Chapter 472: Turning Point (Making Up for Owed Chapter 33)
"I suppose this counts as contributing to the human race of the South Barrens."
"In terms of actual effort, Tian Du Mojun can't even compare to me."
Fang Xi casually unleashed a stream of Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light, striking the altar.
Ohm!
A shimmering, dark green light immediately surfaced on the altar's surface, clearly activating its automatic defensive formation.
That wisp of Heavenly Demon Qi, too, bared its fangs and claws, suddenly thickening as if to transform into a dark green Flood Dragon to counterattack!
"Go!"
Purple light swirled in Fang Xi's eyes, and the Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light suddenly transformed into countless wisps of green liquid, seeping into the formation's weak points.
Moments later, the altar collapsed with a roar. Just as that wisp of Heavenly Demon Qi tried to soar away, Fang Xi flicked his fingers repeatedly, and streams of Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light trapped it.
Roar! Roar!
From within the dark green Heavenly Demon Qi, a sudden roar erupted.
This roar was like a dragon's bellow, yet also like a phoenix's cry, a Qilin's call, a wolf's howl, an ox's roar, an eagle's shriek. . .
It was the collected roar of ten thousand demons!
Even Fang Xi, upon hearing it, felt his qi and blood churn within him, his skin prickle with an itch, as if scales were about to sprout.
"Seal!"
This Heavenly Demon Qi was so malevolent that he dared not delay, summoning his 'Two Modes Jade Gui'.
The Two Modes Jade Gui opened, and circles of intricate runes flashed with light above its mouth, suddenly transforming into a Taiji diagram, spinning yin and yang, engulfing the Heavenly Demon Qi.
The countless beast roars were instantly cut off.
The Heavenly Demon Qi slowly coiled and thinned. . . transforming back into a dark green, hair-like wisp of aura, like the source of ten thousand demons, settling inside the Two Modes Jade Gui.
Snap!
Fang Xi struck out a spell-incantation, closing the lid of the gui, and feeling the various abnormalities within him subside, he slowly exhaled a long breath.
"The Conversion Array is destroyed, the demon race's strength is diminished, the human race's suppression is lifted. . . If we still lose like this, I'll just run!"
Just as he was inwardly hardening his resolve, his expression suddenly changed.
Through the 'Green Reaping Sword's' sensing, he perceived that Nangong Li's situation on the main battlefield seemed far from ideal. . .
...
A moment before.
Tianli Plain.
Main battlefield.
As the Nascent Soul combatants of both sides engaged in chaotic battle, the intensity of the war sharply increased.
Spirit talismans flew chaotically everywhere, the spiritual light of magical treasures and artifacts shimmered, and the roars of various puppets, spirit beasts, and war galleons filled the air. . .
One after another, demon beasts were shot down by spirit galleons, yet the massive spirit galleons themselves were torn apart by even more ferocious fourth-order demon beasts revealing their true forms. . .
Nangong Li, relying on her 'Four-Eared Finger Monkey', was arguably the one with the clearest understanding of the battle.
"To the east. . . there's a large number of flying demonic birds!"
Suddenly, the Four-Eared Finger Monkey whispered something into Nangong Li's ear, causing the goddess's expression to subtly change: "At this point, have the enemies finally revealed a hidden card?"
Whoosh!
A vibrant red sound transmission talisman flew out, landing in Tian Du Mojun's hand, who was on the Seven Treasures Pavilion Ship.
He was currently the only Nascent Soul cultivator remaining who hadn't yet entered the fray.
"Demonic birds? !"
Tian Du Mojun's eyes glittered with sharp light: "Demon-Summoning Mirror!"
Swish!
The spirit-treasure-grade Demon-Summoning Mirror soared upwards, unleashing a tens-of-thousands-of-zhang-long beam of light that swept towards the east.
A patch of clouds was torn open as if by a rending force, revealing a dense swarm of green demonic birds behind it.
These demonic birds had pure green feathers, resembled vultures, and upon seeing the battlefield littered with corpses and gore. . . they emitted ear-piercing screeches.
The leading one, with a massive fleshy growth on its head, appeared even more ferociously cruel, its aura having surprisingly reached the peak of the fourth-order middle-grade!
Kree!
As this demonic bird let out a strange cry, clusters of green mist appeared from within the flock, swiftly encroaching upon the cultivators.
That green mist could not only block divine consciousness, but also seemed to carry some formidable restriction.
A cultivator battle formation roared, and under the leadership of a Nascent Soul cultivator, suddenly transformed into a towering giant's phantom, wielding two war hammers, smashing them fiercely onto the green mist.
Poof!
The green mist trembled slightly, then absorbed the blow as if nothing had happened, enveloping the entire battle formation.
Before long, the clamor within quickly subsided, and the azure mist suddenly expanded by several portions, continuing to engulf the next cultivator legion. . .
"It's the Heavenly Azure Cloud Vultures!"
Tian Du Mojun's eyes narrowed: "This is their innate divine ability—the Heavenly Azure Cloud Realm! It should be several times more powerful than the Carefree Duke's 'Heaven's Vault Cloud Sea Art'. . . Apart from a grand cultivator personally taking action, there are only a handful of methods to break it. . ."
Most Nascent Soul cultivators on the battlefield are currently held back, and he also needs to keep an eye on Qing Changlao.
After much thought, he decided he could only delay them for now.
Tian Du Mojun pulled out a sound transmission talisman and activated it with a raised hand.
"Hmph! Tian Du Mojun certainly knows how to boss people around!"
Gui Mu Yin Ji, currently wielding her Ghost Pigeon Staff, was radiating waves of Yin qi, trapping two fourth-order demon beasts, when she received the sound transmission talisman. A flicker of displeasure crossed her face, but knowing this matter couldn't be delayed, she immediately barked coldly behind her: "Invite the Dharma Bodies of the Second and Third Ancestors to first entangle these two demon beasts! This old one will retrieve their inner cores later!"
"Yes!"
The Core Formation cultivators of the Heavenly Ghost Dao Sect dared not delay. From their Yin Corpse Pouches, they pulled out two coffins plastered with talismans, from within which faint growls could be heard.
This was the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Heavenly Ghost Dao Sect from previous generations, whose physical bodies, after their deaths, were refined by the sect into a special type of divine demon!Their power was unparalleled, and even battling fourth-order demon beasts for a short time posed no problem for them.
They were the true foundation of a demonic sect!
Gui Mu Yin Ji transformed into a streak of gray light, landing before the Heavenly Azure Cloud Realm, and let out a hoarse roar: "Tian Du Mojun, you owe this old one at least double! Otherwise, this old one will fight you to the death!"
She gazed at the encroaching Heavenly Azure Cloud Realm, and threw out the swaddling cloth from her embrace.
At the same time, she bit her finger, muttered an incantation, and caused nine drops of fresh blood to fly out.
Waaah!
The cry of an infant came from within the swaddling, and then a baby, entirely dark blue-black and riding on ghostly clouds, crawled out, greedily devouring the essence blood in mid-air.
Following closely, came the second, then the third. . .
Finally, after all nine infants had devoured the essence blood, their skin tore from their scalps, and their bodies began to contort and swell. . . In a flash, they transformed into nine mountain-sized Ghost Kings, howling as they lunged towards the Heavenly Azure Cloud Realm.
Gui Mu Yin Ji's expression grew incredibly solemn, and she chanted another spell-incantation.
A phantom figure emerged behind her, swiftly materializing from illusion to reality—a divine demon with an enormous belly!
The Nine Children Mother Divine Demon is divided into two types, child and mother; the most powerful and terrifying one is the Mother Divine Demon, which can continuously produce ghost children!
The nine ghost children cackled strangely, spewing forth streams of chilling white flames from their mouths.
The chilling white flames landed on the Heavenly Azure Cloud Realm, swiftly devouring the mist and revealing the Heavenly Azure Cloud Vultures behind.
That fourth-order demonic bird with the fleshy growth let out a strange cry and immediately clashed with the Nine Ghost Children Divine Demons.
...
"The Nine Children Mother Divine Demon. . . truly lives up to its name as the most cruel and bloodthirsty divine demon refining method in the demonic path."
Nangong Li hadn't witnessed it firsthand, but upon hearing the Four-Eared Finger Monkey's relay, she murmured, then looked towards Old Demon Kongsang: "Fellow Daoist's demonic corpses should also be making a move now."
"Fellow Daoist, rest assured. This old man has already activated the 'Blood Droplet', using it to refine the demonic corpses. Although it will be rendered useless after this single use, increasing their power by thirty to forty percent will be no problem."
Old Demon Kongsang let out a strange laugh, then instructed the Seven Kills Hall disciples to release a cloud of corpses.
Within the swirling mist, one by one, slow-moving, armor-clad, shambling. . . demonic corpses, like walking dead, slowly emerged.
...
On the White Bone Reviewing Stand of the demon race.
Feng Shisan stopped beating the drum, his divine consciousness noticing a wave of demonic corpses charging out and slaughtering profusely among the demon beasts. His expression turned slightly grim.
At this moment, the battlefield was a chaotic mess, vaguely divided into several factions.
The most striking, naturally, was the Nine Children Mother Divine Demon battling the Heavenly Azure Cloud Realm divine ability.
Beyond that, Nangong Li's side of the battle was also going quite well, holding a definite advantage with the cooperation of the eighteen Heavenly Concubines and the demonic corpse army.
The ground below was mostly the battlefield for low-level cultivators, while high up in the nine heavens, Nascent Soul cultivators were fiercely clashing with fourth-order demon beasts.
"Now, both sides have pretty much revealed their hidden cards."
Qing Changlao rose with a light and carefree air, his divine consciousness fixated on Tian Du Mojun opposite him: "Demon Lord, are you willing to fight?"
"Couldn't ask for more!"
Tian Du Mojun glanced at the Demon Summoning Altar behind him, a faint smirk playing on his lips.
Two late-stage Nascent Soul-level streams of magic power instantly collided, forming a vortex of elemental qi that even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators dared not approach.
Then, accompanied by a clear and resonant phoenix cry, an incomparably majestic Heavenly Phoenix and a streak of demonic light fiercely clashed, soaring straight into the heavens in a blink of an eye!
"It's time to begin!"
Feng Shisan murmured, crushing a 'Co-Heart Insect' in his hand.
These insects are born in pairs; if one dies, the other cannot survive alone.
And the other Co-Heart Insect was, naturally, in Heavenly Dragon Venerable's hand.
"The Four-Eared Finger Monkey's listening ability is too terrifying. It's best to eliminate it first. . . Now, seizing this opportune moment, it's just perfect."
Just as Feng Shisan murmured, his expression suddenly changed!
Crack!
One fissure after another suddenly appeared on the Reviewing Stand.
He could feel that the omnipresent demon qi in the void had instantly thinned by several tenths!
Not only that, this very heaven and earth seemed to have transformed from a mother's gentle embrace to a cruel adversary!
The native demon race was fine, but those of their demon race who had crossed realms would actually face the enmity of this heaven and earth; it just wasn't as obvious as for fifth-order demon cultivators who could manipulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
Countless demon beasts shrieked, their strength diminishing by several tenths!
In contrast, the cultivators who had been fighting bitterly suddenly felt the spiritual energy in the void grow richer, and even their magic power recovery sped up considerably.
Perhaps it was precisely this tiny bit of magic power that would allow them one last activation of an artifact or talisman, enabling a crucial counter-kill!
"This is. . ."
"The Conversion Array. . . it's broken? !"
Feng Shisan's face turned savage: "Those guarding the array nodes are all imbeciles. . . No, there's also Feng Qing! This woman personally led a team to reinforce, and I, out of good intentions, let her guard the rear, yet she still managed to screw things up. . ."
An incredibly savage expression appeared on his handsome face. He suddenly pulled out a sound transmission conch: "Huiqiu. . . The overall situation is still undecided, and our demon race still holds the advantage. It's time for the Cicada Child to act. . . Once the signal appears, kill Tian Du Mojun first!"
