Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 682 - 677: The Great War Comes to an End
The Demon Horn Tribe King's command to kill had barely left his lips when the Demon Horn Tribe's army surged forward, like a tide sweeping toward the human warriors ahead.
By the looks of it, they had clearly given up on guarding the altar formation. Of course, they knew that when a Great Power at the Half-Step Void Realm used a secret method to ignite his Yin-Yang Seal and flesh body, the destructive power unleashed was undoubtedly immense. Such a power would necessitate retreat, not just for the Yin-Yang Mirror wielders, but even for Void Realm Great Powers.
"Ye Feng, stop them and try to get them safely back to the Great Wall of Heaven!" Old Long shouted.
Even at the very end of his life, the human leader was still thinking about the safety of his people, even though most of them had chosen to coldly look on without any intention of coming forward to help.
But after all, Old Long was Old Long. He held no resentment and still loved this land deeply. Until his death, he was fulfilling his promise to protect the Human Realm.
Boom rumble rumble...
A blindingly bright sun burst forth toward the altar formation below, unleashing a fierce tidal wave that swept out like a deluge.
This was the culmination of Old Long's life energy. A small altar formation could never withstand it. In an instant, it was annihilated, and even the space itself was blasted open with a hole as the residual energy waves poured into an unknown chaotic space-time.
"Grandpa…" Long Nannan cried out with a face already in tears, her instinct was to rush forward, but she was firmly held back by Sausage Sister who knew that going up at this moment would not only fail to assist Old Long, but could also cost one's own life.
Ye Feng glanced at the altar formation below, confirmed its complete destruction, and with the Weak Water Divine Pearl in hand, darted towards the Great Wall of Heaven ahead.
With the Weak Water Divine Pearl in hand, just a thought from him would bring the rolling river of Weak Water surging forth, forcing the Demon Horn Tribe to dodge everywhere it flowed. They had already witnessed the terror of the Weak Water; even the Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm wouldn't dare to invade it for too long, lest even their Yin-Yang Seals corrode away.
However, Ye Feng knew that the Weak Water Divine Pearl wouldn't hold out much longer. The tiny transparent pearl was already cracked and on the verge of complete destruction.
The tumultuous torrent of Weak Water formed a barrier before the Great Wall of Heaven, holding back the advancing armies of the Demon Horn Tribe and giving the humans time to flee back to the Great Wall of Heaven.
"Curse this lowly Human Race, foiling this Sovereign's plans time and again, today you must die!"
The Demon Horn Tribe King, possessing Sabu Leng, raged uncontainably. A blood-colored crescent blade swept across the sky, and a blood-red Blade Qi instantly tore through space, charging towards Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was startled and quickly mobilized the rolling Weak Water to surge upward. However, even these torrents of Weak Water could not resist the Blood-colored Blade Qi.
There was no choice; Sabu Leng, now possessed by the will of the Demon Horn Tribe King, could exert up to sixty percent of the strength of that Void Realm King, which was absolutely beyond Ye Feng's current capacity to withstand.
Ye Feng's eyes narrowed and he retreated explosively as he swung his arm, sending the small Weak Water Divine Pearl flying towards the Blade Qi.
Bang!
The Blade Qi struck the Divine Pearl, and at that moment, the Divine Pearl exploded. And in the final moment, Ye Feng mobilized the Mental Power Nucleus in his Sea of Consciousness, directing the torrents of Weak Water entirely towards the Blade Qi. Only thus could he resist and counteract the Blade Qi.
The Demon Horn Tribe watched in mild astonishment, clearly not expecting Ye Feng to be able to withstand. Grinding his teeth, he said, "Who would have thought that you, this damned human boy, would possess such immense talent. Today, no matter what, I will not leave you alive!"
As he spoke, Sabu Leng swung another blade, and the terrifying Blade Qi rushed towards Ye Feng like a piercing rainbow.
Ye Feng's complexion changed drastically, retreating again and again. The Weak Water Divine Pearl had been destroyed and he could no longer summon the Weak Water. The overwhelming Weak Water instantly fell to the Void ground below, where it disappeared without a trace, as if evaporating from the world.
Fortunately, at this moment, almost all of the Human Race had retreated back to the Great Wall of Heaven and Ye Feng noticed that all of his close friends and family were safe. He breathed a sigh of relief.
But the blood-red Blade Qi was still tearing through the air towards him. Ye Feng's expression darkened as the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll flew out from his forehead and unfurled before him.
This Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll was currently Ye Feng's strongest tool, because other items like the Emperor Sovereign Armor and Emperor Sovereign Sword were heritage weapons from another entity, while this scroll appeared to be an even more ancient relic, possibly from the Ancient Era. Its mystery and power even surpassed that of the other entity.
So to withstand an attack from a Great Power of the Void Realm, it seemed only this scroll would suffice.
Suddenly, a tearing sound pierced the air!
The blood-red Blade Qi slashed at the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll, causing the dark-gold scroll to surge violently.
Seeing this, Ye Feng became anxious, hoping it would hold, for if the scroll tore, it would be a massive loss indeed, as it was his strongest trump card.
Fortunately, the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll lived up to its reputation as an Ancient Magic Treasure. Even the Five-clawed Golden Dragon was astonished by it, and the Blade Qi, upon striking it, merely caused the scroll to tremble intensely but eventually dissipated the attack.
Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but soon he discovered that the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll seemed to have expended a vast amount of Origin Energy; it closed on its own accord, and no matter how he tried to communicate with it, Ye Feng couldn't get it to open again.
"Damn it, it looks like the scroll as a magic treasure has expended too much origin energy in defense; now is not the time to use it!" Ye Feng cursed under his breath and immediately retrieved the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll.
Seeing this from a distance in the void, Great Commander Sabu Leng was taken aback and exclaimed with widened eyes, "That scroll... it can actually withstand my attack? What in the world is that, and what kind of magic treasure could it be? It doesn't seem like the weapon magic treasure of that Sovereign of the Human Race from over two thousand years ago!"
Ye Feng naturally didn't bother to answer him; his figure flashed as he attempted to flee toward the Great Wall of Heaven.
"Thinking of escaping? You can no longer use that scroll, so what will you use to contend with me now?"
Great Commander Sabu Leng was irrepressible with rage. As he spoke, he swung his blade again, and the terrifying blade Qi stretched for three thousand miles, reaching Ye Feng in an instant. The speed was too fast, indeed much faster than Ye Feng's movement technique.
"Damn this speed, it's almost catching up, there's simply not enough time to get back to the Great Wall of Heaven!" Ye Feng bit his teeth in silence.
At this moment, his most powerful trump card could no longer be employed, and what was even worse was that the Emperor Sovereign Armor had sustained varying degrees of damage, making it incredibly difficult to withstand this next strike of horrifying blade Qi.
However, since he couldn't escape smoothly, Ye Feng could only stop and prepare to burn all the acupoints in his body.
Just then, beams of divine light suddenly burst forth from Old Man with Red Nose, and his entire form transformed into a blazing flame in an instant, resembling a fiery sun.
He was burning his Threefold Yin-Yang Seal as well!
The brilliant sun, shining with resplendent golden light, swept over directly and stood firm in front of Ye Feng.
Ye Feng couldn't help but roar, "Red-Nosed old man, no... you can't do this, I won't allow it!"
However, Old Man with Red Nose turned his head with a smile and reassured him, "Don't worry, child, I'm doing this willingly for you; don't feel burdened. Truly, I entrust the Human Race to you from now on. Protect the Good Person Realm, protect our homeland!"
With those words, Old Man with Red Nose completely transformed into a dazzling sun, shooting across the sky like a meteor towards the invading Demon Horn Tribe.
The radiant sun instantly annihilated the blood-red blade Qi and then charged towards the Demon Horn Tribe Army, which caused all of the powerful Demon Horn beings to flee in terror.
"Damn you, all you old human fossils, one after the other truly heedless of your own lives!"
Great Commander Sabu Leng roared furiously; the tendrils atop his head suddenly burst with dazzling black light that shot up to the heavens, then condensed into a pitch-black, fearsome Great Hand in the void.
The Great Hand came crashing down in an instant and extinguished Old Man with Red Nose's golden sun on the spot.
Upon witnessing this, Ye Feng, without any hesitation, employed his movement technique and hurriedly flew back, finally returning to the Great Wall of Heaven.
Then came Elder Huang Niu, clutching two bottles in his hands and somersaulting back, also escaping and landing beside Ye Feng.
Of course, they were the last to return. There were still a few human warriors scattered about who couldn't make it back and were consequently killed by the Demon Horn Tribe Army.
The vast expanse of void outside the Great Wall of Heaven quickly fell silent, a stillness after a great battle, but within this calm lay a crushing oppression, for the land was littered with corpses in a gruesome scene.
At this very moment, the Gate of Whirlpool was no longer allowing Demon Horn Tribe soldiers to pour through, as there was no longer a need; the battle had concluded, and the Altar Formation had been thoroughly destroyed. With the Great Wall of Heaven acting as a natural barrier, the demon forces simply could not attack, at least not for now.
Moreover, what was even more crucial was that such a ferocious battle had left this space extremely unstable, with signs of collapse appearing in many of the surrounding areas, especially the Gate of Whirlpool, which seemed unable to sustain itself much longer.
Great Commander Sabu Leng, his face filled with reluctance, cursed, "Damn it, how infuriating! These lowly humans, they actually dare to stand against our noble Demon Horn Tribe, they even dare to resist us; it's outrageous!"
Grand Commander Orio cursed as well, "It's truly damnable— the materials for the Altar Formation took us thirty whole years to gather. Now that it's destroyed, it means we won't be able to set up another one in a short period. At the very least, it won't be possible within the next fifteen years!"
"Within fifteen years, the Great Wall of Heaven in the Human Realm can only sustain for another two years at most. After two years, it must fall. By then, we would have no need to set up another Altar Formation!" another Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm spoke with a deep hum.
Great Commander Sabu Leng spoke begrudgingly, "The battlefront ahead is pressing, and the other major clans are pressuring and attacking our Demon Horn Tribe. We had hoped to open a breach from the human side; now it seems we must postpone until two years later. How infuriating, our plans are completely disrupted!"
Grand Commander Orio glanced at the Gate of Whirlpool and couldn't help but say, "King, this space is now extremely unstable. We better return quickly, and the Gate of Whirlpool's energy won't last much longer. If we do not go back now, I'm afraid we will all be left behind here!"
"All right, we'll invade the Human Realm again two years later. By then I will kill all these humans for today's events. I'll turn all the human beauties into female slaves for our Demon Horn Tribe and send their men to the front lines as laborers!"
Great Commander Sabu Leng snorted coldly, then waved his hand and declared loudly, "Retreat, return!"
In moments, the Demon Horn Tribe Army individually rushed towards the transportation gate of the Whirlpool, retreating to the Alien Space-Time of the Demon Horn Tribe.
