Xieju's Resolve
The massacre of the Demon Race Xieju continues.
Xingtian watched from within the alternate dimension created by Feng Jiu.
Countless Demon Race transformed into nourishment for the blood mist, causing the crimson silk covering the Echo of Life to thicken and thicken.
And it's getting bigger and bigger!
It is evident that less than one percent of the Echo of Life remain exposed to the outside world.
With just a little more effort, the Xieju will win.
Seeing this, Peng Tianlin was extremely anxious.
Because the Xieju's movements were too fast, exceeding the speed at which he could fuse the power of a group of Supreme Powerhouse Power of Principle.
If this continues, the Xieju will surely be the first to completely isolate the Echo of Life.
At this moment, Echo of Life seemed to sense its own situation as well.
It began to struggle desperately.
This undoubtedly increases the difficulty for the Xieju.
This forced him to continue slaughtering the Demon Race below.
According to Xingtian's estimation, the number of Demon Race slaughtered by the Xieju was now equal to the number previously lost.
Won't Xieju's actions provoke discontent from other powerful Demon Race?
Thinking of this, Xingtian couldn't help but look at Feng Jiu had already transformed into human form beside him.
However, there was not a trace of wavering on Feng Jiu's face.
Instead, he was very serious, yet his eyes gleamed with a glimmer of hope.
He knows!
From Feng Jiu's face, Xingtian understood that he was fully aware of Xieju's actions.
But why is that?
Was such a large number of Demon Race sacrificed just to stop Peng Tianlin from launching an attack?
Doesn't this sound a bit like buying a plant and returning a pearl?
Feng Jiu naturally felt Xingtian's gaze as well.
"Just you wait! I'm no Xieju!"
"What?"
Xingtian was confused by Feng Jiu's words.
But Feng Jiu was unwilling to continue explaining.
Instead, they shifted the topic to other things.
"It was Father who sent me to protect you! After all, the Great Sage's Essence Blood hasn't been given to you yet, and you truly did my Phoenix Clan a great favor! You shouldn't die in this war!"
From Feng Jiu's words, Xingtian sensed the gratitude from the Phoenix Clan.
But at the same time, it also carries a different meaning.
Shouldn't he have died on the battlefield?
In other words, aside from themselves, the rest of the army should have died in this war?
They were just slaughtered by Xieju like that?
What does this mean? Was it planned?
Xingtian, who was still puzzled, did not ask any questions, but instead focused his attention on Xieju again.
Although the distance was vast, Xingtian could still discern something different in the eyes of the slaughtering Xieju.
Compared to her previous sinister charm.
At this moment, a struggle, along with a hint of reluctance, appeared in the eyes of the Xieju!
Consequently, the pace of slaughtering the Demon Race slowed down considerably.
"Hey! Who says my Demon Race is heartless!"
Feng Jiu sigh drew Xingtian's attention back.
"Get ready! The Xieju failed! The Great Sage is about to descend! In this situation, if a real fight breaks out, I can't protect you. You can only pray for good luck!"
Upon hearing Feng Jiu's words, Xingtian could no longer suppress his doubts.
"Feng Jiu, what exactly is going on?"
"Heh, this is a setup! A setup orchestrated by Xieju. The purpose of this war has never been how many Human Clan we kill, but rather the Echo of Life!"
"Echo of Life?"
"That's right!"
Feng Jiu nodded, looking at the Xieju outside with a serious expression.
"Not only does Xieju want to prevent Peng Tianlin from controlling the Echo of Life, he also wants to make the Echo of Life leave the Great Sage of Longevity forever!"
"What? How is that possible?"
"Indeed, other Supreme Powerhouse simply couldn't do it! But the Xieju is different. With the support of the Blood Mist Grand Formation, although the chances are slim, there is still one!"
As long as the Blood Mist Grand Formation can completely envelop the Echo of Life, it will not only prevent Peng Tianlin from using it, but also temporarily block the Great Sage of Longevity from perceiving it!
"The Great Sage of Longevity of Immortality, who has lost his connection to it, will surely come, and my father will step in to stop him!"
Having said that, Feng Jiu let out a long breath and continued.
"At this moment, countless Supreme Powerhouse Demon Race are hiding in the void, all waiting for the outcome of the Xieju."
Once we can completely envelop the Echo of Life, we will work together to move this thing to the rear of the army.
At that time, the Great Sage of Longevity will be left with nothing but helpless stares!
After hearing Feng Jiu's words, Xingtian finally understood the cause and effect.
Countless Demon Race sacrificed themselves in exchange for the Great Sage of the Human Clan losing a Great Sage treasure.
Is it worth it?
Absolutely worth it!
Without the Great Sage's treasure, the Great Sage of Longevity's strength will instantly decrease by 10%.
This means that the balance of power has shifted between the Great Sage of the human and demon races.
To put it bluntly, the war between the two races is fundamentally a war between Great Sage.
The strength of the Great Sage will determine the ultimate fate of both races.
The reason why the Great Sage rarely takes action is precisely because of the balance of power between the Great Sage of the two races.
Furthermore, it's the same principle as playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).
Nobody throws bombs right away unless they're armed with a whole bunch of bombs!
The original plan of the Demon Race's higher-ups was to have the Xieju strengthen the Blood Mist Grand Formation as much as possible, even at the cost of using their own race's creatures.
And that's what the Xieju thought too.
But in the end, his resolve wavered.
He felt pity for the Demon Race below.
Seeing this, Feng Jiu understood that the plan had failed.
At times like these, compassion is the worst thing to do.
But what right does he have to criticize the Xieju?
Just like he said, who says my Demon Race is heartless!
At this moment, all the Supreme Powerhouse Demon Race in the void were poised to strike.
Meanwhile, the Xieju outside had stopped their massacre of the Demon Race.
An unprecedented determination appeared in his eyes.
"Drink!"
With a loud Xieju, the giant beast's body suddenly swelled up.
It quickly became like a planet.
This scene made Peng Tianlin, who was in the process of fusing with the Power of Principle, tremble, and his fusion of the Principle paused briefly.
But the Xieju's movements did not diminish at all.
There was a loud 'boom'.
The swarming, spherical body of the Xieju suddenly exploded.
A blood-red sphere was injected directly into the blood mist.
This further intensified the blood mist's suppression of the Echo of Life, completely enveloping it almost instantly.
However, the price was enormous.
The Demon Race sacrificed one of its Top-Tier Supreme Powerhouse.
At this Xieju, only a soul remained of the serpent above the void, its expression resolute.
"Everyone! It seems our original plan won't work; the Echo of Life is stronger than we imagined!"
At this point, Xieju's spirit suddenly revealed a slight smile.
"The day the Demon Race ascends to the throne, don't forget me Xieju!"
After he finished speaking, three huge golden lotus flowers suddenly burst forth above the Xieju's soul.
These are the Three Flowers Atop the Head, representing the Power of Principle.
Carrying the Three Flowers Atop the Head, the Xieju Soul Body charged headlong into the Blood Mist Grand Formation.
With the support of the soul power and the Power of Principle of the Xieju, the blood mist, which resembled a blood-red ribbon, suddenly erupted with an unprecedented aura.
At the same time, a loud shout rang out.
"Oh no, he's going to taint the Echo of Life!"
Peng Tianlin had not yet completed the fusion of the Principle, didn't care about anything else and hurriedly flew forward to stop them.
But it was all too late.
A massive Blood Mist Grand Formation blocked him from entering.
There's absolutely nothing we can do except watch!
