20demayo Chapter 2005 Massacre
Chapter 2005 Massacre
Chapter 2005 Massacre
The immense and overwhelming pressure of the array, like a tangible dome, descended with a thunderous roar, completely enveloping and sealing off the entire deep canyon.
They were cautious enough!
Upon sensing the abnormal fluctuations of the primordial lotus seed emanating from the late-stage fifteenth-level green-robed cultivator, they immediately chose to flee thousands of miles away without hesitation.
But why couldn't they escape?
When exactly was this formation set up? How could it have enveloped this entire area so silently and so quickly?
"Join forces to break the formation!"
The leader, Dou Mingxuan, a fifteenth-level ultimate demonic cultivator, was a veteran of countless battles. After a brief moment of shock, he let out a hoarse yet sharp shout.
"Attack one point and break through the array barrier!" another fifteenth-level ultimate demon cultivator, Bahanwen, immediately responded.
"Yes!" The eyes of the other six demonic cultivators instantly flashed with a crazed light.
"Boom!"
Eight attacks, each a different color but all containing terrifying destructive power, roared like a burst dam, striking the array's light barrier from different angles with the same goal.
A massive surge of energy swept across the area, its power terrifying beyond measure. This was a furious attack from eight level 15 demonic cultivators, its force enough to easily destroy an ordinary plane.
At the edge of the formation, Zheng Hongtao and Le Boyang's figures quietly appeared.
Zheng Hongtao remained calm as he watched the eight raging torrents of attack rush towards the array wall.
He had already refined the secondary array pivot dragon pearl and established a mysterious connection with this interconnected array, so he naturally perceived the immense power contained within the array more clearly than others.
The combined attack of these eight demonic cultivators was indeed fierce, but it was not enough to shake this war fortress that had been reinforced multiple times and whose rules were constantly cycling.
It's still a long way off!
If he were to act rashly at this moment, not only would it be unnecessary, but it would also make him appear eager to claim credit and share the spoils, needlessly creating discord among others.
Observing and waiting is the best option.
Le Boyang, standing to the side, wore a calm expression.
He had personally witnessed this interconnected array, including five level 15 ultimate demonic cultivators, including a Foundation Establishment Earth cultivator.
Now, this great formation has successfully nested multiple other great formations, making it even more powerful. These eight demonic cultivators in front of us want to break the formation? It's like an ant trying to shake a tree!
"Chichichi..."
Eight torrents of raging demonic energy crashed into the ever-flowing array light barrier.
However, the expected earth-shattering explosion and the shattering of the light barrier did not occur.
Just as the attack was about to strike, the layer of five-colored light on the surface of the array suddenly lit up. Gold, cyan, blue, red, and yellow flashed alternately, forming a magnificent and tough barrier, which was the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light.
The divine light, containing the Daoist essence that could annihilate all things, collided violently with the eight torrents of demonic energy.
There was no loud noise, only the harsh sound of millions of files rubbing and grinding.
The seemingly boundless torrent of demonic energy began to melt and annihilate at a visible speed the moment it came into contact with the Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light.
The torrent of demonic energy surged forward, but with each step it advanced, its power was weakened.
When the last remaining trace of demonic energy finally managed to penetrate the barrier of the Five Elements Divine Light and truly touch the solid inner array wall, it was already at its last gasp, with less than one-tenth of its power remaining.
"Boom!"
A slightly muffled impact sound rang out, and the thick array wall rippled slightly, like a boulder thrown into a deep pool. After shaking a few times, it quickly returned to calm.
"How can it be……"
Dou Mingxuan, Ba Hanwen, and the other eight demonic cultivators watched helplessly as their combined attack, which they had poured all their strength into, failed to even break through the opponent's array defense. The light barrier only trembled a few times, and everyone's face turned deathly pale.
A bone-chilling coldness shot from their tailbone straight to the top of their head, as if freezing the blood in their entire body.
Sensing the overwhelming power of the formation and personally experiencing its absolute defense are two completely different feelings.
The former might make people wary and uneasy, but the latter... brings utter and suffocating despair.
They finally experienced firsthand just how terrifying the power of the complex array that trapped them truly was.
"Burn your very essence, or we will all perish here today!"
Dou Mingxuan's voice was completely distorted by extreme fear, becoming as sharp as the cry of a night owl. His eyes were bloodshot, and he dared not hold back in the slightest, taking the lead in igniting the primordial demonic energy he had painstakingly cultivated within his body.
"boom!"
A violent aura, far exceeding that before, erupted from his body, and demonic flames soared into the sky.
Bahanwen and the other six demonic cultivators realized they were facing a life-or-death situation, and they all let out desperate roars, burning their source energy without hesitation.
In an instant, eight fierce auras connected and merged into one, with raging demonic flames, seemingly about to break through the array's cage.
Just as their essence ignited, the light within the entire array space suddenly dimmed, as if it had instantly transformed from daytime into night.
A chilling, deathly power, imbued with the aura of star destruction and the end of all things, filled every inch of space without warning.
The eight demonic cultivators looked up in horror, only to see a colossal, pitted, and destructive phantom star tearing through the darkness and crashing down on them from the night sky conjured by the array.
The Heavenly Stars Fall to Earth Formation!
The enormous stars filled their entire field of vision, obscuring the sky and casting suffocating shadows.
Under its overwhelming and indescribable aura of destruction, Dou Mingxuan and the Eight Demons felt as if the space around them had been locked and frozen.
Their senses were forcibly distorted and compressed at this moment. It was as if only this ever-enlarging star remained in the entire world.
He could not hear any sound, could not see any other color, and even the presence of his companions became blurred.
This was not an illusion, but rather the terrifying power contained within this fallen star. Its force field and rules forcibly interfered with and overwhelmed their normal perception.
"Block it!"
Dou Mingxuan let out a heart-wrenching roar, no longer caring about attacking the array barrier. If they were hit by this star, they would all be instantly reduced to dust.
The eight attacks, their power amplified by the burning of their origin, hastily changed direction, transforming into a jet-black demonic pillar, like a dragon swimming upstream, fiercely confronting the falling star.
"boom!!"
The stars and the demonic pillars collided head-on.
A terrifying explosion, indescribable in its deafening sound, erupted instantly.
It was as if two enormous planes had collided, and a destructive energy shockwave spread wildly in all directions in a spherical shape, crashing heavily against the surrounding array light walls, causing the entire array to flicker.
"puff!"
The first to be hit were the two weakest mid-stage fifteenth-level demonic cultivators.
Their all-out demonic energy was crushed the moment it touched the stars. The terrifying power passed right through their bodies, and the two of them were as if they had been hit head-on by an ancient divine mountain. Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed out of their mouths.
Fine beads of blood seeped from every pore on his body, turning him into a blood-soaked figure instantly. His body was covered with spiderweb-like cracks as he screamed and flew backward, crashing heavily onto the ground behind him.
The four late-stage fifteenth-level demonic cultivators were in slightly better condition, but they were still struck as if by lightning. Their bodies trembled violently, their demonic energy was disordered, and blood spilled from the corners of their mouths. Clearly, their internal organs had suffered serious injuries, and their aura instantly weakened.
Only Dou Mingxuan and Ba Hanwen, both at the peak of the fifteenth level, managed to stabilize themselves with the powerful force gained from burning their source energy. However, their faces were flushed, their blood was churning, and their eyes were filled with fear.
If they hadn't reacted quickly and burned their source energy in advance, they probably would have been injured by that attack.
"It's blocked! Quick, break through now..." Ba Hanwen suppressed the metallic taste in his throat and shouted hoarsely, trying to remind Dou Mingxuan to seize this brief opening and attack the array wall again.
However, before he could finish speaking, his words were abruptly cut off as if gripped by an invisible hand.
Behind the star that they had just defeated, which had vanished into a sky full of streaks of light, three more star phantoms, equally enormous and shrouded in an aura of destruction, quietly reappeared.
At the same time, the deep, dark void began to surge and twist violently, and countless points of starlight appeared, like a destructive star shower about to pour down.
Endless, this attack is truly endless!
"The six of you must stop these stars at all costs, even for a moment! Brother Ba, follow me to break the formation, this is our only chance!"
Dou Mingxuan's eyes trembled violently. He knew that they could not continue to passively take the beating, otherwise they would all die when the next wave of stars fell.
“Alright.” Ba Hanwen instantly understood Dou Mingxuan’s intention. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and without hesitation, he once again gathered demonic energy, aiming directly at the array wall to his side.
The four injured late-stage fifteenth-level demonic cultivators and the two struggling mid-stage fifteenth-level demonic cultivators, upon hearing the order, showed despair and confusion on their faces, but their will to survive still overwhelmed everything.
"Form a six-way demonic barrier!"
One of them roared, and then a pitch-black barrier with twisted runes appeared overhead.
"boom!"
The next instant, the first star slammed into the Six Directions Barrier.
The barrier twisted violently, the light flashed wildly, and cracks spread across its surface in an instant, but it did not shatter immediately.
All six demonic cultivators coughed up blood, their bodies swaying precariously.
"boom!!"
A second star followed.
“Crack…bang!”
The barrier could no longer hold on, letting out a mournful cry of despair before exploding open with a deafening roar.
The terrifying impact sent the six demonic cultivators flying. The two already heavily injured mid-stage fifteenth-level demonic cultivators were the first to be hit, their demonic bodies disintegrating in mid-air and exploding into two thick clouds of blood mist, their bodies and souls annihilated.
The other four late-stage demonic cultivators were also further injured, crashing to the ground with screams, barely clinging to life.
Almost simultaneously with the Six Demons desperately resisting the stars, Dou Mingxuan and Ba Hanwen poured most of the power they gained from burning their origins into their respective killing moves.
A spear beam as condensed as a black drill, and a ghostly green ripple that corroded the void, carrying a resolute determination to tear everything apart, slammed fiercely forward.
This was their last hope, if only a small opening could be made...
"Boom!"
Just as the two attacks were about to touch the array wall, a towering stone giant, its body emanating chaotic energy, appeared out of thin air in front of the array wall, firmly blocking the two terrifying attacks.
"boom!"
A deafening explosion rang out, and the Chaos Stone Golem's incomparably hard body was shattered by the desperate attack of two level 15 ultimate demon cultivators who burned their life essence. Half of its chest and arm were blown apart, and debris flew everywhere.
Its massive body trembled violently, staggering backward, each step leaving deep cracks in the ground.
However, it ultimately managed to block it.
Despite Dou Mingxuan and Ba Hanwen's all-out attack, they ultimately failed to land on the array wall. All their power was completely neutralized by the suddenly appearing Chaos Stone Man in the most direct way.
Looking at the stone figure, damaged yet still standing and slowly repairing its body, and then at the third star about to fall in the sky and the endless sea of stars surging behind it...
The last trace of color drained from Dou Mingxuan and Ba Hanwen's faces, leaving only boundless despair and deathly silence in their eyes.
There's no escaping it... really... there's no escaping it!
"boom!"
"Boom!"
The symphony of destruction began its final note at this moment.
The falling stars, like the Milky Way bursting its banks or the apocalyptic punishment, crashed one after another into the area where Dou Mingxuan and Ba Hanwen were located.
The deafening explosions continued incessantly, as if the whole world was collapsing and shattering.
A terrifying energy storm, like a raging sea, raged and swept wildly within the array space.
The blinding light overwhelmed our vision, and the devastating shockwave even distorted space itself.
At first, one could still faintly hear the roars and howls of Dou Mingxuan and Ba Hanwen, their voices distorted and filled with fear of death.
But soon, the roar was drowned out by an even more violent energy explosion.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
The roar quickly subsided, turning into a mournful wail, and then vanished completely, returning to eternal silence.
As the last ripples of energy subsided and the light faded, only the pure yet deathly fragmented demonic energy remained.
All eight powerful demonic cultivators, at least at the mid-stage of the fifteenth rank, have been annihilated, leaving no trace of their bodies.
From the moment the eight demons were suddenly trapped by the linked array to the moment the Zhou Tian stars fell to earth and annihilated the eight demons one by one with overwhelming force, the entire process took only a dozen breaths.
It was so brief it was heart-stopping.
At the edge of the formation, Le Boyang calmly watched the carnage unfold before him.
It wasn't that Le Boyang thought these eight demonic cultivators were weak, but rather that he had already witnessed far more shocking scenes.
Zheng Hongtao, on the other hand, had a completely different state of mind.
Although he had already refined the secondary array pivot dragon pearl, and had a preliminary perception and mental preparation for the immense power of this interconnected array.
But perceiving it is one thing, witnessing its devastating combat power firsthand is quite another.
It was a shock that struck straight to the soul.
Watching eight formidable individuals, including two demonic cultivators of equal rank to himself, being swiftly crushed and annihilated without any resistance under the cataclysmic bombardment of the stars...
There was a time when he had to be careful and maneuver when facing demonic cultivators. He had never had such an experience as now, where he could easily slaughter a powerful enemy as if harvesting weeds with absolute dominance.
At the center of the formation, Chen Fei remained calm. With a gentle flick of his sleeve, an invisible suction force was generated, drawing all twenty-one primordial lotus seeds and the pure and abundant demonic cultivation essence into his sleeve.
At the same time, Chen Fei began to multitask, circulating his cultivation technique to peel away the precious fragments of status and the immense fortune contained within the demonic source.
On the other side, Chen Fei's mind once again sank into the resonance fluctuations of the primordial lotus seed in his sleeve, sensing the locations of other people who possessed lotus seeds.
"Hmm?" Chen Fei's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.
In his perception map, the points of light representing the demonic cultivators were currently showing a clear trend of spreading outwards. The signs of agitation and dispersal were particularly pronounced in areas closer to their current location.
"Is it a premonition of impending crisis?"
Several thoughts flashed through Chen Fei's mind in an instant. It seemed that the demonic cultivators in this area had vaguely sensed that something was wrong and had begun to instinctively avoid the risks.
Less than three breaths later, Chen Fei suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at Le Boyang and Zheng Hongtao beside him and nodded in acknowledgment.
The next moment, the surrounding array instantly dimmed, transforming back into the chaotic dragon pearl, which disappeared into the earth's veins below.
Almost at the same time, a powerful yet gentle force surged from the earth's veins, supporting Le Boyang and Zheng Hongtao.
"go!"
Before Chen Fei could finish speaking, the three figures blurred and vanished instantly into the canyon, which had just ended a massacre and still retained a strong sense of death and destruction.
In another area 91,000 miles east of the canyon, space rippled slightly, and the figures of Chen Fei and his two companions appeared out of thin air.
Their gazes instantly locked onto three demonic figures speeding at low altitude not far ahead.
These three demonic figures possessed a dense and powerful aura, and their demonic flames soared to the heavens; all of them were at the peak of the fifteenth level of cultivation.
Especially the cold-faced demonic cultivator in the center, whose demonic energy fluctuations were perfectly harmonious, subtly causing ripples in the surrounding void, was clearly a sign that he had forged a profound foundation for the Dao.
"Mysterious Origin Dao Foundation!"
Zheng Hongtao narrowed his eyes, his expression instantly becoming extremely solemn, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the bronze battle mace.
Even though both are at the fifteenth level of the limit, the difference in strength between those who have forged the Profound Origin Dao Foundation and those who haven't is like heaven and earth.
The three demonic cultivators sensed Chen Fei and his companions' presence almost the instant they appeared, abruptly stopping and turning around.
The leader, Lu Junnan, a demonic cultivator who had forged the Xuan Yuan Dao Foundation, swept his gaze across Chen Fei and the other two with lightning speed.
When his gaze fell upon Chen Fei, who was only at the late stage of the fifteenth level, his extremely keen perception of the rules of the Heavenly Dao and the flow of aura allowed him to instantly detect an extremely special and dangerous fluctuation.
It is a unique Daoist charm that resonates with the rules of this world and represents the achievement of Haoran Yingkong. This person is actually the owner of the newly appeared Haoran Star in the sky.
The rich, primordial lotus seed energy emanating from the lotus seed further corroborated Lu Junnan's idea.
"Run separately!"
Lu Junnan let out a short, sharp roar without any hesitation or even a hint of probing.
Before he finished speaking, dark golden demonic flames erupted around him, and he transformed into a streak of dark golden light that tore through the sky. He abandoned his two companions without hesitation, increased his speed to the extreme, and fled for his life.
The other two level-15 ultimate demon cultivators were stunned for a moment when they heard Lu Junnan's order. Then they immediately flashed away and fled in two different directions.
“I’ll go after him. Grandmaster, Fellow Daoist Zheng, you can take care of the other two.”
The moment Lu Junnan turned to flee, Chen Fei quickly gave a message to Le Boyang and Zheng Hongtao, then his figure blurred as he chased after the dark golden light.
His speed was even faster than Lu Junnan, who had burned some of his own essence and was fleeing at full speed.
Le Boyang's body shimmered with the light of the Five Elements, and with the power of the formation amplified, he chased after the demonic cultivator on the left.
Zheng Hongtao let out a long roar, and his bronze battle mace burst forth with a dazzling blue light, carrying the force of wind and thunder, as it charged toward the demonic cultivator on the right.
