Chapter 746
The Secret Art of Time
"This is a secret technique passed down by the Heavenly Court. It is of no use to true demon lords, but it can help maintain a certain level of strength if the target is a powerful expert who has cut off his own sword and dropped in cultivation level."
"Throughout these countless years, they have lay in the grave with my husband, awaiting this day."
"Moreover, they did not come from one era. People from different eras were buried in that cemetery long ago, but they have all been awakened now."
"I see……"
Jiang Shu nodded to himself, glanced at the people beside him, and said without further hesitation, "Then let's set off and break through the defenses of the demon imperial palace as soon as possible, then we can talk about it later."
"Please come with me."
In the late stage of the Demon Lord realm, the Flood Dragon Mo Xuan let out a low roar and led a large group of powerful figures towards the depths of the void.
In a short while, the void barrier surrounded by nine dragons and the enormous imperial palace appeared before everyone.
“As expected!”
On the imperial palace, Ao Qing coldly watched this scene and said in a stern voice, "Those humans actually still ally with the remnants of the Heavenly Court. They really don't know what they're getting themselves into."
"It's nothing more than a desperate resistance."
“Even with the Demon Lord taking action, it’s futile for them to leave.”
"Why not bury these remnants of the Heavenly Court here as well?"
He raised his hand, and the enormous jade disc suddenly shone brightly, sending out streams of light that blocked the path of the many human venerables.
"You want to seal off the void? Dream on!"
Mo Xuan chuckled softly, and with a thought, dozens of Heavenly Court experts present obeyed his command and flew over. In an instant, a great formation was completed.
That grand and boundless formation was naturally the Zhou Tian Star Formation that had appeared before.
However, at this moment, the formation is much more complete than before, reaching about 30% to 40%.
Don't underestimate it.
It should be known that the complete Zhou Tian Star Array can cover the entire Demon Realm, making it a truly unprecedented array.
The current grand formation was naturally incapable of accomplishing all of this, yet countless starlight streamed down from the sky, chasing after the Nine Dragon Jade Wall like meteorites.
Rumble!
Countless rays of light exploded in the air, shaking the heavens and the earth, and stars fell like rain.
At this moment, with the accumulated foundation of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, the power unleashed by this half-finished formation is extraordinary. Even a powerhouse in the late stage of the Chaos Realm must treat it with caution.
As expected, ripples spread across the Nine Dragon Jade Wall, and even the Demon Clan Imperial Palace trembled slightly.
Back then, the Demon Clan Imperial Palace was just a fleeting shadow, yet it was able to suppress the Burning Heaven Ancestor.
One reason is that the Burning Heaven Ancestor had not yet reached his peak, achieved ultimate sublimation, and grown to a level comparable to the Dao Lord.
Secondly, because the previous imperial palace was properly occupied by the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord.
Even if this Phoenix Lord were to shut herself off and never make a move, her weight over all things in the world would still be enough to exaggerate the power of the Imperial Palace to a certain extent.
"You think you can shake the Imperial Palace?"
The female demon lord, clad in a five-colored robe, sneered, and a vast aura emanated from her body, flowing throughout the entire imperial palace.
Upon witnessing this scene, all the demon lords present trembled in fear.
Because that aura was none other than that of the Five Virtues Phoenix.
However, the aura of this Five Virtues Phoenix was much weaker than that of the Five Virtues Phoenix Master.
The next moment, the demon lord, draped in a five-colored robe, swayed and withdrew from his human form, transforming into a proud and flamboyant phoenix embodying the Five Virtues.
That's right!
The Phoenix of Five Virtues!
He and the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord belong to one of the highest bloodlines of the Phoenix Clan.
Ao Qing's expression tightened slightly, completely unexpected that the Phoenix Clan had such a prodigy hidden away.
"It turns out she's also a Five Virtues Phoenix. Before this, I always thought she was just a peacock."
The Peacock Clan branched off from the Phoenix Clan. Unlike the Five Virtues, they control the Five Elements Dao.
A phoenix possessing the Five Virtues has the opportunity to ascend to the position of Demon Lord.
Although the Five Virtues Phoenix is not like the Ancestral Dragon bloodline, which can resist the erosion of the Heavenly Dao, there is no doubt that every Five Virtues Phoenix is a person of exceptional talent.
Upon seeing this, the Demon Lord Fengyuan revealed a smug look.
"Our dragon and phoenix clans are equally renowned. Your dragon clan has the Golden Horn, do you think that my phoenix clan has no younger generation capable of matching him?"
At that very moment, as the Five Virtues Phoenix appeared, the power left behind by the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord in the Imperial Palace began to gradually reveal itself.
A vast expanse of rosy light shot into the sky, radiating the power of the five virtues, including sainthood, as if something had been drawn towards it.
At that very moment, the combined forces of the human race and the Heavenly Court's demon race vaguely sensed that something was amiss.
"This is……"
Jiang Shu suddenly raised his head.
He vaguely sensed that something in the sky seemed to be drawn in.
boom!
In that instant, the void twisted, and countless dark baleful energies suddenly erupted from the empty space.
Those malevolent energies were formed by the inverted and condensed power of the Five Virtues. As soon as they appeared, they manifested in all things.
"The Path of Calamity!"
Taiwu Daozun suddenly spoke, a look of surprise on his face.
Hearing him say this, all the Dao Venerables present understood what kind of method this was.
The Three Thousand Great Daos are all different, and the Great Dao of Calamity is one of them.
This path is one where cultivators experience calamities, endure disasters, and control calamities. It is one of the most dangerous and difficult paths among the many paths, and only those with great fortune and luck can walk it.
On the path of spiritual cultivation, a slight misstep can lead to death and the dissipation of one's spiritual power, resulting in demise due to various calamities.
Without a doubt, the Five Virtues Phoenix is one of the most auspicious creatures in the world, and it would naturally be a perfect match for those who cultivate the path of calamity.
At this moment, the power left behind by the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord was turned from blessing into disaster, and many powerful figures had vague bad thoughts in their hearts.
Rumble!
At that very moment, a series of thunderous booms resounded in the desolate void.
One after another, bright silver lightning bolts fell from the sky, instantly heading straight for the allied forces of the human race and the Heavenly Court Demon Lord.
A bolt of lightning, as fierce as thunder, struck directly onto the Zhou Tian Star Array!
Wherever it passed, the great formation began to hum, as if it had been damaged.
Countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky, sweeping across the battlefield. Yet, the demon imperial palace remained untouched, as if this were not their calamity.
The Five Virtues Phoenix shook itself and transformed back into human form, its phoenix eyes slightly raised before slowly shaking its head.
"It's a pity that my father left behind too much power, and I can only do this much now."
Hearing her speak calmly, the other demon lords trembled slightly, filled with shock.
Without a doubt, to achieve this, even with the power left behind by the Demon Lord, is truly remarkable.
At this moment, the thousands of tribulation lightning bolts had transformed into a thunder beast thousands of feet tall, resembling a towering mountain.
The thunder beast galloped forward on all fours, crashing into the human race's venerable one and the Zhou Tian Star Array.
At this moment, Mo Xuan from the Heavenly Court immediately spoke up.
"Aren't you going to make a move yet? The Heavenly Court has already used the Zhou Tian Star Formation. Do you humans really intend to just watch?"
Upon hearing these words, the many powerful human beings present exchanged glances, and in the next moment, the sect leader of the Hidden Sword Sect stepped forward with his sword.
He raised his hand and grabbed, opening up the chaotic space. Suddenly, everything around him fell silent, and even the thousands of tribulation lightning bolts seemed to be silenced.
In an instant, an ancient sword broke free from that space and fell into the palm of the Hidden Sword Sect Master.
At that very moment, just as the thunder beast was about to crash into the Heavenly Star Array, a sword light suddenly flew out from the palm of the Hidden Sword Sect Master!
Like a beam of light from a celestial being, it pierced through the thousand-foot-tall thunder beast!
That thunder beast was formed from the power of calamity, and its hide was thick and tough. However, it was cleaved in two by this sword!
At that moment, countless bolts of lightning exploded instantly, gushing out like blood, plunging that void into chaos.
Whoosh!
At that very moment, the leader of the Hidden Sword Sect struck again, unleashing an imposing aura from his ancient sword, and then slashed at the barrier formed by the Demon Clan Imperial Palace and the Nine Dragon Jade Wall.
In that instant, the incredibly tough defense was easily sliced open like tofu by this sword, leaving a long gash.
Countless sword energies rushed into it.
Upon witnessing this scene, the demon lord guarding the fortress was utterly horrified.
What's this! ?
Could this be the Dao Lord's method brought by the human race?
The sword light was so powerful that even the giant beast formed from the power of the heavenly tribulation was cut in two by a single blow, utterly powerless to resist!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
In the void, the sword light split into endless turbulent currents.
The next moment, countless sword lights burst forth from the ancient sword in the hand of the Hidden Sword Sect Master, just like shooting fireworks. The sword lights scattered in all directions, easily breaking through the layers of barriers!
The sword soars through the void!
At that moment, countless sword energies reconvened, roaring forward and penetrating deep into the void, cleaving open a path through nothingness.
Upon witnessing this scene, the demon lords who had previously used various methods were dumbfounded, some even staring in disbelief.
At this moment, the sect leader of the Hidden Sword Sect looked pale and rather powerless.
This attack consumed too much power, even though most of it was provided by the ancient sword, it almost exhausted this late-stage Chaos Realm expert.
However, the eyes of this supreme leader were brighter than ever before.
At this moment, not only the demon race, but even the human race was dumbfounded and horrified.
"As expected of the Hidden Sword Sect, this sword strike annihilates all laws. Now it is our chance!"
Taiwu Daozun praised him.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately came to their senses.
Now, the so-called power of heavenly tribulation and that barrier have been pierced through by the Hidden Sword Sect Master's sword.
Without a doubt, this is their best chance.
In an instant, the human powerhouses and the Heavenly Court powerhouses almost joined forces to step into the barrier, directly attacking the wall formed by the Nine Dragon Jade Wall and the Demon Clan Imperial Palace.
In any case, they must first temporarily break down this layer of protection to connect the inside and outside.
Upon seeing this, Ao Qing immediately roared, turned to look at the powerful figures beside him, including the Desolate Cliff Demon Lord and the Poisonous Witch Demon Lord, and said:
"We must all work together to stop them. We absolutely cannot let them ruin our ancestor's grand plan."
“Those guys in the Heavenly Court won’t last long. Their energy and spirit will soon be completely depleted, and we’ll have to use the methods we’ve prepared for them.”
All the powerful demon lords present immediately nodded in agreement.
The Heavenly Court has powerful figures slumbering within these ruins; they are naturally aware of this and have long been prepared. However, prior to this, due to the protection of the opposing Demon Lord, they have refrained from making any moves.
However, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor is now entangled with the powerful figures of the Dragon and Phoenix clans.
Upon hearing this, the demon lord who had preserved these methods immediately nodded.
"it is good."
As soon as he finished speaking, the demon lord strode forward, raised his hand, and plunged it directly into his own chest.
puff!
Flesh and blood exploded instantly, and the demon lord's face became more distorted and terrifying than ever before, yet he still forced his way out.
In a short while, he took out a silver longsword from his body.
This knife is stained with eerie blood, as if it has been using the body of this demon lord to nourish itself.
As soon as this silvery-white longsword appeared, the many powerful figures around him all moved away from the demon lord, as if they were afraid of getting involved with him.
hum!
The mercury-infused longsword trembled slightly, and an aura of time rippled outwards.
The Great Way of Time!
This item was personally forged by a demon lord and can utilize light and shadow effects to a certain extent. Now, it is about to truly demonstrate its power.
In the next instant, the aura of time rippled outwards, then directly pointed to the distant Heavenly Court powerhouses who had slept for countless years, traversing the vast expanse of time from ancient times.
"Countless years have passed. You've survived until now; it's time for you to die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the demon lord gripped his sword with both hands and then slashed at the many powerful figures of the Heavenly Court.
Amidst the vast expanse, a phantom image resembling a long river appeared in the sky.
That is the river of time!
Time surged wildly within it, its vast aura spreading outwards, immediately rushing towards the powerful figures of the Heavenly Court.
Above the void, the Zhou Tian Star Array is reforming and is surging forward, forcefully breaking through the barrier defenses.
At that moment, a blade carrying the weight of time suddenly fell from afar, piercing through the great formation as if it were nothing.
Upon sensing this aura of time, the expressions of Mo Xuan and other late-stage demon lords who were in charge of the grand formation here all changed drastically.
They felt extremely threatened!
"not good."
Without the slightest hesitation, those late-stage Demon Lord powerhouses, such as Mo Xuan and Kui Niu, displayed their various Daos of enlightenment with terrified expressions.
The ethereal aura of the Great Dao spread out, forming layers of barriers to block this strike. (End of Chapter)
