This was the sinister scheme of the Heavenly Court and the major forbidden zones.
How could the opposing forces not see it? The potential of the Town Guardian system was that the more mortals there were, the greater the power of the Town Guardians would become. Sooner or later, they too could be suppressed, breaking free from their shackles.
Allowing the demon race to roam the lands of the Dragon Country was to test the depth of the Town Guardians' strength. Secondly, it was to use the demon race to annihilate a portion of humanity, curbing the power of the Town Guardians. Thirdly, it was to shake the foundation of the Town Guardians' power, making them lose their reliance and completely pledge allegiance to either of the two forces.
As time passed, this army of hundreds of millions of demons drew closer to Fengcheng.
Mortals trembled in fear.
An unprecedented sense of oppression spread.
The Feng Province Town Guardian army assembled fifty kilometers outside the city, in a wild, mountainous area.
Town Guardians stood densely packed here, waiting to see the true intentions of the demon race.
Yan Hongming, holding a spear and clad in armor, had a solemn expression.
He was also in his thirties.
"Da! Da! Da!"
As if an earthquake, the very terrain vibrated slightly due to the advance of the demon race.
"Roar!"
A large number of demons roared and charged towards the Town Guardians.
Yan Hongming's face immediately turned extremely grim, and he sneered, "Indeed, one cannot trust the words of beasts!"
They had spoken of traveling along the streets and setting up camp by the sea.
"Town Guardians!!!"
Yan Hongming raised his spear high and shouted, "Form ranks, defend!!!"
"As a Town Guardian, I borrow your strength!"
The power of the Town Guardians was unleashed.
In an instant, the twenty million citizens of Fengcheng heard Yan Hongming's voice. At this moment,
The vast populace extended their hands.
"Swish swish swish!!!"
Threads of destiny power ascended and manifested, transforming into vast purple-gold might, flying towards Yan Hongming.
At this moment, Chen Jiuyang looked up at the sky, seeing the sky filled with purple-gold, like brilliant, eternal stars.
"No matter how many times I see it... the power of a Town Guardian is astonishing."
"Since Yan Hongming has made a move, it means the demon race beasts have broken their promise, and the Heavenly Court and forbidden zones have tacitly agreed..."
"As expected, apart from our own people, these others are not good things."
...
"Hah!!!!"
In the wilderness, powerhouses were as numerous as trees.
"The Feng family of the Northwest comes to assist!"
"The Han family of Inner Mongolia comes to assist!"
"Amitabha, Shaolin comes to assist!"
"Boundless Heavenly Venerable, Longhu Mountain comes to assist!"
Anyone with a bit of sense could see the general trend of the world. The sacred lands and forbidden zones were irreconcilably opposed. Mortals were insignificant to them, their lives and deaths of no consequence.
If Fengcheng fell here, they might be next.
"...Dharma Image"
"Divine Ability—"
"Hah! Hah! Hah!"
Beneath the sky, it was a brilliant spectacle, the manifestation of countless Dharma Images and Divine Abilities.
"The morale is still usable..."
"These old fellows still have some sense. Then, in this life, I won't trouble you."
For the first time in many long years, humanity faced a demon disaster. Those who participated in this magnificent mortal world showed unprecedented unity.
This brought relief to Chen Jiuyang.
Chen Jiuyang ascended into the sky.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Chen Jiuyang was at his peak, his eyes cold. He formed hand seals, and a great bow condensed from the law of the bow suddenly appeared before him.
In an instant, Chen Jiuyang was about to unleash a move he had pondered for a long time, a move that was already formed but had never been used!
In the way of the bow, he had already created a bow technique that surpassed the Heavenly Will Four Symbols Arrow!
At this moment.
"Rumble!!!"
The heavens and earth changed, drawing the attention of countless people!
A magnificent river of immortal techniques descended!
"Immortal Technique!!!!"
"Eight Extremes Super Heaven Arrow—Seal Heaven Subdue Earth Stabilize the Universe!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
On the colossal bow, three thousand six hundred arrows imbued with laws instantly appeared.
Then—
The next instant!!!
The world lost its color, and all sounds ceased.
These three thousand six hundred arrows transformed into streams of extreme light, reaching the battlefield fifty kilometers from Fengcheng in one-thousandth of a breath.
"This is..."
One arrow shot, and all creation was astonished!
It directly suppressed the hundreds of millions of demons within it.
"An unprecedented arrow formation!"
"Who is it..."
"Human race!!!" The great demon, a quasi-emperor of the demon race, let out a roar, his roar filled with shock, anger, and disbelief.
In this mortal realm, apart from the major forbidden zones and the Heavenly Court, how could there be a human with such immortal cultivation and formidable combat power!
How was this possible!
Thus, the demon quasi-emperor felt he had fallen into a trap!
With just this one arrow, the hundreds of millions of demons were trapped within it, with a terrifying arrow formation to encircle and kill them.
This had surpassed the level of ordinary Dharma Images and even Divine Abilities.
Instead, it was an immortal technique and a move of an Emperor-level being.
After unleashing this arrow, Chen Jiuyang immediately concealed his aura and, through 'Crossing Realms,' instantly returned to Qingzhu Village.
Then, he layered arrays to ensure he would not be detected by beings of the Immortal King level.
In his previous life, Chen Jiuyang had reached the peak of the quasi-emperor realm on his own, just a step away from triggering the human race's Great Emperor tribulation and ascending to the Great Emperor position.
Chen Jiuyang undoubtedly possessed the potential to become a Great Emperor.
However, at that time, he was misled by the Crippled Old Village and Chongming Sea, and never made up his mind to take that step. Afterward, he was tricked into an alternative path of cultivation, consuming the Dao fruit.
This arrow astonished the world!
It also shattered the clandestine intentions of the Heavenly Court and the major forbidden zones, and it was meant to obliterate and suppress these demon beasts that sought to devour humanity.
Not long after this arrow was fired, Immortal Kings from both sides immediately arrived in the sky above Fengcheng, attempting to search for the owner of that arrow. Immortal laws and rules descended layer by layer, but no trace was found.
This caused the Immortal Kings of both factions to frown slightly, and after a moment, they departed.
At this time, the law of 'standing' within the 'formation' and the origin Dao that Chen Jiuyang chose to embody, fulfilled its purpose. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and even Immortal Kings could not find his whereabouts or traces.
This was the benefit of an origin Dao immortal technique.
It was not that Immortal Kings or Immortal Emperors were invincible; it depended on the corresponding origin Dao they mastered.
With such an arrow, it was enough to attract all ambitious individuals from across the nation to join the action to annihilate the demon army.
Many also expressed their gratitude to this mysterious powerhouse.
But no matter who it was, they could not find the strong individual who unleashed this arrow.
And the instigator had triggered his inner tribulation and was currently undergoing it at the spiritual脉泉眼.
"Even I, at the Tribulation Stage, with a semi-immortal body, would suffer backlash when unleashing power beyond my limits."
"Alas..."
Chen Jiuyang was currently suffering from the backlash, with the power of his inner tribulation surging simultaneously, causing him immense pain.
But when he thought of how peaceful Fengcheng was, he felt it was worth it.
