Chapter 2390 - 2389: Empress’s Bearing
Below the Celestial Realms City, the movements of the mighty army were quickly relayed to the Nine Demon Lords.
One of the Demon Sovereigns, with flames steaming from his body, scoffed disdainfully, "Ordinary mortals dare to challenge us? Just watch as I go up and kill them all clean."
Among the Nine Demons, only one was female.
By the Human Race’s standards, the other males appeared extremely fierce, ugly, brutal, resembling machines born for battle.
Protruding bones, explosive muscles.
Bent legs, spring-like gait, ready at any moment to enter combat mode.
However, the female cultivator was very seductive, dressed in a flowing Shuixiu gown, standing two meters tall, appearing quite balanced and harmonious among the Human Race.
In contrast to the other Demon Sovereigns, she could be considered of Heavenly Immortal beauty.
The aquatic formation behind her flashed brightly, and she laughed coquettishly, "Big Brother Crimson Flame, no need to rush. We must plan long-term, avoid unnecessary slaughter. Otherwise, should the Heavenly Dao sense us, we Demons might endure another era in the frozen wastes."
Crimson Flame Demon Sovereign glared and said, "Sister Shuiyue, then what would you suggest?"
Shuiyue Demon Lord watched the million Imperial Guards in front with a gleam in her eyes, and said coldly, "We should only kill the experts, thus not defying the will of the Heavenly Dao. As for these ants, let those below handle it!"
A Demon Lord behind had a black void halo.
He held considerable authority here, everyone looked to him, seeking his opinion.
He showed no sorrow or joy, like a wooden man, emitting a dull thud, "What the seventh sister says is right. We are not fighting for a momentary victory; to win the ages, we must change our previous slaughtering ways to gain the Heavenly Dao’s recognition. The colossal karma of senseless slaughter— let those below handle it!"
The group of Demon Lords nodded and immediately issued orders to their subordinate Demon Kings.
In an instant, over a million Demon Army let out roars and dispersed in all directions, leaving a circular space in the center.
These Demon Soldiers were not second-generation but the elites of Demon Sovereigns, freshly revived first-generation warriors.
They were tall, each one wielding a ghostly blue Divine Blood saber, towering over three meters.
Standing before the Human Race, they seemed like enormous black giants.
At the forefront of the combat lineup were over a hundred thousand recently demonized fierce beasts of the Demon Clan, each equally colossal.
There were black magic bears, tusked giant elephants, striped big tigers, golden raging lions.
These demonic beasts already boasted large sizes, but after demonization, their flesh and bones erupted to over ten meters.
They stood there like small mountains.
Savage spirits soared skyward, whipping a bloodthirsty gale across the battlefield.
In front of the battle formation atop Celestial Realms City, soldiers and cultivators gazed at the monstrosities with hearts filled with horror.
Even before the battle commenced, many couldn’t help but tremble all over.
The drumbeats rang with a sonorous rhythm; Li Daoxun looked at Zhang Ziling.
Zhang Ziling’s expression remained unchanged; she had prepared herself for death in today’s battle.
She looked at the sunrise on the horizon, thinking this might be the Human Race resistors’ last battle in this era.
If she dies, who knows how many years the Human Race would sleep before awakening.
A wave of solitude and oppression struck, causing her to unsheathe her longsword, shouting, "Soldiers, follow me as your Empress to kill the enemy!"
The Dragon-Horse beneath her neighed and leapt out of Celestial Realms City across the void.
Li Daoxun followed behind, shouting, "Kill!"
In an instant, sword lights flickered, battle flags fluttered, war horses neighed.
A million troops from Celestial Realms City descended, voluntarily leaping into the Demon Race’s encirclement.
The hundred thousand Demonic Beasts launched their attack, roaring ferociously as they struck, taking advantage of the Human soldiers’ unstable footing.
They formed a black tide at the battlefront.
Like a tsunami, they surged forward fiercely.
Zhang Ziling charged at the forefront, her longsword flew out, from one to nine, Sword Qi spanning a thousand miles, forming a fierce Sword Qi curtain, sweeping towards the Demon Beast army charging ahead.
With a burst of cracking sounds, explosions erupted on the field, blood mist shrouded, flesh flew.
Within a radius of tens of miles, the invading Demon Beasts were all swept into a bloody carpet by the raging Sword Qi.
Nine swords reverberated across the skies, striking in nine directions.
A formation map spread out in the center, quickly transforming into nine Mystical Lights, interconnecting with the nine swords.
The Ninth Heaven Exterminating Immortal Great Formation continued, its power capable of spanning a range of over a hundred miles.
An ascending sword light formation soon enclosed various soldiers for defense.
Groups of Demonic Beasts maniacally slammed into the sword formation, like moths to a flame, soon burst into blood flowers on the forefront’s barrier.
Soldiers descending from Celestial Realms City rapidly utilized the time to array their formations.
Castle cultivators and Demon Race below dropped their jaws in shock.
For over a thousand years, Zhang Ziling hadn’t acted.
Everyone had forgotten she was also a cultivator, and a remarkably powerful one.
Heavenly Dao Spiritual Body, born under the Heavenly Dao’s protection.
Not as extensive or transparent as Wang Xiaoya’s Dao Spiritual Body, but fine and singular.
The Heavenly Dao dictates and within it lies Zhang Ziling’s world.
Her cultivation level had long surpassed Mahayana Realm, one of the few experts in the city.
But nobody knew, assuming she was merely a fragile woman.
The Demon Sovereign seeing the situation, was pleased rather than angry and said, "So this is the Emperor of the Human Race?"
"She appears to be quite young, and is also charming."
Shuiyue Demon Lord narrowed her eyes, glancing specifically at an immensely wide and fat figure among the Demon Sovereigns.
He chuckled foolishly, his gaze stuck on Zhang Ziling.
The Demon Sovereigns laughed heartily, knowing the brother’s nature well.
He was the Fatty Demon Lord, descendant of the Hou Tu Bloodline.
Earth births all things, in the essence of life.
Amongst the Demon Race, the Earth Demons had the largest population.
The Demon Sovereign laughed towards Shuiyue Demon Lord, "Sister Shuiyue understands me, this Empress is mine. None of you better fight me; after I tame her, we’ll birth a litter of cubs together!"
He moved forward, wrapped in an earth-colored halo.
The Demon Sovereigns watched with amusement, enjoying the spectacle from behind.
The Ninth Heaven Execution Immortal Sword Formation’s power was extraordinary.
With the strength of second-generation Demonic Beasts, it couldn’t be breached.
The war drums thundered amidst the Demon Soldiers.
Originally ready to implement the second plan, the Demon flock surged, opening a path.
A Demon Lord emerged from within, his aura towering; every step caused the ground to tremble thrice.
He stood three zhang tall, haloed with divine light, surveying the ant-like foes ahead like a towering deity.
With pure bloodline and cultivation reaching such a state, his appearance greatly differed from smaller Demonic clans.
His incarnation appeared closer to Divine Beings, nearer to the Heavenly Dao, echoing Pangu’s primordial body.
The Earth’s veins connected to his feet, every step stirred the Earth’s pulse.
The Ninth Heaven Execution Immortal Sword Formation’s map trembled at each step, cracking with web-like fissures.
