Chapter 799: Five Elements Demon-Slaying Sacred Array

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!! In that split second, countless thick roots sprouted suddenly from the Sky Island, these roots exuding Demon Qi lashing out at every cultivator present—their speed was terrifying, countless demonic roots forming a vast net that swarmed over everyone, leaving not even a Great Completion Earth Supreme untouched.

"Kill!!" Cao Shenzǐ and others roared in unison, facing the overwhelming demonic roots, they unleashed their Supreme Phantoms, instantly manifesting countless Divine Techniques, even pulling out their respective Sacred Artifacts.

When Great Completion Earth Supremes used Sacred Artifacts, their power could sever time and cut through myriad laws—the hardened demonic roots were sliced apart, the net-like assault of roots all severed in succession.

Yet the demonic roots sprouting from the Sky Island were far more terrifying than they had imagined!!

A series of eerie sounds rang out, endless Demon Qi gushed forth, and in an instant, the Demon Qi surged skyward.

Boom! Boom!! At that moment, from the mysterious Sky Island emerged countless white bones and massive bone spines—these skeletal remains too were spewing out Demon Qi.

Demon Qi entwined with these bones, and with a sharp *zing*, each skeletal figure rose like a demon from Hell, letting out ferocious roars.

"This is… the Corpse Demon Clan's Corpse Qi!"

"This is the Corpse Demon Clan's lingering technique!"

Several ancestral elders of the Five Spirit Clans, who had lived for ten thousand years, stared grimly at the Sky Island, at the dark gases gushing forth and the skeletal figures controlled by Demon Qi.

That Corpse Qi was utterly unlike Spiritual Energy, yet it was exceptionally tyrannical and venomous—once it infiltrated, one's vital life force would be swiftly stripped away.

"Fifty thousand years ago, it was the Corpse Demon Clan's Demon Emperor who invaded the Five Elements Spirit Soil," Zhu Ku of the Fire Spirit Clan frowned tightly, fists clenched—never had he imagined that after fifty thousand years, the power of the Domain Beyond's evil clans had still not been purged.

Worse still, the Domain Beyond's evil clans had left behind techniques here, secretly absorbing the dimensional power of the Five Elements Spirit Soil to nurture this Demonic Fetus!

"Corpse Demon Clan," Zhu Luo murmured—this term was clearly alien to their New Generation, who knew nothing of the Domain Beyond's evil clans.

"Among the Domain Beyond's evil clans, there are Thirty-Two Great Tribes—the most core forces of the Domain Beyond—and the Corpse Demon Clan is one of them."

"The Corpse Demon Clan possesses the ability to control corpses, drawing power from them. This Demonic Fetus will likely give birth to a Demon Emperor!" sighed the Wood Spirit Tribe's ancestral elder.

Xiao Yan gazed at the Sky Island above and murmured: "That strange eyeball is even stronger than I imagined—it's begun hunting Great Completion Earth Supremes."

Countless demonic skeletons, corpses, and roots coalesced into a Corpse Demon army, swarming like locusts toward all living things—ordinary Earth Supremes were no match, and even Great Completion Earth Supremes were not spared, charging forward relentlessly.

This Corpse Demon army carried thick, potent Demon Qi—any Great Thousand World cultivator slain by them would have their Supreme Sea corrupted, their Divine Soul and Supreme Form demonized, becoming part of the Corpse Demon army.

The more they fought, the more they multiplied!

Seeing this, even Xiao Yan, who knew some of the truth, grew grim—had it not been for his Soul Connection with Xiao Yixian, knowing she was safe and secretly refining the Other Shore Flower, he would have rushed in to rescue her at all costs.

Seeing the Demonic Fetus, which resembled a giant virus, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Yet the demonic roots and demon armies didn't merely weave a net to hunt cultivators—they were also sucking up the Heaven and Earth Power of the Five Spirit Realms, as if trying to drain the Five Elements Spirit Soil dry.

"What the hell is inside this dimensional fetus? Why can the Domain Beyond's evil clans absorb Spiritual Energy?!" Countless demonic roots still shot out from within the Sky Island, piercing cultivators' bodies and frantically devouring their Supreme Seas and Spiritual Energy.

Seeing this, everyone was filled with dread—Demon Qi and Spiritual Energy were mutually opposed; for Great Thousand World cultivators, Demon Qi corrupted their Supreme Seas and drove them mad, yet the Domain Beyond's evil clans were equally vulnerable—Spiritual Energy purified them, causing their Cultivation Realm to regress, and absorbing too much could kill them.

Thus, after the Heavenly Demon God was sealed, the Domain Beyond's evil clans could only hide in territories dominated by Demon Qi, never leaving these zones—for they were outsiders, suppressed and purified by the will of the Great Thousand World.

Now, seeing this strange Demonic Fetus absorbing Spiritual Energy and devouring the Supreme Seas of Great Thousand World cultivators—how could they not be stunned?

"This isn't a dimensional fetus—it's a trap! A trap left by the Domain Beyond's evil clans, meant to lure in countless cultivators and devour their SpiritFlesh!!" The Five Spirit Clans weren't fools—seeing this, they instantly understood the truth, their faces turning pale.

They had been tricked from the very beginning!

Xiao Yan glanced at the Five Spirit Clans and others, thinking: "Not completely stupid—but too late, alas."

Xiao Yan suddenly recalled the Soul Sect's invasion of the Yao Realm—but this time, he lacked even the strength to intervene; he was still only an Upper Earth Supreme, and though he had hidden cards to rival Great Completion Earth Supremes, facing a Demon Eye equivalent to a Heaven Supreme, he wouldn't be so foolish as to charge in.

Moreover, this Demon Eye seemed to have recognized him—it had been awakened by his Asura Soul Severing Technique.

"Huh… so am I the main culprit?" Xiao Yan suddenly froze—had he, after all this, become the mastermind?!

But he couldn't stop the demonic eye, couldn't control it—could he really be blamed?

"Ahh!" Screams continued to rise and fall—one after another Great Thousand World cultivator fell beneath the demonic roots and Corpse Demon army.

Absorbing the Demonic Fetus's power and devouring countless cultivators' Spirit Flesh on the Five Elements Spirit Soil, the Demon Eye's strength surged—now, even Earth Supremes were easily slaughtered.

"My god, what kind of demon is this?!"

"Run! These are the Corpse Demon Clan of the Domain Beyond! Once the Demonic Fetus fully matures into a Demon Emperor, we'll all die here!" An elder from a major faction turned pale with terror and turned to flee.

As for fighting the Domain Beyond's evil clans to the death? That was just talk—when faced with them, many Great Thousand World factions chose to flee and leave it to the Great Thousand Palace to handle.

Seeing elders from Heaven Supreme factions flee, other cultivators had no hesitation—they immediately turned and ran. Let others deal with the Domain Beyond's evil clans.

"Ahh!!" The Upper Earth Supreme from the Heavenly Saint Sect who had fought Xiao Yan screamed as a demonic root pierced his chest, instantly draining all his SpiritFlesh and Spiritual Energy.

Even as he died, his eyes remained wide open—he never imagined that a mighty Upper Earth Supreme like himself would meet such an end.

At this moment, the several Great Completion Earth Supremes still on the Altar, along with Cao Shenzǐ, all turned pale—they had even allied with the Great Completion Earth Supremes of the Five Spirit Clans.

Yet even with several Absolute Saint Treasures among them, even with over a dozen Great Completion Earth Supremes combined, their unparalleled Divine Techniques still failed to break through the Demon Eye's assault—they could barely defend themselves.

The Demon Eye had absorbed the entire dimensional fetus's power, plus ever more Spirit Flesh—its strength now rivaled that of a Demon Emperor.

Watching the Heavenly Saint Sect's disciples being slaughtered in greater numbers, Cao Shenzǐ's face darkened to its worst—he gritted his teeth, roared: "We retreat! This Demonic Fetus's strength rivals a Demon Emperor—we cannot stop it. We must leave and notify the Execution Demon Masters of the Execution Demon Hall to handle this!"

Hearing Cao Shenzǐ's words, the other shadowy figures hesitated—had they been willing to fight to the death, unleashing the Absolute Saint Treasures' ultimate state, perhaps they could have destroyed the Demonic Fetus before its birth.

But the Demonic Fetus wouldn't sit idle—if they fought desperately, even with Absolute Saint Treasures, they couldn't guarantee survival—they weren't true Heaven Supremes, and using Absolute Saint Treasures drained them immensely.

"Leave first!" An elder on the Altar finally barked sternly—in the choice between confronting the Domain Beyond's evil clans and self-preservation, they naturally chose self-preservation.

Let the taller ones hold up the falling sky—they were merely Great Completion Earth Supremes, not fools to throw their lives away against a being at Demon Emperor level.

Boom! In that split second, Cao Shenzǐ pulled out an object—a double-bladed sword—and immediately sacrificed vast quantities of Supreme Spirit Liquid, pouring it into the blades—a peerless Heaven Supreme aura erupted into a sweeping blade slash.

The blade slash swept across, instantly severing countless demonic roots, carving out a path of sky, protecting all the Heavenly Saint Sect disciples as they broke free.

"Kill!!"

"All Yin-Yang Gate disciples, follow me out!"

"All Hundred Ghost City disciples, leave with me!"

The shadowy figures on the Altar no longer concealed themselves—they let out piercing roars, unleashing massive Spiritual Energy, using Absolute Saint Treasures to slash through the air, carving open a passage, leading their prodigy disciples and Elders away from the Five Elements Spirit Soil.

To these bandits, the Five Elements Spirit Soil wasn't their land—if the Domain Beyond's evil clans seized it, so be it. Though they lost the dimensional fetus, they had already looted many Secret Treasures from the Five Elements Spirit Soil—enough to justify their trip.

The Five Spirit Clans were overwhelmed themselves—no time to care about them.

"Yin-Yang Gate, Hundred Ghost City, Heavenly Saint Sect?! You fled the battlefield against the Domain Beyond's evil clans?!" The Thunder Spirit Clan's ancestral elder, seeing these Great Thousand World elites lead their disciples away, turned crimson with rage.

They possessed Absolute Saint Treasures and several Great Completion Earth Supremes—and yet they led the retreat!

"Born in hardship, dying in comfort; in times of peace, the strong of the Great Thousand World have lost the resolve they once had to guard at all costs." Xiao Yan, witnessing this scene, paused in surprise, then sighed helplessly.

No wonder, back then, the Domain Beyond's demonic clan, led by the Heavenly Demon God, swept through unopposed, even seizing nearly half of the Great Thousand World's territory at their peak—and now they still hold close to half.

The Domain Beyond's demonic clan fought with their backs to the wall: if they lost, the World's Will would erase them utterly, leaving them no place to return to. How could such a race not be powerful?

"Heh, finally gone. Our ancestors long foresaw this moment. Those phenomena just now weren't caused by the Demonic Fetus—they were the Spirit Array left behind by our ancestors." Seeing the Heavenly Saint Sect and others break through the encirclement and depart, the five Spirit Clans' ancestral elders smiled calmly, gazing at the demon-qi-churning demonic eye: "We only intended to wait until they left."

"Not only has the Demonic Fetus of the Domain Beyond awakened—the continental will of the Five Elements Spirit Soil has awakened as well!"

With that, the five Grand Earth Supreme cultivators of the Five Spirit Clans simultaneously formed hand seals. Instantly, each of the Five Spirit Clans took their positions atop their respective Spirit Realms, stomped hard upon the ground, and let out a long roar as five distinct types of Spirit energy surged into the heavens.

All disciples of the Five Spirit Clans simultaneously uttered true words, their Spirit energies merging to form a colossal Five Elements Spirit Array.

"By the power of the Five Elements, awaken the Five Elements Holy Array to Suppress Demons—seal the Five Elements!!!"

BOOM—BOOM—BOOM!! At that moment, the impossible occurred: the entire sky and earth of the Five Elements Spirit Soil were illuminated. From each of the five Spirit Realms, a beam of distinct elemental light shot upward, opening a vast, immense Spirit Array in the heavens.

The Spirit Array opened, unleashing boundless Supreme-level aura—it was a Supreme-level Spirit Array, requiring the combined effort of all Five Spirit Clans to activate!

In that instant, lines of celestial meridians appeared in the sky, the Array's patterns interweaving. Stars emerged, the sun and moon revolved, the Five Elements flowed endlessly, and a colossal array was etched across the heavens.

ZOOO!! In an instant, a five-colored divine light descended from the heavens. It was as if a celestial deity held a Spirit Realm, and from it poured five-colored divine light that erased all things—striking down demons, slaying all.

CRASH!! The five-colored divine light swept downward, shattering countless demonic roots, melting countless demonic corpses. Beneath the five-colored divine light, whether Demon Qi, Corpse Qi, or the entire army of Corpse Demons—all were washed away and destroyed.

"My god, the Five Spirit Clans had a backup plan in the Five Elements Spirit Soil!"

"Damn it, we were tricked!"

Seeing this, Cao Zi and the others suddenly realized the Five Spirit Clans had a way to counter the Demonic Fetus. When they tried to re-enter the Five Elements Spirit Soil, they found it already sealed by a Spirit Array—no access to the Void Passage remained.

The Five Elements Spirit Soil was now sealed, forbidding all entry.

"Damn it! The Five Spirit Clans must have known casting such a great Array would drain them terribly." Cao Zi couldn't help but regret it—he should have stayed inside.

The Five Spirit Clans feared that if they exhausted themselves, their own allies would strike them down—so they deliberately feigned weakness.

"My god, the Five Elements Spirit Soil had a massive Spirit Array pre-placed!" Seeing the demon-slaying Array activate, the patterns emerge, and the five-colored divine light descend, everyone's legs went weak as they cried out in shock: "This—that—that's a Grand Master Level Array! Even a Demon Emperor couldn't escape death!"
