Desperate Siege! Long Chen Shatters the Evil Altars!
BOOM!
Long Chen’s soul power erupted, and in that instant—
He saw it.
Evil altars, one after another!
Each altar’s blood pool imprisoned the corpse of a powerful Shi Mo Clan warrior, their lifeless remains locked in an eternal curse.
Thousands of altars surrounded a towering mountain, forming a terrifying dark ritual array.
His spiritual sight pierced through the barriers, and at the mountain’s peak, he saw them—
Countless Shi Mo Clan warriors, their hands forming complex seals, their foreheads glowing with divine markings. They were pouring every last ounce of their strength into reinforcing the barrier.
But it was on the verge of collapse.
The barrier flickered and trembled, covered in cracks, threatening to shatter at any moment.
Inside, the Shi Mo Clan warriors were pale as ghosts, their bodies swaying, exhaustion written all over their faces.
"Damn it!"
A Shi Mo Clan warrior gritted his teeth, barely holding on.
"These damn Outer Realm Demons… they're using our ancestors' power to corrode our barrier!
If we survive this… I swear, I’ll slaughter them all!"
Another warrior clenched his fists, his voice filled with hatred.
"And those Nine Star Heirs—if it weren’t for them—"
He suddenly stopped speaking, sensing a sharp glare from nearby.
He swallowed his words, his face turning dark.
Their gazes drifted toward a distant figure—
A graceful woman stood at the center, her jade-like hands weaving complex seals in midair, blooming like lotus petals.
Her forehead shone brilliantly, illuminating the entire barrier.
She was Yue Xiaoqian, the Holy Maiden of the Shi Mo Clan.
Her Emperor Flames flickered unstably, on the verge of depletion.
Even her bloodline power and soul energy were beginning to wane.
She wouldn’t last much longer.
But still, she held on.
Behind Yue Xiaoqian, the Shi Mo Clan’s core disciples were gathered in formation, channeling their remaining power into her.
They all knew—
If Yue Xiaoqian fell, it was over.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
Fine cracks spread across the barrier. Yue Xiaoqian bit her lip.
"Is this… the end of my Shi Mo Clan?"
"Holy Maiden, give up!"
A one-armed female warrior stepped forward, her voice solemn.
"We’ll use the Life Return Technique. You must escape. One day, you will avenge us!"
HUM!
At her words, every Shi Mo warrior clenched their jaws and pressed a hand to the ‘Demon’ rune on their foreheads.
The Life Return Technique.
A forbidden spell—once activated, all of their power and life force would be transferred into Yue Xiaoqian, instantly restoring her energy and boosting her strength dozens of times over.
But the cost?
They would all die.
And even Yue Xiaoqian herself… would suffer unimaginable injuries.
But there was no choice.
The barrier was seconds from collapse—they had no other way.
"NO!"
Yue Xiaoqian gasped.
Every warrior here was an elite of the Shi Mo Clan—if they all died, their entire future would be destroyed!
"Holy Maiden, stay strong. To fight for you is our greatest honor."
The one-armed warrior smiled faintly.
"HUM!"
A divine light flared from her forehead—
And then—
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Explosions thundered from outside the barrier.
One by one, the altars collapsed!
Yue Xiaoqian’s eyes widened in shock.
"STOP! We’re saved!" she screamed.
Because in that moment—
She sensed Long Chen’s presence.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Within the collapsing altars, the imprisoned Shi Mo warriors’ divine runes were ignited by Long Chen’s soul power.
BOOM!
A terrifying energy shattered the altars, turning them into rubble.
The demons guarding the altars were instantly obliterated, their bodies reduced to dust!
Long Chen took a deep breath, his heart heavy.
"Forgive me…"
"This is the only way I can preserve your final dignity."
The situation was dire. There wasn’t enough time to stop the evil ritual array, so he had no choice but to destroy the fallen warriors’ corpses.
As the last altar crumbled, the Outer Realm demons recoiled in shock.
They had no idea what was happening.
And then—
CRACK!
The barrier over Devil Cloud Mountain shattered completely!
It had already been at its limit. The shockwaves from the exploding altars became the final straw.
A thunderous voice boomed across the battlefield:
"Allies! Kill every last Shi Mo warrior! Leave no survivors!
The rest… leave to the Heavenly Demon Clan!"
A terrifying Emperor’s aura erupted—
A true powerhouse had arrived.
A Heavenly Demon Clan Emperor, who had just fused with his Emperor Flames and stepped into the Gui Yi Realm.
Though powerful, he had remained at the rear, wary of the Shi Mo Clan’s countermeasures.
But now, sensing Long Chen’s intervention, he knew—
The battle had changed.
And so, he ordered the other demon clans to attack first.
Then, he spread his divine sense across the battlefield—
And locked onto Long Chen’s position.
"There you are!"
With a demonic roar, he charged straight at Long Chen!
"KILL!!!"
The endless horde of Outer Realm creatures swarmed toward the Shi Mo Clan, their war cries shaking the heavens.
"Warriors of the Shi Mo Clan!" Yue Xiaoqian shouted.
"Help has arrived! Hold on just a little longer, we—"
Suddenly, her vision went black.
She staggered, nearly collapsing!
"Holy Maiden!"
The one-armed female warrior cried out, rushing to support her.
Yue Xiaoqian gritted her teeth.
"I’m just exhausted…"
She took a deep breath and forced herself to stand.
"Long Chen is coming! No more casualties! We’ve held on this long—
Victory is within reach!"
She clenched her jaw and slowly drew her long sword.
But Long Chen was still too far away.
First, they had to survive the oncoming tide of enemies.
These creatures weren’t incredibly strong—their strongest warriors barely had 998 Dao Emperor Flames.
Under normal circumstances, they would have been nothing.
But right now—
The Shi Mo warriors were utterly drained.
Even these weaklings posed a deadly threat.
"Protect the Holy Maiden with your lives!"
A desperate battle was about to begin—
Until—
WHOOOOOSH!
A sudden storm of scarlet flower petals filled the air, forming a new barrier around the mountain.
"What…?"
The Shi Mo warriors were stunned.
SHINK! SHINK! SHINK!
The invading creatures were instantly shredded by the petals, their bodies exploding into mist!
The delicate petals were razor-sharp, piercing through divine weapons as if they were paper.
And then—
RUMBLE!
The ground erupted—countless translucent vines shot out like demonic tendrils, piercing through the enemies.
Screams filled the air.
Zhi Zhi had arrived.
The Devil Vine Beast reveled in slaughter, its countless tendrils ripping through the horde like a harvester of death.
The battlefield became a hellish nightmare.
Even the battle-hardened Shi Mo warriors trembled at the sight.
And then—
"Long Chen!"
The Heavenly Demon Emperor locked eyes with him.
"Hand over the Qiankun Cauldron, and I’ll give you a whole corpse!"
WHOOSH!
Cang Lu appeared beside Long Chen, but—
Long Chen pushed him aside.
"This one’s mine!"
