Chapter 486: Blooming Everywhere

The Outer Realm Evil Clan on the periphery of the Tianlan Continent has recently had a rather streak of bad luck.

Once upon a time, they were lucky enough to find a lower plane in the vast Xuwu that had not been patronized by other kin, and they thought this would be the beginning of their happy life, never expecting it to be the end of their free life.

Unlike other lower planes mentioned by their clansmen that were easily conquered, the living beings of this continent were unexpectedly tenacious, actually managing to trade blows with their great Outer Realm Evil Clan.

Even so, they, the Outer Realm Evil Clan, are powerful, noble, and invincible!

How could mere natives of a lower plane be the opponents of the Evil Clan army? They exerted a little effort and suppressed this insignificant resistance, and it looked like they were about to pluck the fruits of victory.

Alas, even after all the kowtowing and bowing, the final step went wrong; the strong among these natives actually used their own lives as a catalyst to forcibly link the energy of this lower plane, constructing an impenetrable defensive line around the entire continent and blasting them all out.

After thousands of years of long waiting, the Evil Clan soldiers infiltrated, were exposed, and were wiped out day after day, never tiring of it.

Finally, their miserable plight became too much for the clan to watch, and news came that a Mysterious Demon Emperor would soon arrive to take action personally, and the development of "leading the way" parties within the Tianlan Continent was also looking excellent.

They thought that after years of waiting, they had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel, but you never know whether tomorrow or an accident will arrive first.

Fortune and misfortune are interdependent; the arrival of good news meant bad news was not far off. Who knows which powerhouse from the Great Thousand World was so bored that they wandered into this godforsaken place and sent their Ghost Demon Emperor directly to meet the Evil God, while also writing off the vast majority of their Evil Clan army, leaving only a few remnants behind.

But do not worry!

The few remaining Demon Commanders of the Outer Realm Evil Clan could not help but have tears in their eyes; the bitter days were coming to an end!

They had already received definite news that in three months, the Mysterious Demon Emperor would arrive, and by then...

Ho ha ha ha ha!

"Report—"

Just as the Demon Commanders were happily fantasizing about their wonderful life after breaking through the Tianlan Continent, a hurried report was inappropriately transmitted into the main camp tent, and a Demon General burst in.

"What is the meaning of this panic? It is unseemly!"

"Speak!"

The Demon Commanders had already assumed a dignified posture, waiting in battle array as they looked at the reporting Demon General, secretly calculating how to send the other party further away.

"Reporting to all Commanders, the outer protective barrier of the Tianlan Continent seems to show signs of dissipating."

The Demon General said in an uncertain tone.

"What?"

The group of Demon Commanders stood up with a "whoosh," their eyes wide as they stared at the Demon General who brought the news, their tone serious,

"Are you telling the truth?"

"The consequences of deceiving this Commander... you know them!"

The Demon General's face turned bitter,

"Commander, even if you gave me ten more guts, I would not dare to deceive you!"

"Good, this Commander will go and investigate at once."

The group of Demon Commanders left their seats and saw from afar that the giant light screen that had blocked them for thousands of years was dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye, with only a thin layer left, trembling, holding firm, and gritting its teeth to endure.

"Good, pass on this Commander's military order: assemble the army."

The Demon Commanders were overjoyed; as long as this membrane was gone, what were mere natives worth!

With the tireless efforts of the traitors inside the Tianlan Continent, they knew the other side's strength like the back of their hand; taking it was not impossible.

Even if they could not defeat them, as long as they could hold a stalemate until the Mysterious Demon Emperor arrived, they could successfully claim the credit of being the vanguard.

As time passed, more and more Outer Realm Evil Clan members gathered in front of the barrier, pairs of greedy and hungry eyes staring at the Tianlan Continent that was about to be left defenseless.

In less than half an hour, this membrane could no longer support itself and shattered with a "hum."

"Good!"

A Demon Commander excitedly drew his weapon and shouted loudly,

"Lads, follow this Commander and attack..."

Suddenly, the Demon Commander's voice got stuck in his throat,

"Hm?"

What did he see?

Dense, menacing figures, their eyes seemingly glowing with the eerie green light of hungry wolves seeing food, grinning as they charged over.

Along with them came countless colorful meteors, carrying a dangerous aura, smashing into the crowd of the Outer Realm Evil Clan without any obstruction, triggering waves of screams.

"Tianlan forces, attack!"

Yang Jiuxiao took the lead, his withered and thin figure clad in ink-black armor, and together with the first echelon composed of power-holders like Yan Lie, they were like sharp arrows, rapidly piercing into the Evil Clan camp that had been stunned by the sudden attack.

Boom, boom, boom!

Yang Jiuxiao's expression was indifferent, his shriveled fists striking out continuously, piercing through one Outer Realm Evil Clan member after another blocking his path, driving straight toward the direction of the strongest aura he sensed.

Boom!

"Burning Heaven of the Blazing Sun!"

Dazzling fiery light suddenly erupted on the battlefield, instantly burning the surrounding Outer Realm Evil Clan into Xuwu. Yan Lie laughed loudly as he charged toward the same target as Yang Jiuxiao,

"Hahaha, this is what a battle should be!"

"Blooming Snow Lotus!"

Qingyun Palace Master Qiu Hanxue waved her long sword, and a snow-white, transparent lotus pattern faintly formed behind her, beautiful and magnificent, yet filled with killing intent, as endless chill spread in all directions.

"Rain Curtain of Magnificent Stars!"

A curtain of rain suddenly condensed on the battlefield, and as the raindrops fell on the Outer Realm Evil Clan and met the spreading cold air, they instantly created crystalline ice sculptures.

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

The sound of ice sculptures shattering played a unique tune on the battlefield.

"Sister Qiu, I told you, we are a perfect match!"

Ling Long looked at the expressionless Qiu Hanxue with a smile; in her view, the two's coordination was simply perfect.

"Do not be distracted!"

Qiu Hanxue said indifferently, and then killed her way toward the center of the battlefield.

"Hey, wait for me!" Ling Long shouted as she chased after her.

"Since fellow Daoists are unwilling to fall behind, how could this old monk stand by and watch?"

The Sect Master of the Bodhi Sect chuckled, then looked at the Outer Realm Evil Clan surrounding him, his expression suddenly changing as he pressed his palms together.

"The Buddha has a compassionate face, but also lacks not the wrathful eyes of the Vajra!"

One Venerable Golden Body Buddha Statue, thousands of feet tall, appeared abruptly on the battlefield with a ferocious expression.

"The Buddha says: You all have sinned!"

The Buddha statue's lips parted, spitting out a string of obscure and difficult-to-understand Sanskrit, as brilliant golden light shrouded a vast area of the battlefield.

"Go to the Western Paradise."

As the words fell, the Outer Realm Evil Clan surrounding the Golden Body Buddha Statue revealed expressions of relief one after another, performed a Buddhist salute toward the statue, and dissipated into golden specks of light without a trace.

In the shadow of the golden light, a thin black line wove through the crowd on the battlefield; wherever it passed, all the Outer Realm Evil Clan struggled as they fell to the ground, rapidly losing their vitality.

The Sect Master of Liuying Gate, Ying Shang, revealed his figure, glanced at the direction of the Buddha statue with lingering fear, and gave his body a shake.

"The old geezers of the Bodhi Sect are truly all perverts!"

He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of being given last rites by this bunch of old monks at the moment of his death, and having to repent for his own sins that were too numerous to record.

Casting his gaze into the distance, Ying Shang licked his lips.

"Are these the powerhouses of the Outer Realm Evil Clan? I wonder if the feeling of a blade entering their bodies is any different from the experience with the living beings of the Tianlan Continent?"
