In that instant.
The old Dao Lord's and Awakened Spirit, Illuminating Essence Dao Lord's voices, both steeped in extreme fury, nearly overlapped as they erupted with savage force!
As though some extraordinary tacit understanding still existed between them.
And in the next moment.
As though that extraordinary understanding continued still.
The two of them simultaneously ceased the outpouring and collision of the surging mana torrents that had been locked against each other.
The instant they completely separated.
The anger on their faces receded slightly.
Yet both faced Liu Dongqing, adopting stances of utmost vigilance.
While Liu Dongqing regarded these two as mortal enemies in the struggle of the Dao.
How could they not likewise regard Liu Dongqing as the most crucial opponent of their lives, one who demanded the gravest attention!
In the next moment.
The old Dao Lord, who was likewise deeply versed in the Seven Emotions Enter the Flame Path, spoke without hesitation, unleashing his own Resplendent Demonic Voice.
"Do not use such grand righteousness to crush us!"
"Nor need you pin the label of obstructing the Human Race's revival upon us!"
"Liu Dongqing!"
"Speaking fairly."
"It is true that you raised the banner against the Demon Race, and it is true that the Human Race's glorious revival today owes greatly to your efforts."
"However."
"Likewise, ever since the killing tribulation began these past years."
"Have there truly been few Human Race cultivators who fell into decline and perished at your hands?"
"The struggle for supremacy on the Great Dao is the main theme for all living beings in an era. Whether the Demon Race exists or not, it has always been so!"
"Moreover."
"I can fight the Demon Race as well!"
"I can also contribute to the Human Race's revival!"
"So long as I finish this battle!"
