Chapter 823: Chapter 442: Seventh Life: Explosive Cultivation Surge, Peak Demon Monarch! (Part 2)
These alien races from the Demon Realm fearlessly throw themselves like moths to a flame, tirelessly launching wave after wave of attacks on Black Rock City.
This has caused the once impregnable rune city wall to now be on the verge of collapse, as if it could crumble at any moment.
"Sir, the Demon Race has gone mad. They have increased their forces many times over recently. If this continues, I’m afraid the wall will be breached sooner or later."
One Returning Void Ancient Saint looked at the Black Rock City Lord and spoke anxiously.
"I’ve already requested reinforcements from headquarters, let’s hold out a little longer."
The Black Rock City Lord sighed and said helplessly.
Since the Noble Family Grand Competition started, those noble family prodigies have gone crazy hunting Demon Race experts on the battlefield to earn more competition points.
With a large number of Demon Race experts slain, the demon army’s aggression hasn’t diminished; instead, it has become even crazier.
This has caused the defensive pressure on all cities to suddenly increase several times.
But at this moment.
Five terrifying figures suddenly charged out from the rear of the demon army, joining forces to attack Black Rock City’s defensive array.
Seeing this scene, the Black Rock City Lord’s face changed dramatically.
Because these were five Demon Monarchs, terrifying existences comparable to Unity True Immortals!
Moreover, compared to ordinary Demon Monarch experts.
The sheer force of these five figures was astonishing, with demonic Qi nearly solidified, sweeping in all directions, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
Almost every one of them possessed peak Demon Monarch cultivation!
"Five peak Demon Monarchs?"
The Black Rock City Lord exclaimed in disbelief, his heart sinking into the abyss.
Just as the Unity True Immortal Realm is divided into early, mid, late, and perfection stages.
Demon Monarchs are similarly divided into lower, middle, upper, and peak ranks.
Among them, lower class Demon Monarchs are the weakest, equivalent to early-stage Integration Cultivation.
As for peak Demon Monarchs, they are the strongest among their rank, only a step away from advancing to become Demon Race Venerables.
Under normal circumstances.
A single peak Demon Monarch is enough to alter the outcome of a conventional battle.
But now that five peak Demon Monarchs have come forth, even with over a dozen mid-stage Unity True Immortals stationed within Black Rock City, they are unlikely to escape death!
"It’s over..."
Looking at those five terrifying figures blotting out the sky, the Black Rock City Lord felt a chill in his limbs, his mind consumed by endless fear and despair.
As for all the city guards, their faces were deathly pale, bodies trembling uncontrollably, their inner resolve and beliefs vanishing into thin air.
This was not because they were afraid of dying, but because the gap in power between both sides was too vast, and no matter how they resisted, they ultimately stood no chance of victory!
In fact.
Things were exactly as they anticipated.
"Boom!"
The five peak Demon Monarchs jointly struck heavily against the surface of the city defense array above Black Rock City.
In the next moment.
The barrier array that once seemed invulnerable shattered with a ’crack,’ just like a broken mirror, and exploded.
Many city guards affected by this force didn’t even have time to scream before they exploded into blood mist out of thin air.
The strike from the Demon Monarchs was terrifyingly potent!
However, what the Black Rock City Lord and his people did not expect was that, after shattering the city defense array, the five peak Demon Monarchs did not immediately massacre the city.
Instead, they stood high in the sky overlooking the entire city, their eyes scanning around, as if searching for someone or something.
"You’ve killed the direct lineage of this King. Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, you won’t escape death!"
"You have three seconds to come out and accept your fate."
"Otherwise, I will raze this city to the ground, and millions of Star Alliance warriors will die because of you!"
A Unihorn Demon Race Monarch spoke coldly, his voice like thunder, exploding in everyone’s ears.
His gaze was indifferent, sweeping over all the city guards, as if looking at a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered!
"A noble family prodigy killed the offspring of a Demon Monarch and then sneaked into this city?"
The Black Rock City Lord’s face turned extremely grim, finally understanding what was going on.
Meanwhile.
In an inconspicuous mansion within the city, two women were huddled in the corner of a room, not daring to breathe, fearing to attract attention.
Their faces were pale, clothes stained with blood, as if they had suffered severe trauma, their injuries yet to heal.
Upon hearing the Demon Monarch’s words, their bodies trembled uncontrollably with fear.
"Those damned scoundrels of the Li Family, the Demon Race prodigy was clearly killed by Li Yunxuan, yet they deliberately framed us."
"Yao Yu, what should we do now?"
A young girl in a green dress gritted her teeth, clenching her fists tightly.
"At this point, saying anything more is of no use."
Another woman in a purple dress sighed, then forcibly propped herself up, intending to step out of the mansion.
"Yao Yu, are you really planning to go out?"
The young girl in green hurriedly grabbed her arm.
"A life for a life, but we can’t let millions of people be buried with us, can we?"
"You stay here and try to get the message back."
"I can die, but Yao Peak must not be harmed."
The woman in purple spoke calmly, clearly prepared to meet her end.
However, she also understood that the Demon Race was insidious and treacherous, their words not to be trusted.
But with things having reached this point, there was no way out.
In any case, since death seemed inevitable, this was the only course of action left.
"But..."
The young girl in green attempted to protest, but Yao Yu interrupted her.
"Time is short; you must go now. Find a way to leave the city, I’ll do my best to attract attention."
After that.
The woman in purple handed several life-protecting talismans to her.
Only after completing this did she quietly leave the area, appearing in the outside world.
"This matter started because of me alone; it has nothing to do with anyone else."
Yao Yu soared into the air, appearing before the five Demon Monarchs, and spoke calmly.
"A mere late-stage Unity True Immortal dares face me directly. You truly have some courage."
The Unihorn Demon King stepped forward as if teleporting, appearing before Yao Yu.
"Not good."
Yao Yu’s pupils contracted, instinctively wanting to retreat, but her body couldn’t keep up with her consciousness.
The disparity in power between a late-stage Unity True Immortal and a peak Demon King was too great, and coupled with her existing injuries, she couldn’t muster much combat strength.
Before she could act, a large, scaled hand clamped tightly around her neck, making breathing incredibly difficult.
"I killed the person. As promised, you should let them go."
Yao Yu’s face turned ashen, struggling to speak, forcing a few words from between clenched teeth.
"Courage, but you’re too naive to believe the Demon Race’s promises."
The Unihorn Demon King sneered, revealing an extremely cruel smile.
Demon Race experts grow up amidst deceit and treachery, and breaking promises is as routine to them as daily life.
"Everyone, eradicate this city, sever their heads, consume their flesh! I will ensure they forever regret stepping onto this battlefield!"
As soon as the words fell.
The demon army below erupted in cries and roared like a torrent, rushing towards Black Rock City from all directions.
"You despicable bastards!"
Though Yao Yu anticipated that the Demon Race would not keep their promise, seeing the Unihorn Demon King’s shameless behavior still ignited fury within her, causing her to struggle intensely.
Yet the Unihorn Demon King’s hand was as ironclad as a vice, leaving her powerless despite her struggles.
The most dire situation was.
With the demon army’s fierce assault, the Black Rock City guards retreated step by step, suffering heavy casualties in the process.
But just as Black Rock City was about to be overrun.
A golden light suddenly roared from the horizon, descending upon the battleground.
"Yao Yu? Why are you here?"
The golden light gradually dissipated, revealing a black-haired youth’s figure.
The youth’s long hair draped over his shoulders, robes flapping, and his dark eyes deep like the starry sky.
As soon as he spoke.
The previously clamorous demon army fell silent.
Every demon expert’s body froze, seemingly bound by some force, stuck in place, unable to move!
