Chapter 483: Ancient Arrival
Bing State
Lin Die set off, walking out from the human camp, step by step. With each step, her imposing manner grew stronger, even the fighting Demon Emperor felt the extremely strong aura and stopped, returning to the side of the Demon Emperor.
"Finally, you’ve arrived."
The Demon Emperor looked at Lin Die’s figure, his eyes shining brightly, also releasing a powerful pressure.
The pressure belonged to the Demon Emperor, not Lin Die.
"Eight levels, very good, you are qualified to talk to me now."
Lin Die walked up to the Demon Emperor and smiled faintly. If she was only at the seventh level, she wouldn’t have the qualification to talk to her.
"It’s my honor, how should I address you now?"
Feng Jiu glanced at the surrounding Demon Emperors, and they all retreated. The prohibition slowly unfolded. Some things were better left unspoken. Knowing too much was not good for them.
"Calling me ancestor wouldn’t be too much, right?"
"Not at all. My heritage tells me that you are from the same era as the ancestors of my Phoenix clan, surviving in ancient times."
"This is what I dislike about the Demon clan. Heritage is about bloodline, and it doesn’t allow me to keep a low profile."
"But aren’t you also part of the Demon clan, ancestor?"
"Demon clan is what you and the humans call it. I don’t like it."
"What does that old ancestor like to be called?"
"Immortal, or god."
"Immortals, gods, old ancestors, are there really immortals and gods in this world?"
Feng Jiu said, this is a common question for many cultivators and demonic beings, are there really immortals in the world, after all, there has never been any appearance in the cultivation world.
"Yes."
"Since the old ancestor said there are, then there are, our demonic clan has been following for so many years without regret."
"It seems you know a lot, is it passed down in your bloodline or did Xia Qingshan tell you?"
"Both, but I don’t know if the great calamity is the beginning of becoming an immortal or the old ancestor’s tribulation, please enlighten me, old ancestor."
Feng Jiu bowed to Lin Die, a disciple’s bow of seeking knowledge from others, he truly wanted to seek guidance from Lin Die.
"Many people complain that life is unfair, but in reality, life is fair. To the greater universe, we are like ants. Would you favor one ant over another in a group of ants?"
"No."
"So, whether this is my calamity or my chance to become immortal, it’s all the same. I have the opportunity, and so do you."
"In that case, I feel relieved. At least, the efforts of the demon race over tens of thousands of years have not been in vain."
Feng Jiu nodded. Regardless of whether what Lin Die said was true or not, he found comfort in his heart, preventing the feeling of being used for someone else’s gain.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?"
"No, farewell, Wilderness."
"Alright, farewell, Wilderness."
Lin Die nodded. Lin Die and Feng Jiu were not in a hurry to take action now. They understood each other. As long as the forty-eight Tao Achieving and Demon Emperors were not all dead, they would not act.
Maybe they would never fight, who knows, the future is full of uncertainties.
·········
"Didn’t start a fight."
Lin Jiang was very disappointed when he saw Lin Die return. If Lin Die had been able to fight and defeat Feng Jiu, the battle may have ended.
"Brother, Third Sister’s aura just now was so scary."
"I know, she and Demon Emperor Feng Jiu have surpassed Tao Achieving, they should be the strongest in the cultivation world now."
"Ah, even stronger than Tao Achieving, isn’t that····"
"So they are the players, and we are the pawns, Little Swallow, remember, in the upcoming battles, don’t charge forward recklessly. Survival is crucial, the final battle is approaching soon."
Lin Jiang said, no one knew what Lin Die and Demon Emperor Feng Jiu talked about during their meeting, but Lin Jiang could already foresee that the time for the final battle was near. All the mysteries and origins would be resolved soon.
Lin Die returned to the camp, Demon Emperor Feng Jiu also went back to the demon army with Demon Emperor without continuing the attack, both sides entered a silence.
Cao Ying and Zhou Huaiying also returned, not long after, Cao Ying received urgent pleas for help from Shenmu City one after another.
"To save or not to save"
Cao Ying found Lin Jiang, she didn’t look for other high-ranking officials, what they said didn’t count.
"Not to save, but to go"
"What do you mean"
"Lin Die’s appearance in the Lin family, and in the Yun State was not without reason, her appearance is to ensure that in this war, at least forty-eight Tao Achieving or Demon Emperors must die, even if those Tao Achieving from Shenmu Sect survive this time, they still have to die, they can’t escape.
So you take Zhou Huaiying to Shenmu Sect, not to rescue, but to weaken the demon clan, to kill the severely injured Demon Emperor, you must ensure that the demon clan is unable to enslave the human race after this battle, if possible, it’s fine to kill more Demon Emperors, but you must ensure your own safety
"I never thought Tao Achieving would become prey too"
"Everyone is a pawn in the game, including those who play the game. Little Ying, you must ensure that you survive. With Tao Achieving and the Demon Emperor, there are about sixty of them. You have a chance to win. Once you have enough numbers, the war will be over."
Lin Jiang said that in the cultivation world, with Xia Qingshan’s help, there are more than forty Tao Achieving and Demon Emperors. Without eliminating enough opponents, Cao Ying won’t survive.
"I understand, how about Zhou Huaiying…"
"We’ll use him if we can, if not, it’s no big deal. Trust me, Lin Die won’t let him live."
Lin Jiang mentioned that Zhou Huaiying was a very talented person, smart and resilient. But such people are too dangerous. Lin Die wouldn’t give him a chance to live.
"Alright, I’ll depart tonight."
"Be careful, make sure you come back alive."
Lin Jiang expressed that now he only wishes for the people around him to survive.
That evening, Cao Ying took the very unwilling Zhou Huaiying and left Bing State, heading to Zhong State. The two of them didn’t enter the Shenmu Sect but instead observed from the outskirts.
At this time, the demon clan was still fiercely attacking. Demon Emperor Feng Jiu left the Zhong State, with the Demon Queen and Phoenix Demon Emperor in charge. They ordered relentless attacks day and night, and the entrance of Shenmu Sect was already on the verge of collapse.
"Cao Ying, why are we here? Shenmu Sect can’t hold on anymore."
"Do you want to fight ten of them on your own?"
"I’m not that strong."
Zhou Huaiying pursed his lips. Even if he were to restore his peak strength, he wasn’t confident to fight ten opponents. While he could handle two to three normal Demon Emperors, facing top-tier Demon Emperors like the Phoenix Demon Emperor was a different story.
"Then be quiet and listen to my orders."
"Alright, alright, you’re in charge."
Zhou Huaiying stopped arguing. He preferred to avoid fighting if possible.
"*Sound of impact*"
Another day passed, the Shenmu Sect’s mountain gate formation shattered, unable to hold on any longer. As soon as the formation fell apart, Ancestor He and the others immediately flew towards the north. They had already begun rebuilding defenses in places like Danxia Sect. As long as they could break through, they could continue resisting stubbornly until the end, fighting step by step.
"Human taoist friend, where are you rushing off to?"
However, the Phoenix Demon Emperor and Demon Queen had already appeared in front of them. Being bird-like demons, they were extremely fast.
"Attack!"
Ancestor He and the others didn’t waste any words, they directly charged forward.
"Boom!"
Two fire dragons suddenly appeared, the Phoenix Demon Emperor and Demon Queen both spewed fire, blocking everyone. Under Tao Achieving realm, they couldn’t care less but these Tao Achieving couldn’t escape.
The other Demon Emperors had caught up, ten Demon Emperors against ten Tao Achieving, a brutal battle erupted. They didn’t even bother taking the fight to the sky, the aftermath of the battle turning the surrounding area into ruins for miles around.
"Ancestor He, save me."
Not long after they started fighting, Wu Zilin got scared and asked for help. He was an Alchemist, not good at fighting, but he was being targeted by the Demon Emperor, which was very dangerous.
Ancestor He was facing the Phoenix Demon Emperor and couldn’t even protect himself, so he couldn’t help others. He just wanted to run away.
"Can’t run away…"
"Let’s fight!"
"Fight with them!"
"If we don’t fight hard, do we want to become slaves to the demons?"
Even the big shots like Tao Achieving were not all cowards. Pushed to the limit, they started fighting desperately, using all kinds of secret techniques and methods to survive.
It was a time to be ruthless. While others valued their lives, if you were not afraid of death, you might survive.
"Boom!"
Tao Achieving fell and heavily injured the opponent before dying.
"The sword scriptures, the world returns to its origin."
Tao Achieving from the Qingchen Sword Sect fought desperately, burning his life force. Countless swords transformed and merged into one, a massive sword energy crushed the opponent, aging him by decades.
"Even at death’s door, I’ll take someone down with me. Boom!"
Tao Achieving reversed his meridians, self-destructed, turning both himself and the enemy into pieces together.
From afar, Cao Ying and Zhou Huaiying watched in shock. It was so brutal. This was the top-tier Tao Achieving in the cultivation world, yet just like a low-level cultivator, he fell like this.
Thousands of years of hard cultivation went down the drain.
"Stop watching, take action."
Cao Ying said to Zhou Huaiying, aside from being amazed, they must not forget their mission.
