Chapter 343: Chapter 58: The Battle of Heaven and Earth, the Sacrificial Altar Unleashed
Heavenly thunder fell, and many blood demons on the city wall were struck into a pile of black charcoal, leaving black pits on the ground.
Zhao Huai swept a cold eye and pressed down several Fire Thunder Talismans that were forming in the void.
Fierce flames burst around him, and a large amount of red steam rose and scattered towards the sky.
In a short while, the blood demons on the city wall were wiped out, and the bloody cloud above the small city slowly receded.
The surviving common people, with disheveled hair and dirty faces, came in front of Zhao Huai to express their gratitude:
“Thank you, Immortal! Thank you, Immortal!”
“Thank you, Immortal, for saving our lives!”
Seeing their miserable appearance, Zhao Huai’s mood did not improve, but he asked in a deep tone:
“Where are the nearby sects? Did they not come to aid this city?”
A stout middle-aged man, who appeared to be a bodyguard, sighed and said, “The sects stationed near Yiling City are all small sects, and they are no match for these man-eating monsters. They have all retreated to the Spiritual Mountains.”
Zhao Huai, upon hearing this, remained silent for a while before saying:
“Flee south. Yan Country will shelter you.”
Dozens of common people bowed in thanks once again, and then escaped along the official road.
Zhao Huai looked at the ruined city and pondered, “Even small cities on the edge of Central State have fallen to such a state, what would have happened to those in Western State?”
With such complicated emotions, he continued to hurry westward.
Along the way, though he did not witness similar tragedies, he could see many abandoned cities with the naked eye.
The closer to the border, the more desolate the scene became.
This indicated that the border was no longer a place for humans to live.
Either they had evacuated, or they had been conquered.
Either way, it was not good news.
After an unknown period of time, he finally arrived at the border of Western State. In the vast yellow desert, a giant city wall gradually appeared, with war flags fluttering.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, the sound of hooves echoed, kicking up a large expanse of yellow dust.
Zhao Huai extended his Divine Insight and saw that within a hundred miles, there were teams of iron-armored guards riding on war horses among the yellow soil.
Through Divine Insight, he discovered that a large group of yellow-armored scorpions had emerged from the yellow sand, their gigantic pincers as thick as a human arm, and their grotesque mouthparts extremely ferocious. It was unknown what they had eaten to grow so big.
The roaring sounds from their mouths caused the ground to tremble violently and instilled fear in people’s hearts.
“Caw, caw!”
“Chirp, chirp!”
Unpleasant bird cries reached his ears, and Zhao Huai looked up at the sky.
In the sky, there were dense crowds of savage birds like bloody sparrows with green eyes, blue-feathered snowy eagles, and strange birds with four eyes and long beaks. Each of them had an aura not to be underestimated, and every time they swooped down, they could pierce through the heavy armor of a soldier.
Meanwhile, the cultivators on the city wall kept attacking with their flying swords.
Once the flying sword came out, it could also pierce a giant scorpion.
However, those strange birds were extremely vigilant. Once a powerful human cultivator appeared, they would immediately surround and try to kill them.
But as long as they dared to approach the border city, they would be blocked by the city’s hidden formation and killed on the spot.
Suddenly, a huge crack appeared in the ground, and a colossal creature roared as it rushed out from the underground.
The densely packed scorpion swarm covered the yellow sandy ground, causing people’s scalps to tingle. Even a cultivator in the Initiation Stage, once trapped here, would be forced to fight until exhausted and die, unable to face them head-on.
As the groups of scorpions heard the roar, they stopped, well-disciplined, as if waiting for instructions.
Seeing this, Zhao Huai finally understood.
Why Shenluo Empire was declared extinct in just a few years.
Facing such a powerful Demon Race lineup, even a fully armed cultivator army would have to be cautious, let alone those stationed at the sacrificial altar entrance of the Western State.
In the end, it’s because the Primitive World is too strong, while the Immortal World is too weak.
“Boom!”
A loud noise rang out, and the enormous creature finally moved, shaking the ground and splattering sand and gravel.
The yellow sand dispersed, revealing its true appearance.
It turned out to be a scorpion king with a human upper body and a height of four or five meters, like a small hill. The exposed male body was incredibly strong, and below his belly were golden shells. Clashing up and down with two pairs of large pincers, the man-shaped half crossed his arms on his chest and looked down at the city not far away with an unruly expression.
“The Demon Emperor himself wants your city, and you still want to resist in this corner, what a waste of this king’s time!”
The Golden Scorpion Demon King spoke impatiently. Then, he slammed his giant pincer with force, creating a large crack in the ground. Hundreds of soldiers could not dodge in time, and were swallowed up by the quicksand, screaming in succession.
“Golden Scorpion Demon King, stop your arrogance!”
On top of the city wall, a red-robed sword cultivator turned into a beam of light and rushed towards the Golden Scorpion Demon King. From the aura emanating from him, he seemed to be at the Golden Core Realm level.
“Humph! Treating me like an ordinary Demon King, you’re courting death.” The Golden Scorpion Demon King snorted coldly, and suddenly swung his tail, sending the poisonous scorpion’s huge tail quickly attacking.
The red-robed sword cultivator flicked his finger, and the sword flew out of its sheath, carrying several red sword qi to block the attack.
“Ding!”
The tail was incredibly hard, and it clashed with the long sword, making a crisp sound.
At the same time, the giant pincer collided with the fierce sword qi but could only leave a few white marks on the golden armor.
With a mocking smile on his face, the Golden Scorpion Demon King crossed his arms over his human body, looking down from above, and said:”Is this all? Just a few pounds, and they dare to guard the city?”
The red-robed sword cultivator gritted his teeth, stepped back, and swung his sword sideways.
However, no matter how he attacked, four enormous pincers would block his strikes, preventing him from touching a single hair on the Golden Scorpion Demon King.
“Damn it, this Demon King’s cultivation is already equivalent to the complete Golden Core Realm, beyond ordinary cultivators.”
The red-robed sword cultivator said to himself.
But he had no choice; he was commanded by his master to help Xia Country in guarding this important city. He could not afford any mistakes; otherwise, countless civilians behind him would be trampled by the millions of demons.
“Elder Brother Liang, I’ll help you!”
Unable to bear the sight, a group of fellow disciples descended from the city walls one by one to face the scorpion beasts as the red-robed swordsman was at a disadvantage.
“Heh.”
The Golden Scorpion Demon King sneered, looking amused. It spat out a large cloud of green mist, sweeping towards them.
Soldiers at the front had touched the green mist, and their bodies swiftly decayed and withered, turning into a puddle of green sludge.
“Don’t come!”
While desperately trying to block the attack, the red-robed sword cultivator hurriedly sent a message to the disciples behind him.
In just a short moment, the blood sparrows and four-eyed strange birds in the sky had set their sights on these refining qi and Initiation Stage disciples. They were particularly sensitive to living creatures; once locked onto, they would not stop hunting until they drew blood.
Seeing this, the expressions of the sect disciples changed drastically.
The densely packed scorpion beasts had surrounded them with lightning speed, including the sky where a large group of strange birds circled.
The intelligence of the opponents was higher than they had imagined.
As if guided by someone from behind.
In the air, a gale blew, and the red-eyed strange birds screeched. The green mist transformed into an invisible giant hand, enveloping them.
Whoosh-
At the critical moment, a gigantic fire symbol appeared in the void, and the red cursive characters grew brighter.
It looked like some complicated talisman, but it didn’t need paper as a medium.
A large patch of scale-like fire clouds emerged, burning the green mist nearly to the ground.
A black long sword paralleled the ground, quickly passing by, carrying thousands of sword qi, striking the densely packed beast horde.
The scorpions didn’t have time to react before being penetrated by the sword qi. They exploded into a bloody mist with a “bang”, dead beyond dead.
In midair, a handsome man in white stood on a dark green longsword, looking elegant and free-spirited.
It was Zhao Huai, who had rushed here following his divine insight.
He had discovered that this area was under attack by the demon race and hurried over.
The surrounding beast horde, seeing him, let out uneasy growls and slowly retreated.
The birds in the sky continued to circle, not daring to make any careless movements.
“There are still cultivators? That shouldn’t be possible.”
The Golden Scorpion Demon King furrowed his brows and sensed something was wrong after seeing the man in white.
Everything had been arranged according to the Demon Emperor’s plans and calculations.
There shouldn’t have been so many cultivators in this world.
“No matter who it is, no one can hinder His Excellency’s grand plan!”
The Golden Scorpion Demon King roared and struck with its pincers, sending the red-robed sword cultivator flying.
It then turned and charged towards Zhao Huai, causing the ground to tremble. Simultaneously, its poisonous scorpion tail flew out, like a flexible rope that could change its length at will.
Zhao Huai drew his sword without a word, as determined as ever. His flying sword rushed out beneath his feet, unleashing a simple and unadorned strike.
Swish
The sword light flashed, fast as heavenly thunder.
A column of green blood shot up into the sky.
“Ahh!”
The Golden Scorpion Demon King came to its senses and let out a miserable scream. It found its tail had been cut off and spewed a lot of green blood.
Before it could catch its breath, in an instant-
Zhao Huai appeared above the Golden Scorpion Demon King. His golden Rebirth Realm’s magic power surged, pouring into his sword, which emitted dark rays of light.
He then raised his hand and slashed forcefully.
Clang-
A deep sword mark was left on the ground, stirring up a sky-full of yellow sand.
The tall Golden Scorpion Demon King remained motionless, as if time had stopped.

After a while, its entire body shattered and collapsed, spilling its foul-smelling organs on the ground, along with its demonic core split in two.
Zhao Huai stood alone with his sword, lightly stroking the blade that remained free of blood, his face as calm as the wind and clouds.
A Demon King was beheaded just like that.
The surrounding cultivators watched with wide eyes, not daring to blink, all dumbfounded and amazed in their hearts.
How strong!
