Chapter 352: Otherworldly Demon Saint
BOOM!
A deafening explosion rang out.
It was a world-shaking collision, so violent that countless runes flashed across the Great Chu Dynasty's mountain-protecting formation before shattering one after another.
Supreme divine power surged wildly through the void.
At this moment, it was as if heaven and earth had overturned!
Within a radius of tens of thousands of li, everything was flattened to the ground. Nothing remained.
Every cultivator who had traveled from afar was struggling with all their strength just to withstand the aftershocks.
Inside the Great Chu Imperial City, countless people exploded into clouds of blood in an instant. The enormous capital was dyed crimson red, resembling a living hell—tragic and horrifyingly beautiful.
Crack!
Under the watch of countless eyes, the once impregnable formation suddenly developed a crack.
The crack was not large—only several zhang long.
Yet in the eyes of everyone present, it felt as though the sky itself had collapsed.
"The formation… broke?"
On the city walls, experts of the Great Chu Dynasty stared blankly at the crack in the sky like walking corpses, muttering to themselves.
Before the battle began, they had still hoped that the powerful forces gathering from every direction would fail to break the formation and eventually retreat in disgrace.
But who could have imagined…
The battle had only just begun, and the formation was already damaged?
Just to block that single strike from the Saint King, the formation had consumed tens of millions of spirit stones in the blink of an eye.
If this happened several more times, then even if the formation itself remained intact, the Great Chu Dynasty's entire treasury and foundation would be drained dry.
"It's over…"
At this moment, countless people nearly lost the courage to resist.
This formation had been their greatest shield.
Now that the shield had cracked, it was as though the entire imperial city stood defenseless before everyone.
The Great Chu Dynasty alone could never withstand the joint assault of so many forces.
"Do not panic!"
At this moment, a figure in black robes silently appeared atop the city wall.
He glanced toward the void outside and said gloomily:
"It is only a crack. It will heal in moments."
A Saint King–level formation was not something that could be casually destroyed. A mere crack like this would automatically repair itself in the blink of an eye.
And indeed, just as he said—
Before he even finished speaking, the several-zhang-long crack had already repaired nearly half of itself. In only a few more breaths, it would likely return completely to normal.
Seeing this, many people finally let out slight sighs of relief.
Although the Saint King's attack had caused catastrophic losses to the Great Chu Dynasty, at least the formation still stood.
As long as the formation remained unbroken, there was still hope.
But in the very next moment, hundreds of millions of sword-feathers descended once more.
The formation, which had nearly healed, was instantly torn open again, the crack expanding dozens of times larger into a fissure over a hundred zhang long.
This time, before the formation could regenerate, a phoenix feather shot down from beyond the heavens and lodged itself across the crack.
"What are you all waiting for?" Li Xun's voice drifted through the air.
The moment everyone outside heard those words, their spirits surged.
"Kill!"
In an instant, the silent armies that had waited so long erupted with overwhelming killing intent.
Their roar shook mountains, rivers, sun, and moon. The earth itself trembled violently.
It was like countless volcanoes erupting at once, torrents of magma flooding across the land as forces from every direction charged toward the spatial crack.
With so many experts gathered together, there was nothing capable of stopping them.
It was as though countless war gods had returned to life, unstoppable in their advance.
"ROAAAR—!"
The azure dragon of the Northern Yu Dynasty let out a furious roar.
Throughout the imperial city, countless palaces collapsed instantly.
A divine beam shot from its mouth, radiating terrifying power as it slashed directly into the crack.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Blooms of blood exploded one after another.
In a single instant, vast stretches of the city wall were wiped clean.
The experts who had intended to destroy the phoenix feather all exploded into clouds of blood.
Within those blood mists, however, some chunks of flesh could be seen writhing slowly, gradually reforming into humanoid shapes.
"Otherworldly Demons!"
Previously, separated by the formation and dressed in the armor of Great Chu soldiers, many people had failed to recognize their identities immediately.
But now, after enduring the Saint King's strike and the azure dragon's roar, the difference between ordinary people and the Otherworldly Demons became rapidly apparent.
"As Daoist Friend Li Xun said, the Great Chu Dynasty truly is colluding with the Otherworldly Demons!"
The Jiang Clan Patriarch's eyes turned icy cold.
With a grasp of his hand, the heavens trembled violently. Endless divine radiance burst forth from his palm as a jade-white longsword appeared and slashed toward the formation below.
This was a Sacred Weapon.
Though it was not one he had personally refined, it had been left behind by a Saint ancestor of the Jiang Clan and was now being wielded by him.
Clang!
The sword light shot forth like a rainbow, sweeping across the nine heavens and causing ripples to spread through the void.
Though the might of a Saint could not compare to that of a Saint King, it was still far beyond what ordinary people could withstand.
Under the gaze of countless spectators, everyone saw the sword light slash directly into the formation.
Just as everyone believed that this strike would once again inflict unimaginable devastation upon the Great Chu Dynasty—
Boom!
A massive black hand suddenly reached out from the void.
It grabbed the sword light and crushed it into nothingness with a squeeze.
"Heh… heh…"
A hoarse laugh echoed out.
A figure cloaked entirely in black mist appeared.
Its body was gaunt and skeletal, yet extremely tall, standing over a zhang high.
It merely stood there quietly, yet gave off an indescribable pressure.
"A mere junior who has only just become a Saint dares act arrogantly before this one?"
"A Otherworldly Demon Saint?"
Many people outside narrowed their eyes in shock.
The appearance of a Saint here proved that the Great Chu Dynasty had been cooperating with the Otherworldly Demons for quite some time already.
After all, a newly established spatial passage could not yet allow a Saint-level existence to cross worlds.
At the very least, the passage would need to stabilize before Saints could travel through it.
"That's right."
The Otherworldly Demon Saint let out a cold laugh and swept his gaze across everyone present.
After seeing that the strongest person here was merely a Saint King, the worry in his heart eased slightly.
"And you rotten trash actually think you can suppress us?"
"Since you've all come today, then leave your lives here!"
His hoarse voice sounded like wooden boards scraping against each other, yet it carried overwhelming dominance as it spread across the vast land and shook the entire Great Chu Imperial City.
