Chapter 672 - 48: Demon Tide, Divine Incense, Shocking Thunder

The golden plates of her armor reflected a cold glint, lending a heroic air to the elegant and stately beauty.

"Annihilate the Celestial Demons!"

At the woman’s command, thousands of spiritual lights flared to life on the giant Floating Island. All the Life Soul Realm and Dharma Realm cultivators emerged from their Pocket World Spiritual Buildings, joining forces with Yang Yi and the other Tribulation Realm Great Powers to slaughter the Celestial Demons swarming outside.

The Demon Tide, a raging black tidal wave, was brought to a dead halt.

Yet from the massive rift in the sky, a ceaseless torrent of Celestial Demons continued to pour forth.

All manner of Divine Techniques and Magical Artifacts shot out from the three giant Floating Islands, continuously slaughtering the Celestial Demons. Occasionally, a colossal Celestial Demon thousands of feet long—comparable to a Tier Five Demon Beast—would break through the defensive line and charge into the sky above the islands. Even these were cut down by the combined might of the Tribulation Realm Great Powers.

The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda unleashed an immense golden light that enveloped all three Floating Islands. It could even shift through the void, causing the islands’ positions to constantly change as they intercepted the Demon Tide.

The Tribulation Realm Great Powers here knew full well that if they let the Demon Tide run rampant and surround the Treasure Tower Array, the demons would all self-detonate at once. The resulting blast of immeasurable demonic might would gradually wear down the array’s power.

Moreover, with the Demon Lord’s Divine Techniques, it wasn’t impossible for him to use the countless Celestial Demons to form a Grand Array and corrupt the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda itself.

Therefore, their only option was to kill.

To kill every Celestial Demon in sight.

From the very beginning, the great battle descended into endless slaughter.

The cultivators on the giant Floating Islands rested in shifts, seizing every available moment to recover their Magical Power.

Meanwhile, the Celestial Demons pouring from the void rift grew steadily stronger. At first, they were mainly Tier Three and Four, with an occasional Tier Five making an appearance.

But gradually, Tier Four Celestial Demons became the main force, and the number of Tier Five Celestial Demons increased dramatically.

On the seventh day, dozens of ferocious, thousand-foot-tall giant demons descended from the void rift all at once.

These Celestial Demons were as massive as mountains, ferocious and terrifying. They exuded a destructive, oppressive aura, and all of them were at the Tier Five level. With a thunderous rumble, they strode through the air, charging toward the Treasure Tower Array.

RUMBLE!

Someone unleashed a Profound Celestial Divine Thunder.

A heaven-shattering clap of thunder echoed through the void.

The cultivators on the three Floating Islands saw an endless, roiling expanse of Thunder Light materialize. Dazzling bolts of lightning filled every inch of their vision, blotting out everything else.

To their senses, it felt as if the very might of the heavens had descended. Endless, eternal, and unceasing, the lightning suddenly filled the firmament!

The sky grew dim as the sun and moon vanished. The heavens filled with a dense web of crackling thunder that stretched for hundreds of miles.

Between heaven and earth hung a thundercloud as vast as a mountain range. Inside it, Thunderous Giant Dragons danced and writhed, raising their heads in long, echoing roars.

Lightning danced between heaven and earth. Dazzling flashes pierced the golden light of the Treasure Tower Array, casting the three giant Floating Islands in a flickering, uncertain light.

Hundreds of purple thunderbolts slammed down from the void, as if heaven and earth were collapsing. The souls of the cultivators below the Tribulation Realm trembled, their ears ringing and their vision blurring.

Under this thunderous bombardment, the dense Demon Tide was the first to break. Countless Tier Three and Four Celestial Demons were blasted into ash.

The endless swarm of demonic creatures was wiped out in an instant!

The dozens of thousand-foot-tall giant demons, wreathed in Demonic Light, struggled to resist the thunder’s might, completely powerless to retaliate.

A few giant demons, their Demonic Light visibly weaker, were struck by dozens of thunderbolts in the blink of an eye and instantly obliterated, not even a trace of them left behind.

Around the mountain of thunder, lightning writhed like dragons and snakes, surging downward, shaking the void and making the very world scream.

One by one, the lightning turned its attention to the Tier Five giant demons.

Endless lightning fell, crushing them with irresistible force and utterly annihilating them.

In just a few moments, all dozens of the Tier Five giant demons had been annihilated by the Thunder Light.

But this was only the beginning.

More and more Tier Five giant demons began to appear.

All this time, the Demon Lord had yet to reveal himself.

The cultivators grew exhausted. The Tribulation Realm Cultivators on the three Floating Islands had to resort to their ultimate treasures, using them to continuously slay the attacking Celestial Demons.

The seven Profound Celestial Divine Thunders granted by the beautiful woman from the Mystic Sky Saint Sect were also exhausted, one by one.

Finally, Yang Yi and the others had no choice but to light the Yinglong Divine Incense.

On the giant Floating Island, seven sticks of Divine Incense were lit. At first, they produced only a single, thread-thin wisp of green smoke that curled gently upward.

But when the seven cultivators channeled their Magical Power in unison, the Divine Incense suddenly flared. Each stick erupted with a plume of green-and-white smoke that shot away from the island.

A piercing dragon’s cry echoed from the void.

The seven plumes of green-and-white smoke collided in the sky, exploding into a massive shower of radiant rain that scattered in all directions.

On the surface, the droplets of light seemed to disperse upon collision, but they were actually splitting and merging, vanishing and reappearing. They transformed into countless motes of Cold Green Essence Light that shot in unison toward the sky-spanning swarm of Celestial Demons.

Even Tier Five Celestial Demons could not withstand the assault. In an instant, they were riddled with holes and fell from the sky.

Smoke and fragrant light pulsed violently from the tips of the seven sticks of Yinglong Divine Incense as dragon cries echoed through the heavens. A torrential downpour of countless Cold Green Essence Light motes struck from every direction. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, the motes sensed one another, darting back and forth and colliding in a cascade that resembled a river of green rain flowing across the sky.

A massive swath of the Tier Five Celestial Demons, which had been swarming through the sky like a black cloud, instantly perished.

Seizing the opportunity, the cultivators on the three Floating Islands quickly took Spirit Pills to regulate their breathing and restore their Magical Power.

At this critical juncture, a grand, deep voice suddenly resounded between heaven and earth:

"Stand in my way and die."

As the voice faded, eight Heaven-Supporting Demon Aspects materialized around the Treasure Tower Array. Each one was shrouded in a ghostly mist, its true form impossible to discern. Their silhouettes alone, however, revealed their ferocious and savage nature. A monstrous, heart-stopping power radiated from them all.
