Chapter 186: Chapter 131: External Assistance_1

Translator: 549690339

Thunderbolt Hell Iron Fortress, no shape seen in all directions, copper walls and iron ramparts a thousand zhang deep, golden light dazzles the eyes with lightning, misfortune clouds overhead bringing thunder, Demon King and generals wail in despair, even the soul of the Demon Emperor True Monarch fades away.

This is the scene at this moment.

The Thunder Series commands the divine, Purgatory Siege enfolds.

Tens of thousands of Demon Soldiers, trapped within, with misfortune clouds above them bringing incessant thunder, and endless abyss below with space inverted, all around, everywhere, copper walls and iron ramparts, lightning flashes scaring them away.

Such spells are no longer human efforts, but divine majesty!

Even a Taoist True Monarch would exhaust all his mana and still would find it difficult to invoke.

Only by setting up a ceremony and gathering the strength of tens of thousands can one cast it.

Within such divine power, even the Demon Emperor True Monarch feels desperation.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Thunderbolt Hell and Iron Fortress, with thunder rolling down intermittently, lightning streaking menacingly among the array of demons, causing countless casualties to Demon Soldiers and generals and even Demon Kings, who can only desperately flee in panic.

But at this moment, where can they escape to?

Among the demons, those capable of flight soar towards the sky, hoping to surpass the thousand-zhang fortress.

Yet as soon as they reach the sky, they are met with a dense and solid layer of misfortune clouds veiling overhead, filled with thunder and lightning. In the blink of an eye, they fall like mosquitoes, charred to ash.

If not the sky, then to the earth.

Among the demons, those adept at burrowing dive downwards, trying to penetrate the bottomless abyss.

However, the abyss is endless, making it impossible to flee; they soon find themselves back where they started.

This is due to the space being inverted and the formation being chaotic!

Thunderbolt Hell and Iron Fortress is not a simple divine skill, but a combination of cultivating skills and formations.

Formation within the spell, spell within the formation, once the thunderbolt transforms into hell and the iron wall encircles, it forms its own realm, with the setup being mysterious and profound.

Ordinary skills of flying or burrowing can’t break through it at all.

Seeing this dire situation, the crowd of demons is even more frightened; several Demon Kings, in anger and horror, directly activate their spells, striking at the copper walls and iron ramparts, hoping to break through the siege and make a way out.

However…

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Spells strike, lightning explodes, the techniques of the Four Methods and Five Elements, all are dissipated by the power of thunder and lightning.

Copper walls and iron ramparts, now conductive of lightning, are not only untouchable, but also dissolve magic.

After all, among the three thousand paths of Taoism, only the Thunder Series is supremely revered!

The strength of thunder, the pivot of heaven and earth, represses all mana in the world.

The Four Methods or the Five Elements, as long as they share a similar level, they are suppressed by the Thunder Series.

Now, in terms of realm, cultivation, Taoist Cultivation and mana, or level of authority, which among these Demon Kings can compare with Xu Yang, who sits upon the Nine Ceremony High Altar, with the power of tens of thousands, achieving Unity of Heaven and Man, commanding Taoism and divinity?

Breach the siege?

Sheer folly!

Thunderbolt Hell and Iron Fortress represents a point of no return!

“This…”

“What can we do, what can we do!”

“Ah!!!”

“King of Chu, you son of a bitch!”

“You’ve killed us, you damned killed all of us!!!”

“We must find a way to open a passage; otherwise, we’re all going to die here.”

As thunder roars and wails echo, the numerous Demon Kings, disregarding their worries of Chu Gonghou the Demon Emperor’s power, curse wildly and cry out in panic.

At this time, Chu Gonghou, Sword Demon Ape, Shocking Thunder Jiao, and True Monarch Xunlong, four sixth-realm powerhouses, had already gathered together.

He paid no attention to the curses of those Demon Kings, for at the moment, breaking through the siege was his top priority as well.

But how to break through?

The walls, towering over ten thousand zhang, thick beyond measure, further reinforced by lightning.

Though they are sixth-realm powerhouses, Demon Emperor True Monarchs, far more powerful than the myriad Demon Kings, to shatter such an entrapment…

“Unless there is a second Divine Ferry Treasure Boat!”

Shocking Thunder Jiao cast his gaze directly upon Chu Gonghou.

“Easier said than done, where would we get a second Divine Ferry Treasure Boat?”

Chu Gonghou gritted his teeth, feeling a deep pain and desolation.

That Divine Ferry Treasure Boat, made from the molt of a True Dragon and the treasure that secured the Chu family’s position, an ancient legacy of a formidable demon power, which he usually regarded as precious as life, was now shattered by Xu Yang, wielding the might of the Thunder Ancestor.

Without this treasure, how could his Chu family establish themselves on Mount Mang henceforth?

No, no, no, it was no longer a problem for the future, surviving was the main concern.

Chu Gonghou turned his gaze to that monk-like but unorthodox True Monarch Xunlong and spoke with a heavy tone: “It has come to this, Master, won’t you take action yet?”

Within his words, he placed his last hope in the other’s hands.

“Amitabha!”

Upon hearing this, Xunlong didn’t shirk, and after a resonant chant of Buddha’s name, he offered the method to break the deadlock: “This spell is extraordinary, this formation profound. To split them would mean certain death, only by uniting our strength to attack one spot, do we have a thread of hope.”

After speaking, he pointed to the north: “Together, we assault this place with me. There will be reinforcements coming, a synergy from within and without. We must break the formation and open a path. Remember, on this hinge our life and death, so no one should hold back their strength, hoping for luck, else it’s but a road to death.”

The three companions of Chu Gonghou looked at each other and then nodded in agreement: “We will follow the Master’s words.”

“Good!”

Xunlong didn’t waste words, bellowed loudly, and the mighty chant of Buddha’s voice somehow overpowered the thunder, echoing throughout the field and commanding the tens of thousands of demons.

“This path has displayed divine power, forcibly breaking the Divine Ferry Treasure Boat, causing great loss of mana. Thus, for the time being, he has nothing to follow.”

“Once he recovers and unleashes powerful divine skills again, we will surely die. If you want to live, follow me, strike with all your might at the north wall!”

After saying this, without waiting for the reaction of the demons, he activated the spell. A bright beam of Buddha light appeared, heading straight towards the northern wall.

“Boom!!!”

The True Monarch used his cultivating skills, the Buddha’s light vast and mighty, but still no match for the divine power of thunder, his full-force strike shattered before an iron wall as impenetrable as bronze.

However, this strike had given them direction, pinpointing the location.

“Kill!”

“Those who don’t want to die, charge with me!”

“Only by breaking through the formation will there be a chance to live!”

Xunlong led the way, with the three emperors following behind.

Chu Gonghou, already in his True Body form, let out a long howl, and astonishingly, a silver moon appeared above him, making his fur shine with a silver-white translucence.

Heavenly Wolf Howling Moon!

The wolves of the Chu Family from Mount Mang were descendants of a great demon bloodline, progeny of the Heavenly Wolf.

His Innate Divine Ability allowed him to harness the power of the Supreme Yin Moonlight, greatly enhancing his combat strength in a short time.

Young Master Chu had once used this technique to elevate his strength to a level nearly equal to that of a Demon King.

As the patriarch of the Chu Family Wolves and a being with the body of a Demon Emperor, how could Chu Gonghou be inferior to his descendants?

Activating his Divine Skills, Heavenly Wolf Howling Moon, Chu Gonghou’s aura skyrocketed, and he finally spat out a silvery-white spherical core.

It was the Demon Emperor’s Inner Core!

A sixth realm Demon Emperor, possessing an Inner Core, it was an artifact of dual cultivation of life force, the foundation of all foundations.

With Divine Skills and Inner Core in play, it was clear he was fighting with all he had.

A shadow of the Heavenly Wolf, fierce and thundering, rushed out, colliding straight into the northern wall.

“Roar!”

The Sword Demon Ape also let out a roar, drawing the demonic sword from its back, and in an instant, man and sword unified, turning into a crimson sword light accompanied by boundless killing intent, rushing towards the northern wall as well.

It was precisely the technique of uniting man and sword, the art of Sword Artifact cultivation.

It too was going all out!

“Roar!”

With Chu Gonghou and the Sword Demon Ape betting their lives on their attacks, the Shocking Thunder Jiao naturally did not dare to hold back and transformed into its true Thunder Jiao form, opening its mouth to spit out a lightning-flashing Dragon Ball, the Demon Emperor’s Inner Core.

Upon releasing the Inner Core, mana broke free like a flood, a dragon- or python-like thunderbolt burst forth over a thousand feet long, straight towards the northern wall.

“This…”

“Damn it!”

“All in!”

Seeing the three Demon Emperors make their move, the Demon Kings, trapped in a dire situation and left with no choice, clenched their teeth and once again stimulated their mana, bringing out their trump cards, each displaying their Divine Skills in a manner similar to the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, assaulting the northern wall together.

“Rumble!!!”

At one point in the northern wall, a horde of demons attacked so fiercely that even walls of bronze and iron, thousands of feet high, shook with each strike.

Thunder and lightning dispelled the offense, shattering one spell after another, yet hundreds and thousands more followed in rapid succession.

Pressure surged for a moment.

But these were grand Divine Skills and such an onslaught, while intense, failed to show signs of defeat, resulting in a white-hot deadlock.

If the situation dragged on like this, the demons would exhaust their strength, and the siege might not even break.

After all, behind the siege lay a million commoners and a vast array of rituals to provide support.

But just as the standoff reached a deadlock…

“Rumble!”

Outside the siege, there was sudden turmoil within the earth.

The Earth Dragon turned over, shaking all directions, as an enormous figure burst forth from the soil and slammed heavily against the iron walls of the siege.

This figure, dragon-like yet with the semblance of a Jiao, stretched for over a thousand feet, its entire body crimson as blood, with countless limbs and feet, and its head opened like an abyss, revealing a fierce maw.

It was… a Heavenly Dragon, a Blood Armored Sky Dragon!

Heavenly Dragon, also called the centipede!

This Blood Heaven Dragon, a thousand feet in length, emerged from the deep earth, leaving behind a dark and profound abyss.

Its strength was formidable, and its momentum immense!

Such a colossal demon, with all its power unleashed in one strike, hammered down upon the iron walls of the siege.

Simultaneously, from within the siege, the three emperors and a monarch, along with the demon horde’s assistance, coordinated an inside-out attack.

“Rumble!”

No matter how solid the bronze walls and iron barricades, no matter how mighty the Thunder Series Divine Skills, they could not withstand the desperate struggle of tens of thousands of demons paired with the massive demon’s attack from outside, resulting in a world-shaking impact that shattered the bronze wall, collapsed the iron barricade and opened a path to life.

“Charge!!!”

With the iron walls shattered and the path to life opened, the demon horde did not dare to delay and rushed towards the outside world.

The Blood Armored Sky Dragon, too, sought to withdraw after its success, its thousand-foot body turning to slip back into the earthly abyss.

However…

“Hmph!!!”

A cold snort sounded, thunder like massive pillars relentlessly crushed downwards, striking the body of the Heavenly Dragon, blasting its carapace and flesh into charred ashes.

“Roar!!!”

The Blood Armored Sky Dragon let out a mournful cry but did not dare to counterattack, diving into the abyss, disappearing in a blink as it fled.

Although the Blood Armored Sky Dragon was wounded and fled, the iron fortress of the siege had ultimately crumbled, and seizing the opportunity, the demons surged out of the Thunderbolt Hell.

However…

“Big Dipper Pivot, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!”

“Kill!!!”

Thousands of swords, a vast flow, overwhelmed the sky, descending in waves
