Chapter 1188: Nine-star Dao Pattern

“Six-tailed divine fox!”

Ao Lu’s troubled expression suddenly changed as he brightened up. He did not expect that at this critical juncture, such a strong reinforcement would come and help the demon race!

Ao Lu knew about the Heaven Fox race for a long time. However, as for the past tens of thousands of years, the Heaven Fox race had not produced a single strong demon, he had not gathered the members of the Heaven Fox race to join in this battle. Unexpectedly, a divine fox had come—one that was so young!

The Heaven Fox race was born with three tails; their strength was considered the most overbearing among the demonic beasts. With every single additional tail that grew, their strength would increase by one-tier. Four-tailed foxes would be equivalent to Demon Kings, five-tailed foxes would be Demon Thearchs, and six-tailed foxes would become divine foxes—reaching the Demon Sovereign Realm!

The Heaven Foxes had a very terrifying demonic art that could attack a group of enemies at a time. This demonic art was called Bewitchment! The Heaven Foxes could emanate a unique smell that could bewitch people who had weak soul spirits; once a person was bewitched, he would fall under the Heaven Fox’s control.

How strong could a Heaven Fox at the Demon-Sovereign level be?

Ao Lu was very clear that based solely on this Heaven Fox, they could reverse the situation and achieve victory instead of certain defeat by bewitching tens of millions of Heaven Monarchs. Hence, Ao Lu sent a voice transmission and ordered the remaining Titled Demon Sovereign: “All are to go and protect this little fox, now!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Although the Black Deity was heavily wounded, he rushed towards Xiao Fei immediately. The Shadow Emperor—who was also hurt—transformed into a wisp of wind and shot towards Xiao Fei. A fdozen-odd Demon Sovereigns also headed towards Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei had activated her demonic art at the moment she had transformed. She released a very concentrated pink mist. That mist enveloped a few hundred kilometers radius, and all the human Heaven Monarchs within that radius were immobilized; those from the demon race were not affected, however.

“Kill that little fox!”

The Battle Thearch and North Thearch saw that a million Heaven Monarchs had stopped moving and were being killed one and all and the duo instantly reacted. If that little fox continued to attack, all the Heaven Monarchs would have to die. At that time, they would be overwhelmed by countless demons and all the humans would die here.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

All the Demigods flew towards Xiao Fei. If they did not kill this little fox, tens of millions of human soldiers would die in the Endless Deep Sea. Hence, all the Demigods gave it their all as they sent all types of strong dao pattern attacks incessantly forward.

“Die—”

The North Thearch finally stopped fooling around. The long sword in his hand danced as a piercing white light lit up. The spatial zone around him started to crumble as his sword danced; it was like a collapsing pavilion that was falling down and spreading destruction in all directions. His eyes were cold as steel, and he roared, “Spatial Shackles! All of you, die!”

It was the first time that the North Thearch was using his nine-star dao pattern; this was a spatial dao pattern that was a heaven and earth dao pattern. It was also the most terrifying of the spatial dao patterns.

His long sword slashed forward as suddenly, a huge black hole appeared in the spatial zone that had collapsed in front of him. The rate of collapsing increased swiftly, and the Black Deity, Shadow Emperor, Xiao Fei, and the dozen-odd Titled Demon Sovereigns were unable to fly away in time; they were all trapped within that black hole!

As attacks from formidable martial artists could tear apart the spatial zone, it was also normal that Demigods could make black holes appear in the sky momentarily when they attacked. However, the spatial zone would normally be able to heal itself; this was the balance between heaven and earth powers and the spatial dimension laws that served to protect this world. If not—as the spatial zones continued to widen, the entire world would have long been destroyed.

Yet!

After the North Thearch had released his dao pattern, the black hole that was created did not disappear. Xiao Fei, the Shadow Emperor, the Black Deity, and the dozen-odd Demon Sovereigns were all trapped within it, immobilized. The spatial zone around a few hundred feet wide also seemed to have been confined.

“Attack, kill them all!”

The North Thearch roared as the Demigods continued their attacks. Those trapped within the black hole had become live targets; now was the best time to kill them.

“Hmph!”

Ao Lu snorted as black light flashed around his body, and a huge black old tortoise appeared. Its head and limbs all retreated inside its shell as the thousand-feet-wide tortoise shell descended like a huge shield. It blocked the front of the black hole as it was prepared to withstand all the attacks from the humans.

“Hahaha, Ao Lu, you have finally shown your true self? Very well, I will use my strongest attack; let’s see whether your shell can withstand it.”

The Battle Thearch flew forth swiftly as a black spear appeared in his hand. The spear was ten feet long and glistened with a silver glow. It was covered with primitive dao patterns as it emanated a strong aura. The Battle Thearch shook the spear and the spatial zone in the vicinity trembled; it was awe-striking.

“The strongest of the ten cardinal treasures, the Primordial Divine Spear!”

Some Demigods present were alarmed. There were ten cardinal treasures on the East Imperial Continent; the Primordial Divine Spear was the strongest. This spear was the weapon of choice of the Mystic Thearch’s master, the previous Thearch Monarch of the human race. It was the most powerful ancient artifact ever.

Of course… this weapon was still not as strong as the Mystic Divine Saber; after all, the Mystic Divine Saber was a divine artifact!

The Battle Thearch’s spear danced as the winds and clouds gathered. The heavens roared, and the sea rocked. Both he and the Primordial Divine Spear disappeared as they became a streak of black light and shot towards Ao Lu’s tortoise shell. The Battle Thearch shouted loudly, “Demon Destruction Spear!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

This Demon Destruction Spear was a destruction dao pattern among the heaven and earth dao patterns. It was exceptionally terrifying. Wherever its black light went, everything would be turned into naught. There were no fissures in the spatial zone as it soared through the sky. That spear made all the Demigods’ hearts palpitate as they felt its invincibility; it could destroy everything.

The attacking power of the destruction dao patterns was the most brutal and lethal. It was because all attacks were intended on destroying and ruining everything. Furthermore, this was a nine-star destruction dao pattern; the strongest among all destruction dao patterns. It signified the deepest meaning behind all the destruction dao patterns.

At that moment, the entire battle seemed to have frozen!

Many demons and humans all forgot about killing one another as everyone stopped attacking. Their gaze was fixed on this horrifying spear. If Ao Lu could not resist this attack, he would definitely be blown to bits while the Shadow Emperor, Xiao Fei, and company would all die without question. The demon race would also be near its end.

Boom!

The black light struck Ao Lu’s tortoise shell. At that moment, everyone felt their stomachs turning. It wasn’t because of the explosive sound coming from that impact; it was a feeling! It was as if they had witnessed a huge mountain collapsing, that feeling of palpitation that reached their soul spirits!

Slap! Slap! Slap!

The part of the tortoise shell that had been struck by that black light cracked as more cracks started to spread about the shell and reached all the ends of the shell. The black light had also disappeared while the Battle Thearch appeared at his original spot! However… the tortoise shell did not break apart!

“Incredible!”

Not only the demon race, but even the human race’s formidable martial artists’ hearts were gripped. Such a powerful spear attack, and Ao Lu had actually resisted it? Although the tortoise shell was almost completely cracked apart, it did not break into pieces; no one else would have been able to resist such an attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Evil Thearch, Sword Thearch, Tang Shenji, and all the Demigods’ attacks had also reached. They all struck on Ao Lu’s shell. However, the shell still did not crack apart though the fissures and crevices were much deeper; it looked as if all it was going to take was one more hit.

“Pfff!”

The huge tortoise shell flashed in black light as Ao Lu’s figure appeared. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as he looked at the Battle Thearch mockingly, saying, “Battle Thearch, your attack is still lacking a tad; you do not live up to your name as the number one of the East Imperial Continent.”

“Hahaha!”

The Battle Thearch couldn’t stop laughing as the Primordial Divine Spear in his hand lit up again. He said coldly, “Ao Lu, your tortoise shell has already been destroyed; how many more attacks can you withstand?”

Boom!

Ao Lu waved a palm and fired towards the black hole behind him. That black hole was trapping too many powerful demons; it could only trap them for a couple of seconds. In this instance, Ao Lu’s strike completed destroyed the black hole. Ao Lu smiled faintly and said, “If I cannot withstand it, I can just die. However, if you want to exterminate the demon race, you humans should be prepared to have tens of millions of your kind dying with us.”
