In the sky.
The cloud layer had been raised by several levels by the constantly howling wind.
Countless flickering flames appeared from the void of s.p.a.ce.
There were also faint singing voices accompanied by beautiful blooming black flowers all over the sky.
Occasionally, beautiful girls with inviting expressions would peek out from the flowers, glancing down below before smiling and returning.
A few demonized were feeling tempted.
On the ice, countless black shadows were loitering, apparently not yet in this world, but could arrive here at any moment.
A resounding gallop of horses came from the void of s.p.a.ce, their unified chanting echoed across the entire ice layer.
“”“Battle! Battle! Battle!”””
The beat of the war drums roused everyone’s fighting spirits.
But no matter how hard the demonized looked, they couldn’t see anything at all.
More and more bizarre, strange and out-of-this-world creatures appeared from the void of s.p.a.ce one by one.
But they quickly hid back into the wind as soon as they appeared.
They were soldiers of the Devil Kings, waiting for their ruler’s orders.
As the demonized leader carefully observed this, he felt more and more uneasy.
Even the demonized army was now feeling a bit restless.
The leader quickly grabbed the cultivator next to him and asked: “Are you sure this is a Wind Tribulation?”
“I’m definitely not mistaken, you should be able to feel the immense power of heaven and earth as well, sir” the cultivator answered.
“I can feel the power alright, but aren’t there too many evil creatures here!?” the leader questioned him.
“That is indeed true, I’ve never seen such a huge Wind Tribulation ever before” the cultivator also hesitantly confirmed this.
“Look, they’ve begun to attack that guy!” another demonized said.
“Ah? Really?”
The leader hurriedly looked over.
Within the ghost army’s camp, the four Fiend Kings and three Devil Kings had surrounded Gu Qing Shan.
They all drew their weapons and pointed them at Gu Qing Shan.
It seems the fighting is about to begin.
——so it really is just that guy’s Wind Tribulation!
Watching this, the leader wiped the sweat off his forward and silently sighed in relief.
He loudly declared: “Relay my orders!, those creatures are there to kill him, rea.s.sure everyone and tell them not to act carelessly, or they might get caught in the Wind Tribulation”
As the order got relayed, the demonized rea.s.sured themselves.
On the other side.
The Progenitor Fiendess held a small black dagger, pointing it at Gu Qing Shan.
She told him: 『 According to the Law of the Tribulation, we were supposed to be here to kill you 』
“And so?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
『 So we, as the leaders, must at least attack you once in order for the Tribulation to recognize that we’ve done our job and fulfilled our responsibilities 』the Progenitor Fiendess explained.
『 That is indeed the case, Huang Quan Devil King, raise your sword 』the Bloodthirsty Devil King also said.
Gu Qing Shan obediently took out the Earth sword and raised it sideways in front of himself, taking a defensive stance.
『 One by one, everybody, don’t go out of order 』
The Shadow Fiend King cleared his throat and solemnly said.
It walked up first and lightly flicked its finger on the Earth sword.
『 Done! 』
As soon as it said so, the Shadow Fiend King suddenly disappeared from everyone’s sight.
『 The deal was that; you get what you kill, so I’ll be going first 』
Its voice came from afar.
At the same time, on the West side of the camp, an area filled with demonized people——-
Shadow after shadow suddenly came out from the ice, ambus.h.i.+ng them!
The demonized people’s ranks went into chaos.
Shadow Fiends were experts at hiding and ambush, and this time the entire Shadow Fiend Kingdom’s army had come!
Blood spurted everywhere as cries of pain and rang out.
『 Ahahaha, so many souls! Go, take as many as you can! 』the Shadow Fiend King triumphantly laughed.
『 Yes, sire! 』countless unified voices replied.
More and more shadows suddenly appeared from the ground, each attack perfectly hitting vitals and instantly taking their lives.
Whenever the demonized tried to hurriedly retaliate, the fiends would dive back into the shadow to hide.
In just a single moment, thousands of demonized had been killed!
As time pa.s.sed, the number only increased.
The other Devil Kings and Fiend Kings stopped watching it.
『 How devious, I need to go as well 』the Flame-eater Fiend King angrily said.
It drew its blade and lightly tapped the Earth sword.
Ki!
A light sound of metal.
The Flame-eater Fiend King instantly disappeared.
『 If the Shadow Fiends have taken the West, I’ll be taking the East! 』
Its voice came from afar.
One second later.
Fire rained from the sky.
Flames as numerous as stars in the sky rained from above to the East of the encirclement.
Among the ferocious rain of fire, countless Flame-eater Fiends were mixed in, descending on the demonized.
They quickly attacked the demonized.
Large numbers of demonized people were killed by the rain of fire on the spot!
A few smaller Flame-eater Fiends didn’t hit the demonized, but struck the frozen ground below them instead, causing the demonized to become off-balance.
The Flame-eater Fiends have also begun their harvest of souls!
「 Kah, how would us Asura miss out on such a big war? 」
Saying so, the Asura King lightly tapped the Earth sword with his halberd.
Ki!
As soon as the sound rang out, the Asura King disappeared as well.
「 That bunch in the middle seems to be the strongest, and their leader seems to be there as well——– so leave that direction to us Asura! 」
His voice came from afar.
In the sky, the thunderous sound of war drums and horns resounded.
Large cracks opened in s.p.a.ce.
Led by a white elephant, various types of Asura war-mounts came charging out, followed by the great Asura army.
Drunk from the war horns, they ran across the sky, charging towards the ground!
The Asura King stood on top of his white elephant with a halberd in hand, pointing it to the demonized leader.
「 Come! Fight me with all you’ve got, I will grant you the honor of dying in battle! 」
The Asura King shouted.
The demonized leader couldn’t help but pull out his weapon, angrily shouting back: “I am NOT a cultivator!”
His voice was quickly drowned out by the thunderous charge.
Following the Asura King was his entire Asura army, choosing to go straight for close combat.
The war began with an all-out skirmis.h.!.+
Back in the ghost army’s camp, the three Devil Kings were impatient.
『 d.a.m.n it! d.a.m.n IT! They already stole so many souls, we need to hurry as well 』the Hunger Devil King shouted.
The three Devil Kings exchanged glances and nodded.
They all pulled out their weapons and lightly tapped Gu Qing Shan’s sword.
Ki!
Ki!
Ki!
With three tiny sounds of impact, their bodies turned and disappeared from sight.
At the same time, the devils hiding in the voice of s.p.a.ce seemed to have gotten their orders.
Countless creatures roared without inhibition, shaking heaven and earth.
Waves after waves of Hunger Devils, Bloodthirsty Devils and Malahoh Devils descended from above.
They ignored whatever arbitrary method the Shadow Fiend King and Flame-eater Fiend King decided to divide the sides and simply went straight into killing the demonized army as they liked.
With their partic.i.p.ation, the entire demonized encirclement was plunged into chaos!
『 d.a.m.n you, why aren’t you devils following the rules! 』the Flame-eater Fiend King impatiently shouted.
Not too far away, the Hunger Devil King replied: 『 You got tricked by the Shadow Fiend King. The only rule is you get what you kill, wasn’t that decided from the start? 』
The Flame-eater Fiend King was slightly shocked, face-palmed itself and loudly declared: 『 All Flame-eater Fiends! Follow my lead and charge! 』
It pointed at where the Shadow Fiends were.
——-that was the area with the most demonized gathered.
The burning Flame-eater Fiends immediately began to act!
On another side, the ghost army’s camp.
Ki!
Another light sound of impact rang out from Gu Qing Shan’s sword.
The Progenitor Fiendess put her dagger away and smiled: 『 There, now all of us had attacked you once, fulfilling the responsibilities of the Tribulation. I’ll be enjoying this feast now 』
“Please go ahead” Gu Qing Shan said.
The Progenitor Fiendess turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared.
In the sky, the wind blew even stronger as more and more black flowers manifested.
There were so many flowers that they almost replaced the sky itself, turning the entire camp dark.
One of the demonized cultivators noticed this and looked up.
“No! That’s impossible! Why are there so many Tianma!?” he shouted in despair.
Indeed, the entire sky was now filled with black flowers.
As if every Tianma that could come had arrived.
The flowers bloomed.
Countless beautiful enchantresses with enticing figures and bewitching expressions stood up from the flowers.
They looked down at the intense battles below with glowing eyes as they felt the b.l.o.o.d.y and violent fighting.
Their charming giggles were akin to the chiming of silver bells.
『 What a magnificent sight 』
『 Life and death, chaos and fear, such situations are always where us Tianma thrive 』
『 That’s right, this is where we are best-suited to hunt 』
『 Quit talking girls, I’m already so hungry… 』
The very next instant.
All the black flowers disappeared.
The Tianma girls also disappeared without a trace.
But the scene of the battlefield began to turn bizarre.
One demonized suddenly shouted hysterically.
Some other demonized stood still with strange smiles on their faces.
Some demonized threw down their weapons and knelt crying on the ground.
Some even started attacking their own people.
All sorts of strange and weird situations appeared all over the battlefield.
The ghost army’s camp.
Gu Qing Shan held the Earth sword and stood still.
Intense wind howled as his Wind Tribulation continued.
This was an extremely dangerous Tribulation, one where cultivators supposedly had to face the full invasion of the fiends and devils of various realms for the very first time during their long years of cultivation.
But even after Gu Qing Shan got bored of standing around, there still wasn’t a single evil creature that tried to bother him.
Every single evil creature summoned was busy fighting with the demonized.
Gu Qing Shan raised the Earth sword, then lowered it, then raised it again, then lowered it again.
…this is really boring.
“So this is how it feels to slack off huh”
Gu Qing Shan muttered.
Within the range of his inner sight, the demonized in all directions were facing the toughest battles in their lives.
At this point in time, even if the demonized weren’t able to use the [Demon King Order] to exchange for items, there were still 2 million of them, enough to destroy an entire world!
But their enemies were the Devil Kings and Fiend Kings of 4 Fiend realms and 3 Devil realms together with their full army!
Even more shamelessly, not only were these fiends and devils powerful, they had actually taken the initiative to ambush and attack first!
The armies of 7 realms were ma.s.sacring the 2 million demonized souls, occasionally even stealing kills from each other.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and pulled his inner sight back.
Raising the Devil King Warden Rod, he likely tapped it on the Earth sword as well.
Ki!
A small chime.
As the Huang Quan Devil King, Gu Qing Shan has to attack himself once as well.
“So, my work here is done”
He put the Devil King Warden Rod away.
After silently watching the battle situation for a bit longer, Gu Qing Shan put the Earth sword back into the void of s.p.a.ce as well.
