Chapter 416 - 405: The Human World is Defiled Again

Chapter 416: Chapter 405: The Human World is Defiled Again

Soon, Layman Yue flew over at top speed, his voice booming, "The Grand Princess, Cha Mo, and the others—they’ve all left!"

BOOM—

The news struck like a bolt from the blue, right into the command tent.

At that moment, the Silver Phoenix’s body trembled, flames of rage erupting from her phoenix-like eyes.

She understood now.

’They were using a feint, putting on an act to cover the withdrawal of their main force.’

’And judging by the paths they took, they were almost certainly heading for Fang Yang’s third army!’

In an instant, the Silver Phoenix pieced it all together. Her voice was a shriek. "Move out! Move out immediately and reinforce Fang Yang!"

Hearing her, Layman Yue looked as if he had been struck by lightning. His body convulsed, and he repeated her orders in a piercing tone.

It was urgent. Incredibly urgent.

The situation was more desperate than they could have ever imagined.

If things were really as they suspected, could Fang Yang and his men possibly hold on?!

They were consumed by worry, but they had no choice but to lead their army north.

...

"Kill!"

The Grand Princess waved her hand, issuing the command.

From the sky, tens of thousands of arrows descended. Each was the size of a great spear, dazzling and terrifying, like comets streaking across the sun. Mysterious runes swirled around them.

These were Talisman Arrows, and their destructive power was immense. A full volley could shatter a great city or cause entire mountains to crumble.

If this dense volley of Talisman Arrows struck the protective formation, even if it didn’t collapse it outright, it would shatter its integrity. This would force Su Xi and the others to face the White Tiger Demon Lord’s forces without its protection.

The air whined and hummed.

The Talisman Arrows streaked through the air like divine rays, weaving together into a dense net of light that seemed to embody the very laws of the universe.

"Fire Domain Skill."

Fang Yang’s face was calm. A Flood Dragon soared into the air, churning with countless flames. Its crimson body, inscribed with golden, dao-infused runes, rose to the height of a mountain to block the attack.

With a deafening boom, the Crimson Flood Dragon shattered, collapsing into thirty-six Fire Realms that filled the sky.

Ferocious Anomalous Flames surged in all directions, blocking the incoming arrows. The sky transformed into an orange Divine Realm, its raging fires setting the very void ablaze.

CRACK—

In the void, one Talisman Arrow after another cracked, then exploded into fine dust.

The sight was terrifying. These were Talisman Arrows, after all—renowned for their strength and durability. How else could they pierce mountains, destroy cities, and annihilate the bodies of powerful cultivators?

But now, every last arrow was blocked and incinerated by the horrifying flames, reduced to nothing more than drifting powder.

Cha Mo gasped.

’The Kunpeng Ancestor truly is astonishing,’ he thought. ’His thunder and Fire Skills are both unparalleled.’

’In this dreamscape battlefield, as long as the two Young Venerables stay out of it, he’ll likely never meet his match.’

’No wonder the White Tiger Demon Lord is so afraid of him and has never dared to face him head-on!’

"We cannot let him stall for time!" A touch of Evil Qi flashed across the Grand Princess’s pale, delicate face. Her purple hair whipped around her as if she were in a frenzy.

If Fang Yang and his third army successfully defended their base and stalled long enough for the Silver Phoenix to arrive, the tables would turn completely. It would be *their* side facing annihilation!

Such an outcome could not be allowed to happen. It was unacceptable. The mere thought of it was terrifying.

WENG—

A colossal mountain of runes erupted from the earth, arcing through the air to descend upon the protective formation.

It was a Mountain Seal, one the Grand Princess had nurtured with the karmic fortune of an entire commandery. Now, expanded to its maximum size, it blotted out the sky.

Over many years, the treasured seal had taken the form of a mountain. Upon its surface was the image of an entire commandery, complete with Ancient Cities, its people, and even the evolving cycles of sun, moon, mountains, and rivers. It was filled with profound mystery.

A great seal of this magnitude didn’t just involve the schools of fortune and the Earth Dao; it even touched upon the legendary Human Dao.

Now, it plunged downward, descending like a true Grotto Heaven. Its aura was terrifying, with wisps of potent energy threatening to crush the protective formation.

Not only that, but young Great Saints like Cha Mo, Zhong Zunyang, and Xiao Sanxuan erupted with power once again, unleashing their divine might.

Most critically, the White Tiger Demon Lord also launched a sudden, ferocious attack, putting Su Xi in mortal danger.

The heavens collapsed and the earth cracked.

Even with Fang Yang’s help, Jiuming, Linghe, Su Xi, and the others could only retreat, forced to rely on the formation for their defense.

......

CREEEAK...

Under the onslaught of the Grand Princess and her allies, the protective formation was pushed to its absolute limit. It shone with countless rays of light and was shrouded in divine mist, but even this couldn’t conceal its decline. It was on the verge of collapse.

It wouldn’t be long now before the protective formation collapsed completely.

When that happened, it would be nothing short of a... slaughter!

A flicker of joy appeared on the White Tiger Demon Lord’s face as he laughed manically to himself. ’My plan is working? Hahaha, I’m winning the gamble! I’m going to win!’

’I never actually thought the war would unfold almost exactly as I predicted.’

’If things keep going this way, won’t I have a chance to claim Fang Yang’s body and Soul?!’

’And who is Fang Yang?’

’The Kunpeng Ancestor!’

’The legendary Kunpeng, recorded in all manner of Ancient Scriptures as a great fiend of the primordial era.’

’Even in the legendary Immortal Realm, the Kunpeng is a supreme, nigh-invincible entity.’

’If I devour Fang Yang and obtain all the Mystical Skills of the Kunpeng...’

’...then who else could become the third Young Venerable but me?!’

"ROAR!"

In his excitement, the White Tiger Demon Lord roared at the sky.

Instantly, giant silver spears materialized around him, one after another.

This time, it wasn’t eighty-one of them, but a full three hundred and sixty.

Each spear was as massive as a mountain peak, inscribed with Gold Dao Talismans and pulsing with the faint dao resonance of the Soul Dao. They glowed with a sinister, haunting light.
