Chapter 899: 685 Demon Clan’s Last Resort (5600 words for monthly pass)

The so-called Great Cycle Star Array is the transformation of the Cycle’s stars into a vast ladle that encompasses all things and refines all things.

Boom!

Intense pressure assailed from all directions, rendering the bodies of Bai Ze and other demon gods immobile, their speed greatly slowed.

Above the Star Array, the void grinding wheel carried the aura of erasing everything, capturing the demon gods within it and slowly starting to turn.

In an instant, endless starlight twisted along with the void, acting upon the bodies of the demon gods, threatening to crush their bodies and refine them completely.

The demon gods were Innate Divine Demons, with incredibly strong physical bodies; however, at that moment, under the simultaneous refinement of the void grinding wheel and the Great Cycle Star Array, their bodies twisted like paper mache as blood splattered out, emitting a crimson divine aura that stained the starry sky red.

Whoosh!

Deep within the array, Jiang Chen once again stimulated the power of space, starting to fold space and form a smooth mirror. Within the mirror, fifty-two identical demon gods emerged, bearing the same appearance as Bai Ze and others. They each brandished their divine abilities and charged at the demon gods.

With the endorsement of the Minor Cycle Star Array, Jiang Chen seemed to have become the master of space, freely manipulating the power of space and displaying the profound mysteries of this path.

This sensation was too wonderful; Jiang Chen felt as if he were omnipotent, as all kinds of divine abilities related to the void were at his fingertips, easily executed.

At that moment, his power was comparable to that of the Great Divine Transcendents.

"It’s a pity the Minor Cycle Star Array only possesses the capabilities of the void, not those of time. Otherwise, Bai Ze and the other demon gods would have already been refined by the power of the array," he reflected.

Jiang Chen raised his head, looked towards the center of the Star Array, and saw Bai Ze and the other demon gods being beaten senseless by their mirrored selves, their bodies showing terrifying cracks on the verge of shattering.

As their blood flowed out, it was immediately refined by the Star Array and the void grinding wheel, becoming the nourishment for the strengthening of the Great Cycle Divine Palace.

The so-called mirrors were an extremely advanced application of the way of the void, folding the void to create two opposing sides, thus replicating an identical existence.

Those figures identical to Bai Ze and the other demon gods were their mirrored selves, replicated by Jiang Chen using the power of space. Because they possessed only the capabilities of the void and not time, these mirrored selves had the same strength as their originals.

If the Great Cycle Star Array had been in control of the power of space-time, it could have replicated the future selves of these demon gods, who would be even more powerful than them, easily crushing their foes.

"Something’s not quite right!"

As the battle waged on, Jiang Chen gradually became aware that something was amiss.

He compared the combat strength of these demon gods with the situations recorded in the heritage of Emperor Xi and found that, after countless years, their strength had not improved at all, remaining the same as in ancient times.

How is that possible!

From the Ancient Era to the present, two ages had passed, at the very least millions of years. Even a pig, given such a length of time, would show progress, let alone these demon gods born from Innate Divine Demons.

Even without cultivating, squandering their existence away, their innate abilities as Divine Demons meant their power would naturally increase as time passed, becoming stronger. It was impossible for them to show no progress whatsoever.

Before attacking the Demon Clan, Jiang Chen had even prepared for the possibility that among the ten great demon gods, some might have broken through the Daoist Venerable Realm and become Quasi-Saints. However, the outcome was far beyond his expectations.

After countless years, the strength of these demon gods had not advanced in the slightest; their combat abilities had remained the same since the Ancient Era.

Therefore, the question arose, what had they been doing all these years that resulted in no change in their strength?

Jiang Chen was puzzled. This didn’t make sense, and he sensed that there might be a great conspiracy hidden within.

"My lord, we have come to assist you!"

Seeing a group of demon gods trapped below, on the Beijulu Continent, the remaining Demon Clan, under the leadership of numerous Dao Monarchs, rapidly formed an array, ready to aid the demon gods.

"Activate the Great Cycle Star Array!"

Jiang Chen used the Minor Cycle Star Array against the Demon Clan, and they responded with the Great Cycle Star Array.

This was known as breaking one array with another!

Boom!

The Demon Clan was divided into three hundred and sixty tribes, each corresponding to all the Cycle’s stars apart from the five Supreme Stars. At that moment, under the leadership of the Demon Clan Dao Monarchs, these tribes swiftly assembled, coordinating with each other to set up the Great Cycle Star Array.

Whoosh!

Three hundred and sixty beams of starlight burst forth, transforming into starry shadows that swirled around, gradually evolving into a starry sky. The power of space-time emerged, summoning the ancient spirits of the Demon Clan back, turning them into fighting shadows.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Tremendous momentum erupted, and one could see three hundred and sixty ancient figures emerging from the past, standing in the starry sky, gazing towards Jiang Chen and the others.

These were the foundations of the Demon Clan, the three hundred and sixty Cycle demon gods. Apart from a few dozen, the rest had all fallen in battle, perishing together with the Witch Clan’s grand witches in the decisive battle between witches and demons.

However, the Innate Dao Sovereign existed throughout the River of Time, undying and unyielding. Their present and future selves may have fallen, but their past selves had not perished and still reigned supreme in the ancient heavens and earth.

At this moment, with the collective effort of the entire Demon Clan, the Great Cycle Star Array was arranged, wielding the power of space-time to pull all these Cycle demon gods, both living and fallen, from the past to the present, allowing them to fight for the future of the Demon Clan.
