Although the Golden Crow Demon God had no intention of engaging in a great battle, she wanted to single-handedly quell the war, ensuring the Earth Evolvers would return without success. Such a situation was unacceptable.
Considering the efforts and sacrifices Earth had made to both avenge and capture the Demon God Realm, rely retreating upon the enemy’s words would be inconceivable. Should the higher-ups agree, they’d face being pumled by top martial artists upon returning.
Yet, the threat from the Golden Crow Demon God could not be ignored. If the battle were to continue and she did indeed awaken the third Demon God, trouble would indeed arise, possibly leading to a counterattack from the Demon God Realm.
"Golden Crow Demon God, don’t let these Earth people go. They are cruel and wicked, having slaughtered countless of our Great Demons, with dozens of Demon Kings perished. Obviously, they seek to conquer the Demon God Realm. We have no retreat now and must fight to the death."
Shouted an injured Demon King, refusing a ceasefire. He believed that with the Golden Crow Demon God’s presence, victory was within reach, and as long as their strong opponent was held back, the remaining Demon Kings could still deliver a devastating blow to Earth.
"The realm war has erupted, and both sides have already ford a great enmity, rendering a ceasefire aningless at this point. We might as well annihilate this group of Evolvers and massacre all of the Earth’s humans to prevent any resurgence seeking revenge."
There’s considerable support among the Demon Kings for continuing the battle—not necessarily out of a desire to risk their lives, but because circumstances have left no choice.
If they don’t seize this opportunity to eliminate this significant threat from Earth Evolvers, will they wait until Li Yi recovers and achieves the Demon God Realm before comncing war again?
At that mont, even summoning a second Demon God may not suffice against him.
Therefore, despite the heavy losses of the Demon God Realm, any sensible Demon King knows retreat is not an option.
However, though the Golden Crow Demon God’s expression remained cold, she sighed inwardly at the opinions of the group. Indeed, there is a third Demon God within the Demon God Realm; however, the Fire Phoenix Demon God is currently undergoing a nirvana within the sun, seeking rebirth, and unable to partake in this realm war.
As for the forr Qilin Demon God and Black Tortoise Demon God, they’ve one after another passed into repose.
Although Demon Gods have endless lifespans, their Demon Souls gradually erode with ti, eventually dissipating their will, leaving behind only an empty husk of a Demon God. To alter this fate, Demon Gods must rely on slumber to prolong their existence or strive to break through to higher realms.
Yet, Demon Gods represent the pinnacle of this world, with no higher stage to reach, thus eventual repose is inevitable.
Of course, having a Demon God enter repose takes an exceedingly long ti, a hundred thousand years or even hundreds of thousands of years.
Yet, the Demon God Realm has existed for so long that even powerful Demon Gods cannot withstand the world’s transformations. As of now, the number of surviving Demon Gods in the Demon God Realm can be counted on one hand, while Demon Kings, hindered by bloodline constraints, find it nearly impossible to break through to the Demon God Realm.
Over ti, the decline of the Demon God Realm was inevitable; it’s just not yet as serious as it will beco, but it’s a far cry from its peak era.
"Silence!" The Golden Crow Demon God proclaid coldly, "If the war continues, the Demon God Realm will truly be annihilated. Have you Demon Kings no care for the realm’s survival?"
At these words, the group of demons fell silent.
Nonetheless, a bold Demon King gritted his teeth and remarked, "Honored Demon God, let the Demon God Realm be destroyed then. At worst, we’ll capture Earth and rebuild the Demon God Realm there."
The Golden Crow Demon God narrowed her eyes, remaining silent.
"Capture Earth? Quite audacious. Do you really think that a newfound Demon God in your realm guarantees victory? As for summoning the third Demon God, frankly, whether true or false remains uncertain. Trying to deceive us with re words is sowhat naive."
At this mont, the Eastern Pole Venerable, previously reserved, now spoke forcefully and dominantly, "Golden Crow Demon God, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. I now grant you one hour to summon the third Demon God. If you achieve that, we can discuss the ceasefire further."
As a seasoned Enlightened One, he would never retreat just because of a few words from the opponent. He must witness the ergence of the third Demon God himself to believe the Demon God Realm indeed has the ability to go all-out in a desperate struggle.
If not, he would replace the Taiyi Heavenly Venerate and battle against this Golden Crow Demon God; the war would continue.
Beside him, the Great Perfection, a few Martial Saints, and five powerful militaristic individuals agreed as they attentively watched the Golden Crow Demon God’s reaction. If it’s just a bluff, then apologies, today the Demon God Realm is dood.
Within the command ship, Earth’s high command remained silent, watching the proceedings. The Eastern Pole Venerable was correct—in dealing with the summoning of a third Demon God would they continue ceasefire discussions.
The Golden Crow Demon God realized at this mont that instilling fear in the Earth side alone was indeed challenging. In hindsight, she should have awakened earlier; the Purple Dragon Demon God was still around then, and together they might’ve repelled the formidable enemy.
"Since you all insist, then this Demon God will fulfill your wish."
Now cornered, the Golden Crow Demon God had to make a move. Otherwise, showing weakness implicitly inford these Earth people that the Demon God Realm is only left with her as the final Demon God. Once exposed, the consequences would indeed be dire.
Subsequently, she pointed a finger, transforming a ray of True Sun Fire into a golden light that swiftly soared into the sky, vanishing from everyone’s sight in an instant.
Even the Eastern Pole Venerable rely sensed that this demon power was directed towards the sun.
"You have just one hour, after which the war will continue," declared the Eastern Pole Venerable, his voice resonating across thousands of miles for all those spread across this continent to hear.
This also ant that everyone had two hours of respite.
Seizing this ti, the seriously wounded were imdiately taken back to the Immortal Dao Battleship for recuperation, while the weary hurriedly rested. In these two hours, combating power must be restored at the fastest rate, as it was likely the war would continue.
Of course, it’s not just Earth that’s in this state; the sa is true for the Demon God Realm, but they are less prepared and unable to handle these issues thodically.
The Golden Crow Demon God is currently motionless, her golden eyes fixed on the Eastern Pole Venerable. Similarly, the Eastern Pole Venerable confronts the Golden Crow Demon God, preventing the opponent from making a sudden move.
"An hour. I wonder if the Taiyi Heavenly Venerate can recover a bit," the Eastern Pole Venerable thought to himself. He was willing to give them an hour, primarily to let Li Yi pass through this dangerous period.
He also dared not allow too much ti, lest the people of the Demon God Realm notice anything amiss.
An hour was a very short ti.
But for both sides, the atmosphere was particularly heavy. The battles on the battlefield had subsided, and now the surroundings were eerily silent, with only lingering forces raging between heaven and earth, stirring up gales and lightning. The fragnted earth spews magma, and earthquakes continue... as if this world has reached its end, about to perish.
However, these harsh climate conditions are nothing. As long as the battles end, sending out a few experts can realign the continent, improve the earth and sky, and restore everything here to vibrant life.
Yet, the ultimate destiny of this world depends on the subsequent developnts.
At the sa ti.
In an Immortal Dao Battleship recuperating, Li Yi used the significant powers of the Life Water to restore so strength, while also mobilizing his scarce remaining Divine Power to forcibly expel the remnant Demon God power within.
Without the influence of the Demon God’s power, his cracked wounds began to heal rapidly. The terrifying regenerative ability brought by his Golden Flesh and Jade Bone was now showing, and in less than an hour, his bodily injuries had completely healed.
But although the wounds had healed, his body seed drained, and he constantly exuded a sense of weakness.
Even with the aid of the Power of Incense, Li Yi couldn’t bloom the Mana Flower, and his strength was sowhat weaker than before the incense was added.
"Divine Power is contained within the Divine Blood, and this ti its burning might have wounded my foundation." Li Yi was very aware of his condition. Now, the only thing he was glad about was his simultaneous cultivation. Even though most of the Divine Power was reduced, with his cultivation at the Tri-Floral Realm, he remained formidable.
However, he could no longer fight against the Demon God, and now he estimates he can only defeat a Demon King.
"But judging by the situation, it was all worth it. At least, one Demon God from the other side has indeed been defeated and fled. Next, Eastern Pole Venerable only needs to act according to plan... Wait a minute, what’s happening outside, why has the battle stopped?"
Li Yi finally regained so state and thought he would see Earth’s side win a complete victory, capturing the Demon God Realm entirely. But when he looked outside through the Intelligent Brain Hongji, he discovered the battle had indeed cald down.
Soon, he found out why.
In the distant sky, a female demon from the Demon Race clad in golden feathers was now confronting the Eastern Pole Venerable.
"Another Demon God?" Li Yi’s face slightly changed. Previously, while recuperating, he was unaware of external matters. Now he saw the existence of that Demon God.
At once, he piloted the Immortal Dao Battleship to return from behind the battlefield.
"It’s the Immortal Dao Battleship that Li Yi is riding. What’s going on, why is he coming back again, wasn’t he seriously injured before?" So Evolvers were puzzled.
On the command ship, the Earth officials imdiately noticed this situation.
"Li Yi, how is your health? Do you need help? It’s the ceasefire ti now; the situation here is under control thanks to you driving away the Purple Dragon Demon God. Otherwise, dealing with this second Demon God would have been tough," Zhao Yongsheng imdiately asked.
"I’m fine, just that my strength is sowhat impaired. My body is almost entirely recovered. I ca over to take this opportunity to have a look; rest assured, I know my limits," Li Yi said.
Xiao Jianguo said: "Li Yi, after the battle ends, we will take you to World No. 30 for recuperation. That world is full of opportunities, maybe it will help you."
"Alright, but now’s not the ti to talk about this." Li Yi, riding the Immortal Dao Battleship, quickly arrived at the frontline of the battlefield.
As the hatch opened, he stepped on a Xiangyun and flew out.
Upon his appearance, the Divine Blood Warriors from the Barbaric World were imdiately invigorated. They enthusiastically hailed the Red Mountain God’s na with great fervor because they had witnessed the Red Mountain God beheading a more powerful Purple Dragon than a One God.
Such a feat was more than enough to earn their worship.
"Taiyi Heavenly Venerate." Other Great Perfection cultivators also saluted him, showing extre respect.
"Li Yi’s injuries are alright, that’s great." So friends who knew Li Yi from before also breathed a sigh of relief seeing his condition looking good.
"Taiyi."
Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi imdiately flew over to greet him, guarding his sides to ensure Li Yi’s safety.
