“No need to worry too much. This Yin Demon is likely a special being born from a powerful corpse gaining spiritual intelligence. Its strength shouldn’t be that formidable,” the Burial Sect elder said. “Moreover, having just broken through the seal, it has expended much energy. Now is the time to attack.”
Sikong Jian and the others frowned. Was this Yin Demon truly not that powerful?
It seemed that with its emergence, everyone within ten thousand miles had perished.
Upon appearing, they were nearly trapped by its strange sensation. If they fought it, could they really be sure it wasn’t too strong?
Though it might be at its weakest after breaking the seal, who knew the Yin Demon’s limits or how strong it was even at its weakest?
The group questioned the Burial Sect elder’s words.
But at this moment, it seemed they had no choice but to try.
Otherwise, if this Yin Demon escaped, who knew what havoc it would wreak?
“Our dozen or so Martial Emperors are not weak. In that case, let’s test it and fight!” Sheng Qianyu said gravely.
As guardians of the righteous path, eliminating this Yin Demon was more critical than defeating the Emperor Attackers’ Alliance.
This Yin Demon was a true demon, one that would kill not just the righteous but ordinary people too.
Such a fiend had to be eradicated.
The other Martial Emperors exchanged glances and nodded.
Lin Xiao’s gaze instinctively turned to the Purple Corpse Puppet, now kneeling on the ground, utterly incapable of following his orders to attack the Yin Demon.
Lin Xiao cursed inwardly. This puppet was too pathetic. He, who bowed to no one, had a corpse puppet kneeling to another.
But there was no helping it. The Yin Demon was something the puppet instinctively feared, beyond resistance. No matter his commands, it was futile.
“We’ll have to go in head-on,” Lin Xiao thought.
Without the Purple Corpse Puppet to probe, they had no choice but to engage directly.
“Kill!” the Burial Sect elder shouted, gathering energy and charging toward the Yin Demon.
The other two Burial Sect Martial Emperors followed, while powerful auras erupted from Dongfang Kaiyuan, Sikong Jian, and Sheng Qianyu.
Lin Xiao gripped his Yaoguang Broken Sword and flew forward with the group.
As they approached within a hundred miles of the Yin Demon, everyone struck, unleashing powerful martial techniques.
Dazzling bursts of light flared, sharp sword and blade beams shot forth, and fists and palm strikes erupted, all surging toward the target.
The combined might of over a dozen Martial Emperors flowed like a raging river, roaring with ferocious force, overwhelming the sky as it charged the Yin Demon.
The entire Yin family city was engulfed by terrifying energy, with shockwaves rippling through.
The power of over a dozen Martial Emperors, including some of the Southeast Domain’s top experts, was immense, as if it could obliterate the void itself, its momentum earth-shaking and awe-inspiring.
Sensing the immense force, the Yin Demon’s single remaining right eye snapped open. Torrents of sinister qi exploded, and a chilling beam shot from its right pupil.
“Die.”
A hoarse, ancient voice came from the Yin Demon’s mouth, accompanied by surging sinister qi.
The beam, like demonic light from the underworld, seemed to carry a force too great for the heavens to contain. The world trembled, and faint ghostly wails echoed.
Around the Yin Demon, the vast void seemed to shimmer with blurry, terrifying images that couldn’t be clearly seen.
Though indistinct, they gave the impression of an impending apocalypse, making anyone who glimpsed them imagine doomsday scenes.
In that instant, Lin Xiao and the others’ gazes and minds were drawn to the blurry images.
But the next moment, the beam, carrying thousands of yards of surrounding sinister qi, crashed into their combined attack.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
Earth-shattering sounds rang out, the void seemed to quake, and the ground trembled faintly. A storm of energy erupted, with shockwaves like raging waves bursting from the collision, surging in all directions.
The entire area was overwhelmed by torrents of energy and shockwaves.
“Indestructible and Unbreakable!”
Snapped awake by the impact, Lin Xiao felt the terrifying shockwaves approach. His heart jolted, and he instantly activated Indestructible and Unbreakable.
His body radiated intense righteous qi, a golden light forming a defensive barrier.
The golden light solidified, forming golden scales that enveloped his entire body.
“Crash!”
In an instant, the surging shockwaves hit his impregnable barrier.
Like a leaf in a stormy sea, Lin Xiao, along with his golden barrier, was sent drifting outward by the force.
The others, though each raising their defenses, were also swept away by the immense shockwaves, sent flying dozens of miles.
Only after being pushed back dozens of miles did their bodies come to a stop, with vast energy waves still surging ahead.
“So powerful!” Shock appeared on everyone’s faces.
Though unharmed, they were sixteen Martial Emperors. Their combined strike was shattered by a single glance from the Yin Demon.
How terrifying was its strength?
“Too powerful,” Lin Xiao thought, stunned. His Indestructible and Unbreakable defense, which even Jian Wudi at the same level couldn’t dent, had been pushed back dozens of miles by the shockwaves. This showed the immense power of the Yin Demon’s strike.
Most terrifying were the blurry images triggered by the Yin Demon’s gaze. They weren’t dantian phenomena.
They seemed to stem from its power, perhaps its overwhelming strength or the countless slaughters it had caused.
When those images appeared, they were all captivated, rekindling that terrifying sensation. If the images had been clear, what would have happened?
He dared not imagine.
And this was the Yin Demon at its weakest?
If so, how strong would it be at its peak?
He couldn’t fathom it.
“It couldn’t injure us, so it’s not too outrageous,” the Burial Sect elder’s words snapped the group out of their shock.
Indeed, though the shockwaves were powerful, they hadn’t been harmed.
This suggested the Yin Demon’s beam, while strong, only matched their combined attack.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have merely pushed them back.
Still, the Burial Sect elder’s tone lacked confidence.
Everyone felt uneasy.
“Everyone, gather again and prepare your strongest strike. If we can’t take it down, we won’t fight,” the lead Burial Sect elder said gravely.
The group nodded. If their strongest trump cards, unleashed together, were still shattered by the Yin Demon, there was no point in continuing. Further fighting would only lead to disaster.
