Chapter 672 A Sword Slaying the Demon Lord
Behind the 6-Winged Demon Lord, a beautiful demoness chuckled seductively, "Now that the humans are trapped on Starfire Island without their fourth-grade formation enhancement, they've gathered massive forces. Breaking through won't be easy."
"Have no fear, this venerable 1 has made preparations."
The 6-Winged Demon Lord let out a cold laugh and declared, "If I am the first to breach the human race’s Star Constellation Array Eye, I will undoubtedly receive rewards from the Demon God Majesty and seize the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul realm."
"Dispatch the order—all demon ships are to set sail for Starfire Island at once. This Lord shall breach that Astral Constellation Formation without fail."
Dozens of colossal black demonic vessels, each spanning tens of thousands of feet, soared through the skies as they arrived beyond the shores of Starfire Island, shrouded in boundless demonic energy.
The 6-Winged Demon Lord, proud and arrogant, immediately ordered the assault on the formation with the treasure ship upon his arrival.
For a time, beams of destructive demonic light shot forth from dozens of fifth-tier treasure ships, continuously bombarding the Star Constellation Grand Formation above the spirit island.
Fortunately, the island was teeming with cultivators, and with Eldrin personally presiding over the formation, they remained utterly unshaken by the demonic invasion.
Eldrin activated the Grand Astral Array, summoning the divine power of the Stellar Sun to manifest as Celestial Stellar Thunder that crashed down with devastating force.
Gathering the power of the Star Constellation Grand Formation, the Astral Divine Thunder originally possessed the might of a Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm). Though its power diminished slightly without the support of the subsidiary spirit islands, it still successively blasted 2 fifth-rank demonic vessels into fragments.
2 fifth-grade demonic ships shattered, and in an instant, 1,000,000 demons perished, all reduced to the ashes of calamity in this battle. Even the demonic cultivators at the Infant Soul stage commanding the treasure ships suffered casualties—3 of them fell.
Seeing the ferocity of the human race's formation, a Demon Race True Monarch slightly changed his expression and said, "Starfire Island has over 10 million cultivators, and the formation is further empowered by a top-grade, fifth-tier spirit vein."
"Given their cultivation levels, if they take turns powering the formation to fight us, I fear even if we sacrifice our entire 6-Winged Demon Race, it still wouldn't be enough. If you have any means left, Demon Lord, now is the time to employ them."
"Trash."
The 6-Winged Demon Race (Demon Beast) Master let out a cold snort, his expression icy as he declared, "Do not worry. This Sovereign has his own methods."
As his voice fell, he stepped forward and with a flick of his sleeve, summoned a pitch-black treasure vase. The vase trembled violently, instantly releasing an expanse of darkness so profound it blotted out the heavens.
In an instant, the starry sky dimmed, completely shrouded by that dark cloud, and even the entire Stellar Sun Spirit Island was plunged into fading light.
The Heaven Desolate Sect Leader’s face drastically changed, and he couldn’t help but exclaim, “This is bad—it’s the Demon Cloud Shrouding Heaven Vessel (Magic Treasure).”
Everyone’s expressions shifted abruptly at the sight. Although the Sky-Shrouding Demonic Vase was merely a superior-grade demonic treasure, it could directly devour the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars, specializing in countering such divine abilities and formations.
The power of the Starfire Island's formation primarily drew from 4 sources: the spiritual energy of the island itself, its subsidiary spirit islands, the cultivators channeling their magic power, and the radiance of the 9 Heavens' stars.
Now that the subsidiary spirit islands have been abandoned and the radiance of the 9 Heavens Star Constellations has been obscured, the power of the Star Sun Island’s defensive formations has already been reduced by half.
With its current power, it could no longer destroy a fifth-grade treasure ship in a single strike, as the 6-Winged Demon Race (Demon Beast) had already adapted to counter it.
Seizing this golden opportunity, the demonic army launched relentless assaults, madly draining the formation's power.
Seeing the situation turning dire, the master of the Celestial Star Sect could not help but ask, "Should we request reinforcements from the other Astral Islands and mobilize the power of the formation arrays to bolster our defenses?"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts stirred faintly. With the power of the Water Ripple Island,
"The battle at Zhen Water Island still rages on. They're facing even greater pressure than we are. We should prioritize sending reinforcements to them."
Eldrin shook his head to decline the proposal. After exchanging a glance with Lyra, he declared, "When the demonic races breach the formation, I shall personally activate the 2 Forms Earthfire Sword Array to strike. You may seize combat opportunities as you see fit."
As the words faded, Eldrin took personal command of the 2 Forms Earthfire Sword Formation, standing ready for the imminent great battle.
Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) spoke up, "With our current sufficient manpower, we can allocate another 30 percent of cultivators into the formation to empower the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure)."
At that very moment, 20-some demonic vessels continuously bombarded the mountain-protecting formation. The cultivators of Starfire Isle refused to yield, unleashing countless divine abilities and magical treasures in relentless combat against the extraterrestrial demons.
The great war raged on for half a month. At its most brutal moment, the demon clan lost over 20-some treasured vessels, while the human side suffered nearly a million cultivator casualties.
On this day, the protective formation of Starfire Island finally gave way. As the 6-Winged Demon Lord and other Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators took direct action, they forcibly tore through Starfire Island’s formation.
"Ha ha ha!"
Seeing the formation shattered, the 6-Winged Demon Lord let out a maniacal laugh. His face twisted into a savage mask, eyes blazing with killing intent as he charged forward ahead of all others.
But at that very instant, an unparalleled Yin-Yang True Qi suddenly erupted, catching the demons completely off guard and hurling them backward.
紧接着一道无比璀璨的剑罡绽开，带着无与伦比的杀意斩向了六翅魔主。
In that very instant, Eldrin, harnessing the power of millions of cultivators and the spiritual veins of Starfire Island, activated the 2 Polarities Earthfire Sword Formation, unleashing a world-shaking killing array rivaling the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm.
"Ah—"
The 6-Winged Demon Lord, caught completely off guard, was instantly severed in 2, his entire demonic body engulfed in raging flames.
The Inferno Crystal Sword was bolstered by the formation’s power, further enhanced by the Celestial Flame magic infused by Eldrin (Person Name).
This supreme mystical power, which only an Eldrin Dao Lord could master, was truly terrifying. It was nearly capable of incinerating all things and served as the ultimate bane of demons and monsters across the world.
The Nascent Soul of the 6-Winged Demon Lord merely brushed against a wisp of celestial flame, yet it was instantly engulfed in agonizing screams. In mere moments, it had been incinerated into calamity ashes.
"Let's begin."
In that fleeting moment, Lyra (Person Name), Yan Zi Ji (Person Name), and the others seized the opportunity to strike. Dozens of fifth-grade treasure ships surged forward like a tidal wave, swiftly entangling with the 6-Winged Heavenly Demon Clan in a fierce confrontation.
The power of the 2 Forms Fire Sword Array was truly astonishing. With Eldrin personally channeling it, the formation was virtually equivalent to a Half-Step Primordial Spirit cultivator unleashing the full might of celestial fire magic. It proved to be almost the natural bane of extraterrestrial demons.
Seizing this opportunity, Eldrin once again activated the formation, forcibly drawing upon the group's magical power to unleash 9 consecutive sword strikes. Astonishingly, he destroyed 9 demonic treasure ships, overwhelming the demon clan in mere moments.
When Eldrin sought to unleash the tenth sword, he discovered the formation’s power had been depleted. The mana of the millions of cultivators fueling the array had nearly been drained dry by these 9 strikes.
By then, it was too late to find replacements. Eldrin made a swift decision to abandon the formation, summoning the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss to charge into battle.
In the span of a mere instant, nearly half of the 6-Winged Demon Race (Demon Beast)'s treasure ships were destroyed, and over a dozen Nascent Soul demonic cultivators had been slain.
The sudden demise of the 6-Winged Demon Lord, coupled with instantaneous combat losses exceeding 40%, directly triggered the collapse of the 6-Winged Demon Race (Demon Beast).
The human army pursued the enemy for over 4 100 1000 miles, continuously expanding their gains. After successive battles that lasted most of the day, only 7 Yuanying(Primordial Infant) demonic cultivators managed to escape.
