Western Border of the Great Thousand World border.
Within a continuous mountain range, six figures stood on a mountain peak, their sharp gazes like hawks scanning the surroundings.
They were a scout squad of Demon Slayer Masters under the Great Thousand Palace.
Ever since receiving Lu Tong's report and learning that the Feind Demon Race might be making a move, Qin Tian attached great importance to the matter and immediately dispatched numerous Demon Slayer squads across the border to monitor the movements of the Feind Demon Race at all times.
This kind of preparation was not limited to the Great Thousand Palace.
The Endless Fire Domain, the Martial Realm, and even the Sword Domain had already begun their actions.
In addition, the five great ancient clans, who had received the news from Qing Yanjing, also sent experts to the border regions to provide support.
After all, the current timing was somewhat special. With the Great Thousand Covenant approaching, any accident could lead to unpredictable consequences, so even private grudges had to be set aside.
"It has already been a month. Why haven't we even seen a trace of a Demon? Could the information from the palace be wrong?" one of them said lazily, clearly bored.
"Whether it is wrong or not is not our concern. Anyway, we still receive Demon Slaying Points every day. It would actually be better if those Demons did not come," another immediately replied. "I just need to replace my weapon. I already have my eye on a high grade Saint Artifact spear. I am still three hundred points short. I hope this mission can last another month."
Aside from the squad leader, the remaining five members were all Greater Earth Sovereigns. If placed anywhere else in the Great Thousand World, such strength would be enough to dominate a region.
But here at the border, they were only ordinary patrol members, the kind who would immediately send out a signal and then flee upon detecting danger.
As for the patrol captain, he was a genuine High Level Demon Slayer, a rare existence even within the Great Thousand Palace.
"Enough nonsense. Stay alert!" the leader shouted sternly.
"Do you really understand what it means if the Feind Demon Race invades?"
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
Once the Feind Demon Race appeared, it meant the Great Thousand World would be engulfed in bloodshed and chaos.
Just as they were imagining what would happen if they encountered Feind Demon Race experts, suddenly, outside the void, countless black meteors carrying destructive light descended from the sky.
"Not good, Demon race invasion!"
In an instant, the patrol captain noticed the anomaly.
Without any hesitation, he immediately took out a spiritual jade and crushed it into powder.
Boom! Boom!
Countless meteor like streams of light crashed heavily onto the ground, and the aftermath destroyed the continuous mountain range.
"Message sent! Retreat!" the captain shouted in alarm.
"Hehehe, trying to run? Where do you think you can go?"
A strange laugh rang out. From the crater of the fallen meteors, hideous black giant beasts crawled out, roaring at the six members of the patrol team.
At the same time, at some unknown point, vast demonic energy had already gathered in the sky. Within that pitch black demonic mist, countless Demon Shadows twisted and flickered, and one figure stepped forward, directly reaching out with a claw toward them.
Seeing this, the patrol captain's heart shook violently. He immediately summoned a large saber and roared as he slashed forward.
"Annihilation Slash!"
The high grade Saint Artifact saber erupted with thousand zhang spiritual light, but it was quickly suppressed by even denser demonic energy.
The strike did not even fully complete before it was directly grasped by the demonic claw.
"Heh, useless."
Bang!
As the voice fell, the patrol captain's high grade Saint Artifact saber was forcibly snapped into two pieces.
Seeing this, the captain's eyes turned blood red with fury.
He could sense the terrifying strength of the attacker. It was definitely a Demon Emperor. Without hesitation, he turned into countless afterimages and shot backward.
At the same time, his five teammates were also heavily injured under the attacks of the black giant beasts, and some had already fallen.
In that instant, a trace of determination flashed in the captain's eyes.
If he could not escape, then he would self destruct and take at least one of these Demon bastards with him.
Just as he prepared to detonate his spiritual energy.
"Hehe, trying to self destruct? Unfortunately, you do not have that chance."
Suddenly, the demon figure appeared beside him. In the next instant, countless strands of demonic energy condensed into black needles, shooting toward his entire body.
Buzz.
Just as the entire squad was about to be annihilated, a buzzing sound rang out. A golden spiritual energy barrier suddenly expanded, directly repelling both the demon figure and the black needles.
As for the black giant beasts below, they were instantly annihilated upon contact with the barrier.
"You vile creature, this is not a place for you to run wild!"
A loud shout echoed through the sky as a massive teleportation array suddenly appeared. Countless figures stepped out in succession.
Leading them was none other than Qing Yanjing, Great Elder of the Ancient Buddha Clan.
Clearly, this teleportation array was her work.
Following behind Qing Yanjing were the elders of the Great Thousand Palace.
These elders all looked aged, but their auras were extremely powerful, all of them possessing Late Phase Immortal-Grade Heavenly Sovereign cultivation.
It was clear that they were peak experts who had been preserved within the Great Thousand Palace for countless years. Since breaking through to Saint Grade was hopeless for them, they had remained in closed cultivation. No one expected them to be mobilized this time.
With reinforcements from the Great Thousand Palace arriving, the Feind Demon Race naturally made their appearance as well.
Everything seemed deliberately arranged, yet no one cared about that now. Instead, all eyes were fixed on the massive demon figure stepping forward in the distance.
Demonic roars echoed through heaven and earth as boundless demonic energy surged endlessly, almost turning the entire sky of this continent into a Demon Domain.
Within the rising demonic mist, countless powerful Demon Shadows stood, their cold and sinister gazes like blades locking onto the Heavenly Sovereigns on the continent.
"So many demons have come. It seems the Feind Demon Race is truly enraged this time."
An elder with white hair and a dragon headed cane chuckled lightly.
"It seems you really struck a nerve with these demons back then!"
As long as the Feind Demon Race was weakened, it was a good thing for the Great Thousand World. Moreover, those killed were not ordinary people anyway.
As for the Demon invasion, would the Feind Demon Race ever behave even without this incident?
The two sides were locked in a struggle for survival, with no possibility of reconciliation. Therefore, the people of the Great Thousand Palace had never feared something like a Demon invasion.
However, Qing Yanjing was not as relaxed. Her expression was solemn as she said in a deep voice, "There is actually a Heavenly Demon Emperor leading them. Could these fellows be planning a full scale invasion? Or have they given up on attacks from other directions?"
"You are wrong. With only this level of strength, it is probably not even one tenth of the Feind Demon Race," the elder chuckled again.
Upon hearing this, Qing Yanjing was greatly shocked. "This, they are actually this strong?"
The last Great Thousand Covenant had already taken place a thousand years ago. Qing Yanjing had not experienced it herself, so she did not know how powerful the Feind Demon Race truly was.
"Yes, very strong. So strong that we can only defend and are powerless to drive these invaders completely out of our world!"
As he spoke, the elder's face was filled with gritted resentment.
"Tch, have you said enough?"
A gloomy voice suddenly sounded. Along with it, boundless demonic energy surged, and a massive skeletal throne slowly emerged from the demonic mist.
Seated upon the throne was a figure like a demon god. His pair of ashen eyes showed no emotion as he looked down at everyone, while an oppressive demonic might slowly spread, causing heaven and earth to turn dark and cold.
"Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor…"
The elder with the dragon headed cane narrowed his eyes and slowly spoke out the name.
Compared to this, the Great Thousand Palace side only had Qing Yanjing, an outsider Saint Grade expert. Although they had many others, their strongest were only Peak Late Phase Immortal-Grade Expert, far inferior to a Heavenly Demon Emperor.
"Where is Qin Tian? Why is he not here, sending you all here to die instead?"
"Hmph! Dealing with you is not worth the Great Elder's presence," the elder with the dragon headed cane said coldly without backing down.
"Hehe, I think he simply does not dare come, or perhaps he cannot come."
With the Great Thousand Covenant approaching, not only the Feind Demon Race was making moves, even the Great Thousand World side had its top experts unable to act freely.
Moreover, if Lu Bai were here, he would notice that although this Feind Demon Race seemed to be launching a full scale multi front invasion, it was actually all thunder and little rain.
As for what they were truly plotting, only they themselves knew.
"I will give you a chance. Hand over the culprit, and I will immediately cease hostilities. Otherwise, today I will flatten your Great Thousand Western Region for revenge!"
"Revenge!"
"Revenge!"
Demonic voices roared out in unison, shaking the entire space. Demonic energy surged violently while spiritual energy dimmed.
Boom!
When the demonic might reached its peak, the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor acted without hesitation. Boundless demonic energy erupted from his body, transforming into a pale giant hand that descended from the sky and ruthlessly struck down at Qing Yanjing and the others.
On that giant hand, endless death energy radiated. Once struck, all spiritual energy would be corroded and vitality extinguished.
Qing Yanjing was slightly startled, clearly not expecting a Heavenly Demon Emperor level expert to launch a sneak attack without warning.
However, her reaction was not slow. She formed seals with both hands, instantly constructing a large Array in the sky to block above everyone's heads.
Bang!
The giant hand slammed heavily onto the Array, causing a thunderous explosion to ring out across heaven and earth. Visible energy ripples spread out and affected the entire continent.
Under such a fierce attack, the Array first trembled violently, then shattered into light fragments and dissipated.
Qing Yanjing's face turned slightly pale, her eyes filled with shock.
Although she had reacted hastily, this was still a genuine Saint Grade Array, yet it was broken so easily. This Black Corpse Demon Heavenly Emperor was actually slightly stronger than that Jiang Ya!
"Oh? An Array? I did not expect a Saint Grade Array Spiritual Array Ancestor…"
Black Corpse Demon Heavenly Emperor's eyes turned slightly solemn, but the killing intent within them only grew stronger.
He had not forgotten that their race's "god" was still suppressed by their opponent's Array.
If not for the Great Thousand Destruction Demon Array activated by the Immortal Emperor himself, there would no longer be any Great Thousand World, and this place would already belong to their Saint Race.
In the next moment, Black Corpse Demon Heavenly Emperor raised his palm.
Drops of black liquid condensed in his hand, quickly forming into a massive water sphere.
"That is not good, that is corpse water condensed by the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor. Once contaminated, even a Immortal-Grade Heavenly Sovereign will be corroded into a pile of bones in an instant!" the elder with the dragon headed cane exclaimed.
He had witnessed more than once how corpse demon race experts used this move to kill Great Thousand experts, not to mention that it was used by the strongest of the corpse demon race.
Qing Yanjing's expression changed drastically and she quickly formed another Array, this time her strongest offensive one, the Great Sun Burning World Array.
At this moment, the Great Thousand Palace experts also dared not hold back. The elder with the dragon headed cane gave a command, and three peak Late Phase Immortal-Grade elders stepped forward, forming seals together in four directions.
"Four Symbols Guardian Array, activate!"
Boom!
At that moment, the corpse water sphere suddenly exploded, turning into a terrifying tide that surged toward everyone.
A golden Array rose instantly, forming a massive barrier above their heads. The four sacred beasts representing the Four Symbols power swam within it, firmly blocking the corpse water tide.
Sizzle sizzle.
The moment corpse water touched the barrier, intense corrosion began immediately. Within just a few breaths, the seemingly indestructible barrier was already on the verge of collapse.
"Damn it, it cannot hold!"
On the continent below, the three surviving patrol members watched the battle above with pale faces.
Just as despair set in, Qing Yanjing's Array was finally completed. Nine golden flames fused together, and the blazing Great Sun Golden Crow reappeared, unleashing its terrifying power.
Soon, the terrifying high temperature of the solar true fire completely burned away the corpse water, evaporating it entirely.
The Black Corpse Demon Heavenly Emperor frowned slightly and tapped his skeletal throne in displeasure.
"It seems I underestimated you…"
"However, the battle has only just begun. We have plenty of time!"
With that, he stopped attacking and waved his hand. Countless demon shadows surged forward, demonic energy spreading in all directions.
Seeing this, Qing Yanjing and the elder with the dragon headed cane both secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but did not dare relax.
"Everyone, engage the enemy!"
