Martial Ascent to Divinity-Chapter 478 - 462: Consecutive Assaults

"Without destroying that Demon Artifact, we can’t get through. Destroying it is equivalent to being exposed prematurely."

"Can the Demon Spirit Technique solve it?"

"It can solve it, but not silently. It will definitely be discovered by the Demon Eye."

"That’s a problem."

"If it were just Beastmen, it would be better. Their defense wouldn’t be so tight."

"What should we do then?"

"We’ll have to think about it a bit more."

Zhou Leng said, "I’ll try. I’ll use the Demon Spirit Artifact to break through the whirlpool and block the Demon Eye’s surveillance."

Ever since comprehending the Sea Suppression Fragment Map and the power of the Cosmic Tsunami, Zhou Leng had gained a certain degree of water control ability, even not weaker than an ordinary Sea Siren.

Everyone looked at this Sea Siren killer.

"Are you sure? That kind of whirlpool is too strong. Once caught, the only option is to explode it with True Qi, at which point your identity will inevitably be exposed."

"Is there any other way?" Zhou Leng asked.

Everyone was helpless. Not to mention whether they could temporarily borrow personnel, even if they could, it would be much later, too late to be of any help.

Everyone looked at Gao Yunbo.

Gao Yunbo was silent for a moment, then said, "Let the Monkey King try. If it fails, retreat quickly and prepare for a strong attack."

Zhou Leng took the Demon Spirit Artifact and swam alone towards the whirlpool.

Everyone quietly watched Zhou Leng’s figure disappear into the dark waters.

The strong whirlpool spun around him. Upon entering, Zhou Leng felt a bit suffocated, his body being swept and out of control by the strong whirlpool.

But as the Star Gazing True Qi continued to operate, along with the Taiqing Sea Robe, he managed to offset most of the whirlpool’s force.

After a while, after adapting to the environment here, he slowly swam forward in the fierce whirlpool.

The pull of the whirlpool was too strong, but if too much Qi was used, it might be noticed by the Demon Eye.

Zhou Leng controlled his strength and swam slowly.

Finally, he passed through the whirlpool area and reached the shore.

Underwater, Zhou Leng activated the "Illusory Mist" Demon Spirit Artifact, slowly raising it above the water’s surface.

The Demon Spirit Artifact released magical power, weaving a deceptive illusion.

In the sight of the Demon Eye, everything appeared just as before.

Zhou Leng held the Demon Spirit Artifact, slowly approaching the Demon Eye, eventually covering it with the artifact.

Then, he used the Demonized Watch to send a message.

"Successfully neutralized the Demon Eye."

Underwater, everyone was delighted. Then, the Demon Spirit Masters found an opportunity to cast spells to suppress the whirlpool.

But the whirlpool was too strong, the suppression effect was poor, and they couldn’t destroy the Demon Artifact for fear of being discovered.

Everyone tried several times, but still couldn’t get through, not even the Great Innate.

Because the whirlpool could destroy the ability to breathe through the skin.

So, Zhou Leng simply used the simplest foolish method, returned to the water, used a rope to connect a team, then swam through the whirlpool area himself and pulled them up onshore.

The team rested briefly, opened the drainage outlet, entered the fortress from there, and used the Demon Spirit Rings to morph into different Demons.

Inside the fortress.

The Beastmen were undisciplined, but the High-Level Demons relatively followed rules.

As the Demon Warlock, the Hand of Pain was on night watch today. As usual, he flipped through spell books and studied spells.

A knock on the door sounded.

"Sir, your midnight snack," came a Demon’s voice from outside.

"Bring it in," the Hand of Pain didn’t even lift his head to look.

Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he saw a flash of light, the light of a spell.

He hurried to grab his magic staff, but found his movements incredibly slow.

The Demon carrying the midnight snack took one step forward by his side, one hand covering his mouth, the other holding a spiked Demon Spirit Artifact, stabbing it into his neck.

A powerful protective shield emerged from the Hand of Pain.

Swish...

The spiked Demon Spirit Artifact pierced through without obstruction.

The Hand of Pain was immediately paralyzed, not dead, which didn’t trigger the life-saving Demon Artifact on him or the death alert.

The Demon Spirit Master at the door entered and sent a message in the action group.

"Target 1 cleared."

"Target 2 cleared."

"Target 3 cleared."

"Target 4 cleared..."

"All key targets cleared, begin clearing all demons and beastmen inside the fortress according to the set sequence."

They had long since dispatched Demon Spirit Masters to scout, so they were well-versed in all aspects of the Demons’ actions and numbers.

After assassinating the Innate, the non-Innate Demons were like fish on the chopping block.

In less than half an hour, Zhou Leng and the Innate cleared all the Demons from the bridgehead.

Then, the Demon Spirit Masters used Illusion Technique Demon Spirit Artifacts to create the illusion of Beastmen patrolling outside.

Everyone gathered together, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Gao Yunbo said, "Thanks to the Monkey King this time, I didn’t expect it to be so smooth."

"The military discipline of Demons is ultimately not as good as our Human Race. They are always tight on the outside and loose on the inside, unlike us humans, who are always loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Once inside, it went very smoothly."

"Now we’ll send a signal to the outside, let them break through the outer bridge blockade and come to this bridgehead."

Zhou Leng said, "Wait."

Everyone looked at this infiltrator hero.

"First, intelligence said that half of the troops at the third mining site left to transport supplies, leaving the interior empty."

"Second, everyone knows the demon army’s discipline is poor, tight on the outside and loose on the inside. The bridgehead is precisely an external defense line of the third mining site."

"If we enter the third mining site from elsewhere, we’ll surely be suspected. But if we enter from the bridgehead direction, what do you think the demons guarding the gate will do?"

Some Innate Martial Artists’ eyes lit up.

In a frontal battle, these Innates definitely can’t withstand the guards of the third mining site.

But if they execute a decapitation strike, coordinated with the external Human Race army, they might not even need war machinery, just need to create internal chaos, and later the army could storm through the bridgehead and likely seize the third mining site in one fell swoop.

If successful, it could reduce thousands of casualties.

Gao Yunbo thought for a moment and said, "This is a tactic of winning with less, and even if we fail, we can still hold the bridgehead, making it an undefeatable position! I will apply for a new battle plan from the higher-ups, and ask the Demon Spirit Master friends to help transmit the message."

Gao Yunbo used the Demon Spirit Master to transmit the message, revising the plan, and emphasized that it was the Monkey King who solved the problem and proposed the suggestion.

Although the people on the internet don’t know the hidden Martial Artist called the Monkey King, all military commanders know that the Monkey King is the one who bears the arrows.

The Dragon Country Demon City Army always had a high level of strategic insight, and they immediately saw the high feasibility of this plan.

Thus, they immediately agreed and set a plan.

Once the Monkey King team launched an attack in the third mining site, the army would send Innates to occupy the bridgehead, and the rest of the teams would assault the third mining site.

Next, Zhou Leng and others discussed the detailed plan.

The final decision was to let Zhou Leng transform into a Black Sun Intestine.

The head was a black light disk, the body was a hollow floating armor, and from between the head and the armor, twenty-four blood sausages emerged.

It looked like a blood sausage flower blooming atop the armor.

As the Celestial Calamity Envoy’s body was also a Black Sun Intestine, even an ordinary Black Sun Intestine held an unimaginable status in the Celestial Calamity Army.

Moreover, Zhou Leng’s fluency in the Demon Language was intimidating enough to startle ordinary guards.

Prepared in all respects, everyone used Demon Spirit Rings to disguise themselves, leaving only two Innates to guard the bridgehead, while the rest disguised themselves as Celestial Calamity Army envoys and quickly reached the third mining site’s gate.

Under the lights, a Beastman asked, "Excuse me, esteemed Black Sun Intestine sir, why have you come..."

Zhou Leng rudely interrupted, "Open the door, green skin. I’m carrying an urgent military order from His Highness the Celestial Calamity Envoy to see the garrison commander here. If you delay military matters, I’ll slaughter your tribe!"

The Beastman dared not argue with an esteemed Black Sun Intestine, especially since they came from the bridgehead, indicating they were allies.

Furthermore, the way he said "green skin" was so authentic, the Beastman couldn’t even feel insulted.

The Beastman said nothing further, opened the door directly, and everyone swaggered inside.

The team entered the demon army’s headquarters and, under the guard’s lead, headed straight for the garrison commander’s location.

The demons operated a dual-command system. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The warlord of this mining site was the brave and battle-hardened Flesh and Blood War Chariot, while the civil commander was the more rational than ordinary demons, the Ring Snake Bishop.

Upon learning it was the Black Sun Intestine, neither commander had any doubt and hurried into the conference room.

At the instant the two commanders appeared, everyone took action, simultaneously sending signals to the humans outside the bridgehead.

Close combat and the Demon Spirit Master’s restrictions swiftly overwhelmed the two Great Innates, who were killed after struggling briefly.

But the commotion of the Great Innate battle was too loud, alarming the entire demon base.

Zhou Leng jumped onto the rooftop, and the Demon Spirit Master radiated light.

"By the divine decree of His Majesty the Celestial Calamity God, the commanders here embezzled military resources and are to be executed on the spot. All Innates come to the conference room to listen to the decree of His Majesty the Celestial Calamity God. Any violators will be executed on the spot!"

Under such dazzling golden light, the Black Sun Intestine standing on the rooftop invoked the name of the Celestial Calamity God, and the Innates entered the hall in confusion.

Zhou Leng and many Innates stood on the main stage, coldly sweeping their gazes over the Innate Demons.

As the number of Innate Demons entering exceeded fifty, an Ice Sphere suddenly emerged, enveloping the entire building.

The Demon Spirit Master and the Demon Spirit Artifact launched an attack.

Zhou Leng and the many Innates swiftly hurled Demonized Long Spears, then charged forward to commence the slaughter.

Among these demons, there were no Great Innates. Zhou Leng and the three Great Innates, like lions and tigers entering a kennel of dogs, worked with the Demon Spirit Master, sacrificing only three injuries to kill over fifty Innate Demons.

However, the battle wasn’t over instantly, and the roars of the Innate Demons echoed throughout the third mining site.

"It’s fake! They’re humans in disguise!"

"Enemy invasion!"

"Don’t be deceived!"

Outside, the demons refused to enter again.

Many Innate Demons began arranging demon troops to surround the conference building.

Meanwhile, outside the bridge, a large number of Innates and Life Force Martial Artists forcibly broke the defenses of the outer bridge, rushing along the bridge into the bridgehead.

Besides the few Martial Artists left to guard and wait for the rear army, all Innates rushed towards the third mining site.

The distance between the bridgehead and the third mining site was less than five kilometers, the Innates could cover the 5000 meters in less than a minute.

Latterly arriving Innates scattered into small teams, entering the third mining site to continuously assault and slaughter.

The total number of human Innates entering at two different times exceeded one hundred.

The demons surrounding the conference room had to split up their forces to attack.

The entire mining site originally had over two hundred Innate Demons, but half were out.

And then Zhou Leng and the others killed fifty or sixty, causing a serious shortage of Innate Demons.

Facing the harassment by human Innates, they didn’t dare confront them alone, only leading large numbers of ordinary demons in an attempt to swarm kill, but they missed the right opportunity.

After the harassment, the latter Innate Martial Artists joined forces to break through the demons’ encirclement of the conference building and joined the humans inside.

Over a hundred human Innates joined forces, slaughtering their way out, but instead of directly engaging the demon army, they used their speed and power advantages to continually disrupt the mining site.
