第三千八百二十二章 全军覆没

It was as if ice and snow had been thrown into a fire. The terrifying attack failed to have any effect.

No... not just that.

The demonic qi of the two beings came into contact, and a deep blue flame appeared on Ice Soul's palm.

Following this, it spread up his arm until he was completely enveloped in the flames. "Boom" - the flames ignited him.

His mount could not escape either; the invincible Heavenly Outland Demon Lord turned into a blue fireball.

A mournful scream echoed throughout the entire city as the man and his steed charged towards the sky, rolling around while howling in agony.

The sound of "bang bang bang" filled their ears. He had collided with dozens of outland demons along the way, and none were spared; they all ignited upon contact.

The screams grew more chilling by the moment.

Other demons, shocked but also wary like avoiding a plague, retreated as a tide, allowing them to escape.

Though no new xisheng (immortal) appeared, those already enveloped in blue flames had no chance of rescue.

Even the weaker ones perished instantly; the powerful Heavenly Outland Demon Lord only lasted a few breaths before his screams ceased.

Not because he was extinguished, but because his soul had been completely refined and annihilated.

Silence reigned supreme!

Ancient demons and outland demons alike widened their eyes in disbelief.

The fallen one wasn't just any weakling; the two city lords of Crystal Cloud City were both slain by him. He possessed a realm and was at late-stage tribulation transmutation, making him one of the few powerful beings among the outland demons.

While his defeat by Ice Soul wasn't shocking in itself, it was... too shocking.

He had been defeated so thoroughly with just one move, before even using his treasure. This didn’t seem like a battle between equals; rather, it wascrush (overwhelming).

Ice Soul’s power was truly formidable.

After the shock subsided, the ancient demons erupted in cheers: "The Ancestral Lord is invincible."

"Princess Ice Soul's might shakes all three realms. Bow down to her."

...

Morale soared as they no longer thought of fleeing. Instead, they turned and fought with renewed vigor.

The situation reversed; the outland demons began to struggle against the onslaught.

This was not uncommon in a battle where quality mattered more than quantity.

Even though Ice Soul came alone, she had tilted the balance in favor of the ancient demons.

Seeing that the outland demons were wavering, Ice Soul did not revel in her success. Instead, she revealed a cruel smile: "Want to leave? What do you think this place is, a playground where you can come and go as you please?"

"Since you've come here, stay."

Before her words could fade away, she flicked her sleeves and a silver, shimmering treasure flew out.

At first glance, it resembled a fishing net. However, the malevolent aura it emitted was unsettling.

With a series of hand gestures, she cast spells from her fingertips, causing the air to glow with silver light. The net extended at an incredible speed, reaching far into the sky.

Towering demonic qi rose up, indicating another formidable treasure.

"Insane creatures! Let you taste the power of this Ancestral Lord's Heaven and Earth Net?"

With Ice Soul's shout, all outland demons found themselves trapped in a swamp from which they could not escape.

Was it a realm, an illusion, or a transformation of her treasure?

No one knew for sure. Soon, the Heaven and Earth Net devoured hundreds of weaker outland demons.

Did Ice Soul intend to exterminate them all? Kill so many outland demons single-handedly?

It sounded absurd, but before their eyes, she was doing just that.

They were being overpowered.

The outland demon lords roared in fury. They had no retreat now; though they feared, they couldn't be slaughtered like cattle.

"What are you afraid of? This woman is only one person. We have so many of us. Wear her down and we can kill her."

An outland demon lord said viciously.

"Right, let's fight to the death!"

...

This sentiment was echoed by other demons.

Instantly, demonic light flared up as countless attacks rained upon Ice Soul like hailstones.

The sheer force of it was terrifying just to watch.

But on Ice Soul’s face, a smile appeared: "Die!"

Her eyes remained clear; she seemed unaffected.

She raised her jade hand and flicked out starlight that met the strange demons head-on.

Screams echoed everywhere as Ice Soul, with one person, created an overwhelming start.

Despite their numbers, the outland demons were like moths to a flame.

This battle lasted for a day and night.

In this engagement, Crystal Cloud City did not fall. The outland demons surrounding it suffered heavy losses; nearly a million demon lords perished.

Only a few managed to escape.

Ice Soul’s reputation spread far and wide.

Almost all of these remarkable achievements were due to her alone.

Since the ancient seal was lifted, three realms had been plunged into a bleak era. In just a few days, over a hundred cities fell under demonic control, with countless deaths, even among powerful true demons.

In such a state, the demon realm was in disarray; it could be said that the demons were in a panic. The once fierce and combative ancient demons now fled at the sight of an enemy, which would have been considered impossible before.

If this continued, the entire demon realm might fall.

Under these circumstances, Crystal Cloud City’s victory became crucial. It proved that ancient demons weren’t soft targets and outland demons were not invincible; Hua demon's death was just a case of outnumbering, while true demon lords’ strength did not lag behind those of the outland demon lords.

The glorious outcome of this battle greatly boosted the morale of the demon realm, and Ice Soul gained countless praises. She was becoming known as the first among the saints.

Encouraged by Crystal Cloud City’s victory, ancient demons regained their courage; they no longer feared or fled from outland demons but faced them head-on in battle.

Though losses were heavy on both sides, it wasn't a one-sided affair for the outland demons. This improved the situation in the demon realm significantly.
