MTLNOVEL Chapter 407: One-Sided
Boom!
Bolts of thick pale purple lightning burst through the tribulation clouds, like massive thunder dragons fiercely striking down at the volcano below.
At this moment, numerous human-shaped fire spirits suddenly burst forth from the volcano crater, actively meeting the descending thunder dragons and exploding simultaneously, igniting the sky with thunder fire.
Thirty miles southeast, Demon Lord Dong Zhi, watched the volcano under the enveloping tribulation clouds intently, his face darker than usual.
"Shi Ri Junior Brother, don't you think Ming'er's heavenly tribulation is much larger in scale than the usual Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation?"
"Indeed. But with the numerous preparations we made in advance, Ming'er will certainly be safe and sound," the Shi Ri Ancestor nodded and then reassured.
"Let's hope so—Hmm? Be careful!"
While speaking, Demon Lord Dong Zhi's expression drastically changed, and he unleashed his overwhelming Divine Thought in an instant, sweeping all around, while simultaneously shouting out loudly.
However, at that moment, a stern voice suddenly echoed between heaven and earth:
"Dong Zhi, your time to die has... arrived!"
As the word 'arrived' was spoken, an even more powerful and oppressive Divine Thought emerged out of nowhere, instantly crushing Demon Lord Dong Zhi's Divine Thought.
At the same time, high above the sky, an enormous, towering mountain that touched the clouds suddenly appeared, looking very much like a miniature version of Heavenly Pillar Mountain.
The appearance of the giant peak stirred up gusts of wind and thunder, pressing down from the sky towards Dong Zhi and Shi Ri, its momentum terrifyingly fearsome.
Before the Heavenly Pillar giant peak even reached them, a vast yellow light swept down, causing the ten miles of void around to become incredibly condensed. Gravity suddenly increased by hundreds to thousands of times, solidifying the air.
Dong Zhi and Shi Ri immediately felt as if they were shouldering a massive mountain, their bodies immensely heavy, their internal mana operating sluggishly, hundreds of times more than usual.
"... Heavenly Pillar... Dharma Image! Heaven... Ancestor Changdu, you bully too much!"
Dong Zhi, both shocked and enraged, cursed as his Divine Thought struggled to break free from its shackles, instantly spreading around the void.
However, what responded was a pair of giant fists that shadowed the sky!
The massive fists extended from the Heavenly Pillar Dharma Image, their entire bodies glowing with yellow radiant light like jade, enormous as mountains, incredibly solid. Though they appeared slow and cumbersome, they moved unbelievably fast.
In an instant, they undramatically smashed into Demon Lord Dong Zhi's forehead.
Nonetheless, Demon Lord Dong Zhi was a Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator after all.
Even though his body couldn't dodge in time, at the critical moment, a red light suddenly burst forth from his forehead, within which was a perfectly round, crystal-clear red elixir pill.
This elixir pill, fast as lightning, barely managed to block in front of the fist peak.
Boom!
An ear-deafening roar instantly resonated across the sky, its sound reverberating for miles.
Gang Qi surged, the void trembled non-stop, and the residual force of the fist suddenly broke through the air, hitting Demon Lord Dong Zhi on the forehead, causing his whole body to shudder, bleeding from all seven orifices and throwing his internal mana into disarray, then plummeting straight down.
Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Pillar Mountain Dharma Image, a majestic figure suddenly appeared, none other than the Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator Zhao Changdu.
As he appeared, the descent speed of the towering giant peak increased a hundredfold, and the invisible crushing pressure also surged immensely, binding Demon Lord Dong Zhi so tightly he could not escape.
Seeing the situation turn dire, Shi Ri Demon glanced around quickly and suddenly a "pitch black" Great Sun emerged behind him, instantly attempting to break free from the Gravity Magic Domain and flee.
"Hehe, where do you think you're escaping to!"
Just at that moment, a seductively enchanting, soft laughter suddenly sounded right beside him.
Shi Ri's spirit momentarily felt dizzy, but he quickly regained clarity.
However, by the time he saw clearly the two figures that suddenly appeared before him, his pupils shrank to the size of pins, his face showing a look of terror.
"It's actually you... the Purple Sun Double Immortals!"
...
While Zhao Changdu, along with Shangguan Longhu and his wife, launched a surprise attack on the Earth Flame Palace's twin demons.
On the eastern side of Earth Flame Island, Array Master Huang Yu was also giving his all to break down the Mountain Guardian Formation.
Eight Yin Yang talisman plates erupted in bursts of golden light, from which densely packed positive and negative trigrams fell like waterfalls, quickly merging into the formation's fire shield.
Huang Yu's forehead was sweaty, his eyes radiating an increasingly brilliant light, as dazzling and piercing as two scorching suns.
Were it not for the barrier he had set up in advance, such commotion would have long alarmed the people on Earth Flame Island.
Zhao Sheng's eyes flickered like electricity, surveying Earth Flame Island while expanding his Divine Thought to ten miles around, constantly alert to any anomalies.
At this time, his Communication Jade Token at his waist was flickering with intense light, periodically receiving messages from the outside world.
Zhao Sheng had released a strand of Divine Thought into the Communication Jade Token, receiving messages while constantly replying about the progress here to everyone.
"Elder Huang, Ancestor has already made his move. When do we start on our end?"
Huang Yu, busy and sweating profusely, promptly transmitted back, "Soon, very soon! Just wait a moment longer, and the Great Array will be broken!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed brightly, his hands swiftly flinging out multicolored Third-rank Treasure Talismans.
The treasure talismans flew into mid-air, circling around Zhao Sheng. As he infused his mana, they began to activate one by one, emitting various glows of red, blue, green, and white.
At this moment, the forces from the Southern Sky Zhao Family, Ksitigarbha Sect, and Purple Sun Sect had already reached their designated positions, ready to strike at any moment.
As for the Golden Core Masters gathered by the three parties, they were dispersed in groups of three or two, stealthily approaching their respective targets as previously planned.
On Earth Flame Island, the vast majority of people were completely unaware of the anomalies happening outside.
