Chapter 518: Immortal Domain Crisis

Zhang Nuo secretly studied the principles of the Demon Refining Pool, recording them one by one in his heart! Perhaps one day, he would also have use for this method!

Five days later, outside the Huan Shou Gong, numerous demon cultivators stood in several rows. The girl in green stood at the very front, her gaze directed toward the sky, where the scorching sun baked the entire "Nine Lives Desert" like a red-hot iron wok! A single drop of water falling onto it would immediately turn into steam and vanish!

It could be seen that around the Huan Shou Gong, several large teleportation Dharma Arrays stood separately. At the tops of these arrays, Fowen flowed incessantly, looking as if they were warming up and could be activated at any moment.

The girl's gaze shifted to her left, where thousands of demon cultivators dressed in human attire stood. They had all walked out of the Demon Refining Pool; their expressions were somewhat dull, yet their bodies exuded a murderous aura!

"Hu Bao! Order the cultivators to activate the Dharma Arrays! Welcome the great powers of the Demon World!"

The girl's clear, ethereal voice resounded across the entire sky. Her voice was like a sweet rain, causing all the cultivators present to cheer loudly!

After Hu Bao gave a heavy affirmative, he turned around and walked toward the back! Before long, several Dharma Arrays erupted with humming sounds simultaneously. The noise grew louder and louder in the sky above the "Nine Lives Desert," as if the entire sky were about to burst from the humming of the arrays!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Beams of cyan light shot from the Dharma Arrays toward the sky. These beams were dozens of zhang thick, instantly vanishing into the high heavens!

As the power of these light beams increased, the entire sky became restless. Waves of immense Heaven and Earth Origin Qi burst forth, shattering much of the void. At the same time, black holes appeared in the sky, growing from small to large until they were finally hundreds of zhang wide!

The sky gradually dimmed, and for a time, even the sunlight could not penetrate it. The sky above the "Nine Lives Desert" was shrouded in dark clouds, and waves of formidable auras began to emerge from the black holes opened by the Dharma Arrays!

Swish! A cyan halo flashed inside the black hole, and then the blackness vanished, replaced by a glow of spirit light!

The girl in green and the numerous demon cultivators below looked up at all of this, their heartbeats accelerating rapidly! They had waited for this day for a long time!

The several holes in the sky emitting cyan light were the passages from the Demon World to this "Nine Lives Desert"! In just a few moments, those great powers from the Demon World would arrive here one after another! When that time came, the Demon Beast Tide would begin! The end of the Immortal Domain would also arrive!

A streak of escape light suddenly descended from the hole in the sky, and after a few flickers, it landed right in front of the girl in green!

The escape light faded to reveal a middle-aged man. This person had a peculiar face shape; from afar, it looked like a donkey's face, and a pair of ears were twisted and grew toward the top of his head!

"Fairy Ai, you have finally opened the passage to the Immortal World. If it had been any later, I would have been driven mad!"

After a burst of laughter, the donkey-faced man looked at the girl in green and said!

The girl's expression sank slightly in contemplation; she had not expected the first one to descend from the Demon World to be him! The donkey-faced man before her was named Kongtong Cun, and because his appearance resembled a donkey, some people in the Demon World even called him the "Donkey Cultivator"! Do not let his unremarkable appearance fool you; his cultivation had already advanced to the Lianxu Chuji!

"I am truly surprised that Fellow Daoist Kong has taken on the role of vanguard this time!"

The girl in green smiled sweetly. Just as she was about to speak, demon cultivators began to descend one after another from the several passages in the sky. The dense crowd of demon cultivators appeared as mere black dots in the sky at first, but in an instant, they all landed on the ground! The boundless sea of demon cultivators numbered in the hundreds of thousands!

"Fairy Ai, how is it? I brought quite a few cultivators this time, didn't I!"

A look of pride appeared on Kongtong Cun's face! This was his entire strength in the Demon World. In the Demon World, he was considered a Demon King of a region. This time, he had emptied his nest, and the scale of his force was second to none!

"Fellow Daoist Kong's courage is truly shocking to this little woman! However, the demon cultivators I have gathered in the Wilderness over these years are also quite numerous!"

Her mouth twitched slightly. The girl in green had not expected that for this Demon Beast Tide, the high-level figures of the Demon World would hold nothing back; it seemed they were determined to succeed!

"Demon cultivators hidden in the Nine Lives Desert! Come out!"

The girl leaped high into the air and waved one hand, sending a pale green fluorescence drifting toward the endless desert before her!

At the same time, the golden sand in the desert trembled.

Boom! Boom!

One explosive sound after another came from the desert. Sand was blasted into the sky, as if a desert storm had kicked up again. After the golden sand filling the sky fell, Kongtong Cun's eyes were filled with horror. His long ears twitched a few times, but he did not make a sound!

Meanwhile, Zhan Luo and the others standing behind the girl in green wore arrogant expressions! Looking at the desert before them, one could see an endless sea of various demon cultivators. These demon cultivators had varying levels of cultivation, ranging from Four-tier to Seventh Rank, visible everywhere! The ground was almost invisible beneath the color of the sand, with only countless demon cultivators standing there!

"Fairy Ai is truly capable of grand gestures! How did you gather so many demon cultivators!"

Kongtong Cun twitched his ears a few times, and the arrogance in his eyes faded significantly! The demon cultivators appearing before him numbered at least a million! Although their cultivation levels were uneven, they held a massive advantage in numbers!

"These demon cultivators are all descendants of those who fell in the last Demon Beast Tide. For the sake of this day, they have lived in this environment for years, all to storm into the Immortal Domain!"

The girl straightened her face, layers of green fluorescence floating around her body. As her mood fluctuated, the fluorescence flickered unsteadily!

"Since we have made such a big commotion, let us begin immediately! I believe the Immortal Domain will not be able to react in time!"

Kongtong Cun reached out to summon the cultivators he had brought from the Demon World to take the lead! However, the girl blocked him!

"Fellow Daoist Kong, no need to rush! For this Demon Beast Tide, this little woman has made full preparations! Let them go first!"

As she spoke, the girl turned her head to look at the thousands of demon cultivators who had walked out of the Demon Refining Pool!

"Them?"

Kongtong Cun was somewhat skeptical. Those demon cultivators did not seem weak in cultivation, but why did they look just like human cultivators?

"Yes! Them! These demon cultivators were all cultivated by me through the Demon Refining Pool. Letting them take the lead can reduce some of our casualties. After all, we cannot afford to lose this Demon Beast Tide! We must succeed or perish!"

Her firm words stirred a vast fighting spirit in the hearts of everyone present! The method of attack known as the Demon Beast Tide required a massive number of demon beasts, but at the same time, many would fall! Since the last Demon Beast Tide, the Demon World had been recuperating for so long that it had barely recovered to its current state!

"Very well! In any case, for this operation in the Immortal World, Fairy Ai is the boss! I, Kong, will listen to you entirely!"

Though he was somewhat unwilling, Kongtong Cun had no choice. When he descended to the Immortal World, several high-level figures of the Demon World had instructed him more than once that in terms of familiarity with the Immortal World, he was far inferior to Ai Yuchen!

The girl in green's full name was Ai Yuchen, and her unique wood-attribute techniques were also highly renowned in the Demon World!

"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Kong! Zhan Luo, you take the demon cultivators from the Demon Refining Pool and take the lead; you must reach Gongyue City in the shortest time possible! Tu Zhen, you take sixty thousand demon cultivators to support Zhan Luo; there must be no mistakes!"

Although Ai Yuchen was a woman, she was no less capable than any man. She arranged the battle plan flawlessly, and even Kongtong Cun nodded repeatedly as he listened!

This kind of premeditated battle was indeed much better than his own reckless charging; at the very least, casualties could be greatly reduced!

Countless demon cultivators moved into action, and the entire Nine Lives Desert boiled! Golden sand surged into the high sky, turning the entire firmament yellow!

Zhang Nuo, inside the Demon Refining Room, only felt violent tremors coming from above the ground, while countless mixed Spirit Power fluctuations drifted everywhere!

At first, he did not know what had happened, but later, from the conversations of several demon cultivators, he learned everything!

His heart was filled with horror! He had not expected the Demon Beast Tide to be launched so quickly, and he did not know if the Immortal Domain had received the news! If they were caught off guard by these fierce demon beasts, the situation would be dangerous! If the Immortal Domain were destroyed, would there be any place left for future ascending cultivators?

Zhang Nuo thought of many things, but most of all, he thought of his own safety! Since the Demon Beast Tide had been launched, did that mean he had a chance to escape!

Curled up in a corner, Zhang Nuo carefully sensed the movements on the ground. Coupled with the news constantly sent back by Xuan Jin, Zhang Nuo understood that the demon cultivators who had left earlier were merely the vanguard; the main force of this Demon Beast Tide was still staying in the Huan Shou Gong!

However, it looked like in a few more days, they would also emerge. If that time truly came, it would be the best opportunity for Zhang Nuo to escape this place!

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo began to make a series of preparations, especially regarding the green liquid in the Demon Refining Pool. Taking advantage of the time when the girl in green and the others were too busy to pay attention, Zhang Nuo frantically stole a great deal!

He stored these green liquids in a small Jade Bottle, intending to study them carefully once he got out!

Half a month later, Xuan Jin brought back a piece of good news for Zhang Nuo! The numerous demon cultivators led by the girl in green had already set out from the Nine Lives Desert! Now, in the Huan Shou Gong, only a few demon cultivators were left to guard the place, and their cultivation was not very high; there was only one demon cultivator at the Integration Stage guarding the teleportation Dharma Array outside the palace!

Zhang Nuo pondered carefully. Since the girl in green dared to take such a large portion of their total strength out, the cultivators from the Demon World should arrive very soon! If he did not use this opportunity to escape, it would be difficult to escape once the cultivators from the Demon World descended!
