Immortal of the Ages

Chapter 305: Slay the Invaders, Defend Our Homeland!

After a tumultuous battle, the once tranquil cave had crumbled into ruins. In the depths of the valley, trees lay shattered, wildfires raged, and the land was scarred with pits and cracks, presenting a scene of utter devastation.

Nearly all the surrounding mountains had been leveled, their surfaces scarred with the remnants of sword strikes and the destructive marks of daoist spells.

"The Lion Duke has returned!"

"And Supreme Adjudicator Gongyang too"

As the fight ceased, a group of devils and Inscription Cultivators gathered, turning their eyes northward.

Four figures approached through the night, materializing before their eyes.

All gazes immediately fixed on the object in Gongyang Sheng's grasptwo severed heads, their long hair disheveled, soaked in blood, their features indiscernible...

Yet everyone, humans and devils alike, knew these to be the heads of Ku Qinglian and Feng Xuxu, two women of exceptional talent and beauty, now fallen victims to the ruthless strife of the Immortal path.

They fought two against four and perished, a reasonable outcome under the circumstances. Yet, it was clear that Gongyang Sheng and the two elder devils bore sword wounds, especially Gongyang Sheng, who had a piercing sword cut near his Dantian. He had been applying external and internal medicines to stop the bleeding and suppress the icy sword energy within, but his complexion remained unnaturally pale.

"You failed to catch Exile Ling?" The War Princess frowned in dissatisfaction.

"He used some crafty tricks. Drew a circle in the void and just vanished into thin air," the Lion Duke grumbled.

"He escaped?"

The group of Inscription Cultivators felt like they had been doused in cold water. They knew that even if they killed every Sword Cultivator, without the heads of the two Exiled Sword Immortals, their own survival was uncertain.

"It's fine. All of Ling Chen's supporters are dead. He's alone now and will soon meet his end," they consoled themselves.

"Have all the other Sword Cultivators here been dealt with?" the Lion Duke asked gravely.

"Yes!" The crowd parted to reveal a pile of over twenty heads behind them, each set of eyes wide open in death, unwilling to close.

These Sword Cultivators had perished here, decimating the middle-aged and younger generations of the Sword Ruins' prominent families like the Ku, Feng, Yun, Shuang, and Sikong. What remained now were mostly Dao Heart Realm cultivators, aside from a few old ancestors.

"How are our losses?" Gongyang Sheng asked.

The Sword Cultivators fought to the death in a counterattack, causing some casualties. A few died, and the rest suffered minor injuries, an Inscription Cultivator reported.

This was the toll on the Inscription Cultivators' side. The devils, however, remained silent, seemingly having suffered fewer losses.

"Three times our number, and we still lost a few?" Gongyang Sheng glanced at the Lion Duke, understanding all too well. These devils had likely prioritized their own survival, not fighting with full force.

Even so, Gongyang Sheng couldnt do much about it. After all, the devils werent exactly known for their nobility or self-sacrifice!

"What's our next move, Lion Duke?" Gongyang Sheng asked gravely.

"The two Exiled Sword Immortals are down to one with any real power. We can head straight to the entrance of the Eternal Sword Prison, locate their stronghold, gauge their strength, and wipe them out in one fell swoop! We might also intercept Exile Ling before he can flee back to the Sword Ruins," the Lion Duke proposed.

No objections came from either the devils or the Inscription Cultivators.

After all, capturing Ku Qinglian and her ilk, those dogs of Ling Chen, made their alliance's chances of victory all the more promising!

Huh?

Just then, their brows furrowed as they surveyed their surroundings.

Between the mountains and valleys, countless demons emerged! Transforming into their true forms, their crimson eyes glaring, they almost formed a sea of darkness, having sealed off the surroundings.

In truth, these Inscription Cultivators and devils had noticed the stir among the demons of the Demon Continent earlier, but these lesser demons, to them, were as weak as tofu and not worth their attention.

But now, not only was the ground swarming with demons, but the skies were also filled with countless winged demons, merging into a massive, dark cloud that engulfed both the devils and the Inscription Cultivators!

Looking around, the area was surrounded by fierce demons, droves upon droves, easily numbering in the tens of millions.

And whats more, they all possessed at least the strength of the Demon Meridian Realm!

"Have these beasts lost their minds?" the Lion Duke exclaimed incredulously.

"They probably have no concept of the Fate Ocean Realm," Gongyang Sheng said coldly.

"Let alone the Fate Ocean Realm, these wretched creatures probably dont even grasp the Dao Heart Realm. What gave them the gall to act so boldly above us?"

To them, this situation was almost comical, like being surrounded by a bunch of mice.

Seems like they want to take advantage of our post-battle weakness and wipe us out in one go?

Hahaha

Both the devils and the Inscription Cultivators couldnt help but laugh.

The path to immortality is a long, unending ladder. Its indeed amusing to see these frogs in the well and mice with short sight."

"Just a single daoist spell to scare them off, crush a few thousand corpses, and theyll know its time to run. Speaking, one of the Inscription Cultivators conjured up his Life Sigl, summoning a 300-meter-long violet thunderbolt that fiercely struck the sky!

BOOM! The lightning thundered across, instantly blasting thousands of demons into smithereens, raining blood from the heavens!

Yet, to their astonishment, this did not intimidate the horde. Instead, the demons roared and howled with even greater fury, their eyes ablaze with wrath, not a hint of fear in sight.

They seemed to have found a cause to rally behind!

"What's going on here?" The Inscription Cultivator who had launched the attack was dumbfounded. How did this not scare off these beasts?

Before he could finish his thought, a white figure suddenly appeared before him!

"Who's this?!" He barely got the words out when the silver-haired youth struck his forehead with a palm.

POOF! The Inscription Cultivator's head exploded on impact! Dead without a scream.

The white shadow flashed past, soaring into the clouds.

"What was that?" A chill ran down the spines of the Lion Duke, Gongyang Sheng, and others.

Someone had casually strolled into their midst, effortlessly killed a Late Fate Ocean Realm Inscription Cultivator, and vanished in a blink. To pull this off, one had to be at least at the Establishment Fate Ocean Realm!

Shock filled their hearts as dozens of them looked up at the silver-haired figure amidst the roaring demons.

There, amidst the howling demons, stood a silver-haired being, hovering in the air. His long robe billowing, his features devilishly androgynous. The fluffy fox ears and four long, robust fox tails revealed his demonic nature!

"How can there be such a powerful demon in this forsaken place?"

All the Inscription Cultivators and devils changed color.

With only two entrances to the Devil Continent, neither the Endless Netherworld nor the Eternal Sword Prison would allow demons from the Nine Hells to enter!

"It's alright" the Lion Duke reassured everyone, then addressed the silver fox demon youth, "Never did we imagine that the Demon Continent harbored such a young and formidable top-tier demon like yourself. Our apologies for the oversight! It seems we have some misunderstandings. Could we perhaps lay down arms and discuss this further?"

Sensing something amiss, he set aside his contempt and proceeded with caution.

"You foreign devils, arrogant and cruel, blatantly invading our homeland and slaughtering our kin. Your crimes are unforgivable, and there's no room for negotiation. Only with your blood can we avenge our brethren and deter those behind you, driving you out for good!"

The youth's voice was cold, not loud, but enough to drive the 70 million demon army into a frenzy.

"A mere beast, so brazen?" Gongyang Sheng cast a cold glance at the fox, then whispered to the Lion Duke, "This demon is somewhat peculiar. With the world changing so drastically, if this demon possesses exceptional talent and joins forces with the demons of the Nine Hells, it could spell disaster. Why not seize this opportunity to eliminate him?"

"Good point!" The Lion Duke nodded, though his eyes still flickered with uncertainty.

At that moment, in full view of the demon army, the fox tore apart the corpse of the fallen Inscription Cultivator!

SPLATTER! Blood and flesh rained down, inciting the millions of demons into a frenzy, their battle spirit soaring to new heights.

"Emperor, just how powerful are these opponents?" the Saint Ape asked from behind, his brow furrowed, a trace of unease in his voice.

"I can kill one in an instant, what do you think?" Moon Fairy sneered coldly. "Don't worry! Our 70 million brothers are more than enough to tear them to shreds."

"Yes!" Although the Burning Saint didn't fully grasp the strength of these people from the Nine Hells, he trusted Moon Fairy.

"After we deal with them and take their treasures, I will lead our brothers in a counterattack against the Divine Continent, exterminate the human race, and dominate the world!" Moon Fairy declared menacingly.

Hearing this, the multitude of fierce demons, their resentment from the battle in the heavens erupting, grew even more ferocious, eager to invade the Divine Continent, destroy the heavens, and drench the world in blood.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Even with the demise of the five great Demon Emperors, these millions of demons, the true force of the Demon Continent, had never abandoned their ambition to invade and avenge themselves against the human race.

The Demon Emperors may die, but their spirit endured!

Before the demon horde, Moon Fairy suddenly transformed into a Four-Tailed Demon Fox! Shrouded in an illusory haze, now a mythical demon of legend, his demonic aura alone was enough to incite millions of fierce demons into a frenzy.

"Annihilate the foreign races, reclaim our lands!" Under Moon Fairy's roar, the world trembled, and the gathered demon army, carrying a sacred mission, forgot life and death, and charged towards the Inscription Cultivators and devils!

"They're really coming?" The Lion Duke and Gongyang Sheng, among others, felt a sense of absurdity.

The brutality of these demons also ignited their rage.

The human and the devil exchanged a glance.

"No choice, fight our way out?" Gongyang Sheng suggested.

"Yes! But the best strategy is to cut off the head of the snake. I'll locate that fox," the Lion Duke declared coldly.

"Much appreciated, Lion Duke!"

All hailing from the Nine Hells, their spirits were naturally far more exalted!

Just the Eternal Sword Prison was ten times the size of the Divine Continent, so they had certainly seen their share of the world. An army of 70 million demons might sound like a lot, but in terms of power, it was like slicing through tofu for them!

Tiring, yes, but hardly deadly!

"Let's band together and break out!"

Faced with the onslaught of the demon army, their response was swift. Before the myriad demon magics could descend, nearly a hundred devils and Inscription Cultivators gathered together!

BOOM! Life Sigils expanded immensely, forming a massive hemispherical shield, safeguarding every man and devil within!

This shield was also a meat grinder!

Adorned with countless inscriptions, it generated storms of wind, fire, water, and earth. The power of these Fate Ocean Realm sigils easily neutralized the demon magics.

Any demon that dared collide with it was instantly ground into blood and dust!

BANG BANG BANG! Wherever the shield went, it was like a merciless meat grinder, with countless demons perishing instantly, rivers of blood flowing in moments. But the demons in the rear, unable to see the carnage at the front, continued to charge forward relentlessly!

"We defend, you attack!" Gongyang Sheng told the surrounding devils.

"No problem!"

And so, using the sigils as a shield and blood arts as a spear, they formed a moving sphere of blood across the Demon Continent, leaving a trail of blood and bodies in their wake!

From the outset, they taught these demons the true terror of the Fate Ocean Realm!

"Kill! Kill!"

However, the strongest trait in these low-intelligence, savage demons was their lack of fear towards death. They continued to hurl their bodies forward, depleting the enemy's stamina and sacred power!

"Too weak."

"The bodies of these demons are as soft as tofu. Do they really think they can overwhelm us with mere numbers?"

"This fold world is indeed too barren. Without the power of desolation, the demon race struggles to thrive."

At this moment, both the devils and Inscription Cultivators were quite at ease. They moved while casually chatting and smiling, as if strolling through a marketplace, effortlessly crushing groups of ants.

The demon army marched to their deaths, dying en masse!

"Didn't our Emperor say these foreign races were nothing special?"

Within the demon horde, the Ape Saint watched the massive sacrifice of the demons, his heart bleeding, eyes blazing red.

As a Demon Saint Realm being, experiencing the terror of these opponents up close was a whole different ordeal! He was certain that even if he were to crash into one of these Life Sigils, he'd be vaporized instantly!

"Moon Fairy" The Ape Saint's heart trembled as he searched for his position.

Just then, from the heavens above, a silver streak of light suddenly descended, shining brilliantly, like a meteor falling from the sky!

In an instant, it was like a heavenly sword, violently striking the hemispherical shield made of Life Sigils!

BOOM! The spherical shield burst apart, turning into flying sigils!

The nearly hundred devils and Inscription Cultivators were blown away, scattering like droplets of water.

The silver light hit the ground, causing the earth to split open with hundreds of web-like cracks, rocks exploding into dust and flying into the sky, the battlefield within a hundred miles trembling and shaking!

Under this shocking scene, the tens of millions of demons, just starting to feel a bit of fear, roared into madness once again, their murderous intent skyrocketing!

Seizing this opportunity, they chanted the name of Moon Fairy and moved like a torrent rushing towards the Inscription Cultivators and devils, completely isolating them.

Every devil and Inscription Cultivator was instantly engulfed in a vast sea of demons, being swept in all directions!
