Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 534 - 261: Reversal of the Situation! Great Abyssal Demonic Array!_2

The Golden Crows were formidable, overwhelming the Magma Giant in an instant. It stumbled backward repeatedly, its body riddled with countless cracks as lava gushed forth.

"Damn it, someone come help me!"

The Magma Giant roared, its voice thunderous, as the rage in its eyes congealed into substance and erupted.

Not far away, a pure-blooded Toad Lord had just arrived to help when a sudden shiver of danger chilled its heart.

Looking up, it saw that one of the cannons on the distant Golden Giant seemed to be aiming right at it.

"Shit! You keep him busy, I need to get out of the line of fire!" The Toad Lord’s eyelids twitched wildly as it flashed into the distance, continuously and rapidly shifting positions to escape the Golden Giant’s aim. There was no other choice; the sense of danger was too intense. If that blast truly hit, it would be crippled, if not killed.

"F...U...CK!" The Magma Lord was completely stunned. It was suppressed so severely that it didn’t dare retaliate with its full strength.

It knew the Golden Giant in the distance was just waiting for a moment of distraction to make its move, so it remained constantly on edge. The feeling was incredibly frustrating, as the human before it was not its equal.

After another moment, it couldn’t bear it any longer and called for help again. Two more lords immediately arrived to assist. With the three of them joining forces, the Human Saint was suddenly in grave danger.

Just then, a chill went down their spines as they all felt an intense sense of danger.

This was odd. The Golden Giant was clearly only carrying two cannons, so why did all three of them feel targeted? It was as if they had all been locked on to simultaneously.

"There’s something off with that thing! It can’t possibly attack all three of us at once. Let’s rush it together and confuse it so it won’t know who to hit! No matter what, we’ll finish off this human!" the Magma Lord bellowed. It was so stifled it couldn’t stand it any longer and desperately wanted to break the deadlock.

"Attacking all at once will be too messy. you go first, and we’ll back you up!" another lord said, shaking his head.

"Right. We haven’t made a move yet, so the enemy must be hesitant. If it dares to fire, we’ll kill this human for you before it can shoot again. It’s a sure thing! I bet it won’t dare to fire!"

[Ding!]

[Detection of nearby boasting has awarded the host with +1,666 Mana!]

Magma Lord: "..."

What the hell? Bet that it won’t dare to fire? And what if the bet is lost? Besides, even if this human isn’t top-tier, killing him in an instant is just wishful thinking. At most, we could severely wound him, and that’s only if he’s foolish enough to stand still and take the hit head-on. Only a fool would believe such words!

It cursed inwardly. Each of them had their own agenda. None wanted to pave the way for the others, sacrificing their own lives for nothing.

To put it bluntly, they had always been rivals. Their respective races had even waged war against one another, and they all harbored mutual hatred. They had only gathered temporarily due to the great war and possessed no real trust.

Thus, an absurd situation arose. A Human Saint, who wasn’t even among the most powerful, managed to hold off three Demon Race lords of the same realm. Not only that, but he was also giving as good as he got! At times, he even managed to gain the upper hand!

Whenever one of the Demon Race lords could no longer hold back and tried to break the stalemate, a wave of coldness would instantly extinguish the fighting spirit in its heart.

"This battle is so damn frustrating!"

"..."

The Demon Race lords all cursed silently. In the distance, the Golden Giant sat amidst the Chaotic Qi, utterly silent, like a cold god waiting to harvest their lives at any moment. The pressure on them multiplied!

...

This was just a minor skirmish, a microcosm of the entire battlefield.

In fact, in that brief, fleeting moment, similar situations had occurred countless times.

Wang Xiu, controlling the Golden Giant with two divine cannons, intimidated the entire battlefield on the second layer of the void. He hadn’t fired a single shot, but the scenes that had played out before were deterrent enough.

Indeed, if the Demon Race had disregarded the threat and continued to besiege the human experts as before, Wang Xiu would have been in a difficult position. The reason was simple: Zhenmo City’s energy was limited and couldn’t be depleted all at once. Although Zhenmo City could establish itself in the void and continuously draw upon the power of countless arrays to replenish its energy, its efficiency was clearly no match for its rate of consumption.

This war has only just begun. What will I do later if I use it all up now? Even though Zhenmo City currently stores vast amounts of rare minerals, Lingjing, and treasures, it would be far from enough if I used them without restraint.

But it didn’t matter. Wang Xiu had already achieved his goal.

If it was hard to unite human hearts, then the hearts of demons were no different. In fact, the relationships between demons were even more chaotic than those between humans. Most members of the Human Race, if willing to go to war, could entrust their backs to one another. The Demon Race could not. They fought on the battlefield purely for their own interests and at the behest of the Demon Emperors above them, seeking greater benefits after a victorious war. If they died, they would lose everything.

The slogans they often used to tame the lower-ranking Foreign Demons—like "It is glorious to die for the Demon Race" or "It is an honor to die for the Demon God"—were viewed by the true upper echelons of the Demon Race as mere rhetoric to control the fodder below.

...

The stalemate resumed. The powerhouses of the Demon Race no longer held the absolute upper hand; under the invisible threat of Zhenmo City, they even began to show signs of decline.

In the void, battles raged wave after wave. Countless runes transformed into a vast ocean, sweeping across the battlefield and creating turbulent surges.

"It seems you no longer have any advantage to speak of!"

The third layer of the void was eerily silent.
