Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Chaos at the Demon-locking Tower, The Strong Make Their Move, The Great Battle Begins

The Young Master, Paper Fan, was ashen-faced.

He touched the new headdress on his head, recalling Hu Feifei’s shattering blow, a surge of anger rising within him.

“Are you ready? When will we attack the Misty Sect?”

Paper Fan Young Master said, his voice laced with irritation.

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect’s old Sect Master hastily replied:

“Young Master, rest assured, the seal on the Underground Cavern Alien Race has been broken, our reinforcements have arrived, and moreover, with the Sect Masters of the Four Two-Star Forces advancing to the Divine Origin Realm, our opportunity has arrived.”

“Oh?” Paper Fan Young Master’s eyes narrowed, “You dare to think of devouring the Four Great Divine Origin Realms? Aren’t you afraid of overextending yourselves?”

“Only by this means can we further strengthen the Meat Mountain Monster and gain the absolute power to crush the Misty Sect.”

The old Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect smirked darkly.

The Meat Mountain Monster possessed a Divine Skill.

Once activated, it could absorb Divine Origin Realm experts into its body, turning them into a source of its own strength.

This method was much faster than forcibly breaking down Divine Origin Realm experts and saved a lengthy refining process.

Furthermore, it could assimilate the devoured Divine Origin Realm experts, acting as an incubator for cultivating new Meat Mountain Monsters.

As a member of the Prophet Clan, Paper Fan Young Master naturally understood this.

He gently waved his paper fan and said, “No matter how you plan to increase your strength, the most important thing at this stage is to quickly crush the Misty Sect for me.”

The old Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect’s expression shifted, “We must plan for the long term… My plan is to first devour the newly advanced Divine Origin Realm experts from the Four Two-Star Forces, and once our strength is sufficient, then attack the Misty Sect.”

“Fine.” Paper Fan Young Master nodded.

With the current strength of the Meat Mountain Monster, he indeed found it difficult to deal with the two Divine Origin Realm experts of the Misty Sect.

Especially Ye Feng, whose abilities were unfathomable and who had never revealed his true strength to others. He must be treated with caution.

“Then, for the first step, which Divine Origin Realm expert from the Two-Star Forces do you plan to devour?” Paper Fan Young Master asked.

“Naturally, it’s the Divine Wind Sword Sect.”

The old Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect chuckled slyly, “After all, my son has been lurking within the Divine Wind Sword Sect for so many years. It’s time to reap the rewards.”

“Hmmph, then I must see how you intend to close the net you’ve been casting for years,” Paper Fan Young Master said, standing with his hands behind his back, observing.

Whoosh!

The old Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect stood atop the Meat Mountain Monster and waved his hand grandly, “Everyone, activate the Evil Qi Formation, activate all Demon-locking Towers, the total assault… has begun!”

“Yes.”

Twelve Supreme Elders, each seated on a massive stone pillar, bit their fingertips, inscribing ancient runes onto their faces.

Hum!

Fierce beams of light erupted from their foreheads, intertwining to form an ancient formation, drawing Heavenly and Earthly Elemental Energy around them and connecting the Demon-locking Towers they had constructed.

Baisha Ancient Town.

People pointed at the Demon-locking Tower spewing black Evil Qi into the sky, their faces filled with shock.

Along the Flowing Water River.

Li Hanshao and Wu De, reclining on a lounge chair, suddenly noticed the nearby Demon-locking Tower trembling, emitting a blackish-gray stream of gas with a sinister human face faintly visible within.

“What… what a terrifying feeling!”

“What on earth is happening?”

Li Hanshao and Wu De swallowed hard.

Within the Southern River Basin.

All Demon-locking Towers built by the Divine Wind Sword Sect and the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect began to erupt with Evil Qi, forming a sinister human face in the sky that quickly dissipated and converged towards the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect.

In the sky.

The old Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect, standing on the Meat Mountain Monster, entered the area filled with blackish-grey clouds of Evil Qi.

“Eh, why is there so much less Evil Qi than expected?”

The old Sect Master was surprised.

People from all the major forces within the Southern River Basin noticed the anomaly with the Demon-locking Towers and were also drawn to the Evil Qi sweeping across the sky.

Sword King Sect.

Chief disciple Jiang Baige looked up at the sky, his sword-like brows furrowed,

“Do you sense that something momentous is about to occur?”

A figure shrouded in sword light approached slowly, making a clanging sound.

“Disciple pays respects to the Sect Master,” Jiang Baige hurriedly bowed deeply in salute.

“This crisis, I fear even I cannot stop! Judging by this situation, the first battle seems to be headed for the Divine Wind Sword Sect,” the Sword King Sect’s Sect Master sighed deeply.

Jiang Baige felt a chill in his heart, “Sect Master, aren’t you going to support them?”

“Go, of course I must go.”

The Sword King Sect’s Sect Master nodded slightly, leaped into the air, and transformed into dazzling sword light that streaked across the sky, instantly surpassing five times the speed of sound.

County King City.

Commandery Prince Shu Qianjun stood beside his daughter Shu Hongyu and patted her shoulder, saying, “My daughter, if your father does not return from this journey, you will be the Commandery Prince, so try to be happy.”

With that, he instantly broke through five times the speed of sound, speeding towards the Divine Wind Sword Sect.

“Father King, please don’t go!”

Shu Hongyu wanted to chase after him, but as she reached out her hand, that towering figure had already gone far away.

Her nose tingled, and she felt an inexplicable sadness.

Just moments ago, Commandery Prince Shu Qianjun had told her that today there would be a fierce battle, one of Divine Origin Realm level, where ordinary people wouldn’t even qualify to participate in the fight.

Therefore, he decided to rush alone to the battle thousands of miles away.

If he were not to return, then he would never return!

“I don’t want to be some damn Commandery Prince!” Shu Hongyu, leaning on the railing, slowly knelt down, quietly sobbing.

Myriad Islands Alliance.

“Ah, it has finally come. I wonder if the four of us from the Great Divine Origin Realms can suppress those demons,” Mo Tianlong said, his eyes devoid of ripples.

Even having cut off his darker side, facing this no-win battle, he didn’t frown.

“My daughter, your father must leave too!”

Mo Tianlong transformed into a blue giant dragon, covering kilometers in a blink, and gradually accelerating, soon surpassing five times the speed of sound.

“Father King!”

Mo Minxi also wanted to follow, but was promptly stopped by an extended hand from the Blue Dragon King.

“Young Alliance Leader, this battle is extraordinary, a fight at the Divine Origin Realm level. In the entire Southern River Basin, there are no more than a handful of people qualified to participate. If we go, we will only add to the chaos,” the Blue Dragon King said solemnly.

“Sigh…”

Min Xi felt helpless, looking towards the Misty Sect with speculation, “Do you think he will take action too?”

The Blue Dragon King paused and said, “Sect Master Ye, with natural creation at his command, and protected by the powerful Princess Hu Feifei, both formidable beings, will surely not stand idly by, will they?”

…

The eruption from the Demon-locking Tower, with its evil Qi spreading across the sky, shocked everyone in the Southern River Basin.

As they looked up at the sky, a palpable dread of the heavens falling upon them took hold.

Divine Wind Sword Sect.

Elders’ Peak.

The Divine Wind Sword Sect’s Great Elder stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the evil Qi converging towards the Black Stone Wasteland, feeling extremely pleased.

“It has finally started. With this, I must also prepare to take action,” he said.

The Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect raised his hand, and a spike made of concentrated evil Qi appeared in his palm.

This object targeted the Primordial Spirit.

Even if a Great Power of the Divine Origin Realm were to be taken by surprise and struck, the evil Qi would enter the body, cause mental confusion, and greatly diminish combat strength.

This was left to him by the old Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect; at the critical moment, he would use it to launch a surprise attack on the Sect Master of the Divine Wind Sword Sect, aiming to severely injure him first.

Then, the plan to attack the Divine Wind Sword Sect would proceed smoothly.

Gurgle…

The sound of someone drinking and the scent of wine wafted over, accompanied by the sound of hiccuping.

“Hmm?”

The Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect immediately hid the evil Qi spike and looked towards the source of the noise, only to see a scruffy old man lying next to a stone, holding a wine gourd, from which fragrant wine flowed out and spilled onto the ground.

“Old Demon Ding, it’s you!”

The Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect’s gaze sharpened.
