AWB Chapter 311 The Forced Execution of the Demon-Slaying Hall
Chapter 311 The Forced Execution of the Demon-Slaying Hall
【Subsidiary World: Aoki Realm】
This is a mid-level plane attached to the Tianxuan Realm, with decent spiritual energy, capable of accommodating cultivators at the fifth-order Nascent Soul stage.
Normally, the supreme ruler here, "Old Ancestor Qingmu," is a local emperor worshipped by hundreds of millions of living beings.
He lived in his own palace, enjoying the company of his harem and controlling the life and death of the entire world. His life was far more comfortable than that of any Nascent Soul cultivator of the same level in the Heavenly Profound Realm.
However, just three days ago.
A spatial rift that tore through the sky completely shattered the dreams of this local tyrant.
Three law enforcement officers clad in black armor from the Demon Extermination Hall descended coldly.
"By order of the Palace Master, all cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage and above in the Azure Wood Realm are to immediately proceed to the Void Battlefield for service!"
"I won't go! I am the Lord of the Green Wood Realm! I have the recognition of the Realm Spirits here! You cannot..."
Ancestor Aoki was still trying to put on that air of being the "Lord of a Realm," and even wanted to mobilize his power to resist.
As a result, the black-armored enforcer in the lead merely glanced at him coldly and casually summoned a sixth-order spiritual weapon chain.
"Snapped!"
With a sharp crack, this usually arrogant local tyrant was whipped to the ground like a dead dog by the chains, and his proud cultivation was instantly sealed.
"Noisy."
"Before the Demon-Slaying Hall, even if you're a dragon, you have to coil up; even if you're a tiger, you have to lie down."
"Take him away! Next one!"
And so, amidst the horrified gazes of countless people, their invincible ancestor was dragged into the spatial passage like a dead pig.
What awaited him was no longer a life of luxury, but the brutal, meat-grinding battles of the void battlefield, and the likely fate of becoming food for low-level demons.
……
Such scenes played out in almost every attached miniature world during these seven days.
From the "Lord of the Realm" in the Middle World, to the "Guardian Deity" in the Small World, and then to the elders and deacons of the major sects in the Tianxuan Realm...
All cultivators who had reached the fifth-order Nascent Soul stage or above were wiped out, except for a few lucky ones who were responsible for maintaining basic order.
Even those old monsters who usually lived in seclusion and were nearing the end of their lives, preparing to die in their caves, were precisely located by the [Heavenly Compass], forcibly dug out of their coffins, and thrown to the front lines.
"Either go to the front lines as cannon fodder, or you'll be annihilated right now."
This is the choice offered by the Demon Slayer Hall.
Simple, brutal, and there is no third way.
……
[Tianxuan Realm·Taiyan Prefecture·Taiyan Holy Land]
As one of the top holy sites in the Old World, what kind of celestial atmosphere must this place have on ordinary days?
Ten thousand immortals came to pay homage, their light shimmering and dazzling.
But now, standing in front of the mountain gate and looking out...
The vast Taiyan Holy Land was desolate.
Those powerful elders who used to fly on swords and possessed great auras have long since disappeared.
Now sitting on the throne of the "Holy Lord," which symbolizes supreme power, is actually a boy who looks only sixteen or seventeen years old and whose cultivation has just reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
The young man, wearing a Saint Lord's robe that was clearly several sizes too big, sat in the empty hall, looking down at the "new generation of elders" who couldn't even gather enough Golden Core cultivators, with a blank and helpless expression on his face.
"Holy... Holy Lord, what should we do next?"
A young Taoist disciple in the Foundation Establishment stage asked timidly.
"I...I don't know either..."
The boy wanted to cry but couldn't.
Just a week ago, he was only an inner disciple who had just entered the sect. But because he had decent talent, and because his master, senior master, and grandmaster had all been captured, the position of Holy Lord inexplicably fell to him.
In the current Tianxuan Realm, cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage are practically extinct; the highest level they reach is the Core Formation stage.
The disparity in combat strength among the major powers is so severe that it is simply appalling.
If an unsuspecting outsider were to intrude at this moment, they would probably think that this is just a low-level cultivation civilization that has just begun.
In order to resist the demon race, the Demon Extermination Hall has truly squeezed the human resources of the entire cultivation world to the extreme.
……
In a secret realm of inheritance within the Demon Slayer Palace.
It was completely different from the bleak and desolate atmosphere outside.
At this moment, this area was filled with a chilling aura, and powerful figures gathered there!
A biting wind howled across the massive plaza, which was entirely paved with "Demon-Suppressing Black Gold".
Two hundred powerful eighth-tier experts, whose auras were as deep as the ocean, stood in neat rows in the center of the square, just like soldiers on parade.
Each of these people, if placed outside, would be a powerful figure capable of shaking the entire region with a stomp of their foot.
Among them were powerful elders from sacred lands, solitary and unparalleled cultivators, and core members of the Demon Slaying Hall.
But at this moment, no matter how fiercely they rage outside, or how unruly they are.
Standing here, they all suppressed all their arrogance, lowered their heads and looked down, not daring to even breathe loudly.
In fact, a deep sense of fear lingered in the eyes of many.
Just recently, a few self-proclaimed clever eighth-tier rogue cultivators attempted to use some ancient secret technique to shield themselves from heavenly secrets and evade the Demon-Slaying Hall.
The result happened right here in the square, in full view of everyone.
Those eighth-tier powerhouses were dragged up by the enforcement team like dead dogs, stripped of all their magical treasures on the spot, and the most vicious "slave soul imprint" was planted deep in their souls!
Then, they were directly treated as "suicide infantry" and thrown into the teleportation array leading to the void battlefield!
That scene completely shattered the last glimmer of hope in everyone present.
They realized a truth: in the face of the massive war machine of the Demon Extermination Hall, and in the face of the impending cataclysmic crisis, the will of an individual is nothing but a fart!
……
Among the crowd, Lin Hanzhou, dressed in a low-key black guest robe, stood quietly at the back of the group.
He lowered his eyes slightly, appearing respectful, but in reality, he was scrutinizing the eighth-level cultivators around him with a critical gaze.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
"Two hundred eighth-level experts."
Lin Hanzhou clicked his tongue inwardly in amazement.
"They usually keep things hidden, but this blow has brought them all out of the woodwork."
"However, unfortunately, the opportunity they were hoping for was not here; instead, it was a real den of dragons and tigers."
Just then, an immense and terrifying pressure suddenly descended upon the square.
"boom--!"
The two hundred eighth-level experts in the audience instantly felt their knees buckle, their breath catch in their throats, and the operation of the power of their inner world was forcibly suppressed at this moment.
This is the power of the ninth-order Mahayana realm.
On the high platform above the square, the void seemed to distort slightly.
A majestic figure, as imposing as a god or demon, slowly emerged.
He wore a purple-gold robe, his face was majestic and cold, and his eyes seemed to hold the illusion of stars. Just by standing there, he seemed to become the center of this world, making all things submit to him.
He is none other than Duanmu Hong, the current master of the Demon Extermination Hall!
