Peng peng peng!
Qian Qi, Yuan Hai, and the others charged into the crowd of Giant Demons. Zhen Yuan was in a frenzy. Wherever the sword qi passed, countless Giant Demons fell to the ground. Blood instantly dyed the ground red and flowed along the ravines, gathering together like a river.
Cries of agony could be heard everywhere. Broken limbs, heads, and the like were scattered all over the place.
Su Yin didn't make a move. Instead, he felt that his chest was stuffy and uncomfortable.
He was just an ordinary transmigrator who grew up in a peaceful era. He had never seen such a scene before.
"What's wrong?" Gu Ling 'er, who was breathing heavily, saw that there was something wrong with his expression. She walked up to him and asked, "Is this your first time seeing such a scene?"
Su Yin nodded.
There was nothing to be embarrassed about. Even though he was strong, he was just a newbie who had just left the forbidden grounds.
Gu Ling 'er said, "Do you think it's cruel? Some of the Giant Demons had already admitted defeat, but they still chopped off their heads! "
Su Yin didn't say anything.
Gu Ling 'er pointed, "Do you see that Elder Yun?"
Su Yin looked over. An elder whose arm had been chopped off didn't seem to feel any pain. His remaining hand raised a sword and slashed at the Giant Demons.
In the blink of an eye, several Giant Demons were killed.
"180 years ago, he married Elder Zhao of the alliance. On the night of their wedding, they were ambushed by Giant Demons. His wife was killed, and his family of 32 was wiped out. Not a single one was left!"
Gu Ling 'er said, "At that time, Elder Zhao was already pregnant. Not only did the Giant Demons show no mercy, they even dug out the fetus and placed it in a transparent container, forcing Elder Yun to eat it."
"That Elder Sun's six-year-old daughter was caught by Giant Demons. They used a hemp rope to pass through her shoulder blades and hung her on a tree for an entire night. When she was discovered, her pants were wet and her face was filled with panic … Her eyes were filled with despair. She probably didn't even know what had happened and why she was hung on a tree."
"This …" Su Yin was shocked, and he was at a loss for words.
"They aren't the only examples. There are many more. Even though most of the Giant Demons were blocked by us outside Decimating Abyss City, there are still quite a few of them in the continent. "Qian Qi, you know him. His three year old sister was captured by a hidden troll agent. She was cut into pieces and died of a thousand cuts. The purpose was to lure him out of the school and kill him. Liyang, the older brother of the twins. In order to save them, he was ambushed by a Giant Demon and his heart was dug out … "
Gu Ling 'er said, "Let's not talk about the others. My teacher, Gu Yunqiu, had a son and a daughter who were killed by the Giant Demons. Almost all the relatives in the five servers died in the hands of the Giant Demons! Therefore, in this life, other than taking me as his disciple, he will not get close to anyone else. It's not that he doesn't want to, but he doesn't dare. "
"Against the Ogres, it's not that we're cruel, nor is it that we want to kill them. It's that we have no other choice, because this is … a war between races! Either you die or I die! "
"War of the races …" Su Yin was speechless.
That's right, this was destined to be a war that would lead to the extinction of a race. They could only give it their all.
"No one is a natural killer. Almost all of them will only think of counterattacking when they are forced to the point of no retreat. It's the same for humans. Ten thousand years ago, under the invasion of the Giant Demons, the human race was almost wiped out. If it wasn't for Lin Xuan leading countless experts and risking their lives for the human race and the continent, how could we be where we are today … "
Gu Ling 'er shook her head.
Although she was young, she knew a lot about history. For the past ten thousand years, the sacrifices and efforts of the human race for the war against the Giant Demons were deeply engraved in her heart.
It was because of this that she was not afraid of danger and risked her life to find trouble with the Giant Demons.
"If you surrender, you can be forgiven. When they killed ordinary people, have they ever forgiven them? If you give up resisting, you can save your life. Have the ordinary people they killed begged for forgiveness? When they killed, burned, and robbed, have they ever considered how many innocent people were killed? "
Gu Ling 'er sighed. "For the past ten thousand years, although the number of Giant Demons that died in the hands of humans is not small, the number of humans that died in their hands is even greater! Although I am not yet eighteen years old, I have seen too many deaths since I followed my master into the Spirit Abyss! Not to mention anything else, the eight palace masters will change every fifty years on average. It's not because they died of old age, but because … they were killed! "
"My master once had four uncle-masters and five junior-apprentice brothers, all gone … Almost all of the eight palace masters of the Qianyuan Alliance were attacked by the Giant Demons. They were strong and could withstand it, but their relatives and friends couldn't. Most of them died unnatural deaths!"
"They knew what would happen if they became palace masters. Did they retreat? No! They knew that the more Giant Demons they killed, the greater the revenge they would suffer. Did they give up? Neither! "
"So, as long as we can gain the upper hand, we can't be soft-hearted. Otherwise, not only will we die, but there will also be more ordinary people and more innocent people … Humans are already standing at the top of the cliff. Behind them is a bottomless abyss. We can't take a single step back!"
"I understand …" Su Yin sighed. The nervousness in his eyes was no longer there. Instead, it was firm.
It wasn't that they wanted to kill, but that they had to kill to stop killing.
Only in this way could they protect themselves and their clansmen.
After a while, Su Yin thought of something and said, "I still don't understand. According to what I know, the Spirit Abyss Realm and the Qianyuan Continent only met by accident. The blood of the human race is helpful to the Giant Demons' cultivation, and the spiritual energy of the Spirit Abyss Realm is helpful to the human race. Even so, it's not like they have to kill each other. Why … do they have to kill each other?"
The Giant Demons could use other methods to improve other than killing humans. The Spirit Abyss Realm appeared once every five years, and every time it appeared, it would gather countless spirit veins. Even if the Giant Demons gathered all of them, they wouldn't be able to gather all of them. It shouldn't be a problem for the human race to collect some, so why did they have to fight to the death?
Logically speaking, there was no reason for the two races to kill each other!
"It's not us who have to fight to the death, it's them!"
Gu Ling 'er said, "In the past, the human race also wanted to negotiate and coexist peacefully. Unfortunately, the other party didn't allow it. According to the information from our informants, they did this to survive, but as for the specific reason, I don't know. "
"Survive?" Su Yin fell silent.
Survive … If that was the reason, then there must be a powerful force behind the Giant Demons that could easily wipe them out, far more powerful than the human race!
It was just like how the Trisolarans were powerful, but they were no more than ants in front of the Singer Civilization.
It was because they knew this result that they risked their lives to fight to the death.
"Could it be … the Immortal Realm?"
A thought popped up in his mind.
He didn't know where the channel that appeared in the Azure Sea through Wu Yuan's blood sacrifice led to, but he couldn't think of any other place that could gather so many spirit veins at once.
If this was the Immortal Realm, and he entered it, then appeared in the Demon Imperial City …
Could the Immortal Realm be in the depths of the Spirit Abyss?
If that was the case, it would explain the origin of the Spirit Abyss Realm … It must have something to do with the Immortal Realm! That was why they could find immortal items and even treasures like immortal herbs.
However … if that was the case, if the Immortal Realm really wanted to wipe out the human race, they could do it with a single finger. Why would they send the Giant Demons to do it?
Besides … the gap between the human race and the Immortal Realm was too big. There was no reason for them to offend the Giant Demons and send them to do it!
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
"Could it be … that it has something to do with those lingering wills?"
Su Yin rubbed his glabella.
He just wanted to be an ordinary person. He didn't expect to be dragged into such a huge vortex.
While his thoughts were running wild, the battle between the two sides was coming to an end.
Marshal Qiong Ye had been killed, and the five armies had been misdirected by the Demon Imperial Seal and Demon Imperial Sword. They had been ambushed by the humans, so it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.
However, even though the humans had won, they had suffered heavy losses. The total number of casualties had exceeded two hundred thousand!
Of course, exchanging two hundred thousand for two million Giant Demons was a huge victory. It was a victory that hadn't happened in the past ten thousand years.
"We won!"
"With the Five Armies destroyed, the Giant Demons are like tigers that have lost their claws and teeth. Their destruction is just around the corner!"
"After ten thousand years of war, it's finally coming to an end. I really want to rest …"
"I really want to go drink some wine and call a few girls to give me a massage!"
"Elder Liu, you're usually so sanctimonious, but I didn't expect your thoughts to be so dirty. How can you face your sister-in-law and the soldiers who look up to you? Hmph, I only have one thing to say to such immoral thoughts: When are you going? Bring me along! "
"Bring me along too …"
…
Cheers rang out all around.
Su Yin looked over.
There was blood and corpses everywhere, but many people were as happy as children. Some had broken legs, some had lost arms, but no matter how painful it was, they still had smiles on their faces.
It wasn't easy for the humans to resist for ten thousand years.
Looking at the cheering crowd, Gu Ling 'er relaxed, and a smile appeared on her sweet face.
Hu hu hu!
A few figures flew over and arrived in front of Su Yin, bowing to the ground.
"Little Brother Su Yin, if not for you … we might have been killed, and the humans wouldn't have been able to achieve such a victory. You are the greatest contributor this time …"
Gu Yunqiu, Shen Moping, and the other Hall Masters looked at the youth in front of them with fiery gazes.
Although this person and the Three Beasts hadn't made a move, they knew that if not for this person, they would have died at the hands of Azure Mark and the others. They wouldn't have been able to snatch the Devil Imperial Sword and Devil Imperial Seal, causing the entire Giant Demon Race to fall into chaos.
It could be said that without this person, there wouldn't have been this victory, and the situation between the Giant Demon Race and the humans would have been reversed.
This person was the greatest contributor, and he was irreplaceable.
"You're too polite …" Su Yin shook his head.
He just happened to be there!
"I'm not being polite, I'm being sincere. If not for you, our human race would have sacrificed at least ten times more soldiers!" Hall Master Feng Changxi said.
Having fought with the Giant Demons many times, he was very clear about their combat strength.
Without the support of the Devil Imperial Sword and Devil Imperial Seal, they wouldn't have dared to attack so quickly, let alone have such a great effect.
"Elder Feng, you're really good at planning …" Su Yin smiled bitterly. Before he could finish speaking, a roar resounded in the air. Following that, a tall figure appeared in the air. "Gu Yunqiu, are you going to fight? Fine, I'll fight you to the death! Do you dare to fight me? "
Rumble!
The sky seemed to be torn apart as a shocking aura spread out.
The Sky Fall Demon Emperor … had finally arrived!
"Alright!" Gu Yunqiu's eyes were like lightning as he floated up into the air. His aura also spread out, causing the surrounding space to freeze.
Although his injuries weren't healed, his opponent had also lost the Devil Imperial Seal and Devil Imperial Sword. If they really fought, it was still unknown who would win.
"Hehe, you only killed a few soldiers. Do you really think you've won?
"Have you asked us old bones?"
You've suffered heavy injuries to kill so many ordinary people. What are your chances of winning against us?
As long as you're all killed, victory will still be ours! "
Sou sou sou sou!
Following a series of laughter, the space was torn apart, and more than a hundred demons appeared. Every single one of them emanated a heavy aura that exerted great pressure on those who saw them.
They were all ninth level Pseudo Immortal experts!
"How can there be so many experts? Impossible … "
"After fighting with them for so many years, most of the ninth level Pseudo Immortals are still in the camp. Didn't they all die? How can this be? "
Upon seeing this sight, everyone's face warped in shock.
The reason why the humans and demons were able to last for ten thousand years was because they were evenly matched. Ninth level Pseudo Immortals were the most important to them. Even if there was a gap between them, it wouldn't be too big.
How could there be more than a hundred of them?
Wasn't the gap a little too big?
"No, that's not right. There's a lotus embroidered on the chest of that person's clothes. 'When the lotus blooms, heads fall to the ground.' Could it be the Lotus Demon? Didn't he die three thousand years ago? "
"That person is surrounded by pitch-black demonic flames. Even the space around him is distorted by the flames. In the past ten thousand years, there's only one demon who can do this … the Sky Fall Demon! However, he died two thousand years ago. Furthermore, he died at the hands of my ancestor's ancestor. "
"I've seen a portrait of him before. He's the Jie Mo Xi Demon, The Great Demon from five thousand years ago. I didn't expect him to still be alive …"
…
Soon after, everyone reacted and exclaimed in shock.
Among the hundred over demons before them, more than 90% of them were recorded in books as having fallen. They didn't expect them to still be alive.
Moreover, each one was stronger than the last!
This was a little terrifying.
Gu Yunqiu's eyes narrowed as he reacted. "You've awakened them?"
"It's not just the humans who have sealed their experts and put them into a deep sleep. The Giant Demon Race has many of them as well! Since you want to fight, let's fight … "
The Sky Fall Demon Emperor harrumphed coldly.
The two races had been fighting for ten thousand years. Who didn't have some trump cards?
Some peak experts were nominally dead, but in reality, they were sealed with special methods. Once they encountered danger, they would awaken and fight. The humans had them, and the Giant Demon Race had them as well.
"Don't tell me that without awakening those people and making preparations, the human race will be annihilated today …"
The Sky Fall Demon Emperor wasn't in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he looked around and said.
The reason he hadn't rushed over after leaving the Lingyuan River was to awaken these people. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't be a match for the Three Beasts. However … with the addition of the hundred peak ninth level Void Immortal experts, the outcome might not be certain!
"Haha, since it's a decisive battle, how can we be left out?"
"Gu Yunqiu, you should be my junior, right? Congratulations on leading the human race to such a great victory. I've heard that you've done well."
"I didn't expect to see this scene when I woke up again. Even if I die in battle again, it's worth it …"
…
Before the Sky Fall Demon Emperor could finish speaking, a series of laughter rang out. More than thirty experts of the human race flew over, their auras soaring into the sky. They weren't any weaker than Gu Yunqiu and the others.
They were the sealed experts of the human race!
"Zhang Guangquan, you're still alive? It's great that you're still alive. The grudges between us can be settled! "
"Blacksilver Demon, you killed my people back then and hung their heads on the city wall. This hatred won't disappear! Today, it's either you die or I die! "
"Come! I'll let you see what I'm capable of. "
The moment these people appeared, the stalemate between the two sides was immediately broken.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! When enemies met, their eyes blazed with hatred.
Everyone was at peak ninth level Void Immortal. They had lived for countless years, and they didn't hold back at all. The battle had just begun, but it had already reached its climax.
"Isn't the lifespan of a cultivator only a little more than a thousand years? What's with living for a few thousand years? "
Su Yin didn't expect such a change. He couldn't help but look at the girl beside him.
Gu Ling 'er explained, "The lifespan of a Void Immortal expert isn't too long, only a little more than a thousand years. However, they used a sealing technique!"
"A sealing technique?"
"Yes. It's a special secret technique that can seal one's consciousness, strength, and cultivation. This way, one's metabolism will be lowered, and the consumption will be greatly reduced. This can extend one's lifespan. However, it's not an unlimited increase. It can increase a person's lifespan from a thousand years to ten thousand years. That's ten times the lifespan! "
Gu Ling 'er said. "However, due to the lack of consciousness, it's no different from being dead. Many cultivators would rather die in battle than live like that!"
Would a cultivator who stood at the peak of the world choose to hibernate for three thousand years, or would he live happily for three hundred years?
Without a doubt, most people would choose the latter.
Only with consciousness could one be considered to be alive. If one was in a vegetative state, one would have to fight as soon as one woke up. What was the point of living for another two thousand years?
Even so, there were still many experts who were willing to do it!
There was no other reason … They were willing to fight for mankind!
Only by concealing themselves would they be able to catch others off guard.
"What about you?"
Coming to a realization, Su Yin turned to look at The Great Demon of Bliss.
Since everyone had a limited lifespan, why was that fellow still alive after eight thousand years?
"I'm a demonic cultivator, so my lifespan is longer than that of humans. Besides, after being sealed, I spent most of my time in hibernation, just like how they were sealed …"
Knowing what Zhang Xuan was getting at, The Great Demon of Bliss quickly explained, "Of course, more importantly, I sacrificed my soul to a Celestial artifact. Under the nourishment of the Celestial artifact, my lifespan will be increased significantly …"
Be it humans or demons, there weren't many Celestial artifacts, and most of them were inherited. It was difficult to tame them, let alone sacrifice them.
