Chapter 1887: The Second Demon City (Part 2)
Editor: Henyee Translations
At that very moment, the elders of the Demon City finally came to their senses.
Throughout the city, they howled in unison. Their demonic chants echoed across heaven and earth, made even more wrathful under the cover of lightning.
“At all costs! Defend the Demon Sect!”
“At all costs! Defend the Demon Sect!”
“At all costs! Defend the Demon Sect!”
The entire demon city erupted. Countless demon cultivators, already standing at the ready, roared as demonic energy surged skyward.
In an instant, the entire city was engulfed in demonic energy like a tidal wave crashing against the heavens.
Just then, a towering figure slowly stepped out from the void. His gaze was as sharp as lightning.
He wore armor forged from refined demonic steel, his form as imposing as a fortress. The cold light gleaming off his body was chilling.
Most terrifyingly, his face bore four scarlet demonic eyes—utterly grotesque!
This was the lord of this Pinghuang Demon City—Four-Eyed Demon Lord, a terrifying ancient existence at the peak of the Profound Immortal realm.
His appearance caused the entire city to tremble. Torrents of demonic energy surged forth and, together with the city’s defensive array, unleashed a blinding light that pierced the sky, tearing a gaping void in the thunderous clouds above.
Upon receiving word that the Tongtian Demon City had fallen, the Four-Eyed Demon Lord had immediately begun preparations.
This moment revealed the true strength of the city’s grand formation!
Through layers of refinement and far more intricate arrangements, its power had grown severalfold—enough to resist even a typical Golden Immortal!
Rumble—!!
High above the city, as the terrifying demonic aura thickened, Shen Ruyan’s battle spirit ignited.
She knew that no one else would be stepping forward to face them.
Under Jiang Chengxuan’s protection, she surged forward, gathering a fearsome storm of lightning and momentum.
Thunder roared as her eyes met Jiang Chengxuan’s. The next moment, she unleashed her full power.
Behind her, her Manifested Realm appeared, adding a mystical resonance to the lightning storm.
In an instant, the storm exploded in size. The thunder doubled in intensity!
Then, Shen Ruyan, whose body had nearly transformed into a pure Thunder Spirit, swept both arms forward.
Endless lightning gathered into a vortex towering to the heavens. With unstoppable force, it crashed downward from the Ninth Heaven, colliding directly with the city’s defensive array!
This strike had been building up for some time. It carried power close to that of a peak Profound Immortal! The chaotic lightning struck like tangled threads, wildly ripping into the demonic defenses, unleashing deafening booms that shook the heavens and earth!
“Hmph! Be suppressed!”
But in the face of this overwhelming lightning force, the Four-Eyed Demon Lord remained resolute.
Shouldering the full weight of the storm, he let out a cold snort and released his own Realm Power!
At the same time, countless demon cultivators from the Wildblood Sect roared in unison, injecting their own power into the grand array.
The already fearsome demonic barrier burst with intensified light, and a terrifying demonic roar faintly echoed from within.
The energy of the array twisted and churned, wave after wave of power surging over the lightning storm.
The thunder was eroded and dissipated. Space itself was shredded and distorted!
Amidst this violent clash, as chaotic energy flooded the battlefield, the countless bolts of lightning gradually faded.
The demonic light swelled, devouring all of it!
That one earth-shattering strike—on par with a peak Profound Immortal—was neutralized without even a ripple.
“Woooaaaaaahhh!”
This outcome drove the demons into a frenzy.
Having withstood such a devastating strike so effortlessly, they were emboldened and unleashed monstrous battle cries, shaking the skies.
“My Pinghuang Demon City is not the Tongtian Demon City! You won’t break through so easily!”
The Four-Eyed Demon Lord seized the moment, roaring with dominance, fanning the flames of morale.
Under his command, the city’s defense consolidated. The demon army regained confidence.
After all, before this clash, they had been terrified—facing enemies who had flattened Tongtian Demon City in mere moments!
The very thought had made their blood run cold.
But now, having weathered the first storm, their resolve was reborn. They dared to believe they could hold their ground.
“Dear… It seems they’re already aware.”
High in the sky, having exhausted all her lightning without results, Shen Ruyan was not discouraged—but her brows furrowed in displeasure.
Clearly, the enemy had reinforced their defenses and adopted a grave posture in anticipation of their arrival.
This kind of preparedness meant only one thing—they knew everything.
“Heh… It doesn’t matter. This battle was always going to be fought in broad daylight.”
Jiang Chengxuan chuckled in reply, offering her comfort.
Though the Cloudmist Immortal Sect struck first, they had never expected an easy victory.
Their foes were no helpless lambs awaiting slaughter. They wouldn’t allow such a chance.
No matter what, this war would not end so easily.
In fact, it had only just begun.
Though his words were calm, Jiang Chengxuan had no intention of continuing to play passively.
Seeing the enemy so thoroughly fortified, he could not afford any arrogance.
In the next moment, his expression turned solemn.
Amidst the roaring chaos of demonkind, he lifted his hand—and in an instant, his Golden Immortal Universe unfurled!
Time seemed to freeze. Chaos stilled.
Heaven and earth shifted. The stars wheeled in the sky.
A majestic cosmic scene unfolded at breathtaking speed, enveloping the skies above the entire Demon City.
The pressure of a Golden Immortal descended.
The once-roaring Demon City fell utterly silent. Not a sound could be heard—not even a pin drop.
“Go—Golden Immortal Realm!”
That moment, the entire city was stunned.
The elders of the Demon City stared with wide eyes, gasping in disbelief and dread.
In the intelligence sent by the Wildblood Demon Immortal, there had been no mention of Jiang Chengxuan being a Golden Immortal.
From start to finish, they had only been told to fight to the death—no matter what.
This was the cold calculation of the Wildblood Demon Immortal.
He deliberately withheld the truth about Jiang Chengxuan’s cultivation, knowing that only by keeping this hidden could the various Demon Cities fight without hesitation—without thoughts of surrender.
Only now, as the Golden Immortal might spread across the sky, did the defenders of Pinghuang Demon City truly understand just who—and what—they were facing!
Why he could break through Tongtian Demon City in the blink of an eye!
“A Golden Immortal?! Impossible! He’s not Old Man Yunshi!”
Even the Four-Eyed Demon Lord, who had just shown such kingly might, trembled under the pressure, murmuring in disbelief, pupils contracted in fear.
He had once seen the Cloudmist Immortal Sect’s Golden Immortal Patriarch, Yunshi.
The man before him was not him.
Just from that one moment, he understood so much.
“Don’t panic! With the city’s grand formation, even a Golden Immortal can do nothing!”
“Hold for one moment longer, and the Ancestor will arrive to repel him! Hold your ground—!”
Yet as a ruler who had governed this Demon City for ten thousand years, the Four-Eyed Demon Lord remained calm and clear-headed.
He didn’t allow his fear to take root.
With a roar, he spun around and bellowed across the skies. His demonic voice shook the air.
At the same time, he reactivated the grand formation. Thick demonic energy condensed over the city, diminishing the pressure of the Golden Immortal aura.
The demon cultivators below exhaled in relief.
Hearing their lord’s command, and feeling the stabilizing presence of the formation, their demonic energy began to flow freely again.
Slowly, their fighting spirit reignited.
Far above, Jiang Chengxuan stood alone beneath the vastness of his Golden Immortal Universe.
His figure loomed like a colossus, as though he could sever the heavens themselves.
He paid no attention to the demons within the city.
He simply stood in silence, waiting for the universe to fully manifest.
Then, his eyes sharpened. He clenched both fists.
In that instant, the entire universe shook with his movement.
Countless torrents of immortal energy converged upon his palms.
Stars spun. The void twisted.
Before long, he had begun to gather a force of such destruction that even the heavens would tremble—
A heaven-shattering, earth-rending strike was coming.
