Demon-Suppressing Pass Falls!
Huang Province, Demon-Suppressing Pass.
The city wall, built of black iron stone, is thirty feet high and actually has array patterns flowing around it, which can withstand Golden Core. It can be called the most solid gateway in the eastern part of the Profound Truth Kingdom.
On the city wall, True Person Minghe stood with his hands behind his back, his face ashen.
"Elder, the soul tablets of True Person Qingyun and True Person Qingding are broken."
Upon hearing his disciple's report, True Person Minghe sighed, his eyes filled with disappointment. He didn't even bother to say anything more, staring intently at the eastern sky.
There, a black line was expanding rapidly at a visible speed, accompanied by a deafening roar, and the earth trembled violently.
"Enemy attack!!"
The alarm bells pierced the sky, and dark clouds loomed over the city.
Hundreds of thousands of beasts surged forth like a black tsunami.
Above the beast tide, six terrifying demonic forces shot straight into the Yunxiao, dimming the protective light Lightless of the Demon-Suppressing Pass.
"Unexpectedly, six Demon General have arrived. No wonder the Qingding perished."
True Person Minghe had no more illusions left. He never imagined that the Myriad Demon Domain would actually dare to directly ignite a war between the two races...
Why start an attack now of all times?
One second, True Person Minghe was wondering if the Myriad Demon Domain wasn't afraid of being surrounded by the Clear Granary Kingdom, leading to its defeat; the next second, he realized that the Human Race was already rotten to the core.
Will the Supreme Purity come to the rescue?
If Supreme Purity comes to the rescue, Demon Race seizes the opportunity to launch an attack—they're waiting for Supreme Purity's reinforcements—what then? Is Supreme Purity willing to take that risk?
Having considered the pros and cons, True Person Minghe felt a deep sense of sorrow.
Human Race, how could you have come to this!
At the edge of the horizon, the black tide had completely swallowed the horizon; hundreds of thousands of Demon Beast galloped about, raising dust that blotted out the sun.
Furthermore, fiery clouds filled the sky, waters overflowed, yellow sand swirled, and gale-force winds howled.
"Old man Minghe!"
A burst of wild laughter erupted like thunder.
Kuang Dou stood amidst raging flames, his twenty-foot-tall giant dog body stretching across the void, looking down upon the Demon Suppression Pass.
"That piece of trash Qingding has already turned to ashes, now it's your turn!"
Minghe's face turned ashen. Without uttering a word, he crushed a talisman in his hand.
"Black Tortoise Heavy Water Formation, activate!"
Buzz--
Beneath the Demon-Suppressing Pass, dozens of array altars continuously drew upon the Spirit Vein, causing an incredibly thick, deep blue water curtain to rise from the ground, enveloping the entire majestic pass within it.
On the surface of the water curtain, a faint phantom of a Xuanwu (a mythical tortoise) roars towards the sky.
"A coward."
Shi Pan snorted coldly and strode forward.
He was covered in thick rock armor, and his body swelled to over ten zhang in length; he pulled back one arm, and earth-elemental Spiritual Qi gathered wildly, transforming into a huge rock hammer.
"Break!"
Shi Pan leaped up, his giant hammer carrying immense force, and slammed down hard on the Xuanwu Water Curtain.
Bang!
The water curtain caved in violently, creating ripples that spread out in waves.
The cultivators inside the Demon-Suppressing Pass felt a sharp pain in their eardrums, and many Qi Refining Realm disciples bled from all seven orifices and collapsed to the ground.
"I'll do it!"
The Golden Crocodile roared, its hundred-foot-long golden body tumbling in mid-air.
He opened his blood-red maw, unleashing a terrifying devouring power. He forcibly pulled out wisps of heavy water Spiritual Qi from the Xuanwu Water Curtain and absorbed them into his stomach.
"Water and fire share the same origin, burn them!"
Flame Brown Bear followed closely behind, his body oozing magma. He slammed out his palms, and two Fire Cloud Earth Core Flame transformed into enormous pillars of fire, slamming into the point where the water curtain had been weakened by the Golden Crocodile.
The clash between water and fire produced a burst of high-temperature white steam that filled the sky.
The array's light barrier began to flicker violently, and the Xuanwu phantom let out a mournful cry. In just one exchange, it showed signs of collapsing.
"You beast, how dare you!"
True Person Minghe was greatly alarmed and unleashed his full power without reservation.
With one hand Hand Seals, an octagonal bronze mirror flew out from his sleeve, hovering above his head and emitting bursts of dazzling mystical light.
"Taiyi Divides Light, vanquishing evil!"
The ancient mirror spun, shooting out dozens of beams of azure divine light as thick as water buckets, piercing through the water curtain and heading straight for the four Demon General.
Yu Tian let out a clear crane cry, and the thirty-zhang-tall azure giant crane flapped its wings, and the invisible pure energy transformed into a stream of air, meeting the azure divine light.
Boom boom boom!
Clusters of dazzling spiritual energy exploded in the air, and the violent impact sent thousands of low-level Demon Beast flying below.
True Person Minghe let out a muffled groan, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.
Even though he was in the Golden Core Late Stage, he felt somewhat overwhelmed fighting against four opponents. Just then, a warning signal suddenly arose in his mind.
An extremely dangerous stinging sensation came from the back of my neck.
That's too fast!
The Six-Winged Golden Cicada had somehow slipped through the gaps in the formation and appeared behind him.
Six thin Dark Gold wings vibrated at a high frequency, and a drop of pitch-black heavy water transformed into a slender water sword, piercing straight into the back of Minghe's head.
"Roll!"
Minghe roared, and his Bagua Daoist robe instantly lit up with dazzling golden light, transforming into a golden bell shield that protected his physical body.
Click.
The Golden Bell Shield only held out for half a breath before being pierced by the Heavy Water Sword.
Taking advantage of this brief moment, Minghe desperately turned her head to the side.
The water sword grazed his right shoulder, taking away a large chunk of flesh. The violent true water power drilled into his meridians, causing half of his body to go numb instantly from the pain!
"So fast..."
Minghe broke out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for the Daoist robe protecting him, that attack would have pierced his skull.
"Broken!"
Outside, Kuang Dou seized the moment when Minghe was distracted.
The Sun Devourer Demon Fire transformed into a giant ball of fire, slamming into the weakest point of the Xuanwu Water Curtain and breaking through it in one fell swoop!
Boom!
A deafening roar.
The array base, consisting of three third-order Spirit Vein, exploded simultaneously, and the Xuanwu phantom let out a mournful cry before collapsing with a deafening roar.
The spray from the sky turned into a torrential downpour; the Demon-Suppressing Pass had fallen!
"Kill!"
Kuang Dou roared and howled to the sky, and the black beast tide surged into the pass like a flood bursting its banks, flowing along the collapsed city walls.
Screams, the cracking of Law Artifact, and the chewing sounds of Demon Beast instantly intertwined to create a scene of hell on earth, and war was about to break out!
The three thousand elite Qi Dao were like a drop in the Cang Hai before the hundreds of thousands of beasts, completely submerged without even making a ripple.
True Person Minghe stood in mid-air, looking down at the devastating scene of the army collapsing like a mountain, his face turning deathly pale.
Knowing that the situation was hopeless, Minghe was determined to fight to the death, but could the fear of death be overcome so easily?
After only a moment's hesitation, True Person Minghe made his decision, without even glancing at the sect disciples who were fighting desperately.
He formed a Dao seal and spat a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the octagonal ancient mirror.
"Disease!"
With a command, the ancient mirror burst forth with a burst of bloody light, enveloping True Person Minghe, and transformed into a blood-red meteor that fled thousands of miles away, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.
"You old fool, where do you think you're going!"
Kuang Dou roared furiously, his four claws bursting into flames. Just as he was about to give chase, Shi Pan flashed forward, blocking Kuang Dou's path.
"Kuang Dou, don't pursue a cornered enemy."
"Minghe is at the Golden Core Late Stage, and she's determined to escape; you can't catch her. Besides, the Emperor's order is to take Demon-Suppressing Pass, not to fight to the death."
Upon hearing this, Kuang Dou snorted, spitting out a spark, and reluctantly stopped.
"Those old dogs, they're really fast!"
The six Demon General hovered above the Demon-Suppressing Pass, coldly watching the massacre below.
Half a day later.
The sounds of fighting completely subsided.
Inside the Demon-Suppressing Pass, not a single person remained alive. Blood stained the black iron walls a dark red, and severed limbs piled up like mountains.
Zhao Xuanqing, accompanied by dozens of Half-Demon, arrived before Shi Pan, covered in blood, and knelt on one knee with a fanatical expression.
"Your Excellencies, all the Human Race pass has been exterminated, and the treasury resources are being inventoried!"
Shi Pan nodded slightly, gazing westward.
That's the direction of the heartland of the One Qi Dao Gate; we'll see what happens next.
"From this day forward, the land a thousand miles east of the Huang Province shall all be the territory of my Myriad Demon Domain!"
The sound of the Shi Pan was like thunder, echoing throughout the wilderness.
Roar--!
Hundreds of thousands of Demon Beast roared in unison, their Yao Qi soaring thousands of miles into the sky, shaking the heavens.
