Devouring demons, I attain immortality.

Lin An took a deep breath, and the spiritual power within his body surged wildly. The golden light on the Nine Revolutions Demon Slayer Blade became even more dazzling, as if it were about to illuminate the entire world.

He knew that facing such a powerful opponent, he had to fight with all his might to find a breakthrough.

Xuan Fengzi and Liu Zhanshu exchanged a glance, their eyes both flashing with determination.

They knew that there was no room for hesitation at this moment, and they had to fully cooperate with Lin An.

This young man's strength is unfathomable; even they are far behind him.

"good!"

Xuan Fengzi let out a low shout, his hands quickly forming a seal as he chanted incantations. In an instant, a dazzling spiritual light flew from his palm, transforming into a giant spirit bird that rushed towards the ghost.

Liu Zhanshu was equally unyielding, wielding his longsword with a sword aura that shot straight towards the ghost.

His sword aura was incredibly sharp, and wherever it passed, the black energy retreated.

Upon seeing this, the ghost's expression changed slightly, but he did not back down. Instead, he frantically urged the demonic power within his body.

The black energy surged in like a tidal wave, neutralizing the attacks from Xuan Fengzi and Liu Zhanshu one by one.

"Hmph, you think you can hurt me with just one Nascent Soul and one Divine Transformation cultivator?" The ghost sneered, his voice full of disdain.

"This kid is the only odd one... but he's just an ant!"

Lin An ignored his taunts, his gaze fixed on the ghost, trying to find his weakness.

However, the ghost's form was too elusive, and the black aura kept surging, making it difficult for him to grasp.

Just then, Lin An suddenly thought of something. He swung his sword sharply, and golden light shot out like lightning, heading straight for the ghost. However, this strike was not an attack, but a probe.

The ghost dodged Lin An's attack with a swift movement. However, in that instant, Lin An keenly sensed something amiss. He noticed that the ghost's movements seemed to falter slightly as he dodged.

"This is it!" Lin An was overjoyed. He immediately understood the ghost's weakness.

It turns out that although the ghost's movements are unpredictable, his evasions are not entirely without pattern. If you can catch the moment he dodges, you might find a way to break through.

A resolute glint flashed in Lin An's eyes. He swung his sword again, but this time, his attack was full of power.

The Nine-Turn Demon-Slaying Blade transformed into a golden rainbow, heading straight for the ghost.

Ghost clearly sensed Lin An's intention, his expression changed drastically, and he tried to dodge again.

However, this time, Lin An was already prepared. The devouring power within his body surged wildly, condensing the surrounding spiritual energy into the Nine Revolutions Demon-Slaying Blade.

"Break it!"

Lin An let out a low shout, and the golden light on the Nine Revolutions Demon Slayer Blade instantly surged, transforming into a huge blade of light that rushed straight towards the ghost.

The ghost had no time to dodge, and the light blade struck him hard.

He let out a piercing scream, and his body was instantly engulfed by golden light. The black mist receded like a tide, revealing his true face—a pale and distorted one.

"No! This is impossible!"

The ghost's voice was filled with terror and resentment. However, no matter how much he struggled, he could not resist Lin An's devouring power. His strength was rapidly draining away, and his body was gradually becoming illusory.

"Who...who are you? Why do you have such great power?" the ghost asked with difficulty.

Lin An sneered, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes: "Who I am is not important, what's important is that I want you dead!!!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin An swung his sword again, and golden light surged toward the ghost like a tide.

The ghost let out a desperate roar, but it was to no avail. His body was ultimately swallowed up by the golden light, turning into a wisp of black smoke and vanishing without a trace.

With the death of the ghost, the demon army was leaderless and immediately fell into chaos.

What was once a menacing presence has now turned into fear and unease.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin An, Xuan Fengzi, and Liu Zhanshu launched a counterattack, causing the demon army to suffer repeated defeats.

However, Lin An did not let his guard down. He knew that this battle was far from over.

The power of the extraterrestrial demons was far greater than he had imagined; they had to prepare for a long battle.

"Seniors, we cannot let our guard down," Lin An said in a deep voice. "Although the demon army has retreated for the time being, they may return at any time."

Xuan Fengzi and Liu Zhanshu both nodded, knowing full well that what Lin An said was true.

The extraterrestrial demons have enormous ambitions, and they will never easily give up their invasion of the Great Qian Dynasty.

"Young friend Lin An is right," Xuan Fengzi said in a deep voice. "We must immediately reorganize our forces and prepare for the next battle."

Liu Zhanshu nodded as well: "At the same time, we must notify all the major sects as soon as possible so that they can also prepare. The threat of the extraterrestrial demons is not just in our Jinzhou City, but in the entire Daqian."

Lin An nodded; he already had a plan in mind.

He knew that this battle would be a long and arduous struggle, but he was prepared.

"Seniors, let's head back to the city first," Lin An said. "I need to rest and recuperate to prepare for the next battle."

Xuan Fengzi and Liu Zhanshu both nodded. They knew that Lin An had consumed a lot of spiritual energy and definitely needed to rest.

The three quickly returned to Jinzhou City and began preparing for the next battle.

Several days later, a large number of cultivators had gathered in Jinzhou City. Disciples from various sects also rushed over, preparing to jointly resist the invasion of the extraterrestrial demons.

Lin An stood on the city wall, hands behind his back, gazing at the dark, imposing army of demons in the distance.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from afar.

A cultivator dressed in black robes rushed over, his expression panicked, and said, "Lord Xuanfengzi, Lord Liu, something terrible has happened! We just received intelligence! The army of extraterrestrial demons has returned and is already approaching Jinzhou City!"

"What?!"

Xuan Fengzi and Liu Zhanshu exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

They never expected that the Sixth Demon Palace, which had just slain the extraterrestrial demons and thwarted their first wave of attacks, would face such a swift second wave!

A cold glint flashed in Lin An's eyes. He gripped the Nine-Turn Demon-Slaying Blade tightly and said in a deep voice, "It seems this is going to be another tough battle..."

Xuan Fengzi and Liu Zhanshu both nodded; they knew that this battle was unavoidable.

The three quickly reorganized their forces, preparing to welcome the arrival of the demon army.

The Great Qian Demon Suppression Division, along with the cultivators who were heading to Jinzhou City to participate in the cultivators' gathering, all stood on the city's defenses to be on guard.

Soon after, the demon army surged in like a tidal wave.

Huge flying demons hovered in the sky, emitting piercing screechs.

On the earth, countless demons emerged from the cracks in the ground, brandishing weapons, and charged towards Jinzhou City.

Lin An, Xuan Fengzi, and Liu Zhanshu stood on the city wall, their expressions solemn as they watched the approaching demon army in the distance.

"Young friend Lin An, are you ready?" Xuan Fengzi asked in a low voice.

Lin An nodded, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "No problem, no problem..."

Since slaying the sixth demonic palace of the extraterrestrial demons—the Ghost Soul—Lin An's cultivation level has broken through once again.

He has now entered the Nascent Soul Realm, and with the support of the Earth-Rank Spirit Treasure Nine-Turn Demon-Slaying Blade and the Devouring System, his strength is definitely no less than that of the Divine Transformation Realm.

This is also Lin An's trump card!

"Seniors, let me fight the first battle!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin An rushed out first. The Nine Revolutions Demon-Slaying Blade in his hand shone brightly with golden light, and its devouring power surged wildly.

Wherever it passed, demons fell and vanished into black smoke.

Seeing this, Xuan Fengzi and Liu Zhanshu followed without hesitation.

They attacked the demon army from both sides, their spiritual light and sword energy intertwining, forcing the demons into a retreat.

However, the demon army was simply too vast in number. Even with Lin An and his companions giving their all, they could not completely withstand their onslaught.

Soon, the demon army approached the city walls, and the cultivators inside the city began to fight back fiercely.

"This can't go on!" Jinzhou City Lord Liu Zhanshu was extremely anxious.

He knew that if things continued like this, Jinzhou City would eventually be breached by the demons.

Although these demonic armies were numerous and most of them were at the Enlightened or Awakened Realm, they were simply too many and too powerful. The number of cultivators in Jinzhou City was limited, and as time went on, many cultivators lost their spiritual energy and perished.
