第四千零四十七章 勇不可挡

The thunderous sounds continued to reverberate in his ears, with beams of various colors flashing through the sky. The primordial qi and energy of heaven and earth surged and clashed incessantly, but such mutual attacks could not go on forever.

As one of the hundred arts of cultivation, an array formation was indeed incredibly wondrous, yet it consumed vast amounts of crystal stones. Over time, even though the demonic aura still shone brilliantly, it was clear that it was gradually weakening.

Both sides were well-prepared, and this round of mutual attacks left neither party with any advantage over the other.

As time passed, the intensity of the attacks began to diminish. Suddenly, a mournful horn sounded, and the fog of demons surged. The surface of the demon shell mountain, which had appeared as impenetrable as an iron bucket, now revealed several large gates.

Each gate was more than ten thousand feet tall, and with the rumbling sounds, they opened wide, releasing surging demonic energy.

The demonic energy flickered with countless域外天魔, wielding various magical treasures and artifacts. They roared and rushed forward.

Wishing to engage in close combat?

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. Although the域外天魔 were defenders of the city, it didn't mean they would only be on the receiving end. These creatures were vicious and ruthless. Now, they were playing an active offensive strategy, which was arrogant and overbearing, far surpassing his expectations.

On this side, there was no way to retreat; otherwise, their morale would suffer a significant blow.

"Where is Little Swallow?"

"Disciple respectfully follows the Master's instructions!"

A fragrant breeze wafted as a beautiful young girl approached Lin Xuan. She saluted and bowed with great respect on her face.

"You will lead our disciples to block this wave of域外天魔."

Lin Xuan spoke coldly, for the first battle was crucial for morale. These域外天魔 must be among the best, so he could not afford any carelessness. He dispatched his favored disciple.

"Yes!"

Shangguan Yan did not hesitate either. However, as soon as she agreed, another fragrant breeze came, and several more young girls appeared beside her.

"Shangguan Ling."

"Ifxuan."

"Ice Phoenix."

"We request to take on the challenge," they said in unison.

The three girls had formed a deep bond during their last mission together.

"Very well!"

Lin Xuan agreed with great enthusiasm. This wave of域外天魔 was more than he expected, and relying solely on Cloud Concealment Sect's strength would be incredibly difficult to handle. Since these three girls were willing to team up against the enemy, Lin Xuan was overjoyed; it increased their chances of victory.

With the order from the alliance leader, the four young women led their sect's elite disciples forward to engage the域外天魔.

Before they could get close, each had already summoned their life-bound treasures. The sounds of clashing treasure resounded like raindrops on banana leaves.

As soon as they touched, continuous cries filled the air, and blood and gore covered the sky. This scale of battle was entirely different from one-on-one combat; it required not only strength but also luck and foresight. Otherwise, even if your strength was outstanding, you might be surrounded by several peers and fall to your death.

Many powerful cultivators fell on both sides. The stronger they were, the more likely they would draw attention.

However, there were no absolutes. Lin Xuan's two disciples were unstoppable.

Shangguan sisters had innate talents, and their master was wealthy and generous, so they received countless spirit pills and elixirs. Thus, not only did they outpace their peers in cultivation speed, but their foundations were also extremely solid.

No… such descriptions fell far short; to them, same-level opponents were like tofu.

The two girls unleashed the Soul of Thunder and Ice Spirit, while one controlled the如意手镯. Any域外天魔 that stood before them almost instantly perished, with no one able to withstand even a single blow.

And this was not just limited to them.

Ifxuan and Ice Phoenix were equally formidable.

One wielded sword light in broad strokes, creating countless waves of blood and gore, while the other moved swiftly, turning all域外天魔 into various-sized ice blocks wherever they went.

The four girls fought with such indomitable courage that the other cultivators and demons could not bear to appear weak. They fought bravely, and the域外天魔 began to retreat.

"一群废物!"

In the ancient demon palace, Void was enraged. Although the域外天魔 dispatched were not of the level of a Demon Sovereign, they were indeed elite warriors meant to boost their side's morale. Unexpectedly, this outcome had occurred.

"Avoid anger, these fellows have lost, and that is fine. Their purpose was merely to draw attention from the other side, so losing will make them more complacent," a sinister laugh echoed in his ears.

The speaker was an ancient demon of late-stage渡劫, appearing as a humanoid creature with stone-like skin, giving off the impression of a stone that had become a spirit through cultivation.

"Stone Demon, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you allowed these demons to lose?"

Void turned his head, his face filled with anger.

"Do not worry, my lord. I dare not擅自篡改 your orders. I only instructed the black stone demons to混在这队人马之中, and now they must be near Cloud Concealment Mountain."

"Black Stone Demon, you mean…"

A thoughtful expression appeared on Void's face as he laughed heartily: "Well done. Order more域外天魔 to attack and protect the subordinates of the Stone Demon Sovereign."

"Yes!"

---

Meanwhile, the four young women led the three factions' cultivators with soaring morale. As the域外天魔 began to falter, many reinforcements appeared.

"Leader, should we…"

"Do not panic; let's see what their plan is first," Lin Xuan said, making this decision because although there were many reinforcements for the域外天魔, his side could clearly handle them without rushing into a decision.

He extended his divine sense.

Unfortunately, in such a complex situation, even divine senses had limits.

Lin Xuan did not notice that among these域外天魔, many stone-like creatures were streaking towards Cloud Concealment Mountain. It was not his fault; the flying dust and debris of battle were normal occurrences, so even if Lin Xuan was clever, he would not pay extra attention to them.

These black stones varied in size. Some fell directly onto the protective barrier but others quietly entered it.

The protection of Mount Ten Thousand Levels was useless against these stones, and once they entered, they disappeared into the soil beneath the mountain.

As time passed, more and more of these stones merged with Cloud Concealment Mountain without anyone noticing. (To be continued...)
