Valley of Doom, hundreds of thousands of cultivators gathered, with Flying Swords blanketing the sky, creating an unprecedented grand scene.
The valley was shrouded in poisonous fog, causing many cultivators to furrow their brows.
“The poisonous fog here even threatens Loose Immortals, you should all take a Detoxification Pill to prevent poisoning.”
The Elders distributed Detoxification Pills, and numerous disciples took them, rendering the fog harmless.
Hundreds of thousands of cultivators took a deep breath and made their way into the depths of the Valley of Doom.
“A Daluo Golden Immortal Rank Thousand-Legged Centipede!”
A disciple from a Holy Land spotted an eighteen-zhang-long Thousand-Legged Centipede, a formidable Great Demon of the Golden Immortal Realm, coiled around an Ancient Sky Tree.
Seeing the immense influx of human Cultivators, the centipede quickly burrowed underground to escape.
However, before it could fully burrow, a fierce Sword Qi descended from the sky, severing the Thousand-Legged Centipede in two and shattering its Demon Core!
An Elder from the Ancient Yun Family sheathed his Longsword.
For an Elder from the Ancient Yun Family, slaying a Daluo Golden Immortal Rank Demonic Insect was nothing significant.
The other Demonic Insects lurked quietly, casting the Valley of Doom into deathly silence.
The more silent it was, the more cautious everybody became.
The Demonic Insects in the Valley of Doom were uncountable, but now an eerie quiet pervaded the place, making everyone uneasy.
Deeper into the Valley of Doom, the poisonous fog worsened.
“Ah!”
A disciple from the Ancient Qian Family was flying over a swamp when suddenly, a Demonic Insect emerged and sprayed venom, instantly corroding the disciple from the Ancient Qian Family.
The Heavenly Immortal Rank disciple from the Qian Family turned to ashes in an instant.
“Evil beast, courting death!”
The Ancestor of the Ancient Qian Family, upon seeing a descendant slain, flew into a rage and channeled his Cultivation Technique, directing robust Palm Strength towards the swamp.
Boom!
The terrifying Palm Strength pounded the swamp, causing the mud within a hundred miles to splash chaotically and the formidable True Qi to exterminate all the Demonic Insects in the swamp!
“A Divine King Realm master?”
Zhao Wuyan was shocked to see the Ancestor from the Ancient Qian Family making a move.
This Ancestor from the Qian Family was actually a Divine King powerhouse.
“We must be cautious.”
Lu Changsheng was responsible for leading Elders and disciples below the Divine King Realm from Mount Taihua Sacred Land, constantly extending his Divine Sense, vigilant against the Ancient Demon Worms of the Valley of Doom.
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng’s consciousness stirred, and from the sheath on his back, the Divine Sword “Purple Lightning Clear Frost” flew out, striking towards the forest below, slaying hundreds of lurking Demonic Insects.
Hundreds of thousands of cultivators cleared their path of brambles and thorns, slaying Demonic Insects as they moved closer to the depths of the Valley of Doom.
Deeper into the Valley of Doom, the poisonous fog turned from dark purple to black, resembling the night.
Everyone stopped.
“Further ahead should be the lair of the Devouring Demon Worm. Everyone must be cautious. We will enter to slay the Devouring Demon Worm, and the rest will be responsible for holding off the insect horde.”
Qiongxiao Sword Maiden formed a sword-finger gesture with her left hand, and a blue Immortal Sword soared into the sky, its brilliance cleaving through the fog.
The poisonous fog rapidly dissipated under the radiance of the blue sword light, like snow melting under sunlight.
Mengchen Sword Maiden raised a green bronze bell and gently rang it, invigorating everyone’s spirits as if a divine elixir had been poured upon them.
The bronze bell radiated a green glow, impervious to all poisons and isolating them from the fog.
Zi Yun Sword Maiden took out a purple Jade Pendant that exuded a fragrant scent, and above her head, it transformed into a purple auspicious cloud, impervious to all laws.
The golden armor worn by Golden Armor Heavenly General Li Tiangang was itself a top-tier defensive Dao Artifact, unassailable by mere poisonous fog.
Four experts of the Heavenly Court joined forces to break into the lair of the Devouring Demon Worm.
“You all on the outside, hold back the other Ancient Demon Worms.”
The Ancient Ancestor from Mount Taihua Sacred Land then charged into the deepest part of the Valley of Doom.
The Old Sword Saint of Changliu Mountain, the Elders from the Ancient Yun Family, and the Elders from the Guanghan Palace, along with other peerless experts, successively entered the worm’s den alongside the four Heavenly Court powerhouses to besiege the Devouring Demon Worm.
The Devouring Demon Worm, an ancient beast from the dawn of creation ranked at the Demon King Level, might not be killed even by three Sword Maidens and a Golden Armor Heavenly General.
Every Holy Land and Prestigious Family dispatched at least one peerless expert to assist the four Heavenly Court powerhouses.
Lin Xuantong, the Everlasting Immortal from Changliu, the Saintess of Yaochi, Li Heng, and other leaders and Palace Masters of various forces, along with a host of Elders and Disciples, stood guard outside, ready to confront the Ancient Demon Worms from all directions.
Buzzing…
Chittering…
The previously silent Valley of Doom suddenly filled with the sounds of Demonic Insect wings vibrating and their skittering movements, erupting from all sides, making Zhao Wuyan’s scalp tingle.
Zhao Wuyan had gone through many life-and-death battles, but this relentless insect horde filled him with dread.
The Valley of Doom being one of the forbidden grounds of the Immortal Realm, served as the nest for these Ancient Demon Worms, whose numbers could only be measured in the trillions.
Even the weakest of the Demonic Insects, in great numbers, could exhaust and kill even Great Experts of the Human Race.
“Form up!”
Knowing that the Ancient Demon Worms were about to descend, Lu Changsheng ordered the Elders and disciples to form the Hook Chen Great Formation.
Lu Changsheng, holding the Hook Chen War Banner at the Formation’s core, with eighty Immortals and five thousand disciples arrayed in different positions, constituted the Hook Chen Great Formation.
The Elders of Mount Taihua Sacred Land had cultivated the “True Solar Fire Yuan Skills,” and the five thousand disciples, who had learned the Mnemonic Verse temporarily, merely needed to channel their True Qi into the Great Formation.
The unending tide of Ancient Demon Worms would undoubtedly overwhelm and kill any single Elder or disciple.
Forming a Great Formation could at least be effective.
“Ha!”
Eighty Immortal Elders channeled the “True Solar Fire Yuan Skills” as the Hook Chen Great Formation drew upon the Starforce of the Ziwei Ancient Star, with a ray of starlight descending and shaking the ground!
Waving the Hook Chen War Banner, a dreadful pressure descended, shattering the mountains below!
Even Lu Changsheng was astonished by the Hook Chen Great Formation’s might.
