Chapter 462: Feast and Slaughter!

Chapter 462: Feast and Slaughter!

"Save Lian Xi!" a voice thundered, slicing through the chaos like a sword through silk.

The calamity wrought by the Nian had thrown the realm into disarray, its sheer force witnessed by millions as three true immortals were struck down, their demise sending shockwaves of fear that scattered souls and spirits. The masses, in a blind panic, tripped over each other in their haste to escape, their screams, curses, and cries of agony mingling into a cacophony that split the air.

Yu Nichang and her companions, though wary of the Nian, saw in this turmoil an opportunity. As the populace fled in terror, they emerged from the shadows, advancing towards the shattered execution platform. Their figures, mere hundreds against the chaos, went unnoticed.

"Stop your foolish talk; it might not be the Nian!"UpTodated novels at novelhall.com

"It's certainly not the Nian. It reeks of demon essence. This is a supreme demon!"

Despite the panic, the Jade Immortal Tower Lord, Tian Yulan, and thousands of Yin-Yang Immortals, backed by a legion of descendants, stood their ground. Nothing in this world could daunt the descendants of the Three Immortals.

"The remnants of the Primordial Academy are here!"

"Block them!"

The Mystic Earth Immortal was nearby, and amongst the tens of thousands, a fierce resolve burned. Most kept their blood cold and their minds clear. They divided their forces, some focusing on Yu Nichang and her group, while the rest, numbering close to 100,000, simultaneously summoned their magic treasures, Sword Souls, and Life Sigils, directing their might against the silver behemoth at the heart of the storm.

The loss of Tian Ding and the other two had scarcely diminished their collective strength. A hundred thousand descendants attacked in unison, their power sweeping towards the silver beast like a torrential downpour.

"Strike!" Magic treasures, Sword Souls, and Life Sigils burst forth in a dazzling array of divine lights, cutting through the heavens and piercing the murky haze brought by the Nian.

A hundred thousand intents to kill, intensified by the attacks of the Yin-Yang Immortals, formed a storm of destruction that even the Three Immortals themselves might not withstand.

Yu Nichang looked up, her heart tightening with anxiety. Lian Xi was near the Nian, caught in the midst of this devastating assault.

The Nian, massive in stature, found itself at a disadvantage under the barrage of relentless assault.

"Fear not!" came a rallying cry.

"Even the Nian is but a pig or dog at the hands of the Three Immortals descendants!"

Spurred by the descendants' fierce onslaught, the millions of panicked citizens of the realm steadied their spirits. Halting their frantic escape, they turned back, raising their arms in a roar, "Destroy this beast!"

Demons, devils, and the Nian—all must fall for the world to see a brighter dawn.

Hatred rekindled in the eyes of the people as they witnessed the attack.

BOOM! A hundred thousand magic treasures, Sword Souls, and Life Sigils converged into dense clouds of color, raining down upon the silver behemoth.

"Lian Xi!" The six-tailed silver fox, with its silver-white eyes, glanced at the girl still bound to the compass, its silver visage growing colder, more murderous.

"You are..." Lian Xi's eyes trembled, staring in disbelief.

Moon Fairy did not respond. Instead, it positioned itself protectively in front of her.

With a roar, it unleashed a torrent of yellow and white flames, swirling into a massive sphere that expanded to almost 1,000 in diameter. The sphere, with its fiercely spinning flames, met the incoming magic treasures, Sword Souls, and Life Sigils. The moment of impact saw the sphere explode into a shockwave of fire that swept the magic treasures and Life Sigils along, hurling them back at the descendants of the Three Immortals surrounding them.

"Be careful!"

The scene resembled a person stepping into an ant colony, crushing countless lives beneath their foot.

The Nian reveled in its feast, unchecked by Moon Fairy. To Yun Xiao, these descendants were nothing but parasites upon the masses, numbering in the tens of thousands.

In this moment, his mind harbored only a singular thought—extermination. He was not Lian Xi; with his heart consumed by a towering rage, anyone who crossed his path would meet their end.

"Kill! Kill!" His silver form, like a reaper, plunged the tens of thousands of descendants into a hellish nightmare. Even as thousands of Yin-Yang Immortals encircled and attacked Moon Fairy, their efforts barely scratched his tough hide.

A defining trait of the Nian was its insatiable hunger. Though it sustained injuries, the flesh and blood it devoured healed its wounds, making it and Moon Fairy increasingly ferocious with each kill.

"Hold on! The Mystic Earth Immortal will return soon!" Celestial Official Qin and others cried out, their eyes bleeding with desperation.

With a roar, Moon Fairy's claw pierced through his body. The threat posed by these Yin Immortals was minimal, to say nothing of the descendants of the Three Immortals.

The Mystic Earth Immortal wasn't far away and had never imagined that the Nian could inflict such devastation on his progeny in such a short span of time.

Screams of horror echoed continuously.

Looking around, the vicinity of the Jade Immortal Tower had turned into a veritable hell on earth. Over 50,000 descendants of the Three Immortals lay dismembered. The efforts of three centuries were decimated in barely a moment by the concentrated fury of the Nian, leaving the surviving descendants in a state of utter terror.

They watched the six-tailed silver fox with tears streaming down their faces, their usual arrogance stripped away to reveal the raw, bloodied visage beneath.

And the six-tailed silver fox continued its ferocious roar, more akin to the tyrant of all demons than any enchanting fox, its fangs and claws as menacing as a nightmare.

This massacre left over 300 Yin-Yang Immortals dead, including many Manor Masters and Celestial Officials.

"Touch my Lian Xi, and I'll turn your entire Three Great Ruins into a necropolis today!" In the midst of this carnage, every hair on the silver behemoth dripped with blood, its body adorned with chunks of flesh. Its crimson teeth, along with the silver and dull yellow eyes, portrayed it as a demon incarnate.

This was Yun Xiao's vengeance.

"This Nian is terrifying..." Yu Nichang and her companions, previously hindered by the Three Immortals' descendants, now found their path clear. Nothing stood in their way but the Nian itself, a sight that left them awe-struck.

"The Mystic Earth Immortal has returned!" Yu Nichang frowned, spotting a flash of silver in the sky.

"The Nian is formidable, but it might not best the Mystic Earth Immortal in a duel..." Yun Dahe said through gritted teeth.

"Quickly! I'll sneak over and retrieve Lian Xi; you create a diversion!" Yu Nichang decided then and there.

"Understood!"

They moved swiftly.

Transforming into a beam of white light, Yu Nichang darted towards Lian Xi across the blood-soaked ground.

To the onlookers from the surrounding realms, this act of valor reignited a flicker of hope and rage.

Clearly, no matter how many of the descendants were slaughtered, as long as the Three Immortals remained, the faith of millions would never be extinguished.
