The arrows rained down. These arrows were different from the ones in the mortal world. They were surrounded by flames, and upon closer inspection, there were officials, soldiers, scholars, peddlers, servants, fishermen, farmers, and many other forms. These flames were the embodiment of the world and the morals of the human race.
As the arrows were shot, they burned in the air.
The demon general took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and let out a roar.
The roar was forceful. The surrounding demon soldiers suddenly gathered their strength and gathered on the demon general's body, forming a shield.
This shield was painted with layers of demonic shadows, blocking the arrows. In the blink of an eye, the arrows rained down from the sky like meteors, hitting the shield.
"Boom!" A deafening sound was heard, and a strong force exploded, creating waves that blew away the snow formed by the demonic aura. The demonic aura and dragon aura intertwined, clashing fiercely and burning in the air.
Hundreds of demon soldiers were torn to pieces, and screams could be heard. At this time, Pei Zi Yun was only ten meters away.
"Half Moon Slash!" The sword in Pei Zi Yun's hand transformed into a dragon spear, and a golden crescent moon flew out. With a 'pu' sound, more than twenty demon soldiers were sliced into two, and a thick mist of demonic blood sprayed out from their bodies.
"Electric Serpent Strike!" Following that, the tip of the dragon spear flashed with lightning, turning into an electric serpent that was one meter long.
The electric serpent seemed to have a mind of its own. Following Pei Zi Yun's movements, it swept across and rushed into the demon soldiers.
In the underworld, this was not the so-called paralysis. With a "boom", the electric serpent split into hundreds of smaller electric arcs, and wherever it hit, more than ten demon soldiers were immediately vaporized.
"Ah ah —" A demon soldier that was vaporized let out a pitiful wail at the moment of destruction. This kind of destruction could not be reborn. Even the bloodthirsty demon soldiers who were used to death could not help but suck in a breath of cold air, their eyes revealing deep fear.
"Break!" Pei Zi Yun rushed in, and slashed at the shield.
The shield was originally shining with demonic light, but after being hit by the rain of arrows, it became translucent. At this time, when the sword slashed down, lightning flashed, and the shield exploded.
The Daemon Generals below had formed a shield with their Daemon Qi, but it was instantly broken. The Daemon Qi was like a pillar of smoke, instantly gushing out.
Swish, swish, swish. Another wave of arrows rained down. The Demon General didn't have time to block, and ten or so arrows pierced through his body, turning him into a hedgehog.
Boom! The demon general continued to struggle. His eyes were filled with anger, but his body was already shattered into pieces. Demonic Qi scattered in all directions, and the demon soldiers behind the demon general also collapsed. A bit of his primordial spirit floated out, but it disappeared without a trace.
"Kill!" Another volley of arrows rained down from the Imperial Court's Heroic Spirit Cavalry, landing on the demonic soldiers and exploding within the range of the demonic soldiers. Smoke and flames scattered in all directions.
The Blind Daoist looked at the scene before him and snorted coldly. He pointed out with his finger, and the Reincarnation Platform began to absorb the demonic energy at an even faster rate.
The eyes of several heavily-armored Fiend Generals on the statues below the platform lit up as they awoke with a red light.
"For my master, for the demon race." As soon as the demon general woke up, he let out a loud roar. Following his roar, even more demon soldiers gathered, all of them wearing heavy armor.
"Kill!" Pei Zi Yun had already regrouped with the Imperial Court's cavalry. He leapt onto a spiritual horse and squeezed his legs together. The warhorse reared its head and neighed loudly, before turning around and leaping towards the platform.
"How dare you!"
A loud roar could be heard from the front. Heavy armored Fiend Generals appeared. Their bodies were huge, and they were wrapped in chains. In their hands, they held huge metal balls with demonic inscriptions on them.
With these heavy armored Fiend Generals blocking the path in front of them, the surrounding demon soldiers had a buffer and surrounded them.
In the middle of the group, a Demon General rode his horse forward. This Demon General was clad in gold armor and a Black Flame Cloud Winged Helmet. He slowly raised his long spear, which was several times thicker than before. His expression was cold, and his killing intent had locked onto Pei Zi Yun. It seemed like he was a top expert in the demon army.
'Hmph, this kind of Demon General probably hasn't possessed a body yet. If we were on the ground, it would be very difficult to deal with him.' Pei Zi Yun's gaze swept across the platform. The aura emanating from the platform was unfathomable, and he had no intentions of attacking it. However, the fake mountain not far away was actually a part of the Dragon Veins. He had to obtain the authority over it, and he had to deal with it quickly.
"Kill!" With this thought in mind, a bugle horn appeared in the sky. The order to charge was given to the entire Empire's Elite Army, and the Fiend Generals began their charge.
Thousands of Empire's Elite Spirit Cavalry transformed into a torrent, rushing towards the enemy's formation. They formed a cone-shaped formation, and the sound of their hooves thundering could be heard. Blood could be seen everywhere, and a loud roar could be heard, "Long live the Empire!"
The Elite Spirit Cavalry raised their long spears high and charged into the enemy's formation. They were unstoppable, and did not fear death. In an instant, the entire area was filled with the screams of men and horses, as well as the clashing of weapons.
"Half Moon Slash." At the very front, a golden crescent moon flew out, killing twenty to thirty demon soldiers who tried to stop it. Following that, it clashed with the Demon General.
"Clang clang clang clang" The sounds of weapons clashing rang out incessantly. In the blink of an eye, they had already exchanged four blows. Even though the Demon General's skills were worthy of being called a famous general, his strength was not to be underestimated. The Demon General's black armor was covered in cracks, as demonic blood flowed out continuously. It was obvious that he was going to be defeated. His originally expressionless face was now filled with malevolence.
"Die!" A "pu" sound could be heard as the long spear transformed into a sword and sliced through the air. A human head flew into the air.
Seeing that Pei Zi Yun was undefeatable, the Imperial Army General praised him, "What a brave warrior. You are not alone."
"Enough." On the high platform, the Blind Daoist's face was as dark as still water. He could sense that yet another demonic spirit had disappeared. However, with the sacrifice of this Demon General, he was able to lock onto the location of the demonic spirit. With a single point of his finger, a loud boom could be heard as ten dim stars appeared, as well as thirteen bright stars. All of a sudden, they gathered together and formed a constellation.
The Blind Daoist gritted his teeth, "Indeed, with the sacrifice of so many Demon Generals, although the demonic spirits have been absorbed, they have yet to be digested. I can now lock onto them and imprison them."
"Come on, Thousand Demon Array!" As he spoke, the Blind Daoist spoke in the ancient language of the Demon Race, with a strange rhythm.
The statues beneath the Reincarnation Platform were of different colors and postures. All of a sudden, they lit up and resonated with each other.
Every single one of them had the shadow of a Demon Race within them. They had a dignified aura about them, and their postures and postures were completely different from the Demon Race.
With each breath, the demonic Qi within Paradise was like a sponge meeting water. It was rapidly absorbed and expanded, eventually forming a nebula that rose high up into the sky.
"Boom!" Pei Zi Yun slashed down with his sword, absorbing the Primordial Spirit. All of a sudden, his heart thumped as he raised his head. He saw that within Paradise, a nebula had appeared where it was originally snowing.
Within the nebula, stars twinkled and twinkled, causing the entire Paradise to be dyed in five different colors. It was almost like the night sky of the real world.
"Not good!" Pei Zi Yun's face fell. Before he could react, the nebula descended, enveloping Pei Zi Yun and the thousands of soldiers of the Imperial Court within it. As the nebula swirled, they all disappeared without a trace.
Cheng Yuanzi and his disciple's expressions changed. Just as they were about to panic, the Blind Daoist turned around. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but there was an indescribable eeriness in his eyes. "Fellow Daoist, since you've joined our Tribe, you should contribute to our Tribe. Please help me."
His words were polite, but Cheng Yuanzi's face fell. He was about to retort when the nebula's light shone down on Cheng Yuanzi and his disciple.
"Damn it." Cheng Yuanzi's face turned ashen. He only had time to curse before his body involuntarily fell down. The nebula spun, as though it was reflecting the stars in the sky. It shrank, and the nebula which had originally covered over half of Paradise disappeared without a trace.
And at this time, an hourglass appeared on the Reincarnation Platform. This hourglass was gold in color, and was made of some unknown material. It flashed with a silver light.
Within the hourglass, a nebula spun around, as though it was a world of its own. However, this world had stars that constantly fell, and the starlight that fell from the sky became dim.
"I didn't expect Pei Zi Yun to be so daring. He actually dared to follow the Immortal Dao Dragon Veins and attack this place. He even saw the truth about us."
Actually, all of this happened in just a few minutes. The battle was intense, and the scholar looked at the hourglass on the Reincarnation Platform. Only then did he find the time to speak. As for Cheng Yuanzi's fate, he had already predicted it. For such an ambitious person who had just joined the Demon Tribe, he was very suitable as cannon fodder.
"Yes, of course. He's an Earth Immortal and a True Sovereign. He even has the Imperial Qi of the Imperial Court. He can go anywhere he wants!" When the Blind Daoist heard the scholar's words, he looked around. The Demonic Qi had dissipated, and the corpses had disappeared as well. Apart from the battle going on in the distance, everything had returned to normal. He then laughed to himself, "I've read Pei Zi Yun's report over and over again. This person is actually an outstanding talent."
"His martial arts, Dao Arts, and strategies are all top notch. If not for our Thousand Demons Formation, we wouldn't have been able to subdue him."
"However, no matter how outstanding he is, he's different from us."
"We've been through many different worlds, and everything we've done has been accumulated over a million years. Even if this person is the Son of Heaven, his lack of experience is his weakness."
"If it were us, under the same circumstances, we wouldn't dare to charge in."
"Your Majesty is wise. However, we've joined the army and used the Demonic Qi to conceal ourselves. This is still within the limits of the Imperial Qi. However, we're still not the owners of the Imperial Qi." The scholar seemed to be worried as he spoke out.
"Now that we've turned the tables on Pei Zi Yun and activated the Thousand Demons Formation, more than half of the energy was extracted from King Lu's Imperial Qi. Although King Lu wasn't aware of it, he would still be enraged. The Imperial Qi would naturally cause a backlash. How would this end? I'm afraid it would be detrimental to our race. "
The Blind Daoist didn't speak for some time. A gust of cold wind blew past him, and he felt a chill run down his spine. After some time, he turned to look at the scholar and sighed, "This is something that cannot be avoided. Our Qi is precious now, and cannot be wasted here. The only way is to extract the Imperial Qi."
"Besides, as long as I kill this person and obtain some of his energy, we can then cleanse ourselves and become the legitimate race of this world. For this, what can't I sacrifice?"
"Even if we offend King Lu, it's still worth it." The Blind Daoist spoke as he raised his head and looked at the hourglass. He paused for sometime before speaking, "The only thing we can do now is to kill this person before the hourglass ends."
"As for the other consequences, we shall deal with them later!"
