should we do now? There are six Demon Emperors out there." Yun Zhenzi's voice trembled slightly as he had experienced more than one war between immortals and demons, and he knew all too well the terror that the Demon Emperors brought.
They were existences that surpassed even the top-tier Jade Immortals.
"What should we do?"
Lin Yuan was in a foul mood. Glancing at the ashen-faced Yun Zhenzi, he extended his arm and casually grabbed towards the sky.
In that instant.
The endless sea of demons vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed. Outside the Cangwu Immortal City, the sky cleared, and all was still.
Yun Zhenzi's mouth hung open in shock.
Because in that moment, he clearly saw Lin Yuan grasp the countless demons and the six Demon Emperors with his hand.
Those six towering Demon Emperors, who had stood proudly, were now squeezed between Lin Yuan's fingers, not even amounting to a tenth of his size.
