The Great Battle Begins

It leaped and darted about in the space surrounding North Spring Mountain, its eyes fixed intently, as if it were about to rush in at any moment.

"So they realized it was me fishing in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains earlier?"

Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow, raised his left hand, and Heavenly Fishing Empowerment. A Dao Bait condensed in the air, and a faint fragrance wafted out.

Many animals in North Spring Mountain couldn't help but stir. Gu Yuanqing had an idea and used Spatial Art to isolate them, allowing the fragrance to drift only out of the mountain.

The Strange Beast's eyes immediately lit up, and it looked like it was drooling with desire.

Gu Yuanqing looked at it with a smile, her eyes conveying the message: "Go ahead and try if you dare!"

The Strange Beast kept swallowing, its eyes gleaming with predatory intent, eager to pounce, before charging headlong towards North Spring Mountain.

Gu Yuanqing watched calmly, without making a move.

Sure enough, just as they were about to arrive, the Strange Beast suddenly vanished, then reappeared hundreds of miles away, baring its teeth at Gu Yuanqing before disappearing again.

Gu Yuanqing smiled silently.

"This guy is just putting on an act, like last time."

"It really has the ability to hold back. I've heard that it has dared to break into even the major Royal Race and the Demonic Dragon Mountain multiple times, but it has no desire to enter my Mountain at all. Its precognitive abilities are truly extraordinary."

Gu Yuanqing was somewhat tempted. Once his cultivation level was higher, he would definitely find a way to capture and tame it.

Although it's not very useful in North Spring Mountain, if one day we need to leave the mountain, we can take this Strange Beast with us, and its Spirituality will allow us to avoid many dangerous places.

However, given this guy's alertness, catching him will probably be quite difficult.

There was silence from the direction of the Human Race for quite some time.

But it's not surprising, after all, the Human Race is one of the major powers on the Dragon Demon Continent. After years of preparation, even though the Demon Race race is powerful, it would be difficult to wipe them out in an instant.

The major Royal Race and Demonic Dragon Mountain maintained a balance of power, while Yan Zongsheng was comparable to these Great Demon kings, and with the help of the Human Race's formation, he was slightly stronger due to his home advantage.

If the Five Great Demon Kings were to work together, the Human Race might not be able to hold out for long. However, the Demon Race itself is divided and wary of one another.

They also worried that Yan Zongsheng, in his desperate situation, might drag one or two Great Demon down with him.

Ao Guang, Tiger Lord, and the others temporarily retreated and arrived at the exit of the Underground Cave, their expressions solemn.

The Demonic Qi surged into the sky, so dense it was suffocating.

Tiger Lord said in a deep voice, "Ape King, stop fooling around, kill him now."

In a huge pit with a diameter of over a hundred feet, descending a hundred feet, a bright and open space suddenly appears, like another Heaven and Earth.

The giant ape, clad in armor and wielding a long staff, used its agility to surround two Devil Beast at the third stage of the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change Realm, while several other Devil Beast had already perished under its staff.

Upon hearing Tiger Lord's words, it suddenly swung its staff, and countless staff shadows fell from the sky. The two Devil Beast, both at the third Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change, suddenly stood still, unable to move.

A moment later, their entire bodies turned to dust and scattered in the wind. It seemed that Demonic Qi on their bodies had been completely obliterated by this blow.

The Demon Ape leaped out of the Underground Cave, club in hand, and shook its head, scoffing, "Boring. Just a bunch of idiots with slightly stronger Physical Body. Besides being able to take a beating, they're useless."

Su Yue'e said, "You are the Demon King. How many beings in the world can withstand a blow from your staff? If these Devil Beast were to regain their intelligence, my Demon Race would have no place to stand on the Dragon Demon Continent."

The Demon Ape grinned. "That's true, Lady Su's words are much more pleasant to hear."

The Demon Phoenix gently flapped its wings, each wisp of Flame landing precisely on the escaped Devil Beast, igniting them. It yawned and said, "Everyone, let's seal this exit first. I'm exhausted."

Tiger Lord's eyes flashed with a sinister light as he surveyed the cave's interior and exterior. He said in a deep voice, "The original Formation has lost Empowerment Law Power. Under the impact of the Devil Beast, many of the Array Patterns have been worn away, and most of the Array Base Law Artifact have also been damaged. It will probably take some effort to fix it."

Su Yue'e said softly, "I'm very curious, did the Human Race retreat because they were truly unable to resist, or was it intentional?"

The region east of the Eastern Dawn Great Chasm.

The Seven Great Heavenly Kings of the Human Race gathered together.

Yan Zongsheng sat at the head of the table, coughed twice, and a look of pain flashed across his face.

Yan Zongsheng waved his hand and said, "It's alright. I was struck by Tiger Lord's palm and am now entangled in Tiger Baleful Intent's Fury. It will only take half a day to eliminate it. King Lei, how are you now?"

The burly man second from the right, pale-faced, forced a smile and said, "It will probably take more than ten days to recover. These Great Demon kings are indeed powerful; I couldn't even withstand a single move."

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent. Today's battle had made the difference in strength between the Human Race and Demon Race crystal clear.

The Four Great Royal Races have not made a move for many years. Their Heavenly King are all experts among the Human Race's Celestial Person beings. Even the lowest-ranked King Ji, although only at the Second Heavenly Human Tribulation, believes that he can fight against Great Demon at the Third Heavenly Human Tribulation by relying on Secret Method.

Today, even with the help of the Formation, apart from Yan Zongsheng, no one dares to say that they can fight against the Great Demon kings alone.

"The Four Great Royal Races are renowned throughout the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. Ao Guang is also at the Heavenly Transformation Peak. You should not underestimate yourselves. In terms of age, these Demon King are all over a thousand years old. In this Dragon Demon Realm, our Human Race is already weak. Today, we have succeeded in forcing the Demon Race to retreat temporarily." Yan Zongsheng said with a smile.

"Indeed, Fellow Cultivator cultivators, now that we have abandoned the Underground Cave, there is no turning back. This matter concerns the safety of the entire Human Race, and the entire Human Race is watching us. We, the Heavenly King, must not lose our composure," the man at the head of the left said in a deep voice.

"Heavenly King Jin is right. With a major event imminent, only by doing what we should do can we seize the opportunity for victory in this critical situation," Yan Zongsheng echoed, then asked the third man in Blue Robe on the left, "Master Zhao, how much more is needed for the Array Tool, and how much time will it take?"

Xing Shizhao said, "Only two items remain. It will take at least two months, and with the final refining and array setup, it will take a total of three months."

The man at the head of the right-hand side smiled bitterly, "It's a pity, there are only three months left. If our Underground Cave defense line could hold out for a few more months, we wouldn't be in such a passive position."

"King Chen, please don't blame yourself. It's all the will of Heaven. Our Human Race has survived in this realm for so many years. How could we not last a mere three months? What do you all say?" Yan Zongsheng laughed loudly.

Everyone smiled.

But they all knew that the first three months were nothing to worry about; the real difficulties would come after March!

Gu Yuanqing was unaware of the situation between the human and demon races, but he anticipated that the days to come would not be peaceful.

Sure enough, in the days that followed, it seemed that the aura of a battle between Celestial Person could be heard every day.

Occasionally, there are even battle fluctuations approaching the Yin-Yang Realm; it can be said that there is a major battle every three days and a minor battle every day.

Gu Yuanqing gradually got used to it. After staring at it for two days, he lost interest and simply disappeared into the Void North Spring Mountain. Once inside the Cultivation World, he resumed his cultivation.

Time flies, and more than three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Yuanqing felt that the Dao Resonance he had obtained from his Dao Soul had finally been completely transformed into his own Dao cultivation. Gradually, he had the thought of returning to the Ancient Realm to take another look, but the situation in the Demon Realm had never been stable, so he dared not leave without permission.

One day, he felt the entire Demon Realm tremble twice, and the roar of Dragon Roar resounded throughout the Heaven and Earth.

At the Heavenly Transformation Peak, the aura of Half-step Yin-Yang was unleashed, shaking the entire Dragon Demon Realm.

Several more Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change erupted simultaneously, along with dozens of auras above the Heavenly Human Realm.

Gu Yuanqing knew that the real war between Human Race and Demon Race had finally begun.

The main character didn't participate much in this battle, so I'll just give a brief description.
