As Jong Ja-Ryang clashed with the Sichuan Tang Family's martial arts masters, Gu Pae-Cheon sprang into action, launching an assault on Huangfu Chong. His summoned Tyrannical Black Demonic Dragon charged fiercely, accompanied by a resounding roar.
Choosing defense over offense, Huangfu Chong employed the Heavenly King's one hundred and eight fists to intercept the assault of the Tyrannical Black Demonic Dragon. The fists struck the dragon simultaneously, but it persisted, charging fiercely against the barrage. A colossal clash erupted.
The Tyrannical Black Demonic Dragon, enveloped in black lightning, shattered the Heavenly King's fists with its relentless force.
The Heavenly King's fists didn't merely succumb to destruction; they relentlessly pounded the Tyrannical Black Demonic Dragon's massive form. In a culmination of their fierce exchange, both forces obliterated each other, scattering fragments of vajra qi in all directions. Pae-Cheon and Huangfu Chong retreated, evading the shockwaves and vajra qi remnants from the intense clash.
While Pae-Cheon focused solely on Huangfu Chong, the situation differed for Huangfu Chong. Following the clash with Pae-Cheon, Ryeon-Pae swiftly advanced towards him. The black flames and vajra qi emanating from Ryeon-Pae's saber enveloped Huangfu Chong.
Though the Blood-Crazed Divine Demon Saber didn't match the transcendental prowess of the Blood-Crazed Divine Demon Star, it posed a substantial threat to Huangfu Chong.
Anticipating Ryeon-Pae's assault, Huangfu Chong remained composed and set the Heavenly King's fists into motion. One hundred and eight fists surged forward simultaneously, creating a formidable barrier of fist energies in front of the Blood-Crazed Divine Demon Saber. The black flames and vajra qi, thwarted by this wall of energy, veered off course, scattering in all directions.
In a decisive moment, Pae-Cheon summoned another Tyrannical Black Demonic Dragon, hurtling it in from the opposite side.
Swiftly reacting, Huangfu Chong erected a second barrier of fist energies on the opposing side. The Tyrannical Black Demonic Dragon collided head-on with this new defensive formation. The impact reverberated, causing a significant disturbance in the wall of fist energies, yet it stood resilient like an impregnable fortress.
Momentarily pushed back, the Tyrannical Black Demonic Dragon roared back into action, charging once more at the unyielding wall with its jaws wide open.
A resounding roar echoed, and a crack materialized in the once-solid wall of fist energies. The Tyrannical Black Demonic Dragon forcefully burrowed into the breach, dismantling the defensive barrier. Having breached the defenses, the dragon surged forward, intent on consuming Huangfu Chong. Simultaneously, on the opposite front, black flame vajra qi lunged toward Huangfu Chong.
Seizing the moment, Ryeon-Pae launched another assault. Yet, that wasn't the sole threat. Unbeknownst to Huangfu Chong, Ja-Ryang swiftly dispatched all the Sichuan Tang Family's martial arts masters and closed in from behind. With impeccable timing, he unleashed the Underworld Evil Spirit Palm.
Formidable attacks surged from three directions simultaneously, posing a nearly insurmountable challenge to block the onslaught of the three Divine Demons' attacks.
Determined not to succumb without a fight, Huangfu Chong clenched his teeth and extended the Heavenly King's one hundred and eight fists in three directions. These fists coalesced into a protective barrier, creating a wall of energy around Huangfu Chong. The attacks from the Divine Demons struck this defensive formation simultaneously, causing the once robust wall of fist energies to appear less formidable.
Eventually, under the combined force of the Divine Demons' onslaught, the wall shattered as its power dispersed throughout its structure.
The combined assault of the Divine Demons overwhelmed Huangfu Chong. Swallowed by their relentless attack, he crumpled to the ground, his body tragically torn apart. Huangfu Chong met his demise, unable to preserve his body against the coordinated onslaught of the Divine Demons. This marked the final moment not only for Huangfu Chong but also for the Seven Saints.
"Now, with the demise of all the Seven Saints, our task remains solely to confront the Thunder God's successor," Pae-Cheon declared.
The conquest of murim seemed assured in his mind once they vanquished the Thunder God's successor.
Defeating the Thunder Gods successor is more difficult than fighting all the Seven Saints combined. Ryeon-Pae took a skeptical stance.
Certainly, if the Thunder Gods successor uses the Thunder Gods Descent, the odds will be slim even if all of us charge at him. However, if we endure until the time limit for the Thunder Gods Descent ends, victory against the Thunder God's successor becomes easy.
"Holding out until the end of the Thunder God's Descent is no easy task. Even employing the human-wave strategy won't guarantee success if the Thunder God's successor is set on targeting the Divine Demons, which is us. Avoiding his attacks would prove challenging," Ryeon-Pae countered Pae-Cheon's perspective.

"That might not be out of reach. If our martial arts masters, including the Demonic Monarchs and the Higher Demons, consume the Invincible Clan's Soul-Burning Invincibility Pill, they might not necessarily defeat him, but they could restrain the Thunder God's successor even during the Thunder God's Descent," Ja-Ryang suggested.
What you mean is that you want to defeat the Thunder Gods successor at the sacrifice of the Demonic Monarchs and the Higher Demons.
Our three factions don't have any more Demonic Monarchs and Higher Demons anyway. We have nothing to lose.
Hmm, but I dont know if the other factions will accept that.
They will most likely accept it rather than letting us, the Divine Demons, fight directly with our lives on the line.
Pae-Cheon and Ryeon-Pae nodded at Ja-Ryangs comment.
Then, what should we do now? Ryeon-Pae asked Ja-Ryang.
First of all, I think it'll be better to gather all the forces of the factions together.
However, it is questionable whether the Thunder Gods successor, who is currently at the Northern Sky Branch, will come or not.
This is just a guess, but he will probably make a move in order to help the Southern Sky Branch. 𝑓𝑟ℯℯ𝓌ℯ𝒷𝑛ℴ𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
If so, wont the factions attacking the Southern Sky Branch be in danger?
At this point in time, we have no choice but to hope that they don't suffer any losses. We also have to get in touch as soon as possible and gather our forces together.
If we want to gather our forces, where do you suggest? Pae-Cheon asked.
Well, we can gather at Sichuan Province or Shaanxi Province, otherwise, the Myriad Tribulations Clan and we can also move to Hubei Province to join up with the three factions there.
I think it would be better for the Myriad Tribulations Clan and us to move to Hubei Province.
I have the same opinion.
"Agreed. Let's proceed with this plan and communicate our strategy to the Myriad Tribulations Clan and the three factions in Hubei Province. Additionally, we should head to Shaanxi Province and regroup with our remaining forces."
In response to Ja-Ryang's suggestion, Pae-Cheon and Ryeon-Pae nodded in unison. Subsequently, the three Divine Demons swiftly mobilized, converging with their respective factions journeying from Shaanxi Province to Sichuan Province.

The Myriad Poison Divine Demon Gal Cheon-Dok and the Invincible Divine Demon So Geuk-Sang, signaled by a beacon fire, verified that the Sky Beast Palace's Twelve Beast Kings were unsuccessful in overcoming Baek Mu-Gun. They also ascertained that Mu-Gun, along with the Absolute Realm masters from the Southern Sky Branch, had resumed tracking them once more.
What should we do now? Geuk-Sang asked Cheon-Dok.
I think it would be better to split our forces and spread out in different directions. Cheon-Dok replied.
Do you intend to cause confusion in their pursuit?
"Exactly. Despite being the Thunder God's successor, he won't easily pinpoint us among hundreds of traces," Cheon-Dok remarked.
Thats not a bad idea. But shouldnt we decide where to gather first before making a move?
Why dont we meet up at Suining, Sichuan Province? It seems like the Myriad Tribulations Clan and the three factions moving in Shaanxi Province will also gather in Sichuan Province.
Thats a good idea. Lets do it.
Cheon-Dok and Geuk-Sang swiftly called together the mid-level executives, encompassing the Demonic Monarchs and Higher Demons, for a meeting. There, they disclosed their decision, organizing teams of approximately a hundred individuals. These groups were tasked with traversing distinct routes and assembling at Suining.
The Demonic Monarchs and Higher Demons then distributed the personnel of the three factions in alignment with the desires of the Divine Demons, outlining a succinct route for each.
The demonic practitioners from the three factions promptly proceeded to Sichuan Province based on their assigned groups and routes. Simultaneously, the two Divine Demons made their way to Suining, accompanied by their respective subordinates.
Two hours later, commencing with Mu-Gun, the martial arts masters of the Loyal Heart Alliance and the Southern Sky Branch reached the location where their adversaries had been. Upon scrutinizing the surroundings, Mu-Gun affirmed that the Nine Celestial Demons Sect had dispersed their forces and escaped in various directions.
Given the situation, it'll be difficult for us to track the Divine Demons and the martial arts masters. The Wudang Sect Patriarch, Supreme Elder Hyun Cheon, said with a perplexed expression.
Is there no other way? Zhuge Bo asked Mu-Gun.
Considering Mu-Gun's insight, there was a glimmer of hope that he might have a clue. Nevertheless, amidst the multitude of traces, pinpointing the Divine Demons' trail proved challenging for Mu-Gun. Mu-Gun shook his head.
It would be difficult to figure out where the two Divine Demons and the Demonic Monarchs went.
Hmm, if so, we have no choice but to give up on pursuing them.
However, I have a general idea where the Nine Celestial Demons Sects demonic practitioners went, Mu-Gun said.
That means you want to infer where they are headed and move in that direction.
That is correct.
In your opinion, where do you think they are headed?
I think they are heading in the direction of Sichuan Province. This is just a guess, but I think they plan to join up with the other factions in Sichuan Province. Mu-Gun inferred.
I have the same thought.
Then, shouldnt we gather our forces too? The Great Ximen Family Patriarch, Ximen Guang, said.
Before that, we need to check the situation going on in the Western Sky Branch and the Northern Sky Branch.
At the Guangdong Jin Family Patriarch, Jin Mu-Weis remarks, Zhuge Bo nodded.
"I suggest we consolidate our forces after assessing the conditions at the Western Sky Branch and the Northern Sky Branch first.
I think that is the best course of action. Mu-Gun agreed.
Then, for now, lets join up with the Southern Sky Branchs forces, who are following behind us.
Abandoning the pursuit of the Nine Celestial Demons Sect, the masters of the Loyal Heart Alliance and the Southern Sky Branch retraced their steps to reunite with the remaining Southern Sky Branch forces. Upon regrouping, they assessed the situations at the Western Sky Branch and the Northern Sky Branch.
Several days later, Mu-Gun received an update from the Heavenly Secret Hall regarding the conditions at the Western Sky Branch and the Northern Sky Branch. Hearing the news, Mu-Gun couldn't conceal his astonishment. The revelation was none other than the demise of three out of the Seven Saints. Mu-Gun received a detailed account of the three Saints' deaths from an informant of the Heavenly Secret Hall.
Furthermore, Mu-Gun verified that seven factions of the Nine Celestial Demons Sect were assembling in Sichuan Province. Leaving instructions for the Heavenly Secret Hall's informant, he directed the forces from the Western Sky Branch and the Northern Sky Branch to convene in Hubei Province.
Once the informant departed, Mu-Gun convened with the leaders of the Southern Sky Branch, relaying the news of the demise of three of the Seven Saints and providing an overview of the prevailing situation.
Hmm, I dont know if we'll be able to stop the Nine Celestial Demons Sects Divine Demons now that all the Seven Saints have passed away. The Supreme Elder Hyun Cheon said with a mournful look.
Now that all the Seven Saints, who could deal with the Divine Demons, have died, the only one we can place our faith in is Young Master Baek.
I know that Young Master Baek is amazing as he is the Thunder Gods successor, but I am worried if he would be able to deal with all the Nine Celestial Demons Sects Divine Demons on his own. Ximen Zong expressed concern at Zhuge Bos words.
It would be great if the previous generations martial arts masters from the Shaolin Temple and the Wudang Sect would come forward at a time like this. Mu-Wei expressed his frustration.
They are people who have already turned their backs on the secular world. It would be greedy of us to expect anything from them. Mu-Gun said.
I am only saying this because of the current situation, Mu-Wei responded.
Dont worry too much. I'll be able to stop them if I do my very best.
You sound confident about dealing with the Divine Demons alone.
You will know if you wait and see.
Mu-Gun deemed it unnecessary to broach the topic of the Thunder God's Descent, considering that as patriarchs of the Nine Prominent Sects and the Seven Great Families, they likely were already informed. Confirming his assumption, Mu-Gun found that the executives of the Southern Sky Branch were indeed well acquainted with the details of the Thunder God's Descent.
In addition, they were cognizant of the historical precedent where the previous Thunder God's successor single-handedly vanquished the Nine Great Demon Kings of the Nine Celestial Demons Sect with the Thunder God's Descent.
They held firm belief that, as the current Thunder God's successor, Mu-Gun, if he triggered the Thunder God's Descent, could overcome the Divine Demons solo. It wasn't merely faith; they desperately wished for him to succeed.
Anyway, I sent a message to the Western Sky Branch and the Northern Sky Branch, asking them to gather in Hubei Province. So, it'll be better for us to wait here until they join up with us. Mu-Gun revealed.
Lets do as you say.
The Wudang Sects Supreme Elder Hyun Cheon and the three Great Families patriarchs nodded to Mu-Guns opinion.
1. The human-wave strategy is an offensive infantry tactic in which an attacker conducts an unprotected frontal assault with densely concentrated infantry formations against the enemy line, intended to overrun and overwhelm the defenders by engaging in melee combat.
