On the city walls of Demon-Suppressing Pass!
Luo Fentian and the other two looked at the densely packed demonic soldiers, resembling an army of locusts, and the terrifying demonic aura emanating from hundreds of miles away, and their expressions changed slightly.
" Demon-Suppressing Grand Array, activate!!!"
Xu Jingchen shouted, and thousands of array masters in the center of the city were already in place. One of the top array masters stood in front of an array eye stone tablet in the center of the city, flipped his hand seals, and then slapped the array eye stone tablet, which was already filled with countless Yuan Crystal.
Buzz!!!~~~
In an instant, the entire ten-thousand-foot-tall black iron rock city wall lit up with dark golden array patterns, like dormant golden dragons awakening, winding and wandering along the wall, and finally weaving into a semi-transparent, thick light shield above the city wall.
The terrifying power of the formation spread out, even forcing the pervasive demonic energy back several miles.
Seeing that the formation had been successfully activated, the people in the city breathed a long sigh of relief, and smiles appeared on their faces.
Fortunately, when they recaptured Demon-Suppressing Pass, their first priority was to repair the city's formations. Otherwise, faced with the Ancient Devil Race ' sudden and overwhelming counterattack, the defenses would have collapsed in an instant, and hundreds of millions of soldiers and warriors inside the pass would have had to hastily confront these demonic troops.
However, compared to the ordinary soldiers, Luo Fentian and his two companions were not happy at all; on the contrary, their expressions became even more gloomy.
"Brother Luo, Brother Han, you've sensed it, haven't you?!" Xu Jingchen said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the approaching demonic tide.
"Hmm, five!" A cold glint and worry flashed in Luo Fentian's eyes.
"I never expected that these demon bastards would return after only a few days of retreat, and this time they've even sent five Demon Emperors. Are they going to gamble everything?!"
Han Guya clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, his muscles and bones beneath his robes tensed, his gaze fixed on the five overwhelming demonic shadows behind the demonic tide, a bitter taste rising in his throat.
" The Ancient Devil Race have dug out their entire rear stronghold."
Xu Jingchen's fingertips sank slightly, and a brick on the city wall beneath his hand shattered. He said in a deep voice, "In the previous battle, we fought with all our might to repel three demons. Now, with the addition of two more demon emperors, the Demon-Suppressing Grand Array, hastily repaired, won't last much longer!"
"Even if you can't hold on, you have to!"
Luo Fentian's pale eyebrows furrowed, a resolute glint in his eyes. "With me here, these demon brats will have to step over my dead body before they can even enter the Demon-Suppressing Pass!"
"General Lu!" Xu Jingchen suddenly turned to a middle-aged soldier in armor beside him.
"Your Excellency is here!" the middle-aged soldier hurriedly clasped his hands in greeting.
"Send a message back to the Imperial Court immediately, and tell Xuan Zhantian and Cang Wanli to come over right away!" Xu Jingchen decisively ordered.
"Yes!"
The middle-aged soldier didn't say much, turned around and strode away.
Although the Great Luo Dynasty has communication jade talismans, they can only be used within a hundred miles. However, Demon-Suppressing Pass is more than ten million miles away from the Dynasty, so sending messages requires special channels.
Fortunately, this is the Northern Frontier, and communication channels have been set up here as a precaution.
Soon, news of the danger in the Northern Frontier will reach you.
Xu Jingchen and the other two did not look back at General Lu who had sent the message, but instead turned their heads and stared intently at the demonic tide ahead.
"The message has been sent, but it's too little, too late."
Han Guya shook his head and sighed, "Even if Cang Wanli and Xuan Zhantian rushed here at all costs, it would probably take them several hours to travel thousands of miles."
"Every moment counts!"
Xu Jingchen shook his head, looking ahead, and said, "These demon bastards have attacked again so quickly this time; there must be something fishy going on."
Luo Fentian frowned, followed his gaze to the surging black mist demonic sea, and said in a deep voice, "I also feel that something is wrong!"
"In the previous great battle, the Devil Race suffered heavy losses of demon soldiers, three demon emperors fled, and Slaughterblood was seriously injured. They should have retreated to the heart of the demon realm to recuperate and lay low for at least several years. To come back with all their might in just a few days is far too hasty."
"It's not just impatience, it's a desperate gamble."
Han Guya lightly tapped the void with his fingertips, sensing the increasingly clear pressure of the five Demon Emperors. "Gathering five Demon Emperors at once, exhausting the accumulated resources of the clan, and attacking the Demon-Suppressing Pass at all costs, is definitely not just a simple revenge for the defeat last time."
"Could it be that these demonic brats are really planning to fight to the death with our Human Race this time?!" Luo Fentian's expression hardened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Very likely!" Xu Jingchen said in a deep voice.
Boom!!~~~
Before Xu Jingchen and the others could finish speaking, they saw the demonic tide in front of them arrive and crash heavily into the protective barrier of the Demon-Suppressing Grand Array.
Billions of demonic soldiers charged forward one after another, crashing against each other in a massive, dark wave, like a surging black ocean frantically pounding against the light shield.
The dull, cracking sounds continued incessantly, causing the entire imposing pass to tremble and the bricks and stones beneath its feet to crumble and crumble.
The dark golden array light fluctuated violently, and huge ripples continued to oscillate outwards. The array patterns, which had been hastily repaired and stabilized, immediately became dim and flickering, and fine cracks appeared in many places.
The thousands of array masters in charge of the array in the city all changed their expressions drastically. They swallowed a mouthful of blood, feeling a sweet taste in their throats. Then, they poured all their strength into the array, their foreheads bulging with veins, and sweat mixed with blood dripping down their chins.
" Slaughterblood, you dare to offend my clan again? This time, I will not let you escape again!" Luo Fentian roared at the Bloodslaughter Demon Emperor in the demonic tide, his body radiating a terrifying and intense light, like a blazing sun.
The billowing demonic mist parted to both sides, Bloodslaughter Demon Emperor's dozens-of-zhang-tall demonic body hovering in the air. His blood-red horns gleamed with a chilling light, and his five scarlet vertical pupils were filled with violent mockery. His ear-piercing laughter, mixed with demonic energy, echoed throughout the surrounding area. "You think you can handle me, you old codger nearing the end of your lifespan? Last time, you only managed to kill one of my avatars thanks to that junior! You really think you can subdue me?!"
"This time, I'm going to tear you old bastard to pieces!"
"Kill them all!!!"
"Phew!!~~~"
Inside the secret chamber of the Thunderclap Hall, Chen An rubbed his slightly stiff smiling face before letting out a long breath, his tense nerves relaxing.
Although he had lived two lives, he had never encountered such a grand scene before.
Fortunately, given his current cultivation level and status, no one dared to be presumptuous in front of him. He only received some people of higher status and those he had met in Wurong County before making up an excuse to return.
"Let's take stock of what we've gained this time!"
A glint of light flashed in Chen An's eyes, and then he waved his right hand, and several Sumera Bag appeared in front of him.
These Sumera Bag were gifts personally given to him by Xuan Zhantian, Cang Wanli, and the sect leaders of the three major martial arts holy lands. As for the others, since the ceremony had just ended, the Heaven-Dominating Sect had not yet sent them to him.
However, just looking at these few Sumera Bag of congratulatory gifts, Chen An felt that he had really made a huge profit by becoming the Supreme Elder of the Heaven-Dominating Sect this time.
Taking a deep breath, Chen An first picked up the Sumera Bag given to him by Ruan Cangke, the sect leader of the Blazing Sun Sect, and opened it to take a look...
