Chapter 277: Chapter 275: 6th-Realm Demon Race
Meanwhile.
While Su Qing was still admiring the night view, he could feel a massive surge of Demonic Qi from the southeast.
That direction was close to the Moon God Palace.
With his Fifth Realm Soul Cultivation, Su Qing could sense it.
There was no way the Sect Lord of the Moon God Palace couldn’t sense it.
This was their territory, after all.
Su Qing certainly wasn’t going to get involved in the Demon Race’s affairs.
——
Moon God Sect.
After sensing the Demonic Qi, its Sect Lord had already sent a request for aid to the Immortal Alliance.
He reported an encounter with the Demon Race.
In massive numbers.
He could sense that where the Demonic Qi surged like a tidal wave, the Demon Race’s forces were formidable—possibly even stronger than he was.
In the end, he was the only one in the Moon God Palace who had reached the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Although there were about a dozen in the Nascent Soul Realm.
But against the Demon Race, they would likely be no match at all.
The Sect Lord of the Moon God Palace considered investigating himself.
But on second thought...
’No, I can’t risk it.’
What if it was like what happened with the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect last time, with several Fifth Realm demons appearing at once? He wasn’t as strong as Ji Qianqiu, so how could he possibly deal with the Demon Race?
...
Su Qing’s Token received a message from the Sect Lord.
"All disciples are to report to the Moon God Palace’s Pocket World within half a day!"
"..." Su Qing mulled it over.
His eyes suddenly widened.
’All disciples are to go to the Pocket World.’
’Doesn’t this mean His Lordship the Sect Lord plans to grab the Pocket World and run?’
’Are the demons over there really that powerful?’
Su Qing started packing his things and preparing to run, too.
If he didn’t run now, was he supposed to wait for the Demon Race to arrive before making a break for it?
Even a Divinity Transformation Realm expert wanted to flee.
"Zhang Yuan, inform everyone."
"The Imperial City is in danger. Tell people to hide."
That was all Su Qing could do. Even if he sent word to the areas outside the Imperial City, the message wouldn’t spread quickly. This wasn’t an era of advanced communication.
Right now, he had to run.
Seeing Su Qing’s urgency, especially after watching him fly away directly, Zhang Yuan’s expression turned grim.
He seemed to realize something major was about to happen.
...
Su Qing really did run.
He couldn’t stay here any longer.
A Divinity Transformation expert was on the run.
That meant this place was dangerous.
If Su Qing stayed, would he just be waiting to face that danger?
Su Qing didn’t have any offensive Array Plates on him; when he went out, he only focused on being well-hidden.
’No, I have to make an offensive Array Plate first.’
After fleeing, Su Qing took out the contents of his Storage Ring.
He began frantically crafting Array Plates.
He synthesized them continuously.
...
...
He crafted and synthesized no less than a thousand Array Plates.
Only then did he succeed in synthesizing a single, special one.
[Immortal Soul Net Array Plate: Possesses a faint Spiritual Sense and obeys the Host’s commands. Its array is heaven-defying, its power not of this world. Uses the energy of Immortal Stones to lay an array specifically designed to trap and annihilate an enemy’s soul.]
After taking it in his hand, a profound sense of security enveloped him.
He also placed an Immortal Stone inside the Array Plate.
It was enough to power the plate at full strength for ten years.
And just like that, his sense of security returned.
...
In a valley outside the Moon God Palace.
Many Cultivators had gathered here. Some were already heading home.
Others, however, were hesitating.
The Sect Lord was taking people and preparing to leave.
Everyone was talking at once, opinions flying.
"Should we leave?"
...
"Fellow Daoist Liu, how about entering the Sect Pocket World with me?"
"No, thank you. My home is in the city, and I’m not willing to leave by myself. I have to look after my family."
"But I heard the Demon Race is coming. What will you do? If you die, you’re really dead."
"If I die... I’ll be at peace with that!"
The heartless are often troubled by sentiment. Those who were once iron-willed, those who pursued immortality with ruthless detachment, were now making life-altering decisions.
Some had no family. Some didn’t care about their family.
Some protected their family. And some... just wanted to protect others.
Everyone’s choice was different.
Half a day passed quickly.
Most of the Cultivators chose to stay.
Of course, the majority of them were in the Qi Cultivation Realm.
As for the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators who remained, most were already aged and frail. Even though they had once been tempered by Immortal Qi, they could not withstand the ravages of time and old injuries.
They were Cultivators born and raised in this land.
They all held a deep love for this land, to one degree or another.
They had not detached themselves from the mortal world; they had grown up within it.
...
’Just how strong are the demons over there?’
His soul’s eyes pierced through space, looking in that direction. Over there was a natural Spiritual Vein.
It was also enveloped in Demonic Qi.
Su Qing could see quite a few Fourth Realm demons appear in his field of vision.
But upon sensing a soul probe, Su Qing withdrew his gaze.
He was startled. ’They can detect me even with my level of power?’
Although Su Qing’s observation was direct, under normal circumstances, even those of the same realm would be unable to detect his soul’s gaze.
Su Qing grew worried.
’Demons of the Fifth Realm or higher have descended.’
’The Sect Lord of the Moon God Palace has already fled.’
Su Qing didn’t know what to do.
He had spent so much time and effort putting on an act on this Continent, only for the Demon Race to mess it all up.
’Damn, it was all for nothing.’
——
That night, the bright moon was obscured by clouds and mist, casting a gloomy pall over the world.
The Moon God Palace had fled.
But most of the Orthodox Sects were rushing to this location.
They were coming to aid the Moon God Palace.
The Zhengxuan Sect was at the forefront.
The moment their Fifth Realm Divinity Transformation expert appeared, he gave off a high-tech vibe.
All the Magical Artifacts surrounding him had been meticulously designed.
However, when the Fifth Realm Divinity Transformation expert took a look with his Spiritual Eye...
It was bad!
He saw a terrifying member of the Demon Race.
Just as he was about to flee, the cold face of a Sixth Realm Demon Clan member appeared beside him.
"Old fool, where do you think you’re going? Since you’ve come all this way, you might as well stay." Countless black threads suddenly erupted from the Sixth Realm Demon.
They shot out to bind him.
At the same time, the oppressive aura of a Sixth Realm expert forced the Zhengxuan Sect’s Divinity Transformation cultivator to grit his teeth and hold on.
He notified his own Sect Lord.
Simultaneously, all the Magical Artifacts around the Divinity Transformation expert shot toward his opponent like a dazzling flare.
BOOM—
The Magical Artifacts suddenly unleashed a terrifying explosion of Spiritual Qi. The Spirit Burst in the air caused a large portion of the underground Spiritual Vein to collapse.
At the center of the battlefield, an area dozens of miles in radius was devastated beyond recognition.
The shockwaves reached for hundreds of miles.
Space continued to tremble violently. These were Tier Five Magical Artifacts that more than a dozen Artifact Refining Masters had poured their heart and soul into creating.
The spatial tremors dissipated a good deal of the Demonic Qi.
Only the Divinity Transformation expert from the Zhengxuan Sect knew his opponent wasn’t dead.
Because the oppressive pressure hadn’t changed at all.
The rune patterns on his Magic Robe were suddenly activated.
A Teleportation Array appeared.
...
The Divinity Transformation expert from the Zhengxuan Sect had escaped.
...
"I almost died." He was back in his Sect in an instant, his back drenched in cold sweat. ’It’s a miracle I managed to escape from a Sixth Realm Void Realm expert.’
"What happened, Fellow Daoist Zhang?" Suddenly, the Sect Lord of the Zhengxuan Sect appeared before him.
"Sect Lord Li, that damn Moon God Sect scammed us! They ran away a long time ago, and a Sixth Realm Demon Clan member showed up!"
"What?" The Sect Lord of the Zhengxuan Sect was stunned. He then said, "I must speak with the Supreme Elder."
"Tell the disciples to be on alert."
"Yes, sir!"
Sect Lord Li vanished almost instantly.
Zhang Lansheng let out a breath of relief. ’That was too close. I almost lost my life. Thank goodness these new, improved Magical Artifacts and this Magic Robe are so powerful.’
’I’ll have to do more research in the future and strive to create even more powerful Magical Artifacts.’
’For now, I need to notify the other members of the Immortal Alliance that a Sixth Realm Demon Clan member has appeared near the Moon God Palace.’
...
Somewhere in the wilderness, Su Qing was watching the show.
Beside him, a Demon Fiend was trying desperately to tear him apart.
But the array on Su Qing’s body continuously blocked it.
The sudden appearance of the Sixth Realm Demon, followed by the abrupt escape of the Fifth Realm Divinity Transformation expert, all happened very quickly.
But it had been spectacular.
Especially those Magical Artifacts... He had a feeling that the Fifth Realm Cultivator was the Divinity Transformation expert from the Zhengxuan Sect.
’A normal Cultivator wouldn’t be willing to self-destruct so many Tier Five Magical Artifacts.’
’Besides, the Spirit Burst from each Magical Artifact was massive. It felt like they were meticulously designed for self-destruction.’
’The Demon Race is invading, and this time it’s a Sixth Realm expert.’
’Even a Divinity Transformation cultivator can’t beat them.’
"..."
Su Qing glanced at the Unranked Demon Fiend beside him and slapped it to death.
