Heavenly Expanse Demon-Slaying Formation
The attacker was actually a Demon King at the Golden Core realm stage. This Crimson Scorpion Demon King was the Demon King of Crimson Scorpion Ridge, and his cultivation was as high as the mid- Golden Core Middle Stage, making him extremely powerful.
However, Crimson Scorpion Ridge is separated from the Chu Kingdom by the Heavenly Python Lake. There has always been friction and hatred between Crimson Scorpion Ridge and Heavenly Python Lake, so it is unexpected that they have come to this place today.
"The Demon King... this is troublesome."
In the blink of an eye, Chen Nianzhi turned around with a solemn expression and flew away into the distant sky, Sword-Body Unity.
Seeing that he was about to leave, how could the Black Dragon Demon King and the Crimson Scorpion Demon King let him have his way? They both unleashed their Divine Ability Cultivation Method Law Treasure.
However, Chen Nianzhi remained fearless. He used his Earth Sovereign Bell to block the attacks of the two Demon King, and the sword light flew away at an unimpeded speed.
A reckless Golden-Horned Savage Bull tried to stop him, but its mere Early Purple Mansion realm cultivation was nothing short of suicide in the face of Tier 4 immortal sword.
With a clang, the sword flashed and cleaved him in two.
After Chen Nianzhi put away the inner core, he let out a long laugh and flew away at an undiminished speed.
"How dare you!"
Seeing his rampant behavior, the Black Flood Dragon Demon King was furious and gave chase.
However, once you reach this level, it is almost impossible to kill Chen Nianzhi, who has achieved Sword-Body Unity, without a specific method to counter it.
They underestimated Chen Nianzhi's abilities; they never imagined that someone who wasn't even False Core realm cultivator would possess the combat power of Golden Core realm cultivator.
So they pursued them for tens of thousands of miles, all the way to the outside of Heavenly Ruins Mountain, but to no avail. Finally, they angrily sealed off Heavenly Ruins Mountain.
Chen Nianzhi returned to Heavenly Ruins Mountain and immediately gathered everyone, saying, "With Crimson Scorpion Ridge getting involved this time, I'm afraid this battle will be a bit troublesome."
"Crimson Scorpion Ridge."
After hearing his story, everyone looked solemn.
The Old Clan Leader's expression changed, and he said with lingering fear, "Luckily, they underestimated your strength. In order to kill you, they made the Crimson Scorpion Demon King reveal himself in advance, otherwise this trump card would have caused me a great loss."
"The Crimson Scorpion Demon King is Demon King at the Golden Core Middle Stage." Xu Daoyuan shook his head, his face grave. "Even in the current situation, we'll probably have some trouble dealing with it."
"You don't need to worry. With our strength, plus the formation of Heavenly Ruins Mountain, we are more than capable of holding back those two Demon King."
Chen Nianzhi calmly comforted them, but everyone still felt somewhat uneasy.
Pan Boyuan couldn't help but stand up, his face grave. "What if that Golden Lion Mastiff comes too?" he asked.
"The Spirit Vein of Heavenly Ruins Mountain are only of the Tier 3 High-grade, which is insufficient to unleash the full power of Tier 4 Formation. With our current strength, we are simply no match for the attack of three Demon King."
All those present were cultivators of the Purple Mansion, but at this moment, they were also somewhat apprehensive.
Although the group was quite strong, they probably couldn't withstand the attack of three Golden Core realm Demon King leading a large number of low-level Demon Beast.
The Old Clan Leader was also somewhat worried and couldn't help but ask, "Could we ask Patriarch Jiang to come and provide support?"
"I'm afraid it won't work."
Chen Nianzhi frowned, shook his head, and sighed, "The main reason why Heavenly Python Lake was because they misjudged our strength and chose to risk dividing their forces in pursuit of a quick victory."
"The Earth Lion Demon King has long been eyeing Linglong. If she comes to our aid, he will surely lure her here as well, which will only escalate the war further."
He thought for a moment, then said, "How about this, I'll have Jiaoyang Mountain transfer Lin Qianshu and Patriarch Fang over here."
"If we add two more False Core realm cultivators, we should be able to hold them off until the Beast Turmoil ends."
Upon hearing this, everyone sighed, and they had all already made this decision in mind.
While this tactic may not guarantee victory, it can at least stabilize the current situation and prevent excessive casualties.
Following the conclusion of this meeting, the Heavenly Ruins Alliance's army underwent a mobilization shortly afterward.
Not long after, Lin Qianshu and Fang Qingmei, two False Core realm cultivators who were guarding Jiaoyang Mountain, led ten Purple Mansion cultivators to Heavenly Ruins Mountain to provide support.
After this withdrawal, more than half of the high-level forces guarding Jiaoyang Mountain were gone, leaving only Jiang Linglong to confront Earth Lion Ridge.
The Earth Lion Demon King was wary of Jiang Linglong's Great Divine Ability, the Grand Void Five Calamities Divine Light, and Jiang Linglong alone could not kill the Earth Lion Demon King from the army of Earth Lion Ridge.
Thus, the two sides confronted each other at Jiaoyang Mountain. A large number of Demon Beast began to gather at the foot of Jiaoyang Mountain and began to attack the formation to deplete the energy of the Mountain-Protecting Array. However, the two Golden Core realm experts did not risk making a move.
Compared to the standoff at Jiaoyang Mountain, the Heavenly Ruins Mountain on the other side was even more tense.
The army of Demon Beast was constantly gathering, and Lin Qianshu and Patriarch Fang also arrived with reinforcements from Jiaoyang Mountain, greatly enhancing the defense of Heavenly Ruins Mountain.
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye. As expected, the Black Flood Dragon Demon King arrived at Heavenly Ruins Mountain with an army of hundreds of thousands of Demon Race.
After the army from Heavenly Python Lake arrived, the Black Flood Dragon Demon King ordered hundreds of thousands of Demon Beast to surround Heavenly Ruins Mountain, and then began to let his low-level Demon Beast consume the power of the formation.
The formation at Heavenly Ruins Mountain is called the Heavenly Expanse Demon-Slaying Formation, and its core is a Tier 4 Low-Grade Law Treasure.
This Array Instrument is called the Heavenly Expanse Demon-Slaying Sword. The sword itself is very effective against Demon Race, and with the enhancement of the array, it is even enough to threaten or severely injure Golden Core realm Demon King.
Although the Black Flood Dragon Demon King and the Crimson Scorpion Demon King were powerful, they were unwilling to risk serious injury by fighting the formation to the death.
Moreover, they also need to conserve enough Law Power. After all, if they lose too much Law Power or are seriously injured by the formation, then even if they break the formation, they may not be able to gain an advantage against Chen Nianzhi and the four Human Race cultivators who are at the False Core realm stage.
In this situation, the Black Flood Dragon Demon King began to drive a large number of low-level Demon Beast as cannon fodder to frantically attack the formation.
Using cannon fodder to wear down the Spiritual Qi of the formation is a relatively long process.
The two sides fought like this for a month, and both sides were starting to feel the strain.
The formation at Heavenly Ruins Mountain was extremely taxing, costing over 500,000 Spirit Stone.
Using such a large sum of Spirit Stone to activate the formation would be enough to cause even Golden Core realm cultivator to feel severely injured and heartbroken.
However, relatively speaking, temporary losses are always more worthwhile than losses from death in battle.
During this period, tens of thousands of Human Race cultivators, backed by the formation, killed more than 200,000 Demon Beast in just one month, severely damaging Demon Beast.
Although those low-level Demon Beast were not very intelligent, they still knew what fear was. At this point, even if Golden Core realm Demon King commanded them, they would not be willing to go forward and die.
Since the lower-level demon kings were unwilling to die, the Golden Core realm Demon King decided to take action themselves.
At this moment, the Crimson Scorpion Demon King and the Black Flood Dragon Demon King attacked from the void one after another. Even the Golden Lion Mastiff, which had been hiding in the shadows, no longer concealed itself. Stretching its hundreds-of-foot-long body, it shattered a mountain peak with a single step.
