Chapter 1949: Battle of Yitian (VII)

The giant beast with a sheep's head was sizing up the several beings of Mahayana existence in the battle group, its eyeballs rolling around incessantly.

To it, although there were countless personnel from both the human and demon armies below, only these few could barely pose a threat to it, and the two Mahayana beings on the human side were precisely the familiar auras that had sealed it away back then.

As for the auras emitted by those few demon venerables of the demon race, they were equally detested by it.

If it were at the peak of its divine powers before, it would naturally not mind swallowing both sides whole in one gulp, but now, due to the old wounds inside its body not having healed, plus having been sealed for so many years, its magic power was less than half of normal, so it did not dare to act so rashly and recklessly.

While this beast was unconsciously muttering to itself in extreme annoyance, the clear rebuke of Fairy Lin Luan suddenly entered its ears, and at the same time, the blood talisman in its skull, upon being stimulated, instantly swelled up again uncertainly.

Having just tasted that kind of soul-piercing pain in the brain that was almost deeply imprinted, which seemed like it could erupt again at any moment, this made the sheep-headed beast's body tremble, and then without any hesitation, it suddenly opened its huge mouth, and a gust of yellow, murky strange wind swept straight toward the demon army attacking the city below.

In an instant, the sky and earth grew dim, and yellow dust flew about.

The demon beasts swept by the yellow wind were all easily torn into pieces by the terrifying power contained within, offering no resistance at all.

In the blink of an eye, over a thousand demon beasts and hundreds of demon riders had perished in the raging wind.

"Hmph, He Xi, you actually dare to oppose us humans and our holy race? Then today you shall be buried along with this city!" Seeing this, the black-armored giant flew into a rage, let out a cold snort and shouted, then suddenly flipped his hand, throwing out a black leather bag, and immediately afterward, his arm moved, and another golden-colored flying fork several inches long appeared in his hand.

With a flick, this object instantly transformed into a giant a hundred zhang tall.

The giant formed by the black-armored man grasped the fork with both hands and fiercely chopped down at the whirlwind below.

A cyan, murky blade-light fell like a waterfall from the heavens, and in a flash, it severed the yellow wind below, sending out dazzling, piercing light into the ground.

With a "Boom—rumble—rumble!" sound!

The entire earth trembled, and a huge fissure a thousand zhang long appeared out of thin air.

After being cut by this whirlwind, the wind instantly dissipated completely, not a trace remaining.

And that black-colored leather bag that had been thrown out, after a thunderclap, suddenly shot out two thick silver arcs from within, and in a flash, it instantly transformed into two giant wolves wrapped in silver-colored lightning.

Each was three or four zhang long, with a pair of silver-colored thunder wings on their backs, and with a single flap, they let out a mournful long cry as they lunged straight at the sheep-headed giant beast.

Seeing this, the He Xi giant beast flashed a trace of disdain in its sheepish face, and without a word, one huge palm shot out far away.

A yellow-colored giant palm a hundred zhang tall appeared like a small mountain above the two giant wolves, and as it simply fell down, it instantly crushed the two seemingly extraordinary demon beasts, causing their bodies to burst apart.

The black-armored man was startled, and without thinking further, his golden-colored giant fork in hand shot out fiercely, the huge blade-light flashing and slashing out again, while at the same time, he activated his magic formula, and two black-colored giant hammers also manifested layers of phantom images as they wildly smashed toward the giant beast.

The sheep-headed giant beast, receiving successive attacks from the black-armored man, naturally took it as a provocation against itself, the vicious light in its eyes flashing, and the two bat wings on its back suddenly fanned forward, slightly blurring, and actually instantly transformed into two masses of dark, murky yellow clouds, which instantly engulfed its massive body.

The giant blade-light and the dense hammer shadows struck the yellow cloud, only producing a series of dull thuds, and actually could not damage this defense in the slightest.

The black-armored man was greatly alarmed, his golden fork held horizontally, one hand quickly forming seals, and immediately, groups of silver-colored lightning fire appeared around his body, preparing to launch a projectile attack against the enemy.

But just then, suddenly, a fluctuation occurred in the air above his head, and a huge, furry meat palm appeared out of thin air, pressing down toward the giant man.

Before the palm even landed, a huge force enveloped the surroundings of the giant man.

The black-armored man only felt his shoulders sink, his body immediately feeling as if a giant mountain were pressing down on him, slowly sinking, and at the same time, the nearby void suddenly became as tough as refined steel, making even moving a finger extremely difficult.

Since the black-armored man was a late-stage great achievement demon venerable of the demon race, naturally his knowledge and divine powers were far beyond those of ordinary demon cultivators, so upon feeling shocked and angry, he let out a great shout, and the lightning fire appearing around him all suddenly burst apart, and the surrounding space that had been sealed was hard-shattered open.

And the man himself had a single black-colored giant elephant phantom appear behind him, and upon lowering his trunk and letting out a low roar, a shocking aura shot up into the heavens.

The previously suppressed black-armored man suddenly had black light flowing all over his body, his physical form becoming incredibly strong, as if increased severalfold, actually ignoring the huge force on him, manifesting hundreds of phantom images, all identical, which in a flash shot out in all directions to escape.

But the huge meat palm in the air merely twitched slightly, then instantly expanded in volume and fell like lightning, a yellow, murky wave rolling outward.

Most of the phantom images were swept up in it, instantly vanishing into nothing.

Only a dozen or so of the fastest-escaping phantom images fled several hundred zhang away into the void, then their light flashed and they self-destructed, leaving only one that had reverted back to the black-armored man.

But when this demon looked back at the terrifying sight of the huge meat palm falling, his face instantly turned extremely gloomy.

At this moment, the two yellow clouds opposite moved, and once again transformed into two huge bat wings, retracting back.

The sheep-headed giant beast's figure reappeared, and upon bending its legs, it was about to leap directly at the giant man.

With this beast's massive body, even a single movement, without using any divine powers, was like a giant mountain pressing down directly from above.

The black-armored man's heart jolted, and he also dared not directly meet it head-on, merely shifting his form slightly, then again manifesting hundreds of phantom images, his hands continuously activating lightning fire as he darted about without cease.

Although it seemed he was at a disadvantage, he also did not suffer too greatly.

On the side, the Qinglong Elder saw this, his brows furrowed, a fierce look flashing on his face, then he flipped both hands, each producing a cyan-colored flying sword, one engraved with two cyan flood dragons, the other with a golden, radiant peacock.

He shook his wrist!

The two flying swords immediately each let out a clear cry as they rose into the air, circling once above his head, then one flickered and transformed into two cyan flood dragon phantoms, the other, after a golden radiance burst forth, flew out a golden-colored phoenix phantom from within.

Under the urging of the Qinglong Elder's spell, the two cyan flood dragon phantoms and the golden-colored peacock phantom instantly radiated myriad lights as they flew and pounced toward the black-armored man.

Clearly, this Supreme Elder of Yitian City had already resolved to rely on the terrifying power of the He Xi beast to slay the black-armored man here and now.

As long as this demon venerable with the deepest cultivation could be killed, even if two more mysterious demon venerables appeared, this great battle would still have a good chance of victory.

Seeing this, the black-armored man naturally became extremely furious in his heart, but under the threat of the giant beast, he could do nothing to the Qinglong Elder for a moment, and instead, due to the opponent's interference, he kept encountering dangers repeatedly.

Just as the Qinglong Elder was overjoyed and the black-armored man was being 'forced' to retreat step by step, roaring angrily, suddenly, from the direction of the demon sea, thousands of shocking waves of murderous and vicious energy shot up into the heavens.

The originally pitch-black demon sea instantly turned blood-red in the blink of an eye.

Amidst waves of mad howls, a demon army shrouded in eerie blood light flew out from the demon sea without panic or haste, each person emitting an extremely terrifying death aura, their entire bodies covered in blood-colored spirit patterns, their faces expressionless, but their bodies somewhat blurred, as if not solid, but like war ghosts just walked out of the Yellow Springs.

"Hahaha, look at how this fierce beast still dares to show its ferocity? Quickly deploy the Blood-Transmuting Nether Guards, form up, and I want this He Xi beast and this person trapped alive in the Blood-Nether Great Formation! Jia Lun War Demons, begin the assault on the city!" Upon seeing this army whose aura was vastly different from ordinary demons, the black-armored man could not help but show a look of wild joy on his face, and immediately shouted out two commands.

Upon hearing the black-armored man's command, the demon army named the 'Blood-Transmuting Nether Guards', under the low shout of their tall demon commander, actually had their bodies scatter and turn into vast blood clouds that rolled in, and in just a few flashes, they had engulfed the giant beast, the Qinglong Elder, and even the black-armored man himself.

In an instant, the shouts of killing shook the heavens, and explosive sounds followed one after another without cease.

Almost simultaneously, in the demon beast army desperately charging toward the city wall, a series of sharp cries erupted.

Over a thousand demon beasts that had originally appeared ordinary and low-level suddenly shot out from the army like arrows, and after a few flashes, they all pounced onto the outside of the city's silver-colored light barrier, and then, as their surface light flashed, they all transformed into huge six-armed, three-headed demons.

Precisely those Jia Lun War Demons who, since the start of the great battle, had never 'shown' their faces!

These war demons had, since the beginning of the great battle, used secret arts to transform themselves into low-level demon beasts, hiding within the demon beast army, and now, soundlessly and silently, they had crept close to the city wall within arm's reach, and only upon the black-armored man's great shout did they reveal their true forms and suddenly erupt in an attack on the city!

In these war demons, the two monster heads among the three heads on each spat out fireballs, wind blades, and various attacks, while the six arms were equipped with huge hammers, sharp cones, and other extraordinarily heavy weapons, dancing into clusters of dazzling light balls as they launched a mad, storm-like frenzied assault on the restrictions.

That layer of silver-colored light barrier, though wondrous beyond measure, had already been shaking and on the verge of collapse from this previous frenzied assault by the demon army, and now, under the concentrated, furious attacks of the Jia Lun War Demons on certain spots, it finally began to emit crisp cracking sounds in over a dozen places and shattered apart.

The Jia Lun War Demons instantly revealed their ferocious appearance and charged onto the city wall, aiming at the human cultivators on the wall and launching a massive slaughter!

How could these human warriors and low-to-mid-level cultivators possibly be a match for this group of demon monsters? In an instant, miserable cries rang out endlessly, and they all retreated in fear without cease.

Even with some high-ranking cultivators leading teams who tried to step forward to block them, they were instantly killed under the siege of several Jia Lun War Demons.

These invaded city walls instantly became a mess of "chaos"!

Other human guards in various locations who witnessed this scene also couldn't help but suffer a great blow to morale, with everyone's faces showing expressions of fear.
