At Changkun Mountain, there is a fortress every thousand feet along the edge of the endless abyss. The walls of these fortresses are engraved with many runes and covered with talismans of different colors.
People from all the major powers in the Canglan Realm have selected their disciples to guard these fortresses. The Kunshan Lu Clan sent Lu Yunchuan and Lu Yunlin to guard the Endless Abyss. Ten years have passed, and Lu Yunchuan is now in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while Lu Yunlin is now in the early stage of the Core Formation realm.
Ayao refined a large number of pills and distributed them to everyone. These pills had varying degrees of effect in enhancing cultivation. Were there any side effects to this kind of cultivation enhancement? Of course, there were.
Moreover, the side effects are extremely severe.
But if you don't improve, you won't even have the chance to live to see the day the side effects start.
In this situation, even knowing there are side effects, everyone still took it without hesitation.
Lu Yunlin stood on a city wall, looking at the distant sky filled with miasma and poisonous gas, and coldly snorted:
"Below this endless abyss lies the boundary gate. If war breaks out, this will be the front line. Sending the two of us here is a sign that Lu Xueyao is a vicious woman. She doesn't want to kill us with her own hands and bear the infamy of fratricide. She wants to use the demons to get rid of us."
Lu Yunchuan sneered: "She's practically all-powerful in the Canglan Realm now. Heaven really has no eyes!"
"I think this whole thing about the demon race is probably just a lie she told us. She's fooled all of us," Lu Yunlin said indignantly.
He had barely finished speaking when a rumbling sound and tremors came from the earth, emanating from the depths of the endless abyss.
Lu Yunlin and Lu Yunchuan's expressions both changed.
Below the endless abyss, at the boundary gate, there were also cultivators guarding it. These cultivators were now staring at the boundary gate with expressions of terror.
Golden light erupted from the boundary gate, signifying that the demon race was launching a fierce attack on it from the Void Realm. Amidst the blinding golden light, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator immediately began forming hand seals, causing all the flags planted nearby to fly up and towards the boundary gate, forming layers of seals.
The other cultivators around him also took action to reinforce the seal on the interface.
In just a few breaths, a beam of red light broke through the seal of the boundary gate. With a deafening roar, the golden spirit sword on the lintel of the boundary gate cracked open, the boundary gate was blown apart, and all the cultivators guarding the boundary gate were reduced to ashes in the red light.
The red light surged forth from the boundary gate like a tidal wave, illuminating the entire Endless Abyss. Sensing the impending danger, all the fortresses along the edge of the Endless Abyss automatically activated their protective formations.
After beams of light shot out from the fortress, countless runes fell off the walls and flew towards the endless abyss as if they had come to life. These runes formed an array of the five elements, covering the sky above the endless abyss.
The demons surging out of the gates must destroy these formations before they can break through.
Rumble—
Countless demons burst forth from the boundary gate and flew out of the abyss, attacking the magic array above the abyss. Various sharp whistles, explosions, and roars made the cultivators inside the fortress's mind reel and their bodies tremble. The earth shook violently. Under the frenzied attacks of the demons, some magic arrays immediately developed cracks.
Lu Yunchuan, Lu Yunlin, and the people next to them all turned pale. The demons had really invaded!
With a deafening roar, a magic array was ripped apart by a giant claw. After the magic array was torn apart, a demon with huge, bat-like wings flew out of the abyss. This demon was over ten zhang tall and exuded the aura of the early stage of the Integration Realm.
After it appeared, it opened its mouth wide and let out a shrill scream. The sound was so terrifying that Lu Yunchuan and Lu Yunlin immediately coughed up blood. Fortunately, their fortress had a protective array, which saved their lives. So terrifying, they lost all courage to fight.
escape!
We must escape!
The two brothers got up and flew towards the teleportation array inside the fortress. Every fortress has a teleportation array that can transport you to the second line of defense.
After one demon broke through the magic circle, more demons followed.
Suddenly, a high-pitched zither melody rang out, and countless dense flying swords accompanied the sound waves, instantly annihilating the demons below the Nascent Soul stage. A white figure appeared; the peerless beauty in white robes, Nangong Qi, appeared in the sky. After wielding the Spring Thunder Zither and slaying the demon with bat wings, he shouted:
"Don't panic! Activate all the formations!"
Over the past ten years, Nangong Qi's strength has increased from the early stage of Void Refinement to the early stage of Body Integration. A Yao told him that such an improvement would greatly shorten his lifespan and damage his foundation, making it impossible for him to advance further.
Nangong Qi said with a smile:
"As long as you're alive, you can find a way. The stronger you are, the greater your chances of survival."
The disciples of the Nangong family immediately responded to Nangong Qi's order, and then the others calmed down and activated the remaining formations.
The talismans affixed to the fortresses all detached from the walls and flew towards the endless abyss. The golden ones transformed into flying swords to kill the demons, the red ones became fireballs, the blue ones became ice spikes, the cyan ones became lightning bolts, and the earthen yellow ones became sandstorms...
The activation of various formations immediately forced the demons to retreat.
However, at this moment, a powerful aura of a Tribulation Transcending cultivator emerged from the depths of the endless abyss, causing the entire abyss to tremble. Nangong Qi sensed this aura and his expression changed drastically.
The entire abyss resounded with a deafening roar, and the cliffs began to collapse, along with the fortress.
"Retreat!" Nangong Qi shouted.
"Retreat to the second line of defense!"
Without hesitation, everyone flew towards the nearest teleportation array, while tens of thousands of people flew in the opposite direction, all of whom had slave marks on their foreheads.
Their orders were to fight to the death, even if it meant self-destruction to take the enemy down with them.
The Azure Lotus Sect Master, along with other Azure Lotus Sect disciples and many demonic cultivators, all had empty eyes at this moment, unaware of fear as they unleashed their supernatural powers and continued fighting.
The cliffs of the abyss were collapsing, and demons flew up from below, grinning maliciously. These demons came in all shapes and sizes; some were enormous, some were like dwarfs, some were engulfed in flames, and some were covered in venom. Regardless of their form, their eyes were filled with bloodlust and cruelty.
"Kill them all!!"
"Kill all these humans!"
Lou Munan's order to Jiang Xing was to destroy the Canglan Realm if he couldn't destroy it within fifty years. Jiang Xing's order to his subordinates was to destroy the Canglan Realm if they couldn't destroy it within thirty years. Jiang Xing's subordinates then ordered their own men to destroy the Canglan Realm if they couldn't destroy it within ten years.
These demons were inherently bloodthirsty; if the Canglan Realm wasn't destroyed, they would die. This order brought out their madness.
