Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 231

Chapter 231: Grand Formation Under Siege Chapter 231: Grand Formation Under Siege The colossal column of light, born from Demonic Spiritual Qi, towered with a diameter greater than that of Verdant Leaf Giant Peak itself.

For a brief moment, it seemed as though a cosmic pillar of darkness had pierced both the heavens and the earth of the Immortal Martial Continent!

“What!

Such dense Demonic Spiritual Qi!” Ji Mingxiu’s expression shifted dramatically.

Without hesitation, he swallowed the pill Jiang Chen had given him and roared, “We must engage now!” “Attack!” Li Shang, Han Xu, and Liu Mei followed suit, consuming their half-pills in turn.

Their battle auras flared to life, power coursing through them as they charged at Dong Yuanzheng with reckless determination.

Xu Xinlan, alongside the other Dao Palace realm cultivators from Jade Lake Heavenly Temple, surged forward in a fury, unleashing their rage upon Dong Yuanzheng and his allies with fierce, unrelenting force.

…

Meanwhile, within the Purple Heaven Holy Land, the vast landscape was enveloped by a massive, radiant barrier.

This grand defensive formation was a result of merging the outer-sect and inner-sect formations into a single, unified defense.

Throughout the Holy Land, hundreds of thousands of disciples stood at the ready, each fulfilling their assigned roles-some maintaining the formations, others poised to launch attacks, while others were entrusted with healing the wounded.

Cultivators of every realm were prepared to face opponents of similar strength.

Junior disciples wouldn’t waste their energy confronting high-level demonic beasts, just as advanced cultivators wouldn’t bother with low-level creatures.

Instead, they focused on battling enemies of equal power as much as possible.

Disciples were stationed either at the critical array nodes or positioned within the protective formation itself.

Through the dense barrier, they gazed out at the unnerving stillness of the world beyond.

A nervous gulp broke the silence as one disciple swallowed hard, his anxiety apparent.

But he was just one of many feeling the weight of the coming battle.

The entire Purple Heaven Holy Land now resembled a taut bowstring, strained yet brimming with immense power, ready to be unleashed.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, and the once-pristine clouds twisted into menacing black tempests, swirling relentlessly.

Daylight and darkness swapped places in an instant, plunging everything under heaven and earth into shadow.

“The Dao of Darkness!” Mo Yu exclaimed, rising to his feet, his divine sense extending outward to clearly perceive the external world.

“Such a formidable power!

This must be an enemy from the Dao Palace realm!” “The demonic beasts…

they’re coming!” Jiang Chen observed the scene as well, his eyes glinting coldly.

In the next moment, from an unknown direction, the deafening roar of a demonic beast shook the air.

Roar!!

Immediately after, pillars of light erupted from the ground, shooting straight into the heavens.

Most of the beams were an ominous blend of crimson and black, exuding a menacing aura at first glance.

As these columns of Demonic Spiritual Qi burst forth, powerful demonic beasts emerged from the earth, surging toward the Purple Heaven Holy Land like an unstoppable tidal wave.

“All disciples, launch your attack!!” an Elder from the Deacon Hall of the Holy Land bellowed, rallying the forces.

Whirl, whirl!

One by one, the disciples unleashed their assaults.

Thunder, flames, fierce winds, and torrents of water-varied attacks formed a dazzling yet deadly magical canopy, crashing into the oncoming demonic beasts.

Crash!!

It was like the collision of two towering waves in an immense ocean.

Blinding clusters of radiant spells detonated in a brilliant explosion.

One by one, the demonic beasts were either obliterated on the spot or hurled into the sky, viciously torn apart mid-air!

For a brief moment, heaven and earth were bathed in a gruesome rain of blood and gore.

Yet, the demonic beasts, stretching as far as the eye could see, had lost all sense of reason.

Devoid of fear, they cared nothing for life or death, relentlessly charging forward.

They willingly sacrificed themselves, their sole purpose to exhaust the energy of the Purple Heaven Holy Land’s disciples.

However, not all the beasts were eliminated in that initial wave.

Those that fell were merely the weaker beasts, below the Heavenly Origin realm-numerous but insignificant.

The true threat, the demonic beasts that had reached the Heavenly Origin realm, withstood the first barrage of spells and continued their advance toward the Holy Land’s defensive formation.

But the members of the Purple Heaven Holy Land had been prepared for this.

After enduring two previous demonic beast tides, they had already sharpened their skills in the art of defensive warfare.

The second wave of spells was unleashed without hesitation.

This time, the attackers were all cultivators above the Heavenly Origin realm!

One by one, these powerful cultivators launched their attacks, weaving an even more formidable canopy of spells that cascaded down onto the demonic beasts.

Boom!

Countless demonic beasts roared in agony, their bodies torn apart, scattering into countless fragments of flesh and blood.

Yet, some managed to break through the overwhelming spell canopy, slamming into the sect’s Grand Protective Formation with terrifying force.

Crash!

Shockwaves rippled from the formation barrier, shaking the earth beneath, sending tremors through the land!

Some junior disciples stationed at the core of the formation coughed up blood, barely able to stand as they wavered on the brink of collapse.

“Swap the formation maintainers!” an Elder in charge, who was fiercely launching attacks, shouted.

Without delay, a group of substitute disciples replaced the pale and injured ones, ensuring the formation remained at peak condition.

Just then, amidst the terrifying roars of the demonic beasts, a Dao Comprehension realm demonic beast, riddled with spells and covered in wounds, charged directly at the formation.

“Destroy it!!” Elder Liu Xiong’s eyes burned with lethal intent.

A torrent of Fire Dao power erupted from the formation, transforming into a massive fire dragon that blotted out the sky as it surged toward the Dao Comprehension realm demonic beast.

In a flash, the fire dragon soared, and a chaotic rain of heavenly fire descended!

But the Dao Comprehension realm demonic beast wasn’t defenseless-it unleashed its own innate power, also aligned with the Dao of Fire!

A violent explosion of extreme heat followed, instantly turning the surrounding battlefield into a sea of molten magma.

Numerous demonic beasts were vaporized on the spot, unable to even scream before being reduced to ash.

Roar!

Liu Xiong’s fire dragon let out a feral cry as it coiled around the Dao Comprehension realm demonic beast, drawing it away to a distant battlefield.

Wherever the two titanic forces passed, everything was reduced to ashes!

From every direction, more Dao Comprehension realm demonic beasts appeared, charging relentlessly toward the Purple Heaven Holy Land.

In response, the Dao Comprehension realm Elders of the Purple Heaven Holy Land, including Xie Zhen, leapt into action, unleashing fierce attacks on their chosen foes.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen hovered high above the Holy Land, a figure visible to all below.

By now, he had become a pillar of strength for the Purple Heaven Holy Land.

His very presence lifted the spirits of everyone around him.

“Still not showing yourself, huh?” Jiang Chen muttered, his gaze sweeping over the land below as his divine sense frantically scanned every inch of the terrain.

He was searching for any trace of the Dao Palace realm demonic beast’s aura, but so far, he had found nothing.

Without the beast showing itself, Jiang Chen couldn’t leave the safety of the grand formation to absorb the qi and blood energy around him.

Mo Yu had to confront and restrain the creature first, or else Jiang Chen wouldn’t stand a chance against even a casual strike from a Dao Palace realm demonic beast.

…

While the demonic invasion ravaged the surface, deep below in the suffocating darkness of the underground, a sinister voice hissed, “So, the Purple Heaven Holy Land was better prepared than we thought!” Another voice, filled with suspicion, asked, “Could they have a Third Step cultivator force backing them?” “Impossible,” scoffed a third voice.

“This continent has been abandoned for ages.

No Third Step force would waste their time here.” “The initial investigation confirmed it-this place has been isolated from the outside world for hundreds of thousands of years.” “Then they must have uncovered part of the truth from ancient records,” the first voice mused, now filled with a twisted ambition.

A low, menacing laugh followed.

“No matter.

Soon, this continent will be mine-Long Tianlu’s personal playground.
