The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 925 Fierce Battle at Demon Sparrow Mountain (Long Chapter)

Nanzhou Holy Flame Island, in the Holy Flame Realm.

At the foot of Demon Sparrow Mountain, tens of thousands of cultivators are besieging the three-headed demon lord. One of the demon lords is already covered in wounds and his aura is weak.

Pan Chengfeng, along with five cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement stage, quietly arrived at the edge of the battlefield.

These five people are the cultivators with the highest cultivation levels among the three sects of the Eastern Continent. Besides Ye Bufan, Yang Jing, and Ge Siqin, there are two others.

One of them was Ye Mingtao, a servant of the Ye family, who had reached the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement stage. He was Ye Bufan's servant.

The other person is Ge Yiran, a cultivator from the Ge family of the Ghost Control Sect, who is also at the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement stage. He is Ge Siqin's cousin.

The five people followed behind Pan Chengfeng, all marveling at his special skills or secret techniques.

When they sneaked in earlier, the nearest cultivator was only a few dozen meters away from them.

Although there are some shelters, a cultivator's divine sense cannot be concealed by these rocks and trees.

Even though they were only a few dozen meters apart, the peak Void Refinement cultivator still couldn't spot them, as if he were blind and deaf.

When they were only two thousand meters away from the formation, Pan Chengfeng stopped and turned around to whisper, "You all wait here. I'll hide on the mountaintop."

"As soon as the Three-Headed Demon Lord dies, I'll make my move immediately. You're all ready to provide backup and give them a good beating!"

The five nodded, not daring to utter a sound.

Pan Chengfeng used his voice to transmit the message because he was worried that the fluctuations in the magical power of the sound transmission would attract the attention of the cultivators, since everyone was only wearing a layer of spiritual clothing.

After giving instructions to the others, Pan Chengfeng began to climb towards the top of the mountain.

Within the formation, the One-Eyed Demon Sparrow flapped its wings, raised its head and let out a long cry, its huge single eye emitting a faint red light.

The red light carried a mental attack, causing all the cultivators it shone with dizziness and swaying bodies.

However, as soon as the demonic sparrow began its attack, a large number of cultivators at or above the late stage of the Void Refinement realm attacked it, interrupting its spellcasting.

The cultivators who were about to be controlled immediately regained their senses and continued to attack the rock scorpion with a severed tail.

The Twin-Tailed Rock Scorpion, a late-stage seventh-order demon lord, was being besieged by tens of thousands of cultivators while protecting the One-Eyed Demon Sparrow.

The rock scorpion had lost a tail and its body was covered in wounds pierced by magic, with green blood splattered everywhere, but there were even more cultivators dead on the ground.

Another late-stage seventh-tier demonic beast, the Azure-Eyed Heavenly Heart Toad, opened its mouth wide and continuously spat out black liquid. Any cultivators who came into contact with the liquid would immediately be turned into a pool of blood.

Having reached the summit, Pan Chengfeng saw the horrific scene below and suddenly wondered if he had gone too far.

So many people died for the Demon-Companion Grass, and you're here to reap the rewards? Isn't that a bit too much of a shrewish act...?

However, this thought was fleeting. Pan Chengfeng shook his head and continued to probe towards the Demon Sparrow's cave.

The situation on the field has become extremely intense. The three-headed demon lord, suppressed by the formation, can only exert 60% to 70% of his original strength.

Seeing that the two beasts were about to be overwhelmed by the cultivators, the Demon Sparrow suddenly roared: "Big Scorpion, Big Toad, if you don't use your supernatural powers now, when will you?!"

Just as the scorpion and toad received the demon sparrow's command and were about to unleash their supernatural powers, a phantom image of a tiger's head suddenly materialized and roared at them.

As the tiger roared, the two beasts, whose bodies were already turning red and were about to unleash their supernatural powers, suddenly felt their heads sink, and the power they had just gathered inexplicably dissipated.

The demon sparrow exclaimed in shock, "What kind of formation is this? It can not only suppress our strength, but also interrupt our supernatural abilities!!"

Taking advantage of the moment, Nangong Tian flew to the top of the still-unresponsive rock scorpion, formed hand seals, and said, "You've all been imprisoned for so many years, how could you possibly understand the mysteries of formations? Take this, Lava Sea!"

In an instant, waves of lava rained down from the sky, drenching the rock scorpion.

The already severely injured rock scorpion screamed and struggled. After three or four breaths, only a pool of lava and a crystal core emitting a pale yellow light remained.

The demon sparrow was shocked to see this, never expecting that the rock scorpion would actually die at the hands of a group of Void Refinement cultivators.

Pan Chengfeng was also surprised to see this, thinking to himself, "Nangong Tian's strength has improved again!! Damn it, will I be able to handle this?"

After a moment of hesitation, Pan Chengfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Never mind, we're already here, why think so much? At worst, I'll just tell Nangong Tian that I'm his brother-in-law and he's my brother-in-law, and ask him to let me off the hook."

Pan Chengfeng shamelessly thought about how to save his life. Meanwhile, Nangong Tian landed on a small hill formed by lava, picked up a crystal core from the ground, and said, "One-Eyed Demon Sparrow, I advise you to leave on your own, or the Rock Scorpion will be your fate!"

The giant toad looked at the one-eyed demon bird. If the one-eyed demon bird hesitated even for a moment, it would definitely be the first to run away.

There was nothing they could do. Although they were at the late stage and peak of the seventh rank, they couldn't withstand the sheer number of people. They understood the principle that many ants can kill an elephant.

The one-eyed demon sparrow stared intently at Nangong Tiandao: "Dream on! Even if I destroy the Demon-Companion Grass, I will not let you despicable humans benefit from it!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the blood and qi within the One-Eyed Demon Sparrow surged wildly, and in the blink of an eye, it spread its wings and flew to the center of the formation.

The giant toad seemed to understand what the demon sparrow was trying to do, and quickly sprayed venom to stop the cultivators who were about to attack the demon sparrow.

Nangong Tian sensed something was wrong and tried to stop the Demon Sparrow, but it was too late.

The demonic sparrow's single eye radiated a bright red light, its brilliance stretching for thousands of miles, blinding tens of thousands of cultivators from the Southern Continent.

With a long cry from the one-eyed demon sparrow, the one eye detached from its socket and shattered in mid-air, sending crimson fragments hurtling towards the cultivators present.

Nangong Tian was terrified and shouted, "Whatever you do, don't get hit by the shards!!!"

All those present were Void Refinement cultivators, and their reactions were quick. Many people managed to dodge the fragments in time, but many more were unable to dodge in time and were hit by the fragments.

"Hahaha!! Too late!!" The Demon Sparrow roared with laughter, "Your formation can't even suppress my innate divine power, let's die together!! Divine Power: Dance of Death!!!"

Nangong Tian's eyes were bloodshot as he turned to Bai Zhengyi, wanting the array masters to intensify their suppression of the Demon Lord.

But as soon as he turned his head, his handsome face froze.

At the array master's location, only Bai Zhengyi remained standing; the other array masters had all fainted and were lying sprawled on the ground.

Moreover, Bai Zhengyi was in very bad condition at this time, his face was pale and he was sweating profusely.

The array masters had used all their strength to interrupt the divine abilities of the two seventh-tier demon lords.

Except for Bai Zhengyi, whose cultivation level was higher and managed to hold on, the others collapsed immediately after stopping the attack.

Knowing they had done their best, Nangong Tian muttered to himself, "It seems I can't hold back either! Qu Yingsheng!"

Qu Yingsheng quickly flew to Nangong Tian's side, cupped his hands, and said, "What are your orders, Young Master Zhui?!"

Nangong Tian said calmly, "I don't care what method you use, as long as you can stop that giant toad for a quarter of an hour, you will be the steward of the Holy City of Zijin Prefecture from now on!"

Qu Yingsheng was overjoyed and immediately knelt down, saying, "That toad won't come over within a quarter of an hour, unless I die!!"

As he spoke, Qu Yingsheng led more than three thousand cultivators from the Purple Gold Mansion to charge at the giant toad.

After Nangong Tian finished giving his instructions, the One-Eyed Demon Sparrow's attack had ended.

More than 10,000 cultivators were hit by the fragment. They all examined their internal bodies, but no matter how they searched with their divine sense, they could not find the fragment.

The one-eyed demon sparrow flapped its wings and growled, "Damn humans, let's kill each other! Clang~~"

The cultivator struck by the one-eyed fragment heard the bird's cry, and his eyes began to turn red. He became dazed, and the battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

Two breaths later, more than 10,000 cultivators from the Southern Continent suddenly went berserk, their eyes bloodshot as they charged at their fellow disciples.

The Demon Sparrow had lost its one eye and its strength had been greatly reduced, but it had already achieved its goal. Just as it was looking for an opportunity to break free of the formation and escape, a person suddenly appeared in front of it.

Nangong Tian stood in front of the One-Eyed Demon Sparrow and said calmly, "You want to take this opportunity to escape?"

Enraged that her little scheme had been guessed, the demon sparrow retorted, "I want to escape? You're the ones who should be running away!"

Nangong Tian chuckled coldly, "It's best if you don't run away. Then you'll have to bear my wrath!"

As he spoke, Nangong Tian's magical power began to condense, the high temperature spread out, space distorted, and the wind blew the demon sparrow's feathers flying wildly.

The Demon Sparrow exclaimed in shock, "A mere human brat at the Void Refinement Realm actually possesses such strength!!"

Suppressing his anger, Nangong Tian attacked without mercy. He clasped his hands together, completing the final hand seal, and shouted, "Doomsday Volcano!!"

He immediately unleashed his family's secret techniques, and Nangong Tian didn't want to delay any longer. He had a vague feeling that things were heading in a direction beyond his control.

Nine enormous volcanoes surrounded the Demon Sparrow, with scorching lava shooting everywhere. The Demon Sparrow had no way to dodge and could only withstand the damage with its bare body.

The Demon Sparrow is now less than 30% of its peak strength and is also suppressed by the formation. It is running back and forth between the nine volcanoes, trying to find a weak point to break through.

However, each of the nine volcanoes is exceptionally sturdy. If the Demon Sparrow were still at its peak, breaking through one of them and escaping would be no problem at all.

But it can't do that now.

With nowhere to run, the Sparrow panicked and began attacking indiscriminately. However, every time its attack was about to hit the volcano, a shield of fire would block its attack.

While the Flame Shield cannot completely block attacks, it can weaken their power. When it hits a volcano, it can only make the volcano shake a few times before it continues to spew lava.

Nangong Tian gritted his teeth and persevered, continuously channeling his magic power into the volcano. The lava eruptions became increasingly dense, and the feathers of the demonic sparrow inside were almost burned off.

Time passed slowly, and the demon sparrow continued to struggle, but Nangong Tian was already pale, drenched in sweat, and his magic power was beginning to wane.

The magical bird inside the volcano sensed that the magma had thinned considerably and shouted, "Human, if you don't stop now, we'll both perish!"

With that, the Sparrow used its last bit of strength to crash into one of the volcanoes.

With a loud 'boom', Nangong Tian spat out a mouthful of blood and hurriedly took out the Rejuvenation Pill and the Jade Dew Pill.

He then took a deep breath and said, "I still have strength left, but you are at your last gasp. You want to die together? Dream on!"

After taking the Rejuvenation Pill, Nangong Tian's magical power recovered somewhat. Just as he was about to increase his magical power output, the array barrier suddenly disappeared with a 'whoosh'!

Nangong Tian was shocked, but the Demon Sparrow was overjoyed. The formation that had suppressed it for more than a quarter of an hour had failed, and the circulation of its internal energy and blood had finally become smooth.

With a long cry, the demonic sparrow mustered all its strength, its claws drawing a streak of white light as it shouted, "Demon Sparrow Sky-Tearing Claw!"

With a 'whoosh', a white light tore through space and streaked across the volcano.

With a loud 'clang,' the two volcanoes snapped apart, and the Demon Sparrow seized the opportunity to fly out of the volcanic encirclement, shouting, "Big Toad, retreat first!!"

The demon sparrow, having unleashed its final attack, completely lost its aura.

Upon hearing the demon sparrow's voice, the giant toad opened its mouth and spat out a ring of venom. Then, it leaped away two or three times and escaped from everyone's sight.

The giant toad had wanted to run away for a long time, but with the formation in place and so many cultivators attacking it, it had no chance at all.

Now that the formation is gone and their strength has been restored, how could they not slip away?

Pan Chengfeng watched the show outside the Demon Sparrow Cave for a long time, thinking that Nangong Tian would be able to kill the Demon Sparrow. Unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, the formation disappeared.

Just as he was wondering whether he should seize the Companion Grass now, he suddenly saw the Demon Sparrow turn a corner in mid-air and fly towards him.

Upon seeing this, Nangong Tian's eyes widened in fury. He immediately activated his escape technique and gave chase, shouting, "Stop it!"

The Demon Sparrow roared with laughter, "Even if I destroy the Demon-Companion Grass, I won't let you get away with this! Demon Sparrow Sky-Tearing Claw!!!"
