Demon Plane Invasion
Everyone stared in shock at the scene unfolding before them. They didn't know what was wrong with Yuanen Yehui, but judging from her strange demeanor and the sudden appearance of the enormous Light Gate, they could all tell that something was definitely not normal.
However, all of this happened too fast. From the transformation of Yuanen Yehui to the condensation of the Light Gate, it was all over in an instant. Even if Long Yeyue wanted to stop it, it was already too late.
Around the Light Gate, concentric circles of dark purple light rippled outwards, accompanied by a deep and majestic voice. "My people, my messenger, you have done well. You have opened the passage to the Demon World."
Everyone on the Shrek Academy ruins heard those words clearly. Although they didn't know what the "Demon World" was, judging from the literal meaning and the oppressive feeling that permeated the air, it was definitely not a friendly place.
The voice continued, "You will lead your people into this new world."
Let us fall together, be free together, and Destruction God together!
"Move forth, Demon Legion!"
Yuanen Yehui let out another low roar, a sound that was almost devoid of any human trace.
In that instant, her body suddenly expanded, transforming into a gigantic form ten meters tall, with a layer of purplish-gold scales appearing on the surface of her wings.
The voice from within the Light Gate spoke again, carrying a sense of supreme favor. "As your sovereign, I bestow upon you the Imperial Purple Gold Bloodline, in recognition of your achievements."
"After we conquer this world, you will be my monarch."
Conquer the world?
When everyone present heard those words, they were almost all somewhat startled.
After all, they had just experienced a large-scale invasion of the Abyss not long ago, and that memory was still fresh in their minds. Hearing similar words coming from a Light Gate that appeared out of nowhere would make anyone's heart tighten involuntarily.
Many people's gazes turned hostile when they fell on Yuanen Yehui, thinking that she was not Evil Soul Master of the Holy Spirit Cult, but a traitor in this so-called Demon World!
However, there was no time for them to think further. The original single purplish-black Light Gate split into nine in an instant, like nine open demonic eyes.
From the central Light Gate, a dark figure rushed out first.
It was a Hellhound with a massive, lion-like body, its head even larger than its entire body, and its fangs interlocking like neatly arranged blades.
After landing, it opened its huge mouth and let out a deafening roar, then pounced on the nearest group of people.
From the nine Demon Gate, countless Hellhound surged out like a tidal wave; in no time, over a thousand had emerged.
Without the slightest hesitation, they launched an indiscriminate attack on the people around them.
There were still many ordinary people on the ruins of the Shrek Academy. They had come to watch the ceremony, but now they had become prey in the eyes of these Demon Creatures.
Screams and gasps rose and fell as people scattered and fled, plunging the scene into chaos.
The students of the Shrek Academy were completely unprepared for this turn of events, but there was no time for them to be surprised.
Long Yeyue's face was ashen, and her voice boomed like thunder across the ruins. "Stop them!"
The students and teachers of the Shrek Academy joined the battle, fighting against the Demon Creatures that kept pouring out of the Light Gate.
They all knew in their hearts that if these people who came to witness the ceremony today died at the hands of Demon Creatures, Shrek Academy would probably never have another chance to rise again.
However, Shrek Academy currently only has a little over two hundred students, while the Demon Creatures is increasing.
Following the Hellhound, Bat-Winged Snake-Like Creature, Dark Red Carapace Giant Worm, and a number of distorted, Deformed Monster that seemed to be pieced together from multiple species poured out of the nine Light Gate.
Their numbers quickly exceeded ten thousand, and each one was formidable; on the Douluo Continent, they would be at least Thousand-year Soul Beast.
The Shrek Academy students tried their best to intercept them, but their defenses were like a dam being breached by a flood, with new breaches constantly being torn open.
The Demon Creatures easily broke through their encirclement and scattered in all directions around the ruins.
The powerful figures from various factions who came to watch the ceremony were cursing inwardly. They thought they were just here to see a Shrek performance, but who would have thought that such a "major" event as Plane Invasion would occur?
Even if they were furious, they couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
If these Demon Creatures are allowed to run rampant in Shrek City, no one will be able to escape unscathed in the end.
So these powerful figures also joined the battle, and the light of various Soul Ring intertwined in the sky above the ruins, forming a chaotic net of light.
Even so, the number of powerful humans was still far less than the number of Demon Creatures that kept surging in like a tide.
The defensive line was being compressed bit by bit, and casualties began to appear. First, several Soul King- level Soul Master were tackled to the ground, then a Soul Emperor was pierced through the chest by a giant demonic claw, and then the ordinary people who hadn't escaped began to die...
The casualty figures are rising at an alarming rate, and the air is thick with the stench of blood.
But just then, dozens of figures appeared in the distance, flying rapidly toward the ruins of the Shrek Academy.
They moved with incredible speed, arriving above the battlefield in the blink of an eye; those were the powerful figures from the Spirit Pagoda.
Although Huo Yuhao did not specifically send anyone to the Shrek Academy to witness the ceremony, the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters was not far away, so the abnormal energy fluctuations that erupted there were naturally detected by the Spirit Pagoda immediately.
In mid-air above the Shrek Ruins, Huo Yuhao's figure hovered in front of the enormous Light Gate.
He glanced down at the rapidly spreading chaos of the battlefield, watching the various Demon Creatures pouring out of the Light Gate, and his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
He couldn't help but think to himself, Shrek Academy has completely messed things up this time.
He then raised his head, his gaze fixed on the ever-expanding Light Gate not far away.
The nine originally separate Light Gate have merged back into one, transforming into a giant portal over thirty meters high.
The purplish-black light flowing across the surface of the Light Gate was even more intense than before, and there seemed to be some more terrifying aura slowly surging within.
Huo Yuhao didn't waste any words; his voice clearly reached the ears of every powerful member of the Spirit Pagoda: "Kill these Demon Creatures."
As soon as he finished speaking, his Divine Power spread out like a tide, silently covering the entire Shrek Academy ruins area.
The Demon Creatures that were charging and tearing each other apart seemed to be simultaneously frozen in time; their movements stopped abruptly, as if their souls had been grasped by an invisible hand.
Huo Yuhao unleashed his Spirit Domain, and all the Demon Creatures were now affected by his powerful Divine Power.
The Divine Power of the Divine Origin Realm is enough to instantly envelop the entire battlefield, but controlling such a large number of Demon Creatures at the same time is still a huge drain on energy.
Fortunately, the dozens of powerful figures from the Spirit Pagoda acted just as swiftly. Taking advantage of the moment when the Demon Creatures were stunned, they slashed into the battlefield like sharp blades, their Soul Skill flashing one after another, accurately reaping the lives of those who were immobilized.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of Demon Creatures were killed, and the number was rapidly increasing.
The previously precarious defensive lines on the ruins finally gained a chance to breathe again at this moment.
