All Alone

The Evil Corpse could clearly sense the moment it activated the Flame Golden Lotus.

My body was enveloped by a powerful spatial force, then it felt as if I was being stuffed into a narrow pipe, and everything went dark.

The space inside that pipe was truly the narrowest I'd ever seen.

The crowd was so dense that the Evil Corpse once thought even Xingtian True Body would collapse.

I don't know how much time passed.

The oppressive feeling suddenly disappeared, and light returned to the Evil Corpse's eyes.

Looking around, the surrounding environment was still in space.

Furthermore, there are numerous planets within the visible range.

It seems they have indeed left the Human-Demon Battlefield, but whether they have reached the rear of the Human Clan remains to be verified.

"Hmph! Seventh-Level Immortal Emperor? I really don't know what Lady Feng Jiu saw in you that made her agree to let you join!"

As the sound entered my ears.

The Evil Corpse then realized that it was not alone.

The other Demon Race who were in the main hall had all gathered here.

It seems that the Flame Golden Lotus provided by the Great Sage possesses some kind of fixed-point teleportation function.

At the same time, he also noticed that he should be the last to arrive.

Therefore, the other hundreds of Demon Race were all watching him.

And the comment I heard was also very unfriendly.

"Ugh! Forget it! I can't be bothered arguing with you!"

At this moment, the Evil Corpse finally saw clearly who had spoken; it was actually a Huodou.

This guy looks almost exactly like a dog.

Its body was covered in black fur, which shimmered with an eerie luster against the backdrop of the universe.

According to legend, the Huodou is also known as the Fire Dog. They never devour flesh and blood, but instead feed on fire.

Even their excrement was flaming.

However, based on the observations of the Evil Corpse over the years, it has been discovered that the Huodou of this world are different from those in the myths of the previous life.

It's true that the Huodou mythical creature) likes fire, but to say that it feeds on flames is a bit of an exaggeration.

These creatures do indeed possess the ability to devour flames, but they are not averse to blood.

As for excrement.

The Evil Corpse isn't so perverse as to specifically observe this.

The Huodou in front of them then turned around and addressed the other Demon Race:

"Gentlemen, we are currently in the rear of the Human Clan, facing numerous dangers. Therefore, why don't we join forces! Let's first find a way to reach the location of the Eternal Flame, and then each of us can fight for it based on our own abilities!"

These words immediately garnered a response from many Demon Race.

However, none of these responders were particularly strong.

Most of them are at the seventh or Eighth-Level Immortal Emperor, with very few at the Ninth Layer.

Huodou's intention in gathering everyone was to leverage the power of those Ninth-Level Immortal Emperors.

Seeing that most of the Ninth-Level Immortal Emperor remained unmoved, he had no choice but to speak again.

"Everyone, what about you? Want to join?"

"Roll!"

With a loud shout, strange smiles appeared on the faces of the other Ninth-Level Immortal Emperor who were watching the spectacle.

"Who gave you the audacity to order the Ninth-Level Immortal Emperor?"

"I don't..."

"Bang!"

The Evil Corpse recognized the sound immediately; it was the sound of a skull being crushed.

On the battlefield, he often used this method of killing the enemy.

And right now, the Huodou has also lost its life in this way.

At the same time, his body was also devoured in a few bites by the Ninth-Level Immortal Emperor who made the move.

"Forehead!"

With a loud burp, the Ninth-Level Immortal Emperor, whose mouth was still stained with blood, finally turned his gaze to the numerous Seventh and Eighth-Level Immortal Emperor.

Only then did these seventh and eighth level Immortal Emperor realize that something was amiss.

Those Ninth-Level Immortal Emperor had actually stood together without anyone noticing.

But these people stood on the opposite side.

"The conceited fool is finally gone, so let me say a few words!"

The sight of Huodou's previous death was still vivid in their minds, so these seventh and eighth level Immortal Emperor dared not utter a word and could only listen obediently.

"We can accept you, but you must demonstrate your value! In the event of a conflict with the Human Clan, you will be at the forefront, holding Human Clan off if necessary to buy us time to escape! Once we reach the location of the Eternal Flame, you will all wait on the perimeter to prevent Human Clan from entering and disrupting our acquisition of the Eternal Flame!"

Upon hearing this, someone among the seventh or eighth level Immortal Emperor immediately erupted in protest.

"Ridiculous! Going there will bring us no benefit whatsoever. In that case, why should we join you?"

"Benefit?"

"Forehead!"

The figure of the Ninth-Level Immortal Emperor vanished instantly, and when it reappeared, the person who had spoken earlier was already being choked by him.

The Ninth-Level Immortal Emperor's ferocious face drew closer and closer to the person in his hand, and the strength in his hand grew stronger and stronger.

"Isn't traveling with the Ninth-Level Immortal Emperor an immense advantage? Otherwise, do you piece of trash even think you could live to see the Eternal Flame?"

"Card!"

Another Demon Race has followed in the footsteps of the previous Huodou!

"Alright, I've made myself clear! It's your turn to make a decision! You have three breaths to decide!"

Three breaths!

For ordinary people, it might just happen in the blink of an eye.

But for these Demon Race, whose minimum rank is Seventh-Level Immortal Emperor, it is enough.

When the three breaths are up...

All the Ninth-Level Immortal Emperor, along with those who had joined the seventh and eighth-level Immortal Emperor, vanished instantly.

Only a few scattered people remained.

And the Evil Corpse was among them.

Of course, he was not averse to the Evil Corpse that the Ninth-Level Immortal Emperor had mentioned earlier.

He felt that what the Demon Race said was very true and realistic.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

To put it bluntly, these seventh and eighth level Immortal Emperor are just cannon fodder in this mission.

The Great Sage's Essence Blood are best left unsaid; preserving one's life is the most important thing.

Unfortunately, too few people understand this principle.

Everyone involved in this mission was a gambler.

They're gambling!

Using one's own life as a bargaining chip to gamble on an infinitely slim chance.

Almost everyone has a luck mentality. What if the bet is right?

However, the Evil Corpse was an exception among these people, although he was also very envious of the Great Sage's Essence Blood.

But when I learned that so many people were involved, I decisively gave up my obsession.

Are you kidding me? How could a mere Seventh-Level Immortal Emperor possibly obtain the Eternal Flame from a group of Ninth-Level Immortal Emperor?

He has other purposes for this trip!

Or perhaps, the Original Self assigned him other tasks.

That's why he didn't follow those Ninth-Level Immortal Emperors, but chose to stay!

The remaining Demon Race quickly gathered together, but none of them paid any attention to the Evil Corpse.

It's obvious that the Evil Corpse's strength is too low, only at the initial seventh level. The weakest of the remaining people are at the peak of the seventh level, so why would they even look at him?

As these people left in groups, only the Evil Corpse remained alone in the same spot.

Using his Divine Sense to scan the area, he found no Demon Race.

The Evil Corpse finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xingtian True Body trembled violently, and the dense Yao Qi surrounding his body was instantly absorbed into his body.

At the same time, a uniquely human aura began to emanate from Xingtian's body.
