Chapter 666: Chapter 391 Ambush! Battle!_2

Mr. Lu spoke up: "Adding Xiao Li’s own cultivation, along with the great array formed by those behind him... it can indeed hold back a Saint Master who has left their Sacred Land!"

"This Kui Bull is tied to Beishan Sacred Land. Now that it has left its Sacred Land, it has lost the advantage of its dojo and weakened by a notch..."

The Great Banner Master’s gaze flickered as he murmured in a low voice: "If I sacrifice my life and use the Heavenly Kui Flag, can we manage to keep It here?"

"The chances are slim."

Mr. Lu shook his head and said: "Even outside its Sacred Land, it is still a Saint Master after all!"

After a pause, Mr. Lu added: "Moreover, Xiao Li and the others lack the will to fight to the death. With their level of cultivation, merely holding off the Great Saint of Beishan is already a testament to the foundation of the Holy Alliance before our Human Clan’s Saint Master."

"To put it bluntly, even if you, the Great Banner Master, have hidden stronger means, this Great Saint of Beishan is not tied to defending a fixed position and can retreat at any time. If It decides to leave, who could stop It?"

"Don’t dwell on achieving greater victories."

Mr. Lu said this and then reflected: "However, the formation that Xiao Li and those behind him used to combine their efforts is truly marvelous!"

"Aside from the corresponding formations of the Sky Gang Flag and the Earth Evil Flag, none of the military arrays within South Mountain Sacred Land or the Three Mansions come close to Xiao Li’s formation!"

"The Sky Gang Flag and Earth Evil Flag are limited in number, difficult to replicate, and too constrained in application."

"But Xiao Li’s formation doesn’t seem to rely on external objects. I suspect it might be an Ancient Formation!"

"If we could obtain this formation and utilize it widely in the military, with a large force of soldiers... it could make up for our lack of ’high-tier powerhouses’!"

After another pause, Mr. Lu said in a low voice: "Tomorrow, you and I must devise a way to acquire this formation from Xiao Li!"

The Great Banner Master’s eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded.

But he hesitated and said: "The Saint Master has already entered the Demon Domain tonight. If he doesn’t show up tomorrow, how will we negotiate this formation with Xiao Li?"

"We’ll have to think of another way."

Mr. Lu said this and then added: "Judging by the timing, he should have reached the place by now with his Step by Step Lotus technique..."

——

North of the Demon Domain.

Along the great river, the soldiers on the city walls were highly vigilant.

The Demon Domain spanned an immense area, encompassing what was once the territory of the Three Great Holy Lands.

On Deceit Night, the domain was filled with countless evils, each with its own territories ruled by powerful beings.

Even the Holy Alliance, when facing the Demon Domain, could only adopt a defensive stance.

Historically, the boundary was drawn along the river—on one side was the Holy Alliance, and on the other was the Demon Domain.

But today, before nightfall, Prince Zhen Nan had already led his army to assault the Demon Domain.

"Generals, don’t you feel this is going too smoothly?"

A Great General tasked with staying in the rear said with a heavy expression: "Even with the Prince leading the charge, the journey this far has been too straightforward, sweeping through all obstacles effortlessly... Yet, by nightfall, the Demon Domain remains strangely unresponsive."

An elderly man stroked his beard and smiled, saying: "I have heard that the Demon Domain’s forces have all headed south to attack Taixuan Divine Mountain. Even the Demon King who resides in our northern sector has left long ago... With the Prince’s prowess and the elite forces under his command, an unstoppable offense is to be expected."

"Night has fallen..."

The Great General’s expression grew grim as he said: "The Prince has been causing such a ruckus; it’s unnatural for the Demon Domain to make no moves at all!"

The other man, hearing this, showed some unease but then let out a sigh of relief and said: "The Prince has always been cautious in deploying troops. If he has chosen to act this time, he must have a foolproof plan."

"Report!"

At that moment, a Colonel hurried in, his face pale with panic, saying: "General Li, something terrible has happened..."

"What is it?"

The commander left in charge felt his heart sink.

"The various informants we planted in the Demon Domain are sending back messages one after another..."

The Colonel spoke with a trembling voice: "Just about an hour ago, within the territories of the various Demon Kings and Evil Venerables, humans were selected overnight to serve as sacrifices and were sent to various locations..."

As his words fell, another officer stumbled in, shouting: "Something’s gone wrong... All the Pure Lands within the Divine Mirror’s field of observation have been destroyed!"

"What?!"

General Li froze in place, his face turning deathly pale.

——

Within the Demon Domain.

Tens of thousands of martial artists from the Human Clan formed military arrays, acting as one entity.

At the forefront of the array, Prince Zhen Nan had a somber expression and let out a sigh.

He looked ahead, where over a hundred humans reared by the evils had drawn their blades and killed themselves, shouting oaths to serve the Divine Spirits.

That place... had once been a large Pure Land.

Now, this large Pure Land had begun to show ominous signs.

Soon, it would transform into a Forbidden Land!

Different Pure Lands housed various Suppression Objects, and the type of ominous signs they generated varied as well...

Especially for large Pure Lands, the ominous signs they produced could manifest as an immensely powerful entity, sweeping across entire regions.

"Pure Lands are typically sanctuaries for the Human Clan... but for evils, they are something to be avoided at all costs."

Prince Zhen Nan sighed and said: "Even evils surpassing tiers dare not destroy a Pure Land, lest they awaken its Suppression Object and bring calamity upon themselves!"

He looked into the depths of the dark night and said: "I don’t understand how you dare to awaken the Suppression Objects of more than twenty Pure Lands in a single night."

Lightning flashed across the sky.

The Taiyin Thunder Envoy’s figure emerged.

"Naturally, with the guidance of the Old Gods."

The Taiyin Thunder Envoy said slowly: "These so-called Pure Lands are merely relics of the Ancient Era, containing the Mana of True Gods within."

Prince Zhen Nan’s expression grew heavier.

Awakening a Suppression Object would simultaneously awaken the remnant divine powers of the Old Gods within!

Suppression Objects fueled by the divine power of Old Gods would unleash an unparalleled, terrifying force.

The higher the tier of the Suppression Object, the more abundant the Old God’s power within, and the greater its might!

Back during the Second Emperor’s Era, a single large Pure Land had been destroyed, causing its Suppression Object to awaken. The divine power it unleashed gave rise to an indescribably horrific entity.

It devoured seven peak-tier God Lords in succession, growing even more fearsome, and not even a Saint Master could suppress it!

In the end, it required the Human Emperor personally intervening to subdue the calamity born from the Suppression Object!

"Some Suppression Objects retain remnants of consciousness, even intelligence..."

Prince Zhen Nan said: "They will target the true culprits who destroyed their sanctuary and broke their slumber... Do you tier-surpassing evils truly have the means to neutralize the disasters tied to the Old Gods?"

"Spare yourself the worry!"

A voice echoed from afar, saying: "Without the Pure Lands, your troops will have no foothold! Any thoughts of seizing the Demon Domain while we attack Taixuan Divine Mountain are sheer fantasy!"

"The current Saint Master of Da Liao Sacred Land?"

Prince Zhen Nan’s gaze sharpened as he said: "It seems that the one awakened by the Saint Master is not just the Great Saint of Beishan."

"Since the Human Clan’s Saint Master has already emerged, such a juicy piece of meat surely can’t be left for Kui Bull to devour alone."

In the distance, a massive lion gradually appeared, its blazing eyes alight as it said slowly: "The Saint Master is destined to fail in subduing the Human Clan’s Saint Master tonight. At best, he will force the Taixuan Divine Mountain to exhaust their strength with the ’Great Purple Talisman Star Array,’ leaving them powerless to deploy the array tomorrow night."

"As for me, I will take advantage of tonight to crush you, Prince Zhen Nan, and annihilate your elite troops, ensuring peace of mind."

The lion’s overwhelming aura and ferocity far surpassed that of the Taiyin Thunder Envoy.

Nearby, Demon Kings began to emerge one by one, joined by tier-surpassing evil spirits.

"If I fall tonight, and my army is obliterated, the Holy Alliance will be thrown into chaos... Even if its leadership decides to rally their forces and launch a full-scale assault into the Demon Domain, such efforts will not come quickly."

Prince Zhen Nan sighed and said: "In conclusion, with my death tonight, you can break Taixuan Divine Mountain tomorrow night, splitting the spoils of the Human Clan’s Saint Master without fearing reprisals against your own Sacred Lands from me..."

He then chuckled and said: "But who says the time to break the Sacred Lands must be tomorrow night? And who says it must be my blade that does the breaking?"
