Chapter 909: The Climax of the Standoff!
But it wasn't really surprising that the Scarlet Phoenix Demon Lord made such a decision.
The ground battle situation was grim.
The fortress brain required ten top-tier Demon Emperors to guard it.
The remaining Demon Emperors led Demon Generals and Soldiers to defend the four fronts.
However…
The situation was extremely dire.
The Ten Thousand Demons side was retreating step by step.
Mainly because those three divine beasts were too terrifying!
That seemingly adorable little loli suddenly transformed into a massive Azure Dragon that rode the clouds and summoned thunder. With one breath of Azure Thunder Breath, tens of thousands of Demon Soldiers and Generals were instantly wiped out!
Even if they had multiple lives, the lingering thunder element struck them again upon resurrection, killing them a second or third time!
Every area swept by the Azure Dragon's breath left behind a thunder pool.
These thunder pools caused continuous damage and disabled all talents and skills of enemy units inside!
And more terrifyingly…
Boom!!
When this world-ending Azure Dragon waved its massive claws in the skies—
Countless thunderclouds violently formed.
Under its command, towers of thick azure lightning crashed down from the heavens, bombarding all Demon Soldiers, Generals, and even Emperors!
"Rooar!!"
A dragon's roar, filled with divine might, resounded through the skies!
The Azure Dragon hovered in the heavens, coldly gazing down at the fleeing, wailing enemies.
Like a god looking down on ants!
The Demon Soldiers and Generals below swore this was the most nightmarish scene they'd ever witnessed!
The Ten Thousand Demons were intelligent beings after all.
They had emotions and desires.
At this moment—
Fear, despair, cowardice, weeping, and wails…
Echoed across the fortress.
"Screee!!"
But what truly broke them was…
At another front—
A divine bird bathed in blazing divine flames soared into the sky!
The previously darkened sky, shrouded in demonic miasma, now glowed like daylight under this divine fire!
The crimson blaze reflected off every Demon Soldier's and General's face and pupils.
And then—
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With each flap of the divine firebird's wings, countless massive flaming meteors formed in an instant, raining down upon the fortress in a merciless bombardment!
Normally, a single meteor could alter the landscape.
And now there were countless!
The rain of blazing meteors was breathtakingly beautiful—and utterly terrifying to the enemy!
On another front—
The scene turned seemingly peaceful.
A pure white moon slowly rose into the sky.
Its gentle light bathed every Demon Soldier and General.
Thinking they'd finally met an easy opponent, they smiled—until they saw their flesh rapidly wither under the moonlight!
"Ah!! What's happening to my body!?"
"Ugh… I feel my life force draining rapidly! Like it's being extracted!"
"My god! Why is this happening!? I…"
"…"
The Demon Soldiers and Generals soon panicked.
None of them expected that under this seemingly gentle moonlight, they would feel so close to death!
Meanwhile…
The little Golden Crow and little Holy Dragon also revealed their battle forms.
They chased and slaughtered Demon Soldiers without mercy.
Elsewhere, David stared wide-eyed at the battlefield below. He and his squad were stunned!
"This…"
"So overwhelming! Such insane power!"
"This is the first time I've seen those three divine beast girls go all out—and it's terrifying!"
"My god… No wonder they're Instructor Ling's contracted beasts! So young, yet so powerful!"
"…"
Exclamations echoed nonstop.
Each divine beast girl suppressed a separate front.
Step by step, they advanced toward the fortress brain.
David said sternly, "We can't drag them down! Brothers and sisters, let's go! It's time to show what we've got!"
With that command—
"Oooh!!"
The Demon-Slaying Legion roared with fighting spirit!
Like bloodthirsty berserkers, they charged toward the enemy!
Meanwhile, the Demon Emperors guarding the fortress brain and urging the medical teams looked gloomier by the second as the enemy drew closer.
They raised their heads and silently prayed.
"Lord Scarlet Phoenix Demon… everything depends on you now!"
"We can't hold them much longer—maybe ten minutes at most. Lord Demon, please kill that non-specialist and come help us!"
Normally, the Demon Emperors were arrogant and prideful.
But now, after witnessing the terrifying power of those three divine beasts, they were in despair.
Those three divine beasts were clearly no ordinary tier!
How could normal divine beasts wield such terrifying strength?
The Ten Thousand Demons usually outclassed other races of the same tier.
Who'd have thought these three divine beasts were like cheat codes—completely unreasonable!
Their only hope now was that the Scarlet Phoenix Demon Lord could take Ling Zhan's head.
"Hmph! Don't count on it!"
"Your Scarlet Phoenix Demon is still a dead man before my master!"
"Why struggle? I'll give you a chance to self-destruct!"
"Otherwise, I'll rip out each of your souls and toss them into my Eternal Furnace. Then you'll know true hell—forever damned, never reincarnated!"
Yun Man's icy, arrogant voice rang in the ears of every Demon Emperor.
Her tone made it clear—she saw them as ants, easily crushed!
"Hmph! You lowly bird dare act so arrogant?"
"Beat us first if you can!"
Of course, the Demon Emperors wouldn't admit defeat with mere words.
They snorted coldly, feigning defiance at the incoming Bifang divine bird—but their eyes revealed fear and dread.
If they could…
They'd be screaming for the Scarlet Phoenix Demon Lord right now!
While ground forces had reached the height of intensity—
Ten thousand meters in the sky—
Clang!!
The eagle-headed, giant-bodied Scarlet Phoenix Demon Lord drew two one-handed swords!
And as those swords appeared in his hands—
Boom!!
His aura surged dramatically!
