The Boundary Collapses, a Spirit Platform Realm Expert Falls, and Desperation Descends

The Boundary Great Wall.

If hell exists on earth, then this place is the perfect depiction of it.

The once endless steel defense line had been shattered by the raging tide of monsters. Several enormous gaps, hundreds of feet wide, resembled gaping maws of a greedy abyss, relentlessly devouring the land within the defense line.

The black demonic energy, like thick ink, obscured the stars and moon, and the air was filled with a suffocating stench of blood and burnt meat.

"Kill!"

"We must not retreat!"

The Defense Army roared, but their resistance was utterly futile in the face of overwhelming numbers and superior strength. Countless low- and mid-level magical beasts surged into the breach like a tidal wave, crushing the human positions piece by piece, leaving no trace of human remains.

However, what is even more despairing is the battlefield high in the sky.

"Pfft!"

A powerful expert from the Great Xia government, at the Sea of Consciousness Realm, had his Mental Barrier shattered by a sneak attack from a demon covered in tentacles. The tentacles pierced his chest like sharp blades, instantly draining all his life essence.

The Sun Grade investigator, not far away, roared in grief and anger, but he himself was also deeply entangled in the siege of the Sea of Consciousness Realm demons and had no time to spare for anything else.

With the addition of this fallen official powerhouse, humanity's original eleven powerful beings at the Sea of Consciousness level are now reduced to only eight! Moreover, each of them is severely injured, their vital energy is depleted, and their spiritual power is nearly exhausted.

"I can't hold on any longer..." The Chu Family patriarch was covered in blood, one of his arms was gone, and his eyes were filled with despair.

Under the relentless and highly polluting mental attacks of more than a dozen demonic creatures at the Sea of Consciousness Realm, humanity's defenses of the Sea of Consciousness are on the verge of complete collapse.

But at this moment, no one's attention was actually focused on the desperate situation before them.

All their hopes, perhaps even the last straw for the entire Great Xia Dynasty, rested on the heavens above, on that earth-shattering battle that was unfolding there!

High above, the wind howled fiercely.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The black and white light was like two stars colliding wildly, and each clash caused violent ripples in the space below.

The only [Spirit Platform Realm] ancestor of the Great Xia, Elder Wang, wielded a blazing white longsword formed from pure spiritual power, his hair and beard standing on end. Although he looked old, every swing of his sword contained the terrifying power to cleave mountains and rivers.

Opposite him, the enormous Lingtai Demon King, covered in dozens of eerie green vertical pupils, transformed into a constantly writhing black demonic cloud, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle with Elder Wang.

"Hehehe... Old man, your sword is too slow."

The Demon King emitted a grating, grinding sound, "How much longer can this decaying shell of yours hold on?"

"Slay demons and eliminate evil! What does it matter if I, an old man, fight to the last drop of blood!" Elder Wang roared, burning his primordial spiritual power without regard for anything else, and the light on his longsword instantly surged.

You lost!

The Lingtai Demon King's dozens of vertical pupils instantly erupted with an eerie light. Instead of directly confronting Elder Wang's sword light, it cunningly transformed its massive body into countless streams of black demonic energy, bypassing the sword light like venomous snakes.

"Sizzle!"

One of the most concentrated black demonic energies, containing a sinister and corrosive power, pierced into Elder Wang's back at an incredible angle!

"Puff--!!!"

Elder Wang was struck dumb, his eyes wide open.

That demonic energy, like a bone-deep infection, frantically eroded his physical body and meridians, even directly attacking his Sea of Consciousness Lingtai! His originally brilliant white spiritual power began to dim and dissipate rapidly the moment it came into contact with this demonic energy!

"Ancestor!!!"

Below, the eight remaining powerful beings in the Sea of Consciousness, including the Sun Grade investigator, witnessed this desperate scene and let out a desperate, mournful roar.

"Hahaha! Humanity's hope is nothing more than this!"

The Lingtai Demon King reformed in mid-air, looked at the severely injured Elder Wang, and let out a deafening laugh.

Elder Wang coughed up a mouthful of black blood, and the spiritual sword that had accompanied him for a hundred years could no longer be maintained, turning into specks of white light and dissipating in the wind.

His aged body, like a kite with a broken string, fell helplessly from the heavens.

They watched as the ground rapidly expanded, and the hordes of monsters surged in like a tidal wave.

Elder Wang's eyes were filled with helplessness and sorrow.

"The Great Xia... is finished..."

With Elder Wang's fall.

The last line of defense in the hearts of all the surviving human martial artists and soldiers below, and even those few high-ranking experts at the Sea of Consciousness Realm, completely collapsed.

Their proud pillar of strength, the strongest guardian of the Great Xia, has fallen.

"Hehehe... Delicious prey, despair now!"

The Lingtai Demon King hovered in mid-air, his massive, mountain-like body radiating a suffocating demonic aura. He looked down upon the ant-like humans below, proclaiming the arrival of the end times.

"From this day forward, this land will become the pasture of my people!"

despair.

A pure, suffocating despair, like an invisible net, tightly gripped everyone's heart.

Several Defense Army soldiers despairingly lowered their guns, closed their eyes as they faced the oncoming monsters; the Chu Family patriarch smiled bitterly and closed his eyes, awaiting death; the Sun Grade investigator looked utterly dejected and stopped circulating his true energy.

There will be no miracle.

At this moment, the entire Boundary defense line of Demon Capital completely collapsed.
