Even a heaven-spanning calamity of slaughter, in which the Ten Thousand Slaughter True Spirit could appear at any moment, threatened not only those at the Immortal Lord level. Even if a Heavenly Emperor came, he could still meet with disaster amid the upheaval.
A chance to seize the opportunity could appear at any moment, but the risks were immense. Even these old monsters could not help feeling increasingly torn.
They had hesitated before, but at least there had still been room to retreat. Now they had one foot planted in life and the other in death.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Countless demons outside had been infected by the killing intent, and most of them attacked Lu Xiaotian with everything they had.
A small portion had also had their minds stolen by the killing intent, becoming monsters who knew nothing but slaughter. They were entirely unconscious as they attacked the demons around them who still retained their reason, or the Immortal Army.
To these creatures, any living being who still possessed reason was an irredeemable aberration. Once they had killed all such aberrations, these Slaughter Realm spirits would turn on one another until not a single living creature remained.
When the aura of slaughter grew strong enough, even someone of Lu Xiaotian's cultivation began to suffer injuries. At any moment, he could lose control of his own body.
If the Thousand Tribulations Punishment Lord and the others were drawn completely into the vortex, their odds of perishing here would be alarmingly high. How could these old monsters not be wary?
Lu Xiaotian no longer needed to deliberately control the Azure Dragon phantoms on either side to attack his enemies. The Slaughter Realm spirits around him could affect his mind, but they could just as easily affect the minds of countless low-level demons.
