Chapter 1762 - 10: Mingyue in the Sky
If within the Sky Dome Heaven everything was still peaceful, with brilliant street lights and the sound of reading aloud, outside its borders, the seven mighty passes and Heavenly River City were already completely engulfed in blood and fire.Ever since Luohu refined the Heart of the Demon Holy, the remaining Holy Demon Clan, who had previously stayed put, finally decided not to just sit on the sidelines.
Without any consultation, they all tacitly deployed their forces and began to enter the stage.
Perhaps they realized the outcome was already determined and hurried to take a stance, lest Luohu settle accounts after achieving the status of Demon Holy, or perhaps they were just eager to join the fray to claim a share of the spoils.
In any case, after the great victory at Guangling Pass, the counterattack of the Demon Race followed immediately and came in full force.
The second great war between Taoism and Demons finally officially commenced.
The situation of being besieged in various regions also resulted in Guangling Pass being unable to further expand its victories.
This is because cultivators from various regions needed to return to their territories as quickly as possible.
This time, the counterattack by the Demon Race was exceptionally ferocious.
—This time, all Demon Races from across all regions were deployed together, so they no longer had to worry about the backfield, focusing solely on the front line, and could devote all their efforts to it.
The overwhelming Demon Army swept in like a plague of locusts.
Demonic Qi rose to the skies, as if it intended to remake heaven and earth.
The originally blue sky was now shrouded in thick demonic clouds.
Occasionally, sunlight pierced through the demonic clouds and shone on the ground, yet it was a dark, oppressive magical light that made one feel an immense pressure.
Facing the full assault of the Demon Race, the Human Race, which had prepared for twenty thousand years, unleashed astonishing energy.
In just a single month, the area in front of the city walls of the seven mighty passes and Heavenly River City turned into a massive meat grinder.
For this inevitable war, the Human Race prepared many things, including but not limited to high-power talismans, disposable magical treasures, and large war artifacts...
The Demon Race was equally prepared.
........
Outside Yanlan Pass, the Giant Spirit Demon Clan's military camp stretched for thousands of miles, with thirty-six towering stone pillars rising at the center.
On the stone pillars, green demon vines coiled around.
Subsequently, ghostly green demonic qi rolled out from the stone pillars, rising up into the sky, twisting and transforming, finally forming a lifelike statue of a Demon God.
Neither human nor beast, its form towering tens of thousands of feet, with a massive head sporting only one eye, wielding a Heavenly Great Rod, exuding a fierce aura.
Magical light shimmered, weaving a fantastic and bizarre scene.
The symbol of the Giant Spirit Demon Clan, The Immortal of Colossal Spirit.
The Demon Lord of the Giant Spirit Clan hovered before the statue of The Immortal of Colossal Spirit, grinning ferociously, "The Giant Spirit Demon God has emerged; who dares to block our clan?"
"The Immortal of Colossal Spirit!"
"The Immortal of Colossal Spirit!"
The Demon Army roared like a boiling cauldron; countless demonic cultivators gazed at the towering statue of The Immortal of Colossal Spirit, their eyes bloodshot with madness and frenzy, fervently chanting the name of The Immortal of Colossal Spirit.
This seemed to be more than just a name but a spell that could grant them infinite strength.
With tens of thousands shouting, it already sounded like a mountain collapse or a tsunami, and at this moment, millions and millions of demonic cultivators shouting made it seem as if the heavens and earth were shattering.
The cultivators at Yanlan Pass, though more resolute than ordinary people, couldn't help but tremble inside under the soul-stirring chanting, feeling a great terror.
In the next moment, under the waves of cheers from the demonic cultivators, the Giant Spirit Demon God broke out of the range of the thirty-six stone pillars, its solitary eye wide open, swinging the Heavenly Great Rod towards the city walls of Yanlan Pass, shielded by formations of spiritual light.
A massive shadow covered Yanlan Pass.
The faces of the Yanlan Pass cultivators changed drastically, feeling an oppressive sense that Yanlan Pass would be breached at any moment, and they hurriedly marshaled mana to defend.
Brilliant spells shot up into the sky, blasting towards the colossal statue of The Immortal of Colossal Spirit.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
However, the image of The Immortal of Colossal Spirit before them radiated infinite strength, as if the Demon God itself had descended.
All spells burned in the magical light emanating from The Immortal of Colossal Spirit, turning to ash, and then The Immortal of Colossal Spirit continued advancing, already pressing towards Yanlan Pass.
All the cultivators at Yanlan Pass looked up at the shadow, their hearts trembling. If this weren't a war between races, the statue of The Immortal of Colossal Spirit could have crushed one side's morale in an instant.
But precisely because this war was different in nature, in the face of this boundless terror, the human cultivators instead found a willingness to face death amidst the mortal threat.
On the city walls, all cultivators exerted themselves to their utmost, unleashing their most skilled spells, their strongest magical treasures, and their most secret methods, sparing no effort.
At some point, a cannon-like artifact appeared on the walls of Yanlan Pass, its entire body crystalline and azure, colossal beyond measure.
This was one of the foundations Yanlan Pass had prepared for this war, a large-scale war artifact inspired by mundane cannons with the quality of a Quasi-Daoist Artifact, Central Heaven Spiritual Weapon!
The Central Heaven Spiritual Weapon possessed terrifying power but also consumed resources at an alarming rate. Every blast consumed the annual wealth of a large city, to be used only in the direst of situations.
Evidently, now was such a time.
"Fire!"
With an angry roar, in an instant, a massive beam of light surged forth, crashing heavily onto the head of The Immortal of Colossal Spirit.
In that instant, dazzling spiritual and magical lights crisscrossed the sky, fracturing and dissipating together.
The brilliant light even completely engulfed the enormous form of The Immortal of Colossal Spirit.
In addition to the attacks from the Yanlan Pass cultivators, even if The Immortal of Colossal Spirit, with its awe-inspiring might, its body involuntarily tilted backward, collapsing heavily onto the ground.
