In order to put pressure on the human defenders and cooperate with the Nightmare's assassination.
Demon Commander Dark Night and the army of the devil race attacked continuously for two hours.
The defensive array covering the northern gate was broken through eight times in succession, each time creating cracks and holes.
However, the cracks and holes in the defensive array were quickly repaired.
Apart from the Nightmare and the demonic fog and poisonous gas, the demon army could not enter Central Continent City through the cracks.
Now, the Nightmare's actions had been exposed and the plan had failed, escaping from Central Continent City.
Demon Commander Dark Night did not waste any more time and the lives of the demon soldiers, decisively stopping the attack.
In a short hundred breaths of time, more than a hundred thousand undead skeletons and more than six hundred thousand demon soldiers retreated like a tide, quickly leaving Central Continent City.
The shouts and sounds of fighting near the northern gate gradually weakened and dissipated.
The morning sun was about to rise and a new day was about to arrive.
The first battle between the two armies had also ended.
Although this battle was only a probing attack by the demons.
But the battle was extremely bitter and the result was also shocking.
Outside the northern gate, the moat was covered in countless bones and demon corpses, the river water also turning dark red.
On the wasteland, there were piles of white bones and demon corpses all over the ground.
At least four hundred thousand undead skeletons and more than three hundred thousand demon soldiers were killed in this battle.
The human defenders also suffered several tens of thousands of deaths and a hundred thousand injuries.
Five barracks in Central Continent City were destroyed and more than six hundred thousand human soldiers were massacred by the Nightmare.
In comparison, the human losses were even more disastrous.
After the battle ended, the soldiers immediately busied themselves, cleaning up the battlefield, reinforcing the defensive array, and rebuilding the barracks.
The Imperial Tutor and several commanders hurried to the City Lord's Mansion to report the situation to the Emperor.
After the Emperor learned of the situation, he thought for a while and then issued several orders to strengthen the defenses of Central Continent City.
In particular, those defensive arrays needed to be strengthened to prevent the Nightmare from sneaking into the city and causing trouble again.
… …
In the Emperor's Mansion, the Imperial Palace was still quiet.
In the dimly lit secret room, Ji Tianxing was still sitting cross-legged on the Frigid Ice Jade Bed, completely focused on cultivating.
In another seven days, the two month deadline would be up.
At that time, the ancient divine formation in the secret chamber would shut down and lose the effect of time acceleration.
Now, Ji Tianxing had already cultivated the third level of the Sword Soul Dao. His Martial Dao foundation was even more solid, and his strength had also increased by two times.
He was still meditating on a lost art, the fifth sword of the Burial Of Heaven, the Seven Stars Sword.
Before Burial Of Heaven entered the Ninth Heaven Cauldron, he taught him the fifth sword technique.
The power of this sword technique was too strong, and the cultivation requirements were also very high.
Only when he reached the Essence Soul realm would he have a chance of successfully cultivating it.
Big Dipper Sword, one sword to shatter seven stars.
If Ji Tianxing was strong enough, the fourth sword would be able to cut open the sky and see the starry sky.
The fifth sword strike could shatter seven stars with a single strike.
The stars were unreachable. Although they looked small, they were actually another vast and magnificent world.
From this, it could be seen how terrifying the might of this Big Dipper Sword had attained!
It was no exaggeration to say that this was a true god-tier sword art!
Only those in the Martial God Realm could unleash the true power of the sword technique.
Ji Tianxing paid no attention to the matters of the outside world. He only cultivated with all his might and did his best to increase his strength.
The day he mastered this divine art would be the day he returned to the mountain and took revenge.
… …
A day passed quickly.
After a day of rest, Central State City temporarily calmed down.
Several defensive formations had also been strengthened by the Emperors and commanders, and the defenses were even tighter.
In the middle of the night, muffled rumbling came from the north of Central State City.
This was the sound of thousands of soldiers and horses trampling over the earth. It spread far and wide in the silent night.
The human soldiers sensed that something was wrong. Realizing that the Demon Army was about to launch another attack, they immediately blew the horn to defend.
The million soldiers guarding the north of the city were immediately on high alert.
The defensive formations were pushed to their limits, forming a dazzling seven-colored barrier that illuminated half of the city.
More than a hundred thousand elite soldiers climbed up the city walls. They lined up in a row with bows and crossbows, and set up all kinds of defensive equipment.
The Imperial Tutor and various commanders hurried to the north gate, personally assuming command.
However, two hours later, the three million strong Demon Army had arrived outside Central State City, but they were divided into two groups.
The first group was led by Demon Commander Dark Night, attacking the north gate with all their strength.
The other group was led by Nightmare, attacking the east gate with all their strength.
Seeing this scene, the Imperial Tutor promptly made the corresponding arrangements. He sent several commanders to assist the Northern Frontier Divine General and Eastern Woods Divine General Xiao Han.
Not long after, the great battle began.
The war cries and roars of the million soldiers converged into a deafening sound wave that resounded in the sky above Central State City.
The two Demon Army launched an attack without any regard for anything.
This attack was very fierce, and definitely not probing. The Demon Army seemed to have made up their mind to break through the defenses of Central State City.
In front of the Demon Army were hundreds of thousands of Undead Skeletons and Evil Demons, attacking without any regard for their lives.
The hundreds of thousands of Demon Army soldiers formed a battle formation. Using the combined battle formation, they released attacks comparable to Primordial Spirit powerhouses, constantly bombarding Central State City's defensive formations.
The Demon Army even used more than two thousand fierce Demon Beasts.
These Demon Beasts were of different species and had different appearances, but they were all as large as mountains, possessing immense strength and terrifying destructive power.
They angrily roared and released powerful killing moves, fiercely attacking the two city gates.
The human army was under great pressure. Soon, the few defensive magic formations were broken. Cracks and holes appeared on the defensive magic formations.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Blood God Children who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly released poison, plagues, blood water, Demon Qi, and other powers, pouring them into Central State City.
They also created super earthquakes and floods, and even urged the surging magma of the earth's core to pour into Central State City.
Outside the north gate and east gate, the scene of the great battle was extremely intense, the scene incredibly chaotic.
Large numbers of casualties quickly appeared among the human soldiers. There were constantly people who died or were heavily injured and lost the ability to fight.
The human army garrisoned in the city continuously reinforced the two battlefields, filling in the gaps in their numbers.
The great battle continued for an entire two hours. The Demon Army's attacks were still fierce, without any intention of retreating.
The Imperial Tutor and the commanders all realized that the Demon Army's attack tonight was probably not that simple. They definitely had some sort of scheme or backup plan.
Just as everyone gathered together and discussed this matter with grave expressions, a monstrous bloody light flew over from the northern night sky.
Muffled rumbling noises could be heard coming from the mountains and wastelands in the distance.
