Chapter 465 -288: Demon Corpse_3
“What is this…”
“Boom!”
Just as surprise arose, thunder roared.
Above the thunder clouds, there were Strongman beating thunder drums, Celestial Maidens looking into mirrors, and Mages waving Command Flags, and worshipping at the Mana Altar.
When the Taoists of Mingxiao joined forces, in an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared, sending down ten thousand bolts of lightning striking into Heavenly Demon City.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Thunderbolt after thunderbolt struck the array, setting off flames and cries of pain everywhere, plunging the entire Demon City into chaos. Countless disciples of the Demon Sect and demon corpse puppets were reduced to ashes under the might of the heavenly thunder, and even the strategic nodes of their formation were bombarded.
Over ten years, Heavenly Demon Holy City had been built into a war fortress. There were no ordinary civilians to speak of inside; only the disciples of the Demon Sect hailing from various Evil Paths and all kinds of demon corpse puppets. Any civilians that might have been there were long since taken away for blood sacrifices and Demon Transformations.
Therefore, when the Taoists cast their spells, they had no concerns, just bombarding wildly!
“Not good!”
Seeing this scene, Yan Qiuqiu and Luo Shentong immediately changed their expressions and immediately ordered, “Everyone, out of the formation, follow me to meet the enemy!”
No sooner said than done, they took the lead, rushing out of the formation with their troops.
Both could see clearly; now that the formations were locked in a stalemate, a war of attrition, the influence of such external forces became particularly significant. If they allowed their opponents to continue bombarding wildly like this, even the Heavenly Demon Array with all its deep potentiality would probably meet with a disastrous defeat in the end.
Formation against formation, man against man!
As the left and right envoys, the pinnacle of the Venerables, Yan Qiuqiu and Luo Shentong were unyielding and led the charge into battle.
Behind them, there were streaks of demonic light and shadows of blood, with Divine Intent from the Demon Sect, Venerables from various sects, and all kinds of demon corpse puppets.
From within White Jade Capital, radiance flowed and cultivators from each Scholar’s Palace flew out to meet the forces of the Demon Sect.
“Wandao School!”
Seeing this scene, Yan Qiuqiu and Luo Shentong both had frosty expressions.
There was no doubt that the number of cultivators from the Wandao School was higher than that of the Evil Path’s Demon Sect, especially at the third and fourth tiers. The exceptional figures listed on the Yuan Core and Golden Core rankings, as well as those on the Nascent Soul and Divine Bridge rankings of the Hidden Dragon List, totaled over ten thousand. They couldn’t catch up even if they rode at full speed.
Only at the fifth tier of Divine Intent could they slightly close the gap, but not by much. After the battle in the Heavenly Domain, the Wandao School had gained the forces of both Mispirit Sky Star and Heavenly Star Sect, adding several more wielders of Divine Intent to their ranks. In contrast, they had conducted another internal purge to prevent a repeat of the conflict between the two sects, eliminating several Venerables.
As one gained and the other lost, even in the realm of fifth-tier power, they had little advantage.
How could this be?
Biting their teeth, Yan Qiuqiu and Luo Shentong had made up their minds and covertly communicated with each other.
Then, from within Heavenly Demon Holy City, an abyss opened up with endless Demonic Qi rolling out. Four figures emerged, carrying intense Evil Qi and a deathly aura as well as an astonishing oppressive force, and they burst onto the battlefield.
“This…”
“Not good!”
“It’s the Demon God corpses!”
Seeing this, Bu Hongfu and two Divine Intent Venerables from the Heavenly Star Sect changed their expressions immediately.
As turncoats, the Mispirit Sect and Heavenly Star Sect certainly had to come forth and exert effort in this demon-slaying war to show their sincerity.
Although the three didn’t shirk their responsibility, a part of them felt uneasy because they knew well the underlying potential of the Demon Sect, especially these Demon God corpses!
Within the Heavenly Demon Great Skill lay a secret technique to refine demon corpses into puppets, akin to the Mysterious Iron Divine Weapons of the Heaven’s Calamity Slaying the Wolf.
But the upper limit of these demon corpse puppets was far higher than that of Mysterious Iron Divine Weapons, particularly these four Demon God corpses!
These four Demon God corpses were once supreme beings within the Demon Sect, experts of the Tribulation Realm!
Experts above the Divine Intent and of the Tribulation Realm!
Though turned into demon corpse puppets, and thus without Tribulation Realm Cultivation, they were still no less than the utmost pinnacle of Venerables, another deep-rooted foundation of the Demon Sect.
The battle had hardly begun when the opponents directly brought out this trump card—the equivalent of four utmost pinnacle Venerables entering the battlefield. With such might, how was Wandao School supposed to cope?
The three had no idea.
Although they had submitted their “declaration of allegiance” after the battle in the Heavenly Domain, ten short years were not enough to let them enter the inner circle of power. They were still mostly in the dark regarding many affairs of the School.
Just like with White Jade Capital, if it hadn’t been openly organized three months ago, they wouldn’t have known about such potentiality within the Wandao School.
But now, with White Jade Immortal City contending with the Heavenly Demon Array, could they spare the strength to confront these four Demon God corpses, comparable to the utmost pinnacle of Venerables?
The three were still unaware, but all tacitly changed direction, each picking a familiar opponent to fight, so as to avoid confronting the ferocious Demon God corpses.
The Demon God corpses paid no attention to the three, leading a great number of resurrected demon corpses from the Demon God Abyss straight towards White Jade Immortal City.
This was the key!
