The Great Wild God - Chapter 797
Chapter 797 Black Cloud City
Cloud Barren Mountain stretched for 300,000 to 400,000 kilometers. It was one of the main veins of the western continent of Tian Jun. It was abundant in spiritual energy. Even mortals who lived in Cloud Barren Mountain could usually live for two to three years.
Apart from the core mountains of the Heavenly Dao Sect, such as the Divine Awakening Peak, which was sealed off by numerous immortal formations, there were countless mortals living in the vast basins and valleys of the Cloud Barren Mountain Ridges.
From the Cloud Barren Mountain to the Snowdragon Mountain and the Dishi Mountain Ridges that were adjacent to the Storm Sea, the northern wilderness stretched for millions of kilometers. The rivers and hills were crisscrossed. In the early years, there were hundreds of thousands of tribes, large and small. The human population was as dense as the stars, and countless.
Right now, even the towering mountains at the southern foot of the Cloud Barren Mountain had been torn apart by the Blood Sea Demonic Tribulation that had lasted for more than two hundred years. The northern wilderness, the two-winged Stillwater Continent, the South Sea Continent, and other places south of the Cloud Barren Mountain had all fallen into the deathly silence of the demons, piling up piles of bones everywhere.
The mountain range was broken, the river was dried up, the spiritual energy was cut off, the plants and vegetation were destroyed, and the remnant soul vengeful fiends gathered in the valley to form countless Profound Yin Absolute Fiends. Countless fierce soul fiends also grew, and many of them condensed into real ghosts that continued to devour the remaining creatures around them.
If he hadn’t come out of the Cloud Barren Mountain and looked at the deathly black and desolate land in front of him, Chen Xun would have suspected that he was in the Devil Ruins.
These places had only fallen for less than fifty to sixty years, yet they had actually become this scene. Even if Chen Xun had predicted the worst situation, the corner of his eyes twitched slightly at this moment, and his back was shrouded in an indescribably sorrowful icy cold.
“Although the alliance forces in Cloud Barren Mountain established a solid defense line, but compared to the east and west across the western continent 20 to 30 million miles, Cloud Barren Mountain’s defense line is too short, small groups of demons can roundabout from the two wings to the rear of Cloud Barren Mountain 3 to 4 million miles deep, prey on mortals. It wasn’t just the Stillwater Continent, the South China Sea Continent, the northern wilderness, Even Immortal Forest Valley, Spirit Ruins Sect, Shentu Clan, Brahma Heaven Palace, Nearly a hundred years after the fall of Snowdragon Mountain and Dishi Mountain’s defensive line, Tens of billions of people have been lost, “Even the northernmost territory of the Ji clan is beginning to be involved” Jiang Xiji saw Chen Xun enter Tian Jun and immediately sneaked into the border area between the Stillwater Continent and the northern wilderness to see the spread of the demonic calamity. As soon as she truly flew out of Cloud Barren Mountain, she remained silent and told Chen Xun about the most severe situation in the western continent of Tian Jun.
A hundred years ago, Yu Heng Jie was affected by the Black Wind Calamity, which spread over tens of thousands of kilometers. After that, a large number of demons flooded in, making almost all the surviving creatures in the vicinity of Feng Zhou immune. The Bloody Sea Demonic Tribulation continued to this day, and the devastating devastation it had caused to the human race was no longer under the Black Wind Calamity.
“The Nine Great Immortal Monarchs gathered at the Cloud Desolate Mountain Ridge and didn’t do anything?” Chen Xun asked in a deep voice.
“It’s only been fifty to sixty years since the Battle of Lu Chen on Everbright Island. Everyone has lingering fears that the Brahma Heaven Realm immortals will directly trigger an irreparable decisive battle,” Jiang Xiwu said. “This is clearly not what the other eight families want to see. Thus, even though Cloud Barren Mountain has nine Immortal Monarchs in charge, the true organization of defensive warfare is still the experts of the Upper Three Realms of Nirvana.” As for the demons, they seemed to have formed a tacit understanding. Many Demon Emperor level Eternal Demons remained dormant … ”
Chen Xun sighed bitterly.
The South Sea Immortal Palace, the Jiang Clan, the Shentu Clan, the Brahma Heaven Palace, the Spirit Ruins Sect, the Heavenly Dao Sect, Although the other eight clans were aware that the Blood Sea Demonic Tribulation would completely devour the Western Continent after Cloud Barren Mountain’s fall, it seemed that as long as they could defend Cloud Barren Mountain, the other eight clans’ territories would not be affected directly. Thus, Chen Xun could understand why they were unwilling to engage in a final battle with the demon army.
At this moment, of the nine Immortal Monarchs gathered at Cloud Barren Mountain, the other eight sects accounted for six of them. The strategy of the various sects to resist the demon race was not something Chen Xun or Patriarch Primordial Chaos could reverse once they returned to the Heavenly Dao Sect.
At this moment, the demons had split up their forces to invade the Lesser Heaven Domain, secretly accelerating the revival of the Primordial Demon God. They probably wished for this stalemate to drag on, and did not wish for a decisive battle to take place immediately.
This caused Immortal Monarchs and Demon Emperors on both sides to not fight. The tug-of-war was dominated by heaven-defying experts and ancient giants.
However, in the Battle of Lu Chen on Everbright Island, the human race had lost too many Nirvana Realm profound cultivators, and the area around Cloud Barren Mountain was in a state of utter ruin. They were deeply attacked by the demons, so it was impossible for them to take a rest. Even if the other eight sects and even the Immortal Dao Sects of the Southern Continent and Eastern Continent sent out a large number of elite disciples, it would not be enough to reverse the disadvantage of passive defense in Cloud Barren Mountain.
In comparison, since the demons invaded Tian Jun, they had obtained great victories. They had conquered Stillwater Continent and South Sea Immortal Palace one after another, and obtained a large amount of cultivation resources. Hundreds of millions of demon soldiers and demons had to devour hundreds of millions of creatures. Their strength had increased explosively, and even more demon soldiers and demons would pour into Tian Jun from the demon ruins.
Even if he didn’t consider the resurrection of the Primordial Demon God and continued to delay, without breaking the deadlock, the humans of the Western Continent of Tian Jun would still be in a difficult situation.
“The demon army that is advancing on the Cloud Wilderness Ridge is mainly gathered in Black Cloud City!”
Chen Xun and the Xi Martial Emperor sneaked thousands of kilometers south. A towering black rock city that directly entered the Nine Heavens Spirit Wind Layer faintly revealed a corner amidst the black clouds.
Vaguely, there were more than ten demonic dragons swimming in the black clouds.
These demonic dragons were all enormous. Each of them was estimated to be two to three thousand feet long, but compared to Black Cloud City, they were as small as mud loaches. Chen Xunshi couldn’t imagine just how enormous Black Cloud City was, whose main body was still hidden within the black fiendish clouds.
Even thirty to forty thousand kilometers away, Chen Xun could vaguely feel the demonic pressure coming from Black Cloud City.
The aura of Black Cloud City merged into one. This Floating Demon City was definitely an existence that had surpassed the top grade Dao Weapon level.
It wasn’t that the Immortal Monarchs gathered in the Cloud Wilderness Ridge were unwilling to fight to the death with the Demon Race army. Chen Xun thought of the fact that eleven bottles of Demon Emperor level Demon Race experts could enter Black Cloud City at any time through the spatial passageway. Even if the Demon Race didn’t have reinforcements to enter Tian Jun, just how much and at what price would the allied forces of the various sects have to pay to conquer Black Cloud City?
In terms of public information, the Brahma Heaven Palace alone possessed one Immortal-ranked magic treasure from the fourteen sects of the Western Continent. It was left behind by its sixth ancestor before he left Tian Jun hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Although Xu Zheng had also refined the two War Soul Remnant Tombstones into soul tools, restoring the two War Souls to their original state and re-entering the ranks of Immortal-ranked magic treasures was definitely not an easy task.
“Let’s go back?” Emperor Xi Wu saw Chen Xun frowning as he stared at Black Cloud City. If they continued forward, the Demon Emperor level experts in Black Cloud City would not make a move, but alerting one or two ancient devils was not something they could endure.
Chen Xun didn’t want to reveal his strength prematurely. He was just about to turn around and head back to meet Xu Zheng, Ji Chang (Chang Ji), Yu Xuzi, Jiang Tianchou, and the others. At this moment, his heart trembled, and a wisp of killing intent appeared in front of him.
“Let’s go!” Emperor Xi Wu quickly noticed that they were being targeted by the Great Demon Lord level experts hiding nearby. Although he and Chen Xun had no problem working together to deal with a Great Demon Lord, they had already sneaked deep into the Demon Lord’s control area. Once he and Chen Xun were entangled by this Great Demon Lord, it would be difficult for them to escape.
Although Fang Xiaohan led the Black Shirt Army to secretly station in the Heaven Splitting Valley, and Patriarch Thunder Demon and Patriarch Chaos, who had transformed into Chaos, were hiding in the Lotus Book Cave. They were currently investigating the situation in the area controlled by the demons, but now was definitely not the time to expose these two trump cards.
“Alright!” Chen Xun didn’t say much as he transformed into a ray of light and followed behind Emperor Xi Wu, quickly fleeing in the direction of Cloud Barren Mountain.
Emperor Xi Wu was initially worried that Chen Xun’s speed wouldn’t keep up. But listening to the sound of broken silk tearing through the clouds, Seeing Chen Xun’s body wrapped in an extremely fast escape light, his expression appeared relaxed. Even if he didn’t rely on a Dao artifact magic treasure, there was still room to further increase his escape speed. At this moment, slowing down his escape speed was actually accommodating to him. He asked in surprise, “I heard that you defeated tens of thousands of Demon Weapons and Demon Generals with a single horse spear. I thought that you relied more on that Dao artifact magic treasure …”
“Without the Du Tian Arrest Demon Flag and the Crimson Blood Nether Snake Demon, I wouldn’t have been able to easily deal with so many demon soldiers and demon generals.” Chen Xun smiled and did not deny Emperor Xi’s conjecture.
He left the Nine Prisons God King’s Demon Execution Chariot and Nebula Boat to Fang Xiaohan and the others. He didn’t have any Dao Weapon-level escape magic treasures in his hands, but he could still increase his escape speed by 30 to 40%.
The Great Circle Heavenly Yu Steps that Chen Xun was cultivating at this moment were the escape techniques that Chang Xi had passed down to the Taiyuan Immortal Clan. The Kui Dragon Nine Evasions was another of the Kui Dragon Clan’s excellent true flying evasion techniques.
In comparison, the Xi Martial Emperor had never become a direct descendant of the Jiang Clan in ancient times, so he was unable to obtain the Immortal Technique Inheritance of the Jiang Clan in ancient times. And just relying on the Ancestral Dragon Art fragment inheritance, the cultivation of many divine abilities and profound arts couldn’t keep up with his current cultivation realm.
Of course, Chen Xun wouldn’t mind imparting the various Immortal Techniques of the Yi Clan, the Beichen Sect, and the Taiyuan Immortal Clan to Emperor Xi Wu, but he had just returned to Tian Jun and didn’t have the time to do so.
Although Chen Xun had told Emperor Xi about Patriarch Primordial Chaos and the Black-clothed Army, he didn’t elaborate on the level of his current cultivation.
Emperor Xi Wu didn’t ask directly before, but judging from his usual judgement, he thought that Chen Xun was only at the Second Realm of Nirvana.
Every time a Nascent Soul cultivator underwent a tribulation, their bodies would be tempered with tribulation flames, leaving behind a pupil shadow in the depths of their pupils. This was also the most obvious sign of a Nirvana Realm expert. Unless they deliberately concealed it, otherwise, it would be very easy to judge.
Regardless of whether it was cultivating at the bottom of the Black Falling Star Abyss or in the Lotus Book Cave, Chen Xun had indeed only tempered his fleshly body once with Tribulation Fire. At other times, in order to avoid interrupting his comprehension of the Grand Dao of Primordial Chaos and Chaos, Chen Xun had stored the tribulation fire into Chaos’s magical sense as soon as the great tribulation of wind and fire had begun. His physical cultivation was indeed still at the level of the second tribulation.
However, Martial Emperor Xi and the people of Wushan felt that Chen Xun was worth entrusting him with. It was never because Chen Xun’s cultivation was so profound, because he did not pay special attention to this aspect.
Apart from the Nine Great Immortal Monarchs, there were no 100 or 50 Nirvana Upper Three Realms experts gathered in the Cloud Wilderness Ridge, but none of them were worthy of Martial Emperor Xi entrusting his life to them.
At this moment, a wisp of black fiendish cloud chased after Chen Xun from behind. Although it was impossible to see which Great Devil Lord was chasing after him, the fiendish cloud emitted an aura that Chen Xun was familiar with.
Chen Xun casually chopped out a sword light. It was hundreds of kilometers apart, and in an instant, it pierced through the sky, slicing the fiendish cloud in half. However, he saw the four-armed demon Yan Mo and the two wing demons stunned in midair in fear.
Chen Xun smiled faintly, “So I’m still an acquaintance, so I’ll take it as a companion for Crimson Flame Ming!” He took out the remnant page of the Lotus Book and rolled it towards the Four-Armed Demon Yama and the two Winged Demons …
