Chapter 221 - 114: Devouring the Heavens
Hidden Sword Mountain, Celestial Demon Array.
This array is extraordinary, being the guardian array of the Celestial Demon Palace, capable of attracting thousands of demons, forming a boundary on its own, with reversed formation, time and space distorted, and imbued with various Celestial Demon Evil Powers, reaching up to Twelve-level Immortal Demon. Even True Immortals entering would face the risk of demise.
Currently, this Celestial Demon Great Array, though not reaching the Immortal Demon Realm, has been strengthened to a Six-Class Rank with the costly input from the Celestial Slaughter Demon Monarch and several Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators, becoming crucial in besieging the Profound Void Secret Realm.
This Hidden Sword Mountain originally belonged to a small Foundation Establishment Sect, with a low grade Spirit Vein, forcibly annexed after the emergence of the Profound Void Secret Realm, channeling Spiritual Qi sealed within the secret realm by the Mystic Sect using the Three Talents Array as a line of resistance against demons.
The demons besiege the Profound Void Secret Realm but lack usable Spiritual Qi, ultimately resorting to their resources, using a vast number of Spirit Stones to create a Tier Six Earth Vein and use it as a foundation to set up the Celestial Demon Array against the Mystic Sect.
In such a way, after several decades of attrition, both sides suffer significant damages, Earth Vein Spiritual Energy depletes, and the array’s rank decreases; however, one side remains besieged, consuming resources without replenishment, while the other side outside can resupply.
Thus, in the end, the Demon Dao gains the upper hand, the Celestial Demon Array maintaining a Six-Class Rank, while the Mystic Sect’s Three Talents Array declines to Tier Five, nearing collapse.
But even the Tier Five Array is powerful enough to burn jade and stone together, the entire Profound Void Secret Realm’s Spiritual Qi being ignited, discharging in the most extreme way, surging into the Celestial Demon Array, exterminating thousands of demons and even forcing some openings.
Moreover, a golden light, sharp like a sword, rushes towards the opening.
"Trying to escape!"
At this moment, the demonic light flickers, the array changes, closing the opening swiftly, several Nascent Soul old demons take action, invoking thousands of demons like a torrent, mixed with numerous Demon Dao Divine Techniques and sinister tricks, intercepting the golden light.
"Open!!!"
Inside the Golden Ship of Calamity, three Nascent Souls sit in a triangle formation, using the Three Talents Technique to jointly drive this Seven-Class Rank Escape Treasure, pushing through the horde of demons, seeking a path of survival.
Yet, the demon array is extraordinary, reinforced by a collective demon effort, even a Tier Seven Magical Treasure struggles to break through momentarily.
The confrontation reaches a fever pitch, with no easy resolution or separation.
Right now, beneath Hidden Sword Mountain, in the dungeon.
Correct, the dungeon!
The base of Hidden Sword Mountain has been hollowed out, formed into a dungeon, imprisoning over ten thousand cultivators.
Although only numbering over ten thousand, their quality is exceptional, with the lowest having Qi Refining Cultivation, Foundation Establishment Golden Core being commonplace, and even several Nascent Souls shackled underground.
At this moment, within the depths, demonic currents riot!
In the void, ripples appear, seemingly transmitting the voice of a Celestial Demon.
Those shackled and imprisoned cultivators sitting on the ground immediately show pained expressions.
"Ah!!!"
"Jie jie jie!"
Screams resound, a Golden Core cultivator’s face contorts, his hairpin explodes, and a demon formed of his Divine Soul tears through his scalp, crawling out from his skull with a cold sneer, bringing his entire True Essence Magical Power, Flesh and Blood Essence, heading deeper into the array.
Such an event triggers a flow, all demon cultivators who practiced the Ten Thousand Dao of Heaven Demon Great Technique and its branches have their demons seize control, the Demon Seed matured, returning to the Demon Lord.
"Ah!!!"
"Celestial Slaughter!!"
"Damn you..."
Several Nascent Souls who converted from heterodox sects now have twisted faces, desperately resisting the Demon Dao Technique but to no avail, the Demon Seed sprouts within, gradually seizing control of their bodies and Nascent Souls, leaving them uttering powerless curses and maledictions.
"Pugh!!!"
Eventually, the Nascent Soul Demon Seed matures, flesh and blood burst out, demons carrying essence rush towards the Demon Lord, leaving behind mere hollow paper-thin shells on the ground.
Such a scene horrifies those demon cultivators, who did not practice the Celestial Demon Technique, narrowly escaping a disaster.
No, they didn’t escape!
Even without practicing the Celestial Demon Technique, under the sweep of demonic qi, numerous demon cultivators turned into skeletons, their True Yuan, Magical Power, Flesh and Blood Divine Soul—all essence swallowed by demons.
"Boom!!!"
Finally, a loud bang shatters the underground cave, a terrifying demonic shadow emerges from within.
At this moment, Hidden Sword Mountain is shrouded in endless catastrophe clouds, a thousand miles without sunlight or moonlight, only with crashing thunder and lightning from the clouds.
However, the demonic shadow arises, even more dreadful, thousands of demons swarm in, entirely devoured by it, transforming into demonic nourishment, turning into a ten-thousand-zhang figure.
A ten-thousand-zhang gigantic demon, heaven-reaching and earth-shattering, surrounded by demonic currents, like an abyss of darkness.
Precisely...
"Ten Thousand Dao Celestial Demons!"
"Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect!"
In the Celestial Demon Array, several authentically born Demon Nascent Souls’ eyes narrow, shouting the origin of this demon, the Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect of the Celestial Slaughter Demon Monarch—Ten Thousand Dao Celestial Demons!
Twelve Realms of Cultivation, Three Gates and One Celestial Layer, crossing every three gates separates a massive watershed, from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, from Nascent Soul to Divinity Transformation, from Integration to Mahayana, all like this.
And the Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect marks the distinction between Divinity Transformation Cultivators and Nascent Souls.
After cultivators transform from Nascent Soul to Divine, they can connect their Primordial Spirit to heavens and earth, channeling Heaven and Earth Primordial Spirit to bolster their Primordial Spirit, transforming into Dharma Aspect, not only exponentially increasing magical power and divine techniques, but also merging with heaven and earth, invoking the power of the Great Dao to create an absolute domain, suppressing all heretics.
Celestial Slaughter Demon Monarch hailing from the Celestial Demon Palace trained his Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect through the Ten Thousand Dao of Heaven Demon Great Technique, the resulting Ten Thousand Dao Celestial Demons capable of transforming one technique into ten thousand, one path into ten thousand paths.
Today, it’s revealed.
"Roar!!!"
The Ten Thousand Dao Celestial Demons unleash an earth-shattering roar, revealing flashes of blood light within the abyss of darkness, transforming the dark body into black-red, demonic qi violently surging around, collapsing the void into a vortex, exploding with terrifying suction force.
