Longzang

Chapter 935 Tianqing

"So, I shouldn't go?"

"We should go, but we can go slowly."

Youfeng pondered for a moment and said, "My physical body needs time to awaken. You two will come with me then."

Ryūzhe and Kaguya bowed together, then disappeared from this space.

At the fortress of Sharp Edge, Wei Yuan looked up at the sky and felt that the surging red had an indescribable feeling, as if a pool of living flesh was crawling and writhing in the sky, covering an area that was getting bigger and bigger.

Suddenly, the entire desolate realm trembled violently, as if another world had crashed into it! Most of the sky was covered in a dark red glow, and all three suns were obscured. The temperature began to drop rapidly, and the earth began to release heat to resist the increasingly intense cold.

A dim light shone into the fortress. Wei Yuan and the many power-wielding sorcerers around him turned to look and saw two enormous bodies appear in the air. One was shaped like an octopus, with an eye on each of its eight tentacles. The other had the lower body of an earth dragon, with four legs in the air, and six arms rising from its upper body, each wielding a different weapon.

The six-armed celestial shaman was engulfed in flames, and it was his radiance that illuminated the dark fortress.

"Lord Flame Demon has arrived!" The power shamans in the Edge Fortress cheered with joy, believing that victory was assured.

However, in the sky, both Nine Eyes and Flame Demon had rather grim expressions. Looking around, they saw no sign of any other Heavenly Witches arriving.

"These bastards, they really wouldn't help someone in distress!" Nine Eyes cursed loudly, spewing out swear words.

The Flame Demon's expression was cold and stern. He said, "It seems that only a few of us are left. They want to force the Ancestor of Steel to awaken, but even if we give up the Desolate Realm, we cannot let them have their way! Let the little ones below leave; I'm afraid this place cannot be saved."

Nine Eyes sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's too late."

Nine Eyes and the Flame Demon unfurled their massive bodies, accompanied by vast phantom worlds, and charged towards different celestial pillars. Their arrival was like stirring up a hornet's nest; instantly, three hundred-foot-tall Flame Demons flew out from each pillar, blocking Nine Eyes and the Molten Dragon, and began to fight.

The Molten Dragon glanced down at the Edge Fortress, then flew toward the Heavenly Pillar. In mid-air, it revealed its true form: a terrifying dragon a hundred miles long, leaving trails of flames in its wake.

However, the outer shell of the seemingly motionless pillar suddenly peeled off, and three Heavenly Witch-level Flame Demons flew out from it!

In an instant, worlds rose and fell, constantly attacking each other. The sky was filled with all sorts of bizarre and fantastical scenes, making it impossible to see the Heavenly Witch and the Flame Demon battling at the center.

On the land, countless fire demons swept in like a tidal wave, their numbers impossible to count. Judging from their speed, Wei Yuan knew that the power sorcerers in the fortress would definitely not escape.

The Flame Demons split into several groups, each heading towards a different fortress, with one group heading straight for the vanguard.

"There's no escape! Prepare for battle!" Wei Yuan shouted, and the surrounding warriors responded, rushing to their battle positions and standing ready for battle.

On the main city tower, a heavy crossbow was gradually drawn to its full draw. Then, with a flash of light, a sharp arrow flew thousands of feet away like lightning, blasting a Royal-level Flame Demon to pieces in one strike!

This was the giant crossbow that Wei Yuan had forged using a great deal of his fortune; its power was so great that a single strike could annihilate a Yujing Flame Demon. However, the Desolate Witch wielding the crossbow was far from happy. Killing more ordinary Flame Demons now was useless; if the Heavenly Witch Battlefield was lost, all the Power Witches here, except for a few Desolate Witches, would die in the Flame Demon tide.

While defending against the Flame Demons, Wei Yuan observed the battle situation at the Heavenly Pillar. The battlefield at the Heavenly Witch level had spread for thousands of miles, even obscuring the Heavenly Pillar itself.

The inner world of the Flame Demon is quite distinct, consisting entirely of eerie, pitch-black, deathly still worlds filled with intense heat—almost identical to each other. The Flame Demon's world is a lava volcano, while the Nine-Eyed Demon's is a volcanic hot spring world. However, judging from the creation and destruction of these worlds, the Nine-Eyed Demon is completely at a disadvantage, its inner world constantly being eroded by darkness and intense heat.

The Balrog was only slightly at a disadvantage; the volcanoes continued to erupt, quickly filling in a dark, scorching world. The Lava Dragon's world, however, was much larger, with volcanoes, lava fields, lakes, and heat-resistant forests and creatures. His mental world was struggling to resist, while the enormous lava dragon relentlessly tore at the dark world, snapping off pieces of that bizarre world like straw and tossing them aside.

The magma dragon was terrifyingly powerful, but the molten dragon was not a Celestial Witch after all; it lacked the empowerment of heaven and earth, and its inner world was far more vulnerable compared to the other two Celestial Witches. Vast swathes of darkness spread like ink into water, continuously staining the molten dragon's inner world black.

At this moment, the sky quietly changed, and a large patch of deep flames appeared, refining the dark red. Then, a giant bird with black wings flew out from the flames, its wingspan reaching hundreds of miles. Each flap of its wings stirred up a gust of wind on the ground.

Wei Yuan felt a chill run down his spine and immediately concealed his aura.

At this moment, a terrifying divine thought swept across the entire area. This divine thought was sometimes icy cold and sometimes scorching hot, constantly jumping between extreme cold and extreme heat.

Beneath the wings of the black-winged giant bird were two figures, but their mere hundred-foot-tall magical bodies were like two tiny insects compared to the giant bird.

The Flame Demon shouted, "You Phoenix, you've finally arrived! Hurry up and take over, Nine Eyes and Molten Dragon can't hold on any longer."

He called out several times, but the giant black bird remained suspended in the air, coldly watching the battle.

The Flame Demon's voice changed, and he said, "You Feng, are you going to stand by and watch me die?"

Youfeng still did not respond.

Nine Eyes laughed angrily and said, "They want to wait until we damage our foundations or even drop in cultivation level, so that they can make room for us!"

The Flame Demon roared, "You Phoenix, how dare you?"

Youfeng finally spoke, coldly saying, "Flame Demon, what are you? How dare you yell at me? I don't need you to tell me what to do."

"If we can survive this calamity, I will not rest in peace with you..." Nine Eyes had only uttered half of his angry rebuke when a large mass of darkness suddenly exploded in the world of his mind, and his voice immediately went silent.

Just then, a series of deep, resonant sounds suddenly echoed throughout the world, like the heartbeat of a colossal creature, or as if a giant was knocking on the gates of the desolate realm.

Wei Yuan's blood surged with each thud, like the tides. His body would swell as if about to explode one moment, and then feel so empty that he wanted to devour everything in front of him the next.

Suddenly, a powerful sorcerer next to him let out a scream and his body exploded, splattering blood all over Wei Yuan's body and face!
Wei Yuan was horrified. He looked towards the direction of the Heavenly Pillar and saw that the sky was bulging downwards. With a series of loud thumping sounds, the bulge became more and more obvious, and the entire sky was being pulled over.

Then a point of light appeared, instantly illuminating the entire desolate realm in a ghastly white light! Even Wei Yuan was blinded, unable to see anything.

After a while, the white light gradually turned into flames, which slowly wriggled and surged, like a growing mushroom, gradually covering half of the desolate world.

The desolate realm has been set ablaze?!
Wei Yuan stared in disbelief at the scene before him. The flames had spread for tens of thousands of miles, far exceeding the limits of his divine sense. The entire world over there had begun to burn.

At the core of the flames in the sky, obvious damage appeared, and a huge black and red cone-shaped object pierced into the desolate realm from beyond the heavens, extending segment by segment towards the earth.

The Flame Demon was both shocked and furious, shouting, "The fourth pillar of heaven?! You Feng, are you still going to watch the show? Aren't you afraid of the Heavenly Witch's wrath and the Ancestral Witch's reprimand?!"
