Chapter 111: Bloody Battle Against the Demon Tide, the Devil King is Slain
Dawn breaks, and the heavy gates of Rock Fortress slowly open. Over four thousand elite Soul Masters, led by their respective Sect leaders, form battle arrays. Like a torrent of steel, they march with solemn steps toward the Savage Beast Hills a hundred miles away, where Devilish Qi surges into the sky. Sunlight glints off cold armor and spirit tools, reflecting a chilling light as the air thickens with resolute Battle Intent.
The allied forces move swiftly, approaching the edge of the Savage Beast Hills in less than half a day. The stench of sulfur and blood in the air grows increasingly heavy and nauseating. In the distant valley, the shrieks and roars of demons echo like rolling thunder, and demon clouds blot out the sun.
"Form ranks! Prepare to engage!" Supreme Pontiff Qian Chongshan's voice spreads through the entire army via Soul Power.
The allied forces quickly shift their formation. At the very front are the heavy-armored Soul Masters of Spirit Hall and the defense system Soul Masters of the Black Tortoise Sect. Their thick shields form a wall, and the glow of Soul Power merges into a solid line of defense. Behind them, the attack system and agility-attack system Soul Masters of various Sects stand ready. On the flanks, Soul Masters from the Wind Sword Sect and White Tiger Sect, skilled in speed and surprise attacks, roam in support. The Soul Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are positioned in the center; Ning Zhiyuan holds the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, its brilliant colored light already shining, ready to apply buffs to the entire army at any moment.
The allied forces' greatest reliance, however, is the Angel Soul Masters distributed among the various squads! Dressed in white robes and wielding sacred swords, they radiate a faint golden glow, becoming the most eye-catching presence on the front lines. Their task is not to lead the assault, but to deliver the final blow with holy power after their teammates have heavily wounded the demons, completely purifying these evil creatures!
"Roar—!"
Just as the allied forces' formation is set, a dark tide of demons surges from the horizon like a bursting dam! Thousands of Lesser Demons let out piercing shrieks, waving their claws and spitting acid; Dreg Demons and Blade Demons are mixed among them, their bone blades glinting coldly. Further back, massive Hell Demons let out earth-shaking roars, driving the lower-order demons to charge! Devilish Qi rolls, blotting out the sun!
"Hold firm! Fire!"
At the command, the control system and long-range attack system Soul Masters at the rear of the line strike first! Countless Soul skills lights shine—wind blades, fireballs, ice spikes, lightning, vines... crashing into the demon tide like a violent storm!
Boom, boom, boom!
Violent explosions bloom within the demon swarm, instantly clearing large areas. However, the number of demons is simply too great! As the ones in front fall, those behind immediately continue the charge over the corpses of their kind, appearing endless! Even more terrifying, many demons hit by Spirit Abilities that seem heavily wounded can still struggle to their feet and continue the attack with mangled bodies, as long as their cores aren't destroyed or they aren't purified by holy power! Their Life force is heart-stoppingly tenacious!
"Front row, hold! attack system, strike!"
Bang!
The demon vanguard slams violently into the allied forces' solid defense! The shield wall shakes violently, letting out a dull, thunderous roar. The heavy-armored Soul Masters bellow, their Soul Power erupting as they desperately hold against the impact. Soul Masters of the Black Tortoise Sect transform into giant tortoises, stubbornly withstanding the heavy blows of the Hell Demons.
"Kill!"
attack system Soul Masters charge out from the gaps in the shield wall. With flashes of blades and swords, the strikes of hammers and axes, they entwine with the charging demons in a lethal struggle. The battle instantly reaches a fever pitch! Blood spatters, limbs fly, and the sounds of roars, clashing weapons, and Soul skills explosions blend together as the battlefield turns into a meat grinder!
"Angelic Holy Light, Purify!"
At the critical moment, the Angel Soul Masters scattered among the squads play a decisive role! Whenever a demon is heavily wounded and falls, a beam of golden Holy Light descends in time, precisely enveloping it! Amidst sizzling sounds, the demons let out shrill screams as their bodies dissolve as if doused in strong acid, eventually turning to ash, never to be resurrected!
"Well done!"
"Fire attribute Soul Masters, focus fire on that Blade Demon!"
With the Angel Soul Masters delivering the "finishing blows," the allied forces' killing efficiency increases greatly. Although the purification effect of fire attribute Soul Masters is far inferior to the Angel Martial Soul, flames still deal extra damage to demons. By concentrating their fire, they can also quickly eliminate heavily wounded demons.
However, the demon army does not consist only of low-order cannon fodder. Soon, dozens of powerful high-order demons join the fray! Like sharp knives, they easily tear through parts of the allied defense line, causing significant casualties.
"We can't let them break the formation! Titled Douluo, join me in the fight!" Yu Boxuan roars, his body swelling as he transforms into a massive Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. With a sweep of his dragon claws, he instantly crushes a Soul Douluo-level demon that had charged into the ranks into meat paste!
"Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, Quake!" Sect Master wields the massive Clear Sky Hammer and strikes down. The earth cracks, and a terrifying shockwave shatters dozens of surrounding demons!
Green Peak Douluo merges with his sword, the sword light like a dragon; wherever it passes, demons lose their heads. Feng Zaiyun's sword transforms into a gale, sweeping across the battlefield. Sect Master manifests his White Tiger, his roar startling the heavens. Shi Feng transforms into a Black Tortoise, withstanding the most violent attacks.
Even more shocking is that these Titled Douluos are unhesitatingly activating their massive Martial Soul True Bodies! Dragons dozens of meters long, giants twenty meters tall, massive sacred swords, and enormous black tortoises... they dominate the battlefield! Every attack shakes the earth and clears vast areas!
This is the confidence brought by the Spirit Core! Their powerful endurance means they don't have to worry about Soul Power consumption, allowing them to unleash their strongest forms and maximize killing efficiency! The terrifying combat power of Titled Douluos is displayed to the fullest at this moment! Like stabilizing pillars, they firmly hold the allied forces' ground and lead them forward step by step!
The battle is incredibly tragic, with Soul Masters falling every moment, but even more demons are purified and slain. The allied forces act like a massive meat grinder, slowly and steadily crushing through the demon lines, advancing toward the gate of hell in the center of the valley!
As the allied forces push deeper, the demons' resistance grows stronger. Finally, the fourteen Great Demon Knights riding Nightmare steeds appear! They form a charging formation, like a black torrent of steel, launching a desperate assault on the core of the allied position! Wherever they go, men and horses are overturned!
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, follow me to meet the enemy!" The Thunder Saint Dragon transformed from Yu Boxuan lets out a long roar, leading several Titled Douluo Elders of the Sect to boldly confront seven Great Demon Knights!
"Clear Sky Sect, kill!" Sect Master roars, the Clear Sky Hammer carrying a sky-shattering momentum as it smashes toward the other seven Great Demon Knights!
A Peak duel erupts! Dragon roars and hammer rings echo as Devilish Qi surges; the intensity of the battle instantly escalates!
At the same time, three Azure Flame Demons hidden behind the demon army begin to spit out massive emerald-green fireballs. Like meteors, they crash into the allied positions, causing large-scale destruction!
"Vile beasts, cease your arrogance!" Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen have been waiting for a long time! The two transform into golden and black streaks of light, instantly breaking through the demon obstruction to attack the three Azure Flame Demons! Holy sword light and overbearing hammer shadows shatter the emerald flames one after another!
Experts from all sides of the alliance have engaged their formidable foes! The battlefield is divided into several combat zones, and the sounds of slaughter fill the air!
And now, at the very core of the battlefield, in front of the gate of hell, the final duel has also begun!
Qian Chongxiao holds the Angelic Sacred Sword, the Holy Light around him as dazzling as the sun. He releases the terrifying pressure of a Limit Douluo without reservation, walking step by step toward the massive gate of hell. His target is clear—the Demon King Salvos!
"Salvos! Get out here and meet your death!" Qian Chongxiao's voice is like thunder, his sacred sword pointed directly at the portal.
"Roar! Birdman, you're looking for death!" The blood-light of the gate of hell surges as the massive figure of the Demon King Salvos squeezes through the passage once more! Sensing the threat from the sacred sword in Qian Chongxiao's hand, it dares not be careless, swinging its Hellfire Great Axe as it roars and charges!
Boom!
The sacred sword and fire axe collide again! Holy and evil powers clash frantically, erupting in an even more terrifying energy storm than before! This time, Qian Chongxiao holds nothing back, his swordplay incomparably sharp, pushing the power of the Angelic Sacred Sword to its limit, keeping Salvos completely suppressed.
"Little Friend Yu, now's the time!" While attacking with all his might, Qian Chongxiao sends a voice transmission to Yu Yuanchen, who is hidden on the flank.
Yu Yuanchen's gaze sharpens, knowing the time has come! He no longer hides, his figure flickering as he appears at the edge of the combat circle. But he doesn't immediately strike with full force; instead, according to the plan, he only displays power slightly stronger than a normal Level 98 Peak Super Douluo. With his fingers acting as a sword, condensed purple-gold lightning bolts shoot out like spirit snakes, harassing Salvos from the side to complement Qian Chongxiao's frontal assault.
His attack angles are tricky and their power is significant. Every time Salvos tries to deal with Qian Chongxiao's onslaught, Yu Yuanchen's attacks arrive, forcing the demon to split its attention and making it look quite pathetic.
"Another ant! Die!" Salvos roars, several more charred wounds appearing on its body. But it is filled with shock and rage; the attack power of this newly appeared human is also so formidable. Moreover, the destructive aura contained within that lightning makes it feel a faint sense of unease. One must know that the power of destruction is the perfect weapon against monsters with tenacious Life force like itself.
Under Qian Chongxiao's storm-like onslaught and Yu Yuanchen's elusive harassment, although Salvos manages to hold on thanks to its thick hide and Hellfire, it is constantly overwhelmed. It has completely fallen into a disadvantage, possessing only the power to parry and no strength to counterattack! Its scales are shattered, lava-like blood flows continuously, and its aura begins to falter.
"No! These two humans are too powerful! Especially that old man's sword!" The thought of retreat sprouts in Salvos's heart. It came here to plunder, not to throw its Life away. Seeing that the situation is untenable, survival is the priority!
"Curse you! I will remember today's grudge! Once I recover, I will bathe your Sects in blood!" Salvos feints with an axe swing, forcing Qian Chongxiao back a step, then turns to rush toward the nearby gate of hell!
"Want to leave? Too late!"
At the moment Salvos turns, a sharp light bursts from Yu Yuanchen's eyes! This was the opportunity he had been waiting for!
The moment when the opponent's mind is relaxed as it flees with all its might, and its defense is at its weakest!
"Seventh Soul skills, Thunder Sacred Dragon True Body—Possession!"
Buzz!
Yu Yuanchen no longer suppresses his cultivation, and his terrifying Level 98 Peak Soul Power erupts like a volcano! A set of magnificent, majestic, and streamlined purple-gold full-body battle armor instantly covers him! Lightning patterns flow upon the armor, and dragon prestige surges! His entire aura undergoes a World-shaking transformation, as if he has become an ancient dragon god in charge of lightning! That boundless pressure even instantly overshadowed both Qian Chongxiao and Salvos in their fight!
"What?!" Qian Chongxiao's pupils constricted, and waves of shock crashed through his heart! "Isn't he only at the Peak of Level 98? This aura... how can it be so powerful?!" He only then realized that Yu Yuanchen probably hadn't used his full strength before! This boy's strength was likely far beyond his own!
Salvos was even more terrified! From that suddenly erupting terrifying aura, it felt a fatal threat! Escape! It had to escape back through the gate immediately!
"Eighth Soul skills, Holy Dragon Prison Tribulation!"
How could Yu Yuanchen allow it to escape? He formed hand seals and pushed forward! In an instant, the World changed color! A massive pillar of light over ten meters in diameter, composed entirely of purple-gold lightning, descended like a spear of judgment from the nine heavens, completely enveloping Salvos and the hundred-meter space around it!
Inside the light pillar, it was as if a World of its own had formed! The flow of time became extremely slow, and space felt like a mire! Salvos discovered in horror that its movements had become incredibly sluggish, as if it were an insect trapped in amber; every inch it moved was agonizingly difficult! The gate of hell, which was just within reach, now seemed as distant as the horizon!
"No—!" Salvos let out a desperate roar, frantically driving its Hellfire in an attempt to break free from this lightning prison!
"Ninth Spirit Ability, Dragon Kings Judgment! Tenfold—Thunder Spear Punishing Evil!"
Yu Yuanchen's voice was as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice, devoid of any emotion. He held his hands out, and the Spirit Core within his body spun frantically at an unprecedented speed. His boundless Soul Power, bloodline force, Spiritual Power, and his comprehension of the lightning Law all merged into it! A lightning spear several meters long, entirely purple-gold and wrapped in destructive black electric arcs, condensed in his hands!
Where the spear pointed, space shattered inch by inch!
Go!
Yu Yuanchen swung his arm violently! The lightning spear transformed into a streak of purple-black lightning that tore through the Void Realm. At a speed exceeding thought, it instantly crossed space and shot with unerring precision into the lightning pillar, piercing through the protective demon flames Salvos had desperately condensed, and pinned itself firmly into the center of its chest—into that beating demon heart!
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Salvos's hideous expression froze on its face, its scarlet eyes filled with unbelievable fear and despair. It looked down at the lightning spear in its chest that had completely stripped it of all Life force, opened its mouth, but could not make a sound.
The next moment...
Rumble—!!!!!!
An earth-shaking explosion rang out! The destructive energy contained within the lightning spear fully erupted! Salvos's massive demon body was torn apart from the inside by endless purple-gold lightning, disintegrated, and finally completely annihilated! Not even a speck of ash remained!
Demon King Salvos has fallen!
The battlefield fell into an instant silence. Whether human or demon, everyone was so shocked by this sudden, crushing fall of a king that they forgot to fight.
Qian Chongxiao held the Angelic Sacred Sword, staring blankly at the slowly dissipating lightning ahead and the blue-clad youth standing proudly in the air with an aura like a god or demon. His heart was filled with mixed emotions, which finally turned into a long sigh and a touch of indescribable relief.
Yu Yuanchen slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at the gate of hell, which had begun to shake violently and flash with bloody light due to the loss of its master. His calm voice spread across the battlefield:
"The Demon King has been executed! All troops, hear my command, follow me—annihilate the demons!"
