After Gu Changsheng suppressed and sealed the Primal Demon Lord, those demonic creatures who had been forcibly elevated to the Quasi-Emperor realm by the Primal Demon Lord suddenly seemed to lose their source of power, their realms falling one after another, and they were quickly wiped out by Gu Qingcheng and the others.
At this moment, Gu Changsheng announced to the world:
“After careful consideration, today I will seal the Primal Demon Lord here. Every 100,000 years, he will break the seal once, and with each unsealing, his strength will increase. Each time he is unsealed, you will need to jointly send troops to seal him again. This is the Demon Suppression Trial!”
“Because the Demon Suppression Trial opens every 100,000 years, those who perform exceptionally well in each Demon Suppression Trial will have the opportunity to directly enter the Holy Emperor Palace for further study.”
“I am very satisfied with the performance of two little fellows in this Demon Suppression Trial. Someone will come to take you two to the Holy Emperor Palace!”
Gu Changsheng did not say whose performance he was satisfied with, which led the various commanders of the Ten Thousand Clans army to speculate.
Some guessed it was Gu Wei, the previous generation goddess of the Gu family, after all, she powerfully resisted three Great Sage peak demonic creatures with her own strength, but this was quickly rejected. The reason was simple.
Gu Wei is a descendant of His Majesty the Holy Emperor. She can obtain any magical powers or cultivation techniques she wants with ease and does not need to enter the Holy Emperor Palace for further study.
After excluding Gu Wei, Gu Qingcheng was also excluded. Gu Qingcheng is the great-granddaughter of His Majesty the Holy Emperor. What could she not obtain?
After these two were excluded, the remaining candidates made them feel troubled. A Great Sage ancestor from the Taishi Holy Land also performed exceptionally strongly, killing a Great Sage peak demonic creature. An old ancestor from the Undying Mountain in the Southern Wilderness was also strong. There were also the Qin family in the Qinling Mountains, and even some from the ancient demon race performed very strongly.
Which two people caught the eye of His Majesty the Holy Emperor? In addition to curiosity, they were more envious. In their opinion, being able to enter the eyes of His Majesty the Holy Emperor meant they were not far from becoming immortals.
Yes, their perspectives have now become elevated. Proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor? That is old news. Now everyone is talking about becoming immortals. They know that in addition to His Majesty the Holy Emperor and Empress Houtu, there are nearly thirty immortals in the Holy Emperor Palace.
The Qilin Ancient Clan was exterminated by an immortal with a single palm because they were unruly.
Just as these experts were guessing who it was, the Demon Extinction War had reached its final stage.
Under the leadership of the Great Xia Divine Dynasty's King of the North and many other commanders, the vast majority of the tens of billions of demonic creatures had been exterminated. The Ten Thousand Clans army, from the beginning of the Demon Extinction War to the present, had accumulated more than 50 million deaths. More than half of the army remained in the Demon Suppression Land forever.
In the final stage, the tactics of the various commanders appeared particularly cautious. They were confident of victory and did not want anyone else to sacrifice.
Finally, at dusk on the third day, the Demon Extinction War came to an end. The Ten Thousand Clans army, at the cost of 53,143,403 people, completely annihilated all the demonic creatures, including Bi Xian, a sage from the Yin Yang Sect, and a total of thirteen or more cultivators above the Saint realm sacrificed.
Eleven Saint realm cultivators, two Saint King realm cultivators!
In fact, the intensity of this war was even more terrifying than the Dark Turmoil. After all, a Primal Demon Lord was countless times stronger than all the Supreme Ancient Emperors, but the Primal Demon Lord was too unlucky. If he had broken the seal 1 million years earlier, he would not have ended up in such a miserable state.
With the end of the war, the natural next step was to clean up the battlefield. Countless pure essence crystals aside, the bodies of fallen comrades could not be left here. They were all heroes and martyrs. The survivors, whether human, demon, or ancient race, could not help but wonder if their fallen comrades would be completely forgotten by the world in the future?
Gu Changsheng returned to the Holy Emperor Palace after announcing it to the world.
At this time, only a Houtu incarnation was busy in the Holy Emperor Palace, not even noticing that Gu Changsheng had entered.
“53,143,403, the cost is too great. It seems that the Ten Thousand Clans are extremely unfamiliar with this large-scale warfare model and have greatly exceeded the estimated range.”
At this time, she was reviewing the number of deaths in this Demon Extinction War. More than 50 million deaths, and the rest were all carrying varying degrees of injuries. Strictly speaking, the deaths and injuries accounted for 95%. This ratio was too alarming, even she frowned at it.
The comprehensive strength of the Ten Thousand Clans army was more than one level stronger than the demonic creatures, but the results were not satisfactory. Through this Demon Extinction War, Houtu saw many problems in the Ten Thousand Clans army.
The heavy casualties of the Ten Thousand Clans army were due to the first joint effort of the Ten Thousand Clans, with many problems of adaptation between each other, but the most important thing was that the Ten Thousand Clans in the mortal realm lacked experience in large-scale wars. If it were placed in her former Ancient God Clan, a Demon Extinction War like this could only be considered a small battle. In the wars between the Desolate Territory and the Central God Realm, every war would be accompanied by the fall of hundreds of millions of living beings. Compared to the scenes she had seen before, the Demon Extinction War was not even a drop in the bucket.
“There is still a lack of generals who can lead the army. If someone could command the entire army and coordinate operations, the casualties would not be as great as they are now. Alas, the mortal realm is still in the Age of Dharma Decline. Now, the only ones who can truly command the Ten Thousand Clans army, besides me, are that lazy drunkard…”
“Cough cough!”
Gu Changsheng, who had been listening in the hall for a long time, could not help but make a sound.
Houtu heard his cough, glanced at him, and said, “Oh, our Holy Emperor, it’s rare to see you appear in the Holy Emperor Palace.”
“With your weird tone, I thought this was your true form,” Gu Changsheng unceremoniously summoned a futon in front of Houtu and sat on it.
Houtu rolled her eyes at him and said, “I am the incarnation of the true form, so my personality is naturally the same as the true form.”
“Where are the other ones?” Gu Changsheng stopped discussing the issue of personality with Houtu and asked about the other incarnations.
Houtu put down what she was holding, her expression becoming much more solemn. Gu Changsheng frowned slightly when he saw this.
Houtu said softly, “The true form has reached the most critical moment and must go all out. She has recalled the other clones.”
Gu Changsheng was unhappy when he heard this and said, “Since you have to go all out, why did you still separate you to deal with these things?”
Houtu chuckled and said, “Otherwise, you come and deal with it?”
Gu Changsheng's expression was calm as he said, “I have something to tell you.”
Houtu rolled her eyes at him again. Lazybones, you're using excuses to change the subject when asked to do something.
“What is it?” Houtu asked.
Gu Changsheng slowly spoke out his inner thoughts!
