There were only less than four hours left for all the cultivators of Wei Nation and the Fiendcelestial Cult disciples.
If the Fiendcelestial Cult could take down Wei Nation within four hours, the fall of the Wei Nation would be a disgrace to the Ten Nations, and the whole Great Xia Dynasty would quake because no one would take the responsibility.
However, if the Fiendcelestial Cult did not take Wei Nation down within four hours, it would be a huge disaster for the Fiendcelestial Cult.
The Fiendcelestial Cult had sent almost their entire cult and the scheme that they had carefully planned for decades was kept fully confidential. After all, the fact that it could remain a secret in the presence of the Great Xia Dynasty’s intelligence agencies was enough to prove the determination of the Fiendcelestial Cult.
The secret planning lasted for as long as 25 years, during which all the participants stayed still in order to prevent the news from being leaked.
That was also the reason why the Ten Nations and the Great Xia Dynasty were unaware of it.
In fact, the Fiendcelestial Cult used secret treasures to suppress the heavenly secret and thus made it impossible for the Great Godfiend’s Heavenly Secret Pavilion to predict the disaster.
All in all, no matter how the future generations tried to deny the conspiracy, they had no choice but to admit that the Fiendcelestial Cult was smart and determined.
They were determined to fight the Great Xia Dynasty to the end.
Outside the capital of Wei Nation, there were corpses everywhere.
About 50% of the Wei Nation army had already been killed and the Fiendcelestial Cult didn’t have it any better either.
However, the Fiendcelestial Cult brought three treasures that would determine the victory of this sudden attack. They were just waiting for the time to be ripe to deal the Ten Nations with the final blow.
In the Wei Nation, there were several massacres.
The several batches of cultivators had already had their eyes turn red from killing.
Under the fearless willpower of the people, there would basically be a fair exchange of blows between them and the Fiendcelestial Cult. There wouldn’t be a one-sided situation.
The Nascent Soul realm cultivators would fight against the Nascent Soul realm cultivators, while the Golden Core realm would fight against the Golden Core realm, and the Foundation Establishment realm would fight against the Foundation Establishment realm.
The battle between both sides was intense and there would be people falling every single second. However, that was also the reason why there would be people standing out every second.
The Fiendcelestial Cult disciples clearly didn’t expect the cultivators to be so tenacious either, thus causing the battle to reach a stalemate.
If they were unable to achieve true suppression, it would be bad for both the external and internal sectors.
However, the Wei Nation cultivators saw a glimmer of hope.
At this moment, in the middle of the void, several Nascent Soul realm powerhouses of the Fiendcelestial Cult were also communicating.
“The Sect Master has started urging us to stop delaying and quickly suppress the capital of this nation in order to start the sacrifice. If we activate the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner earlier, we can end this raid sooner too.”
A divine voice sounded and urged the crowd to hurry up so as to not disrupt the plan.
“Hmph, those old fogies are holding on stubbornly but they have no idea that they’re already a sitting duck. However, I didn’t expect them to dare to fight. This is a really troublesome thing.”
“Yeah, the resistance of these nobodies has delayed my plan. They developed a battle intent because they see some hope. Hence, we have to suppress them and not let them have any trace of hope. Otherwise, they might really disrupt our plan.”
They communicated with each other. They weren’t afraid of the Nascent Soul realm powerhouses of the same realm at all, but rather, they were scared of the fearless nobodies in the array formation.
It was not that they were worried that the numerous cultivators could work together to defeat them, but rather, they were worried about the delay. They had to kill the cultivators in the array formation and use their blood and resentful spirits to activate the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner.
Once the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner was activated, the outcome would be decided.
That was also the reason why they said that they only had four hours for the battle.
However, a powerhouse spoke up calmly at this moment.
“The reason that this group of cultivators dare to resist is simply because of the presence of these geniuses, but these geniuses from the Ten Nations are indeed quite strong. However, this is all under the control of Sect Master.”
He looked extremely confident. In the void, the Nascent Soul realm powerhouse of the Fiendcelestial Cult couldn’t help but look at Ye Ping who was not far away.
‘What do you mean?’
Some people frowned, not understanding the meaning of this statement.
“Hmph, the Sect Master has long expected that there would be some invincible elites among the Ten Nations, so he has already sent 108 Holy Sons.”
After he said that, several Fiendcelestial Cult elders couldn’t help but be stunned.
“The Holy Sons are here?”
“What? The Sect Master actually sent the Holy Sons?”
They were shocked and seemed to be in disbelief.
The Fiendcelestial Cult was not famous only for the Four Kings of Hell. There were also the Twelve Golden Warriors, 36 Heavenly Spirits, and 72 Earthly Fiends.
The most famous was the 108 Holy Sons.
There was a saying that it was better to let the Sect Master die than the Holy Sons.
The meaning of this saying was very simple. The Sect Master was replaceable but the Holy Sons were not.
They were called Holy Sons in the Fiendcelestial Cult, but to everyone else in the world, all the Holy Sons were Devil Sons.
The Fiendcelestial Cult’s Devil Sons were elites that could gain the recognition of the world.
It was because the selection of the Devil Sons was extremely harsh.
Not all elites who had fast cultivation speeds could become Devil Sons.
Each Devil Son would have to be emotionless and without desire. However, they were not killing machines without sentience or minds of their own. On the contrary, they were actually very intelligent.
However, the strict selection process resulted in there being only 365 Devil Sons since its establishment.
Besides, all the Devil Sons were not of the same generation. The difference in age was probably 1,000 years.
In other words, the difference in strength between the Devil Sons was extremely different.
However, even so, those that could become Devil Sons were feared by the cultivators of the world.
The reason for the scarcity of Devil Sons was not only because they had to be elites, but also because they had to pass an inhumane test.
For example, they had to kill their loved ones or conduct a massacre in ten ancient cities alone. Sometimes, one would even have to become the king of a nation.
Who would be the ones to pass such a test?
Who would kill the person they loved?
No matter how ruthless they might be, they couldn’t possibly be that merciless.
Hence, the Devil Sons were the core strength of the Fiendcelestial Cult and each Devil Son was probably better than 100,000 disciples of the Fiendcelestial Cult.
However, the Devil Sons usually wouldn’t appear even if the Fiendcelestial Cult was destroyed.
Due to the fact that they lurked in the dark, they might be disguised as a farmer or even the king of a nation. They were the key existences for the revival of the Fiendcelestial Cult.
That was the fundamental reason why the Fiendcelestial Cult was so difficult to get rid of.
So what if one knew where the lair of the Fiendcelestial Cult was?
After destroying a lair, a random Devil Son would appear and that would allow the Fiendcelestial Cult to be revived.
In other words, killing a Devil Son was equivalent to killing a deputy Sect Master.
Hence, when they heard that the Devil Sons were coming, they were indeed shocked.
“Yes, the Sect Master has sent the Holy Sons specifically to deal with the elites. The Sect Master’s idea is simple, and that is to give them enough hope, and then bring them into endless despair. That’s the only way that the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner will become stronger.”
The other party said in a cold voice.
“When will the Holy Sons appear? How many will there be?”
Someone asked.
“I don’t know, and I’m not sure, this is a top secret that no one knows about except the Sect Master.”
The other party answered.
However, his statement made the powerhouses in the void fall silent.
On the other hand, in the capital of Wei Nation, Ye Ping was bathed in golden light.
He had already killed countless Fiendcelestial Cult disciples.
Like an immortal god of war, his fists were invincible and his sword contained immeasurable power. No one could resist Ye Ping’s attacks.
He was a true elite.
However, the other elites were not inferior either.
Like a dragon, Huangfu Tianlong released the Dragon-Elephant shadow to suppress things while the other elites like Nangong Xing, Zhang Ren, and Chen Hongfei also played a crucial role.
“The Fiendcelestial Cult is nothing more than this!”
At this moment, in the distance, Chen Hongfei beheaded dozens of people with his flying sword.
His eyes were filled with hatred for the Fiendcelestial Cult because they had killed the elder whom he respected the most
At the next moment, a black ancient spear appeared like a black lightning bolt.
It was so fast that almost no one could react in time.
Pfft.
Chen Hongfei’s chest cavity was pierced by the spear and his bloodstained bones were scattered all over the ground. He grimaced in pain that made his hair stand on end.
“Huh?”
He shrieked in misery as the spear pierced through his chest cavity, causing his body to fly backwards. After smashing more than ten buildings, he was pinned outside the array formation.
He was overwhelmed with pain!
The extreme pain caused Chen Hongfei to wail.
Some people in the array formation attacked and tried to pull Chen Hongfei in.
However, in the next moment, this black ancient spear exploded and hundreds of people were blown up alive on the spot. Chen Hongfei had died.
His corpse and bones were turned into ashes.
It was shocking.
Extremely shocking.
Many cultivators in the array formation were stunned. Chen Hongfei was the elite of the Chen Nation. Although he was not the best elite, he was considered a powerhouse, and it was obvious from his performance that he definitely wasn’t weak.
However, they did not expect him to be killed on the spot by an ancient spear.
At the next moment, a figure appeared and slowly walked out of a mass of black fog on the main street.
The black figure was emitting a suffocating aura that made everyone shudder before they could see his face clearly.
All the elites couldn’t help but look at the figure with curiosity in their eyes.
Tap Tap Tap Tap!
At this moment, the Fiendcelestial Cult disciples retreated in unison instead of continuing with the killing.
The change made all the cultivators become nervous.
“You’re getting up to nonsense!”
Nangong Xing, who was the closest to that person, immediately attacked. He struck with his palm full of the power of the stars in a bid to test his strength.
Boom.
Another ancient spear darted out and stabbed Nangong Xing at the speed of lightning.
At the same time, Nangong Xing was also prepared and a starry screen appeared in front of him as he tried to stop the attack.
However, a shocking scene appeared.
The starry screen could not stop this black ancient spear.
It directly pierced through.
Boom.
With a loud sound, Nangong Xing’s chest was pierced by the spear too and he landed among the crowd.
“Brother Nangong.”
Zhang Ren roared in anger, his eyes full of menace. Nangong Xing was his best friend, so how could he not be angry that his best friend died in front of him?
However, as soon as he said that, there was yet another sound of an explosion and before many of the cultivators could react, they were killed on the spot.
Everything seemed incredibly heartless.
“Beasts.”
At this moment, Zhang Ren roared in anger while the Blood and Qi Furnace appeared behind him. It was full of vigor and the real ability of Zhang Ren. It was extremely powerful as it charged towards the black shadow.
Boom.
Another ancient spear was launched.
However, Zhang Ren did not die as his Blood and Qi Furnace blocked the spear. Although it was punctured by the spear, it was not entirely broken.
“Die.”
Zhang Ren hollered furiously. He concentrated his energy and channeled all his Dharmic powers into the Blood and Qi Furnace in a bid to launch a single blow to end it all.
“No!”
“Watch out! It’s a Devil Son of the Fiendcelestial Cult.”
“It’s the Devil Son, Zhang Ren, come back quickly.”
However, at this moment, several voices came from the array formation, belonging to Nascent Soul realm powerhouses. They knew who this black shadow was and immediately hollered while some Nascent Soul realm powerhouses even crossed the great array formation in a bid to save Zhang Ren.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
A black ancient spear once again appeared, but this time, it appeared behind Zhang Ren.
Boom.
The Blood and Qi Furnace exploded but Zhang Ren’s body had already been crushed into bits.
Ruthless.
Absolutely Ruthless.
Countless cultivators in the array formation were completely silent.
Previously, with the elites around, they could at least see some hope.
However, to their surprise, a Devil Son appeared. He was actually so powerful that the famous geniuses of the Ten Nations were actually wiped out in one move.
It was too exaggerated and too incredible.
Boom!
Colorful mushroom clouds appeared in the sky again, once again signifying the failure of the Teleportation Array.
The multiple successive blows made many cultivators calm down.
They were full of zeal that allowed them to be fearless towards death. However, in such a situation, they could not afford to be suppressed.
However, at this moment…
Roar!
The roar of the Dragon-Elephant filled the air.
Huangfu Tianlong appeared behind the figure in the black fog.
He seized the time gap when the person killed Zhang Ren’to kill him.
The True Dragon-Elephant appeared and sent the Devil Son flying dozens of meters away
“Excellent!”
“Senior Brother Huangfu is indeed very powerful.”
“Senior Brother Huangfu is mighty.”
At this moment, countless cultivators within the array formation roared. The Devil Son was too strong, and as soon as he appeared, he was so invincible that he crushed the confidence of all cultivators.
Now that Huangfu Tianlong had successfully attacked, how could they not be surprised?
However, at the next moment, the figure instantly reacted and disappeared on the spot.
“Careful”
Everyone could not react, including Huangfu Tianlong. However, Ye Ping reacted immediately as he saw the enemy attack. His physical body moved quickly and tore through space, creating a huge storm.
The Golden Light of Expiation was shone on Huangfu Tianlong.
Previously, when Chen Hongfei, Nangong Xing, and Zhang Ren were killed, Ye Ping did not manage to release the Golden Light of Expiation in time. Now that he had been watching the battlefield closely, he could cast the Golden Light of Expiation in time.
Boom!
However, even with the Golden Light of Expiation, the Devil Son had already struck Huangfu Tianlong and sent him flying with one punch, shattering the golden light and causing Huangfu Tianlong to suffer heavy injuries.
The bones in his chest were all shattered, but under the enhancement of the secret technique, his condition was stabilized.
“This is a Devil Son, you can’t fight him. Hurry up and come back.”
At this moment, a Nascent Soul realm elder inside the array formation spoke up and informed the crowd that this was the Devil Son of the Fiendcelestial Cult.
He got everyone to return to the array formation.
He didn’t want there to be a bloodshed.
Whoosh
One by one, the figures returned to the array formation as they didn’t dare to compete with the Devil Son.
“Junior Brother Huangfu, go back.”
However, just as Huangfu Tianlong was about to fight again, Ye Ping suddenly told Huangfu Tianlong to go back.
It was because Ye Ping knew that Huangfu Tianlong could not defeat the Devil Son at all.
Huangfu Tianlong, who originally wanted to fight, couldn’t help but clench his fists and fly towards the array formation after hearing that
Ye Ping was the only person he would listen to.
However, the Devil Son in the black fog struck again, obviously not wanting to let Huangfu Tianlong escape.
His purpose for coming was simple. He just wanted to hunt geniuses and crush the confidence of the crowd of cultivators, so as to pull them down into the abyss of despair.
“You’re confident.”
However, at this moment, Ye Ping instantly struck.
His tone was calm as he appeared on the main street, retracting his flying sword and staring at the other party calmly.
Boom!
Roar!
At this moment, a 330 feet Blood and Qi Furnace appeared behind Ye Ping together with a 1,000-feet Qi and Blood True Dragon.
Ye Ping wasn’t conceited at all. He condensed the Golden Wheel of Expiation and went all out.
With the enhancement of the Golden Wheel of Expiation, the Blood and Qi Furnace glistened like a golden sun.
The rays of golden light shone and instantly dissipated the black fog while the other party’s face appeared in front of everyone.
It was a thin young man who looked rather sickly. He had a calm gaze in his eyes, but when he saw the Golden Wheel of Expiation, he seemed surprised. However, he still continued to charge towards Ye Ping.
Roar!
Ye Ping clenched his fists and enhanced it with terrifying Dharmic powers. The Blood and Qi Furnace rumbled while the Qi and Blood True Dragon hollered furiously.
Everyone could not help but look at Ye Ping.
They were staring straight at him.
The Devil Son of the Fiendcelestial Cult was repeatedly killing geniuses and suppressing them in an invincible manner.
Although Huangfu Tianlong attacked successfully, he still did not seriously hurt them in the end.
The Devil Son had become a nightmare in the hearts of countless cultivators and he was just like an invincible Fiendcelestial.
If Ye Ping lost again, their confidence would be completely shattered. Hence, they were looking forward to Ye Ping defeating him.
In fact, they would be excited even if Ye Ping reached a draw with the Devil Son.
Hence, this battle was very important.
The Nascent Soul realm powerhouses in the array formation couldn’t help but clench their fists too because they understood that their morale would be greatly reduced if Ye Ping lost.
However, there were also many people who were shocked by Ye Ping. After all, the Qi and Blood True Dragon was too terrifying.
At this point, the two of them collided.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The light of their fists collided, producing an extremely terrifying explosive force.
All the houses and buildings were turned into dust and all the buildings within a radius of thousands of meters were destroyed.
Some of the Fiendcelestial Cult disciples were turned into badly mangled corpses at this point. They died silently but also implicated many innocent cultivators and people.
In the South City Gate, there would have been countless deaths and injuries if they didn’t have the protection of the array formation.
Bang!
Ye Ping retreated by dozens of steps and so did the sickly young man.
Their physical bodies buzzed while their Qi and Blood rolled within them and their organs shivered. It was a true battle between elites.
At this realm, there was not much difference between their strengths.
Fortunately, the other party was only in the early-stage Golden Core realm.
If he was stronger, it would really be impossible to fight.
Ye Ping was now in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but he had a strong foundation and could break through to Major Perfection anytime. It was all up to him.
The difference between the two was a big realm.
However, the difference in strength was insignificant. Hence, it was enough to prove that Ye Ping’s real strength was greater.
It was mainly because of his Ancient Godfiend Body and the Ancient True Dragon fist technique coupled with his rich Dharmic powers.
Otherwise, it was impossible to compete with him.
However, no matter what, a big battle that was enough to affect the outcome had appeared.
The elites of the Ten Nations.
The Devil Son of the Fiendcelestial Cult.
A great war began.
