CHAPTER 1137: CHAPTER 900: RESURRECTION BY POSSESSION

They initially thought the words of the Golden Crow Demon God were just to scare them, but to their surprise, within an hour she indeed awakened a Demon God. This ancient Demon God had been sleeping deep in the lands of the Demon God Realm, isolated from the world, enduring countless millennia. Now appearing, its aura carried a distinct scent of decay.

But regardless of how ancient the Demon God was, its emergence posed a significant threat to Earth.

"Taiyi Heavenly Venerate, it seems we are in for another fierce battle." The Eastern Pole Venerable said with a smile, "I initially thought the Demon God Realm had no third Demon God, hence I delayed for an hour. I never expected to be hoist by my own petard."

Li Yi said, "This isn’t your fault. No one knows the full depth of the Demon God Realm’s foundation. Also, a brief ceasefire benefits us; Earth’s Evolvers are exhausted from the siege. Without rest, it will lead to significant casualties. Additionally, intimidating the Golden Crow Demon God could disrupt them without a fight. I already saw some Demon Kings and Great Demons trying to flee the battlefield."

"However, merely two Demon Gods attempting to defy destiny is rather naive. Today, the Demon God Realm must be conquered."

His attitude was resolute, and upon knowing the situation of Qi Fortune Power blessing, he did not fear the third Demon God.

At this moment.

Accompanied by various phenomena, in the depths of the torn land, an ancient mythical creature, the Qilin, roared at the heavens and leapt out. The colossal Demon God’s body stretched across the sky like a giant mountain.

"Indeed, the Qilin Demon God has manifested. Great, now those Evolvers are doomed." The Demon Kings were instantly invigorated, believing the time for counterattack had arrived.

But only the Golden Crow Demon God’s golden eyes revealed a hint of seriousness, for she remembered clearly that the Qilin Demon God had died in the past ten thousand years. The message she sent out was intended for the Fire Phoenix undergoing Nirvana.

Now, instead of the Fire Phoenix, the Qilin Demon God has revived. She roughly guessed the reason.

It must be that the Fire Phoenix Demon God’s soul left its body and used the corpse to return to life, reviving the remnants of the Qilin Demon God. Appearing at such a critical moment to assist the Demon God Realm in battle, solving the current crisis.

But would the combination of the Fire Phoenix’s soul with the Qilin’s remains truly possess genuine Demon God level combat power? Moreover, how long could this state last? Would it be seen through by Earth’s strong ones?

A series of questions filled the Golden Crow Demon God’s mind. But since the Fire Phoenix Demon God chose this action, it must be the best arrangement, better than facing the current situation alone.

"Taiyi, that Demon God’s state isn’t right, lacking vitality, shrouded in death, like a puppet. Moreover, the power within is inconsistent with its body’s strength, feeling manipulated." At this moment, Xiang Xiangzi also noticed some clues, and she sent a voice message.

Li Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the colossal Qilin on the sky, both agreed on the feeling.

"The Demon God’s body is real, but the Demon God’s soul may not be. However, the current situation isn’t important; what’s crucial is how powerful this Demon God can be," Li Yi said.

"If as speculated, then this Demon God’s strength won’t exceed half of its peak power. But even so, it’s still troublesome," Xiang Xiangzi responded.

Even half a Demon God’s combat power could sway the battle, for only the Eastern Pole Venerable could slay it. Li Yi’s foundation was damaged, making him unmatched unless blessed by incense, Qi Fortune Power.

But doing so would exhaust the remaining five strong ones, making the trade unwise.

With the Qilin Demon God revealed, the demons were eager to start the attack. Only waiting for the Golden Crow Demon God’s command to initiate the counterattack, they intended to defeat the enemy thoroughly, even imagined storming Earth to annihilate humanity, then replacing it with a new Demon God Realm.

At this moment, all the Demon Kings entered a fantasy time.

But the Golden Crow Demon God didn’t initiate this battle because she noticed the five strong ones’ aura has converged, with a mysterious power about to bless the Taiyi Heavenly Venerate.

Though heavily injured, the Taiyi Heavenly Venerate’s foundation remained; if blessed by the unknown power, he might still fight.

In the current situation, neither side could claim absolute advantage, and it was a mere balance.

"Golden Crow, my core is still undergoing Nirvana, unable to aid you. In urgency, I can only return using the Qilin Demon God’s body. However, this state can’t last long; once battle starts, time decreases. Whether to fight or negotiate, a decision must be made swiftly."

At this moment, a woman’s voice reached the Golden Crow Demon God’s ears.

It was the Fire Phoenix Demon God speaking to her.

"Indeed." A chill ran through the Golden Crow Demon God’s heart, she had predicted this situation: "Now, the Demon God Realm faces a critical moment. The Purple Dragon Demon God has already fled, and only we remain as Demon Gods. If this battle is lost, the Demon God Realm will perish."

Hearing this, the Fire Phoenix Demon God paused before saying, "I can at most stall one equal-level strong opponent, the rest is up to you."

Her meaning was clear: if the Golden Crow Demon God was confident enough to quickly defeat the Eastern Pole Venerable or Taiyi Heavenly Venerate, then they could fight.

If not confident, it’s better to negotiate.

The choice was left to the Golden Crow Demon God.

At this moment, the Golden Crow Demon God felt immense pressure, realizing her actions determined the survival of countless demon lives.

In such circumstances, the Golden Crow Demon God remained composed, unmoved by anything, and slowly said, "Together, we two Demon Gods are powerful enough to cross realms and attack your Earth, but I don’t wish to see creatures of both realms slaughtered. If you cease now and withdraw from the Demon God Realm, I can assure future peace between the two realms."

In the end, she chose to relent, hoping to use the force of two Demon Gods to compel Earth’s Evolvers to retreat.

"Why not fight? You want a truce? Golden Crow Demon God, that’s unacceptable." A Demon King immediately reacted angrily.

They were just about to seek revenge, even planning on the land they would occupy after storming Earth, yet the Demon God did not wish to battle.

Why?

With two Demon Gods combined, the advantage was theirs; how could they negotiate before fighting?

That Taiyi Heavenly Venerate was severely wounded by the Purple Dragon Demon God, appearing intact but feeble inside, unsure if capable of battling a Demon King, and thus not a threat.

As long as the Golden Crow Demon God holds up the Eastern Pole Venerable, waits for the Qilin Demon God to kill the Taiyi Heavenly Venerate, then takes out Xiang Xiangzi, Xuan Yuezi, and other strong figures, what’s left will be a one-sided slaughter.

All Great Demons would calculate this, why doesn’t the Demon God understand?

Is there some other concern?

Or is there a hidden strong figure on Earth?

Of course, there are also Demon Kings who remain silent, vaguely guessing the crux of the problem.

That perhaps the Qilin Demon God is not as strong as imagined, its body filled with dense death aura, as if life has been extinct for long, only today somehow reawakened, to fight for the Demon God Realm.

This state is still strong but cannot last long...

At this moment, under the confrontation of the two sides, the atmosphere is somewhat eerie.

The Eastern Pole Venerable, Li Yi, and many strong figures, as well as Earth’s high tiers, upon hearing the Golden Crow Demon God still demanded peace and cessation of war, instantly understood the crux of the problem, but even if understood, what then?

The appearance of the third Demon God made the upper echelons of Earth apprehensive. Regardless of whether this Demon God has problems or not, as long as the combat power is displayed there, they have to consider the consequences of initiating the war.

"Whether to fight, let Li Yi decide. He has defeated a Demon God and has the most authority to speak about the Demon God’s strength. If he can win, then start the war; if not, stop here. It wouldn’t be wrong to wait until Li Yi recovers from his injuries before fighting back. Taking down the entirety of the Demon God Realm is indeed challenging."

"If war starts, let Wang Chengjun and the others act immediately, do not hesitate. Such a level of battle cannot afford hesitation."

After some discussion within the command ship, Earth’s higher-ups quickly made a decision. They trust Li Yi, so they handed the choice of this battle over to him.

Very soon.

Li Yi received this message too.

His eyes immediately became solemn, then glanced over at the distant Demon God Realm camp, and then looked at the Qilin Demon God, whose death aura was overwhelming yet still had terrifying combat power.

"Bestow fortune power upon me; I will go fight the Qilin Demon God."

Almost without hesitation, Li Yi made the decision and secretly communicated to Wang Chengjun and the others.

"Alright."

Five military experts almost without any hesitation, ruined their foundations, and extracted the qi fortune power.

Instantly, five rays of fortune light soared into the sky, then gathered in a mass in the sky and fell upon Li Yi.

Initially weakened, Li Yi’s aura surged immediately upon receiving this power.

This act is undoubtedly the best answer.

"Damn it." The Golden Crow Demon God was furious upon witnessing this scene. She had already asked for peace, not expecting the Earth people to persist unyieldingly. Since they chose to fight, she does not mind burning down two realms, going for mutual destruction.

Yet she does not know how, when the Demon King invaded Earth, countless cities were destroyed, countless people devoured by Great Demons, and many were forced to escape across realms.

Even Li Yi’s hometown, Tianchang City, with several Tri-Floral Realm masters guarding, couldn’t hold and had to flee to the Four Seas and Eight Continents, still pursued by Great Demons, nearly obliterated.

This sea of blood feud, how could it end just because of a word from the Golden Crow Demon God?

Even Earth’s higher-ups ponder not about whether to fight, but whether they can win. As long as there’s a chance of victory, they won’t concede today.

The Demon God in wrath, the terrifying power of the Demon God unleashed, instantly igniting the world, an endless sea of True Sun Fire erupting in boundless flames.

Everything is burning, and the Golden Crow Demon God at this moment turns into a scorching sun, advancing without retreat, slaying toward the location of Earth’s evolvers.

"What a vicious Golden Crow, full of ferocity."

The Eastern Pole Venerable instantly revealed a Dharma Image a thousand feet tall, then with a swirl of Daoist robe, isolating the world, blocked a portion of True Sun Fire, protecting those behind him, and without any hesitation, met the Golden Crow Demon God head-on.

And with the Golden Crow Demon God’s move, the massive Qilin also grew angry, its whole body wrapped in demon god power, like a giant meteor striking toward the enemy.

If no one blocks it, the Earth’s strong would be wiped out completely.

But at this moment.

Li Yi with fortune power added to his body, as if injected with the mighty power of a Great Realm, giving him once more the capital to combat the Demon God.

With an angry roar, Li Yi’s Divine Body manifested again, transforming into a hundred feet titan, but that was not the end, he performed the Big and Small Ruyi Skill, the hundred feet Divine Body expanded again, suddenly turning into a thousand feet titan.

Surrounded by lightning, incense, fortune coalesced, he temporarily possessed terrifying combat power beyond usual.

And the five Earth strong who had consumed their fortune now weak and limp, were swiftly taken away by others, far from the battlefield.

"Li Yi, fight swiftly, at most five minutes, your power will fall back." Before leaving, Wang Chengjun, once again reminded.
