Chapter 540 275: Final Battle (Part 1)

The shadow of the Demon God, carrying supreme majesty, since the heavens tilted, descended upon the Black Mountain Ghost City.

"Boom!!!"

At the moment of landing, a thunderous explosion occurred. The destructive might of the Demon God, the thunderous force of the Orthodox Technique, drew Celestial Thunder and Earth Fire, shaking the nine skies and startling all deities.

"Hah!!!"

Realizing the visitor came with ill intentions and was no ordinary foe, the moment the divine might descended, Black Mountain had already constructed its defense. Thousands of evil spirits entered the mountain, the majestic mountain radiating mysterious brilliance, seizing the creation of heaven and earth, invading the mysteries of sun and moon, and gathering the essences of Ghosts and Spirits. From ancient times to the present, enduring the ages, it stood unshakable.

This is the true nature of the ancient Black Mountain!

As an Ancient Great Demon, it had already surpassed the limits of mountains and earth in ancient times, enabling it to move the mountain, traverse the world, and gain a significant advantage over humans in battle, with great power in both offense and defense.

If not for being suppressed by an Ancient Great Power in ancient times, shattering its mountain spirit's heart and being banished deep into the Underworld, missing the opportunities of the ancient era, it would have surely achieved the position of a First Grade Divine Demon.

Now, although it has rebuilt its merit, it's no longer as powerful as in ancient times and is further constrained by the limits of heaven and earth. Yet, with its ancient Black Mountain body and the secret techniques it collected back then, it stands at the pinnacle among contemporary Ghosts and Spirits, to the extent that even successive True Dragons are unwilling to risk losing Dragon Qi to confront it.

Such strength is evident!

But now…

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

The destructive might of the Demon God and the thunderous force of the Orthodox Technique struck Black Mountain with a tremendous force.

Sounds of alarming blasts, rumbling eruptions, where the Demon God touched down, marked the beginning of Black Mountain's collapse. The majestic mountain, seemingly forged from refined iron, couldn't withstand the force and cracked, mountains shifting, ridges crumbling, with countless spirits wailing, turning into black mist that surged upwards.

"Ah!!!"

"Save me!!!"

Amidst flashing lightning and rumbling thunder, within the cloud of scattered rocks, a cry of despair erupted, speaking words of plea for help.

"Black Mountain!?"

Seeing this, Ghosts and Spirits from all around were terrified, hurrying to lend a hand.

But it was already too late; just as they started to act and help had not yet arrived, Black Mountain, which was suppressed above the Northern Capital Realm, suddenly shook, splitting in two, with numerous peaks and stones falling apart.

"Ah!!!"

In the chaos of falling stones and thunderous clouds, amidst the piercing wails, the divided Black Mountain suffered further destruction. The transverse cut where it broke was clearly visible, with Thunder Power raging past, destroying all stones in its path. In the blink of an eye, the majestic Black Mountain was dismembered, disintegrating into countless pieces of rubble and even powder.

Ultimately, all that remained on the battlefield was a single figure, sliding down with a wave of the sleeve, descending onto the Northern Capital Realm.

"Black Mountain!!!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the various Ghosts and Spirits were all aghast and speechless.

Although they knew this god was extraordinary and must have had some reliance for acting as he did, such capability still exceeded imagination.

That Black Mountain was an Ancient Great Demon, an earthly spirit, a mountain oddity, with a durable body and original form. Even the Ancient Great Power that once suppressed it couldn't completely destroy it, giving it a chance to make a comeback.

But now…

One strike, just a single strike, and this Ancient Great Demon was annihilated both in form and essence, unable to leave even a single larger stone intact.

What kind of divine might is this?

"Is he really only Third Grade?"

"Even Black Mountain couldn't withstand his strike?"

"Who could possibly withstand such power..."

"Do not panic; this is his trick!"

As fear and doubt began to surge among the various parties, a Divine Light burst forth, appearing majestically in the scene.

It was none other than a god with a stately crown, exuding regal majesty.

King of Zhaoren!

Upon his appearance, he stabilized the situation at the front.

"This demon has extraordinary methods, specifically restraining Demons and Monsters."

"Though Black Mountain is strong, it was already damaged in ancient times. Now, in its rebuilt state, it is not as before, and with his restraining methods, he was able to destroy it in one strike."

"We deities do not fear him; let us be the shield, facing him head-on."

"Let the ghosts and monsters serve as spears, focusing on attack and assault."

"Today, if he does not die, we all perish!"

"Fight with no retreat, only advance!"

Truly a ruler of his era, discerning the situation instantly and using powerful words to stabilize the ranks of the deities.

"What King of Zhaoren says is right!"

"This demon indeed has means to restrain ghosts."

"We will be the shield, and you will be the spear, alternating between attack and defense!"

"Together, we can surely overcome the enemy!"

"The True Dragon is about to unleash its full strength; you all need not fear his sinister arts!"

"Once his sinister art succeeds, he will usurp power and seize positions, and then even if we were to reincarnate, we would still be suppressed by him for generations to come, never to rise again."

"Earlier, as the Daoist Soldiers fought arduously, he did not appear immediately. He must have been hiding in the shadows to accumulate strength, so that he could unleash such a thunderous strike to destroy Black Mountain; it was not as easy as snapping one's fingers."

"Kill!!!"

After hearing the words of King of Zhaoren, the other deities also raised their voices, boosting morale and steadying the situation.

By now, they had no way back. Whether what King of Zhaoren said was true or false, they had to echo and support him; otherwise, if the hearts of the deities wavered and they succumbed to fear and retreated, how could they possibly fight this battle?

So, regardless, they must hold firm.

And so, the Ghosts and Spirits reinforced their positions steadfastly.

Now look at the opponent...

Within the Northern Capital, in the Magic Realm, all the deities bowed their heads in submission, welcoming their lord.

Shen Hex stood with his hands behind his back, saying nothing, only directing his gaze forward, past the prepared Ghosts and Spirits, focusing on the True Dragon Celestial Pillar that reached the heavens, radiating supreme majesty.

Indeed, the Celestial Pillar!

This True Dragon Celestial Pillar of Great Zhou was not encompassed within the Northern Capital Realm.

This is as it should be, for the Venerable Dragon Qi is akin to a deity and would not tolerate being wrapped within the Magic Realm of other deities.
