638 A Little Mistake
However, before the people could fear the demons, they saw a purple giant of the same size suddenly descend.
In the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint, the purple giant hacked the demon into pieces.
People worshipped in fear, shouting for a God to save the world.
A demon at the peak of the Celestial Realm panicked and accidentally teleported to the location of Tata Village.
When the members of the Heavenly God Palace hiding under the formation saw the demon return, they were terrified and tensed up.
At this moment, the demon realized it had arrived at Lin Qiye’s base camp.
It looked at the bustling village, and anger rose in its heart. It immediately decided to take the opportunity to take revenge.
“Why did the demon come back? Could it be that the Holy Infant Temple Lord has already…”
“Touch wood! What nonsense are you saying, you jinx? My master’s current state is too powerful!”
Some people were worried that Lin Qiye had been killed by the demons, but Wan Meng’s attitude dispelled their worries.
A divine weapon that had acknowledged its master would have a special connection with him. She could sense Lin Qiye’s state regardless of distance.
But even so, the demon’s return made everyone feel uneasy.
Just as the people prayed that the demon was not coming to attack them, the monstrous demonic Qi had already arrived.
The demon at the peak of the Celestial Realm unleashed its force field with all its might, and its aura immediately suppressed the residents of Tata Village so much that they almost couldn’t breathe.
The effect was already weakened by the defensive formation. If the formation were removed, the residents below the Celestial Realm would probably lose their ability to move under the pressure of the aura. They might even die on the spot.
“Supply energy to the points I set up earlier. As long as the energy supply is constant, he won’t be able to break through the formation here!”
Wan Meng commanded the entire situation, urging everyone to go to the defensive points and supply energy to the formation.
The moment everyone was in position, the demon that had gathered its power also smashed down with a monstrous force.
A giant palm nearly a thousand meters long crashed into the formation’s energy barrier, causing the entire land to shake.
The people on guard in the town felt their hearts tremble and groaned on the spot.
“What a terrifying power!”
“Is this really a power that can be mastered by a Celestial?”
The people of the Heavenly God Palace were shocked.
They had seen Hall Master Hong, the strongest among the forty-two Hall Masters, in action. Even he could not display the same terrifying power as the demon in front of them.
Some people even suspected that only the High Gods could confront this demon.
“Don’t relax! Otherwise, if the formation is broken, no one could survive!”
Hall Master Qi shouted and asked everyone to guard their minds.
Even though they were both at the peak of the Celestial Realm, he was afraid of the demon.
Hall Master Qi didn’t know how strong the formation that protected Tata Village was, but the terrifying power within the demon’s attack still terrified him despite being weakened by the formation.
It was no exaggeration to say that without the formation’s protection, he would not be able to resist that attack even if he used his full strength.
“Damned humans!”
The demon roared in rage.
It knew Tata Village was protected by a formation, so it used the ultimate killing move.
But even so, its attack was unable to shake the defensive formation.
As it was shocked and angry, it gathered its power and launched a second attack.
Boom!
Another palm fell. The attack in anger increased the power by another 30%.
The guards all looked strained, but they managed to withstand the blow.
Seeing this scene, the demon immediately realized how difficult it was to break through the protective array of Tata Village with pure brute force.
It scanned the area covered by the defensive formation with a dark gaze. Then, it retracted its giant palm and slowly retreated into the endless black clouds.
“It’s retreating?”
Seeing the demon retreat, the people of the Heavenly God Palace couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
However, before they could be happy for long, someone noticed something unusual and exclaimed.
“Something’s wrong! It hasn’t left yet. Look at that black mist!”
Everyone turned their heads to look at the clouds that shrouded the sky.
The clouds were spreading rapidly, and soon the entire Tata Village was shrouded in darkness as if the demons had arrived.
Wan Meng had a clear perception of everything inside and outside the formation.
She discovered that the black mist was like a sticky substance that adhered to the defensive barrier. It was impossible to remove it. The black mist that stuck to the barrier gradually began to devour the array’s energy.
Everyone also felt a loss of energy, but the speed was slower, so they were not too nervous.
However, at this moment, Butcher, at the core of the formation, suddenly changed his expression.
“Not good! We can’t let him devour the formation’s energy!”
He felt a familiar power from the black mist.
Before he met Lin Qiye, he had turned into a vengeful spirit due to a demon’s influence.
At that time, he had mastered a power similar to the black mist used by the demon.
The black mist could devour other energies. The most terrifying thing was that the devoured energy would turn to strengthen the black mist and its owner.
Back then, he could only force the Incarnation Realm White Dragon to flee with his Embodier Realm stage cultivation base because of the black mist’s devouring power.
When he used the black mist, there was a risk of losing his mind and turning into a demon.
However, the demons were a combination of pure evil thoughts, and no matter how much evil energy they converted, it was impossible to affect their consciousness and reason.
If the demon was allowed to absorb energy limitlessly, Butcher didn’t even dare to think about what terrifying level its power would reach.
