Above Buzhou Mountain, deep within the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array.
Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi stood side by side, gazing at Xuandu in the center of the battlefield, where the aura was surging and the Chaos Dao Rhyme was soaring into the sky. Their expressions were... extremely grim!
" Zenith Heaven... Second Heaven..."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's voice was hoarse, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth:
"Big brother... we... we've been tricked by Yuanshi!"
This is a scam!
It's more than just a pitfall!
This is like being pushed into a fire pit!
Yuanshi personally went to the Demon Court and solemnly swore that Xuandu only just entered the Hunyuan. Although he possessed the Chaos Bead, his foundation was still shallow and he was not worth worrying about.
He promised to intervene in the final battle, to restrain Xuandu, and even to eliminate him.
The demon race only needs to fully activate the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array to annihilate the Witch Clan.
But what about now?
Xuandu not only appeared, but upon his appearance... he was already at the Zenith Heaven Second Heaven!
First Heaven century!
Such talent, such potential... how can this be considered a lack of foundation? How can it be deemed insignificant?!
This is clearly... a Great Wilderness behemoth powerful enough to shake the very foundations of Sage!
" Yuanshi... you plotted against me, Your Majesty!"
Di Jun gritted his teeth and roared, his eyes blazing with Solar True Fire that nearly set the entire Star Gazing Platform ablaze!
How could he not know Yuanshi's scheme?
Using the demon race as a tool, they instigated a great calamity, thus bringing forth Xuandu.
Then, with the help of Saints, they can surround and kill Xuandu, thus eliminating this variable.
When Xuandu dies, the Witch Clan will lose its external support, and the Demon Clan will be able to establish itself as the dominant force.
Yuanshi could also use this to consolidate the position of the Chan Sect, and even... seize the Vast Destiny that dissipated after Xuandu's death!
Kill three birds with one stone!
What a deep scheme!
But now...
Xuandu not only survived, but his strength increased dramatically!
Zenith Heaven Second Heaven, combined with the Martial Dao True Meaning... even if the Yuanshi Lord himself were to arrive, he might not be able to defeat him easily!
And what about the demon race?
The Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array Fully Open, Myriad Demons have emerged, now completely clashing with the Witch Clan!
The arrow is on the bowstring, and it must be released!
But if Xuandu intervenes at this moment and joins forces with the Witch Clan...
In this battle, what are the chances of victory for the demon race?
"Pass on the order!"
Di Jun suddenly turned around, his eyes flashing with a cold light like a knife:
" The Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array: Temporarily halt the offensive and switch to a defensive posture!"
"All demons, retract into formation! Do not attack without authorization!"
The sound was like thunder, carrying the Demon Emperor's determination, and it resounded throughout the entire formation!
"Big brother?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with confusion:
"Wouldn't switching to a defensive posture now give the Witch Clan a chance to regroup?"
"Shut up, all of you!"
Di Jun roared, and the Solar True Fire burst forth from his body, illuminating the entire Star Gazing Platform in a golden glow.
" Xuandu reached the Zenith Heaven Second Heaven. Whether Yuanshi can defeat him remains to be seen!"
"If Yuanshi is defeated... with the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array Fully Open, he will become a sitting duck!"
"At that time, Xuandu and the Witch Clan will join forces to launch a counterattack... Won't our millions of demon warriors be at their mercy?!"
Each question struck Eastern Emperor Taiyi's mind like a heavy hammer!
His face turned pale, and the Chaos Bell in his hand hummed softly, but he could no longer utter a single word.
yes.
If Yuanshi is defeated and retreats...
That demon race was now completely isolated and helpless.
Even if the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array is powerful, can it be stronger than the Zenith Heaven Second Heaven and the Du Tian Divine Fiend Great Array?
At that time, the Demon Race Annihilation in an instant!
"But... but what about the Witch Clan..."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi gritted his teeth and looked towards Buzhou Mountain.
There, the fighting spirit of the Witch Clan still boiled, and their Blood Qi still surged to the heavens.
Although the Du Tian Divine Fiend Great Array is damaged, its power, even at 60% of its original strength, should not be underestimated.
If the demon race switches to a defensive stance, the Witch Clan can seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack...
"We can't worry about that now!"
Di Jun slowly closed his eyes, his voice tinged with weariness, but even more so with determination:
"First, stabilize the system and assess the situation."
"If Yuanshi can defeat Xuandu, it will not be too late to launch a counterattack."
"If Yuanshi is defeated..."
He paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes:
"Then... let's retreat!"
The single word uttered was like Eternal Ice falling to the ground!
Eastern Emperor Taiyi trembled violently, golden flames flickered wildly in his eyes, and finally... turned into a bottomless bitterness.
In the final battle of the Great Calamity, the demon race mobilized in full force, the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array Fully Open, and countless warriors were prepared to die...
Now, they want to withdraw?
This is simply... an utter disgrace!
But if we don't withdraw...
Eastern Emperor Taiyi slowly raised his head and looked at the That Green Clad Figure in the center of the battlefield.
Xuandu stood alone amidst the Chaos Halo, his aura as vast as the starry sea, his gaze as calm as an ancient well.
But beneath that calm, a terrifying power seemed to be lurking, enough to tear apart the heavens and overturn the Great Wilderness...
Zenith Heaven Second Heaven...
A breakthrough in a century...
Such beings are beyond the reach of the demon race.
Even with the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array and the Chaos Bell... they might not be able to stop him!
"Withdraw?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi low voice, the Chaos Bell in his palm humming and vibrating. The speed at which the Sun Moon Stars Illusions on the bell rotated was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, revealing his chaotic state of mind at this moment.
"Brother... you make it sound so easy."
He raised his head and looked at Di Jun, golden flames flickering in his eyes:
" The Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array Fully Open, with the energy of Myriad Demons connected to the array. The array is complete, and the Karma are settled."
"If we rashly withdraw now... at least 30% of the demon warriors will perish on the spot due to the backlash from the formation!"
"Not to mention..."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi gritted his teeth, his voice hoarse:
" Xuandu Di Jiang, the Ancestral Witch, just stand by and watch us retreat?"
Di Jun remained silent.
How could he not know?
The Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array is the foundation of the demon race. It is based on Three Hundred Sixty-Five Main Stars and connected by 14,800 auxiliary stars, linking the power of the Great Wilderness Star Power to evolve the battles of the heavens.
Once fully activated, this formation will act like an invisible net, connecting the energy, bloodline, and Divine Soul of Myriad Demons to it.
We all prosper together, and we all suffer together.
If we can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, our fortune will naturally soar, and the power of the formation will reach a new level.
However, if the formation is withdrawn midway... the backlash from the formation will cause all the demons connected to the formation to suffer the reverse impact of the Star Power!
At best, it will cause a decline in cultivation level and damage to blood vessels.
In severe cases, the body will explode on the spot, and the Divine Soul will be completely destroyed!
Thirty percent... that's already an understatement!
Moreover, Xuandu had just displayed the power of Zenith Heaven Second Heaven, and the way he effortlessly blocked Yuanshi's attack...
Di Jun slowly closed his eyes, and the Solar True Fire surged silently from his sleeve, almost burning his entire arm to a crisp.
He knew he had miscalculated.
They miscalculated from the very beginning.
One should not blindly trust the Yuanshi.
The fate of the demon race should not be entrusted to the promise of Sage.
We should not have underestimated Xuandu, this variable!
" Xuandu ..."
Di Jun murmured the name, each word seeming to burn his throat:
" Hundred Year Zenith Heaven has now reached the Second Heaven..."
"Such talent, such potential... it's unheard of since Great Wilderness World Creation!"
He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as a knife, fixed on the That Green Clad Figure in the center of the battlefield:
"If this child is not eliminated, the demon race... will never have peace!"
After he finished speaking, the Star Gazing Platform fell into complete silence.
The Demon Saint and demon generals standing around all lowered their heads, not daring to utter a sound.
Only the starlight from the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array continued to fall as if it were real, illuminating the unpredictable faces of Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
