Against the Gods

The Great City Barrier Formation was still in perfect condition, while Xuanyuan Wentian’s expression had finally turned ugly.    

Three     

months ago, his strength rose explosively and he had believed that     

there was no longer anyone that could go against him. However, he was     

heavily injured by the Little Demon Empress and he only managed to turn     

the tide by relying on the Eternal Night Devil Sword. Within these three     

months, sixty percent of his devil blood had already awakened and he     

believed that even if there were three Little Demon Empresses, it was     

definitely impossible for them to be his match. However, before he could     

even encounter the Little Demon Empress, he was being slapped in the     

face by this Great City Barrier Formation.    

A droplet of water was     

not enough to form a stream but by gathering countless droplets, it     

could bring about a large wave that could cover the skies!    

The     

dark clouds in the sky were tumbling. With a face that had twisted into     

that of a ferocious devil’s, the black aura on Xuanyuan Wentian’s body     

reached an extreme level of density. An enormous black vortex revolved     

behind him, as though it was the first terrifying black hole made in     

primordial space.    

An indescribable pressure enveloped Demon     

Imperial City and it even enveloped the entire sky and earth. Xuanyuan     

Wentian had actually elevated his darkness profound energy to his     

absolute limits!    

Before arriving here, he had actually believed     

that with present strength, he could sweep across the Illusory Demon     

Realm with a wave of his hand. He had definitely not expected that he     

would actually have to unleash his full power to deal with a mere     

barrier!    

“Heh… Heh… Heh… This sure is done pretty well.” Xuanyuan     

Wentian laughed in a sullen manner. However, his expression was no     

longer covered completely with scorn but now with a hint of fury and     

irritation. “However, no matter how ants struggle, they will still be     

merely a bunch of lowly ants!!”    

Xuanyuan Wentian pounced towards     

the barrier with a dark aura that filled the entire sky and a huge     

pitch-black hand stretched out of the dark vortex behind him, violently     

smashing onto the barrier which was flashing with purple and green     

lights.    

This was strength nearing the divine way, a terrifying     

power that had never appeared in this plane. Wherever the gigantic     

pitch-black claw reached, the fragile space would immediately break down     

into dust and before it even closed in, the barrier was already twisted     

to a significant degree.    

“Brothers, let’s bet on the life and honor of every single one of us… We must hold on!!”    

After     

the intense roar, the Yun Clan, Under Heaven Clan and all the Illusory     

Demon profound practitioners behind them let out roars that filled the     

sky as they blocked Xuanyuan Wentian’s attacks one after another. The     

roars allowed them to suppress their initial fear with even more     

confidence as several hundred thousand profound lights instantly shone,     

merging into a radiance above the barrier that was comparable to the     

sun...    

Boom——    

The entire barrier, along with the entire     

Demon Imperial City, shook intensely. The sky suddenly darkened as the     

gigantic dark hand struck the barrier. A black vortex of more than three     

kilometers in diameter exploded forth as it wildly struck and devoured     

the barrier which was imbued with the profound energy from hundreds of     

thousands of profound practitioners.    

The barrier was like an air     

balloon being pressed down by a gigantic force and was displaying a     

shocking distortion under the black vortex. However, due to the     

agglomerated energy within, it stubbornly remained unharmed.    

“You bunch of detestable trash!”    

The     

dark strike which he unleashed with his full power still ended up being     

blocked. Xuanyuan Wentian roared as he was shrouded by the dark aura.     

Like a hurricane, he smashed towards the barrier with both hands,     

bringing about terrifying explosive roars.    

Traces of cracks spread on the barrier, however, they would heal speedily, albeit with difficulty.    

“This     

sovereign shall see how long you bunch of trash can hold on!!” As     

Xuanyuan Wentian’s attacks continued, his heart grew even more enraged     

and irritated, dark profound energy was being smashed out like crazy.    

The     

profound energy of the Illusory Demon profound practitioners were being     

expended quickly, however, as they continued to hold on, their     

confidence was constantly rising as well, allowing them to unleash     

endless energy from their bodies which were being heavily suppressed by     

the darkness, as they resisted the almighty Xuanyuan Wentian with brute     

force.    

The strength of the Illusory Demon profound practitioners     

was quickly diminishing and they had long since lost their calm, while     

the strength Xuanyuan Wentian, who was anxiously smashing onto the     

barrier, was similarly diminishing quickly as well. As the power of his     

devil blood awakened even more, the calmness in his personality would     

continue to diminish, converting into its opposite—irritation.    

The     

sky had already completely darkened and for over fifteen minutes,     

Xuanyuan Wentian had consecutively thrown out millions of smashes. The     

energy exuded outwards had turned the surrounding area of fifty     

kilometers into nothingness, yet he was still unable to break through     

even an inch of the barrier.    

“Patriarch, over half of our profound     

strength has already been depleted, if this keeps up… we will lose all     

the energy to hold on!” Yun Waitian said with a painful expression. “Let     

us just call the people from the rest of the domains to provide aid.”    

“That’s     

right… Xuanyuan Wentian has been attacking our side the entire time and     

basically does not carry any trace of wanting to attack anywhere else,”     

Greatest Ambition Under Heaven followed up.    

“We can’t!!” Yun     

Qinghong however shook his head decisively. “Don’t forget, Xuanyuan     

Wentian is someone who is even more cunning and treacherous than Duke     

Ming! With his realm of cultivation, he will be able to see through the     

intricacies of the Great City Barrier Formation with a glance. If we     

mobilize the power from the rest of the domains, there’s an extremely     

high possibility that he will switch to that domain… Once an opening is     

opened, all of our earlier efforts will be wasted!”    

After saying     

that, Yun Qinghong roared out with a raised head, his voice instantly     

transferred to every corner of Demon Imperial City. “All of you, do not     

move. We can hold on!”    

Though they had only held on for a short     

fifteen minutes, to them, the consumption of their profound strength was     

far more intense than having undergone a battle of life and death. Yun     

Qinghong’s breathing had turned coarse and at the same time; he could     

feel Xuanyuan Wentian’s attacks were constantly weakening at a slow     

rate.    

At this moment, the dark smashes that could shake the skies     

suddenly stopped. Xuanyuan Wentian had stopped his actions. Before the     

Illusory Demon profound practitioners could take this opportunity to     

catch their breaths, a sinister smile suddenly rose at the corners of     

his mouth. A black glow flashed in his hand and he then grasped the     

pitch-black Eternal Night Devil Sword.    

And at the same time, an     

aura that was far more sinister than before suddenly enveloped downward,     

causing everyone to feel a stifling sensation in their chests, making     

it hard to breathe.    

“It’s that Heavenly Sin Divine Sword… Watch     

out!!” Xiao Yun roared out in shock. Three months ago, in the Snow     

Region of Extreme Ice, it was this exact sword Xuanyuan Wentian used to     

reverse the tide against the Little Demon Empress.    

“A bunch of     

trash actually forced this sovereign to use the devil sword, this sure     

is a humiliation!” Xuanyuan Wentian’s laughter was no longer the same as     

his former wild laughter but a sunken one. “It seems, this sovereign     

has no choice but to turn this place… into the cruelest purgatory!!”    

Xuanyuan     

Wentian’s body… Fen Juechen’s body to be more exact, was definitely not     

the true physique of a devil and merely carried an extremely thin     

amount of a Devil God’s bloodline. Similarly, the devil soul in the     

Eternal Night Devil Sword merely had a thin strand as well. Adding that     

the power of the devil blood had yet to fully awaken, the two were     

basically unable to attain perfect compatibility.    

Though the     

darkness profound energy unleashed by the devil blood could expand to     

its limits by using the Eternal Night Devil Sword, at the same time, it     

would increase the rate of consumption. Furthermore, it would cause him     

to endure immense pain for the next several days. That was why, unless     

it was the last resort, he would not make use of the the devil sword’s     

power.    

He came to the Illusory Demon Realm on this day in order     

to, one, seize the Mirror of Samsara and two, kill the Little Demon     

Empress. However, he never expected that he would have to make use of     

the Eternal Night Devil Sword.    

To him, this was indeed a great humiliation!    

“All of you, die!!”    

The     

Eternal Night Devil Sword, engulfed in a black aura, struck down amidst     

Xuanyuan Wentian’s roar, along with an indescribable ice-cold pressure     

which descended mercilessly from the skies above.    

Crack!!!!    

The     

barrier that had lasted long against Xuanyuan Wentian’s darkness     

profound energy emitted an ear-piercing screech under this sword strike     

and a crack of several meters in length instantly extended on the     

surface of the barrier. Wisps of dark profound energy seeped through the     

crack, bringing sinister winds which felt like they had originated from     

hell into Demon Imperial City.    

“UUAAAAHH——”    

Though it was     

merely an extremely frail amount of dark profound energy, it was still     

undoubtedly a terrifying nightmarish power to those Illusory Demon     

profound practitioners with weaker cultivations. Several thousand     

profound practitioners instantly tumbled over and their bodies felt as     

though they were falling into a cave of ice as they huddled their bodies     

in pain. They were unable to release even the least bit of energy.    

The     

crack on the barrier was still expanding and even more darkness     

profound energy were seeping through. If it continued to expand, the     

barrier would definitely collapse.    

“Father, what… what do we do?”     

Xiao Yun asked with trembling lips. He was releasing the Purple Cloud     

Art through both of his hands with all his might and leaning closely     

behind his back, was Number Seven Under Heaven, who had been his source     

of reliance and faith, like how he was to her.    

Under the Eternal     

Night Devil Sword, the pressure on the Illusory Demon profound     

practitioners rose steeply. Yun Qinghong’s expression was calm as he     

watched the quickly spreading crack in the sky above. His hand gesture     

quickly changed and his body began to flash with lightning sparks. Even     

his pair of eyes had turned amethyst purple in color.    

“Purple Cloud Domain!!”    

An     

enormous lightning domain expanded, paving onto the barrier. This     

action of his was immediately followed up by a coordinated movement of     

all the Yun Family elders and Yun Family disciples above the Emperor     

Profound Realm as they released the profound energy in their bodies to     

their absolute limits and expanded several thousand Purple Cloud     

Domains. They overlapped and turned into an incomparably immense sea of     

purple clouds, enveloping the barrier.    

The eyes of Greatest Ambition Under Heaven flashed, roaring out, “Castle of Elves!!”    

The     

rumbling sea of purple clouds had also ignited the heavily suppressed     

resolve of the elven clan, as all of them expanded out their Elven     

Domains, pouring another mass of immense domain energy onto the barrier…     

Instantly, the crack on the barrier stopped spreading and then, it     

began to heal at a slow pace.    

However, before they could even     

celebrate, an incomparably terrifying black radiance had exploded forth     

from Xuanyuan Wentian’s body. A pair of ferocious eyes opened sharply     

from the Eternal Night Devil Sword, as the pitch-black blade wildly     

smashed towards the barrier that protected the city.    

Boom boom boom boom boom boom...    

Under     

the terrifying power of the Eternal Night Devil Sword, the defenses     

molded by the domain power of the two great Guardian Families were     

collapsing layer by layer. Streaks of cracks wildly blasted open on the     

barrier and in the blink of an eye, the barrier which was initially in a     

seemingly perfect condition, was filled with spiderweb-like cracks. Its     

restoration speed was far from its speed of collapse.    

“This… This     

is bad!” The faces of the Illusory Demon practitioners turned     

incomparably pale. Deep fear and despair emerged coldly on their faces.    

“Not     

good… We can’t… We can’t hold on any longer!” Greatest Ambition Under     

Heaven had both of his arms facing the sky, desperately squeezing out     

all of the energy in his body as he roared out his unwillingness.    

Yun     

Qinghong’s expression turned incomparably cold. He slightly gnashed his     

teeth and his fists were tightly clenched. When a streak of cracks     

suddenly stretched all the way to the part of the barrier where he was     

facing, the light in his eyes instantly turned determined. Suddenly, he     

retracted the Purple Cloud Domain and charged out of the barrier.    

However,     

just as he was about to move, his arm was already tightly grasped by a     

hand. When he turned around, he saw Mu Yurou’s face which carried a     

teary smile and she lightly said, “Husband, are you really willing to     

leave me behind… If you’re going, we husband and wife should be going     

together.”    

Yun Qinghong’s eyes instantly turned misty and then, he     

gave a slight smile as he held tightly onto Mu Yurou’s hand. They     

raised their heads together and looked towards the sky above, their     

expressions turned bone-piercing cold at the same time. Then, they flew     

up arm-in-arm and charged straight towards Xuanyuan Wentian.    

“Father…     

Mother!! You two…” Xiao Yun was stunned for a short moment and then he     

understood their intentions right after. With a frightful roar, he     

desperately pounced towards the two of them. However, how could he     

possibly catch up to Yun Qinghong and his wife with his speed?    

“Patriarch, allow us!!”    

Just     

as Yun Qinghong and Mu Yurou were about to charge out of the barrier,     

an elderly roar resounded. An immense, formless energy assaulted them     

from behind, ruthlessly pushing them back. At the same time, three     

elderly figures, with purple light enveloping their entire bodies, flew     

out of the barrier and charged straight towards Xuanyuan Wentian.    

“Gra…     

Grand Elders!!” Yun Qinghong was hurled back into the city. Seeing the     

three figures who flew out, his pupils intensely shrank, as he let out a     

loud blood-weeping roar.    

The three of them, were actually the only three surviving Grand Elders of the Yun Family—Yun He, Yun Xi and Yun Jiang.    

“Patriarch, you must properly live on. As long as you’re still alive, the Yun Family will never fall!”    

“Old Patriarch, we’re coming to accompany you now!!”    

Their     

voices were vigorous and they even carried intents of joy. The profound     

light on their bodies had already been unleashed to the absolute limits     

and like three purple bolts of lightning, they smashed onto Xuanyuan     

Wentian’s body.    

Caught off guard, Xuanyuan Wentian fiercely     

staggered from the full power attack of the three Yun Family Grand     

Elders; even the black aura on his body had slightly scattered. He     

fiercely raised his eyes, the irritation that he had been holding in his     

stomach had finally found something to vent on. With the Eternal Night     

Devil Sword, a pitch-black arc was sliced out.    

They were powerful     

level six Monarchs whom people looked up to, however, the moment they     

made contact with Xuanyuan Wentian’s dark sword light, their protective     

profound auras were instantly torn apart like blisters. Like countless     

ice-cold claws, the dark profound energy brutally rushed into their     

bodies.    

“Die… You three undead farts!!!”    

Xuanyuan Wentian’s     

devil sword once again smashed out, completely engulfing the three Grand     

Elders in abysmal darkness. Then, with a dull explosive sound, they     

turned into three masses of black powder.    

The pause in Xuanyuan     

Wentian’s attacks had allowed the jeopardizing cracks on the barrier to     

quickly heal. In the instant the three Grand Elders fell, all of the     

cracks had completely disappeared and the barrier which protected the     

city was once again restored to perfect condition.
