Chapter 745
Renewed Alliance
However, this all-out sword strike was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of the five-colored radiance.
In the blink of an eye, the five-colored light flowed and vanished without a trace, also swallowing up the Daoist Venerable.
"This……"
The sect leader of the Hidden Sword Sect was about to offer assistance when he saw a flash of five-colored light, and his Dao Venerable disciple vanished without a trace, not even a drop of blood essence or a trace of divine consciousness or soul remained.
A Daoist master who could dominate the world could perish on this battlefield with just a moment's carelessness.
Everyone was shocked, and all their hidden potential was unleashed at this moment.
Rays of light protected his entire body.
"We can suppress the Demon Lord by using the methods left behind by the Dao Lord and the Demon Lord, let alone when they use them personally?"
The leader of the Douxing Sect spoke in a low voice, raised his hand, and countless starlight fell from the sky.
"Let's go! Let's leave now, we absolutely cannot stay here any longer!"
Taiwu Daozun immediately made a decision, and all the Daozun present agreed.
This place is far too dangerous. If we want to survive, we must get away from this battlefield.
"rise!"
Without further hesitation, Jiang Shu raised his hand, and divine light burst forth from the chaotic space!
The aura of the Great Path of Space spread out, and a divine bridge radiating brilliant light stretched out beneath Jiang Shu's feet.
At this moment, the World Tree and the Tongtian Jianmu within Jiang Shu's body have recovered somewhat after devouring the remains of the Ruomu and Fusang Ancient Tree!
If you don't go now, when will you wait?
Regardless of which demon lord wins next, it will certainly not benefit them.
In an instant, one Venerable One after another jumped onto the long bridge, preparing to rush directly from the ninth level of the Pantheon Cave to the outside world.
However, at that moment, starlight suddenly appeared in the void.
A figure bathed in moonlight suddenly appeared before Jiang Shu and the others.
"You cannot leave yet."
A melodious and gentle voice rang out, and the figure of the Heavenly Queen Xi'e appeared before everyone.
At this moment, many of the human race's Venerable Ones were shocked, but they immediately became vigilant and ready to take action at any time.
In the void, the figure of Empress Xi'e appeared completely transparent, as if a single breath could disperse this powerful demon lord from his previous life.
"Senior, please step aside quickly. I'm afraid that Heavenly Emperor is currently unable to spare any resources to save you."
Jiang Shu stood at the very front of the many venerable ones and spoke in a loud voice.
Prior to this, the two sides had essentially broken off all pretense of civility, especially since the Heavenly Empress had even attracted the Burning Heaven Ancestor to attack him.
However, Xi'e simply smiled slightly and then spoke:
"It's not me stopping you, it's those two."
The Empress raised her hand and pointed to the battlefield, where the Dragon Lord and the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord were fighting.
“Those two fellow Daoists have already sealed off the inside and outside, and suppressed the area with the Imperial Palace. If you want to leave, you will have to use your Dao Lord abilities to break through that Imperial Palace. Otherwise, you will absolutely not be able to leave.”
The Demon Clan's Imperial Palace!?
Upon hearing these words, the human powerhouses were all taken aback.
Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes and immediately sensed the changes in the world. He had indeed sensed through the Tongtian Jianmu that the Demon Clan Imperial Palace was blocking their way through the void on their only route.
"Since that's the case, why do you stop us, senior? Wouldn't it be wonderful to just sit back and watch us fight to the death? Or do you have some other ideas?"
Jiang Shu frowned and immediately asked.
At this moment, with the Tongtian Jianmu in his hands, the key to Jiang Shu leading many Dao Venerables out was for him to speak and discuss.
"An interesting junior..."
Xi'e looked at Jiang Shu, a hint of interest appearing in her eyes, and smiled charmingly:
"Times have changed. Perhaps we can reconcile and cooperate again."
"Reconciliation, at this very moment?"
Jiang Shu's expression remained unchanged. In such a dangerous place, alliance and betrayal were separated by a single thought.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Just now, it was you who brought the Burning Heaven Ancestor here, causing us to suffer a great calamity. Now you want to cooperate with us? Isn't that absurd?"
"certainly……"
Xi'e's expression remained unchanged:
“If you had just died at the hands of that phoenix, there would have been no need for cooperation. After all, you were not strong enough. But now it’s different.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Xi'e raised her hand and grabbed, and beams of precious light flew out from her sleeve.
"These things are the other half of the reward I promised you before, and I am now giving them to you as an apology."
"Besides that, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me to break into the Imperial Palace, there will naturally be other benefits to offer, not to mention..."
Xi'e smiled slightly and said:
“If you do not cooperate with me now, your human race will have a Dao Lord descend from the vast Cangmang Domain, otherwise there will be no way to break through that imperial palace.”
"If you cooperate with me, I can guarantee that you will leave and I will also give you two generous gifts."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xi'e raised her hand and grabbed, and suddenly two more radiant orbs of light appeared.
One of them radiated a brilliant light like the warm sun, surrounded by the Great Dao of Creation, while the other was slightly gray, yet it radiated the brilliance of the moon and the Great Dao of Destruction.
Upon seeing these two items, the many Venerable Ones present felt a tremor in their hearts, and immediately recognized their origins.
Seed of the Sacred Tree!
Seeds of the ancient hibiscus tree, also known as the wakame tree.
If they can be cultivated, perhaps two sacred trees will be harvested many years from now.
It should be known that the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race was named after the three great divine trees: Ruomu, Fusang, and Tongtian Jianmu, which overlooked the heavens and earth, hence the name Heavenly Court.
Prior to this, many human venerables believed that apart from the Tongtian Jianmu, the other two divine trees had already been damaged and collapsed.
Jiang Shu raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the many seniors behind him.
At this moment, divine thoughts collided among the crowd, and one will after another was transmitted.
"Cooperation is not out of the question. Our resources have not yet been fully unleashed. This diva is not qualified to use us as cannon fodder."
"The Queen's trump card should have been fully revealed. We just need to wait patiently for the battle between the two sides. We might just be the ones to stalk the cicada in the back."
"We still need to be more careful. The Empress has laid out so many measures; she may have a backup plan."
These exchanges happened in the blink of an eye.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, they would naturally be shocked by the Empress's fickle nature.
But those who can enter this place are all ancient monsters who have cultivated for thousands of years.
Of course, they know that profit is the root of everything.
The Dao Lord and Demon Lord are far stronger than these Dao Venerables.
Both sides are currently stretched thin, and with the two sides evenly matched, the addition of one side could indeed create a tiny bit of an advantage in terms of winning.
Judging from the current situation, the slight disadvantage is enough to determine the outcome.
Both sides must have other means.
After exchanging views with the many Venerables present, Jiang Shu, at the behest of Taiwu Daozun, asked:
"The Empress has a truly brilliant plan. If that's the case, it's not impossible for us to take action. But can you afford the price, senior?"
Does it matter whether you can afford the price or not?
"Don't you humans fear being blocked by the demon imperial palace and trapped here to die?"
Empress Xi'e opened her mouth in a sinister tone.
In her view, the only way forward for humanity was to cooperate with her. However, upon hearing these words, the many Venerables present remained unfazed, and Jiang Shu was equally undaunted.
"Perhaps we can try to destroy the entire Tongtian Jianmu tree and exhaust its resources completely. Would that allow us to unleash a considerable amount of space? Besides, we are waiting for the methods of a Dao Lord. Surely we can break through the crack?"
Jiang Shu immediately let out a cold laugh, his voice calm:
"Perhaps the demon race will catch up, but right now the battle over there is clearly more important, and they are unlikely to make us their primary target."
"That's not necessarily true. If we kill you and feed you to the immortal embryos, it might allow them to return to the Demon Lord realm more quickly after they are reborn."
Xi'e immediately spoke.
"Senior, why don't we be frank and tell each other the truth?"
Jiang Shu, however, remained calm and fearless.
At this moment, it was Xi'e who came to beg them!
"What a sharp-tongued young man."
Xi'e glanced at the many humans present, then nodded and said, "In that case, I agree. What do you need?"
Upon hearing Xi'e speak like this, Taiwu Daozun's heart sank.
The diva agreed quite readily at this point, so there are only two possibilities.
First, the situation is extremely tense, and they no longer have control over everything.
The second is to completely eliminate them.
Neither of these is good news for them.
……
At the same time, in the void, the Demon Clan Imperial Palace slowly approached with an overwhelming aura of suppressing everything, and countless rays of light rippled out and stretched across the void.
At this moment, the imperial palace is sealing off the void.
"hold head high!"
A desolate dragon roar echoed as Ao Qing led the numerous demon lords back to the underground palace.
As soon as they landed, many of the heavily injured demon lords present breathed a sigh of relief.
Without a doubt, this was a near-death experience for them as well.
Several demon lords also perished in the battles between those demon masters.
"Fellow Daoist Ao Qing."
Just as the demon lords returned, a demon lord who had transformed into human form and was dressed in colorful robes stepped out.
This demon lord was the one who transmitted the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord that day.
Ao Qing remained calm and composed, but in a flash, he transformed into a half-human, half-dragon form.
After all, now that their own dragon clan's demon lord has arrived, there's no need to be subservient to others.
"According to the agreement between the Dragon and Phoenix clans, it is now up to you and me to join forces to seal off the void in order to prevent any unforeseen events from occurring."
"As it should be."
Ao Qing immediately nodded.
This was arranged from the very beginning.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ao Qing raised his hand and pressed it to his chest. In a short while, he took out a crystal-clear jade disc depicting nine divine dragons.
Nine-Dragon Pattern Jade Bi!
This is a treasure created by the dragon race using special methods.
Ao Qing tossed out the treasure, and instantly countless rays of light rippled out, illuminating the heavens and the earth. Every true dragon on the jade wall seemed to come alive, roaring out and forming a barrier.
This item was specifically designed for this purpose, and Ao Qing had never used it before.
Elsewhere, a woman draped in colorful robes nodded slightly and pointed gently, causing the imperial palace beneath her feet to tremble slightly.
boom!
Countless five-colored halos rippled outwards, joining forces with the Nine Dragon Jade Wall to directly seal off both the inside and outside.
Undoubtedly, this is to prevent a period of great turmoil from occurring, and besides that...
"Those damned humans definitely haven't left yet. We've cornered them here. When the two demon lords have a chance of winning, they can easily kill them!"
Thinking of this, Ao Qing felt a surge of joy.
There are still quite a few powerful humans who have come to the Demon Realm. Once this group perishes, those humans will have no choice but to give up the territory they have fought for and return to the Vast Wilderness Domain.
At that time, their demon race might even be able to directly rebel and invade the heartland of the human race.
With the combined power of the Imperial Palace and the Nine Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant, the void was completely sealed off, and Ao Qing and the other demons immediately showed some joy.
……
In the distance, Jiang Shu, Taiwu Daozun, the sect leader of Dao Yi Sect, and other powerful figures all raised their heads and saw that deep, dark light. Their pupils shrank as they realized that the demon race had already sealed off both the inside and outside.
"The only option now is to force our way through and break the seal."
However, they had already completed the transaction with this demon queen and obtained a large amount of rare resources.
"In that case, we should set off as soon as possible and kill those traitors first."
The diva spoke calmly.
"What you say is very true, senior."
Jiang Shu agreed, his gaze constantly shifting, and the surrounding experts nodded in agreement from time to time.
"However, since that's the case, I suppose it's not just us. Where are the powerful figures under your command now? I think their strength is also extraordinary."
Jiang Shu immediately spoke.
"It is natural."
Xi'e nodded slightly, and then with a thought, a large number of Heavenly Court experts swarmed over.
When they saw these powerful figures from the Heavenly Court, all the human venerables were shocked.
Because they discovered that the number of Heavenly Court experts deployed this time was much greater than before!
There are more than eight Venerables at the late stage of the Chaos Realm alone.
There are quite a few other strong individuals as well.
Leaving aside combat strength, in terms of sheer numbers, they have already surpassed the current human race's Venerable Ones.
"No, it's the aura of these demons..."
Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of doubt.
He could tell that nearly half of the Heavenly Court Demon Lords present were not in good condition, as if they had suffered some kind of injury, their expressions were listless and their breaths were weak.
"Could it be that you want these remnants of the army to go and die with me?!"
Taiwu Daozun spoke with a cold laugh.
Currently, many of these Heavenly Court Demon Lords are in very poor condition.
"Could it be that they were also caught in the fight just now? They don't seem to be in very good condition."
Taiwu Daozun immediately spoke.
Hearing this, Xi'e smiled slightly and softly said:
"There's no need to test you any further. In fact, telling you isn't impossible. Guess what methods we used to preserve my husband's soul across time to arrive at this moment." (End of Chapter)
