War of Civilizations

There are two types of human settlements controlled by Demonic Beasts.

One type is those that are closer to the Holy Dynasty.

These gathering places serve several purposes.

For example, making trade with humans and accepting those who have been "expelled".

For example, it can attract powerful human warriors to attack, serving as a bridgehead.

Another reason is to suppress the morale of high-level cultivators in the Holy Dynasty.

Even though a large number of humans were right under their noses, they dared not intervene to rescue them, otherwise they would face the consequences of the demonic tide's retaliation.

Over time, these high-level cultivators of the Holy Dynasty will gradually become helpless and desperate, eventually giving up on themselves and developing a mentality of caring only about their own carefree life and not caring about the lives of others.

Just like on Blue Star, when one country wants to wage a propaganda war with another, it will also use various methods to expose the incompetence of the other country's political system, thereby causing the people in that country to become passive and give up, and even develop the idea that it is enough to live a good life and that the prosperity or destruction of the country is none of my business.

The dragon collar belongs to this category.

The other is the area occupied by the Blackfire Demon Emperor.

This is the true foundation of Demonic Beasts.

Such areas are often accompanied by super-large, or even Demon Realm rifts of the abyss level.

When a Spirit Lord-level or even a Cataclysmic-level Demonic Spirit descends, they can quickly overcome the weakened state by utilizing the spirituality within these captive humans.

The calamity-level Demonic Spirit will soon have the strength of a demon king, and the spirit lords will soon possess the combat power of a demon emperor.

As for the remaining Demon Emperor-level combat power, and even the accumulation of spirituality to strengthen oneself and evolve from an ordinary Spirit Venerable to a mid-level Spirit Venerable or an upper-level Spirit Venerable, it requires careful management and a considerable amount of time.

However, at this moment, the Blackfire Demon Emperor's gathering place was clearly under threat.

Half a day ago, Demonic Beasts reported that a powerful human warrior had arrived, and his strength was astonishing.

Two hours ago, the Demonic Beasts sent accurate information.

The human powerhouse who stormed in was none other than the same powerful being who, a few months ago, used his great Divine Ability power to annihilate the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor and wipe out millions of Demonic Beasts.

This news sent chills down the spine of the Blackfire Demon Emperor.

Fortunately, Star Mark Demon God contacted Profound Sun Demon God and Dragon Sky Demon God, and withdrew the defense line in advance. A large number of Demon Emperors and Demon Sovereigns gathered near the main settlement. Under the summons of Black Fire Demon Emperor, the number of Demon Emperors gathered around him has reached as many as eight.

This includes the Changyuan Demon Emperor, a peak Demon Emperor whose spiritual accumulation is abundant and who only needs to transform back into Demonic Spirit form to evolve into a high-level spirit lord.

It was precisely because of this lineup that the Blackfire Demon Emperor did not turn around and flee immediately.

"Will Venerable Xuan Yang appear in person? This human is known in the Holy Dynasty as a supreme Void Immortal of the Great Divine Ability level. Such human power is already close to the top among fourth-order life forms. He can fight ten ordinary fourth-order life forms. Our eight Demon Emperors may be able to repel him, but this will undoubtedly weaken our prestige. Moreover, if this human expert fights to the death and refuses to retreat, our side will inevitably pay a heavy price."

The one speaking at this moment is the Changyuan Demon Emperor, on whom great hopes are placed.

It has accumulated enough spirituality.

If it weren't for the fact that one demon god after another had recently rushed to the battlefield of the immortal kingdom, the Holy Dynasty's combat strength would have been clearly insufficient, and it would have had to abandon this body of the Demon Emperor and return to the Demon Realm to advance to the rank of High Spirit Venerable.

Once you gain the qualification to enter the Tower of Immortality, you can return to the world as a Venerable One, forge a demon god's body, and wield the power to determine the course of the battlefield. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

"The Venerable One is currently overseeing another settlement, which has 160 million people, far more and more important than our 50 million here. Recently, the Holy Dynasty's probing actions have increased significantly, so it is not advisable for it to move around casually. However, it will descend in person when necessary."

The Blackfire Demon Emperor paused as he spoke, "Furthermore, Venerable Xuan Yang has issued an order, and six Demon Emperors in the surrounding area have received the news and are rushing towards us. These six Demon Emperors are all skilled in combat and have formidable fighting power. When the power of our fourteen Demon Emperors is combined, even if this human is a peerless Void Immortal, we can ensure that he does not return."

"When did our war with the Holy Dynasty become so passive?"

At this moment, a Demon Emperor said with dissatisfaction, "Although the war in the Immortal Kingdom is important, the Holy Dynasty should not be underestimated. Don't forget that the population of the Holy Dynasty is no less than that of the Immortal Kingdom. Once they unleash their full war potential, they will surely become another major threat."

The Demon Emperor of Changyuan was also somewhat puzzled. "The Tower of Eternal Life built by His Majesty Cangming has thirty-six names engraved on it! Thirty of them are high-ranking Spirit Venerables, which means we have thirty Demon Gods!"

The Demon Emperor said, "In the past, we could say that there weren't enough Demon God bodies, and the thirty high-level Spirit Venerables had to rely on their own tempering of their Demon bodies. But recently, we have almost occupied the entire world, and resources have become much more abundant than before. In addition, our servants have improved the enhancement mode of Demon God bodies, so the cost of manufacturing Demon God bodies has dropped significantly and the efficiency has increased significantly. Under these circumstances, as long as we can achieve our strategic objectives, even if we damage some Demon God bodies, I think it is within a reasonable range."

"Do you think it's because Lord Xuan Yang is unwilling to go to war with the Holy Dynasty? Back then, Venerables Xuan Yang and Xing Hen intentionally used the Holy Dynasty as a benchmark to lure many surviving humans into their trap. Once their numbers were sufficient, they would wipe them out in one fell swoop. But recently, on the one hand, there have been changes on the side of the Immortal Kingdom, which have drawn away our main forces, and on the other hand..."

The Blackfire Demon Emperor's expression was solemn. "The Holy Dynasty also possesses spiritual power, and they have accumulated a large amount of spiritual power in a very short time through various means. Once they are forced to make a desperate gamble and fully detonate all their spiritual power, the resulting fluctuations will easily attract the attention of those monsters and become the coordinates that indicate their return. At that time, all our plans will be in vain, and the positions of hunter and prey will inevitably change."

"Those monsters..."

Upon hearing these words from the Blackfire Demon Emperor, all the Demon Emperors' expressions changed simultaneously, their eyes filled with apprehension.

"Therefore, we must either not make a move, or if we do, we must mobilize more than ten demon gods to crush the Holy Dynasty in an overwhelming manner, and not give them the opportunity to gamble everything."

The Blackfire Demon Emperor spoke heavily.

"We have sacrificed too much for this world..."

The Demon Emperor of Changyuan sighed.

"What's this? Back then, our ancestors paid several times, even ten times, the price they paid to achieve this!"

As the Blackfire Demon Emperor spoke, his eyes were filled with fanaticism. "Moreover, once we seize this world, we will surely be able to reignite its soul and bring it back to life... At that time, we, our descendants, will no longer have to fight with all our might just to survive, like we have."

"We will succeed! Under the leadership of the great Devil Master Cangming, we will definitely succeed!"

The other demon emperors responded in unison.

The atmosphere in the arena suddenly became somewhat frenzied.

At this moment, as if he had received some news, the Blackfire Demon Emperor suddenly said, "The Venerable's most powerful subordinates, the Kaya Demon Emperor and the others, have arrived."

"Kaya, its body was modified according to the standards of a demon god's body..."

The Demon Emperor of Changyuan.

"Alright, let's go out and greet them. Besides, our enemies are arriving soon..."

The Blackfire Demon Emperor's massive body stirred.

Almost as soon as it finished speaking, a dazzling light shone from the sky hundreds of miles away. The provocation and declaration of war were clearly felt even from hundreds of miles away.

"They've arrived."

The Demon Emperor of Changyuan gave a shout, and his enormous figure soared into the air.

The other demon emperors followed closely behind.

After they had flown for a while after leaving the palace, six demon emperors quickly arrived from afar.

"Kaya".

The Demon Emperor of Changyuan greeted him.

"The human expert named Gu Jinlai who killed Long Qi?"

Kayar Demon Emperor looked towards the blazing, dazzling light in the distance, his expression grave. "Star Mark Venerable's plan is probably not going to work; the enemy has come straight to our door."

"It all depends on our performance. If we can kill this human expert named Gu Jinlai, Venerable Xinghen, Venerable Xuanyang, and Venerable Longxiao can say that victory is assured and everything is as expected. But if we lose and force Venerable Xuanyang to personally intervene, the human race will surely see through our current weakness. At that time... a great battle will break out."

The Blackfire Demon Emperor said, "Therefore, we cannot be defeated!"

"Especially with the battle at Blood Swamp Demon Abyss reaching a fever pitch, we cannot afford to lose. Otherwise, if these Holy Dynasty humans break through our encirclement and rush to the aid of the Immortal Kingdom... even if they don't rush to the aid of the Immortal Kingdom, just the fact that the humans know that someone of them has won on this battlefield will boost the morale of the Immortal Kingdom. If things go wrong, it could become the last straw that breaks the balance of the war."

Kaya added, "Gentlemen, it's time for us to step up our efforts. Let's fight this battle to break the backbone of this human settlement and restore peace to the rear of the Bloodswamp Demon Abyss battlefield."

The other Demon Emperors nodded in deep agreement.

"For His Majesty Cangming's grand plan!"

"For the future of our civilization!"

"So that those of us who come after us can 'survive' more smoothly..."

The fourteen demon emperors stared at each other.

As high-ranking members of the Demon Realm, second only to the Devil Master, at this moment, they all felt an unwavering and indomitable belief burning within them.

In civilized warfare, there is no right or wrong.

Only survival.

"Humans!"

"Kill!"

One after another, the Demon Emperors roared, each revealing a gigantic demonic body tens of meters, or even nearly a hundred meters, with terrifying demonic flames soaring into the sky, sweeping up towering demonic clouds, and engulfing the Gu Jinlai.

And in the distance...

Feeling the overwhelming demonic flames unleashed by the fourteen Demon Emperors, the Chaotic Starlight Body Cultivation Method within his body, Gu Jinlai, began to circulate, causing his body to gradually expand and grow larger...

"Fourteen Demon Emperors? The Xuan Yang Demon God did not personally arrive?"

His towering figure, which quickly grew to over a hundred meters, took a single, seemingly insignificant step.

Although there was only one person, the lightning and thunder surrounding him instantly suppressed the demonic flames jointly unleashed by the fourteen demon emperors.

"Then let's kill these fourteen Demon Emperors first, and then face the Demon God Xuan Yang!"
