373: Ten Golden Immortals

The final countdown was like a blood-dripping guillotine hanging over the heads of all living beings in the Blood Demon Realm.

Xiao Zhuo, deep within the No. 6 Giant City's tall tower, was doing his utmost to repair his damaged Clone.

The Clone had been largely repaired, and the newly inscribed runes flickered with a faint light.

His frequent battles in the form of his Divine Soul over the past days, and the forced use of his Divine Soul power to repair the Clone, had caused his Divine Soul power to drop to less than fifty percent of the Clone's peak.

However, the battle reports from outside, like ice water, repeatedly extinguished his forced concentration.

Day eighty-eight.

From the direction of the distant No. 7 Giant City, an earth-shattering roar was heard, followed by the mournful wail of collapsing Laws and the desperate aura of billions of lives instantly annihilated.

A pillar of blood-red light shot into the sky, only to be swallowed by an even denser darkness the next second.

No. 7 Giant City, fallen!

Day eighty-nine.

The distress signal from the struggling No. 10 Giant City abruptly ceased.

The faint glow of the city's protective array was completely submerged by an endless tide of demons, and the tall tower in the city center collapsed like a sandcastle under the combined bombardment of several Profound Immortal Rank existences.

No. 10 Giant City, annihilated!

On the same day, No. 12 Giant City was annihilated by the massive number of monsters that surged over after the destruction of No. 10 Giant City.

In just two days, three Giant Cities collapsed one after another.

The defensive network originally constructed by eighteen Giant Cities now had only thirteen remaining, like isolated islands that could capsize at any moment in a raging storm.

A massive number of time-born creatures lost their original targets, like a shark pack smelling blood, frantically surging towards the remaining thirteen Giant Cities.

The pressure increased severalfold!

Although in these tragic three months, the native beings of the Blood Demon Realm continuously made Breakthroughs on the brink of life and death, and the numbers of True Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and even Profound Immortals far exceeded those before the calamity, there were even Prodigies like Cao Xiaochuan and the Wang Siblings who achieved Breakthroughs during the fierce battles.

But facing an endless stream of enemies pouring out of the river of time, outnumbering them several times, and fearless of death, the defensive line remained precarious and in distress everywhere.

Although Xiao Zhuo was in seclusion, he still constantly monitored the battle situation around the Giant City.

Because of Xiao Zhuo's presence, No. 6 Giant City was the best-preserved large city in terms of combat power, and there were also many Prodigies who achieved Breakthroughs. It now had six Profound Immortals, seventeen Heavenly Immortals, and nearly a hundred True Immortals.

But facing the increasing number of time-born creatures crossing the cracks, it was still insufficient!

He could clearly hear the sounds of fighting, roars, and dying wails from outside the city, and he could see the desperate yet unyielding eyes of the Cultivators on the city walls.

The city defenses of No. 17 Giant City in Beilu Prefecture seemed to have reached their limit, on the verge of collapse.

Terrifying Profound Immortal Rank fluctuations erupted simultaneously in several battlefields, and the defending Profound Immortals were besieged, facing extreme danger.

Just at this moment.

An indescribable, vast, ancient, and supremely powerful will, filled with endless bloodlust, suddenly awakened from the Blood Palace headquarters!

The Laws of Heaven and Earth of the entire Blood Demon Realm, at this moment, seemed to be forcibly smoothed and controlled by an invisible giant hand!

"Annihilate them for this seat!!!"

A cold, indifferent voice, as if echoing from the depths of the Nine Heavens, ignored spatial distance and exploded directly in the depths of every living being's Soul! It was Blood Heaven!

The next instant, a sudden change occurred!

In the centers of the remaining thirteen Giant Cities, the long-dormant towering giant towers suddenly lit up with crimson light pillars that pierced the sky!

The light pillars were not attacks, but instantly intertwined above the thirteen Giant Cities, forming an incomparably vast crimson network that covered the heavens and earth!

Buzz—!

The remaining thirteen Giant Cities were enveloped by a thick red light barrier, its solidity far surpassing that of any previous Giant City's protective array!

Countless time-born creatures, frantically assaulting the city walls, crashed against the barrier/boundary, instantly emitting shrill screams as if hitting a red-hot branding iron, their bodies rapidly dissolving and annihilating in the crimson light!

This was just the beginning!

The crimson light pillars at the top of the thirteen giant towers suddenly contracted inwards, then swept across the vast battlefields around their respective Giant Cities at an unimaginable speed!

Chii chii chii chii—!

There were no earth-shattering explosions, only a scalp-numbing sound, as if space itself was being cut by high temperature.

Wherever the light pillars swept, whether it was the lowest-grade cannon fodder demon beasts, or the Profound Immortal Rank time-born creatures battling the defending Profound Immortals, or even those powerful existences that had just torn space and extended half their bodies... all time-born creatures touched by the crimson light instantly froze!

Their bodies, along with the imprints of their existence, decomposed and vaporized silently, like ice and snow thrown into a furnace, leaving not even a speck of dust!

In just a single breath, outside the thirteen Giant Cities, all time-born creatures attacking the cities, regardless of their strength, were completely wiped out!

The battlefield instantly became empty, leaving only the shattered land and the startled defending Cultivators.

Blood Heaven's hidden trump card was so overbearing and peerless!

With his own power, he remotely controlled the arrays of the thirteen giant towers, instantly clearing all invading enemies!

This level of control, this power, was worthy of the Blood Demon Realm's master!

However, this brief tranquility brought no joy.

All Immortal Rank and above existences suddenly felt a massive boulder weighing on their hearts, and a chill originating from the deepest part of their Souls made their hair stand on end.

The sky of the Blood Demon Realm, without any warning, cracked open!

It wasn't a spatial rift, but a gaping wound as if the entire world itself had been forcibly torn apart!

A full ten of them!

Each rift was a thousand zhang long, spanning the sky, like ten terrifying giant eyes from primordial antiquity, indifferently looking down at the tiny world below.

Inside the rifts was not Void Realm turbulence, but a surging, boiling river of time with strangely twisted colors!

An ancient, decaying, and terrifying aura, hundreds of times denser than when Profound Immortals descended, powerful enough to suffocate, gushed out like a substantial tsunami, instantly sweeping across the entire Blood Demon Realm!

The earth wailed, the sky trembled, and the Laws twisted!

Ten colossal figures, each with a different form, but all possessing an aura as deep as an abyss and as vast as a prison, as if they could prop up the heavens and earth, were slowly descending from those ten massive time rifts...

Golden Immortal!

Ten Golden Immortal Rank existences, once vanished in the river of time, awakened by the will of the boundary sea, finally stepped into this world on the verge of Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class)!

Their auras intertwined, forming an absolute Domain powerful enough to crush Profound Immortals, announcing that this cruel promotion calamity, which had lasted eighty-nine days, had finally reached its ultimate and most tragic movement—the Battle of Golden Immortals!

Time also crossed into the ninetieth day at this moment.

On the ninety-eighth floor of No. 6 Giant City's tall tower, the tightly closed door was pushed open by an invisible force.

Xiao Zhuo's figure appeared at the doorway.

His body had returned to normal, but his eyes showed fatigue.

The Clone was barely repaired, but there was no time for him to recover his Divine Soul power.

He looked up, his gaze penetrating the tower's obstruction, as if crossing endless space, firmly locking onto the ten terrifying figures emanating world-ending pressure in the sky above.

The final battle has begun.
