Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 676 - 362: Can’t Hold On Anymore

Not far from Celestial Scenery Mountain, within a dim basement of a village house, no oil lamps were lit, and several figures hid in the darkness.

"Prepare to act, the array of Celestial Scenery Mountain is inward-facing, not outward-facing, it can only be destroyed externally."

"But you must also consider carefully, this is after all the core city of the human race. If you choose to act, you are almost certainly doomed to die."

"We've already thought it through, for Qingqiu! We are willing to sacrifice."

"For Qingqiu!"

"For Qingqiu!"

The figures in the dark shouted softly.

...

Celestial Scenery Mountain, with the liberation and freedom of two great demons, the mountain erupted completely, and the demons danced wildly.

Boom boom boom! The defense array of Celestial Scenery Mountain was violently attacked, complex and dizzying array patterns appeared mid-air, constantly shooting out spiritual lights amidst the barrage.

Inside Celestial Scenery Mountain Manor, Zhou Hong's guards swiftly ran from the backside of the manor to his side, transmitting, "The array has been destroyed, now only the independent operating defense array still functions."

Zhou Hong nodded, indicating his understanding, his expression was calm, seemingly indifferent to the events outside, as if everything was still under his control.

The anxious crowd saw Zhou Hong's calm demeanor and also settled down.

Upon calming down, they thought, this is the imperial city, the demon race cannot cause chaos here; if they dare, someone will quickly deal with them.

The Blue Luo Ancient Dark Water Jiao and Leaving Fire Sparrow's goals were clear—to capture the humans inside Celestial Scenery Mountain Manor as hostages and then flee.

From the start, they never believed that they could escape the imperial city relying solely on their own strength.

This is the stronghold of humans, filled with martial cultivators stronger than them.

The two of them charged directly toward Celestial Scenery Mountain Manor, Zhou Hong's personal guards flew out of the manor, to meet the two Realm Division stage demons.

Crackle~ Green-black lightning covered the sky, half of Celestial Scenery Mountain's sky was shrouded by thunderclouds, this was the innate divine technique of Blue Luo Ancient Dark Water Jiao.

Thunderous Force!

Boom boom boom! Hundreds upon thousands of bolts of lightning struck down, flattening forest and mountain peaks alike.

Outside Celestial Scenery Mountain Manor, a thick layer of light shield appeared, all the lightning flowed along the ground upon hitting the shield, without causing any damage to the solid structure within the manor.

Whoosh~ A downpour of departing fire descended, turning Celestial Scenery Mountain Manor into an oven, roasted by Vermilion Bird's Departing Fire.

The ground outside the manor melted, the high temperatures distorted the air above Celestial Scenery Mountain, molten lava flowed everywhere.

Above the head of Zhou Hong's guards slowly revolved a treasured lotus platform, protecting Celestial Scenery Mountain Manor from the joining attack of the two Realm Division stage great demons.

The guards' faces looked somewhat grim. If it were a one-on-one situation, he could easily defeat Blue Luo Ancient Dark Water Jiao and Leaving Fire Sparrow, but now that he had to protect the manor's people, he could only take blows passively.

It was rather suffocating.

What darkened his expression further was the two great demons, as if they had made an agreement, alternating their attacks continuously without giving him a moment's rest, continuously depleting his energy.

If he didn't have to protect the manor's people, he could retaliate even amidst their attacks.

At mid-mountain, Lu Yu silently watched the outside world, things seemed to have spiraled out of control.

He silently hoped within, that Kuide in the manor remained safe.

Looking at the current situation, ironically, he seemed the safest person amidst the siege of the two great demons within the manor and the siblings who disappeared after the attack inside the manor.

He alone, from beginning to end, was never exposed to the sight of the demon swarm.

Thinking this, Lu Yu couldn't help but check himself, ensuring he hadn't leaked a trace of his aura, then heaved a sigh of relief, continuing to watch the outside world.

He was waiting for the chaos to settle down.

This was the imperial city, they couldn't allow a swarm of demons to run rampant.

Now, it was just a matter of who would endure the longest.

Just as he was prepared to endure until the end of time, a vibration emanated from the mountain foot—a very subtle sense of vibration, but after cultivating his earth escape technique to the unparalleled realm, Lu Yu could sense the movements of the earth.

He realized the cause of the earlier vibration.

Someone had dug a hole at the mountain foot, penetrating the array, entering Celestial Scenery Mountain.

If the intruder had entered Celestial Scenery Mountain through other means, Lu Yu might not have realized it, but since the person entered from underground, it was like walking right under his nose.

"An intruder?" Lu Yu's spirit trembled.

He didn't believe that the powerful individuals sent to quench the Celestial Scenery Mountain uprising needed to dig a special entrance from the mountainside.

Such an approach was obviously because the intruder lacked formal channels to enter Celestial Scenery Mountain, hence smuggled their way in.

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, before a layer of bright yellow earthen glow enveloped him, gradually sinking into the soil.

From Qingqiu, the demon race was advancing slowly underground beneath Celestial Scenery Mountain, led by a continuously tunneling Yellow Spring Earthworm.

The Yellow Spring Earthworm's innate abilities were exceptionally unique, naturally possessing the power to breach most barriers, arrays, and natural substances.

To the Yellow Spring Earthworm, the large defense array of Celestial Scenery Mountain was like a water curtain, easy to pass through.

As for the demons following behind the Yellow Spring Earthworm, they hid within the earthworm's belly, passing through the defense array.

At present, Celestial Scenery Mountain's defense array hasn't been destroyed, so no one else noticed them "secretly" entering Celestial Scenery Mountain.

"Where is Her Majesty?" Asked the foremost demon controlling the Yellow Spring Earthworm.
