Chapter 766: Reinforcements Arrive

Boom! Bang! Rumbling!

The pitch-black night was far from peaceful, with chaos unfolding across the heavens and earth.

In the virtual sky, Ouyang Wang and Dan Mo were locked in an intense battle, their purple ocean and demonic aura shrouding the sky and covering the ground in a massive display of power.

Below, the commotion was just as fierce. Ye Chen, that shameless scoundrel, was fully embracing his role as a troublemaker, charging in and out, leaving the Kong Ming Jing experts in charge of the barrier in utter disarray.

As for the Jiu Jiu Feng Tian barrier, it had already been torn open due to relentless attacks from Dan Chen and the others, allowing Dan Chen and Dan Yi to successfully break free.

"Open for me!"

The two joined forces and summoned an ultimate killing sword, slashing from outside to cleave the barrier and rescue the remaining elders of Dan Cheng.

"You son of a bitch." It was that hot-tempered elder from Dan Cheng. As soon as he emerged, he drew a golden blade and charged straight at the Kong Ming Jing experts.

"Kill!"

The experts from the demon domain roared in fury, with over a hundred Kong Ming Jing peak masters surging forward in a wave, their auras soaring to the heavens and their pressures merging into a deafening rumble that made the virtual sky tremble.

"Damn it, let's go all out." Ye Chen burned his essence, boosting his combat power to surge like a primordial beast. He summoned the several quasi-Tian Jing Yin Ming dead generals he had personally refined.

"Kill."

Dan Chen and his group weren't idle either, each drawing their weapons and charging at the enemy.

Boom! Bang!

The battle erupted instantly, shaking the heavens and earth.

However, it was clear that Ye Chen and his allies were at a disadvantage.

After all, the enemy consisted of over a hundred Kong Ming Jing peak masters, each just a step away from advancing to quasi-Tian Jing. Many of them already possessed the ability to challenge higher realms, and their overwhelming numbers left Ye Chen's group in a sorry state.

"The time's about right—why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" Ye Chen dodged and attacked simultaneously, not daring to let his guard down for a moment, as a single misstep could get him hit by a combined assault.

On the other side, Dan Chen and his companions were also being suppressed. Though they were alchemists, they weren't skilled in combat, and the enemy's numerical superiority left them struggling, their bodies covered in fresh blood.

"Xuan Nu, you haven't gotten lost, have you?" Ye Chen cursed under his breath. Just a second ago, he had watched several of his Yin Ming dead generals get shattered one after another, making his heart ache terribly.

"Suppress!"

Soon, nine demon domain experts surrounded Ye Chen in a section of the virtual sky, jointly summoning a blood-red ancient seal that bore down on him from above.

"Don't try to scare me." Ye Chen snorted coldly, summoning the Chaos Divine Cauldron, which instantly shattered the blood-red ancient seal. The Jiu Zhou Xuan Tian Diagram swept out, forcing the nine demon domain experts to retreat.

After shaking off the demon domain experts, Ye Chen glanced toward the Dan Cheng direction, knowing that continuing like this would lead to heavy losses for his injured group.

However, with the Dan Cheng reinforcements arriving, the situation would change dramatically. At that point, whether it was Dan Mo or the demon domain experts, none of them would escape under the absolute numerical suppression.

Sure enough, as he looked, he saw rolling clouds in the distant horizon, accompanied by rumbling sounds from the virtual sky—it was like a massive army on the march, each soldier exuding formidable momentum and murderous intent.

"The reinforcements are here." Dan Chen and his group breathed a sigh of relief, launching even fiercer attacks.

In contrast, the demon domain experts' faces turned grim, as the incoming Dan Cheng army was extraordinarily large, with even the weakest members at the Kong Ming Jing level. This far exceeded what they could handle.

Dan Mo, who was battling Ouyang Wang in the virtual sky, noticed this too, his expression twisting into something hideous.

Though he bore the outer form of the Demon King, granting him immense power, he couldn't withstand being outnumbered like this. If surrounded, escaping would be no simple feat.

"Bullying Dan Cheng? Kill them all for me!" From below, a resounding shout echoed as a white-haired youth gripping a golden killing sword led the charge, unleashing a world-shaking sword beam that nearly cleaved a demon domain expert in two on the spot.

"Kill!"

Soon, thunderous war cries rang out as the Dan Cheng army swept in, spreading out to encircle the demon domain experts and wipe them out completely.

"Retreat!"

A demon domain expert bellowed immediately. The battle's outcome was clear—they were now at a disadvantage. Continuing would mean total annihilation.

At once, the demon domain experts pulled back, not lingering in the fight, and leaped out of the encirclement before the Dan Cheng army could close in.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Ye Chen, that troublemaker, charged out again. He wasn't about to let them off easily after being suppressed so badly before.

Whoosh!

With a single step, he crossed over a hundred zhang, summoning both the Chaos Divine Cauldron and the Jiu Zhou Xuan Tian Diagram. They erupted with tremendous divine might, sealing off a section of the sky. The immense pressure made all the demon domain experts stagger.

In that brief moment, the Dan Cheng army gained precious time.

"Surround them!" Dan Chen roared, pointing his killing sword directly at the demon domain experts.

Even without his command, the Dan Cheng army had already formed their encirclement, trapping the over a hundred demon domain experts in the center. Then, killing formations, diagrams, and secret techniques rained down from all sides.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

A wave of attacks swept through, turning many demon domain experts into bloody mist on the spot, while the stronger ones suffered severe damage.

The ensuing battle grew even more brutal. With the Dan Cheng army's vast forces and the demon domain experts trapped in the middle, the latter had no chance to turn the tide, their numbers dwindling rapidly.

"Damn it!"

In the virtual sky above, Dan Mo's face contorted grotesquely as he tried to withdraw, but Ouyang Wang blocked him firmly in that section of the sky.

The battle's outcome was inevitable. In less than five minutes, all the demon domain experts were wiped out, with not a single one surviving, though the Dan Cheng army also paid a heavy price.

Whew!

Seeing the demon domain experts completely eliminated, Ye Chen finally exhaled in relief.

"Are you alright?" Xuan Nu approached, her eyes filled with worry as she saw him covered in blood.

"I won't die." Ye Chen waved it off casually, using his sacred body essence to dispel the lingering killing intent in his body. At the same time, he glanced up at the virtual sky, where the fierce battle continued.

"Activate the Void Killing Formation and target that black-clothed man." On the other side, Dan Yi was rallying the experts as a massive Void Great Array awakened, its powerful divine might gathering with Dan Mo as the target.

"Ye Chen, who is that senior?" Dan Chen staggered over, glancing at Ouyang Wang in the virtual sky before turning his gaze to Ye Chen.

"I don't know." Ye Chen shrugged. "I brought him out from a spatial black hole."

"A figure from the same era as the Dan Wang ancestor, surely a legendary powerhouse who shook Da Chu." Dan Chen took a deep breath.

Boom! Boom!

As they spoke, the Dan Cheng Void Great Array bombarded the virtual sky. Its power was so immense that even Dan Mo didn't dare take it head-on, resorting to burning his essence to summon the Demon Sha Heavenly Gate, barely blocking the strike.

"Again!"

Dan Yi thundered, with the experts channeling their essence into the Void Killing Formation, reactivating its might.

Meanwhile, the Dan Cheng army wasn't idle, already setting up barrier formations to seal off the entire area, layer upon layer, determined to eliminate Dan Mo right there.

"Do you really intend to fight to the death?" Seeing himself surrounded, Dan Mo roared at Ouyang Wang.

Ouyang Wang said nothing, striking out with a palmful of star rivers that sent Dan Mo vomiting blood and retreating, even dimming the outer form of the Demon King he bore.

Buzz! Buzz!

No sooner had Dan Mo steadied himself than a barrage of attacks descended.

"Get lost!"

Dan Mo bellowed in rage, sweeping a palm across the virtual sky and obliterating the incoming attacks. But with so many opponents, he still took damage, and his massive Demon King outer form nearly shattered.

"Kill!"

The Dan Cheng experts pressed on, launching another round of assaults.

Dan Mo's expression changed drastically. He didn't dare take them head-on or stay any longer. Even for him, facing such a massive army and relentless attacks, one mistake could reduce him to ashes.

He immediately summoned a demonic umbrella to shield himself, enduring the blows as he carved a bloody path out of the encirclement. His Demon King outer form exploded under the waves of attacks, and even he suffered horrific backlash, his arm turning to blood mist on the spot.

"Leave it behind!"

Ye Chen ascended in a single step, closing in to within a hundred zhang of Dan Mo, his left eye's Xian Lun Eye already activated and locked on Dan Mo's head.

"Heavenly Illumination!"

With a light command in his mind, the Xian Lun mark rotated, and a trickle of fresh blood overflowed from his eye corner.

Instantly, the space around Dan Mo's head distorted, igniting in black flames. Once the flames appeared, they began dissolving his head at an alarming speed.

"What... what is this?" Dan Mo's eyes were filled with terror, unaware that Ye Chen possessed such a bizarre technique. He could clearly feel his head dissipating, yet strangely, he felt no pain.

"The Six Paths Xian Lun Eye." In the virtual sky, Ouyang Wang murmured as he watched Ye Chen.

"Is this the legendary secret technique of Ye Chen?" The people of Dan Cheng stared in awe at the black flames still burning on Dan Mo's head, all agreeing that the flames were extraordinarily strange, just as the rumors had said.

"Ah...!"

Under everyone's gaze, Dan Mo clutched his head and roared. Despite trying various secret techniques, he couldn't counter the black flames and could only watch helplessly as his head dissolved.

"Wind God Art!"

Ye Chen struck again, his Wind God Sword thrusting directly toward Dan Mo's head. Such a great enemy couldn't be allowed to escape.

However, just as his killing sword was about to touch Dan Mo's head, a strange blood-red vortex appeared, radiating terrifying suction.

Ye Chen quickly retreated. When he looked again, Dan Mo had been pulled into the blood-red vortex and vanished without a trace.

"What kind of secret art is this?" Ye Chen furrowed his brow. He could sense it most clearly—if he hadn't retreated in time, he might have been sucked in himself. Who knew what realm that vortex connected to?

"Yan Huang Holy Lord, your head—I will come for it personally one day." As Ye Chen frowned, a faint, icy, and authoritative voice echoed through the heavens and earth.
