In the city, the black-haired man was controlling the five critical Magus Pillars from afar. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! With the five gigantic Magus Pillars as the core, a magus array enveloped the entirety of Fire Phoenix City, extending to a kilometer past Fire Phoenix Cityʼs walls.

And in the sky, there were twenty fiendcelestials overlooking Fire Phoenix City on the amassing black clouds. Leading them was the brawny fiendcelestial in red-scaled armor. He looked coldly at the distant Firephoenix.

”Charge!”

”Charge!”

”Charge!”

The fiendish demon horde also had its leaders who immediately gave the order to attack.

Instantly, all the fiendish demons charged at Fire Phoenix City on black clouds. However, when they entered the range of Fire Phoenix Cityʼs magus array, they could not help but plummet to the ground, slamming heavily onto the desolate plains, leaving craters in the ground. They rapidly got up unfazed, since there was no fall that could kill such powerful fiendish demons. Many fiendish demons saw this and took the initiative to steer their clouds to the ground. As long as they were within the magus array’s area of effect, no fiendish demon could fly.

”Kill those humans!”

”Kill!” The fiendish demons roared. They either charged forward on all fours or strode with their two humanoid legs. Instantly, a large fiendish demon horde swarmed Fire Phoenix City from all sides.

”If we don’t destroy these magus arrays, there is no way we can conquer Fire Phoenix City.” On the rolling black clouds, the twenty fiendcelestials were extremely calm. One of them said with a smile. ”Although our numbers dwarf the humans by a hundredfold, they have only about ten to twenty percent of their strength under the magus arrayʼs repression. Those humans are all Connate Godfiend descendants. Their strength is increased under the magus array and they also have battle formations. The fiendish demons under us will die en masse while those humans might occasionally see only one of theirs perish.”

”So what if they die? This war is meant to give them a taste of the threat of death. As long as one of them can grasp the Heavenly Daoʼs intent realm after hundreds or even a thousand of them die, we can use the Fiend Nest to allow them to step into the fiendcelestial realm. The loss would be worth it.”

”Yes, at least an attack on a city pits them against humans. They usually engage in mindless slaughter against each other on the great plains.”

”Even if more than half these fiendish demons die, it would be nothing if three to five fiendcelestials are born.”

These fiendcelestials were already used to this game.

Fiendish demons would kill one another on the great desolate plains! But due to the tiny differences in strength, their lives were not threatened enough.

Or it could be said that fiendish demons were long accustomed to being threatened.

As for attacking the city, with its magus array and the great disparity in strength, the sense of having their lives threatened would be more intense! Typically, a group of fiendish demons would die before one human Connate Godfiend descendant perished! Under the threat of death, it was indeed easier to force fiendish demons to gain insights into the Heavenly Daoʼs intent. Only by gaining insights into the intent realm could they retreat from battle without punishment.

…

In the present world, humans had small territories. They converged to form the nine great cities of humanity.

Meanwhile, the vast desolate plains were the territories of the fiendish demons! The fiendish demons were numerous and, with the rich Heaven and Earth spiritual energies available in that era, the demons were usually of higher realms than those from Qin Yunʼs homeworld. The fiendish demons that dared to attack were mostly existences that could match the third Firmament of the Mortal realm. They numbered a hundred times more than the human warriors as they took huge strides forward, traversing a distance of a kilometer with each step.

”Swoosh.”

They rapidly climbed up or leaped onto the city walls. Some even used each other to bolster their efforts. Soon, the first among them had scaled the two-hundred-feet-tall city walls. Groups of fiendish demons would also form battle formations to kill the human warriors.
