Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1544 - 959: Inviting the Green Vine Demon Slayer

Thud, thud, thud...

Thud, thud, thud...

As soon as the array shattered, the booming sound of war drums echoed within the city.

Thousands of cultivators charged toward the city walls.

Without the protection of the array, White Cloud Immortal City had become prey at the mercy of others, but this prey was poisonous.

Within the city, there were still tens of thousands of cultivators and hundreds of thousands of martial artists. Even when facing an army of tens of thousands of demon beasts and mutant beasts, White Cloud Immortal City still had the strength to fight.

Yet, without a Golden Core Cultivator to oversee, White Cloud Immortal City was destined for defeat.

Giant demon beasts and mutant beasts climbed onto the city walls, while cultivators chanted spells or wielded magical treasures, swiftly engaging in an intensely fierce battle.

The aerial battle continued. After the protective array shattered, Cloud Sea, with bloodshot eyes and a deathly pale face, rushed out from the White Cloud Dao Field.

"Beasts, today this old man will perish with you all!"

He roared furiously.

"Just you!" The Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King looked at him with disdainful round eyes.

Cloud Sea glanced at it with hatred and suddenly took out an elixir and swallowed it whole, then another, and another, swallowing nine elixirs in a row.

Soon, a chaotic and violent aura emanated from his body.

Boom~~

A large drum appeared in front of him, and he raised two drumsticks high, pounding them frantically.

Thud, thud, thud~~~

The drumbeats were dense and urgent, and in an instant, thousands of lightning serpents danced madly toward the Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King, resembling an enormous pale tree.

Seeing this, the Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King roared angrily, a layer of yellow-brown stone armor appearing on its body, while thousands of stone spears shot out from its mouth.

Cloud Sea continued to beat the drum while charging at the Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King.

Originally over a hundred feet apart, in the blink of an eye, Cloud Sea had already reached the Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King’s face.

The Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King wasn’t alarmed or surprised, but rather a bit mocking.

"You’re courting death!"

Cloud Sea glared at it with fiery eyes, charging at it without hesitation, "Even in death, I will drag you down with me!"

Suddenly, the Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King had an ominous feeling.

But facing the willingly approaching Cloud Sea, it still opened its blood-red maw, intending to swallow Cloud Sea whole.

It could even swallow thunderclouds, let alone a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Such a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was nothing but a great tonic to it, posing no threat and even aiding in boosting its cultivation.

Cloud Sea did not dodge, actively throwing himself into the tiger’s maw.

Facing the abyssal maw, not only did he not retreat at all, but he also laughed maniacally.

"Haha~~"

"If you want my life, don’t think you’ll get away unscathed!"

His voice was filled with final madness.

The next moment, he was swallowed by the Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King.

The Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King shook its head and smacked its lips, "Now that you’re in my belly, let’s see how you can still act tough!"

It didn’t notice anything unusual, devouring everything was its innate talent. Eating a Foundation Establishment Cultivator simply wouldn’t cause it any adverse outcome, even if that cultivator was severely poisoned, it wouldn’t affect it.

Because its way of devouring wasn’t conventional eating, it swallowed things into its Divine Power Space, then used its divine skills and mana to digest the spiritual energy and power, converting them into its own mana.

So even poisonous items wouldn’t affect it.

Just when it thought there was no problem, the sky suddenly dimmed again, thick clouds roiling and converging, obscuring the sun in the blink of an eye.

"What’s going on?"

The Golden-winged Eagle Demon King, preparing to rampage within the city, looked at the sky in astonishment. It glanced around, finding the city’s great array hadn’t been reactivated.

The sudden thundercloud left many puzzled.

But soon, the Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King understood the origin of the thunderclouds.

"Tribulation clouds! Damn it!"

The Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King roared furiously.

In the dim space, Cloud Sea sat cross-legged, emitting a terrifying aura, wild spiritual energy surging within him, as if it could tear him apart anytime, while the surrounding strange divine skills and mana were continuously eroding the spiritual energy he was releasing.

He wasn’t dead yet!

Though swallowed by the Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King, he wouldn’t die immediately. As long as his mana wasn’t completely exhausted, he wouldn’t die.

Of course, this was a short amount of time. With the Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King’s divine skills and mana, it would take just a quarter-hour to wear him down to residue, devoid of spiritual energy.

But this quarter-hour was his leverage to perish together with the Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King.

Because he had triggered his own Golden Core Thunder Tribulation, under such a tribulation, even for a Demon King, it was extremely dangerous, a slight misstep leading to doom.

Seeing the tribulation clouds in the sky, the Golden-winged Eagle Demon King flew away in fright.

Damn, it’s a Golden Core Thunder Tribulation.

Demon beasts must pass through thunder tribulations to become a Demon King too.

Compared to cultivators, demon beasts find overcoming tribulations even more challenging because they’re not skilled in arrays or using magical treasures; they merely prepare a few restorative and healing spiritual objects, then withstand the tribulation.

The Golden-winged Eagle Demon King could flee, but the Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King could not, as Cloud Sea was inside its stomach.

Crack~~

A pale lightning pillar descended, striking the Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King hard like a thunder dragon.

In an instant, the Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King plummeted from the sky like a meteor, crashing into the Immortal City.

The dust rose, bricks and tiles shattered, large sections of buildings collapsed, as though the whole Immortal City was trembling.
