Chapter 672 : The Demon Fleet's Onslaught

Behind Lord of the Six-Wings Demon Race, a beautiful demoness of the demonic race smiled seductively and said, "Currently, the Human Race is trapped and defending Star Sun Island. Without the empowerment of the Fourth Rank Formation, they are merely a formidable force. However, they have amassed a massive army. Capturing the island will likely be difficult."

"Do not worry. This Sovereign has made preparations."

The Lord of the Six-Wings Demon Race let out a cold laugh and declared, "If this Sovereign is the first to breach the Star Constellation Formation Eye of the Human Race, I will surely receive a reward from Demon God Majesty and obtain the opportunity to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm."

"Issue the order! All demonic ships are to set sail for Star Sun Island immediately. This Lord *will* breach that Star Constellation Grand Formation."

Dozens of colossal black demonic ships, each ten thousand Zhang-lengths [one Zhang-length equals three point three three meters] in size, soared through the skies. Carrying boundless Demonic Qi [the corrupt, malevolent energy cultivated by demons], they arrived just beyond Star Sun Island.

Arrogant and overconfident, the Lord of the Six-Wings Demon Race gave the order to attack the Formation [a defensive or offensive energy array] with the Treasure Ship [enchanted vessels used in combat] as soon as his forces arrived.

In an instant, beams of annihilating demonic light erupted from the Fifth Rank Treasure Boat [Fifth Rank enchanted vessels], relentlessly bombarding the Star Constellation Grand Formation that shielded the Spirit Island [an island rich in spiritual energy].

Fortunately, the island was defended by a multitude of cultivators, and Eldrin Chen personally presided over the Formation. They faced the demonic onslaught without the slightest fear.

It was then that Eldrin Chen activated the Star Constellation Grand Formation, summoning the power of the Star Sun Divine Light [a divine radiance drawn from stellar and solar essence] and transforming it into Starry Divine Thunder [heavenly thunder imbued with celestial power] that crashed down with earth-shattering force.

That Starry Divine Thunder, converging the might of the Star Constellation Grand Formation, originally possessed power at the Half-Step Primordial Spirit level. Now, deprived of the support from the subsidiary Spirit Island, its potency had diminished somewhat. Yet, it still managed to shatter two of the Fifth Rank demonic ships in succession.

Two Fifth Rank [the fifth major stage of cultivation, equivalent to the Nascent Soul realm] demonic treasure ships shattered, and in that instant, millions of demonic beings perished, all reduced to the ashes of this battle's calamity. Even the Nascent Soul Demonic Cultivator [a cultivator of the Nascent Soul realm who follows a demonic path] commanding the Treasure Ship [a large, ship-shaped magical artifact] suffered casualties, with three of them slain.

Witnessing the ferocity of the Human Race [the collective term for humanity in this world] Formation [a structured arrangement that channels energy for defense or attack], a demonic True Lord [a title for a cultivator who has reached the Golden Core realm] changed expression and said, "This Star Sun Island [a major island stronghold] holds tens of millions of cultivators and is further empowered by a Fifth Rank High Grade [a high-quality spiritual vein of the fifth rank] Spirit Vein [a natural conduit of concentrated spiritual energy] to fuel its Formation."

"With their cultivation bases allowing them to take turns powering the Formation to fight us, I fear even if we threw our entire Six-Winged Demon Race [a powerful race of demons characterized by having six wings] into the fray, it would not be enough. If you have any means, Demon Sovereign, please employ them now."

"Worthless."

The Lord of the Six-Wings Demon Race snorted coldly, his expression icy. "Do not worry. This sovereign has his own methods."

As his words fell, he stepped forward. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned a pitch-black treasure vase. The vase trembled violently and instantly released a vast, utterly dark cloud that blotted out the heavens.

In that instant, the myriad starlights dimmed, all obscured by that black cloud. Even the entire Star Sun Spirit Island was plunged into profound gloom.

Desolate Wilderness Sect Master [the leader of the Desolate Wilderness Sect] paled dramatically and could not help but exclaim, "Disaster! It is the Cloud-Darkening Demon Vase [a demonic artifact that emits clouds to blot out celestial light]!"

Seeing this, everyone's expressions shifted drastically. Although the Cloud-Darkening Demon Vase was merely a High Grade Demonic Treasure [a powerful artifact of demonic origin], it specialized in extinguishing the light of the sun, moon, and stars, making it a perfect counter to this type of Divine Ability [a supernatural power mastered by high-level cultivators] and Formation.

The power source of the Star Sun Island Formation came primarily from four components: the spiritual energy of the island itself, its subsidiary Spirit Island [smaller islands with spiritual veins], the cultivators providing their Mana [the spiritual energy or power wielded by a cultivator], and the light from the Nine Heavens Star Fragment [a rare celestial ore that emits powerful stellar energy].

Now that the subsidiary Spirit Island [a spiritual land rich in vital energy] has been abandoned, and the radiance of the Nine Heavens [the nine celestial layers of the cosmos] star mansions is obscured, the power of the Formation [a mystical defensive or offensive array] on Star Sun Island [the Island of the Stellar Sun] has been halved.

With its current diminished might, it can no longer destroy a Fifth Rank Treasure Boat [a powerful enchanted vessel] in a single strike, and the Six-Winged Demon Race [a race of demons possessing six wings] are now able to withstand its assaults.

Seizing this opportunity, the demonic horde began a relentless assault, furiously draining the power of the Formation.

Seeing the situation turn dire, the master of the Celestial Star Sect [the Sect of the Heavenly Stars] could not help but ask, "Should we request aid from the other star mansion Spirit Islands and mobilize their Formation power to bolster our defenses?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts stirred slightly. Considering the strength of Water Chariot Island [the Island of the Watery Chariot],

"Water Chariot Island is still locked in a major battle; the pressure they face is even greater than ours. We should prioritize sending reinforcements to them."

Eldrin Chen shook his head, rejecting the proposal. After exchanging a glance with Lyra Jiang, he declared, "When the demons breach the Formation, I will personally activate the Two Extremities Earthfire Sword Formation [a sword formation harnessing the opposing forces of earth and fire] and strike. You must find your own opening in the battle."

With those words, Eldrin Chen took personal command of the Two Extremities Earthfire Sword Formation, awaiting the moment of the great clash.

Seeing this, Lyra Jiang spoke up, "We currently have sufficient manpower. Let us mobilize an additional thirty percent of our cultivators into the formation to channel their Mana [spiritual energy used for cultivation and spellcasting] and empower the Two Extremities Earthfire Sword Formation."

At that very moment, over twenty demonic ships bombarded the Mountain Guardian Grand Formation [the Grand Formation of the Mountain Guardian] without cease. The defenders of Star Sun Island refused to yield, unleashing a relentless barrage of various Divine Abilitys [supernatural powers granted by cultivation] and Magical Treasures [enchanted artifacts] to resist the onslaught of the Outer Realm Demons.

The great battle raged for half a month. At its most brutal point, the demonic forces' more than twenty Treasure Ship had suffered significant damage, and the Human Race had also suffered nearly a million cultivator casualties.

On this day, the Formation protecting Star Sun Island finally could hold no longer. With Lord of the Six-Wings Demon Race and other Nascent Soul-realm demons personally joining the assault, they finally managed to tear the island's defensive Formation asunder by sheer force.

"Hahaha!"

Witnessing the shattered defenses, Lord of the Six-Wings Demon Race let out a maniacal laugh, his features twisted with ferocity and eyes blazing with murderous intent as he charged forward first.

Yet, in that very instant, an unparalleled surge of Two Extremities Astral Energy [a potent defensive energy born from the fusion of opposing Yin and Yang forces] erupted, catching the Demonic Monsters off guard and hurling them back.

Immediately following, a blindingly brilliant Sword Astral [a solidified blade of sword energy, far more potent than mere sword Qi] bloomed forth, carrying an overwhelming aura of slaughter as it cleaved towards Lord of the Six-Wings Demon Race. Published by AUDIO-NOVEL.COM. All rights reserved.

For in that moment, Eldrin Chen had channeled the combined power of millions of cultivators and the Star Sun Island's Spirit Vein [a subterranean conduit of concentrated spiritual energy], unleashing the Two Extremities Earthfire Sword Formation. The formation erupted with the world-shaking killing power of a Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm [a state of power just below the true Nascent Soul realm] combat array.

"Aaaargh—!"

Caught completely unprepared, the Lord of the Six-Wings Demon Race was instantly bisected, his entire demonic body engulfed in roaring flames.

The Earthfire Mysterious Crystal Sword [a magical sword forged from crystal and imbued with terrestrial fire], empowered by the Formation and further fused with Eldrin Chen's Celestial Fire Mana [a potent cultivation art that channels heavenly fire energy], had delivered the fatal blow.

This supreme secret power, which only a Nascent Soul Dao Lord [a cultivator who has condensed their soul into an infant form within their dantian] can master, was truly too terrifying. It was nearly capable of incinerating all things and served as the ultimate bane of all Demonic Monsters [malevolent beings born of corrupted spiritual energy].

The Nascent Soul [the condensed spiritual infant form of a high-level cultivator] of the Lord of the Six-Wings Demon Race merely brushed against a wisp of the Celestial Fire [a divine flame of heavenly origin, purifying and destructive], and was instantly set ablaze, shrieking in agony. Within moments, it was utterly consumed, reduced to a scattering of ash.

"Now!"

In that instant, Lyra Jiang, Yvonne the Violet Consort, and the others seized the opportunity to unleash their attacks. One after another, Fifth Rank Treasure Boat [powerful enchanted vessels of the fifth rank] surged forward, engaging the Six-Wings Celestial Demon [a race of winged celestial demons] clan in a fierce entanglement.

The might of the Two Poles Fire Sword Formation [a sword formation harnessing the polar energies of fire] was utterly staggering. With Eldrin Chen personally channeling its power, it was nearly equivalent to a Half-Step Primordial Spirit [a cultivator on the verge of ascending to the Primordial Spirit realm] unleashing their full strength with Celestial Fire Mana [a cultivation art that generates mana imbued with celestial fire]. It proved to be the perfect counter to the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon [demonic beings from beyond this world].

Seizing this advantage, Eldrin Chen once again activated the Formation [a structured array that channels and amplifies spiritual power], forcibly drawing upon the collective Mana [the refined spiritual energy used by cultivators to power techniques] of the assembled cultivators to unleash nine consecutive sword strikes. Astonishingly, these strikes shattered nine of the demonic Treasure Ship [enchanted vessels used for transport and warfare]. In just a few exchanges, the demonic forces were thoroughly stunned and thrown into disarray.

When Eldrin Chen sought to channel a tenth strike, he found the formation's power had waned. The Mana of the millions of cultivators powering the Formation had been nearly drained dry by those nine devastating blows.

There was no time to replenish the ranks now. Eldrin Chen made a decisive judgment, abandoning the Formation. He summoned forth his Heavenly Separated Twin Swords [a pair of legendary swords, once whole, now eternally parted] and charged into the fray.

In the brief span of a few heartbeats, nearly half of the Six-Winged Demon Race's Treasure Ship lay in ruins. More than a dozen Nascent Soul Demonic Cultivator [demonic cultivators who have reached the Nascent Soul realm] had been slain.

The sudden death of their Lord of the Six-Wings Demon Race, coupled with losses exceeding four tenths of their force in an instant, triggered a complete rout among the Six-Winged Demon Race.

The human army gave chase across a distance exceeding four hundred thousand Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters], pressing their advantage at every turn. After a series of fierce clashes that raged for the better part of a day, only seven Nascent Soul Demonic Cultivators [practitioners of a dark, demonic path who have reached the Nascent Soul realm] managed to escape.
