Chapter 915: The Gap Is Just That Big!
First, the range.
The Five Gods Imprisoning Heaven Formation directly enveloped the entire Lemorris Fortress!
You have to understand, this is a massive fortress!
Its surface area is unimaginably vast!
Yet even so, the Five Gods Imprisoning Heaven Formation still managed to cover it perfectly.
Next is the sturdiness of the formation's barrier.
Even a level 190 Demon Lord couldn't break through it by force; even using skills, he probably couldn't destroy it in a short amount of time.
This is truly a terrifying matter.
After all, that's a Demon Lord!
A formation capable of imprisoning a Demon Lord is extremely rare in the entire world!
Furthermore...
All the other formations that can imprison a Demon Lord—don't they require at least a hundred level-190 or above Archmages to jointly cast and maintain?
Yet this Five Gods Imprisoning Heaven Formation...
Ling Zhan and his five contracted divine beasts can cast it effortlessly anytime, anywhere.
Convenient and efficient.
Finally...
This Five Gods Imprisoning Heaven Formation can even attack enemies both inside and outside the formation.
Not to mention anything else...
Now around the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord, five terrifying divine beast powers have already gathered!
Power of the Azure Dragon!
Power of the Bifang!
Power of the Jade Rabbit!
Power of the Golden Crow!
Power of Darkness!
Covered from all directions!
The moment Ling Zhan wills it, these five terrifying divine beast powers will mercilessly bombard the enemy!
"Aahh!!"
"Help!!"
At this moment.
The Demon Emperors and Demon Generals on the ground were already tasting the terror of this formation.
While fleeing, they were carelessly hit by the divine beast power, losing a life instantly—in just a few seconds!
When their second, third, fourth lives... revived, the divine beast power had already engulfed them, detonating instantly, causing the just-resurrected Demon Emperors and Generals to not survive even three seconds!
Terrifying!
This formation is truly too terrifying!
Those Demon-Slaying Legion members who were about to pursue the Demon Emperors and Generals could only watch helplessly as their targets were obliterated by the bombardment of the Five Gods Imprisoning Heaven Formation.
"This..."
"What an absurd formation!"
"What the hell? Just one attack from a divine beast power equals the power of an SS-rank skill!?"
"Damn! Instructor Ling actually had such a trump card!"
"A rough estimate puts this formation at SS+ grade! Otherwise it couldn't be this absurd!"
"Huh? SS+? This..."
It'd be a lie to say the Demon-Slaying Legion members weren't shocked!
David, Archie, Moldes and the others couldn't even utter a word, their faces blank as they witnessed all this!
Turns out...
This Instructor Ling had already planned every step when attacking Lemorris Fortress.
He even anticipated every move of the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord!
This mind-reading strategic ability truly makes one's scalp tingle!
"No way..."
"The gap is too big. We'll never surpass this monster in our lifetime..."
Bazel said with a face full of despair.
After all, they had been hailed as prodigies for many years.
They had been praised and admired by many in the Demon Realm.
So each of them believed they were at least extraordinary.
Though Ling Zhan was currently crushing them, they believed they could catch up and surpass him.
But now, after witnessing the power, strategic mind, and countless incredible methods of this non-specialist...
They had no choice but to admit one thing...
To surpass Ling Zhan was pure delusion!
Only in dreams could they fantasize about it!
With the current situation, forget surpassing—if they faced Ling Zhan carelessly even for a moment, they'd likely die on the spot!
The gap is just that big!
"Alright, given the current situation, don't even think about the next life—maybe not even the one after that."
"Stop overthinking. Just focus on yourself."
"After all, in this world, there's no strongest—only stronger."
Ye Qingling softly comforted her teammates.
Moldes gave a bitter smile, looked at Ye Qingling, and said, "You Taoists sure are open-minded, letting things be—but it's not that simple..."
"For people like us, who endlessly pursue strength, Instructor Ling is like a towering mountain pressing down on us—it's unbearable."
Moldes' words made the Demon-Slaying Legion members nod in agreement.
Previous instructors...
Though stronger than them, at least they could see hope of surpassing them.
But this Instructor Ling...
Hah!
If they could have even a tenth of his strength, they should light incense in gratitude.
"Alright, alright, we've already taken Lemorris Fortress, yet you still look like a bunch of half-dead idiots—cut it out."
"Next, fully take over Lemorris Fortress! Contact General Li Xuerou at Moore Fortress and have her report to those old guys at the Holy Assembly, tell them all the national legions can move in!"
David said with a smile.
The beginning is always the hardest.
Now that the beginning is done successfully...
Everything else will be easier.
Humanity has finally taken this first key fortress.
From now on...
This will be the frontline supply base for all nations.
What had always troubled the national legions was the lack of a defensible stronghold.
Lemorris Fortress can now serve as a transit hub for the legions of all nations—they can now confidently take on the remaining twenty-nine fortresses!
Even if they fail later, it won't matter!
Because Lemorris Fortress has already become a crucial stronghold for all legions!
As long as this place is defended, the national legions can go all-out from here!
So the significance of this victory is immense.
"Even more importantly..."
"Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord will likely be slain by Instructor Ling!"
Yes.
This is also a huge matter that can't be ignored!
The fall of a Demon Lord is akin to humanity losing a world-class powerhouse.
Though Demon Soldiers and Generals are abundant...
Top-tier forces like Demon Emperors and Demon Lords are extremely scarce.
Otherwise, the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord wouldn't have been stationed here for so many years.
If the Demon Clan had many Demon Lords, they wouldn't station only one at each fortress.
So if the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord falls, the loss to the Demon Clan is enormous.
At this moment.
High in the sky.
The Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord swallowed a mouthful of saliva, eyes dark, not daring to move.
One minute remained before his mana recovered enough to fight.
He had to hold on for this one minute.
As long as he did, he could unleash a killing move and shatter the Five Gods Imprisoning Heaven Formation, escaping!
Then he could flee to another fortress for help!
Most importantly...
He could also warn the other fortresses, alerting the other Demon Lords and prompting them to unite!
But he couldn't...
From the very start, Ling Zhan had silently and thoroughly encircled Lemorris Fortress with his army, and even cut off the spatial information transmission channels—so now, news of Lemorris Fortress's fall hadn't even reached the other fortresses.
