311: A thunderbolt from the sky! It shocked the entire audience!

The order was quickly issued.

Immediately, a joint assault team composed of Formation masters, rune experts, and top combatants stepped forward.

They each used their own methods: spiritual energy beams, Daoist Talismans, ancient martial arts Protective Aura, elemental impacts... all sorts of powerful attacks bombarded the same point on the dark red Barrier like a violent storm!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Deafening explosions rang out one after another, the light from the energy collision so bright it was blinding.

However, the dark red Barrier only rippled violently in circles.

The ghostly phantoms on the surface let out sharp, piercing shrieks, yet it remained as steady as a mountain, with no sign of breaking!

"It's no use! The curse Laws contained in this Barrier are too strong; most of our attacks are being eroded or deflected!" a Formation master shouted, his face pale.

"The difference in energy levels is too great; we can't shake this Barrier at all!" a Formation expert's face turned white as a trace of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it! Are we just going to watch them complete the ritual?" a family head roared unwillingly.

Just then—

"Roar—!!!"

From inside the Barrier, a deafening roar suddenly rang out!

Following that, the surface of the Barrier rippled like water, and over a hundred black figures charged out boldly!

They were the elite Abyssal Demons guarding the valley!

They took various forms: some looked like rotting giant beasts, while others remained somewhat humanoid but were covered in black mist.

The aura of each one had reached at least the Sixth-Tier Peak.

The leaders among them even emitted the terrifying fluctuations of the Seventh-Tier!

"Human ants! How dare you disturb the Master's ritual? You're looking for death!"

One of them, over five meters tall and shaped like a giant mantis...

The demon, with forelimbs like two pitch-black scythes, let out a sharp mental roar.

Its compound eyes swept over the crowd, filled with undisguised contempt and killing intent.

"With your meager cultivation, you think you can break the 'Ten Thousand Grudges Barrier' set up by the Master? Wishful thinking!"

"Get lost now, and perhaps we'll leave your corpses intact!"

"Otherwise, we'll extract your Souls and use them as nourishment for the ritual!"

The other demons also let out ear-piercing cackles, their hideous faces filled with cruelty.

"Jie jie jie... Stupid humans, to dare disturb the sacred ritual of His Majesty, the Lord of Curses, you don't know the meaning of death!"

"Once the Master's divine technique reaches Major Achievement, he will surely extract and refine all your Souls, forcing you to endure the pain of a heart-devouring curse for eternity!"

"These humans look delicious; I really want to taste them."

They clearly knew there was a human team outside and had appeared now.

It was both to prevent the Barrier from being broken and to slaughter and intimidate.

However, the human side was not intimidated.

A young woman dressed in white martial arts attire, with an ancient sword on her back and an aura as cold as snow, stepped forward.

She was the most outstanding Disciple of this generation from Kunlun Ruins—Ling Shuang.

She pointed her sword at the demons, her voice crisp yet carrying a biting chill:

"Evil-doers, do not be so arrogant! This is the territory of our Human Race; how can we allow you to run wild!"

"Today is the day you Abyssal filth shall be annihilated!"

Behind her, the members of the Spiritual Energy Bureau Special Ops Team stepped forward together, each bursting with powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.

The experts from various Sects also brandished their weapons and Magic Treasures. Buddhist light, Daoist charms, Sword Qi... all sorts of auras soared into the sky, contending with the Abyssal Evil Energy.

"The Abyss has invaded our land and harmed our compatriots; today is the time for your execution!"

A young man with an ethereal aura and an ancient sword on his back spoke coldly; he was the chief Disciple of this generation from the Shushan Sword Sect—Jian Wuhen.

"Why bother talking to these evil spirits? Just slay them!" Another burly Body Cultivator from Kunlun grinned, his muscles bulging and emitting an aura like a prehistoric Vicious Beast.

"Arrogant!"

Hearing this, the demon leader was also enraged, its scythe-like forelimbs suddenly crossing and slashing out!

"Tear them apart!"

"Kill—!!!"

Both sides moved almost simultaneously!

In an instant, various energy lights exploded outside Soul Burial Valley!

The top human experts and the elite Abyssal Demons collided instantly!

Sword light tore through the sky, Talismans turned into thunder and fire, Protective Aura shattered mountains and rocks, and Evil Energy corroded everything!

Spells clashed, energy exploded, Sword Qi crisscrossed, and demonic shadows loomed!

The entire battlefield instantly turned into a meat grinder, with intense collisions occurring every second.

Rocks flew everywhere, and the ground cracked.

Shockwaves swept out wildly!

The logistics and blockade personnel in the distance watched with trepidation, feeling both nervous and excited.

"So strong! Fairy Ling Shuang's sword technique is simply superb!"

"The Old Celestial Master's Five Thunder Rectification Technique is indeed overbearing!!"

"Look! Family Head Zhao's Overlord Spear actually pierced through a Sixth-Tier demon with one thrust!"

"Is this the true foundation of our Dragon Country?! It's so shocking!"

The battle was exceptionally fierce, as the human experts relied on their tacit cooperation and endless means.

They actually fought back and forth with the demons, who were equal in number and formidable in individual strength, temporarily forming a stalemate!

Everyone was giving their all.

Because they knew that every second delayed brought the ritual in Soul Burial Valley one step closer to completion!

However, under the desperate resistance of these Abyssal Demons, their efforts yielded little result, and they were completely unable to advance.

At this moment of stalemate—

"Boom—!!!"

At the end of the horizon, a piercing blood-red stream of light created a sonic boom, rapidly approaching the battlefield at an unfathomable speed!

Following that—

"Rumble—!!!!!"

A terrifying thunderclap, as if splitting heaven and earth, exploded in the sky without warning!

A terrifying bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, condensed to the extreme, emitting a majestic heavenly might, and appearing deep purple throughout!

Like the judgment spear of a God King of the Nine Heavens, it tore through the clouds.

With a speed beyond thought, it struck with pinpoint accuracy into the very center of the battlefield, right into the densest and most vociferous group of demons!

"Ah—!!!!!"

The demons only had time to let out half a short, desperate shriek.

The next second—

"Rumble—!!!!!!!"

The purple lightning exploded violently!

The blinding thunderlight instantly swallowed everything!

The destructive lightning energy swept wildly in all directions like a tsunami!

Any demon caught in the thunderlight, whether Sixth-Tier or Seventh-Tier, had its body instantly vaporized, decomposed, and annihilated!

Not even a trace of residue was left!

A giant crater dozens of meters in diameter was cleared out at the center of the explosion!

The battle situation, which had been in a stalemate just a second ago, was instantly broken!

Those elite demons, who had been fighting on par with the human experts and whose arrogance was sky-high...

More than half of them were instantly killed by this single bolt of heavenly thunder!

Silence!

A deathly silence instantly enveloped the battlefield!

Whether it was the human experts or the surviving demons, they all froze in place!

They maintained their fighting stances, their faces filled with unparalleled shock, horror, and bewilderment!

This... what kind of power is this?!

A single bolt of lightning... insta-killed dozens of high-tier demons?!

And just then, a figure descended from the sky like a falling star.

"Boom—!!!!!"

It crashed heavily into the center of the battlefield, at the edge of the giant crater that had just been cleared by the lightning.

The dust slowly dispersed.

A charred giant crater over twenty meters in diameter appeared on the ground.

Jumping purple electric arcs still remained in the pit, making light "crackle" sounds.

And at the edge of the pit, a figure dressed in casual clothes was slowly straightening up.

He brushed off the non-existent dust on his shoulder, raised his eyes, and scanned the scene with a calm gaze.

Looking at the dumbfounded human experts and the remaining demons who were scared out of their wits.

"Yo, looks quite lively here."

"It seems I've arrived just in time!"

Chen Nian spoke softly, his tone as casual as if he were just passing by and saying hello.

The entire scene: "..."
