Chapter 748
Melee
Although the various races in the Demon Realm are now divided and lack a central leader, even the Dragon and Phoenix races are unable to completely control the other races.
This was even during a major war between humans and demons.
If not.
Even the Dragon and Phoenix clans couldn't lead so many demon lords to attack together.
Even so, they couldn't get the few demon lords to be so fearless in the face of death.
After all, any demon lord has great fortune and opportunities to reach this point, so who would willingly choose to die like this?
These Heavenly Demon Lords, however, chose without hesitation.
One after another, early-stage Heavenly Demon Lords crashed into it, choosing to self-destruct in an attempt to break through this barrier.
At this moment, the demon lords of the Dragon and Phoenix clans were even hesitant to make a move, because even if they rushed forward, they would not be able to stop these demon lords from self-destructing.
On the contrary, it will cause you serious injury.
Injury on such a battlefield is no different from death.
Just as both sides were fighting desperately, Jiang Shu and Jin Jiao's third battle began.
"Golden Horn, today you will die by my hand. So what if you have the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon!"
The two sides clashed once again, fists and claws against halberds.
This is a clash between absolute power and absolute power.
At this moment, both sides are tacitly using only the Dao of Power.
Because their struggle was not a matter of personal grudges, but a struggle between the great principles, at least that's how it appears to outsiders.
Compared to the magnificent or bizarre magical clashes around them, the battle between the man and the dragon was much simpler and more grand.
The fists, claws, and halberd delivered a brutal, direct attack, causing the surrounding void to collapse with each step.
Their battlefield was extremely conspicuous, even within this entire battlefield, and the other powerful figures dared not offend them in the slightest.
Because if it's not a powerful being in the late stage of the Chaos Realm, any other powerful being who enters will only have two outcomes—being torn apart by the aftershocks of the battle between the two sides.
Wherever it passed, everything turned to dust.
The sea of energy unleashed by the two covered the surroundings, and every collision caused mountains to collapse and the earth to split, as if gods were wrestling with each other.
Those powerful figures in the late stage of the Chaos Realm also turned their heads, some of them shocked by the terrifying power unleashed between the two sides.
"We must cut off this golden horn, or it will surely become a great scourge to our human race!"
"Golden Horn has inherited the legacy of the Bashe Demon Lord and is also possessed by the remnant soul of the Bashe Demon Lord. In the future, he may be able to prove himself as a Demon Lord."
"The Demon Lord is not actually scary. What is scary is the ancestral dragon bloodline of Golden Horn. Perhaps he has a certain way to avoid the Heavenly Dao's perception. Although Jiang Taixuan's cultivation has improved, the Chaotic Void Realm and the Returning Void Realm are not easy realms to cross."
"Not to mention, with Jiang Taixuan's talent, he might remain at the Dao Venerable realm for a long time, just to find the path to immortality."
"Becoming an immortal is extremely difficult. Now it seems that the grand scheme laid out by the fallen demon lord is beyond our ability to resist, let alone become an immortal."
The Dao Venerables among the human race communicated with each other through divine sense, but their expressions were not overly anxious. After all, Jiang Shu's reputation was built up through countless battles.
Meanwhile, the demon race was also cheering for Golden Horn.
These demon lords had all witnessed the battle between Golden Horn and Jiang Shu.
It is clear that Golden Horn has grown.
In the past, he was inferior to Jiang Shu in many ways, but today, he has had several opportunities to gain the upper hand.
"As expected of the Crown Prince of the Dragon Clan, if the Golden Horned Young Lord can attain the Dao of the Demon Lord, he can directly annihilate Jiang Shu. No matter how invincible Jiang Shu's talent is, he will not be able to cross a major realm."
"It's only because our Demon Lord is being restrained that Jiang Shu could have perished with just a thought. We absolutely cannot allow Jiang Shu to continue growing stronger; his cultivation speed is terrifying. It feels like a Dao Lord has been reborn."
"Today, we must ensure that Jiang Shu, no, all the powerful members of the human race, are buried here."
"Let us launch a counterattack on the vast and desolate land, and let our demon race rule over the human race."
……
On the battlefield, people's hearts are divided.
Both the demon race and the human race had a strong desire for Jiang Shu and Jin Jiao, one human and one dragon, to both be severely injured and die here.
After all, this is how they maximize their profits.
Meanwhile, atop the demon emperor's palace, a figure draped in colorful robes leisurely observed this scene.
This is the Five Virtues Phoenix that just intervened to reverse the fortunes of the situation.
At this moment, the Demon Lord Fengyuan did not make a move on the battlefield, but instead respectfully served beside the figure in the five-colored rainbow dress.
"Young Master, what should our Phoenix Clan do next?"
"It doesn't matter."
The Five Virtues Phoenix shook its head slightly and spoke with a smile:
"There's a saying among humans: 'A son of a wealthy family would not sit under a dangerous roof.' Why should I do that? The way of Heaven is extraordinary."
"Not to mention, the human race's foundation should not be underestimated."
"If I were to make a move, there would surely be Dao Lords among the human race who would come to my aid."
"Let them fight it out. Look, that Time Blade is about to be swung down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yuan Demon Lord turned his gaze and saw that the demon lord who was holding the knife had finally calmed down the curse on his body and was weakly swinging the Time Blade again.
hum!
The void trembled, and the phantom of the River of Time reappeared.
At this moment, the expressions of the powerful figures in the Zhou Tian Star Array changed drastically.
The blade of time cuts through the years and lifespan.
Perhaps for the strongest people of our time, it's nothing more than losing a few decades or even a hundred years.
However, for these powerful beings who have been slumbering since the fall of the ancient Heavenly Court, this was undoubtedly the most fatal and crucial blow!
As this blade was swung, those demon lords who had been held back and hadn't yet had time to self-destruct trembled, and were then affected by the blade's light.
Their already aged bodies decayed again, and many died of old age on the spot, turning into ashes and crumbling into nothingness.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
As the number of array eyes decreased, the demon lords on the other side aged instantly, and cracks appeared one after another in the Zhou Tian Star Array.
This immediately made the late-stage Mixed Core cultivators on the Heavenly Court's side seethe with rage, wishing they could just annihilate the demon lord wielding the sword.
However, without their intervention, the Demon Lord wielding the sword trembled all over, his body rapidly aged, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, dying of old age on the spot.
For both sides, one side only lost a Venerable's technique, while the other side lost nearly thirty or forty early-stage Chaos Venerables.
Many demon lords at the mid-stage of the Chaos Realm were also on the verge of death and could only struggle with difficulty.
In an instant, the strength of the Heavenly Court Demon Lord's side plummeted to its lowest point.
"I knew it was just that this method had flaws."
The sect leader of Dao Yi Sect cursed under his breath, and had no choice but to step forward and stop them.
Whether they were powerful figures from the eight major sects or demon lords from the Heavenly Court, they were all in the same boat at this moment.
As the two sides continued their fierce battle, a gaze suddenly descended from the depths of the distant void. That gaze was incredibly profound, causing both sides on the battlefield to tremble.
Dead!
An unprecedented deathly silence suddenly enveloped the entire battlefield!
All the demon lords and Dao lords stopped in their tracks, not daring to make a move.
The next instant, a bell suddenly rang out.
when!
The melodious chimes echoed, and the river of time flowed once more.
However, compared to the River of Time summoned by the demon lord wielding the sword, this River of Time seemed almost tangible, as if it were real.
"This……"
Ao Qing and the other powerful figures narrowed their eyes and retreated in panic.
"Is the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor about to make a move!?"
"Isn't he fighting with the ancestors?"
"Impossible. He couldn't have gained the upper hand and ended the battle so quickly."
"Wait, could it be that he wants to reverse time?"
Many powerful figures were startled and retreated hastily.
He wondered if the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor was going to directly summon the Demon Lord who had just died of old age back from the River of Time.
No one understands the true power of the Dao Master of the Way of Time, and no one dares to speculate on it.
But the next moment, something unexpected happened. Xi'e, who had been standing on the battlefield without making any move, suddenly raised her hand and made a gesture toward the River of Time.
The next moment, a bright moon fell from the river of time and then merged into the body of the Heavenly Empress.
In an instant, a magnificent and powerful aura suddenly spread out, and even the surrounding void seemed to freeze, with an irresistible chill emanating from it.
"This……"
The next moment, Xi'e reappeared, but this time she had a physical body, as if she had come back to life!
The two sides on the battlefield reacted differently to this scene, but the Heavenly Court was undoubtedly overjoyed.
The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor made a move, summoning the Heavenly Empress's physical body from the past.
"Could it be the Demon Lord!?"
Jiang Shu's pupils contracted, and he immediately distanced himself from Jin Jiao.
The Golden Horned Triangle also retreated.
But the next moment, a clear, cold voice rang out throughout the entire battlefield.
"There's no need to be afraid. It can't be the power of a Demon Lord. Otherwise, how could a mere remnant soul withstand the assimilation of the Heavenly Dao? This Empress is only at the peak of the Demon Venerable realm. Everyone, just be careful."
From the distant imperial palace, the Five Virtues Phoenix spoke.
Upon hearing these words, countless powerful figures on the battlefield breathed a slight sigh of relief.
They could also sense Xi'e's current aura; she was indeed only at the peak of the Demon Lord level, not yet at the Dao Lord level.
In that case, it simply means that the battle situation has changed.
Just as they were pondering, a burst of light suddenly fell from the river of time, a blazing sun.
It was yet another golden crow!
The former Lord of the Great Dao of Fire—Di Yang!
Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor, Heavenly Empress Xi'e, Emperor Yang.
The Heavenly Court was originally ruled by these three demon lords. When the three of them worked together, they were even able to suppress the other demon lords in the entire demon realm.
After all, the other demon lords are not like those in the Heavenly Court, who can trust and cooperate with each other.
Once you reach this level, any demon lord who makes a move will have to be extremely careful to avoid suffering losses.
After all, if the Demon Lord doesn't make a move, it's either a huge gain or a shortened lifespan.
But without a doubt, the greatest benefit now lies in vying for the immortal embryo!
After all, for the Dao Lord, nothing is more tempting than being able to live a second life.
As the long river of time flowed onward, Empress Xi'e and Emperor Yang emerged from it, though they did not truly possess the strength of a Demon Lord.
The price required to summon a being from the very end of the Great Dao is far beyond what the current Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor can afford.
Even so, Xi'e and Di Yang, who were summoned, definitely possessed the strength of the peak of the Chaos Realm.
The two beings stepped out from the river of time, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.
"This……"
Upon seeing this scene, Ao Qing felt a sudden sense of foreboding.
He acted decisively and immediately issued the order:
"All those who have gained some understanding of the Great Dao of Time, follow me to conquer the River of Time!"
His idea is simple.
Without a doubt, since that demon lord was able to summon Xi'e and Di Yang from the River of Time, who knows if he could summon other top experts from the Heavenly Court of the demon race?
For the Demon Lord, summoning a few Venerable-level experts is not a big problem.
The other demon lords immediately realized what was happening and stared intently at the River of Time in the sky.
"I'll wait!"
Ao Qing took the lead, letting out a long roar. A piece of brilliant golden dragon scale on his body shot out and rushed directly towards the River of Time, with the power of time appearing around him.
Only by comprehending the Way of Time can one be qualified to advance to the position of Dao Lord.
Undoubtedly, although Ao Qing dared not step into that realm, he did make some progress in the Way of Time!
Seeing this, Xi'e, who had been summoned, glanced at him and then spoke:
"Just you?"
She stretched out a jade-like hand and gently patted it downwards. Suddenly, a bright moon plummeted downwards.
The moonlight filled the sky, and in an instant, it arrived directly in front of Ao Qing.
boom!
A terrifyingly loud sound emanated as the Dao of Time and lightning intertwined, creating a sound like muffled thunder. Ao Qie's massive body was forcefully pressed down.
"rise!"
Ao Qing roared and used his claws to hold up the bright moon, preventing himself from being knocked down.
At the same time, the other powerful demons also filed out and headed directly towards the River of Time.
"Destroy it!"
Among the demons, the old gluttonous beast, at the late-stage Chaos Realm, galloped wildly, gazing at the River of Time, its maw wide open. A terrifying Devouring Dao manifested from its body.
Although it didn't reach its peak, it was still the strongest state.
It seemed as if it could devour all the great paths.
"Swallow the sky and the earth!"
A layer of pitch-black light spread out, instantly unleashing the Devouring Dao, even forcibly swallowing the moonlight emanating from Xi'e.
At that very moment, Emperor Yang, who had emerged from the River of Time, stretched out his palm, and countless True Solar Flames rained down from the sky, blending with the radiance of the bright moon to unleash an even more terrifying power! (End of Chapter)
