What exactly went wrong on the side of the Divine Power Realm?
After pooling everyone's points, it took them over an hour to revive the person who had suddenly appeared. Zhu Chihu looked at the person and spoke in a deep voice.
"Too many!"
The person who woke up was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and said with an extremely gloomy expression, "The number of the Divine Power Realm Demon Race who have entered from the demon race is nearly twice the total number of those from the human race combined."
Although he was at the Divine Power Realm, he did not look down on the person who was asking him questions. He recognized the other person; he was from the same era as him. More importantly, although the other person was still at the Dao Arts Realm, he was not sure he could win in a fight. The other person had only stayed at Study Cliff because of his Primordial Spirit issue; otherwise, he would have gone to the Void Secret Realm long ago.
"So many?" Zhang Zhuzhu and Zhu Tongyu couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
Regarding the Divine Power Realm at Dao-Seeking Cliff, they knew that the number of Demon Race exceeded that of humans, as Zhang Shengying had mentioned, but the ratio was less than double.
Zhu Chihu and the others couldn't help but show their shock. Something's not right. Although there are more Divine Power Realm cultivators among the Demon Race race than among the human race, there are only about sixty of them who have entered this place. Now, there are ninety of them all at once? There are ninety of them in the Dao-Seeking Cliff? You should know that there are only about one hundred and twenty known Demon Race Divine Power Realm among the demon race in the Earth Immortal Realm!
How is that possible?
The main fighting force in the Earth Immortal Realm is at the Divine Power Realm; Immortal Realm cultivators will not participate.
Therefore, the struggle for territory, especially for resources, is mainly fought between those at the Divine Power Realm.
Currently, Xia Kingdom has fewer than twenty Divine Power Realm who have entered the Dao-Seeking Cliff, because the rest are all stationed at various resource points in the Earth Immortal Realm, competing with the Demon Race race.
The Demon Race has suddenly taken away ninety cultivators at the Divine Power Realm. Are they going to abandon the local resources?
The person who spoke had an extremely bitter expression on their face as they said, "Yes, I never expected the other side to suddenly send out so many demons!"
With ninety Divine Power Realm, doesn't that mean there are only slightly more than forty Demon Race in the Earth Immortal Realm now? That's on par with the human race.
"This message must be sent out!" Zhu Chihu stood up excitedly. There was no doubt that the chances of losing the Divine Power Realm on the Dao-Seeking Cliff were very high, but if they could notify the outside world and send out the information now, the resources of the Earth Immortal Realm would be enough to make up for the losses here. She couldn't help but want to send people out directly. But she stopped as soon as she stood up.
Damn it!
With an extremely gloomy expression on his face, Zhu Chihu almost ground his silver teeth to powder.
Was this the moment the other party was watching during that brief gap in time?
Once you enter the Dao-Seeking Cliff, the duration of your stay is consumed in two ways.
A typical year here is equivalent to one month outside, regardless of whether you go out beforehand. On the other hand, when you are preparing to comprehend the Dharma or the Tao, you can consume the time you hold to do so.
Leaving the second one aside, let's start with the first one.
The Demon Race is clearly playing the time game. They've been inside for over a week, and the only day they were synchronized with the outside world has long passed. Even if they send people out to deliver intelligence now, it will be another month before the outside world receives the message.
It's been too long.
Moreover, by then, even those at the Divine Power Realm of the Demon Race could leave directly from here, meaning the defensive loopholes in the Earth Immortal Realm would be completely eliminated.
Damn it, damn it!
Zhu Chihu couldn't help but fly into a rage, whether he was in the Dao Arts Realm before or the Divine Power Realm now.
The Demon Race race seems to be getting increasingly cunning, always hitting their weak points, especially this time, when they actually set up an empty city ploy in the Earth Immortal Realm!!!
The situation in the Xia Kingdom Dao Arts Realm was already not optimistic, having lost nearly fifty spots.
If even those at the Divine Power Realm were like this, it would truly be a great crisis. The Dao-Seeking Cliff would become a paradise for the Demon Race, just like most places in the Earth Immortal Realm.
Why did the Xia Kingdom go to such lengths, gathering 100,000 points, to make Zhao Kang Cave Abode Disciple? It was to ensure the stability of the Xia Kingdom in the Dao Arts Realm, at least to maintain the academy. As for the Star Sea Fishpond, it had been completely abandoned.
This feeling of being slowly devoured is just too painful.
How many people have any resurrection attempts left?
Zhu Chihu took a deep breath and asked with an extremely solemn expression.
In order to ensure their survival here, those at the Divine Power Realm generally have enough time to be resurrected more than twice, which means at most one to two thousand years.
One death allows you to fight again, and two deaths do not disqualify you.
The Demon Race's plan this time must also be aimed at this point.
It's likely that the enemy initially appeared in a normal number of units, constantly engaging in fierce battles with the humans. Only after almost all of the humans had been exhausted did they suddenly launch their attack, catching the humans off guard and causing many to die twice, thus depleting their resurrection attempts.
Upon hearing this, the man replied as Zhu Chihu had guessed, "Basically everyone has died once, some twice already, they can't afford to die again! That's why Brother Yi gave me a large number of points to exchange for the qualification to come to Study Cliff and deliver intelligence."
At this point, the man paused, a strange expression creeping onto his bitter face.
Why?
Because Brother Yi sent him to the Dao Arts Realm!!!
What's the use? They could naturally foresee the situation; the moment the Demon Race race realized their plan, they already knew the outcome.
But it's clear that this is a dead end, and a fait accompli.
It can't be changed!
As a result, Brother Yi had everyone accumulate a large number of points, which he then used to come to Study Cliff to deliver messages.
What's the point? It's just a waste of points.
As expected! Zhu Chihu was not surprised at all; it was an inevitable result. As for the Xia Kingdom, they could only have a huge headache in the face of this situation, and there was absolutely nothing they could do.
Dying once is fine, but those who have died more than twice are simply not allowed to participate. Once they do participate, they will undoubtedly be targeted by the Demon Race race, killed, and completely expelled from the Dao-Seeking Cliff.
For a moment, Zhu Chihu and the others looked extremely grim, forced to watch helplessly as the situation in the Xia Kingdom slowly spiraled into despair. This was truly... truly...
"Did Dad send Uncle?" Zhang Zhuzhu suddenly spoke up from the side. She blinked. The "Brother Yi" the other person mentioned should be her father, Zhang Yi, the son of Zhang Tao.
The little girl wasn't particularly shrewd, but her intuition was surprisingly strong. She scratched her head, looking puzzled, and asked, "Why did Dad send a message here? We can't solve this either!"
In her memory, her father was undoubtedly the kind of person who would never do anything in vain.
Zhu Chihu was stunned. Yes, she knew Zhang Yi. Why would she send someone to the Dao Arts Realm to inform them?
Suddenly, her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but turn to look at Lü Qian. At that moment, Lü Qian's eyes also widened, and she looked at Zhu Chihu as if she had thought of something.
A Su!!!
Yes, yes!
Others may not know that A Su is involved, but as Minister Zhang's son, Zhang Yi must know something about it.
Not only that, Zhang Yi's junior sister also came.
Well, calling her a junior sister is a bit vague. Li Su's teacher, Yi Ren, is also here.
The two immediately became excited. Could Li Su solve this? Very likely!
Even if the Divine Power Realm can't do anything, he might be able to get the news out beforehand. After all, his status at Dao-Seeking Cliff —no, at the Jade Void Palace— is different; he's a direct disciple, not a servant like them.
what to do?
Wait, wait for him to come find us!
Both women took a deep breath at the same time. Although they weren't sure, he was undoubtedly their last hope.
******
"Junior sister, the person has already been sent out. Are you really sure?"
Within the Void Secret Realm, after defeating the Centipede Demon before him, Zhang Yi, the leader of the Xia Kingdom's Divine Power Realm and son of Minister Zhang Yi, spoke uncertainly.
"Yes, I'm sure!"
Zhang Yi clicked his tongue and looked at Yi Ren in disbelief. If it weren't for the fact that her supernatural abilities and personality were exactly the same as the girl he knew, he would have wondered if this woman in front of him was Demon Race.
Is this still the same junior sister who only believed in herself, and who, after that incident, sealed herself away completely, body and soul?
When he talked about his disciples, he was so confident and composed, as if there was nothing he couldn't do.
That requires an immense level of trust.
Zhang Yi had a bit of a headache, but he decided not to think about it anymore. Since his junior sister said so, he figured, "Okay, then so be it!"
Anyway, his father seemed to care a lot about Li Su, and his master also had a smile on his face when he mentioned Li Su, saying that he was the future of the Xia Kingdom.
Let me see what this little guy, whom everyone trusts so much, is capable of!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
This was an incredibly arrogant and triumphant laugh.
The Crocodile Clan appeared, accompanied by the Dragon-Python Clan, the Centipede Demon, the Sunflower Demon, and the Ghost Crow.
Twenty Demon Race Divine Power Realm at the Divine Realm level stood around Zhang Yi and Yi Ren, completely surrounding them.
The day has finally arrived!
"You didn't expect this, did you, human? You're doomed once again! The Dao-Seeking Cliff has completely become the property of our Demon Race, and from this day forward, the entire Earth Immortal Realm Demon Race fall into our hands."
At this moment, smiles appeared on the faces of all the Demon Race, smiles that were ferocious and cruel.
No further action was taken because the outcome had already been determined.
Now, in this Void Secret Realm, only these two humans remain; the rest have been driven out.
Oh, right, there are two more, from the Cai Family. One of them is Cai Hun, but this thing can no longer be considered human. At this moment, he is standing among the Crow Clan, his extremely ugly body deformed, half-human and half-bird, utterly disgusting.
Not only did he side with the Demon Race, but he also directly attacked the people of the Xia Kingdom.
Outside, the nineteen Xia Kingdom Divine Power Realm cultivators, who had died at least once and most had died twice, were biting their lips, filled with Wrath and despair. They knew that if they entered again and died, they would be expelled from here.
Leaving aside other places, the Dao-Seeking Cliff is unique in that it greatly restricts the Demon Race. Despite having nearly twice the number of demons, they still cannot determine the outcome. Unlike other places, most of the land and resources are in their hands.
But today, all of that will become a thing of the past!!!
Looking at the two remaining people, the Crocodile Clan member laughed, "Humans, commit suicide. Continuing is just a pointless struggle."
Quit? They won't give you time to leave in advance. And even if you do quit, so what?
Everyone was killed, leaving them in a predicament of not having enough holding time. The human side's idea of regrouping here was simply a pipe dream! Next, they would continue to consolidate and expand this advantage, constantly accumulating more holding time.
Suicide?
Zhang Yi glanced at Yi Ren and smiled, "What do you mean?"
"There are no Xia Kingdom surrender, only Xia Kingdom who die in battle!" Yi Ren spoke calmly. She wasn't afraid of real death, let alone this feigned death.
"Yi-ge'er, you absolutely have to treat me and my niece to a big meal when we get out of here! We're really missing out!"
A voice rang out; it was Mingyue Li. She was in a sorry state, blood dripping from her fox tail, surrounded by three Demon Race at the Divine Power Realm. Not far from her, her niece, the exquisitely beautiful fox woman, remained calm and composed, her body showing no signs of injury. Surrounding her, however, were ten Demon Race at the Divine Power Realm, all of them wounded, their injuries leaving hollow holes that could not heal or disappear. At this moment, a hint of fear flashed in their eyes, a testament to the demons' strength.
Further away, a black-ringed serpent, accompanied by five Divine Power Realm at the Divine Power Realm, stared intently at the White-Green Snake. " Bai Suqing, White Ancestor is dying. The Black King is about to become the king of our Spirit Snake Clan. Are you really going to side with the human race? The Dao-Seeking Cliff is very important to you, isn't it? If you are killed here, you will be completely banished from this place next time!"
Its body was wounded, as were the five Divine Power Realm it carried; all of them were injured, their bodies bleeding profusely, with terrifying sword patterns flashing on their wounds, which could not be healed.
Bai Suqing's expression was indifferent and unmoved. Its snake scales trembled slightly as it slowly rose, emitting a precious light that was both white and blue.
As she moved, the two fox women also moved, the runes on their tails flashing, foreshadowing destruction.
Yi Ren and Zhang Yi took a breath. There were too many enemies, while they only had five. Even though they were clearly extremely powerful, they were at a disadvantage.
There's no other way, it's the final battle!
Both of them also gathered their own power, with golden light emanating from them and the Great Dao resonating with them. One had Golden Dipper floating above his head, while the other had coins constantly falling around him.
"Hahaha, what a futile effort!"
The Crocodile Clan was filled with pride and satisfaction. This victory would solidify its status within the Crocodile Clan. The Dao-Seeking Cliff was unlike any other place; it was completely different.
With this victory, the Crocodile Clan will be on par with the Crow Clan, and the Crow King will no longer be the sole leader of the Demon Race!
Do you know how long the Crocodile Clan has been preparing for this day?
A full ten years!!
That's right, it wasn't something that happened in a day, but rather a gradual accumulation, starting from a certain day ten years ago.
Ten years ago, there were almost daily battles between the Demon Race and the human race, but ten years later, the Demon Race's Divine Power Realm has not taken any action for several years.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion among the humans outside the Earth Immortal Realm, they have even suppressed their Demon Race nature in recent years, refraining from fighting against humans and giving them the impression that they intend to develop in peace.
It slowly raised its hand and reached out to Zhang Yi, Yi Ren, the two fox women, and the oblivious White-Green Snake.
From this day forward, Dao-Seeking Cliff will become the domain of the Demon Race. Humans will, as always, withdraw from the stage here, just like in other places!
"Die!"
In an instant, nearly sixty Demon Race bodies on the scene began to glow, with Dao patterns flashing, and terrifying auras burst forth, until only the last five human beings remained in the Void Secret Realm.
Buzz!
Just then, very suddenly, extremely suddenly.
Inside the Void Secret Realm, there were over fifty demons inside and over thirty demons outside. A flag appeared above their heads, fluttering gently, and a sound suddenly rang out.
' The Direct Disciple Trial begins; Demon Servants assemble!'
Before the demons could even utter a sound, the one with the light above its head vanished in a flash.
!
In the vast Void Secret Realm, in an instant, only a dozen or so demons remained, both inside and outside the arena.
Instantly, the atmosphere on the field froze. The smug Crocodile Clan's expression froze, and he opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
What's going on???
"Ha!"
Faced with this scene, Yi Ren suddenly laughed, and the fox girl next to Mingyue Li not far away also smiled.
Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment. When he heard Yi Ren's laughter and thought of the people he had sent out, he couldn't help but gasp.
No! No! No! No!
Is this for real?
How could such a thing be possible???
But whatever you did, anyway, nephew, you're awesome!!!
Zhang Yi took a deep breath, snapped his fingers, and said, "Men, even though we don't know what happened, come on, let's gang up on them!!!"
As soon as the words were spoken, twenty-seven human cultivators at the Divine Power Realm stepped forward, including those from the Five Surnames.
Apart from Cai Hun, they were all undoubtedly driven out.
At this moment, everyone stepped forward, rubbing their hands together, and looked at the remaining less than ten Demon Race on the field with extremely unfriendly expressions.
At that moment, everyone was spitting fire and their eyes were gleaming.
To be honest, in battles against Demon Race, it's usually two against one. This is undoubtedly the first time that a human has faced a situation where three against one Demon Race.
Immediately, the remaining less than ten demons—no, there were two more vegetables among them—had pale faces, very pale.
No, no, no.
This shouldn't be happening, this shouldn't be happening!!!
Why? Why?
*******
Let's rewind a little bit, to about a few minutes ago.
Above the Jade Void Palace.
call!
Li Su is still cultivating; he hasn't left, nor has he received any news.
Lying in the Golden Pool, he felt completely languid.
The Green Duckweed Sword Fruit kept slashing inside his body, but... how should I put it?
Human adaptability is truly terrifying.
As the pain gradually increases, reaching about 50% is undoubtedly the most painful part.
However, after it was over, it felt like something had broken off, and the pain was completely gone.
Hmm, it doesn't hurt anymore.
Feeling a slight itch in her throat, Li Su opened her mouth and spat out of the Golden Pool, sending a mouthful of black blood flying out and landing on the ground.
He raised his head, his gaze fixed on the mouthful of black blood on the ground, and thought to himself.
123!
But then the black blood began to move; tentacles grew out, and scriptures appeared— the Supreme Flesh.
It began to actively absorb the extraordinary particles around it, and after a while, the black blood began to glow, gradually becoming more vibrant.
The next moment, the blood trembled slightly, and cyan runes spread all over it. The pool of blood immediately began to vibrate and transformed into a sword in the blink of an eye.
The moment it was formed, it buzzed and began to make a sound!
That is the Numinous Treasure Scripture, the Green Duckweed Sword Path!
Clang!
With a sharp cry, the Blood Sword shot up, its blade flowing with sword intent and its scriptures glowing. Like a child, it rushed in front of Li Su and spun around him. After a while, it whooshed back into Li Su's body.
Seeing this, Li Su sighed deeply and couldn't help but complain.
Am I even human anymore?
The transformation continued, and after breaking through fifty percent, Li Su began to experience a very strange feeling. His body, his flesh and blood, and his soul underwent unpredictable changes. These changes were really hard to describe, as if he had been forged into a divine weapon, a sword.
This change is hard to describe; it's as if one's vision, senses, and hearing have been altered. Using one's eyes, heart, and ears to perceive all things creates a rather wondrous feeling.
Can I kill him? Can I cut him? Can I sever him?
This is the first thought that comes to mind when I see anything.
It's not human thinking, but the thinking of a sword.
Is there a problem?
Li Su lowered her head and pondered for a moment.
Hmm, no!
This is an inevitable outcome of the transformation, but it will not change him; it is merely a change in perception, and the nature of the soul gains another dimension.
He can switch whenever he wants.
For example, when it comes to the Supreme Flesh, the focus is more on life itself, because people are very interested in its structure: how are cells assembled? How does the flesh function? And what are the pathways of nerves?
Uh... the art style seems even weirder now.
It's alright, it's alright.
The impact will be minimal.
This change is not a subtraction, but an addition.
Let me give you an example.
Humans have three souls: Heaven, Earth, and Life. Now he has two more: Blood and Sword.
Yes, this change in perspective is essentially the sudden appearance of two souls, which is very novel and makes him unconsciously focus on the perception of the outside world by these two souls.
You'll get used to it and things will go back to normal.
The transformation continued. As Li Su's soul became primarily focused on the sword spirit, his understanding of the Numinous Treasure Scripture became increasingly clear. His flesh, bones, and muscles became more and more in sync, and he began to actively approach the sword, transforming into the sword and becoming the sword.
Hmm, looking for a worthy opponent...
As the second phase of the process neared completion, with progress reaching 90%, Li Su couldn't help but blink.
Swordsmanship, knife-wielding, and spear-wielding are, in essence, the ways of combat.
When you've mastered it, you'll naturally have the thought, "Hmm, let's find an opponent and exchange a couple of blows, see how it feels."
Demon Race at the Dao Arts Realm? Five Surnames?
Li Su's eyes flickered, but he quickly shook his head. It was meaningless; too weak. It was no different from playing a game and going berserk.
As for the Divine Power Realm?
What a joke! Li Su is looking for opponents she can fight, not battles where she gets fought.
Who would go looking for trouble?
Even if his thinking is somewhat similar to that of a swordsman right now, he is still himself and would never do such a messed-up thing.
'Want to give it a try?'
A shadow appeared, seemingly able to sense Li Su's thoughts.
"There are no suitable opponents!"
Li Su thought for a moment and then answered.
'some.'
"Oh? What do you mean!"
Everything here is prepared for you—the right opponents, the right battles, without a doubt, whatever you desire!
Li Su's eyes lit up immediately; this was excellent.
To be honest, he really wanted to kill someone at that moment. It wasn't just because he had transformed into a sword; he also wanted to test his own strength. He felt he had made good progress, and with the second transformation nearing completion, he should undoubtedly break through the ceiling of the Dao Arts Realm once again. And most importantly, cultivation was painful! Although the improvement brought him joy, it also accumulated a lot of negative emotions.
With a flick of his wrist, hundreds of illusory figures appeared before Li Su in an instant.
'These are all Divine Power Realm currently existing in the Jade Void Palace; you can choose any of them as your opponent.'
"Are there that many?" Li Su was surprised; the Divine Power Realm in the illusory figure were already over ninety.
There were fewer than thirty humans among them; the rest were all demons.
The ratio difference is so big???
While the number isn't as astonishing as the proportion of those in the Dao Arts Realm, the Divine Power Realm is no joke. Their magical power increases infinitely, and even the simplest divine power possesses immense might. Even if there's a difference, it's like comparing a lion to a jackal—they can still crush them. But once the numbers exceed a certain level, even a lion won't be able to withstand it.
"Can I choose any of these opponents?"
Li Su blinked. Although she didn't know the situation on the side of the Divine Power Realm, with so many Demon Race, it probably wasn't good.
'Can!'
"Then I want to challenge them all. Hmm, first one-on-one, then group fights. Can we gather them all together at once?" Li Su thought for a moment, then raised his hand and slapped away about eighty of them with one slap.
"No problem, I'll go prepare now. It will begin after you complete your Dao Transformation."
"Yes, no problem!"
Li Su nodded, happily continuing her transformation. Taking away so many at once should make things much easier for the humans in the Divine Power Realm!
Ten years of hard work, all for nothing in a single day!
I'm so sorry, so incredibly sorry. The most tragic thing in the world isn't being unable to write, but rather writing something that doesn't feel right, so you delete it all and start over. It's 8 PM, I'm really sorry, brothers!!!
