Chapter 5281: The Overlord's Divine Axe
and his companions' souls naturally perished as well. Lu Xia Tian, on the other hand, found himself pleasantly at ease.The Baijia woman was first taken by the Golden Silkworm Wolf Spider, then Zhao Mu...The voice of the Cloud-tiger beast had barely fallen when another powerful aura erupted. This time it was a rat-headed soul born from life and death.
The Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable was well-prepared and still spit out a rat-headed essence from his mouth for it to absorb.
If it weren't for the unique aura within Min Yuan and the astonishing ruthlessness of this place, Qi Yun wouldn't have come to Min Yuan to raise the Feng Huo Yun Hun Sheng Sha Flag. Even the formidable Cloud Demon Venerable wouldn't have needed to.
This journey was seen as a huge risk by people like Hou Yue, but he had been preparing for it for an extremely long time.
The original destination wasn't necessarily going to be Minyuan, it just happened that Minyuan was a more suitable choice at the time.
The fortified town withstood the onslaught of the wolf-men and scorpion hordes, which surged like a tide.
While the number of wolf-shaped scorpion is astonishing, under such a horrifying casualty rate, it has begun to dwindle.
The cumulative casualties have already exceeded hundreds of thousands, even large Luo Jinxian-level wolf scorpion has suffered casualties of three. Under the situation of almost leaderless, the remaining wolves and scorpions reluctantly retreated one after another.

“It seems that relying on a single Wolf Body Min Xie is not enough to allow himself and his subordinates to advance in large numbers.” Ji Yun Yao Gai’s eyes flickered for a moment before he began to move deeper into the layers of Min Yuan.
They then faced off against several tribes from the Min Yuan, whose strength varied greatly. Some were even stronger than the Wolf-bodied Scorpion by a significant margin, but the most ferocious of them all was the Scarlet Lion Beast.
The enemy almost breached the fortress several times. Twelve Cloudfang beasts died in battle, and four more were severely wounded and retreated into the fortress to recover.
The Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable's expression remained unchanged, his eyes devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
Under the onslaught of consecutive battles, he several times took action to slay powerful enemies. The most dangerous instance was when he faced four foes alone. Relying on the astonishing defenses of Fortress Yuncheng and outmaneuvering his opponents, he narrowly managed to repel them.
In this battle, he also suffered some injuries. Fortunately, he was able to transfer part of his wounds to the Shadow Soul he had refined, allowing it to bear a portion of the calamity for him.

After a short period of respite, the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable has recovered to normal and is still maintaining an extremely strong fighting power.
The path of cultivation is destined for only a select few to overcome the numerous trials and tribulations, ultimately ascending to higher realms. Some will reach their peak, while others will fall by the wayside; this is an inevitable part of the journey. While the Cloud-Anted Beast suffered heavy casualties, those who remain will undoubtedly advance further after this ordeal. Moreover, his Wind-Fire Cloud Soul Banner and this fortress, having endured countless battles over time, have been tempered by the blood and souls of both friend and foe, undergoing a metamorphosis.
The souls of the twelve zodiac animals have already begun to be refined by him, and the constantly slain enemies have become the best nourishment for this large banner. The Wind-Fire Cloud Soul Banner's sub-banners have also been refined into twelve poles. The six city gates of Youse Yun City are no longer enough to satisfy the growing demand. Now, the pressure has accumulated on the side of Yu Yun Yaozun, and it is necessary to quickly refine the other six city gates of Youse and make them match the twelve sub-banners.

After several battles, both the Yun City Fortress and the aura of the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable reached their peak.
The three fundamental laws of the universe, wind, fire, and ice, oscillated simultaneously, directly filling the entire Cloud City Fortress.
Several remaining Cloud Beasts looked at the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable, each with a look of emotion on their faces.
"My lord Demon Sovereign, are you preparing to break through to the realm of demon soul and demon body"
All the living beings also sent out a cheer, they could all sense the powerful aura emanating from the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable. After continuous bloody battles, they had finally ushered in the most peak moment.
As long as the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable can successfully advance, it will be a huge boost for all of them.
A surge of immense law fluctuation energy swept through the void. Within it lay corrosive, decaying power capable of turning anyone's blood to ice.
"Retreat!" The remaining cloud-bears reacted immediately.
Those souls were the banners of the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable, bound to move with him. However, they were merely his war beasts and couldn't participate in this celestial calamity. Not only could they not help the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable, but they would also have the opposite effect.
A tremendous roar echoed as waves surged forward, coalesced from the power of water laws in the void. They crashed like a raging ocean, engulfing everything in their path.
Within that surging wave, there was a chilling aura of the golden law's ruthlessness and sharpness, mixed with a strange coldness.
Where the tide passed, those souls with relatively weaker strength were directly severed by the power of the golden laws within, or frozen and then melted into water, disappearing without a trace.
The entire Yun Cheng Fortress appeared incredibly tiny beneath the towering waves. The Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable, with an unchanged expression, controlled his soul-born spirit to withstand this immense power.
This is also one of the reasons why the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable chose Min Yuan as his breakthrough realm. Through this series of battles, a large number of souls were collected, and a group of strong fighters were honed in the process of combat.
When cultivation wasn't enough, the more soul soldiers there were, the better. However, once their numbers reached a certain point, many drawbacks became apparent.
With so many under his command, it was becoming increasingly difficult for the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable to control them all with his mind. Individually, they were weak in combat. Facing the ever-increasingly powerful enemies, the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable felt a growing sense of powerlessness. To survive this celestial tribulation, according to the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable's prediction, being able to retain twelve zodiac-based souls would be considered a great victory. With the twelve zodiacs in his possession, even someone like冥玄霸玄, he would dare to challenge them after his breakthrough.
If the plan fails, the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable will have to settle for second best and lurk for a while before seeking revenge.

A wave after wave of destructive tides surged forward, within them water illusion techniques manifested all sorts of strange and wondrous beasts.
Although it couldn't escape the gaze of the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable, it was enough to make a considerable portion of souls unable to distinguish for a short time. For a moment, there was a chaotic fight, and screams echoed incessantly.
The surging power of natural disasters struck the Cloud City fortress continuously.
A giant woven from the powers of gold, water, and ice slowly rose from the tide. Its rugged face held no emotion as it swung its massive axe again and again towards the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord.
“The river of clouds surges, the sword emerges from the abyss!” The Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable slowly pushed out with a palm.
Suddenly, the clouds above Yun Cheng Fortress surged and danced, merging with the ink-blue night to create a sense of oppressive heaviness like a black cloud pressing down on the city.
The flying sword flashed, circling once in a blur. Several giant axes swung down were instantly shattered. However, these axes were formed by the power of law, and they grew back in an instant.

At the same time, monstrous waves transformed into countless sword shadows, the sword shadows surging like rivers, crashing towards the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable.
The twelve zodiac animals, each holding a child's banner, stand respectively on top of the twelve city gates. As they wave their banners, they create barriers that part the raging sea.
Countless souls surged out from the Child's Banner, engaging in a colossal battle with this near-infinite celestial tribulation.
This battle lasted for an immeasurable length of time, countless souls were extinguished in the process. Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable chose to have the twelve zodiac animals accompany him through the tribulation, so the pressure they bore naturally increased as well.

As the battle raged on, the Sky-Devouring Sword, which the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable had always relied upon, was shattered by those colossal axes.
The Supreme Demon Venerable of Polar Clouds roared angrily at the sky, and the Twelve Zodiac Animals also responded in unison, each transforming into a ghostly shadow that merged into the body of the Supreme Demon Venerable of Polar Clouds. At this moment, the demonic energy within the Supreme Demon Venerable of Polar Clouds reached its peak.
"Twelve Forms of the Heavenly Demon!" Jiuyun Yaozun took a step forward, his long shadow trailing behind him. Even Jiuyun Yaozun's face was constantly changing, appearing as if he were switching between different appearances: ox, horse, rat, tiger, and so on.

With a series of powerful palm strikes, the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable shattered each of the massive axes wielded by the successive attackers. Every strike sent ripples through the air as his figure danced and shifted, like a dragon swimming through the void or a tiger pouncing through the wilderness...
The entire Yun Cheng Fortress was like a gigantic formation, and in an instant, the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable could appear anywhere within the fortress.
Amidst a series of violent explosions, twelve shadowy figures darted out from within the body of the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable and swiftly retreated back inside. The giant of laws outside scattered in an instant. The torrent receded, and silence once again prevailed in the void.
Twelve powerful auras surged from the body of the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable, eventually merging into one.
The primordial spirit of the Supreme Demon Venerable Jiyun rose from within his body, like a giant whale opening its mouth, absorbing the laws and principles of heaven and earth at an astonishing speed.
The primordial spirit directly merged with the power of the laws, at this moment the world in his eyes became even more transparent.
Originally, under that veil of ink-green, the entire expanse of Min Yuan was also shrouded in mist for him.
Although it still cannot achieve the same level as the outside world, where divine thoughts can easily reach areas thousands of miles away. This is undoubtedly a world of difference compared to before.
“Congratulations, Lord Demon Venerable, your divine powers are complete!” The remaining several Cloud Ancestor Beasts were overjoyed and rushed forward to congratulate him. “The flood washes the sand, leaving behind only the true gold. You have all gone through the baptism of tribulation, and your future prospects are limitless. Those who are injured should seize the opportunity to heal, and after a short rest, follow this seat back. The Pluto Axe, Ba Xuan, is pressing hard on me, it’s time to collect the debt from him.”
The murderous intent in Ji Yun Yao Zun's eyes was no longer able to be concealed.

Although the Swallowing Abyss Sword was heavily damaged, its sword embryo had already been withdrawn into his body. It wouldn't break and it wouldn't stand, so this period of time was just right for him to nurture it well. Further advancements were only a matter of time.
“Yes, Demon Lord!” The remaining Cloud Ox beasts were all excited, their spirits soaring as if a single person's success lifted them all.

The crowd of cloud beasts is also considered to have gone through hardships. With the guidance of the extreme cloud demon venerables, it's just a matter of time before they advance to the next realm.
Ji Yun Yao Zun and his group of Yun An beasts rested on the spot. After such a massive heavenly tribulation, they desperately needed to recuperate. Leaving Min Yuan afterward wouldn't be easy either.
Just as the Extreme Cloud Demon Sovereign was taking a rest, his subordinate demon army stationed outside Min Yuan also encountered a calamity. A howling gale swept in, sending sand and rocks flying everywhere, making it difficult for even ordinary demons to stand firm. Many with lower cultivation levels were directly torn apart by the raging wind, their bodies becoming numerous limbs.
Mixed with blood falling.
“Enemy attack, form your battle lines!” Hou Yue roared, but sensing the imposing aura within the gale, his expression changed once more. The inevitable had come. The infamous Demonic Axe, Ba Xuan, had finally caught up to them.

Before the monkey's words could even settle, a figure emerged from the wind and sand. It was as dark as night, its body like a towering mountain, bearing a giant axe upon its shoulders.

The other party's cold eyes looked down at the dense army of demons in front of him. Even though these demon soldiers were numerous to a shocking degree, without enough powerful figures to command them, they were nothing more than ants to Mo Axe Baixuan.
Even battle formations that posed a slight threat appeared full of flaws in his eyes.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
To actually dare to resist, how truly ignorant of one's own mortality.
Baixuan stomped his foot, and in the roaring wind, it sounded as if something had been crushed. The explosive sound instantly rippled outward like a spike.
In an instant, thousands of demon troops were slain by these successive sound waves.

A powerful aura swept in, suppressing all demon troops into eerie silence.
The disparity in strength was too great. Without the presence of the Extreme Cloud Demon Sovereign, this demonic army would be nothing more than a rabble before the might of the Nether Axe Hegemon Xuan.
The Divine Awareness of Ba Xuan moved slightly, and the wind and sand in the void condensed into a palm shadow, crushing down toward Hou Yue's head in an instant.
With all his remaining strength, the monkey surged forward. He thrust both palms upward simultaneously, unleashing a powerful blow that sent a deafening roar echoing through the air. The sheer force of the impact caused blood to spray from his opponent's body, and he crumpled to his knees in defeat.
As a steward of the extremely cloud young master, I've heard you still have some loyalty. However, this strength is simply too pathetic.
Baixuan said disdainfully, but if he had exerted even a little more effort, this monkey would have already been reduced to ashes.
Looking at these men, now utterly cowed and subdued, Ba Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of boredom.
"Come on, where did Ji Yun go Tell me the truth and I'll let you die a quick death." Ba Xuan said coldly.

"Since all the seniors have arrived here, I presume you already have your answers. Why ask again" Hou Yue let out a bitter laugh, but before he could finish his words, his leg exploded in a burst of gore.
"Please, spare me, seniors!" Hou Yue's eyes betrayed his fear.
"Mercy Perhaps. But before that, I must kill a batch to appease the spirit of my brother in heaven." The voice of the Ghost Axe Baixuan was chillingly grave.

“As a trusted confidant of Ji Yun Xiaoren, I will spare your life for now and let you witness how I obliterate the army that Ji Yun Xiaoren raised. After destroying this demonic force, I will send you on your way.”Before his words could fade, thunder and fire surged around them, electric dragons danced, and flames splashed everywhere. Thunderbolts and blazing giant axes materialized and slashed wildly, instantly causing shrieks of terror and panic. The scene that was moments ago filled with throngs of people was now littered with corpses.
At this time, the demon army had become a scattered mob. Without a powerful leader to command them, they were no match for the might of Ming Axe Bah Xuan. Bah Xuan single-handedly crushed the demon army's morale. Every strike, whether it was a thunderous blow or the swing of his flaming giant axe, resulted in hundreds of casualties. Even though this demon army was numerous, facing a powerful warrior like Bah Xuan, they were nothing but a loose collection of individuals, unable to coordinate their attacks and ultimately met their demise.
“My brother, today I shall slaughter a million demon troops to honor your spirit in heaven.” With another swing of his axe, he unleashed a force powerful enough to cleave mountains and shatter the sea. Thousands of fleeing demon troops were pulverized by the violent tremors. Countless demons perished beneath the raging thunder and fire.
