Unexpectedly, only ten days after arriving at the defense line, Li Yi found himself facing a situation where a Great Demon crossed the border. He felt quite unlucky. A Great Demon of this level is currently almost invincible on Earth. Because Earth’s cultivation state hasn’t grown to the level of contending against a Great Demon, the top experts’ power is at the Spirit Tribulation Realm, barely able to contend with a Sky Demon. Currently, only Wu the Taoist and Feiyunzi, both Tri-Floral Realm experts, are on the defense line. They’ve only opened one flower each, and their strength is about the same as a Great Demon’s. If three or more Great Demons appear, this Earth Defense Line would collapse in an instant. Moreover, in this situation, Li Yi wasn’t confident that Wu the Taoist and Feiyunzi would do their utmost to fight the Great Demon. They are not from Earth; they are cultivation experts who crossed worlds and have no duty or obligation to protect Earth’s safety. Showing up and exerting power to deter a Great Demon is already quite charitable, but for them to risk their lives, it’s uncertain. As a result, at this moment, Li Yi couldn’t help but reveal a look of concern in his heart. "What should we do now?" Su Mu, along with Tao Sheng, Pan Hongjie, and Lu Yi, were all looking at him. Li Yi was the strongest of them here and also the person in charge of this section of the defense line, so naturally, everyone looked to him for advice. After thinking for a moment, Li Yi said, "There’s a high chance that the defense line might collapse against a Great Demon’s crossing. I’m not exaggerating. I know quite well the strength of our defense line. Our first priority should be to survive the upcoming battle; everything else is secondary." "Are you saying the defense line might not hold?" Su Mu and others couldn’t help turning pale. "I think everyone knows very well the gap between Earth and the Demon God Realm. The reason we’ve managed to hold on recently is because the Great Demons haven’t committed fully. If all their Great Demons come, like today, the defense line definitely won’t hold." Li Yi said seriously. He knew well the capability of the Tri-Floral Realm experts, as they were brought by him, whether they could contend with the Demon God Realm. On the side, Tao Sheng said, "If the defense line doesn’t hold, won’t Earth be finished? This invasion from the Demon God Realm is not like the small skirmishes from the Xuanxian Continent. They intend to take over Earth, and in terms of strength, the Demon God Realm is undoubtedly stronger than the Xuanxian Continent." Li Yi said, "Don’t worry, things shouldn’t get that bad. Some people are still willing to stand out to protect Earth. Even if we really end up falling, we can only do our best at what we’re capable. This kind of issue involving the survival of a world is not for us to worry about." "That’s right, we just need to do our own part well, at least ensure this section of the defense line isn’t lost. As for the Great Demons, we’ll have to rely on the experts on our defense line." Su Mu slightly nodded and said. However, during this brief discussion. A demonic cloud had already come rolling in, and the surging demonic power it emanated caused the warning devices within dozens of miles on the defense line to explode one after another, just from the spillover alone. The demonic power of the Great Demon whipped up a fierce wind, crashing towards the entire defense line like a massive wave. At this moment, all the Evolvers felt this dreadful demonic power. Their eyes widened as their bodies trembled, their souls desperately warning them to flee, or they might die here. Death loomed right before them. But at this moment, not one Evolver retreated, as coming to the defense line meant they were already prepared to die. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have accepted this mission to resist the Demon God Realm. "Is this the power of a Great Demon? It’s truly terrifying. This level of demonic power feels like a huge mountain, making it hard to breathe." At this moment, in a corner of the defense line, Ji Wu, a Martial Arts Master, stood in mid-air, clenching his fists, gazing into the distance, feeling the intense pressure. Even as a Martial Artist, he couldn’t help feeling anxious at this moment. But then, the blood within Ji Wu began to boil once more. A Martial Artist is born for the battlefield. If he could survive this battle, his Martial Arts Realm would undoubtedly undergo a massive breakthrough. If he died here today, it would prove he was nothing special. "Another Great Demon, what a headache." Sun Boxiu, Dean of the Golden Academy, stood high in the sky, frowning with unprecedented worry. He had witnessed the terrifying power of a Great Demon in action at the Golden Academy. It was genuinely earth-shaking, capable of devastating hundreds of miles with ease. He was merely lucky last time, with experts who managed to kill those three Great Demons, but who knows if such luck would happen again this time. "How many Great Demons are they deploying this time? Can the AI analyze it?" In the command center on the defense line, Xiao Jianguo had a heavy expression, filled with urgency but still maintaining his calm demeanor. "Based on the energy fluctuations from the warning devices, at least four, possibly five Great Demons are being deployed, with even more Sky Demons, close to thirty. As for Earth Demons, even more, probably one or two hundred." Someone immediately responded. Upon hearing this data, Xiao Jianguo momentarily froze. Five Great Demons, nearly thirty Sky Demons. How should this battle be fought? It must be known that on the defense line, there are only two people who can resist the Great Demons. Even if they can withstand the Sky Demons, it doesn’t help in such an unequal situation in terms of top combat power. Just thinking about it makes one feel despair. However, the Great Demons of the Demon God Realm don’t care about their feeling of despair because at this moment, they have already approached the defense line. Although they haven’t made a move, the cold killing intent has already made all the Evolvers’ hair stand on end. Each of them feels as if they’ve been targeted by a gigantic beast, ready to become someone else’s food at any moment. "Wu Yong, Li Yun, get out here!" At this moment, a familiar voice roared across the heavens and earth. The air trembled at this instant, making everyone’s ears buzz. The one shouting was Yuan Cang, a Great Demon on the opposing side. At this moment, he held a purple-gold Mixed Iron Rod, his eyes sharp as torches, glaring murderously in the direction of the Earth Defense Line. Around Yuan Cang, there were four Great Demons standing side by side, their expressions indifferent and filled with killing intent. At this moment, they put aside their dignity and came together, their aim to break through the defense line, slaughter the Evolvers on it, and reclaim the Treasure Moon Bow and Black Gold Arrow. To them, annihilating this defense line is a matter of ease. The key lies in how to find that human Evolver with the treasure bow. As Yuan Cang’s words fell. In a quiet chamber within the Earth Defense Line, Wu the Taoist, with a troubled expression, looked at the rolling demon clouds, finally sighed in his heart, and reluctantly stepped forward to meet the challenge. After all, he couldn’t just turn around and run in fear. After all, he was also a Tri-Floral Realm expert, possessing both temperament and dignity. Moreover, Taiyi was still on the defense line. No matter what, he had to contribute his strength. Instantly, he transformed into a five-colored light that shot up into the sky. Just the moment he appeared, much of the demon cloud dissipated, and streaks of five-colored luminosity reflected the heavens, while he trod upon the rainbow light, draped in clouds, holding an ancient copper bell, appearing above the defense line. The copper bell in Wu the Taoist’s hand was called the Five-Colored Divine Bell, specially crafted for him by Tu Daoist Tang Yi. However, due to the rushed crafting process and limited materials, it was merely a low-grade Dao Artifact. At this moment, a five-colored spirit snake coiled around the Five-Colored Copper Bell, the Artifact Spirit of the Five-Colored Divine Bell. Perhaps sensing the imminent fierce battle, the five-colored spirit snake, transformed from the Artifact Spirit, was flicking its tongue, shaking the copper bell, ready to fight for its life at any moment. "Wu Yong, just you? Where’s the other one, is he badly injured or dead?" Yuan Cang stared at him, speaking straightforwardly. Seeing the five Great Demons before him, Wu the Taoist felt his heart sink. If these five Great Demons attacked together, he would surely die today. However, at this moment. Another corner of the defense line saw a dazzling burst of nature’s spiritual energy soar into the sky. Soon, a middle-aged Daoist, wearing an Eight Diagrams Purple Cloud Robe, appeared in view, arriving quickly to stand alongside Wu the Taoist. This middle-aged Daoist was none other than Feiyunzi, who crossed over from the End of Dharma Cultivation World, known in this world as Li Yun. Feiyunzi was a Tri-Floral Realm expert not born of a major sect. Previously a Loose Cultivator, reaching this point, and returning to prominence on Earth, he has undergone countless hardships. With indomitable confidence and impressive cultivation talent, unfortunately, his foundation was slightly weak, and his strength wasn’t even equal to Wu the Taoist, hence he got injured during the battle with the Great Demons. Although he had mostly recovered by now, today, facing five Great Demons, his aura was still unwavering. "To disappoint Yuan Cang Great Demon, I’m still alive, not dead." Feiyunzi spoke calmly, his Eight Diagrams Purple Cloud Robe shimmering with Divine Light, appearing extraordinary. This too was a low-grade Dao Artifact crafted by Tu Daoist Tang Jun, knowing Feiyunzi’s combat power wasn’t strong, he made a defensive Dao Artifact for him. It was due to this that Feiyunzi survived, otherwise, he would have been killed by the Great Demon last time. "Even after taking a hit like that, you Earth Evolvers sure have tenacious lives," Yuan Cang laughed coldly, "But today, you won’t be so lucky. I will definitely kill you today." "If Yuan Cang Great Demon can achieve that, then feel free to try." Feiyunzi replied coldly, secretly sending a transmission: "Wu the Taoist, with the five Great Demons united, we can’t win. We must have the Immortal come forth to drive them back." "Immortal Xuan Yuezi has Three Flowers Fully Open, is a strong practitioner of the Seven Immortals line of the Heavenly Dao Sect, mastering Cloud Riding and the Dragon-subduing and Tiger-subduing Skill. Coupled with the superior-grade Dao Artifact, the Heavenly Dao Seal, it can definitely slay the Great Demon." "If we don’t hold off these five Great Demons, it’ll endanger Taiyi on the other side of the defense line." Wu the Taoist responded immediately: "The old Daoist understands. As soon as I sensed the demon’s aura, I notified the Immortal. However, as the Immortal is in seclusion stabilizing her cultivation, I’m unsure if she can arrive in time. Besides her, I’ve also messaged that baldy and prepared for Nun Liu in Tianchang City." "The only plan now is for the two of us to join forces to stall these five Great Demons and buy time. If the Immortal cannot arrive in time, we can only perish here." He knew that since they had shown themselves, fleeing was not an option. If they ran, not only would they offend Taiyi, to be accounted for in the future, but they would also be hunted by the Great Demons, ending up as outcasts. Thus, when Wu the Taoist and Feiyunzi appeared together, everyone understood clearly. They could only stand firm to the end, holding on until Immortal Xuan Yuezi could provide reinforcement.
