Immortal Venerable's Order
Chapter 164 - 163: The Great Battle (1)

Chapter 164: Chapter 163: The Great Battle (1)

The Tengshe Snake hurriedly called out, "Holy Venerable, mighty and domineering!"

The Yihu followed suit, shouting, "Holy Venerable, mighty and domineering!"

For a moment, the three million-strong army shouted in unison, "Holy Venerable, mighty..."

The demon army’s voices shook the heavens, and killing intent filled the air. Creatures thousands of miles away felt the breath of death, and all prostrated on the ground, not daring to breathe.

The blood-red twilight gradually faded, and the army of the Dragon Abyss Sect, led by Chuyunzi, finally broke through the miasma-filled jungle and arrived above Cloud City.

Yan Rufeng withdrew his Divine Sense and smiled slightly, "It’s time to inform them to encircle the Heavenly Demon army..."

Chuyunzi came before Yan Rufeng and cupped his hands, "Reporting to the Sect Master, the Heavenly Demon army is now less than three hundred miles from Cloud City."

Hovering in mid-air, Yan Rufeng smiled indifferently, "Elder Chuyunzi, you have worked hard."

Chuyunzi respectfully said, "Sect Master, you overpraise me. Slaying demons and eliminating evils is not hard work..."

The Heavenly Demon, leading the demon army in hot pursuit of Chuyunzi, had not realized they had already entered Yan Rufeng’s encirclement.

When the Heavenly Demon spotted Yan Rufeng, he, who had thought himself invincible, waved to halt the army, pondering, "How could Yan Rufeng appear here?"

The Tengshe Snake cupped his hands and asked, "Holy Venerable, why have we stopped chasing?"

"Yan Rufeng has finally shown himself," the Heavenly Demon roared angrily.

"Holy Venerable, who is Yan Rufeng?" The Yihu stepped forward and asked.

Gritting his teeth, the Heavenly Demon, his face contorted with fury, said word by word, "It was he who forced me into this barren place of Southern Yue."

The Tengshe Snake angrily said, "Holy Venerable, permit me to go and capture Yan Rufeng to vent your anger!"

The Heavenly Demon’s fierce gaze looked ahead, and he loudly ordered, "All soldiers hear my command, whoever captures Yan Rufeng’s head will be rewarded with the Demon God Technique!"

The Demon God Technique was the Cultivation Technique of the Heavenly Demon, an incredibly powerful technique that granted an undying Demon Body, lifespan equal to the heavens and the earth.

With the Demon God Technique as a reward, the clouds above Cloud City roiled instantly. Demon energy blotted out the sun, and the sounds of shouting and beast roars interwove. Various demon energies and blood-red light illuminated each other, making the entire city a battlefield at once.

Unfazed, Yan Rufeng gave an order, and the hundred-thousand-strong army behind him summoned their Spiritual Beasts, confronting the thirty million-strong army of the Heavenly Demon head-on.

Above the battlefield, various spell attacks crisscrossed. Soldiers, their eyes red with anger, controlled their Spirit Swords, aiming at the heads of their enemies. The speed of Flying Sword, the frenzy of the Spiritual Beasts, the agility of the Dragon Abyss Sect disciples had never been seen before today.

A quarter-hour later, the first wave of attacking demons was all reverted to their original forms, transforming into piles of demon beast corpses.

"Roar, roar..."

Seeing this, the Heavenly Demon, his eyes red with fury, shouted angrily, "Yan Rufeng, today you will die!"

"Haha..."

Yan Rufeng laughed heartily, "Heavenly Demon, I am right here. If you want my life, come and take it!"

"Roar, haha..."

The Heavenly Demon laughed loudly, "Yan Rufeng, though your Dragon Abyss Sect’s cultivation level is generally higher than my demon army, you should see clearly, I have thirty million troops. Even if I let them stand still, your forces would all perish from exhaustion."

"Heh heh!"

Yan Rufeng sneered, "Heavenly Demon, look around and see who’s talking!"

As soon as Yan Rufeng’s words fell, the Heavenly Demon army was instantly surrounded by six hundred thousand Demon Extermination Army soldiers. The battlefield, both in the sky and on the ground, was so tightly sealed that not even a fly could escape.

The two sides stared each other down fiercely. Neither the Heavenly Demon retreated nor charged. The Heavenly Demon, like a lion, glared at Yan Rufeng.

"Haha..."

The Heavenly Demon laughed and then shouted angrily, "Yan Rufeng, you indeed have great means. I did not expect to fall into your trap again, but I am not convinced!"

The Heavenly Demon’s voice echoed across the battlefield, and apart from the howling wind, it was extremely quiet.

Yan Rufeng calmly said, "Heavenly Demon, you have committed heinous deeds and deserve to die. What’s there to be unconvinced about?"

"Haha..."

The Heavenly Demon laughed, "You say I have committed heinous deeds, haha..."

"Heavenly Demon, what are you laughing at?" Yan Rufeng asked.

"What am I laughing at?"

The Heavenly Demon stared at Yan Rufeng and shouted sternly, "The world speaks of equality and the virtue of the heavens saving lives. Where was this equality and virtue when your Human Clan slaughtered my Demon World ten thousand years ago?"

Yan Rufeng did not retort; he spoke softly, "Because you are demons, viewing life as worthless. Is it useful to reason with you?"

"You can slaughter demons, yet I, the Heavenly Demon, cannot slaughter the Human Clan? Today, I will kill all of you hypocritical humans."

The Heavenly Demon issued orders to his thirty-million-strong demon army. As soon as the armies clashed, the ground trembled, fierce winds rose, and stones flew. The cries of battle reached thousands of miles.

In this battlefield, the Heavenly Soldier Army led by Ye Lingtian was incredibly terrifying. Under the domain attacks of tens of thousands of Divine Separation Stage experts, the demon army was frozen to death, burned in infernos, trapped in the Xuantian Sword Formation, or struck dead by Tribulation Lightning...

The demon army’s death toll increased by tens of thousands every second. After a quarter-hour, the demon army was entirely annihilated, and Cloud City was awash with blood. The bodies of various demon beasts piled into mountains. Even the Heavenly Demon’s Demon Body was shattered, sealed by tens of thousands of restrictions.

This demon elimination campaign was a one-sided slaughter. The Demon Extermination Army, apart from some soldiers being drained of Spiritual Energy, suffered no casualties.

Ye Lingtian approached Yan Rufeng, saluted, and loudly reported, "Reporting to the Young Commander, the Heavenly Demon army has been entirely destroyed. The Heavenly Demon has been shattered and sealed as demonic energy. Awaiting your orders!"

Yan Rufeng had been staring at the sealed demonic energy of the Heavenly Demon and only then withdrew his gaze. He said, "Lingtian, I now order you to lead the Heavenly Soldier Army to Southern Yue and rescue the people from their plight."

"At your command!"

After Ye Lingtian left, Zhang Zongyan, Blood Slaughter, and Chuyunzi also left with their armies after receiving orders from Yan Rufeng...

The demonic energy that the Heavenly Demon had transformed into kept churning within the restrictions. Yan Rufeng was pondering deeply, "This Heavenly Demon is truly hard to exterminate. When he escaped years ago, his demonic energy wasn’t this intense. He must not escape again this time..."

Yan Rufeng had not looked directly at Wen Tong the entire time, which made her very angry.

Wen Tong had all the soldiers board the Cosmic Battleship, then pouted as she came before Yan Rufeng.

"Yan Rufeng, I’ve been here for so long, and you haven’t spoken a word to me. Am I that unimportant?" Wen Tong angrily questioned.

"Wen Tong, you haven’t left yet..."

Yan Rufeng finally looked up at Wen Tong.
