Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

The terrifying power displayed by the two crystal cannons made all the demon kings feel insecure.

They could clearly see that because the two cannons overlapped, their energy was partially canceled out by each other. If they had been staggered and attacked the upper and lower halves of the Fire Cloud Demon King separately, he would probably be dead by now.

Similarly, if these two cannons had not attacked the fire cloud simultaneously, but instead had attacked two different targets separately, they could have caused at least two serious injuries if caught off guard.

Losing two players wouldn't be a big deal for their team, but no one wanted to be the one to be "cut," because they all knew that this big battle was their last chance to make a name for themselves as key players, and once they missed it, it would never come again.

Once the restrictions of the ancient oath are lifted, the level of war will inevitably become higher and higher. At that time, even the Demon Emperor will have to take action personally, and the Demon Lord will be the mainstay. Their cultivation level will only be active on the edge of the battlefield. At that time, let alone merit, no one may even remember their hard work.

If you don't want to sink into oblivion, you have to fight your way through this battlefield. Only by making enough contributions can you prove your worth. If you are valuable, you will be nurtured by the Demon Lord or even the Demon Emperor, and only then can you stand out from the crowd.

This war has only just begun, and there's a long road ahead. Nobody wants to be eliminated at this point.

The Azure Owl Demon King and the Steel Tooth Demon King were currently in a position of absolute dominance, and were somewhat unwilling to receive the order.

If you want to achieve great things, killing human Golden Core cultivators is definitely the fastest and simplest way.

However, Thunder Demon King was a confidant of Illusionary Eye Demon Lord and his designated leader. Even if they were unwilling, they dared not disobey his orders. They each broke away from the battle as quickly as possible and headed towards the city tower where the crystal cannon was located.

Although it was the first time they had seen such a powerful celestial machine, experience told them that such machines generally consumed a great deal of energy, and the stronger their power, the longer the vacuum period after launching an attack.

Now is indeed the best time to destroy this thing.

The two worked in perfect coordination, breaking through the defenses at high speed from the left and right, launching a fierce and relentless attack on the breach they had previously made.

The defensive array, which had just begun to heal, was torn apart once again.

With no Golden Core cultivators guarding the city walls and the crystal cannons in a period of energy storage, no one could restrain Qingxiao and Gangchi. With the two demons working closely together, they quickly broke through the firepower defense line constructed by the array and various defensive weapons.

"boom--"

After the two demons arrived near the city wall, they transformed into their true forms as demon kings and began to frantically attack the breaches in the defensive array.

With each strike, the entire Broken Mountain City trembled as the Qi surged.

On the city walls, countless disciples of the Sun Sect risked their lives, one after another, just to alleviate even the slightest pressure on the damaged defensive array.

Clouds of blood mist exploded on the city wall, and most people couldn't even let out a scream. Among them were many inner disciples who had been painstakingly trained, making the elders' hearts ache.

After decades of painstaking cultivation, it was left behind in this Broken Mountain City in an instant.

Once the gap widened to a certain extent, Qingxiao and Gangchi reverted to their human forms and charged in with ferocious smiles. At present, all the Golden Core cultivators in the Jade Flower Cultivation World were being held back by opponents several times their size, and were unable to attend to them at all.

The two demons moved about on the city wall as if it were empty, ruthlessly reaping the lives of the Yao Ri Sect disciples.

Although they were caught up in the excitement of the battle, they did not forget their mission and rapidly approached the city tower where the crystal cannon was located.

The elders guarding the city tower had bloodshot eyes at the sight of the two demons covered in blood. If it weren't for their duty, they would have rushed up long ago. Now was the time to fight to the death, and they roared fiercely, "Where are the Dharma Protectors of the Dharma Hall?!"

Seven Purple Mansion cultivators clad in heavy armor rushed out from behind him, arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, blocking Qingxiao and Gangchi's path.

Even when facing two demon kings at the same time, there was no fear in their eyes.

From the moment they were selected to join the sect's guardian hall, they were prepared to sacrifice themselves for the sect. No matter how powerful the enemy was in front of them, they would never back down without orders!
The leading, tall-crowned cultivator, brandishing his sword, shouted, "Fellow disciples, if we can hold out for just a quarter of an hour, the defensive array will be repaired. At that time, we will be able to keep these two cold-blooded beasts who kill without hesitation in the city. In this battle, we will advance without hesitation, even if we die!"

"You bunch of small fry think you're worthy?"

The Steel-Toothed Demon King's voice boomed like thunder, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Don't waste time. Once the defensive array is repaired, we will be in a very passive position." The Azure Owl Demon King was surprisingly calm and did not underestimate his opponent just because he was facing only a few Purple Mansion cultivators.

"kill!"

The seven guardians roared simultaneously, and a layer of golden flames appeared on the surface of each of their bodies. As their primal power burned, their auras also rose rapidly, briefly reaching the perfect state of the Purple Mansion.

"【The Big Dipper Sword Formation】, activate!"

Holding a green sword and stepping on the Heavenly Dipper, the seven of them were as one. As their magic power flowed, the phantom of a giant sword condensed above them. The Big Dipper shone on the broad blade in turn. The surging sword energy immediately made the Azure Owl Demon King wary, and he fell behind the Steel Tooth Demon King by one step without leaving a trace.

"Fellow disciples, follow me to slay the demon!"

"boom"

With his shout, the giant sword above his head crashed down.

Steel Teeth took a deep breath, and his body instantly swelled up a lot, his skin turning bronze with a metallic sheen.

He directly stretched out his hands to meet the Heavenly Gang Greatsword head-on.

The seven had cultivated their combined attack technique for many years, and had also used the sect's secret technique to burn their own essence, raising their cultivation to the extreme. Although Steel Teeth was physically powerful, this sword strike was not so easy to withstand.

He lost his strength in almost the blink of an eye, and a sword slashed directly into his right shoulder, the wound so deep that bone was visible. Steel Teeth's face twisted in pain.

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Azure Owl Demon King, who was a step behind him. He seized the opportunity to extend his sharp claws and directly pierced the chest of the leading high-crowned cultivator, crushing his heart.

The expression on the tall, crowned cultivator's face froze instantly, and he collapsed limply into a pool of blood.

"Senior Brother!"

"kill!"

Seeing this, the remaining six were heartbroken and launched a final, desperate charge.

The [Celestial Dipper Sword Formation] cannot be formed without even one person. Without the combined power, they are not even qualified to fight the Demon King.

Enraged, the Steel-Toothed Demon King revealed his true form, smashing the young cultivator at the forefront into a bloody pulp with a single palm strike. He then grabbed another person and slammed him mercilessly onto the floor, his head exploding instantly, splattering red and white matter everywhere.

The Azure Owl Demon King followed closely behind and killed two more people in an instant.

In a short while, five out of seven members of the Guardian Hall were gone. "Leave the remaining two to me, you go and complete the task," the Steel-Toothed Demon King said in a gruff voice.

The Azure Owl Demon King nodded, and was about to destroy the crystal cannon when a sudden alarm bell rang in his mind, and he decisively retreated dozens of feet.

The next moment, a silver streak of light arrived from the horizon in an instant, piercing through the spot where he had just been standing.

When the outer layer of magical power dissipated, the Azure Owl Demon King looked closely and discovered it was a coiled dragon silver spear.

A figure descended like a meteorite, landing beside the silver spear. He swiftly pulled it out, brandishing the spear and shouting, "Hou Yu of the Nine Mysteries Sect is here! You beast, cease your insolence!"

Immediately afterwards, several more figures landed in various parts of Broken Mountain City.

"Great! Reinforcements have arrived!"

Upon seeing those imposing figures, the disciples of the Sun Sect on the city wall burst into tears of joy.

From the moment the demons launched their surprise attack until now, only a quarter of an hour has passed, but for those caught in the middle of it, it feels like a year.

Thousands of Yao Ri Sect disciples have been laid to rest forever, and the vast majority of them were not even able to leave behind a complete corpse.

"How did they get here so fast? Wasn't the spatial teleportation passage blocked? What a bunch of useless trash!"

The Azure Owl Demon King's face was ashen. The reason they were so aggressive was that they wanted to break through Duanshan City before reinforcements arrived.

Once Broken Mountain City falls, the Jade Flower Cultivation World will be theirs for the taking.

Given the current situation, it is impossible to break through Duanshan City.

The most critical issue is that they are currently inside Broken Mountain City, and the breach in the defensive array is their only escape route. If it is blocked, it will be like trapping a dog inside a cage, and they will surely die!
Thinking of this, he decisively abandoned the Steel-Toothed Demon King and withdrew.

Given the atrocities committed by the two demons, how could Hou Yu and the others possibly do as he wished? Quan Chong had already personally stood in front of the breach and completely sealed it off.

Seeing this, a look of despair flashed in Qingxiao's eyes...

At the same time that Hou Yu and others were ordered to provide reinforcements, the cultivation worlds of Daqi and Lu were simultaneously attacked by the demon race, whose offensive was far more swift than that of the Yuhua cultivation world.

The surprise attack on the Yuhua cultivation world was merely a pretext for the demon race. Even the Great Qi cultivation world was not their primary target. Their real weakness was the Lu Kingdom cultivation world, which was the weakest in terms of overall strength.

As the demon race's offensive fully unfolded, their strategy became clearly revealed to everyone.

The most powerful Illusionary Eye Demon Kingdom feigned an attack on the most remote Jade Flower Cultivation World, creating the illusion of a major offensive against the Southwest Alliance to attract its attention. Subsequently, the main forces of the Golden Eye Demon Kingdom and the Soaring Dragon Demon Kingdom attacked the Great Qi Cultivation World, approaching Qixia County in Jiangzhou, attempting to use this to contain Song Changsheng.

All of the above was merely a prelude to the attack on the cultivation world of Lu.

The Fire Spirit Demon Kingdom, the Thunder Swamp Demon Kingdom, and the Giant Devouring Demon Kingdom—dozens of demon kings from these three major demon kingdoms—came out in full force, and the mere aura they exuded was enough to make people tremble.

Not to mention that the cultivation world of Lu is the weakest in overall strength among the cultivation worlds along the southwest river, even the cultivation world of Gusu, which has the largest number of Golden Core cultivators, would collapse at the first touch in the face of such an offensive.

If the demon race had been able to organize an offensive of this magnitude in the past, the fragmented Southwest Nine Realms would have been defeated one by one long ago.

But now, not only have the six great demon kingdoms united, but the Nine Realms of the Southwest are no longer what they used to be. Song Changsheng had long anticipated this situation.

From the moment he received the plea for help from the Yu Hua cultivation world, he knew that it was not the main direction of the demon race's attack.

Given the importance the demon race attaches to this battle, the initial surprise attack could not possibly be as simple as just eighteen demon kings; it is immediately obvious that it was the work of the Illusionary Eye Demon Kingdom.

Before the demon race officially launched their attack, Song Changsheng set out to inspect the spatial teleportation passages between the nine realms in the southwest. Sure enough, he discovered that several spatial teleportation nodes had been shielded by special magical artifacts and formations.

After deciphering it, he stayed in the cultivation world of Lu to oversee the situation and secretly mobilized the Golden Core cultivators from the six major cultivation worlds of Da Yu, Gu Su, Da Xiao, Yu Long, Cang Yuan, and Daming to gather in the cultivation world of Lu, awaiting the attack of the demon race.

When news of the surprise attack on the Jade Flower Cultivation Realm reached him, he only dispatched some Golden Core cultivators from the Jade Dragon Cultivation Realm and the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce to provide reinforcements, while the rest remained inactive.

Even when Cangmang Peak sent word that Qixia County had been attacked by demons, he showed no intention of diverting his troops.

He knew better than anyone how well the Great Qi cultivation world was defended; even if it faced attacks from two major demon kingdoms at the same time, it would not be at risk of falling in the short term.

The advantage of the attacking side is that it can launch a full-scale attack without any scruples, while the advantage of the defending side is that it has fortified cities as a base, allowing it to fight against overwhelming odds.

The demon race divided more than half of its forces in the two directions of Daqi and Yuhua cultivation world, while Song Changsheng only needed to mobilize less than one-third of his manpower to meet the defense requirements. The remaining manpower was all deployed in the Lu Kingdom cultivation world to wait for the enemy to attack.

Although Jinzhu Zhenren and Jinyi Hou had been controlled by Song Changsheng, he was not sure if there were any survivors. In order to avoid being detected by the demon race, he directly sealed off the space, eliminating all possibilities of transmitting messages outward.

As it turned out, he did an excellent job of keeping it a secret, and the demon race had no idea beforehand.

Dozens of demon kings from the three major demon kingdoms launched a surprise attack on Shura City, the forefront of the Rakshasa Hall, at top speed, and were met with a head-on blow from the Southwest Alliance.

The combined number of Golden Core level cultivators from both the human and demon races exceeded fifty. The Asura City, built a thousand years ago, simply could not withstand such a large-scale battle, and it was destroyed in less than half an hour.

Fortunately, they had anticipated this outcome and had withdrawn the garrisoned cultivators in advance, leaving behind only an empty city.

Song Changsheng stood atop the clouds, watching the human and demon races fight fiercely below, and hesitated to make a move.

All of the demon race's actions were within his expectations, but he did not let his guard down, because in his calculations, the demon race should still have a trump card, a card specifically prepared for him, that they had not yet revealed.

Not to boast, but although the demon kings below were numerous, none of them could withstand five rounds from him. This battlefield posed no threat to him; he could enter as if he were in an empty field.

If the demon race doesn't find a way to restrain him, they're just lining up to be his victims.

However, the demon race's trump card has not yet been revealed, and this unknown has made him somewhat uneasy.

"Could it be... a feint attack?"

Thinking of this, Song Changsheng's heart sank, and with a flash, he disappeared into the spatial black hole...
