100: The Demon Lord has made his move, and his army is at the gates of the formidable pass!

Inside the Commander's Residence, Chen Xu dismissed everyone.

Only he and Murong Zhuyun remained, sitting opposite each other.

"Imperial Tutor is a straightforward person, so Zhuyun won't beat around the bush."

Murong Zhuyun spoke first, her expression turning serious.

"I have come here representing the three major Sects of the Righteous Path."

"This Demonic Tribulation is no small matter, far exceeding previous ones. Our Sects naturally intend to assist with all our strength. The Lingdao Immortal Sect is currently also confronting the Demonic Path head-on, and the battle situation is very intense."

She looked at Chen Xu and said, "Therefore, the three major Sects have reached a consensus. From today onwards, all Nascent Soul and above combat power of our Righteous Path will obey the Imperial Tutor's command, be uniformly dispatched, and jointly resist the Demonic Path!"

"You will be the Anti-Demon Commander of our Alliance!"

As soon as these words were spoken, even Chen Xu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Anti-Demon Commander!

This title not only represented glory but also power!

It was the power to command the highest combat strength of the entire southern Cultivation world!

The three major Sects had placed all their bets on him.

"Why me?"

Chen Xu asked.

Murong Zhuyun looked at him deeply, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Once upon a time, this person was merely a low-level Cultivator of their Qingyun Immortal Sect.

Yet, by today, his strength and status were already vastly different.

She, who claimed to have calculated all heavenly secrets, never expected a true Dragon to emerge right under her nose.

If she had known this earlier...

She would have done everything to win him over.

Murong Zhuyun was momentarily stunned, then recovered and slowly said, "Because you are the only one who can make the Demonic Path's vanguard suffer repeated setbacks."

"And also, because you are Chen Xu."

This answer made Chen Xu silent for a moment.

He knew that what the other party valued was not just his achievements, but also him as a person.

"Alright, I'll take this command."

Chen Xu did not decline.

He looked at Murong Zhuyun and continued to ask, "What else have you brought?"

He knew that Murong Zhuyun's personal visit was not merely to express support.

Sure enough, Murong Zhuyun's expression...

Became unprecedentedly solemn.

"An intelligence report, one about your current enemy."

She slowly said, "Through the Sect's secret divination methods, combined with ancient texts, we have confirmed that the supreme commander of this Demonic Army is one of the seven kill demon star of Demonic Path legend."

"Pojun Demon Lord!"

"seven kill demon star? Pojun Demon Lord?"

Chen Xu frowned slightly. He had known about the seven kill demon star for a long time.

But this title of Pojun Demon Lord was the first he had heard.

A deep hint of apprehension appeared on Murong Zhuyun's beautiful face.

"The Imperial Tutor is currently in the imperial court, so perhaps he is unaware. These seven kill demon star are Demonic Path Cultivators chosen by the four Demonic Path Sects!"

"But if one traces their origins, these fellows are not Cultivators, but rather Incarnations of the will of seven Demonic Path stars, born from the ancient Qi of slaughter and destruction."

"They are the source of the Demonic Path, the Incarnations of calamity."

"Each Demonic Star possesses the power to destroy heaven and earth."

"And this Pojun Demon Lord, among the Seven Kill, presides over war and slaughter!"

"Sect records state that every few millennia, when a great tribulation descends upon heaven and earth, the seven kill demon star will attempt to descend upon this realm. Their goal is only one..."

Murong Zhuyun's voice was extremely low.

"To search for a sacred object lost in our realm."

Sacred object!

When these two words came out of Murong Zhuyun's mouth...

Chen Xu's brow furrowed slightly.

In an instant, countless clues rapidly connected in his mind!

The journey to the East Sea!

Heavenly Corpse Venerable!

Prince Yu!

That so-called "Demon Earth Human King" plan!

And the "Sacred Fetus Descent" that he himself had ruined!

He had always felt that behind these events, there seemed to be something deeper hidden.

Now, he understood everything!

Their so-called Sacred Fetus was not prepared for themselves at all.

But rather to welcome the descent of a certain existence!

And that existence was very likely one of the seven kill demon star!

They were all just pawns of the mastermind behind the scenes...

Set up to find the "sacred object"!

And he, on the shore of the East Sea, on the Great Feng Heavenly Altar, had personally cut off that pawn!

Therefore, this time, Pojun Demon Lord came personally!

"What exactly is that sacred object?"

Chen Xu asked in a deep voice.

Murong Zhuyun slowly shook her head, a hint of bitterness on her face: "I don't know. The ancient texts only mentioned the words 'sacred object'; what it specifically is, no one knows."

"Perhaps, it has already exceeded the scope of what we can understand."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu's heart stirred.

He had also seen related descriptions in the Legacy of the Purple Mansion Dao Lord!

Would the sacred object recorded in the Purple Mansion Dao Lord's Legacy be the same as this Demonic Path sacred object?

He calmly suppressed this thought and looked at Murong Zhuyun.

"Then what is Sect Master Murong's plan?"

"Kill!"

A decisive killing intent flashed in Murong Zhuyun's eyes: "No matter what his purpose is, since he has come, we cannot let him return alive!"

"Although Pojun Demon Lord is powerful, his descent into this realm will inevitably be suppressed by the Heaven and Earth Law!"

"It's impossible for him to exert his full strength."

"This is our opportunity!"

She looked at Chen Xu and solemnly said, "I, along with the Grand Elders of the other two Sects, have already infiltrated the vicinity of Heavenly Wolf Pass. Three Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators are ready to be dispatched by the Imperial Tutor at any time!"

Three Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators!

This power was enough to sweep across the entire Great Feng Dynasty eight hundred times!

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu nodded, his heart settling.

"Good."

The two reached a consensus, and their next goal was to join forces to execute Pojun!

Seeing this, Murong Zhuyun flipped her delicate hand.

A set of exquisite tea ware appeared on the table.

She took out a jar of tea leaves, and her slender jade fingers moved like flowing clouds and water as she began to brew tea.

A clear, elegant tea fragrance, which brought peace to one's mind just by smelling it...

Slowly permeated the tent.

"This is our Qingyun Sect's unique Quiet Mind Enlightenment Tea, irrigated with thousand-year-old spiritual springs and roasted by the Sect's elders using a secret method. It has the effect of calming the mind and consolidating the Dao Heart."

Murong Zhuyun pushed a cup of clear, verdant tea to Chen Xu.

"The Imperial Tutor has been fighting continuously, and his mental state must have been depleted. Have a cup of clear tea to rest."

Chen Xu picked up the teacup, not refusing.

As the tea entered his mouth, a warm, gentle current...

Instantly flowed through his limbs and bones.

He felt his mind, which had been tense for days due to calculations and slaughter...

Relax.

"Good tea."

Chen Xu praised sincerely.

Inside the solemn commander's tent, amidst the clashing of weapons and horses, the two sat opposite each other, savoring the fragrant tea.

For a moment, there was a rare sense of tranquility and harmony.

However...

This tranquility was so short-lived.

Just as Chen Xu finished drinking the tea in his cup!

Boom—!!!!

An indescribably vast pressure, from the distant northern sky, towards Heavenly Wolf Pass...

Crashed down!

That pressure was overbearing! Chilling!

The pressure was entirely filled with the will of destruction and slaughter!

Its intensity far exceeded that of an Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator like Blood Butcher Wu Zhan!

It even surpassed a Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator like Murong Zhuyun!

Crack! Crack!

The teacup in Chen Xu's hand, under this pressure, could not bear it and was covered in cracks!

The entire Heavenly Wolf Pass trembled under this pressure!

The grand city-protecting formation, strong enough to withstand the fierce attacks of Nascent Soul Cultivators, flickered wildly, its light dimming and brightening.

As if it would completely shatter in the next second!

On the city walls, countless soldiers, regardless of their cultivation level, under this pressure...

Their legs went weak, and they knelt down in swathes!

Their faces were ashen, and their bodies trembled like sieves.

Their eyes were filled with terror!

Inside the commander's tent.

Chen Xu and Murong Zhuyun, at the moment the pressure descended, both suddenly stood up!

The brief tranquility on their faces...

Was instantly replaced by solemnity!

They exchanged glances, and both saw the horror in each other's eyes!

"He's here!"

Murong Zhuyun's voice carried a hint of Battle Intent.

Chen Xu said nothing.

He raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the dome of the commander's tent.

Looking towards the northern sky, shrouded in endless Devilish Qi.

His eyes were as cold as knives!

Pojun Demon Lord!

After successively losing Black Wind Gorge and Blood Butcher Wu Zhan...

This Demonic Star, who commanded war and slaughter, finally ran out of patience.

He had obviously decided to act personally!

Boom!!!

Just then, in the very center of the Demon Army's camp, a thick, mountain-like pillar of blood-red light suddenly tore through the gloomy sky, shooting straight into the clouds!

Within the light pillar, a figure slowly condensed.

He was clad in savage black heavy armor.

His face was stern, his features exquisitely handsome.

His eyes were as deep as a cold pool, devoid of any emotion.

It was none other than Pojun Demon Lord!

He had not descended in his main body, but rather as a combat Clone, condensed from his own essence blood and a portion of his Divine Soul.

Possessing the Peak combat power of the Late Nascent Soul Stage!

But even if it was just a Clone!

Its might was far beyond that of ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators!

As soon as he appeared, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the entire Northern Border battlefield began to riot.

The wind and clouds changed color, and ghosts wailed and gods howled!

As if the entire world trembled at his descent!

And with the appearance of the Clone, inside Heavenly Wolf Pass, all Cultivators below the Golden Core Stage, under this pressure, were directly shocked into spitting blood and collapsing to the ground, unable to move even a single finger!

Marquis Zhenbei, Li Hu, Wang Bao, and a host of other generals...

Exerted all their strength to circulate their spiritual power.

Only then did they barely manage not to kneel.

But their bodies were also bent like shrimp, and their bones emitted creaking sounds.

Their old faces turned a purplish-red!

This was the might of the seven kill demon star!

Just a Clone, yet it was so powerful, making it impossible to move!

"Om ~!"

The next moment, Pojun Demon Lord's cold gaze pierced through layers of the Void Realm, spanning several miles.

Directly locking onto Chen Xu within the Commander's Residence.

Immediately after, his voice, like thunder from the Nine Heavens, boomed in everyone's ears!

"Chen Xu!"

"Get out here!"

"Fight me!"

Within the voice, Demonic Might surged.

Instantly and clearly spread throughout the entire Heavenly Wolf Pass!

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

With the Demon Lord's descent, the retreating million-strong Demon Army once again surged from all directions!

Outside Heavenly Wolf Pass, they reformed their sky-obscuring formation!

A chilling military formation, cold Demonic armor, ferocious battle beasts!

Intertwined with the figure in the sky, like a Demonic God!

Bringing a sense of suffocation and despair to all the defending soldiers within the pass!

It's over!

This time, it's truly over!

In front of such a god-like existence...

Did they still have the strength to resist?

However...

Just amidst this widespread despair...

A figure, enduring the terrifying pressure that could crush mountains, stepped out of the Commander's Residence, one step at a time.

It was Chen Xu!

He wore a cyan robe, spotless.

His robes flapped in the violent air currents, but he himself was like a peerless divine sword plunged into a mountain Peak.

Motionless!

Not only did he show no fear, but a raging Battle Intent burned in his eyes!

He glanced at the soldiers on the city wall, who were sprawled about, their faces filled with despair.

He then looked at Marquis Zhenbei and Murong Zhuyun beside him, who also had solemn expressions, staring intently at the sky.

The next moment, he spoke calmly: "Guard the city well."

Then, he raised his head, his gaze fixed on the demonic figure in the sky, and smiled faintly.

"He, leave him to me."

The instant his words fell!

Chen Xu took a step!

His entire being suddenly transformed into an exceedingly brilliant cyan Sword Light!

Whoosh!

The Sword Light soared into the sky, without the slightest hesitation.

It flew directly out of the crumbling city-protecting formation!

Before ten thousand armies, amidst despair!

Under the shocked gaze of hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Wolf Pass defenders!

Under the cold stares of a million Demon Army!

That cyan Sword Light hovered in mid-air.

Facing off against the demonic figure wreathed in blood light in the sky!

One man!

One demon!

A silent confrontation unfolded in mid-air!

In an instant, two distinct Auras fiercely collided in the sky!

From Chen Xu's body, Sword Intent surged sharply to the heavens!

That Sword Intent was pure and sharp.

As if it could sever all shackles in the world and pierce through all darkness!

He was like the only light in this dim world shrouded by Devilish Qi!

And opposite him.

Pojun Demon Lord's demonic might was overwhelmingly tyrannical!

It was a war Evil Qi mixed with iron and blood and death!

As if standing behind him were not a million Demon Army.

But the countless military souls who had died in wars throughout history!

His Aura was so heavy and oppressive.

That one glance would cause one's mind to crumble, falling into illusions of mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

The two distinct Auras fiercely collided and squeezed in the air!

The space between them groaned under the terrifying impact of Spiritual Qi, unable to bear it.

Even tearing open small black cracks!

Mere clashes of Aura had already caused drastic changes in the celestial phenomena!

On the city wall, Marquis Zhenbei and the others watched with trembling hearts!

Is this the duel of top-tier mighty Cultivators?

Before even making a move, it was already earth-shattering!

In mid-air.

Pojun Demon Lord looked down from above, meticulously scrutinizing Chen Xu with his eyes.

After a moment, he spoke coldly, his voice carrying a hint of surprise, and more contempt.

"Golden Core Peak Stage?"

"It was you who destroyed this Lord's Black Wind Gorge?"

"It was you who beheaded this Lord's beloved general, Wu Zhan?"

"I have to say, you are a Genius."

Pojun Demon Lord's voice slowly echoed through Heaven and Earth.

"Unfortunately..."

His tone shifted, and a hint of killing intent emerged in his cold eyes.

"Geniuses always die young."

His words were filled with a condescending tone.

As if Chen Xu's fate was already firmly in his grasp.

If he wanted Chen Xu to die, Chen Xu would have no path to life!

Facing such a situation!

Chen Xu held the myriad ages azure cloud sword, its tip pointed diagonally at the sky, meeting him head-on!

He let out a sneer, not loud, but clearly audible across the entire battlefield.

"A mere Clone, daring to blabber here?"

What?!

Clone?!

As soon as Chen Xu uttered these words, all the soldiers within Heavenly Wolf Pass who heard him were stunned!

That god-like existence was actually just a Clone?!

Then how terrifying must his true body be?!

The flicker of hope that had just ignited.

Was instantly extinguished by even greater fear!

Chen Xu, however, ignored the commotion below. He looked at Pojun Demon Lord, whose face had slightly darkened, and continued in his calm tone:

"If your true body dared to come, perhaps it could make me exert a bit more effort."

"As for you..."

Chen Xu's gaze was like looking at a dead man.

"You're not even worth a glance!"

Arrogant!

Too arrogant!

Facing a Demon Lord Clone capable of oppressing Heaven and Earth.

Not only did Chen Xu show no fear, but he provoked him!

What courage!

What confidence!

On the city wall, Marquis Zhenbei and the others listened with surging blood, feeling as if a foul breath in their chests had been forcefully exhaled!

No matter what Demon Lord or demon god you are!

My Imperial Tutor of Great Feng fears you not!

"You seek death!"

Pojun Demon Lord was directly enraged!

His handsome and stern face instantly showed fury!

He stopped wasting words!

The verbal confrontation was over; next would be a struggle of life and death!

Battle Intent surged to its Peak!

Pojun Demon Lord suddenly raised his right hand!

Buzz—!!!

With his movement, the entire Northern Border battlefield seemed to come alive at this moment!

Below, the overwhelming Evil Qi, thick as substance, from the million Demon Army!

On the ground, the iron-blooded military souls steeped over countless years!

In the air, the endless killing intent drifting about!

All visible and invisible forces related to war.

At this moment, they seemed to be drawn by his right hand, converging madly towards his palm like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea!

He was extracting the power of the entire battlefield!

"Ant!"

Pojun Demon Lord's voice transformed into a cold demonic sound.

"Then let me show you..."

He slowly clenched the hand that had gathered the killing Qi of the entire battlefield!

The entire sky instantly darkened!

A bloody Domain composed of blood and fire, slaughter and death.

Opened with a roar, centered on him!

"What true war is!"

"Roar—!!!"

Below, a million Demon Army roared in unison at this moment.

Their voices converged into a visible black sound wave, soaring into the sky.

All pouring into that bloody Domain!

On the ground, the iron-blooded military souls steeped over countless years, the lingering wills of those who died on the battlefield.

At this moment, they were all awakened, transforming into distorted blood shadows, wailing, roaring, rushing to merge into the Domain!

War Domain!

This was the exclusive authority of Pojun among the seven kill demon star!

Within this Domain, he was the God of War!

He was the undefeated Military God!

The moment the Domain unfolded, Chen Xu felt a terrifying pressure squeezing him from all directions!

This pressure was not merely Spiritual Qi coercion.

The roar of a thousand armies and ten thousand horses instantly rang in his ears, the clang of weapons, the desperate screams before death!

Before his eyes, illusions of mountains of corpses and seas of blood emerged layer upon layer.

Countless ancient military souls, holding broken weapons and clad in decaying armor, appeared from the Void Realm.

Staring fixedly at him with hollow, venomous eyes.

Then launched an endless charge!

Evil Qi!

Evil Qi so dense it materialized, frantically tried to burrow into Chen Xu's body through his mouth, nose, and pores.

Corroding his mind and polluting his Dao Heart!

If an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator fell into such a Domain, they probably wouldn't last even a single breath before their mind crumbled.

Completely assimilated by this endless Evil Qi.

Becoming a mad demon who only knew slaughter, unable to distinguish friend from foe!

On the city wall, everyone was scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering by this terrifying sight!

"What... what the hell is that?!"

"Imperial Tutor! The Imperial Tutor is surrounded!"

Marquis Zhenbei and the others felt their bodies turn cold, their hands and feet numb.

Although they couldn't clearly see the specific scene within the Domain.

Just the faint Aura leaking from the edge of the Domain.

Made them feel as if their Divine Soul was about to be torn apart!

Too terrifying!

This was simply not a power that human strength could contend with!

Is this the might of a Demon Lord?!

Murong Zhuyun's pretty face also completely sank. Her jade hand, hidden in her sleeve, had already clasped a jade talisman emitting terrifying fluctuations.

That was her Sect's life-saving trump card.

Once crushed, it was enough to unleash a full-power strike at the Peak of the Late Nascent Soul Stage!

She had already prepared for the worst.

Once Chen Xu showed signs of defeat, she would strike without hesitation!

Just under the gaze of all.

Within the bloody Domain.

Pojun Demon Lord looked at Chen Xu, who was submerged by endless military souls and Evil Qi.

A hint of disdain appeared on his face.

It was over.

A mere Golden Core, no matter how much of a Genius, in front of his War Domain.

Was nothing more than a slightly stronger ant.

He casually threw a punch in Chen Xu's direction!

This punch seemed unremarkable.

But the moment the fist was thrown, the phantom of the million Demon Army behind him, the roar of countless military souls, seemed to be imbued onto the fist with this punch!

The fist wind transformed into a bloody Qi wave of ten thousand horses galloping.

Carrying the terrifying power to shatter mountains and rivers, it smashed down upon Chen Xu!

However.

Just as the bloody fist wind was about to hit Chen Xu.

A cyan Sword Light suddenly emerged from the endless Evil Qi and military souls.

Rising against the current!

"Slash!"

A clear shout resounded throughout the Domain!

Chen Xu's figure reappeared!

His clothes were still unblemished, and in his eyes, there was not the slightest trace of confusion or fear.

Instead, they shone astonishingly bright.

Like brilliant stars in the dark night!

The myriad ages azure cloud sword let out a clear sword cry, and a hundred-zhang-long cyan Sword Qi tore through layers of blood color.

Bravely met that fist wind!

Boom—!!!

A deafening roar!

The cyan Sword Qi and the bloody fist wind collided with a bang in the center of the Domain!

However, a heart-stopping scene occurred!

That invincible cyan Sword Qi, the moment it touched the fist wind, shattered inch by inch.

Like fragile glass!

The fist wind, its momentum undiminished, heavily slammed onto Chen Xu's protective Sword Qi!

Bang!

Chen Xu was sent flying several hundred zhang away!

His throat sweetened, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The Qi and blood within his body surged wildly!

"Imperial Tutor!"

On the city wall, Marquis Zhenbei and the others cried out in alarm, their hearts instantly sinking to the bottom!

One move!

In just one move, the Imperial Tutor was injured!

That was the Imperial Tutor who could kill the Nascent Soul Demon General Wu Zhan with a single sword strike!
