Free Web NovelChapter 1768: Chapter 1635: Sloppy Elder Joins the Battle
No one expected that the elderly and blood-weakened Elder Lin would actually fight to the death and kill a newly-promoted Quasi-Emperor strong person of the Demon Clan in the battle, which was definitely a fatal blow to the Demon Clan’s momentum.
The members of the Demon Clan were all in disbelief, and many of the war advocates stood silently, their eyes filled with deep reluctance when looking at the Human Race’s side.
Although it was clear that Elder Lin probably would not be able to continue fighting after this battle, and there was a high possibility that he would die shortly, it was enough to prove that the Human Race was not to be taken lightly!
The politically shrewd members of the Demon Clan were also alarmed, secretly relieved that they had not recklessly launched a war, otherwise, with the current strength of the Demon Clan, who would laugh last remained uncertain.
The entire Demon Clan was shaking, after all, it was a newly-promoted Quasi-Emperor, in times when Great Emperors do not emerge, such a powerful presence would sweep across a domain, and now had died like this, leaving no remains, causing them serious alarm.
The Human Race cannot be insulted!
This is not a mere empty statement but was earned by the Human Race’s strength.
How many years does it take the entire Demon Clan to produce a strong person at the Quasi-Emperor realm?
With the first battle, a member had already fallen, greatly affecting their morale, many Demon Clan strong people secretly feared, and their spirits dropped drastically.
The Quasi-Demon Emperor leading the Demon Clan furrowed his brows into a stern expression, deeply knowing that Chang Hao’s death caused an irreparable blow to the entire Demon Clan’s morale.
Even Quasi-Emperors were fought to the death, indicating that the Human Race is determined to get justice, if the morale cannot be rallied, even if the Demon Clan emerges, it will be firmly suppressed by the Human Race, which is not the outcome he wants to see.
"What to do? Launch a full-scale war immediately or decide according to the previous agreement by competition?"
Regarding this issue, the Demon Clan’s upper echelon held an emergency consultation, whether war advocates or politically shrewd ones, unanimously agreed that the Human Race possessed terrifying strength, if a full-scale war was recklessly launched, victory was one thing, but if defeated, the Demon Clan might really cease to exist.
Moreover, it was said that this era was determined through the careful calculations of many Great Emperors, in this era, there will definitely be an opportunity to open the Immortal Path.
Cultivators stay away from the hustle and bustle of the worldly dust, heart pure, willing to endure loneliness, painstakingly cultivating, for what purpose?
None other than seeking to prove Dao and become immortal!
The road to proving Dao is filled with many bones, not one ordinary cultivators can take, but the Immortal Path is different, as long as one’s cultivation reaches a certain realm, one can step onto the Immortal Path, ascend to the Immortal Realm, seeking everlasting life.
If due to past grievances with the Human Race recklessly launching a full-scale war, the Human Race would certainly suffer a major loss of Primordial Qi, but the Demon Clan would also definitely suffer significantly.
Given the current situation, the Human Race certainly still has some strong individuals at the Quasi-Emperor level who have not yet emerged, who knows what level of realm they have reached.
Once the Human Race faces a crisis of extinction, it is unlikely that these individuals will not emerge, by then the Demon Clan will be truly in danger.
After the urgent consultation, the Demon Clan’s upper echelon quickly reached a consensus, not to recklessly launch a war, not only can’t the Human Race withstand it, but the Demon Clan also can’t withstand it.
After the consultation, the Quasi-Demon Emperor leading the Demon Clan, Chi Lin, flew high into the sky and said loudly towards War City: "Brother Lin, don’t be angry, I am also surprised about the matter of Xuanwu State, here I represent the Demon Clan to apologize to you all."
Saying so, Chi Lin slightly bowed, as a gesture of apology, then continued: "Our Demon Clan is trustworthy, a word once spoken is unchangeable, let’s still follow our previous agreement and conduct a competition among the older, middle, and younger generations."
If our Demon Clan wins, any place in the Five Domains must allow us to stay and reside, and the Human Race should not show hostility, but if we lose, then you can designate our residence area after we emerge, and we will live peacefully, together compete for the opportunity to prove Dao, how about it?"
"Indeed it should be so, you choose the candidates for the competition, my Human Race will accompany to the end!"
Although Elder Lin was covered in blood, he still had unparalleled intimidation power, with an imposing demeanor that refused to fade.
Chi Lin nodded and said: "The recent battle, Brother Lin’s might has not diminished, truly admirable, let’s consider that as the first competition of the older generation, what does Brother Lin think?"
Elder Lin nodded, secretly letting out a breath, it seemed his strategy succeeded as his thunderous means to kill a Quasi-Emperor realm strong person of the Demon Clan had completely intimidated them.
No one knew what exactly happened during the recent battle, only he himself knew how dangerous it was, if not careful, it would be he who died just now.
Only after the Azure Gold Furnace’s divine power was exhausted did he barely withstand the Death Light Mirror, giving him the opportunity to fight to the death against Chang Hao, otherwise, the consequences would have been hard to predict.
According to the previous agreement, the older generation strong people will conduct three competitions, winning two out of three will be considered victory, the middle generation will focus on the Saint Lord level strong people, also conducting three competitions, with rules similar to the older generation’s.
Finally, it will be the competition of the younger generation, divided into ten matches, both sides can send ten contestants for the competition.
The rules are simple, as long as they win, they can continue to face the next opponent who steps onto the stage, losers withdraw, providing maximum space for both sides to show strength.
Soon, a strong person of Quasi-Emperor Second Layer Heaven from the Demon Clan appeared, dressed in cyan clothing, looking no different from the Human Race, with no Demon Clan traits.
This is an old demon of the Demon Clan who achieved the Quasi-Emperor realm a long time ago, named Wu Tian, his true form is a Golden Centipede, although not an Imperial Family, he is also a leader among the Imperial Family.
"I am Emperor Wu Tian, who dares to stand against me in battle?"
The Quasi-Emperor from the Demon Clan, Wu Tian, wielded an aura that pierced the skies, moving with the stride of a dragon and the step of a tiger, his entire being radiating a powerful Quasi-Emperor presence, compelling reverence.
This is the oppression of the Quasi-Emperor realm; anyone who hasn’t reached this level is affected.
Wu Tian’s shout traveled through the River of Elements, resonating like heavenly thunder in everyone’s ears; many Human cultivators with lesser cultivation were shocked to the point their ears bled and they fainted on the spot.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes turned to Ling Yunzhi of the Ling Family Ancestor, standing atop the city wall. Without a doubt, as the Emperor’s son, he was the most suitable contestant.
The Human Race had already won one battle. Winning another would make a third unnecessary; two consecutive victories meant even if the humans lost the final match, victory was assured.
However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Ling Yunzhi showed no intention of entering the fight, standing indifferently atop the city wall, completely ignoring the crowd’s expectant gazes.
At this moment, all Humans were enraged. This match concerned the fate and future of the Human Race, and even sects and Holy Lands with longstanding enmities set aside their differences and united against the Demon Clan. Yet Ling Yunzhi remained unmoved—how cold-hearted must one be to act in such a way?
Seeing this, Wu Tian sneered and said, "What? Does the Human Race not have a single person who dares to accept the challenge?"
"If the Human Race has but this little strength, what right do they have to coexist with our Demon Clan in this world? You’re fit only to provide us with blood food!"
"If you don’t dare accept the challenge, just admit defeat outright. We’ll be merciful and won’t eradicate you entirely."
"Heaven has the virtue of good life—if you humans surrender and hand over dominion of this world, we’ll consider giving you a domain in which to thrive."
"That’s right, just like our Demon Clan; forso many years, we’ve been confined to the Holy Land, yet we’ve worked tirelessly and have ultimately surpassed you."
For a time, some pro-war factions of the Demon Clan began stirring again, though even as they clamored loudly, none dared outright step forward, merely using secret technique to alter their voice and location, making it impossible to pinpoint their position.
"I shall fight you!"
Seeing Ling Yunzhi unwilling to fight, the Sloppy Elder from Treasure Pavilion stepped forward. Though he was at the Quasi-Emperor realm, he was only at the Quasi-Emperor Second Level, not on the same tier as Wu Tian; this battle boded ill.
Yet—
For the destiny and future of the Human Race, he resolutely chose to accept the challenge, even if it meant dying in battle; he could not let the Demon Clan mock the Human Race for lacking warriors willing to fight—that was his bottom line.
The Heavenly Weapon issued a light hum, instantly saturating the area with killing intent, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet as if suddenly transitioning from blazing summer to harsh winter.
This cold penetrated to the soul; the Heavenly Weapon, as the Emperor’s Weapon of the Eternal Slaughter Emperor, had accompanied him through conquest of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, with its unique killing intent molded through countless slain strong people.
"Swish!"
The Sloppy Elder, tattered clothes fluttering, tore through space, traversing the void to appear on the Outer Battlefield.
This heaven-defying technique left many Human cultivators dumbstruck; to achieve this with no Spiritual Treasure or Transmission Array Platform, to tear through the void with one’s body and traverse the cosmos, requires immense cultivation!
However, the older generation of strong people were unsurprised, considering the Sloppy Elder’s action commonplace; those at the Quasi-Emperor realm certainly should be able to traverse the cosmos bodily, anything less would be impossible.
Then, people observed the Demon Clan’s Quasi-Emperor strong person Wu Tian also appear on the Outer Battlefield, his sharp killing intent becoming tangible and obliterating a passing meteorite, temple-sized, into dust.
Without a move, merely the overflow of killing intent possessed terrifying power; an average cultivator would struggle to withstand even a glimpse.
Quasi-Emperor, marked by the Emperor title, has transcended human limits; strictly speaking, a strong person at the Quasi-Emperor realm no longer aligns with human classification.
The peak of Venerable Realm is the utmost humanity can achieve, surpassing this pinnacle transcends human boundaries, becoming a different form of life.
A single strand of a Quasi-Emperor strong person’s hair can crush a Divine Mountain; an intense gaze can kill a Supreme Holy Master.
Previously, the Sloppy Elder sealed his Quasi-Emperor strength, wandering and rescuing Ye Fan with merely Saint Lord strength; otherwise, a single gaze could have annihilated the Ancestor of the Lou Family!
"Step forward and meet your death!"
Wu Tian roared, a rustic Pagoda appearing in his hand, with seven layers, each emanating the pressure of a Great Emperor.
Indisputably, this rustic Pagoda was also an Emperor Weapon!
