Chapter 741 Attack
On top of the main peak.

Qin Ming held an intelligence jade slip in his hand and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

He was extremely clear about the abilities of the Eclipse Dragon King.

After all, he possessed a spatial treasure that allowed him to travel between different realms—the Realm-Breaking Shuttle.

This treasure can ignore most spatial turbulence and freely travel through the three realms; Qin Ming has personally experienced this.

Furthermore, its most important raw material is made from the teeth of the Erosion Dragon King.

Therefore, he had no doubt about what Zi Chen Shenjun had said that day.

If it were merely cultivators from the demon and monster races at the Void Refinement stage, it would be impossible for them to lead a large force to attack Tianxing City from such a vast distance.

But only this Eclipse Dragon King, born from the Yellow Spring Devouring Abyss, could do it.

This is why Qin Ming is so cautious.

Although Tianxing City was the primary target of the attack, the surrounding spiritual lands would inevitably be affected as well.

Qin Ming has been cultivating in Xiaogui Peak for so many years and has created a sixth-order spiritual vein environment, which is perfect for his cultivation.

He won't run away unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, even after learning about the plans of the demon and monster races, Qin Ming still wanted to protect his own territory.

After all, he has now advanced to the Void Refinement stage and is no longer the small-time rogue cultivator he once was.

At the very least, he's a highly skilled rogue cultivator.
Even in the worst-case scenario, he has the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle, the Blue Ice Fairy, and the True Spirit Kunpeng, so he can cross the Great Realm and escape at any time.

Of course, Qin Ming didn't want to see this happen either.

A few days later.

Two streaks of silver light streaked across the sky and stopped at the outer edge of Little Turtle Peak.

The light dissipated, revealing the figures of Yao Tiannan and Su Yuqing.

The two of them originally planned to warn Qin Ming to be on guard.

However, upon arriving at the location, the two were astonished to find that Little Turtle Peak was fully prepared.
This left the two of them speechless for a moment.

After all, such important and confidential intelligence would be impossible to obtain without being leaked by higher-ups.

However, after Yao Tiannan and Su Yuqing met Qin Ming, they still said:
"Senior Li, my master and Palace Master Qian asked me to come here specifically to tell you that in the next few months, there will likely be demon and monster cultivators attacking Tianxing City."

"However, it seems that Senior Li has already made preparations to be on guard, hehe!"

Qin Ming smiled faintly, opened the formation, and welcomed the two in.

“I went to the Immortal City half a month ago and happened to learn of this news from the Grand Commander.”

"However, what he said at the time was not certain; it was just a guess."

"You two have come here because the attack on Tianxing City by the demon and monster races has been confirmed?"

Upon hearing that Qin Ming had obtained the information directly from the Grand Commander of the Purple Gold Saint Armor, Su Yuqing and Yao Tiannan exchanged a glance, both taken aback.

They never expected that Qin Ming had already begun to cultivate relationships with such powerful figures.

It is said that the Grand Commander of the Purple Gold Holy Armor once publicly killed the Golden Pride God, who was in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm, in the Starshine Temple, and sat on his throne without moving an inch.

What an incredibly powerful and influential person this is.

“That’s right. Although it’s not accurate information yet, it’s pretty close to the truth,” Su Yuqing explained.

Qin Ming nodded, then asked him, "By the way, what about that old fellow, Diaoyunsou?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yuqing sighed, "I don't know if Diaoyun Sou is lucky or unlucky, but he was chosen to join the previous batch of Star Guards to fight in the Yellow Spring Devouring Abyss. He's probably already fighting desperately against the alien races right now."

"Huh? This old guy's luck is really too bad, isn't it?" Even the Devouring Rat couldn't help but sigh.

Qin Ming had no choice but to accept this. In this special period, even if Yao Tiannan were chosen instead, as an elder's disciple, he would have to bite the bullet and go for it.

However, as Silver Armor Star Guards, Yao Tiannan and Su Yuqing will likely not have an easy time either.

If an alien race attacks, we will definitely need to carry out the defense mission of Tianxing City.

"Senior Li's southern wilderness borders the territory of the alien races, so it's possible that they will attack from here, just like last time."

"Therefore, the higher-ups will also send a large Star Guard army to be secretly stationed here to guard against any unforeseen events."

"Oh? That would be perfect," Qin Ming said, somewhat surprised.

After delivering the message, the two of them returned immediately.

……

The Yellow Springs Devouring Abyss is located near the area occupied by the demon race.

Dark clouds rolled in, creating an eerie atmosphere, filled with a thick, black mist that made it impossible to see one's own hand in front of one's face, as if the end of the world had arrived.

And within these dark clouds, countless terrifying figures are lurking.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, whether we can severely damage the fate of the human race depends on this one day. How are your preparations going?"

The demon general Tu Luo, disguised as a strange young man, looked at the middle-aged man opposite him, who was wearing black scale demon armor, with an eerie gaze.

"Don't worry, with Che Laogui's Corpse Sacrifice Spirit Array and my Xuan Yin Demon Pearl, those humans will definitely be in for a rough time."

"If we can eliminate that Purple Star Divine Lord of the human race this time, I can finally get some revenge for the loss of my son," Demon Artifact said coldly.

"Ideally, we could lure it out of Tianxing City."

Not far from the two of them stood the Eclipse Dragon King, disguised as an old man in feathered robes.

And a gaunt middle-aged man in a gray robe.

"I have fought him several times. This man's supernatural powers are extraordinary, and he is indeed not easy to deal with." The gray-robed middle-aged ghost cultivator's hoarse voice rang out.

This middle-aged man, shrouded in shadow and exuding an incredibly dense aura of death, was a ghost general-level figure who had crossed the intersection of the Spirit Realm and the Devouring Abyss and descended to the Spirit Realm.

The terrifying aura emanating from it was many times stronger than that of the Void Refinement level Ghost Rakshasa that Qin Ming had encountered in the Demon Ancient Temple.

The "Old Ghost Che" that Magical Law just mentioned is this person.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, didn't you say that you often clashed with Divine Lord Zichen? You should know his temperament, right?"

"This person is a prodigy from the Star Palace, one of the three holy lands of the human race. He was just a step away from entering the ranks of the Holy Sons. How could he be so easily defeated? Even now, I still cannot fathom his background. If it weren't for the Dragon King's intervention last time, I'm afraid we wouldn't have gained any advantage." Demon Artifact Luo replied calmly.

At this moment, the Dragon King of the Eclipse Realm seemed to be getting impatient and urged in a cold voice:
"Hmph! Let's get started."

"I have other matters to attend to; this is the last time."

Having said that, he didn't waste any more words.

Amidst the churning black clouds, its form shifted dramatically, transforming into a grayish-white bone dragon three thousand feet in size, its massive body exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

The moment he revealed his true form, everything within a radius of dozens of miles withered and decayed.
Zhila! !
The next moment, a gray light appeared around his pair of dragon claws, and then a terrifying spatial power erupted as he slashed down into the void in front of him.

A spatial passage several miles in size was suddenly torn open.
The demons and monsters who were plotting in this place couldn't help but marvel at the unique bloodline power of the Devouring Realm Spirit King when they witnessed this terrifying scene.

"My 'Erosion Passage' can only last for ten days. After that, it will depend on your own fate."

After he finished speaking, the massive gray dragon body disappeared into the rift and vanished instantly.

Mojuro said to the two people beside him, "Brother Turo, you lead the other alien armies and must take down the Yellow Spring Devouring Abyss at all costs. I, Che Laogui, and the Eclipse Dragon King will go to harass their rear."

"I want to see if the human race wants the Devouring Abyss stronghold, or if they'll abandon their own main city altogether."

After saying that, he waved his hand.

Within the dark clouds behind him, tens of thousands of dark demons, each with a different appearance and a powerful aura, entered the Corruption Realm Passage together.

Followed by.

At Che Laogui's command, countless densely packed ghosts emerged from the dark clouds.

Even more so, there were several Ghost Rakshasa who had already reached the Refinement Realm.

The two armies that attacked Tianxing City numbered in the tens of thousands. These demons and ghosts were all directly transported into the human realm through the great supernatural powers of the Devouring Realm Dragon King. Only an existence like the Devouring Realm Dragon King could accomplish such a feat in the spirit realm.

……

the other side.

Inside the Starlight Temple in Tianxing City.

The Grand Commander, Zi Chen, clad in purple-gold holy armor, sat on his golden throne, his aura enigmatic, as he closed his eyes to bide his time.

Suddenly.

His sharp eyes suddenly snapped open!
"Is it finally here?"

In an instant, his entire figure vanished from the hall.

Not long after.

The Star Guard army of Tianxing City also began to assemble on a large scale outside the city.

A vast, misty blue array of light enveloped the outer perimeter of the immortal city.

At this very moment, the seventh-tier super protective array of this human city is also fully activated, preparing to meet the invasion of the alien race.

Even Elder Lin, Yu Hanzi, and Jiang Wuji of the Zhitian Hall, as well as Xuan Guan Dao Ren and Master Kongzhi of the Dan Pavilion, all the golden-armored star guards, received orders to come outside, looking ready for battle.

In a moment.

Outside Tianxing City, a violent tremor suddenly emanated from the once azure void, followed by the utter astonishment of everyone present.

The once azure sky was suddenly punctuated by a thin black line that stretched for miles.

Immediately afterwards, terrifying spatial turbulence began to spill out from within.

As an even more powerful aura descended, the thin line seemed to be torn in half, instantly creating a large gash.

In an instant, a vast expanse of black demonic energy, mixed with the ghostly energy of the underworld, surged out from the crack.

A chilling wind howled, demonic energy surged, and ghosts wailed and gods howled.

Countless demons and underworld ghosts emerged from the passage, unleashing deafening battle cries as they charged recklessly towards the immortal city.

Among them, the seven demonic Rakshasa leaders, each a thousand feet tall, all possessed the cultivation level of the early stage of the Void Refinement realm, and exuded an aura of destruction with every move they made.

More importantly, the skeletal surface of these seven-headed demon Rakshasa is covered with densely packed runes.

"Hmm? It seems the humans actually knew about our plans in advance."

"It doesn't matter anymore."

The terrifying body of the Eclipse Dragon King also flew out from it, transforming back into the old man in feathered robes.

The figures of Maguro and Cha Laogui behind him also appeared.

"We meet again, Divine Lord Zichen."

"This time I'll see if you've improved at all over the years!"

Magical Luo stood in mid-air, his sharp gaze fixed on the purple-gold armored commander of the human Star Guard Army opposite him.

"The intelligence was wrong. It wasn't demons coming; it was ghosts from the underworld. And in such large numbers."

Elder Lin and the others looked up at the sky, their expressions extremely solemn.

At this moment, saying anything more will be of no use.

In an instant, the sky was filled with deafening battle cries, and an unprecedented large-scale battle broke out.

Various terrifying magical spells and supernatural powers transformed into dazzling colors, destroying the heavens and the earth, and exploded outside Tianxing City.

……

Meanwhile, on Little Turtle Peak.

After receiving the information from Baili Hui and Mo Lingwei, Qin Ming frowned deeply.

"A demon general from the demon race personally led tens of thousands of demon troops to break through the boundary and attack. It really was that World-Eroding Dragon King who was behind this."

"I never expected that ghosts from the underworld could also pass through the interface channel."

Fortunately, it's a spiritual land of Little Turtle Peak, quite far from Tianxing City, so they can't reach him for the time being.

As the main city of the human race, Tianxing City would naturally not fall in a surprise attack of this magnitude, but there would certainly be casualties.

The only thing that can truly threaten Tianxing City is the great calamity of alien races that occurs every tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years.

At that time, even powerful beings of the human race who have achieved the Fusion Realm will have to personally participate.

After reading it, Qin Ming put away the jade slip in his hand and instructed the two of them: "Tianxing City is the main direction of attack, but we don't know if any remnants of the demon race will sneak into our area."

"Have those people below prepare to gather towards the main peak. With a sixth-order grand formation in place, their safety is guaranteed."

Baili Hui hurriedly agreed and went to carry out the task.

Meanwhile, the patriarchs of several other spiritual plant sects in the Donghuang Mountains, as well as Li Changqing from Wutong Mountain, all approached Qin Ming.

Now, as the Refining Void Divine Lord, he is seen as the pillar of stability in this place.

"Senior Li! We must help each other out!"

"We hope you will offer us some protection; we are willing to stand with Little Turtle Peak through thick and thin!!"

Li Changqing was also quite frightened by this sudden war, after all, even a behemoth like Tianxing City was involved.

These Nascent Soul level sects and families might be wiped out.

"Well, Fellow Daoist Li, there's no need to panic too much. You should believe that Tianxing City can withstand this calamity, after all, it is one of the main cities of the human race."

"In my estimation, this attack should only be temporary and will soon pass. The armies of the Underworld and the Demon Clan simply cannot fight deep into the heart of the territory for long."

"The most crucial battleground is still the front line of the Yellow Springs Devouring Abyss."

"Therefore, the Grand Commander and his men should be able to hold out; there shouldn't be any major problems."

Upon hearing Qin Ming's words, Li Changqing, Green Calyx Ancestor of Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, and Ancestor Min of Divine Wood Sect all breathed a sigh of relief.

"I hope so."

After all, they had heard that the demon army was even more terrifying than the wild beasts, and that it almost sacrificed the lives of the local people.

If a demon were to suddenly appear, it would be enough to give them a hard time, let alone the ability to withstand the risks.

Only places like Little Turtle Peak, with a Refining Void God Lord in charge and a sixth-order grand formation protecting them, can provide a sense of security.

For a time, these Nascent Soul cultivators began to envy the Xu family, who were a Nascent Soul family.

gradually.

The fierce battle in Tianxing City caused violent fluctuations in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which even began to reach Xiaogui Peak.

Even from a great distance, Qin Ming could sense the intensity of the battle with his powerful divine sense.

He also put his spirit pets into a state of readiness for battle, except for Little Silver Fox and Tian Ling'er, whose combat power was not strong, so he let them stay in Little Spirit Realm.

The top shaker general, led by the Sky-Eating Rat, along with the Mystic Water Crocodile and the Silver Wing Frost Bee, went out to patrol around the main peak.

Two more days passed.

A small number of ghosts from the underworld, as well as demon cultivators, actually roamed into the surrounding areas.

They even marched towards the Donghuang Mountains.

However, under Qin Ming's command, and in conjunction with several other forces, they easily wiped out these ghosts and demons.

Li Changqing and the others immediately calmed down and stabilized the situation in their respective spiritual lands.

The gratitude towards 'Senior Li' was simply beyond words.
