The Great Wild God - Chapter 503

Chapter 503 Bridge Of Heaven

Hundreds of war chariots and warships gathered, stirring up the spiritual energy within a radius of 1,000 to 2,000 kilometers. They were like thick clouds that surged out from the surroundings of the mountain range. A cold moon hung in the night sky, releasing a clear radiance. The mountain range stretched for a thousand kilometers seemed to be covered in a layer of frost and snow.

This was perhaps the first time in tens of thousands of years that moonlight had landed on the rocks of this mountain range.

Chen Xun stood on top of the cliff and looked at the Yin Fiend Miasma rolling in the northern horizon. Only a few peak cliff ridges seemed to be hidden within the black clouds.

If these dark clouds like Yin Fiend Miasma were to be dispelled, the Evil Ghost Gorge would reveal its true colors in front of him.

According to verified information, the Evil Ghost Gorge, which had not seen the sun for thousands of years, was a huge rift that was in the shape of a trumpet. The deepest part of the rift was three to four thousand meters wide, and its opening was more than a hundred miles wide. In the depths of the rift, it was compressed by giant mountains that were more than five to six thousand meters tall on both sides, leaving less than five to six miles wide.

The spatial rift was located in the depths of the Evil Ghost Gorge. It was less than two hundred kilometers away from here. Occasionally, the spatial rift would tremble with thunder, and the mountains on this side would also tremble slightly.

The Evil Ghost Gorge was originally the most dense place for the growth of the Yin Fiends in Darkness Ridge. At this moment, a large number of spatial rifts of the Demon Fiend Scripture gushed out. Even True Monarchs like Tao Jinghong and the others were unable to penetrate even the slightest bit of their divine sense.

Chen Xun and the others could only be certain that an unimaginable number of demon ghost soldiers were gathered under the cover of those black clouds.

“… Will the demons fight us in the Evil Ghost Gorge?” Su Tang flew to Chen Xun’s side and asked worriedly.

This ridge was over 4,000 feet tall, and the Yin Fiend Miasma could not be completely dispelled. Mixing into the Frost Fiend Spirit Wind caused great damage to the cultivator’s soul.

Su Tang wore an extra spiritual armor over her plain skirt, releasing a streak of azure profound light to cover her entire body. However, there was still a chill piercing through her bones, and she felt that this cold fiendish wind was truly difficult to resist.

This was also the most difficult place for the allied forces of the various sects to attack Darkness Ridge. Only then did they enter the depths of Darkness Ridge. With Su Tang’s cultivation, she felt slightly unwell, let alone those disciples below the Heavenly Yuan Realm who were about to die.

In fact, Darkness Ridge was filled with Yin Fiend Miasma. Apart from the main camp of the Alliance Army using various divine abilities to expel them, it was extremely difficult for them to fly through the air.

Apart from being able to move quickly by flying warships, almost all the disciples below the Heavenly Origin Realm had crossed this barren, yin, and fiendish stone ridge on foot and gathered here.

“If the demons can defend this place, there is no reason not to defend it,” Chen Xun said. “However, Demon Marshal Crimson Flame is extremely good at attacking. If he predicts that the Evil Ghost Gorge cannot defend it, he will not fight us to the death.”

Thousands of kilometers deep into Darkness Ridge was already detrimental to the allied forces of the various sects. The deeper the Darkness Ridge stretched, the more dangerous the terrain became. Chen Xun thought to himself that if he could not force the main forces of the demon race to fight them in the Ghost Gorge this time, it would be very difficult to wipe out so many Demon Soldiers and Ghost Soldiers.

In terms of mentality, many people were like Su Tang, both worried that the demons would fight them to the death in the Ghost Gorge, and afraid that the demons would abandon the Ghost Gorge and retreat deeper into Darkness Ridge.

Chen Xun didn’t want the allied forces of the various sects to obtain a tragic victory in the Evil Ghost Gorge with huge casualties, but there were some things that they had to do and some sacrifices that they had to make.

The Thousand Devil Realm was the Great Thousand Worlds that were on the verge of collapse. Its territory was a thousand times larger than the Cloud Continent. Even if it was a part of the Demon Domain under the rule of the Demon Dragon Qian Yu Bone, the number of demons was far beyond the reach of the human race in Cloud Continent.

In front of the Evil Ghost Gorge, the allied forces of the various sects were useless in killing even more magical creatures, and Demon Marshal Crimson Flame Ming would not cherish those low-grade magical creatures at all.

If the various sects failed to break through the Evil Ghost Gorge, if they failed to seal the spatial rift in the depths of the Evil Ghost Gorge, once the demons established a stable spatial passageway again, there would be hundreds or thousands of magical creatures pouring into Cloud Continent.

Although the number of Innate Demon Gods at the Demon Dragon Gan Yu Gu level was suppressed by the laws of space and wouldn’t easily break into Cloud Continent, Chen Xun believed that under the Demon Dragon Gan Yu Gu’s command, Crimson Flame Ming and the other Demon Marshal level Demon Race experts definitely weren’t just a handful, the number of Heavenly Demon level Demon Generals was even more likely to reach several thousand.

As long as there were another three to five Demon Marshal level Demon Race experts and three to five hundred Heavenly Demon level Demon Generals entering Cloud Continent, the situation would deteriorate to an unimaginable degree.

Chen Xun was also very clear in his heart. True Monarch Ku An, Tao Jing Hong, Patriarch Profound Fire, Daoist Yang Kun, and the others all understood very well that no matter how much sacrifice they had made in this invasion of Darkness Ridge, they would at least seal the spatial rift.

“Senior apprentice-brother, when you return this time, you can make it clear to Master. You’ve been sneaky all day, and you’re worried that if others don’t break it, it will affect your cultivation …”

A soft voice came from the depths of the valley to Chen Xun and Su Tang’s ears, as if a young man and woman were climbing towards them.

Chen Xun and Su Tang looked at each other and smiled. They restrained the profound light protecting their bodies. Soon, the two of them climbed onto a cliff that was more than a thousand feet away from them and stood nestled together to talk. The tone of their conversation was that of two fellow disciples who had feelings in their hearts and avoided their reunion.

Chen Xun couldn’t help but recall the scene of him and Su Tang meeting in the Lake Wasteland. At that time, his cultivation was very low, and he was in a precarious situation. He was worried about his livelihood all day long, but he also had boundless interest. Unlike now, although he was worried about the heaven and earth tribulation, everyone’s cultivation was already high, but their childhood sentiments were weak.

“What’s on your mind?” Su Tang’s bright eyes were like water, rippling with a beautiful autumn glow, and her demeanor was indescribably extraordinary.

“Thinking back to when we secretly met.” Chen Xun said via voice transmission.

“…” Su Tang’s dao heart, which was as clear as a glass platform, rippled. There was some hatred in her eyes and she said, “What do you want to do with those things? In the blink of an eye, a hundred years will have passed.”

“Not to mention, I don’t think it’s been so long.” Chen Xun smiled.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise coming from the dark clouds of the Yin Fiend Miasma. It was extremely powerful, as if countless lightning bolts were rolling and exploding against the cliff.

Chen Xun’s expression also changed when he heard this, and he didn’t care about the couple who had alerted the cliff, so he immediately flew with Su Tang towards the middle road camp.

Tao Jinghong, Ji Lie, and the others all flew over in their escape lights.

A bronze palace stood in front of the Evil Ghost Gorge.

The Xuandu Palace was the core of the Xuandu Heavenly Gate Formation, and it was also one of the only two pure Yang Dao treasures in the hands of the Xuandu Palace.

The Xuandu Palace was more than ten zhang tall, and its surroundings were more than two hundred zhang tall. Its body was carved with fish, birds, insects, and beasts and ancient seal characters. It directly absorbed spiritual energy from the void. Crimson spiritual light flowed around the top of the palace, but it gave off an unusually peaceful feeling in this place where the Yin Fiend Miasma was dense.

With such a pure Yang Dao treasure here, the allied forces of the various sects had gained confidence in their devil hunting skills.

Chen Xun, Tao Jinghong, Ji Lie, and Su Tang entered the Xuandu Palace and saw that the heads of the various sects had all rushed over first. It seemed that the strange movements that had just spread out from the depths of the Evil Ghost Gorge were quite shocking.

“Just now, the lightning collapsed. It must be the devil race using the Heaven and Earth Spell Formation to build the Heaven Realm Bridge.” A Protector Elder from the Black Flame Sect immediately spoke out the biggest guess in everyone’s hearts.

“A decisive battle at the Evil Ghost Gorge will be detrimental to the demons. The spatial passageway that the demons are eager to build right now. If the Evil Ghost Gorge is not guarded, aren’t they afraid of losing another Heaven and Earth Array?” Someone asked.

Even if Mountain Parasol didn’t completely destroy the Heaven and Earth Spell Formation that connected the Demon Race to the Demon Ruins, he would still be heavily injured.

The mo’s level of artifact forging was inferior to that of Cloud Continent as a whole. The destruction of every Heaven and Earth Array was a huge loss to the mo.

If the demons had the confidence to defend the Evil Ghost Gorge, there was no need to rush to establish a spatial passageway. If the demons didn’t have the confidence to defend the Evil Ghost Gorge, wouldn’t it be a waste to use the Heaven and Earth Rank magic array to create a spatial passageway?

“It’s precisely because the demons don’t have the confidence to defend the Evil Ghost Gorge that they need to seize every opportunity to build a spatial passageway” Chen Xun said.

“Why did True Master Chen say that?” True Monarch Ku An asked.

Chen Xun said, “Our goal in this battle is very clear. It is to seal the spatial rift. The demons have probed many times before, so we should understand our determination to attack the Evil Ghost Gorge. Once we capture the Evil Ghost Gorge and seal the spatial rift, even though there are still a million demons in Darkness Ridge, we will face the problem of helplessness in the near future.” At this time, as long as the various sects worked together, they would not fear sacrifice and would not be able to make a big contribution to the ongoing campaign against Darkness Ridge within three to five years, but with the support of thirty to fifty years, they should be able to annihilate the millions of demons in Darkness Ridge! “The demons must have taken this matter into consideration when they hurriedly erected the bridge to the Heaven Realm.”

“True Master Chen is saying that the demons are eager to erect a bridge to the Heaven Realm to send a batch of high-level demons over?” Patriarch Black Fire asked.

Previously, in Zhou Wushan, Profound Fire Ancestor, on the one hand, had disdain for the explosive rise of Mountain Parasol, and on the other hand, he hoped that he could borrow the power of Spring Mausoleum Monarch to gain more room for the Profound Fire Sect to develop in the Northern Region.

He didn’t want Spring Mausoleum Monarch to be so unbearable, and Mountain Parasol didn’t seem to have a deep foundation, but many disciples were more determined than anyone to kill the demons in Darkness Ridge.

Although there would be many considerations and tradeoffs, who didn’t want such an ally to walk side by side in this fierce battle?

Chen Xun nodded.

In the Battle of the Thousand Devil Sand Sea, although the amount of magical creatures that entered the Cloud Continent was large, they were mostly low-grade magical creatures. Demon Marshal Crimson Flame Ming and many Heavenly Yao level magical generals were able to enter the Cloud Continent through self-destructing magical pills and sealing their cultivation.

At that time, when the demons were at their weakest, if the Governor-General’s Mansion of the Northwest Region had been able to attack the entrance of the Demon Ruins without hesitation, there wouldn’t have been so many things happening.

After Old Dragon Lake’s victory, Crimson Flame Ming led millions of demons back into Darkness Ridge. Fifty to sixty years later, Crimson Flame Ming and many Heavenly Yao level demon generals had almost recovered their cultivation.

At this moment, the various sects had joined forces even more closely. The strength of the alliance army was similarly far greater than that of the Northwest Protectorate army back then. It was still able to suppress the millions of demons in Darkness Ridge. Furthermore, in the previous few battles, it had demonstrated its determination to take down the Evil Ghost Gorge.

At this moment, the demons had to consider sending a batch of higher demons over before the spatial rift was sealed. Only then would they be able to deal with the allied forces of the various sects in Darkness Ridge for a longer period of time.

“Why can’t the demons open spatial rifts anywhere else? Why do they have to rush to the Evil Ghost Gorge?” The head of a small sect in the Northern Region asked.

“It’s not that easy to open a spatial rift that connects two Heavenly Domains at the same time. Otherwise, the demons wouldn’t have only been plotting in Tu Shan and Darkness Ridge these past few years.” True Monarch Ku An explained.

At this moment, only True Monarch Celestial had a slight understanding of the Laws of Space.

Although three or four Empyrean True Monarchs could tear apart the spatial profound wall, opening the spatial rift that connected the two heavenly domains at the same time was far from as simple as imagined, and the choice of location was extremely harsh.

Otherwise, Zu Long Shan’s status in Cloud Continent wouldn’t be so high.
