Chapter 1257 - 1257 78 Beneath the Abyss

Chapter 1257: Chapter 78 Beneath the Abyss Chapter 1257: Chapter 78 Beneath the Abyss The situation was unprecedentedly urgent. With the powerful onslaught from the Abyss, the pressure on the demon clans had naturally become greater.

Fortunately, they had responded appropriately from the start and, with reinforcements from their own expert demons continuously arriving, Cat Emperor and the others had managed to cope without appearing flustered.

Especially after Cat Emperor divided the existing forces into ten groups, each group only had to hold their position for one hour, then they would rest and recuperate, adjusting their condition. Thus, they took turns in combat, always retaining the upper hand with their striking force at explosive levels!

Having sufficient time to rest and recuperate, they could maintain a continuous, maximized output rhythm.

All creatures that burst out from the Abyss were slain on the spot.

“This explosion is no ordinary event; there must be something fishy going on.”

Cat Emperor, who had been supervising the battle from the front, shook the bits of flesh and blood off himself, finally feeling somewhat refreshed, and said solemnly, “The previous attacks from the Abyss, though brutal, would retreat once they saw the futility of their efforts. There has never been such mad tactics before; this is clearly a reckless disregard for life, a true ‘fight to the death’!”

Peng Wanli also spoke softly, “How could I not be aware of this? You are supervising from a slightly further position. Those demonic fiends from the Abyss feel unusually eerie to me, as if something terrifying is forcing them to fight desperately and burst out, even though they know the chances of survival are slim. Still, they chose to fight to the death, facing certain doom if they didn’t come out!”

The other Demon Emperors who had come to assist, all stood on a high spot not far from the eruption point of the Abyss, taking advantage of the terrain to keep an eye on the battlefield.

Upon hearing Peng Wanli’s remarks, all the demons fell into thoughtful silence.

“It makes no sense; what kind of terrifying thing could drive so many fiends to act like this?”

Dragon Emperor frowned, attentively watching below.

He watched as the latest wave of Abyssal beasts that had emerged were jointly attacked by the frontline demons. With one wave of attacks, they turned into scattered flesh and blood, falling like a rain of blood.

However, before this flesh and blood could even hit the ground, it was already devoured by another batch of Abyssal beasts that had just emerged.

Devouring while charging forth.

The sight was filled with bloodshed, all gory and dripping with blood, splattering everywhere, especially around the mouths and hands of the demons, a sight horrifying to behold.

It sickened all the Demon Emperors.

After all, it was the flesh and blood of their own kind, their own clan, their own kin, and they ate it without any waste…

“As for other oddities, they are not nonexistent. Strictly speaking, all the fiends that emerged this time were belonging to the beast category; there has been no semblance of warriors from the Abyssal clan in the past battles, let alone the higher echelons of these fiends.”

“How is that strange? Are the combat capabilities of beasts inferior? Beasts are even more fierce and blood-thirsty than the Abyssal warriors.”

“No, the single outbreak of beasts must have its reasons; we don’t know what happened on their side, but I insist on this judgment; there must be some hidden reasons behind it.”

Peng Wanli sighed, “But speaking of which, we really don’t need to know what happened on their side now. We just need to kill one when one comes out, that’s enough. Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter. They are all demonic fiends anyway; the more we can kill, the better.”

“Also, the current rotation of ten groups here is enough to handle this. Other Demon Emperors should quickly return to their own domains, gather experts, and rush to the other eruption points of the Abyss. Don’t forget, places like ours in the demon realm, there are at least three locations.”

“Yes, even the spot overseen by the Demon King himself has started to stir, and they did not send support this time even though we came to assist.”

“There also seems to be some movement from Phoenix Clan, which is why this time, neither the main forces of Phoenix Clan nor the Peacock Clan came. They only sent a messenger to explain the situation, as the conditions on their sides might also be grim, and we might need to support them later.”

Peng Wanli pondered for a moment, then said, “Then we shouldn’t delay. Let’s leave some forces here, and send the rest in two groups to help out the other locations.”

He paused, then smiled, “If those places don’t need you, come back quickly!”

The other Demon Emperors laughed heartily, fully compliant with Peng Wanli’s commands, each acting accordingly.

…

Around the same time, near the Phoenix Clan’s Abyss defense point.

The Peacock Demon Emperor, long absent, clad in pure white clothes resembling freshly fallen snow, sat cross-legged at a high, broad vantage point, playing a seven-stringed zither placed on his lap.

His expression was extremely solemn, his fingers continuously strumming the strings, sending out circles of starry light from the sword energy.

Falling among the groups of Abyssal beasts that had erupted.

Wherever the starlight sword energy reached, flesh and blood scattered wildly, torn asunder.

With only Peacock Demon Emperor alone, he covered half the area with his power. Wherever the Seven Strings Shadowless Sword went, nothing lived.

Such were the benefits of owning a high-grade spiritual weapon.

Peacock Demon Emperor had spent his life seeking the best materials, which Feng Yin provided, even supplying him with triple the amount!

Allowing him to use them freely.

This battle could indeed be considered the most lavish he had ever fought, leaving him in high spirits.
