Chapter 898: The Demon Beasts Break the Wall, Both Sides Facing Each Other
Editor: Henyee Translations
THUD! THUD! THUD!
Saint Pingnan, shaped like a colossal bull-headed mountain, ceaselessly collided against the realm wall.
Each strike from a Dao Fusion powerhouse possessed the force to shatter stars, causing the Floodgate Realm’s barrier to tremble like a drumskin, continuously emitting vibrations.
“MOO—!”
Saint Pingnan’s eyes blazed with fury, his roar echoing throughout the Tianyao realm, resembling a wild bull wrestling with the heavens and earth.
Even the people on the other side of the Floodgate Realm felt the trembling aura in the air.
“Lion’s flame, ignite!”
Beside Saint Pingnan, Saint Inferno let out a lion’s roar, his body suddenly turning crystalline.
Within him burned a bizarre golden flame, like a colossal crystalline lantern lighting up a mountain.
This was the innate divine fire of the Flame Lion clan, the cultivation of their entire lives dedicated to nurturing this divine flame.
This fire, imbued with the power of rules, could incinerate everything, even the rules of the world!
Under Saint Inferno’s command, the divine fire slowly emerged from his body.
In an instant, the whole world heated up considerably, the air’s Primordial Spiritual Qi turning violent.
Several demon beast generals who failed to dodge in time brushed against a spark and were instantly turned to charcoal.
“Go forth, divine fire, burn the world!”
The golden divine flame transformed into an arrow, shooting towards the realm barrier.
Immediately, a sizzling sound arose, and the part of the barrier in contact with the divine fire began to slowly distort, clearly being corroded.
This attack was evidently more effective than Saint Pingnan’s brute force, as the wound created by the divine flame was significantly larger.
Saint Inferno confidently sneered, exceedingly proud.
“Pingnan, let me lend you a hand!”
Saint Titan Peak, who had a good relationship with Saint Pingnan, shouted.
He opened his massive bear mouth, and a speck of golden light flew out from within him.
“Mountain core, charge!”
This speck of golden light was the Mountain Core, a life essence object that could only be refined by the Mountain Movers.
The Mountain Movers naturally had the ability to assimilate mountains, extracting their cores for cultivation, hence called the Mountain Core.
Though small, the Mountain Core was immensely heavy, weighing billions of tons.
Even a treasure like this, capable of suppressing even Saint Pingnan, could only be maneuvered by Mountain Movers.
Seeing the Mountain Core flying towards him, Saint Pingnan had no choice but to sidestep.
Rumble!
The golden light fiercely struck the indentations previously made by Saint Pingnan, resulting in a loud explosion followed by a piercing, metallic clash.
The power behind Saint Titan Peak’s strike was truly terrifying, creating a crack in the realm barrier on impact.
“Excellent! Well done!”
From a distance, Saint Inferno praised enthusiastically, as the other Demon Beast Saints nodded in agreement, with only Saint Inferno letting out a cold huff.
“Ha-ha-ha! Continue! Pingnan, find another spot to breach; I’ll assist you! We’ll share the reward!” Saint Titan Peak laughed heartily.
Saint Pingnan nodded, and the two decided to cooperate.
“We’re almost there, the cultivators of the Floodgate Realm.”
At this moment, Saint Sky Bearer spoke to Saint Inferno.
“No worries, I’ll handle them. You all continue breaking the barrier!”
Saint Rosy Cloud replied coolly, twisting her massive serpentine body.
She and Saint Sky Bearer were not part of the barrier-breaking effort.
Saint Sky Bearer was rewarded in advance as the vanguard, while Saint Rosy Cloud was tasked with covering for others as they worked to breach the barrier.
The realm barrier doesn’t block spells, so as soon as people from the Floodgate Realm arrive, a battle will inevitably break out beforehand.
“Serpent’s Fang, go!”
Saint Rosy Cloud extracted a snake fang from her mouth, carved with ancient runes.
“Is that, the Barrier-Breaking Fang!”
Saint Sky Bearer exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the fang.
“Exactly, go!”
With a flick of her massive tail, Saint Rosy Cloud sent the Serpent’s Fang flying.
The fang, which should have been repelled, instead merged into the barrier like a barb sinking deep.
Then, the runes on the Serpent’s Fang shimmered, and a force of rules invaded the entire barrier.
Using the Serpent’s Fang as an anchor, the barrier was slowly covered in a layer of thin ice, significantly increasing the damage from the other Demon Saints’ attacks.
“This is indeed an effective spiritual treasure specifically for breaking barriers,” Saint Sky Bearer remarked.
This showcased the deep heritage of the Tianyao Realm’s oldest clan.
The Serpent’s Fang, a legendary spiritual treasure designed exclusively for breaching realms, had no other use but to weaken the defense of barriers by at least fifty percent.
Unexpectedly, even such a treasure was in the possession of the Sky-Swallowing Python clan.
Rumble!
At this moment, the sound of the barrier shaking finally reached the interior of the Floodgate Realm.
With three Dao Fusion Demon Saints continuously bombarding the barrier, assisted by the Serpent’s Fang, the cracks on the barrier became increasingly visible over time.
At this rate, the Floodgate Realm’s barrier would inevitably be breached within three hours, allowing the demon beasts to invade en masse, leading to an unavoidable full-scale war.
“How bold of the demon beasts, to think the Floodgate Realm is undefended?”
Suddenly, a rebuke came from the other side of the barrier.
Then, a large group of cultivators flew out from the distant skyline, surrounded by various mystical lights, creating an awe-inspiring sight.
Leading them were Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
Facing the terrifying onslaught of Demon Saints continuously attacking the barrier, everyone was filled with righteous indignation.
Jiang Chengxuan’s figure swiftly approached, with the dense demonic aura gradually dispersing behind the barrier.
The figures of the Demon Saints appeared before Jiang Chengxuan.
Yet, he showed no fear.
Uttering a spell, he turned the True Sunfire into flaming projectiles, instantly passing through the barrier towards the demon beasts.
Rumble!
A whirlwind of demonic energy suddenly rose, as Saint Sky Bearer displayed his divine powers, clashing with the incoming forces and creating an instantaneous explosion.
“Heh, someone from the Floodgate Realm… A person from the Haoran Sect?”
Through the billowing black smoke, a Demon Saint identified Jiang Chengxuan’s identity.
The crowd looked on to see a colossal Sky-Swallowing Python slowly advancing, fixating its gaze upon them.
“The Sky-Swallowing Python clan!”
Leng Yuehua and the others recognized the identity of Saint Rosy Cloud.
Though the demon beast and human realms were separated by the realm barrier, being neighbors for countless millennia meant that both sides had a basic understanding of each other’s significant forces.
“Demon beasts, attacking our Floodgate Realm’s barrier without cause, do you find this reasonable?”
Jiang Chengxuan demanded, challenging their actions.
While everyone implicitly understood that a great battle was inevitable, the moral high ground could not be conceded.
“We demon beasts have long sent messages to your kind. Your attempts to monopolize the new world is tantamount to declaring enmity against our demon beasts!” Saint Rosy Cloud countered coldly to the questioning.
“What a joke! The new world was discovered by the Floodgate Realm, where does the accusation of monopolization come from? Is the demon beast race always this despicable and shameless?”
Jiang Chengxuan retorted with a cold laugh.
His mockery made countless demon beasts beyond the barrier glare with malevolent intent.
“Heaven-sent treasures belong to those with virtue. If the Floodgate Realm refuses to yield, let’s see if you have the strength to back it up,” Saint Rosy Cloud declared, choosing no longer to waste words.
With a massive opening of her serpentine maw, a torrent of violent demonic power immediately passed through the barrier, hurtling towards them!
