35: The demon god's decree, the Heavenly Dao descends, and death is inevitable!
You unleashed your Divine Ability, summoning the Sword Realm.
With overwhelming force, you annihilated all the Void Black Holes within the concentrated human territory!
Even if these Void Black Holes, which connect two realms, were to slowly recover in some inconceivable way, it was essential to ensure the safety of the existing territory and resolve the worries of the front lines!
You arranged for the Heavenly Artisans to analyze the Void Black Holes, striving for a permanent solution.
You instructed the Alchemy Grandmasters to collect the demon corpses, aiming to refine them into Martial Dao Grand Pills to enhance your side's combat strength.
You also had the Heavenly Palace repurpose demon bones and similar waste into weapons.
You cleaved the sky with a single sword, and the Sword Realm descended, its might pressing down on the heartland of the human territory. The supreme Sword Realm remained standing in the human world, requiring you to expend a considerable amount of energy to maintain it.
However, it was still within an acceptable range!
You secretly found Li Daoyi, instructing him to prepare for a certain matter.
You launched a full-scale attack, dispatching all Divine Ability and Heavenly Human experts to the areas outside the human territory to slay the demons and destroy the Void Black Holes.
You ordered the Heavenly Artisan army to construct world-fortresses, preparing to resist the demons!
The power of the demon sacrifices was too fast!
In just a few days, the Demon Emperor was already able to cross the Void Black Holes; your time was running out.
Of course, while you were unaware of the Demon Ancestor Realm, the Demon Ancestor Realm was also unaware of the Xuanwu Realm.
You formulated a strategy to intercept and kill the Demon Emperors: groups of five Divine Ability Realm experts would sweep through the Void Black Holes, killing any Demon Emperor they encountered on sight, and reporting immediately if they were outmatched!
You also had them use their proficient or less proficient Divine Abilities to sever the sacrificial pull of the Void Black Holes!
Fight to sustain the fight, and strengthen our human Martial Dao with the flesh and blood of demons!
After a round of encouragement, everyone's morale was greatly boosted, and they began to engage in a world war, launching an active offensive!
Alas, the number of people was still too small compared to the enemy!
It did not effectively stop the sacrifices.
There were invasions by Great Demons of the Demon Emperor mirror level.
However, none were as formidable as the initial Heavenly Roc Demon Emperor.
The battle lasted for a month!
Over a hundred Demon Emperor Realm experts had arrived from the Demon Ancestor Realm through sacrifice, and you personally struck down many of them!
This month also left the Heavenly Humans and Divine Ability users with grave expressions, increased mental pressure, and heavy hearts!
Fortunately, most martial artists were firm of mind and suppressed the faint threads of despair within them!
This was also why you initially did not tell them the truth; even you yourself had lost your composure multiple times, let alone them!
The battle had almost never stopped since it began!
Demon Emperors battled Martial Emperors!
Demon Kings fought Martial Saints!
Demon Generals waged war against the Innate armies!
Emperor against Emperor, General against General, Soldier against Soldier!
The Xuanwu Realm had the home advantage and still had room to maneuver and recover, but the prolonged high-intensity combat also left most martial artists exhausted from constant fighting!
Xiao Tianhao brought a pleasant surprise!
This Son of Destiny, whom you had considered somewhat ordinary, finally proved his worth!
He had created a secret art: Devour Demon, Consume Emperor!
By consuming demons, he refined his own Emperor body! It offered supreme nourishment!
Xiao Tianhao swallowed a Demon Emperor whole, and his combat power actually increased by about ten percent!
You were very pleasantly surprised; this not only gave Martial Emperors the ability to rapidly grow stronger but also helped them recover from the fatigue of prolonged battles!
You cultivated! And succeeded in your cultivation!
You moved out!
You officially joined the war!
You unleashed your Sword Dao Divine Ability: Worry-free!
Slaying Souls, the Worry-free Path on the Bridge of Helplessness!
You shattered the Demon Emperor's Soul with a single sword, then grabbed the Demon Emperor's still-fresh body, refining and devouring it in an instant!
Your Emperor body indeed felt a slight increase in strength!
From then on, you were like a beast unleashed; no Demon Emperor could withstand a single move from you!
First, you severed their Soul, then you devoured their flesh!
In a short time, you slew sixty-six Demon Emperors!
When you couldn't find a Demon Emperor, you even tried to unleash Devour Demon, Consume Emperor, covering several Void Black Holes, instantly refining the demons that hadn't even emerged!
However, because the initial invading demons were of too low a level, your improvement wasn't significant!
But you instructed the Heavenly Palace and the Heavenly Human Martial Saints to do just that, refining demons through every Void Black Hole, enjoying an all-you-can-eat buffet!
Your formerly gloomy mood became exceptionally good, as if the weather itself had cleared!
It truly had to be the Son of Destiny! A perfectly good invasion war, and he developed a secret art that transformed it into a grand tasting feast!
But good times don't last; before the Xuanwu Realm could fully enjoy the feast, the Demon Ancestor Realm seemed to have performed some sacrifices within its own realm!
Several Void Black Holes became enormous, and multiple Demon Emperors emerged from each one!
Each leading Demon Emperor was one of the top hundred on the Demon Emperor Ranking!
No one could stop their sharp advance; in an instant, Xuanwu suffered heavy losses, and countless soldiers were devoured by the enemy!
This was a scene of endless struggle!
Big fish eat small fish! Humans eat demons, and demons also eat humans!
A world-shaking battle erupted instantly!
You struck at forty-nine Demon Emperors with a single sword, intending to buy time for your side!
The Arc of Annihilation was unstoppable!
In an instant, ordinary Demon Emperors fell to the ground, severely wounded!
But the top hundred Demon Emperors were not easy to deal with; they could withstand three of your moves without dying! You simply treated them with seriousness!
While refining the severely wounded Demon Emperors, you also pressured them in battle!
You were confident in being unrivaled among peers, though you hadn't fought much in this life!
However, you didn't lack combat experience; in your previous life, you were already highly skilled!
But there was also a truly powerful Demon Emperor!
Xuanming Demon Emperor! The third-ranked on the Top Hundred List!
He did not make a move while you were hunting other Demon Emperors!
Even after you had refined forty-nine Demon Emperors, he extended an olive branch to you!
Inviting you to join the demon race!
You could become a human demon!
You instantly became enraged! What kind of Xuanming Demon Emperor was this, utterly unreasonable!
You cleaved the sky with a sword, the Sword Realm suppressed! The Arc of Annihilation destroyed everything! The Blade of Worry-free severed Souls and extinguished wills!
You were furious, unleashing your strongest attacks right away!
Xuanming Demon Emperor fought you, slightly inferior by half a step!
He admired you; you were powerful!
And he respected you! For not betraying your own race!
So he chose to grant you dignity!
He conjured the demon god edict!
A demon god edict from beyond the Demon Emperor level, from a Demon God!
Xuanming Demon Emperor told you that the Demon Ancestor Realm had seventy-two Demon Gods, coeval with heaven and earth, ruling over all realms!
Xuanming Demon Emperor intended to force you into submission with a single demon god edict, to brand you with a Demon God's mark! To take you as a Demon God's battle general!
This was a common tactic used by the Demon Ancestor Realm Demon Gods when invading the heavens to gather the prodigies of various realms!
Xuanming Demon Emperor was a Son of a Demon God!
The Demon God's will was supreme and boundless! It seemed to suppress the entire Xuanwu Realm in an instant!
You refused to bow down!
A mere Demon God! To try and enslave you with a single edict, you became exceptionally furious; it had been a hundred years!
You had been biding your time for a hundred years, but not to be someone's dog!
You unleashed your strongest sword attack!
Sword Dao Divine Ability: Heaven's Arrival!
The Demon God's will could indeed suppress a realm, but with your Heaven's Arrival sword, you resonated with the heavens, summoning the Heavenly Dao to descend!
In the home ground of the Xuanwu Realm, you fought against the Heavenly Dao!
Could a god coeval with heaven and earth win?
Moreover, this was merely a single demon god edict!
The demon god edict and the descent of the Heavenly Dao, the divine decree and the Heavenly Sword collided!
In an instant, heaven and earth shook, as if cleaved in two!
The two energies collided, canceled each other out, destroyed, and vanished!
You escaped a calamity!
Only you and Xuanming Demon Emperor remained on the battlefield!
You did not let this Son of a Demon God go!
You fiercely fought him for over a hundred moves!
You finished him!
A mere Son of a Demon God! In his dying moments, wasn't he just like an ordinary person, begging for mercy, outwardly fierce but inwardly weak and dangerous!
But would you be afraid of his threats! Not only did you kill him, but you also activated Devour Demon, Consume Emperor, refining and devouring him!
Before you could even catch your breath!
A Void Black Hole suddenly appeared before your eyes!
It expanded in an instant!
In a flash, as if from endlessly distant time and space, a hand reached out, and a palm descended.
You died!
Along with tens of thousands of miles of continent, you were obliterated into dust!
You didn't even have time to react before you vanished into thin air!
