Chapter 457 - 450: The Fall of Tieling Pass (Second Release, Please Subscribe)
Buzz buzz!
The axe slashed down with unprecedented power, the killing intent more astounding than ever.
With this swing of the axe, a bloody light flickered.
It struck the city wall, countless arrays shattered, and countless cultivators were shaken to death.
Tieling Pass was horribly tragic.
"Hurry, hurry!"
Jin Xi spit out blood from her mouth, suffering a backlash injury as the arrays broke.
There was no time to heal, only to send a message, immediately hundreds of array masters were in action, repairing the arrays.
Under that last strike, countless arrays shattered, along with those damaged in previous battles, now less than one-third remained operational.
The situation was more critical than ever.
At that moment, a black-clothed man appeared in the void.
He flickered forward, grabbed the Demon God Axe, wielded it, causing the axe to flash with bloody light, runes pulsating up and down, and rays of destruction converging.
Transformed into a destructive axe light slashing down.
Rumble!
Tieling Pass shattered, countless arrays broke.
The array masters who went to repair, were vomiting blood en masse.
Some of the weaker array masters turned to ashes under a single blow.
Boom, boom, boom!
The black-clothed cultivator once again wielded the Demon God Axe, slashing down, one axe after another, fast and fierce.
In terms of attack power, it was slightly inferior to over 130 Great Demons attacking together, but the attack frequency was faster.
One axe after another, continuously, with little interval.
"Not good, this is the Demon Race’s Divinity Transformation... damn, using the strong to oppress the weak!"
Jin Xi watched this scene, a trace of despair flashing in her eyes.
Sensing the aura of the black-clothed cultivator, an aura as strong as the deep sea, the aura was of a Divinity Transformation powerhouse.
The Sixth Grade Spirit Treasure Demon God Axe, although powerful when wielded by a group of Nascent Soul cultivators, was difficult to maintain, needing rest before attacking again; yet in the hands of a Divinity Transformation Great Demon, it was terrifyingly powerful.
One axe after another, continuously coming.
Tieling Pass, on the verge of collapse.
At that moment, Jin Xi activated a secret technique to send a message out.
[The Demon Race’s Divinity Transformation has acted...]
...
Boom, boom, boom!
The Demon God Axe continuously pounded.
In the hands of the Divinity Transformation Great Demon, its explosive power was unprecedentedly strong.
After an hour of continuous pounding, as the black-clothed cultivator activated a secret technique to pound down, the arrays on Tieling Pass were completely obliterated.
The ninth layer of arrays fell into cessation, severely damaged, unable to operate.
The great axe slashed at the city gate, shattering it open.
With the shattering of the city gate, a large number of Demon Race surged in like a tide.
"Run for your lives!"
Jin Xi ordered, speaking to the other cultivators.
As she ordered, her heart was bitter beyond words.
In this battle, if one-tenth of the cultivators could break out, it would be considered lucky.
"Qinglian, let’s be the rear guard!"
Jin Xi said.
"It should be so!" True Monarch Qinglian nodded.
At that moment, True Monarch Qinglian and True Monarch Xi Yue fused together, the Yin Yang Illusionary Body perfectly merging, forming the complete Jin Xi.
At this moment, she was in a complete state.
Swipe!
At that moment, Jin Xi flickered, standing at the forefront, her eyes fixed on the black-clothed man.
Her expression was somewhat indifferent, yet filled with helplessness.
If it were possible, she would have wanted to leave first, escape if she could.
As for fighting for the people, for humanity, for someone like her, an exquisite self-serving individual, she did not believe in any of it.
But as she was about to retreat, she felt a sense of unease.
That black-clothed man, that Demon Race Divinity Transformation, had set his sights on her.
She could not withdraw, could not escape.
If she retreated first, she would suffer a fatal blow from the Demon Race Divinity Transformation.
"Interesting!"
The Demon Race Divinity Transformation spoke: "Why don’t you run!"
"Blood Bat Demon Venerable, do you plan to break the rules, to use the strong to oppress the weak, to attack me?" Jin Xi spoke, her words carrying a threat: "Aren’t you afraid of the East Pole Celestial Venerable?"
"Afraid, of course, I’m afraid."
The Blood Bat Demon Venerable said: "But I just need to pillage Chu Country a bit, then flee elsewhere, why would I fear being pursued by the East Pole Celestial Venerable. Kill!"
Saying this, a trace of evil qi flashed in his eyes, a destructive qi force pounding down.
Under this strike, it felt like a great mountain pressed down.
Jin Xi sensed this strike, a trace of despair flashing in her eyes.
The gap was too great.
Her sixth-layer Nascent Soul cultivation burst forth completely, yet she still couldn’t withstand a Divinity Transformation strike.
The gap between them was too great, in front of a Divinity Transformation, a late Nascent Soul cultivator was like an ant, unable to withstand a single blow.
Boom, boom, boom!
At that moment, the Chaos Ancient Hall appeared above her head.
As the Blood Bat Demon Venerable struck down, the ancient hall only shook slightly, dissipating most of the force.
Jin Xi transformed into a stream of light, entered the Chaos Ancient Hall, and activated the hall to disappear.
"Good magical treasure, at least a Sixth Grade Spirit Treasure, I wonder if it was temporarily lent by the Dan Yang Celestial Venerable, or by the Six Desires Celestial Venerable... if it fell into my hands!" The Blood Bat Demon Venerable flashed a trace of greed, transforming into a stream of light to pursue.
The Chaos Ancient Hall was flying, continuously traversing the void.
Like this, one escaped and one pursued, disappearing from the battlefield.
...
As Tieling Pass was breached, many cultivators felt cold in their hearts, feeling horror and fear.
Soon after, they began to break through.
Swipe!
Lu Xuanji activated a token to contact Lu Family members.
Moments later, Long Xuan, Ning Xue, Ye Wanyi and others gradually gathered around him.
Fifteen Golden Core cultivators of the Lu Family, and over a hundred Purple Mansion cultivators gradually gathered.
These were all pre-arranged before the battle.
This was originally the last plan, the worst-case scenario, but unexpectedly, it was utilized.
Lu Xuanji activated the [Grotto World Pearl] to take them all in, then activated the [Vertical Earth Golden Light] to disappear.
At the Fifth Layer, [Vertical Earth Golden Light] reached its pinnacle, as fast as Divinity Transformation.
Swipe!
The speed was extreme, comparable to Divinity Transformation escape techniques, disappearing a hundred thousand miles away in the blink of an eye.
Many Nascent Soul Great Demons couldn’t chase in time, vanishing from sight.
After ten breaths of the [Vertical Earth Golden Light], Lu Xuanji stopped, panting slightly.
Although [Vertical Earth Golden Light] was extremely fast, unrivaled for escaping, its endurance was poor, unable to last more than ten seconds.
At that moment, Lu Xuanji activated a secret technique to hide his traces, heading in another direction.
The target was the Lu Family.
The fall of Chu Country was already a foregone conclusion.
Value decreases when people leave their homeland.
Leaving Chu Country, migrating to other regions would mean enduring suppression by locals, but that’s secondary.
He passed by and saw the Demon Race slaughtering, massacring the Human Race.
Countless Humans were killed, countless Cultivation Immortality Clans headed towards destruction.
After traveling for a whole day, he finally returned to the Lu Family.
But in front of him, only devastation, broken walls, and ruins remained.
