Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 181 Like the Sun Shining High (Part Two)

clang clang...

The golden and crimson sword light surged and roared, tearing through layer after layer of air currents.

The sword light shattered the bodies of countless demonic beasts, and the stench of blood that splattered out rose thousands of feet away.

It was as if a dark red rain of blood had fallen from the void!
The surviving human warriors watched as they were bathed in blood rain and fought alongside countless demonic beasts.

Screams and sounds of fighting echoed constantly!

But almost no one backed down!

For them, who had become numb from the fighting, they were survivors of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

They knew all too well that even retreating wouldn't buy them a few more breaths of survival.

Once this giant city standing on the land of Yangzhou has completely fallen.

What awaited them was nothing more than being devoured alive.

This is not a battle between humans. In order to break the enemy's will more quickly, they may even choose the tactic of surrounding three sides and leaving one side open.

It was nothing short of blatant slaughter, torture, and cannibalism!
This is barbarity and disorder, an impact on and annihilation of civilization and order!

Most people, no matter how dull or stupid, have already figured it out.

Under this overwhelming trend, if no human powerhouse steps forward, everyone, whether in a high position or a beggar at the bottom, will die!
It's simply a matter of dying early or late.

boom! boom! boom……

Within the city, new innate beings continued to rise from the ground. Although they were not as powerful as the two sect leaders who were at the half-step Void Realm, they could still briefly step into the air by riding the rolling air currents.

Someone brandished a long sword, unleashing a torrent of blade waves that rippled through the air, tearing apart flesh and blood, only to have a steel feather pierce through his body in the end.

The great demon swooped down, its gaping maw, crisscrossed with sharp teeth, rolled, tore, and ground the victim into bloody foam, which it then swallowed.

"Beast!"

A thunderbolt exploded in the sky, and a dazzling sword light, like a long river, fell down, crushing the giant beast into the air.

Others stretched out their arms, and thick arrows, like spears, flew through the air, piercing through countless demonic beasts.

However, he was scorched by the falling flames, turning into a wisp of black ash that scattered and drifted away, ending his glorious life as a natural archer.

This fierce battle occurred almost simultaneously across the city walls, the sky, and the earth...

One side arrived utterly irrational, driven by pure and brutal killing intent.

On the other hand, the human race was forced to the extreme and could only survive by retaliating with the fiercest and most violent attitude.

A thick, pungent stench of blood shot into the sky, coalescing into a heavy, inescapable cloud of crimson blood.

Boom!
A colossal beast, resembling a tiger or leopard but towering dozens of feet tall, fell from the sky.

The cut at its neck was smooth, the head was nowhere to be seen, and warm blood gushed out like molten lava.

It even scorched the earth, causing it to emit thick white smoke.

"I really thought these beasts had reached the Void Realm, but I never expected... they're just empty shells!"

Above the sky, Gu Yong roared, his golden robe fluttering wildly, stained with thick blood.

The longsword floating behind it was missing a corner, but its pure Yang sword energy was so intense that even the smallest particles that drifted by seemed to be cut in half!
Like an unparalleled sword god bathed in sword light!
Just as he was feeling proud, a jet-black blade-like foot, as black as a giant axe, suddenly emerged from nothingness.

Its sharpness suddenly tore through the air currents, and in one fell swoop it was about to completely shatter Gu Yong.

"careful!"

Zhuge Yuanhong let out a long roar, and the black and white sword light flowed down, pouring all of it before this blade foot.

"Ants..."

A violent explosion suddenly rang out, and a black behemoth, seemingly destined by fate, slightly opened its eyes, completely disregarding the terrifying black and white sword light.

Crunch!

Amidst a piercing, ear-splitting scream, Zhuge Yuanhong unleashed a black and white sword aura, almost comparable to a strike from a Void Realm expert…

It was as if the air currents were nothing at all, and it was easily shattered into powder by this divine blade.

"Finally...it's here!"

Blood spilled from the corner of Zhuge Yuanhong's mouth, and the black and white Dao of life and death deep in his eyes almost materialized and descended into reality!

This scene was all too familiar to him!
The Void Realm Ancestor of Guiyuan Sect was severely injured by this Void Realm Great Demon!

The original stronghold of the Guiyuan Sect, Jiangning County, was also breached by this Void Realm demon with a single foot, causing it to fall.

Now... it's the last city within the Yangzhou area that's going to be captured!

However, within this remaining giant city, besides them, the Void Realm Ancestor of the Guiyuan Sect was already seriously injured and unconscious.

Meanwhile, the blind swordsman saint of Qinghu Island, who had reached the Great Perfection of the Void Realm, also faced a terrifying demon that descended from the sky one day, and the two fought for an unknown distance.

Even now, when this only land of humans is besieged by countless demons, they still have not returned.

They must have encountered some misfortune.

Now... besides these two half-step Void Realm beings, who else in the city can put up a fight?

"No!"

Gu Yong roared, and the broken golden sword light surged, crashing down towards the divine blade-like foot!

Click!

The sword light shattered again. Gu Yong coughed up a mouthful of blood, his hair and beard bristling as he roared.
"You, a divine beast of the barbarian race... why do you venture out of the desolate forest to invade the land of my human race! My ancestor of Qinghu Island was the Heavenly Eye Sword Saint. Do you want to test the sharpness of my ancestor's sword?"

Qinghu Island rules over Yangzhou, which borders the wild forest. Naturally, it knows a great deal about this mysterious treasure trove that is rich in rare and precious natural materials.

Similarly, deep within the wild forest, the true masters are: the barbarians!
I also have some understanding of it.

They knew that this was a large race that had split off from the human race, with few members but extremely strong.

They have always lived a life of harmony with monsters.

They even worshipped several powerful demons at the Void Realm level.

The giant centipede with a hundred legs in front of them is one of the divine beasts worshipped by the barbarian people.

Clearly, although it has not yet reached the Void Realm, its strength has greatly increased, and it has not lost its mind.

"The barbarians... have driven our race for countless years. The first to become food for our demon race's children was the barbarians!"

The centipede demon's eyes were deep and cold, then it turned its gaze to Gu Yong with a cold smile.

"As for that old blind man you mentioned..."

Bang!

A thin iron rod covered in rust fell from nothingness and landed in front of Gu Yong.

The giant beast revealed a mouthful of sharp, razor-sharp teeth.

"His physical strength is not bad, but he's a bit too skinny!"

boom!
These words further extinguished the hope in the hearts of countless people who were already in despair.

Even the Heavenly Eye Sword Saint, who had reached the peak of the Void Realm, perished at the hands of these great demons. Do they... really still have hope?

The reason they remained stationed there, clinging to a sliver of hope, was that deep down they believed the human race's Void Realm experts would always step in at the crucial moment.

Can……

Zheng!
Gu Yong's face turned pale as he cleaved through the thousands of feet of turbulent waves with a single sword strike.

"You...you're lying! Impossible!" The sword energy stretched for thousands of feet, but when it landed on the centipede demon, it only caused sparks to fly.

Not even a trace of white mark was left on its shell.

"Haha, they really won't shed a tear until they see the coffin!"

The moment the words fell, a series of loud explosions echoed through the air.

An invisible yet omnipresent terrifying pressure, accompanied by terrifying figures, swept out from the endless beast tide.

Every single one of the great demons that has come this time is comparable to this centipede demon!
One of the giant demons, a hundred feet tall and almost as tall as the city wall, sneered.

As they stepped forward, the ground trembled violently, and jagged cracks extended in all directions.

With each step he took, countless weak demons burst into dark red blood beneath his feet, which seeped deep into the earth.

Zhuge Yuanhong felt the overwhelming, omnipresent, terrifying pressure surging towards him, his chest heaving slightly.

"Brother Gu! Today... we may all perish here, but before that, we must take one person with us!"

Zheng!
The sound still echoed in the void, and from the depths of his body, a fierce aura far exceeding the level of the Innate Golden Core had already burst forth!

Its aura is harmonious and complete, as if it were connected with the entire world.

In an instant, wisps of gray sword energy, like rain and mist, suddenly solidified from the depths of the void!

It transformed into a vast, all-encompassing net, enveloping the centipede demon.

Gu Yong's expression showed a mixture of surprise and disappointment.

"You actually... had already reached this point!"

Only at this moment did he truly see clearly the person with whom he had fought for decades, someone who was both an enemy and a friend.

It turns out that... this Sect Master Zhuge, who rarely made a move after achieving the Innate Golden Core stage, actually had more than one path of cultivation!
There are two!

One of them is the Path of Mist, which he now uses to enter the Void Realm.

Even after persisting in refining one's spirit and returning to emptiness, one can only grasp one-tenth of the power of heaven and earth!
The other path is the path of black and white, life and death.

If one can persist in refining one's spirit and returning to emptiness, one can step into the realm of emptiness.

Upon entering the Void Realm, one can control thirty percent... or even more of the power of heaven and earth!
Therefore, he could now see clearly that Zhuge Yuanhong had great ambitions and wanted to use the Dao of Black and White Life and Death to refine his spirit and reverse his emptiness.

Now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to make a choice: to break through to the next realm using the already perfected Path of Mist.

"Enough! There's no point in thinking about this anymore. I'll help you!"

Gu Yong has completely let go.

The sword energy, imbued with the metal element of the five elements of heaven and earth, swept out with unparalleled sharpness, combining with Zhuge Yuanhong's sword energy of mist, and charged out to kill!

Now, they have almost no way to survive.

If one can take away a terrifying demon that has reached the Great Perfection of the Void Realm and is close to its peak when one dies, then one will have made a great contribution to the human race of the Nine Provinces!
"kill!"

The shouts of battle from the ground also shook the heavens.

Clang! Clang! Clang…

Fine, misty sword light rubbed intensely against the sky.

Even the centipede demon had shallow marks on its body, making it look disheveled.

But from beginning to end... it never fundamentally damaged its foundation.

A moment later, two blood-red, moon-like eyes suddenly opened, and billowing blood mist swirled around the centipede demon.

The terrifying, surging, and powerful energy instantly cleaved the sky and the surrounding landscape.

"Have you had enough?"

As it opened its hoarse mouth, a huge sound wave instantly erupted.

In an instant, the entire city shook as if an earthquake had struck, and the ground was blasted apart inch by inch!
Countless lives that approached it, whether human or demon, were agitated into countless tiny, invisible blood mists by this terrifying sound wave!
Clang! Clang! Clang…

The chilling sharpness stretched for dozens of miles, and the air currents rippled violently like the waves of a stormy sea.

Zhuge Yuanhong's sword energy, which covered the sky, suddenly shattered and dissipated under its sharpness.

"It's over! I should have given him the Void Armor."

Gu Yong's expression remained unchanged, but inwardly he wailed, filled with regret.

Qinghu Island is the sect that inherited the most of the legacy and resources of the Yangzhou Sword Sect after its destruction a thousand years ago.

This battle armor, forged by a Void Realm expert, was naturally obtained by them as well.

If Zhuge Yuanhong were to don the Void Armor now, he might be able to withstand the fierce attack of this great demon for a little longer.

But draping it over him only served to protect him from another blow.

But... things have come to this point, and any further speculation is just empty talk.

This mournful cry also resounded in the hearts of countless human defenders of the city.

There is a vast, insurmountable gap between different virtual realms.

Especially when comparing someone like Zhuge Yuanhong, who has only recently entered the Void Realm, with someone like the Centipede Demon, who has honed his skills in the Void Realm for countless years.

This difference is particularly clear!

The gap is not something that Gu Yong, a mere half-step Void Realm cultivator, could bridge with his help!
"These two are my food supply; none of you should try to take it from me!"

The centipede demon's eyes were blood red, and its jet-black, blade-like legs rose up like giant blades.

Sharp rays shot into the sky, and Zhuge Yuanhong could not withstand it for a moment, his hair bun was shattered!
Clang!
A sharp glint appeared in the sky, and Zhuge Yuanhong's pupils suddenly contracted sharply. A thought surged uncontrollably into his mind.
"I will die!"

"Fortunately, Qingshan had already escaped the encirclement before this... and only he has any hope of saving humanity!"

In his utter despair, he suddenly remembered his most talented closed-door disciple!

He had never seen anyone with such terrifying talent.

Even the most extensive historical records spanning tens of thousands of years are only comparable to Xiang Fanchen, who lived a few hundred years ago.

This demonic monk, Xiang Fanchen, is almost one of the most powerful beings at the half-step level!

"I hope so! I'm a little tired..."

The moment the thought arose, he could still sense that the endless sword light lying in front of him had crumbled inch by inch like a spider web.

So many people died in this calamity, and now... it's finally his turn!

Clang!
Just as he was calmly facing death, a loud clang of metal suddenly rang out in front of him.

Before he could fully raise his eyes, a blazing blood aura that seemed to pierce the sky suddenly surged up, like a blazing sun rising from the ground!
"This is……"

Zhuge Yuanhong's chest heaved violently!

A majestic fist intent soared into the sky, shaking the heavens and the earth, rising like a pillar supporting the sky amidst the endless storm.

This fist technique is vast and majestic, like the sun high in the sky, yet... it is more like the torrent of humanity!
hum!
Within a radius of dozens of miles, the sound of thunderbolts piercing the void resounded.

"you dare!"

Terrifying roars came from all directions.

But it was another powerful demon from the Void Realm!
It was merely a lingering aftershock of the fist's intent; Zhuge Yuanhong suddenly felt a white blur before his eyes.

It filled and obscured all his senses and perceptions, leaving only a blazing torrent hanging high in the void he could perceive!
Then it came crashing down!
