Divine Seal: From a Heavy Sword to Slicing Through the Holy Demon Continent

“You’ve been carrying something on your mind ever since that incident, and I could sense a sense of repression emanating from you,” Cai’er said softly.

She was referring to the decision to appoint Long Haochen as deputy regimental commander; she was very sensitive to such matters.

Long Haoyu gently squeezed Cai'er's hand, knowing that she was very sensitive in this regard, and said softly, "How could there not be a sense of oppression when you are on the battlefield of the demon race?"

"As for what's on my mind, I'll tell you when the time is right. It's not time yet."

Hearing Long Haoyu's words, which were clearly meant to comfort her, Cai'er softly hummed in agreement: "I will wait until that time comes."

"Okay, then let's wait together..."

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang—

Just as Long Haoyu was about to continue talking with Cai'er, a summons from the military headquarters rang out around the tent.

Not only in the First Battalion, but in all the other camps, figures moved swiftly through the camps, all rushing towards the city wall of Exorcism Pass.

There are several levels of summons within the Exorcism Pass. The sound we just heard was the highest level, requiring all soldiers within the Exorcism Pass to be mobilized for battle.

"There's movement, let's go!"

Long Haoyu gave a soft shout, immediately returned to his tent to wake everyone up, and rushed towards the city wall of Exorcism Pass.

On the city wall, figures frantically carried supplies, each soldier gripping his weapon tightly.

A solemn atmosphere enveloped everyone.

"Battalion Commander, Captain Long Haoyu of the Personal Guard is reporting for duty with all his men!"

Long Haoyu found Zhang Hairong, bowed readily, and was prepared to be taken care of.

Zhang Hairong's expression was extremely solemn. While keeping an eye on the situation below the city wall, he shouted, "Adapt to the situation and prepare for a bloody battle!"

Long Haoyu hummed in agreement and made a few hand gestures to signal Long Haochen and the others to prepare themselves, their gazes turning towards the exorcism pass below.

A well-organized demon army is approaching Exorcism Pass.

Looking around, one can see ten perfectly aligned legions of dual-wielding demons, followed by many legions of magic-eyed sorcerers.

Compared to the usual chaos, the demon army today seemed to have something important to do.

Long Haoyu was not surprised by this scene. He looked at the demon army and then looked up at the sky.

Many flying demons, such as the Beta Flying Demon, cast a gloomy atmosphere over the sky.

"As expected, this matter brought my grandfather here ahead of schedule."

"As I originally knew, this scene should have happened a month later, but now it has happened so much earlier."

"The cooperation between the white beast and Haoyue, the defeat of the three demon gods, and the fear that was passed down in their blood led to all these changes."

Long Haoyu gazed intently at the vast army of demons, maintaining a very composed expression.

He remembered very clearly that the Holy Spirit Heart had originally used the Rejuvenation Furnace and needed more than forty days to recover, while his maternal grandfather descended upon the Exorcism Pass after the Holy Spirit Heart had recovered.

But now...

Time had not yet reached the point he originally knew, but was evolving just as he had guessed.

"Have these demons all gone mad?" Lin Xin and the others exclaimed in shock.

Even with experience fighting demons, the demon army below the city walls was still taken aback at this moment.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, feeling immense pressure.

Long Haoyu gently nudged the small white beast on his shoulder and, through telepathic communication, conveyed some information to it.

Then, he continued to maintain a serious expression as he looked at the demon army below the city walls.

The little white beast understood Long Haoyu's meaning, nodded its little head, and ran back to the camp in a flash.

His tiny eyes were brimming with excitement.

Chapter 223. The Heaven-Defying Demonic Dragon Pillar, the Demon God Emperor Appears!

Soon, the Holy Spirit Heart arrived on the city wall.

Looking at the countless demons outside the Demon Exorcism Pass, his expression was so solemn and gloomy that it seemed to drip water.

"Has the demon race completely gone mad? Suddenly mobilizing such a large army, are they trying to break through our Demon Exorcism Pass at all costs?"

Holy Spirit gasped. As the military commander of Exorcism Pass, he had witnessed countless battles, but today's scene still left him somewhat astonished.

Saint Moon stood beside the Holy Spirit Heart, looking at the numerous demons outside the Demon Exorcism Pass, her brows furrowed with a grave expression: "This is only one possibility. For the demons to take such action, it is also possible that a great figure from the demon race is about to arrive here."

"If that's the case, then they must be trying to negotiate with our Exorcism Pass. This kind of intimidation is just to gain more advantages in the negotiations."

Negotiation?

This is not a simple matter of negotiation!

Long Haoyu sighed inwardly. At present, there were only shadows of the Magic Bird, Magic Vulture, Two-Headed Magic Vulture, and Beta Flying Demon in the sky.

Knowing all this, he could not afford to be careless because of these confusing behaviors.

Before long, more than ten black dragons, each over ten feet long, suddenly appeared in the very center of the flock of demonic vultures in the sky.

Its mere presence alone served to control the situation, its powerful aura spreading throughout the heavens and earth.

"Black Dragon Guards!"

"It seems they're not here to negotiate this time, but to fight to the death and break through our Exorcism Pass!"

"Otherwise, the Demon Emperor's personal guards wouldn't be here!"

With a low shout, Saint Moon's aura surged, and powerful figures shot out from the Assassin Temple headquarters.

Each figure stared intently at the numerous demon army outside the Demon Exorcism Pass, as well as the dozen or so black dragons at the very center of the demon air force.

The Demon God Emperor's Black Dragon Guards are a symbol of power, no matter where they are.

Unlike other demons, to become a member of the Demon God Emperor's personal guard, one must be a member of the ninth-rank Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan.

In other words, there are now more than a dozen ninth-tier beings in the demon army.

In a direct confrontation, the exorcists couldn't gain any advantage.

"Grandfather! I'll go get ready now!"

Holy Spirit Heart let out a low shout, sensing Holy Moon's fighting spirit. He didn't intend to just watch, and made a move to prepare.

Saint Moon grunted, his face growing even more somber: "The demon army is launching a powerful attack, but our Assassin Temple has been recuperating for thousands of years. Even if we can't stop the demon army's offensive, we'll still be able to withstand it."

"But it won't be easy for them to take over our Exorcism Pass so easily. Even if they are completely wiped out, they will pay a bloody price!"

boom--

Suddenly, as soon as Sheng Yue finished speaking, three dazzling beams of light shot out from afar.

The three pillars of light were familiar to Long Haoyu and his group, as were Saint Moon and Holy Spirit Heart. They were none other than the three demon gods who had attempted to assassinate Holy Spirit Heart a few days prior.

Unfortunately, the presence of the white beast and Haoyue at the time meant that these three demon gods were unable to play any role at all.

just now……

The three demon gods have returned, clearly indicating their intention to forcefully break through the barrier.

"Such a large army of demons, more than a dozen black dragon guards of the Demon God Emperor, and three great demon gods have come together."

"Heh, the demons want to see just how far our Assassin's Temple has recuperated!"

"By my decree, all members of the Assassin's Temple are to stand by, even at the cost of their lives, slaughter as many demons as possible!"

"Even if we can't stop them, we must buy time for reinforcements to arrive. We can't let the Demon Exorcism Pass fall like this!"

The voice of the Holy Moon spread out in all directions.

Everyone inside the exorcism pass heard it, and all ten demon-hunting teams could feel the resolute determination in Saint Moon's words.

Not only them, but the rest of the soldiers, including many assassins in the Assassin Temple headquarters, also hid in the shadows.

Every assassin kept in mind Holy Moon's plan: to take a few down with them even in death.

At this moment, several old relics from the Assassin's Temple looked towards the Black Dragon Guards and the three Demon Gods.

Team battles are not their forte as assassins, but assassinating the enemy's commander amidst the chaos of battle is not too difficult.

They had almost guessed the final outcome; none of them wanted to live such a wretched life, and all of them were determined to drag a few others down with them.

The only difference is that the ones they want to be used as scapegoats are the three great demon gods or the Black Dragon Guards.

The ordinary soldiers, on the other hand, wanted to use their own flesh and blood to drag other demons down with them!

After issuing these decrees, the Holy Moon never took its eyes off the three demon gods.

however……

After the three pillars of demons descended before the Exorcism Pass, the three great demons emerged from them but did not look directly at the Holy Moon.

In perfect unison, the three demon gods looked towards the rear, and the vast demon army also fell silent at that moment, looking directly towards the rear of the army.

Rumbling--

It was like a thunderclap.

A beam of dark golden light suddenly shot up from the distant horizon.

The jet-gold pillar of light was enormous, with a diameter of over ten miles, and it darkened the bright sky the moment it appeared.

The sun above the dome seemed to have been struck down and vanished without a trace by this beam of light.

"That one actually came too?"

Saint Moon was taken aback, staring in disbelief at the dark golden pillar of light.

Before the beam of light even reached him, he felt his heart being gripped by an invisible hand.

Long Haoyu stared intently at the dark golden pillar of light in the distance. He knew very well that it was his grandfather's super artifact, the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Pillar.

Even from a great distance, one could feel the aura emanating from this heaven-defying demonic dragon pillar.

With the appearance of the Heaven-Defying Demonic Dragon Pillar, Long Haoyu's breathing became rapid.

Because of his demon-controlling cultivation, the heaven-defying demonic dragon bloodline he had unearthed on his own seemed to be boiling.
