108: The demons shall never be defeated.

Xu Le injected mana and tore open the Forbidden Curse in his hand.

Thunder's Judgment!

Rumble!

Dark clouds rolled as countless bolts of golden lightning growled and brewed in the sky.

The air pressure changed abruptly, and a violent wind surged in from all directions.

Everyone felt their breathing become difficult, and even their Souls were trembling.

A Forbidden Curse!

This was a terrifying magic that was forbidden from appearing in the world!

Once it appeared, the earth would shatter and the sky would change color.

Just as everyone was feeling so uncomfortable they wanted to vomit blood, a beam of golden light appeared, piercing through heaven and earth.

A bolt of golden lightning struck the group of Demonic Corpses.

The group of Demonic Corpses at the forefront was instantly turned into flying ash.

As the current surged, the surrounding Demonic Corpses were struck by lightning one after another, their health bars were emptied, and they fell to the ground.

Golden thunder is of the ultimate Yang, while Demonic Corpses are of the ultimate Yin; a single strike caused damage that far exceeded 'Meteor Fire Rain'.

Only then did everyone hear the rumbling of the golden thunder.

As one bolt struck, ten thousand followed.

That single golden bolt was like a clarion call for the charge, followed by a continuous barrage of lightning striking down.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

Countless bolts of golden lightning wove through the Demonic Corpses; even these creatures, filled with thoughts of slaughter, now felt fear.

Like startled ducks, they roared and ran around aimlessly, only to be blasted to death by the golden thunder.

"Go!"

At Xing Manshan's command, everyone filed out one after another.

Most of the Demonic Corpses were deterred by the thunder and exhausted from running for their lives; the few that did rush over fell under Xu Le's heavenly halberd.

Seeing that everyone had gone far, Yang Yin channeled his mana, and the museum's Formation instantly short-circuited, triggering a terrifying energy explosion.

Boom!

A massive mushroom cloud rose into the air.

The surrounding Demonic Corpses were all blown into a pulp.

The museum, along with the surrounding houses, was swept clean, leaving not a single trace behind.

Xu Le hurriedly led everyone to retreat toward Beian Gate.

They slaughtered their way through the entire journey.

They cast various skills whenever they were off cooldown, and the contracted beasts like Nine Phoenix were dripping with sweat from exhaustion.

There were too many Demonic Corpses!

Even though a portion of them had been dealt with or distracted by the Forbidden Curse and the explosion, even if only a small fraction focused on them, there were still upwards of a hundred thousand.

Furthermore, as they continued to kill, more and more Demonic Corpses were drawn to them.

Kill, kill, kill!

Xu Le swung his heavenly halberd, unleashing over 15,000 points of strength, and a Demonic Corpse of Rank twenty-plus was snapped in two.

He caught up in one step and swept to both sides, leaving more dead or injured.

With his strength, no Demonic Corpse could stand in his way.

However, the massive number of Demonic Corpses was their greatest advantage; although most were not of a high Rank, a high-quality one would occasionally jump out and deal terrifying damage.

"Ah!"

A scream came from the team; a Rank 86 Thousand Commander, in a moment of Divided Soul, was ambushed by a Rank 82 Trial Baihu Demonic Corpse and slashed in the thigh.

He quickly swung his shield and saber, barely blocking the subsequent attacks, but he knew that with his thigh injured, he wouldn't be able to keep up with the team.

As the vanguards of the team, Xu Le and Xing Manshan had no intention of lingering to finish off enemies.

With their current numbers, even six million pigs would be hard to kill, let alone dangerous Demonic Corpses.

Xu Le continuously swung his heavenly halberd at such high speeds that he was like a meat grinder; any Demonic Corpse he touched was turned into pulp and sent flying.

Suddenly, the resistance in his hands lightened, and he realized they had slaughtered their way through the crowd. He shouted in joy, "We've broken through!"

Boom!

The crowd, which had been feeling somewhat hopeless, was instantly revitalized!

Breaking through meant they could run at full speed.

The subsequent chase would be more than ten times easier.

Although there were high-Rank Demonic Corpses that could catch up, their numbers were relatively few.

One-on-one, or even one-on-ten, who was afraid?

Everyone unleashed their great power, and with the help of Xu Le and the contracted beasts, the entire group rushed out of the Demonic Corpse swarm.

Roar, roar, roar!

Over a thousand high-Rank Demonic Corpses stopped hiding and jumped out one after another, preparing for a final battle.

Xu Le and the others fought as they moved, quickly passing through an alley.

Seeing that almost all the high-Rank Demonic Corpses had arrived, Yang Yin tore open his last Forbidden Curse.

Fire Dragon's Roar!

Twelve fire dragons roared as they charged into the Demonic Corpse swarm; the terrifying high temperature instantly emptied the health bar of a heavily injured Advanced Demonic Corpse. Seeing this, the other Demonic Corpses turned to flee.

But they had no chance; they were soon caught by two fire dragons and burned alive.

With no Demonic Corpses to hinder them, Xu Le and the others quickly rushed to the city gate. This time, there were no obstacles to leaving the city.

[Ding! You have escaped Yongan City. Reward: +10,000 Points.]

Seeing that they had escaped the Demonic Corpses' line of sight, Xu Le cast a 'Conceal Aura' skill on everyone, hiding their presence so they wouldn't be easily discovered by demonic things.

The group dared not stop and kept heading north. After running for a full three days, they finally saw a giant city in the distance.

Linhai City!

Different from what they had imagined, this place had already been overrun by demonic things, and the city's Formations were completely destroyed.

No demon subduing stone was found here; the entire giant city was like a corpse, with nothing left behind.

"It's gone, it's all gone!"

"In the whole world, only we are left!"

Someone broke down completely, collapsing on the ground and sobbing.

The sound of crying spread, and the others followed suit sorrowfully, sitting on the ground and weeping.

Xu Le even saw Zhu Yuyao and several other participants wiping away tears, and he couldn't help but feel speechless.

What, just because they're crying, you have to join in for a round too?

The NPCs in the dungeon didn't know the future of humanity, but didn't they?

While everyone was crying their hearts out, Xing Manshan clapped his hands to interrupt them.

Appropriate crying can release emotions, but if it continued, the army's morale would completely scatter.

"Brothers, stop crying!"

"As long as we are still here, humanity is not extinct!"

"Take off your Amulets and feel it. Compared to the initial Devilish Qi, is the Devilish Qi here not as violent as before, and its corrosiveness a level weaker?"

"The Devilish Qi is being diluted!"

"I bet that in the giant cities further north, the Devilish Qi will be tamed into a gentle little kitten that stays in your arms all day going meow meow meow."

With that final joke, everyone's hearts brightened up.

Xing Manshan continued to encourage them: "Behind us, countless heroic Souls are angry, shouting, and roaring."

"Brothers, stand up!"

"While the Demonic Creatures are not yet destroyed, why cry? Until the Abyss is leveled, we shall never rest!"

Touched, the crowd brandished their weapons and roared at the top of their lungs: "While the Demonic Creatures are not yet destroyed, why cry? Until the Abyss is leveled, we shall never rest!"

Yang Yin shouted his approval: "City Lord, I propose we establish a Merit Points Monument. The heroic Souls of Yongan City shall never perish and will be immortal!"

The crowd cheered: "Heroic Souls shall never perish, they are immortal!"

Xing Manshan and the others quickly erected a giant stone monument 9.9 meters high, 3.3 meters long, and 0.99 meters wide, with eight large characters inscribed: 'Eternal Glory to the Heroic Souls of Yongan'.

The monument was relatively simple, just a piece of granite shaved into a square shape, but the characters on it were written with exceptional earnestness.

On the back of the monument, Xing Manshan carved a Sharp Blade with a drop of blood on the tip, on the verge of falling.

Below it, a line of small characters was written: 'Hatred as deep as the sea, eternal and inextinguishable!'

"This..." Xu Le's heart shook. He pulled a medal from his storage space; it was engraved with a silver Sharp Blade, with a drop of red blood on the tip that was on the verge of falling.
