Chapter 499: Evil Spirit Ambush, Six Perfected Immortals!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Southern Border was known as the Demonic Land.

The 100 races which ruled over this land were all top great demon races that had survived since the Antiquity Age and had invincible arts.

That was the reason there were so many demon prodigies.

Amongst all the races, the strongest would definitely be the Immortal Phoenix and Kun Peng races.

Both races had powerful Sub-Immortal cultivators presiding over and were extremely strong.

It could be said that the Southern Border demons’ battle prowess was not weaker than other regions at all.

…

Also, the terrain here was perilous, and thus it had a natural cover for defense.

There were thousands of steep mountains and valleys.

Those mountains towered into the clouds and were boundless, looking magnificent.

100,000 mountains surrounded the Immortal Mountain in the center as if they were 100,000 guards protecting their emperor. It was a grand scenery.

Meanwhile, the Immortal Mountain was even more peculiar. It was covered in fearsome Dao patterns that were mysterious and unfathomable.

According to rumors, the Immortal Mountain was famous in the Celestial World.

It had been dyed in the blood of a mighty figure and was that mighty figure’s Bodhimanda.

However, it had fallen into the mortal world afterward, and those Dao patterns had been worn away through the passage of time.

Even so, the Immortal Phoenix and the Kun Peng races could still borrow part of the power from the Dao patterns, turning the Immortal Phoenix race into an impregnable natural fortress.

Therefore, given the Immortal Mountain’s defensive terrain, no one could easily overcome it.

…

Surprisingly, this land was in great danger now, at the verge of annihilation.

Countless huge wormholes could be seen above the Immortal Mountain. They emitted formidable evil aura, and the laws were chaotic,

A peerless Evil Spirit cultivator had created these wormholes, and they were extremely sturdy.

Countless Evil Spirits charged out of the wormholes while emitting a fearsome aura, which filled up the whole place.

This scene astounded the demons. They hurriedly defended, but it was still difficult for them to block the Evil Spirits.

This time, the Evil Spirits were simply too many. They were like a black tide that surged with indomitable force.

Evil aura covered the whole sky as if it was going to devour this land completely.

…

The battle erupted, and the clashes’ fearsome impact swept through the 100,000 mountains.

The Evil Spirits and demons’ battles could be seen everywhere as violent energy raged, creating ghastly sights.

Huge ferocious beasts devoured some Evil Spirits in one mouthful while Evil Spirits sliced demons in half.

Blood gushed into the air like a spraying fountain.

The battles were simply too terrifying—broken limbs and corpses were scattered on the ground, and fresh blood flowed like a river!

Even though the demons resisted tenaciously, they were still not the Evil Spirits’ opponents and could only retreat in defeat repeatedly. The Evil Spirit race had been scheming for a long time, and they had also directly sent out millions of Evil Spirits as their army to invade Southern Border.

They were like locusts—wherever they appeared, only ruins would remain.

Mountains collapsed, and the ground was shattered.

It was like hell with endless pain and suffering, sending shivers down others’ spines.

More than half of the 100,000 mountains of Southern Border had been occupied by the enemy in just half a day, and dozens of demon races had been completely annihilated.

This battle instilled fear in the demons!

On the Immortal Mountain…

Two figures were standing on top of the mountain with an immense aura.

They stood there like towering mountains.

They were the old ancestors of the Immortal Phoenix and Kun Peng races.

They were both 24 Tribulation Sub-Thearchs and possessed astounding strength.

However, even though they were Sub-Thearchs, they did not dare to act rashly when seeing such a bloody scene.

That was because three Evil Spirits stood in mid-air proudly, looking down on them. They emitted an extremely formidable evil aura. They were all Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits.

Their eyes were cold as they spoke in a sinister voice. “Just a bunch of ants trying to put up stubborn resistance!”

“Die!”

The three Evil Spirits attacked the Immortal Mountain. As long as they destroyed the formation of this land, the Evil Spirit army would be able to march straight in and slaughter everyone.

“Everyone, set up a formation together!”

The two old demon ancestors shouted as they circulated their power.

In that instant, a brilliant light shone, and Dao patterns were formed.

Heavenly Dao patterns suddenly appeared on the Immortal Mountain, which interweaved and emitted mighty power.

The fearsome energy surged and turned into a bright barrier that enveloped the whole mountain.

Even so, the barrier fluctuated vigorously as if it would shatter at any moment from the three Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits’ attacks.

They were in the end three Perfected Immortals with frightening power.

Meanwhile, Southern Border only had two Sub-Thearchs—the difference between the two sides was just too huge.

…

The two old ancestors had solemn expressions. If it was not for them borrowing the power of the Immortal Mountain’s Dao patterns, this place would have fallen long ago.

However, the situation was still unfavorable.

At that moment, they received another piece of bad news.

In the distance, someone from the Phoenix race staggered toward them with heavy injuries. His whole body was bathed in blood, and even more than half of his feathers had fallen, his aura extremely weak.

That person revealed a sorrowful expression as he said, “Old ancestors, we can’t block them anymore!

“There’s just too many of the Evil Spirits. The losses of the various races are too great!

“If the wormholes are not destroyed, we won’t be able to last long!”

That person’s eyes were red as he was filled with resentment.

The Southern Border demons spilled blood and risked their lives, but they were still unable to stop the Evil Spirit army’s invasion.

He had even seen his friends and kins die under the blades of those Evil Spirits, leaving not even their bones.

How could he not hate, how could he not be mournful?

The Evil Spirit army was already right at their doorstep, and they had no room to retreat anymore.

In an instant, everyone fell into despair.

The two old ancestors’ expressions changed drastically. They were also helpless. The Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits restrained them, so they could not provide support at all.

Meanwhile, given the Southern Border demons’ strength, they were unable to go against the Evil Spirit army.

It was obviously a dead-end with no hope.

The Immortal Phoenix ancestor, Huang Yu, said, “The reinforcements from Middle Ground haven’t arrived yet?”

They had long sent a message to request reinforcement from the five regions, or else with Southern Border’s strength alone, they could not stop the Evil Spirit army at all.

The Kun Peng ancestor shook his head and said in a serious tone, “The five regions are in danger too. Middle Ground will most likely be incapable of aiding us.

“We have to make a decision quickly. If we continue dragging this, all of us will be wiped out!”

This danger was just too fearsome—once all the 100,000 mountains were occupied, there would be no hope anymore.

Huang Yu gnashed his teeth. “Let’s wait a while more. If there’s really no other way, then we’ll fight to the death! At most, we’ll perish. But even at death’s door, I will at least injure them heavily!”

The two Sub-Thearch old ancestors had resolute eyes as they swore to protect this land even at the cost of their life.

…

At that moment, the void surged.

A dazzling hole of light suddenly appeared in the sky and emitted a vast aura.

Figures walked out of the void passageway.

They were the prodigies led by the Void Sub-Thearch and Shen Tian.

Everyone was enraged upon taking in the scene.

The mountain range, which was originally like a paradise, had already turned into ruins.

Smoke could be seen rising from everywhere, and blood flowed like a river—the whole place was in ruins.

Even 100,000-feet-high mountains were sliced apart in the middle, and shattered stones flew in all directions.

Evil Spirits swung their swords and slaughtered Southern Border cultivators wantonly.

The sky was dyed blood red, and mountains of corpses could be seen everywhere. It was a terrifying scene that would send chills down others’ backs.

“Damn you!”

The numerous prodigies glared at the Evil Spirits with anger as ardor and zeal coursed through their blood.

Shen Tian ordered coldly, “Kill!”

“Understood!”

The numerous prodigies erupted with endless aura as they attacked.

At that instant, various avatars appeared.

The surging aura instantly wiped out the Evil Spirits below the Sub-Immortal level, and they could not even let out a wail.

The prodigies were originally powerful, and among them were108 peerless paragons with the battle strength that was on par with a Sub-Immortal’s.

They all attacked and annihilated countless Evil Spirits, forcibly wiping clean a whole area.

…

The Southern Border cultivators were overjoyed and hurriedly shouted, “Reinforcements have arrived. We are saved!”

“Brothers, charge and kill those Evil Spirit infants!”

Seeing how the five regions’ cultivators had arrived, it was as if the Southern Border demons had obtained a new lease of life.

They were all fired up and started to counterattack. They wanted to completely wipe out those Evil Spirits.

Huang Yu and the Kun Peng ancestor finally heaved a sigh of relief once they saw the reinforcements and said, “They’ve finally arrived.”

At that moment, the three Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits charged toward them. Their gazes were brutal as they emitted a tyrannical aura.

“Another batch of people courting death!”

“Today, this land is destined to be destroyed! All of you have to die!”

The three Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits attacked in rage and circulated their evil aura, preparing to kill the reinforcements from the five regions.

“Stop them!”

The Kun Peng ancestor shouted loudly as he rushed out with Huang Yu.

At the same time, the Void Sub-Thearch strode forward and stood ramrod straight in mid-air.

The three Sub-Thearchs had finally met and were at a standstill with the three Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits.

One of the Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits scoffed. “Do you really think that the three of you can stop us?”

“Attack!”

The three Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits attacked at once and unleashed terrifying power.

Their fearsome evil fog-like aura covered the whole sky and turned into a huge mouth as if wanting to devour this world.

“Fight!”

The two ancestors suddenly soared into the sky, and they released an immense aura that surged throughout the whole sky.

The Kun Peng ancestor shone brightly and directly transformed into a gargantuan Kun Peng. He flew high into the sky and charged toward one of the Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits.

Huang Yu also unleashed his power, and endless Divine Phoenix Fire burst out from within him, surging through the whole place.

Orange flames overwhelmed the whole ground and dispersed the evil aura fog, emitting a formidable aura.

On the other side, the Void Sub-Thearch suddenly entered the void and gathered peerless mighty power before attacking the remaining Perfected Immortal Evil Spirit.

Both sides fought a fierce battle, their terrifying auras sweeping through heaven and earth.

The fabrics of space were instantly shattered into ruins as countless laws exploded, shaking heaven and earth.

That was the battle between Sub-Thearchs—it was so frightening that no one dared to be involved.

The good thing was that both sides were concerned about their allies, so they flew into the air and battled.

However, just the impact from the battle could destroy a territory of 10,000 miles.

…

Although three Sub-Thearch had made a move and stopped the three Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits, the situation was still disadvantageous to the five regions since the Evil Spirit army was simply too huge.

In addition, Evil Spirits were still coming out of the wormhole non-stop.

Therefore, the Southern Border cultivators were knocked back once again.

Meanwhile, the prodigies of the five regions also faced strong resistance.

Over 200 Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits had appeared in front of them, and behind them stood thousands of Sage Evil Spirits ready to fight.

Those Evil Spirits emitted a fearsome aura that was boundless and extremely terrifying.

Everyone frowned as the Evil Spirit army was just too powerful and simply could not be blocked.

Shen Tian stepped forward and said in a serious tone, “Set up the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation.”

He formed hand seals and threw the Spherical Heaven Chessboard into the air.

In that instant, a drastic change occurred.

Countless stars gathered and emitted a brilliant light.

At the same time, an unparalleled aura filled the air.

Resplendent stars appeared in the void and descended, enveloping the whole area completely.

Shen Tian said with a serious expression, “Occupy the different star positions and kill the enemies using the formation’s power.”

Shen Tian had taught the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation to those prodigies before coming so that they could control it.

In the end, the formation’s power far surpassed that of a single person in such a large-scale war.

The Heavenly Cycle Star Formation could gather the strength of countless people and unleash battle prowess that was tens of times more.

“Understood!”

Upon hearing Shen Tian’s words, the prodigies all responded.

108 paragons took out the Heavenly Cycle Chessboards and pointed them to the sky.

The remaining prodigies took out Dao Flags and scattered them in the surroundings.

In that instant, divine light flowed everywhere.

Stars shone brightly in the sky as the prodigies stayed in their respective positions to activate the Heavenly Cycle Stars Formation.

Countless stars descended and surrounded them, giving off a dazzling light.

Their auras instantly increased exponentially and merged with the stars in the sky, erupting with astonishing battle prowess.

Upon noticing the increase in their strength, the paragons were elated.

“Kill!”

They attacked the numerous Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits.

Boom!

The sound of battle resounded throughout the whole area.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle as their might shook heaven and earth.

The 200+ Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits had fearsome strength and could easily wipe out sacred-ground-level forces.

Meanwhile, the Evil Spirits were also joining hands and setting up a formation.

They stood at their respective positions and unleashed an endless evil aura, which could shatter mountains and rivers.

It was fortunate that five regions’ paragons had received the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation’s enhancement.

Therefore, the two sides were quite well-matched in the fight.

…

However, there were also Evil Spirit Sages besides the Sub-Immortal ones.

This time, the Evil Spirit race had sent out most of their people. There were 100 Sage Evil Spirits and dozens of Mighty Sage Evil Spirits.

This was a fearsome force that could be on par with dozens of Sub-Immortal cultivators.

If they were to attack from the side, the five regions’ paragons and prodigies would definitely be heavily affected.

Seeing that the 200+ Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits were being held back, those Sage Evil Spirits all stepped forward, preparing to break the stalemate.

…

At that moment, Shen Tian moved and stood in front of the numerous Sage Evil Spirits alone.

The Sage Evil Spirits revealed hideous smiles.

“Impertinent kid, are you planning to fight all of us yourself?”

“You’re courting death!”

The surrounding Sage Evil Spirits sneered and laughed non-stop. They felt that Shen Tian was overly presumptuous.

He wants to block all of us by himself?

Surprisingly, Shen Tian had a nonchalant expression as he spoke. “Death to those who take another step!”

“Arrogant!”

Instantly, dozens of Sage Evil Spirit unleashed ferocious attacks toward Shen Tian.

Shen Tian’s expression did not change at all as he flicked his sleeve gently.

In that instant, an extremely bright silver light appeared and pierced through the sky.

Clang!

Dazzling sword light filled the air.

Before those dozens of Sages could make a sound, they were directly sliced in half.

“What?”

The numerous Evil Spirits were astounded. So many Sages were killed in just one strike!?

“Don’t be afraid. Let’s attack together!”

“I don’t believe that kid could stop all of us!”

Dozens of Mighty Sage Evil Spirits had all joined forces and attacked. They each led dozens of Great Sages and 100 True Sages to attack Shen Tian from all directions.

Shen Tian said in a bantering manner, “Boundless Universe Formation, activate!”

A drastic change occurred as the power of heaven and earth gathered to form the vast Divine Emblems.

Instantly, heaven and earth were turned upside down.

An astonishing formation appeared in the sky that emitted an indomitable aura.

Countless laws gathered to form the Universe Divine Sword with unparalleled sharpness and sliced countless Dao cracks.

This was the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter’s supreme formation, and it possessed mighty power.

Back then, the Zhuge and Sima ancestors had used this formation to slaughter mighty figures.

Under Shen Tian’s control, it was a piece of cake to kill those Sage Evil Spirits.

In an instant, the Boundless Universe Formation pressed down and enveloped the 1,000 Sage Evil Spirits.

“What formation is this? Why is it so terrifying!?”

“No!”

“Ahhh!”

Blood dyed the sky, and tragic howls could be heard non-stop.

The astonishing formation’s power was enough to make the Evil spirits’ bodies explode and annihilate their souls.

This ghastly scene left everyone dumbstruck.

They stared straight at the figures in the sky as they were dazzled by that sight.

The Southern Border demons exclaimed, “That person, just who is he? How is he so powerful?”

Meanwhile, the five regions’ prodigies were even more astounded.

Although they knew that Shen Tian had peerless battle strength, they could not help but be dumbstruck once they saw him killing almost 1,000 Evil Spirits with one strike.

Sheng Yangxu, Xiang Zhonglou, and others exchanged looks and saw the astonishment in each others’ eyes.

They could not help but exclaim, “Brother Shen is really exceptional!”

However, afterward, Sheng Yangxu narrowed his eyes and said in a serious tone, “Brothers, we can’t fall behind Brother Shen too much.”

“Kill off those Evil Spirit infants!”

“Chase them out of our region completely!”

The paragons and prodigies also attacked and unleashed their powers.

By borrowing the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation’s power, they were actually able to overpower the 200+ Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits that those Southern Border demons were unable to resist.

If this continued, they would be able to end the battle shortly.

…

At that moment, a drastic change occurred in the void.

Another three fearsome existences appeared from the wormholes.

Their auras were like a raging wave that swept through the whole place.

In that instant, countless cultivators were sent flying and vomited blood.

Their collective aura was just too terrifying—it was much stronger than a Sub-Immortal’s.

Those Southern Border demons were astonished.

“There’s a mistake in our intel. It’s not three Perfected Immortals… It’s six, a total of six Perfected Immortals!”

Now, everyone’s eyes were filled with despair.

They had lasted until the five region’s reinforcements arrived and thought they could be saved since the Void Sub-Thearch and the two Demon Sub-Thearchs could stop the three Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits.

Afterward, they would only need to kill off the remaining Evil Spirits to be able to achieve victory.

However, who would have expected that three more Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits were hiding in secret within the wormholes.

Such a force was not something they could go against!

Those three Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits revealed hideous smiles.

“Originally, we wanted to dispose of those old things from Middle Ground.”

“But who would have thought that they’re so timid to have only sent one person.”

“It’s alright, however. We’re lucky today to be able to encounter such a supreme treasure!”

The three Perfected Immortals’ eyes were glued on the Spherical Heaven Chessboard as their eyes turned green with greed.

That was an invaluable supreme artifact, and even Perfected Immortals would be greedy for it!

Such a supreme treasure was simply a waste in the hands of a junior.

In that instant, the three Perfected Immortals’ eyes became increasingly cruel.

They stared at Shen Tian like they were looking at their prey.

…

The Perfected Immortal leading the army revealed a hideous smile and said, “Kid, give that treasure to me obediently!

“If I’m in a good mood, I may let you die painlessly.”

From his point of view, Shen Tian was nothing to him.

As long as Shen Tian was slain, he would be able to take the supreme treasure.

Such a supreme artifact will definitely be mine!
