Chapter 2328: Heavenly Demon Tribulation
Upon gazing up at the night sky, all that one could see was a dense collection of eyes.
What kind of feeling was this?
Those who had trypophobia would definitely be frightened to death!
Moreover, these countless eyes were all peering down at the beings beneath them. When one gazed up, it was as if all of these countless eyes were staring down at them. This was a harrowing experience.
This was especially the case since these eyes didn’t only materialize above the Purple Star ruins. In fact, these eyes had appeared above the entire Kingdom of the Nine States!
Everyone saw the terrifying eyes in the sky, regardless of whether they were cultivators or mortals.
Many were petrified by what they saw, and some of them fled into their houses while others immediately looked down at the ground. In fact, even cultivators with profound cultivation bases would feel an indescribable sense of dizziness upon accidentally gazing at the eyes in the sky.
“What in the world is this…?” True Lord Erlang murmured as he gazed at the sky with his three eyes. He could feel a piercing pain in his eyes. In fact, his third eye wanted to close, as it was barely able to endure this pain.
The Celestial Thearch’s expression changed drastically, and he said, “Something’s wrong… These eyes are covering far too much land, and they’ve even enveloped the vast Kingdom of the Nine States. They’re definitely targeting more than just the tribulations in the Heaven Crushing Glazed Palace…”
Chang’e glanced at the sky with her beautiful eyes, and she said in an aloof and ethereal voice, “That’s indeed the case. I can feel a profound sense of animosity from the heavens. This animosity is targeted at all of us humans, as well as the Heaven Crushing United Army…”
The Celestial Thearch’s voice transmission talisman suddenly lit up at this moment.
He observed the aura, and he discovered that this was a call from the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Bai Ling. Thus, he immediately answered the call, asking, “Pavilion Lord Bai, what’s the current situation?”
“Bad news! A tribulation is descending upon the Nine States!
“We need urgent reinforcements from the Heavenly Court to protect the Gem State, the Stone Dragon State, the Heavenly River State, and the Thunder State! The Four Nine Immortal Sect will take care of the remaining five states!”
Bai Ling’s frantic voice caused the Celestial Thearch’s expression to change slightly.
At this moment, he had no time to sigh with emotion over the fact that the Heavenly Court only had the ability to protect four states, while the Four Nine Immortal Sect had the ability to protect five. Instead, he asked, “Who’s the enemy?”
Bai Ling remained silent for several seconds before replying, “The enemy… is from the sky!”
The countless eyes in the sky started to pulsate with a glow of lunacy and resentment. Darkness was surging, and terror was descending.
Everyone in the Kingdom of the Nine States could feel the creeping arrival of death. Some of them fled in disarray, while others wailed in grief, falling to their knees and begging for forgiveness from the heavens.
The Celestial Thearch didn’t hesitate, and he immediately started to dispatch powerful beings to each of the four states!
Emperor Ziwei, Emperor Tian Huang, and Battle God Erlang led ten million soldiers from the Nine States United Army to defend the Stone Dragon State. Emperor Qing Hua and Ao Xiaowu led an army of ten million to defend the Gem State. Chang’e and Emperor Chang Sheng led an army to defend the Heavenly River State. Meanwhile, the Celestial Thearch himself led an army of twenty million to defend the Thunder State.
As for the supreme beings of the Four Great Sects, they had all returned to their respective sects to prepare for battle. Using the supreme spell formations of their sects, they could better defend their sects and thus their states.
In the Purple Star ruins.
Chen Chen wore an anxious expression as he gazed at the Kingdom of the Nine States.
Just then, Bai Ling had already contacted him and told him to focus on crushing the heavens. The Nine States United Army would take care of protecting the nine states.
Her voice had been as calm and certain as always.
For some reason, Chen Chen had felt a sense of indescribable security when talking to Bai Ling. He always had a nagging feeling that Bai Ling had made an extraordinary amount of preparations. Moreover, it was because of this that she was able to provide such powerful and reliable help during such a critical moment of crushing the heavens.
The countless eyes started to surge around in the sky.
At the same time, countless figures of darkness started to unleash auras of fury and destruction. Sharp claws materialized in the sky, and the dark figures started to grow larger and larger. Their bloodthirsty eyes were locked onto the members of the Heaven Crushing Sect inside the Heaven Crushing Glazed Palace, and some of them were laughing while others were howling.
“If the heavens have desires, then the heavens shall become a demon. Is this tribulation the Heavenly Demon Tribulation?” Cyril asked with a solemn expression as he gazed at the monstrosities in the sky.
“Great calamity is about to befall the Nine States… Who would’ve thought that the subconscious will of the Heavenly Dao would choose to target the beings of the world at such a time? Isn’t it afraid of imploding?” Chen Chen muttered as he gazed at the sky. There was a look of puzzlement on his face.
In terms of the fundamental instinct of the subconscious will of the Heavenly Dao, it shouldn’t have decided to target helpless mortal humans. It wouldn’t do so in order to maintain the autonomy and fairness of the Heavenly Dao. Only the Heavenly Gods who possessed their own awareness could target helpless mortal humans.
Now, however, the Heavenly Dao had seemingly changed.
It was seemingly starting to become wild…
A thick and inky-like liquid dripped down. Countless eyes existed on the surface of this pitch-black ink, and the pupils of these eyes started to slowly expand. The ink then started to separate into countless individual orbs of dark beings.
“Hiss…”
A hellish hiss started to draw closer and closer.
Immediately afterward, orbs of ink-like matter started to transform into countless pitch-black and contorted monsters that rained down from the sky.
These monsters possessed razor-sharp claws, and their bodies were also enveloped in auras of extreme terror and corrosiveness. Tens of thousands of these monstrosities lunged toward the Heaven Crushing Glazed Palace without any regard for their own safety!
“Roar!” The Heavenly Demons roared, and cracking sounds reverberated through the air as they slammed into the defensive spell formation of the Heaven Crushing Glazed Palace. Immediately afterward, there was the screeching sound of their razor-sharp claws ripping into the spell formation…
Many of the Heavenly Demons also lunged toward Cyril and Chen Chen, both of whom were standing outside the spell formation.
However, they were smashed into smithereens by Chen Chen’s Spotless Realm and Cyril’s True Demon Essential Power. There was no exception.
Like an invincible Godfiend, Cyril was unmoving as he stood among the encirclement of the tens of thousands of Heavenly Demons. However, his expression was solemn, and he said, “Dealing with these Heavenly Demons isn’t a difficult task. However, if we’re too slow in defeating this tribulation, then I’m afraid that the billions upon billions of humans…”
Meanwhile, in the vast Kingdom of the Nine States.
Drops of black ink started to fall from the sky, transforming into the most terrifying Heavenly Demons as they did so…
“Hurry, run! Monsters are raining down from the sky!”
“Waah… Save us! Who’s going to save us?!”
Countless mortal humans were fleeing in panic and disarray.
Thousand Sword City, Spirit Sword State.
Orbs or dark ink started to plummet down.
Boom!
A Heavenly Demon that had eight arms and was one hundred feet tall landed in the center of the city, with the violent impact of the collision instantly reducing the dozens of surrounding houses into rubble.
“Humans… die…!”
The Heavenly Demon roared in fury as it rapidly charged into the crowds of fleeing humans. Like poisonous snakes, its eight arms viciously grabbed at the despairing humans. Whenever it caught one, it would use its hands to engulf them until nothing was left, not even bones.
The residents of the Thousand Sword City were filled with terror as they continued to flee.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Demon was like a tiger among a herd of sheep as it continued to wantonly slaughter the humans.
The mortal humans hadn’t imagined that a Heavenly Demon would suddenly fall from the sky and start to slaughter them. The Thousand Sword City instantly turned into a sea of despair and bloodshed.
“Mom, get up! Hurry up and get up… Ah!” A young girl was tugging at her mother who had been knocked over by the fleeing clouds, yet unfortunately for her, she was also knocked over by the fleeing crowds.
At this moment, the eight-armed Heavenly Demon had already dashed before her. There was a twisted smile on its human-like face, and one of its arms suddenly grabbed at her and her mother. There was absolutely no hesitation in the Heavenly Demon’s actions!
The young girl shrieked in terror and immediately screwed her eyes shut.
However, the expected pain didn’t arrive.
Instead, the young girl felt a cool sensation washing over her.
Is this the feeling of death?
She opened her eyes, only to see a young man gazing at her with a slight smile. His voice was soft and gentle, and he asked, “Can you stand up by yourself?”
The young girl nodded in a daze as she stared at the fine and delicate young man.
She then glanced behind the young man, and she discovered that the immensely terrifying eight-armed Heavenly Demon had already been sliced into two down the middle. Moreover, it was currently being burned by raging blue flames.
The young man retrieved his voice transmission talisman and said, “The Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Sun Yuluo has already arrived at his station.”
By the time he finished speaking, the young girl was already unable to find his figure anymore.
However, a blue radiance continued to flash in many other parts of the city. With each flash, a Heavenly Demon would fall to the ground. Like a flashing star, this young man was a star who protected this city.
