124: Demon Slaying Formation

Yuxu Academy was shrouded in darkness.

A rift appeared silently in the sky, and a terrifying pressure descended instantly.

"What happened?"

Someone asked in panic, looking at the sky with an uneasy expression.

"This pressure is just too terrifying..."

Someone's face turned ugly; affected by the pressure descending from the sky, they could barely control their body and wanted to prostrate themselves on the ground.

"Is this... Devilish Qi?" someone exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, it is definitely Devilish Qi. I once encountered a Demon Race attack while on a mission outside the defense line; it's exactly this aura!"

Someone cried out, their face full of disbelief.

"Impossible, impossible, the Demon Race cannot cross the Human Race defense line..."

"That is the Martial Dao Great Wall forged by the flesh and blood of countless ancestors..."

"The defense line... has it been breached?"

"Impossible, impossible! I must be dreaming!"

Someone stumbled backward, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Rip!

Just then, the nine peaks, led by Yuxu Peak, suddenly erupted with brilliant rays of light that shot straight into the clouds, instantly illuminating the night sky.

The endless rays of light soared into the sky, weaving and converging high above to condense into a great net spewing silver electric light, shrouding the entire Yuxu Academy.

Clang, clang, clang!

The alarm bell rang, its piercing sound echoing in every corner of Yuxu Academy.

Then, a calm voice resonated throughout the entire Yuxu Academy.

"The Demon Race is attacking. All Disciples, listen up: immediately sit where you are and reverse-circulate the Basic Body Tempering Art to supply energy to the academy's array."

Everyone was startled, but after a brief moment of shock, they immediately calmed down and quickly sat cross-legged to reverse-circulate the Basic Body Tempering Art.

...

In front of the Trial Tower.

Hearing the voice, Mo Fan and Li Zhining also hurriedly sat down and quickly reverse-circulated the Basic Body Tempering Art.

In an instant, wisps of silver radiance appeared on their bodies, rapidly converging toward the light shield high in the sky.

Wisps of silver radiance rose from every corner of the academy, like light rain flowing backward, rapidly condensing onto the protective light shield.

As the "light rain" continued to converge, the protective light shield became increasingly brilliant, emitting a powerful and heavy aura.

"With the protective Magic Array, unless a Supreme descends, no creature can breach Yuxu Academy."

The Disciples of the academy all breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes flashing with keen light.

In this era, the Supremes of all races constrain each other, and they have not appeared for a long time.

Looking at the increasingly brilliant protective Magic Array, Mo Fan also felt relieved.

While reverse-circulating the Basic Body Tempering Art, he sighed with emotion:

"The Basic Body Tempering Art is truly the greatest creation of the Human Race after entering the High Martial Era..."

The Basic Body Tempering Art is an introductory Cultivation Technique that every citizen of Blue Star must practice, and it is also the most suitable Cultivation Technique for the Human Race in the Body Tempering Realm.

The ten billion Human Race members of Blue Star must all practice the Basic Body Tempering Art once they reach the required age.

Generally speaking.

Normal practice of the Basic Body Tempering Art can refine the physique, forge a body most suitable for absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy, and lay a solid foundation for the future path.

However, reverse-circulating the Body Tempering Art allows one to release the energy condensed through one's own practice.

This released energy can be absorbed and condensed by special Magic Array rune markings to strengthen itself.

Such Magic Array rune markings generally exist on the high walls of the defense line, which is the so-called Martial Dao Great Wall.

The mountain-protecting Magic Array of Yuxu Academy also references the core Magic Array rune markings of the Martial Dao Great Wall, and naturally, it can also absorb the energy released by everyone.

It is precisely because of this characteristic.

That the Martial Dao Great Wall can withstand demon invasions time and time again, guarding the mountains and rivers of the Human Race.

Because the Martial Dao Great Wall gathers the power of the entire Human Race.

"But what is the situation right now... Is it a Demon Race invasion?"

Looking at the endless dark mist outside the defense line, Mo Fan felt a bit dazed.

He even suspected that he was dreaming.

A moment ago, everything was fine.

How could there suddenly be an invasion?

Did the Martial Dao Great Wall fail to intercept the invading demons?

Or was the Jiangcheng Base breached?

"I was planning to make a name for myself by clearing the Trial Tower..."

"Why does it suddenly feel like the world is about to be destroyed?"

"Isn't this too ridiculous?"

Mo Fan was trembling with cold rage.

He even suspected that Heaven was targeting him.

Just then, there was a muffled boom.

The rift in the sky became increasingly clear, stretching for miles, emitting endless dark mist.

Following that, humanoid creatures shrouded in dark mist, three to four meters tall, exuding cold and violent auras, walked out of the rift.

An invisible pressure descended, causing ripples, and space seemed to have frozen.

Everyone was terrified.

If not for the mountain-protecting Magic Array.

Those Disciples with slightly lower cultivation would likely have been killed on the spot by this pressure.

...

Yuxu Peak.

Sect Head Gu Qingshan stared intently at the sky, his aged face seemingly devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"Three thousand elite Demon Race members, all with auras above the Transcendent Realm."

"Eight great demons at the Guiyuan Peak are positioned in eight directions."

"Hundreds of Heavenly Fate Demon Generals surround them."

"What a Demon Race, such high-end combat power..."

"Are you not even a little bit heartbroken? Are you not afraid that my Yuxu Academy will wipe you all out at once?"

He took a deep breath, hesitated for only half a second, and then reached out to slash through the Void Realm.

Immediately, a large seal with a simple appearance, emitting a pale golden light, slowly emerged.

Once the seal appeared, space seemed to be frozen, and layers immediately became distinct, like a stone dropped into a calm lake, causing endless ripples.

Gu Qingshan reached out and caught the seal, his eyes full of coldness.

Rashly entering the Human Race territory.

Regardless of the purpose of this demon army, they are undoubtedly courting death.

He had already received the news that the defense line had not been breached.

The Demon Race used some strange means to tear open space and teleported some of their forces over.

Currently, only Yuxu Academy has encountered such a situation.

After noticing the abnormality, the authorities have already dispatched experts to assist in exterminating the demons.

The only thing Gu Qingshan worried about was that these demons would scatter and crazily attack the Human Race.

In that case, it would undoubtedly cause immeasurable losses.

But as far as it looks now, the target of the Demon Race seems to be only Yuxu Academy.

"Although I don't know the purpose of the Demon Race, since they have come, this old man cannot hold back; I must use all my strength to exterminate the demons!"

He took a deep breath, and while concentrating, he transmitted his voice again to give specific instructions:

"Grand Elder, continue to control the protective Magic Array!"

"Elders of each peak, immediately go to Yuxu Peak and join forces to activate the Demon-Slaughtering Killing Array!"

"All Disciples, continue to reverse-circulate the Basic Body Tempering Art!"

...

Sword Pavilion.

Liu Xiyan looked at the sky with worry.

Looking at the constantly appearing Demon Race troops, she felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding in her heart.

Although there is a protective Magic Array, the Demon Race cannot stir up big waves.

Even just by controlling the Magic Array, one could wipe out these demons.

But for the Demon Race to make such a move, it is obviously impossible that they are just here to throw their lives away.

She thought of the evil sacrificial ritual in the border area of the Southern Region.

"Could there be any connection—"

However, the moment this thought arose, her delicate body trembled, her almond eyes widened, and she looked at the sky in disbelief.

Boom!

Purple lightning, several meters in diameter, suddenly appeared, slithering across the sky like a thunder Dragon.

Then, inside the space rift that was about to close.

A creature with an ugly face, horns on its head, wings on its back, four or five meters tall, shrouded in dark mist, and exuding a terrifying aura slowly crawled out.

In its hand, it held a plain-looking, ancient spear.

Obviously, this is a great demon.

Its cultivation far exceeds the Guiyuan Peak.

But it has not yet reached the Supreme.

Such a Realm is called quasi-Supreme, or half-step Supreme.

A quasi-Supreme is only one step away from comprehending their own Dao and becoming a true Supreme creature.

Of course, what terrified Liu Xiyan was not this.

Even if it is a half-step Supreme.

It is impossible to breach Yuxu Academy.

What terrified her was the spear held in the hand of this quasi-Supreme great demon!

"That is the Demon Race Sacred Artifact, the saint slaying spear, which appeared at the bottom of the Demon Abyss along with the first generation of demons!"

"The situation is bad; a half-step Supreme great demon wielding the saint slaying spear has combat power comparable to a true Supreme!"

Thinking of this, Liu Xiyan's face changed drastically, and her hair stood on end.

Just then—

Boom!

A muffled boom.

That half-step Supreme great demon silently swung the spear in its hand, slashing fiercely toward the Yuxu Academy's protective Magic Array.

The originally plain-looking spear, at this moment, erupted with endless blood-colored light, emitting a terrifying pressure.

The pitch-black sky was illuminated bright red, as if it were a piece of cast iron that had been burned through and was about to melt.

Rip!

The spear struck down, transforming into a blood-colored Dragon, roaring silently, wanting to tear the heavens and the earth apart as it struck down toward the protective Magic Array.
