Chapter 770: Chapter 770: Dazhen, Forest of Strong

Within the black hole, Emperor Xuan Sha was engaged in a fierce battle with the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts. The two Skymaster Golden Wheels orbited around Xuan Sha, leaving no openings in his defense. Opposite him, the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts wielded a pair of large blades with a menacing and overwhelming force.

Both combatants moved at lightning speed, their figures barely visible to the naked eye. Their intense clashes kept the black hole from stabilizing for an entire hour.

The two large blades in the hands of the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts seemed like meat grinders, exuding a fierce and frenzied aura. Every collision with the Skymaster Golden Wheels was equally matched, displaying the ferocious nature of both weapons.

These two supreme fighters battled fiercely. After an hour of combat, Xuan Sha’s clothes had begun to tear in places, while the black robe of the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts was similarly tattered, with numerous rips exposing his body, and even his hood had been torn off during the fight.

The Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts was a sinister-looking man with heavily lined eyes and a pale, handsome face. His eyes alone radiated a fierce intent.

A fierce and domineering aura emanated from him.

Xuan Sha’s eyes narrowed. He too was a formidable and ruthless figure, one who showed no fear when encountering another of his kind. Each bout in their battle showcased his resilience and ferocity.

Xuan Sha paid no mind to the external world. Zhong Shan’s ministers were shrouded in mystery, some even beyond his comprehension. Did he need to worry about the remaining four black-robed figures? Especially with Zhong Shan’s many hidden strategies. No, he only needed to focus on defeating the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts.

“It’s been years since anyone made me fight seriously. But when I get serious, there’s only death left behind!” Xuan Sha sneered.

Suddenly, a fierce aura erupted around Xuan Sha. His eyes turned green, becoming the eyes of a wolf, emitting a cold, deadly light.

Xuan Sha was ready to go all out.

“Is that so?” The Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts responded with excitement.

His excitement was peculiar, not for some anticipated success, but for the thrill of facing Xuan Sha’s ferocity.

Suddenly, the eyes of the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts also emitted a soul-stealing cold light. His already eerie eyes turned green, radiating deadly intent.

“You’re from the wolf clan too?” Xuan Sha’s pupils contracted.

“If you beat me, I’ll tell you,” the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts said with a sinister smile.

Xuan Sha’s eyes steadied, and he charged at the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts with explosive speed.

Outside, the three other powerful figures rushed in different directions.

Wang Ku confronted one of them. This black-robed figure had an eerie ability. As an Emperor Realm Phoenix approached, the figure’s body suddenly enlarged to a hundred zhang, but it seemed to turn into a shadowy form, a phantom that the phoenix passed through as if he were made of black smoke.

After the phoenix passed through, the figure shrank back to its original size and sped towards Lingxiao Heavenly Court, evading several intercepting warriors along the way. But none could touch him.

Until Wang Ku suddenly blocked his path.

“Boom——!”

Wang Ku’s bronze throne crashed into the black-robed figure, pinning him against the void.

The battle continued with unmatched ferocity as powerful beings clashed, each showcasing their unique abilities and relentless determination. The chaos around Lingxiao Heavenly Court only grew as both sides fought with everything they had.

The black-robed figure rapidly shifted into a ghostly form, but no matter how he transformed, Wang Ku’s bronze throne firmly suppressed him.

“A Yin Qi essence, transformed into human shape? What a rare find, even in the Great Thousand World. It seems fate has brought you to me,” Wang Ku remarked, looking at the trapped black-robed figure.

“How do you know? Who are you?” the black-robed figure asked in terror.

“I’ve absorbed Yin Qi essence before. None have ever escaped me. Absorbing you will heal my wounds significantly,” Wang Ku replied with a faint smile.

Wang Ku, in his skeletal form, sniffed the air. From beneath the bronze throne, two streams of black Qi emerged from the black-robed figure, flowing into Wang Ku’s hood.

“No, no, no——!”

The black-robed figure struggled frantically, twisting and changing his form, but he couldn’t escape the massive bronze throne’s grip, being mercilessly absorbed by Wang Ku.

Meanwhile, Hao Meili confronted another black-robed figure. The person seemed fearful, as if they had suffered greatly at Hao Meili’s hands during the previous hour.

“You dare insult me? And my master?” Hao Meili’s face was red with anger.

“I didn’t!” The black-robed figure took a step back.

“I heard you! You insulted my master! You insulted the old man! You insulted him, and I won’t let you off!” Hao Meili shouted.

As she shouted, a fierce wind arose around her, and plagues quickly spread through the area.

“I didn’t. I only said, ‘What kind of person taught you to be so reckless?’ That’s not an insult! It’s not an insult!” the black-robed figure cried in fear.

“I don’t care, I don’t care!” Hao Meili shouted, her curses and plagues intensifying.

Another black-robed figure faced Mr. Corpse. This figure took out several puppet-like humanoid weapons. Mr. Corpse smiled faintly, leading him away from the South Heavenly Gate to battle elsewhere.

The war raged on, chaos spreading in all directions. Despite the disorder, Dazhen seemed to have the upper hand. The ten thousand demon beasts summoned by the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts appeared somewhat restrained.

High above, the black-robed figure who had been observing the battle removed his hood, revealing a handsome face. He coldly watched the scene below.

Suddenly, he took out a black crystal core, intricately cut like a beautiful black diamond.

Yi Yan and the others had been keeping an eye on him. When he took out the black crystal core, they frowned.

“What is that?” Yi Yan asked.

“I’m not sure, but I have a bad feeling about it,” Tianlao said, frowning.

“Oh?” The others looked at Tianlao.

“In some ancient knowledge passed down to me, there’s mention of something similar. It’s called a ‘Heavenly Demon Core,’ formed from the condensed aura of the Heavenly Demon Domain in the Great Thousand World. It has thirty-six thousand facets and contains numerous Heavenly Demons of various levels. There are people in the Great Thousand World who specialize in dealing with Heavenly Demons, controlling them with secret techniques. Could that be a Heavenly Demon Core?” Tianlao said, shocked.

“How many demons could it contain?” Yi Yan asked, frowning.

“I’m not sure, but likely a lot,” Tianlao replied.

“Everyone, be on guard and prepare for the demons!” Yi Yan ordered immediately.

The black-robed figure in the sky began chanting an incantation. The black crystal core glowed ominously, and cracks began to form on its surface. A dark, swirling mist emerged, filled with malevolent energy.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and some immediately sat cross-legged, preparing for the impending arrival of the Heavenly Demons.

“Clay Bodhisattva, please relay this message to all of Dazhen’s defenders,” Yi Yan instructed.

The Clay Bodhisattva nodded and set to work. Yôur f𝒂vorite stories on 𝒏/o/(v)𝒆/lb𝒊n(.)c𝒐m

High above, the black-robed figure was now completely enveloped in black Qi, using it as a means to resist the influence of the Heavenly Demons. Chanting continuously, his eyes turned completely white, enabling him to see the emerging demons clearly.

“Go, wreak havoc among the wolves, tigers, phoenixes, Xuanwu, dragons, and humans!” the black-robed figure said excitedly.

Soon enough, some phoenixes and Xuanwu began acting erratically. They either stopped fighting or went berserk, allowing the demon beasts to slaughter them.

The tide of battle shifted suddenly.

In front of the Hall of Longevity, the empresses and crown princes watched the sky, waiting for Zhong Shan’s ascension. Among them was a palace-dressed woman, who also gazed at Zhong Shan. She was Phantom Consort, though invisible to others and unheard even if she shouted Zhong Shan’s name.

Watching the sky, Phantom Consort’s eyes filled with blessings for her only friend. Suddenly, her expression changed, and she turned towards the south.

Seeing something, she smiled with joy and swiftly flew towards the South Heavenly Gate.

Outside the South Heavenly Gate, Dazhen’s divine beasts were being pushed back, with the demon beasts gaining the upper hand. Dazhen’s beasts seemed to be in a state of frenzy.

“Kill——!”

The battlefield echoed with shouts.

“This can’t go on!” Shui Wuhen frowned.

“General Zhao Suoxiang!” Yi Yan suddenly called.

Zhao Suoxiang, who was engaged with the demon beasts, immediately flew over.

“Mr. Yi?” Zhao Suoxiang asked, puzzled.

“That man is the culprit. Please lead your troops to kill him. If he falls, we will win!” Yi Yan said.

Zhao Suoxiang looked at the black-robed figure in the sky.

“Understood!” Zhao Suoxiang nodded.

“Iron Spear Battalion, follow me!” Zhao Suoxiang commanded, shooting towards the sky.

A group of elite soldiers, breaking away from their current battles, followed Zhao Suoxiang.

Zhao Suoxiang soon reached the high altitude.

“I am Zhao Suoxiang of Dazhen. Who are you?” Zhao Suoxiang demanded, pointing his spear.

“I am the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect…” the black-robed figure began to say, but was interrupted as the Heavenly Demon Core suddenly disappeared from his hand. Startled, he looked around and saw a black shadow speeding towards Lingxiao Heavenly Court. It moved too fast, reaching the edge in an instant.

It was Phantom Consort. Upon seeing the Heavenly Demon Core, she had swallowed it but couldn’t digest it immediately.

As she reached Lingxiao Heavenly Court, she let out a sharp cry. The numerous demons that had possessed Dazhen’s divine beasts quickly abandoned them and flew towards her.

“Thieves! You scoundrels!” the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect shouted in fury, his body flickering as he tried to chase the black shadow.

“Iron Spear Formation!” Zhao Suoxiang shouted.

“Roar——!”

The Iron Spear Battalion’s warriors roared in unison, forming a battle formation to intercept the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

The leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect found himself blocked by the formidable Iron Spear Battalion. Meanwhile, the freed divine beasts of Dazhen began to regain their composure, turning the tide of battle once more in favor of Dazhen. The conflict raged on with renewed vigor as both sides fought fiercely for control of Lingxiao Heavenly Court.
