C836 White City Exploded
C836 White City Exploded
Looking at the vast sea of devils below, Shen Jun's expression was not very good.
He was also making a huge gamble.
He was also very nervous.
Finally, just as the Devil Clan took out the Cloud Ladders again and planned to continue attacking the city wall behind them...
Shen Jun formed a blade with one hand and slashed down fiercely.
Ao Xing immediately understood and roared, "Activate! Activate! Activate!"
The Devil Clan's countless main forces flooded the ninth floor of White City like a tidal wave. They were still full of confidence as they planned to continue their pursuit.
However, the Upper Realm had launched a fatal attack!
The ground of the ninth floor suddenly burst out with blinding light!
That was a formation that the Dragon Clan had personally carved 100,000 years ago. It was the symbol of the Upper Realm's determination to fight to the death.
Under the ninth floor, 9,000 array masters with profound cultivation had been waiting for a long time. After receiving Ao Xing's order, they poured all their Spiritual Force into these ancient array patterns.
Seeing the lights that lit up everywhere in the city, Shen Jun saluted respectfully.
"The Upper Realm will not forget you."
At this moment, the Devil Clan army was rushing forward from the countless main roads, alleys, and even roofs of the ninth floor.
All the buildings in the ninth floor also lit up at the same time!
Behind them, the city wall that they had just seized suddenly... started moving!
Accompanied by the activation of the internal mechanism, the sound of gears clicking rang out in everyone's ears.
It was not some impressive mechanism, but a simple self-destruction program.
In the next second.
Rumble!
Rumble!
A muffled thunderous sound rang out from all directions.
The city wall that was over a thousand feet tall collapsed with a loud rumble. White boulders rolled down like an avalanche.
Those scaling ladders, siege towers, and Devil Clan soldiers who were squeezed below the city wall did not even have the time to react before they were smashed into meat paste by the sudden falling boulders.
This sudden change in the situation caused the Devil Clan army's attack to falter.
With the city wall collapsing, the Devil Clan army was immediately split apart. Everyone was a little stunned.
Ye Chonglou glared at them and suddenly raised his arm and roared, "Retreat! Quickly get them all to retreat!"
His roar was filled with obvious anxiety and shock.
But it was already too late.
Rumble!
Within the ninth floor of White City, all the buildings turned into shockingly powerful giant bombs.
With the lives of nine thousand formation masters underground, the entire White City exploded in an instant!
Everything happened too quickly, too quickly, so fast that not a single Devil Clan member could react in time before they were engulfed by the sudden explosion.
The Devil Clan that was densely packed in the city was blown to smithereens by the explosion.
In order to increase the power of the explosion, Shen Jun even stuffed all kinds of weapons and swords into the buildings. At the moment of the explosion, the powerful shockwave blew all the swords and blades into pieces, turning them into countless flying iron pieces that shot out in all directions!
The debris of the collapsed city walls also became deadly weapons.
The Devil Clan in the city died, and the Devil Clan outside the city also fell like wheat.
The self-destructing formation left behind by the Dragon Clan, in addition to Lee Hongyu's adjustment and enhancement, caused nearly ten thousand formation masters to activate it at the cost of their lives.
How terrifying was the power of the formation?
The Devil Clan in the city and outside the city swarmed in order to chase after the explosion. The density of the troops was extremely high.
This sudden explosion had taken the lives of at least a hundred thousand Devil Clan members!
Even more Devil Clan members were hit by the flying iron pieces and stones, and they fell to the ground heavily injured!
The white city was filled with smoke, and the screams of the Devil Clan resounded throughout the sky.
The Devil Clan members outside the city who had yet to enter the city were completely dumbfounded.
More than a billion of their compatriots had died in an instant. Even the cruel Devil Clan members finally felt a trace of fear!
"Retreat!" Ye Chonglou shouted again, "Let everyone retreat! Hurry!"
After being slapped on the head by the Devil Sovereign, the Devil Clan generals finally came to their senses and hurriedly gave the order to retreat.
However, at this moment, there were still more than eight billion Devil Clan members on the battlefield, and there were countless casualties.
In a situation where they were unable to fly, how could it be so easy to retreat?
At the same time, the four gates on the side of the city wall opened at the same time, and seven or eight huge black holes opened at the same time.
A group of fully-equipped and well-rested cavalry from the Upper Realm swarmed out from within!
Shen Jun's eighty-one disciples all donned their armor and stepped onto the battlefield. Shen Jun himself led all the Golden Armored Dragon King Guards to the battlefield!
"Kill! Kill them all!"
Shen Jun wielded a sword and shouted angrily into the sky.
The Devil Clan indeed had a strong and sturdy body, but their disadvantage was also very obvious.
They were huge in weight, and they were even wearing thick iron armor. They simply could not outrun the four-legged devil race!
After the explosion just now, the formation was completely destroyed, and even their morale was completely destroyed.
On the other hand, although the number of people on the Upper Realm side was still not as many as the remaining army of the Devil Clan, and not even a third of the Devil Clan was present, they were still lined up in a strict manner, and their imposing manner was like a rainbow!
This charge did not encounter any obstacles.
Those heavily injured Devil Clan members were shattered into pieces by the flood of beasts, and the remaining soldiers were pierced through their bodies by the swords and sabers from behind.
The Devil Clan had spent nearly eight days to take down the first layer of the city walls.
Shen Jun only spent two hours to kill all the Devil Clan that had invaded the Forbidden Flight Array Formation!
After five charges, Shen Jun saw that the reinforcements of the Devil Clan had arrived. Shen Jun did not linger on the battle and immediately led everyone back to the inner city.
The only thing left was a pile of corpses!
The entire upper echelon of the Devil Clan fell into a deathly silence.
Ye Chonglou gritted his teeth so hard that they looked like they were about to break. His red eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness!
The Devil Clan had suffered a disastrous loss in this battle.
Ye Chonglou did not feel any heartache for the people who had died during the siege.
Those were either captives or lowly commoners of the Devil Clan. It did not matter how many of them died.
However, the ones who had charged into the White City and were chased by the cavalry were the true main force of the Devil Clan!
Nearly two billion people had died in this battle. This was one-third of the total number of the main force of the Devil Clan!
As for the White City, it had only lost the outer layer of the city.
The towering white pagoda still pierced straight into the clouds.
"Hahahaha! Master! We won! We won!"
"Master, this move of luring the enemy into the depths of the city is really godly! For the past few days and nights, we have killed at least two billion Devil Clan people!"
"This time, these disgusting things are going to hurt their bones and muscles. Hahahaha!"
The disciples clapped their hands excitedly beside Shen Jun, and the army below was also filled with joy.
However, Shen Jun's expression was still solemn. Standing beside the city wall, he said in a heavy tone, "The main force of the Devil Clan has not been completely annihilated. It is meaningless to kill more of those ant-like cannon fodder."
"Go and count our casualties. Then, hurry up and collect the corpses, resources, and everything that can be used outside the city. If possible, bring back the broken stones."
Shen Jun looked towards the north with a terrifyingly serious expression.
Before the start of this great battle, he had thought that he had already seen the Devil Clan's strength as high as the heavens. He had already prepared himself for the worst.
But now, it seemed that his preparations were far from enough.
In this battle, the Upper Realm had lost one-third of their Spirit Crystal ballistae, more than six billion people, and the outer walls of White City.
The trump cards in his hands had been completely exposed.
As for the Devil Clan, although they had suffered great losses, they had only reduced their combat strength by twenty to thirty percent.
In this battle, both he and Ao Xing had personally fought the enemy.
However, the head of the Devil Clan, Ye Chonglou, had not made any movements.
If he had personally made a move, it might have been a completely different result.
"Ao Xing." Shen Jun looked at the smoke billowing from the city walls and asked indifferently, "That Ye Chonglou is already at the Horizon Realm. If you make a move, can you win?"
Ao Xing shook his head and said, "Although the Dragon Clan's technique is naturally restraining the Devil Clan, it's still a great realm away. I can at most not lose."
"Got it."
Shen Jun nodded, turned around, and walked back into the Wasteland Small World.
The Devil Clan army retreated a thousand miles and temporarily rested.
In the largest Black Gold Army Tent, Ye Chonglou withdrew his left and right, staring at the main seat in front of him, his eyes filled with nervousness.
After a moment, the torches in the tent suddenly extinguished.
A thin black shadow gradually appeared on the main seat.
Ye Chonglou immediately knelt on the ground, and his forehead hit the ground. He said softly, "Your Excellency, I am fully responsible for today's defeat. Please punish me."
The black shadow did not make a sound. He just quietly looked at Ye Chonglou, who was prostrating himself in front of him.
To be able to make Ye Chonglou be so respectful and call him "Your Excellency," in the entire Three Thousand Worlds, only the Lord of the Heavenly Devils could do so.
In the battle, he had used up one-third of the Devil Clan's main force and a small half of their cannon fodder. Even for the head of the Devil Clan, it was still an unforgivable mistake.
But now, other than Ye Chonglou, there was indeed no one else in the Devil Clan who could replace him in leading the overall situation.
"Get up. Come and receive your punishment when we conquer the Upper Realm."
The Lord of the Heavenly Devils said indifferently, but it made Ye Chonglou's entire body tremble.
"Yes! Thank you, Your Excellency, for your kindness!" Ye Chonglou replied loudly, but he still did not dare to lift his head from the ground.
"I know that you are eager to save the people, but you must not let your emotions affect the great cause of the Devil Clan." The Lord of the Heavenly Devils also said calmly, "Don't underestimate the Upper Realm. There was a reason why we failed 100,000 years ago."
"The souls of six billion cultivators should be enough for my army to feast."
"After the repairs, we will continue to attack the city with all our might."
"The situation at the rear is already not optimistic."
After saying that, the black shadow disappeared once again.
Only then did Ye Chonglou dare to stand up and let out a long sigh of relief.
He knew that the anger of the Heavenly Demon Highness would not land on him for a while.
Then, he looked to the south, at the white tower that was so tall that it pierced the clouds. His eyes were filled with anger and hatred.
Of course, there was also worry.
Shen Jun!
Just you wait!
I will let you watch as your Upper Realm is completely destroyed, and I will personally eat your soul!
