Devouring the Starry Sky: Hunyuan Space

Chapter 837: Heart of the Demonic Blade - Fear

Central World City.

In three hidden underground spaces in the Central World City, three figures were sitting cross-legged. Their space-time positions were at the critical nodes of the formation, and they were the first to notice the turbulence of the formation.

Almost at the same time, three figures opened their eyes.

"What's going on? The formation was impacted and the demons started to riot. Is the time node really close?" Similar thoughts emerged in the minds of the three figures.

The devil's actions are nothing more than testing the pressure point of the formation.

"At the beginning, the teacher and his companions were unable to kill the demon and paid the price with their lives. In the end, they could only use the power of the world to suppress it permanently underground. However, this suppression is not unlimited. Once the demon's seed body conquers this place, it will be time for the demon to be unsealed."

"The demon's unusual movements, it seems that the decisive battle with the demon cultivators is coming."

The three of them are the descendants of the previous three, and now they have inherited the important task of suppressing the devil.

Now, feeling the turbulence of the formation, their expressions became ugly.

In that previous battle, before the demons were suppressed, they spread the demon seeds to the outside world. Once these demon seeds grew up, when the demon cultivators stepped into the central world city, that would be the day when the demons came.

Therefore, in order to prevent these seeds from growing, later generations established a demon-suppressing organization, and there were demon-suppressors. This was also their mission as life cultivators.

It’s a pity that the demon cultivators cannot be killed completely. Now, except for the Central World City and a few cities, the rest have already been conquered by the demon cultivators. The crisis seems to be approaching them infinitely.

Today, most of the living creatures have gathered in the remaining cities and the Central World City, waiting for the final moment.

At this moment, the formation that suppressed the demon began to shake, which made the worry in their eyes even more intense. According to the current situation, it seemed that the result was doomed - the demon would break through the formation, and all they could do was to delay it for some time.

"Formation two, formation three, come to me quickly." One of the figures communicated.

Two of the figures immediately flew quickly along the underground secret passage towards one of the directions. After just a moment, they arrived at an empty secret room. This place was the same as the other two areas, covered with all kinds of magical formations and secret patterns, completely sealing off the world below.

"Formation One." The second and third formations who arrived greeted him.

Because they all exist to suppress the entire formation, their code names are simply named Formation One to Formation Three.

"You all felt it, right? This time, the impact was unprecedentedly strong. This has never happened before. This time, even the entire central city felt it, causing some panic."

"The power of the devil has been restored to a lot of its terror." Zhen Yi looked at the other two and said solemnly.

Formations 2 and 3 also had serious expressions. This time, perhaps they still could not escape the catastrophe caused by the devil.

"Apart from guarding the three centers of the formation, is there no other way for us to do this?" Formation Two murmured.

“When the demon cultivators attack the Central World City, if we can’t resist them, the demons will rush out as well. By then, the whole world will be plunged into disaster.” Zhen San also said in a low voice.

The formation looked thoughtful, but he still spoke: "It's good that you know. So, I asked you to come here to discuss this matter. I feel that we should take the initiative to attack while the power of the demon has not yet fully recovered. We enter the formation, as long as we inflict heavy damage on him and then seal him, we should be able to delay some time."

"Now, what King Chen Jian needs most is time. As long as he takes the last half step to enter the divine realm, perhaps this world will be saved. It's a pity that if we don't take the initiative to attack, I'm afraid we won't have that time."

Yes.

Fortunately, God still gave them a glimmer of hope. Chen Feng, the 'Sword King', was the most gifted genius in the world. He was now the number one life cultivator, with a strength of half a step to the divine realm. He was also their last hope.

As long as they are not born into the realm of gods, there will never be hope. Even if they can suppress the devil again, it will only delay time for some time.

"Take the initiative to attack?" Formation Two and Formation Three both looked at Formation One.

Zhen Er pondered and said, "If we want to enter, it means that the formation needs an opening. If the formation opens, it means that the power of the formation may be affected. What if..."

"Second brother." Zhen Yi changed his address and looked at Zhen Er: "Even if we don't take the initiative, when the demon's strength is completely restored, perhaps there will be no need for those demon cultivators to rush into the World City, and the demon can rely on its own strength to rush out. If we do nothing, this will also happen, but if we do something, maybe the formation will loosen, and maybe, we can do it again. Injure the demon and give King Chen Jian some time."

The second and third formations were somewhat hesitant.

Under the teacher's instruction, they must not take the initiative to open the formation and enter it, because this is a huge potential risk. Once the demon comes out in advance and there is no way to stop its growth, at that time, all living beings will be devastated, and even the whole world will enter the destruction mode in advance. Seeing that the second and third formations were hesitant, the first formation said again: "Don't forget what our teacher did at the beginning. At the beginning, the realm of the three of them was equivalent to our current realm, half a step to the spirit realm, but they were also able to suppress the demon. Even if the demon rushes out at this time, the three of us, as well as Chen Jianwang and Elder Meng in the World City, five half-step spirit realms, are not enough to suppress him again?"

"Zhen Yi, the demon's strength will increase. I'm worried that his current strength is no longer what it used to be. Besides, in addition to the five of us, there are also demon cultivators at this level in this world. Even if we can suppress the demon again, our strength will be greatly weakened. When the demon cultivators arrive and attack here, the result will be the same." Zhen Er shook his head and said:

"If we want to do this, we must also let King Chen Jian and Elder Meng participate. The three of us will guard the formation outside, and they will go inside. Even if something goes wrong, we can suppress the internal unrest with the power of the entire world. But if we go inside, the formation will be unguarded, and the suppression power may decrease."

Zhen San also nodded: "Yes, this is a safer way, otherwise, we can't move."

"King Chen Jian is in seclusion, so it's not a good time to take action now. It won't be enough for Old Man Meng alone, so there's no need for us to stay outside. The three of us, plus Old Man Meng, might be able to give it a try. Now, we have to find a way to take the initiative before these demon cultivators start attacking World City. If we wait, there will be no chance. Since we have placed our hopes on King Chen Jian, we should buy him more time." Zhen Yi continued.

He continued in a low voice, "I have always had a feeling that the Divine Realm is the shackles of this world. It is very difficult to enter. Counting the time, I have been in this realm longer than Chen Jianwang, but I still can't find the way. There are only invisible powerful shackles. No one in this world has ever broken this shackle. Chen Jianwang, even if he is a genius, does he have hope in such a short time?"

Zhen Yi was unsure, but he knew that they needed to do something now.

He still wanted to be more proactive, as King Chen Jian needed more time.

"But, Lao Yi, we have to follow the master's instructions when we are guarding the formation." As soon as Zhen Er opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Zhen Yi: "So, if you think like this, don't even think about breaking the shackles of this world. The master's instructions are just instructions left to us by the previous generation, not restrictions. Now is a critical moment. If we don't make a decision, one day, the demon's strength will recover more, and we will never be able to turn things around."

All three parties were silent, and the atmosphere in the air was somewhat depressing.

They all felt heavy in their hearts.

Zhen San groaned for a moment, then nodded slightly: "What Lao Yi said is not without reason. Instead of waiting passively, we should take the initiative. If we cannot seriously injure the demon even if we take the initiative, it means that the demon will break through the formation sooner or later. If we do not take action, it will only delay the time a little bit, which is meaningless. But if we can seriously injure the demon, we can also give King Chen Jian more time. On this matter, I still agree with Lao Yi."

Zhen Er looked a little hesitant, but when he saw that the other two agreed, he nodded immediately: "Then let's try it once for now. Although King Chen Jian is in seclusion, Elder Meng can join in. Others in the Sky Breaking Realm who are strong enough can also join in. Since we are going to take action, we must not give the demon any chance and injure him directly."

Zhen Yi smiled solemnly: "I believe that the choice we made today is the right one."

At this point, the three guys reached a consensus and decided to take action against the demon.

What they didn't know was that the demon they attacked this time was no longer the same demon as before, and the formation was loosened, which might give the demon a chance to break free.

……

Luo Feng was sitting cross-legged on the back of the Swift Eagle. They did not stop but flew at a fast speed. He guessed that his position might be located by the 'devil' at any time. The guy who attacked him before must have been sent by the 'devil'. Since there was one, there might be a second one.

Now, what he needed was to use the energy he had previously swallowed to allow himself to break through to the Sky-breaking Realm as quickly as possible.

He has accumulated enough energy in the Million Mountains for a long time. With the help of the power of these demon cultivators, it will be easier for him to break through. Swallowing the blood of a mid-stage Sky Breaking Realm cultivator and the strength of his body may allow him to break through to the late stage of the Taixu Realm.

Only when he is strong enough can he cope with the challenges that come next.

However, what Luo Feng didn't know was that it was precisely because of the actions of those guys in the Central World City that his future situation might become even more difficult.

If it was just an ordinary demon, there would be no problem with the actions of those guys. But if it was a demon that had integrated the consciousness of the Demon Sword, and they dared to enter and attack it, even if they could hurt it together, the Heart of the Demon Sword would definitely escape from it. At that time, it would be a huge blow to Luo Feng.

Unless, those guys are a little stronger and can inflict serious damage to the demons.

Seriously injured? This is a very small possibility.

……

"What's going on? Feeling fear?" After flying in the Million Mountains for a while, Luo Feng suddenly opened his eyes from his practice. It was not because he had completed the refining, but because he sensed an abnormal change in the power in his body. A trace of fear arose in his heart.

It seemed that his destiny was approaching.

"The direction of this fearful feeling should be in the east." Luo Feng looked and followed the direction indicated by the map. That location happened to be the direction of the Central World City. "What on earth happened? Could it be that the demon is moving? It seems that I really don't have much time left."

Luo Feng sensed the immense urgency, but he remained calm. He closed his eyes again and tried hard to refine that strand of power.
