Chapter 715 - 456: Battle, Countermeasures (Part 2)
The Demon Venerable specialized in wielding the power of frost, leveraging the natural advantage of the ocean region to unleash a vast frost domain, attempting to freeze all enemies within blocks of seawater ice.
But the super-Innate expert of the Vermilion Bird Race, seeing this, released endless heat throughout their body, quickly neutralizing the frost capabilities of the Demon Venerable.
There were also Demon Venerables with a simple and unadorned fighting style, charging forward with sharp demon weapons with unparalleled bravery.
They were met by the super-Innate expert from the Black Tortoise Race, known for their invincible bodily defense. Without using any weapon, they could take on two, three, or even four Demon Venerables at a time, using their exceptionally mighty physical form to forcibly hold back the advancing strong enemies.
Not to mention the strong individuals of the Mieyue Clan, who practiced the Cyan Dragon True Spirit Dao. Their hallmark is balanced capabilities, able to handle any type of enemy with composure.
Particularly, the leader of the Mieyue Clan, Mieyue and Aotian, demonstrated terrifying combat prowess without even releasing the form of the Cyan Dragon.
He astonishingly within a few seconds of the battle’s onset, brutally crushed the skull of a Demon Venerable who charged at him with a single claw, while simultaneously turning around to kick another Demon Venerable attacking him from behind, driving them headfirst into the sea, eliciting towering waves dozens of feet high.
"The reputation of the True Spirit Four Clans is indeed well-deserved. Although the Demon Venerables hold a fourfold numerical advantage, they were the first to suffer casualties."
Outside the arena of high-power forces, Wang Zhifan remained hidden among the ordinary Mieyue practitioners, observing the distant battle scene.
As someone who had slain nearly fifty Demon Venerables and participated in many Great Demon Slaughter Wars, he had a clear understanding of the general combat strength of Demon Venerables.
Typically, unless there are significant restraining factors, regular super-Innate practitioners and ordinary Demon Venerables struggle to discern a victor in a short period.
The current situation he observed, where the True Spirit Four Clans, despite being few in number, could fight the demon army to a standstill and even gain a slight advantage, was enough to prove the extraordinary combat strength of the True Spirit Four Clans, beyond the ordinary super-Innate practitioner levels.
Hearing Wang Zhifan’s soft praise, the Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber didn’t respond. Her gaze swept over the entire battlefield, meticulously searching for something.
In front of them, the massive force of Mieyue practitioners had begun clashing with the demon army, composed of Demon Generals and ordinary demons.
The second battlefield took shape, and the bloody slaughter had begun. One by one, demons or Mieyue people screamed as they fell into the sea, dyeing it red.
But they paid little attention to this side of the battle because their presence here was merely to remain inconspicuous, not to be in charge of the engagements here.
In cold-blooded terms, the outcome of this second battlefield, whether victory or defeat, would not affect the overall direction of the war. To secure victory, they must conserve their precious energy for elsewhere.
"Why is there no movement yet? Is the Demon Realm’s army not planning to use suppressive treasures? If that’s the case, I’ll just strike directly."
After a short period, Wang Zhifan observed that both sides of the battlefield were engulfed in a stalemate, with neither side holding a clear advantage.
He was the only one hidden here without anything to do, and the Mieyue Dragon Saber beside him seemed increasingly incapable of enduring being a passive bystander, forming such intentions in his mind.
After all, strategy is static, but people are dynamic. If the enemy doesn’t play according to their designs, they have to change their thinking.
After a short while, the experts from the True Spirit Four Clans and the Demon Venerables were embroiled in chaotic combat. Faced with one-on-many situations, they began to tire and gradually fall into a disadvantage.
Noticing that the suppressive magic treasure against them had not appeared, they simultaneously released their True Spirit forms, seeking to rely on the immense explosive power of their True Spirit bodies to decisively crush the enemy.
In an instant, above the Ancient Cyan Sea, the four categories of True Spirits, varying in size and aura, appeared consecutively, presenting a magnificent spectacle.
Among them, the largest by far was naturally the Cyan Dragon True Spirit of the Mieyue leader.
Its length was feared to be several thousand feet, and the weathered, majestic dragon head was as imposing as a small island, towering nearly ten times the size of most other True Spirits. With a casual toss of its tail, it could force multiple Demon Venerables into a panicked retreat.
One Black Tortoise True Spirit was the second-largest.
Its form was a fusion of tortoise and snake, bringing a unique aura of majesty within its eccentric image, with both heads capable of launching attacks simultaneously. The shell’s defensive capacity was so unfathomably strong, it fearlessly charged into the deepest part of the enemy lines, intending to disrupt the formation of the Demon Venerables.
Several White Tiger True Spirits were slightly smaller than most Cyan Dragons and Black Tortoises, but in terms of destructive power, they might be the strongest.
The bodies of every White Tiger True Spirit were filled with an eye-searing aura of menace, like white reapers. In the flicker of their movements, Demon Venerables found themselves unable to defend, letting out tragic cries; they were heavily injured or even killed in an instant.
Vermilion Bird True Spirits, without a doubt, were the smallest among all True Spirits, but they were extremely swift, having their bodies enveloped in mystical flames. Wherever they went, the seawater of the Ancient Cyan Sea bore the mark of fire.
Many Demon Venerables, affected by the divine flames on their bodies, couldn’t help but endure the scorching pain, employing various methods to extinguish the fire.
Unfortunately, their actions were anticipated by the Vermilion Birds. With a blaze, terrifying claw marks were left on several Demon Venerables.
Simultaneously, the flames on the Demon Venerables’ bodies grew increasingly intense, even submerging in the seabed couldn’t extinguish them. They were burned alive bit by bit into ashes.
In summary, with the True Spirit Four Clans releasing their True Spirit forms, having briefly fallen into a disadvantage, they immediately turned the tables, starting to overwhelmingly suppress the Demon Venerable army, numbering four times their own, with the situation turning greatly in their favor.
Seeing this turn of events, Wang Zhifan could no longer hold back, unwilling to remain a mere spectator from beginning to end. He spoke before the Dragon Saber could open her mouth:
"Xi, let’s move out too! Together, we’ll deliver the final blow to the demons!"
"Alright, Fan!"
Immediately, the two figures shot out from their hiding spot, with Wang Zhifan brandishing the Epic Layer Blade of Time in his hand, while the Dragon Saber drew the Thunder and Fire Dual Sabers from her waist. Together, they charged into the area of the mixed battle between the Demon Venerables and the True Spirit Four Clans. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Initially, Wang Zhifan thought the Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber would immediately release the Cyan Dragon form for a massacre, but he was surprised to find she had no such inclination, appearing poised to confront the enemy in her normal state. However, he soon understood the reason as he approached the front of the battle.
Because currently, there were as many as thirty True Spirits on the battlefield, and their sizes were extraordinarily large, with a height of a hundred feet considered the smallest, this naturally led to interference when battling the Demon Venerables, hindering their combat efficiency from reaching its peak.
This was an unavoidable inherent issue caused by large size, so the Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber did not intend to join and add to the chaos, opting to fight flexibly in her normal dragon maiden form.
Just as Wang Zhifan and his companion were about to reach the engagement zone, a sudden anomaly occurred!
In a large portion of the surrounding sea area, a visibly intense smell of blood suddenly rose, rapidly converging into the high sky!
In almost a blink of an eye, a pitch-black orb emerged high up in the sky, quickly obscuring the sun’s position, plunging the entire sky into instant dimness!
At the same time, this sea domain began to be shrouded by an unusual dark aura, causing nearly a hundred active Demon Venerables in combat to experience a state surge, emitting excited roars!
In contrast, the massive True Spirits appeared as if hit on the head by a mountain and began to stagger, nearly losing their combat capabilities!
The tide of the battle seemed to be decisively shifting towards the Demon Realm’s side!
"This is not good! The demons indeed have means to counter the True Spirits, and the countermeasure is much more effective than your clan chief predicted!"
For a moment, Wang Zhifan was shocked, turning to look at the Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber beside him.
But he discovered that, although she did not fall clumsily into the sea like the True Spirits, her complexion had indeed turned extremely pale, and her aura was somewhat unstable, evidently being heavily affected by the demons’ countering methods.
"Quickly, get inside the tower! Leave this to me!"
Without much thought, Wang Zhifan immediately took out his legendary treasure, the Black Obsidian Tower, placing the dragon maiden inside with a swift motion to prevent the adversary’s methods from affecting her further.
Without skipping a beat, Wang Zhifan employed his legendary Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill, charging at the black orb high in the sky, intent on destroying it in the shortest possible time.
