The protective array shattered, and the city came under siege by demon beasts. Cloud Sea, desperate to protect the city, consumed numerous elixirs and provoked the Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King into swallowing him. Inside the beast, Cloud Sea initiated his Golden Core Thunder Tribulation, forcing the Tiger Demon King to plummet back into the city.

At this moment, the battle at the city wall was at its most intense, with cultivators and the demon clan fighting fiercely. A large number of puppets also joined the battlefield, and both inside and outside the city wall turned into a bloody battlefield. The cultivators had no time to care about the sudden appearance of the tribulation thunder.

The smell of scorched earth accompanied the shockwaves spreading, as the Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King leapt from a pit over a dozen feet deep, roaring angrily at the tribulation clouds above.

Roar~~

The tiger’s roar shook the heavens, and its furious emotions dominated all, yet the tribulation clouds remained unmoved, slowly accumulating power. Thunder snakes traversed the clouds, converging towards the central position, nurturing a more terrifying tribulation thunder.

The Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King looked at the gathering tribulation thunder, and a trace of fear appeared in its enormous pupils.

The first three layers of the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation are Body Tempering Thunder Tribulations, mainly targeting the physical body, while the middle three layers are Magic Power Thunder Tribulations, containing extremely terrifying spiritual power.

These six layers of thunder tribulations didn’t scare it much. Despite its current sorry state, the lightning tribulation just now hadn’t caused it much harm.

What it truly feared was the thunder tribulations beyond the seventh layer. Even as a Demon King, it couldn’t guarantee surviving the complete Nine-layered Thunder Tribulation unprepared.

Crack~~

Another pale lightning column fell, and the entire Immortal City shook violently once again.

The Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King lay miserably in the giant pit, its entire body scorched. Its protective rock armor fell off like eggshells.

In the Ten Thousand Treasures Store, Yang Zhenshan floated in mid-air, looking towards the direction where the tribulation thunder condensed, involuntarily inhaling a cool breath.

Is this only the second layer of tribulation thunder?

Are tribulation thunders so terrifying?

To be honest, the shocks he suffered today were too many, too great.

First, two Demon Kings appeared, then the Third-tier Array battled two Demon Kings, and now came a core formation thunder tribulation.

Feeling the power wielded by the tribulation thunder, Yang Zhenshan felt somewhat desperate.

Can he withstand such tribulation thunder in the future?

Even the Demon King was scorched all over, can someone like him, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, really endure it?

No wonder many peak Foundation Establishment cultivators don’t dare to easily challenge the core formation thunder tribulation!

Just as Yang Zhenshan felt chilled by the terror of the core formation thunder tribulation, the tribulation clouds in the sky suddenly began to dissipate.

Dissipating without warning, the rampaging thunder snakes also disappeared.

He stared at this scene in astonishment.

"What’s going on?"

"Cloud Sea is dead!"

"Yes, Cloud Sea was merely forcefully attempting core formation, and his state just now was estimated to be at the end of his strength, holding on for a moment was already not easy!"

Yang Zhenshan quickly understood the reason behind this.

The retreat of the tribulation thunder meant the total collapse of the battle for White Cloud Immortal City had begun.

Yang Zhenshan hesitated for a moment, then looked towards the direction where Mo Hai and others were.

He could easily retreat now, but leaving at this moment seemed a bit of a waste; he still wanted to see the direction the battle would take.

After considering for a while, he decided to wait and see first. After all, he could leave easily, provided he didn’t draw too much attention.

"Big cat, are you okay?"

The Golden-winged Eagle Demon King saw the tribulation clouds dispersing and returned, asking the Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King.

"I’ve told you many times, I’m a tiger, not a cat!"

The Earth-shaking Tiger looked extremely battered, with no intact spot on its body, but its voice was full of vigor, even a little bit excited.

Since the tribulation thunder didn’t extend to the latter three layers, its uneasy heart instantly calmed down.

"Haha~~ Since it’s nothing, let’s rise quickly, next it’s our turn to show great prowess!"

"Kill these cultivators and take their resources, hahaha~~"

The Golden-winged Eagle Demon King laughed sharply.

"Don’t forget, inside the city there are the Ten Thousand Treasures Store and the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!" The Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King flew into the air again, stable and unaffected by the recent tribulation thunder.

"What’s there to be afraid of, do they dare to strike against us? Why not find trouble with them, they should be grateful?"

The Golden-winged Eagle Demon King shook its golden head, speaking indifferently.

The Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King looked around, saw that its demon clan army hadn’t breached the city wall yet, and said, "I’ll go help the children break through the city wall first, you clear the cultivators inside the city!"

"Alright!"

The Golden-winged Eagle Demon King responded and then assembled its demon birds, beginning a massacre inside the city.

Perhaps to prevent interference from the Ten Thousand Treasures Store or maybe to flaunt power to the Ten Thousand Treasures Store, it specifically focused around the store.

In the Ten Thousand Treasures Store, Mo Hai and Lady Ziteng exchanged glances as they looked at its gleaming golden wings.

"These demon beasts really don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!" Mo Hai said coldly.

"Since it has delivered itself here, let’s capture and kill it! Delaying isn’t a good thing!" Lady Ziteng said.

Mo Hai nodded slightly, "Then let’s begin!"

Lady Ziteng turned and bowed towards the direction of the treasury, "Daoist friend Situ, this old one respectfully requests the Millennium Green Vine!"

As her words fell, an aged voice immediately echoed from the treasury.

"Granted!"

The next moment, a vine bracelet, entwined with a faint cyan mist, floated out from the treasury. The surface of the vine was covered with intricate runes, and every leaf shimmered with emerald-like spiritual light.

As the small bracelet flew out, it instantly expanded, transforming into a massive green vine. One end of the vine was rooted into the ground, while the other swayed in the air.

"I humbly request the Green Vine to capture the demon!"

Lady Ziteng held a spell in one hand and raised the Purple Vine Staff with the other, pointing towards the Golden-winged Eagle Demon King outside the Ten Thousand Treasures Store.

The swaying green vine seemed to receive a command, and in the next instant, it expanded towards the Golden-winged Eagle Demon King.

Its speed was as fast as lightning.

The Golden-winged Eagle Demon King, originally causing havoc, suddenly sensed imminent danger and flew skyward without hesitation.

Its speed, considered fast among demon kings, lacked flying divine skills, yet as a bird, its speed far surpassed that of other beast demon kings.

However, the green vine’s speed was even faster.

The three-foot-thick vine instantly latched onto its wings, then grew numerous arm-thick vines, wrapping it tightly like a dumpling.

"Caw~~~"

The Golden-winged Eagle let out a cry, terrifying demonic power surging as its golden feathers turned into sharp blades, trying to cut through the vines binding it.

It kept swinging its claws, indomitable claws and blades cutting the vines apart.

But the vines grew too quickly. As soon as it severed one, a dozen more would climb onto it once again.

In the blink of an eye, countless vines transformed into a cage, trapping it firmly inside. No matter how it struggled or destroyed, it couldn’t completely break free from the vine’s bindings.

"Big Cat, save me!"

It issued a desperate plea for help.

The vine cage grew larger, releasing a faint purple mist, which stained its wings with a hue of purple-red.

The Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King heard its cry for help and quickly looked over.

Upon seeing the situation clearly, it was taken aback.

"Ten Thousand Treasures Store, you dare attack me, aren’t you afraid of angering the Demon Court?" the Golden-winged Eagle Demon King roared angrily.

"This is White Cloud Immortal City, not the Wanhua Mountain Range!"

Mo Hai’s figure appeared near the vine cage, speaking calmly.

The Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King flew in, cautiously watching Mo Hai, "We didn’t attack the Ten Thousand Treasures Store!"

"I know, but White Cloud Immortal City is also one of the territories of our Ten Thousand Treasures Store!" Mo Hai looked at it calmly, a small black seal appearing in front of him.

"I humbly request the Green Vine Demon Slayer!" Lady Ziteng waved the vine staff in her hand, her sunken eyes glimmering with a purple light.

"You all!"

The Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King watched the tens of thousands of vines form a barrier, completely submerging the Golden-winged Eagle Demon King within, a flicker of dread passing through its eyes.

If it took action, it might be able to save the Golden-winged Eagle Demon King.

That Millennium Green Vine was a spiritual artifact. Although this artifact could assist the Ten Thousand Treasures Store’s Great Array in capturing a demon king, facing two demon kings, such a method would become inadequate.

It didn’t think the person before it was its match.

Yet it still hesitated, wavered.

It could attack White Cloud Immortal City, but not the Ten Thousand Treasures Store.

The forces behind the Ten Thousand Treasures Store were beyond its capacity to provoke, and even the Demon Court was extremely wary of the powers behind the Ten Thousand Treasures Store.

Was it worth provoking the Ten Thousand Treasures Store for the Golden-winged Eagle Demon King?

If the Demon Court was willing to back it up, it wouldn’t need to fear the Ten Thousand Treasures Store!

But would the Demon Court stand up for it and the Golden-winged Eagle Demon King?

The Earth-shaking Tiger Demon King silently thought to itself, "Golden Feathered Bird, I’m sorry!"
