Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

608. Outside Gourd City, Eight Demon Emperors Lay Siege!

"Where is the nearest battlefield?"

True Immortal Chongxia was slightly startled in his heart. He immediately thought of Lin Fei's purpose.

"Martial Ancestor Lin, you are leading the members of the Great Dream Sect, I fear..."

True Immortal Chongxia started to say that it was actually inconvenient for Lin Fei to bring the members of the Great Dream Sect.

However, the Eternal Realm around Lin Fei flickered slightly. Instantly, the members of the Great Dream Sect vanished without a trace. Even True Immortal Chongxia did not know where the members of the Great Dream Sect had gone. Or rather, where Lin Fei had taken them.

"There will be no problem."

Lin Fei's words, coupled with the fact that True Immortal Chongxia had indeed witnessed Lin Fei's strength, made him ponder for a long while before finally speaking, "The nearest battlefield around here should be Gourd City! However, Gourd City, despite the support of True Immortals and Martial Ancestors from various regions, and even though there are many, it is the focal point of the Dark Demons' assault. Or rather, it is the front line of their attack. It has gathered a vast number of powerful beings from the Dark Demon domain, thus, Gourd City has long been on the brink of collapse, ready to fall at any moment. Going to Gourd City now will be very dangerous."

Lin Fei nodded and said, "Thank you for the warning, fellow daoist Chongxia. I shall make a trip to Gourd City."

Despite True Immortal Chongxia's warning, Lin Fei was still prepared to go to Gourd City to see those top-tier Dark Demon powerhouses. Moreover, he had come to support the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain. Naturally, he must stop these Dark Demons.

"Whoosh."

With one step, Lin Fei disappeared without a trace.

Gourd City had almost become a land of death by now. Inside Gourd City, many Martial Gods and True Monarchs, all from various regions of the Divine Realm, had come to support the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain, to support Gourd City.

In Gourd City, there was a Gourd True Immortal. This Gourd True Immortal was an anomaly in achieving Dao. An anomaly refers to various flora, stones, and the like.

In short, any entity other than exotic beasts and humans that achieves Dao is termed an anomaly. For anomalies to achieve True Immortality is extremely difficult. Far more challenging than it is for humans, by tenfold, a hundredfold! Thus, True Immortals among anomalies are even rarer.

The Gourd True Immortal founded Gourd City. It has become a gathering place for many such anomalies.

Many of these anomalies, in fact, cannot leave. Because they have already rooted themselves in Gourd City. Their very beings have become completely bound to Gourd City.

Perhaps the anomalies of Gourd City had never considered that one day, Gourd City would face the threat of annihilation. And all anomalies within it would face catastrophic doom.

Therefore, facing the invasion of the Dark Demon domain, Gourd City began its fiercest resistance, halting the advance of the Dark Demon domain's powerhouses right at Gourd City.

Over time, more and more powerhouses came to aid, converging at Gourd City, together resisting the Dark Demon domain.

Unexpectedly, as time passed, Gourd City became one of the most fiercely contested battlegrounds within the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain.

To this day, Gourd City has not been conquered by the Dark Demons. This can be considered nothing short of a miracle.

Yet, Gourd City is attacked by the Dark Demons every day, seemingly on the brink of collapse at any moment.

However, as other areas of the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain fall to the Dark Demons, the situation in Gourd City becomes even more perilous. Even a Martial Ancestor nearly perished.

"Roar..."

The Dark Demons began their assault again. Indeed, Gourd City is not a fortress. And with the strength of the Dark Demons, they do not actually need to conquer Gourd City to occupy the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain. They could easily bypass Gourd City. Or rather, the people within Gourd City could also choose to leave. But no one does so.

The Dark Demons continue their relentless assaults on Gourd City. And no one in Gourd City leaves. Because the Dark Demon domain aims to conquer the Divine Realm.

Thus, they naturally seek to eliminate all resistance. The people inside Gourd City now regard it as a symbol of spirit. They naturally fight to the death.

Thus, a curious "spectacle" has formed. Countless great beings possess terrifying powers capable of devastating heavens and earth, yet they only encircle and contest this small city in endless battle.

Very strange. Truly a spectacle!

However, this time the onslaught of the Dark Demons is fierce. Even deploying eight True Immortal-level Dark Demons.

In the Dark Demon Domain, Dark Demons of True Immortal and Martial Ancestor rank are called Demon Emperors! Above the Demon Emperors is the Lord of Dark Demons. That is, the overlord of the Dark Demon domain!

Now, eight Demon Emperors have appeared outside Gourd City. Yet inside Gourd City, there is only one Martial Ancestor and two True Immortals. What can possibly hold back the Dark Demon domain?

"Eight Demon Emperors; it seems that Gourd City is ultimately doomed," remarked the only Martial Ancestor within Gourd City, his voice tinged with a mix of solemnity and resolve.

"Gourd City has held out for so long, to have resisted till today is already a miracle. Today, we must fight desperately once again."

"Ha ha, then let's fight to the death. Let's see if I will become the first Martial Ancestor to fall in the Divine Realm," he declared, erupting into laughter despite the gravity of the situation.

True Immortals cannot die. But a Martial Ancestor can. Once a Martial Ancestor's physical body is completely annihilated, he will fall.

Although the war with the Dark Demon Domain has been brutal, no Martial Ancestor has yet fallen. But now, it seems that the fate of the Martial Ancestor within Gourd City is more likely to be grim.

"Buzz."

Just then, suddenly, outside Gourd City, concentric circles of spatial ripples appeared. At this sight, many hearts were startled. Is this more support for Gourd City?

But in the current situation, even with additional support, what use would it be? It would be merely sending more to their deaths. After all, everyone is aware support at this time could not be substantial.

The entire Yin-Yang Immortal Domain is on the verge of being overrun. The Divine Realm cannot dispatch more support at such short notice.

"Whoosh."

Finally, in the void, a spatial channel appeared.

"Die!"

One of the Demon Emperors, without even looking to see who was in the spatial channel, struck directly with a palm, aiming to obliterate the spatial channel itself. To prevent anyone from coming out.

"Boom."

Finally, this palm ferociously struck the spatial channel. The spatial channel began to collapse. It even began to fluctuate and became highly unstable.

"Bang!"

At that moment, a terrifying force of a punch emerged from within the spatial channel. It was merely one punch. The purest of punches. Pure power alone.

Yet, this pure force was hurled directly at the Demon Emperor. And with such speed, it was almost inconceivable.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it reached the face of the Demon Emperor. A look of panic flashed across the Demon Emperor's face. He immediately punched back. The two fists collided fiercely.

"Thump."

Finally, in a contest of pure power, the complexion of the Demon Emperor changed instantaneously.

"Impossible..."

The Demon Emperor seemed to see something unbelievable. His eyes widened, staring fixedly at the spatial channel. His arm and body, visibly to the naked eye, rapidly disintegrated. He was directly blasted into dust by the ferocious power.

Yet, among True Immortals and Martial Ancestors, even the top-tier ones, none possessed such terrifying power. To explode a Demon Emperor with a single punch was almost unheard of. Yet now, outside Gourd City, such a formidable being had appeared.

"Who is it? Who actually exploded a Demon Emperor?"

"It must be a top-tier Martial Ancestor!"

"In the vast Divine Realm, there are still strong beings. Some Martial Ancestors and True Immortals might have fallen into slumber, now slowly awakening."

"No matter who it is, to come to support Gourd City at this time says a lot."

For a moment, everyone inside Gourd City turned their gaze toward the spatial channel. Their eyes filled with a glimmer of hope!
