Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 464: Chapter 288: Demon Corpse_2

Formed by the amalgamation of the Heavenly Demon Great Skill, Blood Sea Divine Reflecting, and the Nine Absolute Extreme Reverses—three great Divine Martial Techniques—this was known as the number one Demon Array in the world and was the greatest potentiality of the Demon Sect.

With the activation of the Great Array, the Demon God appeared in this world. Standing tall and reaching into the heavens, it charged into the dark firmament, initiating an offensive to test the foundation of its opponent.

The Array was divided into main types: there were offensive and killing Arrays, defensive Arrays, and illusionary Arrays, each different from the other.

The Heavenly Demon Array belonged to the offensive and killing type, more adept at attacking than defending.

But sometimes, offense is the best defense!

The majestic stance of the Great Demon God was ferocious as it burst into the sky, its six arms raised as if to tear through the veil of darkness.

However…

Yang Yun clouds tumbled, the great black sky clashed, and thunder exploded upon contact. In an instant, the world turned bleak white, with golden snakes dancing wildly as streak after of wave struck against the Demon God’s form.

But the Demon God’s strength was immense, entirely unfazed, its six arms grasping and tearing, shredding the boundless Yang Yun clouds into pieces.

Unexpectedly, after the shroud of darkness was torn apart, a light appeared, descending from the sky and piercing through the Demon God’s head.

“Spurt!!!”

A muffled sound erupted, shaking heaven and earth, as the Demonic Qi dissipated with the penetration of the Demon God’s head.

“This…!?”

Everyone’s expression changed as they fixed their gaze, only to see within the vast dark canopy a boundless and brilliant light.

Light—of White Jade, of Immortal Spirit!

The White Jade Divine Light shone brightly, blossoming resplendently.

The firmament shattered, the dark veil ripped apart.

In the broken space amidst the torn clouds, a giant city—a massive city of White Jade, startling in appearance—came into view.

The Immense city, so vast its size was incalculable, resembled the Heavenly Palace Immortal Que, manifesting above the ninth heaven.

“This…!?”

Even the Divine Intent Venerable and the venerable demons, Yan Qiuqiu and Luo Shentong, couldn’t help but change their expressions, staring with shock at the White Jade Immortal City in the sky.

What is this?

What is this!

The Temple of War God?

Impossible!

A moment of shock, a moment of alarm, causing minds to scatter and formations to become chaotic.

Fortunately, at that moment…

“Roar!”

A roar resounded as dark Demonic Qi surged ferociously, and a blood-red light reflected, with the Demon God’s head that was pierced by the White Jade Immortal Light rapidly regenerating. Its might not lessened but rather intensified. The Demon God’s six arms furiously extended, reaching for the White Jade Immortal City.

The Heavenly Demon Array, focusing on offense, surely had the capital for it. The Heavenly Demon God it formed was not only tremendously powerful but also continuously absorbed the Heavenly Devil Qi, waters of the Blood Sea, and the power of the Earth Vein to regenerate itself. As long as the Array stood unbroken, the Demon God could not die.

How to break the Array?

Its foundation lay in the Heavenly Demon Great Skill, Blood Sea Divine Reflecting, and the Nine Absolute Extreme Reverses—these three grand diagrams continuously drew upon the Heavenly Earth Prime Spirit. Given the vast amount of Spirit Crystals accumulated over tens of thousands of years by the Demon Sect, the array almost had no flaws, nor was there the possibility of wearing it out to death.

To break the Array, one could only rely on a powerful attack!

Yet, with this Array’s power, even those on the Immortal Path Returning to Void or Martial Path’s Earth Tribulation would find it hard to break through directly.

What to do now?

High above the nine heavens, the towering White Jade Immortal City stood, its Five Palaces within releasing a dazzling light, casting five divine beams of blue, yellow, red, white, and black upon the black Heavenly Demon God climbing towards it.

“Boom!”

The Five Colors Divine Light and the Demon God’s six arms clashed with a shock that trembled the heavens and the earth.

“Roar!!!”

Then there followed a terrible howl from the Demon God as the Five Colors Divine Light, sharp as swords, pierced through the body of the Demon God where its internal organs would be.

This Demon God was formed of Demonic Qi becoming an Array Spirit, not a real body of flesh and blood; according to reason, it should not have internal organs at all, nor any fatal vulnerabilities.

But under the piercing of the Five Colors Divine Light’s sword, it seemed as though it had developed organs, only to be restricted by the Five Elements which it was susceptible to—metal, wood, water, fire, earth—all acting upon the Demon’s body.

“Hm!?”

Within the Heavenly Demon Palace, at the place of the Array’s eye—the Demon Abyss—a light utterance of surprise was heard, followed by the changing of the Array’s movement, ready to dissipate the form and reconstitute the body of the Demon God.

The Array unbroken, the Heavenly Demon undying; so long as the enemy’s divine light couldn’t break the Array in one stroke, it could keep on reforming the Demon God.

However…

“Hum!”

The Array thrummed, and the Demon God trembled; the Five Colors Divine Light passing through its body indeed created a sealing effect, locking the Demon God and the Heavenly Demon Array in place, preventing it from dispersing or reconstituting.

Array against Array, Sealing Heaven and Locking Demon!

The Heavenly Demon Array, having integrated the rationale of three great Divine Martial formations, had already exceeded the fifth tier and stepped into the sixth order.

Yet the White Jade Capital, functioning as an Immortal Spirit Mech Armor with an embedded Immortal Artifact—the Five Elements Orb—also possessed a sixth-order great formation, that was the Five Elements Seal Heaven Lock Demon Great Formation comprehended from the Mysterious Heaven Sect’s Demon-locking Tower.

Among sixth-order great formations, it was one of the top types. In the World of Dao and Law, complemented by the five billion Artifact grade Mid-grade Immortal Spirit Mech Armor—the White Jade Capital—it had even repelled a cross-boundary strike from an Integration Great Demon.

Although the current White Jade Capital had only one billion Artifact grade, low-grade Immortal Spirit, leveraging the power of the Five Elements Seal Heaven Lock Demon Formation, it was sufficient to face and hold its own against the Heavenly Demon Array.

Heaven against Array, evenly matched. The Five Colors Divine Light piercing through the body of the Demon God, locking the enemy’s Array movement, preventing it from disassembling or reconstituting, both great formations entering a stalemate of intense attrition.

A contest of attrition is a contest of foundational strength—whoever has a deeper foundation, more Spirit Crystals, will emerge as the victor.

At this point, the advantage of fighting on one’s home ground began to show. The dark Demonic Qi surged menacingly, encroaching upon the White Jade Immortal City, channeling into the Heavenly Demon Divine Palace. As one waned and the other waxed, the gap widened. Coupled with the foundation of the Demon Sect and the Evil Path sects…

With such attrition, the opponent was bound to lose beyond doubt!

Seeing this, the Heavenly Demon Array ceased to shift, engaging in a relentless battle of attrition with the adversary.

But unexpectedly…

“Rumble!”

Within the Immortal City, lightning flashed and thunder roared, with the sound of beating drums echoing as clouds of thunder rose. Shadows flitted about these clouds, revealing thunder drums, electric mirrors, Command Flags, Mana Altars, and more.
