CHAPTER 974: CHAPTER 743: A JOINT ENCIRCLEMENT AND SLAUGHTER

Thirty Mahayana Cultivators arrived together, waiting for the thirty Great Demons of the Demon God Realm.

These thirty Great Demons hailed from under three Demon Kings, with the leaders being the Great Demon Treasure Elephant, the Great Demon Golden Roc, and the Great Demon Sky Wolf. They were not like the other Great Demons, not just because their power was at the peak among Great Demons, but because their bloodline was sufficiently high-level.

This is the rule of the Demon God Realm, only demons whose bloodline and power are sufficiently strong can become leaders.

"Cunning cultivators." The Great Demon Sky Wolf snorted heavily.

"Though cultivators are despicable, their flesh is quite tasty. There’s nothing more delicious than the flesh of Mahayana Cultivators in the world, it makes my mouth water just looking at them." The Great Demon Golden Roc coldly stared at those people, his gaze like that of a predator surveying its prey, full of aggression.

"Now is not the time to eat them; their leader has reached an agreement with our Demon King. We have to wait for the Demon King Order before taking action, don’t act recklessly." The Great Demon Treasure Elephant warned, "Let’s follow the rules and first join forces with these people to kill off the experts on Earth."

"The Evolvers on Earth are too weak; if the Demon King acted, they would’ve been wiped out long ago, how could they still be alive now?" The Great Demon Golden Roc said disdainfully.

However, Treasure Elephant did not forget the task given by the Sky Moon Demon King, he spoke, "Let’s meet up with them first and see the situation. If there’s no issue, we’ll do as before, join forces to eliminate this batch of Earth Evolvers and end this battle."

"The others stay back, Golden Roc, Sky Wolf, you both come with me."

As he spoke, the three Great Demons broke away from the other Great Demons and flew towards the cultivators.

Meanwhile.

The other cultivators stood in the air, forming formations in waiting, and Elder Xuan Yang, Heavenly Light Saint, and Lingshuang True Man, the three strong at the peak of the Mahayana Stage, also broke away from others and flew forward to meet the three Great Demons for some exchanges.

The three demons and the three Mahayana Cultivators soon met.

"According to the rules, it’s your turn for the cultivators to lead the attack this time. We Great Demons will ambush those Evolvers trying to escape. Once they suffer heavy casualties, the cooperation ends." The Great Demon Treasure Elephant said with a stern face.

Heavenly Light Saint immediately said, "No problem."

"There are only twenty-nine opponents this time participating in the battle." Elder Xuan Yang reached out and pointed, revealing a battlefield map with his Divine Sense. There were twenty-nine points near the center of the map, indicating the positions of those twenty-nine Evolvers.

The three Great Demons took one look and immediately memorized the map and positions.

They lacked the Divine Sense of cultivators and couldn’t lock onto enemies so precisely yet extensively, so both sides would exchange information before the battle to ensure the victory was foolproof.

"If there are no other issues, let’s proceed as planned." Treasure Elephant said.

"Alright, then it’s settled." Heavenly Light Saint nodded slightly.

After a brief contact, both sides left, knowing that in the past, after the Evolvers were defeated, they would suddenly break out into battle amongst themselves, so while appearing to cooperate, both sides were indeed potential enemies.

After the meeting ended.

Soon.

Whether Great Demons or cultivators, they all resumed action. This time, they didn’t leisurely fly in the sky but immediately transformed into strands of tunneling light, carrying the endless Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth, heading straight towards the location of the Evolvers.

The surging demonic power, the vast Spiritual Energy, and the chilling killing intent could be felt even from afar.

"They’re coming; the Great Demons and cultivators are coming together to attack us."

The Evolvers, waiting with vigilance, felt a chill in their hearts. Everyone understood that life-and-death combat was imminent, though it was unclear who would lead the main attack this time.

Li Yi, hidden in the clouds, had already adjusted his state to its peak. He held the Red Gold Shattering Star Spear in hand, using the perception of the Primordial Spirit Dharma to capture the opponent’s position, ready to act at any moment.

The enemies had yet to approach.

The violent wind between heaven and earth had already ceased, and the sands in the air seemed to hold still, suspended mid-air under the influence of the two terrifying energies.

Moreover, the cosmic energy in this area rapidly began to thin out.

Everyone was brewing their peak strike, exhausting the cosmic energy on this battlefield.

The massacre between top-tier experts on the battlefield wasn’t flashy; they started with the strongest blow, aiming to eliminate the opponent as quickly as possible.

Bright cosmic energy lit up at various places on the battlefield, and every Evolver exerted their full strength. Only their responsibilities differed, with some choosing to attack and others to defend.

But no matter what, they had to survive the first wave of attack.

This was unavoidable, as the opponents came prepared, while they could only defend, leading to an inevitable disadvantage.

Ye Jingtian took a deep breath, the Red Gold Treasure Armor on him glinted with Divine Light under the infusion of cosmic energy. This Divine Light intertwined, protecting him, while a formidable aura emerged from the Purple and Blue Treasure Sword in his hand.

"It’s coming."

Suddenly.

Everyone’s soul warned, a terrible crisis suddenly enveloped the entire battlefield, and every Evolver felt targeted, their hairs stood on end involuntarily.

Due to the numbers, every Evolver would face an attack; there was no luck factor of not being attacked.

So survival depended entirely on one’s strength.

This is why Evolvers on the battlefield at least need to have the power to fight against Great Demons.

The thirty strands of tunneling light of Mahayana Cultivators appeared in the distance in view, and the moment they just emerged, the entire heaven and earth seemed to have entered an apocalypse, with terrifying visions appearing frequently.

Thunders covering the sky, heavenly fire burning everything, sword gleams slicing everything, and the dazzling radiance of Magic Treasures...

The Mahayana Cultivators unleashed their peak strikes at this moment, attempting to inflict heavy losses on the Evolvers in the first wave of their joint assault.

And it wasn’t just the Cultivators who showed up.

All around, the aura of the Great Demons spread, with thirty of them besieging the entire battlefield, waiting for the Cultivators to finish their main assault before striking, leaving the Evolvers no chance to catch their breath.

"So this is a battlefield..." Ye Jingtian’s pupils suddenly contracted, feeling his whole body trembling.

No.

It was the entire world that was trembling.

"The combined strike of thirty Mahayana Cultivators is truly terrifying." Li Yi marveled inwardly, realizing that he couldn’t attack now and could only defend.

The three layers of Heavy Armor on him radiated Divine Light, steadfastly protecting him.

Previously, he thought he was being overly cautious by wearing three layers of Heavy Armor, but now it seemed that this was absolutely the right decision. If he had relied solely on the Red Gold Purple Feather Armor, he wouldn’t have had the confidence to withstand this wave of attacks completely.

If he was thinking this way.

What about those who didn’t have the Red Gold Treasure Armor?

Li Yi, at this moment, already sensed the cruelty and conviction in this, but he didn’t think much further as he had a heavy task this time, since everyone was coordinating in battle with him.

If they couldn’t break these formidable enemies this time, many would die because of him.

His palm involuntarily gripped the Red Gold Shattering Star Spear tightly.

Then Li Yi suppressed his impulse to act, watching helplessly as the thundering skies, wrapped in purple heavenly fire, charged at him under the blessing of countless Flying Swords.

Even though the Evolvers were positioned far apart from each other.

The attack range of the Mahayana Cultivators’ strike was so wide that one couldn’t dodge but had to endure it with all means possible.

Rumble!

The world turned over, and the earth roared.

The joint strike of the opponents finally arrived as expected.

Li Yi instantly felt his form unable to remain hidden, but fortunately, the interweaving Divine Light around him displayed astonishing defensive power. The Flying Swords that pierced the mountains rivers struck him, yet didn’t move him an inch but were instead shattered by the Red Gold Divine Light.

The vast purple flames and thunderbolts fell upon him, but were equally blocked by the Battle Armor on his body.

He even sensed a soul attack.

Though the opponent’s Cultivators were insidious, their battle prowess was undoubtedly strong, and their cooperation made the attacks comprehensive. A slight negligence on your part could lead to a grave wound, quickly followed by death from other attacks.

However, with three layers of Heavy Armor and the Supreme Treasure Red Lotus protecting his Primordial Spirit Dharma, all these attacks were ineffective.

Li Yi successfully withstood the first wave of attacks.

But not everyone had his level of strength and foundation. Some Evolvers managed to resist several divine thunder strikes, only for their soul to suddenly suffer heavy damage, causing their form to sway and spit a mouthful of blood.

Soon after, before he could recover, the countless Flying Swords, like rain, poured down, hitting his Battle Armor and tearing through his defenses.

"Damn it."

The Evolutionary roared in anger and defiance, his form overwhelmed in the attacks, leaving nothing behind.

His strength wasn’t weak, in a one-on-one, a Mahayana Cultivator wouldn’t be able to take him down.

But this was the battlefield.

"This time it’s the Cultivators leading the assault. After the first wave, those Great Demons will act next, don’t let your guard down, hold on," Xiang Feiming roared loudly, gathering all his power to protect himself.

There were also Evolvers who poured all their strength into delivering a strike beyond their peak, forcibly repelling the attack in front of them, easing the defensive pressure for their comrades in the area.

Fortunately, this terrifying attack came quickly and faded just as fast.

The battlefield’s violent aftermath hadn’t even dissipated when waves of terrifying Demon Qi swept in.

At this moment, the Great Demons from the Demon God Realm couldn’t hold back and entered the fray early.

Meanwhile, the Cultivators in the sky briefly recuperated after their strike, preparing for the second round of battle.

Only with such coordination could the Evolvers be overwhelmed and ultimately routed and scattered.

Before, they won battle after battle this way.

Feeling the approach of the Great Demons, Li Yi almost instinctively wanted to swing his Red Gold Shattering Star Spear to cleave their heads off and take their lives.

"Li Yi, don’t be impulsive, you can’t strike yet. We must wait until the Cultivators step in, otherwise, if you alert the thirty Mahayana Cultivators, we’re bound to lose." Liu Yunbai’s voice once again reached Li Yi’s ears.

The Mahayana Cultivators were too cautious. Without a clear understanding of the battlefield situation, they wouldn’t rush in but stay on the sidelines observing.

If things went south, the thirty of them would form a formation and retreat.

It was only when everything seemed fine, that they would rush in to take advantage, harvesting the wounded Evolvers and winning battles effortlessly, while that would be the best moment for Li Yi to strike.
