A hint of despair flashed through Su Wenxuan's eyes. Just as he was about to burn his Spiritual Energy and fight to the death, a golden streak of light suddenly shot across the horizon!
The streak of light was unbelievably fast. Even space rippled faintly in its wake, and no one had even seen the newcomer's appearance clearly.
All they heard was a clear, ringing sword cry!
Buzz—!
A condensed golden sword light appeared out of thin air, faint Chaos Qi swirling across its surface!
Wherever it passed, the black Demonic Energy melted away like snow under the sun.
The sword light first struck Thunder Demon Lord's massive fist with pinpoint accuracy. With a crisp crack, Thunder Demon Lord's Demon Bone shattered instantly, and the Black Thunderstorm abruptly collapsed!
Then, the sword light transformed into four splitting shadows, streaking like meteors past the other three Devil Masters!
The four Devil Masters did not even have time to scream before their Demon Bodies turned into clouds of black ash within the sword light!
One sword had annihilated four Devil Masters!
The Demonic Energy Cage lost its support and exploded apart.
Only then could Su Wenxuan and the Second Elder catch their breath.
The two stood dazed in place, staring at the tall, slender figure who had appeared out of nowhere. For a moment, they had even forgotten how to react.
"Y-You're Bai Ye?" The Second Elder rubbed his eyes, his voice trembling with disbelief.
He remembered that Bai Ye had clearly only been at the Late Profound Comprehension stage. Yet the power of that sword just now was something not even a Nascent Soul Cultivator, let alone someone at the Late Profound Comprehension stage, could possibly achieve!
The power contained within that sword light had even made him feel a pressure beyond anything a Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivator could produce!
Bai Ye nodded and said calmly, "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 cleanse the Demonic Energy within your bodies and repair injuries to your Dao Bodies. Take them first."
Su Wenxuan accepted the porcelain bottle. The instant he opened it, an extremely pure Spiritual Energy rushed toward his face.
The pills were entirely lustrous white, faint golden spiritual light swirling around their surfaces. Merely inhaling their fragrance caused the Demonic Energy roiling within his body to calm somewhat.
He was utterly shaken. These were Saint-grade Top-tier Pills—perhaps the entire Azure State could not produce them!
Yet Bai Ye had casually taken out two bottles!
Such generosity was truly astonishing.
The two were too severely injured to think about anything else and hurriedly swallowed the pills.
The pills melted as soon as they entered their mouths. A warm medicinal force slid down their throats and into their bodies, nourishing their damaged Dao Bodies like spring rain.
Very soon, the black Demonic Energy was slowly forced out of their bodies by the medicinal force, turning into wisps of black smoke that dispersed.
Just then.
The Demonic Energy within the Main Fissure suddenly churned violently, and a pressure ten times stronger than before descended without warning!
"Roar—!"
A five-zhang-tall demonic shadow slowly walked out of the fissure. Its Demon Body was covered in dark-purple scales, and every scale was engraved with strange Demonic Runes!
Even within the Demonic Runes, strange dark-red flames leaped and flickered!
It held a massive Bone Staff in its hand. A Black Demon Crystal the size of a fist was embedded in the top of the staff, and the Demonic Energy it radiated was actually capable of twisting the surrounding space!
This was unmistakably a Demon King of the Tribulation Crossing Realm!
"A Tribulation Crossing Realm Demon King!"
The voice of Li Canglan, Sect Master of Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect, rang out.
He held a Golden Long Spear, a Saint-grade Low-tier spiritual artifact.
With the spear in hand and sacred light swirling around its shaft, he was leading five Peak Nascent Soul cultivators in resisting more than a dozen Devil Masters.
But the gap between the Tribulation Crossing Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm was simply too great. The Demon King that had appeared first merely waved its Bone Staff, and black demonic flames swept outward. Three Nascent Soul Cultivators were instantly swallowed by the demonic flames and reduced to flying ash without even managing to scream!
Li Canglan barely blocked the demonic flames with his spear, but the impact forced him back repeatedly, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Fine cracks had even appeared on the Golden Long Spear!
"Canglan, stand down!"
An aged yet authoritative voice rang out. An old man in a White Daoist Robe sped over from the depths of the Holy City.
The old man's beard and hair were completely white, yet he was full of vitality. The pressure of the Tribulation Crossing Third Layer swirled around him. He was none other than Xuan Ji Zi, the Supreme Elder of Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect.
He held a Dust Whisk in his hand. Its strands had been woven from Heavenly Silkworm Silk mixed with Divine Crystal Fragments, making it a Saint-grade High-tier spiritual artifact.
Xuan Ji Zi raised his hand and swept it outward. The Dust Whisk's strands transformed into countless Golden Threads, winding around the Demon King's Bone Staff like a waterfall in an attempt to restrain its movements.
"You're courting death!"
The Demon King let out an angry roar. The Demonic Crystal atop the Bone Staff erupted with fierce demonic flames, colliding with the Golden Threads.
"Boom!" A thunderous explosion rang out.
The Golden Threads and demonic flames collapsed simultaneously. Xuan Ji Zi was knocked three steps backward, a trace of blood leaking from the corner of his mouth.
The Demon King had also been scorched by the Golden Threads. Several scales on its chest had fallen away, revealing the dark-red demonic flesh beneath.
The two immediately launched into a brutal battle.
Half an hour later, Xuan Ji Zi finally seized an opportunity.
The Demon King had been suppressed by the Holy City's formation. He poured all his Spiritual Energy into the Dust Whisk, causing its strands to swell abruptly and transform into a Golden Longsword that pierced straight through the Demon King's chest!
The Demon King let out a shrill, tragic scream. Its Demon Body collapsed with a crash, turning into a vast expanse of Demonic Energy that dispersed.
Xuan Ji Zi also staggered and braced himself against the stone pillar beside him. His face was pale as paper, and more than half of the Dust Whisk's strands had snapped. Clearly, he too was at the end of his strength.
"We won! The Supreme Elder won!"
The surviving cultivators cheered one after another, smiles of having survived a calamity appearing on their faces.
But before the cheers had lasted long, three more terrifying auras suddenly emerged from the Main Fissure!
The figures of three Demon Kings simultaneously walked out of the fissure!
The pressure of the three Demon Kings stacked together, making every cultivator present feel short of breath, unable to circulate even the slightest bit of Spiritual Energy!
The cultivators' faces turned deathly pale, their entire bodies trembling. "There are actually three more... and one of them is at the Late Tribulation Crossing stage!"
The Supreme Elder of Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect was already heavily wounded. They had no means of resisting at all!
The surrounding cultivators retreated one after another, their eyes filled with despair.
"Everyone, do not panic! Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect has yet to show its full strength!"
Xuan Ji Zi's voice rang out. He took a Golden Token from his Storage Ring and infused it with Spiritual Energy.
Very soon, three auras of the Tribulation Crossing Realm came from the depths of the Holy City!
Three old men in Golden Battle Armor sped over. All of them were ancestors of Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect!
Previously, these three ancestors had been stationed at the core of Demon Extermination Holy City.
Their cultivation levels were the 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 outward. The Giant Altar at the center of the Holy City suddenly lit up, and a golden pillar of light shot into the heavens!
A Golden Giant Sword Shadow a hundred zhang long slowly took shape.
It was none other than Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect's Sect-protecting Sacred Artifact, the "Demon Extermination Sacred Sword"!
"Activate the Sacred Artifact!"
Xuan Ji Zi shouted. 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 flashed across the sword's body. Even the surrounding Demonic Energy was suppressed, not daring to approach.
An even more brutal battle erupted.
Golden sacred light and black Demonic Energy collided constantly. Shock waves blasted the surrounding rocks into powder, sweeping across the battlefield in all directions!
It was as though even heaven and earth were about to be shattered!
After more than an hour, with the combined strength of the Sacred Artifact and the four elders, the three Demon Kings were finally slain.
The Demonic Energy gradually dispersed. The surviving cultivators collapsed onto the ground, gasping heavily.
Cheers rang out across the sky above the Holy City!
But before they had time to celebrate, clear footsteps suddenly came from the Main Fissure—
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
With every step that landed, the entire Holy City trembled faintly.
The Demonic Energy within the Abyssal Fissures seemed to have been given life. It surged slowly to the rhythm of the footsteps, forming waves of black tides.
The smiles on everyone's faces instantly froze. They looked up at the fissure one after another, their eyes filled with terror.
A huge figure twenty meters tall slowly walked out of the fissure.
His Demon Body was covered in dark-golden scales. Dense Ancient Demonic Runes were engraved across them, and dark-red Demon Blood flowed within the runes, radiating a suffocating pressure!
Two enormous curved horns grew from his head, black Thunderstorms coiling around them. His eyes resembled two enormous Red Demonic Crystals.
Wherever his gaze swept, even space seemed as though it might freeze!
He held no weapon, yet merely standing there made the legs of every Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivator present turn weak!
This was unmistakably a Demon God of the True God Realm!
"T-True God Realm!"
Xuan Ji Zi's face turned deathly pale. His lips trembled, and his eyes filled with despair.
