The Fall of Song Fuan

[The moment the Red Fire Crow Prototype solidified, a sudden heat surged within your Dantian.]

[The black and red flames unfurled a ring of golden and red fire feathers, then abruptly retracted.]

You stumbled and nearly fell.

[Chen Zhao grabbed your shoulder.]

"Lu Ping!"

[You raise your hand and press it against your chest.]

["Fine."]

[You tried to urge it, but the Fire Crow Seed didn't move.]

[Eating a full meal and then wanting to take a nap? Is this carbon monoxide poisoning?]

[The tearing and ripping within your Sea of Consciousness may seem like an eternity, but in the outside world, only a few breaths have passed.]

[As the Jinwu Remnant Soul was devoured by the Fire Crow Seed, another bronze bell of the Demon-Suppressing Tower shattered in the sky.]

[Song Fuan pressed down with his palm, and the dark green seal pierced through the demonic clouds.]

[The Red Heaven Demon Emperor's demon god avatar was forced back, a ring of towering patterns appearing on its chest.]

He did not back down.

[Song Fuan did not stop either.]

[Song Fuan burned his very essence, shattering his physical body, and forcefully lifted the Demon-Suppressing Tower once more.]

[The shadow of the nine-story building pressed down, and half of the Red Heaven Demon Emperor's body exploded on the spot.]

[Crimson flames swept across the thirty-mile battlefield, burning thousands of Spirit Awakening Demon Race to death and also destroying two Human Race Warships.]

[The wreckage of the Warship crashed into the array wall; the cultivators inside didn't even have time to scream.]

[Song Fuan raised his hand and grabbed, the shattered copper bell transforming into a bluish-black chain that bound the remains of the Red Heaven Demon Emperor.]

[Above the demonic clouds, the Demon Emperor Li Yuan and the Lu Wu Demon Emperor simultaneously pounced down.]

[Song Fuan supported the tower with his left hand and grabbed the Red Heaven Demon Emperor by the neck with his right, forcefully pressing this Heavenly Demon Stage Demon Emperor into the array Array Patterns of the Demon-Severing Cliff.]

[The flames receded.]

[The Red Heaven Demon Emperor's demonic body was half burned through.]

He finally panicked.

"Song Fuan, you've gone mad!"

"You have damaged your very essence."

"If you keep burning, you will be completely wiped out by this world."

Song Fuan did not answer.

He raised his fist, and then brought it down.

The phantom image of the Red Heaven Demon Emperor's Demon Core was shattered.

[The Vermilion Bird True Fire erupted from the crack in the Demon Core, covering half of the Demon-Severing Cliff.]

[The second Demon Emperor has fallen.]

[The remnants of the Human Race were silent at first, then someone shouted hoarsely.]

"The poster has slain another Demon Emperor!"

Hold the line!

"The Demon-Suppressing Tower is still standing!"

[In the ruins of the Third Medicine Camp, Chen Zhao grabbed an Alchemist with a broken leg.]

"Don't shout, let's go!"

The Alchemist was trembling all over, his teeth chattering.

"Camp General, did the lord win?"

[Chen Zhao tossed the person to the cultivators behind him.]

"That's not something we can interfere with."

[You stand behind the poison barrier, raise your hand and scatter a Spirit-Winding Thread.]

[A grayish-white medicinal aura seeped out along the ground, entangling the three-headed serpent demon's consciousness.]

[The three-headed serpent demon had just rushed into the Medicine Camp when its body simultaneously stiffened.]

[Chen Zhao raised his palm and smashed one of the skulls.]

[The third snake demon opened its mouth and spewed venom.]

[Three Low-Grade Spirit Stones flew out from your sleeve.]

[The Thousand Mechanisms Falling Blossoms Instruction is in effect.]

[The Spirit Stone flashed from the edge of the Void and smashed into the snake demon's mouth.]

[This I'm the Client.]

[The Fire-Separation Finger follows immediately.]

[The serpent demon's head exploded, splattering venomous blood onto the ground and burning a black crater.]

[You will retreat north with Chen Zhao.]

[Less than half of the Alchemists remain in the Third Medicine Camp.]

[They are the kind of people the Alchemist with utmost respect.]

[When the demonic tide rushed towards them, they were just slightly more expensive pieces of meat.]

[Chen Zhao tore open his Military Command Token and sent a final message to the Military Orders Office.]

"The remnants of the Third Medicine Camp are retreating north."

"Requesting assistance."

[No response.]

The front lines at Demon-Severing Cliff are in complete chaos, a jumble of overturned medicinal residue.

[In the sky, Song Fuan made his move again.]

[The afterimage of the Demon-Suppressing Tower shifted, directly colliding with the Demon Emperor Li Yuan.]

[The true form of the Demon Emperor Li Yuan was a Blackwater Mysterious Serpent, its body coiled within the clouds. With a sweep of its tail, it shattered two array platforms.]

[Song Fuan raised his hand and pressed down on the snake's head.]

[The Demon Emperor Li Yuan opened his mouth and spat out black water.]

[The black liquid landed, and hundreds of cultivators instantly turned into skeletons.]

[Half of Song Fuan's Daoist robe was corroded, revealing his body, which was beginning to become transparent.]

[But he stuffed the seal of the Demon-Suppressing Tower into the snake's mouth.]

[The next instant, the dark blue light burst forth from the belly of the Demon Emperor Li Yuan.]

[The third Demon Emperor has fallen.]

The remaining seven Demon Emperors stopped simultaneously.

They finally ceased their Killing Formation.

The distance between the Demon Emperors has increased.

[After being seriously injured, they were also afraid.]

[He feared that Song Fuan would drag things out until his death, and he was even more afraid that his own clansmen would take the opportunity to devour him.]

[Song Fuan struck again, capturing the Song Fuan Demon Emperor.]

[It originally intended to retreat while Song Fuan killed the Demon Emperor Li Yuan, but its Demon Core was locked by the last copper bell of the Demon-Suppressing Tower.]

[Half of Song Fuan's body has disappeared.]

He only had one hand left, yet he still held up the building seal.

[Lu Wu Demon Emperor, roars.]

"Venerable Fu'an, let me go!"

"My Myriad Demon Hall owes you a debt of karma!"

[Song Fuan finally spoke.]

"Are the corpses Demon-Severing Cliff enough to repay you?"

[Song Fuan held back the Demon Emperor, and they plummeted directly towards the fiery abyss at the bottom of the cliff.]

[The dark blue building seal explodes.]

[A burst of fire shot into the sky.]

The fourth Demon Emperor was burned to death at the bottom of the cliff.

The remaining six Demon Emperors retreated simultaneously.

They looked no further at Demon-Severing Cliff, nor did they pay any more attention to the Demon Race army.

[The six heavily wounded demonic figures tore through the Void and scattered, escaping.]

The Demon Race army was briefly thrown into disarray.

[Soon, a crimson fragment of a token exploded amidst the demonic tide.]

The Demon Race charged towards the Demon-Severing Cliff once again.

[They were left behind to continue wearing down the Human Race defenders.]

[This is the dignity of those in power.]

[The one who escaped was the Demon Emperor.]

[Those sent to their deaths are demon soldiers.]

[Regardless of Human Race or Demon Race, those at the bottom are like consumables on an ledger.]

[But people like Song Fuan are too few and far between.]

[In the sky, Song Fuan looked towards the Azure Dragon Domain, as if wanting to take one last look at the land he had guarded for so many years.]

[His body began to become transparent.]

[The shattered Demon-Suppressing Tower hung behind him, its nine-tiered bronze bells shattering one by one.]

He left no last words, nor did he try to make himself remembered.

[The fragments of the Demon-Suppressing Tower transformed into a final curtain of dark blue light, blocking the gap before it.]

[A million Demon Race crashed into the light barrier.]

[The Demon Beast in the front row exploded in droves, but those in the back row continued to push forward.]

[The light barrier lasted for less than a hundred breaths.]

[Song Fuan completely dissipated, even his aura was erased by heaven and earth.]

On the Demon-Severing Cliff, only the remnants of the Array Patterns still glowed briefly.

As you watched this scene, the warmth that had just begun to rise in your chest quickly cooled.

[You suddenly remember Wuming, and the monk who always tried to persuade you to become a nun, a monk who valued loyalty.]

[Then he looked in the direction where Song Fuan had disappeared.]

[In this damned world of cultivation, there are actually people willing to die for a group of lowly cultivators.]

Your emotion lasted only a moment.

[The next instant, the dark blue light barrier shattered.]

[A million Demon Race stormed through the final defensive line formed by the fragments of the Demon-Suppressing Tower.]
