CHAPTER 1139: CHAPTER 902: FIRST VICTORY

"The Golden Crow Demon God has escaped?"

Li Yi was somewhat surprised by this sudden change, but soon understood: the Golden Crow Demon God had been skeptical about the outcome of this great battle from the start, which was why he proposed a truce.

Now that the Qilin Demon God’s body was blasted apart and the Fire Phoenix Demon Soul was extinguished by him, if the Golden Crow Demon God did not leave now, he would face the encirclement of two top-tier powerhouses.

She had absolutely no confidence in winning a one-on-two battle, and instead of fighting to the bitter end, it was better to escape while she was in good condition to avoid the possibility of being trapped.

What the Golden Crow Demon God didn’t know was that Li Yi’s combat power could only be maintained for five minutes, and as soon as time was up, he would quickly fall back into a weakened state, unable to contest with the Demon Gods.

But regardless of the situation, the enemy’s retreat signaled that this battle was won by their side.

Without Demon God-level combat power, as long as Li Yi and the Eastern Pole Venerable were present, it would be an overwhelming slaughter, just like when the Demon God Realm invaded Earth previously.

Li Yi took a deep breath and proactively dispersed the Qi Fortune Power within his body, which, once leaving his body, was immediately attracted by the host in the void, converging on Wang Chengjun, Li Weiguo, and the other five strong military warriors.

Because part of the Qi Fortune was returned, these individuals somewhat recovered, not as terribly as before, but they were still heavily injured and unable to participate in the ensuing battle.

"The Golden Crow Demon God has already escaped, this battle is a certain defeat for us, the Demon God Realm is beyond saving, fellow Demon Kings, flee for your lives, save whoever you can," a Great Demon shouted in despair, and then he no longer hesitated, rushing out of the battlefield.

Other Great Demons also began to scatter, unwilling to fight any longer, because the opponent had Demon God-level power, leaving no doubt about the outcome of this battle.

The Demon Kings watched the direction in which the Golden Crow fled, filled with anger and frustration, but soon a deep sense of helplessness emerged.

The Demon God had already run away and would not return, what was the point of persisting?

"Let’s go, if we don’t leave now, we Demon Kings won’t be able to escape."

"Where to go? The Demon God Realm is no longer livable, where do we run to?"

"Go to Xuanxian Continent, I have had contact with Immortal Cultivators before, so I set up a Transmission Array in secret that can send us to Xuanxian Continent." At this time, the Silver Tooth Demon King among the Demon Kings stepped out and offered everyone a clear path.

"With our strength as Demon Kings, even if we go to Xuanxian Continent, we can still become a dominant force, and there’s no need to worry about future survival. And since Xuanxian Continent and Earth are also adversaries, there might be an opportunity for revenge through Xuanxian Continent in the future."

Upon hearing this from the Silver Tooth Demon King, the disheartened Demon Kings suddenly had their eyes lit up.

Suddenly, a multitude of demons gathered, and a Transmission Array appeared on the battlefield, and in just a moment, over a dozen Demon Kings were transmitted away. The other Demon Kings, seeing this, also wanted to use the Transmission Array to escape.

However, the Eastern Pole Venerable immediately reacted, extending his finger to point through space, shattering the Transmission Array in the distance, rendering it completely ruined.

"Some remnants managed to escape when I was unprepared," the Eastern Pole Venerable slightly frowned, as even he, an Enlightened, could not oversee every event on the battlefield.

"Quickly eliminate the remaining Demon Kings, end this battle promptly." Li Yi now returned stepping on Xiangyun, holding a giant axe. Although his aura was weak, his burst of combat power could still slay Demon Kings.

"Taiyi Heavenly Venerate is right." The Eastern Pole Venerable immediately took action, directly targeting the Demon Kings.

Li Yi, Xiang Xiangzi, Xuan Yuezi, and numerous Enlightened and Martial Saints began their counterattack, focusing on the Demon Kings, because they posed the greatest threat, as for the Great Demons that fled, they could be dealt with later.

Even though the general situation was cleared, the battle remained brutal.

Knowing that there was no escape, the Demon Kings could only fight desperately, trying to take a few enemies down with them before dying. And this madness indeed had some effect, as Li Yi saw a Martial Saint caught off guard by a joint suicide attack from two Demon Kings, killing him instantly. Although the Eastern Pole Venerable later destroyed those two Demon Kings, it still resulted in a significant loss.

The battlefield was vast, with numerous Demon Kings and Great Demons, and even the Eastern Pole Venerable could not possibly oversee everyone.

He was already killing Demon Kings at the fastest speed possible.

This slaughter did not last long; after only two hours, all Demon Kings were executed, and the Great Demons scattered and fled, leaving behind some residuals hiding in this vast battlefield, impossible to be found immediately.

But as the sounds of battle gradually subsided, everyone was drenched in demon blood and wounded, having endured this most brutal of wars.

Many Evolvers and Cultivators perished on the battlefield, as the Demon Kings and Great Demons were by no means weak. If the Demon God-level powerhouses had not been defeated, Earth would have certainly lost this battle.

"It should be about finished now. I haven’t seen any trace of the Great Demons, and it was confirmed half an hour ago that the Demon Kings were all executed."

In a corner of the battlefield, Ye Jingtian was covered in blood, his hand holding the Purple and Blue Twin Swords trembling slightly; he had faced a siege of multitudes of demons, feeling despair as the swarming Great Demons charged at him.

Fortunately, amid desperation, Ye Jingtian relied on the Red Gold Battle Armor and the Purple and Blue Twin Swords, along with the foundation of his cultivation, to forcefully fight his way out.

Looking at the dents and scratches on his Red Gold Battle Armor, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the Battle Armor Li Yi gave him was of good quality, or else he would have really met his end here.

He glanced over to the other side.

Wu the Taoist, with two Tao Flowers above his head, was staggering as he sat atop a shattered mountain, inhaling and exhaling nature’s spiritual energy to recover himself.

However, no matter how much he inhaled and exhaled, the Tao Flower representing mana above Wu the Taoist’s head was also rapidly withering, wilting, until it finally vanished from sight.

His cultivation level was forcibly knocked down a notch.

If he hadn’t burned the Mana Flower, Wu the Taoist would never have survived, he would have been exhausted to death by a Great Demon, but with the expenditure of a Mana Flower, plus the Red Gold Battle Armor and the Red Gold Divine Sword, he managed to hold on.

"Wu Yong, how are you doing, are you alright?" Ye Jingtian asked.

"Not bad, I shouldn’t die, it’s just that my cultivation level was knocked away, but that’s a minor issue, I can just take some time to re-cultivate, I have experience with that," said Wu the Taoist.

Wu Yong was his alias on Earth.

"That’s good, I’ll go check somewhere else, be careful yourself." Ye Jingtian took a brief rest, regained some strength, and then flew towards other areas to inspect the situation around, avoiding sneak attacks from lurking Great Demons.

"Go ahead, I need to rest more." Wu the Taoist waved his hand, truly exhausted. Recalling the scene earlier when he was surrounded by a group of demons, he thought he was doomed.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed; seeing the Demon God escaping threw the demon group into disarray, losing their fighting spirit.

If the battle had lasted a bit longer, even with the Red Gold Dao Artifact, he would have met his demise.

The depth of the Demon God Realm was still quite strong, with an absurd number of Great Demons.

Elsewhere on the battlefield, the situation was similar as Evolvers and Cultivators fought in succession, exhausted, and now with the battle subsiding, they rested in various places, some grievously injured, nearly at death’s door.

Ye Jingtian, upon seeing those who were about to succumb to their injuries, didn’t hesitate to produce Life Water to prolong their lives.

With the resilient life force of Cultivators, as long as they held on to a breath, it wouldn’t take long for them to recover.

Saving comrades wasn’t just something he was doing; those who had participated in the Earth Defense Line battles also did the same, as they all had stored Life Water, once gifted by Li Yi, which now proved hugely beneficial.

In this situation, many lives were thus saved.

However, the easiest ones were the Divine Blood Warriors from the Barbaric World; for them, fighting for a few hours was nothing; being surrounded by Great Demons was a minor scene.

They could even physically withstand such levels of attack, and wearing Red Gold Battle Armor, even Great Demons despaired upon seeing them.

Thus, many Great Demons were hunted by this group of Divine Blood Warriors, and the only few warriors who died did so because they were targeted by Demon Kings.

After the battle ended, these Divine Blood Warriors immediately lit bonfires to roast the carcasses of Great Demons as food to fill their stomachs.

This primal scene made the Martial Artists from the Martial Saint Continent blink repeatedly.

"These people have terrifying potential. Without any cultivation level, they could fight thousands alone, slaughter their way through Great Demon hordes with ease. If they actually learned martial arts, what then?"

A master from the Martial Saint Continent thought to himself.

He had studied the strength of these barbarians seriously; whether in physique or strength, they reached superhuman levels, and Great Demons’ attacks left no wounds on them.

Only beings at the level of Demon Kings could put them down.

This formidable foundation opened up a new path for the masters of the Martial Saint Continent.

If they too could have such a physique, martial arts could certainly reach divine levels.

As a result, many Martial Artists were eager to learn the reason for the barbarians’ strong physique.

The information they received shocked them even more.

These warriors from the Barbaric World didn’t understand cultivation; they didn’t even know why their physiques were strong. They just fought every day, against rival tribes, against mutant beasts, and over time, those who survived became incredibly strong.

With extraordinary lineage, born strong!

The Martial Artists of the Martial God Continent could only describe the barbarians with these four words.

This kind of strength was something the people from other worlds envied in vain.

A Martial Saint who had been resting from injury specifically researched the Divine Blood Warriors of the Barbaric World and concluded that the people of the Barbaric World were all descendants of the Divine; whether or not they were Divine Blood Warriors, they all had Divine Blood, hence their massive builds, astonishing physiques, and long lifespans.

The reason they couldn’t compare was that they didn’t have a good ancestor, or more accurately, they didn’t have a group of good ancestors.
