Chapter 631: Array Node
“Ah ah ah~”
Not far from Liu Yu, many cultivators raised their heads and howled at the sky, freely venting their inner emotions.
It seemed that only in this way could the sense of crisis that felt like death at any moment be slightly alleviated.
Although afraid, they resolutely charged towards the distant array, as it was indeed the only path to freedom at the moment.
“Whoosh whoosh”
Escape light cut through the sky, rapidly approaching the direction of Spiritual Martial City, and it was about to enter the faint red mist.
To destroy the array node, they had to get within a certain distance to proceed with the next action.
At this moment, the demonic race also reacted.
“Roar roar~!”
Accompanied by imposing beast roars, attacks from demonic cultivators and demonic beasts tore through the air, intercepting the rapidly approaching cultivators.
Highly toxic venom and poisonous mist, various fireballs of different shapes, and sharp golden needles surged forth.
In the blink of an eye, within the faint red shield, numerous innate spells or divine abilities arose, densely raining down on the flying immortal cultivators.
A rough count indicated that, given the number of low-level demonic beasts in Spiritual Martial City, there were at least two to three thousand spells, most of which were innate spells from low-level demonic beasts, with a few being innate divine abilities from third-order demonic cultivators.
There were even a few magical treasures mixed in.
Although the demonic race suffered considerable losses due to the sudden turn of events, and the number of third-order demonic cultivators in the city was less than that of golden core cultivators due to lack of preparation, the sheer number meant that it was not surprising to see demonic cultivators accustomed to using magical treasures.
“Bang bang bang”
The vast majority of innate spells were simply from low-level demonic beasts and posed no threat to golden core cultivators at all.
As the magical treasures swept through, the densely incoming spells were shattered over a large area.
The gap in "quality" is sometimes hard to compensate for with quantity.
“Bang bang”
Only attacks of the same third-order level could slightly affect Liu Yu and the others, slowing down their approach somewhat.
But due to the difference in numbers, and the presence of several late golden core "experts" within the teams, it could not stop their advance.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths
After several breaths, the teams of cultivators entered the faint red mist outside the city, closing in to within twenty miles of the red shield.
This was an extremely close distance, where they could be struck at any moment by the attacks of demonic cultivators, demonic beasts, and the array itself.
If they got any closer, life-threatening danger would await them, as concentrated fire from the demonic cultivators could catch them off guard.
With a twenty-mile buffer, whether for maneuvering or rescue, the chances would be much greater.
As soon as Liu Yu entered the faint red mist, he sensed changes in the surrounding environment and couldn't help but frown.
He keenly noticed that the space was filled with a faint demonic aura, while the spiritual energy was extremely thin.
Under such conditions, cultivators could not directly absorb the spiritual energy in the space to recover their magical power, which was very unfavorable for prolonged battles.
“It resembles the space constructed by the ten thousand demonic beast formation, but both in range and distance, it falls far short.”
Carefully sensing, Liu Yu flashed this thought.
“These red mists should be harmless; they merely convert the spiritual energy of this area into demonic energy.”
Drawing a wisp of red mist into his palm, the deep blue spiritual light in his eyes lit up as he observed closely and quickly reached a conclusion.
However, to be safe, Liu Yu had already activated his magical power to erect a light blue magical power shield, isolating all the mist outside.
