Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Chaos at the Demon-locking Tower, The Strong Make Their Move, The Great Battle Begins
Paper Fan Young Master’s face was iron blue.
He touched the new headpiece on his head, remembering the image of it being smashed by Hu Feifei, anger rising in his heart.
“Are you ready? When will we attack the Misty Sect?”
Paper Fan Young Master said with irritation.
The old Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect hastily replied:
“Young Master, rest assured, the seal on the Underground Cavern Alien Race has been broken, our reinforcements have appeared, and moreover, with the Sect Masters of the Four Two-Star Forces advancing to the Divine Origin Realm, our opportunity has also arrived.”
“Oh?” Paper Fan Young Master’s eyes sharpened, “You have quite the gall to even think of devouring the Four Great Divine Origin Realms. Aren’t you afraid of bursting from excess?”
“Only by doing this can we further strengthen the Meat Mountain Monster and gain the absolute power to crush the Misty Sect.”
The old Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect smirked darkly.
The Meat Mountain Monster possessed a Divine Skill.
Once cast, it could merge Divine Origin Realm experts into its body, turning them into its own source of strength.
This method was much faster than forcibly breaking down Divine Origin Realm experts and saved a lengthy refining process.
Furthermore, it could assimilate the Divine Origin Realm experts devoured within itself, serving as an incubator for cultivating brand new Meat Mountain Monsters.
As a member of the Prophet Clan, Paper Fan Young Master naturally knew this.
He gently waved his paper fan and said, “No matter how you plan to increase your strength, the most important thing at this stage is to quickly flatten the Misty Sect for me.”
The old Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect’s expression changed, “We must plan for the long term… My plan is to first devour the newly advanced Divine Origin Realm experts from the Four Two-Star Forces, and once our strength is powerful enough, then attack the Misty Sect.”
“Fine.” Paper Fan Young Master nodded.
With the current strength of the Meat Mountain Monster, he indeed found it difficult to deal with the two Divine Origin Realm experts of the Misty Sect.
Especially Ye Feng, who was unfathomable and had never shown his true strength in front of others. He must be treated with caution.
“Then, for the first step, which Divine Origin Realm expert from the Two-Star Forces do you plan to devour?” Paper Fan Young Master asked.
“Naturally it’s the Divine Wind Sword Sect.”
The old Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect chuckled slyly, “After all, my son has been lurking in the Divine Wind Sword Sect for so many years, it’s time to reel in the net.”
“Hmmph, then I must see how you are going to wrap up this big net you’ve spread out for years,” Paper Fan Young Master said, standing with his hands behind his back, watching.
Whoosh!
The old Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect stood atop the Meat Mountain Monster and waved his hand grandly, “Everyone, activate the Evil Qi Formation, activate all Demon-locking Towers, the total assault… has begun!”
“Yes.”
Twelve Supreme Elders each sat on a huge stone pillar, biting their fingertips, inscribing ancient runes on their faces.
Hum!
Fierce beams of light erupted from their foreheads, interwoven with one another, forming a formation that seemed to come from ancient times, drawing the Heavenly and Earthly Elemental Energy around them and connecting the Demon-locking Towers they had built.
Baisha Ancient Town.
People pointed at the Demon-locking Tower spewing black Evil Qi into the sky, all with shocked expressions.
Alongside Flowing Water River.
Li Hanshao and Wu De were lying on a recliner when they suddenly noticed that the nearby Demon-locking Tower began to tremble, emitting a blackish-gray stream of gas with a sinister human face faintly visible within.
“What… what a terrifying feeling!”
“What in the world is going on?”
Li Hanshao and Wu De abruptly swallowed hard.
Within the Southern River Basin.
All Demon-locking Towers built by the Divine Wind Sword Sect and the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect began to erupt with Evil Qi, forming a sinister human face in the sky that quickly dissipated and converged in the direction of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect.
In the sky.
The old Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect, standing on the Meat Mountain Monster, entered the area filled with blackish-grey clouds of Evil Qi.
“Eh, why is there so much less Evil Qi than expected?”
The old Sect Master was surprised.
People from all the major forces within the Southern River Basin noticed the anomaly with the Demon-locking Towers and were also drawn to the Evil Qi sweeping across the sky.
Sword King Sect.
Chief disciple Jiang Baige looked up at the sky, furrowing his swordlike brows,
“Do you sense that something big is about to happen?”
A figure shrouded in the light of swords approached slowly, making a clanging sound.
“Disciple pays respect to the Sect Master,” Jiang Baige hurriedly bowed deeply in salute.
“This crisis, I’m afraid even I cannot stop it! Looking at this situation, the first battle seems to be headed for the Divine Wind Sword Sect,” the Sword King Sect’s Sect Master sighed deeply.
Jiang Baige felt a chill in his heart, “Sect Master, aren’t you going to support them?”
“Go, of course I must go.”
The Sword King Sect’s Sect Master nodded slightly, leaped into the air, and transformed into a dazzling sword light that streaked across the sky, instantly surpassing five times the speed of sound.
County King City.
Commandery Prince Shu Qianjun stood beside his daughter Shu Hongyu and patted her shoulder, saying, “My daughter, if your father does not return from this journey, you will be the Commandery Prince, so try to be happy.”
With that, he instantly broke through five times the speed of sound, speeding towards the Divine Wind Sword Sect.
“Father King, please don’t go!”
Shu Hongyu wanted to chase after him, but as she reached out her hand, that towering figure had already gone far away.
Her nose tingled, and she felt an inexplicable sadness.
Just moments ago, Commandery Prince Shu Qianjun had told her that today there would be a fierce battle, one of Divine Origin Realm level, where ordinary people wouldn’t even qualify to participate in the fight.
Therefore, he decided to rush alone to the battle thousands of miles away.
If he were not to return, then he would never return!
“I don’t want to be some damn Commandery Prince!” Shu Hongyu, leaning on the railing, slowly knelt down, quietly sobbing.
Myriad Islands Alliance.
“Ah, it has finally come. I wonder if the four of us from the Great Divine Origin Realms can suppress those demons,” Mo Tianlong said, his eyes devoid of ripples.
Even having cut off his darker side, facing this no-win battle, he didn’t frown.
“My daughter, your father must leave too!”
Mo Tianlong transformed into a blue giant dragon, covering kilometers in a blink, and gradually accelerating, soon surpassing five times the speed of sound.
“Father King!”
Mo Minxi also wanted to follow, but was promptly stopped by an extended hand from the Blue Dragon King.
“Young Alliance Leader, this battle is extraordinary, a fight at the Divine Origin Realm level. In the entire Southern River Basin, there are no more than a handful of people qualified to participate. If we go, we will only add to the chaos,” the Blue Dragon King said solemnly.
“Sigh…”
Min Xi felt helpless, looking towards the Misty Sect with speculation, “Do you think he will take action too?”
The Blue Dragon King paused and said, “Sect Master Ye, with natural creation at his command, and protected by the powerful Princess Hu Feifei, both formidable beings, will surely not stand idly by, will they?”
…
The eruption from the Demon-locking Tower, with its evil Qi spreading across the sky, shocked everyone in the Southern River Basin.
As they looked up at the sky, a palpable dread of the heavens falling upon them took hold.
Divine Wind Sword Sect.
Elders’ Peak.
The Divine Wind Sword Sect’s Great Elder stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the evil Qi converging towards the Black Stone Wasteland, feeling extremely pleased.
“It has finally started. With this, I must also prepare to take action,” he said.
The Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect raised his hand, and a spike made of concentrated evil Qi appeared in his palm.
This object targeted the Primordial Spirit.
Even if a Great Power of the Divine Origin Realm were to be taken by surprise and struck, the evil Qi would enter the body, cause mental confusion, and greatly diminish combat strength.
This was left to him by the old Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect; at the critical moment, he would use it to launch a surprise attack on the Sect Master of the Divine Wind Sword Sect, aiming to severely injure him first.
Then, the plan to attack the Divine Wind Sword Sect would proceed smoothly.
Gurgle…
The sound of someone drinking and the scent of wine wafted over, accompanied by the sound of hiccuping.
“Hmm?”
The Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect immediately hid the evil Qi spike and looked towards the source of the noise, only to see a scruffy old man lying next to a stone, holding a wine gourd, from which fragrant wine flowed out and spilled onto the ground.
“Old Demon Ding, it’s you!”
The Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect’s gaze sharpened.
