Chapter 729: Demon Emperor Charges

In the Xia calendar year 6265, Endless Sea

The Shenwu Demon Emperor sneaked at the bottom of the sea, its body shrank to the size of a small turtle, surrounded by hundreds of sea demons of the fourth rank or higher who also shrank in size.

They hid their presence so well that even several observation and guard stations in the ocean couldn’t detect them, easily avoiding these stations.

"Lord Demon Emperor, ahead is Zhenhai City."

Approaching Zhenhai City, the Shenwu Demon Emperor and their group of demons stopped, sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations of Zhenhai City. The city had completed its array coverage with a powerful formation.

"The array level of Zhenhai City is not low. Let’s attack together, ensuring to break through its defense formation quickly. Once the formation is broken, throw out the bombs from our storage bag. Then, let’s disrupt the Zhou Liao and move towards Qingyun. Remember, no matter how many humans come out, we must keep moving at high speed without stopping. Then, head south to meet with the Peng Bird Demon Emperor and Fire Scale Demon Emperor."

Shenwu Demon Emperor said to the demons, who nodded and agreed.

Seeing the demons ready, the Shenwu Demon Emperor instantly returned to its true form, appearing as a giant turtle thousands of meters long. The moment it appeared, the alarm in Zhenhai City went off, as its large body could easily be detected by radar.

As the alarm sounded, Zhenhai City’s defenses automatically activated. The artificial intelligence was mobilized, drawing more spiritual power to strengthen the defense formation. Missiles were launched from the missile base to attack.

However, Shenwu Demon Emperor paid no attention to these tactics. He summoned his turtle shell and launched an attack towards Zhenhai City.

"Boom!"

The impact of the turtle shell caused Zhenhai City’s defensive formation to tremble violently, feeling as though it might collapse. Shortly after, attacks from hundreds of Demon Kings also arrived.

"Crash!"

The defensive formation of Zhenhai City only held up for a few seconds before shattering. Missiles were approaching at that moment. Shenwu Demon Emperor waved his hand and a large amount of water arrows appeared, destroying most of the missiles.

"Beware, the demons are attacking!"

"Activate the area formation!"

"Run!"

Zhenhai City was one of the most important cities in Zhou Liao. It was guarded by two Nascent Soulcultivators and at least dozens of golden core cultivators. They were already on high alert and as soon as the formation was activated, they knew the enemy was approaching.

One Nascent Soul wanted to intercept, but when his divine sense scanned Shenwu Demon Emperor, his face changed drastically, he shouted and ran away, then turned and left.

But it was too late, Shenwu Demon Emperor spat out a water arrow from his mouth, piercing through him directly.

Inside Zhenhai City, there are many formations arranged by regions, all activated at this moment, especially in some cultivator districts where there are comprehensive defense mechanisms.

However, these defense mechanisms can only guard against ordinary enemies. Shenwu Demon Emperor didn’t even use his divine techniques. His huge body flew through Zhenhai City, damaging numerous formations and causing many tall buildings to collapse, turning Zhenhai City into a hellish place instantly.

The other Demon Kings had started hunting cultivators in the city. The flesh and blood of cultivators were a great nourishment for them, the higher the cultivation level, the better.

"Do not linger in battle, head west along the banks of the Qing River."

Shenwu Demon Emperor, not very keen on slaughter, immediately instructed the other Demon Kings.

Hundreds of Demon Kings immediately split into two teams, flying along the north and south banks of the Qing River. Whenever they spotted factories or cities, they would attack and throw a large number of bombs.

Most of these bombs were made by human captives from Fangzhang Continent, some were captured on the battlefield, and they were all kept in stock in large quantities.

······

When the Shenwu Demon Emperor appeared, Lin Jiang received a message right away because he had control over the satellite, and the artificial intelligence sounded an alarm.

Lin Jiang activated the alarm in Haigang City, and authorized the artificial intelligence to take over the city’s defense, activating the defense formation to its maximum.

"There are demons in the sea."

Cao Ying expanded her consciousness and quickly discovered demons hiding in the sea, bypassing the outer guard posts. The disadvantage of Zhenhai City was the lack of high-level cultivators who could not even detect the demons hidden in the sea.

"The war has begun, Cao Ying. Fight outside the city."

Lin Jiang immediately ordered the artificial intelligence to scan for enemy presence using Haigang City’s radar. Cao Ying cooperated by guiding with her expanded consciousness.

"We’ve been spotted, attack!"

The Peng Bird Demon Emperor lurked underwater, and when Cao Ying’s consciousness swept by, he immediately sensed it and knew he had been discovered.

Since he was found out, there was no reason to hide anymore. He didn’t know if Shenwu Demon Emperor had made a move yet, but it didn’t matter much.

"Embarking on a great journey."

Peng Bird Demon Emperor used his magic directly. With a flap of his wings, a sea of wind blades flew towards Haigang City, accompanied by a tornado.

"Intercept!"

Lin Jiang immediately ordered to intercept. Haigang City is very large, with tens of millions of people. The defense formation of the city can only protect the urban area. The suburbs also have numerous factories and residents. If not intercepted, they would hardly survive.

A large number of cultivators flew out from Haigang City, including Soul Changing and Void Achieving cultivators, because the teleportation array connecting Shen Continent and Fangzhang Continent is located in Haigang City.

"Peng Bird Demon Emperor, Fire Scale Demon Emperor, come up to the sky. I’ll take you both on."

Cao Ying appeared in front of Peng Bird Demon Emperor and immediately thrust her sword.

"Human race’s Tao Achieving, I’ll have a match with you."

Peng Bird Demon Emperor met Cao Ying in battle, while Fire Scale Demon Emperor headed towards Haigang City with the clear goal of destroying the humans’ industry and weakening their war potential.

"Fire Scale Demon Emperor, we meet again."

Lin Jiang appeared in front of Fire Scale Demon Emperor and blocked his way.

"It’s you again. This time, I won’t let you escape."

"Hehe, it seems like you were the one running away last time."

Lin Jiang smirked, didn’t waste time, and directly engaged in battle. Compared to their last encounter, Lin Jiang had improved significantly, using four major techniques and the Lamp Burning Technique against Fire Scale Demon Emperor.

The other demon tribes led by the two Demon Emperors continued to attack Haigang City. They even pushed further into Huaxia, prompting the cultivators of Haigang City to fight desperately to stop them.

Meanwhile, deep in the Endless Sea, more sea demon tribes were gathering and advancing towards Shen Continent. The numerous military bases across Shen Continent were on high alert, with missile bases opening up and launching missiles in response.

········

Fangzhang Continent, Tianya Mountain Base

Lin Hongcong and his team urgently gathered at the command center and saw the satellite footage of the battle in Haigang City.

"What should we do, speak up."

"Go back for rescue."

"No, going back for rescue means being led by the demon tribe. Besides, what about Tianya Mountain? There are millions of troops here. If our leaders leave, the rest will be in trouble."

"Then what do you suggest? If we don’t go back for rescue, Huaxia will be destroyed. All our people are in Huaxia."

Someone roared, awakened for nearly two hundred years, their descendants were numerous, all in Huaxia. Emotionally, they were all ordinary people. They could be indifferent to outsiders, but could not be ruthless to their own blood relatives.

"The demon tribe wants to control the pace of the battlefield. Once the fighting spreads to Huaxia, even if we win, it will be a pyrrhic victory. We must regain control of the battlefield. Let’s strike back."

"No, the Demon Queen hasn’t appeared yet. Once we strike, without Tao Achieving to hold them back, we will certainly lose."

Lin Hongcong refused directly, saying that Demon Queen is stronger than the usual Demon Emperor, and their Eight Xuantian Armor Formation may not be able to contain Demon Queen, putting them at risk of being killed easily.

"None of these options work, we need to come up with a plan quickly before it’s too late."

"Let’s launch the technology weapons, it’s worth the risk even if it exposes our observation station."

Lin Hongcong mentioned that the information about the observation station is highly confidential, although not much of a secret to them in the Demon Domain, but once used, the Demon Clan will definitely notice.

"That’s settled then, I’ll give the order immediately. Also, find a way to contact Ancestor Lin. We need his authorization to communicate with the Space Fleet. Our current strength is not enough to stop the Demon Clan, we must rely on the Space Fleet to take the battle to space."

"Alright, I will contact Ancestor Lin."

Lin Hongcong, being closer with Lin Jiang compared to others, was more intimate due to being a member of the Lin family and addressing him as the Sixth Patriarch.

One minute later, the Demon Domain map drawn by the observation station was handed over to the command center. The artificial intelligence adjusted the parameters of the major cannon groups based on the Demon Domain map.

"Fire!"

With one command from the commander, all the cannons at the base started firing, along with numerous missile launchers and spiritual energy weapons, all in action.

"Boom, boom."

These weapons pierced the sky, broke through layers of demon clouds, and accurately bombed the nests of various high-ranking demons.

This bombing left all the high-ranking demons gathered around the Demon Queen in shock.

"My child."

"My treasure."

"My wife…"

"·····"

The demons all exclaimed, as it was their stronghold, where their wives, children, and treasures were, now turned into a sea of fire.

"Demon Queen, this is not right. How can the human tribe bombard the Demon King’s lair so accurately?"

"What do you mean…?"

"There must be someone guiding them. Our demonic cloud formation has been broken."

"I will give you the time it takes to burn an incense stick to investigate. After that, I will take action."

Demon Queen Lin Fanghua said. After the Heavenly Fox Demon King spoke, she also felt that there was a real problem. She just didn’t know how the human tribe did it. Now she doesn’t have time to investigate. After the incense stick burns out, she will launch an attack. If the people from Tianya Mountain come back to rescue her, she will break Tianya Mountain. If not, she will send someone to distract Tianya Mountain while finding another way to enter the Shen Continent, making it hard for the humans to focus on both ends.
