Chapter 3259: Chapter 3279: To Break or Not to Break, a Dilemma

“Each crystal column is a matrix carrying countless demon seeds; as long as it absorbs enough life force, it can transfer this devoured life force to the demon seeds and hatch innumerable demons.”

“You may have killed 100,000, one million demons in this battle, but what of it?”

“The life force of this land, your fallen immortals or those from the demon race, all possess extraordinarily strong life force. Their life force will breed demons by the millions; how many can you possibly kill?”

Lord Charm Erosion’s voice was filled with smug achievement, his slender fingers pointing downwards: “See those who have died in battle? The fluid in the matrix has completely corrupted them, you must think they’re already dead…”

Although the allied forces of the two realms had suffered heavy losses, the Immortal Emperor remained outwardly calm, because even if he wanted to do something, it wouldn’t be of much use. After all, facing the five lords, it was impossible to simply go down and help. It was better to take this opportunity to gather more information to avoid suffering the same severe losses in future wars.

“Since they’re like this, can they still be alive?”

Lord Ao Jue laughed heartily: “From your perspective, they are naturally dead, but from our demon’s perspective, they aren’t dead at all. Not only are they not dead, but they can also come back to life and fight for us.”

The Saints all shifted their gaze slightly; could the dead warriors be resurrected by demons and become servants who fight for the demons?

Just moments ago everyone was fighting side by side, bravely slaying the enemy, and now they have to fight each other?

“What a brilliant strategy!”

The Immortal Emperor said gravely, “What about that guy in the matrix, then? Is he the helper you mentioned?”

“Yes!”

Lord Charm Erosion giggled, “Inside each matrix, a very powerful demon is nurtured as the core of the entire matrix. The matrix can even act as a warship, wandering through the starry sky. As long as the matrix remains intact, the powerful demon will remain in a dormant state, providing energy for the matrix. But once the matrix is destroyed, this powerful demon will awaken.”

Lord of the Abyss’s stomach wound continuously moved, his voice ominously deep: “The demon sleeping inside the matrix is no weaker than us. Aren’t you happy to hear this news?”

The saints’ mood suddenly became incredibly somber; this news was indeed explosive.

Every crystal column is a matrix, each nurturing a demon as powerful as a saint. Once the crystal column is shattered, that demon will awaken!

Now, in the Sacred Heart Fairyland, there are at least hundreds of huge purple crystal columns. Does this not mean there are hundreds of saint-level demons in the Sacred Heart Fairyland?

Who can stand against that?

Breaking the purple crystal column, a demon emerges, but what if you don’t break the crystal column?

If the crystal column is not broken, it will continue to devour the life force of the entire world, converting it into energy, and hatching countless demons, continuing to erode this world!

The liquid splashed inside the purple crystal column, initially unknown and disadvantageous, can later be avoided; when the time comes to break through the demons’ defenses, you only need to send the strongest to destroy the purple crystal column while others stay away from the column to prevent being corrupted by the purple fluid.

But what about the awakened demon after the crystal is broken?

Break one, out comes a demon, break another, and another demon emerges, each demon comparable to a saint; what do we do?

From within the shattered crystal columns, the terrifyingly violent aura is growing increasingly intense, one can feel it; that demon is waking from its slumber.

Immortal Emperor fell silent for two seconds, then suddenly thundered across the Nine Heavens.

“Entire army retreat! Before retreating, destroy everything here, including the companions who were corrupted and killed, to prevent them from resurrecting as demons!”

Demon Emperor also commanded, “Demon Race heed my order, destroy everything and retreat immediately!”

Since these people are already dead, let them die completely.

Better to let them die like this than to resurrect as demons and fight against their former comrades. If they still have any consciousness, they would also accept this return to dust.

The heavily injured Immortal Demon Army all retreated towards the back, simultaneously using their own magic weapons, striking the ground with magnificent strength.

Lord Charm Erosion chuckled lightly, “Destroy everything, haha, too late!”

As if to prove her words, on the ground, countless warriors from both Immortal and Demon Clans who had been corrupted had firelight suddenly ignite in their dull eyes, the eyes melting instantly, replaced by leaping purple flames.

Their bodies, now horribly corrupted by the demonic mother’s fluid, suddenly moved.

On the ground, thousands of warrior corpses like clay statues suddenly lifted their heads in unison, looking up at the Sky, watching their former comrades-in-arms, eyes filled with fierce killing intent.

One by one, they each rose with great aura, their magic weapons once again flew up, attacking the sky with the familiar methods of combat from their past life and with immense power.

This sudden scene took everyone by surprise, but fortunately, just now Immortal Emperor had shouted, and everyone instantly realized that these corrupted and killed companions had been transformed into demons.

They were no longer their partners, no longer the comrades they fought with side by side; they were undead controlled by demonic consciousness, only thinking to kill themselves!

Countless magic weapons collided in midair, creating an intensely fierce scene.

Luckily, most of these corrupted warriors had relatively lower strength, and only those with strong power could resist the corruption, so their attacks didn’t cause much substantive damage, but it brought a huge spiritual impact to every surviving warrior from both Immortal and Demon Clans.

The comrades who died in battle could not rest, and now they fought against them as demons!

These demons were truly detestable!

They really deserved to die!

Little Demon Emperor Cheng Tuo shouted loudly, “Kill them, let them rest completely!”

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch also shouted, “They have been transformed into demons, our comrades are already dead, those alive now are demons who only want to kill us, everyone must not be merciful!”

Under the leadership of Little Demon Emperor and the Three Lords, everyone, filled with sorrow and anger, launched a fierce attack once again towards their former comrades who now filled the sky.

With this strike, countless bodies of warriors corrupted into demons shattered, scattering across Heaven and Earth, finally dying completely.

“Retreat!”

Just as everyone was preparing to retreat, a beam of purple light suddenly surged from the broken Crystal Column in the distance, and a huge figure covered in purple sticky fluid emitted a crazy roar, then transformed into a ball of purple light, rushing towards the Immortal Demon Alliance Army.
