The Demon Eater Body! According to the records in The Origin, this was an ominous being cursed and abandoned by the gods, born stripped of the ability to learn magic, unable to wield it through personal power. But when the first Dragon Shadow utilized the Demon Eater Body’s terrifying magic immunity on the battlefield, the term was given an entirely new definition!
The so-called Demon Eater Body was not abandoned by the gods, but a terrifying entity feared by them! Demon Eater Slays Gods! With his glorious military achievements, the first Dragon Shadow revealed the horrific essence of the Demon Eater Body to the world!
One thousand years later, at the Battle of Yuncheng, the newly arrived Nine Luminaries Divine Truths once again allowed the world to witness the terrifying power on the Mafa Continent that made even the gods tremble! —The Book of Sand — Nine Luminaries Divine Truths
It was as if traversing an endless, vast cosmos, finally breaking through to the edge of the atmosphere!
Beneath the gloomy sky, that dazzling golden streak of light plummeted like a falling meteor, smashing rapidly toward the mage formation above! The man had not yet arrived, yet the surging killing intent, like a monstrous tidal wave, pierced the most vulnerable nerves deep within the mages of the Aotian Legion.
No one doubted what a catastrophe it would be upon impact!
“Ah!”
“He’s charging through.”
“No!”
All the mages turned ashen with fear. Who could have imagined that even the Dragon-form Sword Qi, which Mo Luo Aotian had channeled with the combined power of at least ten Rainbow Archmage Gods, and which was astonishingly potent, still failed to stop this terrifying monster.
The fainthearted immediately collapsed in terror! Has the end of days truly arrived?
On the city walls of Yuncheng, whether it was Jin Yao, Ji Du Luo Hou, or the others, their eyes were wide open. Everyone waited, waiting for the final impact.
Feng Qingtian, Tong Lei, and the other Prague soldiers clenched their fists with even greater tension: “Go, Xingchen!”
The descending meteor finally smashed down, unstoppable! At this moment, no one could prevent its descent. Having broken through layers of obstruction, it had finally reached the decisive, life-or-death juncture!
But at that precise instant!
“Roar! Raise the shields!” Mo Luo Tianfeng roared, and almost simultaneously, all the mages within the formation instantly unleashed the magic they had already saturated to its peak!
Swish! A blinding radiance suddenly exploded! The entire world was momentarily submerged in an overwhelming, dazzling light! A colossal light shield instantly sprang up!
“Ah! It’s the Giant Magic Shield!” Feng Qingtian and the others immediately recognized it. This massive light shield was the super-strong defensive barrier that the Brotherhood had once used in the tenth level of the Illusionary Realm to block the Thunder Fireball. They never expected them to deploy such a maneuver at this final moment!
And now, this light shield was bolstered by the combined magical power of fifty thousand mages, four Rainbow Archmage Gods, and six Cardinal Priests. Such astonishing magical energy was being used to support a purely passive defense like the Giant Magic Shield—it showed just how desperate the mages of the Aotian Legion truly were!
“Damn it! It’s the Mo Luo Sacred Shield!” Ji Du and the others were even more shocked! Ji Du, a veteran of countless battles, recognized at a glance that this giant magic shield wasn’t merely supported by incredibly potent magic, but was the ultimate defensive magic shield constructed by incorporating the supreme magical power of the Rainbow Archmage Gods. Not to mention Xingchen, even a Thunder Warrior might not break through this instantaneously raised Mo Luo Sacred Shield. Remember, this shield aggregated the full magical might of four Rainbow Archmage Gods, six Cardinal Priests, and fifty thousand Demon Sealing Elite Mages!
At this moment, anyone could see that the mages of the Aotian Legion were fighting to the death in defense. Xingchen was a Demon Eater Body, immune to magic attacks, and currently clad in the Heavenly Demon Armor, his power greatly augmented. But no matter how high Xingchen’s power surged, trying to pierce the Xuanwu Shield—which fused the magic of nearly ten Rainbow Archmage Gods and fifty thousand mages—with his own strength was nothing short of a fantasy!
“Ah, damn it, these cunning Demon Sealing Mages.”
Descending from the high altitude, the moment I saw the Giant Magic Shield rise, I knew the situation was grim. I swiftly adjusted my posture mid-air, executing a White Crane Combing Wings maneuver, head down and feet up, bringing the Dragon Shadow Sword down in a piercing strike toward the golden light wall!
Clang! Rumble! With an earth-shattering roar, I finally collided with the colossal light shield. Like a small stone dropped onto the surface of a calm lake, the massive shield merely swayed slightly, causing a faint ripple.
Ah! My sword-gripping hands were instantly jolted into numbness, and the incredibly resilient Dragon Shadow Sword was compressed by the terrifying impact into a C-shaped arc before snapping taut. The astonishing rebound force sent me involuntarily flying up into the air again!
But I was prepared and swiftly performed two backward somersaults, landing squarely upon the immense light shield!
Although I had used the Dragon Shadow Sword’s rebound force to dissipate the astonishing impact, I felt as if I had slammed into an incredibly hard, scorching steel plate. My entire body was vibrated so severely that I nearly fell apart!
The soles of my feet felt as if they were stepping on sand baked under a blazing sun, radiating intense heat. Considering I was a magic-immune Demon Eater Body, the fact that even I could sense the astonishing fire-elemental energy contained within this light shield demonstrated the incredible magical intensity supporting it!
Meanwhile, Mo Luo Aotian, who had missed his interception, along with the two Heavenly Venerate Daoists, Xuan Yi and Xuan Zhi, rushed back with all their might, reaching the mage formation in the blink of an eye!
Roar! The two Sacred Beasts bellowed and lunged at the golden, shining surface of the Mo Luo Sacred Shield!
But with a boom, they were violently thrown back by the terrifying fire-elemental magic energy, exploding into a cluster of dazzling white light mid-air before vanishing!
Ah! Xuan Yi, Xuan Zhi, and Mo Luo Aotian were dumbfounded. How astonishing was the defense of the Sacred Beast White Tiger? Yet, even they could not withstand the Mo Luo Sacred Shield supported by such potent fire-elemental magic! They were pulverized on impact!
Staring at the figure walking casually across the Mo Luo Sacred Shield, the three were utterly stunned. Although they knew he was a Demon Eater Body immune to all magic attacks, seeing it firsthand now, they still couldn't help but feel absolute horror.
Heavens, what kind of monster was this? The magical energy that instantly pulverized the Sacred Beast White Tiger couldn't even scratch a single hair on him!
At this moment, the three could only stare blankly at Xingchen walking upon the Mo Luo Sacred Shield, unable to move an inch. No one dared approach within ten meters of the Mo Luo Sacred Shield! After all, the fate of the two Sacred Beast White Tigers just served as a dire warning!
Not just them, but the fifty thousand mages within the formation and the Rainbow Archmage Gods like Mo Luo Aotian were equally frozen. Who could have imagined that such astonishing fire-elemental magic power could instantly shatter two Sacred Beast White Tigers upon impact? This level of destructive power far exceeded their imagination, yet Mo Luo Tianfeng felt like crying!
What good was overwhelming power when it had no lethal effect against the magic-immune Demon Eater Body hovering above? Furthermore, the terrifying magical energy fluctuations made it impossible for Mo Luo Aotian, Xuan Yi, and Xuan Zhi to pursue and intercept Xingchen on the Mo Luo Sacred Shield. In truth, no one could harm Xingchen right now.
The terrifying magical fluctuations of the Mo Luo Sacred Shield, while protecting their own forces, simultaneously placed Xingchen on the light wall into an extremely safe position.
It could be said that Xingchen was now free to do as he pleased.
Although they quickly understood the situation, Mo Luo Tianfeng and the others absolutely did not dare to withdraw or reduce the intensity of the Mo Luo Sacred Shield. The mere thought that such terrifying magical energy could not harm that monstrous figure made Mo Luo Tianfeng’s scalp crawl. They absolutely could not allow this monster to destroy the Mo Luo Sacred Shield, or the mages present would surely perish!
Yuncheng City Walls!
All the Prague soldiers were similarly struck dumb by this horrifying sight. No one dared imagine the strength of the fire magic condensed in that massive Mo Luo Sacred Shield, yet it still failed to harm this Fire Heavenly Demon who had just entered the battle!
The Demon Eater Body! Is this the legendary bane of mages, the terrifying Demon Eater Body? At this moment, the Prague soldiers even forgot to cheer, simply staring wide-eyed!
Perhaps in the past, they didn’t fully grasp what the Demon Eater Body truly was, but now they had finally witnessed its terror firsthand!
“Well done, Xingchen.” Feng Qingtian and the others were beside themselves with excitement! Although Xingchen failed to kill the Aotian Legion mages, he had forced them into a desperate defense. Just watching was satisfying and exhilarating!
“All forces attack! Charge the enemy formation!” On the Yuncheng walls, Jin Yao drew his sword and issued the final order for decisive battle!
Yes, perhaps Xingchen could not break through the Mo Luo Sacred Shield erected by the Aotian mage corps, but with his singular effort, he had firmly tied up the Aotian Legion’s most powerful magical force. As long as Xingchen kept them occupied, Prague’s formidable cavalry and infantry could unleash their terrifying might!
In the past, the Aotian Legion used their powerful long-range magical attacks to firmly suppress Prague’s Thunder Cloud Iron Cavalry and infantry. But now, the Aotian Legion’s greatest magical strength was finally immobilized because of Xingchen’s appearance!
That was enough! Once Prague’s troops closed the distance, even the Aotian Legion could not withstand them. Jin Yao had absolute confidence in that regard!
Swish! A dazzling seven-colored light exploded with a boom over Yuncheng!
That was the signal flare for the full-scale assault!
“Charge!” The Prague soldiers, who had been waiting in full battle array, let out earth-shaking roars, surging like a flood breaking a dam toward the massive golden light wall in the distance!
Ah! Is it the final assault? Almost as soon as I got back on my feet, I saw the seven-colored fireworks streaking high into the sky, accompanied by the tidal wave of battle cries!
Looking down at this solid light shield beneath my feet, I was so angry my lungs felt ready to burst!
Damn it! I never expected them to pull this stunt. I had to admit, facing their tight, defensive, turtle-shell tactic, I was utterly helpless.
This immense, golden, shining light wall under my feet! It was like standing on a giant sheet of transparent glass. Through the light wall, I could clearly see the mages, just ten meters beneath me! I truly hadn’t anticipated that they could use their formidable magic to sustain such a giant magic shield that enveloped the entire formation, and even my intense impact couldn't cause the slightest damage or tremor.
The massive magic light shield looked like an inverted large bowl, curving slightly downward from the apex at the center, without a single gap, leaving me nowhere to strike.
Through the light wall, I could also see the pale, distorted faces of the mages below, etched with shock. But more people showed relief, as if they had narrowly escaped death. Yet, every single one looked at me with utter dread.
Even so, they continued to chant silently; however, the isolation caused by the light shield’s barrier prevented me from hearing their voices! Of course, I had no mood to discern if I could hear anything now. After righting myself, I made no pause, stepping quickly across this scorching light wall toward the central area of the formation.
No matter what, I had to slay the Rainbow Archmage Gods and Cardinal Priests at the formation's center on the spot, otherwise, we had no hope of winning this war! After just a few bounds, I reached the highest point, the peak of the light wall!
At that moment, I finally saw Mo Luo Tianfeng and the other four Rainbow Archmage Gods, along with the six red-robed Cardinal Priests, stationed at the formation's center! The ten of them stood in a perfect circle, seemingly forming some peculiar array. Everyone’s expression was grave, seemingly enduring something, but when they looked at me, their faces were filled with shock, yet beneath the panic was a hint of helpless relief and anxiety. Perhaps at this point, neither side had any leverage over the other!
But I would never give up so easily!
The Dragon Shadow Sword rapidly spun, transitioning to a two-handed grip on the hilt, and then I thrust it fiercely down into the golden, transparent light wall beneath my feet.
Thud! A dull, heavy sound! It felt exactly like striking a steel plate with a wooden stick. No matter how much strength I exerted, the golden light wall didn't even show the slightest fluctuation or ripple!
I was furious! Were these guys born with shells? At this moment, I was boiling mad. Da Lei had even sacrificed his life to get me here, yet now I could only stare helplessly at the mages beneath the light wall with no recourse.
Should I just let it go like this?
No, absolutely not. If I couldn't break through this light wall, wouldn't Da Lei’s sacrifice be utterly meaningless? Unwilling to accept this, I sheathed the Dragon Shadow Sword and rummaged through the spatial pouch to pull out a Judgment. I had found this weapon in Nalan Qiushui’s spatial pouch back in the Sanctuary space, and now it was time to use it. If the Dragon Shadow Sword couldn't pierce your defensive light shield, I’d use Judgment to smash it! I refuse to believe I can’t break your turtle shell!
In a fit of rage, I swung the Judgment with both hands and smashed it fiercely against the golden light wall beneath my feet!
Rumble! After violent roaring, the light wall only shook slightly, yet remained completely unchanged. Undeterred, I relentlessly hammered away with Judgment. The earth-shaking booms sounded like claps of thunder, yet no matter how much force I used, I could not shatter this incredibly solid light wall!
Outside the field! Far in the direction of Yuncheng, all the charging Prague soldiers stared in astonishment at the golden figure in the distance, wildly swinging the Judgment staff, relentlessly smashing against the Mo Luo Sacred Shield’s impregnable light wall!
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
The muffled, rapid impacts, like countless peals of sudden thunder, violently assaulted everyone’s eardrums. At this moment, both the Aotian Legion and the Prague Legion felt their eardrums vibrating from the dull hammering!
And the Mo Luo Sacred Shield, which had been utterly motionless, began to show faint, oscillating ripples due to this frenzied impact!
Although the solid defense of the Mo Luo Sacred Shield was still unbroken, the rapid hammering served as a resounding battle drum, spurring the Prague soldiers into a furious charge!
Every warrior seemed to be engulfed in a raging fire; their morale was completely ignited, soaring to terrifying heights!
When did the proud Prague warriors ever have the choice but to opt for passive hiding and defense against the mighty Aotian Legion? Even with the protection of the towering city walls, they appeared so fragile and insignificant against the Aotian Legion’s powerful magic, often paying extremely heavy costs just to barely hold the city and protect their ground!
No one knew how many Prague warriors had died helplessly within those rolling, overwhelming sheets of flame. No one knew the tragic price the Prague Legion paid to guard the southern gateway of the Dragon Continent!
Yes, Prague had endured for too long. What a tragic and helpless situation this was. But today, all of it would change completely. The rumbling sounds seemed to crack open a millennium-old, dormant volcano. Yes, Prague's warriors had waited too long for this moment! They needed to vent, and slaughter was the only option. All the Prague warriors roared madly, as if only by doing so could they slightly release the resentment long accumulated in their chests.
Of course, this was not enough—far from enough! At this moment, the Prague soldiers were like a pack of starved primeval beasts, charging furiously toward the Aotian Legion's main formation a thousand meters away!
Blood debts must be paid in blood! All the anger, all the unwillingness, all the sorrow the Prague Legion had endured in the past erupted like a volcano at this very moment!
Roar! Roar! Kill! Kill! Kill!
Rumble! Rumble!
The insane battle cries! The booming impacts! They intertwined like two marvelous, complex rhythms. At this moment, the Prague Legion was the incarnation of demons; everything that stood in their way was ruthlessly torn to shreds!
“We lost! We ultimately lost!” A trace of unwillingness flashed in Mo Luo Aotian’s gloomy eyes!
Yes, perhaps Xingchen could not yet smash through the light wall of the Mo Luo Sacred Shield, but how long could Mo Luo Tianfeng and the others inside sustain it?
Moreover, even if they could maintain the Mo Luo Sacred Shield for a long time, once the Prague soldiers reached them, it would be a terrible disaster.
Without their powerful magical support, the Aotian Legion now resembled a toothless tiger, completely unable to withstand the Prague soldiers who seemed possessed by demons!
And even if the Aotian Legion reacted, retreating completely at this stage was impossible!
But Mo Luo Aotian, a veteran of many campaigns, knew perfectly well that he absolutely could not allow the current Prague soldiers to close in!
“Marshal, retreat quickly!” Xuan Yi and Xuan Zhi were frantic. The defeat of the Aotian Legion was sealed; there was no chance of recovery now!
“All forces retreat!” Though filled with resentment, Mo Luo Aotian could only issue the order to withdraw!
