Rather Die Than Lose

Jiang Qiuyu was unable to warn Jiang Xuming in the Demon Ancestor's Dao Arena; she could only watch helplessly as he took that step.

This child she loves most has taken the first step and started the first battle at this critical moment when Demon are challenging her. Now, she will fight this battle with her own Future!

Boom!.

Within the Dao Arena, the Tai Xu Divine Manifestation merged, and Jiang Xuming roared to the sky, his eyes turning into the color of nothingness, his entire body emanating an extraordinary and unique Aura.

As a top Heavenly Prodigy, not only Chi Xu possess the ability of the Spirit Blood Strange Body, but the Jiang Family also has it, Jiang Xuming also has it!

Throughout the Demon Ancestor's Dao Arena, Immortal Power suddenly surged outwards at an even faster pace.

A Void Power gradually eroded and enveloped the entire Dao Arena, repelling the Immortal Power. Besides the Immortal Power, there were other powers in the Heaven and Earth. Before the Chaos collapsed and the Immortal Power was generated, there was Void Power!

The Tai Xu Divine, however, wields that Void Power to create the Great Dao and forge his own Emperor Path!

Each Great Emperor has carved out a supreme Great Dao for this Heaven and Earth, possessing their own Emperor Path and being a unique existence!

Therefore, the Great Emperor realm cannot be passed down or taught. One can only give one's own disciples fortuitous opportunity and foundations to help them reach the Peak Immortal King. After that, it depends on the disciple's Creation.

"What?"

Chi Xu sensed the changes around him and was slightly taken aback. His All Heavens Star Meridian were affected at this moment, and he was unable to draw power from the Starlight.

While he was still in a daze, Jiang Xuming had already activated the Myriad Dao Laws, using the power of nothingness to control it, and arrived in an instant, the divine spear piercing towards him!

"The Tai Xu Dao Absolute Godlessness!!"

Jiang Xuming growled, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

The immense Spear Intent was even stronger than before; it was not Immortal Power, but another kind of void power capable of swallowing everything.

Immortal Arts would be instantly annihilated upon touching this Spear Intent. Chi Xu's power seemed to be stripped away. He watched helplessly as the spear pierced through him. Then, his expression finally changed at this moment, from surprise to shock and anger, followed by a strong killing intent in his eyes!

Bang!

A violent tremor resounded within the Dao Arena, the collision of Immortal Power and void power like two Xingchen crashing together, causing Time and Space to distort slightly.

But the scene that people imagined— that Chi Xu's body would shatter again—did not appear. Instead, a mountain of bloody, fleshy pulp appeared and sucked the divine spear into it.

"You deserve to die for pushing me to this point!"

Chi Xu's voice was deep and resonant, like bones being ground together, giving one the feeling of goosebumps.

His entire body trembled violently, and the sky above the Demon Ancestor's Dao Arena suddenly turned blood red.

His true power is not Immortal Power, but the Blood Power!

He cultivates by devouring all living All Things. As long as he keeps devouring, he can continuously grow stronger. The more powerful the life and Bloodline he devours, the faster he cultivates. He has an extremely top-tier Bloodline among Demon.

Bang!

As he spoke, the immense, Abyssal Sea -like Blood Power surged back suddenly. With just one shock, the Void seemed to crack open, and Jiang Xuming's body was sent flying backward. His Emperor Intent seemed to have faded away.

"How is that possible?!"

The Jiang Family members were all shocked and incredulous.

Having merged with the Tai Xu Divine Manifestation and mastered its Great Void Power, he was defeated in the blink of an eye?!

At this moment, Jiang Xuming's power was already extremely terrifying. Ordinary Perfection of Immortal Lord Realm were no match for him, but his peak attack failed to kill this Chi Xu!

"Hmph, Chi Xu is Prodigy, a once-in-a-hundred-thousand-years prodigy of the Spirit Blood Race. He is born with the ability to 'devour,' capable of devouring All Things. If he hadn't been trying to break through to the Extreme Realm and Terminal Realms of various cultivation paths, with his nine-hundred-year Soul Lifespan, he would have already reached the Peak Immortal King!"

Upon seeing this, the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man couldn't help but sneer. If they weren't fully prepared, why would they Human Race territory to challenge us?

Jiang Qiuyu's face turned ugly; she knew that Jiang Xuming had exhausted all his methods.

Losing? If it were just losing, she could accept giving up an Immortal City. But Jiang Xuming was very likely to perish. Such Heavenly Prodigy Future Peak Immortal King. It would be too much of a loss for him to perish here!

You must understand, on the Border Battlefield, how many Demon can Peak Immortal King kill? That's far more than a single Immortal City can compare to!

Although human life cannot be judged by this, that is the reality—bloody and brutal, there will always be sacrifices and trade-offs!

"If that doesn't work, let Jiang Xuming admit defeat. The things we left there should be able to send a message to him."

Su Zhenyuan noticed Jiang Qiuyu's expression and his eyes changed slightly. Jiang Qiuyu was the person who knew Jiang Xuming best, and if she looked so upset, it meant that their chances of winning were slim!

Upon hearing Su Zhenyuan's telepathic message, Jiang Qiuyu hesitated for a moment. Seeing the renewed battle raging in the arena, with Jiang Xuming trapped in the overwhelming blood-red light and unable to break free even by activating the Great Void Power, she gritted her teeth and agreed to Su Zhenyuan's words.

To prevent any accidents, they had laid a trap inside beforehand, which the Demon could hardly detect.

Those hidden agents can transmit their voices into the arena, enabling them to command at crucial moments. However, if there is a significant difference in strength, commanding the battle is useless. Besides commanding, they can also persuade others to surrender.

The Sealing Array Barrier isolated everything, and both sides were watching closely, so they couldn't tamper with anything. In that case, they could only make Jiang Xuming admit defeat. As soon as he admitted defeat, they would immediately step in to protect him, which wouldn't break the rules.

"Xu Ming, if you can't handle it, just admit defeat. We've lost this battle, as long as you're alright!"

Jiang Qiuyu quickly transmitted her voice.

Jiang Xuming, who was engaged in fierce fighting, was stunned when he heard his mother's voice. Before he could think, the attack from Chi Xu suddenly intensified, and with a bang, he was sent flying and slammed into the Sealing Array Barrier.

Jiang Xuming felt his entire Great Void Body Immortal Body was about to shatter. He gritted his teeth and propped himself up, glancing outside the Barrier. He saw the tense and worried faces of the Jiang Family members, as well as his mother's anxious eyes.

He felt as if all the blood in his body had been drained, a feeling he couldn't quite describe.

The sky was gray, as if the end of the world was approaching.

In this Heaven and Earth, the cold wind is like a knife, scraping your bones and stinging your face.

He stood before millions of people, his body broken and even disheveled.

Admit defeat?

Jiang Xuming clenched his fists. He knew that the Demon were coming to kill the Human Race in this battle and would show no Heavenly Prodigy. They would seize any opportunity to strike deadly.

But wasn't he the same?

Jiang Xuming conceded defeat... He loosened his clenched fist and then gave his mother a relieved smile.

Jiang Qiuyu was slightly stunned when she saw that smile.

Then she saw Jiang Xuming raise his hand, cut a crack, and take out a bottle of pills from inside.

Jiang Qiuyu froze, her blood Solidification. She tried to call out, but Jiang Xuming had already swallowed the pill without hesitation.

With a series of loud thuds, as if some kind of chain had been broken, Jiang Xuming's body burst into a blazing Golden Divine Light. Then, this Divine Radiance turned into Chaos void. His hair stood on end, his Aura surged, rising to a level far exceeding his previous strength. Moreover, his cultivation level rose from the Eighth Level of Immortal Lord Realm to the ninth level!

Bang!

The overwhelming Blood Qi rushed in, only to be shattered by a single spear thrust.

Jiang Xuming raised his head, cracks appearing on his face, his Great Void Immortal Body on the verge of shattering.

That violent power made him feel an unprecedented and terrifying force.

Kill!

Without hesitation, he roared and charged towards Chi Xu.

Chi Xu's pupils contracted slightly, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. But then, he let out an Anger and ferocious roar, his Blood Qi surged, and black Dao Patterns suddenly emerged from within, covering his entire body!

"Eight Desolations Devouring Dao!"

Upon seeing this scene, two of the Demon Prodigies showed surprise in their eyes, their expressions becoming extremely solemn.

They knew that Chi Xu was using his strongest methods and his most trump card.

Boom!

The Dao Arena trembled, and Jiang Xuming, whose Aura surged, Unity with his own Dharma Form, unleashing a giant spear that swept across the sky and plunged into the sea of blood.

One by one, the eight pitch-black chains within the sea of blood snapped, releasing a terrifying Aura.

Su Zhenyuan, Jiang Qiuyu, and the others couldn't help but change color.

"Xu Ming!"

Jiang Qiuyu's eyes were filled with tears of blood, and her Aura surged and flickered. Various strange phenomena appeared around her body, turning it into a terrifying Forbidden Zone.

A cracking sound rang out, and from the sea of blood, the figure of the Chi Xu suddenly appeared. This time, however, it was not a bloody mess, but a humanoid figure covered in sharp, Blood Thorn. In his thorny hands, he tightly gripped a figure—it was Jiang Xuming!

The divine spear in Jiang Xuming's hand was broken, its light gone, and his Immortal Body was shattered, covered in cracks. He kept releasing Immortal Arts and punching his opponent, but he could not break free. Instead, his own Aura was constantly weakening, being transferred and absorbed.

"You deserve to die for driving me to this state!"

Chi Xu growled, his voice filled with ferocity and killing intent.

Suddenly, he thought of something, turned his head to look Demon Ancestor's Dao Arena, and then grinned, revealing a big, ferocious smile. Then, his head suddenly grew larger and he bit off half of Jiang Xuming's body.

At this moment, the Heaven and Earth seemed to fall silent. All Thirty-Six Thousand Immortal Cities were completely still, as if speechless, staring blankly at this scene.

Only the sound of constant chewing echoed within that Dao Arena.

"Although it was overused, the taste is still acceptable."

Chi Xu made his own assessment, then looked at the still struggling, half-dead body, his palms covered in blood.

"Admit defeat!"

Jiang Qiuyu, unwilling to take the risk, urgently and angrily transmitted her voice.

Jiang Xuming's Primordial Spirit had already broken free and moved aside. Looking at the Demon that was devouring his Immortal Body, he roared. Three hundred Golden Bone in his Primordial Spirit shone brightly at the same time, burning with scorching light. Then, like a Falling Star, he rushed towards Chi Xu.

He was determined to exhaust all his Primordial Spirit power and perish together with his opponent.

This power was extremely terrifying, and Chi Xu had no choice but to stop what he was doing and look at it solemnly. Then he activated his Blood Arts one after another, and terrifying spikes shot out, attacking Jiang Xuming's Primordial Spirit and continuously depleting his strength.

Since the end of the Ancient Demon War between Human Race and Demon, both races have been diligently studying and cultivating immortal Immortal Arts and killing moves targeting the Primordial Spirit. This is why, even 100,000 years later, the core area of the True Realm is still home to all races. After a long war, famous generals will inevitably emerge, and the cultivation Cultivation Method of each race have all become more focused on the Primordial Spirit.

However, cultivating the Primordial Spirit is even more difficult than cultivating a realm.

Even with extraordinary comprehension, one can only slightly accelerate progress; sudden enlightenment cannot completely solve the problem. One still needs to rely on the gradual accumulation and refinement over Years.

Therefore, top Heavenly Prodigy like Jiang Xuming, who were able to cultivate three Primal Spirit Golden Bone within a thousand years, already possessed extraordinary comprehension.

BOOM!!

Suddenly, a Black Cauldron shot out from the sea of blood and crashed into Jiang Xuming's Primordial Spirit.

A tremendous roar resounded, extinguishing Jiang Xuming's Primordial Spirit's Golden Flame. He was dazed and confused, and collapsed on the spot.

The Black Cauldron was inverted, enveloping it. Then, the Chi Xu began to devour the Immortal Body. After finishing, it came to the front of the Black Cauldron and released its Blood Power into it, which turned into crimson Bloodflame that burned continuously.

The Black Cauldron was sealed by the power of the Pseudo-Realm, blocking Jiang Xuming's screams and sounds. However, everyone could see that Jiang Xuming's Primordial Spirit was struggling and howling in pain as it was burned by the Bloodflame in the Black Cauldron. His whole body began to melt like Candle.

The pain of the Primordial Spirit is ten or a hundred times that of the Immortal Body. At this moment, being sacrificed alive, everyone can imagine how painful and miserable this is!

"Admit defeat! Make him admit defeat!"

"We've lost, but we can't let him die!"

In each Immortal City, countless people were anxious, wishing Carefree State person.

Dao Arena, the Jiang Family members clenched their fists and gritted their teeth. Those who were close to them had just been unable to hold back and wanted to shout for Jiang Xuming to admit defeat. Although they knew that their voices could not be heard into the Dao Arena, they still couldn't help but shout.

However, before anyone could open their mouth, Jiang Qiuyu had already transmitted a message, preventing everyone from speaking to persuade them to surrender.

She was in agony, more so than anyone else, yet at the same time, she was calmer than anyone else. Defeat was inevitable, death was certain. Their desperate cries for surrender would only become a laughingstock in the mouths of Demon, eroding the morale of the Human Race.

Even the Demon were watching this battle, as were the Thirty-Six Thousand Immortal Cities. The Jiang Family had lost, but the Jiang Family could not be afraid of losing!!

"Xu Ming..."

Jiang Qiuyu gritted her teeth. In the tens of thousands of years since she took over as the Family Head, too many of the Jiang Family's Heavenly Prodigy had perished during her tenure, including her elder brother, younger brother, and parents... It wasn't that she was incompetent, but that wars were too frequent and the Human Race was too weak!

Now, seeing her child fall before her eyes again, her heart still aches as if it were being torn apart.

Why be so foolish? Why not admit defeat? Why fight so hard...? These painful echoes resonated within her, but she knew the answer: because Jiang Xuming's surname was Jiang.

He also wanted to slay demons and monsters!

"Jiang Xuming..."

The Su and Lin families, Su Muqing and Lin Jinrou, and others watched this scene silently, their eyes filled with grief, shock, determination, and intense killing intent.

Jiang Xuming was defeated, he lost, and he didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy or admit defeat. He was facing death. But his opponent had a chance to admit defeat earlier. However, his opponent wanted to burn his Primordial Spirit and take a gamble!

In this defeated battle, as the vanguard of the Human Race, he failed to secure a victory, but his burning fighting spirit, ready to die, ignited everyone at this moment.

You can lose, you can die, but you cannot retreat!

"These are the top Heavenly Prodigy of your Human Race?"

Chi Xu been used to sacrifice Jiang Xuming, and his body had already transformed back into his previous Human Race form. He smiled coldly as he surveyed the Sealing Array Barrier. Sounds from outside could not penetrate the barrier, but sounds from inside could be heard through it.

He chuckled softly, "The taste is quite good, but unfortunately, it's nothing special..."

As soon as he said this, all the Demon in the Demon Domain cheered and called out the name of Chi Xu.

"The Red God is invincible!"

"The Spirit Blood Race is the strongest!"

Countless Demon were shouting, making excited and frantic noises.

Meanwhile, in the Thirty-Six Thousand Immortal Cities of Gusu Emperor Star, the anxious, questioning, and fearful voices, as they watched the Black Cauldron being refined alive until its Primordial Spirit gradually extinguished, finally fell into a deathly silence.

No one expected that such an amazing, Prodigy genius would perish here, and die such a tragic death!

In that oppressive and somber atmosphere, a voice suddenly rang out, seemingly taken by someone.

"It's just the first battle, what's there to be afraid of? We can fight our way back!"

"That must be the strongest among the Demon. We still have the Su Clan's True Phoenix to fight, and the Lin Clan's Emperor Son!"

"Yes, we can't be discouraged. He has a bright future ahead of him. He fought for us and he didn't give up, so how can we give up?"

In each Immortal City, roars of grief and anger erupted once again, with countless people united in their hatred of the enemy.

Meanwhile, in the Demon Ancestor's Dao Arena, Chi Xu had already put away the Black Cauldron, Jiang Xuming had perished in full view of everyone.

In this first battle, the Demon won!

"It seems you have no intention of sending the Human Race's top Heavenly Prodigy? I've heard there's an Emperor Son of the Lin Clan and a Su Clan's True Phoenix; would they be participating in the battle?"

The Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man chuckled, his voice carrying through the World Stone to both the Human Race and Demon realms.

Lin Daogong stared at him with deep eyes and said, "What, worried that we'll back down? You're overthinking it. Even if we have to die, our Human Race will never back down!"

His words seemed to be speaking on behalf of the deceased Jiang Xuming.

Countless Human Race roared in fury, their voices shaking the heavens and echoing across the entire Xingchen!

That's right, even if it means facing death, we will never back down!

The Northern Region Human Race is not like the scattered mob in other territories. Having experienced countless battles with Demon here, the Human Race has long seen through and understood the nature of Demon. They know that even if they surrender, they will only become currency in the hands of Demon. When they face a desperate situation together, that is when they collectively unleash their Xia Yong!

"That's good, don't let it scare you away."

The Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man chuckled. He was indeed worried that Chi Xu's performance might discourage the Human Race, leading them to send only some insignificant people to deal with the situation.

Rather than killing one Human Race Heavenly Prodigy, what he wanted was to annihilate all the Human Race Heavenly Prodigy of this generation!

"Who's next?"

At this moment, in the Demon Ancestor's Dao Arena, Chi Xu spoke, a cold smile on his lips, as he glanced outwards.

Upon hearing this, the previously Anger crowd's expressions changed.

The other side has no intention of backing down and wants to continue fighting?!

For a moment, the faces of the Jiang Family, the Su Clan, the Lin Clan, and the other Aristocratic Clan' Heavenly Prodigy all turned ugly, filled with shock, anger, and indignation.

Su Zhenyuan, Jiang Qiuyu, and the others remained silent; the previous rules had not prevented anyone from continuing the fight.

The enemy brought twenty men; fight until they are all defeated!

However, given Chi Xu's performance—even Jiang Xuming was suppressed and slaughtered, and he was defeated despite consuming Immortal Pill to boost his Immortal Power and cultivation—who will step in second? Who has a sure chance of victory?

All eyes turned to Su Muqing, Lin Jinrou from the Lin family, and a few other young people from the Lin family.

These individuals were the most renowned among the Heavenly Prodigy present, with Su Muqing being the most famous.

Sending anyone else to fight would only be suicide; only they have the strength to fight.

Even Lin Jinrou is somewhat lacking and may not be a match for her. All things considered, it seems that only Su Muqing is a worthy opponent.

Su Zhenyuan's face darkened, and he ordered his daughter, Su Muqing, to make a move immediately.
