I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1323: 805: Outside Demon Suppression City, Demonic Might Surges (2)
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
Despite the multiple layers of the Array Formation Light Screen, the frightening aura of those Demon Lords beyond it still reached him.
At his present cultivation stage, such beings were far beyond anything he could challenge.
Should they strike, even backed by the city's protective array, he doubted he could endure more than ten breaths.
“What in the world is going on? Why has the Demon Clan attacked out of nowhere like this?”
Confusion overwhelmed Yang Lei Zheng.
For years, he had remained in closed-door cultivation, attempting to surpass the Five Tribulations of Primordial Spirit.
His awareness of external events was quite limited.
Thus, he failed to grasp why the Demon Clan had unleashed a full-scale assault, dragging in three Demon Venerable-tier demons right away.
This move screamed total war against the Human Race. Weren't they worried about the Holy Alliance striking back?
And the Holy Alliance itself? The plea for aid had gone out ages ago—where were the reinforcements? Had trouble struck Heavenly Saint Peak?
These bizarre developments left Yang Lei Zheng growing more anxious by the moment.
“Hmph! Foolish and courting death!”
When his demonic voice proved ineffective, the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable let out a cold huff.
His eyes locked onto Yang Lei Zheng.
He understood that as long as this man stood firm, Demon Suppression City wouldn't surrender easily.
Fine, then—he'd put in some work to show these puny humans the true terror of the Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable.
At once, he addressed the two fellow Demon Lords at his side: “You two, help me pin down the formation. Watch as I shatter this so-called Demon Suppression City!”
“Yes.”
Despite the harsh edge in Silent Annihilation's directive, the pair had no option but to obey.
They were bound by circumstance; Silent Annihilation had been handpicked by Yuan Yi Demon Venerable to lead the charge.
This Silent Annihilation had hit the jackpot early on. Right after entering the Primordial Spirit Realm, he'd wandered into an Ancient Cave Mansion and lucked out with two supreme Demon Artifacts.
Even better, he'd forged one of those elite Demon Artifacts into his own Lifebound Demon Artifact.
Building on those two prime Demon Artifacts, Silent Annihilation's cultivation surged ahead in secret.
By the point other Demon Lords took notice, he'd already conquered five Demon Tribulations, rising to Five Tribulation Demon Venerable status.
That Lifebound supreme Demon Artifact had merged fully with him, boosting his prospects immensely.
This caught the eye of Yuan Yi Demon Venerable, who saw vast potential in him and barred others from claiming his treasures.
So, even though his realm lagged slightly behind theirs, the raw force of his supreme Demon Artifact put him on their level.
Added to Yuan Yi Demon Venerable's command, the two Demon Lords swallowed any grudges they harbored.
If not, why would they yield the Qi-Blood from all the human cultivators inside to him for that initial taste?
Having issued his instructions, Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable fixed his stare on the Demon Suppression City beneath.
Within the horde of Demon Clan members trailing him, one silhouette watched Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable with wild, worshipful eyes.
Should Lu Qing be present, he'd identify that silhouette as Cang Jue, offspring of a Demon Lord he'd previously eliminated.
At this point, Cang Jue radiated a formidable presence.
Evidently, thanks to his elite lineage over the years, he'd not just come back to life but exceeded his old strength, entering the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Gazing at his father's imposing form, Cang Jue's eyes burned with zealous reverence.
Arrogant though he was, the one figure he revered above all in life was his father.
Witnessing his father spearhead the demons against the Human Race's premier stronghold now thrilled him to the core.
He could barely contain his urge to charge inside once his father cracked Demon Suppression City open for a proper feast.
For the Demon Clan, the vital essence blood of Human Clan Cultivators ranked as the finest treat imaginable.
Post this clash, he was certain another breakthrough awaited, propelling him further!
“They're attacking!”
The chilling stare from Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable jolted Yang Lei Zheng, who refused to let his guard slip.
He bellowed right away, “All of you, power up the array against the demons!”
The remaining cultivators, upon hearing the call, wasted no time; they poured their full Mana and Spiritual Power into the city's defenses.
Suddenly, the protective Array Formation Light Screens enveloping Demon Suppression City flared with intense light, surging in strength.
This sight sent a chill through the hearts of the other two Demon Lords.
Demon Suppression City was indeed the mighty bastion the Human Race had forged across countless millennia.
Its embedded arrays were peerless in craftsmanship.
With just one flawless Four Tribulations of Primordial Spirit expert, plus a dozen regular Primordial Spirit Realm folks and lesser cultivators, such formidable might emerged.
Even they might struggle to pierce it without committing fully.
Yet, once the surprise faded, a flicker of malicious glee appeared in the two Demon Lords' eyes.
The array's resilience in Demon Suppression City outstripped what they'd anticipated.
Should Silent Annihilation fail to overcome it, he'd face deep humiliation.
How then could he maintain his vanguard prestige!
“Futile struggle!”
Cold fury sharpened in Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable's gaze at the sight.
He recognized this fight's vital role in cementing his dominance.
Securing Demon Suppression City flawlessly would bind the trailing Demon Clan to his will at last.
Without pause, he willed it forth. A dark Bone Claw burst out, swelling a thousand times in a flash, nearly swallowing the whole city.
A colossal wave of Demonic Qi exploded, darkening the heavens, and crashed toward the Array Formation Light Screens shielding Demon Suppression City.
Boom!
The impact rocked the world; the black Bone Claw's unleashed force defied comprehension.
Though Demon Suppression City's City Protection Array stood as a monumental achievement, meticulously crafted over eons by Human Race Array Masters.
With the City Lord slain, no powerhouse beyond Five Tribulations remained to command the array.
Hence, even as Yang Lei Zheng and the horde of cultivators funneled every ounce into powering it,
They could merely witness in horror as the Array Formation Light Screens cracked layer after layer.
Ultimately, every Light Screen layer crumbled, laying bare all of Demon Suppression City to the airborne demons' view.
“It's finished!”
Yang Lei Zheng, his aura now faint, stared at the devastation in total hopelessness.
Though shielded somewhat by the array, his forward position had exposed him to the Bone Claw's devastating force, leaving him gravely wounded.
The sole silver lining was that, after tearing through the array layers, the Bone Claw's dread power appeared spent.
It gradually contracted and retreated to its owner's grasp.
Still, Yang Lei Zheng realized fending off this single blow changed nothing.
The follow-up assaults would overwhelm them.
“Roar!”
In stark contrast to the Human Clan Cultivators' gloom, the skyborne demons bellowed in triumphant howls as Demon Suppression City's City Protection Array fell.
“Is that among the supreme Demon Artifacts under Silent Annihilation's command?”
The pair of Demon Lords stood stunned in that instant, their astonishment plain to see.
They regarded Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable with eyes brimming with dread and envy.
The dread stemmed from how Silent Annihilation's displayed power in that blow now genuinely endangered them.
The envy arose from the supreme Demon Artifacts' horror, granting this realm-inferior foe the means to imperil their existences.
Crucially, this was merely one such supreme Demon Artifact of his.
Another, far more dreadful Lifebound supreme Demon Artifact lay unused still.
“How did this fellow get such incredible fortune!”
Jealousy consumed the two Demon Lords as they eyed the triumphant Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable, yearning to rip away his every Magical Treasure on the spot.
“Hahahahaha…”
Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable ignored the jealous stares from the two Demon Lords in his wake, reveling in the rush of demolishing the city.
He called back the Bone Claw; with the City Protection Array in ruins, the leftover human pests inside posed no danger—merely future feasts.
Eyes on the tottering Yang Lei Zheng, Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable shaped a hand from Demonic Qi to seize him.
A Perfect Four Tribulations of Primordial Spirit Human made for a worthy morsel, fit for his palate.
As the demonic hand drew near, Yang Lei Zheng could only display utter despair.
Badly hurt, escape was impossible for him,
And he watched powerless as the demonic hand inched ever closer.
