Chapter 527: The Terror of the Demon Emperor

Despair was written in the depths of Student Zhuge Ni's eyes.

Even though she had tried her very best, she had only reached level 73.

Relying on the Astrolabe and the Star Array to hold off five Demon Kings by force, she had already exhausted every ounce of her strength.

Now that a Demon Emperor had appeared, it was undoubtedly a catastrophic disaster for her and the entire Qingcheng.

"Are you going to open this broken array yourself and welcome this Emperor inside, or do you want this Emperor to take action personally?"

The Thunder Demon Emperor looked at Student Zhuge Ni and raised two slender fingers, a streak of incomparably powerful lightning dancing at his fingertips.

Just by watching that streak of lightning from afar, the five Demon Kings felt a sense of fatal danger.

Student Zhuge Ni took a deep breath, a trace of resolve to die already surfacing in her eyes.

At this point, she had no other choice.

She could only make a last stand!

"Power of the Heavenly Stars, heed my command!"

Student Zhuge Ni exerted all her strength to drive the Astrolabe; stars flickered on that ancient, simple compass as if it had incorporated the entire galaxy within it.

A slender beam of light shot into the clouds with the compass as its center, the brilliant starlight so dazzling even in broad daylight that it made people unable to help but look away.

At this moment, the Star Array continuously absorbed the power of the stars falling from the nine heavens, the profound array expanding like a torrent of stars that swept out and enveloped the Thunder Demon Emperor.

"Eternal Suppression of the Heavenly Stars!"

Student Zhuge Ni shouted, wanting to use the Star Array and the Astrolabe to suppress the Thunder Demon Emperor.

A grave expression appeared on the Thunder Demon Emperor's face; he felt an extremely dangerous aura from that Star Array.

"This Star Array is indeed terrifying, but it is a pity that you are too weak."

The Thunder Demon Emperor shook his head and spoke coldly.

"If your strength were greater, this Emperor would only be able to avoid your edge today, but unfortunately, there are no 'ifs' in this world."

The lightning in the Thunder Demon Emperor's hand suddenly became intense, instantly covering his entire body.

At this moment, the Thunder Demon Emperor was bathed in thunder, resembling a deity who controlled lightning.

"Ten Thousand Bolts of Thunder!"

Following his angry shout, terrifying thunder poured out, colliding head-on with the Star Array.

The lightning danced wildly like spirit snakes, continuously bombarding and invading the Star Array.

Student Zhuge Ni's face was pale as she resisted with all her might.

But the gap between her and the Demon Emperor was simply too great; even with the two great weapons of the Astrolabe and the Star Array, it was still difficult to bridge the gap between them.

This was like a kindergartner; even if they held a shield in their left hand and a knife in their right, it was still impossible to win a head-on fight against an adult.

Soon, the Star Array became riddled with holes under the devastation of the Thunder Demon Emperor.

The faces of the common people of Qingcheng were filled with terror as they looked tremblingly at the collapsing Star Array.

It was clear that the Star Array could not stop this incomparably terrifying Demon Emperor; Qingcheng was about to be destroyed.

Many people even couldn't help but cry softly; faced with the threat of death, how many could truly disregard life and death?

"Are we not going to take action yet?"

On the distant Gouzi Mountain, Ji Ji Lingyu gripped his long sword and looked at Bai Si with a worried face, asking.

Bai Si knew very clearly what should be managed and what should not.

Therefore, long before the Demon race invasion, Bai Si had already brought Ji Ji Lingyu and Father Ji from Qingcheng to Bajin City.

"No need, that guy is almost here."

Bai Si spoke indifferently.

"That guy?" Ji Ji Lingyu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became excited. "Is it the Boss?"

"Mm." Bai Si nodded.

The people of Bajin City who had originally wanted to take action instantly calmed down.

Once Ji Ji Lingyu said the word "Boss," everyone knew who was coming!

They looked toward the direction of Qingcheng with full anticipation.

Inside Qingcheng, the City Lord of Qingcheng, Hu Weng, sighed faintly.

"Everyone, do not despair. We have all experienced that wave of monsters together. We should have died back then anyway; living for this much longer is already a mercy from the Heavens."

Hu Weng slowly stood up, straightened his back, and said to Student Zhuge Ni.

"Girl of the Student Zhuge family, that's enough. You have done enough for Qingcheng. Go; as long as the green hills remain, there is no need to worry about firewood. Leave this place to us. If you ever have enough strength in the future, just remember to avenge us."

Behind Hu Weng, the class-changers of Qingcheng stood up one after another.

At this point, there was nothing left to say, only to fight to the death.

They would ultimately coexist or perish with this land that had raised them.

"I will not leave!"

Student Zhuge Ni's gaze was incomparably firm.

"I am the daughter of Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing. A tiger father has no dog daughter; I must never tarnish my father's reputation!"

"I feel my father's power!"

"Starlight Extinction!"

Student Zhuge Ni roared, pouring all her power into the Astrolabe.

She wanted to use her father's strongest technique to suppress the Thunder Demon Emperor before her.

At this moment, the Star Array of Qingcheng shattered completely, turning into a torrent of starlight that swept toward the Thunder Demon Emperor, intending to extinguish and destroy everything in its path.

After unleashing this strike, Student Zhuge Ni spat out a mouthful of blood, her entire aura wilting, which showed how much this strike had consumed her.

Seeing this powerful strike, the people of Qingcheng vaguely ignited some hope, wanting to see if this strike could create a miracle.

"Hmph! A futile struggle! This Emperor does not even take such a move seriously!"

The Thunder Demon Emperor gave a cold shout, the power of thunder surging around his body and condensing into a giant lightning hand that reached toward the torrent of starlight.

"Thunder Demon Claw!"

The giant lightning hand grasped the torrent of starlight in its palm, then squeezed fiercely.

Bang!

The starlight, just like the hope in everyone's hearts, vanished completely.

Everyone's faces were ashen.

Faced with that incomparably terrifying figure bathed in thunder high in the sky, a deep despair rose in everyone's hearts.

It was too terrifying.

A powerhouse of the Demon Emperor level was simply not something they could deal with.

Student Zhuge Ni's legs went soft, and she fell directly to the ground, her eyes losing focus.

Her desperate strike couldn't even injure the Demon Emperor before her.

This kind of battle was simply impossible to win.

"Mere ants, you can certainly resist. Do you have any other means? If not, this Emperor is going to destroy the city."

The Thunder Demon Emperor raised a finger, and an incomparably terrifying giant lightning ball condensed at his fingertip.

Countless arcs of electricity raged; even from an infinite distance, everyone could feel the shocking aura of destruction from that lightning ball.

"Everyone... I, Hu Weng, still say the same thing. I cannot guarantee that everyone will survive, but I, Hu Weng, can guarantee that I will definitely charge at the very front!"

"As the City Lord of Qingcheng, I issue my final order."

"People of Qingcheng, follow me, charge!"

City Lord Hu Weng drew his blade and charged toward the Thunder Demon Emperor like a moth to a flame.

Behind him, the class-changers of Qingcheng also had the resolve to die in their eyes at this moment.

"Charge!"

They acted as if they did not know how terrifying the Thunder Demon Emperor was, charging toward him without any hesitation.

"Hehe... the light of fireflies, daring to compete with the bright moon? Very well, today this Emperor will let you see how terrifying a Demon Emperor-level powerhouse is!"

The Thunder Demon Emperor sneered, preparing to take action to slaughter everyone.

But at this moment, a kind voice suddenly rang out.

"Demon Emperor? What kind of stinking fish or rotten shrimp is this?"
