Chapter 895: Chapter 471: Demon-Slaying War (Part 2)

The Soul-devouring Demon Lord burst out of the Demon Hall, and with a sweep of his Divine Sense, his face turned deathly pale from the sight before him.

He saw the Five Elements Array shrouding a thousand miles of land, the entire sky rent by strange lines, like strokes of a divine brush painting a colossal Five Elements pattern in mid-air, formed from the Primordial Power of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, emanating a heart-palpitating fluctuation, containing the force of Heaven and Earth Destruction.

At the same time, several Integration Sword Cultivators, Dao Swords in hand, jointly formed a Sword Array, Sword Qi criss-crossing, incomparably fierce. They resonated mysteriously with the Five Elements Array; within the Sword Array, the Power of the Five Elements intertwined and flowed, and every sword they swung carried the might of Heaven and Earth Destruction.

The figures of the Integration Sword Cultivators were lithe and agile; under the radiance of the Five Elements Array, they were like visitors from beyond the heavens. The Sword Array was tight and impenetrable, fused with the earth and with the Five Elements Array itself. Wherever they passed, Ancestor Void Refining Demon and Divinity Transformation Demon Venerables, none of their subordinates had any power to resist.

Several Demon Lords suffered heavy injuries from the Sword Array after a single exchange.

"Damn it!"

The Soul-devouring Demon Lord’s face was ashen, clearly sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the opposing Sword Array, knowing this was not something he could easily withstand.

A trace of viciousness flashed in the Soul-devouring Demon Lord’s eyes; he understood that faced with such a powerful Five Elements Array and the Sword Array laid down by Integration Sword Cultivators, he had no chance of victory even if he charged forward.

He had to find a breakthrough as quickly as possible, or he would certainly perish here today.

The Soul-devouring Demon Lord took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear and unease in his heart, and began to mobilize the remaining Demon Qi in his body, attempting to locate a weakness in the Five Elements Array. His Divine Sense spread out like a spiderweb, carefully feeling every fluctuation within the Five Elements Array.

Yet the Five Elements Array seemed flawless; whether it was the Metal Element Sword Net, the Wood Element giant trees, the Water Element surging waves, the Fire Element blazing flames, or the Earth Element strata of earth, all appeared Indestructible. The Soul-devouring Demon Lord’s Divine Sense threaded through them, but he could not find a single flaw.

Just as despair gripped the Soul-devouring Demon Lord, his gaze suddenly fell upon the Five Elements Array Pillars. These five gigantic Array Pillars were the foundation of the Five Elements Array, each corresponding to the Primordial Power of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, supporting the operation of the entire Grand Array.

A thought stirred in the Soul-devouring Demon Lord’s heart: if he could destroy these five Array Pillars, the Five Elements Array would inevitably collapse.

The Soul-devouring Demon Lord tried to mobilize the Demon Qi within his body, intending to break free of the shackles of this Five Elements Array, but discovered that his Demon Qi was being suppressed by this omnipresent Power of the Five Elements, his combat strength reduced by at least thirty percent.

The Soul-devouring Demon Lord was frightened out of his wits, hastily casting a Hidden Secret Skill to conceal his figure and set up an ambush to sabotage this terrifying Five Elements Array.

At this moment, the Soul-devouring Demon Lord had already discovered the existence presiding over this Five Elements Array—none other than "Sword Immortal Li" — Li Mu.

He wore a blue robe, with a set of Five-Colored Array Tokens circling around him, answering to the five surrounding Five Elements Array Pillars. Those five Array Tokens flowed with five different hues of radiance, and it was precisely this radiance that formed the core of the Five Elements Array.

The Five Elements Spiritual Power gathered by those Divinity Transformation Cultivators and Nascent Soul Cultivators converged because of it; the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Spiritual Power was drawn together by it.

"Sword Immortal Li" stood at the center of the Five Elements Array, his features cold and stern, eyes like torches, exuding an extraordinary, transcendent bearing. The Five-Colored Array Tokens in his hand shone with dazzling light, resonating powerfully with the surrounding Five Elements Array Pillars, making the might of the entire Grand Array grow ever more terrifying.

"It’s him again!"

"What a calamity he is!"

A sliver of killing intent flashed in the Soul-devouring Demon Lord’s eyes. Over these years, they had chased his trail back to the South Wilderness Spirit Realm, yet failed to find him, and had even suffered severe punishment from the Great Demon God.

Failing to eradicate this Divinity Transformation Cultivator had indeed become their greatest hidden threat; the Five Elements Array he now commanded was the best proof.

The killing intent in the Soul-devouring Demon Lord’s heart grew increasingly intense, yet he also knew that with his strength alone he could not possibly contend against this Five Elements Array, especially when "Sword Immortal Li" had two Integration Cultivators guarding his sides.

However, if they did not break this array soon, they might face annihilation.

The Soul-devouring Demon Lord took a deep breath to steady his emotions; his Demonic Thought stirred as he summoned several Demon Lords and ordered a number of Ancestor Demons to come to his aid.

Before long, the Blood Refining Demon Lord, the Shadow Demon Lord, together with over a dozen Ancestor Demons, found ways to disengage from battle and appeared one after another at the Soul-devouring Demon Lord’s side.

"This Five Elements Array before us is laid down by ’Sword Immortal Li’, its power boundless. If we do not shatter it swiftly, this battle will be perilous indeed!" The Soul-devouring Demon Lord transmitted in a deep voice, ordering the Ancestor Demons: "You lot, launch your attacks toward the Array Hub, draw their attention. Blood Refining, Shadow, you two coordinate with me and break this array together."

The Blood Refining Demon Lord and the Shadow Demon Lord exchanged a glance and nodded.

The Ancestor Demons looked grim; this endeavor was fraught with peril, yet faced with the Soul-devouring Demon Lord’s command, they could do nothing but grit their teeth and advance.

The Ancestor Demons each unleashed their Divine Techniques; in an instant, all manner of Demon Qi churned across the sky, intertwining and colliding with the Power of the Five Elements of the Five Elements Array, erupting in deafening explosions.

However, the Five Elements Array seemed to possess endless strength, spontaneously generating the Power of the Five Elements, transforming into giant Five Elements palms that blocked their attacks one by one, allowing none to penetrate. On the contrary, as the onslaught intensified, the Power of the Five Elements emanating from the Five Elements Array grew ever stronger, launching counterattacks against the Demon Cultivators.

"This Five Elements Array is actually this terrifying!" An Ancestor Void Refining Demon could not help but exclaim, a trace of fear flickering in his eyes; he had clearly not anticipated the Five Elements Array to wield such formidable power.
