Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

Shadow Sacrifice is very strong.

Peak of the fifth tier.

The Shadow Demon King's descendant.

And there he stood again in the Shadow Pulse Array that it had seized with its own hands.

Logically speaking, this should be its home ground.

Unfortunately, it encountered Shen Ye.

Candlelight Nine Shadows.

The dust of calamity destroys the source.

Night Feather Burns Soul.

Although Long Yuan was not in the array chamber, he used the Myriad Beasts Divine Pattern to feed back the power of the Fighting King's body to Shen Ye.

Add to that Meng Qianqiu's extremely sharp sword.

The more Ying Si fought, the more frightened he became.

Two of its six shadow arms were severed by Shen Ye, and another arm was pierced by Meng Qianqiu.

Night Feather's Nether Phoenix Purgatory continuously burned its shadow body, preventing it from fully integrating into the formation.

Meanwhile, Jie Chen had already latched onto the purple eye mark in the center of the array plate.

Click.

The shadow mark on the eye has cracked at one corner.

Above the ground, the chaos at the seventh defensive line of Zhenmo Pass immediately subsided.

The shadows of a large number of soldiers pressed back against their feet.

Chu Jinglan shouted:

"efficient!"

Qin Wuji repelled the giant shadow of the Flame Prison Clan outside the city with a single spear thrust, and said coldly:

"Then hurry up!"

Inside the underground array chamber, Shadow Sacrifice was in a complete panic.

Its purple eye on its forehead suddenly burst open.

A will far exceeding the fifth rank descended from its body.

Shadow Queen.

It's her again.

"Shen Ye."

"You have repeatedly jeopardized my important plans."

Shen Ye looked at the purple phantom that appeared behind Ying Si, his tone calm:

"You keep sending me things."

"I won't accept it; it's impolite."

Jie Chen bit down even harder.

The Shadow Queen was enraged.

"presumptuous!"

Purple light descended.

Shen Ye met him head-on.

The Beast King's body burned to its limit, and gray-gold tribulation patterns appeared on the black-gold short sword.

boom!

Shen Ye was forced back half a step.

Only half a step.

Meng Qianqiu's eyes lit up.

"It's stronger than it was at Burial Beast Ridge."

Shen Ye did not answer.

He swung his sword backhand.

All tribulations are reduced to a single slash.

The sword light pierced through the purple phantom and struck the Shadow Sacrifice's true form.

Shadow Sacrifice screamed as half of his body shattered.

The Shadow Queen's will is still suppressing it.

Meng Qianqiu stepped forward, and the illusory image of the Thousand Autumn Sword bone solidified.

"I'll also try sixth-order willpower."

One sword.

The sword's blade, as smooth as jade, slashed through the purple shadow.

He was so shocked that he coughed up blood and staggered back.

However, the purple phantom was also slashed open.

Jie Chen seized the opportunity to swallow the Shadow Eye Mark in one gulp.

Click.

The center of the array plate went completely dark.

Above the Demon Suppression Pass, the enormous purple eye burst open.

All the shadows that had been taken from the Seventh Line of Defense have been restored to normal.

[The Shadow Eye city-opening attack has been successfully cracked.]

[The dust of calamity devours the shadow eye mark.]

[Bloodline Awakening Level Increased: 44.1% → 51.9%]

[Skill Enhancement: Eye of the Thief.]

[Gained special ability: Vision of Penetration.]

The Shadow Demon Queen's will emitted a shriek.

"No!"

Shen Ye raised his sword and looked at Ying Si.

"Your turn."

Ying Si wanted to escape.

But the Eternal Seal has already been placed.

Blood Escape cannot be used.

Shadowmeld cannot be used.

Even Wang Xueying's body was locked down by the Vision of Deception.

Shen Ye and Meng Qianqiu drew their swords simultaneously, one on the left and one on the right.

One sword, ten thousand calamities.

A sword that lasts a thousand autumns.

puff!

The core of the Shadow Sacrifice was pierced by the two swords.

[Slaying Shadow Priest, a descendant of the Shadow Demon Clan.]

[Gained Evolution Points: 18000.]

[Obtained 1 Shadow Fiend Blood Crystal.]

[Extract Talent Fragment: Shadow Pulse Control Fragment 1.]

The underground chamber returned to silence.

Shen Ye sheathed his sword, his face slightly pale.

Using the Body of the Beast King continuously consumes a lot of energy.

Meng Qianqiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled:

"If I do it again, I'll probably have to leave lying down."

Shen Ye said:

"Then don't lie down."

The two returned to the city wall, covered in dust.

The seventh line of defense has been stabilized again.

But outside the city, the real battle has only just begun.

The Blood Demon Clan and Bone Demon Clan's armies pressed forward once again.

The sixth-tier giant shadow of the Flame Prison Clan stood in the center of the battlefield, lava flowing from its body, like a moving volcano.

Qin Wuji, Li Xuance, and Chu Jinglan are struggling to hold on.

Deep within the Demon Suppression Pass, several sixth-order human auras rose up and were on their way.

Shen Ye looked up.

A system notification appears.

[The Demon Suppression Pass defense mission is now open.]

[Mission 1: Hold the seventh line of defense.]

[Mission Two: Slay three generals of the fifth rank or higher from all races.]

[Mission 3: Assist in repelling the main force of the myriad races attacking the city.]

[Reward: Host breaks through to the late stage of Tier 4, receives 2 clues to Tier 5 Beast Taming materials of your choice, and 40000 Evolution Points.]

Shen Ye's eyes lit up again.

The reward is good.

He looked at the array of troops from all tribes outside the city.

Night Feather landed back on his shoulder, and the Netherfire, which was half a step into the fifth rank, reignited.

Jie Chen lay on the other side, having just finished swallowing the Shadow Eye Mark, and was in excellent spirits.

The Candle Nine Plate entered the shadow, its deep blue vertical pupils locking onto all the races outside the city.

Long Yuan returned from the city, covered in blood, his fighting spirit soaring.

Shen Ye gripped the Demon Suppression Army Token, his voice echoing throughout the seventh defense line.

"Demon Suppression Army".

"Follow me and fight back!"

On the city wall, after a brief silence, the Demon Suppression Army roared in unison.

"kill!"

Shen Ye took a step forward and leaped down the thousand-meter-high city wall.

Behind him, Night Feather spread its wings.

Calamity Dust Stepping on Thunder.

Nine candles cast shadows.

Dragon Abyss Roars.

The seventh line of defense launches a counterattack, beginning.
