Just as Ye Jingyu, who had been terrifying countless demons with the Twelve Heavenly Witch Annihilation Array, suddenly saw a flash of light in the sky, followed by the immediate manifestation of a gaunt figure, from whose mouth spurted a stream of crimson blood.

Ye Jingyu felt a sharp pain in his heart—could Dugu Bachan actually be injured? Immediately following, seven figures also materialized from the void. Though Ye Jingyu didn't understand where they had just been, he knew his master was wounded.

Taking advantage of the demons not yet noticing the seven War Generals, the Twelve Heavenly Witch Annihilation Array fully activated, surging clouds of dark energy instantly enveloping the seven generals and his master.

However, the aura of the seven War Generals was still sensed by the demons below. Seeing their generals unharmed, these demons overcame their fear and began shouting, charging toward Storm City.

"It's just breaking an array! Can't our own kind, who are so powerful, not withstand it?"

Ye Jingyu had already reached the Desolate Tier cultivation level, and the power of the Twelve Heavenly Witch Annihilation Array was amplified tenfold. As these demons rushed into the array, Ye Jingyu shook the Chi You Banner in his hand, summoning a massive gale that instantly tore thousands of the foremost demons to shreds. Yet, the demons seemed to have opened their hearts, knowing no more fear, and continued to rush forward recklessly.

Shaking the Chi You Banner once more, streams of blazing fire erupted from within the array. Fanned by the gale, the fire surged fiercely, reducing several thousand more demons to ashes.

Seeing so many of his subordinates annihilated by this strange array before a proper fight even began, the seven War Generals let out a cold snort and prepared to strike with full power to break the formation. But Dugu Bachan, who had already turned back, had no intention of letting them succeed. With a flick of his stone saber, a blade of light slashed across the sky, enveloping the seven once more. Having already suffered a loss, the seven demons were not about to give up easily; the dark power within their bodies surged ceaselessly as they resisted the sharp blade light while pressing toward Dugu Bachan.

They seemed to understand that with Dugu Bachan present, any attempt to fully shatter the array was impossible. Fortunately, they still had over a dozen Echelon-Nine experts and several dozen Desolate Tier masters; with them present, destroying this array was not out of the question.

The seven surrounded Dugu Bachan, unleashing seven distinct, peculiar powers that bombarded him continuously. Though their individual strength was less than Dugu Bachan's, he had not yet broken through that final realm, which meant they still had a chance.

Facing the frenzied assault of the seven, Dugu Bachan couldn't spare much attention and could only continuously block their attacks with the stone saber in his hand.

For a time, the eight were locked in a stalemate.

At this moment, several Legion Commanders led the demons into the array. As they began to act, the gales and flames were directly shattered, unable to maintain their previous effect.

Although their power was significantly weakened upon entering the array, they still retained the Echelon-Nine realm. Ye Jingyu and the others, at best, were only Desolate Tier masters. Facing one or two Echelon-Nine experts, they might have been able to kill them using their magic treasures, but thirteen appearing simultaneously—how could they possibly be a match?

Watching the seven War Generals locked in fierce combat with Dugu Bachan, the Moon Wheel between Ye Jingyu’s brows flickered incessantly. He vaguely perceived that the reason the seven demons could fight Dugu Bachan to a draw, and even subtly suppress him, was not due to their innate power, but a formation they were subtly weaving together.

This formation multiplied their strength manifold. If they could kill or severely injure just one demon, it would be enough to break this balance, and killing them would no longer be so difficult for Dugu Bachan.

This was the terror of the Eye of Reincarnation; even with a cultivation level far inferior to these foes, he could discern the underlying mysteries...

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and Ye Jingyu suddenly shouted toward Han Ba, who was hidden within the array: "Han Ba, trap these demons at all costs, the rest of you, follow me to lend Master a hand..."

"Damn it! My current strength has only recovered to the Desolate Tier, and the opponents have thirteen Echelon-Nine experts! How do you expect me to trap them?" Hearing Ye Jingyu's words, Han Ba immediately cursed out loud...

"That’s your problem!" Ye Jingyu snorted coldly, his figure already rushing toward the seven War Generals fiercely battling Dugu Bachan.

Han Ba was furious and about to retort, but for some reason, she suddenly sensed the overbearing aura emanating from Ye Jingyu. The words on the tip of her tongue were retracted, and she began chanting an incantation, her body blazing with red light. Graceful figures emerged from her, revealing rows of stunningly beautiful, naked maidens...

Singing and dancing lightly, these women floated toward the charging demons. Liang Xiaoke’s eyes nearly bulged out, but when he saw one woman completely entwine herself around a demon, only for both to explode, utterly crushing the Heavenly Tier demon, he quickly wiped the drool from his mouth, summoned two clones, and rushed skyward...

As Han Ba desperately activated her own blood energy, bolstered by the array's power, she continuously conjured these beautiful women. Even though the demons lacked emotion, they possessed desire, and they couldn't withstand such temptation. Even the thirteen Echelon-Nine Corps Commanders became entangled with countless women...

Momentarily distracted and spellbound, they forgot what they were supposed to be doing!

On the other side, Ni Bo had already charged out the moment Ye Jingyu announced he would aid Dugu Bachan. Almost instantaneously, he arrived before Tan, the third War General under the Greed Demon—a demon with a human body and a wolf's head. Ni Bo hesitated not at all and unleashed the Seven Steps of Ni Bo.

Beams of light flashed from his hand, wave after wave of energy stacking together, creating a force a hundred times stronger than what had sent Liang Xiaoke flying previously, slamming violently toward Tan.

Facing Ni Bo’s near all-out attack, Tan merely waved his hand dismissively. The golden light shattered instantly, and a massive force slammed into Ni Bo’s body, blasting him away...

This was the gap in realms; it simply couldn't be overcome by fighting desperately...

Seeing Xiao Hei so easily repelled, Ye Jingyu felt a chill in his heart. He suddenly understood that too great a gap could not be bridged by numbers alone.

He immediately ordered the charging Lin Xiaoyi and the others to halt, while he himself continued to rush toward Tan.

After sweeping Ni Bo aside, Tan originally expected this Desolate Tier ant to be utterly pulverized, but to his surprise, he was merely sent flying, seemingly only gravely injured. Just as Tan prepared to deliver a second strike, he saw another reckless fool pouncing toward him, a look of disdain curling his lip. Though he was the weakest among the seven War Generals, he was still a Cosmos Tier master; how could a mere ant like this hope to contend with him?

He was about to casually dispatch Ye Jingyu when he suddenly saw a black iron seal appear in the other’s hand, followed immediately by the seal rising into the air, instantly positioning itself above his head...
