Above and below, immortal cultivators rained down.
Sword light erupted throughout the Joyful Abode as cultivators engaged in fierce combat. Those who could control objects from afar had all entered the Illumination Realm, wielding sharp magical artifacts and possessing profound magical power.
Unlike the Qi Yun Army, these cultivators were individually skilled in combat, possessing iron bones and bronze skin.
In an instant, the previously dominant demons were suppressed. Their massive size offered little advantage.
Protected by magical power, even if the demons possessed the strength of a thousand troops, how could they harm the cultivators?
Inevitably, many demons suffered fatal blows and perished on the spot.
At the heart of this struggle, Chi Yao and her four great demon subordinates were locked in battle with numerous cultivators. The giant, once ten thousand feet tall, reached out and slammed down on the earth, but failed to harm Chi Yao. Instead, Chi Yao shattered its magical form with two beams of black and white light, reverting it to its ordinary appearance.
Jiang Wen looked towards the cultivators, all of whom possessed burning inner strength and imposing auras. He sensed that there were no fewer than ten cultivators in the Destiny Fire Realm, with even stronger individuals having already stepped into the Dao Palace Realm.
The cultivator who had transformed into a ten-thousand-foot giant was clearly also a figure at the peak of the Destiny Fire Realm. Clad in black robes, his eyes blazed like torches. A massive wheel hovered behind him, truly divine and martial.
Beside him stood a figure wielding a long spear, with red hair, green eyes, and magical manifestations swirling around him. He was also a powerful individual at the half-step Dao Palace Realm.
Within that massive passage, eggs the size of ordinary human heads were scattered everywhere. These eggs were covered in blood vessels, like spiderwebs.
Jiang Wen felt that there must be something behind it, so he forcefully pushed open the giant wall. Sure enough, it revealed a new vista.
Jiang Wen silently recorded everything, while also helping exhausted cultivators fend off attacks.
Li Yunshang felt goosebumps rise upon seeing this scene. She touched her shoulders and looked at Jiang Wen in horror, "What are these things?"
"Hehe, such arrogance," Chi Yao raised her head, smiling at the cultivators in the sky, each with their own unique demeanor. "Bullying the few with the many, even if you win, it won't be honorable. Why bother losing face?"
"Monster! How dare you be presumptuous in the sacred land of the Immortal Sect!" The black-robed cultivator rebuked. "You have harmed my comrades and disrupted this Myriad Treasure Assembly. Today, I will surely make you perish and vanish, your soul scattered!"
Looking down at the once bustling marketplace, the tens of miles of streets in the Joyful Abode were torn open by sword energy, leaving massive cracks.
"For you demons who indiscriminately kill the innocent, there is no such thing as honor," the red-haired man sneered, brandishing his long spear. It transformed into a streak of light and shot towards Chi Yao. Subsequently, the surrounding cultivators all mobilized their magical power, wielding their signature techniques.
Reaching the end, a giant wall blocked the way.
The earth shattered and the mountains crumbled, amidst the swirling clouds and mist, various divine powers and secret techniques were unleashed.
"I was a bit too excited fighting just now, almost forgot the main business," Li Yunshang swung her ponytail, one hand holding the sword box, the other gripping her long sword. She wore a brown short robe, her eyes full of fighting spirit.
She chattered incessantly along the way, only stopping a little when they reached the courtyard. When the purple rhyme in the wooden ring alerted him to an abnormality below, Jiang Wen quickly covered Li Yunshang's small mouth.
A sword pierced through the ground, revealing a huge pit. Entering it, they found a passage built of brick and stone, stretching endlessly into the depths.
"Tsk, this thing is really dangerous," Li Yunshang looked at Jiang Wen strangely, glancing at his mouth and asking, "Can you breathe fire?"
The two of them hurried towards the courtyard, Li Yunshang loudly proclaiming how wonderful she would feel once she fully recovered.
Countless flying swords, like missiles, swiftly pierced through the sky, tearing through the air and igniting dazzling light. With just a whoosh, they could shatter buildings and cleave mountains.
Such a scene was truly magnificent. Even Jiang Wen, who had seen the best special effects movies, couldn't compare to even a fraction of the scene before him. Unlike the cultivators in anime who often engaged in close-quarters combat and released spells at short range, the battles before him spanned tens or hundreds of miles. Their speed was extremely fast, tearing through the air with ease.
Jiang Wen didn't need to participate in Chi Yao's battle with the cultivators, as there were too many people on that side and it wouldn't be his turn anyway. What he needed to do now was to look for any clues left behind by Chi Yao, to at least catch a glimpse of the God-Worshipping Society's tail.
In that vast world, clouds churned and roared, and black clouds galloped like ten thousand horses. Scarlet lightning transformed into giant dragons dancing in the sky, countless metals, stones, grasses, and trees rolled across the earth. Everywhere he looked, magical techniques sparkled. As far as the eye could see, mountains collapsed and clouds scattered.
Instantly, thunder and fire intertwined, and the world changed color. He felt the world shaking, and the entire Joyful Abode cracked open.
The infant's eyes were closed, but its nose was still breathing. It seemed to be alive, not completely dead.
"Those century-old great demons were all chopped down like vegetables by this young lady. You didn't see my heroic figure, like a god of war," Li Yunshang babbled on, only talking about how powerful she was.
The corpses of the dead demons lay on the ground, some cut in half but still stubbornly alive. They bared their fangs at Jiang Wen, wanting to use their last strength to kill this man. Unfortunately, before they could act, a flying sword severed their heads.
The two walked down the passage for hundreds of feet, and the tremors in the ground became more intense. It could be seen that the battle was fierce, and Chi Yao would not be captured so easily.
The Qi Yun Army assisted in intercepting, while the cultivators launched attacks from all directions. Flying ships traversed the sky, the ship's daos manifesting, and the formations activated. With this cooperation, although casualties remained, they were already gradually closing in on the demon clan's position.
Flying swords and magical artifacts accompanied them, traveling rapidly through the air. In the blink of an eye, they had already crossed several miles.
But before it could get close, Jiang Wen opened his mouth and unleashed a flame. Samadhi True Fire spewed out, instantly turning the entire small snake into charcoal.
"Don't talk yet, there's movement," Jiang Wen whispered.
Jiang Wen saw the bloodstains on her skirt, knowing that this girl had probably killed many demons. He didn't say anything more, but pointed to the remaining houses in front and said, "Let's go in and take a look, there might be traces of the God-Worshipping Society."
At this moment, the infant on the snake's head suddenly opened its eyes. It screamed and quickly rushed towards Jiang Wen, opening its snake mouth to bite Jiang Wen's neck.
"I'm not too sure either," Jiang Wen shook his head, imitating Li Yunshang and poking a few eggs, seeing the same things. He used his sword to lift a small snake to examine it, only to see that the snake's large head had an infant's face.
Bai Jing had told him that Chi Yao's favorite place to stay was the southeast corner of the Joyful Abode.
"It's just magic, if you want to learn, I can teach you."
"Forget it, forget it. I don't want to breathe fire," Li Yunshang quickly shook her head.
The two of them looked into the cave together, countless giant eggs shimmering with a ghostly blue light were scattered throughout the cave.
