Chapter 251: War
Demon Domain.
Boundless wasteland.
Qing Su was shocked. She felt the tragic grandeur of the distant Mingzhou border. Li Changsheng's heroic spirit seemed to pass by her at this moment, carrying an unfinished mission and deep sorrow.
The eldest brother of the Ninth Peak, Li Changsheng, died for his country.
Ziyun Zhenren stood quietly on the battlefield. His face was as calm as an ancient well, but his eyes reflected the blazing flames of war.
He knew that Li Changsheng's choice was to buy more time for the human race.
Ziyun Zhenren slowly turned around and faced the strong men of the demon domain. He exuded a resolute aura.
He opened his mouth and spit out two words:
"Continue."
...
The strongest men of the four major immortal sects gathered here, and each of them was the Dinghai Shenzhen of their respective sects.
Ziyun Zhenren, as the leader among them, fought alone against the three strongest men headed by the demon ancestor, and the other sect masters fought two each.
There was also the Dynasty Breakthrough General Qi Kuangcai, who also held back two strongest men.
Qing Su was also facing a powerful demon. Although she was under great pressure, her sword danced like stars, and the sword light was intertwined with the offensive of the demon. Every collision caused layers of air waves.
In the demon wasteland, the flames of war continued.
Sword light, magic, and demon power intertwined in the wasteland to form a series of shocking pictures, which changed the color of the sky and earth, and moved the wind and clouds.
The battle had lasted for several days. Both sides were top-notch warriors. How could it be so easy to tell the winner?
"Ziyun Zhenren, today is the day for you and me to end it!" The voice of the demon ancestor was like thunder, shaking the entire battlefield.
Ziyun Zhenren said nothing, but slowly drew out the long sword at his waist. The sword body was faintly purple, which contrasted with the dark clouds in the sky.
He knew that today's battle might be the last battle of his life.
At present, the battle situation was deadlocked.
If he could kill one first, and then defeat the other side with one against two, he could free himself to support others, and thus win.
On the contrary, if he loses, the whole battle will fall into an irreversible disadvantage.
The figure of the demon ancestor flashed, and turned into a black shadow, carrying the power of destroying the world, and attacked Ziyun Zhenren. Ziyun Zhenren did not move, and waved his long sword lightly. Sword Qi flowed out like water, colliding with the attack of the demon ancestor, making a deafening roar.
The battle intensified, and Ziyun Zhenren's swordsmanship became more and more mysterious. Each sword contained the truth of heaven and earth, and each sword seemed to be able to cut the void.
However, the power of the demon ancestor was equally strong, and every confrontation made Ziyun Zhenren feel more and more pressured.
"Ziyun, although your swordsmanship is wonderful, you still can't escape defeat today!" The demon ancestor laughed wildly, and its attack became more and more fierce, and every attack was with a crushing momentum.
Ziyun Zhenren's face did not change, and his sword force suddenly changed, turning into sword shadows all over the sky, dissolving the offensive of the demon ancestor one by one.
However, the attack of the demon ancestor was like a continuous tide, and Ziyun Zhenren gradually felt powerless.
At this moment, Ziyun Zhenren took a deep breath, and a dazzling purple light suddenly burst out from his body, and the whole person seemed to be integrated with the sword. With a swing of the long sword, a huge sword light cut through the sky and pointed directly at the demon ancestor.
The demon ancestor's face changed. It could feel the terrifying power contained in this sword. It did not dare to take it hard and retreated rapidly. However, the sword light followed closely behind.
"Boom!" The sword light hit the demon ancestor, knocked it out, and hit it heavily on the ground in the distance, and the whole demon domain was shaken.
Ziyun Zhenren stood in the battlefield, with his long sword pointing to the sky. His figure seemed extremely tall at this moment.
However, there was no joy on his face, because he knew that this battle was far from over.
Although Ziyun Zhenren was strong, he seemed to be getting more and more exhausted in the face of the joint efforts of the three strongest demons.
Although his sword light was still bright, every swing of the sword seemed to consume his huge strength.
But he couldn't lose, and couldn't afford to lose!
After a fierce battle, Ziyun Zhenren seized a fleeting opportunity, and his long sword suddenly burst out with unprecedented light, and the sword energy was like a long rainbow piercing the sun, pointing directly at the vital point of one of the strongest demons.
"Break!" Ziyun Zhenren shouted, and the long sword stabbed out fiercely, and the sword light penetrated the defense of the strongest demon, severely injuring him.
This sword condensed Ziyun Zhenren's lifelong cultivation.
Seeing this, the demon ancestor flashed a trace of shock in his eyes. It didn't expect that Ziyun Zhenren could still exert such a powerful force in this situation.
Ziyun Zhenren's sword not only severely injured a strong demon, but also brought a turning point to the entire battle situation. The balance may be tilted.
Ziyun Zhenren did not stop. He quickly adjusted his state and swept his eyes across the battlefield. He saw Qingsu and the ancestors of the other four immortal gates were fighting their best in their respective battles.
"Everyone, hold on!" The voice of Ziyun Zhenren echoed over the battlefield, bringing strength and hope to everyone.
"I will kill the demon ancestor today!"
The battle continued, and the confrontation between the ancestors of the five major immortal sects and the strongest demons became more and more intense.
...
The ninth peak of Ziyun Sect was shrouded in clouds and mist.
In the training room on the top of the peak, Jiang Qing was immersed in training, and his body was shrouded in a faint halo, which was an obvious sign of the cultivation of the God Transformation Stage.
The God Transformation Stage means that the cultivator has transcended the mortal body and begun to touch the true path of divine power.
"Shedding the mortal body, transforming into a god..."
Jiang Qing silently recited the key to training in his heart, feeling the flow and change of the power in his body.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a palpitation, as if a string suddenly tightened in his heart, and then loosened.
This palpitation made Jiang Qing feel uneasy, as if he had lost something important.
His mood could no longer be calm, and the process of cultivation was forced to be interrupted. He slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of confusion and anxiety flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Qing stood up and walked out of the practice room.
The mountain breeze blew on his face, bringing a hint of coolness. He took a few deep breaths of fresh air and tried to calm his mind.
"It's getting late, it's time to go to the demon domain." He said in his heart.
Once the affairs of the demon domain are dealt with, the human race can devote themselves to the battle against the invasion of the demon god.
However, when thinking of the invasion of the demon god, Jiang Qing felt powerless.
He had heard that there was a wider world outside the southern border, and the six creatures in the six reincarnations coexisted in that world.
The human race sealed a domain because of the defeat in the battle, but in fact the forces outside far exceeded the human race.
"Which way of being is the demon god from outside the domain?" Jiang Qing thought to himself, and recalled the mysterious letter he had received before. The method of gathering luck mentioned in the letter made him realize something.
He was in the state of transformation, and he could mobilize the power of heaven and earth, and he had a deeper understanding of the importance of luck.
Luck means being favored by heaven, which allows cultivators to mobilize more power of heaven and earth with less power.
"If you can get the recognition of heaven and earth, there will be no bottleneck in cultivation." Jiang Qing knew in his heart that the reason why he could successfully enter the state of transformation was because he got a certain degree of recognition from heaven and earth.
However, he was also thinking about a question: "If you have luck, can mobilize the power of heaven and earth, and are recognized by heaven, then you are still an ordinary person? Or have you become a part of heaven?"
At this time, old man Zhu walked over slowly.
Seeing this, Jiang Qing hurried forward, and the two chatted about family matters.
During the conversation, Jiang Qing mentioned his plan to go to the demon domain and asked old man Zhu to wait for him to come back in Ziyun Sect.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, he had guessed in his heart that Grandpa Zhu seemed to be injured in the invasion of the demon god.
Although Old Man Zhu was worried, he couldn't resist Jiang Qing in the end and agreed to stay on the surface. Jiang Qing knew in his heart that Old Man Zhu's injuries were not light and he needed to recuperate in the sect.
The next day.
The disciples of Ziyun Sect gathered at the foot of the ninth peak, ready to set off to the demon domain in a mighty manner.
Jiang Qing stood at the front of the team.
"Let's go!" With Jiang Qing's order, the disciples of Ziyun Sect embarked on the journey to the demon domain. For the future of the human race, they did not hesitate.
...
Li Changsheng carried the heroic spirit of the Taoist ancestor and threw himself into the demon cloud that covered the sky.
The collision of spiritual power and demonic energy caused a thunderous roar, and the clear light and darkness intertwined, and the sky and the earth changed color.
As soon as the ancestor's ghost appeared, it exuded an ancient and powerful aura. The ancestor's phantom wrapped Li Changsheng in it, forming a protective circle.
Li Changsheng formed seals with his hands and chanted something. A huge sword with incantations was woven out.
The demon god roared, and its body was looming in the black cloud. Countless tentacles stretched out from the clouds, trying to devour Li Changsheng and the ghost of the ancestor.
But the heroic soul of the ancestor was not in a hurry. Their figures shuttled between the tentacles like ghosts, leaving a trail of afterimages every time they shuttled.
The battle became more and more intense. Li Changsheng drove the Qiankun Wuji Sword, and the sword energy was crisscrossed, cutting off the tentacles of the demon god one by one.
"Huh!"
The demon god roared.
It began to mobilize the surrounding demon energy, forming a huge black vortex, trying to absorb all the power of the demon tide.
Seeing this, Li Changsheng knew that he could not let the demon god continue to strengthen. He shouted and threw the Qiankun Wuji Sword into the air.
The Qiankun Wuji Sword rotated in the air, emitting thousands of rays of light, forming a huge light shield, firmly blocking the black vortex of the demon god.
The ghosts of the ancestors also took the opportunity to launch the final attack. They turned into streams of light and rushed into the black vortex, engaging in the most intense close combat with the demon.
In the light shield, the battle between the demon and the ghost of the ancestors reached a fever pitch.
Every collision caused a deafening roar, and every confrontation burst out dazzling sparks. Li Changsheng continued to stimulate the power of Taoism on the periphery to maintain the stability of the light shield, while also looking for the weakness of the demon.
Finally, after a fierce collision, the body of the demon stagnated a little.
Li Changsheng seized the opportunity, gathered all his strength at one point, and delivered a fatal blow to the vital point of the demon.
The Qiankun Wuji Sword turned into a stream of light, piercing the body of the demon, and at the same time aroused the power of the heroic soul of the ancestors, exerting the strongest blow of his life.
The demon screamed miserably, and its body began to disintegrate, turning into countless black fragments and falling to the ground.
At the moment of repelling the demon god, their figures gradually dissipated in the light until they completely disappeared from the world.
Although the demon god was repelled, the black water it turned into still spread across the earth, killing all living beings wherever it went.
All living beings contaminated by the black water could not escape the fate of becoming demons.
On the earth, the demon army composed of demonized creatures was like ants leaving their nests, mighty and unstoppable.
The national teacher stared at all this, his face solemn: "The demon god is not really dead, these black waters are its life essence. At the speed it is swallowing now, it will only take three to five days to give birth to a body again."
Old Man Zhu appeared behind the national teacher at some point. He looked at the tragic scene in front of him and said in a deep voice:
"Maybe you are right."
The national teacher smiled bitterly: "But the luck of the human race is rapidly dissipating. If it continues like this, even if Jiang Qing has the ability, he will not be able to take the last step."
"Now we can only do our best and listen to fate." There was a hint of firmness in Old Man Zhu's voice.
The national teacher asked back: "What do you mean by listening to fate?"
Old Man Zhu looked at the surging demon tide with a sharp gaze, and said slowly: "I don't know, but I know how to do my best."
After that, he walked towards the demon tide alone, and his figure seemed particularly lonely but firm among the black water and the monsters.
The national teacher looked at Old Man Zhu's back, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
Now, what the human race needs is not only strength, but also courage and sacrifice. Old Man Zhu's actions are just like this, sacrificing his life for justice.
In this land shrouded in darkness, although the pace of the old man Zhu was slow, he was extremely firm.
He believed that as long as there were still people willing to stand up, there was still hope for the human race.
…
The three purple cloud flying boats exuded a faint purple glow under the morning light, like a giant dragon flying through the clouds, ready to go.
The teleportation array under the flying boat emitted a dazzling light, and the power of space jump began to gather.
With a slight vibration, the space around the flying boat began to distort, and then they disappeared on the spot, and quickly moved towards the border of the demon domain through the space transmission network carefully arranged by the human race.
Because the strategy of attacking the demon race had been set long ago, these teleportation arrays were built all the way to the border of the demon domain under the powerful construction ability of the human race's "machine".
Every jump was accompanied by a drastic change in the scene in front of him. After another jump, the world in front of him had become desolate and cruel.
Demon domain.
The air was filled with the smoke of battle and the aftermath of spells.
"We're here." He raised his hand to signal, and the three purple cloud flying boats slowly descended and finally landed steadily on this barren land.
Looking around, the surroundings were in a mess, the earth was torn apart, and space cracks were everywhere. These cracks emitted unstable fluctuations, as if telling the fierce battle that happened not long ago.
A trace of solemnity flashed in Jiang Qing's eyes, but they were not fighting alone.
Not far away, the flying boats of the other three immortal sects also landed one after another. These flying boats also carried the elite disciples of their respective sects.
The flying boats of the four major immortal sects, without any prior agreement, were close together, because there were already a large number of demons rushing in front...
