Chapter 2239: Madly Entering the Demon Path

Facing the beast horde like a tide, each strike of the Heavenly Family's old ancestor felled swaths of beasts.

Under the Heavenly Family old ancestor's Hù yòu, the pressure on Ye Zhangqing's side was greatly reduced.

Meanwhile, deep in the Wuji Shanmai, Huang Lao and the four others who had been blocked by the three great Shou Shou naturally also noticed the situation at Wuji Xiancheng.

Upon seeing Ye Zhangqing besieged by the beast horde, Huang Lao couldn't help but feel a jolt.

However, with the appearance of the Heavenly Family old ancestor, his mind steadied.

With the Heavenly Family old ghost present, protecting Ye Zhangqing should be no problem, but this beast horde..........

"You want to seize Wuji Xiancheng."

Soon guessing the beasts' purpose, Zuo Fu said with a grim face.

Wuji Xiancheng is the only major city within a radius of ten thousand li.

Inside the city there is a Teleportation Array; for the beasts to seize Wuji Xiancheng, there is no doubt they are naturally aiming for the Teleportation Array.

With the Teleportation Array in place, powerful humans can rush to support upon receiving the news.

But without the Teleportation Array, even if the news spread, rushing here would take considerable time.

By then the beasts would only need to deal with the human cultivators inside Wuji Xiancheng, undoubtedly buying them ample time.

Wuji Xiancheng existed originally to resist the beasts.

It seems there was a plan all along, but obviously the beasts did not expect that, besides Huang Lao and his four companions, the Heavenly Family old ancestor would also appear at Wuji Xiancheng at this time.

With him holding the fort, while the three great Shou Shou are tied down, wanting to take Wuji Xiancheng is truly difficult.

At this moment the three great Shou Shou also clearly realized this; although they were locked in fierce battle with Huang Lao, Zuo Fu and the four others, their expressions grew solemn.

How did all these top human experts end up gathered in Wuji Xiancheng, a full five of them?

If they had not previously discussed matters in detail with that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, the three great Shou Shou would have thought the other side was deliberately concealing the human side's situation.

The appearance of the Heavenly Family old ancestor indeed caught the three great Shou Shou off guard.

At that very moment, the voice of that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon echoed simultaneously in the minds of the three great Shou Shou.

"With a top human expert holding the fort, it's hard to take Wuji Xiancheng; we should decide early."

Upon hearing this, the three great Shou Shou all startled, obviously understanding what decision the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon meant.

The other side had previously made this proposal, but the three great Shou Shou had refused it.

Because the consequences would be too dire.

But now, the appearance of the Heavenly Family old ancestor has left the three great Shou Shou with no choice.

Once some things are done, there is no turning back, like an arrow loosed from a bow.

Having chosen to act, if this attempt fails and instead they are suppressed by the humans, the beasts will surely face devastation they cannot bear.

Even the very survival of their race hangs in the opponent's thoughts.

So, upon hearing the words of that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, the three great Shou Shou hesitated only a moment before making their choice.

Steeling himself, the Elephant Ancestor directly sent a mental reply to that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

"Attack."

The other side gave no reply, but obviously they had received the message.

In the Elephant Ancestor's palace, after receiving the reply, that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon flashed a smile in his eyes.

He then had all the surrounding beasts gather together.

The first batch of beasts quickly arrived outside the great hall.

Gazing at the dense throng of beasts, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, regardless of their strength, unleashed black mist that shot up into the sky, rapidly spreading outward, instantly enveloping all the beasts.

Then, within the black mist, strands of bloody qi gradually appeared.

This bloody qi was appearing for the first time, seeming different from the techniques it had used before.

And the beasts enveloped by this black mist bloody qi indeed reacted differently than before.

The pain they endured became more intense; wails of agony quickly spread through the valley, rising and falling.

Meanwhile, with the wails, these beasts' aura indeed surged, their momentum far more violent than before.

However, through the black mist, pairs of scarlet eyes flickered in and out of view.

These beasts' eyes, like the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon's, turned scarlet and violent.

The intent to kill sworn in their eyes could hardly be concealed.

Within a few hundred breaths, as the black mist bloody qi slowly dissipated, even the weakest of this first batch of gathered beasts had increased their aura by at least fifty percent.

Many even saw their strength double.

But at this point the beasts' condition grew strange; each seemed to have lost reason, their hearts filled solely with slaughter and brutality.

Indeed, that was exactly the case.

This is also why the Elephant Ancestor and the others had hesitated.

That Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon can refine the beasts' bloodline power, but developing this ability to its extreme carries side effects.

Forcibly boosting their strength will cause the beasts to temporarily lose reason, becoming violently murderous.

The killing intent in their hearts cannot be controlled; they only think of slaying everything before them, becoming extremely bloodthirsty.

That is precisely why the Elephant Ancestor and the others had long refused to agree to the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, allowing it only to enhance the beasts' bloodline power by ordinary means.

But now, with the appearance of the Heavenly Family old ancestor at Wuji Xiancheng, the Elephant Ancestor and the others have no other choice.

Wuji Xiancheng must certainly be taken; otherwise, once human reinforcements arrive, the beasts will stand no chance.

The gap in strength between the two sides is too great.

The beasts must buy time to let other Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons enter the Immortal Realm; only by joining forces can they hope to contend with humanity.

This is their deal with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

Each side seeks its own: the beasts wish to overturn the heavens and seize the Immortal Realm, while the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon wishes to invade the Immortal Realm; they hit it off immediately.

But the premise of everything is that we must first capture Wuji Xiancheng; without destroying the city's Teleportation Array Formation, the plan cannot succeed.

"Kill."

Looking at the group of beastmen with blood-red eyes before him, this Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon let out a loud shout.

Immediately, relying on streams of aura, he guided the beast horde to attack Wuji Xiancheng.

That black mist blood qi swiftly weaved through the mountains and forests, and the beast horde indeed seemed to be guided, quickly chasing after those black mist blood qi.

Along the way, without the slightest pause, the black beast horde trampled flat everything that blocked the path.

That towering murderous aura could be clearly felt even from far away.

Huang Lao and the others naturally also noticed this change; in the midst of battle, their brows furrowed slightly.

The appearance of the beast horde is not strange; it's just that the condition of this beast horde is somewhat unusual.

That towering blood qi, plus the obvious aura coming from the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, all indicate that the beast horde at present is not simple.

"You beastmen are courting death."

Undoubtedly this is the means of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon; at this moment, the female cultivator from the Heavenly Palace, her eyes icy, killing intent overflowing, looked at the elephant ancestors and shouted.

This is literally making a deal with a tiger for its skin.
