Merging with Demon Spirits-Chapter 452 - 328: Yang Qing’s Terror

The earth shook violently, and amidst the sharp and piercing cries, came the sound of waves surging, filling people with dread.

Buzz buzz buzz!

It was as if tens of thousands of bee wings were vibrating, the piercing and dense sound tightening one’s whole body and numbing one’s heart.

The five towers surrounding the cage were like small red suns, emitting dazzling light.

A wave of fiery energy spread outward and after three or four seconds, the tower suddenly fired a fiery beam towards Sha Mi’s position.

That fiery beam did not attack Sha Mi but directly dissolved into the iron cage.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

At the same time, the other four towers also fired red beams one after another, their speed swift as red lightning, disappearing in a mere instant.

"Damn seal!"

Sha Mi violently destroyed everything, letting out piercing screams.

Just a few more seconds and he could escape this damned seal in the very next moment.

But just as the iron cage was about to deform completely, riddled with holes and unable to bear anymore, the beams rendered his efforts futile in an instant.

The originally deep and pitch-black iron cage became exceptionally bright under the impact of the beams.

The black iron bars continuously flowed with fiery red light, as if wrapped with a swirling fire net.

Even those originally bent and riddled with holes started to repair visibly under such energy.

Seeing this, Sha Mi’s pupils tightened, the golden pupils revealing a tint of blood.

He didn’t give up; under everyone’s shocked and fearful gaze, Sha Mi’s belly crazily expanded, emitting a monstrous aura.

As it expanded, threads of golden light appeared in his huge mouth full of sharp teeth and started spinning, faster and faster. A power that could destroy the world was gradually coalescing.

Under this power, some weaker people couldn’t help but collapse to the ground, goosebumps rising all over their bodies.

"It’s Spiritual Power Jade, this Sha Mi is crazy."

Someone said in a tone of terror.

Only such a terrifying Emperor Level Exotic Beast could compress spiritual power to such a degree.

It’s not a natural skill, but an attack move possessed by all Emperor-Level Demon Beasts.

As his belly instantly shrank, a massive beam shot out from Sha Mi’s mouth, striking fear into everyone’s hearts.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

The massive light wave collided like a missile onto the iron cage, but surprisingly, it didn’t make much of an impact sound, only the sound of corrosion.

The fiery red seal rippled like a lake in that moment, and time seemed to stop.

Everyone felt a blackness before their eyes, space seemed to tremble slightly, and their minds went blank for a split second.

When they came to, several seconds had passed.

The beam didn’t penetrate the cage’s seal, but the effect was obvious; the previously shimmering seal was now considerably dimmer.

With this attack intensity, another strike might pierce the cage.

At this time, none of the five Sealing Towers could release another energy defense in time.

Meanwhile, Sha Mi had also taken some damage; within the confined cage, he had nowhere to hide.

The massive beam had immense energy, but due to the cage’s confinement, the reverse shockwave nearly knocked him to the ground.

The strong energy caused the sand on his body to keep falling, his size noticeably smaller.

He was hurt too.

The injured Sha Mi was visibly fatigued; he stood up and continued to gather power.

Within this enclosed cage, spiritual power was forcibly drawn away, not leaving a trace.

Unable to extract primordial power from his surroundings, all attacks relied on his own origin power, so Sha Mi couldn’t fully unleash his strength; otherwise, the Spiritual Power Jade wouldn’t have such limited power.

However, just one more time is all it takes; victory seems within reach.

Once he escapes this seal, even if sealed again, he wants the people of Shangjing to remember this tragic day.

As Sha Mi gathered power in his mouth, his golden pupils suddenly glanced at the horizon, a trace of hatred and madness flaring up in his eyes, speeding up the coalescence process.

Those who had not left were now drenched in sweat, their souls trembling.

Even though the Exotic Beast was still sealed and hadn’t escaped, its terrifying aura already had some people collapsing on the ground.

"The Guardians have arrived."

Those who were desperate started to cheer upon seeing flickering colorful light appear in the golden night sky.

Before, the lights were distant in the sky and mere dots, but now, in the blink of an eye, these lights were gently flashing, appearing above them.

Silhouettes flew through the sky, appearing over the Hong Race’s territory.

There were twenty-three in total, five of whom rushed toward the towers like lightning.

Floating in the air with sheer power, without using Spiritual Power Wings, showed that these people were King-Level powerhouses!

They looked down, gazing at the seemingly berserk Sha Mi within the iron cage, their eyes heavy, showing a hint of fear.

Demon Beasts from the Celestial Chart, such Emperor-Level Demon Beasts, usually recorded in history, even many among them hadn’t seen one, let alone fought one.

Even through the barrier, the oppressive feeling of suffocation still caused some trepidation, eliminating any real desire to combat.

If not for their numbers and Sha Mi being sealed, many wouldn’t even have the courage to face him.

Such level of Demon Beast indeed isn’t something Kings can contend with.

Sha Mi relentlessly attacked the cage, using every method; the massive steel cage was now tottering and riddled with holes.

Sha Mi let out piercing roars, and once again, the golden beam appeared, spinning and rapidly colliding into the cage.

As Sha Mi was about to succeed in breaking free, at that thrilling moment for everyone, the towers shot out beam-like energy once more, merging into the steel cage, making the dim cage bright again as Sha Mi’s attack landed the next second.

"That was close!"

Everyone’s minds went blank again for two seconds, and coming to their senses, they were filled with relief, realizing how narrowly the Exotic Beast almost escaped.

"Damn it, everyone has arrived."

Sha Mi’s pupils rolled as it panted slightly, its large mouth continuously exhaling waves of white mist with a hint of sulfur.

After two consecutive rapid attacks, each being its strongest move, it couldn’t draw spiritual power, and its strength was gradually overdrawn. The arrival of the Guardians made it realize it had failed again.

With the sealing array in front of it, and the support of those Kings, it had no chance of escaping this seal.

After all, the time it had to appear wasn’t very long. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Sha Mi is very powerful; it is a Celestial Chart demon beast.

For fifty years, it was sealed within the Spirit Medium, and its strength had regressed significantly.

But even so, with its inherent ability to control sand and stones, its fighting power was stronger than many Martial Emperors.

In the eyes of cultivators, King-level powerhouses are already strong, but to an emperor-level demon beast like Sha Mi, they are nothing to take seriously.

If it weren’t for the seal in front of it, even the most powerful King could be easily slaughtered by it, and no one could stop its escape.

"Damn humans, one day I will kill all of you."

Sha Mi looked at the many Guardians, the black dots outside its golden pupils continuously shifting, as the killing intent in its eyes seemed tangible.

Sha Mi’s voice was sharp, making it uncomfortable for anyone who heard it. Though just a demon beast, the intelligence of some King-level demon beasts is already comparable to humans, let alone an emperor-level exotic beast like Sha Mi.

Having lived for thousands of years, it’s not only proficient in human languages but also in those of some special races.

At this moment, facing the slowly recovering barrier, the madness in its eyes was slowly fading, but the bloodthirsty killing intent was so evident.

Its hatred for humans was unbridled.

"How did Sha Mi break the seal? What are these guards doing?"

"Finally made it."

"Almost let that Sha Mi escape."

The Guardians looked at the demon beast at their feet, breathing a sigh of relief. Thankfully, they arrived in time; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If this Celestial Chart demon beast truly escaped, at least millions would die or be injured.

There are 108 demon beasts ranked in the Earth Chart.

But only 18 are in the Celestial Chart.

Though there is no specific ranking, the power of this Sha Mi is undoubtedly in the top five, perhaps even the top three.

"This Sha Mi shouldn’t exist within the Base City, it’s too dangerous," someone complained.

"Yeah, it’s terrifying. If it really got out, we’d be doomed."

This statement resonated with many, and complaints erupted.

Having such a ticking time bomb within the Base City, no one knows when it might truly explode.

They had no doubt that if it escaped, Sha Mi would definitely go on a rampage before leaving. Then, Shangjing would run with rivers of blood.

"Just kill it directly and gain a Celestial Chart demon spirit," someone suggested, gaining much approval.

But it was merely a suggestion.

This demon spirit is extremely important to the Hong Race; it’s the family’s treasure, impossible to give up easily.

Unless, it truly causes massive casualties.

The Guardians, though of high status, couldn’t compare to the transcendent Clan Leader of the Hong Race.

Whose combat power ranks among the top of the Thirteen Emperors.

So they could only complain verbally.

Nor could they, with their strength, kill Sha Mi.

This demon beast had other special values, which might be why its existence was allowed in Base City.

Compared to others’ relief, Yang Qingtian harbored a foreboding feeling.

His gaze scanned the surroundings and the ground, but he found no trace of the Alien Race.

To forcibly let Sha Mi break free from the Spirit Medium’s constraints, only the Alien Race might possess such ability.

After all, Sha Mi is a demon beast unique to the Divine Martial Continent.

"Such a commotion just to let Sha Mi break the seal?"

Seeing that people seemed relaxed and even joking around, Yang Qingtian suddenly asked.

At these words, everyone’s complexion changed slightly, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Not only Yang Qingtian, but others also had a bad premonition.

If it was merely to let Sha Mi break the seal, there was no need for such a grand commotion.

Wouldn’t it be better to do it secretly?

It’s known that many "rats" were caught this time, and there’s only one outcome for the captured: death.

Choosing to be a "rat" means they instinctively value life and fear death. Without enough temptation or pressure, they wouldn’t easily show themselves.

So many died, some even holding high positions, causing considerable losses to the "New World," making them heartbroken.

Paying such a high price and yet gaining nothing doesn’t accord with reason.

At this moment, with Sha Mi not yet freed, this seemed more like a ploy to restrain them.

"What are the Alien Race really planning?" someone asked.

At that moment, many looked towards the horizon, where a fiery red light appeared, approaching rapidly, arriving before them in three or four seconds.

It was Yang Qing.

What truly made everyone worry was that Yang Qing, who always maintained composure and calmness, now looked grim, his gaze not only serious but tinged with fear.

And what he said next made everyone freeze and tremble inside.

"The Space Gate is starting to merge!"
