Chapter 468: Wind and Moon (Making up for missed chapter 31)
"Dragon Beast Dao Soldiers? Hmph!"
Upon the Bone Commander's Platform, Feng Shisan let out a cold snort. "Brother Jiao, I must ask you to make a move this one time."
"Heh heh. . ."
The one addressed as 'Brother Jiao' was a purple-robed demon with dragon horns on his head and a few dragon scales on his face. Hearing the request, he chuckled, "The Human Race believes that our great king-tier races fight amongst ourselves, yet they don't know that, when necessary, we can also join forces. I happened to be journeying through your noble territory just now, and indeed, I should lend a hand."
He took a step forward, and a flash of purple light!
A purple flood dragon, dozens of zhang long and as thick as a water vat at its waist, instantly soared out amidst clouds and mist, landing above the Dragon Beast Dao Soldiers and letting out a dragon roar.
A more powerful and pure dragon might erupted!
"Roar! Roar!"
"This is bad! The Dao Soldiers are rebelling! Quickly activate the restrictions!"
An Evergreen Valley disciple's face drastically changed as he activated a cyan token in his hand.
Bang!
In an instant, the heads of the Dragon Beasts exploded, clearly struck dead by the restrictions!
"Oh dear. . . Although our Evergreen Valley's Dragon Beast Dao Soldiers are quite formidable against low-tier demon beasts, they cannot endure the presence of a higher-tier dragon!"
Heavenly Dragon Venerable exclaimed in alarm at the sight, "That's the dragon might of a fourth-tier flood dragon; even this old man falls short of it. . ."
Nangong Li's delicate brows furrowed slightly. "Where are the Eighteen Heavenly Consorts?"
The eighteen Core Formation female cultivators of the Wishful Thinking Sect immediately flew out, holding various musical treasures and resembling eighteen flying celestial maidens, transforming once more into heavenly devil manifestations.
Zheng!
Accompanied by an extremely piercing zither sound, the clamor of clashing weapons suddenly resounded.
The sound waves converged, like invisible blades, slicing the numerous Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros preparing to charge this defensive line into countless pieces. . .
The true battle had only just begun!
Roar! Roar!
On another battlefield, demon tigers continuously spewed crimson light beams from their mouths, striking the formation of the opposing cultivator array.
Those crimson light beams fell upon a white light barrier, slowly melting it, yet unable to harm the barrier in the slightest.
Just as the group of demon tigers paused in bewilderment, a massive banner flew out from the Human Race's formation, surrounded by countless smaller banners.
It was unmistakably a Spirit Treasure-grade Myriad Demon Banner, surrounded by numerous Thousand Demon Banners and Hundred Demon Banners, transforming into streaks of soul-hooking profound light.
The ink-green profound light swept across the demon tiger tribe. Regardless of whether they were first-tier, second-tier demon beasts, or third-tier Core Formation demon entities, the eyes of the tigers instantly lost all luster, and their bodies fell dead to the ground.
Streaks of tiger-shaped demon souls were hooked out by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, further increasing the treasure's power!
Upon the Bone Commander's Platform, Feng Shisan surveyed the entire battlefield, his expression slightly grim. "Though our side has more demon beasts, our cooperation and magical treasures are inferior to those of the Human Race cultivators. . ."
"There's a saying in the Earthly Immortal World that humans are the foremost of all spirits, and their talent in the myriad arts of cultivation surpasses all other races. Otherwise, why would our demon race and devil race prefer to take human forms? Now, it seems there's quite a bit of truth to it. . ."
Elder Qing dismissed it with indifference. "While the Demon-Reflecting Mirror is currently attracted by the Myriad Demon Grand Array, let the Four-Winged Flying Gadflies go. The Earth-Thorn Beasts can also prepare. . ."
"Yes!"
Feng Shisan's drumbeat changed.
Squeak! Squeak!
Groups of dragonfly-like demon beasts roared, constantly flying towards the cultivator formation.
"Be careful. . . flying demon beasts incoming!"
A Core Formation cultivator, protecting himself with a magical treasure, watched this scene with his scalp tingling, yet still shouted, "Scorching Sun Three-Ring Battle Array, activate!"
Behind him, disciples of his sect immediately infused their spiritual power into the array plates and flags in their hands, waving them rapidly.
Streaks of green flames converged, forming three rings that swept towards the Four-Winged Flying Gadfly swarm.
A large amount of spiritual power transformed into scorching flames, instantly inflicting heavy casualties on the flying demon beasts.
But with the death of the gadflies, more and more dense mist gradually spread out.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Many cultivators watched in horror as the light shield protecting their grand array emitted corrosive sounds upon encountering the poisonous mist, billowing out large amounts of white smoke.
"Not good."
Just as Nangong Li was about to issue orders, she suddenly heard her spirit beast muttering by her ear, and exclaimed, "Hundreds of zhang beneath the ground, demon beasts are approaching. . ."
She immediately flew out a blood-red transmission talisman, which shot towards the Seven Treasures Sky-Ship.
Heavenly Dragon Venerable stared at the Four-Eared Finger Monkey on Nangong Li's shoulder, his gaze dark. . .
Aboard the Seven Treasures Sky-Ship.
"An attack from underground?"
Tian Du Mojun took the blood-red transmission talisman and sneered, "Prepare. . . the Earth-Shaking Array!"
Rumble!
Moments later, a section of the battlefield's ground collapsed, and countless gigantic worm-like demon beasts were cut down by sword light, each severed into two halves. . .
Tian Du Mojun was utterly unconcerned by this.
He turned around and saw countless spirit ships flying out from his side, their surfaces rising with spiritual power shields, engaging in mutual slaughter and destruction with vast numbers of flying demon beasts. . .
"These are just conventional methods for now. The demon race must have trump cards. . ."
He muttered, then looked towards the deck.
The deck of the Seven Treasures Sky-Ship had, at some unknown point, been transformed into a dark altar.
Crimson blood continuously flowed down from the ancient, dark stone.
A young male Core Formation Perfected cultivator sat in the center of the altar, holding a dark token in his hand.
His bare upper body was covered in various symbols embroidered with ancient demonic script. . .
Below the altar, a beautiful woman dressed in a moon-colored gown, resembling an ancient priestess, held a small knife and continuously chanted incantations.
"If the Demon Summoning Physique fails, then this Nine Yin Physique must step up. . . Therefore, choosing her to preside over the sacrifice is truly the most fitting decision. " Tian Du Mojun watched this scene, a slight smile appearing on his face.
"Lord Demon Monarch, Senior Brother Qi is ready; he can activate the 'Demon Summoning Token' at any time. . ."
The beautiful Core Formation female demonic cultivator prostrated herself, her voice charmingly sweet.
"No hurry yet. . ."
Tian Du Mojun glanced at the battlefield again, seeing one fourth-tier demon beast after another flying out from the Commander's Platform. He couldn't help but smile, "The demon race is getting serious. Send down the order for our Nascent Soul cultivators to strike!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As both sides' Nascent Soul forces engaged, streaks of Spirit Treasure light and the demon cultivators' innate divine abilities collided. Even a tiny overflow of residual power from these clashes could leave a Core Formation cultivator dead without a burial ground.
The entire battlefield seemed to have transformed into a meat grinder. High-tier cultivators and demon beasts above the third tier, usually a rare sight, were now fighting like rabid dogs, their corpses strewn across the ground. . .
...
Rewind a little.
Tianli Plain.
A third-tier Iron-Winged Eagle seemed to be patrolling.
Swoosh!
The next instant, a patch of bloody light appeared.
Before the demon beast could react, its body was enveloped by a dense cloud of blood, instantly transforming into putrid blood and merging into the blood cloud.
The Blood Fiend Hall flew past without stopping. The essence of that third-tier demon beast seemed to have transformed into nourishment for the Blood Fiend Hall, further reducing Fang Xi's spiritual power consumption by a fraction. . .
'So, this Blood Fiend Hall contains another layer of restriction that can convert vital essence and blood, reducing the user's consumption? '
'If I weren't concerned about my reputation, it would truly be a decent treasure for long-distance flight. . . '
Fang Xi, clad in black and with the Green Reaping Sword on his back, wore a cold expression.
Suddenly.
From the distant horizon where heaven and earth met, a mountain peak abruptly emerged.
Initially, it was just a black dot, then layers of peaks unfolded, transforming into an entire mountain range.
Around a certain peak, a layer of ink-green demonic qi enveloped it, faintly forming the appearance of a certain array.
"Fengyue Mountain, reached!"
Fang Xi clasped his arms, stating coldly.
"It appears to be protected by an array. What should we do?"
Old Man White Cloud observed for a moment, feeling somewhat dispirited.
He was no array master.
"Naturally, we first break their array, then kill their demons. Once that's done. . . my mission will be complete."
Fang Xi laughed heartily.
As he was now, even encountering a fourth-tier superior-grade demon cultivator, he dared to fight. And with Elder Qing likely on the main battlefield, he felt almost entirely unconstrained.
Swoosh!
Under his manipulation, the Blood Fiend Hall transformed into a streak of light. After circling just a few times, it found a weak point in the array and mercilessly crashed into it!
This inherited Spirit Treasure of the Seven Fiends Hall was originally a weapon of slaughter!
Boom!
Blood light erupted, like streaks of crimson flood dragons, and combined with Fang Xi's expertise as an array master, it instantly tore the grand array to shreds.
The mist dispersed, revealing a verdant green mountain peak. Beneath the peak, there was a pond where, even in broad daylight, a phantom bright moon rose.
"The scenery here is quite good."
Fang Xi put away the Blood Fiend Hall and stood shoulder to shoulder with Old Man White Cloud and Old Man Fishing for Ao, already sensing several divine senses sweeping over them.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Four streaks of demonic qi shot out from Fengyue Mountain, transforming into four transformed great demons in mid-air.
The leading demon among them had a pair of ox horns on his head, was clad in black armor, and stood a full zhang tall. A startling demonic qi erupted from him, clearly indicating he had reached the peak of the fourth-tier mid-grade realm.
"Human cultivators, as expected, have come to ambush the eye of the conversion array!"
The ox-horned giant swung his massive wolf-fang mace fiercely, and a dull thud echoed in the void. The terrifying brute force made Old Man White Cloud and Old Man Fishing for Ao's expressions subtly change.
"Too bad they're only three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. Today, this old ox shall have a good taste of Human Race Nascent Souls. . ."
The ox-horned demon cultivator grinned ferociously.
"Brother Niu, don't underestimate them. That man should be 'Yun Jizi,' an peerless sword cultivator among the Human Race who once slew Brother Wind-Winged Tiger. . ."
Another fourth-tier low-grade demon cultivator spoke.
This demon resembled an upright giant wolf, but upon closer inspection, one would notice its hands were slightly shorter and its head shape differed from ordinary wolves; it was a jackal-like demon!
"So, you are Yun Jizi!"
The ox-horned demon cultivator snorted two plumes of fierce fire from his nostrils. "Prepare to face your death!"
He wielded his wolf-fang mace, sweeping it horizontally. Upon the mace, clusters of earthy-yellow spiritual light appeared, transforming into small mountains.
Five earthy-yellow hills materialized as phantoms, almost trapping all three Nascent Soul cultivators within them, forcing them to directly bear the demon cultivator's immense power!
Boom!
The dark wolf-fang mace, carrying the weight of five towering mountains, smashed down, but it landed on a five-colored lotus flower, blocked by a layer of five-colored light barrier.
Fang Xi's Five Elements Ring appeared in his hand, transforming into a set of five-colored armor that protected him. He glanced at his opponents. "You two, hold off those three fourth-tier low-grade demon cultivators first. I'll come assist you after I've slain this old ox!"
"Understood!"
Old Man White Cloud and Old Man Fishing for Ao exchanged glances, each holding half of a peculiar array disc in their hands.
When these two array discs joined, astonishing spiritual talismans instantly flew out, spreading across the sky, forming a strange myriad-phenomena magic domain that enveloped both wolf demons and the jackal-like demon. . .
