Chapter 726 - 720: Ten Thousand Crows Formation - Slaying the Demon God
Regarding the invitation to join forces extended by the six-winged Fallen Angel, Qin Feng did not refuse.
He quickly calmed his emotions and accepted the fact that he now resided within the Abyss, giving it some thought before nodding and agreeing, “So it turns out to be a Fallen Angel from Lord Lucifer’s command. I’ve long heard of Lord Lucifer’s renown, and I very much admire his leadership in leading the revolt from the Light God Realm and dominating a part of the Demon Realm.
Since you are under Lord Lucifer’s command, you must be a being of great responsibility. Naturally, I am willing to join forces with you to deal with these Demon Spiders!”
“Ha ha ha… So you have also heard of my Army Commander’s fame!”
Fallen Angel Lacus was obviously very satisfied with Qin Feng’s admiring tone towards Lucifer, feeling content and laughed heartily, “Good, let us join forces and first deal with these Demon Spiders!
These damned creatures, we merely strayed into the Abyss, and these Demon Spiders dare not show the slightest bit of respect, attacking and injuring my comrades, as if we Fallen Angels are easy to provoke?
Even if Lord Lucifer cannot conveniently enter the Abyss, if I report this up, it would only take calling in a few Great Archangels to slay Spider Queen Rose!
Hmph, they really regard us as food, their audacity knows no bounds. They better not let me leave alive, or they will suffer in the future!”
While speaking, the six wings on his back spread wide, his entire body shrouded in a dense dark aura, the pitch-black War Sword in his hand cleaved through the air, sending out slashes of Sword Qi. Although he was not a match for that mid-rank Demon God Realm spider, he managed to hold his ground for a time.
However, the Demon Spider side was not comprised exclusively of that large spider; there were also several others that had condensed their Divine Status.
These ferocious creatures swarmed forward, quickly overwhelming the six-winged Fallen Angel.
His angels, already heavily wounded, now found themselves under siege once again, their situation perilously unstable, like a boat in a violent storm, at risk of being annihilated at any moment!
But these Fallen Angels, all with their extensive battle experience, quickly formed an array, fighting while retreating, attempting to join forces with Qin Feng and his group to break through the encirclement!
Although Zhao Qiankun and the other two didn’t appear particularly strong, as they had not achieved Immortal Godhood, the aura emanating from Qin Feng nonetheless captivated the six-winged Fallen Angel.
He felt that Qin Feng’s strength was extraordinary, probably not much less than his own!
If the two of them were to join forces, they just might be able to defeat the mid-rank Demon God on the other side, without any other interference.
Even if the other Demon Spiders continued their relentless attack, together they should have a chance to escape with their lives!
As the Fallen Angel engaged in combat with the Demon Spiders, Qin Feng and his party also began their battle.
Three Spider Demon Gods, waving their sharp claws and emitting shrill screeches, led their subordinate Demon Spiders in a charge.
Convinced of their own formidable strength, they believed that with the combined power of their three Demon Gods, plus their numerous subordinates, they had more than enough strength to slay Qin Feng, and thus they launched their attack straight away.
Otherwise, if they truly waited for Qin Feng to join with the Fallen Angel, the spider Demon Gods opposite them would claim the majority of the spoils, leaving them with little benefit!
“Heh!”
Upon seeing this, Qin Feng let out a cold chuckle, “You think you have overwhelming numbers, as if I have no aid under my command?”
He swept his sleeves upward, and all of a sudden, a troop of Spiritual Beasts materialized.
Besides the Swallowing Sky Toad, Divine Turtle, and Three-legged Death Crows that had already achieved Demon Immortal status, there were also many combat-ready Spiritual Beasts from various layers of space, especially the fourth layer of the Demon Refining Pot, where the number of exotic Crows under the command of the Three-legged Death Crow amounted to millions and their momentum was the most formidable!
In fact, when it came to the battle power of the various layers of the Demon Refining Pot aside from the Main Spirit Beasts, the Mermaids from the second layer of space currently possessed the strongest forces.
After all, they were originally an organized army of the Sea Clan. After being subdued by Qin Feng, he even specifically found a few war formations suitable for the Water Clan and had the Divine Turtle instruct the Mermaids in drill practice, so their combat power had not only not weakened, but had in fact grown even stronger than before.
However, Mermaids were better suited for water warfare, which was why Qin Feng had not summoned the rest aside from several Demigod Realm Mermaids.
Those Mermaids that had advanced to the Demigod Realm could still possess formidable combat power even away from seawater, though without the advantage of terrain, they were not as overpowering as they would have been in the ocean.
Beyond these, any Spiritual Beasts with extraordinary strength from the other layers were all summoned by Qin Feng.
There were several Spiritual Toads in the first layer of space, gifts from the Cultivators of White Bone City; their Cultivation was naturally not weak.
The third layer of the Demon Refining Pot was empty except for the White Dragon, which also disliked other beings entering its Golden Palace, fearing they would steal its treasures.
The White Dragon felt that owning an entire layer of space to itself like this was perfect. Usually, only Qin Feng, its master, would occasionally deceive it for a few treasures. Other than that, it had no worries about losing any treasures and thought this was absolutely the best Dragon Nest in the world!
However, under the Undying Qingluan’s command on the fourth layer were quite a few Spiritual Birds, many of which had substantial influence. There were even a few Dharma Image and Primordial Spirit Realm Spiritual Birds; apart from those Qin Feng himself had caught, the rest of the more powerful ones were all gifts from the White Bone City Lord.
The various exotic species of Crows from the fifth layer had already come forth, and beyond the Hellhounds in the sixth layer lay the countless Resentful Spirits hidden within the Netherworld.
Though their numbers were numerous, the Resentful Spirits weren’t able to leave the Netherworld and could only move with it!
The Life Spring of the seventh layer had only rooted a single Tree Demon—the Life Tree—which was even more evident at a glance than the second layer where the White Dragon resided!
The eighth layer under the command of the Ghost-Faced Spider had quite a few spiders too, but Qin Feng merely let loose the Ghost-Faced Spider itself. He didn’t release the rest, fearing his Spiritual Beasts might go on a frenzied rampage in combat and mistakenly slay the Ghost-Faced Spider’s subordinates, thinking they were Abyss Demon Spiders.
After all, in the eyes of the other Spiritual Beasts, once these spiders were mixed together, it was very difficult to discern friend from foe, and friendly fire incidents could easily happen!
The Spring and Autumn Cicada from the ninth layer also brought along a few Spiritual Cicadas flickering with the Spirit Light of various spells, sneaking attacks amidst the ranks of the Spiritual Beasts.
They were tiny in size, extremely fast, and their magic Divine Powers were sharp and efficient, indeed causing significant trouble for the Demon Spiders.
But when it came to the most impressive display of power on the field, it still belonged to the millions of exotic Crows commanded by the Three-legged Death Crow.
The most numerous among these Crows were the Cold Crows, followed by a variety of Fire Crows, Ravens, Undead Spirit Crows, Golden-Eyed Crows, Iron Claw Crows, and many more of different types.
At this moment, with the hoarse cry of the Three-legged Death Crow, the Crow Army of millions blocked off half the sky, deploying the Ten Thousand Crows Formation. Under the control of the Three-legged Death Crow, it actually exerted tremendous power, containing the onslaught of countless Demon Spiders.
Although in terms of numbers, a million crows still could not match the endless Demon Spiders, the vast majority of these demonic arachnids could not fly, and being naturally ferocious and violent, they seemed to lack intelligence despite the Spider Demon God’s manipulation with their swarm tactics, recklessly charging forward with no regard for their lives.
Or perhaps their environment from a young age had turned them into monsters that only knew slaughter, with very little thought involved!
As a result, even though they fought bravely, this disorganized method of attack was clearly not as effective as a War Formation. What’s more, only a small portion actually engaged in battle, which gave the Crow Army the upper hand in the initial stages of combat.
Of course, this was only temporary. The vast majority of the million crows were in the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment Realms, and such high-intensity fighting would inevitably lead to enormous exhaustion, making it impossible to sustain, and prolonged battle would certainly result in heavy losses!
However, Qin Feng did not need them to fight a protracted battle; all he needed was for his spirit beasts to delay the massive Spider Army and give him a bit of time to slay the three Spider Demon Gods.
At this moment, apart from the Three-legged Undead Spirit Crow, which was still commanding its minions in forming arrays and killing the enemy, the rest of the spirit beasts charged towards the three Spider Demon Gods.
The Hellhound, in particular, had bloodshot eyes and was exuding a vicious and brutal aura. With a roar, it bit down on one of the giant spiders.
There was a crack as it brushed aside a thrusting spider leg with its robust frame; then, the leftmost head, exposing its sharp, gruesome fangs, bit the leg cleanly off.
It wasn’t that the Spider Demon Gods’ bodies were not durable; they had formed Divine Status, making their exoskeleton as hard as common Divine Weapons. Even Divine beings of the same rank wielding weapons would not be able to chop off their legs easily!
But the Hellhound, as a canine, was best at gnawing bones.
In its early years, it fed on various undead in the Death Kingdom, devouring countless undead, zombies, and skulls. It especially relished gnawing on hard bones rich in energy, which made it particularly effective against these Spider Demon Gods with its formidable set of teeth!
Elsewhere, the Divine Turtle flickered and instantly grew to the size of hundreds of zhang, akin to a small mountain. As it lumbered forward on its four feet, it slammed into one of the Spider Demon Gods, which despite its size, was but a speck compared to it. The impact sent the spider flying thousands of zhang.
The Undying Qingluan emitted a clear cry and exhaled a beam of intense flames onto the Spider Demon God blasted away by the Divine Turtle. The giant spider shrieked as its thick, dark fur was scorched away, leaving just a few strands hanging visibly, blowing about in the wind.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of powerful explosions sounded as several fruits were lobbed from the branches of the Life Tree, not only blasting the last Spider Demon God away but embedding potent seeds with such force that they nearly turned the divine being into a sieve.
It was primarily due to the Spider Demon Gods’ tough exoskeletons that most seeds did not completely penetrate but instead became embedded in their shells, causing excruciating pain to the spiders.
The Swallowing Sky Toad glanced left and right and, with a croak, swiftly made a choice.
With a push of its hind legs, it instantly appeared near the Spider Demon God that had been hit by the Divine Turtle and then burned by the Undying Qingluan. As its snowy white belly swelled, it abruptly opened its mouth and let out a loud cry!
This thunderous bellow resonated in all directions, causing the hearts of countless Demon Spiders to tremble.
However, the Spider Demon God targeted by the Swallowing Sky Toad felt a chill in its heart, a dread creeping up.
It shifted its several blood-red eyes toward the Swallowing Sky Toad, then saw countless tiny Space Blades form beneath the sound waves, enveloping its body in an instant.
Even though the Spider Demon God quickly deployed a powerful Magic Shield, it was still unable to fend off the numerous Space Blades. The once-thick shield shattered layer by layer under the onslaught, and finally, they landed on the spider’s body, stripping away a layer of its hard shell, revealing the soft viscera inside and causing pale green blood to flow.
“Chiu…”
The Undying Qingluan’s wings flapped once, and a meteor shower of fire engulfed the Spider Demon God, almost entirely scorching the huge spider that had lost its protective shell.
Even so, it did not die. It let out a pitiful and strange cry, still trying to struggle and flee.
But at this moment, there was no chance for it to escape!
The Swallowing Sky Toad stood upright, its front paws crossing left and right and suddenly sweeping outwards, sending several huge Space Blades flying from its claws. It sliced the Spider Demon God into several segments, then opened its mouth wide and swallowed the broken remains of the Spider Demon God!
It was the Swallowing Sky Toad that devours everything. Even a great mountain could be digested into nothingness by its stomach, let alone a Spider Demon God!
Moreover, the energy from a God-level Demon Spider was even stronger, which was even more beneficial for it.
Now, having advanced to a Demon Immortal, the Swallowing Sky Toad could no longer rely solely on Qin Feng, its master, for feeding and advancement. Whenever possible, it was better to hunt for its own food, reducing the burden on the Demon Refining Pot, because even with several Top Level Spirit Veins inside the pot, the Toad’s enormous appetite could not be easily sustained!
The joint effort of these three Spiritual Beasts to kill a Spider Demon God instantly stunned everyone present.
However, Zhao Qiankun and Liu Xuanling were the most shocked.
After all, the Fallen Angels and the other Spider Demon Gods were not familiar with Qin Feng and did not know the details of his abilities.
But Liu Xuanling and the others had watched as he joined their sect and seen him progress step by step from low-level cultivation.
To think that their little junior brother, who had just achieved Purple Mansion a few years ago, had not only cultivated into an Immortal but now even had so many Demon Immortal Realm Spiritual Beasts under his command, their hearts could hardly bear it!
Even Hao Shicheng, who had long since stopped comparing himself with Qin Feng, couldn’t help but clutch at his chest at this moment.
He was worried that if his heart spasms were too severe, he might faint!
Isn’t this too much of a blow?
Hao Shicheng shook his head, looking enviously at the Spiritual Beasts, and with a light sigh, he gave up once again.
Liu Xuanling remained in a daze for a moment, then could not help biting her silver teeth in frustration.
The little junior brother she once bullied had now grown to such an extent, leaving her emotions complicated!
However, she had always been proud and even though Qin Feng displayed such formidable strength, she refused to concede defeat. She quickly encouraged herself that she must strive harder from now on. Even if she couldn’t keep up with Qin Feng’s pace of cultivation, she couldn’t fall too far behind; otherwise, when would she be able to rebuild her prestige as an elder sister?
Meanwhile, the six-winged Fallen Angel’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but laugh out loud several times, never expecting to be so lucky as to encounter such a powerful ally this time!
