The Final Battle
On the Ancestor Battlefield, a Blood Moon hangs in the sky.
Even in remote places, when people look up, they can vaguely see a poignant red, with a faint crimson glow falling on the forest floor, as if the mountains and rivers have been slightly stained with blood.
How could an ordinary person not be horrified upon witnessing this scene? Women and children trembled with fear.
The Western Territory, the edge of the world, is rich in resources, but its Fire Spring are mostly hidden underground and require excavation to seep out. The vast plains are usually shrouded in darkness.
But today, the scene before them completely overturned their understanding.
The mountains and rivers were covered in blood, creating a suffocating atmosphere as if the end of the world was imminent. Many children were so frightened that they burst into tears.
In the main battlefield, a Ancestor roared, "A mere hairy ape, riding a corpse that has been stiff for who knows how many years, dares to impersonate a so-called deity?"
His voice was deep and thunderous, carrying for hundreds of miles, denying that it was a true deity.
"Divine Corpse?" While many were shocked by its unfathomable power, they also learned the true origin of the figure in the Blood Moon.
"Kill!"
A murderous aura surged in the night sky.
The Blood Moon hung high, exuding an extremely dangerous aura. That corpse must have some background; otherwise, it wouldn't have been the first target sent out by the demon camp.
It traversed the sky, as if pouring down a torrent of Earth Immortal Blood from the heavens, making the entire battlefield a luminous, crimson spectacle with a chilling brilliance.
Immediately, people felt as if mountains and seas had collapsed, with extremely violent energy fluctuations. A colossal pillar reaching to the sky appeared in that area, first standing upright, then tilting, surrounded by a vast amount of characters.
It crashed down on the Divine Corpse.
It was as if a giant was wielding a huge club, trying to blast through the night and tear a huge hole in the sky and earth.
It is Heaven Stabilizing Divine Stake determines the fate of the clan in Night Prefecture, and its use would be crucial!
The group of Ancestor were quite decisive, immediately unleashing one weapon that belonged to the forbidden realm. If all thirty-six were used at once, it would come at a price; the best option was to fight to sustain the war effort.
With a loud bang, a deafening thunderclap resounded in the night sky, causing the thick, dark clouds to completely collapse, and blood-red light shot out in all directions.
Those in the distance couldn't see clearly, but on the adjacent battlefield, many felt a chill run down their spines, a coldness spreading from head to toe.
The Divine Corpse still had fragments of armor on it, which it used to block this devastating blow.
Is this the body of a deity? Even after dying for many years and being driven to attack, it still possesses such overwhelming power.
Boom!
The sky seemed to collapse and the night sky seemed to distort. Another pillar-like Divine Stakes appeared and smashed through, as if the entire night sky had been shattered.
On the demon side, an Old Devil roared, its voice shaking heaven and earth, clearly aiding in the battle, and mysterious streaks of light flashed across the entire battlefield.
On the Night Prefecture side, a dazzling display of light erupted, with Consciousness Spiritual Power, and Heavenly Light surging forward like auspicious multicolored clouds.
The Divine Corpse roared, and a weapon appeared in its hand.
However, amidst the dazzling rain of light, the already cracked spear in its hand suddenly broke, struck by the third, descending Heaven Stabilizing Divine Stake.
"Heaven and Earth Manifestation, its power swallows ten thousand miles!" Old Devil from the demon camp roared, and instantly, surging Yao Qi boiled, and a huge phantom and Divine Corpse merged into one.
The Divine Corpse then surged in size, growing as tall as a mountain, as if it were about to be resurrected. In an instant, the sky above the Ancestor Battlefield turned blood red.
Beyond the world, in the unknown night sky, everything was brightly lit, blood red and vibrant.
The Divine Corpse glowed, its enormous body exuding an oppressive aura. It was so massive that the crimson Divine Moon it supported covered the entire battlefield.
With the unleashing of the Demon Race's Divine Ability, it was as if an Elder Earth Immortal was about to be resurrected.
However, just as this Divine Corpse was shining brightly and its ferocious flames were overwhelming, its figure suddenly froze, and the blood-red light that was constantly expanding outwards became blurred.
A massive, towering pillar descended silently from the sky, as if it had flown in from another world, pressing down on its crown and suppressing it.
With a soft "poof," even the skull of Divine Corpse was pierced by the fourth Heaven Stabilizing Divine Stake of unknown origin, and the clear sound of bones cracking echoed across the battlefield from that mountain-high body.
It shook its head violently, and its entire body was filled with the Daoist aura of the Demon Race race, with dense and intricate patterns, as if it wanted to repair the skull and shake off the Heaven Stabilizing Divine Stake.
An old demon's expression suddenly changed, and he said, "This is bad! This Divine Corpse's head was already injured; its crown chakra was shattered years ago, and it was struck right at the defective spot."
"The Four Symbols Formation begins!"
In Night Prefecture, the Ancestor shouted loudly.
They activated all four Heaven Stabilizing Divine Stake, and now they have all been revived. In an instant, the enormous Vermilion Bird spread its wings, its feathers incredibly vibrant, carrying a sky full of firelight, as if pouring down from beyond all worlds.
Immediately, a massive azure Azure Dragon emerged from the sky, then swooped down, entangling the Divine Corpse and locking it tightly in place.
A White Tiger, as tall as a mountain, radiated a blinding, murderous light that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth. With a leap forward, it unleashed a terrifying aura that seemed to shatter magnificent landscapes, tearing apart the Divine Corpse.
Then, Black Tortoise descended to earth, as if carrying the Water of Northern Darkness, vast and boundless. Then, as if drawing a celestial river, it roared and, accompanied by boundless Daoist rhymes, shattered the boundless demonic Yao Qi under the night sky.
Puff!
Ultimately, the already cracked skull of the Divine Corpse shattered, fragments of skull flew off, and a thick Divine Stakes pierced into its skull.
Moreover, it was stirring, and the pile was covered with mysterious characters, in the Phoenix Seal Script, densely packed, the characters like waterfalls crashing into the inside of the skull.
Within the demon camp, many Old Devil roared in fury.
The young and strong members of the Demon Race felt their hair stand on end. The scene was as if they were witnessing it firsthand, their brains being stirred like egg yolks, which was truly terrifying.
Several old demons used their Divine Ability, but ultimately failed to change anything.
Four thick Divine Stakes pierced different parts of the Divine Corpse, pinning its massive body to the void.
Then, the four Divine Stakes burst forth with dazzling light, and a large number of characters appeared, as if they were about to burn the sky and boil the sea, scorching through the entire night sky, which was extremely terrifying.
After being pierced by four thick Divine Stakes, the enormous Divine Corpse was enveloped by astonishing runes. Then, with a loud crash, it shattered into pieces and disintegrated on the spot.
Even in remote areas, one can generally see Blood Moon bursting open under the vast night sky.
Red light was everywhere, like the sunset rushing in all directions, but soon, the endless, tragic blood light faded quickly, like the tide receding.
After all, with even the source destroyed and the Blood Moon no longer existing, how can its light still shine throughout the world?
In remote areas, in the wilderness outside many villages and towns, everything has returned to the inky darkness of night, except for the Ancestor Battlefield, which remains as bright as day.
A furry old ape burst forth from the shattered Divine Corpse. It was clad in Golden Armor and roared furiously. The sacred body of its ancestor had been destroyed just like that.
At the same time, the consciousnesses of other old demons surged up around him. They had just joined the battle and were now quite angry, as the first battle had not achieved the desired deterrent effect.
"You hairy ape, riding on corpses, you dare defy the heavens? Prepare to die!" This is a rare Present Tathagata the Buddha, who is usually sparing with words, to utter such a murderous statement.
At this moment, he stretched out a huge palm, covering the sky and the earth, grabbing at the old ape like a mountain pressing down.
This scene shocked both sides.
The old ape roared and threw a punch, as if it wanted to shatter heaven and earth and break through the barriers to become a god. It was extremely powerful, its aura soaring to the heavens and earth, carrying golden light all over the sky, and it charged towards the Buddha of this Present Tathagata.
The Great War Ancestor Erupts!
"Wow! Gaa!"
Under the vast sky, a terrifying crow cawed, appearing like a pitch-black Great Sun. Its sound waves were extremely terrifying, affecting the Mental Plane and impacting the morale of the Night Prefecture side.
Most importantly, it seeks to erode the Mental Field of the Present Tathagata.
"You old crow, you dare to launch a sneak attack? Prepare to die!" A voice rang out from Night Prefecture's side, and someone soared into the air.
He was clad in Scarlet Gold Armor, and not only did he have a clear, melodious voice, but he also looked like a young boy. His entire body radiated Divine Chains of Order resembling Phoenix feathers.
He Lian Chengyun held a large bow, aiming at the terrifying old crow demon at the Peak Sixth Realm.
"You dare bend your bow at me!" The old crow was extremely arrogant. It took off into the air, its black feathers bursting forth with boundless Dark Light, and launched an attack.
He Lian Chengyun shouted, "My Sun Shooting Immortal Arrow is specially crafted to kill the Golden Crow! How dare you, you old crow, spout such nonsense? Die!"
He suddenly released the bowstring, and a Immortal Light shot out, not like Arrow Feathers at all, but like a thick bolt of Heavenly Thunder that plowed across the entire night sky, distorting the surrounding scenery.
After the arrow had traveled far away, a thunderous sound erupted behind it.
In the night sky, explosions rang out incessantly. The Arrow Feathers, wreathed in Immortal Light, collided with the powerful Demon Power released from the wings of the old crow demon Dao Rhythm Surges, constantly devouring each other before exploding rapidly.
Boom!
The old raven demon of the Sixth Realm had some of its feathers blown off and falling, all stained with blood.
It was not seriously injured, its face was gloomy, like a black Solar Yang in the sky, and it urged its blood-stained feathers, as if it had summoned many flying swords, to slash at the red-armored youth standing in the night sky.
It said coldly, "The night gave us black wings, and the Golden Crow was thus stained with ink, its Demon Power stronger. What is this so-called Sun Shooting Immortal Arrow? I will make you destroy your arrow and kill your people!"
In the blink of an eye, jet-black feathers shot out, and arrows pierced the sky, all flying rapidly toward their opponent, each carrying a strong Daoist aura, seemingly affecting the stability of the void.
Sizzle!
He Lian Chengyun's armor was damaged, with black feathers stuck in it and faint traces of crimson blood seeping out.
However, his youthful face was indifferent, his expression unwavering, as he continued to draw his bow and shoot arrows.
In the distance, a burst of blood mist erupted, and one of the old crows at the Peak Sixth Realm nearly exploded, leaving a terrifying bloody hole, blasted apart by Arrow Feathers.
Moreover, He Lian Chengyun's rapid-fire arrows began to fly in densely.
"Kill!"
"Slay the demons and vanquish the monsters! Now is the time!"
In the main battlefield, the Ancestor of Night Prefecture, along with many powerful figures from the demon camp, charged forward, resulting in the most intense battle.
In the distance, whether ordinary people or cultivators, after the initial shock, everyone felt their blood boiling. This was the most terrifying battle in four hundred and fifty years, and it was breaking out today.
Someone shouted, "The Ancestor have already made their move; it's time for us to open up a second front and crush the demon army head-on!"
The younger generation was all eager to fight, their fighting spirit soaring high.
However, such a high-level battle, a clash of the Sixth Realm, was destined to be cruel and bloody. The battle had only been going on for a short while when some powerful figures disintegrated.
One Ancestor severed half of his opponent's body, but his own body was riddled with dozens of Demon Sword from the Fiend Sword Immortal, leaving him riddled with bloody holes.
Moments later, on this battlefield, more than one expert of the Sixth Realm exploded multiple times, and demons continued to disintegrate.
Instantly, all the spectators in the distance felt a chill run down their spines. The core area of God's Fall Plain was like a meat grinder, with the gates of Hell wide open, a scene of utter carnage.
As time went by, some Ancestor had fallen, and powerful members of the Demon Race race had also perished. Blood rained down everywhere, and even the clouds that had scattered to the horizon were stained red.
Whether they were Demon Race or humans, every living being who witnessed this scene felt their hair stand on end. That was a master of the Sixth Realm, who had been killed in the fierce battle between the two factions.
Even the most radical young men were now shivering with fear; this bloody and brutal battle was truly terrifying and awe-inspiring.
If this fight continues, countless Grandmaster Level on both sides will perish.
The people of Night Prefecture naturally thought of the battle four hundred and fifty years ago, when the Ancestor first went to the Northern Region to drive out the Nomadic Hunting Civilization, and then went west to fight against the Demon Civilization. Almost all the experts of the Sixth Realm were wiped out.
"How can we just watch the Ancestor fight? It's our turn to strike! Kill!" a Grandmaster roared.
They bypassed the main battlefield and advanced towards the demon army.
"A true Master fears neither life nor death. Bathed in the blood of demons, he breaks through barriers and ascends to a higher level. His glory will be achieved today!"
Behind them, a group of Master-level elders shouted and followed from a distance, eventually joining the fray to slay the demon army.
Immediately, a large amount of Black Mist and blood-red light surged from the demon camp, clearly indicating that even the Grandmaster at the Apex Fifth Realm had mobilized.
"Slay the demon!"
On the Night Prefecture side, a Grandmaster shouted, which seemed to be a signal. Instantly, several Grandmaster unleashed a number of rare treasures, bombarding the opposing Demon Race army.
As you can see, they resemble both flags and banners, fluttering in the wind. There are six of them, in accordance with the principles of the universe, attempting to Heaven Lock and the earth, and unleashing boundless light.
Moreover, they were rapidly enlarging, the thick flagpoles, or rather, banners, seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth, inserting themselves into the Demon Race army.
If that hits, it will definitely cause heavy losses to the enemy.
A top-tier Grandmaster shouted, "Everyone, join forces to refine the Human Emperor Banner! The moment to subdue the demon is here!"
In an instant, all the Grandmaster made their moves, activating the six deadly treasures.
Furthermore, they shouted, "Use the Human Emperor Banner to slay the demons!"
The Grandmaster of the demon faction naturally could not allow such an event to occur, and was extremely furious.
An old demon scoffed, "Bah! It's clearly Demon Refining Banner, yet it dares to call itself the Human Emperor Banner! Utterly shameless!"
A Grandmaster of the Demon Race shouted, "Everyone, let's join forces and unleash the Good Fortune Gourd to annihilate the Upright Demon Ape Clan in the East Corner!"
Clearly, they were evenly matched. The humans called them demons, while they called the people of Night Prefecture the Upright Demon Ape Clan.
The Grandmaster from the human race coldly said, "What nonsense about the Good Fortune Gourd! It's clearly the Blood Soul Gourd. Who knows how many souls it sacrificed to nurture a gourd of God-Slaying Sword Light?"
The six Emperor's Banners fluttered and swayed in the night wind, expanding rapidly as if they wanted to cover the entire vast plain and press down on the demon army. The banners and pennants covered the sky and the earth, and the blood-red light surged, covering the wilderness.
The Grandmaster from the demon side retaliated, saying, "The Good Fortune Gourd has been nurtured for hundreds of years, and today it is born. One Sword can shatter mountains and rivers, two swords can bury immortals, three swords can cleave the stars, and four swords... Damn that upright ape, it's unleashing its powerful weapon again!"
The Blood Soul Gourd erupted, spewing forth terrifying Sword-Ray, which clashed violently with the six banners, creating layers upon layers of killing light between them.
Meanwhile, the Grandmaster from Night Prefecture activated another powerful weapon, and a nine-story stone tower appeared. Its body was carved with mountains and rivers, exuding a strong Daoist charm and weaving together strands of order.
"Mountains and Rivers Nourishing Life Pagoda, purify the world, suppress it!" shouted a Grandmaster from the human side.
Immediately, an old demon, enraged and then anxious, cried out, "It's the Mountains and Rivers Demon Refining Pagoda! Damn it! Break it!"
Clearly, such a powerful weapon is famous in history; their elders must have witnessed it at least 450 years ago in that battle.
Some of the older monsters here have even experienced it firsthand and know its bloodshed and terror.
"Heavenly Demon Righteous Qi Hammer, Boom!" Several old demons joined forces to unleash a powerful weapon of the same level. Instantly, a blood hammer appeared in the sky, carrying billowing Yao Qi, like a wisp of smoke, shattering the night fog and crashing towards the huge stone tower.
Thump!
A deafening roar erupted between heaven and earth, clouds surged, and blood-red light shone everywhere. The weapons unleashed by both sides were neither sacred nor peaceful; they were either shrouded in Black Mist or wreathed in blood-red light, and they continued to bombard each other.
Soon, the battlefield of the Grandmaster was filled with the stench of blood. The scene was astonishing. Some heavy weapons and rare treasures were all sent flying, colliding constantly in the night sky. In the blink of an eye, some treasures were damaged, and one after another, powerful weapons fell to the ground.
These precious artifacts will require extensive refinement and the incorporation of rare materials to repair in the future.
Only when all the large-scale weapons that required multiple people to activate dimmed and withdrew from the battlefield did the Grandmaster from both sides charge into battle.
Subsequently, the Master from Night Prefecture also entered the fray, rushing towards the opposing camp. The Master-level experts from the demon camp immediately intervened, and a bloody battle ensued.
Bang! Bang!
Blood splattered in the night sky, and some people's bodies were shattered. It was an extremely brutal battle. It was not easy to cultivate to this level of strength. However, as time went by, more and more Master withered and died on the battlefield, and many Demon Race race experts also died.
With high-ranking officials from Night Prefecture and the demon faction involved, the battle had escalated to an extremely brutal level. Even watching from afar, witnessing such a scene firsthand still evoked a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Roar!" A loud roar shook the mountains and rivers.
In the Northern Region, deep within the night fog, a terrifyingly Great Sun emerged, blindingly bright, rushing towards the sky and illuminating it.
"I'm back! If I'd known there would be such a life-or-death battle, why did I even leave for this distant land? You demon brats, I fought you four hundred and fifty years ago, slaughtering your ancestors until they were utterly routed! And now you dare to invade again? You should all be killed!"
An old man flew in, incredibly rugged, and charged into the Ancestor Battlefield.
"Sky Bearing Old Scoundrel, it's Anomalies that you're still alive. Today I'll destroy you!" And indeed, an old demon recognized him.
In the night sky, the Heavenly Light surged, burning like the Scorching Sun, crashing towards the Sixth Realm powerhouse of the demon camp.
"You bunch of demonic brats are all still alive, how could I bear to leave this world? I will use you to hone my Sky Bearing Body. As long as I survive this battle, I will surely have hope of paving the way!" The Ancestor of the New Life Path, Sky-Pillar, returned and charged into the battlefield, almost going mad.
The next moment, he was like Pangu Heaven-Opening, wielding a giant axe, traversing the battlefield, unleashing terrifying Axe Light in succession, and blood immediately splattered, severely injuring a powerful demon.
"Old man, you're so old, you should have been swept into the dustbin of history long ago. Yet you dare to stir up trouble! Today, I will kill you!"
A rising star among the demons arrived, extremely powerful. He had been in the Sixth Realm realm for nearly two hundred years, advancing triumphantly all the way. Now, with his accumulated experience, he was bursting with confidence.
Sky-Pillar laughed heartily, showing no anger, and said, "Very well, I hope you can wear down this old man's bones. I desperately need a formidable enemy to push me to the brink of despair and help me break through this barrier!"
In an instant, the two engaged in a bloody battle. The Great Sun blazed overhead, Yao Qi Chongxiao, and blood spurted out continuously.
Puff!
In the end, the confident Great Demon, eyes wide open, met his end under the Sky-Pillar axe. He was cleaved in two, his demonic soul escaping, but the axe unleashed its Sky Supporting Force, distorting space and imprisoning him.
"Let him go!" An old demon rushed over and instantly engaged in a fierce battle with the Sky Bearing Ancestor.
The Jade Purity Ancestor roared, ignoring his injuries and nearly going mad. Heavenly Light Force shot out from every inch of his body, as if he wanted to burn away all his life Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
Then, Jiang Zhiyuan, the Ancestor of the Yin Yang Temple, also erupted.
The old monster on the Immortal Path gasped in the night mist, saying, "Hiss! The people on the New Life Path have all gone mad! They're leaving themselves no way out. They'll either perish today or New Life from the Nirvana!"
"We too shall bathe in divine blood to break through the barrier!" roared an old monster from the Esoteric Sect.
The Ancestor Battlefield became even more terrifying and brutal; after the battle, it was unknown how many people would be left.
Not only on this main battlefield, but also on the second battlefield opened up by the Grandmaster, and in the places where Master duel, powerful figures are constantly falling.
Upon witnessing this scene, many of the young and middle-aged people were filled with righteous indignation, their eyes reddening with tears. Among them were their elders from their schools and their relatives.
"Golden Halberd swords and blood-stained clothes, those who are not afraid to die, follow me to kill the enemy!"
Among the young and strong, some opened up new battlefields, and a large group of experts followed and fought their way out.
In fact, the middle and lower ranks of the demon army also launched a simultaneous attack, rushing towards Night Prefecture.
The War Horn sounded, shaking the sky, and at this moment, the troops from both camps launched their charge.
On the Night Prefecture side, the younger generation roared, brandishing swords and spears, and unleashing Spirit Artifact and rare treasures as they charged towards the demons in the vast plains.
"At this critical moment, what should a true hero, a true man, fear? Fame and glory can be won on horseback! Kill!"
A group of passionate young people, their initial anxieties and fears all faded away. Seeing their elders fighting fiercely, they too were filled with fighting spirit and joined the battle.
