Chapter 164 The Origin of the Heavenly Demon
"The Heavenly Demons are launching a full-scale attack."
Yan Chixia's voice came from behind.
Zhou Ning nodded: "Master, this disciple is ready."
Yan Chixia walked to his side, took out a jade talisman from his sleeve, and handed it to Zhou Ning.
"This is the control core of the great formation. After you pledge your blood to the formation, you will be able to merge your primordial spirit with it."
"Remember, no matter what happens, never give up. Your Dao heart is your last line of defense."
Zhou Ning took the jade talisman, bit his fingertip, and dripped a drop of blood onto the talisman.
Blood mingled with the jade talisman, and a golden light shot out from the talisman, connecting with his brow.
He could feel that the entire Qingfeng City was within his perception; every rune on the city wall and every spirit stone in the city center was connected to his mind.
"Let's begin," Yan Chixia said.
Zhou Ning closed his eyes and poured his primordial spirit power into the jade talisman.
The jade talisman emitted a dazzling purple-gold light, resonating with the nine spirit stones in the city center.
The ground of Qingfeng City trembled violently, and the runes on the city walls lit up with a dazzling golden light, enveloping the entire city in a golden light shield.
The Zhou Tian Star Array is fully activated.
The golden light grew stronger and brighter, dispelling all the surrounding darkness.
The dark figures in the mist, illuminated by the golden light, emitted sharp screechs and vanished into black smoke.
Just then, a deafening roar came from the north.
The sound was like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, causing the city walls to tremble.
A huge black shadow slowly emerged from the crack.
The dark figure was about twenty feet tall, completely black, with no facial features, only a pair of blood-red eyes that gleamed eerily in the darkness.
In its hand, it held a black greatsword, its blade engraved with eerie runes and emanating a dense aura of death.
It exuded a suffocating aura, as if the entire world was under its control.
The true form of the Heavenly Demon has finally descended.
The moment the true form of the Heavenly Demon emerged from the crack, the world changed color.
Black mist surged from the cracks like a tide, instantly covering the entire wasteland.
In the sky, dark clouds surged and lightning flashed, as if the heavens and earth were trembling at the arrival of this world-destroying demon.
The dark figure was about twenty feet tall, completely black, with no facial features, only a pair of blood-red eyes that gleamed eerily in the darkness.
It held a black greatsword in its hand, the blade covered with eerie runes and exuding a dense aura of death.
It exuded a suffocating aura, as if the entire world was under its control.
Zhou Ning stood on the city wall, his hands tightly gripping the jade talisman that controlled the great formation, pouring his primordial spirit power into it without reservation.
He could feel that the entire Qingfeng City was within his perception; every rune on the city wall and every spirit stone in the city center was connected to his mind.
The golden light shield of the Zhou Tian Star Array became even more dazzling under the blessing of the primordial spirit, enveloping the entire city in a warm glow.
"Zhou Ning, hold on!" Yan Chixia's voice rang in his ears.
Zhou Ning gritted his teeth and poured in the last bit of his primordial spirit power.
The golden light shield trembled violently under the impact of the black mist, but remained as steady as a rock.
The people in the city hid in their homes, trembling with fear. Children were held tightly in their mothers' arms, not daring to make a sound.
On the streets, only the resolute footsteps of the guards and their deep commands could be heard.
The Heavenly Demon raised his giant sword, and the runes on the sword glowed with an eerie black light.
The black light grew stronger and brighter, turning the entire wasteland black.
"Yan Chixia, Zhou Ning, do you think this broken formation can stop me?"
The Heavenly Demon's voice was deep and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of the netherworld.
"Today, I will raze Qingfeng City to the ground and send you all to hell."
It slashed down with its sword.
A black sword aura shot out from the tip of the sword, like a black dragon, carrying a world-destroying power, and crashed hard into the golden light shield of Qingfeng City.
"boom--!"
The deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth, causing the entire Qingfeng City to tremble violently.
The runes on the city wall flickered wildly, their golden light flashing on and off, as if they might shatter at any moment.
Zhou Ning felt a tremendous impact emanating from the jade talisman, which made his hands go numb and caused a trickle of blood to spill from the corner of his mouth.
But he gritted his teeth and didn't let go.
"Master, I can't hold on any longer..." Zhou Ning's voice trembled slightly.
Yan Chixia walked behind him, placed his hands on his back, and channeled his true energy into his body.
A warm and powerful force surged into Zhou Ning's meridians, merging with his primordial spirit power.
With the combined efforts of the two, the golden light shield stabilized again, blocking the black sword energy outside.
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Demon.
"You think the two of you can stop me?"
It raised its giant sword and slashed down again.
This time, the black sword energy was thicker and more powerful than the first sword strike.
The sword energy struck the light shield, producing a deafening explosion.
The light shield trembled violently, flashing with golden light, and several fine cracks appeared.
Large beads of sweat appeared on Zhou Ning's forehead, and all the muscles in his body were trembling.
He could sense that the spirit stones in the great formation were being consumed rapidly, and if there were a few more attacks like this, the great formation would collapse.
"Master, we must seal the rift as soon as possible," Zhou Ning said.
Yan Chixia nodded, took out a jade talisman from his sleeve, and handed it to Zhou Ning.
"This is the core of the sealing formation. Integrate it into your primordial spirit and guide the power of the formation into the crack."
Zhou Ning took the jade talisman, took a deep breath, and focused his divine sense into his dantian.
Within the dantian, the illusory image of the primordial spirit sat cross-legged in the center, its hands forming a mudra, radiating a dazzling purple-gold light.
He placed the jade talisman between his eyebrows, and the talisman transformed into a purple-gold light that merged into his primordial spirit.
In that instant, Zhou Ning felt his consciousness being magnified infinitely.
He saw the entirety of Qingfeng City, every rune on the city walls, every spirit stone in the city center, every inch of land in the wasteland, and every dark shadow in the cracks.
He could even see the huge mass of black mist at the deepest part of the crack.
That is the origin of the Heavenly Demon.
"Now!"
Zhou Ning poured all his primordial spirit power into the great formation, guiding its power to extend towards the crack.
Golden rays of light shot out from the light shield, like countless golden chains, flying towards the crack.
The chains pierced through the black mist, through countless shadows, through the edge of the crack, and headed straight for the source of the Heavenly Demon deep within the crack.
The Heavenly Demon seemed to sense the danger and let out an angry roar.
It raised its greatsword and slashed wildly at the golden chains, but there were too many chains, too dense, and it couldn't cut them all.
Several chains bound the giant sword, several chains bound its body, and several chains flew directly towards the source of the Heavenly Demon deep within the rift.
"No--!"
The Heavenly Demon let out a desperate roar, and his body began to tremble violently.
Black mist billowed from its body, trying to break free of the chains.
But the chains tightened and became more tightly bound, securing it firmly.
Large beads of sweat appeared on Zhou Ning's forehead, and all the muscles in his body were trembling.
He could sense that his primordial spirit was under immense pressure, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
But he gritted his teeth and didn't let go.
He had only one thought in his mind.
Seal the Heavenly Demon and protect the people of Qingfeng City.
