The Boundary Wept Blood, a Sea of Consciousness Elegy, and the Spirit Platform Realm Experts Lying in Wait

In the night of Demon Capital, under the Dongfang Yueming, in a single thought as if divine punishment, the hidden dangers in the city were eradicated.

However, on the edge of this city, the "Boundary" that countless people once regarded as an absolute safety barrier is now experiencing an unprecedented hell.

"Boom--!!!"

The deafening explosions continued unabated, and the earth trembled violently, as if the end of the world had arrived prematurely.

Along the steel Great Wall stretching for hundreds of kilometers, blinding flames illuminated the night sky as if it were daytime. It was the incessant roar of the heavy artillery of the Great Xia army, each shell containing terrifying power enough to tear apart Blood Transformation Realm Variants, exploding into bursts of flesh and blood fireworks in the beast tide.

But it's not enough! Far from enough!

From that Xukong rift, hundreds of meters wide, torn open by the forced sacrifice of the Wu Family's Variants.

A horde of monsters, like a black tsunami, is surging forth endlessly! They are enormous, with bloodshot eyes and exuding extremely evil dark demonic energy, like demons from hell, ready to devour this land of the living.

"Kill! Hold them off! Don't retreat an inch!!!"

A blood-soaked officer at the Meridian Opening Realm, his left arm severed at the root, roared with bloodshot eyes. He wielded an alloy battle blade with one hand, cleaving a two-headed demonic wolf attempting to scale the city wall in two.

But the officer's roar was quickly drowned out by the deafening roar of the beasts.

Those mutated Ferocious Beast were not only thick-skinned and tough, but more terrifyingly, the black demonic energy they emitted was extremely corrosive and polluting. Ordinary soldiers of the Defense Army, once tainted by this demonic energy, would suffer from anything from blood and qi reversal and madness to flesh and blood being torn apart, turning into a puddle of pus on the spot.

"The defenses have been breached! The East District Three has fallen!!!"

Accompanied by desperate screams coming from the communicator.

A True Power Realm Demon Armored Earth Dragon, as large as a moving small mountain and covered in hard bone spurs, withstood the barrage of cannon fire and crashed into a section of the city wall that was tens of meters long, collapsing it!

Hundreds and thousands of low-level magical beasts surged into the defensive line through the breach like a flood bursting its banks!

Blood, severed limbs, and shattered chariots churned in the black demonic energy. The casualty figures of the Great Xia Defense Army and the civilian martial artists who spontaneously came to support them were soaring at an alarming rate.

Just as humanity's defenses were about to collapse.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Four dazzling streaks of light ripped through the sky, carrying terrifying mental pressure, and crashed into the center of the battlefield like meteorites!

The four powerful experts at the Sea of Consciousness Realm who had rushed from Demon Capital — the Sun Grade investigators and the patriarchs of the three major families—have finally arrived!

"You beast! Stop your arrogance!"

The Chu Family patriarch had the most explosive temper. He roared, and his immense spiritual power instantly transformed into countless sharp, invisible battle blades, slashing fiercely towards the densest part of the beast tide!

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Hundreds and thousands of low-level magical beasts didn't even have time to scream before their souls were instantly shredded, and their massive bodies crashed to the ground.

With the addition of these four experts at the Sea of Consciousness Realm, the previously crumbling human defense line finally managed to stabilize. This, along with the seven officials and powerful members of various Sea of Consciousness families already stationed at the Boundary, further solidified the situation.

Eleven powerful beings at the Sea of Consciousness Realm erected an indestructible spiritual Great Wall in mid-air!

"Boom..."

Among the distant horde of magical beasts, those few high-level monsters who had been observing coldly finally couldn't hold back any longer.

They roared deafeningly, their massive bodies shrouded in billowing demonic energy, and launched an extremely ferocious attack on the human defenses!

An earth-shattering battle between cultivators at the Sea of Consciousness Realm level erupted instantly!

"Puff--!"

In mid-air, after a fierce clash of mental energy, the Li Family patriarch was sent flying hundreds of feet backward, his face pale, and a mouthful of blood sprayed into the night sky.

His once incredibly concentrated Sea of Consciousness now showed a tiny crack, and his spiritual power was leaking out uncontrollably.

"Damn it! Although these beasts' spiritual power is chaotic, its corrupting properties are too domineering! My Divine Sense is severely corroded the moment it comes into contact with it, making it impossible for me to unleash my full strength!"

The Li Family patriarch roared through gritted teeth, a deep despair flashing in his eyes.

"Hold on! If we let them break through, the defenses will collapse instantly, and tens of millions of people in Demon Capital will be doomed!"

Three hours later.

"Huff... huff..."

The Li Family patriarch landed on a dilapidated bunker, covered in sweat. His once-refined spiritual power now seemed somewhat weak.

Not far from him, ten other experts at the Sea of Consciousness Realm also landed, each with a face full of fatigue and solemnity.

Although they fought with all their might and managed to repel the first and most ferocious wave of monsters, everyone knew that this was only the beginning of a protracted battle.

"These monsters have incredibly thick hides, and their demonic energy has a strong corrosive effect on our spiritual power." The Tang Family patriarch clutched his chest. He had just taken a direct hit from a demonic bear at the Sea of Consciousness Realm to cover the retreat of the Defense Army, and had suffered considerable internal injuries.

"Those low-level cannon fodder are just wearing us down. The real challenge lies with those old monsters hidden deep within the beast tide." The Sun Grade investigator said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank.

"Damn it! If we humans had a powerful expert at the ' Spirit Platform Realm ' to oversee things, what would a few demons be?!" The Chu Family patriarch couldn't help but complain.

These words immediately created an eerie atmosphere.

Several powerful officials with Sea of Consciousness who had been stationed at the Boundary for many years exchanged glances, all offering wry smiles and remaining silent.

"Old ghost Chu, watch your words." An elderly official lowered his voice, "Do you think the seniors at the Spirit Platform Realm don't want to take action? Those higher-ups know the dangers of this Boundary better than we do!"

"Then why don't you step in?! Are you just going to stand by and watch us die here, and watch this Boundary defense line be breached?" The Chu Family patriarch said indignantly.

"Because..."

The Sun Grade investigator sighed, his gaze fixed intently on the black light curtain that had been torn open.

"Because, deep within the darkness beyond the barrier, lurks a Demon King no weaker than the Spirit Platform Realm."

"This is an extremely delicate balance and a form of deterrence. If our human seniors at the Spirit Platform Realm act prematurely, it will break this tacit understanding and trigger a full-scale counterattack from the enemy's Demon King level. At that point, it won't just be a simple matter of tearing open a gap; the entire Great Xia could face annihilation!"

Upon hearing these words, the Chu Family patriarch and the others were speechless.

While those at the Sea of Consciousness Realm might wield immense power outside, on this Boundary battlefield where humanity's survival hangs in the balance, they are merely high-level cannon fodder.

"Now, it's just a matter of who gives up first." The Sun Grade investigator gazed into the distance. "Hopefully, reinforcements from Central Capital can arrive soon."

But several miles outside the defensive line.

In a death swamp shrouded in black demonic energy.

Several demonic creatures at the Sea of Consciousness Realm who had just retreated from the front lines were gathering together.

"These old humans are quite tenacious." A terrifying mass of flesh covered in eyeballs made a teeth-grinding grinding sound.

"Gurgle... don't rush."

If the Baihu were here, it would definitely recognize that this monster's voice is exactly the same as the "mysterious being" that possessed the Azure Qinglong before! They are high-dimensional life forms of the same race!

"As long as those 'spies' we've planted in Central Capital and Demon Capital can create enough chaos in humanity's rear areas, completely disrupting their plans..."

The monster's crimson eyes were filled with cruelty and cunning.

"At that time, with a coordinated attack from within and without, this ridiculous, flimsy defense will crumble in an instant!"
