CHAPTER 318: CHAPTER 304: THE FINAL BATTLE

Apart from a few people at Ling Tian Peak, Lin Bai was the only one who knew what Shi Nian had been doing these days.

He knew that Shi Nian was destroying the Demon Pool.

As long as the Demon Pool is destroyed, it would cut off the retreat for the Demon Clan.

Without the Demon Pool, the dead demons would perish between heaven and earth, their Demonic Qi would be compressed by the Spiritual Energy, until it finally vanishes completely.

Without the Demon Pool, there would be no more newly born demons. As long as this batch is eliminated, there will be no more demons in this world ever again.

Lin Bai knew Shi Nian was very strong, but at this moment, he still felt some worry.

After all, until the outcome is determined, there is always the possibility of unexpected occurrences.

He did not want the Human Clan to relax too soon, this battle is not a fight for Shi Nian alone, all of the Human Clan should eventually take part in it.

"I don’t know what the outcome of this battle will be," Lin Bai continued seriously, "I can only promise that I will not back down, and will fight on the front line. Until I shed my last drop of blood, or until every demon perishes!"

There was a chilling murderous intent in his words.

The crowd couldn’t help but nod their heads.

"Since the Demon Clan has already sent out troops, the Human Clan should also increase the momentum of the assembly," said Lin Bai. "This grudge of ten thousand years, this time, should finally come to an end."

After a year of internal cleansing, there are almost no spies from the Demon Clan within the Human Clan visible now.

At the command of Lin Bai, the crowd responded one after another.

The cultivators of the Human Clan also began to assemble.

Divine Martial Sect.

Most of the disciples were waiting in the square to sign up.

"Why is my cultivation just a little short, if I had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, I could have joined the battle," a spectator disciple said dejectedly.

"Me too, if I had known the battle would start so soon, I should have tried harder. Sigh!"

The disciples below the Foundation Establishment Stage were prohibited from signing up, each with a look of regret on their faces.

Disciples above the Foundation Establishment Stage had almost all submitted their names.

Ling Tian Peak.

Mu Nanqing and Lu Xingzhi had submitted their names early on, and it was already certain that they would participate in this battle.

Both showed not a hint of fear, and even a faint sense of anticipation.

Their progress this year had even frightened themselves.

Mu Nanqing has already broken through to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

Lu Xingzhi, only a step away from the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, could break through at any moment.

Although young, their strength has already placed them among the ranks of the masters.

Then there was the Ling Tian Sword Master.

Over the past year, he seemed much more restrained than before, like a sharp sword that had finally gained tenacity.

While he seemed gentler, once unsheathed, he was still as dazzlingly cold.

Fox Ruoshui stood by his side, looking at him tenderly.

In this final great battle, the hidden Demon Clan had also actively joined the fight.

Having lived within the Human Clan for a year, they had completely adapted to the life here. If the Human Clan were to lose this time, such peaceful days would be gone forever.

For the sake of everlasting peace in the future, the hidden Demon Clan nearly rose up in full force.

There were too few of these demons, and Lin Bai was worried they might encounter accidents, even advising them several times, but the demons were very persistent, so Lin Bai also agreed to let them join the battle.

Fox Ruoshui placed her hand over the back of the Ling Tian Sword Master’s hand, and Ling Tian Sword Master looked back at her, both smiling at each other with perfect understanding between them.

"I didn’t expect that we would have a day to fight side by side," said Fox Ruoshui, somewhat nostalgically.

One from the Human Clan and one from the Demon Clan, Fox Ruoshui thought they would never have a day together.

Unexpectedly, not only can they now be together openly and honorably, but they will also join together to resist the Demon Clan.

This plotline felt almost magical.

The Ling Tian Sword Master smiled faintly and held her hand in return: "This time, let’s turn the heavens and the earth upside down!"

"Okay." Fox Ruoshui agreed softly.

"Nanqing, Xingzhi, your mentor and I will go ahead, the two of you also need to be careful," the Ling Tian Sword Master instructed, "don’t rush forward blindly, only by keeping your lives can you have the opportunity to kill more demons, understand?"

"Yes," Mu Nanqing and Lu Xingzhi responded in unison.

Only then did the Ling Tian Sword Master nod his head.

He stood up, looking towards the distance.

What Shi Nian was doing now was the most crucial task.

With only two days left, it was absolutely, absolutely imperative for success.

Within the Demon Clan, there were actually a group of Human Clan members who had taken the Demon Transformation Pills. They were now lurking behind the Demon Clan, waiting for the right moment to act.

This group of Human Clan members was currently being marshaled mainly by Feng Ying. She and others such as Zhu Lin and Ding Yi had organized them well.

Yun Jian and Lin Tiantian, however, had not revealed their identities. They had stayed within the City Lord Mansion, and had hardly met with Feng Ying and the others.

After integrating with her true being, Lin Tiantian’s cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, bringing her very close to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

Now, amongst them, it was only Yun Jian who lagged behind, as he had just barely entered the Divinity Transformation Stage.

However, Yun Jian’s Jiuli Sword was specifically designed to counter the Demon Clan, and if he were to battle with the Demon Clan, his combat power would not be any less than the others.

Now.

The only hope was for Shi Nian to purify the Demon Pool, and then, to utterly annihilate the Demon Clan!

As much as that was said, the Ling Tian Sword Master furrowed his brows, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

Could things really go so smoothly?

Demon Realm.

Human Realm.

Both were frantically amassing their military forces.

At the border between the two realms, there was a dense throng of people hurrying to the battlefield.

Mortals could not participate in such warfare, only watching from behind, but the sheer number of cultivators flying overhead was enough to strike terror into their hearts.

The battle a hundred years ago, was it ever on such a scale?

This time, it seemed that both sides had come out in full force!

This battle could indeed be the ultimate decisive battle!

"The Human Clan has also reacted." The Abyss Demon Venerable smiled.

The greedy Demon Clan member spoke disdainfully, "So what? How can such lowly humans understand your greatness, sir? Once you emerge, these humans are but chickens and dogs."

"Indeed, we wait for the Sir to emerge!"

The Demon Clan members all appeared relaxed.

Just at that moment.

Suddenly, the expression of the Charming Spirit Demon Venerable changed.

"What’s wrong?" The moment the Abyss Demon Venerable asked, his expression changed as well.

The seven Demon Venerables began to react in succession. They soared into the sky, quickly turning their gaze towards a certain area.

They had all been waiting for the Sir to emerge and did not wish to engage in immediate combat.

But!

The Demon Clan and the Human Clan seemed to have already started fighting!

That area was in chaos, with the Human Clan and Demon Clan already clashing, and the confusion seemed to be spreading.

Luo Meng watched as the humans and demons on the plains already engaged in combat and let out a slight sigh of relief. She hurriedly led a few demons to retreat from the battlefield!

She knew the Demon Venerables were all waiting for that Sir to emerge.

But she was different.

For some reason, she had a strong intuition that once that Sir emerged, it might not be a good thing.

She also knew that no demon would listen to her.

So she could only act on her own initiative.

Although the Human Clan’s combat strength had increased somewhat, overall, they were still not a match for the Demon Clan. Their best bet was to establish a victory before that Sir emerged.

Therefore.

Luo Meng, with a few trusted subordinates, set up a few traps on purpose, inciting conflict at the border between the humans and demons.

This didn’t take much effort; the deep-seated hatred between the two clans meant that a mere provocation could lead to a life-and-death struggle!

Once the battle between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan began, the situation would spread like wildfire, slowly burning towards the distance.

Then the great war would be forced to start ahead of time!
