Chapter 181 181: Artificial Demons
In the Divine Realm, a bustling city known as the city where the Divine Queen lived, stood as a symbol of glory and supremacy.
However, on this fateful day, dark clouds gathered overhead, and an eerie silence fell upon the city. The usually vibrant streets now felt cold, and the grand City stood shrouded in an ominous darkness.
Even the Immortal Guards felt that something was wrong. They didn't know why, but they felt a chilling sensation that they rarely felt before. It was as if their senses were warning them of danger.
They looked around, failing to understand just what this feeling was.
While everyone was looking at the dark sky, they all felt the earth tremble.
It was as if this was an earthquake. Ground split apart all around the Royal City, and from the ground, came the Demonic Beings.
The first demon emerged from the ruined ground. It was unlike anything the Immortal Cultivators had ever encountered before.
Standing over ten feet tall, with razor-sharp claws and crimson eyes, it exuded an aura of malevolence that sent shivers down the bravest cultivators' spines.
For some reason, they also felt a familiar aura from those demons.
Within moments, more demons poured out of the portal, each more terrifying than the last. Within seconds, over a hundred of these monstrous creatures now roamed the streets, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Buildings crumbled under their relentless assault, and the once vibrant cityscape was reduced to ruins.
The Demons killed humans and Cultivators alike, destroying everything in their path, as they rushed toward the barrier of the Core City. To make things difficult for everyone, the Demons were coming from every side, as if they had surrounded the core City.
The way they were killing people indiscriminately, it was clear that they didn't have much intelligence. However, for them to still be so organized, the Immortal Guards felt that there was someone controlling them.
They didn't know if it was a demon or a human. One thing was certain. They had to stop these Demons if they didn't want the City to be destroyed.
Amidst the chaos, Immortal Cultivators rushed to defend their beloved city and perform their duties. Dressed in magnificent robes and wielding powerful artifacts, they displayed their strength. However, even their formidable abilities were barely enough to hold back the onslaught of demons.
In the heart of the battle, Xue Lan, a young cultivator with fierce determination in her eyes, stood her ground against a group of demon brutes.
She channeled her Celestial Energy, a radiant glow enveloping her body, and unleashed a barrage of lightning bolts that danced through the air. Though her attacks were potent, the demons proved relentless, striking back with savage ferocity.
Even her strongest attack didn't leave a single wound on the Demon. The Demon appeared right before her, swinging his giant claws to rip the woman apart.
The Woman flew back, but the Demon moved fast. The woman knew that she couldn't avoid the attack. She brought her hands together to create a temporary shield.
The force of the Demon's strike hit the woman's shield with a thunderous impact. The shield shattered in an instant. The woman simply closed her eyes as soon as the shield crumbled, but at that exact month, she felt a hand on her shoulders.
Someone pulled her back by her shoulder, appeared in front of her.
The Woman fell in the back, stunned. When she came to her senses, she stood up and looked toward the Demon. She could see a man standing before the Demon.
"General Xue!" The woman exclaimed, stunned. The man who had just protected her was the youngest General of the Royal Army. At the young age of thirty, he had become a General in the Royal Army. It was said that even the Queen paid quite a lot of attention to him.
"These things aren't something you can stop! Help others evacuate this area!" The General spoke.
The young woman nodded. Usually, she couldn't even see a man as great as him, but at the moment, the man was standing right before her and commanding him.
She doesn't know why, but with the man's involvement, she felt that these Demons were going to be slaughtered now! She felt safe in Xue's presence.
"Right away!" She exclaimed as she turned around, but at that exact moment, she froze.
"Hu-" she couldn't even make a proper noise before she felt the entire world turn upside down. A claw sliced through her body. Blood splattered everywhere. The woman dropped to the ground, lifelessly.
"You!" General Xue was taken aback. He was barely holding one Demon back, but now another one was here?
"Just my luck," Xue sighed, shaking his head.
With his left hand, he used a Sword to block the claws of the First Demon. At the same time, he brought out another Sword. He used a sword with each hand, willing to face both the Demons together.
Someone had to hold them back since the other Guards were busy fighting other Demons.
He didn't realize that at the moment, not far from him, a person was sitting.
On a distant roof, Xu Shan sat on the roof of the Inn, watching the destruction. He had a glass of wine in his hand, taking small sips as if savoring the taste. He neither felt happy nor sad. It was all a means to an end.
His eyes were focused on General Xue, who was fighting alone.
He expected the Demons created by the Rebel group to be strong, but this had surpassed even his expectations. It was much better than he expected.
"I couldn't have asked for anything better. I must say, they didn't disappoint me," he commented.
"Are you going to get involved?" Xun asked Xu Shan.
The Demons were powerful and with each passing second, they went closer to the barrier of the core City. Moreover, the Warriors of the Core City weren't prepared yet, since the barrier prevented them from feeling the dark aura as well. Thanks to the Barrier, their response was also delayed.
