Chapter 556: Total Offensive!
Chapter 556: Total Offensive!
The Ancestral Demon World.
Golden threads weaved together, forming an enormous array, at its center, a swirling gray vortex rose, and within it, a faint image of the Great Xuan World appeared, revealing the situation on the battlefield at the Northern City Gate.
Mang, Wang, and Hui, three True Demons, stood tall beside the array, observing the Northern City Gate through the gray vortex.
"Well?"
Hui gazed at the battlefield for a moment, then turned to Wang and asked.
Wang's purple eyes flickered with a hint of light as she replied, "The commotion has already grown so loud, yet no other beings from different races have appeared. Perhaps this world hasn't caught the attention of the major clans in the Vangu Empty Domain..." She paused, "But there is something strange. These uncultivated world beings have all embarked on the Void lineage, and to varying degrees, they have comprehended some of the mysteries of the Void."
"That's not surprising," Mang said calmly. "In an uncultivated world without a complete path to the Divine Realm, once they reach their limits, it's only natural for them to attempt to fathom the Primordial Dao. And it's extraordinary for any of them to grasp even a sliver of the Primordial Dao's mysteries. Moreover, the beings in this world are extremely crude in their use of the Void, and they haven't displayed any secret techniques, indicating they lack a complete inheritance."
Hui pondered for a moment before nodding, "Indeed, that's true."
If the world they faced was ruled by a major clan from the Vangu Empty Domain, even though the top-tier inheritances wouldn't be passed down, some ordinary Divine Realm secret techniques would still exist. Additionally, with some guidance from an inheritance, the utilization of the Primordial Dao's power shouldn't be so crude.
Furthermore, with the battle having escalated to this extent, and the commotion being so loud, the fact that no other alien beings have intervened means their previous worries were unfounded. This world is located in the most remote and obscure region of the Vangu Empty Domain, so it's not surprising that it hasn't attracted attention.
Just then, Wang turned her gaze towards Mang, observing his actions with a thoughtful expression. "Since that's the case, what are you still pondering?"
Mang glanced at Wang, his eyes cold and indifferent, but he didn't respond. Instead, he continued to observe the Great Xuan World.
His thoughts turned to Chen Mu, who had recently destroyed many of his hidden agents in the opposing world, disrupted the pre-arranged Creation Array, and even withstood his void strike without perishing.
At that time, Chen Mu had displayed strength undoubtedly equivalent to the Below Divine Rank Five, with an Immortal Heart Soul and a half-step into the Divine Realm. His strength far surpassed the human martial artists on the current battlefield.
However, for some unknown reason, Chen Mu still hadn't appeared.
Had he fled?
It wasn't impossible.
Although this uncultivated world was located in the remote outskirts of the Vangu Empty Domain, with Chen Mu's half-step into the Divine Realm, there was a chance he could escape through the Origin Site of the Vangu Empty Domain, and travel to other worlds within the domain!
"He fled, it seems he knows when to retreat," Mang thought coldly.
If Chen Mu had escaped through the Origin Site, Mang wouldn't have a good solution. With Chen Mu's talent, it wouldn't be difficult for him to enter the Divine Realm in the future, even after cultivating in an uncultivated world.
But Mang didn't overly concern himself with this. If Chen Mu had fled, he was nothing more than a stray dog. Even if he managed to enter the Divine Realm in the future, what could he do? Would he dare to seek revenge against Mang or their demon race?
Most likely, he would spend his entire life hiding and surviving under the shadow of their demon race.
Although a fugitive with some abilities and hatred towards the demon race could be considered an unstable factor, the demon race had encountered similar situations countless times. They had destroyed numerous worlds, even some with Divine Realm beings reaching the Fifth or Sixth Heaven.
Chen Mu was insignificant in comparison.
He was just a minor character from an uncultivated world.
"I had planned to send you off earlier, but since you've fled, I'll let you live under the shadow of our demon race," Mang said, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Then, he flicked his finger, and a faint light shot through the vortex, crossing the vast void and landing in the Great Xuan World.
This wasn't a direct attack, but a command he sent to the five Demon Generals he had dispatched—an order to start the total annihilation of the Great Xuan World without holding back!
Due to the presence of Chen Mu, who had reached the Below Divine Rank Five and was a half-step into the Divine Realm, Mang had sent his five most powerful subordinates—the five Demon Generals!
These Demon Generals were all Below Divine Rank Five, standing on the threshold of the Divine Realm.
They were the strongest forces Mang could mobilize.
The demon race had countless powerful elites, and even more formidable demons, such as those at the Below Divine Rank Six or Seven, were abundant. However, Mang didn't have the authority to mobilize them.
After all, those at the Below Divine Rank Six were already capable of challenging the Divine Realm. With their own strength, they could enter the Divine Realm and, after some cultivation, easily break through two heavens, reaching the level of Wang, Hui, and others.
In the world of cultivation, reaching the seventh or even eighth rank below the Divine Realm is an extraordinary feat, and those who can grasp the essence of the Primordial Dao before ascending to the Divine Realm are often disciples of the Heavenly Demons. As for those who have attained the Primordial Dao, they are undoubtedly the direct disciples of the Heavenly Demon Lord.
Being a direct disciple of the Heavenly Demon Lord grants them an even higher status. In this generation of the Demon Race, there exists an individual who has attained the Primordial Dao and is rumored to have already achieved dual ascension in both the Void and Time Paths. He has even cultivated a rudimentary form of the Time Dao, and once he breaks through to the Divine Realm, his strength will directly reach the Third Rank Heaven.
With a bit more cultivation, he will likely surpass the Fourth Rank Heaven and may even have a chance to glimpse the realms above the Seventh Rank Heaven.
To deal with Chen Yue, a being from an uncultivated world who knows no secret arts, they sent five Demon Generals, believing it to be more than enough to handle the situation.
They instructed the five Demon Generals not to take action yet and to wait for Chen Yue to appear on the battlefield before launching a swift attack, leaving no chance for escape. These five Demon Generals were all at the peak of the fifth rank below the Divine Realm, and with their secret techniques, they could even momentarily suppress a typical sixth-rank below the Divine Realm.
Against an opponent like Chen Yue, who possesses no secret arts, a single attack would be enough to annihilate him, leaving no chance for escape.
However, the battle had raged on, and Chen Yue had yet to appear, perhaps having truly fled this realm.
...
At the Northern City Gate, beyond the Celestial Defense Barrier, five silhouettes stood amidst the dim sky.
They were the five great Demon Generals of the Demon Race, their auras completely restrained as they gazed through the Celestial Defense Barrier, observing the battlefield.
"After fighting for so long, why is there still no sign of that person's shadow?"
One of the silhouettes rippled with a hint of cyan, a hint of impatience in their voice.
They had been informed that there was a being in this realm who had reached the fifth rank below the Divine Realm, almost stepping into the Divine Realm. They were ordered to ensure this person's immediate annihilation, but their figure remained elusive on the battlefield.
The Demon Generals deliberately controlled the situation, making it appear as a stalemate with a slight advantage on their side, intending to lure the opponent out. Yet, despite the intense battle, the person they sought remained unseen.
"Let's send another Demon Commander over. Give them some pressure and force him out."
A black silhouette spoke indifferently.
"Alright."
The other Demon Generals nodded in agreement.
In this cross-realm invasion, aside from the five Demon Generals, there were also twenty Demon Commanders in the Demon army.
The Array Formation at the Northern City Gate, aligned with the will of the Great Xuan World, had formed a formidable Celestial Defense Barrier. However, this barrier could not stop the five Demon Generals, who could easily send the Demon Commanders through.
With just four Demon Commanders, they managed to control the situation, and they refrained from sending more. Instead, they aimed to lure Chen Yue out and then launch a surprise attack. Yet, despite the intense battle, Chen Yue's shadow remained elusive.
Suddenly, one of the Demon Generals' auras intensified, preparing to send another Demon Commander through the Northern City Gate. At that moment, a beam of gray light streaked through the dim demon cloud, landing in their midst and releasing a powerful oppressive force.
The five Demon Generals immediately straightened up, their bodies materializing as they bowed respectfully.
"No need to hold back. Annihilate this realm."
From within the gray light, a detached voice, belonging to the Northern Defense King, echoed.
"Yes, sir!"
The five Demon Generals responded promptly.
As the gray light swiftly faded, the five Demon Generals exchanged glances. One of them, his voice indifferent, spoke:
"Finally, we don't have to play with these ants anymore!"
With those words, his entire body instantly transformed into a vast demon cloud, surging towards the direction of the Northern City Gate.
The other four Demon Generals didn't hesitate either. One of them, his voice calm, said:
"The Demon Lord has given the order. Let's take action swiftly."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!
As demonic energy surged, the four Demon Generals no longer restrained their auras. They concealed their forms and transformed into towering, terrifying demon-like bodies, rushing towards the distant Northern City Gate and the Celestial Defense Barrier.
...
Inside the Northern City Gate, thousands of Masters, over two hundred Blood Transformation Realm cultivators, and the Demon Race engaged in a grand battle on the vast icy plains.
The intensity of the fight caused the ice layer to shatter, sending ice shards flying in all directions. Some were engulfed by demonic energy, while others were covered by various fierce forces. Wind and thunder clashed, water and fire collided, and the very fabric of the realm trembled. Only the stronger barrier formed by the will of the heavens and earth prevented the void from completely collapsing.
Despite this, the sky above occasionally flashed with void rifts, especially during the battles of Gong Yang Yu, Chu Jing Su, and Mo Zun. Their clashes often caused the heavens to shake and the earth to shatter. A single strike of their blades and swords could tear through a thousand-meter stretch of land.
"Kill!"
Feng Hong Sheng wielded a spiritual long spear, slashing horizontally as he fought a fierce battle with an eighth-rank ancient demon. His body showed little blood, but some parts of his clothing had vanished, revealing skin that was dark and lifeless, exuding an aura of death. In the heat of battle, even a Master could be reduced to a mere soldier. Only by fighting with all their might, by striving for victory, could they find a glimmer of hope.
Despite Feng Hongsheng's status as an ordinary Grand Master and a senior member of the Seven Profound Sect, he was fortunate to have obtained a top-tier spirit armament and gained some insight into the Origin Map, barely achieving the strength of an elite Grand Master. However, when faced with an Eighth Rank Ancient Demon, he was still at a disadvantage, especially after the previous intense battles that had already weakened his aura. At this moment, he could only force himself to fight against the demon.
Suddenly, a streak of starlight tore through the sky, piercing the demonic energy and striking the Eighth Rank Ancient Demon in front of Feng Hongsheng. It was the Seven Profound Sect's spirit armament, the Shattering Star Arrow!
In the distance, Shi Zhenyong stood tall, covered in blood, holding the Moon Slaying Bow. He had just escaped from his own battle, as evidenced by the drops of blood still falling from his fingertips.
"Excellent!" Feng Hongsheng exclaimed as he witnessed Shi Zhenyong's arrow piercing the sky and wounding the Ancient Demon. His spirits soared, and he burst into laughter. With a fiery gaze in his eyes, he swung his long spear, igniting it with his own blood and life force.
This was not the Path of Fire, but a desperate move as he seized the opportunity while the Ancient Demon was distracted.
Boom!
The fiery spear slashed down, splitting the Ancient Demon in two!
"Hiss!" The Ancient Demon let out a shrill scream as its shattered body lunged frantically towards Feng Hongsheng, attempting to take him down with its dying breath.
Pfft!
Shi Zhenyong fired another arrow, piercing through half of the Ancient Demon's body, while Feng Hongsheng barely managed to block the other half with his spear. He stumbled backward for over a dozen zhang, joining Shi Zhenyong.
After a brief struggle, the Ancient Demon finally perished under their combined efforts.
"Thank you, Brother Shi," Feng Hongsheng said, heaving a sigh of relief.
Shi Zhenyong shook his head, not uttering a word. Normally, this would be a life-saving favor, and it was said that a great favor need not be acknowledged with words. But in the midst of the battlefield, where the situation could change in an instant, Feng Hongsheng had also helped Shi Zhenyong fend off the Demon Race's attacks earlier.
"These Demons just keep coming, and their numbers show no signs of diminishing. Who knows how many there truly are?" Shi Zhenyong said, adjusting his internal energy while gazing at the chaotic battlefield in the distance and the boundary of the Northern City Gate appeared in his eyes, worry filled his gaze.
"It can't be infinite," Feng Hongsheng took a deep breath, quickly adjusting his own energy. With a grin, he said, "Grand Masters as soldiers, Blood Transformation Experts as generals, how many opportunities will we have in this life to step onto such a battlefield? Even if we die in battle, it will not be in vain!"
Currently, they still maintained control of the battlefield, holding back the Demon Race's frontal assault. Although the absolute top-tier Celestial Beings like Gong Yang Yu and Gu Xiao Chen were all suppressed, the battle on that side was still undecided. As long as the front line could withstand the Demon Race, the Northern City Gate would not fall easily!
After stabilizing his aura, Feng Hongsheng didn't bother healing his injuries. He immediately lifted his long spear and charged forward again.
Shi Zhenyong, with an unwavering expression, followed close behind.
As a senior member and Grand Master of the Seven Profound Sect, all he could do was give his all on this battlefield.
However, as Feng Hongsheng and Shi Zhenyong continued to advance towards the front lines, a shocking change occurred!
Boom!
A deafening collision reverberated from the Heaven-Earth Barrier at the Northern City Gate, startling countless individuals on the battlefield. They all instinctively turned to look, only to reveal expressions of shock.
On the light curtain-like Heaven-Earth Barrier, an indescribably terrifying demon shadow slammed into it, causing the barrier to shatter into a spiderweb of cracks spanning several hundred zhang.
From the spiderweb-like cracks, a terrifying energy spread out, and massive faces emerged, squeezing through the cracks as if silently roaring and howling.
Each of these enormous faces exuded a pressure and aura no less formidable than that of Gong Yang Yu, Gu Xiao Chen, and others. They were all commanders of the Demon Race!
What shocked everyone even more was that on the shattered barrier, which resembled a spiderweb, the massive faces squeezing in were far more than just two or three. Even with a rough sense, there were at least ten of them, and their terrifying demonic might had already shaken the entire battlefield, causing countless martial artists to reveal looks of horror.
