Chapter 830: The Seventh Art of the God of Death (III)
Once they had lost most of their powerhouses, how would the Southeastern Fort and Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass supposed to defend against the two armies without any reinforcements?
It was even possible to say that Samigina was not in the wrong. While he did act selfishly, as long as he could penetrate the Southeastern Fort in a single stroke, none of it mattered anymore to the overall battle strategy.
Whether it was the Demon God Emperor or the Demon God of Death, their greatest mistake was assuming the humans had the same strength as before. They had missed the true hidden power of the humans, nor did they understand that the Eternal Heroes had emerged. From a ceratin perspective, this was not even a mistake. After all, were there anyone who could have predicted this? However, because of this, the situation completely changed and the absolute advantage the demons possessed began to disappear.
The humans of the Southeastern Fort celebrated as the demon army rested. This should have been a relatively peaceful night to both sides.
However, the peace was broken.
At a ceratin time, the tower before the Southeastern Fort vanished silently. The demons obviously discovered that, but they did not pay too much attention to it. Cai’er must have returned to the Southeastern Fort to rest after healing.
As night descended, the starlight and moonlight happened to be extremely dim, perhaps due to all the killing earlier. Dark clouds slowly gathered and rain fell. It actually began drizzling.
However, the demons were highly resistant to environmental factors. Even when it rained, the demons sleeping in the wilderness did not wake up. They were just too tired. Even the demon gods all rested. The battle had just ended. Although they were in very low spirits, they had never thought the Southeastern Fort would try do anything.
It grew deeper into the night and the rain fell harder. A Demonic Wolf that happened to be sleeping in a low-lying area woke up after choking on the rain.
“Cough cough…” Climbing up, the bulky Demonic Wolf glanced at the sky bleary-eyed and cursed inside, even the sky is against me, raining tonight.
He looked around and knew there was clearly no chance for him to get a tent, but he had to try to find a higher place, hopefully with a certain amount of overhead coverage to sleep.
The continued fighting made his body ache. Even his leg had a deep wound. The stinging pain when the rain got in it irritated the Demonic Wolf.
Suddenly, the air right before him twisted slightly. Afterwards, he felt a chill in his neck, as if something hot sprayed out from there. All of his power drained from his body immediately.
With a sway, the Demonic Wolf slowly collapsed onto the ground under the support of some force. In the final moment of his life, he vaguely saw a black figure flash past.
Cai’er gently flickered through the air. Her skillful concealment of her aura made her seem like the wind. Wherever she passed by, the demons sleeping outside that were still unconscious would lose their lives. Very soon, she approached the centre of the demon encampment.
Around a dozen demon god pillars stood there in an orderly manner, but they shone with extremely dim light now. Samigina’s demon god pillar was not there. The four Fiend Kings were still fighting over who would inherit the position of the Demon God of Death. In order to prevent anyone from getting in the way, the remaining Fiends all gathered there.
After reaching the centre of the demon encampment, she did not continue any further. Instead, he stopped. She checked the time and hid herself away again, silently waiting for something.
Ten minutes later, Cai’er reappeared once more.
“It’s time,” she murmured to herself. She raised her right hand and pointed in the air. A pure-white light immediately expanded and suddenly fell towards the largest dozen or so tents. It was the Tower of Eternity.
In the moment the Tower of Eternity appeared, the demon god pillars basically lit up at the same time. Clearly, they had discovered Cai’er’s existence. Figures quickly burst out from the tents but what received them was a huge tower.
“Seal!” Cai’er called out and dense, white light immediately erupted from the Tower of Eternity. The resplendent light immediately spread, actually enveloping all of the tents there. Afterwards, the Tower of Eternity also grew to a hundred meters tall and immediately fell down. It actually swallowed the dozen or so figures that had burst out from the tents before landing on the ground.
The tents that the demon gods occupied were surrounded by the demon god pillars. When the Tower of Eternity appeared, it had slipped between the demon god pillars, so it was immediately discovered by the demon gods. However, the demon gods had never thought the Tower of Eternity would not attack them, but instead envelope them.
This was another usage of the Tower of Eternity, suppression.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Rumbles rang out from the tower. Clearly, the demon gods launched furious attacks together in attempt to break out from the tower.
However, this was a divine tool, which made it extraordinarily tough. Coupled with how the power of purification suppressed the darkness element that demons used to a certain extent and that their connection to their demon god pillars had been severed, it would take them quite some time to break out.
Cai’er drifted up slowly and landed on the top of the Tower of Eternity. Wielding the Sickle of the God of Death in her right hand, she produced a series of white slashes in the air. As the same time, she just sat down on top of the tower, merging her Domain of Purification into the Tower of Eternity.
The white light was a signal that represented fifteen minutes. The Tower of Eternity could suppress the demon gods for fifteen minutes.
As the Tower of Eternity shone with the light of purification, figures lit up in various places across the demon encampment.
The Warrior Temple had a total of twenty-one ninth step powerhouses. Combined with the twelve Eternal Heroes, they all appeared across the demon camp and ripped the scrolls in their hands, tossing it at the encampment below.
In the moment before, the demon camp had been extremely peaceful, but a moment later, it had become covered in various colours.
Clusters of light wreaked havoc in the air with elemental magic, snuffing out the lives of the demons.
Everything had happened just too suddenly, so the demons were completely unprepared. The magic scrolls that had been used were at the seventh step at the very least as well and covered a large range. In that moment, the demon camp immediately plummeted into chaos as the terrifying magic erupted and surged with beautiful lights.
The demons were just too exhausted. Even when they were attacked like this, many of the demons were reluctant to wake up. Only when they knew they were covered in magic and suffered intense agony did they rouse from their sleep.
The battle strategy had been decided after a discussion with Long Haochen and the members of the union at the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. The scrolls that the powerhouses used had obviously been accumulated over several thousands of years and they had been put to perfect use. Even when they protected the Southeastern Fort, Qiu Yonghao was reluctant to use them. Finally, they could unleash their greatest might in destroying the enemy camp.
Long Haochen’s plan could be described as consequential. Who would have thought the Southeastern Fort would still have the remaining strength to launch a counterattack after such a tough battle?
In particular, the twelve Eternal Heroes were all domain wielding powerhouses. After using the scrolls, they immediately became a massacre.
The battle prowess of ninth step powerhouses went without saying. Without opponents at the same level as them, it was basically a one-sided slaughter!
In particular, the three ninth step mages all cast a forbidden spell each after using the scrolls. In that moment, the demon camp had become a mountain of corpses.
The most critical component of this battle was Cai’er. She had forcefully sealed up the demon gods. If she had not, the losses the demons would be suffering would definitely be minimised if they reacted immediately and used the power of their demon god pillars. As a matter of fact, it might have even been difficult for these powerhouses of the Southeastern Fort to retreat.
Another positive aspect was that the Fiends were not present in the camp. Although their main force had been annihilated, the remaining Fiends were still powerhouses at the sixth step or higher. Coupled with the four Fiend Kings, if they remained in the camp, they could have fended off the humans’ sneak attack effectively. However, they were too busy fighting over who would inherit the demon god pillars. The conflicting interests of the demons maximize the effect of the humans’ sneak attack.
Of course the Fiends saw what was going on here, but at this moment, were any of the four Fiend Kings’ subordinates willing to give up on the demon god pillar? Of course they turned a blind eye to it and continued their battle.
The magic pulses from the Tower of Eternity grew stronger and stronger. Cai’er had not recovered before and she found it more and more difficult to last longer. However, she knew that with each second longer, the losses the demons suffered would grow larger.
Cai’er became more and more familiar with the usage of the Domain of Purification. She did not have to worry about running out of power of purification on the battlefield. Demons died in large amounts and a tremendous aura of death would obviously appeared. Under the Domain of Purification, the aura of death would gradually become a part of the power of purification. Cai’er relied on thier boost to maintain the seal, or she probably could not have even lasted a minute.
After all, this was the simultaneous attacks from over ten demon gods!
Over thirty ninth step powerhouses doing all they could to massacre the demons. Some of them even just destroyed the provisions of the demons, making it even worse for them despite already lacking resources.
