The Descent of Two Great Sages
No one present expected that the Xieju would act so recklessly.
Incredibly, the instant he realized he couldn't complete the plan, he burned everything he possessed, merging it into the Blood Mist Grand Formation.
To taint the Echo of Life.
None of the Supreme Powerhouse Demon Race have shown themselves.
Because of what the Xieju did, it didn't matter to them whether they showed up or not.
Upon seeing this, Peng Tianlin's body trembled violently, and he returned the Power of Principle he had injected into it.
The Blood Mist Grand Formation had completely enveloped the Echo of Life.
No amount of Power of Principle could be infused into him anymore.
Everyone present could only watch helplessly.
However, the void above seemed to emanate a subtle pressure.
That pressure also contained boundless Sage's Will.
It seems that a Great Sage wanted to descend, but encountered obstacles.
It must be the Great Sage of Longevity.
They should have been intercepted by Phoenix Ancestor at that moment.
As for the other Great Sage, their attention was actually focused on the battlefield at this moment.
But no one will show up.
They were simply keeping a watchful eye on each other in secret.
After all, the strength of humans and demons at the Great Sage level is basically equal now, so even if they all show themselves, the situation will most likely remain even.
In the midst of conflict, no one has the energy to care about the Echo of Life.
Since that's the case, we might as well entrust everything to the Great Sage of Longevity.
As long as he can overcome Phoenix Ancestor's obstruction, there is still hope for Echo of Life.
No one could have imagined that the determination of the Xieju to corrupt the Echo of Life would be so great.
He not only poured his entire cultivation and physical strength into it.
To prevent the Great Sage from changing the course of the battle at any moment, they were even willing to forgo their soul power and the Power of Principle.
With the addition of these elements, the blood mist's contamination of the Echo of Life instantly took effect.
The pressure from above also suddenly decreased.
Because the Great Sage of Longevity understood that he had lost.
Even if they were to arrive on the battlefield now, it wouldn't change the fact that Echo of Life has been rendered useless.
Peng Tianlin looked at the Xieju Soul Body, which had become extremely dim within the blood mist.
His eyes were full of complex emotions.
"Why bother? Why not utilize the other Demon Race? You should be able to use any of the Demon Race on this battlefield at will!"
I don't know if I'm asking myself or the Xieju.
But the Xieju in the blood mist revealed a bright smile.
"Peng Tianlin, I heard that you, with the strength of Ninth-Level Immortal Emperor, withstood a blow from one of the Supreme Powerhouse warriors of my Demon Race to protect the Human Clan! What was your motivation?"
"To protect our compatriots!"
Xieju's words evoked memories for many people present.
They thought of Peng Tianlin's battle that made him famous.
To protect Human Clan, he used his Peak of the Ninth Layer strength to confront the Supreme Powerhouse.
Although he nearly died after taking a hit.
However, this misfortune turned into a blessing, as he grasped the Principle of Life amidst life and death, and soon after, he directly advanced to the Supreme Powerhouse.
"I was doing this to protect my people!"
Upon hearing this, the Xieju's appearance no longer seemed so ferocious.
It was as if someone else had been responsible for the continuous slaughter of the Demon Race.
But this very person told Peng Tianlin that every Demon Race was willing to sacrifice themselves for their race at any time!
His ruthless slaughter of his compatriots is still vivid in my mind.
But this was such a vicious and ruthless guy.
At this moment, he actually said such a thing with a sanctimonious air.
Protecting the people? Are you kidding me?
The number of Demon Race who died at his hands far exceeds trillions.
Peng Tianlin glanced at the Demon Race army behind him, looking thoughtful.
"Did you discover that even killing all these Demon Race wouldn't help?"
This time, the Xieju did not answer.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but rather that his soul no longer allowed it.
He just looked at Peng Tianlin with a smile, his soul becoming increasingly faint.
Looking at the almost vanished soul before him, Peng Tianlin suddenly recalled what Xieju had said earlier.
"For the Demon Race, there are no individuals, only groups. As long as it benefits the Demon Race, any demon can offer their life at any time, even the Great Sage!"
Xieju proved the truth of his words with his actions.
At the same time, it also affected the balance of power between the human and demon races with its Supreme Powerhouse power.
The Echo of Life was defiled, Great Sage of Longevity's strength was immediately reduced by one-tenth.
Finally, the spirit of the Xieju dissipated.
The crimson silk that enveloped the Echo of Life began to thin out.
And it quickly returned to its blood mist state.
This time, however, they were unable to form the Blood Mist Grand Formation because they had lost their master.
The Echo of Life in the middle are also revealed at the same time.
The previously translucent green color on the surface has disappeared.
Instead, large patches of yellow appeared.
It looks like a withered plant.
The Sage's Will has completely vanished.
From a distance, it looks like a newly unearthed artifact.
Although filled with remorse, Peng Tianlin couldn't help but bow his head in gratitude upon seeing the Echo of Life.
At the same time, countless Supreme Powerhouse Demon Race in the void also bowed their heads in homage to that direction.
This is a final tribute to the Supreme Powerhouse Xieju!
"Alas! I am not as good as him!"
At this moment, Xingtian heard Feng Jiu's sigh again.
"It's over! This round, our Demon Race has won!"
As soon as Feng Jiu finished speaking...
The battlefield suddenly fell silent.
It was as if time had stopped.
Whether they were living beings present or powerful beings hidden in the void.
Without exception, none of them dared to move.
This space was now enveloped by a very peculiar aura.
This aura has a very resounding name.
Sage's Will!
As the Sage's Will spread, two old men suddenly appeared.
One of them had white hair but a youthful True Immortal; they looked like Longevity.
The other had a withered face, as if he were experiencing a final burst of energy before death.
The two were none other than the Great Sage of Longevity and the Phoenix Ancestor.
With a wave of his hand, the Great Sage of Longevity caused the extremely dilapidated Echo of Life in the center to disappear.
Seeing this, Phoenix Ancestor did not stop them.
However, a broad smile appeared on his face.
"Hmph! Phoenix Ancestor! What a cunning trick! You've defiled my Great Sage precious treasure!"
"Heh, Longevity! The method is indeed clever, but Non-Self, it's Xieju's!"
How could the Great Sage of Longevity not know? It was just that he was being schemed against by a Supreme Powerhouse being, and he couldn't help but feel resentful.
That's why he used words to attribute the credit to Phoenix Ancestor.
However, as the Great Sage, his demeanor is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Therefore, after hearing what Phoenix Ancestor said, the Great Sage of Longevity did not refute it.
Instead, he took out the Echo of Life and examined it carefully.
Finally, he sighed and said, "Ah, that was truly impressive, what a pity!"
After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.
Upon seeing this, Phoenix Ancestor also vanished in a flash.
Seeing that the Great Sage had retreated, the war could not continue.
So both sides began to retreat in an orderly fashion.
As for Xingtian, he was taken away from the battlefield by Feng Jiu and returned to the space where he first met Phoenix Ancestor.
However, a strange flame has now appeared in the space.
It is currently stationary in the air.
Xingtian sensed the flavor of the Eternal Flame within it, yet it was somewhat different.
