Chapter 1881: Three Moves to Break the City, Demons Fall 2
Facing Jiang Chengxuan, who had unleashed the might of a Golden Immortal, even with the protection of the city’s great defense array, the entire demon city was nothing more than a flickering candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
“No—! Quickly notify the Ancestor! Put every effort into activating the city defense array—!” the Tongtian Demon Lord shouted desperately.
But in this life-and-death moment, the ruthless resolve within the Tongtian Demon Lord was ignited. He had no intention of giving up the fight directly. Instead, he roared out recklessly.
At his roar, the demon cultivators above the city finally reacted. They forced down their fear and followed the Tongtian Demon Lord’s orders, unleashing all their demonic energy—pouring it into the defense array without holding back an ounce.
After all, these were disciples from Golden Immortal-level factions who had witnessed Golden Immortal power firsthand. Moreover, the city’s protective array had some ability to resist a Golden Immortal’s power temporarily. So they fought with all their strength, still clinging to a thread of hope.
“Ahhh—!” That glimmer of hope drove countless demon cultivators to unleash their hidden potential. Millions of demonic energies shot forth, merging into the magical barrier and refining it to the utmost, solid and unyielding like the earth’s crust, forming a celestial shield that surrounded the entire demon city.
Even the oppressive pressure released by Jiang Chengxuan was largely resisted; the distortion in the void gradually faded, allowing many demon cultivators to catch a glimpse of hope. They thought, “As long as the Arrogant Blood Demon Immortal arrives, we still won’t die!”
With this thought, all the demon cultivators burst out with an unprecedented concentration of power.
Yet, facing the uprising of countless demons and the increasingly solid defense array and magical barrier, Jiang Chengxuan remained calm and unhurried, steadily condensing his Golden Immortal power.
A thousand miles around him was enveloped in cosmic phenomena; stars shimmered, and countless invisible star rivers flowed toward him, delivering terrifying immortal energy!
With every movement of his hand, he could summon the power of an entire universe—this was the true skill of a Golden Immortal! To oppose him was to oppose the entire cosmos!
[Ding!]
At that very moment, a cold voice suddenly echoed within Jiang Chengxuan’s consciousness, startling him but also filling him with joy. It was the voice of the system, long absent but now unmistakably clear. Its purpose was obvious.
[System issues a task: The host is to complete the achievement of breaking through ten demon cities!]
Sure enough, the system immediately issued Jiang Chengxuan a long-awaited mission.
He remained expressionless but smiled quietly to himself.
“Since everything is ready, let me see just how hard it is to break through this Tongtian Demon City.”
Then, without hesitation, he spoke slowly and calmly—his voice ignored the void and reached the ears of every demon cultivator, like a death sentence.
The next moment, before everyone’s eyes, Jiang Chengxuan moved.
He merely waved his large hand toward the star-enveloped demon city; the entire universe seemed to revolve. Brilliant star rivers blazed brilliantly, burning fiercely as they crashed down!
The power of countless complex and unfathomable cosmic laws was contained within, and an immense, overwhelming immortal power converged, darkening the sky and spanning the void, mercilessly overturning everything!
Wherever it passed, the solidified demonic energy was instantly scattered like dust.
There was no delay; this force struck the magical barrier manifested by the city’s defense array.
A deafening roar erupted!
“Boom!”
The terrifying power of a Golden Immortal covered nearly the entire demon city in an instant, like an invisible giant hand grasping it tightly.
Immediately, countless thousands-of-feet-long thunderbolts exploded, a wave of destruction sweeping and annihilating every inch of space!
“Ugh!”
“No—! I can’t hold on!”
In just a moment, the millions of demon cultivators inside the city felt a fierce backlash surge violently through their bodies, rushing through their meridians in chaos!
Against Jiang Chengxuan’s power, countless demons were beaten to the point of vomiting blood and crippled by just a glance; some were killed outright from a distance, turning to black smoke!
At the forefront, many Arrogant Blood Sect elders felt their entire bodies tremble as if shattered into pieces, overwhelmed by pain.
It was as if a giant dragon had collided with them head-on—terrifying power infiltrating and ravaging their bodies.
“Hum—!”
With the aftershock spreading, the city’s defense array developed many cracks.
The murky demonic energy was swept away, revealing a fragile barrier, like a mirror ready to shatter.
Moreover, countless demon cultivators tasked with stabilizing the array were killed or seriously wounded in this strike!
Simply put, Jiang Chengxuan’s casual strike inflicted an indelible impact on the demon city and its defenders.
“Cough, cough…!”
Tongtian Demon Lord was utterly speechless, his eyes filled with terror.
He finally understood the cruel reality: with their strength, they were utterly unworthy of opposing Jiang Chengxuan!
For him, killing them would be as effortless as a casual move!
Who exactly was this powerful being? Why did he come to trouble the Arrogant Blood Sect?
For a moment, the Tongtian Demon Lord’s mind raced with questions.
He couldn’t understand why such a formidable figure would suddenly target them.
The man appeared so young and enigmatic, with traits that didn’t match any Golden Immortal they knew.
Clearly, he was not the ancestor of this ancient domain’s forces.
But no one could answer these questions, and Jiang Chengxuan himself certainly wouldn’t.
He had never been to the ancient Golden Immortal’s tomb and did not know Jiang Chengxuan personally.
And the Arrogant Blood Demon Immortal’s crushing defeat in that tomb meant he would never reveal Jiang Chengxuan’s existence.
“Boom!”
In no time, Jiang Chengxuan’s next strike descended again, still a simple move.
He summoned Golden Immortal cosmic power, turning it into a torrent to suppress the city.
The familiar heavenly light swallowed everything, covering the entire magical barrier of the defense array, unleashing terrifying destructive force without reservation!
“Ugh—!”
“We can’t hold this! Such power is beyond us!”
“Run! If we don’t flee now, we’ll all die here!”
This time, as the defense array shattered, so did the morale and faith of the millions of demons inside the city.
Another wave of backlash spread, causing tens of thousands of demons to fall.
Eventually, the army’s spirit collapsed completely.
In an instant, within the demon city, all the demons staggered, withdrew their demonic energy, and fled desperately!
They didn’t know where to go, only that if they stayed, they would die instantly.
They had to get away from that terrifying presence immediately!
On the city walls, the Tongtian Demon Lord and many demon sect elders were heartbroken beyond words.
The defense array had been shattered by Jiang Chengxuan’s casual strike; the backlash had grievously wounded them.
They could only wait for death.
Even as the army fled, they had no strength left to resist, screaming curses in despair.
“Can they still withstand one more strike?”
Jiang Chengxuan said calmly, raising his hand again to bring down another suppression.
“Boom!”
This time, without the support of millions of demons, the already fragile defense array collapsed with a roar, like a star falling apart, the end of days descending!
In the void, demonic energy was torn apart; huge fragments of space flew and fell everywhere, like meteors streaking through the void, the sky ablaze with flames!
At the same time, stretches of city walls shattered under the aftershock, falling like mountains, their towering shadows crashing down.
Countless demon cultivators were buried alive in the rubble, while others were swept up in the storm and turned into clouds of blood mist.
The once magnificent demon city was shattered into ruins after just three strikes from Jiang Chengxuan, leaving no trace of its former grandeur.
