Another bolt of lightning erupted from the Thunderclap Tower, amplifying the already overwhelming sea of lightning.
The Demon Kings unleashed their power to shield the Demon army, but even so, some Demons still couldnât withstand the lightning and perished under its fury.
Feng Yimingâs eyes lit up with joy, âIt seems Godly General Lin has taken full control of the Thunderclap Tower!â
His respect for Lin Moyu deepened. This man, in his eyes, was no less than a deity.
Indeed, Lin Moyu had completely mastered the Thunderclap Tower. That earlier bolt of lightning had merely been a test.
The Thunderclap Tower was the core of Shenxia Cityâs grand formation, serving both offensive and defensive purposes.
Lin Moyu realized that Feng Yiming hadnât been exaggerating. Whoever controlled the Thunderclap Tower held the key to making Shenxia City utterly impregnable.
Not to mention the current Demon army and a few Demon Kings, even if their forces doubled, they still wouldnât be able to break through.
Lin Moyu was certain Feng Yiming had prepared a contingency. Even if he hadn't taken control of the tower, someone else would have.
He knew the military too wellâthey never gambled without a backup plan. But now that he had taken command, the battle could effectively be considered over.
Lightning surged through Lin Moyuâs body as he synchronized with the Thunder Core.
At that moment, man and tower became one, and Shenxia City's full might was unleashed.
The cityâs formation drew power from the very ground of the Immemorial Battlefield.
Over the years, Shenxia City had absorbed and stored a vast amount of energy, now fully at Lin Moyuâs command.
âIâve never fought a battle with resources this abundant.â He murmured, awed.
With a wave of his hand, bolts of lightning ejected out from the Thunderclap Tower.
The tower itself began to grow in size, and the lightning became even more terrifying.
The energy shield, which had been on the verge of collapse under the Demon armyâs relentless assault, suddenly became incredibly stable.
At the same time, the sea of lightning expanded in range, cascading like a waterfall and engulfing everything within a 10-kilometer radius of the city.
Lin Moyu had completely encircled the Demon army in lightning, and panic and chaos swept through their ranks.
Sensing the shift, the Demon Kings ordered an all-out assault.
But no matter how fiercely the Demons attacked, Shenxia Cityâs shield now stood firm, unyielding as stone.
Feng Yiming laughed aloud, âItâs useless! Unless your Demon Emperor personally intervenes, this city is untouchable!â
His words infuriated the Demon Kings.
One of them snarled, âA mere shield? Donât make me laugh. Watch as I shatter it!â
The Demon King surged forward, Abyssal Fire trailing behind him. A blue flame ignited in his palmâno ordinary fire, but Icefire, a terrifyingly cold blaze that danced like a normal flame.
Lin Moyu immediately recognized him: the Icefire Demon King, master of the water element, who wielded it to conjure this unnatural cold flame.
With a furious roar, the Demon King slammed his palm into the energy shield.
The shield trembled violently as Icefire spread across its surface, covering more than half of it in moments.
The shield distorted slightly, then stabilized.
The Icefire Demon Kingâs eyes widened in disbelief. Snarling, he poured even more power into the next strike.
The shield turned entirely blue, yet still held firm.
Lin Moyu shook his head. Even if the five Demon Kings and the Gloom Demon King joined forces, they wouldnât break through this thin veil of energy.
Feng Yiming hadn't exaggerated.
Unless the Demon Emperor himself intervened, the shield wouldnât break.
Murderous intent flickered in Lin Moyuâs eyes.
A streak of lightning fell from the sky like a divine sword, piercing straight into the Icefire Demon King.
The Icefire Demon King instantly. Two seconds later, he coughed up blood.
Lightning erupted from within his body, blood gushed from all over his body. The Icefire that had enveloped him vanished, and his aura weakened significantlyâhe was severely injured.
Letting out a desperate scream, he turned and fled. In an instant, he crossed thousands of meters.
A spatial passage opened before him, abyssal aura spilling out.
âYou canât escape.â Lin Moyu said with a calm, cold chuckle.
Two more bolts of lightning flashed down at impossible speed. One struck the spatial passage, obliterating it. The other hit the Icefire Demon King, causing him to freeze midair.
A second later, his body exploded. A sphere of lightning hovered in the airânothing remained of his flesh, blood, or soul.
Lin Moyu, through the Thunderclap Tower, had unleashed a killing blow: Godslaying Lightning, a strike capable of annihilating even God-level beings.
Silence fell over the battlefield.
The mighty Icefire Demon King was slain in an instant. Just two bolts of lightning, and he was gone.
Shenxia City was terrifying beyond words.
The Thunderclap Tower spun slowly overhead, instilling a deep, primal fear in all who watched.
The remaining Demon Kings felt a chill grip their hearts. Though powerful, they valued their lives.
One by one, they opened spatial channels in a desperate attempt to flee.
Even the hidden Gloom Demon King was shaken, but he remained still, waiting in the shadows.
Spatial channels shimmered to life as the Demon Kings prepared to escape.
As for the Demon army⊠they were simply abandoned.
Suddenly, faint bolts of lightning arced from above, shattering the spatial channels.
Lin Moyu's calm voice echoed: "Since you're here, don't even think about leaving."
Panic spread across the Demon Kings' faces.
In the sky, thunder roared, and bolts of Godslaying Lightning rained down.
Their Demon Kings' expressions turned ashen. They unleashed their full power in a last-ditch effort to survive.
As Demon Kings, unleashing their full power in the lower layer would cause them to be forced back into the deep layers within minutes.
But that was exactly their goal now.
If they could just hold on for a few minutes, they might escape with their lives.
Lin Moyu knew exactly what they were thinking. But under the might of the Godslaying Lightning, they stood no chance.
Aside from the Gloom Demon King, who still remained hidden in the shadows, the other four Demon Kings had joined forces in an attempt to resist the Godslaying Lightning.
The rest of the Demons were fully exposed within the sea of lightning.
Screams echoed relentlessly as numerous Demons fell like raindrops from the sky.
Feng Yimingâs eyes glowed. Lin Moyu had fully synchronized with the Thunderclap Tower.
Under his control, the Thunderclap Tower unleashed its legendary power.
After countless years, the Godslaying Lightning had once again appeared in the world.
Feng Yiming had only read about the Godslaying Lightning in ancient records. Never had he witnessed it with his own eyes, until now.
The seemingly small bolts of lightning carried a terrifying, destructive force.
âItâs said that the Godslaying Lightning contains law power, capable of slaying Demon Kings as easily as slaughtering dogs. It appears the legends were true.â
âOnly laws can counter laws.â
âI wonder just how much of the Thunderclap Towerâs true power Godly General Lin can unleash.â
Feng Yiming came from a powerful family and was well-versed in many secrets.
At this moment, his entire body trembled with excitement.
As a human soldier, he was thrilled to see Demon Kings being annihilated.
And he wasnât the only one. When the Icefire Demon King fell, everyone in the city was overwhelmed with joy, nearly bursting into cheers.
One after another, bolts of Godslaying Lightning rained down. The remaining four Demon Kings looked as if they were on the verge of death.
Finally, one Demon King could no longer endure it and roared, âGloom Demon King, if you donât act now, weâre all going to die!â
âGloom Demon King, do something!â
Faced with imminent death, even Demon Kings were overcome with fear, teetering on the edge of collapse.
They no longer cared about their original plan and cried out for the only one who might be able to save them.
âUseless fools!â
A scornful voice rang out. The Gloom Demon King realized he could no longer remain hidden.
He revealed his form, his slender figure appearing in the open air.
His wings suddenly unfurled. Though his body was as thin as a bamboo stalk, his wingspan was astonishing, stretching over 20 meters.
Abyssal aura surged from his wings, forming a black curtain in the air that shielded against the Godslaying Lightning.
His true power was fully unleashed, far surpassing that of the other four Demon Kings.
He shielded the four Demon Kings, giving them a moment to recover.
Then, with a sinister smile, he charged toward the energy shield.
As the Gloom Demon King touched the shield, his body liquefied and seeped into it.
On the other side, his form slowly began to reassemble.
Lin Moyu recalled the records about the Gloom Demon King, a being capable of penetrating any object.
Even energy shields, it seemed.
But the process was slow.
Lin Moyu had known this all along: âIâve been waiting for you.â
With a thought, the shield solidified instantly.
The slowly reassembling Gloom Demon King froze abruptly.
Then, a bolt of Godslaying Lightning arced along the shield.
With a shriek, the Gloom Demon King tore himself free and retreated, reforming in midair.
âYou tricked me!â He snarled, eyes blazing.
This Godslaying Lightning was far stronger than the previous ones.
Had it struck the Icefire Demon King, one bolt would have killed him.
Only now did the Gloom Demon King realize that Lin Moyu had discovered him from the start, and laid a trap for him.
