Chapter 205. Intrigues and Conspiracy (1)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
The law of nature might be a little bit biased for Li Xiuchen, but it would remain absolute fairness on many other things.
Among ten thousand ordinary people, there might not be a single one who had the talent for cultivation. So, on the Xuan Tian Continent, the number of cultivators was limited, not comparable to countless demons that could blot out the sun. In terms of number, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
However, the law of nature knew how to kick a balance.
It was harder for demons to reach higher levels, and most of them had the upper limit of their cultivation. For example, the green horned demon, serving as an insignificant soldier before, had a upper limit of Third-Level, which meant he could never reached the Fourth-Level. There was even a wide-spread yet-proven hearsay on the continent,
“Except divine creatures, demons could never transform to deity.”
Therefore, demons could only stop at the Heaven-Level, equivalent to the Deity Transformation Period of human cultivators. By then they would have no choice but wait for long years and ultimately decomposed into sand.
On the junction of the Fiend Realm and the Thirteenth Ocean erected a high, winding wall. On the Fiend side of the wall, there was no trace of any ordinary people- the Wang Du Capital had become a deserted city, only over nine hundred full-armed Fiend Cultivators defending there. The wall was built by Fiend Cultivators a hundred years ago when human and demon signed the agreement. It was as high as three hundred meters, from the top of which you could see one encompassing vision of how tiny all things were.
The Fiend Realm had altogether eight capitals. It used to seven, and the Wang Du Capital was built one hundred years ago. Wang in Chinese meant “keep a lookout vigilantly”. This capital was only five thousand meters away from the Thirteenth Ocean, and every year, the Fiend Palace would send cultivators here to patrol and inspect.
And now, the enemy finally came.
Nine hundred and twelve Fiend Cultivators versus ten thousand and three hundred demons.
Tens of thousands of demons landed slowly, from the sky, ocean or land, roaring and rushing towards the wall.
On the capital war, the leader Tribulation Passage Fiend Cultivators narrowed his eyes and raised his right hand. Then, the one hundred Fiend Cultivators behind him stretched their right hands and put in into the one hundred grooves on the wall. Instantly, black light shined brilliantly, indicating the strong inflow of Fiend power into the wall, making the whole wall a black, clear jade.
Time seemed to freeze. Black lights kept appearing on the black jade wall, reflecting subtle gradations of light and shade. Black Fiend power continuously flew down from the grooves and gathered on the wall, forming a huge round array.
The Tribulation Passage Fiend Cultivator was the array center and the spiritual power of one hundred Fiend Cultivators were the one hundred array points.
The large array began to run lightly and slowly, yet the distant demons approached it at fast speed. Four thousand meters, three thousand meters, two thousand meters. When they were one thousand meters away, tremendous power abruptly gushed out from the array.
Boom!
The Heaven-Level Fiend Omen Array was fully activated!
As a wave of hurricane swept over, the pioneering demons were smashed into ashes, with two thousand demons under the Third Level killed and one thousand Fourth-Level demons dead! Even the Fifth-Level demons suffered a toll of five hundred!
As the black array was activated, the attack of demons was blocked by its solid outer wall. All demons under the Sixth Level were resisted one thousand meters away from the wall, yet those above the Sixth Level still could break through the array and approach to the wall.
“The rest of my fellow cultivators, go and kill those bastards with me!”
“Ya!”
The one hundred Fiend Cultivators remained on the wall to operate the array, and rest of the eight hundred cultivators flew down to the wall, starting the grand battle with demons.
The vivid redness shrouded the sky, and blood gurgled from Friend Cultivators and demons down to the deep red soil, making it even darker. The breeze from the ocean was flickering away on the brutal battleground, mingled with the smell of blood, but stronger and more disgusting, like that of rotten food.
Spiritual power and demon power were wrangling, and Fiend Cultivator’s sharp instruments were clashing with demons’ solid bodies.
Yells and roars reverberated between Earth and Heaven, and the clanks of iron blade shook the ground. The evil, merciless Fiend Cultivators now formed a wall with their own bodies to resist demons. They fought and sacrificed their lives, one stepping into the breach as another fell, splitting the head of demons!
As demons’ heads were cleaved, the blood splashed on the face and body of each Fiend Cultivator.
Within a day, the Fiend Omen Array blocked the way of demons, forcing them temporarily withdrew.
In the first battle of Wang Du Capital, eight thousand demons were killed, while seven hundred and sixty one Fiend Cultivators fell. Outside the capital was a hell of blood, with stinky smell spreading over the air. It was getting late, yet no one let down their guard. The Fiend Cultivators on the wall wore grave faces and sat in meditation for healing expressionlessly.
Five hundred kilometers away, all the sects in the Cen State had sent cultivators to the Yun State.
The sects in the Northern Land of Arctic also ordered their cultivators to go through the Chong State and reach the Fiend Realm and Yun State as soon as possible. However, just as they got out of the Chong State, they saw army demons stood right in the way of human cultivators outside of their capital. The leading demon held a green jade tablet who directly blocked the way of human cultivators.
The same for the Ming State and Zhao State.
On the farthest north of the Cen State, Ming State and Zhao State stretched across Chong Teng Mountain range, who linked the three states into a line. On the junction of these three states, a horrible large array had been drawn. The human cultivators who planned to go to the south from the Northern Land of Arctic were all barred by the array. They attempted to break through it for several times but all in vain.
The next day, Sir Guang Lingzi of the Tai Hua mountain and Supreme Master Jian Xiao of the Shen Jian Sect had arrived at the Ming State, followed by the elite cultivators of their sects. Guang Lingzi and Jian Xiao saw the jade tablet and realized the identity of that demon exalt in gold who blocked their way. Both of them turned a grave face.
Guang Lingzi stepped forward, “Jin Can, I don’t think you have the guts to fight with me!”
In the array, the old, hideous demon exalt with white hair sneered, “Don’t try to taunt me. It won’t work.”
“One hundred and thirty years ago, my victory hung in the balance in that battle. Now you dare not to fight with me again, you are afraid of me!”
“Guang Lingzi, don’t imagine you can break through my array. Within three days, human will be eliminated in the Yu State, so will the Fiend Realm! Hahaha!”
“Bullshit! I’ll beat you until you beg for mercy!”
Then, Guang Lingzi immediately took out his instrument and attacked the solid array. However, the Towering Ocean Breaking Array gained too much power and spanned three states, extremely difficult to destroy. Sir Guang Lingzi kept attacking it for an hour, but didn’t cause any substantial damage to the array except for some minor shakes.
Guang Lingzi narrowed his eyes and suddenly stopped, “How many demons have you killed?”
Exalt Jin Can trembled, “What are you talking about?”
Guang Lingzi laughed out, “You must have sacrificed countless demons to draw such a large Towering Ocean Breaking Array. But it figures, after all, a leopard can’t change its spots! You are nothing but an old miserable fool. I mean, look at you, fat and ugly, after ten thousand years you are just hanging at the late stage of Da Sheng Period. You only have five thousand years to go, but you still dare not to fight with me. What’s your plan then, hide your head in your turtle shell forever? Then you are literally the then-thousand-years turtle, hahaha!”
“Shut the fuck up!”
Just as he finished, a gold figure flashed out of the array and direct confronted Sir Guang Lingzi.
Jin Can’s subordinate replaced him to operate the array center, and he went to fight with Guan Lingzi. Exalt Ji Can was the Ocean Master of the Seventh Ocean, Earth-Level demon, so he was quite powerful, equivalent a late-stage Da Sheng Period Cultivator.
Their confrontation was like the clash of Earth of Heaven. The impact of two spiritual powers made the whole space tremble, and numerous hills around them had collapsed. Their fight turned this area into horrible hell.
Compared with Exalt Jin Can, Guang Lingzi seemed to be quite at home on handling him.
Demon’s life span was quite long, but accordingly their cultivation could easily hit a bottleneck. Over the one hundred years, Exalt Jin Can barely made any progress, but Sir Guang Lingzi was different. His sharp spiritual power formed into a eagle, rushing towards Jin Can. The eagle gave out overwhelming pressure as a mountain. When the Exalt Jin Can raised his hands to block it, he was directly pressed underground!
Guang Lingzi stepped over him, “Open the array, or I will kill you this ugly turtle!”
Although Jin Can was now at the mercy of Sir Guang Lingzi, he was not panicky. He sneered again, “Do you think I’m afraid of you? Just try to kill me if you are capable of. Guang Lingzi, I’m more than happy to see how you witness the slaughter in the Yun State and the Fiend Exalt!”
Another battle was about to start.
