Suddenly!
"Is this the Demon Race?"
"They look so scary?"
"And quite ugly too."
...
A large wave of cultivators appeared in the arena abruptly.
Including the Four Great Demon Kings, not a single demon or human could clearly see how they appeared!
It was as if...
They materialized out of thin air!
These people wore robes of various styles, some even resembling blankets draped over them.
Their eyes gleamed with intelligent and excited light!
Their bodies were crooked, none standing straight.
Although their expressions varied, they all gave the impression of being a bit slow-witted...
Especially the two leading figures were even more conspicuous.
One had white hair and wore a tattered white robe.
The other wore a black robe, his bald head gleaming intensely.
Strangely, their cultivation levels appeared to be merely at the Qi Refining stage.
Such insignificant existences seemed completely out of place on this battlefield.
And these two were precisely the contestants Ye Fan had seen sparring on the Holy Mountain before.
Of course.
Their sparring was merely a distant, nonsensical exchange of blows.
If one called it playing house, no one would doubt it!
The identities of those behind them also became obvious!
The vast number of spiritual-attribute powerhouses from the Holy Mountain!
Curiously, the Second Elder and Master Xie Yan, these two top-tier seniors, were not present.
Their arrival finally brought a look of 'seriousness' to the Four Great Demon Kings for the first time!
Because they truly hadn't seen how these individuals had appeared!
There were no discernible traces!
Their intuition told them these people were problematic!
And very problematic!
"This fellow seems to be on his last legs." The white-haired cultivator glanced at the surviving Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator, "Hua Feng, take him down for treatment."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
A one-eyed young man emerged from the crowd and walked towards the Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator.
Who would have thought.
This black-robed, white-haired individual was the Sect Master of the Holy Mountain!
Hua Feng flew over nonchalantly, and the demon commanders naturally wouldn't stand for it.
They immediately grabbed their weapons and charged forward!
However, the next moment, Hua Feng mysteriously vanished!
Not dodging quickly, but completely disappearing!
When he reappeared, he was already back with the Holy Mountain contingent!
And in his hand, he was holding the half-dead Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator!
"Sect Master, can we start fighting now?!"
"Yeah, I can't wait!"
"Those demon women look good, no one's taking them from me!"
...
The Holy Mountain contingent shouted boisterously, acting more like bandits than cultivators!
"Everyone, free action!"
The Sect Master's command!
The Holy Mountain contingent, like unleashed wild dogs, charged out in unison!
What happened next completely stunned the hidden cultivators of the Ascension Sect!
Although the cultivators from the Holy Mountain appeared to have varied cultivation levels, their overall cultivation was rather low.
The highest ones seemed to be only at the Nascent Soul stage.
Anyone who managed to reach the Ascension Sect alive had a minimum cultivation of peak Void Comprehending stage.
The Nascent Soul stage was like trash to them.
Yet, these existences they considered trash were now displaying power that severely contradicted their cultivation!
For example, a certain Golden Core stage cultivator from the Holy Mountain.
The spiritual attacks he unleashed had the fluctuation of only the Golden Core stage.
But such an attack managed to instantly kill a Shadow-grade demon!
Shadow-grade demons were equivalent to the Integration stage human cultivators!
Another example, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator from the Holy Mountain didn't even use spiritual attacks!
He simply swung his fist at a demon general!
There were no techniques or skills involved, purely the wild brawling of street thugs.
Yet, such a punch, devoid of skill and power, turned the demon general into a bloody mess!!!
...
The scenes that unfolded completely shattered the worldviews of those ordinary cultivators...
Putting aside the stunned cultivators, these spiritual-attribute powerhouses from the Holy Mountain were having a blast!
Whether it was spiritual attacks or wild punches, a single blow took down large numbers of demons!
It was a given that those hit directly were obliterated, but even the surrounding demons were affected!
This kind of attack with a built-in AoE effect was surprisingly similar to Ye Fan's earlier performance.
The only difference was that their AoE range was clearly not as large as Ye Fan's, usually within a radius of about ten zhang.
Otherwise, the demon casualties would have been even more severe.
But even so.
In just one exchange, tens of thousands of demons were killed!
While it seemed insignificant compared to the total number of tens of millions, it couldn't withstand such relentless attrition.
Demon commanders also participated in the fray.
Although they repelled some of the Holy Mountain cultivators, they caused no substantial damage.
The defensive capabilities of these Holy Mountain cultivators seemed even more monstrous than their offensive power!
For instance, earlier, the combined attack of the three demon commanders could injure a Great Cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage.
But now, the attacks of seven or eight demon commanders fell upon the Holy Mountain cultivators, only managing to tear their clothes!
Their skin, not even a mark was left!
Oh, not entirely.
Take this one, for example.
His clothes were torn, revealing dark skin underneath.
As for why it was dark...
Judging by the smell emanating from that skin, there was every reason to suspect this fellow had never bathed in his life!
Even a terrifying existence like a demon commander felt a bit dazed by the stench...
The attacks of the demon commanders, rather than piercing his skin, seemed to have scraped off the layer of dirt on his body...
And not completely, just the surface of the dirt layer...
Well...
About four or five millimeters, perhaps.
With the black mud on his body scraped off, the cultivator clearly became panicked!
"Damn it, there are always villains trying to harm me!"
The cultivator roared, and his fists flew out in a chaotic barrage!
His movements didn't seem fast, yet these demon commanders were somehow unable to dodge...
"Bang bang bang bang bang—!"
Hit in the chest, these demon commanders were sent flying backward!
Before they even landed, they spat out a large mouthful of blood...
At this point, the Four Great Demon Kings could no longer stand by!
If they allowed these guys to continue their rampage, they would be left with a skeleton crew!
Just as they were about to act, four figures blocked their path!
The white-haired, black-robed Sect Master of the Holy Mountain!
The bald, white-robed cultivator who had been playing house with the Sect Master earlier!
The cultivator who had rammed his head into empty air on the main road!
The cultivator on the rooftop who had been practicing externalization with a spade!
And their identities were no less extraordinary!
Apart from the Sect Master, the remaining three were precisely the top three elders of the Holy Mountain!
Given the peculiar performance of the Holy Mountain contingent earlier, the Four Great Demon Kings now dared not underestimate them!
Even though their cultivation and aura seemed not worthy of being called trash, they still made the Demon Kings take them with unprecedented seriousness.
The demonic energy surged uncontrollably from the Four Great Demon Kings, indicating that their next attacks would be terrifying!
Finally!
The North Demon King raised his right index finger, and a demonic energy sphere, ten zhang in size, appeared before Elder Tie Tou (Iron Head)!
It didn't shoot from his fingertip but simply materialized there!
The power emanating from the demon sphere was also terrifying!
As soon as it appeared, some nearby demons were uncontrollably drawn towards it!
Instantly absorbed into the black sphere, further increasing its energy!
Elder Tie Tou showed no fear!
He tilted his neck and violently headbutted the demon sphere!
"Bang—!"
With a headbutt, he actually pushed the black sphere back!
Although it was his own attack, the North Demon King didn't dare to meet it head-on.
After a flurry of clumsy movements, he managed to dissipate his own attack.
The West Demon King wielded a black whip made from some unknown creature.
Each swing brought forth a vast expanse of terrifying demonic energy!
And wherever this demonic energy passed, small rifts appeared in space!
His opponent was Elder Tie Xiao (Iron Spade)!
"Well done!"
Elder Tie Xiao roared, and the iron spade in his hand struck down fiercely!
Just as the West Demon King was about to counter, his vision blurred!
The next moment, hundreds of figures suddenly appeared all around him!
Each one looked exactly like Elder Tie Xiao, and each held a gleaming iron spade!
External Manifestations!
The bald elder faced the South Demon King.
The South Demon King's weapon was his fists.
Each punch brought forth a massive surge of demonic energy!
Its power was even greater than that of the West and North Demon Kings!
Facing the South Demon King's attack, the bald elder assumed his previous stance.
"Selfless Freedom!"
He once again uttered the name of the technique with extreme chuunibyou flair.
But this time, it was completely different from before!
Surging true qi exploded forth without warning!
Tens of thousands of demons several hundred zhang away were instantly killed by the true qi he unleashed!
And the white-haired Sect Master faced the strongest, the East Demon King!
The East Demon King's attack method was relatively traditional.
Demonic energy condensed into a thick spell, shooting towards the white-haired Sect Master!
"Chaos Limitless!"
With a loud roar, the white-haired Sect Master's body began to vibrate rapidly at a bizarre frequency, creating a flurry of afterimages!
And between the afterimages, vast stretches of lightning flashed!
The lightning churned and surged, vaguely forming five long whips!
Although the process appeared complex, it happened in an instant.
As the East Demon King's spell arrived, the white-haired Sect Master successfully launched a counterattack!
The five lightning whips transformed into swimming dragons, coiling and grappling with the demonic spell!
