Two minutes later, as Su Yu, transformed into a Demon God, continued to hammer at the City Defense Array in the south of the city, he suddenly heard someone shouting:
"Not good, one True Immortal and twenty-two Celestial Immortals have left North Main City, seemingly to ambush our allies to the north. Do any reinforcements stand ready?"
Wang Ziqing, overseeing the entire situation, immediately said over the command channel:
"Order, eastern troops, mobilize Daoist Xu Shan, Daoist Zeng Lin, Daoist Jiang Zhonghe..."
"Order, southern troops, mobilize Daoist Yu Chen, Daoist Xia You..."
"Order, western troops, mobilize Daoist Wanxiang, Li..."
At this moment, the voice of General Zhu Wushuang suddenly came over Su Yu’s channel:
"Not good, they might abandon the main city and flee. Daoist Su Yu, can you spare a moment to intercept them?"
Su Yu lifted his head towards the north of the city and nodded, replying:
"I can step in at any time."
"Intervene immediately to intercept them."
However, Su Yu did not immediately agree but said:
"I can intercept at any time, but if I appear too soon, they might change their minds. I want to wait until they have left the city before I ambush them."
Wang Ziqing immediately asked:
"How confident are you?"
"Completely confident!"
"Good, we will temporarily withhold reinforcements!"
Wang Ziqing quickly adjusted the orders, continuing to mobilize but confirming the choices first, without providing immediate support.
Su Yu also lowered his head, as if unaware of the Horned Demon People’s actions.
The Horned Demon experts followed the plan, heading directly north. Among them, the True Immortal immediately threw out a precious seal, which swiftly transformed into a towering mountain enveloped in dense yellow light, smashing down.
The other Celestial Immortals employed their strategies, unleashing various powerful Spiritual Treasures and Divine Techniques in layers, inundating them on the spot.
Simultaneously, within the besieged West Main City, over twenty Celestial Immortals and one True Immortal stealthily made their way to the north. When their kin launched the attack, they too burst out from the City Defense Array, launching a thunderous counterstrike under the cover of in-city thunder pillars, instantly sending tens of thousands of bolts of lightning soaring skyward, even overshadowing the brilliance of the City Defense Array’s protective light.
Joining forces from both sides, with two True Immortals and nearly fifty-two Celestial Immortals, they formed an overwhelming numerical advantage in a short time.
However, they were prepared long beforehand, receiving the early orders from Su Yu. Xuanyue swiftly withdrew the array, instead activating the Earth Protection of the Innate Xuanyue Banner, deploying a light curtain with a defense power of 50 billion, blocking all of that lightning.
"Not good, they’ve seen through our plan."
Horned Demon True Immortal Cheng Lan’s expression changed, immediately shouting:
"Don’t linger in battle, retreat at once!"
Figures decisively turned around, hurtling away like meteors.
But at that moment, Su Yu’s true Demon God form with four heads and eight arms vanished in a flash, reappearing a few thousand kilometers away in the void. The Central Celestial Being’s divine head showed a smile that sent chills through all the Horned Demon People’s hearts, and the invisible Power of Time exploded, freezing everything it touched.
Within the Time Domain, time is rendered motionless within a radius of 100 kilometers, or flows forward or backward.
Outside this domain, no thought or action can occur, as in an instant, all the Horned Demon Celestial Immortals had a single ominous thought before their minds froze, thoughts halted, unknowable and unattainable.
"Boom!"
The enormous hammerhead of the Chaos Clock Hammer struck a Horned Demon Celestial Immortal’s forehead accurately, so vast in its power that even the time stillness couldn’t hold steady, ripples softly spreading through the Time Domain.
"Boom!"
The Demon God turned as fast as lightning, swinging the hammer down again with full force.
Its body twisting, delivering a third strike to another Horned Demon Celestial Immortal’s chest.
"Hiss!"
From outside the Time Domain, to the Human Race Celestial Immortals observing, it appeared that Su Yu simply appeared from thin air, freezing everything within a 200-kilometer radius, then materialized overhead of a Horned Demon Celestial Immortal and struck down.
The Demon God’s motion remained unchanged, but in the same instant, another similar form with four heads and eight arms appeared over another Horned Demon Celestial Immortal, striking down.
A moment of 0.36 seconds.
An instant of 0.018 seconds.
A second contains 56 instants.
In the blink of an eye, 52 towering Demon God forms, over 20 kilometers tall, intertwined and mirrored within this small world.
"It’s over!"
"No, one more round!"
Su Yu exhaled lightly, once more swinging the hammer at the frozen 52 Horned Demon Celestial Immortals, their spirit puppets, and the two True Immortals, repeating the assault... ten whole times.
"That’s enough!"
Su Yu lifted the Time Domain.
"Rumble!"
The 520 unleashed strikes of the top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, power contained within time’s bonds, erupted, turning into an unimaginable chaotic flood, shattering space within a 200-kilometer radius to transform into a turbulent chaos.
