Chapter 417 Arrival
The cloud boat was accompanied by the moon, and light.
into the world of the five continents of the Primordial World, it flew towards the North Continent at a leisurely pace.
The fairies on the cloud boat gradually restrained their smiles and stopped talking about the interesting things in the Holy Mother Palace… “Sister, are we really going to persuade the demons to retreat this time? Without the G.o.ddess’s decree, will it work if we just go there to talk about it empty-handed?”
“Even if you can’t, you have to persuade him.” The fairy taking the lead said gently, “Today, we can’t say that we are under the orders of the G.o.ddess. We can only say that we are working in the G.o.ddess’s Palace. The G.o.ddess did not give the decree because she did not want to interfere with the Heavenly Dao. Now, more than half of the demons have been used by a few elders of the ancient Demon Court. More living beings have been implicated and entered the calamity. G.o.ddess, please remind them. It can be considered that they have lived up to their friends.h.i.+p with the Demon Court.”
“Big Sister, why do they always like to fight? Can’t
The leader of the fairies had a helpless expression. She had white fur on her ears, proving her ident.i.ty as
“Perhaps they are just unwilling to be lonely.”
The other three fairies, who were also from the demon race, had solemn expressions on their faces when they heard that. They did not say anything else and stood on the cloud boat to observe the world. They headed towards the border of the North Continent.
There, waves of demons wreaked havoc. The starry night was covered by dark clouds.
Dark clouds floated over from the sea, and countless figures rushed onto the ground that was covered in Frost Pine Trees. After a simple troop formation, they rode the clouds again.
In front of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall that was s.h.i.+ning with golden light in the Heavenly Courts, Li Changshou and General Dongmu stood there. Behind them, there were more than ten Heavenly Generals and officials who bowed to the Lingxiao Treasure
That was equivalent to reporting to the Jade Emperor that the Heavenly Courts were about to send troops to help the Magi of the North Continent.
General Dongmu said worriedly, “Should we wake the G.o.ddess or His Majesty up and ask for instructions? After all, we have to use hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers this time and fight the demons head-on.”
Li Changshou looked troubled and said softly, “General Dongmu, His Majesty has just experienced the tribulation in the mortal world. If we wake His Majesty up because of this matter, I’m afraid it will ruin His Majesty’s opportunity. What happened today was the demons breaking the ancient agreement and attacking the Magi of the North Continent. The Heavenly Courts sent troops to save them because the demons had caused trouble for no reason. It is reasonable for them to disregard the orders of the Dao Ancestor back then. It is also within our scope of authority to make decisions. If there are any major matters that threaten the Primordial World, we naturally cannot make decisions on our own. However, this matter only involves a small part of the Primordial World. We cannot be afraid and not fulfill the duties that His Majesty and the G.o.ddess entrusted to us because we are afraid of bearing the consequences. Otherwise, how should His Majesty view General Dongmu?” General Dongmu pondered for a while and nodded
“The Water G.o.d makes sense! Water G.o.d, please be careful and reduce the casualties of our Heavenly Courts. That way, when His Majesty returns to the
“Don’t worry, General Dongmu.” Li Changshou smiled confidently and encouraged General Dongmu and the other immortals. “If we fail to deal with the situation this time, I will accept His Majesty’s punishment together with you!”
General Dongmu was instantly grateful.
Although he felt that the Water G.o.d’s words were
“Everything will depend on the Water G.o.d! I’ll go prepare the troops and wait for the battle. The various halls of the Heavenly Courts have already made preparations. Today, I will definitely defeat the demons’ scheme and show the Heavenly Courts’
“Thank you, General Dongmu.”
“For the rise of the Heavenly Courts, for the survival
General Dongmu made himself sound heroic and made a Dao salute to Li Changshou. His long robe fluttered as he turned around and left. The Heavenly Generals behind him followed.
Li Changshou turned around and bowed to the immortals. He said, “I’ll have to trouble you to
“Water G.o.d, don’t worry!”
“Since, we can’t go out with General Dongmu and the marshals, we can only do what we have to do!”
“I will definitely do my best to protect the safety of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals on my side. Water G.o.d, please take charge of the overall
“Sure!”
The seven to eight immortals bowed and left to head towards the various temples.
Li Changshou turned around and looked at the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. He stopped for a while and flew back to the Water G.o.d Residence on a cloud.
Actually, there were some things that he could not say openly. Based on the Jade Emperor’s personality, if he really woke the Jade Emperor up, he would probably have no upper limit in the battle to destroy the elite
The Heavenly Courts were not prepared for a full-scale battle.
Why should he be in a hurry to make the Heavenly Courts’ soldiers bleed for nothing?
This time, Li Changshou would use his main body to fight. He would try his best to use the advantage of Ren School’s treasure to make up for his lack of experts.
He could also earn some merit from the negative
Courts and was ready to react at any time.
His immortal senses swept across the various parts of the Heavenly Courts. There were Immortal G.o.ds and Immortals of the Heavenly Courts who were eager to fight everywhere. There were many officials gathered in the Thunder Punishment Hall. They would attack together later and suppress the demons! As soon as the paper effigy flew to the Water G.o.d Residence, a huge star in the East Heaven attracted Li Changshou’s attention.
It was Venus. It had come out a little early today.
In his previous life, there was a saying that Venus was in charge of killing and war…
He did not know if that was true.
Li Changshou pursed his lips slightly. The old immortal paper effigy returned to the Water G.o.d
When he s.h.i.+fted his attention elsewhere, Li Changshou did not forget to take a look at the situation of the spiritual pearl next door. At that moment, his grandnephew was focused on cultivating and seemed to have gained enlightenment. Li Changshou really wished that he could summon Nezha in advance and use him in the battle today.
At that moment, it was difficult for the generals of
encountered such a moderate battle, they actually needed the officials of the Heavenly Courts to personally take action!
Ah, the Primordial World is difficult. The Divine Dao
Li Changshou was a little worried and looked at the situation on General Dongmu’s side. A large number of Heavenly Soldiers from the Heavenly Courts began to rush out of the North Heavenly Gate. The two “Descent” arrays had already locked onto the designated battlefield.
Next, the demons could unleash their full potential. As long as they did not suddenly retreat or the Heavenly Dao suddenly sent down the Purple Heaven
destroyed the effective combat power of the Magi… everything would be under control.
He s.h.i.+fted his attention to the north of the North
In the dark underground cave, a paper effigy that looked like a middle-aged Daoist opened his eyes.
immediately released his immortal senses.
“Sir! You’re awake!”
Amidst the boorish shouts, more than ten figures immediately surrounded him.
They were dressed in beast hide armor and carried various weapons. Their bodies contained powerful strength. They were naturally Magi of the North Continent.
Li Changshou asked, “Have the Grand Magi returned?”
“They have all returned to the black mountain!”
few Grand Magi that the demon army is about to arrive. Immediately activate the array formations! You don’t have to be stingy with the Spirit Stones given by the Heavenly Courts. You Magi don’t need these for your cultivation.”
Li Changshou continued, “I’ll patrol everywhere. I’ll meet up with the Grand Magus later.”
After saying that, he used Earth Escape and his figure kept patrolling in a radius of 50 kilometers. The dozen Battle Magi were stunned for a moment before they quickly turned around and sped away. They kept shouting, “The demons are attacking! Prepare for a fight!”
Li Changshou was speechless…
The Magi clearly only had less than 20% of the enemy’s troops. Why were these guys shouting with
The Magi were not unprepared for the demons’ invasion today.
The Magi had lived in the North Continent for many years. Although they had been schemed against by the demons in the past ten thousand years, their race’s fate had gradually withered, and the entire Magi race had lost their will to fight. However, when they had moved to the North Continent in the early years, they had made many safe havens to prevent
The black mountain was a Magi fortress.
That was the last place the Magi could retreat to when the calamity of extermination was envisaged. It was less than 150 kilometers away from the North Ocean. Only on the west side, there was a flat path, and the other three sides were rather dangerous.
Although the Magi were not good at curses, spells, and Dharma spells, and the development of array formations was a little off, there were indeed array formations.
The most widely circulated array formations in the Primordial World mostly used the array foundation to draw in spiritual energy and vital energy, unleas.h.i.+ng power that far exceeded the strength of the person who set up the array.
blood energy as the foundation to stimulate the power of their bloodlines and condense an offensive array. For example, the famous “Twelve Capital Heaven Divine Fiend Array”. The protective array formation of the black mountain was one of the few defensive arrays that the Magi had built. It was a protective array formation that used Spirit Stones as the foundation. The method to set up the array formation was learned from their ancient ally, the big brother of the human race. Unfortunately, the Spirit Stones that the Magi had stored in that place had gradually dissipated due to the pa.s.sage of time.
It had only been half a month since the demons had issued the declaration to the heavens. Li Changshou had made the decision to get the Heavenly Courts and the Dragon Palace to send a batch of Spirit Stones to completely activate the black mountain’s defensive array formation as the main method to resist the demons’ attacks head-on.
The black mountain’s array formation was in the shape of a gourd. Most of it was buried underground.
The surface of the ground was a dark stone mountain that had been cut into a semicircle. Battle Magi were stationed inside, ready to attack at any time.
On the other hand, the ground below was almost completely hollowed out. It was enveloped by a huge array and could accommodate hundreds of thousands of Magi hiding. At that moment, only two-thirds of it
The children who had recently been born and were regarded as the hope of the Magi were currently protected by the Magi in the safest position.
They were the reason that the Magi had the willpower to continue fighting, as well as the reason for the burning anger within the Magi.
The hatred of the Man-Exterminating Sword!
The battle between Heaven and Earth, the Primordial Dao, and the Dao of the physical body would return to the Primordial World today!
Outside the black mountain, there were continuous mountains in the south, east, and north. There were poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. Only the west side had a large pine forest. That was also the direction where the demons were about to attack.
To be safe, Li Changshou patrolled the black mountain carefully.
He was really worried that the demons would take advantage of any mistakes made by the Magi and
Two hours later, Li Changshou heard a few eagle cries. He knew that the demons had already discovered that place.
The demons also had many experts. Naturally, they could detect the movements of the Magi in advance.
After checking the last few array formations, Li Changshou rushed to the surface and entered the
That was a military camp. Magi in their prime were eating before the battle. The fragrance of roasted meat floated everywhere.
The strength of the Magi depended on the distance between their bloodline and the twelve Magi. The 16,000 Magi here were all elites that the Magi could
Of course, all the members of the Magi could fight. At that moment, they did not let the old, weak, and the Magi with weaker bloodlines appear.
When they saw Li Changshou’s figure, a few Grand Magi immediately welcomed him. The figures that were emitting rich blood energy also looked at Li Changshou with burning and fervent eyes.
A Grand Magus was rather excited and shouted, “Lord Water G.o.d! The vanguard of the demons is about an hour away from here! Why don’t we catch
“It’s easy to fight, but it’s difficult to escape,” Li Changshou said seriously. “The Magi want to defeat the demons with the least casualties. Today, we should cooperate with the Heavenly Courts’ army. The array formation here is so stable. Why don’t you
A Grand Magus said in a deep voice, “Water G.o.d, if we avoid the battle, the demons will probably laugh at us.”
Li Changshou raised his voice. He first frowned and wanted to reason with the Magi. The few Grand Magi immediately wanted to reprimand the clansmen who wanted to go out and fight.
However, Li Changshou suddenly smiled and said, “Everyone, you can change your minds. If we go out to fight, there will be no need for the other party to attack the Black Mountain Array Formation. Wouldn’t that make the demons spend less effort when fighting us? Wouldn’t that be letting them off easy?”
The Magi thought about it carefully and agreed.
Li Changshou said seriously, “What can we do about the demon race? Let them attack a few array formations and tire them out. Then, we can rush out and kill to our heart’s content. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”
“Beautiful!”
“The Water G.o.d is right!”
“That’s right. We can’t let these demons take advantage of us. Let’s tire them out first before we crush them!”
heard from the mountain. Many Magi from the other “compartments” gradually became lively when they heard that.
Li Changshou secretly felt tired. His main body quietly closed the book “How to communicate effectively with cowards”.
Li Changshou pretended to listen and said loudly, “The brothers from the Netherworld who came to support us have already set up an ambush in the east. We have to follow the plan. Otherwise, we will be
The Magi perked up and hurriedly agreed.
In the corner, a few Magi muttered softly, “What’s the plan?”
“I don’t know. Why should we care so much? If the Lord wants us to charge, we’ll charge. If we encounter demons, we’ll tear them apart!”
Li Changshou squinted and chuckled. At that moment, a Grand Magus shouted, “Smoke!”
More than ten responses came from the mountain. Immediately, dense footsteps sounded everywhere.
Not long after, black smoke surged out from various parts of the black mountain. In the blink of an eye, it covered a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
Li Changshou tried to release his immortal senses, but he realized that his immortal senses were isolated by the black smoke. It was as if he had
The Magi were indeed something.
After all, he had fought the demons for so many years. He was not good at Essence Soul detection. It was reasonable for him to have such means.
After a while, the number of “scouts” sent by the demons increased.
Birds appeared within the range of the black smoke and kept approaching the black mountain. Unexpectedly, spears would fly out from the black mountain. These spears that were thrown purely with the strength of one’s arm accompanied by sharp whistling sounds. However, they were much faster than the sound. They were like blood-colored lightning!
70-80% of the demons’ scouts had been injured.
black mountain to the upper echelons of the demons.
The demon army was thousands of kilometers away. The Magi did not move.
The black mountain that was 250 kilometers away was still motionless.
It was not until the demon army stopped at the clouds 150 kilometers away and the various demon kings prepared for battle that the demons were
The Magi are actually hiding this time!
The vanguard army of the demon race did not dare to move. They were afraid that they would be ambushed
A black cloud flew over from the North Ocean. It carried more than a hundred experts of the demon race. They arrived above the vanguard army and looked at the stone mountains wrapped in black smoke.
They could already smell the strong smell of the Magi. The eastern sky was suffused with the glow of dawn. The world quickly became bright, and the Sun brought hot spiritual energy. That was the timing that the demons had carefully
A few ancient demons from the demon race stood up. Lu Gong’s voice echoed in the surroundings. “These brutal Magi are already left with their last bit of vitality. They are currently hiding and not coming out. We can’t let them grow again and hunt us! The light of the Golden Crow Divine Clan shone once again! My children, the race of all spirits will never submit to the Magi!”
Beside Lu Gong, a majestic figure in armor jumped up high. In the air, he turned into a black-furred golden-striped tiger that was hundreds of feet long. He roared at the black mountain with a tiger roar that shook the heavens and earth!
At that moment, the demons on the dark clouds in the sky howled.
Half of the demons with decent strength transformed into their true forms. There were also groups of ferocious beasts and ferocious birds with surging demonic auras on the cloud!
The bears, wolves, tigers, leopards, foxes, deer, eagles, birds, and fish. There were so many races that it was difficult to count them all at once. He roughly estimated that there were hundreds of species!
Most of the demon soldiers and demon generals still maintained their human forms. They each wielded their weapons and activated their Dharma treasures and Dharma artifacts. They followed behind the powerful demon kings and surged towards the black mountain!
Light flickered in the sky. Suddenly, a purple-white lightning screen lit up and blocked the demon soldiers!
The vast heavenly might accompanied the lightning curtain and forcefully cut off the advance of the demon army, causing the demons with lower cultivation levels to be alarmed.
Waves of green light appeared in the world again. Strong gusts of wind blew from the North Ocean. After a while, they turned into strong gusts of wind that blew towards the place where the demons were. The Heavenly Courts’ Divine Palace unleashed its might!
Suddenly, a green-skinned python rushed out of the group of demons. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a thousand feet long. It entrenched itself in the air and opened its mouth to suck in!
The wind that filled the sky turned into wisps of green light and was engulfed by the python…
The python opened its mouth and roared at the sky. Its rough voice suppressed its anger.
“Heavenly Courts, don’t be a busybody!”
Then, he heard the thunder in the sky. The clouds gathered and condensed into a dignified face. It was the appearance of General Dongmu!
General Dongmu’s dignified voice echoed in the world.
“The Heavenly Courts have received the orders of the Dao Ancestor to protect the world and the Three Realms! Now, you demons did not respect the orders of the Heavenly Courts first. After you provoked the ancient hatred without permission, you did not respect the orders of the Dao Ancestor back then. You
kill the Magi! I advise you to retreat in time. Otherwise, you will definitely be destroyed. The
The demons were silent for a while. Suddenly, loud laughter sounded. Hundreds of demon experts laughed.
A greater demon shouted loudly, “The Heavenly Courts still don’t dare to send a single soldier. They only know how to scare people?!
The demon soldiers agreed in unison. Waves of demonic aura gathered into a chaotic aura. The aura surged, almost shaking the Nine Heavens Imperial Court!
Behind the dark clouds, a cloud mountain rose majestically. There were more than ten layers of dark clouds, and hundreds of thousands of demons were gathered.
It blotted out the sky and was vast. Among them, the
It was originally a sunny day, but because of the demons and the surging demonic aura, the ground became gloomy and dark again. In the black mountain, the Magi felt the pressure from the demon army. However, because of that, their battle blood was ignited!
