At the same time, an extremely powerful and oppressive force was released from the demonic clouds, slowly crushing down on the ground below.
All the self-cultivators under the demonic clouds instantly felt the great pressure. The descent of this pressure made it difficult for them to operate their martial arts normally. It was as if they were carrying a huge mountain on their backs. Their entire body was under great pressure.
As more and more demonic clouds gathered and became denser, the oppressive force on the entire Cultivation Domain gradually increased. Many sects, cities, and aristocratic families were unable to resist the crushing pressure even though they had activated their defensive barriers. Soon, they fell into a desperate situation.
Originally, they thought that after the Demons sect was forced to retreat, the Cultivation Domain would be safe. They did not expect that they would once again face the threat of death. Moreover, the pressure this time was even more powerful than the last time it appeared.
Under the shroud of the demonic clouds, even the Dongxu Stage experts felt an inexplicable throbbing and uneasiness in their hearts. Their originally tranquil state of mind also showed a trace of disorder. They all stared in the direction of the demonic clouds with astonishment on their faces.
When the demonic clouds finally reached a certain density, the entire Cultivation Domain was completely plunged into darkness. The oppressive force had already destroyed the defensive barriers of countless forces. A large amount of demonic energy poured down from the demonic clouds and poured into these forces.
Because of the suppression of the demonic clouds, the experts of these forces could not display their strength. When the demonic energy poured in, they could only resist for a moment before they could no longer resist the havoc of the demonic energy. Soon, these forces were swallowed up by the boundless demonic energy.
Wherever the demonic energy passed, it was like a hot knife through butter. In a short period of time, it swallowed up almost 30% of the forces in the Cultivation Domain. Although the remaining forces were still relying on their defensive barriers to resist, in the face of such a powerful pressure and the corrosion of the demonic energy, the remaining forces could not resist for long.
At the same time that the Cultivation Realm fell into the shadow of death, the battlefield near the sea also fell into chaos. Originally, the alliance was in the grasp of victory, but because of the sudden appearance of the Devil Cloud, the strength of every self-cultivator was greatly suppressed. Caught off guard, many were killed by the Devil Cloud.
The pressure of the demonic clouds did not suppress the Demons sect at all. Instead, it increased their martial arts, causing the Demons sect's strength to suddenly soar. Although they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, their overall strength surpassed the Alliance's front line.
In the Alliance's front line, even the experts of the Longevity Stage had their martial arts suppressed by about half. As for the experts below the Longevity Stage, only the geniuses like Luo Ping and the others were less affected by the demonic clouds with the help of some treasures.
The other members of the Alliance only had about 30% or 40% of their strength left. In the face of the crazy counterattack of the Demons sect, the Alliance's front line could only passively defend. They were beaten back and suffered more and more casualties.
When the sky was completely dark and the demonic energy filled the air, the strength of the Demons sect rose to a peak. On the other hand, the strength of the Alliance's front line was suppressed to a limit. Every member of the Alliance's front line felt very heavy.
"The demonic clouds' aura is so powerful that even a Level Nine spiritual weapon would not be able to release such an aura. It is estimated that even experts of the Dongxu Stage would be greatly affected under the pressure of the demonic clouds. It turns out that this is the Demons sect's final trump card."
Luo Ping thought to himself. He had more than one Level Nine spiritual weapon, so he naturally knew the aura released by a Level Nine spiritual weapon. The aura of the demonic clouds above had reached an indescribable level. It was actually able to cover the entire Cultivation Realm. Its power could be imagined.
In the Alliance's front line, the strongest cultivator was only at the late Longevity Stage. These late Longevity Stage experts were aware of the seriousness of the situation and felt uneasy. This was because they also found it difficult to display their strength. At this moment, there were only 20 or 30 people who were not affected too much. These people were all of the younger generation like Luo Ping.
Basically, the top 20 or 30 geniuses on the Demon Slaughter Rankings either had special constitutions, powerful treasures, or profound techniques that could resist the demonic clouds' aura.
As the strength of the people on the Alliance's front line was suppressed, they kept retreating. Only 20 or 30 people were left fighting in the front line. They lined up in a row and formed a connected defensive wall to resist the attacks of the Devil Race.
"The demonic clouds are strange and corrosive. Those below the Nascent Soul Stage, gather together and form a formation to resist the demonic clouds' aura. Leave the front line of the battlefield to us."
"As for the seniors in the Longevity Stage, you are responsible for dealing with the weaker members of the Demons sect. You absolutely cannot let the Demons sect's scheme succeed."
As a disciple of the Valley of the Sacred Sword, the leader of the eight first-rate sects, and as the top expert on the Demon Slaughter Rankings, Gongzi Yu directly ordered everyone to come up with a plan.
Hearing Gongzi Yu's words, everyone trusted him. Thus, the members below the Nascent Soul Stage immediately gathered together. After a moment of discussion, they quickly formed a formation and no longer participated in the battle. Instead, they focused on dealing with the threat of the demonic clouds.
The Longevity Stage experts were also very cooperative. Although their strength had decreased a lot, it was more than enough to deal with the weaker members of the Demons sect. Thus, after Gongzi Yu finished speaking, they all rushed to the back of the Demons sect.
The Demons sect experts were currently tied down by Luo Ping and the others, so they had no way of intercepting the Longevity Stage experts of the Alliance. These experts rushed to the back of the Demons sect and immediately used all their strength to kill the weaker members of the Demons sect.
Luo Ping didn't know how the others resisted the pressure of the demonic clouds, but he had already released the two Spirit Body Divine Lights. His body was now enveloped in red and blue light.
At the same time, he also used the first layer of Matter Star Transposition to change the state of the surrounding space. A portion of the demonic clouds' pressure was diverted to another location. This way, the pressure he had to bear was greatly reduced. With the help of the Spirit Body Divine Light and the Sandalwood Divine Art, he could resist normally.
Luo Ping's strength wasn't affected by the demonic clouds' pressure at all. As for the demonic aura, when it came into contact with his Spirit Body Divine Light, it seemed to have met its nemesis. It suddenly retreated and hovered three feet away from his body, unable to approach.
"The sudden increase in the strength of these Demons sect must be related to the sudden appearance of the demonic clouds. Only by breaking the demonic clouds in the sky can we truly defeat the Demons sect. Otherwise, even if we kill all of these Demons sect, the demonic aura pouring out from the demonic clouds will corrode the Cultivation Domain."
Luo Ping realized the power and threat of the demonic clouds. He was faintly worried. If the demonic clouds didn't dissipate, the Cultivation Domain would definitely be unable to escape the fate of being devoured by the demonic aura.
Although the Demons sect had sent so many members to invade the Cultivation Domain, there must be a lot of Demons sect's forces in the space. As long as the Cultivation Domain was completely devoured, these Demons sect would definitely come out in full force and occupy the Cultivation Domain in one fell swoop.
Therefore, the most important thing now wasn't to exterminate these Demons sect, but to break the demonic clouds in the sky. However, the demonic clouds enveloped the entire Cultivation Domain. No one knew how it was formed, so it wouldn't be easy to break it.
"Hmph, you'd better tell me honestly how the demonic clouds in the sky were formed. Otherwise, don't blame me for capturing you and using the Soul Searching Technique on you."
At this moment, Luo Ping was once again besieged by a few demons. Because the strength of the Demons sect had skyrocketed, Luo Ping had some difficulty dealing with them. At this moment, he was shouting at the demons besieging him.
Hearing Luo Ping's question, one of the demons didn't take it seriously and said, "You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Even if you know how the demonic clouds were formed, you can forget about breaking the demonic clouds in the sky because you don't have the strength to do so. Just obediently accept the fate of death."
"Although you people are special and can resist the pressure of the devilish clouds and the corrosion of the devilish energy, what about the others in the cultivation realms? They are not the same as you. I'm afraid they are already dead."
"At that time, how many people will be left in the Cultivation Domain, including all of you? A few hundred? A few thousand? Or tens of thousands? Do you think you can still resist at that time? "
The voice of this demon sounded very proud, as if he had already seen the scene of the Cultivation Domain being occupied by the Demons sect. Luo Ping heard this and his face turned serious because what the demon said was similar to what he had expected.
The entire battlefield in the sea was actually at the edge of the demonic clouds. The degree of pressure and the amount of demonic Qi pouring out was relatively weak. The demonic Qi in the Cultivation Domain was at least several times stronger than here.
With such a strong pressure and a large amount of demonic Qi, Luo Ping guessed that the defensive arrays of the third-class sects must have been destroyed long ago. He was afraid that the disciples of these sects must have suffered countless casualties and not many were left.
"I guess the Kongming Sect will not be able to escape this fate. Alas, they have withstood countless attacks from the Demons sect. I didn't expect them to be destroyed in such a way. I don't know how many people from the sect will survive."
Luo Ping had already expected the result. Although he felt a little regretful, he wasn't too sad. After all, the destruction of the sect was inevitable. He had done what he could, so he didn't let the sect down.
"Since you have so much faith in the demonic clouds and are so sure that the Cultivation Domain will not be able to escape this fate, why don't you tell me what kind of magic the demonic clouds are formed by so that I can understand why I died."
Luo Ping only wanted to know why the demonic clouds were formed. Since these demons were so confident, he might as well go along with their thoughts and let them tell him everything.
Sure enough, after hearing Luo Ping's words, the demons sneered. One of them said: "Although I know you're trying to trick us, just like you said, since you're going to die anyway, I'll let you know the reason before you die."
"The demonic clouds above are not some kind of magic. They are formed by the immortal weapons of the three Demon Ancestors. Hehe, I don't need to tell you the power of the immortal weapons. It is simply a pipe dream for you people from the Cultivation Domain to break the defense of the immortal weapons. Therefore, you will not be able to break the demonic clouds no matter what."
