Nima, just as he was about to rise and strive to update more, the next day he was completely done for, being conscripted to move, exhausted to the point of barely finishing, and he was just packing up his things. The Daoist found time to return and write a chapter, then they went out to drink together.
Let me say this, the Daoist will rise tomorrow, at least three updates!
This time, I mean what I say, and I will act on my words.
Rays of sunlight in the sky, like waves, swept down.
On the ground, an intense battle was raging.
The Great Marsh Demon Commander was full of momentum. Although his strength was suppressed by the Demon Subduing Array, he himself was exceptionally sharp, with wide and open moves, no defensive stance, constantly attacking, this was the strategy of the Great Marsh Demon Commander.
His weapon was cold and sharp, rumbling in the air. Like most demons, he preferred close combat.
This was the instinct of demons. The strength of demons lay in their physical bodies, unlike humans who liked to cultivate spells and study magical treasures, demons were most skilled in close combat.
Thunder condensed and descended from the sky, fiercely striking down.
Only by slaying the Great Marsh Earth Spirit in front of him could he turn the tide.
And the Great Marsh Earth Spirit, daring to ambush the Great Marsh Demon Commander, naturally had some reliance.
He did not confront the Great Marsh Demon Commander head-on at all. The Great Marsh Earth Spirit constantly engaged in guerrilla warfare, evading the Great Marsh Demon Commander's attacks.
The original strength of the Great Marsh Earth Spirit was equivalent to the power of the fourth thunder tribulation, and compared to the Great Marsh Demon Commander's eighth thunder tribulation, there was a gap of four thunder tribulations, a significant difference.
For the Thunder Tribulation stage, it is divided into three periods in total.
The first three thunder tribulations are one level, reaching the fourth thunder tribulation will bring a qualitative change, and the seventh thunder tribulation is the same.
This can be described as the Heavenly Gate. The Great Marsh Earth Spirit has passed the first Heavenly Gate, while the Great Marsh Demon Commander has passed the second Heavenly Gate.
The difference in strength is significant. If they were to engage in a direct confrontation, the Great Marsh Demon Commander could easily defeat the Great Marsh Earth Spirit.
All along, the Great Marsh Earth Spirit could match the Great Marsh Demon Commander because he was a deity, possessing a divine office, able to mobilize the power of the Great Marsh Mountain to temporarily enhance his own strength, and he never engaged in a direct confrontation with the Great Marsh Demon Commander. Although he was at a disadvantage, the Great Marsh Demon Commander could not win after a long battle.
The Demon Subduing Array now played its role, reducing the strength of the Great Marsh Demon Commander. The Thunder Tribulation stage is different from other realms. Like the Yuan Shen stage, it does not fall to a lower major realm, but the Great Marsh Demon Commander's strength, which had passed the second Heavenly Gate, was reduced to the first Heavenly Gate.
In theory, the Great Marsh Demon Commander was still stronger, but this does not take into account the strength enhancement the Great Marsh Earth Spirit gained through his divine office. If this is taken into account, then the one with the advantage is not the Great Marsh Demon Commander, but the Great Marsh Earth Spirit.
However, even so, the Great Marsh Earth Spirit did not engage in a desperate fight with the Great Marsh Demon Commander, but adopted a guerrilla warfare strategy, constantly attacking from a distance and moving around.
This made the Great Marsh Demon Commander secretly angry. It can be said that the Great Marsh Earth Spirit was extremely cautious.
He was not rash at all. Although his strength was now stronger, his cautious attitude was to tie down the Great Marsh Demon Commander, then use the power of the Demon Subduing Array to let his subordinates, the commanders, slay all the other demon generals. In the end, they would surround the Great Marsh Demon Commander. Even if the Great Marsh Demon Commander was strong, he would have no way to turn the tide and would surely lose.
The strategy of the Great Marsh Earth Spirit was clearly very practical, not showing off, and not giving the Great Marsh Demon Commander any chance.
The Great Marsh Demon Commander was not a fool. As a wolf demon, his intelligence was not low. He had been attacking strongly because he wanted to slay the Great Marsh Earth Spirit, thus resolving everything. But when he realized that the other party was not engaging in a desperate fight but only tying him down, and after a long battle, he directly abandoned the Great Marsh Earth Spirit and wanted to go to support others.
At this point, he had already seen through the strategy of the Great Marsh Earth Spirit.
A hero cannot withstand a pack of wolves. One, two, or three commanders, the Great Marsh Demon Commander could ignore, but if the commanders exceeded five, even the Great Marsh Demon Commander would not be able to handle them, especially with the cooperation of the Great Marsh Earth Spirit.
As soon as the Great Marsh Demon Commander moved, the Great Marsh Earth Spirit saw through his intentions. He did not stop him at all, stroking his thick three-strand beard, and watched the Great Marsh Demon Commander's actions with a cold smile.
It was too late. Now everyone had been separated. If he wanted to provide support, he might not even be able to find anyone.
The Great Marsh Earth Spirit did not immediately stop the Great Marsh Demon Commander's actions. He followed him from a distance, occasionally making small moves, constantly creating trouble for the Great Marsh Demon Commander, making it impossible for him to fully focus on finding others.
It can be said that the Great Marsh Earth Spirit's calculations were extremely successful.
These commanders under the Great Marsh Earth Spirit, although their numbers were many, in terms of true strength, they were not too advantageous compared to the demon generals.
The resources of the Great Marsh Mountain were mostly occupied by the Great Marsh Demon Commander. If it were not for the lack of unity and cohesion, the cultivation of demon generals would not be inferior to the commanders under the Great Marsh Earth Spirit.
This was the difference between the scattered demons and the proper deities with divine offices.
Under the Great Marsh Earth Spirit, all the commanders had official positions and were officially recognized by the Heavenly Court.
It was just that the distance from the Heavenly Court was too great.
But no matter how far the distance, they were still people of the Heavenly Court. The Great Marsh Earth Spirit had the Heavenly Court as a backing, able to subdue all the commanders and make them submit to him.
Especially the commanders under the Great Marsh Earth Spirit, many of whom were originally the Great Marsh Mountain deities, later gathered by the Great Marsh Earth Spirit through various means.
This was the reason for his growing power. They followed the divine path, with different cultivation methods. As long as they had an official position and the corresponding incense offerings, they could have formidable strength.
The demon generals, falling to a lower major realm, were suddenly at a disadvantage, being suppressed by the commanders under the Great Marsh Earth Spirit.
The losses were heavy. Many demon generals, such as the tiger-headed demon general, were already injured, and with the sudden change, they were caught off guard, unable to resist, and were brutally killed by the other party.
This scene occurred in many places, not just one.
This was also why Yang Qifeng did not dare to delay and wanted to quickly break the array. Otherwise, if all the demon generals were killed, unless the Great Marsh Demon Commander had overwhelming strength, showing a crushing state, able to match all the people of the Great Marsh Earth Spirit alone, this battle would surely be lost.
