Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1627: Chapter 1624: Demon Beasts’ Advancement Speed

After Shen Wanjing, Wan Daorong and the other powerhouses left, the bloody stench lingering over Flame Moon Sect had yet to disperse, and the shattered Array Foundations and crisscrossing cracks still told of the brutality of the battle just fought.

Although Flame Moon Sect had escaped annihilation, the heavy atmosphere hanging in the air did not dissipate because of it.

Yang Fei swept his Divine Sense across the territory of Flame Moon Sect. Seeing many of the once magnificent halls damaged by the duel of powerhouses, scars everywhere, his heart couldn’t help but grow complicated. In this battle today, he did gain something, but when he first faced Su Baili, he had almost not even had the chance to flee.

"Late stage Core Formation is still too weak." Yang Fei muttered, his gaze heavy.

If other Cultivators in the Southern Domain Cultivation World knew what he was thinking at this moment, they would certainly think he was putting on airs.

You’ve only been cultivating for how long, and you already have such terrifying Combat Power, yet you’re still saying you’re too weak?

Why don’t you just ascend to the heavens already.

"First check today’s spoils." Yang Fei made up his mind, his figure flickered, and he shot toward the mountain peak Ling Shuanghua had arranged for him.

On the peak, spiritual mist coiled; the Restrictions were still in place. Yang Fei landed in the courtyard, and after confirming no one was around, immediately sat cross-legged and used his Divine Sense to link with the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl.

The familiar pulling force came, and an invisible ripple of space appeared around him. In the next instant, Yang Fei’s figure vanished from where he stood.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already inside a secret chamber in White Jade City.

"Something’s wrong!"

Terrifying roars and shrieks of demon beasts, along with a hair-raising aura of Desolate Ancient Great Demons, instantly swept toward him.

Yang Fei’s Divine Sense surged out like a tidal wave, instantly covering the entire White Jade City.

He saw a pitch-black tide of demon beast armies surging to the foot of the mountain. Dense shadows of beasts stretched from the mountain’s base all the way into the distance, like a black ocean, encircling the whole White Jade City so tightly that not even water could seep through.

What shocked Yang Fei even more was that among the Demon Beast Group, more than a dozen Great Demons stood towering, their auras so terrifying they had already far surpassed the level of Core Formation Stage, and even exceeded Early stage Nascent Soul!

One of them was a jet-black giant python, over a hundred zhang long, coiled halfway up the mountain. Its vertical pupils gleamed with a ghostly green light, and the demonic qi around its body corroded all the surrounding trees as if it were tangible. Another, a crimson giant ape, hammered its chest with both hands, unleashing earth-shaking roars as a wild, violent pressure swept in all directions.

These Great Demons actually ignored the Bloodthirsty Pressure released by the Four Spirits Blood Array and were madly charging up White Jade City Mountain. With the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace gone, the current Power of the Four Spirits Blood Array could no longer inflict even the slightest harm on them.

"Great Demons with strength comparable to Middle stage Nascent Soul!"

Yang Fei’s heart sank.

One had to know that in the same Realm, demon beasts’ Combat Power far surpassed human Cultivators. A single Middle stage Nascent Soul Great Demon’s true Combat Power was enough to rival a human Late-stage Nascent Soul, or even Nascent Soul Peak. And at this moment, there were actually more than a dozen such existences!

He had taken the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace away from White Jade City for too long.

The core of the Four Spirits Blood Array lay in the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace inside the Array’s core pillar acting as the hub, guiding the Power of Four Symbols and driving slaughter and sealing.

With the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace absent, the Four Spirits Blood Array had lost its most crucial suppressive force, and its Power was reduced to barely a fraction of its former self. Those demon beasts had been living around White Jade City ever since the seal of Penglai Immortal Mountain was broken, for over twenty years now. They cultivated day and night in this land rich in Spiritual Energy, swallowing and refining, their recovery speed far surpassing Yang Fei’s expectations.

"Boom——"

A thunderous boom cut off Yang Fei’s thoughts.

His Divine Sense saw Zhuge Cang fully activating the Killing Array within the Four Spirits Blood Array, trying to block the assault of the demon beast army at the foot of the mountain.

Streak after streak of spiritual light shot out from the Array, transforming into Fireballs, Thunder Blades, Ice Cones, pouring down on the Demon Beast Group like rain. Yet there were simply too many demon beasts. Though these attacks could kill some low rank demon beasts, they couldn’t harm those Great Demons in the slightest.

At the mountain pass directly ahead, Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu were indeed standing there, with over a dozen Foundation Establishment Cultivators stationed behind them, the ones who had remained to guard White Jade City.

However, in the face of this situation, not to mention those newly advanced Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Earth, even Tong Yunshu and Qin Yanyang both had deathly pale faces and were tense to the extreme.

Even though the two women were now Core Formation Stage Cultivators, and their Combat Power surpassed that of ordinary Core Formation Stage experts, when confronted with such a massive demon beast army assault, they might not even be able to protect themselves.

Especially those dozen-plus Great Demons—the very aura they released made the two women’s hearts pound in terror. They understood clearly that the strength of these Great Demons had long surpassed their own.

How could this be?

After decades away from Earth, how had these demon beasts grown so strong so quickly?

They had been in the Southern Domain Cultivation World for many years and were fairly familiar with how demon beasts grew in the Cultivation World.

The Fiery Flame Rat Qin Yanyang kept had always been fed with top-grade spirit stone, and she had barely used it over the years. Even under such conditions, in more than twenty years it had only grown from a Second Rank spiritual beast to a Third Rank spiritual beast.

Even a spiritual beast fed with Top grade Spirit Stones grew only this fast. One could imagine how much slower other spiritual beasts that weren’t fed Spirit Stones, or wild demon beasts that could only rely on absorbing nature’s spiritual energy on their own, would grow.

Yet now, the demon beasts around this White Jade City had all grown at a shocking pace, completely breaking the two women’s understanding.

"Seems we’ve overlooked something very important." Qin Yanyang said in a deep voice, "These demon beasts aren’t growing up from low rank to Advanced; many of them were originally extremely strong, only sealed within Penglai Immortal Mountain, their Realms suppressed. Now that Spiritual Energy Revival has occurred on Earth, and the Spiritual Energy around White Jade City is incomparably abundant, their recovery speed has naturally become unimaginably fast."

Tong Yunshu took a deep breath and said, "Right, look at those Great Demons; they already have the strength of Middle stage Nascent Soul. If they’re given a bit more time, I’m afraid they’ll quickly break through even further in Nascent Soul. They’re way too strong!"

"Some of them might even be from the Ancient Era itself!" Qin Yanyang said solemnly.

"No way!" Tong Yunshu was incredulous. "Can they really live that long?"

Qin Yanyang said, "Who knows."

Seeing those Great Demons getting closer and closer, she frowned and said, "If we wait for Yang Fei to return, we’ll already be unable to hold the line. We have to withdraw with the people here first."

Tong Yunshu was nervous to the extreme. "Withdraw how? We’re surrounded by demon beast armies on all sides, with quite a few that can fly at high altitude. We can barely protect ourselves—how are we supposed to protect everyone else while retreating? Why isn’t Yang Fei back yet? Don’t tell me something happened to him?"

Qin Yanyang’s gaze was resolute. "Impossible. He knows what he’s doing. He will... come back."

"I’m back!"

Just then, Yang Fei’s voice entered the two women’s ears.

The two women’s spirits lifted.

In the next instant, a terrifying, overwhelming murderous aura soared into the sky, and a blood and qi pressure as if suppressing an entire human-world hell descended from above.

The Power of the Four Spirits Blood Array instantly recovered to its peak.

No, it even seemed a bit stronger than before.
