Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As an endless number of Heavenly Demons plummeted into the Thousand Sword City, this city transformed into a land of terror and danger.
Rumble…
A bloody glow hung above the Thousand Sword City.
With each streak of red light, a Heavenly Demon would be obliterated into a puddle of inky-black water.
"The Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Cassidy has already arrived at her station."
"Tobias has arrived at his station!"
"Merlin has arrived at his station!"
The three most powerful beings of the Blood Pavilion were unstoppable as they killed Heavenly Demon after Heavenly Demon.
Once viewed as mortal enemies of humans, these supreme beings of the Blood Tribe had now become guardians who were wading through water and fire to protect humans!
Meanwhile, the imperial palace of the Thousand Sword City had already become the focus of the Heavenly Demons.
This was because the Heavenly Demons were more inclined toward killing cultivators who possessed a powerful cultivation base. Right now, hundreds upon thousands of Heavenly Demons had already arrived inside the imperial palace. In fact, they had already breached the defensive spell formation of the imperial palace.
The cultivators were fighting to the death against the Heavenly Demons.
As one of the Nine Imperials, the Thousand Sword Imperial Family was naturally extremely powerful. However, the Heavenly Demons were far too ferocious, and they were also near-infinite in number. Thus, the defenses of the Thousand Sword Imperial Family started to slowly crumble.
"Damn it! How are there so many monsters? When are they going to stop appearing?" the emperor of the Thousand Sword Imperial Family exclaimed. He used his sword to summon a green wave that measured ten thousand feet in height, instantly killing all of the Heavenly Demons that were lunging over. However, before he could even catch a breath, a huge number of Heavenly Demons had already lunged over again!
"Emperor, should we battle or flee?!" a divine general shouted frantically as he ran toward the most powerful man in disarray. In a moment of absent-mindedness, one of his arms had been brutally severed by a Heavenly Demon.
"Flee? Where can we flee?" the Thousand Sword Emperor asked as he gazed at the relentless waves of terrifying Heavenly Demons. His voice was grave, and he continued, "Right now, there’s already no path of retreat! Our only option is to battle to the death! This is for the sake of the human race, and it’s also for the sake of ourselves!"
"Battle to the death!"
"Death before dishonor!"
The members of the Thousand Sword Imperial Family all roared with firm determination.
Spell techniques continued to explode, and weapons and razor-sharp claws continued to clash. Sanguine red blood and inky black blood sprayed through the air, painting a picture of misery and tragedy inside the imperial palace!
It could be said that the Thousand Sword Imperial Family had attracted more than half of all of the Heavenly Demons. They had already become the final fortress of the Thousand Sword City…
Just as countless Heavenly Demons landed, and just as the Thousand Sword Imperial Family was plunged into despair, three lithe and graceful figures suddenly appeared above the imperial palace.
"Four Nine Immortal Sect, Ada."
"Jin Ling."
"Jin Yao…"
"We’ve already arrived at our station!"
A gigantic golden array formation suddenly materialized in the sky, releasing a vast and boundless power of blood as well as a power of souls that instantly annihilated the hundreds of Heavenly Demons in the surroundings!
The Thousand Sword Imperial Family was elated upon seeing this.
"It’s them! The three Golden Guardians from the Blood Tribe of the Four Nine Immortal Sect!"
"When they use their unique array formation to combine their powers, these triplets can even rival the power of Dao Integration Stage super-mighty beings!"
"This is great! We finally have Dao Integration Stage super-mighty beings to help us…"
Some members
In their eyes, these three beautiful beings of the Blood Tribe were like saviors of the world!
Meanwhile, in the neighboring Heavenly Water City.
A white dog that was enveloped in a barrier of divine wind was furiously lunging and gnashing at the Heavenly Demons. This dog would fly wherever the Heavenly Demons landed, and he would directly open his large mouth to chomp down at them. It was as if he were chasing after drumsticks that were falling from the sky.
"Pavilion Lord Da Bai, is it truly fine for you to eat them like that?" an accompanying disciple from the Four Nine Immortal Sect asked. He was numb with fear and apprehension upon seeing Da Bai’s actions.
"There’s no problem at all, woof! They’re quite sweet and glutinous. Do you want to try one? Woof!" Da Bai happily wagged his large tail.
"Barf…" One of the accompanying female disciples couldn’t help but retch.
She truly couldn’t understand why Da Bai was the favorite steed of the magnificent and glorious Sect Leader An Lin!
Elsewhere, a beautiful and gentle woman who was dressed in colorful garb was tossing some kind of powder into the air. Any Heavenly Demon who came into contact with this powder would be instantly transformed into a puddle of inky black water. There were no exceptions.
This woman was none other than An Lin’s pet beast Little Gu.
She could be considered as the most normal-looking member of An Lin’s pet beasts.
"Da Bai, if you get food poisoning during this dangerous time, no one will have time to help you," Little Gu said in a gentle voice.
"Hahaha, no worries! I can eat them regardless of what kind of Heavenly Demon they are, woof!" Da Bai was brimming with confidence.
Xiao Chou pointed at the Dragon Bone Heavenly Demon that had suddenly appeared in the distant Thousand Sword City, and he asked, "Can you eat that Heavenly Demon too?"
This was a Heavenly Demon that measured hundreds of thousands of feet in length.
Da Bai shuddered upon glancing at the pitch-black Heavenly Demon that radiated with a power of destruction, and he didn’t dare to answer Xiao Chou’s question. This wasn’t an existence that he could face!
Meanwhile, in the Thousand Sword City, death and destruction started to descend.
This was the most magnificent and grand city of the Spirit Sword State.
However, a colossal Heavenly Demon had appeared here. This was a Heavenly Demon that was so colossal that mortal humans couldn’t see from its head to its tail. This Heavenly Demon possessed a dragon-like exterior, yet its interior was pitch-black like ink. There were nine claws on each of its two feet, and as the Heavenly Demon extended them, these claws were like razor-sharp heavenly blades. As it lightly dragged its claws across the sky, several abyss-like ravines were instantly gorged into the city…
The residents who had just calmed down thanks to the reinforcement of the Four Nine Immortal Sect were plunged into fear and despair again.
Several sword cultivators dashed into the sky, unleashing bursts of powerful sword intents at the terrifying Heavenly Demon.
However, these sword intents were merely able to cause deafening clangs to ring through the sky. They were completely unable to scathe the Heavenly Demon.
The Heavenly Demon suddenly widened its maws at this moment, and its tail pierced through the air and stabbed into a Return to Void Stage supreme being.
Just the devastating aura of the Heavenly Demon alone made the supreme being feel as if he had fallen into an icy cavern. He was completely unable to move and resist!
This strike was far too quick, and the Heavenly Demon’s aura was also far too devastating. As a result, the minds of the remaining Return to Void Stage supreme beings instantly became blank.
At this moment, a blue domain suddenly spread through heaven and earth.
An extreme cold descended into the world.
A woman who was wielding the Great Ice Sword strode across the void and walked over from the distance. She then slashed her sword at the tail of the Heavenly Demon.
Boom!
An overwhelmingly powerful sword intent erupted into the surroundings.
However, like a power of the Heavenly Dao that weighed hundreds of millions of pounds, the bony tail of the Heavenly Demon continued to sweep forward, forcing the woman and her sword to continuously retreat!
The woman roared softly, and she didn’t show any signs of fear. Instead, her sword intent became even more powerful.
"Thick Frost Heavenly Strike!"
The Great Ice Sword swung through the air, unleashing a burst of icy aura that spread hundreds of kilometers into the distance.
The Dragon Bone Heavenly Demon wailed in anguish as its bony tail was hacked off and sent flying into the air.
The cultivators of the Spirit Sword State were stunned upon seeing this. As the most powerful beings of the Spirit Sword State, they had never witnessed such a transcendent and magnificent sword intent before.
"The Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Liu Qianhuan has arrived at her station!" she raised her chin and said in an aloof voice. Her blue dress billowed in the wind, and her sword was like a stretch of snow.
The cultivators finally came to a realization. As it turned out, she was Liu Qianhuan, the renowned pavilion lord of the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Sword Pavilion!
"Roar!"
The Dragon Bone Heavenly Demon was wild with rage upon being wounded by Liu Qianhuan.
A formidable aura that could rival that of super-mighty beings at the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage instantly surged through the air, yearning to collapse the magnificent city beneath it. In fact, even Liu Qianhuan struggled to withstand this devastating aura!
At this moment, a giant sun suddenly appeared in the sky, tearing through the inky black darkness.
Rays of brilliant light illuminated the world, making it appear as bright as day.
Along with it, a pleasant and sweet voice that was filled with emotion sounded in everyone’s ears.
"Praise the sun!"
