Summon a legendary demon and destroy them all! (5400)

The Watchers leader is using his own blood to accelerate the opening of the portal!

"Damn! They can actually do that?!"

"Didn't they say the Blood Legion wouldn't descend for another four days?"

Clearly, the development of events had exceeded Cao Xing's expectations.

If this continued, the Blood Legion might descend early!

Cao Xing took a deep breath and quickly said, "Attack with everything you've got! Break the barrier and destroy the blood pool quickly!"

Hearing the order, everyone unleashed their full power once again!

The Dragon Speaker used [Dragon Covenant Sword · Dance] without hesitation. A powerful suction force swept over, causing the Watchers to involuntarily move toward her!

Cao Xing also released [Primitive Cube] on the Dragon Speaker. With the added dual suction force, the group of Watchers felt as if they had lost control of their bodies.

On the field, Assam raised the lady of the lake sword high, ready to unleash a heaven-shattering slash at any moment!

Beside him, Malenia had already flown into mid-air, and Lotus · Sword Dance was charging up.

Including the other powerhouses, they all prepared to release their strongest skills!

They were planning to unleash a single burst of attacks to instantly kill the remaining seven Watchers!

"You can reply, right?"

"I'll take you out in one wave, let's see how you reply!"

The group of Watchers naturally saw through Cao Xing's intentions.

They also knew that once controlled, with the power of this group of experts, they would be instantly killed!

As they were about to be pulled in by the immense suction, they looked at each other, a firm look appearing in their eyes simultaneously.

"Everyone, it is time. Give everything for the human race!"

"Good! Then let's head on our way together!"

"Burn my blood, light up the path for the human race!"

As the words fell, a red blood mist rose from the Watchers simultaneously, and it began to boil in an instant.

It was as if all the blood in their bodies had been ignited, emitting boundless fluctuations.

Their momentum skyrocketed by a factor of two in an instant!

No, calling it a doubling wasn't enough to describe it!

The strength of these guys had even reached the level of the Dragon Speaker and Malenia in an instant.

"Such a monstrous boost? What kind of method is this?"

A look of doubt appeared in Cao Xing's eyes, and he quickly scanned their status.

[Status: Blood Burning (Ignites all blood in the body, increasing all self-attributes by 200%, reducing damage taken by 99%, reducing healing effects received by 100%, and granting immunity to all control states. Decreases maximum health by 1% per second.)]

(Note: This skill cannot be interrupted after activation. When maximum health drops below 5%, death will occur immediately.)

"Blood Burning?"

"Using one's own life to gain 100 seconds of a boost, these Watchers' methods are truly terrifying, and ruthless enough!"

Cao Xing's gaze also gradually became serious.

But he was not afraid; it was only a two-fold increase, not a breakthrough to Legendary!

He could still fight!

"Continue, kill!"

Hearing the order, the dozens of powerhouses under him struck again.

A series of terrifying attacks descended, and dense damage numbers appeared.

[-1346!]

[-2578!]

[-5347!]

[-3428!]

[-3200]

[-6513!]

Compared to the hundreds of thousands in damage from before, their attacks were reduced to less than one percent!

And these seven Watchers in the [Blood Burning] state, like wild beasts gone mad, completely ignored whatever attacks they received and just frantically launched their own!

"Hero Skill, Mountain-Crushing Blade!"

"Hero Skill, Raging Waves!"

"Hero Skill—"

Terrifying ultimate moves exploded one after another!

Even Cao Xing and his forty-plus powerhouses were blasted into retreat, and even pushed further away from the blood pool!

While struggling to resist the attacks, Cao Xing complained, "Damn, this is a bit absurd!"

"After these guys activate Blood Burning, they're all like Saiyans transforming!"

But thinking about it, it was normal; after all, this was power exchanged for their lives!

If they couldn't even achieve this level, what was the point of sacrificing their lives?

Cao Xing thought quickly in his mind.

"This burning state can only last for one hundred seconds. Once the time is up, these Watchers will die on their own, so I don't need to confront them head-on."

"But—looking at the current situation, one hundred seconds is enough for the portal in the blood pool to take shape."

"By then, the Blood Legion will descend, and our actions will lose their meaning—"

Clearly, the stalling tactic would not work.

After pondering for a moment, his gaze gradually became serious.

"It seems I have no choice but to use my trump card?"

Cao Xing had many trump cards on hand.

Besides the Lizardman Statue and the Book of the Dead of Ascalon, there was also summoning a Legendary Great Demon through the Demon Codex!

And releasing Isabelle from the necromancers bag.

Among these, the latter two were naturally the most effective; after all, both the Great Demon and Isabelle possessed Legendary-level combat power.

Facing a Legendary, this group of heroes would be instantly suppressed!

No matter how much you burn your blood, the gap to the Legendary level is still huge.

And the others could take this opportunity to attack the blood pool barrier.

Thus, Cao Xing put his plan into action instantly.

He flapped his Wind Wings behind his back, directly disengaging from the battlefield and pulling some distance away from the others.

Then, a book filled with demonic energy appeared in his hand; it was the Demon Codex!

At this moment, terrifying demonic power surged from his body like a tide, and the codex in his hand emitted heart-palpitating dark power.

"Clatter~!"

In the blink of an eye, Cao Xing's physique underwent an astonishing change.

His limbs became more slender, his height suddenly shot up to two meters, and a pair of pitch-black wings appeared on his back!

After many days, the Demon Form had returned!

And holding the [Demon Codex] made his aura even more terrifying, as if he were a Demon God who had walked out of the abyss!

His pitch-black pupils stared at the group of frantic Watchers on the battlefield, and anyone he scanned would feel a chill on their neck.

The powerhouses battling in the air seemed to notice Cao Xing's change as well and cast their gazes over.

"The power of the Demon race? I didn't expect the Legendary codex of those guys to fall into your hands." The Watchers leader said with a hint of surprise and some vigilance in his tone.

Cao Xing ignored him and directly used the Legendary effect on the codex—Demon's Gate!

"In the name of the abyss, with darkness as the guide, I use the Demon Codex as the key to open the gate to the endless purgatory!"

Cao Xing's voice was low and majestic, as if it carried some irresistible power.

"Ancient beings sleeping in the depths of the abyss, answer my summons, descend to this world, and fight for me!"

"Rumble!"

As the incantation was chanted, the Demon Codex in his hand suddenly erupted with a monstrous demonic energy that shot straight into the sky!

In the sky, a huge black crack slowly tore open, as if connecting to another world.

Endless black energy surged, as if countless eyes were peeking and watching everyone, making one's hair stand on end.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Rampant laughter echoed, carrying endless majesty and pressure.

The next moment, a huge palm protruded from the crack, the palm covered in pitch-black scales, with fingertips like sharp blades.

Immediately after, a massive figure slowly walked out of the crack.

It was a demon over ten meters tall, covered in heavy black armor, with ancient runes carved on the armor, emitting a suffocating pressure.

It held a giant chain whip, and the sounds of countless wronged souls wailing echoed from the whip, as if it could tear souls apart.

Cao Xing quickly scanned this monster.

[Demon Warden]

[Level: 120 (Legendary)]

[Potential: Sovereign]

And this monster noticed Cao Xing in his Demon Form, then spoke: "I am the Demon Warden. Fellow of the same race holding the Demon Codex, did you summon me?"

Cao Xing nodded slightly. "It is me. Now I command you, slay the enemies before you!"

He instantly pointed at the seven Watchers who had entered the Blood Burning state, his tone carrying unquestionable authority.

The Legendary demon summoned by the Demon's Gate only had 120 seconds; during this time, it had to obey any of Cao Xing's commands.

Thus, the Demon Warden's gaze looked toward the target Cao Xing pointed at, a hint of bloodthirsty light flashing in its pitch-black pupils.

"As you wish!"

As the words fell, the Demon Warden suddenly swung the chain whip in its hand, which instantly extended to thousands of meters, carrying shrill wails.

The long whip was like a black chain, instantly hitting the seven Watchers.

One of them tried to raise his sword to block, but the moment it made contact with the chain, the weapon in his hand was instantly knocked away, and he himself was slammed into the ground as if struck by some heavy blow!

A damage number also appeared above his head.

[-51956]

Even with damage reduced by 99%, it could still deal fifty thousand damage, showing the Demon Warden's lethality.

However, this was not its most terrifying aspect.

When the first chain descended, the subsequent attacks came like a violent storm.

"Clatter~!"

"Boom! Rumble!"

The pitch-black chains were swung by the Demon Warden, leaving afterimages; each strike carried the force of ten thousand tons, tearing cracks over a thousand meters long into the ground.

Under this terrifying onslaught, the seven Watchers bore the brunt of the attack, completely unable to fight back against its lashes.

Damage numbers of fifty to sixty thousand floated up in dense clusters.

If not for their 99% damage reduction, these seven Watchers would have been insta-killed in the very first second of the Demon Warden's outburst!

But even so, their health was dropping frantically.

In the blink of an eye, it had already dropped below 60%!

Cao Xing seemed to see the hope of finishing them off!

He said quickly, "Hurry, focus all fire to insta-kill them first, then attack the Blood Pool!"

Although these Watchers had a 99% damage reduction, Cao Xing had over forty powerhouses here!

Coupled with the Demon Warden's damage output, it wouldn't take long to finish off these few Watcher heroes.

Of course, the most critical reason was naturally that Cao Xing was currently lacking a large amount of Hero's Heart and souls!

If he could take these guys out, it would definitely be a huge drop!

"Clatter!"

A massive amount of attacks arrived instantly.

That area was once again filled with various terrifying energies!

And the health of these Watcher heroes began to drop at an extremely terrifying speed!

68%… 53%… 32%…

In just four short seconds, their health dropped below 20%!

The Legendary Watchers in the sky, as well as the Watcher leader, naturally saw the battle situation below.

They never expected that even with the seven Watchers willing to sacrifice their lives to activate Blood Burning, they were still being frantically crushed by this Otherworld Lord and his people!

Seeing that they were about to die completely.

"Go rescue them!" the Watcher leader's tone already carried a hint of anxiety.

Hearing this, the other Watcher elders all wanted to shake off the enemies in front of them and rush down to rescue them.

However, the Yōulán Queen and the Gray Mist Former King each used their own methods.

One continuously released gray mist, forcing the enemies back into the battlefield.

The other lightly tapped a finger, and deep blue petals bloomed in the air, growing into a massive amount of vines.

Binding these Watcher elders tightly, not giving them any chance to escape.

At this moment, Cao Xing was still leading the Demon Warden and a host of other masters and heroes to frantically attack the Watchers below.

Under their output, in the blink of an eye, the health of these Watchers dropped below 10% again!

The sense of impending death assaulted them, causing them to let out continuous angry roars.

"Damn it! How can we fall here!?"

"Blood Burning! Break through for me!"

"Arghhh! I haven't completed the leader's orders yet!"

The crazy shouting continued.

But they could only watch helplessly as their health points rapidly flowed away.

In the sky, those Legendary Watchers, and even their leader, tried several times to rush down to rescue them, but were held back tightly!

When the last wave of attacks from Cao Xing and his group arrived.

All shouting came to an abrupt halt.

Seven corpses collapsed simultaneously.

In just ten seconds, these seven Hero-level powerhouses were all killed!

A large number of kill notifications appeared before Cao Xing.

[Your territory member: Braum Ironwall successfully killed Watcher hero: Vito Barnes lv94, Tier 10 Dominion-level creature, gained experience points: 10340000 (Pale Tree bonus)]

[Your affiliated lord: Liu Muxue successfully killed Watcher hero: Graham Jones lv81, Tier 9 Commander-level creature, gained experience points: 0]

[You successfully killed Watcher hero: Blair Pierce lv88, Tier 9 Commander-level creature, gained experience points: 0]

[Your—]

Clearly, this was the most heroes Cao Xing had ever taken out in history!

Besides the massive experience points, which caused Braum to level up on the spot.

These heroes also dropped a massive amount of loot!

Cao Xing had already seen the souls, Hero's Heart, and blood of powerhouses scattered on the ground!

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve into an arc.

"It seems that when I go back this time, I will be able to have a few more Hero-level powerhouses!"

"For this operation, just the loot dropped from these Watchers makes the trip worthwhile."

At the same time, Sarah was quick to seize the opportunity, transforming into a shadow and quickly rushing over, then picking up the loot on the ground.

Looking at the seven or eight corpses lying on the ground.

In the sky, a look of sorrow appeared in the Watcher leader's eyes.

He stared at Cao Xing and said in a deep voice, "Every Watcher shoulders the mission of letting humanity rise; they are the sparks of the new humanity."

"You have killed so many of us, you have already incurred a blood debt to the human race, and there will surely be a day of reckoning in the future."

"Your name has already been carved onto the Human Stele, and everyone will remember your crimes——"

Cao Xing was speechless.

Ignoring this rambling Watcher leader, he was just about to order his people to continue attacking the Blood Pool.

Just at this moment, a brilliant golden light suddenly blazed behind the Watcher leader!

"Boom——!"

A dazzling golden pillar of light shot up into the sky, piercing the clouds as if connecting heaven and earth.

Within the pillar of light, the phantom of a huge stone tablet slowly emerged; the tablet was covered in ancient runes, which also looked like some kind of ancient script.

"Human Golden Stele, suppress and kill the rebel!" The Watcher leader's voice resounded through heaven and earth like thunder.

The next moment, that golden phantom of the stone tablet rushed violently towards Cao Xing!

Wherever the tablet passed, space seemed to be torn apart, and the golden light swept over like a tide, carrying the power to destroy everything.

Cao Xing's pupils contracted; he could feel the terror of this power, as if even his soul was about to be crushed!

Under such an attack, there was simply no possibility of blocking it!

At the critical moment, he shouted without hesitation, "Demon Warden, save me!"

As the words fell, that massive figure took action.

The chains in his hands danced, instantly wrapping around Cao Xing's waist.

Then he pulled him over violently!

However, the golden tablet inscription followed like a shadow, once again turning into golden lightning and sweeping over!

A split second of life and death!

Cao Xing made a decision in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Demon Warden, I order you to block it!"

Within these 120 seconds, the demons that appeared from the Demon Gate must absolutely obey Cao Xing.

Moreover, they did not descend into this world as physical entities.

Even if they died, it wasn't a real death.

And the Demon Warden also executed his order without hesitation.

His massive body flashed, blocking directly in front of Cao Xing, and then made direct contact with the golden tablet inscription.

"Boom!!!"

The terrifying golden light erupted like the sun, instantly illuminating the surrounding territory for thousands of kilometers!

Then, Cao Xing saw with his own eyes that under the suppression of this golden tablet inscription, that terrifying physical body began to disintegrate and crack, inch by inch!

Finally, with a 'pop', it exploded on the spot!

[-1000000000]

A damage number breaking one billion appeared!

After the golden light dissipated, all the buildings in the entire royal palace were gone, completely turned into ruins.

Everyone looked at this scene in shock.

Cao Xing gasped sharply!

The Watcher leader's strike was simply too terrifying; even the Legendary-level Demon Warden was insta-killed on the spot.

If it were him, he wouldn't be able to block it either.

But fortunately, he had found a Legendary-level scapegoat.

After coming back to his senses, Cao Xing continued to order, "Now everyone start attacking the barrier, blow up the Blood Pool!"

"Boom!!"

Everyone also recovered from the Watcher leader's strike just now and frantically outputted damage against the barrier covering the Blood Pool.

Sword auras, arrows, and magic landed on it, stirring up ripples.

The durability of this barrier was quite astonishing.

A full 150 million durability, and it also had limit-breaking runes.

Attacks below Tier 6 would be completely immune; under normal circumstances, it would take a lot of time to break it.

But fortunately, Cao Xing didn't bring anyone below Tier 7 this time.

"Boom! Boom!"

Violent explosions rang out continuously.

The barrier's durability was also dropping frantically.

80 million… 70 million…

60 million…

Seeing that, the barrier's durability had already dropped to around 50 million.

Just at this moment, Cao Xing suddenly felt a creeping sensation in his heart!

He stopped his actions instantly, looked around vigilantly, and looked up at the sky above.

However, all the Legendary Watchers were currently in a great battle with the Ice Crystal King and the others.

Even the Watcher leader was being held back with all his might by the old clan leader, not letting him interfere with Cao Xing's side again.

"Could it be my imagination?" Cao Xing said with a strange expression.

And just at this moment, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura faintly coming from the front!

This aura seemed to be coming from inside the barrier.

He looked over instantly.

However, apart from a hazy blood mist and that faint, flickering door, there was nothing unusual.

But Cao Xing trusted his sixth sense; there was definitely a problem ahead!

Therefore, he quickly ordered, "Everyone, retreat!"

(PS: There are quite a lot of things involved, it won't be finished in these two days, readers please be patient.)
