Chapter 1070: Plotting Against the Demon Realm
Satan has been defeated, and very thoroughly at that!
Though his power is formidable, both Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan and the Earth Mother Goddess have a deeper understanding of the Dao by three points compared to him. Additionally, the Demon Clan is accustomed to a rampaging fighting style, especially as he emphasizes the Destruction Principle, allowing him to fight with abandon.
This wild fighting style makes him appear invincible, but if he fails to break through an opponent's defense head-on, he's hard-pressed to launch stronger attacks to destroy them. It's like a raging wave against a dam; as long as the dam isn't breached, it becomes an insurmountable barrier.
Even facing Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan alone, he would struggle to win, let alone now when he's joined by the oldest and strongest expert of this Star Domain, the Earth Mother Goddess. His defeat was, thus, inevitable!
Furthermore, when the Earth Mother Goddess appeared, Satan had already decided to retreat, having lost his confidence in victory. His escape now was just seizing the opportunity provided by circumstances, yet what caught him off guard was that Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan and the Earth Mother Goddess unleashed their full war power, intending to keep him there completely.
Defeating the strongest experts is no easy task; if he was determined to leave, they should know better than to think they could keep him. Satan was even prepared for significant losses in this defeat for the Dark Camp.
He believed that, by distracting Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan and the Earth Mother Goddess, the Creation Sovereigns and Immortal, Eternal strong experts would still hold a numerical advantage, allowing them to retreat calmly even if they couldn't win.
Although losses were inevitable, they weren't unacceptable. In the Dark Camp, battles and deaths are commonplace—so what if some strong experts die? Even without a massive war, experts fall during rivalries and conflicts. This time, it's just a bit more. At worst, they could later gather greater power from the three Great Worlds to retaliate.
Satan, however, only considered the possibility of the Dark army escaping, not expecting Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan and the Earth Mother Goddess to take on a deadly posture toward him.
Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan had the Nine Dragons Bell floating above his head and wielded the Innate Treasure Yin Yang Map, dividing Yin and Yang with endless transformations. At this moment, the power he unleashed was so overwhelming that even Satan found it tremendously difficult to cope.
The Earth Mother Goddess also unleashed her full war power. She had fought with Satan before, but at that time, a victory between them was impossible, leading to a mutual entanglement while other Creation Sovereigns and armies battled. Today, teaming up with Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan, she immediately saw the possibility of severely injuring Satan, so she unleashed all her power to the fullest extent.
Although she knew that if the strongest expert focused on fleeing, it would be impossible to stop them. Still, even severely injuring him would be worthwhile, especially since she and Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan had other plans.
Thus, both strongest experts clung to Satan relentlessly, continuously employing various powerful tactics, resulting in the Great Demon King being severely injured. In the end, unable to hold on, he couldn't protect his army and had to escape with all his might.
With Satan's escape, the entire Dark Camp descended into chaos, especially those Great Demon Kings entangled with Ghost Ancestor and Mituom Buddha, each bitterly lamenting.
The Biluo Great Powers were overwhelmingly strong in battle; they were no match at all. Now that even Satan Great Demon King had fled, they abandoned all pride and scattered in flight in all directions.
Of course, not every Creation could escape. For instance, the Hell Great Monarch was suppressed under the Innate Treasure Guiding Treasure Banner by Mituom Buddha, and another Great Demon King was trapped under Ghost Ancestor's Reincarnation Plate.
However, once the Great Demon Kings and Monarchs fled, the rest of Creation Sovereigns and Eternals lost all will to fight, seizing opportunities to escape in different directions.
The battlefield quickly fell into true chaos.
One could never expect the Dark Camp to maintain any formation. These guys are naturally cold and selfish; in times of crisis, they unleash these traits to the fullest, eager to let others attract the fire while they slip away safely.
At this moment, each using their methods, the battlefield became a mess. The Biluo powers' opponents took the opportunity to flee amidst the chaos, making pursuit impossible in such a chaotic battlefield, leaving them to strike at other Demon Gods at will.
Even while attacking, they needed to be cautious, as the Demon Gods scrambled madly, also disrupting the Immortal Camp, making a misdirected Divine Skill potentially harm their comrades.
Even the originally orderly demon soldier corps, numbering in the billions, was now in chaos.
The demon soldier corps, initially orderly during Satan's retreat command, started retreating in order. However, the remaining Biluo Cultivators, with the guidance of several Great Powers, launched an assault, especially the Immortals who had already assembled early on and now led by example.
Initially, the Biluo Cultivators could only chase from behind, but as the Demon Gods turned chaotic and some attempted to manipulate the army for cover, it inevitably disrupted their formations.
Moreover, they did not belong to the same world, and even within the same world, they consisted of different races and followed different Demon Gods. Naturally, they could never be of one mind. Truly thrown into disorder, they only cared about their escape, paying no heed to others.
In desperation, they might even kill kin blocking their way. Though it allowed some ruthless individuals to escape, it denied escape for many due to the chaos, leading nearly half of this elite coalition of the three Dark Worlds to be slaughtered by the pursuing Biluo Cultivators.
Those who escaped didn't get killed simply because in their desperate flight, they ran in all directions, willing to plunge into the depths of the Void for survival, heedless of whether they'd find their way back to their world.
The Demon God experts, thriving in chaotic environments, were better suited to the chaotic battlefield. Though many were slain by the Biluo side, more than half managed to escape.
Nonetheless, Biluo Cultivators had many methods, especially among those with great war power, unaffected by the battlefield's chaos. For them, killing any foe was worthwhile; any Demon God expert who came close would face their furious attacks.
Once targeted, escaping was truly challenging.
Take Li Miaozhen as an example; although the Hell's half-step Creation expert, whom she stopped, slipped away, her battle instincts were sharp. She relentlessly tracked the Hell Great Devil using the remnant Sorrow Blade Intent on the opponent, spinning an entangling web of sorrowful, misty thoughts and countless blade threads, trapping the opponent unable to break free.
As for Qin Feng, he didn't give the innate Demon God the chance to escape but instead took advantage of the chaos to summon nine great Spiritual Beasts from other battles to launch an assault on this innate Demon God.
He was already stronger than the opponent, and the innate Demon God was further confused by his curse, in poor condition. With the addition of nine powerful Spiritual Beasts, each with different abilities, the Demon God was no match. Qin Feng severed the demon body, shattered its head, and imprisoned its demon soul within the Four Symbols Pagoda.
The current Four Symbols Pagoda has also been refined into an innate Spiritual Treasure. Its original post-celestial powers of water, fire, wind, and earth have all transformed into innate attributes. Under the breeze of the innate Divine Wind and the refining of the innate Divine Fire, this innate Demon God's soul, however powerful, could only struggle to hold on, inevitably facing complete refining.
As for the demon body that was severed into pieces, he put it away, intending to find time after the battle to slowly refine it.
"Kill, kill for me!"
Ancestor Zhan Tian wielded a giant axe, leading many powerful beings to charge at a group of Demon Clan strongmen.
Along the way, there were constant phenomena of mighty Demon Gods falling, with Immortal and Eternal strongmen falling in defeat.
In such battles and pursuits, even the immortal life and eternal lifespan didn't wield much advantage, and Immortal experts who could become World Masters in a medium world and Eternal strongmen who could rule as Divine Kings in a high-ranking world could only flee in the face of Biluo's pursuit.
Those who failed to escape in time either died or were mortally wounded, with the casualties so severe that all beings were left aghast.
Especially those strongmen from middle and higher worlds affiliated with Biluo, some of whom had come with Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan to provide support, were deeply shocked by the sight of so many Demon God strongmen of equal rank perishing.
However, anyone observing would notice that although Biluo's side, under the leadership of Ancestor Zhan Tian, pursued relentlessly, they often eased off at crucial moments to avoid completely crushing the pursued forces and chased from other directions to ensure the opponents always retained a relatively complete group, preventing total scattering.
More importantly, although the Abyss and other areas also had many strongmen pursuing, the Biluo Great Powers from the other two sides did not match the numbers here.
Biluo intentionally pursued the Demon Realm strongmen, even during previous battles, when the Demon Realm faced the most powerful immortals, resulting in the most deaths among Demon Realm strongmen in this battle.
This pursuit lasted for many days, and regular cultivators from various Biluo factions had already returned to their worlds. Those continuing the chase were at least at the Immortal Realm level or higher.
Only strongmen of this level could pursue long distances, chasing from Biluo to near the Demon Realm!
Correct, with intentional and unintentional indulgence, Biluo's strongmen chased the fleeing Demon Gods across half a star domain right to the Demon Realm's vicinity!
Originally, crossing star domains relied on immortals and eternals, taking a long time, but under the lead of a Creation Realm Great Power, both the Demon Gods and the Biluo camp managed to cross nearly half a star domain in a few days.
The indulgence allowing these Demon Gods to escape here was deliberate, not because they couldn't catch up but to make it seem like they followed their opponents to the Demon Realm unintentionally, without making the other two dark worlds feel they were targeting the Demon Realm deliberately!
However, upon reaching near the Demon Realm, Biluo's strongmen immediately abandoned the previous leniency and pursued directly, attempting to encircle and annihilate the few hundred returning Demon Gods they had chased.
Although more Demon Gods survived, only this group was pursued and killed by them.
Ancestor Zhan Tian crashed forward fiercely, breaking through the void, and swung an axe fearlessly at the Great Demon King within the Demon God ranks.
The rest of the Biluo Great Powers, under a three-colored rainbow transmission, instantly traversed the space between both sides, directly teleporting in front of a group of Demon Gods, blocking their path to return to the Demon Realm.
"Quick, send a message back, request reinforcements!"
Numerous Demon Gods employed various magic methods to send messages, seeking help from within their realm.
Otherwise, there were only a few hundred strongmen, whereas the pursuing Biluo had two to three thousand Immortals and Eternals. How could they fight this?
The Biluo cultivators' methods were more exquisite than theirs, as they had experienced along the way, and now being pursued, their courage was shattered. They dared not resist Biluo with such few numbers!
...
Demon Realm.
In a lavish Demon God Palace, strongmen of the Fallen Angel Clan were feasting with Demon God strongmen from various races, chatting joyfully among themselves, entirely unaware of the Demon Gods being encircled by Biluo outside the realm.
Above, the leader of the Fallen Angel Clan, Lucifer, wore a faint smile, his extraordinarily handsome face hiding past arrogance, quietly conversing with a Great Demon King, occasionally exchanging a few chuckles.
At this moment, Lucifer and the Great Demon King simultaneously looked outside, seeing beams of various colored lights flying from the sky, many headed towards this great hall.
