Seven days had passed. It was the full night of the fifteenth month. The entire Heavenly Peak City was exceptionally cold. Especially the eastern city. Before winter arrived, a layer of frost had actually condensed on the ground.

More than a month had passed since True Monarch Xuanxiao’s attack, but the cultivators in the city still felt uneasy, as if everything was still yesterday.

Tonight, the bright moon was thousands of miles away, but it illuminated the entire city to an exceptionally cold degree. On the two mountain peaks near Celestial Pogoda, one could see a figure standing on each of those mountain peaks. It was precisely True Monarch Zi Yu and True Monarch Wei Lan.

If True Monarch Xuanxiao and Gui Yunshan really attacked now, perhaps only the two of them, together with Murong Xi, Qin Tianzong, and other experts from other forces in the city, would be able to temporarily defend against them for a while.

The night breeze blew, and both of them frowned. Recently, the entire Eastern Region had been in turmoil, and many sects and powers had been annihilated by True Monarch Xuanxiao …

Another reason that worried them was that Gui Yunshan had disappeared for many years, but this time, it suddenly appeared. This was also most likely unusual.

It was very likely that this person was already from the Eight Desolate Dao. If the Eight Desolate Dao was also involved this time, then the whole matter would probably become very troublesome.

At this moment, there were still quite a few disciples guarding the tower in Celestial Pogoda. It was already the seventh day since Xiao Chen ascended to the eighty-first floor, but there was still no movement from above.

Qing Mu and the other elders also furrowed their brows. No one knew what was on the eighty-first floor. They had only heard people say that the eighty-first floor was an enormous Illusory Sky Profound Realm.

It was like a small world, filled with spiritual energy. After cultivating for a day, it was comparable to a year outside. There were even countless ancient texts that had been lost ten thousand years ago …

Of course, these were only rumors. As for whether it was really as the rumors said, no one knew. Because even more than 600 years ago, Senior Yiye Qing had ascended to the eighty-first floor and was unable to walk through the entire Illusory Heaven Profound Realm in the end.

It was simply too vast, almost boundless. There were extremely terrifying restrictions in many places. Even Senior Yiye Qing didn’t dare to attempt them so easily back then.

Even today, there were still quite a few people guarding Celestial Pogoda’s side. At this moment, in a small courtyard, candles were flickering in the room, and two figures were reflected on the thin screen.

Hua Weiyang had already woken up just now. That day, she fainted because her mood fluctuations were too great, causing the Profound Yin Qi in her body to backlash.

When she heard Shen Jing say that Xiao Chen had already reached the eighty-first floor, she finally felt relieved. During the past few days when she was unconscious, she felt uneasy even in her sleep. She always dreamed of some terrifying dreams, as if they were illusory and as if they were real.

“Tonight … why is it so cold?”

The chill from outside continued to seep into the room. Even the candle flames in the room seemed to be about to go out, and it seemed to be somewhat abnormal.

“Perhaps it’s just winter. It’s already snowing in many places. Many years ago, I stayed in Immortal North Ancient Realm for a period of time. The winter here came earlier, and it’s colder than in the Southern Domain of Xianyuan,” Shen Jing said.

“No … no, this chill …”

Hua Weiyang knitted her eyebrows. She was a Profound Yin Body, and she was more sensitive to cold Yin Qi than anyone else. Tonight, this chill was definitely not winter’s chill.

“Shen Jing, how long have I been unconscious? What happened at the beginning of today?”

Seeing her strange appearance, Shen Jing said, “Today is the fifteenth of October. You have been unconscious for seven days.”

“October 15th … Yin Year, Yin Moon, Yin Day …”

Hua Weiyang’s eyebrows furrowed even deeper, and she was constantly calculating something. Shen Jing saw that her expression was becoming more and more strange, so she asked with a frown, “What’s wrong?”

“Damn it … Today is Extreme Yin Day, tonight is … the night of the lunar eclipse.”

At this moment, Hua Weiyang’s face turned pale again. Seeing that she did not seem to be joking, Shen Jing asked, “What Extreme Yin Day, what Eclipse Night? Wei Yang … what are you talking about?”

“Quick! Go tell Four Daoists … Tonight is Extreme Yin Night. True Monarch Xuanxiao will borrow this Extreme Yin Qi to completely merge with the Blood Demon!”

Hua Weiyang’s face immediately turned pale, and Shen Jing finally understood. When True Monarch Xuanxiao left that day, she once said, “The night of the blood moon, this city will definitely flow with blood.” Could the night of the blood moon be …

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside. It was as if something had happened. Hua Weiyang’s expression froze and he immediately put on his clothes and stood up. With a “creak”, the door opened from outside. Then, he saw Zi Yuan hurrying in.

“Zi Yuan, what happened outside?”

“Palace Master … are you alright?”

“I’m fine. What’s going on outside?”

Hua Weiyang immediately walked out. The moment she walked out, the sky was originally flawless with Moon, but at the edge of the moon, it slowly turned red, as if it was stained with blood.

“Holy shit … the lunar eclipse has begun!”

Hua Weiyang’s expression changed and he immediately went outside. Zi Yuan was shocked, “Palace Master!” As soon as he finished speaking, he also chased after her.

At this moment, it was already in chaos outside. The moon on the sky gradually turned red as if it was stained with blood, slowly shrouding the entire Heavenly Peak City with a layer of bloody light.

In the midst of everyone’s panic, countless magical creatures suddenly appeared in the dark corners of the shadows. These magical creatures came from unknown sources, as if they were climbing up from underground. Anyone who saw a living person would pounce on them, causing panic in the entire city.

“What … what are those!”

“Be careful … it’s a demon!”

“Ah …”

“Senior Brother … save me … ah!”

“Run!”

The entire Heavenly Peak City was instantly thrown into chaos. Especially in Dongcheng City, devils could be seen everywhere. Some of them were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they could be possessed by humans. Every time they devoured a person’s soul essence, the power of these devils would be much stronger.

“These … are Night Demons!”

On the two mountain peaks near Celestial Pogoda, True Monarch Zi Yu and True Monarch Wei Lan’s expressions also changed. With a swipe of their fingers, the flying swords immediately transformed into thousands of strands of sword qi and flew out, slashing the Night Demons under their swords.

However, the number of these Night Demons was too large, far exceeding the number of cultivators in the city. No matter how strong True Monarch Zi Yu and True Monarch Wei Lan were, it was impossible to kill all of these Night Demons in one fell swoop.

The entire Dongcheng City fell into a state of extreme panic. On the Extreme Heaven Pagoda Mountain, those Night Demons also surged in from all directions like a tide.

“This … what the hell are these things? Why can’t they be killed!”

“Ah …”

“Junior Sister … be careful!”

“Holy shit! These demons are heading towards the tower … Hurry up and stop them!”

Inside Celestial Pogoda, chaos erupted. Countless Night Demons surged up from the foot of the mountain. How could the disciples in Celestial Pogoda stop them?

Even with Murong Xi, Qin Tianzong, and other experts present, it would be difficult for them to withstand such a large army of Night Demons in a short period of time.

These Night Demons were extremely fast and could hide in the darkness. They could even attach themselves to humans. Ordinary Dao Arts were difficult to kill them. Even the Immortal Swords cultivated by each of them were extremely easy to be tainted by their devil form, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

Very quickly, under the crazy attacks of tens of thousands of Night Demons, many parts of Celestial Pogoda had already fallen, and everyone could only gather towards the tower.

“What’s going on … Why are there so many magical creatures all of a sudden!”

At this moment, Ling Luan and the others were standing guard on Celestial Pogoda’s side. When they saw the tide of magical creatures surging in from afar, their faces turned deathly pale from fear as they hurriedly took out their magic treasures.

On the other side of the courtyard, Hua Weiyang, Zi Yuan, and Shen Jing were surrounded by countless Night Demons as soon as the three of them came out.

“Why are there so many magical creatures …”

Zi Yuan and Shen Jing were both shocked, but Hua Weiyang’s face was slightly startled. She naturally recognized that these were Night Demons, very low-grade magical creatures, but their numbers were very large. But why did so many Night Demons come to this world …

“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”

In the blink of an eye, these Night Demons attacked the three of them. Zi Yuan’s face was shocked and he immediately stood in front of Hua Weiyang. “Palace Master … watch out!”

However, how could she block the countless Night Demons in all directions?

Shen Jing also summoned two alchemists in an instant, but even so, it was difficult to resist these terrifying Night Demons.

Not only were these Night Demons enormous in number, but their strength wasn’t low either. What was even more terrifying was that once a cultivator was tainted by their devil qi, their cultivation would surely be damaged.

“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”

Suddenly, countless Night Demons rushed towards Hua Weiyang. Zi Yuan’s face was shocked, “Palace Master … watch out!” However, before she could go over, a group of Night Demons had already surrounded her.

At this moment, facing countless Night Demons, Hua Weiyang’s eyes gradually turned cold. When those Night Demons rushed over, she only heard her shout coldly, “Impudent!”

The moment he finished speaking, the Night Demons seemed to have been struck by a body fixation technique. They were all stunned on the spot, not daring to move at all. In the next moment, they began to tremble uneasily.

It was hard to imagine that these cruel and bloodthirsty Night Demons, who were not even afraid of a Quasi-Sage, would not dare to make a move in front of her like a subject meeting a monarch.

Very quickly, these Night Demons that came like tides left like tides. Within a radius of ten kilometers, there was no trace of another Night Demon. It was extremely quiet.

‘”What’s going on” Before Zi Yuan could react, the Night Demons that surrounded them had actually retreated like a tide.

Not far away, Shen Jing looked at Hua Weiyang. At this moment, a look of doubt flashed on her face. Why did those magical creatures just now look … as if they were afraid of her?

“Palace Master … what should we do now?” Even though the Night Demons had temporarily retreated, Zi Yuan still didn’t dare to be careless and quickly moved to protect Hua Weiyang.

Hua Weiyang looked at Celestial Pogoda, his brows furrowed. Xiao Chen was still in the tower. No matter what, before he came out … he couldn’t let these Night Demons get close to Celestial Pogoda!
