Chapter 1916: Battle Between Humans and Demons (Part 2)

"Yes, Elder!" A Golden Guard standing nearby heard the order and responded without hesitation, hurriedly turning into a long rainbow to pass the order below.

"Two-Headed Lizards, are those the low-tier demonic beasts that can use both wind and fire attribute attacks and are known as one of the top ten demonic beasts in the Demon Realm?" Zen Master Jin Yue asked thoughtfully.

"Correct, it is exactly this beast. Although the Two-Headed Demon Lizard is not high-tier, only equivalent to a Qi Condensation stage cultivator, it wins in its astonishing numbers. It is said that in the Demon Realm, they are calculated in the millions. This time, the demons broke through the interface, and although it is impossible to bring them all, even bringing a small portion is a not-so-small trouble. As for the Venomous Demon Insects, they are also somewhat tricky. The venom sprayed by these insects not only has significant lethality to low-tier cultivators but can also corrode the city walls." Elder Gu answered with a solemn expression.

"However, since they are demonic beasts, I think the people below should know how to deal with them. Brother Gu does not need to worry too much." Zen Master Jin Yue nodded and said quite calmly.

"I hope so!" Elder Gu sighed lightly and cast his gaze back toward the distant battlefield.

Surrounding one side of Tianyuan City were thousands of giant fortresses, each over a hundred feet tall, stationed with over a hundred human cultivators, tightly guarding Tianyuan City behind them.

Between each fortress, barrier fluctuations could be seen vaguely flashing; clearly, there was some other mystery within.

And without clearing away these defenses that the humans had spent great effort on, the demons could not directly attack the city walls of Tianyuan City.

This is also the reason why the demons brought so many demonic beasts as cannon fodder. After all, having invaded human territories so many times, these demons also knew many effective methods to deal with giant human cities.

The number of the two beast groups in the distance added up to thirty or forty thousand. Among them, the Two-Headed Lizards, which were about the size of small calves, accounted for more than two-thirds.

As for the Venomous Demon Insects, they looked like giant emerald-green silkworms, exceptionally fat and bloated, twice the size of the Two-Headed Lizards, but they did not fall behind at all while mixed in with the Two-Headed Demon Lizards.

And behind these beast groups, there were suddenly over a hundred high-tier demons wearing black armor, following the beast groups unhurriedly, as if they were existences supervising the battle.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of demonic beasts pushed to within ten miles of the human fortresses.

Suddenly, a majestic, awe-inspiring roar erupted from the beast group. The Two-Headed Demon Lizards, which were originally just trotting, suddenly had their eyes turn blood-red. After issuing responsive low growls, the entire beast group began to sprint.

The Venomous Demon Insects mixed among them had green light flash on their backs, and they actually split two transparent wings from their bodies.

Then, with a vibration of their wings, the demon insects flew into the air one after another, their speed not falling behind the sprinting Two-Headed Demon Lizards at all.

Tens of thousands of demonic beasts sprinting, looking from afar, was like ten thousand horses galloping. The distance of ten miles, for them, was just a moment's work, and they could arrive in an instant.

At the same time, a high-tier demon in the air cast a spell, and a mass of black demonic Qi rolled down, rushing into the beast group like a black dragon, and exploded.

The clearly visible demonic beasts suddenly became blurred in the rolling demonic Qi.

The next moment, just as they were about a mile from the fortresses, "Puff, puff" sounds erupted from the demonic Qi. Dense fireballs and wind blades surged out from within, sweeping toward the numerous fortresses ahead like a storm.

With such astonishing momentum, even though those fortresses were all reinforced with barriers, it was absolutely impossible for them to remain unscathed under such an attack.

Many human cultivators in the fortresses saw this, and their expressions changed drastically.

But just at this moment, a clear sound like immortal music suddenly came from the white jade palace above Tianyuan City. Then, the golden mirror on the highest building suddenly trembled, and a golden beam of light sprayed out from within. After dispersing, it turned into a layer of golden, hazy light curtain, blocking the front of the numerous fortresses.

In an instant, the dense fireballs and wind blades hit this layer of golden light like a storm, exploding one after another.

For a time, roaring sounds erupted, and red and white light clusters appeared densely on the light curtain. Moreover, with the combination of wind and fire power, the momentum increased several times, causing the nearby Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to shake incessantly, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was cracking.

The high-tier existences of both the human and demon races witnessed this scene, all looking on with solemn expressions.

As a result, after all the light faded, that layer of golden light curtain appeared before everyone's eyes again, completely intact. This layer of defense, which looked exceptionally thin, was actually unscathed.

Many high-tier demons in the high sky witnessed this scene and were naturally slightly startled.

As for the Tianyuan City cultivators like Zen Master Jin Yue, they did not show too much surprise. Fairy Yin Guang even chuckled and said to the white-robed old man:

"Elder Gu, your Golden Essence Treasure Mirror is becoming more and more mysterious. Although it relies on the massive spiritual power of the Heavenly Treasure Palace to have such power, just a single beam of light is enough to block the previous demonic beast attack. It can be seen that Brother Gu's thousand years of refining have not been in vain."

"My treasure mirror was originally ranked high on the Chaos Myriad Spirit Ranking. Even without my dedicated refining, the current attack is nothing. I would rather like to see how the demons break the defense of this treasure." Elder Gu smiled modestly.

Han Li heard this from the side, his expression moved, and he couldn't help but look at the giant mirror behind him.

He saw that the surface of this treasure was dazzling with golden light, and a golden beam of light as thick as a bowl was still spraying out from it, connected to the golden light curtain covering half the void in the distance.

And just as Han Li was distracted, the demonic Qi in the distance was only a mile away from the fortresses. Even though they were covered by the rolling demonic Qi, the group of cultivators in the fortresses could still see the ferocious faces of the demonic beasts within, and everyone's heart tightened.

"Attack!"

A sinister male voice suddenly echoed in all the fortresses at the same time.

The group of cultivators almost subconsciously pinched a spell at the same time, and the magic tools in their hands were sacrificed one after another.

In an instant, light flickered above the dozens of fortresses closest to the beast group. Thousands of magic tools were sacrificed and smashed into the demonic Qi like meteors.

Roaring sounds erupted from the demonic Qi, and another wave of fireballs and wind blades surged out, turning into a giant wave of wind and fire, actually lifting all the magic tools and preventing them from falling even an inch.

These demonic beasts, under the manipulation of high-tier demons, were quite well-trained.

The cultivators in the fortresses, witnessing this scene, were naturally unwilling to give up. They immediately pinched spells, chanted incantations, and some even pointed their fingers wildly at their own magic tools.

The power of thousands of magic tools increased greatly, and they connected into a piece of gorgeous light, desperately pressing downward.

For a time, they actually forced the giant wave of wind and fire to retreat step by step, and it looked like it was about to be pierced through.

But just at this moment, "Chi, chi" sounds erupted from the demonic Qi where the demonic beasts were hiding. Thousands of green lines shot out from within, and in a flash, they hit the five-colored light, exploding into clusters of green mist.

A foul, fishy stench erupted, and the clusters of green mist enveloped all the magic tools without any obstruction.

An astonishing scene appeared!

Most of the magic tools, the moment they were enveloped by the green mist, regardless of their original color, turned green, and then their light dimmed, and they fell from the sky, swaying.

Only two or three hundred magic tools remained, rushing left and right in the green mist as if nothing had happened.

"Not right, those demon insects are not ordinary Venomous Demon Insects. The venom of ordinary Venomous Demon Insects does not have the ability to pollute magic tools." Elder Gu stood on the high platform and saw this scene, becoming somewhat surprised.

Others were also slightly startled, but they remained calm. This small change was naturally not enough to make these Body Integration cultivators truly panic.

At the same time, in the giant beast car in the rolling demonic Qi in the high sky, the purple-armored man clapped his hands and laughed, and turned to the green-robed old man triumphantly:

"Elder Green, the humans really fell for it. They actually thought those mutated demon insects were ordinary Venomous Demon Insects, and they suffered a small loss."

"It's a pity that these mutated demon insects are too few, and their toxicity is only effective against magic tools below the mid-tier. Otherwise, if they were kept for later, they might have achieved even greater miraculous effects." The green-robed old man also smiled, but there was some regret in his words.

"Hehe, mutated demonic beasts are not so easy to find. We were lucky to have subdued such a batch of mutated demon insects unintentionally. Moreover, these demonic beasts are just abandoned pieces. To truly level this city, we still have to rely on us." The purple-armored demon didn't care and chuckled.

"However, these mutated demon insects also have some miraculous effects in dealing with magic arrays and barriers. Maybe they can give us even greater surprises!" The old man nodded and said.

"Hmm, that's not impossible." The purple-armored man looked toward the fortresses in the distance and said with some anticipation.

At this moment, the cultivators in the dozens of fortresses, seeing that all their magic tools had lost contact with their minds, felt pained and naturally dared not mobilize a second magic tool to meet the enemy. Instead, under the order of a Core Formation cultivator who was the leader, they suddenly stood on a formation map that had long been engraved in the fortress.

Then, flipping their hands, each of them revealed a formation disk.

These cultivators, supported by the Core Formation cultivator, chanted incantations, and with spiritual light flashing on their bodies, began to pour their magic power into the disk wildly.

And that Core Formation cultivator pinched spells with both hands, slowly closing his eyes.

In an instant, the formation under the cultivators' feet began to shine brightly, emitting a low, buzzing sound.

A five-colored light ball began to form in the center of the formation, spinning at high speed...

At the same time, outside the fortresses, without the obstruction of those magic tools, the wind and fire power sprayed by the Two-Headed Demon Lizards turned into red and white light, hitting the golden light curtain directly, and once again emitting a rumbling sound.

Mixed in the light, there were thousands of green lines silently spraying toward the light curtain.
