Chapter 160 The Strongest Clone
Over the next few days, Zhou Ning consolidated his Nascent Soul stage cultivation while assisting Yan Chixia in reinforcing the defenses of Qingfeng City.
He poured his Nascent Soul power into the formation, making the golden light of the formation even more dazzling and greatly enhancing its defensive capabilities.
Yan Chixia told him that this great formation was called the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation," an ancient formation used to defend against extraterrestrial demons. It was extremely powerful, but also consumed a great deal of energy.
Activating it once requires a large amount of spirit stones and the cultivator's true essence.
It should not be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.
"Master, when will the Heavenly Demons launch their next attack?" Zhou Ning asked.
Yan Chixia thought for a moment and said:
"It won't be long. It can't wait any longer. It must be furious that you killed that Nascent Soul stage avatar last time. Next time, it might come down in person."
Zhou Ning's heart skipped a beat: "Just how powerful is the Heavenly Demon's true form?"
Yan Chixia was silent for a moment, then said:
"It's at least at the Dao Integration stage, or even higher. I haven't seen it with my own eyes. But ancient records say that when the true form of the Heavenly Demon descends, the heavens and earth change color, and the sun and moon lose their light. Ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators are like ants in its presence."
Zhou Ning clenched his fist: "Then what should we do?"
Yan Chixia said:
"Improve yourself. At the same time, make use of the power of the grand formation. The Zhou Tian Star Array is a legacy left by ancient immortals and gods, and it has a natural restraining effect on the Heavenly Demon. As long as the grand formation is not broken, the Heavenly Demon will not be able to set foot in Qingfeng City."
Zhou Ning nodded: "This disciple understands."
On this day, the sky was overcast and dark clouds hung low.
The black fog in the north thickened again, churning and rolling like boiling ink.
In the mist, countless dark figures writhe and utter low growls.
They were denser and more frantic than before, as if waiting for something.
On the city wall, the guards stood ready.
Han Wei stood at the front, holding a long sword in his hand, his face solemn.
Behind him were five hundred guards from the Demon Suppression Division and two hundred righteous disciples.
Everyone gripped their weapons tightly, their gazes fixed firmly on the north.
"Young Master Zhou, they're coming," Han Wei said.
Zhou Ning nodded and gripped the Qingfeng sword tightly.
His divine sense had already spread out, covering an area of hundreds of thousands of feet in radius.
He could sense that behind those dark figures, a huge crack was slowly opening.
Within the crack, an extremely powerful evil aura was surging, more than ten times stronger than the previous Nascent Soul stage clone.
"This is the true avatar of the Heavenly Demon, and it's on a completely different level from before." Zhou Ning took a deep breath.
Yan Chixia walked to his side, holding the ancient longsword in her hand.
His expression was calm, but there was a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
"Zhou Ning, activate the grand formation."
Zhou Ning nodded, took out the control core jade talisman of the great formation, and poured his primordial spirit power into it.
The jade talisman emitted a dazzling golden light, resonating with the nine spirit stones in the city center.
The ground of Qingfeng City trembled violently, and the runes on the city walls lit up with a dazzling golden light, enveloping the entire city in a golden light shield.
The Zhou Tian Star Array has been activated.
The golden light grew stronger and brighter, dispelling all the surrounding darkness.
The dark figures in the mist, illuminated by the golden light, emitted sharp screechs and vanished into black smoke.
Just then, a deafening roar came from the north.
The sound was like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, causing the city walls to tremble.
A huge black shadow slowly emerged from the crack.
The dark figure was about ten feet tall, completely black, with no facial features, only a pair of eyes that gleamed with an eerie scarlet light in the darkness.
In its hand, it held a black greatsword, its blade engraved with eerie runes and emanating a dense aura of death.
It exuded a suffocating aura, as if the entire world was under its control.
"This might be the strongest clone of the Heavenly Demon."
Yan Chixia's voice was deep and solemn.
The Heavenly Demon emerged from the rift, its scarlet eyes fixed on Qingfeng City.
Its lips curled up slightly, revealing a strange smile.
"Yan Chixia, Zhou Ning, do you think this broken formation can stop me?"
It raised its giant sword and slashed down.
A black sword aura shot out from the tip of the sword, like a black dragon, heading straight for the golden light shield of Qingfeng City.
"boom!"
The sword energy struck the light shield, producing a deafening explosion.
The light shield trembled violently, flashing with golden light, but it stabilized.
Zhou Ning felt a tremendous impact emanating from the jade talisman, which made his hands go numb.
"Hold on!" Yan Chixia roared.
Zhou Ning gritted his teeth and poured all his primordial spirit power into the great formation.
The golden light from the protective shield grew brighter and brighter, blocking the black sword energy from entering.
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Demon.
"You've got some skills. But you won't last long."
It raised its giant sword and slashed down again.
The Demon King's second sword strike was even thicker and more powerful than the first, like a world-destroying black dragon, carrying a destructive force as it crashed into the golden light shield of Qingfeng City.
"boom--!"
The deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth, causing the entire Qingfeng City to tremble violently.
The runes on the city wall flickered wildly, their golden light flashing on and off, as if they might shatter at any moment.
The people in the city screamed in terror, the children cried loudly, the women held their children tightly, and the men clenched their fists, but were powerless to help.
The stone slabs on the street were shaken and cracked, fine cracks appeared in the walls of houses, and some old houses that had been in disrepair for many years even began to collapse.
Zhou Ning stood on the city wall, his hands tightly gripping the jade talisman that controlled the great formation, pouring his primordial spirit power into it without reservation.
His forehead veins bulged, and sweat poured down his face like rain, soaking his clothes.
The illusory image of his primordial spirit in his dantian trembled violently, and the purple-gold light was being consumed frantically, but he dared not relax in the slightest.
"Hold on!" Yan Chixia's voice rang in his ears.
Zhou Ning gritted his teeth and poured in the last bit of his primordial spirit power.
The golden light shield deformed violently under the impact of the black sword energy, like a flattened balloon that could burst at any moment.
But just as it was about to collapse, the light shield suddenly rebounded, deflecting the black sword energy back.
The Heavenly Demon took a step back, a hint of surprise flashing in his blood-red eyes.
"The Zhou Tian Star Array... a legacy of ancient immortals and gods. It truly evokes memories of that battle, and it lives up to its reputation as always."
Its voice was deep and hoarse, as if it came from the deepest hell.
"But do you think this will stop me?"
It raised its greatsword, and the runes on the blade glowed with an eerie black light.
The black light grew stronger and brighter, turning the entire wasteland black.
In the sky, dark clouds surged and lightning flashed, as if the heavens and earth trembled at its power.
Yan Chixia's expression changed.
"It's gathering its strength. The next strike will probably be ten times stronger than the last."
Zhou Ning gritted his teeth: "Master, how much longer can the great formation hold?"
Yan Chixia shook his head: "I don't know, but if we do nothing, the great formation will be broken sooner or later."
