370: The catastrophe intensifies
Eighteen Giant Cities, two have already been annihilated. And this was just the beginning.
In the following days, from the river of time, at least one Profound Immortal Rank being stepped out and descended into the mortal realm, appearing in each Giant City daily.
Xiao Zhuo's Incarnation acted as a firefighter, rushing to aid various places.
With his ability, even though his Clone was only at the Profound Immortal Rank, he almost instantly killed these destroyers from the river of time.
On this day, above No. 6 Giant City, space twisted again, and another Profound Immortal Rank temporal being descended.
It was a nine-headed Demonic Dragon!
Its ten-thousand-foot Demonic Body was as majestic as a mountain, its shadow enveloped the city walls, and its terrifying Aura caused countless Cultivators to be terrified and unable to move. Surrounded by a tide of monsters, it launched a frontal assault on No. 6 Giant City.
Above the city walls, the Wang Siblings and Cao Xiaochuan, who had already reached the Quasi-Immortal Rank, looked at the sky-obscuring Demonic shadow, their eyes filled with unconcealed fear.
The Aura emanating from this nine-headed Demonic Dragon far surpassed that of the Profound Immortals from the previous days, being more than ten times more powerful!
"Finally, someone of substance has arrived!" Xiao Zhuo's lips curled into a slight smile as he chuckled. His gaze swept across the battlefield, and he pointed at a giant demon in the distance that was entangled with a True Immortal from the Blood Palace. "Xiaochuan, take your Junior Brother and Junior Sister to deal with that True Immortal giant demon. As for this nine-headed worm..."
He turned his gaze back to the colossal Demonic Dragon, his eyes indifferent: "Leave it to me!"
"Understood, Revered Master!"
After seventy-seven days and nights of fierce battle, even the massive reserves of Spirit Stones and Demonic Stones in No. 6 Giant City had been depleted.
The city's barrier/boundary had long ceased operation, and the last remaining Spirit Stones were reserved for the final calamity.
These days, the surging monster tides were intercepted solely by the city's powerhouses, who went out to fight in bloody battles.
Only the few Immortal Rank and below monsters that slipped through were allowed near the city walls.
At this moment, the city walls of the Giant City were scarred, and the countless array patterns inscribed on them had long been worn away by the continuous impacts.
Xiao Zhuo stepped off the city wall, his figure instantly appearing a hundred miles away, resolutely blocking the nine-headed Demonic Dragon.
"Big bug! Take this first!" He raised his hand and clenched it, the power of Law surged and converged, and a dazzling seven-colored spatial blade materialized in his palm.
With a flick of his wrist, the spatial blade tore through the sky, transforming into an incomparably sharp crescent arc of light that slashed towards the Demonic Dragon!
"Roar—!"
Three of the Demonic Dragon's massive heads roared, and a layer of eerie green barrier/boundary instantly expanded, barely resisting the spatial slash.
At the same time, its other six Dragon heads opened wide, unleashing ice, flames, lightning, and virulent poison... several destructive breaths intertwined into a net, sweeping across!
Xiao Zhuo did not overconfidently meet it head-on. He activated Universe God Step, his figure flickering like an illusion, continuously dodging the breaths.
In a few flashes, he had appeared like a ghost at the junction of the Demonic Dragon's neck and chest.
A sudden whooshing sound erupted!
The Demonic Dragon reacted with lightning speed, two ferocious Dragon heads, accompanied by a fishy wind, bit towards him!
Xiao Zhuo knew the characteristics of such demonic creatures.
If only one head was severed, it could instantly regenerate.
Only by annihilating all nine heads at once, or exhausting its vast life force and severing the source of regeneration, could it be completely killed.
With such a fierce creature appearing in No. 6 Giant City, other Giant Cities might also be facing strong enemies.
Without Blood Heaven appearing, ordinary Profound Immortals would certainly be unable to resist, and even Xue Qin, who had broken through to Profound Immortal a few days ago, could only contend, unable to kill.
He had to finish the fight quickly!
Xiao Zhuo's eyes blazed with brilliance, no longer dodging!
His entire body's Aura erupted, golden lightning bolts shot into the sky, and a terrifying Concept that transcended the Great Dao swept across the firmament!
Amidst the flashing golden light, a terrifying blade of lightning Divine Sense, as he swung his right arm, condensed and swept forth with immense power!
Ch—!
The golden lightning Divine Blade sliced into the Demonic Dragon's chest and abdomen, cutting through it as smoothly as a hot knife through butter.
The massive torso connecting the nine Dragon heads instantly turned to dust under the ultimate rigid and pure Yang lightning Divine Sense!
The biting Dragon heads were also violently flung away by the raging aftershocks.
The notification of Attribute Points being credited sounded in his mind.
Xiao Zhuo's figure did not stop, instantly splitting into thousands of illusory figures, sweeping across like a gale.
Wherever the lightning passed, the more than thirty True Immortal monsters and ten Heavenly Immortals remaining on the battlefield instantly turned to ashes.
Only a few Immortal Rank monsters were left for the Cultivators in the city to hone their skills.
Immediately, his figure vanished, rushing to the neighboring Giant Cities—No. 4 and No. 5 Giant Cities, both belonging to Wuluo Prefecture.
These past few days, he had already traversed this area countless times.
Within Wuluo Prefecture, besides him, there was only one Profound Immortal cultivated in secret by the Blood Palace, and one Slaughter Xuan Mo (Xuan Demon) from the Slaughter Demon Palace who had broken through during the great calamity.
The battle situation in No. 5 Giant City was still stable, with only nine Heavenly Immortals and over thirty True Immortal monsters wreaking havoc outside the city.
Xiao Zhuo casually pointed, and lightning rained down from the sky, wiping out most of the monsters.
This left the Profound Immortal stationed there, who had just been constrained by five Heavenly Immortals, dumbfounded.
Xiao Zhuo did not stop, heading straight for No. 4 Giant City.
As soon as he arrived at No. 4 Giant City, a powerful energy fluctuation came from three hundred miles away.
The battlefield below the city was even more tragic.
Several corpses of Heavenly Immortal monsters had fallen to the ground, and the Giant City had also lost three Heavenly Immortals and nearly ten True Immortals.
A hundred miles outside the city, a humanoid corpse emanating a Profound Immortal Aura was clearly visible, evidently a being from the river of time that had been slain.
And in the distance, more intense battle fluctuations continued.
Xiao Zhuo did not hesitate, his Divine Sense spread out like a tide, instantly obliterating dozens of Immortal Rank beings besieging the city walls, and his figure transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards the source of the fluctuations.
Before he arrived, his Divine Sense had already scouted the battle situation.
The continuous roar came from a burly man holding a massive dark-red Demonic Sword and a terrifying six-armed Blood Red Demon with a completely blood-red body and a pair of wings on its back.
The man's black hair was stained with blood, dancing wildly amidst the blazing flames surging around him, his eyes were blood-red, and his killing intent filled the field!
Thick, inky black Devilish Qi Entanglement his body—this Devilish Qi, Xiao Zhuo was all too familiar with!
It was precisely the source Devilish Qi that had once demonized the Yao Race in the Yuan Realm and given birth to the Three Demon Ancestors of the Yao-Mo Clan!
"That Slaughter Xuan Mo (Xuan Demon) from the Slaughter Demon Palace?" Xiao Zhuo understood.
The Yuan Realm he first arrived in was the one this palace had attempted to control, infusing it with this Devilish Qi that could grant the Yao Race and demons abnormal regenerative abilities.
Xiao Zhuo had also possessed similar abilities through the Purgatory Demonic Body, which disappeared after he ascended and reshaped his immortal body. However, the Devilish Qi of this Xuan Demon, even after reaching this Rank, had not only not diminished but had become even more tyrannical and fierce, which greatly interested him.
At this moment, the battle between the Slaughter Xuan Mo (Xuan Demon) and the Blood Red Demon had completely devolved into the most primal and bloody Physical Body combat!
Xiao Zhuo was hidden within a spatial fold, his gaze like lightning, fixed on this tragic duel.
The Slaughter Xuan Mo (Xuan Demon)'s figure was as towering as a Demonic mountain, each slash of his dark-red Demonic Sword tore through the air, emitting a piercing shriek and bringing forth torrents of Demonic blood.
The sword's edge collided wildly with the demon's claws and long tail, which were covered in stark white bone armor, erupting in deafening metallic clangs and scattering sparks!
With each impact, the violent force caused ripples in the surrounding space.
"Roar—!" The Blood Red Demon roared, its massive claw, covered in grotesque bone spurs, tore through the sky, viciously striking towards the Xuan Demon's chest!
The Xuan Demon did not dodge or evade! His chest muscles, covered in inky black Demonic patterns, bulged like iron, and his shoulder blades forcefully thrust forward!
Screech—!
A grating sound that set teeth on edge rang out! Dark-red scales and Demonic Qi armor shattered and flew, and five terrifying claw marks, deep enough to expose bone, appeared, gushing with blood!
But at the same time, the Demonic Sword in his hand also swept upwards with immense force, fiercely cleaving into the demon's ribs!
Pfft!
The sword's edge sank three inches into the flesh, and dark-red Demonic blood, hot as lava, gushed out, sizzling and scorching the air!
Both sides possessed horrifying regenerative abilities!
At the Xuan Demon's wound, thick, inky Devilish Qi surged wildly, muscle fibers rapidly wriggled and intertwined like living things, and the deep, bone-exposing wound rapidly grew granulation tissue and quickly healed within a few breaths!
At the demon's cleaved ribs, the high-temperature flesh also rapidly wriggled and proliferated, and the scorching blood acted as a powerful adhesive, forcibly sealing the gash. The wound visibly contracted and scabbed over, with new keratinized layers quickly covering it!
