Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

169: Chapter 171 Fierce Battle, Great Witch!Rumble!

The plain where Luoyun City was located trembled as if thousands of troops were charging, and as far as the eye could see, there were only crazed, galloping Yao Beasts.

On the city walls, Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators stood ready, occasionally probing their Divine Sense into their Storage Rings to check if Medicinal Pills and other items for healing and restoring Spiritual Qi were fully prepared.

Only a fool wouldn’t see that this would be a bitter battle, even a fight to the death, and most of them had a high probability of dying in combat.

Buzz!

The clouds shrouding Luoyun Mountain dispersed, and the Five Elements Cycle Heaven-Connecting Grand Array was fully activated, connecting to Yunxiao Blessed Land. Brilliant five-colored light enveloped both blessed lands and Luoyun City.

At the same time, Luoyun City’s city-protecting Formation also opened. It was a third-tier Medium Grade Tribulation Thunder Annihilation Grand Array, capable of manifesting DivineXiao Tribulation Thunder at the Mid-stage Purple Mansion level, making its destructive power among the best of its peers.

This Formation was jointly funded by the Purple Mansion True Persons residing in Luoyun City and the Chen family.

Swish!

Top-Grade Spirit Stones turned into ashes, their solid, pure Spiritual Qi absorbed by the Five Elements Cycle Heaven-Connecting Grand Array, maintaining its full operation.

Then, a thick, mountain-like five-colored Divine Light shot out from Luoyun Mountain’s peak, like a Five Methods Purple Mansion unleashing a Divine Ability, instantly annihilating countless Yao Beasts.

Whether Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment, they all turned to dust. Even the Purple Mansion Demon Kings at the rear of the beast tide were startled and filled with dread.

”This Chen family of Luoyun Mountain won’t be easy to take down.”

A Tiger-Headed Demon King with a human body spoke.

”Even the strongest Formation has its limits. I don’t believe such an attack can be launched dozens or hundreds of times.”

”However, it does require attention. If caught off guard, even my king’s defenses would be injured.”

An Elephant-Headed Demon King looked at Luoyun Mountain in the distance. Its demonic body, like an iron tower, exuded an unparalleled sense of oppression, far stronger than many other Demon Kings.

”Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals. We just need to handle the Chen family’s Purple Mansion True Persons.”

A Purple Mansion Demon King, beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal with five fox tails, exhaled and spoke.

On the other side.

The defenders looked out, and no trace of Yao Beasts could be seen on the horizon, only endless crimson spreading. The thick smell of blood could be detected even from dozens or hundreds of miles away.

After unleashing such a terrifying andUnparalleled strike, the five-colored light enveloping Luoyun Mountain dimmed slightly but quickly recovered to its original state.

The Five Elements Cycle Heaven-Connecting Grand Array could not only manifest five Formation Spirits but also imitate the great Divine Ability of the Rainbow Dao, activating the Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light. If a Purple Mansion True Person took a hit, their Divine Abilities and magical power would be annihilated.

This was the first time the Chen family used the Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light after setting up the Five Elements Cycle Heaven-Connecting Grand Array, and its power did not disappoint.

But for these Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts, it was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Therefore, after delivering one strike, Great Master Feng Cong, who was controlling the Formation, stopped.

He did this for a reason: to make the Purple Mansion Demon Kings in the rear wary.

When the Purple Mansion cultivators on both sides clashed, these Purple Mansion Demon Kings would definitely guard against the Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light, which would distract them.

This way, the pressure faced by Chen Zhuhong and the other Purple Mansion True Persons would be somewhat reduced.

This was the decision they made after deliberation.

Drag it out, as much as possible.

No matter how remote Liyuan Commandery was, it was still territory of Great Qi.

As long as reinforcements arrived, it would be a victory.

Not long after, the blood-soaked earth began to tremble again. Red-eyed, maddened Yao Beasts surged towards Luoyun City like a tidal wave.

Howl!

With a wolf howl, a gray-black Foundation Establishment Demonic Wolf, as tall as a small mountain, was the first to rush near Luoyun City. Its fur flew, astonishing yao power gathered in its mouth, and terrifying fluctuations permeated the air.

Boom!

A pillar of light condensed from yao power shot out, striking the colorful Formation and creating layers of ripples.

Immediately after, attacks of varying power bombarded the Formation, causing countless ripples to spread.

”Bang!”

Chen Zhuyun made the first move. His Martial Dao True Force flowed like a river, and his Qi and blood, as majestic as a great mountain, boiled. He unleashed the Scarlet Sun Fist, as if a scarlet sun had fallen from the Nine Heavens, instantly blowing apart the massive head of the gray-black Foundation Establishment Demonic Wolf.

He was like a Martial Dao God of War. Each punch he threw was like a hundred mountains striking horizontally, exuding an Aura of invincibility, as if no one could stand against him.

Whether it was a Foundation Establishment Peak Great Demon or an ordinary Foundation Establishment Great Demon, none were a match for him in a single exchange.

As soon as they clashed, their demonic bodies, as hard as Magical Artifacts, were torn apart and turned into blood mist.

However, the surging Yao Beasts were simply too numerous, as if all the Yao Beasts born in the Tianli Mountain Range over the past ten thousand years had gathered here.

Even though Chen Zhuyun was practically invincible in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he couldn’t stop them all.

The Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators stationed on the city wall, seeing Chen Zhuyun’s unparalleled bravery, had their morale greatly boosted and successively unleashed their Magical Artifacts and ultimate moves.

When their magical power was exhausted, they took Medicinal Pills to recover, all just to kill as many Yao Beasts as possible.

Streams of Foundation Establishment Spells fell, and Foundation Establishment Great Demons bled.

As long as the Grand Array wasn’t broken, they could remain safe and focus on killing Yao Beasts.

”Useless.”

A Wolf-Headed Demon King, seeing the beast tide continuously blocked ten miles outside Luoyun City, couldn’t help but lightly chide.

As he spoke, the Wolf-Headed Demon King stepped out, appearing above Luoyun City. A black wolf claw, covering all directions, reached out and fiercely struck the city-protecting Grand Array.

Divine Ability and magical power erupted, and the hundreds of miles of Luoyun City seemed to tremble under this single blow.

Rumble!

The Tribulation Thunder Annihilation Grand Array activated, and deep purple Divine Thunders manifested, shattering the sky and striking back at the Wolf-Headed Demon King.

The latter raised an eyebrow, black magical power surged, and two sharp claws, like divine weapons, cut through the Void Realm, directly clashing with the incoming Divine Thunder.

Blinding Thunder Light erupted, and the Wolf-Headed Demon King appeared slightly disheveled, his hands charred black. His gaze towards Luoyun City was filled with anger.

”Roar!”

The Wolf-Headed Demon King roared, directly revealing its true form: a black giant wolf hundreds of zhang long howled at the sky. Black blades condensed and surged towards Luoyun City like an overwhelming tide.

Such a terrifying attack caused all the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators present to change their expressions.

Without the protection of the Formation, this single blow would be enough to wipe out all of them, the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators.

”Since my debut, I have yet to slay a Purple Mansion Demon King!”

Golden patterns appeared in Chen Zhuhong’s eyes, and her crimson long dress seemed to ignite. Fierce Vermilion Bird Lihuo surged, transforming into a Burning Heaven Vermilion Bird that swept across the sky, incinerating all the blades in the air.

The Vermilion Bird Burning Heaven Dharma Body unfolded, and a pair of Vermilion Bird fire wings, a thousand zhang wide, appeared behind her. Flames capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas raged in all directions, as if a noble Vermilion Bird Goddess had descended upon the world.

Without much more, Chen Zhuhong struck out with one hand. The Vermilion Bird Lihuo, more scorching than the great sun, transformed into a sea of fire that descended from the sky, as if to burn down the firmament and turn this region into a world of Lihuo.

The Wolf-Headed Demon King roared repeatedly, black magical power covering its entire body. Black blades, capable of cleaving rivers, shot out through the air, clashing head-on with the descending sea of fire.

Boom!

As soon as the human and the wolf clashed, they went all out, shattering the sky and cracking the earth. The shockwaves killed countless Yao Beasts below.

True Person Xun Zhou and the other three True Persons remained still, and the Demon Kings at the rear of the beast tide also made no move.

Both sides watched the battle between Chen Zhuhong and the Wolf-Headed Demon King, seemingly waiting for a result before acting.

Soon, with a mournful wolf howl, the head of the several-hundred-zhang-tall Demonic Wolf was severed by a Vermilion Bird wing like a heavenly blade, and its Divine Soul was instantly incinerated.

Dead. A Mid-stage Purple Mansion Demon King was slain by Chen Zhuhong just like that.

Boom!

The moment the Wolf-Headed Demon King fell, a sky-covering tiger claw pressed down, tearing three deep ravines in the sky, heading straight for Chen Zhuhong.

True Person Xun Zhou and the other two were about to help, but Demon Kings, no less than twenty of them, descended through the Void Realm.

The Purple Mansion-level Aura surged, and the Purple Mansion Demon Kings stood like demonic mountains between heaven and earth, pressing down so hard that the firmament seemed about to shatter.

Especially the three standing at the very front: the Elephant-Headed Demon King, the Peng-Headed Demon King, and the Lion-Headed Demon King.

These three Purple Mansion Demon Kings should be called Great Demon Kings. The power they exuded was no less than that of a Five Methods Purple Mansion, reaching the Violet Palace Peak, far surpassing the other Demon Kings.

True Person Xun Zhou and the couple, True Person Yuan Gu, showed bitter expressions. How could they fight this?

Just the three Great Demon Kings alone were enough to sweep them aside.

”Everyone, do not panic! Our Chen family’s Grand Array is sufficient to defend against False Core Great Powers!”

A thunderous voice emanated from Luoyun Mountain, shaking away all the clouds in the sky.

The Five Elements Cycle Heaven-Connecting Grand Array was fully activated, five-colored light illuminated all directions, and five ten-thousand-zhang-tall Formation Spirits appeared.

Each of them was close to the Five Methods Purple Mansion Realm, especially the Xu Earth Qilin Formation Spirit in the center, whose Aura had already reached the Five Methods Purple Mansion level, and a very powerful one at that.

Roar!

The Geng Metal White Tiger Formation Spirit was the most murderous. Its tiger roar split the sky, transforming into a brilliant golden light, pouncing towards two Late-stage Purple Mansion Demon Kings.

The Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise Formation Spirits also sought out several Mid-to-Late-stage Purple Mansion Demon Kings, fighting one against many.

As for the most powerful Central Heavenly Xu Earth Qilin Formation Spirit, it faced the three Great Demon Kings alone.

For a time, the sky shattered and the earth cracked, five-colored light pierced through heaven and earth, and Purple Mansion magical power surged like an abyss.

Even Liyuan Commandery City, hundreds of thousands of miles away, could clearly sense the commotion here.

Pfft!

Chen Zhuhong took a direct hit from the Tiger-Headed Demon King, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. She used this opportunity to retreat back into Luoyun City.

The Tiger-Headed Demon King was a Late-stage Purple Mansion with Four Divine Abilities, while she was only an Early Stage Purple Mansion with two Divine Abilities, so she couldn’t match him.

”Senior Xun Zhou, I’ll leave this tiger demon to you. The remaining Early-to-Mid-stage Purple Mansion Demon Kings will be handled by me, True Person Yuan Gu, and True Person Yuxi.”

After Chen Zhuhong finished speaking, she charged out again, unleashing her Burning Heaven Sparrow Divine Ability, enveloping a Mid-stage Purple Mansion Demon King and two two-Divine Ability Purple Mansion Demon Kings.

She intended to fight three at once, doing her best to hold them back. The best outcome would be to slay all three Purple Mansion Demon Kings.

”Good!”

Without further ado, True Person Xun Zhou unleashed his Natal Spiritual Artifact, a Thousand-Silk Whisk that instantly expanded ten thousandfold, striking the Tiger-Headed Demon King with the might to shatter a thousand mountains.

True Person Yuan Gu and his wife gritted their teeth and used their trump cards. The powerful couple worked together to block five Early Stage Purple Mansion Demon Kings.

Thus, ninety percent of the twenty-odd Purple Mansion Demon Kings who came with the beast tide were intercepted.

The remaining three Purple Mansion Demon Kings headed towards Yunxiao Blessed Land.

As Demon Kings, it was not difficult for them to see the connection between Yunxiao Blessed Land and Luoyun Mountain.

If Yunxiao Blessed Land could be breached, Luoyun Mountain alone wouldn’t last long.

Guarding Yunxiao Blessed Land were Chen Zhuqing and her husband, as well as Chen Zhuyuan, Huang Shanrou, and Liu Luojun.

They were all Foundation Establishment cultivators. Facing three Purple Mansion Demon Kings, they could only rely on the Formation for protection, occasionally unleashing Spiritual Artifacts to attack.

Fortunately, when Chen Zhuqing and her husband went to the Tianchen Lineage Legacy Blessed Land for the second time, their Guardian Spiritual Artifacts had advanced to Spirit Treasures.

When fully activated, the Taiyin Sun merged, forming the Yin and Yang Dao Annihilation Divine Light, which inflicted significant injuries on the three Purple Mansion Demon Kings.

However, Purple Mansion Demon Kings had rapid recovery abilities, and they could completely outlast Chen Zhuqing and the others.

Just as the Chen family cultivators were doing their utmost to resist the beast tide, three figures quietly appeared above Luoyun City.

”These Yao Beasts are useless. We still need Grand Shaman Ken Zhe to make a move.”

An aged voice rang out. A skeletal old man looked at the tall, black-robed man beside him.

”After this Blood Sacrifice succeeds, my Tianwu Mountain wants one-third.”

A chilling and sinister voice came from the tall, black-robed man, sending shivers down one’s spine.
