C92 To Become Stronger In The Battle!
Powerful fire magic incinerated the demons or blasted them to bits. The spells had a wide reach, and the demons fell in droves!
Blues' eyes glowed with a blood-red fury, his movements wild and unrestrained, as if he were the very embodiment of a fire deity.
"Why aren't you joining in, Boss Guangcheng?" Puluo, while tending to Avril and Lin Dong's wounds, asked Chen Guo with a hint of bewilderment.
Chen Guo replied, "There aren't enough demons encircling us yet. Once they crowd in closer, that's when I'll strike."
"Oh!"
Despite their formidable strength, the six of them formed a defensive circle akin to an impregnable fortress, keeping the demons at bay and leaving a trail of their carcasses outside.
But these demons were fearless in the face of death; as soon as those at the front fell, others immediately took their place.
Consequently, the demons packed tighter and tighter, ramping up the pressure on the group.
Avril was especially vulnerable; her plate armor shattered in an instant, leaving her no choice but to endure the brunt of the monsters' onslaught.
Puluo cast several healing spells on Avril in quick succession, anxious to prevent her from retaliating.
Chen Guo recognized that it was his moment to act. With the strongest combat capacity among them, his role was to clear the field of demons when the group was most overwhelmed.
"Ancestral Master, I invoke your presence!"
Chen Guo recited the incantation, summoning the Ancestral Master. This time, his luck was neither good nor bad; he didn't rouse the Three Maos True Lord but instead invoked Lin Fengjiao, the second-generation sect master of Mount Maoshan.
Lin Fengjiao proved to be a formidable ally, boosting the potency of Chen Guo's Mount Maoshan magic by 50%.
Then, Chen Guo unleashed his full power.
"By the urgent decree of the Great Monad, let the Divine Fire be unleashed—"
"By the urgent decree of Primus, let the Divine Jade Thunder strike—"
"By the urgent decree of the Heavenly Worthy of Numinous Treasure, let the Five Gods' Edict come forth—"
Chen Guo executed the three grand Mount Maoshan Dao Arts in one fluid sequence.
The ethereal visages of the Three Pure Ones materialized, bringing forth the Divine Fire, the Divine Jade Thunder, and the aid of the five natural deities.
The mighty Divine Fire cascaded onto the ground like a fountain, extinguishing the lives of demon after demon, effectively sweeping the battlefield clean.
Equally impressive was the Divine Jade Thunder, its dense web of electricity effortlessly tearing through the abyssal demons. Wrapped in the expansive grid, they were fried to a crisp, their souls dispatched to the Western Paradise.
The five celestial gods plunged into the fray, unleashing a devastating onslaught. Wherever they passed, demons wailed in despair, suffering massive losses.
Chen Guo's trio of skills acted as a broom, sweeping the nearby demons clean off the map.
The group's burden lightened, and they collectively exhaled in relief.
Then, a radiant flash enveloped each of them, signaling their ascension to the next level!
With their weariness wiped away and their combat prowess enhanced, they were ready to face the next challenge.
"Wow, Boss Guangcheng is simply divine! With those three moves, he wiped the demons off the face of the earth!" Avril marveled at the now empty battlefield littered with demon corpses. "With Boss Guangcheng as our steadfast pillar, we're in good hands!"
Lei Kun exclaimed, "The might of that magic is enough to evoke the shadows of the Three Pure Ones. Truly, it's like a god's own breath—extraordinary!"
Blues flashed a thumbs-up, proclaiming, "Boss Guangcheng is the real deal when it comes to raw power, 66666!"
Lin Dong echoed, "66666!"
Puluo chimed in, "66666!"
All those gathered were elite trial challengers, each one brimming with pride and arrogance, unwilling to bow to the others.
Yet now, they unanimously acknowledged Chen Guo's superiority.
There was no denying it; Chen Guo's skills were overwhelmingly dominant, clearly in a league of their own.
"Let's keep up the fight!" Chen Guo urged. "These demons have yielded a bounty of slaughter points. A thousand demons provide us with ample opportunity to level up continuously! Growing stronger through battle will only increase our odds of conquering this Demon Arena!"
Heads nodded all around, their confidence soaring.
The demons began to regroup swiftly.
"Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique!"
"Heavenly Astral Battle Qi!"
"Drunk Immortal Moon Gazing Steps!"
Chen Guo successively cast three amplifying spells from the Mount Shu Sect, enhancing his abilities in every aspect.
Regrettably, the practitioners of the Mountain Shu Sect were known for their relentless self-improvement and lacked the ability to channel their ancestral masters. Had Chen Guo been able to summon the Long-browed Taoist, it would have been fantastic.
"Ten Thousand Swords Spell!"
"Ten Thousand Swords Spell!"
"Ten Thousand Swords Spell..."
Chen Guo consistently relied on the Ten Thousand Swords Spell from his Mountain Shu Sword Arts repertoire because it dealt moderate damage over a wide area and had the lowest energy consumption, making it ideal for sustained combat scenarios.
In moments when the demons swarmed in greater numbers and the pressure mounted, Chen Guo would deploy his three most powerful techniques, calling upon the ethereal presences of the Three Pure Ones to sweep the battlefield clean.
The team coordinated flawlessly, fighting with precision and stability. Remarkably, a horde of a thousand formidable demons couldn't even scratch them.
Such intense, prolonged battles should have drained their magical reserves and left them physically and mentally depleted.
Yet, these demons were like walking slaughter point piñatas, generously doling out points. Whenever the fighters felt weariness set in, they would level up, not only restoring their vitality to pristine condition but also gaining strength, making the task of dispatching the demons all the more effortless.
Despite their efforts, the sheer number of demons and their stubborn will to live made them challenging to defeat.
The group engaged in earnest combat, and before they knew it, a full day and night had passed.
By the dawn of the second day, two-thirds of the demons had perished, leaving the fighters with expressions of numb detachment as they mechanically executed their tactics against the remaining foes.
Initially, there was lively conversation, but as time wore on, even the inclination to chat dissipated.
At this juncture, Chen Guo had ascended to level 30, with a combat strength of 730,000!
Lei Kun had advanced to level 37, with a combat strength of 420,000!
Blues had climbed to level 35, with a combat strength of 400,000!
Lin Dong had reached level 40, with his combat strength overtaking Blues at 410,000!
Puluo had achieved level 39, with a combat strength of 350,000!
Avril had made the most significant leap, skyrocketing to level 44, with her combat strength hitting 380,000. The system seemed to recognize her substantial contributions, awarding her a hefty share of slaughter points, nearly on par with Chen Guo.
Chen Guo's initial level was admittedly low, and though he had managed to level up significantly, his rank still fell short when compared to the others. But that didn't matter. The enhancements that came with leveling up weren't as potent as other special attributes, yet Chen Guo's fighting capacity remained in a league of its own.
With the collective might of the group soaring, the last third of the demons didn't stand a chance anymore.
The outcome was becoming clear.
...
Amidst the infinite expanse of the void.
The Great Bodhisattva remarked, "It seems this group of trial challengers is of exceptional caliber. Your arena can't defeat them!"
Taibai Jinxing observed, "Of all the groups we've seen, this one possesses the finest qualities and the most potential."
The Divine Lord of Salvation added, "Their strategic combat intelligence is impressive. I'll be sure to reward them once this is over."
The Demon King interjected, "Hold on, the end has yet to come. I've planted a rather splendid surprise in the arena. Only if they can endure this 'gift' of mine will they truly have conquered the Demon Arena."
