Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 746 Desperate situation?

On the bridge of the Zhenhai ship.

Zhang Yuan stood like a pillar of strength, his eyes deep and unfathomable, gazing silently at the apocalyptic scene in the direction of Penglai in the distance.

The demonic energy surged like a tsunami, the immortal light shattered like broken stars, and the deafening explosions and desperate cries seemed to travel through space.

The immense sense of crisis was like a tangible hammer blow, enough to crush the souls of ordinary cultivators.

But Zhang Yuan's expression remained calm and composed, as if he were watching a fire from afar, with only his deep, unfathomable pupils reflecting the collapse and the raging flames.

Even the fierce pillar of light that erupted when Granny Yuji merged with the array, the resolute sacrifice of her life to destroy the eternal sea-suppressing pillar and protect the last backbone of the immortal island, only stirred a very faint ripple in his eyes before returning to a deep, icy coldness.

The tears and lamentations of the inheritor of the Immortal Island could not shake his heart of stone, forged through countless battles and bloodshed.

Separation from loved ones and facing death have long been the defining characteristics of his military career. As the head of the Qin Martial Guard, only an iron will can bear this immense burden.

He placed his left hand lightly on the "Demon Suppression Tower" beside him, which was buzzing and trembling.

The tower's exterior is cold and hard, but its interior is like a boiling hell of blood.

The tower's body shimmered with a deep, eerie light, and from within, the Lava Saint's soul seemed to roar in despair as it was torn apart and crushed.

The roar quickly transformed into a chaotic and disorderly shriek, eventually fading into silence, leaving only fragments of pure information to be ruthlessly extracted.

Zhang Yuan's unparalleled divine soul power transformed into an invisible sword, carrying the heavy characteristic of the newly refined "Chaotic True Essence" that unifies all laws, and fiercely pierced into the core memory imprint of the Lava Great Sage's remnant soul!
Scenes flashed and froze rapidly under his profound "gaze," like shattered fragments of glass.

Amidst the surging chaos, a vortex coordinate, radiating a chilling aura of the return of all things to nothingness and exhibiting an extremely unstable spatial structure, was suddenly illuminated!
That is the eye of the Guixu Sea—

In the memories of the Lava Sage, there was a crucial moment when he was preparing to detonate the treasures with a million living souls and the Three Evil Treasures!

Every twist and turn of the spatial coordinates was branded into Zhang Yuan's consciousness.

The scene suddenly changes!

The indifferent will of the Lava Saint overlooked an island completely shrouded by a massive, twisted, and ominously dark purple demonic tree—

Fuso!

At its core, a massive crimson teleportation array, built with the white demonic bones as its foundation and the struggling, wailing souls as its energy source, is frantically drawing in demonic energy.

As the array patterns flowed, Zhang Yuan instantly locked onto and analyzed the spatial coordinates leading to the endless abyss of demons.

Its concentration of pure demonic energy far exceeds that of any demonic lair encountered before!

What's even more chilling are some fleeting, indistinct faces—

There are elders in the Penglai Immortal Island camp who appear to be loyal and honest, but in fact, they pass on intelligence at crucial moments;
There is a steward on the outer perimeter island who has always kept a low profile, but left a fatal flaw at the core of the formation;
even……

In the depths of a certain merchant guild stronghold, at the distant border between Yongtian Continent and the Boundless Sea, several blurry but uniquely distinctive marks flashed through my memory!

An invisible, cross-regional list of "demon slayers" is rapidly taking shape in Zhang Yuan's mind, accompanied by chilling killing intent.

"My lord! Penglai is in dire need!" Yu Wanjun's powerful voice boomed from the side, filled with barely suppressed urgency.

Within the shadows, the shadow beneath Yin Jiuyou's feet writhed slightly, extending several dark and icy shadow chains, like venomous snakes poised to strike, silently probing the void, ready to tear apart the demonic tide with a single command.

Below the bridge and on the deck, the eyes of hundreds of thousands of black-armored soldiers were focused on this place.

Chu Zhaonan's natal Dragon Bone Sword hummed incessantly in its sheath, its sword energy almost piercing through his armor.

Yuchi Changshan's thick knuckles clenched so tightly they cracked, and his whole body was filled with a powerful, thirsty aura of blood.

Every face was filled with anxiety and fighting spirit, their burning gazes fixed on their leader, Zhang Yuan, awaiting the command to tear through the darkness.

Generals Wang Hu, Zhu Cheng, and others had lightning patterns and a fierce aura flickering around their bodies, their eyes burning like volcanoes!
In the shadows, Cai Xu's breathing, covered in scales, suddenly became heavy, while Ke Yicheng's throat emitted a deep, beast-like resonance!
The army's united will to kill was enough to tear apart this oppressive sky!
The arrow is on the string, the bow is at its fullest!
At this critical juncture, with war clouds looming and everything hanging by a thread, Zhang Yuan slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers spread wide, making a simple yet weighty gesture—"Calm down."

There was no further explanation, but this gesture acted like an invisible dam, instantly stabilizing the raging torrent that was about to burst forth.

His deep, unfathomable gaze calmly swept over the chaotic battlefield.

In the core area of ​​Penglai, which is on the verge of complete collapse, Master Xuanming is desperately trying to survive by squeezing out every last drop of his essence.

Far away, on the horizon, Fangzhang Island's Liuguang, fighting desperately towards the eye of the storm to try and rescue her, was blocked by layers of obstacles...

Beneath all this outward madness and despair lies, deep within the demonic tide, those strategically vulnerable points marked by traitors—

In Zhang Yuan's eyes, they were like pinholes deliberately marked on a star map.

At a deeper level lie those two strategic targets, which must be hit precisely and contain immense killing intent.

The core teleportation array of the Fusang Demon Nest, which expands like a malignant tumor by constantly drawing power from the abyss, and the Guixu Sea Eye, which is powerful enough to shake the foundation of a world and lead to eternal damnation!
A powerful, courageous spirit, forged in the crucible of countless battles, throbbed quietly within Zhang Yuan's chest.

That wasn't a blind charge, but the absolute calm of a cheetah before locking onto its prey's throat, the ultimate restraint before accumulating power for a thunderous strike.

The primordial chaos energy surged through his meridians, and the state of unity of all laws granted him a comprehensive perspective.

Desperate situation?

In his view, this chaotic battlefield was nothing more than a game of chess that needed to be patiently dismantled, and beneath the surface of despair, he had already discerned the path to survival amidst death.

The ferocious roars of the demons and the mournful cries of the immortal's mangled body became the background music in his mind's deductions, every detail pointing to the same ending—

The key to breaking the deadlock has been clearly outlined in his mind!

With a raised hand, a surge of spiritual energy appeared before Zhang Yuan.

Spring Mountain Cave.

……

Within the grotto, clouds and mist swirled, and rows of seats floated in the void, displaying only code names but not their true forms.

"Black Tiger", "Chalcedony", "Hibernating Dragon", "Skylark", "Broken Spear", "White Stone", "Blue Crane", "White Paper"...

Nowadays, there are more and more seats available at gatherings.

Li Cheng, codenamed Bamboo Raft, now sat in his seat, no longer feeling restrained.

Black Tiger's voice rang out steadily, carrying an unprecedented solemnity: "Everyone, the immortal island of Penglai is under siege, and the barrier of the Boundless Sea has been breached."

"The traitors of Fusang have colluded with extraterrestrial demons, and a million demonic troops have besieged the main island of Penglai. Their core is drawing the true form of the demonic army to descend... The situation is extremely critical!"

Zhang Yuan succinctly presented the predicament of Wuyanhai Fairy Island to everyone.

At the center of the cave, clouds and mist surged, vaguely revealing the Penglai Islands shrouded in demonic clouds, with raging demonic flames and the isolated islands swaying in the wind.

Its crisis level far exceeds that of the original Qingtianzhou War.

“This…” Li Cheng looked up and exclaimed softly.

His eyes were filled with bewilderment and horror.

This cross-domain war between demons was so large that he was speechless for a moment and did not know how to deal with it.
