I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 607 The Puppet's Divine Might (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The demonic tide struck suddenly, and the Ziyang Sect's headquarters was plunged into eternal night.

"Why...why is it dark?!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivators patrolling the seaside looked up in horror, only to be terrified by the viscous demonic energy surging rapidly from the sea.

"It's a demonic tide! The demonic tide is coming—"

A piercing scream shattered the deathly silence.

The demonic mist surged from the seabed, and countless twisted and hideous demonic shadows shrieked and coalesced within it.

Giant pythons oozing pus and blood, grotesque birds with bony spurs, mountains of flesh pieced together from countless tormented human faces... They came in all shapes and sizes, exuding a suffocating and despairing stench, crashing down on Ziyang Island from all directions like a black torrent bursting its banks.

"Get into formation!"

Although Shen Xingxian reacted quickly, his voice was slightly distorted due to nervousness.

This was also the first time he had ever seen a monster in the demonic tide, and he was so shocked by its terrifying form that his mind was shaken.

A light curtain flashing with crimson runes rose up just as the demonic tide was about to hit the island's shore, barely managing to keep the surging torrent of demons outside the island.

The light screen trembled violently, bursting into flames that burned the monster with a hissing sound, turning it into plumes of black smoke that howled in the wind.

If Jiang Yi hadn't lent him the mining puppet, the Ziyang Sect wouldn't have been able to complete the island-protecting formation in time, and Shen Xingxian didn't even dare to think about the consequences.

However, the fortified formation could only hold out for a short time.

The overwhelming hordes of monsters, with their grotesque forms, foul aura, and overwhelming force, far exceeded everyone's imagination.

The Golden Core cultivators guarding the array's core faced the twisted, writhing demonic shadows through the light barrier, listening to the piercing screams that seemed to pierce their very souls. Their minds were instantly consumed by boundless fear.

Their faces were deathly pale, their pupils dilated, their bodies stiff as wooden sculptures, and even the magic power that maintained the formation became sluggish and chaotic.

The Foundation Establishment disciples on the outskirts of the island had far less mental cultivation than the Golden Core cultivators. Just the moment the demonic tide appeared, seeing that indescribable and terrifying scene, extreme fear burrowed into their sea of ​​consciousness like a poisonous vine and took root in their hearts.

"Ugh!! Ahhh—"

A piercing scream rang out, accompanied by the sound of flesh being torn apart.

Several Foundation Establishment cultivators near the coast suddenly convulsed and swelled violently, demonic patterns spread under their skin like living things, their eyes were instantly consumed by scarlet, and their sanity completely collapsed.

They let out inhuman roars, their fingernails turned black and sharp, and they swung their magical weapons at their still-dazed companions!

"They've been corrupted and demonized by demonic energy!!" someone shouted in terror.

Fear spread like a plague among the crowd, a cacophony of screams and desperate curses.

The crowd, who had just felt somewhat relieved by the rising of the great formation, instantly descended into even greater chaos.

The monsters roared and charged outside, while the demonized beings attacked wildly from within. The light of the protective array dimmed at a visible speed, and the demonic energy was frantically eroding the array barrier!

"quiet!!"

The clear, melodious chimes suddenly resounded throughout the island.

Shen Xingxian summoned an ancient bronze bell, which resounded continuously, its sound waves having a calming and mind-clearing effect, sweeping across the entire island in waves.

Shen Xingxian flashed forward and rushed into the chaotic crowd, personally killing the demonized cultivators and burning them to ashes with his own pill fire.

His face was pale, but his eyes were firm and resolute. His moves were swift, accurate, and ruthless, without the slightest hesitation.

"Take the Heart-Clearing Pill. All Foundation Establishment disciples, retreat to the island. Golden Core cultivators, hold the line for me. Anyone who disobeys will be killed!"

Shen Xingxian's voice pierced through the bell's toll, carrying an undeniable authority. He forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart, demonstrating the responsibility befitting a true lord of a sect.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators also seemed to awaken from a dream. While swallowing the Heart-Cleansing Pill to resist the erosion of demonic thoughts, they tearfully swung their swords to slash at their former fellow disciples who had become demons, supporting each other as they retreated to the island.

Only now did these Eastern Continent cultivators realize the terror of the demonic tide and understand that the Northern Profound cultivators were not exaggerating.

It was only at this moment that Shen Xingxian realized why the Mountain and Sea Alliance had to build the Demon-Suppressing Pass here using manpower.

The array on the island was the most powerful array that their Ziyang Sect could muster. Although it was hastily set up, it shouldn't have shown signs of decay so quickly in the face of the demonic tide.

The great formation is ultimately an inanimate object, a collection of spiritual energy, which is easily corroded by demonic energy. Only by relying on humans to kill it can there be a possibility of repelling the demonic tide.

Humans are so vulnerable in the face of monsters!
Outside the array, the demons, fearless of death, relentlessly rammed into the light barrier. Each impact caused the light barrier to fluctuate violently, and the runes on the array were being corroded at a visible rate.

Shen Xingxian could clearly feel that the magic power maintaining the great formation was being rapidly drained away, and it probably wouldn't last even for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!

Inside the array, although the cultivators of the Ziyang Sect mustered their courage to rush to the front line and fight against the demons that were trying to break through their weak points, they were severely lacking in experience in fighting demons.

"Watch out! Don't let the demonic energy touch you!" "Ah—my hand!!"

A Golden Core cultivator severed the body of a demonic wolf, but was accidentally splashed with black liquid on his arm. The demonic energy instantly penetrated his skin as if it were alive, and he felt a chilling, bone-piercing power filled with destructive desire frantically eroding his meridians and sea of ​​consciousness.

He desperately tried to resist by consuming pills, but the speed at which the demonic energy spread far exceeded his expectations. In just a few breaths, his eyes became bloodshot, his movements became frantic, and he began to attack indiscriminately, regardless of friend or foe.

"Senior brother, wake up!"

"Form ranks! Stop him quickly!"

Similar scenes were playing out throughout the defensive line.

The monsters' attacks are unpredictable and bizarre. Their blood, limb fragments, and even their roars contain demonic energy, and one can be corrupted if one is not careful.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the light of the protective array was already shattering, and many of the array bases emitted cracking sounds as they could not bear the weight.

Shen Xingxian's forehead veins bulged. Although his Pure Yang Flame had a restraining effect on demons, the demon tide was vast and boundless, and he alone could not possibly defeat it.

Just then, reinforcements arrived from the sky!
boom! ! !
A deafening roar erupted from behind the demonic tide, and a figure engulfed in raging flames crashed down like a meteorite into the densest area of ​​the demonic tide.

"You'll all die for me!"

A roar like thunder, it was the very force that brought down the mountain!
He clenched his fists, and the earthen-yellow gravity field around him suddenly erupted. Centered on his landing point, the demons within a hundred feet radius were crushed by an invisible giant mountain and instantly crushed into mist.

At the center of the demonic tide, a vacuum area appeared directly.

At the same time, the sea surged and the more than 500 puppets that were mining on the seabed broke out of the water!

"Formation!"

Duan Jin stood suspended in mid-air, holding a chessboard in his hands, arranging his pieces.

Amidst the sounds of gears opening and closing, numerous puppet soldiers engaged gears, causing metal components to collide!

Some puppets quickly assembled and transformed into several giant war puppets several meters tall in an instant. With heavy steps, they ignored the erosion of demonic energy and charged directly into the demonic tide, wielding heavy hammers or giant axes, causing all the demons in their path to explode.

Some of the puppets were combined into several complex heavy crossbows. The runes on the muzzles lit up, and giant crossbow bolts with anti-magic talismans roared out, accurately killing the special monsters that tried to attack the array's core on the island.

Many crow-shaped and spider-shaped puppets rapidly converged from underwater and high in the sky towards the island's frontal battlefield, forming a massive tower-shield-like fortress. They lined up in front of all the cultivators on the shore, providing them with solid physical support and blocking the fierce onslaught of the subsequent demonic tide.

The mountain was surrounded by a huge phantom of a Suanni, like a maddened divine beast, rampaging through the demonic tide.

The demonic energy crumbled upon contact, unable to penetrate his body in the slightest.

With each punch and kick, the power of mountains erupted, each strike accompanied by the trembling of the sea and the explosion of monsters.

Duan Jin hovered in mid-air, his face solemn, his red lips pressed tightly together, constantly adjusting the formation and attack targets of the puppet army.

Hundreds of puppets were at her command, forming a steel torrent that was fearless of demonic energy, ruthless, and highly efficient in killing.

This sudden and powerful reinforcement was like a wildfire ignited in the darkness of despair!
All the cultivators of the Ziyang Sect, from Shen Xingxian to the lowest Foundation Establishment disciples, stared in disbelief at the shocking scene before them.

Those monsters that terrified them were utterly wiped out like chickens and dogs in front of the puppet legions of Zhenshan and Duanjin!
Everyone knows that Zhenshan and Duanjin are Nascent Soul Demon Lords under Jiang Heying, they are demon spirits, the demon spirits of Beixuan.

They are truly fearless against demonic energy!

"We're saved! Let's fight alongside the Demon Lord!!"

The morale of the Ziyang Sect cultivators was instantly ignited to its peak. The previous fear and despair were dispelled by this powerful support, replaced by the ecstasy of surviving a disaster and a burning fighting spirit.

Shen Xingxian seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, her voice hoarse with excitement.

"Disciples of the Ziyang Sect, listen to my command! Stabilize the formation! The rest of you, rely on the puppet army and follow me in the counterattack!"

"kill--"

A deafening roar echoed through the sky.

However, before Shen Xingxian could begin his killing spree, he received a cold, icy telepathic message from Duan Jin.

"True Lord, the demon who commands this group of monsters seems to be not in the sea, but probably hiding among the cultivators on the island. Please find this demon quickly and kill the demon leader so that the demon tide will recede. Otherwise, it will never end."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xingxian broke out in a cold sweat.

Before coming to Zhenmo Pass, the Mountain and Sea Alliance had already told him all the key points of fighting the demon tide. When the demon tide appeared, Shen Xingxian had been searching for the demons who were commanding the demon tide, but he couldn't find them.

Shen Xingxian paused in mid-air, then suddenly turned around and swept his gaze over all the Ziyang Sect cultivators below.
