Chapter 969: Demigod Battlefield
These are the avatars of The Seven Archdemons!
They have not yet fully descended, and just their projected shadows are already unmatched!
"Now, all Demigod Guardians, quickly go up to stop them!" Huang Yi looked up at the seven enormous shadows and promptly issued a command. His authoritative voice echoed across the skies of the Hero Empire.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Ten brilliant rays of light shot up from various corners of the Hero Empire, fearlessly soaring into the massive vortex in the sky!
The aura of these ten rays was intense, and the light they emitted had a vast and eternal quality to it, like ten suns ascending to the heavens with long tails of flames—these were the ten Demigod Guardians of the Hero Empire!
Among them, the most dazzling light was a black cat. It was the sole Demigod Guardian to reach the Void God Level, whose inner strength had fully transformed into Divine Power and had the qualification to attempt Divine Enthronement.
It ascended all the way up, leaving a black space rift behind it, connecting the earth to the sky, like a wound tearing through the heavens and the earth.
The remaining nine Demigod Guardians, although not as powerful as the black cat, also caused space to tremble. The imposing aura of their Divine Power wreaked havoc across the sky, pressing down as if the heavens were an inch lower!
After soaring an untold distance, these ten magnificent rays finally slammed into the colossal vortex within the clouds!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Thunderous explosions burst forth!
Terrifying ripples sped out from the vortex, sweeping away the thick clouds in all directions!
The spatial cracks abruptly multiplied, and the entire sky resembled a shattered glass peppered with fissures, teetering and threatened to collapse into the dark chaos lurking behind.
The air trembled under pressure, and the refracted light twisted to reflect the scene above, with all the images stretching and distorting like reflections on rippling water, unclear and indistinct.
The shadows of The Seven Archdemons were suddenly pushed back by the enormous power, retreating into the heavy clouds, becoming completely obscured.
"God of Slaughter, do you know how long these Demigod Guardians of yours can hold against this king?" The King of Hell’s calm voice reverberated through the heavens and the earth, devoid of any fluctuation, displaying a composed mastery of the situation.
But their figures did not descend again from the clouds, presumably held back temporarily by those ten Demigod Guardians.
Soon, the sound of earth-shattering combat came from above the clouds, the celestial light and shadow shifted rapidly, with various lights reflecting down, bathing the world in a riot of color.
Everyone lifted their heads, staring intently at the heavy clouds. But their view was blocked, unable to see the scenes of the Demigods clashing above but relying on the sounds of battle descending to make speculations and imaginations.
"Boom!" A massive fireball dropped from the clouds, like a meteor crashing, fiercely striking a wilderness on Hero’s Continent, creating a vast basin!
"Crack!" A thick bolt of lightning struck down, hitting a vast forest on the ground, turning the entire forest to ashes instantly, filling the mountains and fields with thick smoke.
"Swoosh~" A gigantic crescent-shaped Sword Qi shot down from above the clouds, with a violent sound of splitting the air, striking the Demonic Beast Mountain Range on Hero’s Continent, leveling a large area of mountains!
Various aftereffects of the battles fell from the sky, like a fierce meteor shower, causing hearts to tremble with fear.
The Heavenly Domain Guardians of the Hero Empire all flew up proactively to intercept those battle remnants falling towards the Hero Empire.
But there were too many of these attacks leaking through, impossible to defend against all, and some still landed within the realm of the Hero Empire.
"Emergency report! The main city of the [Character Number] guild was hit by a massive fireball attack!"
"The main city of the [Art of the Rainbow] guild was struck by the battle’s aftermath, suffering heavy losses!
"The [Displaced and Homeless] guild was destroyed by a giant Thunder Light attack!"
"The war flag of the [Xiao Yu] guild was destroyed! The guild has disbanded!"
Quickly, a flood of reports streamed into Dragon City from all corners of the Hero Empire. Some battle remnants descended too quickly to be intercepted, falling into the Empire’s cities. Even with the protection of a Heavenly Curtain Barrier, many towns were still destroyed with an immense loss of property.
Many of these destroyed cities were those of other guilds that had recently merged into the Hero Empire. Their financial resources were limited, and the barriers they constructed were not strong. Thus, the sweeping aftermath of the battles reduced them to ruins.
This was only from the leaked battle remnants, yet it caused such immense destruction. One could only imagine the ferocity of the frontal battlefield above the clouds.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a giant black skull, thousands of meters wide, broke through the clouds, plummeting straight towards Dragon City!
Endless black demonic qi seeped from the seven orifices of that skull, shrouding the heavens and earth with a sinister aura, accompanied by endless wails echoing through the land!
Before the skull even hit, it cast a massive shadow over the streets and alleys of Dragon City, causing terror to grip the hearts of its people.
"Not good, this skull is about to hit Dragon City. Let’s go and defend it!" Huang Yi said in a grave tone, quickly flapping the Wings of the Demonic God behind him, soaring swiftly into the sky, heading straight for that enormous skull.
Dao Feng, Sharp Sword, Thunder God, and Dragon Spike also followed closely, flying skyward towards that enormous skull!
Their figures appeared extremely small compared to the massive skull, but their flight was resolute, like moths to a flame.
"Boom!" Thunder God swung the Divine Artifact in his hand, unleashing a surging river across the vast sky, striking the enormous skull first!
The fierce impact slowed the descent of the skull, as if trekking through the water, greatly hindering its speed.
Following that, Huang Yi’s figure crashed into the jaw of the skull, akin to a tiny mosquito landing on it. He swung the Wrath of the Godslayer with force, the axe blade shining with a crimson glow, smashing onto the skull, bursting out a magnificent shockwave!
Almost simultaneously, Dao Feng, Sharp Sword, and Dragon Spike also wielded their respective Divine Artifacts, emanating multicolored brilliance, striking the enormous skull’s jaw!
The massive skull was instantly submerged in dazzling light, waves of attack crazily raged upon it, causing bone fragments to splash and demonic qi to surge!
At this moment, Huang Yi and the others were in Dragon Spike’s Hero Formation, where each temporarily ascended to the level of an Epic Hero, their power overwhelming, causing spatial tremors with every move, showing hints of demigod aura.
Their combined attack barely halted the descent of the enormous skull.
After several more rounds of attacks, the massive skull finally trembled violently, ultimately crumbling with a "boom," transforming into countless tiny fragments spewing black smoke, densely falling from the sky like a black rain.
This black rain quickly fell over Dragon City but was stopped by a layer of transparent shield.
The black rain caused ripples upon striking the shield yet couldn’t descend further, being blocked outside.
However, this black rain was highly corrosive, and after being drenched in this black rain, the light of the shield rapidly dimmed, flickering continually, seemingly unable to withstand it.
Luckily, the black rain soon stopped, and the shield ultimately held up!
This is exactly Dragon City’s Heavenly Curtain Barrier!
These past days, the architects of the Hero Empire worked overtime to construct the Demigod Level Heavenly Curtain Barrier for Dragon City and several other crucial cities. This Heavenly Curtain Barrier construction method was passed down from the Oskan Royal Academy, incredibly costly, only powered by Sky Crystal Stone, capable of briefly resisting attacks from demigod experts.
"This Heavenly Curtain Barrier is quite precarious!" Huang Yi remarked, looking at the scene below with some concern.
Just now, this enormous skull accidentally dropped from the battlefield above the clouds, but even so it possessed such formidable destructive power. If the Seven Archdemons personally descended to attack Dragon City’s Heavenly Curtain Barrier, it probably wouldn’t take much to completely destroy it!
"Whoosh!" At that moment, a Black Phoenix formed of demonic qi broke through from the thick clouds above, diving towards Dragon City!
Huang Yi and the others’ hearts shuddered, hurriedly rushing up to intercept it.
...
Thus, sporadic battle aftermath spilled from above the clouds, and Huang Yi and the others exerted all their strength, darting back and forth in the sky, barely blocking the attacks from falling towards Dragon City.
But they were powerless against the battle aftermath falling in all other directions. The whole Hero’s Continent was gradually battered with countless scars; from the high sky, everywhere was a scene of apocalypse, giant craters, dense smoke, and blazing fires reaching the heavens.
If this continues, merely the leftover battle aftermath will suffice to wash Hero’s Continent in blood.
"Ah!" Suddenly, a loud scream erupted from the cloud layer, a majestic figure trailing a long tail flame descended from the sky, shedding a rain of blood.
The figure was like a general, wearing a Horned Helmet on his head, donned in heavy armor, gripping a metallic long spear, exuding an aura of Iron Blood Torrent!
This was one of the demigod guardians of the Hero Empire—Marshal Diego!
However, at this moment, his imposing aura was in disarray, one arm drooping weakly, seemingly broken, with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"Boom!" Marshal Diego crashed onto the ground heavily, creating a huge pit, raising a cloud of dust.
Huang Yi’s heart sank as he hurriedly descended, halting beside the pit where Diego had landed.

Character Number, Art of the Rainbow, Displaced and Homeless, Xiao Yu are all reader-submitted names. Additionally, some legitimate readers who didn’t submit names were also incorporated into the book as characters, such as Diego, which is derived from a legitimate reader’s name. I scanned through the fan rankings and found his name quite appealing, so I included it.
Friends interested in submitting character names can log in to the Qidian Web via a computer and sign up in the top pinned character submission post in the Heroes’ Prison book review section. You can only see the pinned post on the computer version of the Qidian Web; it seems unavailable elsewhere. It’s best to submit just one name without many requirements, making it easier to use, and the name should be tuneful and memorable.
