Humans and Demons Face Off
The Human Race's decision to abandon the Underground Cave was so decisive and swift that the Demon Race was caught off guard.
No Demon Race could have predicted this in advance.
The existence of the Underground Cave has had the greatest impact on the Human Race.
This realm originally belonged to the Demon Race, Demon Race strength far surpassed that of the Human Race. The reason the Human Race was allowed to exist was to suppress the Underground Cave on their behalf.
For this reason, conflicts between humans and demons are basically between Human Race and ordinary Demon Race. Only when the strength of Human Race is about to surpass a certain level will the Royal Race join in.
This way, the fundamental structure won't be affected, and the Human Race can be prevented from becoming too powerful.
In other words, the fundamental reason why Human Race exists in this world is to suppress the Underground Cave. Once this responsibility is abandoned, there is no reason for humanity to exist.
The Eastern Dawn Great Chasm.
The two sides are ten miles apart.
The Abyss is bottomless, as if it had divided this place into two continents.
The eastern part of this Abyss was originally the ancestral home of the Human Race that came to this world. Through the efforts of countless ancestors who took on the responsibility of guarding the Underground Cave, the territory developed into what it was before.
Now that the Human Race has retreated to the Eastern Dawn Great Chasm, it also means that the Human Lands, and tens of thousands of years of effort have been destroyed in an instant.
At this moment, a major battle temporarily ceased.
The human and demon races stood on opposite sides.
Of the seven Human Race Heavenly King, six stood here.
In addition, there are sixteen Celestial Person from various Lineage and Kingdom, and more than three hundred Void Heaven Realm, all of whom have revealed their trump cards to the world.
Moreover, the area east of the Heavenly Chasm barrier can be considered the Human Race's Human Race and last resort. Over tens of thousands of years, it has been developed and equipped with countless Grand Formation.
It was precisely because of this that they were able to keep the Five Great Royal Clans at bay, even when they came together, from entering Heavenly Chasm insurmountable barrier.
However, three of the six Human Race Heavenly King were injured.
The remaining Human Race Celestial Person also seriously injured to varying degrees. One of Celestial Person perished. If it weren't for the Grand Formation and Yan Zongsheng displaying his Half-step Yin-Yang strength, the casualties would have been even greater.
On the Demon Race side, Ao Guang, Tiger Lord, and Fox King Su Yue'e stood several miles apart in the Void, while the Demon Phoenix and Demon Ape Clan entered the Underground Cave to suppress the Devil Beast.
Behind him stood a forest of Great Demon, three times the size of the Human Race in terms of their Celestial Person level, not to mention the Void Heaven Great Demon, a dark and imposing mass.
This is the Demon Race of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. They came out hastily, but still have countless experts, and many Great Demon guard their territory.
"Yan Zongsheng, how dare you Human Race do this? Sending Celestial Person to suppress the Underground Cave now is the only way to survive. Otherwise, there is no reason for the Human Race to exist!" Ao Guang roared.
Yan Zongsheng, dressed in purple robes with flowing white hair, stood at the forefront and said calmly, "Our Human Race has guarded the Underground Cave for over eight thousand years, and countless Human Race ancestors have perished here. This time, the Underground Cave uprising has escalated, forcing several of our Human Race Heavenly King to remain stationed there. Yet you Demon Race races have taken the opportunity to attack and kill countless of our Human Race. The Demon Race has broken its promise, and our withdrawal from the Underground Cave was merely a helpless act of self-preservation."
Ao Guang's body swayed, stirring up countless clouds and winds. His voice was deep and filled with anger. "Nonsense! Those who have entanglements with the Human Race are merely a few minor clans. None of my major Royal Race have participated. The Underground Cave Demon concern the entire Dragon Demon Realm. Does the Human Race intend to destroy this entire realm with this action?"
Yan Zongsheng said calmly, "The Demon Race race is far more powerful than our Human Race. What is it of them to guard a mere Underground Cave? Since our Human Race has abandoned the Underground Cave and retreated to Dongli, giving up the region west of the Eastern Dawn Great Chasm natural barrier is not considered a breach of promise."
Tiger Lord stared coldly ahead and said, "Brother Ao, why waste words with him? Yan Zongsheng, I will only ask one question: are the Human Race willing to continue serving as garrison commanders?"
Yan Zongsheng sighed softly, "The Human Race is weak and truly unable to guard the Underground Cave any longer. We can only hope to find peace and recuperation in this land of Dongli."
"Then there's nothing more to say! You should all prepare for the extermination of your clan." Tiger Lord's tone was calm, but his words were filled with murderous intent.
"I do not wish for this, but if the Demon Race insists on starting a war between the two races, even if I die, I believe I can drag one or two Demon King down with me to the Yellow Springs." Yan Zongsheng smiled. Having touched the limit of the Yin-Yang Realm hundreds of years ago, and with the help of the Human Race Grand Array, he indeed had this ability.
The reason the Demon Race are standing there talking is because they couldn't defeat him in the previous battle.
Ao Guang's eyes revealed a look of apprehension. After the battle with Gu Yuanqing, it no longer looked down on the Human Race as it had before.
Three Thousand Li away from here.
Dense Demonic Qi surged into the sky, and countless Devil Beast swarmed out.
The Demon Phoenix reverted to its original form, and with a flap of its wings, red and black Flame rained down, turning large numbers of Devil Beast to ashes.
Further ahead, a hundred-zhang-tall Demon Ape, its entire body engulfed in Demonic Flame, wielded its giant club, beating two Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change and three Two Tribulations of Heavenly Change level Devil Beast until they could not raise their heads.
It seemed to be in the heat of battle, and when it attacked, it did not strike its vital points, but instead engaged in head-on collisions everywhere.
On the outer perimeter, members of the Demon Ape and Demon Phoenix clans, along with their vassal clans, hunted down any escaped Devil Beast.
Even so, many escaped, especially during the initial outbreak. Caught off guard, many fled, leaving behind a sky full of Devil Beast amidst the dark clouds.
"Ape King, stop playing around. There are countless Devil Beast in the Underground Cave, and even those at the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change are probably not few. If they sense the aura here and rush over together, it will be troublesome." The Demon Phoenix looked down and reminded her helplessly. At this moment, her eyes were no longer as innocent as before.
The Underground Cave is no ordinary place. In the memories she inherited, there are scenes from thousands of years ago, when countless people, both Human Race and Demon Race, died or were injured on that day.
The Demon Ape King cackled, "Don't panic, they're just a bunch of fools. Even if a few more come, it'll just be a few more blows!"
This side of North Spring Mountain.
The celestial Devil Beast scattered and pounced upon all living beings.
The Hundred Thousand Great Mountains were thrown into chaos.
Those Demon Race with deep roots guessed who this was and issued orders to gather their tribes.
These Devil Beast are fearless and, stimulated by the dense Demonic Qi of the Underground Cave, their Physical Body are incredibly strong, like refined steel, and their bodies are covered with Demonic Flame formed from their Qi and Blood. With this power, they can fly through the air.
Ordinary Demon Art cannot even break through his Physical Body.
In a short time, countless Demon Beast and Demon Race perished in their mouths. As they devoured flesh and blood, their aura seemed to immediately become stronger, and they became even more frenzied after being stained with flesh and blood.
On the territory of the Iron Eater Tribe, the colossal Iron Eater Giant Beast roared to the sky.
Under the massive sonic attack, large numbers of Devil Beast fell to the ground, creating deep craters. They would get up in a few moments, stagger a few steps, shake their heads, and charge again.
Four more attacked from North Spring Mountain.
Gu Yuanqing counted on his fingers, and three of them turned to Dust, while he captured one.
This five-zhang-tall Devil Beast resembled Rat Beast, except that it had sharp claws and teeth, fur like steel needles, and eyes that glowed red.
Upon probing with Divine Sense, it was discovered that his Physical Body was filled with Demonic Qi that had materialized, as if his entire body was in a semi-energized state!
