Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 379 - 217 Battle erupts, the saints descend! (6500 words)_4

Such examples have been all too common.

Countless young prodigies with bright futures were slain by the Demon Race, a truly lamentable fate.

"Senior, rest assured!" Wang Xiu responded with a cupped fist salute.

RUMBLE!

With the strategy decided, the Saint of Yuheng Cave Heaven took action. He maneuvered the Other Shore Ark through the void, returning to the skies above Vermilion Bird City. Afterward, the Saints tore through the void and departed for the overseas battlefield.

Only Wang Xiu and the other young prodigies remained in the sky. They instinctively looked down, surveying the situation within the city.

"Kill!"

The cries of battle shook the heavens as fierce fighting raged everywhere.

Crimson, dandelion-like figures drifted down from the sky one after another. Some were intercepted by Vermilion Bird City’s formation and blasted out of the void, while others scattered about, taking root upon landing and transforming into spatial portals.

Those were the Nether Demons!

Large numbers of elite Demon Race warriors used them to bypass the city’s defenses and pour directly inside. The enemy was everywhere, and the flames of war spread across the land.

Countless cultivators fought ferociously with the Demon Race, their eyes bloodshot. The entire Vermilion Bird City was a boiling cauldron of conflict, with battles raging in every direction.

ROAR—

A lion with dragon horns landed in the city. Its eyes were blood-red, its body was covered with Demon Patterns, and it towered like a mountain, shaking the very earth. A mere shudder from its frame unleashed a vast, malevolent aura.

It was a Dragon-horned Lion. Not originally of the Demon Race, it had been corrupted by Demonic Qi and transformed into a Foreign Demon. It had lost its mind and knew only slaughter, making it one of the Demon Race’s most useful weapons.

Wang Xiu had learned from Guba that the number of actual Demon Race members was not large; pure-blooded ones were especially rare. Pure-blooded demons were exceptionally gifted. As long as their bloodline was potent enough, they could match the top experts of the Human Race upon reaching adulthood.

Further up the hierarchy were the True Demons. They possessed a regressed, ancestral bloodline and a trace of transcendence. They were extremely rare even within the Demon Race and were capable of growing into Demon Emperors. Some were born as True Demons, while others achieved it later in life through ancestral bloodline regression.

The strongest bloodline belonged to the Heavenly Demons. Their lineage was ancient and powerful, making them the true rulers of the Demon Realm, commanding heaven and earth. Every Ancient Clan possessing the Heavenly Demon Bloodline could trace its origins to a supreme Demon Race expert whose power could overshadow an entire era.

Foreign Demons occupied the bottom of the pecking order and were the most numerous. However, they were not weak. They fought with reckless abandon, making them extremely useful.

Just like now, the majority of combatants in the conflagration engulfing the city were Foreign Demons of various races. Wang Xiu even spotted Human Demons among them. They were cruel and vicious. Having been sealed for countless years, their savagery was now completely unleashed.

Compared to the demonic hordes, the city’s cultivators were too few, and they lacked enough powerful experts. They were constantly at a disadvantage, suffering countless casualties. Outmatched in numbers and sheer brutality, their situation was incredibly dire.

"Brother..." a human girl cried out, her voice filled with heartbreak.

In the distance, a youth in black roared while battling a house-sized demonic insect. His eyes were bloodshot, but the disparity in strength was too great. He was on the verge of being swallowed whole.

WHOOSH!

Just then, a beam of sword light descended from the sky, pinning the demonic insect to a distant city wall and killing it instantly.

"Let’s move!" Wang Xiu no longer hesitated and gave the order.

In that instant, over ten thousand young prodigies descended from the sky. They were radiant with light, like a meteor shower illuminating the entire Vermilion Bird City.

...

「Meanwhile, outside Demon Sea Island.」

Demonic Qi was everywhere, transforming into a vast ocean. Ferocious giant demons thrashed within it, spewing world-destroying Demonic Light from their mouths. Thousands of terrifying hurricanes formed on the sea’s surface, colliding constantly as if trying to tear heaven and earth asunder. Figures exuding powerful auras stood above the Nine Heavens. They were shrouded in divine light, with laws entwining around them like orbiting stars, a dazzling sight to behold.

However, their opponents were just as formidable.

A jet-black Ancient Demon spread its wings like a colossal dragon, eclipsing the sun. With a casual flap, mountains thousands of miles away collapsed into dust. Unimaginable waves roiled the sea and volcanoes erupted, plunging the world into darkness.

From the depths of the sea, an immense Shadow Fiend slowly emerged. It possessed thousands upon thousands of densely packed tentacles, each as thick as a mountain. A casual sweep could shatter the void.

The battle was incredibly fierce, but the greatest danger did not lie here.

Far in the distance, a rift had been torn open in a heavily restricted Tian Yuan, spewing dreadful Demonic Qi that blotted out the light of the sky. A terrifying aura emanated from within, one that was enough to make even a Saint’s scalp tingle. A True Demon was rampaging inside, trying to tear the fissure wider and reemerge in the mortal world.

At the highest point of the Firmament, immortal light descended, transforming into one ancient treasure after another. They radiated divine splendor, suppressing the Demonic Qi. But it had little effect, as the rift continued to widen.

"Damn it... If this goes on, we won’t be able to hold it back!"

BOOM!

The sea trembled as a towering Mecha Giant rose from the waves. It emanated a terrifying brilliance, and Luo Binglan’s irate voice echoed from within.

Just then, everyone sensed something and looked toward the horizon.

An immense wave of Saintly Radiance descended from the void, illuminating the sea and dispelling the Demonic Qi. Endless laws entwined within it, making it seem as if gods were descending.

"This is..." All the experts were shocked, their eyes wide open.

The full might of every Immortal Sect was nearly gathered here; how could such a multitude of powerful experts suddenly appear?

A single glance revealed a vast contingent of several hundred figures. Could they... all be Saints?
