Chapter 1917: Battle Between Humans and Demons (Part 3)

The golden light curtain remained unmoved amidst the explosions, but under the erosion of the clusters of green mist, it flickered incessantly. Although it was exceptionally slow, the power of the light curtain was indeed fading bit by bit.

However, just at this moment, the formation in the fortress was finally fully activated. The silver light balls flashed and disappeared from the center of the formation.

The next moment, in the void several dozen feet above the fortress, spatial fluctuations arose, and those silver light balls appeared one after another. After spinning, "Crack, crack" sounds erupted.

Silver electric arcs sprayed out from within, turning into giant electric nets, covering the opposite side.

Regardless of fireballs, wind blades, or green mist, the moment they touched the electric nets, they were immediately torn to pieces by the electric light, vanishing into nothingness amidst the thunder.

Then, in a flash, they turned into countless silver snakes and fell into the demonic Qi.

"Rumble" sounds were incessant, and the demonic Qi and silver arcs intertwined, then exploded one after another.

The two types of demonic beasts, although sprinting and dodging, still suffered heavy losses under such dense attacks. Many demon lizards and poisonous insects were turned into charcoal ash the moment they were hit by the electric arcs.

However, there were even more demonic beasts that were injured by the explosions of the electric arcs. Many demonic beasts with broken bodies lay in the demonic Qi, one after another, their wails incessant.

The remaining demonic beasts, although still launching wave after wave of attacks frantically, could not do anything to the golden light curtain in a short time.

Instead, the silver electric arcs emitted by the light balls appearing above the fortresses became increasingly fierce.

In the blink of an eye, half of the two types of demonic beasts were damaged.

The purple-armored demon in the distant sky witnessed this scene, and his expression turned iron-blue. Without a word, he waved one hand.

Two of the small flags floating in front of him trembled and were grabbed into his hand. After rubbing them fiercely with both hands, they turned into two wisps of green smoke and disappeared.

Then, he flicked his finger again, and nearly half of the other small flags began to tremble slightly with low sounds!

The two giant milky-white snails lying in the demonic beast army suddenly had white light flash on their bodies. Then, they raised their two giant tentacles into the air, and suddenly, a bull-like roar erupted from their mouths. Two milky-white beams of light sprayed out, and in a flash, they hit the golden light curtain fiercely.

The originally stable light curtain was like a calm lake surface into which two stones had been thrown, rippling in circles, and the next moment, it trembled and was pierced through by the beams of light.

The dozen or so fortresses behind the light curtain, along with the cultivators inside, were instantly turned into dust after being swept by the beams of light, unable to resist at all.

Not only that, the massive demonic beast group originally in the rear was in a commotion, and finally, amidst the roars, they all began to run, sprinting toward Tianyuan City.

The demon-humans floating in the high sky also had spiritual light flash on their bodies at this time, and they slowly began to fly forward. At the same time, clusters of black light or rolling demonic Qi flew out from them, and for a time, the momentum was astonishing.

In the higher demonic Qi, golden drums sounded, and over a hundred pitch-black, oily flying cars flew out from within. On the cars stood several or over a dozen high-tier demons wearing various demonic armors, each ferocious and evil, holding long spears and halberds, full of murderous aura.

A shrill, sharp sound rang out. Behind the hundred or so flying cars, a giant flying car, a hundred feet long and pulled by two giant monsters, also flew out from the demonic Qi with great momentum.

The two monsters in front of this giant car were purple all over, resembling rhinoceroses, but the single horn on their noses was dazzling with golden light, exceptionally ferocious.

As for the giant car, hundreds of armored soldiers stood tall, and in the center stood the purple-armored demon and the green-robed old man.

Both of them had cold expressions!

After some careful probing, the demons finally began their true attack.

Elder Gu and the others who witnessed all this from the high platform couldn't help but frown.

The number of demonic elites appearing before them was far beyond their expectations, and it was completely inconsistent with the rumors of the ferocity of the first wave of attacks in previous demonic tribulations.

Although those demonic beasts were indeed ferocious, relying on this little strength to take Tianyuan City was naturally a pipe dream.

Seeing this, the demonic beast army, braving the dense silver electric snakes falling from the opposite side, rushed to the golden light curtain with a posture that didn't care about damage at all, either by mobilizing innate magic power to attack or by directly crashing into it with their thick-skinned bodies.

The demon-humans in the air mobilized their demonic tools, turning into various demonic clouds to desperately block the falling electric arcs, in order to reduce the damage to the demonic beasts below.

As for those demonic flying cars carrying armored soldiers, they stopped at a place ten miles away from the light curtain and began to attack directly by waving the weapons in their hands.

Immediately, pitch-black long rainbows shot up from the flying cars, and after a few flickers, they rolled...

In front of the golden light curtain, for a time, the sounds of killing shook the sky.

Han Li sighed, turned his head, and frowned at Zen Master Jin Yue and the others, saying:

"Several Daoist friends, it seems that the demons have changed their previous customs. This attack is just a pure probe. If so, Han Mou will return first. I am currently at a critical moment in refining a treasure. Once completed, it should be of some help in resisting the demons."

"This wave of attack is indeed far less terrifying than expected. We were a bit over-alarmed due to previous rumors. Since Daoist Han still has important matters to attend to, feel free to go and handle them first. The demons have the intention of fighting steadily, it seems there is no need for us Body Integration cultivators to take action in a short time." Zen Master Jin Yue sighed and nodded to Han Li, seemingly not happy at all because of the unfavorable attack of the demons.

"That is indeed the case! If the demons had gone all out to attack the city from the beginning, I would have been more at ease. In the current situation, we must be extra careful. We are the highest combat power in the city, but we each have matters to handle and cannot be tied down here and exhausted by the demons' harassment attacks. How about this, as long as the demons do not launch an all-out attack on the city, we will take turns in pairs to host the resistance against these harassment attacks. Daoist Han, you are not a member of the Elder Council and are not very familiar with the manpower and defenses in the city, so you do not need to participate in the rotation. However, when the city is truly in crisis, I hope Daoist will help with all your might." Elder Gu pondered for a moment and came up with a countermeasure.

"Brother Gu's strategy is excellent!"

"Han Mou has no objections!"

The others heard this and happily agreed.

Han Li also nodded and agreed!

So, even though the demonic beast attack in the distance still seemed exceptionally intense, Han Li cupped his hands and turned into a cyan rainbow and left.

Zen Master Jin Yue, Fairy Yin Guang, and the others also left the white jade palace shortly after.

In the blink of an eye, only Elder Gu and the black-robed man, two Tianyuan City Elders, remained in the palace:

"Brother Gu, are we just going to stand by and watch like this? This is too passive. Moreover, the protection formed by the Golden Essence Treasure Mirror is bearing such fierce attacks, and the consumption of spirit stones is really too large." The black-robed man who had been silent all along looked at the fierce battleground in the distance where roaring sounds were incessant and asked coldly.

"Hmph, Brother Bao, rest assured. These demons actually used these demonic beasts as cannon fodder, intending to probe the city's defensive capabilities. This Elder cannot let them be too disappointed. Let's use the Seven-Star Essence Fire Array to give them a little color. It will also dampen their morale." Elder Gu heard this, his eyes flashed, and he snorted.

"Seven-Star Essence Fire Array! You really want to use this array? This is one of the city's trump cards. Exposing it now, it's not very good." This time, it was the black-robed man's turn to be startled, and he hesitated.

"It doesn't matter, I will only activate one-tenth of the power of this array. In this way, not only can we show the demons a bit of power, but it will not expose the true power of this array. Perhaps, it can even cause the leading demons to misjudge and have other favorable effects." Elder Gu waved his hand, seemingly confident.

"Hmm, Brother Gu's words make sense. Let's follow your advice." The black-robed man pondered for a moment, felt there was no problem, and nodded solemnly in agreement.

The two Body Integration existences who remained to host reached a consensus. Naturally, once the order was given, there were no more obstacles.

Deep underground in a secret room of a crimson giant tower in Tianyuan City, seven white-haired old men wearing crimson robes sat cross-legged at various formation eyes of a pale golden formation map, closing their eyes and meditating.

Fire Qi rolled incessantly on the seven of them; they were all cultivators who primarily cultivated fire techniques, and judging from the spiritual pressure emitted from them, they all had the astonishing cultivation of the Void Refinement stage.

A clear sound like a copper bell suddenly came from the body of the oldest-looking old man.

The old man's wrinkled face moved, and he immediately opened his eyes. His pupils were crimson, and it seemed as if flames were rolling within.

Flipping his hand, a white magic disk suddenly appeared in the old man's hand. After glancing at it, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but jump suddenly.

"Start activating the array, just need to trigger one-tenth of the Seven-Star Essence Fire power." The old man said sinisterly.

"Yes, Big Brother!" The other six old men heard this, opened their eyes, and answered in unison.

Then, the seven of them pinched spells with both hands, and crimson fire light on their bodies burst out. Then, they suddenly patted their own crowns with one hand.

"Puff," "Puff," several sounds came, and the crowns of the seven people suddenly opened, and seven crimson Nascent Souls appeared eerily.

The faces of these Nascent Souls were exactly the same as the seven people, and each held a red, dazzling treasure in their hands, which were seven magic treasures with completely different forms: ring, banner, sword, blade, tower, tablet, and bead.

Red light rolled on their surfaces, emitting scorching heat waves, clearly pure fire-attribute exotic treasures.

Incantations came from the mouths of the seven Nascent Souls, and the red light of the seven fire-attribute treasures surged several times, flying out from the hands of the Nascent Souls and slowly falling toward the center of the formation map.
