“What’s going on with this evil aura?” Great Elder Yun Waitian gritted his teeth and said, “The Fallen Flame Demonic Art of Prince Huai’s Mansion is menacing, but compared to this aura… there is simply a world of difference.”
“At this point, there’s no point in thinking too much. We need to be prepared and defend the city with all our strength. Only after we get through today can we think about other things. If we can’t defend it... we won’t have a tomorrow!” Yun Qinghong said sternly.
Yun Qinghong rarely said pessimistic words, and he had never said such pessimistic words. Yun Duanshui, the second elder of the Yun family, shook his head and said unwillingly: "Is Xuanyuan Wentian really so terrifying now?"
Yun Qinghong did not answer. He looked ahead and said coldly, “Xuanyuan Wentian, please show yourself. Playing tricks will only make people laugh at you!”
“Hehehe…hahahaha!!”
Dark clouds rolled in the distance, and a low laugh sounded like thunder in the sky. Suddenly, the dark clouds spread from afar in an instant, covering most of the Demon King City, making the light suddenly dim, especially the area where the Yun Family and the Tianxia Family were located. It was as gloomy as if the night had suddenly fallen, and the laughter from the sky turned into a wanton laugh.
“Yun Qinghong, it’s you who came to greet me. Could it be that the little demon queen has already run away in fear?”
Under the dark clouds, a figure slowly sank. He was surrounded by black air, and his eyes emitted a strange black light. As he appeared, an indescribable cold breath rushed over, causing everyone to shiver uncontrollably.
Although he appeared in the north of Demon King City, his cold aura and voice covered the entire Demon King City.
The majority of people in the Demon King City doubted whether Xuanyuan Wentian was as powerful as Yun Qinghong thought, and also doubted that this move was simply exaggerated to the extreme. But as this aura descended, even the powerful Emperor could not control his whole body and trembled, and a huge fear grew and spread like a plague in his heart.
It was not until this moment that they truly understood what a terrifying enemy they were about to face.
Yun Qinghong's pupils shrank slightly when he saw the figure that appeared in the darkness... because the appearance of this person was not the Xuanyuan Wentian he knew, and his aura was completely different.
“Actually…actually there is such a thing as possession!?” Tian Xia Xiong Tu had not only seen Xuanyuan Wentian before, but had also had a brief battle with him a hundred years ago. He recognized Xuanyuan Wentian’s voice, but the face that appeared in his sight was a completely unfamiliar one.
“Want to meet the Little Demon Queen? That depends on whether you have the ability to do so!” Yun Qinghong stretched out his hand and pressed it on the city protection barrier in front of him. Xuanyuan Wentian was already in front of him. According to the descriptions of Number One Under Heaven and Xiao Yun, he estimated Xuanyuan Wentian’s strength to the greatest extent and did not dare to underestimate him. In the end, he made the current choice... But with Xuanyuan Wentian already in front of him, he was shocked to find that the other party’s terrifying power still exceeded his expectations.
And it goes far beyond that.
The words that Xiao Yun and Number One Under Heaven had just said clearly indicated that Xuanyuan Wentian was only slightly better than the Little Demon Queen three months ago, and was by no means as overwhelmingly powerful as he is now.
He couldn’t imagine how Xuanyuan Wentian had gained strength that surpassed the Little Demon Queen in just a hundred years, and he couldn’t imagine how he had made such great progress in just three months that it was simply against the laws of nature.
“Hehehe,” Xuanyuan Wentian laughed lightly with contempt. Standing in front of him was not only Yun Qinghong, but also hundreds of thousands of profound practitioners. However, his eyes were full of pity: “Yun Qinghong, it seems that you still have no idea of the situation. That idiot Ming Wang has been praising you endlessly and even regarded you as the biggest stumbling block. I thought you were so smart, but it turns out that you are just a humble and stupid wretch. You even dream of making this meaningless struggle. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, could it be that you want me to have a little more fun?”
Yun Qinghong had never heard such an arrogant voice in his life. And this arrogance was not deliberate, but a contempt for the entire world and all living things in the world under the possession of absolute power.
“Xuanyuan Wentian, what on earth do you want to do!!” Tianxia Xiongtu roared.
“What do you want?” Xuanyuan Wentian narrowed his eyes slightly. “Of course, I want to kill whoever I want to kill and take what I want to take. All I have wanted is the Samsara Mirror. I have no interest in your Illusory Demon Realm. Unfortunately, your Little Demon Queen not only disobeyed me, but also injured my demon body. It took me a whole month to recover. This is such an unforgivable sin.”
Xuanyuan Wentian slowly stretched out his hand, palm facing downward, his eyes as sinister as a ghost: “Not only will I tear her to pieces today, I will also turn your Demon King City into ruins forever! Let that foolish woman know the consequences of angering me! When you go to hell, don’t forget that it was that foolish woman who ruined you!”
"you……"
“No need to waste time talking to him!” Yun Qinghong said in a deep voice. At this point, he no longer had any fear: “He has completely turned into a lunatic… No, he has been a lunatic from the beginning to the end! We must defend the Demon King City with our lives at stake!”
“Just you? Just this ridiculous barrier? Hahahahaha…” Xuanyuan Wentian laughed wildly: “Tsk tsk, you pathetic people will only be pathetic creatures in this life, thinking that being a mere emperor is already the pinnacle and you will never know what true power is. What a pity! No matter you so-called strong men in the Illusory Demon Realm, or your self-proclaimed powerful barriers, in front of this deity, you are nothing but a pile of vulnerable garbage!”
"Take a good look at what real power is!"
A dark light shone brightly on Xuanyuan Wentian’s body, and a jet-black sword beam with a sharp sound that could tear through the void fell from the sky and shot straight at Yun Qinghong.
Snap! !
The pitch-black sword light hit the city defense formation. In an instant, the originally translucent barrier burst out with a strong black light. Hundreds of tiny cracks began to spread rapidly where the sword light touched, but it did not break. The black sword light instantly dispersed under the recoil force, and the fine cracks on the barrier began to slowly recover.
"Oh?" Xuanyuan Wentian's eyes narrowed, obviously quite surprised.
But Yun Qinghong and the others were shocked.
Xuanyuan Wentian just casually swung a sword beam from this city defense formation that was forcibly awakened by the entire Demon King City at all costs, and it actually created a crack!
“Patriarch…” The voices of several elders behind Yun Qinghong began to tremble.
“Be prepared.” Yun Qinghong said coldly: “Don’t have any more illusions. He is so powerful. Either hold on or die!”
"I'll say it again. You can only leave the city defense formation, not enter it. Don't rush outside the barrier by mistake!"
“You think a mere barrier can stop me?” Although Xuanyuan Wentian’s sword light was casually shot out, it was the power of half a step into the mystical realm, and it did not break the barrier in one blow. This obviously hurt his self-esteem slightly, and the murderous aura in his body suddenly increased, and his voice became suffocatingly low.
"You will soon realize how ridiculous your struggle is!"
Xuanyuan Wentian roared as black mist rose from his body. A dark shadow passed by, and dark profound energy infused his right hand as he grabbed at the city protection barrier.
"Defense barrier!!!"
At Yun Qinghong's roar, the Yun family's disciples, who had been ready for a long time, rushed into the sky like a group of eagles, releasing all their profound energy without reservation, transforming it into thunder in the sky, and smashed into the barrier with bursts of hoarse roars.
All the power they inflicted on the barrier was transformed into the barrier's instantaneous defense, causing the city-protecting barrier to suddenly become as bright purple as amethyst.
BANG!!!
Xuanyuan Wentian’s right hand hit the barrier, and a ball of black light exploded. The barrier was slightly dented, but it did not break, and there was not even a crack. A recoil force that was far beyond Xuanyuan Wentian’s expectations suddenly hit him, knocking him over a hundred feet away in an instant.
"Success...success!" Xiao Yun shouted excitedly.
“Heh…” Xuanyuan Wentian, who had been bounced away, raised his head abruptly, his eyes glowing with black light fixed on the barrier that he had previously ignored. “A defensive barrier that can concentrate the internal profound energy. Such a thing actually exists in such a small Illusory Demon Realm!”
“Humph! This is the crystallization of the wisdom and power of my Illusory Demon ancestor. Now, it has also gathered the strength and will of all of us.” Yun Qinghong said coldly: “How can a crazy lunatic like you break it.”
“Oh, is that so?” Xuanyuan Wentian let out an extremely dangerous sneer: “My power has long surpassed the boundaries of this world. There is nothing in this world that can stop me, let alone a mere barrier!!”
Xuanyuan Wentian waved his hands, and black air rolled up behind him, then suddenly transformed into dozens of dark tentacles, which concentrated on bombarding the barrier in front of Yun Qinghong.
Yun Qinghong's Purple Cloud Power had been activated to its full potential, and both of his palms had turned dark purple. He then directly blasted towards the barrier with Xuanyuan Wentian's dark power. The elders and disciples of the Yun family also followed Yun Qinghong's movements and shouted loudly, blasting their power onto the barrier.
The most ingenious part of the Demon King City's defensive formation is that it can absorb the profound power in the formation and transform it into its own defensive power. The defensive formation is divided into eight formation areas. Any power in the formation that hits it will be transformed into the defensive profound power of the formation area, and the conversion rate is extremely high.
This city defense formation has existed for thousands of years, but this is the first time it has been used. Its power has brought surprise and hope to everyone.
Bang bang bang bang bang...
Like a meteorite falling, the roar shook the sky. Xuanyuan Wentian’s power was incomparably terrifying, but the purple barrier held on tightly, with no signs of being blasted open. Occasionally, cracks appeared, but they would disappear immediately.
Although the Yun family is powerful, facing Xuanyuan Wentian, whose strength has already stepped half a step into the divine way, even if all the elders and disciples of the Yun family surrounded him, the end result would be the death of all of them.
However, the defensive force formed by concentrating the profound energy of all the people in the Yun family together is too strong for even Xuanyuan Wentian to break through easily!
Looking at the barrier that was still intact under his power, the black light in Xuanyuan Wentian’s pupils became slightly ferocious. His eyes widened and he let out a low roar. Thousands of pitch-black sword beams filled the sky.
"Pointless struggle... All of you go to hell!!"
Thousands of sword beams shot down like a doomsday rain.
“Hold on with all your strength!” Yun Qinghong’s Purple Cloud Technique, which had already been used to the limit, was forcibly raised by one more point, and at the same time he shouted, “Brother Tianxia!!”
Snap, snap, snap, snap…
The dark sword light fiercely pierced the purple barrier like a sharp blade from hell. Although separated by the barrier, all the disciples of the Yun family still endured the unprecedented pressure of death. Their eyes were all red, and they blasted out the Purple Cloud Skill like crazy, trying their best to support the barrier that determined the fate of the entire Demon King City.
Click…
But under the dark sword light that was like a rainstorm, the purple light of the barrier began to dissipate layer by layer, emitting bursts of piercing hissing sounds, and cracks began to appear and gradually spread.
At this moment, with a roar from Tianxia Xiongtu, all the Tianxia families that had not taken any action so far rose into the air, and tens of thousands of light green mysterious lights shone gently.
Clang!!
The purple city-protecting barrier suddenly released a emerald green light. Under the blend of deep purple and emerald green, the cracks on the barrier quickly disappeared. The dark sword light was still falling madly, but it could no longer hurt the barrier in the slightest.
