Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era
Chapter 635 - 299: Encirclement
The Domain of the Outer Realm Demon isolates all of Peng City!
The words of Jiang Lingfu made Chu Xiu’s face extremely grim, and a thought he was unwilling to accept but could not avoid involuntarily arose in his mind.
"Is the Outer Realm Demon doing this to completely destroy Peng City, to turn this place into a Death Realm?"
Jiang Lingfu’s reply shattered his last bit of luck.
"Your guess is correct. The Black Death Realm is the Outer Realm Demon’s Domain, but every time it’s unleashed, it exacts a huge price. It usually only appears when the Outer Realm Demon conquers or destroys a civilization."
"Besides isolation, it can also merge the space inside the Black Death Prison with the Outer Realm Demon’s world."
"You should know that after the Abyss invasion, Blue Star expanded greatly, right? This is due to merging with the world fragments in the Abyss; the arrival of the Outer Realm Demon follows a similar principle."
"Once the fusion is completely finished, the Outer Realm Demon can summon its billions of troops and completely transform Peng City into another world!"
"The world in which the Outer Realm Demons live is filled with Death Qi, which they’ve adapted to and can absorb and convert into their own Energy, but to Ordinary people, it’s a deadly poison!"
Billions of troops! A Death Qi Domain!
Either of these terms made Chu Xiu’s scalp tingle. He looked up, and at this moment, more than a hundred thousand Horned Demons had already poured out from the Abyssal Rift, each wearing sharp armor, just like a hundred thousand Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals!
Among them, the weakest were General Tier, and King Tier elites were everywhere! And each leader issued a General Order, being Heroic Spirits!
This terrifying Power was merely the vanguard?
This even made Chu Xiu’s heart rise with a feeling of despair.
"What should we do? Can Peng City’s Defense withstand such a terrifying army..." Jiang Miaoyin’s trembling voice echoed.
Jiang Lingfu’s face was solemn, after a long time, he slowly spoke: "This time, the emergence of Law Fragments has attracted many experts. Theoretically, there should be eleven Demigod experts who have come, and nearly two hundred Heroic Spirits, but the prerequisite is... none of them escaped during the current Cataclysm."
Eleven Demigods, two hundred Heroic Spirits!
If there was such a strong force, maybe the situation would have some turn.
"What about those who reported their position to the government?" Chu Xiu continued to ask.
Jiang Lingfu shook his head with a bitter smile: "Less than half."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu’s bit of hope that had just risen was extinguished again.
Less than half of the force, and besides the Horned Demons in the sky, within the city, there was also Extreme Dao lurking.
Looking at the government side, they not only had to resist the Outer Realm Demon but also protect the millions of citizens. Without support from the Outer World, Chu Xiu saw no possibility of victory.
But he was still somewhat unwilling and said, "Brother Jiang, is there really no way to escape?"
Jiang Lingfu replied with a bitter smile: "Our understanding of the Black Death Realm is shallow; we only found this phrase on a planet of dying civilization: ’Black fog descends, sealed city for three years, when the fog disperses, the earth turns into a Death Realm, non-living creatures emerge, and the moment of civilization’s end arrives.’"
"Sealed city for three years, civilization ends..."
Chu Xiu looked up and indeed found that the Demons were not in a hurry to attack, but were spreading toward the peripheral borders like a well-trained army, and when they reached the edge, they actually began manipulating the black fog to build defensive structures like city walls!
This deepened Chu Xiu’s desperation, the opponent held absolute dominance, yet remained unhurried, giving no chance to anyone in the city, intending to trap them all until death!
Chu Xiu dared not imagine, if Peng City were locked down for three years, lacking Outer World food supply, it would become a form of human Purgatory!
By then, there would be no need for the Horned Demons to act, Peng City would collapse on its own!
At this moment, a phrase suddenly surfaced in Chu Xiu’s mind:
"Ten should encircle, five should attack, twice should battle."
"So, from their perspective, their troop strength is at least ten times ours..." Chu Xiu couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
"Maybe even more than ten times," Jiang Lingfu looked at the sky and murmured, "Once the Death Realm is fully formed, the Outer Realm Demon’s true form can descend, without a Celestial King, there’s no way to counter such terrifying beings."
Hearing this, Chu Xiu finally understood why Jiang Miaoyin was so afraid earlier, and the last bit of luck in Chu Xiu’s heart was also extinguished.
Those Upper Position beings of the Outer Realm Demon, perhaps even one finger could crush him.
At this moment, only bitterness was left in his heart.
Such is the true disaster; it comes without prelude, without warning, at the moment when you believe you have enough Power to control your fate, it descends suddenly and with overwhelming force, destroys all your pride, making you acutely aware of your own insignificance and fragility.
Before coming, Chu Xiu absolutely did not expect to encounter such an event, and even foolishly brought his parents over.
Seeing Chu Xiu’s dim expression, Jiang Lingfu first recovered from his depression, thinking that Chu Xiu was regretting not escaping in time, he opened his mouth to comfort: "Brother Qin, don’t dwell on it, actually even if you had initiated escape just now, you wouldn’t have had a chance to get out."
"We are too close to the Forbidden Objects; this was where the Black Death Prison initially formed, by the time we realized the Black Death Prison appeared, it was already too late."
