Chapter 149 The Great Battle Begins
Ye Tanji felt that time was passing very slowly. Although Xi'er had only been in the Trial Tower for seven days, it felt like three hundred years had passed.
I haven't felt this way in years.
Since the world-destroying war between the divine realm and the extraterrestrial demons 30,000 years ago, he was reincarnated in the lower realm and awakened his memories.
With all his old friends nowhere to be found and his beloved also nowhere to be found, he felt that time was passing particularly slowly.
Waiting, endless waiting, was far more painful for him than a quick death; every day he was awake was torture.
Later, perhaps due to the prolonged torment, they gradually became numb.
Until he and Xi'er's reincarnation reunited, after the initial joy, each separation became an ordeal.
Xi'er entered the Trial Tower, and he regularly injected spiritual power into the defensive runes on the bronze gate every day to stabilize the formation.
Although he was exhausted every day, he couldn't help but look back at the direction of the Trial Tower every few minutes.
When that familiar figure finally came into view, his body couldn't help but tremble.
He could no longer care about stabilizing the formation and rushed straight to her.
She stood among a group of relatives and friends, being pampered as always.
He opened his mouth, unsure of what to say, but then he heard her cheerful voice say, "Young Palace Master, how have you been?"
"You, you, you!" He had so much to say that he couldn't utter a single word.
"Don't bully Hongyuan anymore. He's just a cub, and he has a long growth period. He can't possibly beat you, the young palace master," Xi'er said with a smile.
"Hmph! For your sake, I'll let that scheming beast slide." Ye Tanji rarely showed his childlike side.
Others didn't understand the meaning of their conversation, but the couple with the feather fan understood perfectly.
Yu Shan couldn't help but laugh. This young master of Night Pool Palace, even though he was the first among them to awaken his past life memories, still couldn't help but show such childishness when he met an old friend.
Thinking of the loneliness he endured alone for thirty thousand years, she couldn't help but sigh, "Ah Ji, you've suffered so much!"
These few words caused the Night Pool Palace Master, who remained calm even under immense pressure, to break down in tears!
How long and how desperate a person's wait can be, who can understand?
Seeing him like this, Xi'er finally felt that the young master who used to follow her around every day had finally returned.
However, before they could catch up, they heard a loud crash as the bronze door collapsed, raising a cloud of dust.
He heard Steward Feng exclaim in his ear: "Damn it, the defenses have been breached! The extraterrestrial demons have broken in!"
"What's the panic?! We'll meet force with force, form ranks!" Ye Tanji put on his perpetually icy expression and shouted in a deep voice.
This version of him is completely different from the one he was when facing Xi'er and Yu Shan.
His close attendants, Xunri and Poxiao, both suspected that their master might have two souls residing in his body.
However, the subordinates of Night Pool Palace and the heads of the nine major families, who were standing at a distance, only heard his command.
The grand array of celestial stars, which had been performed many times before, was set up in just a few minutes, with everyone in their respective positions, ready for battle.
The dozen or so extraterrestrial demons at the forefront were finally exposed to everyone's view.
Each of them was over ten feet tall, with ferocious and terrifying faces, their eyes filled with undisguised cruelty and greed, as if they already considered the whole world as their own.
The moment Ye Tanji saw them, he was filled with intense hatred.
The once vibrant Valley of Flowers, the once warm and peaceful times, the once playful companions—all perished tragically at their hands.
They didn't even leave behind a complete corpse; they tore it to pieces with their bare hands.
Back then, everyone did their best to kill all the invading extraterrestrial demons. Unexpectedly, after 30,000 years, they have made a comeback!
"You lowly and insignificant human cultivators, you are facing an invincible, undead race favored by the Heavenly Dao—the extraterrestrial demons!"
If you know what's good for you, just give up and we might leave you with a whole corpse.
"Beautiful young men and women who are willing to serve us obediently have a chance to survive," said the leading male demon.
Ye Tanji was startled. Thirty thousand years ago, when they invaded the God Realm, they couldn't speak the human language. It seems that they haven't stagnated in these thirty thousand years and must have learned a lot of human knowledge.
Before they could answer, the leading demon raised his hand and, across the void, grabbed a beautiful human female cultivator.
The aura she released was at least at the peak of the Tongtian Realm, which is top-tier combat power in both the Misty Heaven Realm and the Dust Ash Continent.
However, in the hands of this demon, it was powerless to fight back, like a vulture catching a chick.
"Hahahaha! Did you see that? This is the power of us extraterrestrial demons. If you don't want to be torn to pieces, you'd better surrender obediently!" The follower behind the demon laughed loudly.
However, before he could finish speaking, a giant sword slashed towards his wrist.
The demon, unable to dodge in time, screamed in agony: "Ah!"
His hand fell to the ground, and the human female cultivator he held in his hand was caught by the wings of the iridescent holy butterfly that rose into the air, landing safely.
This first round of competition greatly reduced the fear of the human cultivators.
Originally, they believed that the extraterrestrial demons were invincible, but now that they saw that they could also be injured, they felt much more at ease.
After all, the unknown is the most frightening thing.
However, their relief lasted less than three minutes before they saw a hand grow back from the severed limb of the extraterrestrial demon.
There was no trace of the break; it was perfectly intact.
Everyone couldn't help but tremble. These demons weren't just bragging; they really were unkillable!
Fear spread as soon as it arose, just as everyone was watching in trepidation as a dozen or so extraterrestrial demons charged through the air.
The giant sword that had severed one of the leader demon's hands rose into the air once more, and as its light flashed, the left hands of more than a dozen demons fell to the ground.
Feather Fan looked at Little White, who was rampaging through the Heavenly Demons. Having awakened his memories of his past life, he had the deepest memory of the hands of these Heavenly Demons.
These were the very hands that cruelly tore the gods to pieces and then devoured their flesh and blood.
Although the extraterrestrial demons have the ability to regenerate severed limbs, regeneration still takes time, at least two minutes.
In this process, the extraterrestrial demon, with only one hand remaining, would not be able to tear its opponent to pieces with both hands.
However, Xiao Bai's move could not stop the extraterrestrial demons, who had already rushed into the celestial array of stars set up by Ye Tanji.
This formation was created by him based on the fact that the cultivation level of human cultivators is generally low. It is a large formation that can concentrate the magical power of dozens of people into a single point.
With their numerical advantage, they can fight against powerful extraterrestrial demons.
Of course, this only exists in the simulation. In the actual battle, if the opponent risks serious injury and kills more than half of the human cultivators in the formation in a short period of time, the formation will collapse on its own.
At this moment, the dozen or so demons charging into battle discovered that they were separated by the tiny human cultivators, and each of them was surrounded and attacked by dozens of people.
But they remained fearless, after all, they were an unkillable race.
