Divine God Against The Heavens

All the Sand Demons started escaping underground after seeing that the Black Sandstorm was coming.

Cao Shang also didn't give chase because he knew that this wasn't the time to give chase. If he really chased after those Sand Demons, not only will he fall in danger, he might even put the lives of all the demons and demonic cultivators in his group in danger.

"Quick, everyone gather over here!" Cao Shang hurriedly shouted.

It has to be said that Cao Shang was really worthy of being called the Leader. Although he was a demon, he didn't leave behind his group in danger and escaped by himself. Instead, he wanted to save everybody's life and successfully cross the Black Desert.

The demons of Ye Xiao's group quickly gathered including Ye Xiao and Yi Meng. No one dared to underestimate Black Sandstorm because they could feel great danger from the coming sandstorm.

Even the leader of the bandits who was at the Late Stage of Ancient Demon Realm turned pale and immediately ordered everyone in his team to escape for their lives. What did they count as?

"Xuan Fei, quickly clear the sand below. We'll go down and wait for the Sandstorm to pass!"

Cao Shang hurriedly shouted at the demonic cultivator called Xuan Fei.

To be able to cause Cao Shang to become this anxious, this Black Sandstorm must be extremely dangerous. Without saying a word, Xuan Fei directly broke through the layer of sand on the ground and went inside.

Following this, Cao Shang, Ye Xiao, Yi Meng, and the others also continued going downwards.

Amongst this group of demons, only Xuan Fei had comprehended the Law of Sand and Law of Wind. This was a desert and everywhere was only sand. Therefore, Xuan Fei's speed was much faster than other demons.

"The Black Sandstorm is the most dangerous thing in the Black Desert. Even I might die. Later on, I will create a barrier and you all will have to use all your power to condense something. You must not be swept away by the Black Sandstorm."

Cao Shang followed Xuan Fei while shouting. He calculated the time and immediately condensed the barrier, wrapping it around all of the demons and demonic cultivators.

It was also the time when the Black Sandstorm arrived above them.

Right now, they were underground, and above them was the Black Sandstorm. It has to be said that the Black Sandstorm was extremely terrifying. Even though all of them were underground right now, they were still affected by the Black Sandstorm.

Very Soon, everyone felt something extremely dangerous.

The layer after layer of sand was being swept away by the Black Sandstorm and in just two minutes of time, all of them were revealed to the Black Sandstorm.

Everywhere was only black right now, causing everyone's sight to be disrupted. No one was able to see anything, they could only rely on their senses to feel their surroundings.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the thirteen of them staggered and immediately knew that they were lifted up into the air by the Black Sandstorm.

"Quick, everyone, inject your demonic energy in the barrier. We have to maintain this barrier and not let it break. Otherwise, all of us will be swept away by the Black Sandstorm and who knows where everyone will fall?"

Seeing the current situation, Cao Shang hurried to remind everyone.

Everyone started doing what Cao Shang told them to do. Ye Xiao was no exception.

Just now, when he took a glance, this Black Sandstorm gave him the feeling as if countless sharp wind blades enforced by sand were manifesting and were about to strike the barrier. It was as if the Black Sandstorm had its own intelligence and knew that the demons inside were resisting it.

If any demon were to face the sharp wind blades of the Black Sandstorm, they would probably be sliced to death immediately, even the Late Stage Dao Manifestation Realm demons would not be able to survive.

"Ka-cha!" "Ka-cha!"

Although Cao Shang was a Late Stage Ancient Demon Realm demon with no injuries, the barrier he created around everyone was unable to fully resist the Black Sandstorm's chaotic power. At this moment, the barrier had already formed many cracks and sand was constantly seeping in.

The condition of the barrier became like this even though it was being enforced by everyone's demonic energy.

Of course, Yi Meng was an exception.

Ye Xiao stopped her from doing anything stupid in time. She was not a demonic cultivator and could not use the demonic energy. And he didn't let her use the spirit energy because it will reveal the fact that Yi Meng was an immortal cultivator, not a demonic cultivator.

"We must endure until the end of the Black Sandstorm!"

Seeing the situation of the barrier, Cao Shang shouted with a gloomy face, trying to encourage everyone's morel.

It was not Cao Shang's first time coming to the Black Desert. He had crossed the Black Desert many times and even encountered the Black Sandstorm one time in his life.

Everyone only knew that the Black Sandstorm was extremely dangerous and could kill Late Stage Ancient Demon Realm demons. What others don't know is that even the Dao Manifestation Realm demons could possibly perish inside the Black Sandstorm.

After he encountered the Black Sandstorm for the first time, Cao Shang started gathering as much information about it as possible. And after years of gathering information and researching, he concluded that the Black Sandstorm was not a natural phenomenon. There might be someone or something behind the appearance of the Black Sandstorm.

He had confirmed this fact just a few days ago and now, he was going to the Eastern Wasteland to give this information to his brother, who was also one of the core members of the Black Blade Demon Sect that was one of the three top power of the Eastern Wasteland.

Who would have thought that before he could even cross the Black Sandstorm, he'll encounter the Black Sandstorm again?

Although he was a Late Stage Ancient Demon Realm demon and had no injuries on his body yet, he still did not dare guarantee that he would be able to survive, let alone save everyone in his group.

He estimated that if he were to be caught in this Black Sandstorm, he would only have a seventy percent chance of survival if he were to try to survive alone.

As for surviving with everyone in his group, Cao Shang estimated that there was less than a 30% chance of survival.

This was the Black Sandstorm, the sandstorm that even the Sand Demons, who always stayed in the Black Desert, were afraid of.

Cao Shang immediately made his decision. After the barrier will break, he'll only care about escaping from the clutches of Black Sandstorm by himself and not care about others' life. He had a treasure that can easily get him out of the Black Sandstorm. This treasure was given to him by his brother.

There was not a trace of light. Everywhere was black and no one could see anything in the Black Sandstorm. He believed that no one will be able to guess that he had abandoned them and escaped by himself.

What he doesn't know is that Ye Xiao was observing every single thing inside the Black Sandstorm with his Divine Sense. There was nothing that escaped from his Divine Sense. Everything was as clear as day.

"Ka-cha!" "Ka-cha!"

Even though everyone was doing their best to repair the gap of the barrier, they were unable to repair it completely. In less than ten seconds, a large hole was cut in the already damaged barrier.

Everyone looked towards the gap and saw darkness, but they could smell the faint smell of blood.

None of them knew if it was the blood of those Sand Demons or some Sand Demonic Beast, what they knew was that everyone had already fallen into an extremely dangerous situation.

"It's over. I think we can't hold on to the barrier any longer. Everyone follow me, charge out!"

With a loud shout, Cao Shang took the lead to rush out of the gap. The moment he was about to go out of the gap, he took out a skull and crushed it. Immediately, a black gas covered his entire body and Cao Shang disappeared.

No one was able to see anything except for Ye Xiao. Everyone only thought that Cao Shang had gone out of the gap.

Xuan Fei was the one who followed behind Cao Shang immediately but in the next moment, his painful scream was heard and something's tearing sound came. After that, only the sound of Black Sandstorm continued to echo out.

Everyone understood that Xuan Fei was unable to escape his fate. He died the moment he went out of the barrier through the large hole.

Everyone was terrified. But before they could even do something, a sharp wind black blade came slicing through the huge hole in the barrier and cut down two demons in half before colliding the other side of the barrier.
