Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 669 - 673: Crisis_1

But the fighting power of the Bone Demon Army was too formidable.

Even though the human soldiers held a numerical advantage and possessed the determination to fight to the death, they were still unable to turn the tide, suffering heavy losses.

In the sky-high demon fog, the soldiers of the Bone Demon Army wielded bone spears. Like slaughter gods emerging from hell, their pupils glowed red, their killing intent raged like a waterfall, ready to butcher the entire world.

Around them, Evil Qi roiled, bodies piled high, their faces twisted in death, blood streaming into rivers.

In just an hour, within the vast Blade Minor Thousand World, only a few dozen people, including Li Shouxuan, still mounted a final resistance.

"Humans are truly resilient!" looking at the stubborn resistance of Li Shouxuan and the others, the Bone Demon Head remarked with grim admiration. Faced with an inescapable demise, any other force would likely have surrendered long ago.

"General, no matter how hard the bone, can it not still be broken?" a Deputy General said in a sinister voice. He swept his bone spear, unleashing a burst of demonic light that impaled a human soldier, causing blood to spew forth.

"Humans… will triumph!" the soldier's body stiffened, his war weapon dropped from his hand, his life force fading. In the final moments of his life, he let out a roar that transcended time and space.

"End this war as soon as possible!" The Bone Demon Head frowned, his bone spear lunging like a dragon towards Li Shouxuan, piercing the Starfield.

"Kill!" Li Shouxuan threw his head back and roared, his voice tragic and defiant, his heart filled with agony.

He hated his own incompetence.

Of the over a million human soldiers, almost the entire army had been wiped out.

That wasn't the primary concern. He was more worried that after his death, the humans living around the Blade Minor Thousand World would be slaughtered, their bodies used as cultivation nourishment for the demons.

It would be a scene of unimaginable horror.

The only option now was to…

"Let's die together!" Li Shouxuan roared inwardly. His eyes suddenly sharpened, his blood essence churned and began to burn fiercely, releasing the aura of a peak Profound Immortal.

He held his sword, and it hummed continuously. Brilliant sword light shone, the laws of the Sword Dao swept across the Starfield, unleashing an indescribable, peerless Sword Qi.

"Childish!" The Bone Demon Head sneered. Throughout his countless battles, he could easily see through Li Shouxuan's ploy. His eyes were fiercely imperious; myriad spear shadows unfurled, like a world of spears pressing down to suppress everything.

However, just as their attacks collided, a faint, unnatural flush appeared on Li Shouxuan's pale face, and the corners of his mouth curled upwards.

Following that, his body began to expand, bursting with violent power. It tore open the wounds on his body. Immortal blood sprayed, and madness filled his eyes.

"Self-detonation!"

"You madman!" The Bone Demon Head's pupils shrank sharply. Without a second thought, he instinctively shot backward.

BOOM!

With that deafening explosion, a fireball materialized out of thin air in the deep and dark Starfield.

It was like a star exploding, producing an immensely violent energy that shook the Starfield, overturned heaven and earth, and destroyed everything.

"AAAH!" The Bone Demon Head, who hadn't escaped far, was engulfed by the fireball, letting out a horrifying scream.

An instant later, the Bone Demon Army soldiers standing dozens of li away were struck by the shockwave. They spat blood and were sent flying; those with weaker cultivations were instantly torn to shreds.

In less than a breath's time, the meteorites orbiting the Blade Minor Thousand World, as if struck by a heavy blow, exploded violently, turning into cosmic dust.

The surrounding millions of li of Starfield were completely obliterated.

A full quarter of an hour passed before the aftermath began to dissipate.

"Humans!"

"This feud will only end in death!" Amidst a furious roar, the Bone Demon Head, his body scorched and his left arm severed, flew out of the inferno, his expression colder than ice.

Looking closely, one would find a trace of lingering fear deep within his eyes.

He had never imagined Li Shouxuan would self-detonate.

The consequences of self-detonation were too severe. The terrifying power would directly shred the soul, causing one to vanish completely from this world, without even the chance of reincarnation.

Unless driven by overwhelming hatred, few would choose to self-detonate.

"Is anyone still alive? Rally!" The Bone Demon Head scanned the surroundings, where corpses floated everywhere, and shouted in displeasure.

Upon hearing the order, the dazed and reeling soldiers of the Bone Demon Army staggered to their feet and gathered, their numbers reduced by nearly half compared to before.

"Damn humans!" Seeing the heavy casualties among his soldiers, the Bone Demon Head cursed again. He took a deep breath, raised his spear with his lone arm, and pointed it towards the Starfield beyond the Blade Minor Thousand World.

A dense killing intent soared into the sky, like a celestial pillar propping up the universe.

"Relay my orders! Kill every human you encounter!"

"This General will build a hundred Human Bone Mountains in the human Starfield!" the Bone Demon Head commanded, bristling with killing intent.

At this moment, the fury in his heart could not be extinguished even by all the waters of the three rivers and five lakes; only the blood of countless humans could quench it.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The just over thirty thousand soldiers of the Bone Demon Army, their eyes filled with savagery, brandished their war weapons, rode their Demon Clouds, crossed the Blade Minor Thousand World, and invaded the heartlands of the human territories.

A demonic blade now hung over the heads of the human race.

「On the other side.」

Within the human sphere of influence, Immortal Essence Beacons were lit one after another. Starting from the Blade Minor Thousand World, they stretched southwards, ignited on the stars of countless human factions.

Looking out, Immortal Essence Beacons filled the land; alas, nowhere was tranquil.

Inside the Sky Sword Pavilion, bronze bells tolled. Countless Immortals, flying on their Immortal Swords, gathered below the main peak, their expressions grim, a faint killing intent emanating from them and lingering in the sky.

They too had seen the Immortal Essence Beacons.

The lighting of the beacons meant war was imminent.

At the summit of the main peak, within a floating grand hall, the upper echelons of the Sky Sword Pavilion were gathered. Their faces were solemn, Sword Intent permeated their beings, ready to unleash a heaven-shattering sword strike at any moment.

"Six Immortal Essence Beacons!"

"This is the largest-scale invasion in ten thousand years!"

"The Blade Minor Thousand World has no elite legions; it must have fallen!"

"Great Elder, you are to immediately lead the disciples of Battle Sword Peak to reinforce the northern Starfield! You must repel the enemy!" The Heavenly Sword Immortal, seated in the main position, commanded with authority.

"Understood!" The Great Elder, who had been seated in the foremost position, rose. His imposing figure held a heavy sword. After a respectful salute, he strode out of the hall, his steps heavy, radiating a heaven-shaking killing intent.

"Disciples of Battle Sword Peak, hear my command! Follow me to slay the enemy!"

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The sound of Immortal Swords being unsheathed echoed.

Three hundred thousand disciples of Battle Sword Peak tore through the sky, flying on their Immortal Swords, Immortal light shining, their Sword Intent sharp.

Meanwhile, at the summit of the Nine Heavens, a peculiar manifestation of Space Law emerged, constructing a Star Gate thousands of feet high.

The Sky Sword Pavilion disciples going to provide reinforcements would pass through the Star Gate to reach the front lines at maximum speed, expel the invading enemy, and minimize human losses.

"Second Elder, you are to immediately organize the human forces, activate their hidden reserves, and prepare for battle at any moment!" the Heavenly Sword Immortal commanded again.

"Pavilion Master, rest assured!" The Second Elder rose and hastily departed.

"I hope my premonition is wrong!" After making these arrangements, the Heavenly Sword Immortal murmured, his figure gradually fading until it disappeared completely.
