The First Battle of the Demonic Beast Uprising

At this moment, within the territory of the Yan Kingdom, which also belongs to the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World.

At the edge of Serpent Dragon Lake, after gathering over the past six months, nearly 300,000 Demon Beast have now gathered.

Among these Demon Beast, the three strongest Golden Core Initial Stage Demon Beast roared loudly as they saw snowflakes falling from the sky, leading this massive herd of nearly 300,000 Demon Beast out of the Serpent Dragon Lake area and rushing towards the nearest West Yang Market Town.

This commotion alarmed the cultivators stationed at West Yang Market Town.

At noon, in West Yang Market Town.

The sound of three enormous bronze bells rang out from the depths of the market.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Immediately afterwards, a huge red light screen appeared, enveloping the entire West Yang Market Town.

In a quiet room in the backyard of the Lingxiao Treasure Pavilion, the only establishment opened by the Ling Clan in West Yang Market Town.

Ling Yunhong, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed and meditating, was startled by the sound of three bronze bells coming from the outside.

He quickly opened his eyes, frowned, and muttered to himself.

"According to the notice posted by the Hundred Spirits Sect cultivators in the market a month ago."

"The three tolls of the bronze bell signal the arrival of the Demon Beast Uprising, when the enormous Demon Beast within the Serpent Dragon Lake region will break out."

With his thoughts returning to the present, in order to avoid delaying the battle and incurring the wrath of the Hundred Spirits Sect, Ling Yunhong quickly got up, left the quiet room, and summoned the thirty-one clansmen who had followed him to West Yang Market Town more than a month ago and were temporarily residing in the Treasure Pavilion to participate in the defense of West Yang Market Town.

Of these 31 clansmen, 30 were Qi Refining stage cultivators, and the other was Ling Pengxing, a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Ling clan.

If we include Ling Yunhong, there will be a total of thirty-two people.

Once all the clansmen were gathered, he led them away from the Treasure Pavilion and headed along the main road to the south South City Wall of West Yang Market Town, where they had been assigned to guard a month earlier by the Hundred Spirits Sect.

Ling Yunhong led his Lineage up a very tall stone staircase to the top of the South City Wall, which was hundreds of feet high and nearly a thousand feet wide. They were then pulled together by Luo Minghui, the Clan Head the Falling Dusk Luo Clan clan, who was already waiting there. Together they occupied a small area on the city wall.

Also located in this small area are the other three major Foundation Establishment Family of Huai River County: the Azure Bamboo Wang Clan, the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan, and the Cloud Mist Wen Clan.

The members of the Five Great Clans had agreed to stick together a month ago.

After meeting up with the other Lineage of Huai River County at the South City Wall, Ling Yunhong, as the Clan Head, began to call on his family's cultivators to prepare for battle and take out their Law Artifact.

At the same time, Ling Yunhong waved his hand and patted the Storage Bag at his waist, summoning eighteen Azure Bamboo Sword from it.

Having accomplished this task, he glanced around and was immediately startled to see that each of the four city walls of West Yang Market Town was guarded by more than 7,000 Qi Refining cultivators and more than 50 Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"Unexpectedly, the Hundred Spirits Sect has gathered nearly 30,000 cultivators to guard West Yang Market Town."

"The number of cultivators in this number is one or two times greater than the number of cultivators that the Hundred Spirits Sect summoned eleven years ago to participate in the battle to exterminate demons and seize the territory of the Serpent Dragon Lake."

"From another perspective, it highlights the perilous nature of this Demon Beast Uprising."

Ling Yunhong thought to himself.

The main reason why there are so many cultivators stationed in West Yang Market Town this time is that the Hundred Spirits Sect is serious this time.

During the nearly three-month period of recruiting cultivators in West Yang Market Town, most of the sect's cultivators were dispatched to search for Rogue Cultivator throughout the territory. Once Rogue Cultivator was found, regardless of whether they agreed or not, they were directly captured and brought into West Yang Market Town.

This also resulted in at least 70% of the nearly 30,000 cultivators stationed in West Yang Market Town during this Demon Beast Uprising being Rogue Cultivator from the Hundred Spirits Sect territory.

Among these Rogue Cultivator, the vast majority only have the Early-Stage Qi Training of Qi Refining.

Although the strength of a Rogue Cultivator in the Early-Stage Qi Training Refining is low, they are still a force to be reckoned with.

As for why these Rogue Cultivator didn't flee, it was because the entire Northern Wilderness Cultivation World was currently facing Boundless Great Swamp teeming with thirsty Demon Beast.

During the battle to exterminate the demons, these Rogue Cultivator could escape to other sects within the Yan Kingdom or even flee to other Great Country, but this time they cannot.

No matter where they are, they will be forced to resist the Demon Beast by the major powers within their territory.

A while later.

At the heart of the market, two cultivators took to the air and quickly landed in the center of the South City Wall.

The two cultivators who could use the technique of flying through the void were naturally Mo Congxin, the Spirit Array True Person, and Wu Tian, Spirit Talisman True Person, who were stationed in West Yang Market Town.

As soon as the two Golden Core True Person reached the top of the city wall, the four Foundation Establishment Completion cultivators of the Hundred Spirits Sect, who were counting the number of cultivators stationed on the four sides of the city wall in the market, sent Communication Talisman to the two Golden Core True Person cultivators.

The Communication Talisman said that all the cultivators who participated in the battle on the city walls had arrived.

Mo Congxin, a highly skilled Spirit Array True Person, received the signal and used Sound Amplification Technique to shout loudly.

"The Demon Beast from the Serpent Dragon Lake region are rushing towards this place."

"This place is only a few dozen miles from Serpent Dragon Lake. In one or two hours, the army of Demon Beast will arrive."

"It is quite good that you all managed to arrive at your respective posts on the city wall within half a cup of tea's time after the warning bell rang three times."

"I ask for your full assistance in the upcoming battle to defend West Yang Market Town."

"If this city falls, at least 70% of your nearly 30,000 cultivators, whether they are Qi Training Stage or Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, will become food for those Demon Beast."

"And at least half of my Hundred Spirits Sect's territory will be captured in a short period of time."

"Under these circumstances, even if you manage to escape after this city falls, you will likely find it difficult to leave the occupied area safely."

Therefore, this city is one we must defend.

"Of course, Demon Beast you slay while you are stationed here can be handed over to my Hundred Spirits Sect in exchange for Contribution Points."

"The ratio of handing over Demon Beast corpses to Contribution Points, and the spiritual items that Contribution Points can be exchanged for, I'm sure you've all seen in the notices posted in the market, so I won't go into details."

Upon hearing this, the nearly 30,000 cultivators stationed on the four walls of West Yang Market Town displayed various expressions.

After waiting for more than an hour, the group finally witnessed the Demon Beast's attack.

Led by the Golden Core Water Flood Dragon, the overlord of Serpent Dragon Lake, and two Golden Core Demon Tigers and Golden Core Demon Wolves that came from the White Cloud Mountain Range, nearly 300,000 Demon Beast stirred up towering yellow dust and charged towards West Yang Market Town.

The sheer number of Demon Beast startled the cultivators stationed at West Yang Market Town.

When the nearly 300,000 Demon Beast entered within three miles of West Yang Market Town, the Golden Core Water Flood Dragon, Golden Core Demonic Tiger, and Golden Core Demonic Wolf, leading the massive horde of Demon Beast, charged towards West Yang Market Town, and the three launched the first attack.

The Water Flood Dragon roared loudly, and specks of blue spiritual light appeared around its body.

In a short while, those blue spiritual lights transformed into hundreds of foot-long water blades.

The other two red-haired demon tigers and demon wolves spewed out streams of flames and wind blades, respectively.

Hundreds of water blades, hundreds of wind blades, and vast swathes of flame swept across the light barrier protecting West Yang Market Town, creating waves of Ripples Marketplace.

The two Golden Core demon tigers and wolves, unfamiliar with the methods of the Hundred Spirits Sect, were enraged when they saw that their Law Technique attacks could not break through the defensive light barrier protecting West Yang Market Town in a short time. They transformed into streaks of light and rushed towards West Yang Market Town.

They wanted to use their strongest physical attacks to bombard the defensive light barrier protecting West Yang Market Town.

At this moment, on the South City Wall.

Seeing this, Spirit Array True Person Mo Congxin spoke to Spirit Talisman True Person Wu Tian, who was standing to the side.

"Junior Nephew Wu, as we agreed before the battle, you need to use the three Golden Core Initial Stage puppets from the sect to temporarily hold off the early-stage Golden Core Water Flood Dragon whose strength is comparable to that of Golden Core Middle Stage Golden Core Golden Core Initial Stage cultivator. The other Golden Core Initial Stage demon tiger and demon wolf are to be handed over to me."

"Okay." Wu Tian nodded solemnly.

"Make your move. The Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword Grand Formation is a killing formation. The Transformed Defense Light Screen is not strong. If we allow those two Golden Core demon tigers and demon wolves to attack with their bodies and that Water Flood Dragon to bombard us with water blades, it won't be long before this light barrier created by the Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword Grand Formation is shattered." Mo Congxin frowned and said.

After saying that, Mo Congxin made a hand Hand Seals into the array plate he was holding tightly in his hand.

This array plate flashed with inspiration.

Immediately afterwards, the huge light screen protecting the entire West Yang Market Town suddenly flashed and transformed into streams of pure spiritual energy.

These essences, as if possessing a consciousness, frantically gathered together.

The two incredibly fast Golden Core Demon and Wolf Demon, which traversed nearly three miles in an instant, were overjoyed to see the light barrier protecting West Yang Market Town dissipate on its own. They quickened their pace, eager to rush into West Yang Market Town and prey on the cultivators for a hearty meal.

But in that instant, nine Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword, each thirty feet long and formed from the power of ultimate yang, suddenly shot out from within the West Yang Market Town.

Although there were two Golden Core Demon Beast rushing towards them, the nine enormous Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword did not separate, but instead attacked together the Golden Core demonic wolf with the weaker aura and only the Golden Core First Layer cultivation.

Although those nine Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword were large in size, they were not slow at all.

In less than half a breath, the nine Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword had already reached the face of the Golden Core demon wolf.

The Golden Core demon wolf sensed the aura emanating from the nine Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword that had reached its face, and its fur stood on end.

He quickly activated his Protective Yuan Qi, and finally managed to erect a cyan light barrier just as the nine Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword were about to fall, temporarily blocking the nine enormous Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword.

But in the blink of an eye, cracks appeared on the blue light screen erected by the wolf demon.

The next moment, the azure light barrier was shattered into fragments by the bombardment of the nine Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword and vanished from the world.

The nine Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword, each over thirty feet long, had also consumed a considerable amount of power, and their shimmering spiritual light had dimmed somewhat.

With only half its remaining strength, the nine Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword charged straight in, attacking the wolf demon's body.

Upon seeing this, the Golden Core Wolf Demon's expression turned to terror. If those nine flying swords were to strike its body, it would surely be doomed.

Forced by the perilous situation, this Golden Core Demon Wolf only needed to release its inner core, which had been nurtured for seven or eight hundred years and was comparable to an ordinary Third Rank Low Grade Law Artifact, to meet the nine Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword were attacking it.

"Clang!"

Nine blazing shards of yang energy struck the wolf demon's inner core, producing a series of metallic clanging sounds.

After a few breaths of stalemate, the spiritual light flashing on the wolf demon's inner core, which was resisting the nine Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword, suddenly dimmed.

With a cracking sound, the wolf demon's inner core was blasted into pieces by the nine Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword.

Immediately afterwards, the nine Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword, each with one-tenth of their remaining power, cleaved the Golden Core Wolf Demon's body into several pieces.

With this strike, the nine Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword also exhausted their remaining power and dissipated.

The Golden Core Demon, which had just rushed to the South City Wall of West Yang Market Town, panicked when it saw that the Golden Core Wolf Demon, which was not much weaker than itself, had been killed so easily. It quickly activated its inner Inner Core Divine Power and erected a red light barrier around itself in case of any changes.

Some of them had already decided to retreat, intending to return to the main force of the Demon Beast Demon Beast attack the city together with them.

During that brief moment of hesitation, Mo Congxin, standing atop the South City Wall, took out a large pile of spirit stones, amounting to tens of thousands of Spirit Stone, from his Storage Bag.

With the power of these tens of thousands of Spirit Stone, the Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword Grand Formation was reactivated.

It is naturally impossible to condense the Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword, which requires the power of extreme Yang, by relying on the power of the Spirit Stone.

It is possible to use the power of Spirit Stone to support the defensive light barrier of the Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword.

Instantly, a red light curtain reappeared, protecting West Yang Market Town.

That Golden Core demon also missed its chance to attack.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Congxin opened his mouth and spat out thirty-six Blazing Sun Extinguishing World Array Flag.

As soon as these thirty-six World-Destroying Banners of Words appeared outside, they quickly surrounded the Golden Core Demon beneath the South City Wall, conjuring countless blazing sun flames that engulfed its body.

On the other side.

Spirit Talisman True Person Wu Tian was also wielding a Third Rank Low Grade flying sword, using his Divine Sense to control three black puppets, each five zhang tall and in the Golden Core Initial Stage realm, as they were locked in combat with an ice dragon in the Golden Core Initial Stage three miles away.

Although Wu Tian's strength was low, only at the Golden Core First Layer, he was still able to put up a fight against the powerful Water Flood Dragon with the help of his three puppets, which Golden Core Initial Stage stage.

After a while, among the nearly 300,000 Demon Beast, the tens of thousands of Demon Beast at the forefront also entered the area within a mile of West Yang Market Town.

One li is the distance that Qi Refining cultivator's Divine Sense can cover.

The thousands of cultivators stationed on the South City Wall, who were closest to the group of Demon Beast, also launched their own attacks to bombard the attacking Demon Beast.

The tens of thousands of Demon Beast charging at the forefront were not just standing there taking hits; they also unleashed their Law Technique, conjuring up attacks.

However, the Law Technique cast by these Demon Beast were temporarily blocked by the defensive light barrier erected by the Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword.

After a while, there were too many Demon Beast gathered under the south gate of West Yang Market Town. At least tens of thousands of Demon Beast were too far back and too far from West Yang Market Town to Law Technique that could bombard the defensive light barrier erected by the Blazing Sun Sky Sword Formation.

These Demon Beast weren't stupid; they quickly scattered in five waves.

Four waves of Demon Beast attacked the east, south, west, and north walls of West Yang Market Town respectively.

Another wave of Demon Beast bypassed West Yang Market Town and ventured deep into the territory of the Hundred Spirits Sect.

The cultivators stationed in West Yang Market Town saw this scene, but they were powerless to stop it and could only let the nearly 60,000 Demon Beast penetrate deep into the territory of the Hundred Spirits Sect.
