Chapter 556 The Great Formation Shattered

The Demon Empress saw a supreme demon-refining treasure hurled her way and let out a cold snort. Withdrawing her Demon-Slaying Immortal Sword from its strike toward Eldrin, she swung it directly at the Mirror of the Vast Heaven.

A brilliant sword radiance clashed with a mirror light, their collision tearing heaven and earth asunder. The golden-white shockwave shattered distant mountain peaks 1 after another, reducing them to endless rubble and fine dust that scattered across the firmament.

After forcing back the Mirror of the Vast Heaven (Magic Treasure) with a single sword strike, the Demon Empress sneered, "Merely a Demon-Subduing Supreme Treasure—without its master’s control, did it truly believe it could defy the heavens?"

"Clang—"

In the blink of an eye, another resplendent sword radiance slashed through the air.

The Eldrin Immortal Sword transformed into a blade of pure radiance, descending with an inexhaustible sword intent capable of cleaving heaven, earth, and the void itself. It struck directly toward the Demon Empress’s crown.

Here we go again—

The Demon Empress let out a cold sneer. A brilliant arc of lightning shot forth from between her brows—this was the Gengjin Annihilation Divine Thunder Sword, 1 of the ultimate divine abilities of the Golden Rhinoceros lineage.

After merging with the Demon Emperor's Nascent Soul, this 'Gengjin Annihilation Divine Thunder Sword' transformed into the female Demon Emperor's innate divine ability, its grade having ascended to the level of a Great Divine Ability.

Now, this divine ability blossomed forth, transforming into an ethereal immortal sword forged from divine thunder. At its keenest edge, several strands of annihilating sword qi actually bloomed.

A supreme sword technique and a Demon-Slaying Immortal Sword clashed, their formidable powers unexpectedly neutralizing each other into nothingness.

After that single sword strike, the Sky-Spanning Immortal Sword continued its descent, truly causing the Demon Empress's expression to shift slightly.

Something felt amiss in the clash just now—she sensed the Celestial Sword hadn’t exerted its full power. "The might of this immortal sword seems to surpass that of a mere lower-grade demon-slaying treasure."

The Demon Empress’s heart sank slightly, yet she couldn’t be entirely certain. Before she could gather her thoughts further, 2 more waves of overwhelming power surged across the sky.

Behold, Eldrin rose into the sky with a pair of suns and moons materializing behind him. In an instant, the radiance of dual celestial bodies blotted out the heavens, descending with unparalleled might to suppress all in its path.

"Wrong."

The Demon Empress’s brow furrowed slightly—the emergence of these 2 Refining Demons Supreme Treasures had not been part of their calculations.

The burly Demon Emperor also sensed the impending danger. Without delay, he summoned the Golden Rhinoceros Divine Spear to parry Lyra's assault, then swiftly maneuvered to join the Empress Demon Monarch in confronting several Golden Core Demon Emperors.

Lyra acted decisively, immediately reactivating the Glazed Armor of the 3 Treasures. In that instant, her magical power surged dramatically, actually forcing the burly Demon Emperor into retreat.

At that very moment, Eldrin’s gaze sharpened abruptly as he summoned his life-bound spiritual treasure, the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void.

In the blink of an eye, a force of Yin-Yang Magnetic Energy enveloped the void, firmly locking down the Golden Rhino Immortal Sword wielded by the Empress of Demons.

Her signature Golden Rhimm Immortal Sword was being suppressed, and the demon empress’s face paled drastically. Seeing the Sun-Moon Twin Wheels and the Mirror of the Vast Heaven (Magic Treasure), along with 2 other demon-refining supreme treasures, sweeping toward her, she could no longer care about the damage to her Nascent Soul Qi (Spiritual Root). Without hesitation, she burned her Nascent Soul Qi (Spiritual Root) to amplify her magical power.

In the blink of an eye, the Demon Empress’s magical power surged by over 50 percent. Relying on her overwhelming might to sweep across the heavens, she actually managed to block the onslaught of several Refining Demonic Supreme Treasures in succession.

"Now."

In that very instant, Eldrin seized the pivotal moment to merge his form with the sword, transforming into a dazzling purple dragon—a celestial blade—that slashed toward the Empress of Monsters.

The Demon Empress proved worthy of her imperial rank. In the split second between lightning flash and flint spark, she forcibly channeled her spiritual power to execute an escape art, narrowly evading Eldrin's lethal strike. Only a single arm was severed in the process.

"Roar—"

With a single strike, the demon empress let out a pained groan.

She revealed her true form, transforming into a 1000-foot behemoth that crushed everything in its path. With a hint of berserk momentum, it flattened 1 mountain range after another.

In that very instant, the burly demon emperor unleashed his Nascent Soul Qi (Spiritual Root), his spiritual power momentarily surging to rival that of a Nascent Soul, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) cultivator.

Under such immense magical power, the Golden Rhinoceros War Spear unleashed an almost inexhaustible might, actually forcing Lyra (Person Name) into retreat and shielding the Demon Empress.

"What a pity."

A single strike failed to slay the Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor (Demon Beast), and a flicker of regret crossed Eldrin's (Person Name) face.

Had the demon empress from moments ago been even slightly slower, allowing him to strike her down in 1 blow, this battle would undoubtedly have ended without suspense.

Lyra (Person Name) descended from the sky and said with a gentle smile, "No matter. Having dealt it a crippling blow with a single strike, we've already gained the upper hand."

"Hmm."

Eldrin nodded. With both demon emperors now unleashing their Nascent Soul Qi, they only needed to stall until the demon emperors exhausted their spiritual energy to gain the upper hand in battle.

Yet the Demon Empress, with her raging spiritual energy, forcibly suppressed the Refining Demon Blaze Fire within her body.

The stalwart Demon Emperor, seeing the situation had stabilized, cast a cold, murderous gaze toward Eldrin (Person Name) and roared with palpable killing intent, "All of you shall die."

Boom—

In that fleeting moment, the burly Demon Emperor unleashed his innate divine ability, transforming into a heaven-rending blade of annihilation that descended with such force that it repelled several Demon-Subduing Supreme Treasures in rapid succession.

Eldrin naturally had no intention of confronting 2 demon emperors erupting with Nascent Soul Qi head-on. Instead, they decisively summoned their flying swords and magical treasures, maneuvering with evasive grace.

But the fierce battle below had taken a dire turn. A False Infant Demon King roared with fury, unleashing a cataclysmic strike that tore through the mountain-protecting array as if rending cloth.

"Damn it."

The old clan leader and the others felt their hearts drop, but before they could gather their thoughts, they were plunged into a bitter struggle.

The strength displayed by Golden Rhino Ridge in this battle was truly astonishing. Not only did dozens of Golden Core demon kings join the fray, but 2 Nascent Soul-level demon monarchs also participated, rendering them nearly unstoppable.

At this moment, as the formation was breached, the human Golden Core cultivators—bereft of its protection—found it nearly impossible to withstand the onslaught of so many Golden Core demon kings.

The Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor (Demon Beast), seeing his forces gaining the upper hand below, roared, "My warriors, lend this emperor your strength at once!"

"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, we have come to lend our aid."

2 pseudo-Nascent Soul demon kings roared and struck, immediately leading a group of Golden Core demon kings to besiege Eldrin (Person Name).

At this moment, the 2 Demon Emperors were channeling their Nascent Soul Qi (Spiritual Root) at its peak, their mana nearly approaching the Nascent Soul, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm). They relentlessly drove back Eldrin (Person Name) and the 4 Demon-Subduing Supreme Treasures (Magic Treasure).

Now with these Golden Core demon kings blocking the retreat, both Eldrin and Lyra might suffer significant losses.

"Stop them."

Seeing the situation turning dire, the old clan leader roared furiously, summoning the Taibai Star Pearl while simultaneously activating the Golden Flame Sword to sweep across all directions, striving to hold back more of the demon kings.

Everyone understood the urgency of the situation. Without regard for spiritual energy depletion or even the destruction of their magical treasures, all present began frantically attacking to entangle the Golden Core demon kings.

Even Ethan Chen (Person Name) rushed over from Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location). Though he hadn't yet broken through to the Golden Core realm, he could no longer afford to hesitate at this critical moment.

He let out a cold sneer, ignoring the violent clash between his water and fire spiritual roots within his body. With sheer force, he unleashed the Heaven Union Twin Blades in a decisive strike, cleaving a Golden Core demon lord’s physical form clean in 2.

After that single strike, he collapsed to the ground. The water and fire spiritual roots within his body went completely berserk, tearing fissures throughout his meridians. Torrents of blood drenched his physical form.

“Ethan (Person Name)。”

Beside him, Chen Seraphina (Person Name) steadied his trembling form, her face pale with panic as she swiftly fed him several medicinal pills.

Yet despite suffering such a grievous wound, his expression remained unaltered. With unwavering determination in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and rose while leaning on his sword. "Do not fear, Aunt. I still possess strength for 1 final strike."
