112: Chapter 112 Border Smoke, Demon Tide Approaching

The wind at the Northern Territory border carried yellow sand and faint Devilish Qi, making the flags on the watchtower snap loudly in the wind.

Bai Yunzhou stood atop the tower, his Chaos Perception spreading out to encompass all the movements in the Outer Realm Demonic Realm.

The assembly speed of the demonic Cultivator army far exceeded expectations. In a mere half-day, tens of thousands of demonic Cultivators had gathered opposite the border, forming a pitch-black, surging tide.

Three Early Stage Void Refining demonic Cultivators stood before the army, their surrounding Devilish Qi as solid as ink. One of them held a black demonic banner; he was none other than the vanguard commander of the demonic Cultivator army—General Heiyuan.

General Heiyuan waved the demonic banner, and tens of thousands of demonic Cultivators let out earth-shaking roars. Devilish Qi soared into the sky, actually dyeing it a dark purple.

The ancient runes on the spatial barrier flickered violently, resisting the erosion of the Devilish Qi, yet tiny cracks were still slowly spreading.

"Hall Master Bai, the demonic Cultivators' movements are too massive; I'm afraid they will launch an attack within three days!" Qingtian Lie hurried up the watchtower, his expression grave.

Bai Yunzhou nodded, his gaze still locked on the outer realm: "They are accumulating Devilish Qi, trying to break through the spatial barrier in one fell swoop. We need to make foolproof preparations."

"Pass down my order: all soldiers enter Level One alert, reinforce the defensive Formation, prepare Talismans and Medicinal Pills, and prepare for battle at any time!"

Qingtian Lie acknowledged the order and hurried down. Urgent horn sounds instantly rang out within the camp as soldiers performed their respective duties, nervously and orderly making pre-battle preparations.

Bai Yunzhou took out a communication talisman and once again sent an urgent report to the Alliance, informing them that the demonic Cultivators' attack was imminent and requesting the Alliance to dispatch reinforcements as soon as possible.

True Monarch Tianxing's reply arrived quickly: the Alliance reinforcements were already on the way, led by Sword Sovereign Hanbing and Master Cangwu Zi, and would arrive at the border in three days.

"Three days..." Bai Yunzhou murmured softly. It was highly likely that the demonic Cultivators would attack early; these three days would be the most critical defensive period.

He leaped down from the watchtower and came to the center of the defensive Formation, injecting the Power of Chaos into the Formation core to reinforce the Formation once again, while deeply fusing his Chaos Domain with the Formation.

The light of the improved defensive Formation surged explosively. The cyan-gray Chaos halo intertwined with the golden profound yellow power, forming a double-layered light curtain with greatly enhanced purification power.

Having finished all this, Bai Yunzhou did not rest and headed to the spatial barrier, continuously nourishing the ancient runes with the Power of Chaos and profound yellow power.

Nourished by the two forces, the runes grew increasingly brilliant. The cracks gradually healed, and the stability of the spatial barrier increased by several fractions.

Busy until late at night, Bai Yunzhou finally returned to his temporary tent. After briefly adjusting his breath for a moment, he got up to patrol the camp and check the soldiers' combat preparations.

The camp was brightly lit. Soldiers were either wiping their weapons, cultivating and adjusting their breath, or checking Talismans and Medicinal Pills. Everyone's face wore a resolute expression without a trace of fear.

Walking to a corner, several young Disciples of Qingtian Pavilion were whispering to each other. Although there was tension in their eyes, there was even more eager Battle Intent.

"With Hall Master Bai here, plus such a sturdy defensive Formation, we will definitely beat back the demonic Cultivators!" A round-faced Disciple gripped the longsword in his hand tightly, his tone firm.

"I heard that Hall Master Bai has achieved Perfection in the Chaos Green Lotus Body and can even fight Void Refining stage Cultivators. With him holding down the fort, what do we have to fear!"

Seeing this scene, Bai Yunzhou felt a slight stir in his heart and walked up softly: "Junior Brothers having such confidence is the key to victory. However, the demonic Cultivators are formidable, so do not underestimate the enemy."

Seeing that it was Bai Yunzhou, the Disciples quickly bowed in salute: "Greetings, Hall Master Bai! We will definitely follow orders and guard the border to the death!"

Bai Yunzhou smiled slightly and took out several Soul-Protecting Pills condensed from chaos lotus seeds: "These are Soul-Protecting Pills, which can resist the erosion of Devilish Qi. Keep them well for any unexpected needs."

The Disciples took the Medicinal Pills, their eyes filled with gratitude. After thanking him in unison, they continued to throw themselves into battle preparations.

After patrolling the camp, the horizon was already turning fish-belly white. Bai Yunzhou returned to his tent, and just as he was about to adjust his breath to recover, he sensed abnormal movements coming from the spatial barrier.

His figure flashed, and he instantly appeared before the barrier. He saw several demonic Cultivator suicide squads using their own vital blood as a catalyst to impact the weak spots of the spatial barrier.

The black vital blood fell onto the barrier, emitting a sizzling corrosive sound. The light of the ancient runes dimmed for a while, and a small gap was actually corroded out.

"Courting death!" A trace of coldness flashed in Bai Yunzhou's eyes. The liefeng sword was unsheathed, and the Power of Chaos condensed into Sword Qi, slashing out instantly.

The Sword Qi pierced through the small gap in the spatial barrier, completely slaughtering the several demonic Cultivator suicide squad members. Their vital blood was purified by the Power of Chaos, and the gap gradually healed.

But this was only the beginning. Soon, more demonic Cultivator suicide squads rushed up, impacting the spatial barrier in the same manner. Gaps continually appeared and healed.

"Hall Master Bai, going on like this is not a solution; the demonic Cultivators are consuming the barrier's energy!" Qingtian Lie hurried over with a team of soldiers, speaking anxiously.

Bai Yunzhou nodded and said in a deep voice: "You lead the soldiers to hold the defensive Formation; I will go and destroy the source of their vital blood!"

With that, he circulated the Power of Chaos, concealing his Aura, and transformed into a cyan-gray stream of light, passing through the temporary gap of the spatial barrier to sneak into the Outer Realm Demonic Realm.

The Outer Realm Demonic Realm was desolate, with the ground covered in black cracks. The air was permeated with thick Devilish Qi, making it suffocating.

Bai Yunzhou circulated the Chaos Green Lotus Body, using the Power of Chaos to protect his body and resist the erosion of Devilish Qi, silently sneaking toward the rear of the demonic Cultivator army.

At the rear of the demonic Cultivator army, there was a black altar where dozens of demonic Cultivators were refining vital blood bombs on the altar—they were the culprits behind the corrosion of the spatial barrier.

Around the altar were a hundred demonic Cultivator guards, all of Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, with solid Auras, vigilantly scanning their surroundings.

Bai Yunzhou's eyes turned cold, and his Chaos Domain quietly unfolded. The Law suppression trait was activated, and the Auras of the defending demonic Cultivators instantly plummeted by sixty percent.

His figure was like lightning, and the liefeng sword slashed repeatedly. Streaks of Chaos Sword Qi silently slaughtered the defending demonic Cultivators; in just a few breaths, all hundred guards collapsed to the ground.

The demonic Cultivators on the altar sensed the anomaly and turned around one after another, their eyes filled with panic. Before the vital blood bombs in their hands were fully refined, they hurled them toward Bai Yunzhou.

"Chaos Swordsmanship: Profound Yellow Purification!" Bai Yunzhou let out a low shout, the Power of Chaos and profound yellow power intertwining to form a purification light curtain.

The vital blood bombs collided with the light curtain and were instantly purified, dissipating into wisps of black smoke. The demonic Cultivators on the altar were also blown away by the shockwave of the light curtain, spitting out black blood.

Bai Yunzhou leaped onto the altar, his liefeng sword sweeping horizontally to completely slaughter the remaining demonic Cultivators. Afterward, he set fire to the altar, and raging flames swallowed all the refining Materials.

Having destroyed the altar, Bai Yunzhou dared not linger. He turned into a stream of light and passed through the gap in the spatial barrier to return to the Northern Territory border.

As soon as he returned to the border, he saw that the demonic Cultivator army had fallen into brief Chaos because the altar was destroyed. General Heiyuan roared repeatedly, yet had no idea who had destroyed the altar.

"Hall Master Bai, you succeeded! The corrosion of the spatial barrier has stopped!" Seeing Bai Yunzhou return, Qingtian Lie's eyes were filled with joy.

Bai Yunzhou nodded, wiping away the blood at the corner of his mouth: "It is only a temporary alleviation; the demonic Cultivators will soon come up with other methods, and we still need to remain vigilant."

As soon as his voice fell, an earth-shaking horn sound suddenly came from the Outer Realm Demonic Realm. General Heiyuan waved the demonic banner, and tens of thousands of demonic Cultivators surged toward the spatial barrier like a tidal wave.

"Not good! The demonic Cultivators have launched their attack early!" Qingtian Lie's expression changed drastically, and he immediately ordered, "Open the defensive Formation with full power, soldiers prepare for battle!"

The light of the defensive Formation surged instantly, with the cyan-gray and golden light curtains intertwining, blocking the front of the spatial barrier and waiting in full battle array.

Tens of thousands of demonic Cultivators rushed to the spatial barrier, frantically crashing against it. The black Devilish Qi collided with the golden runes of the barrier, producing a deafening roar.

The spatial barrier trembled violently, and the light of the ancient runes flickered erratically, running the risk of shattering at any moment.

General Heiyuan sneered, and together with two other Early Stage Void Refining demonic Cultivators, they attacked simultaneously. Three streaks of black demonic light pierced straight at the same spot on the spatial barrier.

Boom! The demonic light hit the barrier, and the runes on the barrier instantly dimmed. A huge crack spread out, and the spatial barrier was forcibly torn open with a gap!

"Charge! Take the Northern Territory, and slaughter all Righteous Path Cultivators!" At General Heiyuan's command, tens of thousands of demonic Cultivators poured madly into the Northern Territory border along the gap.

"Defensive Formation, rise!" Qingtian Lie roared angrily, the light curtain of the defensive Formation instantly surging to block the impact of the demonic Cultivators.

The demonic Cultivators frantically crashed against the light curtain, and Devilish Qi continuously eroded it. The light of the light curtain gradually dimmed, clearly unable to hold on for long.

Bai Yunzhou's eyes condensed, his figure flickered, and he instantly appeared in front of the light curtain. The liefeng sword was unsheathed, and the Power of Chaos intertwined with profound yellow power, condensing a five-colored Sword Qi.

"Chaos Sword Dao: Myriad Techniques Return to One: Demon Annihilation!"

The Sword Qi slashed out like a brilliant meteor, piercing straight into the demonic Cultivator army. Wherever it passed, demonic Cultivators collapsed one after another, Devilish Qi was purified, and the pressure on the light curtain instantly eased.

"Hall Master Bai is mighty!" Seeing this, the border soldiers' morale skyrocketed, and they all struck out. Talismans, Sword Qi, and spells intertwined into a net, slaughtering the demonic Cultivators who rushed through the gap.

Seeing that Bai Yunzhou was so formidable, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in General Heiyuan's eyes. Exchanging glances with the other two Void Refining demonic Cultivators, they pounced toward Bai Yunzhou simultaneously.

"A mere Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator dares to act presumptuously in front of this seat!" General Heiyuan roared angrily, waving the demonic banner in his hand as countless demonic souls surged out from the banner, lunging at Bai Yunzhou.

The other two demonic Cultivators also attacked at the same time: one held a black magic saber, slashing out a demonic blade imbued with a destructive Aura; the other condensed a huge demonic statue, crushing down toward Bai Yunzhou.

Bai Yunzhou's eyes turned cold as his Chaos Domain fully unfolded. Within a fifty-li radius, the Auras of the demonic Cultivators instantly plummeted by sixty percent, and the power of the demonic souls, demonic blade, and demonic statue was also drastically weakened.

"Chaos Ancient Sword!"

The liefeng sword slashed out a Chaos Sword Qi fused with ancient Sword Intent, piercing straight at General Heiyuan. Wherever the Sword Qi passed, the demonic souls were purified, the demonic blade was severed, and the demonic statue was pierced through.

General Heiyuan's expression changed drastically, not expecting Bai Yunzhou's strength to be this formidable. Hastily circulating Devilish Qi, he condensed a demonic shield to block the attack of the Sword Qi.

Boom! The Sword Qi slashed onto the demonic shield, and the shield shattered instantly. General Heiyuan was knocked back repeatedly, spitting black blood from his mouth, his Aura withering.

Seeing this, the other two Void Refining demonic Cultivators launched even fiercer attacks, with the demonic saber and demonic statue striking again, trying to take the opportunity to heavily injure Bai Yunzhou.

Bai Yunzhou's figure flickered as he executed the Chaos Avatar technique, splitting into three Clones to respectively block the attacks of the two demonic Cultivators, while his true body continued to pursue General Heiyuan.

"Chaos Profound Yellow Slash!"

His true body's Sword Qi slashed out once more, the profound yellow power and Power of Chaos intertwining. Its power surpassed the previous one, piercing straight at General Heiyuan's vital spots.

General Heiyuan had nowhere to dodge and could only burn his own vital blood. Devilish Qi surged violently, and he waved the demonic banner in his hand with all his might, attempting a last-ditch struggle.

But the gap in strength was too vast; the Sword Qi instantly pierced through the demonic banner, stabbing straight into General Heiyuan's glabella. The Power of Chaos flooded in, completely shredding his Divine Soul.

After killing General Heiyuan, Bai Yunzhou turned around to support his Clones. The Power of Chaos surged explosively, and joining forces with his Clones, they quickly heavily injured the other two Void Refining demonic Cultivators.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the two demonic Cultivators turned around and tried to flee. How could Bai Yunzhou give them a chance? His figure was like lightning, and the liefeng sword slashed continuously, two streaks of Sword Qi slaying them on the spot.

With the deaths of the three Void Refining demonic Cultivators, the morale of the demonic Cultivator army instantly collapsed. Tens of thousands of demonic Cultivators fled in all directions like headless flies, completely losing their previous ferocity.

"Soldiers, pursue the victory! Slaughter all invading demonic Cultivators, leave none alive!" Bai Yunzhou shouted loudly, his voice echoing across the entire battlefield.

The border soldiers' morale was like a rainbow as they rushed out of the defensive Formation, hunting down the fleeing demonic Cultivators like fierce tigers descending the mountain, their battle cries shaking the earth and heavens.

Bai Yunzhou led the elite soldiers rushing toward the gap in the spatial barrier, wanting to take the opportunity to close the gap and prevent more demonic Cultivators from pouring in.

But right at this moment, an even more terrifying fluctuation of Devilish Qi came from the Outer Realm Demonic Realm. A huge demonic shadow appeared opposite the border, and its Aura actually reached the Middle Stage of Void Refining!

"Audacious human, how dare you kill the generals under this seat! Today I will make you pay for this blood with blood!" The demonic shadow let out an earth-shaking roar—it was none other than the commander-in-chief of the demonic Cultivator army, Lord Moyuan.

Lord Moyuan waved his hand, and a huge demonic palm pierced straight at the gap in the spatial barrier, attempting to tear the gap completely open while killing Bai Yunzhou.

Bai Yunzhou's expression changed drastically. Lord Moyuan's strength far surpassed the previous three demonic Cultivators; the power of this strike was enough to heavily injure a Late Stage Peak Soul Transformation Cultivator.

"Everyone retreat into the defensive Formation!" Bai Yunzhou warned loudly, simultaneously circulating the Chaos Green Lotus Body to its extreme. The Power of Chaos and profound yellow power intertwined, condensing into a huge Chaos Profound Yellow Shield.

Boom! The demonic palm hit the Chaos Profound Yellow Shield, producing an earth-shattering roar. The shield instantly filled with cracks, and Bai Yunzhou was knocked back repeatedly, spitting fresh blood from his mouth.

The light of the Chaos Domain dimmed somewhat, and the Chaos Undying trait of the Chaos Green Lotus Body was triggered, rapidly repairing the injuries within his body

Seeing that his single strike had failed, the Demon Abyss Lord flashed a hint of surprise in his eyes, then sneered, "Interesting, but this bit of strength is still not enough!"

He raised his hand again, and the Devilish Qi crazily converged, condensing into a longer and thicker demonic spear. Carrying the might to destroy everything, it pierced straight at Bai Yunzhou and the spatial barrier.

Bai Yunzhou gritted his teeth and condensed the Chaos Xuanhuang Shield once more, simultaneously channeling the energy of the defense Formation into the shield, attempting to withstand this fatal blow.

At this critical juncture, a fierce burst of Sword Qi came from the horizon. An ice-blue sword light sped over like a shooting star, piercing straight at the demonic spear.

"Sword Sovereign Hanbing!" A hint of joy flashed in Bai Yunzhou's eyes; he had not expected the reinforcements to arrive so timely.

Sword Sovereign Hanbing's figure appeared above the battlefield, his Ice Soul Sword Intent surging drastically. It collided with the demonic spear, erupting into an earth-shattering loud sound.

The demonic spear was severed by the Sword Qi, and the Demon Abyss Lord was shaken back several steps, his eyes filled with disbelief, "A Soul Transformation Late Stage Peak Cultivator? To think the Northern Territory still has such an expert!"

Master Cangwu Zi also arrived leading the Alliance reinforcements. His green robes fluttered around him, and his Aura was solid. Standing shoulder to shoulder with Sword Sovereign Hanbing, he looked toward the Demon Abyss Lord.

"Demonic Cultivators, do not be impudent! How can the Northern Territory tolerate you all running amuck!" Master Cangwu Zi shouted loudly. The Cangwu Sword Intent surged, intertwining with Sword Sovereign Hanbing's Ice Soul Sword Intent to form a powerful Sword Qi barrier.

The Alliance reinforcements poured into the battlefield in a steady stream, merging with the border soldiers. Their morale surged once again as they chased down the fleeing Demonic Cultivators, and they quickly slaughtered all tens of thousands of invading Demonic Cultivators.

Under the joint efforts of Sword Sovereign Hanbing and Master Cangwu Zi, the gap in the spatial barrier gradually healed, and the light of the ancient runes grew brilliant once more.

Looking at the endless Alliance reinforcements, the Demon Abyss Lord's eyes were filled with dread. Knowing that it was no longer possible to break through the border today, he snorted coldly, "We shall retreat for today. Three days from now, this seat will personally lead the army to flatten the Northern Territory!"

With that, the Demon Abyss Lord led the remaining Demonic Cultivators and slowly retreated back into the Outer Realm Demonic Realm. The Devilish Qi gradually dissipated, and the sky returned to its previous color.

The battlefield finally quieted down. The ground was littered with the corpses of Demonic Cultivators and shattered weapons, and the air was filled with a thick stench of blood and Devilish Qi.

Bai Yunzhou slowly withdrew his cultivation technique. The injuries inside his body had already recovered by more than half under the effect of the Chaos Immortal characteristic. He walked up to Sword Sovereign Hanbing and Master Cangwu Zi, bowing deeply, "Many thanks to Senior and Sect Head for arriving in time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Sword Sovereign Hanbing waved his hand, his eyes filled with praise, "Yunzhou, you did very well. With your own strength, you killed three Void Refining Demonic Cultivators and defended the border, making a tremendous contribution."

Master Cangwu Zi also nodded and said, "Hall Master Bai's strength is extraordinary; the Chaos Green Lotus Body truly lives up to its reputation. With you here, the Northern Territory's chances of winning have increased by quite a bit."

"However, the Demon Abyss Lord's strength is extremely formidable, at the Void Refining Middle Stage cultivation. The battle in three days will be exceptionally tragic, and we need to make foolproof preparations."

Bai Yunzhou nodded and said in a deep voice, "Senior and Sect Head, rest assured. We have already reinforced the spatial barrier and the defense Formation. Coupled with the Alliance reinforcements, we will surely be able to withstand the Demon Abyss Lord's attack."

"Next, we need to quickly clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, replenish Talismans and Medicinal Pills, and simultaneously strengthen our defenses while awaiting the decisive battle in three days."

Sword Sovereign Hanbing and Master Cangwu Zi gave their assent in unison and immediately issued orders. The Alliance soldiers and border soldiers worked together with a clear division of labor to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and replenish supplies.

Bai Yunzhou did not rest either. He circulated the Power of Chaos to purify the residual Devilish Qi on the battlefield while healing the wounded soldiers. The nourishing effect of the Power of Chaos was extremely excellent, allowing the injuries of many wounded soldiers to recover rapidly.

By the time the battlefield was cleaned up, it was already late at night. Bai Yunzhou, Sword Sovereign Hanbing, and Master Cangwu Zi held an emergency meeting in the tent to discuss the plan for the decisive battle in three days.

"The Demon Abyss Lord is formidable in strength, with a Void Refining Middle Stage cultivation, not to mention tens of thousands of Demonic Cultivator troops. Fighting head-on will likely incur a huge price." Master Cangwu Zi spoke first, his expression solemn.

Sword Sovereign Hanbing nodded and said, "Indeed. We need to formulate a meticulous plan, utilizing the spatial barrier and the defense Formation to exhaust the Demonic Cultivators' strength, and then look for an opportunity to slay the Demon Abyss Lord."

Bai Yunzhou pondered for a moment and said, "Senior and Sect Head's words are extremely true. I have a plan that can be divided into three steps."

"Step one: continue to reinforce the spatial barrier and the defense Formation, integrating more Power of Chaos and Xuanhuang power to enhance defense and purification capabilities."

"Step two: divide the Alliance soldiers into three routes. One route will be led by Senior, stationed in front of the spatial barrier to frontally resist the Demonic Cultivators' attack; one route will be led by Sect Head, launching a surprise attack from the flanks to slaughter the Demonic Cultivator commanders; and one route will be led by me as a surprise force, looking for an opportunity to slay the Demon Abyss Lord."

"Step three: utilize the suppression of the Law within the Chaos Domain to weaken the strength of the Demonic Cultivator army, while using the Xuanhuang power to purify the Devilish Qi, creating a favorable combat environment for our soldiers."

Hearing this, Sword Sovereign Hanbing and Master Cangwu Zi both nodded in agreement, "This plan is brilliant, with a clear division of labor. It can both frontally resist and flank-attack, while also seeking opportunities to slay the commander-in-chief."

"Let us act according to this plan! Starting tomorrow, we will split up to act, reinforce defenses, train soldiers, and make the final preparations before the decisive battle."

After the meeting ended, the three of them rested separately, conserving their energy to prepare for the ultimate decisive battle in three days.

Over the next three days, the border camp was a bustle of activity. Under the leadership of Sword Sovereign Hanbing, Master Cangwu Zi, and Bai Yunzhou, the soldiers reinforced defenses and trained tactics day and night.

Bai Yunzhou deeply integrated the Chaos Domain with the defense Formation, expanding the Law suppression range of the Formation to a hundred miles, capable of weakening the Demonic Cultivators' strength by fifty percent.

At the same time, he refined a large number of demon-breaking Talismans and soul-protecting Medicinal Pills, distributing them to every soldier to enhance their combat power and survivability.

Sword Sovereign Hanbing and Master Cangwu Zi also respectively imparted sword techniques and tactics to the soldiers, greatly enhancing the soldiers' strength and tacit understanding.

Three days later, before the first ray of morning sunlight had risen, earth-shaking horn sounds came from the Outer Realm Demonic Realm. The Demon Abyss Lord led an army of one hundred thousand Demonic Cultivators, arriving at the border once again.

This time, the lineup of the Demonic Cultivator army was even larger than before. Besides the one hundred thousand ordinary Demonic Cultivators, there were also a hundred Nascent Soul Stage demonic generals and ten Void Refining Early Stage demonic marshals, with an overwhelming Aura.

The Demon Abyss Lord stood at the front of the army, the Devilish Qi around his body solidifying like substance. In his hand, he held a black demonic sword—it was his natal demonic artifact, the Soul-Destroying Demonic Sword.

"Human Cultivators, today is your day of death!" The Demon Abyss Lord's voice exploded like thunder, "Break through the border, flatten the Northern Territory, and kill all humans!"

One hundred thousand Demonic Cultivators let out earth-shaking roars, and Devilish Qi soared into the sky. The sky was dyed dark purple once more, and the ancient runes on the spatial barrier flickered violently, bearing immense pressure.

Bai Yunzhou, Sword Sovereign Hanbing, and Master Cangwu Zi stood in front of the defense Formation. The Alliance soldiers had also assembled completely, with the three routes of troops waiting in full battle array, their morale like a rainbow.

"Soldiers, today's battle concerns the survival of the Northern Territory. Only by fighting to the death can we protect our home and our people!" Bai Yunzhou shouted loudly, his voice spreading across the entire battlefield.

"Fight to the death! Protect the Northern Territory!" The Alliance soldiers shouted in unison, their voices shaking the firmament, forming a sharp contrast with the roars of the Demonic Cultivators.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the Demon Abyss Lord's eyes. Waving the Soul-Destroying Demonic Sword, the one hundred thousand Demonic Cultivators surged like a tide toward the spatial barrier and the defense Formation.

"Attack!"

Following the Demon Abyss Lord's command, the Demonic Cultivator army launched a fierce assault. Black Devilish Qi intertwined with various demonic techniques and demonic artifacts, hammering toward the defense Formation like a black rainstorm.

The light curtain of the defense Formation trembled violently. The cyan-gray Chaos halo and the golden Xuanhuang power intertwined, struggling to resist the Demonic Cultivators' attacks while purifying the constantly encroaching Devilish Qi.

"Frontal troops, full defense!" At Sword Sovereign Hanbing's command, the first route of troops circulated spiritual power, injecting it into the defense Formation, causing the light of the light curtain to surge instantly.

Master Cangwu Zi led the second route of troops, quietly circling out from the flank. The Cangwu Sword Intent surged, piercing straight into the flank of the Demonic Cultivator army and slaughtering the Demonic Cultivators rushing in the front.

Bai Yunzhou led the third route of elite soldiers, concealing themselves behind the defense Formation. Chaos Perception was fully deployed, searching for an opportunity to slay the Demon Abyss Lord.

The battlefield instantly plunged into a white-hot state. Battle cries, explosions, and screams intertwined, changing the color of heaven and earth and dulling the sun and moon.

The Demonic Cultivator army was numerous and fearless of death. Even though the purification power of the defense Formation continuously killed Demonic Cultivators, a steady stream of Demonic Cultivators still rushed up, and the light of the curtain gradually dimmed.

Ten Void Refining Early Stage demonic marshals struck simultaneously, ten huge demonic techniques piercing straight at the defense Formation. The light curtain instantly became covered in cracks, clearly unable to hold on much longer.

"Flank troops, pin down the demonic marshals!" Master Cangwu Zi shouted loudly, leading the second route of troops to charge toward the ten demonic marshals. The Cangwu Sword Intent collided with the demonic techniques, erupting into an earth-shattering loud sound.

Sword Sovereign Hanbing also led the elites of the first route of troops rushing out of the defense Formation, engaging in a fierce battle with the demonic marshals. The Ice Soul Sword Intent and Devilish Qi intertwined, slaughtering the demonic generals around the demonic marshals.

Seeing this, Bai Yunzhou knew the time had come. He led the third route of elite soldiers, transforming into a cyan-gray stream of light as they sped toward the Demon Abyss Lord.

"Human Cultivator, how dare you!" Sensing Bai Yunzhou's intent, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in the Demon Abyss Lord's eyes. Waving the Soul-Destroying Demonic Sword, a huge demonic blade pierced straight at Bai Yunzhou.

Bai Yunzhou's gaze turned cold, and the Chaos Domain was fully deployed. The Law suppression weakened thirty percent of the demonic blade's power, while the Chaos Xuanhuang Shield condensed, blocking the attack of the demonic blade.

Boom! The demonic blade slashed onto the shield, and the shield shattered instantly. Bai Yunzhou was shaken back repeatedly, spitting blood from his mouth, but he did not stop, continuing to charge toward the Demon Abyss Lord.

"Chaos Sword Dao: Myriad Techniques Return to One, Ancient Xuanhuang!"

With an angry roar, Bai Yunzhou burned his own essence blood. The power of the Chaos Green Lotus Body surged drastically, and the liefeng sword slashed out an ultimate sword Aura fusing ancient Sword Intent, Xuanhuang power, and the Power of Chaos.

The sword Aura was a hundred feet long, intertwined with cyan-gray, gold, and archaic bronze colors. Exuding the dual Aura of destruction and purification, it pierced straight at the Demon Abyss Lord's vital points.

The Demon Abyss Lord's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Bai Yunzhou to be able to burst forth with such terrifying power and dared not be careless. He waved the Soul-Destroying Demonic Sword with all his might, condensing Devilish Qi into a huge demonic shield while burning his demonic core to enhance his own combat power.

Boom! The ultimate sword Aura collided with the demonic shield, producing an earth-shattering loud sound. The demonic shield shattered instantly, and the remaining momentum of the sword Aura did not diminish as it pierced straight into the Demon Abyss Lord's chest.

"No——!" The Demon Abyss Lord let out a shrill scream. His body was pierced through by the sword Aura, and his demonic core was completely purified by the Power of Chaos and Xuanhuang power, his Aura withering instantly.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bai Yunzhou rushed forward. The liefeng sword pierced into the Demon Abyss Lord's glabella once more, and the Power of Chaos surged in, completely shredding his Divine Soul to annihilation.

The Demon Abyss Lord's corpse slowly collapsed. Seeing their commander-in-chief killed, the one hundred thousand Demonic Cultivators instantly suffered a collapse in morale. No longer possessing their previous ferocity, they turned around one after another, wanting to escape.

"Soldiers, pursue the victory! Slaughter all Demonic Cultivators and purge the Outer Realm remnants!" Bai Yunzhou shouted loudly, leading the third route of troops to chase down the fleeing Demonic Cultivators.

Sword Sovereign Hanbing and Master Cangwu Zi also led the army to launch a general attack. The three routes of troops were like fierce tigers descending the mountain, slaughtering the fleeing Demonic Cultivators, and the number of Demonic Cultivators on the battlefield rapidly decreased.

This fierce battle lasted for a full day until the setting sun went down. The Demonic Cultivators opposite the border were completely purged, and not a single one of the one hundred thousand Demonic Cultivator army survived.

The battlefield was a complete mess, with the corpses of Demonic Cultivators piled up like mountains. The Devilish Qi was completely purified by the Power of Chaos and Xuanhuang power, and the sky returned to a clear blue.

Bai Yunzhou slowly withdrew his sword, the Chaos halo around his body receding, and his Aura somewhat withered. The consumption from burning his essence blood and the intense battle left him extremely exhausted.

However, looking at the battlefield and the surviving soldiers, a gratified smile appeared on his face. In this decisive battle, they had won, and the border of the Northern Territory was defended.

Sword Sovereign Hanbing and Master Cangwu Zi walked to Bai Yunzhou's side, their eyes filled with praise and admiration, "Yunzhou, you have made an epoch-making contribution, slaying the Demon Abyss Lord and saving the Northern Territory!"

Bai Yunzhou shook his head, his voice somewhat hoarse, "This is not my achievement alone; it is the result of the joint efforts of all the soldiers. Without everyone fighting to the death, there would be no victory today."

"We paid a huge price, and quite a few soldiers remained on the battlefield forever. They are the true heroes."
