Chapter 439: Chapter 256: Ambush and Counterattack (Part 2)

However, after so long, the mysterious fog array remained unchanged, devouring a large number of refined corpses and Yin Ghosts, without any difficulty, truly instilling fear in them.

“Demon Ancestor, the loss of refined corpses and Yin Ghosts far exceeds expectations, the Corpse Mountain and Ghost Sea are about to be exhausted, the array continues on and its power is less than fifty percent!” Suddenly, a Demon Venerable broke the silence, reporting to Ancestor Wutian Demon.

Wutian Demon Venerable’s face darkened, nearly dripping with water.

“If this disaster is not eradicated, it will ruin this ancestor’s grand plan. Order the Golden Core subordinates, Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs, wear Immortal Demon Armor and enter the array to kill enemies with me!” Ancestor Wutian Demon suddenly stood up and issued orders that reached every Demon Cultivator’s Sea of Consciousness.

“We obey the ancestor’s command!”

All the Demon Cultivators turned pale, showing an indescribable look, yet fearing to delay and displease the ancestor, they hurriedly responded in unison.

Soon, following Wutian Demon Venerable’s order, the Demon Cultivators of the Nine Demons Sect reluctantly summoned a standardized black demon armor, each putting it on with gritted teeth and bitterness.

Looking at the black demon armors, they seemed alive, impatiently attaching themselves to their hosts once released.

The black demon armors were covered with large and small spikes, exuding a heavy, cold, and evil aura, while a strong, eerie black demon qi emanated from them.

After putting on the demon armor, the Demon Cultivators’ demeanor abruptly changed, their pupils turned completely black, hair became blood red, their bodies surged with powerful demon qi, growing muscular, skin darkening like leather roasted by fierce flames, their eyes sharp and cold akin to winter ice crystals, radiating endless killing intent, adorned with strands of mysterious demon flames.

Hundreds of Demon Cultivators, after donning demon armor, their cultivation levels elevated by a small realm, even the five Demon Venerables experienced similar effects, however, the demon qi from the armor quickly demonized the host’s Primordial Spirit.

The Golden Core and Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs in demon armor transformed into a well-trained troop, yet akin to mindless puppets, all gazing at Ancestor Wutian Demon, awaiting his command.

“Attack!”

Ancestor Wutian Demon wore an even higher tier, more formidable demon armor, waving his hand, pointing down at the fog array, his command filled with murderous intent.

As soon as Wutian Demon Ancestor’s words fell, hundreds of black shadows soared out from warships, fearlessly rushing towards the fog array below.

“Elder Li, Wutian Old Demon is taking action personally!”

“Wutian Demon Ancestor himself! The array definitely can’t hold! Fight!”

…

Within the fog protection array, witnessing the scene, Venerable Qingfeng and the four Nascent Soul True Monarchs’ faces changed dramatically, their hands clasping Tier Five Spirit Talismans, ready to support Li Mu at any moment.

Li Mu took a deep breath, took out the Tier Six, swallowed the Supreme Profound Clarity Pill and a Tier Five Creation Pill simultaneously, restoring the greatly depleted Divine Thought and cultivation, invigorating his spirit, transforming the Five Elements Array into a defense array, resisting the outside attack from Ancestor Void Refining Demon and several Demon Venerables.

“Boom! Boom… Boom!”

Sharp demon qi slammed onto the Five Elements Array, a fierce recoil force conveyed instantly from the array.

“Puff puff!”

Even Xiaojin and Xiaowa, who were only of Tier Five, were struck heavily, each spitting blood, their spirits waned.

The Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon, Chi Lian Fire Phoenix similarly encountered immense force backlash, taking steps back.

Li Mu grunted, immediately arranging a backup – deploying the Tier Six Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape in Xiaojin’s spot, while simultaneously controlling two Tier Six Spirit Treasures of earth and wood, continuing to maintain the Five Elements Array.

Following this, Li Mu gritted his teeth, summoned the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, releasing a large amount of Five Elements Spiritual Power from the mansion, and restored the Five Elements Protection Array to a stable state.

Seeing this, Venerable Qingfeng and the four Nascent Soul True Monarchs of Qingyang beamed with joy, unexpectedly, at this point, Elder Li still had a backup, maintaining the Five Elements Protection Array.

However, if defending like this continues, the Five Elements Array will eventually be broken, against the opponent’s Ancestor Wutian Demon, five Demon Venerables, and dozens of Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs, their combined power will surely overwhelm the array’s defense soon.

“Boom boom…” The intense explosion sounds rang ceaselessly.

Wutian Demon Ancestor had already erupted in fury, delivering ten heavy punches, each containing Heaven and Earth Destruction power, fiercely striking the Five Elements Array.

However, it held, the Five Elements Array completely blocked his attacks.

The joint technique attacks of the Demon Venerables, they still could not take down this small protection array?

Intolerable!

Wutian Demon Ancestor summoned a black demon blade, slashed it fully, a black blade light instantly vanished, striking the Five Elements Array down.

“Zzz…”

The demon flame blade light sliced through the Five Elements Array, allowing the Demon Cultivators to pour in.

At the next moment, a Sword Dragon descended from the sky, its imposing force boundless.

“Swish swish…”

Thousands of sharp Spirit Swords dove like rain, drowning the demon-armored Demon Cultivators instantly.

Caught off guard, the Demon Cultivators suffered heavy blows, yet, wearing the demon armor, non-lethal sword wounds quickly healed, though a few unfortunate ones had their hearts pierced, heads severed, the armor couldn’t revive them.

“Who are you?”

Watching the young man controlling the ’Sword Dragon,’ Wutian Demon Ancestor’s powerful Refining Void Divine Sense swept towards Li Mu directly.

“Buzz!” A crisp bell sound released strong Power of the Divine Soul, clashing with Ancestor Wutian Demon’s Divine Thought attack, instantly offsetting his assault.

“Hmm! What are you?” Wutian Demon Venerable curiously asked Xiaobai using a Soul-Calming Bell.

After the Five Elements Array was breached, the interior scene was completely exposed.

A young cultivator barely at mid-stage Nascent Soul, surrounded by a few remnants of Qing Xuan Sect; presumably he orchestrated the array resisting Nine Yin Extremity Spirit Array, causing his two subordinates – Si Li and Xue Tu to fall as the culprit.

Around him were several high-tier demon beasts, Flood Dragons, Fire Phoenixes, Demon Apes…, each Beast Tamer equipped with a Tier Six Spirit Treasure, hence the Five Elements Array was led by these beasts and the young man.

“No matter who you are, die!”

Being stalled by a mid-stage Nascent Soul lad for so long, losing two Demon Venerable subordinates, and numerous refined corpses, Yin Ghosts.

Wutian Demon Ancestor, holding the demon blade, slashed forth instantly.

Seeing Wutian Demon Ancestor charging fiercely, Li Mu displayed no fear, faintly smiling as he said: “Senior, if you don’t assist now, I won’t help you in treasure refining.”

What!

Wutian Demon Ancestor was momentarily stunned, his expression changed dramatically, hastily altering his move, the blade aiming elsewhere.

A cyan figure appeared in a flash, the cyan longsword fiercely chopped against the black demon blade.

“Boom!” An explosive blast, the earth cracked, the atmosphere changed colors, a powerful shockwave roared towards all directions.

Suddenly, nearby demon cultivators were toppled, some even die spitting blood, suffering massive losses.

“Master Li, I arrived at the first moment I received the news, thankfully not too late! By the way, Thunder Beast senior heard you’re in trouble, and also came to support!” Venerable Qingwei cautiously watched Ancestor Wutian Demon, explaining to Li Mu.

As Venerable Qingwei finished speaking, while the surrounding demon cultivators were still recovering, suddenly, a thunder light appeared skyward, “Zzz!” a massive Thunder Serpent descended, accurately striking at them.

“Boom, boom!”

The Thunder Serpent transformed into countless bolts, the scene immediately turning into a thunder realm, the ground struck into hot magma by purple thunderbolts, claiming the lives of Demon Monarchs.

A magnificent purple form descended via thunder, rapidly landing before Li Mu, emanating frenzied purple thunder, staring down at all demon cultivators, intimidating everyone present.
