The thunderous boom was incessant, those feathered arrows falling on the battle puppets, setting off violent explosions.

Even though the feathered arrows completely covered the battle puppets' bodies, and even though all the energy within those arrows burst forth, they still could not leave any marks on them.

At the same time, countless fireballs lit up the sky.

Those were signal flares released by the Devil Clan here, signaling to nearby members of their kind to come for rescue.

Seeing the flares lighting up the sky, Duan Gujin frowned, knowing that today's battle was most likely going to be a tough fight.

He gritted his teeth and immediately launched the Extreme Thunder Dragon towards those Devil Clansmen to slay them.

Many Devil Clansmen wanted to dodge and avoid the Thunder Dragon he released, but it moved so fast they couldn't evade in time.

Those Devil Clansmen that couldn't dodge in time exploded once encircled by the Thunder Dragon.

In a very short span of time, quite a few Devil Clansmen were annihilated by the Thunder Dragon.

Most of these Devil Clansmen possessed Martial Sect or Martial Emperor Realm cultivation; their strength was nowhere near that of the Lotus Avatar, and even though there was no Gravity Suppression from the Endless Canyon here, their lower cultivation meant slower dodging.

Therefore, they were even more easily struck by the Thunder Dragon.

Duan Gujin went on a killing spree, charging and rampaging through, slaughtering a considerable number of Devil Clansmen wherever he went.

A large swath of Devil Clansmen lay dead on the ground.

Suddenly, his Divine Sense detected a Devil Clan troop of about a thousand nearby.

The Devil Clan troop was divided into ten well-ordered squares, each emanating a thick killing aura.

"It seems that the Devil Clan troops arriving now are elite troops!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath. He quickly drank the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk that he had been holding in his mouth, and then dripped another drop from his storage ring before holding it in his mouth again.

He knew that today's battle here was definitely going to be a grueling one; he had probably slain twenty-one Lotus Avatars before, which had deepened the feud with the Suspended Holy Mother of the Xuankong Mountain to an extent that was nearly impossible to resolve.

Especially in the current situation, where he was surrounded by the Devil Clan of Xuankong Mountain, his only option was to fight fiercely to carve a bloody path and escape this place.

His Divine Sense radiated outward, and after a while, his brow furrowed tightly.

He discovered that the troop of Devil Clan numbering in the thousands, each member's strength was not weak compared to those he had encountered before; the Devil Clansmen he was now seeing all possessed power above the Martial Emperor First Level, none below the Martial Emperor Realm.

What shocked him the most was that he sensed an incredibly intense killing aura emanating from those thousands of Devil Clansmen, a killing aura that stemmed from slaughter – living creatures that had not experienced the battlefield could never radiate such a terrifying and dense aura of murder.

Only a troop seasoned by slaughter could be considered elite.

Duan Gujin had experienced brutal battlefields in the past as well, so he knew that today he had to fight with all his might.

"Kill!"

In the next moment, that Devil Clan troop issued a uniform shout.

The sound was deafening, with a momentum that instilled fear in one's heart.

Duan Gujin's mind raced and he then realized that given the situation, he had no choice but to deploy the Extreme Thunder Sea.

Only the Extreme Thunder Sea could be used for a large-scale offensive.

With a thought, he rapidly executed the Thunder Technique, utilizing the Ultimate Thunder Hammer to unleash the Extreme Thunder Sea.

Moments later, his body was completely enveloped by dark clouds.

His body was suspended in the Void as he circulated his Primordial Power, relentlessly channeling it into the Extreme Thunder Sea.

"Fire the arrows!"

The leader of that Devil Clan unit, upon seeing the opponent hide his body into the dark cloud, thought Duan Gujin was plotting something.

Hence, the leader ordered the thousands of Devil Clan troops to shoot arrows into the dark clouds enveloping their opponent.

The leader was confident that even if Duan Gujin's body was hidden in the dark clouds, the thousands of Feathered Arrows shot by his subordinates could completely turn him into a hornet's nest.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Countless Feathered Arrows were released from the Long Bows in the hands of the Devil Clan, transforming into streaks of light as they rapidly charged towards the black clouds.

Once those arrows entered the black clouds, they were met with the counterattack of thunderbolts from within the Thunder Sea, completely destroyed.

Seeing this, the leader of the Devil Clan furrowed his brows tightly; he hadn't anticipated that the archery assault they were best at would be utterly ineffective.

"Everyone, prepare to charge! One, two, three—charge!"

After a while, the leader of the Devil Clan immediately ordered his subordinates to charge towards the dark clouds where Duan Gujin was.

"Since we can't shoot through with Feathered Arrows, I'll charge in directly!"

Staring at the dark clouds before him, the leader of the Devil Clan took a deep breath. With a thought, he spurred the enormous horned beast beneath him toward the dark clouds.

As the leader of the Devil Clan troops, he always led the charge, bravely at the forefront.

Duan Gujin, seeing the Devil Clan troops rushing forward, was filled with joy.

"Heh heh, I was just worrying about how to capture all of you in one fell swoop, and here you are charging at me together!"

If the Devil Clan troops had scattered and attacked him from different directions, he might have immediately changed his mind and avoided a direct confrontation with the Extreme Thunder Sea tactic.

Now the strength disparity between him and the thousand-strong Devil Clan troops was significant. Although he could easily defeat any single member of the Devil Clan troops, facing a battle against a thousand-strong force, with each member at least at the Martial Emperor First Level, he likely wouldn't last long.

"It seems that the one riding the beast must be the leader of that unit of the Devil Clan!"

Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense and quickly noticed a slightly distinctive Devil among the Devil Clan crowd.

Generally speaking, the one who stands out in a well-disciplined Devil Clan unit is the leader, commanding the entire troop.

Duan Gujin locked his Divine Sense onto that Devil, and he quickly received a response.

"Indeed, it's the leader of that Devil Clan unit! Perfect timing!"

He exhaled deeply as he infused all of his Primordial Power into the Extreme Thunder Sea covering his body.

Moments later, under his command, a sky-covering swarm of Thunder Dragons rapidly charged towards the oncoming Devil Clan troops.

That Devil Clan leader was singled out as a prime target, with at least ten Thunder Dragons tearing through the Void, exploding with the intense sound of breaking air, and swooping towards the Devil Clan leader.

Although he had previously sensed that the front black clouds might burst with thunderstorms and had been on alert, when he saw the overwhelming thunderstorm burst from the black clouds, his complexion drastically changed.

"Damn, it's a trap!"

The leader of the Devil Clan immediately ordered the troops behind to retreat at once, not to advance any further.

But each Devil of the retreating troops rode on a robust Demon Horse, which was extremely fleet-footed, so stopping swiftly was impossible.

This unit of the Devil Clan had trained for emergency braking before, but the results were less than satisfactory.

Every Devil of the troops knew that the Demon Horses were incredibly fast and couldn't stop promptly, so they could only follow the horses a while longer before halting.
