A flicker of despair flashed in Su Wenxuan's eyes. He was about to burn his Spiritual Energy and fight to the death when a streak of Golden Light suddenly shot across the sky!
That light was so fast that even space rippled faintly, and the crowd couldn't even make out who was coming.
All they heard was a clear, resonant sword cry!
Hum—!
A condensed golden sword-light materialized out of thin air, faint wisps of Chaos Qi swirling around its surface.
Wherever it passed, the black Demonic Energy melted away like snow before fire.
The sword-light first struck precisely at the Thunder Demon Lord's massive fist. With a crisp crack, the Demon Lord's demonic bones shattered instantly, and the Black Thunderstorm collapsed abruptly!
Then, the sword-light split into four afterimages, streaking like meteors past the other three Demon Lords!
Before the four Demon Lords could even scream, their demonic bodies turned into drifting black ash under the sword-light!
One sword strike, four Demon Lords slain!
The Demonic Energy Cage lost its support and dissipated with a roar.
Only then could Su Wenxuan and the Second Elder catch their breath.
The two stood frozen in place, staring at the tall figure who had suddenly appeared, momentarily unable to react.
"You... are you Bai Ye?" The Second Elder rubbed his eyes, his voice trembling with disbelief.
He remembered that Bai Ye was only at Late Profound Comprehension, but the power of that sword strike just now—let alone Profound Comprehension, even a Peak Nascent Soul cultivator could never have done it!
The force contained in that sword-light even gave him a pressure he had never felt from a Tribulation Crossing cultivator!
Bai Ye nodded, his tone calm. "Second Elder, it's me."
He took two lustrous white porcelain bottles from his storage ring and handed them over. "These are Saint-grade Top-tier 'Demon Purifying Healing Pills.' They can purge the Demonic Energy from your bodies and repair your Dao Body's injuries. Take them first."
Su Wenxuan took the bottle. The moment he opened the stopper, an incredibly pure surge of Spiritual Energy rushed toward him.
The pills were a flawless white, with faint golden spiritual light shimmering on their surface. Just one sniff calmed the churning Demonic Energy inside him.
His heart shook with awe. These were Saint-grade Top-tier pills—even the entire Azure State might not have a single one!
And Bai Ye had casually taken out two bottles!
Such a display of wealth was truly staggering.
Their injuries were severe, so they didn't dare dwell on it. They quickly swallowed the pills.
The pills dissolved on their tongues, and a warm medicinal power slid down their throats, nourishing their damaged Dao Bodies like spring rain.
Soon, the black Demonic Energy was slowly forced out of their bodies, dissipating as wisps of black smoke.
Just then.
The Demonic Energy inside the Main Fissure suddenly churned violently, and a pressure ten times stronger than before descended!
"ROAR—!"
A demonic figure five zhang tall strode out of the fissure. Its body was covered in dark purple scales, each etched with eerie Demonic Patterns!
Within those Demonic Patterns, a strange dark-red flame even flickered!
In its hand, it held a massive Bone Staff, topped with a fist-sized Black Demon Crystal. The Demonic Energy radiating from that crystal could even warp the space around it!
This was unmistakably a Tribulation Crossing Realm Devil King!
"A Tribulation Crossing Devil King!"
The voice of Li Canglan, Sect Master of the Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect, rang out.
He held a Golden Long Spear—a Saint-grade Low-tier spiritual artifact.
Wielding the spear, its shaft glowing with sacred light, he was leading five Peak Nascent Soul cultivators to hold off over a dozen Demon Lords.
But the gap between Tribulation Crossing and Nascent Soul was too vast. The Devil King merely swung its Bone Staff, and a wave of black demonic flame swept out. Three Nascent Soul cultivators were instantly devoured, turning to ash without even a scream!
Li Canglan barely blocked the flame with his spear, but was knocked back several steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Fine cracks even appeared on the Golden Long Spear!
"Canglan, fall back!"
An aged but authoritative voice rang out. An old man in a White Daoist Robe rushed over from deep within the Holy City.
His hair and beard were snow-white, but his spirit was vigorous, and his body radiated the pressure of Tribulation Crossing Third Layer. This was Xuan Ji Zi, the Supreme Elder of the Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect.
In his hand, he held a Dust Whisk, its strands woven from Heavenly Silkworm Silk mixed with Divine Crystal Fragments—a Saint-grade High-tier spiritual artifact.
Xuan Ji Zi raised his hand and swept the whisk. The strands turned into countless Golden Threads, cascading like a waterfall to entangle the Devil King's Bone Staff, trying to bind its movements.
"You seek death!"
The Devil King roared. The demon crystal on its staff erupted with fierce demonic flame, colliding with the Golden Threads.
BOOM! A thunderous crash.
If you find this book good, to avoid losing it next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf.
The Golden Threads and demonic flame both dissipated at once. Xuan Ji Zi was knocked back three steps, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
The Devil King was also scorched by the golden threads, several scales peeling from his chest to reveal the dark red demonic flesh beneath.
The two then launched into a brutal battle.
Half an hour later, Xuan Ji Zi finally seized an opening.
With the Devil King suppressed by the Holy City's formation, he channeled all his Spiritual Energy into the Dust Whisk. The whisk strands abruptly swelled, transforming into a Golden Longsword that pierced clean through the Devil King's chest!
The Devil King let out a piercing shriek as his demonic body crashed to the ground, dissolving into a skyful of Demonic Energy that scattered into the air.
Xuan Ji Zi staggered, bracing himself against a nearby Stone Pillar, his face pale as paper. Most of the Dust Whisk's strands had snapped; he was clearly at the end of his strength.
"We won! The Supreme Elder won!"
The surviving cultivators erupted in cheers, smiles of relief spreading across their faces.
But the celebration had barely begun when three more terrifying auras surged from the Main Fissure!
Three Devil Kings stepped out of the rift at once!
The combined pressure of the three Devil Kings made it hard for every cultivator present to breathe, their Spiritual Energy unable to circulate at all.
The cultivators' faces turned deathly pale, their bodies trembling. "There are three more... and one of them is Late Tribulation Crossing!"
The Supreme Elder of the Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect was already gravely wounded—they had no strength left to resist!
The surrounding cultivators retreated, despair flooding their eyes.
"Everyone, do not panic! The Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect has not yet exhausted its strength!"
Xuan Ji Zi's voice rang out as he retrieved a Golden Token from his storage ring and infused it with Spiritual Energy.
Soon, three auras at the Tribulation Crossing Realm surged from deep within the Holy City!
Three elders clad in Golden Battle Armor arrived swiftly—all of them Old Ancestors of the Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect!
These three Old Ancestors had been stationed at the core of the Demon Extermination Holy City all along.
Their cultivations were Tribulation Crossing Second Layer, Tribulation Crossing Third Layer, and Tribulation Crossing Fourth Layer, respectively.
At the same time, Xuan Ji Zi raised his hand and swept it through the air. The Giant Altar at the center of the Holy City suddenly blazed to life, and a Golden Light Pillar shot into the sky!
A massive Golden Giant Sword Shadow, a hundred zhang long, slowly coalesced into view.
It was the Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect's Sect-protecting Sacred Artifact—the Demon Extermination Sacred Sword!
"Activate the Sacred Artifact!"
Xuan Ji Zi roared, and the Nascent Soul Realm elders simultaneously poured in their Spiritual Energy.
The Golden Giant Sword Shadow instantly solidified, radiating a sacred aura that suppressed all Demonic Beasts!
Runes flickered across the sword's body, and even the surrounding Demonic Energy was forced back, afraid to draw near.
An even more ferocious battle erupted.
Golden holy light and black Demonic Energy clashed without cease. Shockwaves blasted the surrounding rocks to powder, and the battlefield swept across all directions!
It was as if heaven and earth themselves were being shattered!
After more than an hour, with the combined might of the Sacred Artifact and the four elders, the three Devil Kings were finally slain.
The Demonic Energy gradually dissipated. The surviving cultivators collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
Cheers rang out across the Holy City!
But before they could celebrate, a clear sound of footsteps came from the Main Fissure—
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
With each step, the entire Holy City trembled faintly.
The Demonic Energy in the Abyssal Fissures seemed to come alive, surging in rhythm with the footsteps, forming waves of black.
The smiles on everyone's faces froze instantly. They looked up toward the fissure, their eyes filled with terror.
A massive figure, twenty meters tall, slowly emerged from the rift.
His demonic body was covered in dark golden scales, densely inscribed with Ancient Demonic Runes. Dark red demonic blood flowed through the runes, exuding a suffocating pressure!
Two curved giant horns grew from his head, wrapped in black thunder. His eyes were like two enormous Red Demonic Crystals.
Wherever his gaze swept, even space itself seemed about to freeze!
He carried no weapon, yet merely standing there made even the Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivators present feel their legs go weak!
This was none other than a Demon God at the True God Realm!
"Tr... True God Realm!"
Xuan Ji Zi's face was deathly pale, his lips trembling, his eyes filled with utter despair.
