Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 180 Monster Siege (Part 2)

Rumble!
On the vast Yangzhou Plain, an ancient and desolate megacity stands.

This is the only place in Yangzhou where two of the three major sects still exist.

Now, atop this city wall, countless armored warriors stand on high alert, their hearts filled with despair and desolation.

A powerful innate expert with an imposing aura muttered to himself.
"Do you think... we can really survive? Can we really hold onto this last piece of land?"

Even someone as powerful as them couldn't help but feel despair at this moment.

"My father! My brothers! They all died yesterday, and I don't know how much longer I will live!"

Another innate expert gazed at the end of the plain, his face filled with indescribable sorrow.

After experiencing life and death again and again, they were even somewhat numb. For them at this moment, living... was even worse than dying!
This is not just simple fear, but an indescribable pain!

Just the day before, in Yangzhou, the second largest city remaining for the human race, had collapsed amidst an endless tide of beasts.

Apart from the human powerhouses who tamed the flying monsters, all the countless creatures within the city were transformed into provisions for the beast tide!

On this unique city tower, the three major sects, who were once mortal enemies, are now unusually holding their positions in one place!
Faced with a catastrophe truly capable of wiping out the entire human race, they realized that what they once thought was a deep-seated blood feud was nothing more than that.

Therefore, on this city tower, there were not only elites from the three major sects that were once enemies.

Even desperate bandits in the mountains and members of once-ruthless gangs still exist.

Ever since that unknown tide of demonic beasts swept across the entire Kyushu continent.

In just a few years, they wiped out countless human forces.

This process was happening so fast that they didn't even have time to fight amongst themselves in their remaining habitats.

They then faced a situation where giant beasts besieged the city!
The demonic beasts, who had long been suppressed by the human race, seemed to have been tainted by a power completely different from the energy of heaven and earth, and their strength had increased dramatically.

From that moment on, ordinary demons at the Acquired Realm actually broke through the threshold of the Innate Realm.

The former innate great demon took advantage of this opportunity to achieve a tremendous increase in pure power.

Approaching the threshold of the Void Realm!

In this way, the Void Realm Great Demons, who were originally far inferior to human powerhouses in terms of both realm and number, instantly became more than a hundred times larger than the human race!
Perhaps they have only reached this level in terms of their physical strength and power.

Perhaps after they absorbed this power, their minds were clouded and swallowed up, and they were always controlled by a destructive and violent force.

But the sheer number of them is simply astonishing!
But if that's all there is to it, then the nine major sects of the human race, which occupy the land of Kyushu, will be left behind.

With its profound foundation and orderly inheritance, it will one day be able to completely wipe them out.

After all, among the nine major sects of the human race, there are behemoths such as the Yuhuang Sect, the Qinling Ying Clan, and the Western Regions Buddhist Sect!

If we were to say that there are Void Realm experts within the nine major sects...

Among these three major sects, there are beings who have reached the Void Realm, or even those comparable to the Void Realm!

As long as a Void Realm expert is mobilized, no matter how large the number of demons is, they will all be annihilated by the Void Realm expert!

However... not all demons were swept up in this anomaly by its tyranny and destructive intent.

Among this vast number of demons, there are even more great demons who can truly be called giants, who were originally in the Void Realm, and even in the Great Perfection of the Void Realm!

There are even many powerful demons, terrifying demon races that existed since the time of Emperor Yu!
As peerless demons who have existed for almost eternity, they possess nearly inexhaustible beast essence compared to humans.

However, because they are born with the attribute of demons, no matter how noble their bloodline was or how terrifying their talent was, they are not considered demons.

However, when they reach the Great Perfection of the Void Realm, it is extremely difficult for them to see through the barrier and condense their own Void Realm naturally, like the human race!
But given this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, most of them not only did not fall into it.

Instead, he took this opportunity to temper his will over thousands of years and finally broke through the limits of heaven and earth, stepping into the Void Realm in one fell swoop!

And in the process, they finally learned the secrets of heaven and earth.

Do you know why, throughout the ages, so many geniuses have emerged from the human race?

As for the demon race, even if a genius suddenly appears, they either become a foil to the human genius or are subdued by the human genius and reduced to guarding the house.

All of this originated from ten thousand years ago when Emperor Yu cast the Nine Tripods to regulate the turbulent energy between heaven and earth!
This allowed the will of humanity to be integrated into the fundamental will of the world!
This has led the will of the entire world to subtly favor the human race.

Whether they are exceptionally talented or blessed with great fortune, most of them are born within the human race.

So much so that since the beginning of the Yu Emperor's reign, all the supreme beings born in this world have been human, and not a single one has been a demon!

However, from ancient times to the present, demon-type powerhouses have always been subtly stronger than human martial artists within the same realm.

The powerful demon who had uncovered this secret was filled with rage.

This means that they have been deceived by Emperor Yu for all eternity!
Among the great demons who survived, some were even suppressed by Emperor Yu within the nodes of heaven and earth for countless years.

It's all because Emperor Yu promised that he wouldn't deliberately target the demon race!

The other group suffered an even greater humiliation, having been deceived and subdued by Emperor Yu, and forced to guard the Yu Emperor's Gate for countless years!

However, Emperor Yu quietly altered the will of heaven and earth, making the human race stronger and the demon race weaker!
Enraged, these powerful demons at the Void Realm commanded countless hordes of demon beasts to sweep across the Nine Provinces.

This group of powerful demons, hidden deep within the Nine Provinces and whose strength was only at the Great Perfection of the Void Realm, originally possessed strength comparable to human experts who had just entered the Void Realm.

Now that they have entered the Void Realm, they are even more incredibly powerful!
Even that old Buddhist monk who had entered the Void Realm for countless years and even experienced one reincarnation was severely injured and forced to flee under the siege of two Void Realm demons!
Therefore, this ancient land, which had always been dominated by humans, was finally soaked in endless blood!
Deep within the origin of the world, the once powerful and inexhaustible torrent of humanity is shrinking and becoming smaller under the impact of this terrifying external force.

……

Rumble!
At the edge of heaven and earth, a deep black line, seemingly without end, rose from nowhere.

The moment the black lines appeared, rolling thunder roared and surged towards this ancient and desolate city!

The city, hundreds of feet high, actually began to tremble!
Screech! Yo!
On the ground, there were surging herds of beasts like a tidal wave, and in the sky, there were also countless flying monsters that stretched as far as the eye could see.

With the flapping of its giant wings, turbulent air currents were violently squeezed out, engulfing the entire sky amidst a shrill, tearing sound like ghosts howling and wolves wailing!
In the blink of an eye, the clear blue sky and bright sunshine were completely obscured!

Under this apocalyptic atmosphere, even the survivors who had escaped through countless dangers could not bear it any longer. Some of them drew their swords and committed suicide on the city wall!

As this frenzied momentum swept in, powerful figures rose from the ground within the city, riding the air currents and soaring into the sky.

For a moment, the city was filled with a tense atmosphere and a profound silence.

Even the young children cried until their tears dried up, barely daring to breathe.

Huhu
Above the void, a fierce wind raged and swept across the sky. Gu Yong held a seven-foot-long sword in his hand, his face showing a mixture of relief and感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both reflection and reflection).
"Zhuge Yuanhong... I never imagined that the two of us would one day join forces!" Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yuanhong also showed a bitter smile on his face.
"Haha, Gu Yong! You and I have been fighting for decades, and the Guiyuan Sect on Qinghu Island has been clashing with each other for hundreds of years!"

"Now, you are all prepared to finish the job in one battle and completely destroy my Guiyuan Sect and Tieyi Sect. But you never thought that you would end up fighting alongside us."

"The ways of the world... are truly unpredictable!"

Decades ago, the two of them were renowned young geniuses throughout the Nine Provinces.

They have fought each other countless times!
The two sides had their share of victories and defeats, until finally, Zhuge Yuanhong's strength became increasingly profound, and he even subtly overtook Gu Yongshi!

Both of them are already the number one in their respective sects, second only to the Void Realm Ancestor!

"We never expected that despite our best efforts to hide it, we still couldn't escape your notice."

Now that things had come to this, Gu Yong no longer concealed the truth and instead frankly admitted it.

"Indeed... life is unpredictable! Just like my junior brother..."

His junior brother is Zhao Danchen, who ranks tenth on the Heavenly Ranking!

They were once stationed in another city.

Now that the city has fallen, his junior brother is also highly likely to have no way to survive. His only fate will be to be submerged in the beast tide, with nothing else to do.

Now... it's his turn!
Rumble!
An endless black tide surged down from the earth and the sky.

These low-level demonic beasts, whose minds had been invaded by the evil energy of the Styx River, showed absolutely no fear of death in their eyes.

Driven by pure and brutal killing intent, they felt no pain whatsoever. Relying on their powerful bodies imbued with murderous aura, they charged straight toward the hundred-foot-high city wall!

boom!
A dark cloud of blood mist exploded on the city wall.

What followed was an overwhelming shadow, crashing against the city walls.
A strong stench of blood rose into the sky, reaching the very tops of countless human defenders, and a chilling aura of death pierced their bodies.

Countless armored soldiers on the city wall endured the intense visual impact as they drew their bows and pulled their arrows.

A barrage of arrows pierced the air and shot out.

There's no need to aim at all; you can just fire by feel and shoot down several monsters in the surging tide of beasts!
But the damage they caused at this moment was far less than the casualties caused by the group of monsters committing suicide under the city wall!
Never before has a war between humans been so brutal and horrific!

These demonic beasts... clearly weren't after humans.

Instead, they want to exterminate humanity, and in the process of doing so... also destroy themselves completely!
Zheng!
Amidst the booming thunderous sound, and a sword's cry reaching its peak of intensity, two figures rode the surging air currents.

It was none other than the Guiyuan Sect Master, who was ranked high on the Heavenly Ranking, and the Qinghu Island Master!

Both of them were powerful individuals at the Innate Golden Core level.

"That's... a Void Realm cultivator? The only two Void Realm cultivators in our Yangzhou Central Sect, weren't they seriously injured in that defensive battle? They've recovered!"

Some people looked up at the sky, and the hope in their hearts was stirred by these two figures.

Although innate experts are powerful, due to the limitations of the world's rules, only those in the Void Realm who merge with heaven and earth and have inexhaustible true essence can truly walk on air.

"Those are not Void Realm experts. They are Gu Yong, the island lord of Qinghu Island, and Zhuge, the sect lord of Guiyuan Sect! Although they are powerful, they have not yet stepped into the Void Realm."

A former top-ranked expert sighed!
As a martial artist at the peak of the Acquired Realm, about to step into the Innate Realm.

He could naturally sense that although these two experts on the Heavenly Ranking were strong, they lacked the aura of being one with heaven and earth that a Void Realm expert possessed.

But in fact, even for those of them who have reached the peak of acquired skills...

By releasing internal energy outwards and coordinating it with the trembling of one's muscles and bones, one can achieve a brief moment of stillness in mid-air.

And these two sect leaders, who are at the limit of the innate Golden Core stage, are almost half a step into the Void Realm.

Even with full combat power, without releasing one's innate true essence, and without worrying about losses, it is still possible to walk in the air.

However, unlike the Void Realm, it cannot have an almost infinite supply of true essence to draw upon.

Once you've exhausted your strength, you'll be in a huge crisis!
Zheng! Zheng! Zheng……

They were bathed in intense, dazzling sword energy, tearing two blood-red holes in the dark, silent void!
It was as if two streaks of blood suddenly seeped out from a canvas covered in thick ink.

If it were a normal human army, or a rational beast tide.

Faced with this terrifying scene, they might be overwhelmed by fear and forced to scatter and flee.

But the beast tide that is sweeping in now... is mostly composed of mindless, bloodthirsty demons!

"Roar! Die!"

Amidst the endless expanse of dark-colored beasts, a roar suddenly rang out.

Immediately, several strangely shaped yet exceptionally majestic figures burst forth, roaring and compressing the surrounding air currents as they soared into the sky, heading straight for the two.

A terrifying aura rolled in, and even powerful figures like Zhuge Yuanhong and Gu Yong felt an inexplicable pressure.

"The Void Realm?"

Gu Yong's expression turned slightly cold.

Zhuge Yuanhong's expression was cold.

"No...it's something between the innate and the void realm!"

boom!
A sudden, violent burst of innate true energy caused Zhuge Yuanhong's sleeve to tremble violently, raising a fierce beam of light that swept hundreds of feet into the air.

With a single sword strike, the raptors suspended in mid-air all fell to the ground.

"Screech! You're asking for death!"

A massive black shadow descended, blotting out the sky. Its long beak spread out, and flames burned the heavens, instantly engulfing the sword light.

Zheng!
The sword energy stretched for thousands of feet, and the raptor let out a miserable cry as one of its wings was cut off.

Rumble!
A terrifying battle is taking place in the sky.

With the combined efforts of the two top-ranked experts, several powerful demons whose auras were close to the Void Realm actually fell from the sky one after another.

There was no sign of life at all.
