第三千八百四十四章 勇者无惧

Faced with such a formidable enemy and the relentless attacks of demonized beasts and域外天魔 from beyond the dimensional boundaries, the situation in Quemo City became extremely严峻.

A series of setbacks!

This phrase accurately described the ongoing siege. However, this time, despite all the preparations, the defenses of Quemo City proved futile against the continuous onslaught of the域外天魔.

Indeed, as time passed, the situation for Quemo City worsened. Layer upon layer of禁制 were breached, and the losses among cultivators increased dramatically.

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed through the air. A gigantic demon, resembling an ox, had managed to create a large breach in the eastern section of the city walls.

The other demons rejoiced. The shouts of battle intensified by more than double as all the域外天魔 rushed towards the vulnerabilities in the defenses with reckless abandon, hoping to break through and secure victory in one fell swoop.

But the cultivators within the city were not about to let them succeed so easily. Their strength was far inferior to that of the demons outside; relying on the禁制 and city walls allowed them to hold their ground, but if the demons breached those defenses, all would be lost.

As the core of the Immortal City's continuous array, Quemo City's fall would likely mark the end of resistance in the Wind痕界. Over a decade had passed since the域外天魔 opened a dimensional portal; many minor interfaces within the spirit realm had already fallen to their cruelty. These demons were even more vicious than those from the ancient demon world, leaving no survivors—either they were slaughtered or transformed and possessed.

This was why humans and beasts could put aside their grudges and reconcile with each other. Even if there had been deep-seated enmities before, they now shook hands in unity against this common enemy—the域外天魔.

Unity is strength!

With one minor interface's fall, they would follow suit.

Rather than face certain death or possession, it was better to fight until the end here and now. So when a section of the city wall was breached, the cultivators within Quemo City did not retreat but instead fought with red eyes, risking their lives in a desperate counterattack.

Blood for blood, life for life—this was the tactic that puppet cannon fodder would employ. But these Quemo City cultivators were truly determined to fight to the death. A condensation core stage cultivator dared to charge at an元婴级别的域外天魔 alone.

It was well-known that the strength of a demon from beyond the dimensional boundaries far exceeded that of a cultivator of the same rank. The元婴级别的域外天魔, taken aback by the courage of this individual, hesitated momentarily.

Was he insane?

But soon, his surprise turned to cruel amusement as he opened his hand, intending to crush him into dust. However, the condensation core stage cultivator did not dodge; instead, he unleashed his life-bonded treasure against the demon's outstretched hand.

Seeing the sharp flying sword hurtle towards him, a mocking smile appeared on the域外天魔's lips.

What a fool! Did he really think such a low-grade flying sword could harm me?

Even if I stood still, it couldn't cut through my body. But before this thought was fully formed, the flying sword struck his hand with a "boom."

Indeed, even with its protective demon energy, it failed to break through. The next moment, another loud explosion echoed as the flying sword self-destructed into dust.

Even an元婴级别的域外天魔 couldn't remain unscathed under such sudden and intense force without any preparation. It wasn't his carelessness; who could have predicted this outcome? For cultivators, their life-bonded treasures were of utmost importance—crafted with great effort and nurtured in the dantian.

While it was an exaggeration to say "the sword is me, I am the sword," many cultivators did indeed hold onto them until the very end. But this individual had taken a step beyond by challenging someone far above his rank from the start. And now, with his first move, he self-destructed his life-bonded treasure.

Despite taking only minor injuries, the元婴级别的域外天魔 was left shaken. The brave condensation core stage cultivator, however, spat blood non-stop as his life and essence were drained by the destruction of his life-bonded treasure.

"Idiot!"

The元婴级别的域外天魔 cursed, summoning more power to annihilate this audacious opponent who had dared to offend him. But seeing that he couldn't catch up, the cultivator charged directly at him.

Could it be…

His mind raced as he considered his opponent's actions. Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine. Without further thought, he tried to retreat, but his speed was no match for the cultivator's. In this moment, he found himself in an unassailable position.

Undeniably, the域外天魔's strategy was meticulous. But just as he settled into this advantageous stance, something unexpected happened. The condensation core stage cultivator suddenly opened his mouth and expelled a golden light the size of a fist from within.

Inside that golden light was a round pearl the size of an eyeball.

"Madman!"

The域外天魔's eyes widened in disbelief as he saw the cultivator spit out his hard-earned Golden Core, which contained all his life force and even three souls and seven spirits. If it missed its target, it would be a futile death with no chance for reincarnation.

He could have chosen an easier opponent to fight but instead sought his own demise…

Wasn't the path of immortality meant to seek more lives? Why did he choose this path?

With many questions unanswered, the元婴级别的域外天魔 found himself without any room to dodge. The Golden Core contained all the cultivator's life force and essence.

He must survive for the sake of humanity. He sacrificed himself for the entire human race.

"Boom!" A loud explosion echoed as the Golden Core struck the demon's head, penetrating his forehead.

If it were a human cultivator, such an injury would be fatal. But to the域外天魔, it was nothing more than a minor setback. However, fear etched across his face.

Another loud explosion echoed as his head exploded like a watermelon. The self-destruction of the Golden Core released immense power, and even without fully entering his body, an元婴级别的域外天魔 had no chance of survival.
