The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Jiangchuan's thunder dragon roared, entwined with lightning, attempting to penetrate the barrier of demonic energy and strike the ancient demon god's vitals.

However, each lightning strike was absorbed by the demonic energy the instant it approached the ancient demon god, vanishing into nothingness, like a stone thrown into an abyss, without causing a ripple.

"How could mere thunder possibly shake me in the slightest?"

The ancient demon god scoffed, a cold smile playing on his lips, as if he were watching a boring game.

Jiang Chuan's expression was solemn.

His Thunder Dragon Soaring technique was completely ineffective at this moment.

Looking at the endless demonic energy around him, Jiang Chuan fell into silence.

With the blessing of the Bagua formation, Shen Jing's Tai Chi Wuji Slash transformed into countless light and shadow, each strike incredibly precise.

However, it could only leave a string of faint light on the ancient demon god's dark purple scales before disappearing, unable to cause any real damage.

"Your attacks are nothing more than a gentle breeze to me."

"You mere human dare to challenge me?"

With a gentle wave of his hand, the ancient demon god conjured an even stronger vortex of demonic wind, completely shattering Shen Jing's attack.

"Jiang Chuan, this ancient demon god is simply too bizarre."

"Our attacks couldn't even cause a ripple in front of him."

Jiang Chuan nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the ancient demon god before him.

"Extremely bizarre."

He murmured to himself that he seemed invincible in this area.

However, if we cannot defeat him, the entire Mount Hua will be plunged into an endless abyss of darkness.

Seeing this, Qingyun unleashed his Azure Wave Sword, like raging waves, advancing layer by layer, attempting to overwhelm all of the ancient demon god's defenses.

"Look at the sword!"

Veins bulged on Qingyun's face, and the long sword in his hand shimmered with a blue light, exuding an imposing aura!

But the barrier formed by the demonic energy seemed to be alive, automatically adjusting itself with the onslaught of the sword waves, deflecting all attacks, and even reflecting some of the sword energy back at Qingyun himself.

"Even the forces of nature cannot do anything to me."

The ancient demon god smiled contemptuously, and the backlash from his demonic aura grew even stronger.

"what!"

Qingyun was greatly alarmed. The ancient demon god's offensive forced Qingyun to withdraw his sword stance to avoid injuring himself.

The Bull Demon King roared, his whole body bathed in an earthy yellow light. He swung his staff down with all his might, unleashing the fury of the earth's veins, intending to shake the heavens and earth and shatter the demonic energy barrier of the ancient demon god.

However, when the wind from the stick met the demonic energy, it was as if it had hit an invisible wall. The powerful impact was evenly dispersed, leaving only an echo that reverberated through the valley.

"The anger of mortals is only fit to be my joke."

The ancient demon god spoke coldly, his demonic aura growing ever stronger, as if mocking the four's powerlessness.

"Is this all the offensive you've got?"

"ridiculous."

The ancient demon god scoffed, thinking that the humans before him were simply no match for him.

"It seems it's time to end this drama."

Jiang Chuan's pupils contracted sharply as he sensed an unprecedented crisis, like a premonition of the end of the world.

"Quick! Concentrate your spiritual power and construct the strongest defense!"

He shouted hoarsely, his voice filled with unwavering determination.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly gathered their spiritual energy.

Jiang Chuan crossed his hands, surrounded by lightning, forming a lightning-shining shield.
Shen Jing gritted his teeth, and the Bagua formation circle rotated around him, transforming into a wall of light;
With a light tap of the tip of the Azure Cloud Sword, the Azure Wave Sword transformed into rings of sword light, weaving into a giant sword net;

Meanwhile, the Bull Demon King brandished his giant cudgel, and the power of the earth condensed into a thick earthen wall, standing before the crowd.

"Come on, you monster!"

The Bull Demon King roared, his eyes filled with a thirst for battle.

The ancient demon god smiled contemptuously, and the demonic energy around him boiled like living water, slowly gathering into a pitch-black vortex.

A moment later, a blinding light erupted from the vortex, and countless cones of demonic energy poured out like a torrential rain, carrying an aura of destruction, directly striking the group's defenses.

"Bang bang bang-"

A series of deafening impacts rang out, each demonic cone carrying the power to tear apart mountains and rivers.

The shield that everyone had built trembled under such an attack, its light gradually dimmed, and cracks began to spread.

"Keep it up, everyone! Give it your all!"

"We must not give up!"

Jiang Chuan struggled to maintain the Thunder Pool Shield, sweat streaming down his face. The depletion of lightning power left him feeling more exhausted than ever before.

However, just when they were about to give up, the ancient demon god suddenly unleashed a skill they had never seen before.

"Demon Soul Devoured".

The ancient demon god murmured, and then, something terrifying happened!
Suddenly, the seemingly blocked cones of demonic energy burst forth with even stronger light, transforming into ferocious phantoms of demonic beasts that bared their fangs and claws as they pierced through the shield, directly eroding everyone's source of spiritual power.

Shen Jing was the first to be hit. A phantom of a demonic beast lunged at his chest, instantly tearing through his light barrier and biting his shoulder hard.

The excruciating pain turned Shen Jing's face pale, blood spurted out, and his body swayed precariously.

"Shen Jing!"

Jiang Chuan cried out urgently, and the power of lightning surged forth, attempting to save his friend from danger.

At this critical moment, Shen Jing endured the excruciating pain and rapidly formed hand seals with his fingers.

The Bagua formation suddenly reversed, instantly drawing away the source of demonic energy that was binding his body, transforming into a beam of light that countered and forced back the illusory demonic beast.

"I'm not that easy to give up."

"Just some mere evil energy!"

Shen Jing was panting, but his eyes remained resolute.

The ancient demon god seemed surprised as well, a hint of astonishment flashing across its indifferent face for the first time. "Interesting, the human will is so tenacious."

"You guys have really impressed me."

"We will not only be tenacious, but we will also let you know that this world is not a place where you, a monster, can run rampant!"

Jiang Chuan roared, and the Thunder Dragon Soared into the Sky once more. This time, the lightning was even more dazzling, carrying a storm of vengeance as it headed straight for the Ancient Demon God.

"Is that so? Then let me see how many more miracles you can create."

The ancient demon god chuckled, and the demonic energy surged once more, heralding a new and even more brutal battle.

"Come on, as long as we have a breath left, we swear to protect this land!"

The Bull Demon King's deep voice rang out, and the power of the earth stirred as if in response to his vow.

The four stood back to back, facing a seemingly invincible enemy, but their eyes showed no sign of retreat, only determination and fearlessness.

"What should we do now?!"

Sweat streamed down Qingyun's face; he couldn't keep up with the sheer size of the enemy and his spiritual energy was too much to handle.

Even the Bull Demon King, who was the strongest among them, was the same.

Although he is only at the mid-Earth Rank, the main source of his spiritual energy shield still comes from the Bull Demon King.

A Xuan-level strength is utterly insignificant compared to the ancient demon god before them. The only one who can make the ancient demon god feel even a trace of pressure is Jiang Chuan.

Although the spiritual world within Jiang Chuan's body continuously provides him with spiritual energy.

However, when demand exceeds supply, even Jiang Chuan cannot prevent the loss of his own spiritual power.

Now, the spiritual power of the four people is almost exhausted, but the ancient demon god is so powerful that he can see the changes in their spiritual power.
The spiritual energy shield was originally exceptionally bright, but now, its light is gradually fading.

Humanity is now at its last gasp.

The ancient demon god resides within a black hole of demonic energy, possessing an inexhaustible source of demonic power.

Here, he is invincible!

"wrong!"

"No, no!"

The Bull Demon King suddenly shook his head, startling everyone.

What's the meaning! ?

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but shift his gaze to the Bull Demon King. "Tell me in detail, what's going on?"

"The ancient demon god has a variety of tricks up his sleeve. According to legend, the demon god is the right-hand man of the current demon emperor, Jun."

"Their strength is terrifying. Given our strength, they should be able to kill us in a single move!"

"But why do his moves look so weak?"

The Bull Demon King expressed his concerns.

Jiang Chuan fell into deep thought, but Shen Jing said from the side, "Perhaps the passage to the demon realm has just been opened, and his strength has not yet reached its peak?"

The Bull Demon King shook his head slightly.

"nonexistent."

"The power of the ancient demon god cannot be disturbed."

“A long time ago, when I was still at the Xuan rank, the ancient demon god’s strength had already reached the late Earth rank.”

"I suspect that the ancient demon god in front of me is fake."

"Its appearance is almost identical to that of the ancient demon god."

The Bull Demon King analyzed it alone.

Jiang Chuan narrowed his eyes. The ancient demon god before him was indeed very strong, but according to the Bull Demon King's description, it was indeed somewhat strange.

Qingyun, who was standing nearby, also noticed something strange.

"I feel like he's just stalling for time, putting pressure on us without letting us die here."

"Could it be that he has a deeper meaning?"

"Do you remember that mysterious person when we came here earlier?"

"Where is he now?!"

Qingyun's question instantly startled the group.

Could it be that more demons will emerge from this black hole of demonic energy later?
Shen Jing pondered for a long time without saying a word.

he was thinking.

What exactly is the reason behind this?
Jiang Chuan paused for a moment, then said, "But the most urgent task at hand is to deal with this ancient demon god, or its substitute."

"He should be beaten to death!"

"Otherwise, with the endless flow of demonic energy, Mount Hua will soon be unable to withstand it."

Jiang Chuan knew very well that if even he couldn't withstand this demonic aura...

By the time the demonic aura spread beyond Mount Hua, none of the people in the organization survived!

Their strength is generally relatively low.

If even institutions fall, then humanity as a whole might face the end of the world!
Let alone a two-year period, it will be the end of the world by then.

With the demon race invading, it would be good if they could hold out for two months!

Our mission is to ensure that this ancient demon god does not bring disaster to the people!
"Brothers, we must make him die here!"

We must not let him bring harm to humanity!

Jiang Chuan's voice echoed in the black hole, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the ancient demon god!

The enormous demonic body did not seem to deter the group; instead, it strengthened their desire to kill the ancient demon god!
"Mere humans are utterly laughable!"

Jiang Chuan clenched his fists, and lightning roared around him, each bolt of lightning venting his anger and defiance at the ancient demon god.

"Your tricks end here! Thunder Dragon Soars to the Sky!"

Lightning converged, transforming into roaring thunder dragons that crashed headlong into the endless cones of demonic energy with earth-shattering force.

At the same time, Shen Jing gritted his teeth, and the Bagua formation suddenly accelerated its rotation speed.

Amidst the golden light, a "Tai Chi Reverse Flow Slash" was unleashed, skillfully using the opponent's force to deflect the demonic energy cones that were about to pierce through the light barrier, and even attempting to draw them towards each other to consume each other.

Qingyun uses the Qinglan Sword as its core, its sword intent surging like a tide, each circle of sword light intertwining to weave a network of swords.

A faint blue lightning flashed through the sword net, a testament to his and Jiang Chuan's perfect coordination. The interplay of sword and lightning formed another solid defensive line.

The Bull Demon King roared in a deep voice, wielding his giant cudgel. Amidst the yellowish-brown light and fragments of rock, he smashed a path through the demonic energy with a "Wrath of the Earth Veins".

Although this passage was fleeting, it bought everyone a precious respite.

"We cannot remain passively defensive; we must find opportunities to counterattack!"

Jiang Chuan shouted a reminder, his sweat mingling with lightning, his eyes gleaming with unwavering determination.

Just when everyone thought the next wave of attacks was about to come, the ancient demon god's actions took an unexpected turn.

It slowly raised one hand, palm up, and the dark vortex seemed to respond to its will, and demonic energy began to condense, not for attack, but to form a denser demonic energy shield around it.

"Foolish humans, feel despair. The core of this black hole is the gateway to the demon realm, where my power will be amplified infinitely." The ancient demon god's tone carried an almost insane confidence.

Before the words were even finished, the entire space trembled. What overflowed from the demonic energy shield was no longer a single cone of demonic energy, but a series of distorted spatial rifts. Within these rifts, the phantoms of demonic beasts appeared and disappeared, roaring as they tried to break free.

Faced with the sudden change, Jiang Chuan and the other three exchanged a tense glance, but they did not give up.

"Concentrate all your strength and break through!"

Jiang Chuan's voice was resolute, and at this moment, the power of lightning and sword light, the Bagua and the earth resonated like never before.

The Azure Cloud Sword beam shot out like a series of azure meteors, piercing straight through the spatial rift.
Shen Jing activated the Bagua Formation, and light condensed to form a torrent of energy that rushed towards the demonic energy shield.

The Bull Demon King's giant club roared, and ripples formed from earth elements overlapped, attempting to shake the foundation of the demonic energy shield.

Jiang Chuan further enhanced his Thunder Dragon Soaring to the extreme, with the lightning dragon roaring and swirling around him, eventually converging into a ball of lightning.

He leaped high into the air, like a thunder god descending to earth, and hurled the lightning ball at the center of the demonic energy shield.

"boom--"

With a deafening roar, the demonic energy shield fluctuated violently, revealing tiny cracks. Although the demonic energy repaired them instantly, this brief breach was enough to excite people.

"There's a gap! Concentrate your firepower and give it your all!" the Bull Demon King roared, sensing a glimmer of hope.

"That's right, don't give it a chance to recover!"

Jiang Chuan roared, and the power of lightning surged once more, causing every wisp of air to tremble due to the agitation of the lightning.

Shen Jing gritted his teeth, and the light of the Bagua Formation grew even more intense. Each "Tai Chi" move contained his determination to win, as if he were seeking proof from ancient wisdom and searching for a solution.

"We can't stop!" (End of Chapter)
