Demonic Qi Seepage
The source of all chaos began in the Cloud Mulberry Realm.
Qi Yaoji set up the formation the man had given her on the damaged Teleportation Array and left. At that time, the Cloud Mulberry Realm had just ushered in the second attack by the Devil Race.
After the death of Mo Dao, a high-ranking Devil Race, two more high-ranking Devil Race appeared in the Cloud Mulberry Realm. The Devil Race they led were all mid-ranking, and their abilities were many times greater than those of the low-ranking Devil Race.
The moment this group of Devil Race appeared, they posed a great threat to Lan Fusheng and the others.
Originally, Mo Dao was only through the combined efforts of him, Bai Kejin, and Jing Huan that Mo Dao was defeated. Now that Jing Huan was injured and had to retreat, only he and Bai Kejin were left to face a high-level Devil Race. It could be said that as soon as the two sides clashed, Bai Kejin and the others were immediately overwhelmed.
Dong Fuzhu witnessed all of this, and when another batch of cultivators were sent out of the formation to fight the enemy, she was the first to follow them.
Of course, the Green Lotus sisters were also with her.
While mid-level Devil Race are strong, they are not strong enough to take the life of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Dong Fuzhu rushed forward with the group, targeting the mid-level Devil Race who were attacking the formation. Green Lotus and Red Lotus followed behind her. The three of them had been together for so long that they had developed a tacit understanding. Their combined efforts reduced the pressure on the formation considerably.
But this was far from enough in the face of the endless stream of Devil Race warriors. Even if Dong Fuzhu and the others exhausted all their strength, they could only slow down the speed at which the formation was broken.
Bai Kejin and Lan Fusheng, leading a group of people, engaged in a fierce battle with the two high-level Devil Race. Their bodies were already covered in wounds from the demonic path, and now new wounds had been added to those wounds.
The expensive robes worn by the cultivators were completely useless against these high-level Devil Race. After only half an hour of fighting, Lan Fusheng and Lan Fusheng were already covered in blood.
Seeing this, the Devil Race fighting them laughed and said, "I see that you two are quite capable. Why don't you give up being human and become demons instead? With your abilities, you'll surely rise to a higher rank quickly. Then we can take over the entire Lower Realm together and collect all the good things here. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Bai Kejin had just been scratched by the Devil Race in front of him, continued to wield his sword with unstoppable speed. His swordsmanship inherited the strengths of many schools, with one unique feature: speed. Ordinary people couldn't even see the shadow of his sword, but this was still a bit slow in the eyes of high-level Devil Race.
The high-ranking Devil Race blocked Bai Kejin's sword with one hand, while continuing to utter provocative words.
Bai Kejin wasn't as strong as him, and it took him some effort to pull his sword back. "Ridiculous! This is our Human Race territory, and you outsiders dare to talk to me about 'occupying' it?"
He activated his Spiritual Power and summoned a sword array. The sky was filled with swishing sword lights, forcing the Devil Race to spread its wings to protect itself.
"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!" The high-ranking Devil Race seemed to be enraged, and he became even more ruthless when he attacked Bai Kejin.
The two high-ranking Devil Race weren't stupid. They knew that the cultivators' greatest strength lay in the arrays they had set up over a long period of time. Once they broke through them one by one, it would be much easier to subdue the Cloud Mulberry Realm.
Therefore, while the high-ranking Devil Race were being held back by Lan Fusheng and his group, they kept urging the other Devil Race to attack the array barrier.
Although many cultivators were later assigned to protect the formation, the Devil Race outnumbered them several times over, and each one was extremely powerful. How could these cultivators possibly withstand their attack?
Everyone could only watch helplessly as the formation broke apart layer by layer, and even if the disciples of the Array Sect desperately tried to set up the formation, they couldn't keep up with the speed at which it was broken.
After several rounds of attacks, the Array Sect's array materials were almost completely exhausted.
Everyone was prepared to fight the Devil Race together once the entire formation was broken. Even the visiting cultivators didn't think of taking advantage of the moment to repair the Teleportation Array and quietly leave.
They knew that without the Teleportation Array, these Devil Race could at most only conquer the Cloud Mulberry Realm, but if the Teleportation Array were repaired at this critical juncture, their relatives and friends in other small worlds would likely suffer as well.
With this thought in mind, all the cultivators present held their breath, determined to take the Devil Race down with them even if it meant their deaths!
Jin Liner in the sea was not idle for a moment. Several layers of her sea walls were broken, and she was seriously injured. But even so, Jin Liner dragged her still unhealed body to the light pillar and became the first line of defense against the Devil Race.
Bai Ze and she had long since forgotten their grudges from their previous lives. One was the overlord of the sea, and the other was the god of all beasts.
Whether they swam in the sea or flew in the sky, they were all summoned to become aids in this battle. It can be said that most of the Devil Race died at their hands, and the remaining group bypassed their defenses to attack the people on the shore.
Seeing that the two high-level Devil Race were overwhelming Lan Fusheng and Bai Kejin, Jin Liner and Bai Ze, who both had a past with Sang Ying, were unwilling to watch their junior brother die like this and wanted to go and help.
However, Jin Liner was stronger than Bai Ze, so she discussed with Bai Ze that he would stay and continue to command the Demon Beast in the sea and sky, while she would go to help Lan Fusheng and the others.
Jin Liner truly lived up to her title as the Jiaoren Queen of this generation. Even though she had already exhausted a great deal of Spiritual Power, the towering wave she suddenly summoned still dealt a fatal blow to the two Devil Race at the crucial moment.
Seeing this, the cultivators who were about to be fatally struck by the Devil Race quickly joined forces to attack the two Devil Race.
These two Devil Race ultimately died because of their contempt for Human Race, falling into the sea with a muffled thud.
The corpses of dead Devil Race disappear within half a quarter of an hour. This greatly simplifies the disposal of corpses for the people of the Cloud Mulberry Realm and reduces their burden.
With the deaths of the two high-level Devil Race, the pressure on everyone was instantly relieved, and even the attacks from the mid-level Devil Race on the formation were greatly reduced.
Taking advantage of this moment, Dong Fuzhu quickly "escorted" Lan Fusheng and Bai Kejin back. These two bloodied people now had no good flesh left on their bodies.
The healers who were waiting on the shore quickly came up to administer medicine and treat the wounds.
The healer with the highest cultivation level, after examining the two of them, hurriedly exclaimed, "Oh no!"
"What's wrong?" Dong Fuzhu quickly came over.
The healer's face turned ashen. "The Demonic Qi of these Devil Race will seep into the cultivators' wounds. If this Demonic Qi cannot be removed, I'm afraid these two fellow cultivators will become demonized!"
Dong Fuzhu's face had never been paler than it was today. She moved her lips, but didn't even know what to say.
But soon, another piece of bad news arrived. "The third wave of Devil Race has appeared!"
Dong Fuzhu quickly turned her head to look, and from the dark mass of Devil Race, ten high-level Devil Race with pointed heads suddenly emerged. At this moment, the Array Sect had completely run out of array materials.
