As Lord Yan revealed more and more information, everyone's heart sank. It was clear that if the situation continued like this, the Tianxuan Continent would not have the slightest chance of winning, not to mention that behind the Underworld stood a powerful person who was enough to make even the Emperor of Heaven fear him.
"Have you tried to seal it?" The ancestral stone spirit 'Yan' was silent for a moment before asking.
"We've tried, but it's of little use. We can only seal ordinary ghost soldiers. As for those who are stronger and have memories of their previous lives, they won't give us the chance to seal them. Once they realize something is wrong, they will even self-destruct... Those guys are not afraid of death at all!!" Lord Yan nodded, and his tone also became a little more irritable, because this way of fighting was too disgusting, even more difficult than the alien demons of that year.
"Unless we can control them with overwhelming strength, but in this situation, even the Lord of Primordial Desolation can't hold them back for too long!"
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. They all understood how disadvantageous the situation in the Demon Realm was. If they wanted to deal with the Underworld, they had no chance of winning if they were evenly matched. Unless they had absolute strength to completely defeat the other party, the other party only needed to drag on, and the number of strong men would increase dramatically until they were overwhelmed.
The Lord of Devouring and the Six-Fingered Holy Dragon Emperor, these two guys were top-level warriors second only to the Lord of Ice in ancient times. Now that they have been resurrected, even if their strength has been reduced, they are definitely not something that an ordinary third-level Samsara Realm cultivator can deal with.
It can be seen from the fact that the Lord of Fire was almost defeated by the resurrected Lord of Devouring.
As one of the Eight Ancient Lords, the gap in strength between each other is also huge. For example, the Devouring Lord was only slightly weaker than the Ice Lord in his lifetime. Whether it was combat experience or strength, he was extremely powerful, and he was extremely compatible with the Devouring Ancestral Talisman. Even his body and soul had undergone a transformation. Now that he has been resurrected, even if his strength is reduced, it will not be weakened too much. Even with the characteristics of his Devouring Ancestral Talisman, his strength will recover to the peak at the fastest speed.
The most important thing is that he is not afraid of death!
A Devourer who is not afraid of death... just thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle.
"Can the Devouring Lord break free from control?" The ancestral stone spirit 'Yan' asked. Even though he knew it was unrealistic, he still hoped that the slim hope would appear. After all, the Devouring Lord was quite powerful when he was alive, and he was extremely compatible with the Devouring Ancestral Talisman. As a result, his soul had undergone a transformation and possessed the power of the Ancestral Talisman.
"We chatted for a few minutes during the fight. That kind of control is not a soul imprint or a seal, but a change in consciousness. Although the Lord of Devouring still has complete memories of his previous life, he has great respect for the Lord of the Underworld in his heart. He even regards him as a belief and fights for him... Ha, can you believe it?" The Lord of Flame smiled helplessly and said in a low voice.
The Devouring Lord was fearless when he was alive. Even in death, he never bowed his head to anyone. Now that he has been resurrected, he actually has faith... It's outrageous!
Lord Yan was not afraid of scaring everyone, so he sighed and continued, "Alas, if they could get rid of their restraints so easily, the underworld would not have resurrected them. And according to the judgment of the Lord of the Great Desolation, the Soul Emperor, one of the Five Ghost Emperors, was most likely a true ancestor in his lifetime, because when the two fought, the Lord of the Great Desolation was crushed. If it weren't for his strong physical body, he would have been blown up by the other party long ago..."
"...Then how long can you last?" The ancestral stone spirit 'Yan' couldn't help but ask, it's impossible that it can't even last a year.
It would be fine if the Lord of Hell from the underworld showed up, but now with just the people below fighting, they are about to lose everything. They can't even hold on until the Emperor of Heaven arrives in person. This situation is really dizzying.
"It's not clear. It may collapse at any time. All the forces in the Demon Realm and the Chaos Demon Sea have been shaken now. Some even secretly contacted the Underworld, wanting to join them. The most important thing is that the Underworld has agreed and is even willing to keep their forces as long as they are willing to stand on the side of the Underworld!" Lord Yan said slowly, his expression a little numb.
He had just woken up and was faced with this situation. You can imagine how broken his mentality was. It would have been fine if he had encountered his old rivals, the demons, but these were a group of guys he had never seen before, and they were so troublesome.
"The situation here in Dongxuan Territory is not very good. I originally wanted to ask for your help, but now it seems that you can't even protect yourselves~" Jiang Yinyin's cute little face showed helplessness as she said slowly.
After saying that, she let out a long sigh.
"What should we do now? Should we retreat and defend ourselves, and wait for the Emperor of Heaven to clean up the mess?"
"No, if we really give up, there is no guarantee that the underworld will not kill everyone. To the underworld, the dead are definitely more valuable than the living!" Ying Huanhuanbing said without thinking. Now that the underworld is willing to accept the surrender of various forces, it is undoubtedly intended to undermine their will to resist. Once everyone really gives up resistance, it is almost time for the knife to fall.
By then, no one can escape.
"But now, the Demon Realm is obviously unable to hold on any longer. A total collapse is only a matter of time. The Lord of the Primordial World alone cannot change the situation, not to mention that he is still at a disadvantage in the battle against the Soul Emperor, and the East Xuan Realm is also in chaos... Both sides are on fire, we have to save one side!" Jiang Yinyin's facial expression became solemn, looking at Ying Huanhuan, and said in a deep voice.
"My idea is to give up the Demon Realm and Chaos Demon Sea, stabilize the East Xuan Realm first, and concentrate on resolving the Demon Prison!"
Hearing this, the little mink on the side changed his expression, moved his mouth, but finally said nothing. He knew that his strength was not enough. The people in front of him were all at the level of the Eight Ancient Lords, so he had no right to speak. But his home was in the Demon Realm, so how could he just give up?
Even if the Eight Ancient Lords and others had given up on the Demon Realm, he would never give up!
But the situation had become so bad that for the first time, Xiao Diao was filled with desire for strength and couldn't help but clench his fists.
Lin Dong saw Xiao Diao's expression and understood the other party's helplessness and anger, just like the current situation in the Dongxuan Realm. The situation in the Demon Realm was undoubtedly worse than that in the Dongxuan Realm. Xiao Diao didn't even know the current situation of the Heavenly Demon Marten Clan.
He took a step forward and asked on behalf of Xiao Diao: "Junior Lin Dong, I would like to ask how the Heavenly Demon Marten Clan is doing now?"
The Flame Lord looked at Lin Dong who suddenly jumped out, his eyes flickered slightly. Although the opponent's strength was very weak, he had many familiar smells on his body, which made his eyes show strange colors. He looked at him with interest, and then paused his gaze on the little marten and said, "The Sky Demon Marten Clan is fine, only a few elders were killed or injured. In contrast, the Nine Phoenix Clan is a bit miserable. The clan leader fell not long ago. However, after a period of time, the opponent was resurrected in the camp of the underworld and has now become our opponent~"
At this point, he couldn't help laughing. When people are extremely speechless, they will really laugh out loud, with bitterness and helplessness filling their facial expressions.
For a moment, he even forgot the idea of asking about Lin Dong's identity.
"Then let's deal with the alien demons first, and temporarily leave the Demon Realm and the Sea of Chaos to the Underworld!" Ying Huanhuan was silent for a moment, and then made a decision instantly. In the current situation, it would be meaningless to continue confronting the Underworld, and it would even continue to add powerful people to the other side.
In comparison, the trouble of the alien demons is obviously easier to solve. Of the two troubles, one must be solved, especially since the alien demons are their mortal enemies, so they will naturally pick on the weaker one!
Moreover, the Demon Realm and the Chaos Demon Sea are very large, enough for the Underworld to occupy them for a period of time, buying them time.
"Have you decided?" Lord Yan looked at Ying Huanhuan and asked.
"We have no choice. If we continue to fight the underworld, we will lose. The only chance of winning is to delay until the Emperor arrives in person. Before that, it is more cost-effective for us to lose fewer strong men." Ying Huanhuan nodded slightly and said decisively. It must be said that the underworld's method of resurrecting the dead is too shameless, especially in such a large-scale war. As the battle progressed, all the strong men on their side ran to the other side. How can they fight?
"Okay, I'll go inform the Lord of Primordial Chaos and the others!" Lord Yan said in a deep voice.
“I want to go back!” Xiao Diao looked at Lin Dong and said in a deep voice. Although he had learned some things from Lord Yan, he was still a little worried because he hadn’t seen with his own eyes that his father and others were safe and sound. Moreover, if he asked his father and others to give up the ancestral land of the Sky Demon Diao Clan, they might not agree.
He had to go back no matter what.
Lin Dong moved his lips, wanting to follow, but thinking of his own strength, he held back and could only say in a deep voice: "Take care, it's impossible to do this, you must come back alive, I don't want to see you in the underworld in the future!"
“Don’t worry, Master Diao is not that stupid. If something is really impossible, I will prioritize saving my life. Only by staying alive can I take revenge… Take care of yourselves too!” Little Diao looked at Lin Dong and Xiao Yan seriously. He had only been with them for a few years, but he cherished this brotherhood very much.
“I’m waiting for the day when you become the overlord of the demon realm!” Lin Dong said in a deep voice.
"Ha~ Don't worry, that day will definitely come!" Xiao Diao laughed and left with Lord Yan.
Lin Dong watched Xiao Diao leave, and the restlessness in his heart disappeared with the other party's departure. He knew that with his current strength, he could not change anything. What he needed to do most now was to improve his strength and integrate the power of the six ancestral talismans. Only then, he would be qualified to participate in these things.
He looked at Zushi: "I want to go into seclusion, please help me practice!"
"Okay!" Yan naturally wouldn't refuse.
As for Xiao Yan, he was naturally pulled away by Lin Dong. Yao Yan left him a lot of cultivation resources, especially those special elixirs, which were enough for Xiao Yan to transform and even evolve his bloodline again!
Soon, only Ying Huanhuan and Jiang Yinyin were left on the top of the mountain. The younger sister and the older sister looked at the scenery in the distance with different feelings.
"If you can't hold on until the Emperor of Heaven arrives in person, will you regret it?" Jiang Yinyin seemed to see everything clearly. She raised her little face, her eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, staring at Ying Huanhuan with a cold expression, and asked.
Compared to the Ice Lord back then, Ying Huanhuan is undoubtedly more real now. It is easy to see through her cold appearance.
Ying Huanhuan has never been a woman who is good at hiding her thoughts.
"What do you regret?" Ying Huanhuan's eyes flickered as she said calmly.
"Of course I regret why I wasn't bolder at the beginning. If you had been more proactive, perhaps it wouldn't be the turn of that little goblin from Jiutian Taiqing Palace... Junior sister, in terms of appearance and temperament, you are not inferior to anyone~" Jiang Yinyin said in a mature manner, with an attitude as if she was an experienced person.
Ying Huanhuan looked down at Jiang Yinyin, her expression unchanged, and said calmly: "I will never share a husband with anyone, not to mention that there is more than one woman around him!"
"It's okay to lie to others, but don't lie to yourself. You are the only one who knows what you are thinking...When it comes to love, sometimes you really need to fight for it yourself. If you really like him, you should take the initiative. Only then will you have a chance." Jiang Yinyin blinked her dark eyes and laughed softly.
Ying Huanhuan wanted to refute, but found that she didn't know how to refute at all. Just as Jiang Yinyin said in her heart, she did regret it. If she had taken the initiative at the beginning, would things be different? As for whether he had a wife... that was a matter for the future.
If this world is really destroyed and she dies, will she still have a chance to see him? !
Ying Huanhuan didn’t know either. She looked into the distance, a little dazed for a moment.
……
……
In the next few months, the Tianxuan Continent was in constant turmoil. First, the Lord of the Great Desolation led the allied forces to give up the fight for the Demon Realm. This instantly angered many forces in the Demon Realm, and they turned around and defected to the underworld. The Lord of the Great Desolation and others had no way to deal with this and could only watch it all happen.
After that was the Chaos Demon Sea… The Underworld took over the Demon Realm and the Chaos Demon Sea, the two most prosperous areas in the Profound Tian Continent.
At the same time, the battle in the East Xuan Territory was intensifying. With the return of the eight ancient masters, the major forces in the West Xuan Territory began to be unable to hold on. At this moment, many royal palaces of the Demon Prison were forced out and joined the battle, which allowed the battle to continue.
As for the Lord of Primordial Desolation... he has been targeted by the Soul Emperor recently and cannot get away at all.
The two of them stood facing each other in the void, and neither of them attacked each other because they knew they could not do anything to the other. Although the Lord of Primordial Desolation was no match for the Soul Emperor, he was able to hold on undefeated with his powerful body, and the Soul Emperor did not want to fight to the death with a turtle shell.
"You are quite powerful, why don't you join the underworld~" Emperor Hun Tian looked at the Lord of Primordial Chaos with a little admiration in his eyes, and said lightly.
The Lord of Primordial Chaos did not speak, but just stared at the other party coldly. He had nothing to say to the other party. The two sides were mortal enemies. If he was not weaker than the other party, he would not mind beating the other party directly. As for surrendering to the underworld, he had not learned to betray in his life.
Seeing the look in the eyes of the Lord of the Great Desolation, Emperor Hun Tian knew the other party's attitude. He chuckled and said, "You don't have much time left. In a while, Lord Ming will arrive in this world. By then, you will know how ridiculous your persistence is."
The Lord of Hell is coming?!
The Lord of the Great Desolation was startled, and felt a chill down his spine. (End of this chapter)
