CHAPTER 330: CHAPTER 316: THE FINAL SHOWDOWN

Shi Nian first slew the six great Demon Lords, then almost single-handedly restrained the top-tier combat power of the Demon Clan, leading to their collapse in a torrential downfall.

In less than half an hour.

All the top-tier combat power of the Demon Clan was annihilated.

Even those who fled to the edge of the Barrier were hunted down and slaughtered.

Once these Human Clan elders were free to act, the remaining forces of the Demon Clan were even less of a match.

Fox Ruoshui and some Hidden Demon Clan who came to assist in the battle watched, dumbfounded.

Fox Ruoshui knew some insider information and remained relatively calm for the time being.

But for those Hidden Demon Clan who came to the battlefield determined to die, it was rather embarrassing.

Lin Bai had repeatedly stated they need not join the battle, and they had thought he was just being modest.

Who could have imagined that the Human Clan truly didn’t need any help! Not to mention anything else, just with Shi Nian alone, given enough time, it’s feared that the entire Demon Clan could be wiped out.

As if perceiving the embarrassment of these Demon Clan members, the Ling Tian Sword Master said with a smile, "Thank you all for coming to battle. Our Human Clan will remember your kindness! In the future, the harmonious coexistence between our two clans, as close as family members, would naturally go without saying."

The Ling Tian Sword Master spoke very courteously, and the group of Hidden Demon Clan members were reassured.

At this moment, a Demon Clan member cautiously said, "Ling Tian Sword Master, the Demon Clan here has no way to escape, but the Demon Realm is still under their control. Now, the ten royal bloodlines that stirred up the storm have all been wiped out, leaving only these ordinary Demon Clan struggling to survive. I am thinking, should we not take over and reclaim the Demon Realm?"

Making this suggestion, the Demon Clan felt somewhat apprehensive.

The Human Clan was willing to accept these Hidden Demons, which was already very kind, but to also help their ordinary Demon Clan kin might be asking too much?

"There’s no need to worry about the matters of the Demon Realm," Shi Nian said with a laugh, and Fox Ruoshui followed with her own smile.

The other Demon Clan members who were unaware of the situation became even more nervous.

"Holy Daughter, please take them on a trip to the Demon Realm," Shi Nian said, looking down at the scene below where the Human Clan was now toying with the Demon Clan.

Feng Ying was killing demons so fervently that she seemed a bit too excited. Shi Nian said helplessly, "Take Zhu Lin with you as well."

Most of the work in the Demon Realm was being done by Feng Ying and Zhu Lin; either of them going over could explain things clearly.

Fox Ruoshui agreed with a smile, leapt down, and hauled Zhu Lin up with her.

Zhu Lin started off terrified, howling like a haunted wolf, but calmed down when he saw it was Fox Ruoshui.

"Zhu Lin, you bring a few elders with you to have a look at the Demon Realm," said Shi Nian.

"Yes, Boss!" Zhu Lin responded instinctively, then he scratched his head and looked uncertainly at the bloodthirsty Feng Ying.

Shi Nian helplessly replied, "I am here, what is there to worry about?"

The remaining Demon Clan could actually be wiped out with a mere gesture.

But, having suppressed their animosity for so many years, Shi Nian and the other capable members of the Human Clan intended to let everyone vent their pent-up rage.

At the same time, it would serve to sharpen the battlefield skills of the younger generation.

The anticipated life-and-death struggle between Humans and Demons had turned into a teaching moment for the Human Clan to train their youth.

Reassured by Shi Nian’s words, Zhu Lin relaxed, chuckled twice, and set off with Fox Ruoshui, leading a group of Hidden Demons to the Demon Realm.

The once wild outskirts of the Demon Realm were now, like the Human Realm, fortified with city walls and tall buildings.

Upon arriving at the Demon Realm, the Hidden Demons’ first sight was of young Human Clan and Demon Clan members harmoniously cooperating to build their homes.

The Hidden Demons were flabbergasted.

???

Where are the Demons?

Wasn’t this place supposed to have fallen into demon territory, perennially guarded by the Demons?

Zhu Lin cleared his throat and said, "Whoever is in charge here, come out for a moment."

Zhu Lin’s voice spread throughout the small city, and soon a member of the Human Clan stepped forward.

"Big brother Zhu," the Human Clan member greeted Zhu Lin with a joyful look.

Zhu Lin said, "Please tell these seniors what happened here."

"Yes." This member of the Human Clan quickly responded, "We took the Demon Transformation Pill before and followed Boss Feng and Boss Zhu to the Demon Realm to do undercover work. We blended into the Demon Clan masses and conducted enlightenment... no, guidance on them. We established an organization called the Harmony Association within the Demon Realm. All those who joined us were brothers and sisters, everyone working together to build a beautiful tomorrow."

A group of reclusive members of the Demon Clan: "???"

They seemed to understand, yet they didn’t quite grasp it.

Fox Ruoshui, representing everyone, asked, "You did so much, and the Demon Clan didn’t notice any of it?"

That Human Clan member immediately showed a disdainful expression: "Before we came here, I thought these demons would be difficult to handle. But in reality, though their Martial Force might be slightly better than ours, their brains are really not that sharp. We only need to use some simple excuses, and these demons would eagerly let us do all the work while they live a decadent life amidst the Demon Clan."

Fox Ruoshui asked again, "What about these demons now?"

That Human Clan member said, "When the frontline conflicts were on the verge of erupting, we received real-time updates through the All-Worlds Communication. In the All-Worlds Communication, there’s an operation team that, under Boss Feng’s commands, directed us to eliminate the Demon Clan here. We started two days ago and as of now, all the demons here have been wiped out, leaving only the Human and Demon Clans."

The group of reclusive Demon Clan members were stunned.

???

Just how unlucky were these demons?

The Holy Daughter, cultivated with the resources of an entire clan, turned out to be Shi Nian of the Human Clan.

The hard-won Demon Realm had its fruits picked by the Human Clan long ago.

It was truly a heartrending tale for the questioner and the listener alike.

A Great Demon couldn’t help but ask, "When you made your move, did you not encounter any resistance?"

That Human Clan member replied: "Of course there was resistance, but we had been preparing for this day since a year before, completely unbeknownst to the Demon Clan. Moreover, most of the Demon Clan within the realm had already joined our Harmony Association, so in this operation, our brethren from the Demon Clan also lent us not a small amount of help. However, due to a minor lapse in my command, this operation resulted in ten slightly injured and one severely injured! The demons in the other nearby cities didn’t suffer a single scratch."

While speaking, he looked quite annoyed with himself.

Fox Ruoshui glanced at the other reclusive members of the Demon Clan: "Honored seniors, is there anything else you’d like to ask?"

After a long while, one member of the Demon Clan said, "Shall we... just take a look around?"

Zhu Lin didn’t refuse, and he took these reclusive members of the Demon Clan to see the nearby cities; they even transformed into ordinary people to witness the real situation.

After wandering for an entire day, these Demon Clan members’ expressions had become complicated.

During the era ruled by the ten royal families, ordinary members of the Demon Clan had hardly any way to survive; the vast majority of the Demon Clan existed to serve those ten royal families. At that time, the life of an ordinary member of the Demon Clan was worse than death.

Now.

With the Demon Realm taken over by the Human Clan, these members of the Demon Clan were actually living better than before.

The ones oppressing you were your kinfolk.

Your saviors were your adversaries.

This was truly indescribable.

Leaving the last city behind.

An elderly Demon Clan member stepped forward, earnestly saying, "From now on, the Demon Clan is willing to follow the lead of the Human Clan, to advance and retreat together as one, sharing our fate."

This elder seemed to have high status. Once he spoke, the rest of the Demon Clan members nodded in agreement—one after another—without objections.

Since then, the integration of the Demon Clan faced no further dissent.

Three days later.

The battlefield between humans and demons was cleansed.

All participating members of the Demon Clan were annihilated.

The Demon Realm was eternally sealed by Shi Nian, and the demons inside who did not participate in the battle would never be able to leave the Demon Realm.

A small group of demons who had fled the Demon Realm early could only skulk in hiding from then on, not daring to show their faces ever again.

The Demon Clan integrated.

The Demon Clan was wiped out.

The Human Realm determined the final victor.
