232: Realm of Heroic Spirits

The Human Race warriors finally returned to Demon-Rejecting Pass, activating the defensive Spirit Formation and Spiritual Artifacts, but they still couldn't stop the Demon Race Army's offensive.

The city was on the verge of falling.

Xu Chengyang said to the remaining five Martial Saint Experts and Li Hongxue, Lu Xingchen: "Everyone, Demon-Rejecting Pass can no longer be held. Please take Her Excellency Xin Huo back to Central Continent quickly; the Teleportation Array inside the pass can still operate."

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice: "Then City Lord Xu, what about you?"

Xu Chengyang gave a bitter smile: "As the City Lord of Demon-Rejecting Pass, of course, I must live and die with the Human Race warriors!"

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice: "If the City Lord is unwilling to leave, how could I, Lu Xingchen, be a person who fears death?"

Xu Chengyang said with a bitter smile: "Young man, don't act on impulse. We must preserve the Kindling for the Human Race."

Just then, Lu Xingchen suddenly heard a roar.

His heart trembled, and he said in a deep voice: "Did you hear that? What is that sound? It seems like the city wall of Demon-Rejecting Pass is roaring!"

Hearing this, everyone looked towards the city wall.

Because not only Lu Xingchen heard it, but everyone else did too.

Golden light suddenly lit up on the city wall, then the golden light grew more and more, spreading out, forming a barrier around Demon-Rejecting Pass.

Any Demon Race soldier within the barrier, or touching the barrier, immediately turned into a puddle of blood.

For a moment, the fierce offensive of the Demon Race came to an abrupt halt.

This sudden change greatly surprised everyone.

"What exactly is going on?"

Xu Chengyang, being the most experienced and knowledgeable, was stunned for a moment, then loudly exclaimed: "It's the Spirit of Valor Realm!"

"Only when all the deceased die in the same place and possess the same Power Of Faith can the Spirit of Valor Realm be formed. The Spirit of Valor Realm can absorb the Power Of Faith of the deceased and protect their faith."

"For a hundred years, most of the ashes of the warriors who died in battle at Demon-Rejecting Pass were scattered on the city walls. Their faith, isn't it to protect the peace of the Human Race?"

"It's the martyrs of Demon-Rejecting Pass who saved us!"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief.

His luck was truly too good; he actually encountered such a bug as the Spirit of Valor Realm.

It seems that for now, Demon-Rejecting Pass has escaped the crisis of being breached.

It's just unknown how long this Spirit of Valor Realm can last, and whether it can hold on until the Seal effect of the Demon God Spirit Sealing Formation ends?

Ning Mengqi, who was leading the battle outside the pass, was bewildered.

"Elder Deng, how was that barrier formed? It possesses such powerful strength that even a Saint would find it difficult to Breakthrough!"

Deng Jingwei said in a deep voice: "It's the Spirit of Valor Realm, supported by the Power Of Faith. I never thought such a legendary power would be mastered by the Human Race, and at such a crucial moment."

"The Spirit of Valor Realm can only be triggered once; after that, the Power Of Faith will be exhausted. We can only wait for it to dissipate before launching another attack."

Ning Mengqi frowned deeply and said unhappily: "The effect of the Demon God Spirit Sealing Formation only lasts for three days. If this Spirit of Valor Realm doesn't disappear for three days, wouldn't our plan this time fail?"

Deng Jingwei said in a deep voice: "There is indeed such a possibility. We have already achieved a great victory this time, eliminating half of the Human Race soldiers and killing three Martial Saints. Even if we failed to breach Demon-Rejecting Pass, it's enough to report back to the higher-ups."

Ning Mengqi shook her head emphatically: "I've painstakingly planned for so long, not just to pass. Demon-Rejecting Pass must fall, and Kindling must be killed. Let all the Demon Saint Experts attack together and see if they can break through the Spirit of Valor Realm."

"As you command!"

The 11 Demon Saints of the Demon Race all attacked together, using their strongest power to strike the Spirit of Valor Realm.

Ripples appeared on the Spirit of Valor Realm, seemingly showing signs of shattering.

Xu Chengyang immediately roared in anger: "You scumbags of the Demon Race, do you really think we Human Race Martial Saints are useless? If you want to destroy the Spirit of Valor Realm, you'll have to see if we agree!"

As Xu Chengyang's words fell, the remaining six Martial Saint Experts all attacked together, using their own Qi to reinforce the Spirit of Valor Realm.

For a time, both sides reached a strange balance.

Ning Mengqi was greatly angered and said in a deep voice: "Please ask the The Two Elders Jin Yin to act!"

Hearing this, Deng Jingwei was greatly surprised.

"The The Two Elders Jin Yin's injuries have never recovered since their battle with Zhang Xiaofan, and they have relied on various Spirit Medicine of the Demon Race to preserve their lives."

"Once they make a move, their injuries will become even more severe, and they might even fall. This means that the The Two Elders Jin Yin only have one chance to act."

"The lives of two high-star Saints must be treated with caution even by the Demon Race. Grand Marshal, you must consider this carefully. If the The Two Elders Jin Yin cannot break through the Spirit of Valor Realm, the 36 Demon Pillars will definitely hold you accountable."

Ning Mengqi said in a deep voice: "I sacrificed 30% of the Demon Race soldiers for this battle opportunity; how can I be stopped by a mere barrier? Elder Deng, awaken them. I will bear all responsibility!"

Deng Jingwei nodded slightly.

"Good!"

He was also a little excited in his heart. Having finally pushed the Human Race to a desperate situation, with the pass on the verge of being breached, who would easily give up?

Since Ning Mengqi was taking responsibility, he wanted to see the demeanor of the The Two Elders Jin Yin.

Just like that, the Demon Race Army waited outside Demon-Rejecting Pass for a day.

The Human Race warriors also began to recover from their injuries and gather more troops from the Nine Continents.

Everyone was filled with worry, hoping that the Spirit of Valor Realm could last until the Seal effect of the Demon God Spirit Sealing Formation was lifted.

At dawn on the second day, two terrifying auras suddenly emerged from the Demon Abyss, their oppressive power greatly startling everyone inside Demon-Rejecting Pass.

Lu Xingchen and the other Human Race High Command ascended the city wall together and saw the two Demon Race elders who had broken through the air.

They were both white-haired and their Qi and blood were weak, but their demonic power was incredibly strong.

Seeing these two demons, Xu Chengyang was greatly surprised.

"It's Two Saints of Gold and Silver! They're actually still alive!"

Lu Xingchen's heart trembled, and he said in a deep voice: "City Lord Xu, could you please introduce them?"

There was a hint of fear in Xu Chengyang's tone: "Two Saints of Gold and Silver broke through to Saint a hundred years ago. They are biological brothers, sharing the same Bloodline, and can fuse their demonic power to attack. Their strength far surpasses that of ordinary Saints."

"They participated in the mission to hunt down the first-generation War God Zhang Xiaofan and succeeded. Afterward, they disappeared from Tianyuan Continent. I originally thought they were dead, but I never expected them to have survived until now!"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was greatly surprised.

Saints who had survived for a hundred years, powerful experts from the same era as Senior Zhang Xiaofan, were now summoned by Ning Mengqi.

If the Spirit of Valor Realm was truly shattered by the two of them, what would happen to the tens of thousands of Human Race warriors?

Two Saints of Gold and Silver flew in front of Ning Mengqi.

Gold Saint said in a deep voice: "It's been a hundred years, and Demon-Rejecting Pass still exists. These juniors are too useless."

"Little girl, are you the Grand Marshal of the Demon Race?"

Ning Mengqi bowed to the two, and said softly: "Greetings, The Two Elders Jin Yin!"

"No need for formalities. Elder Deng has already told me everything. I can't guarantee that I can break this Spirit of Valor Realm, but I will try my best."
