The most shocking thing was not that they all chose to defend the Demon Lord in unison, but that none of the profound practitioners in the Imperial Heaven Realm hesitated when making the choice.
This means that this choice was not made by interference from outsiders, nor was it made by forcing oneself, but rather was the first reaction from the bottom of one's soul.
Staying doesn't mean a chance of death... but almost no chance of survival!
At this time, Yan Tianxiao's imperial voice rang out, "All the Yama Demons, Yama Ghosts, Yama Guards, and Yama Soldiers of the Yama Realm, listen to my orders. Those who wish to stay and fight for the Demon Lord, start preparing for battle immediately. However, there is little chance of survival in this battle, and we can only hope to gain some safety for the Demon Lord."
“Those who wish to leave, after returning to the Northern Territory, must let future generations remember this generation of Yama, this generation of the Northern Divine Territory! They must also shoulder the responsibility of inheriting Yama’s bloodline and reviving the Yama lineage!”
As soon as his voice fell, no one in the Yama Realm left.
"..." Yan Tianxiao turned his head and looked at the Yan Mo disciple whose expression quickly changed from panic to determination, and his heart was filled with excitement.
“Haha, it seems that everyone thinks the same thing.” Fen Daoqi laughed. He turned around, glanced at the group of Eclipse Moons, and said with emotion: “Back then, the Burning Moon God Emperor fell at the hands of the Demon Lord. Our Burning Moon Realm’s submission was also filled with deep humiliation, unwillingness, and even resentment.”
"Now, darkness has broken through the boundary, and the devil's light is shining in the sky. In these few short months, every moment is a luxury that our ancestors never had in their lifetime. Compared to this, the past grudges are as small as dust."
"Now, even if it is only out of admiration and respect, I, Fen Daoqi, am willing to sacrifice the rest of my life for the Demon Lord!"
Fen Daoqi's words were quite calm and peaceful, and it was this kind of peace that exuded a sense of no regrets and no resentment that made people almost empathize with him.
"The Demon Lord has led us here, which is a blessing from heaven that can never be repaid! It's time for us to fight for the Demon Lord!" shouted a Moon Eclipse.
No one retreated from the Yama Realm, and no one retreated from the Burning Moon Realm... Unlike the Emperor Heaven Realm, these are the two great king realms.
All the sea gods in Canglan were stunned, and then one of them lowered his voice and said, "This is... a double act, right?"
"Yes, how is this possible!" another sea god quickly echoed.
As members of the same king realm, they knew very well that the king realm feared the most, that the inheritance was cut off. As the king realm gods, they were the most afraid of death in the world... Because their cultivation and status were at the top of the world, how could they be easily destroyed?
Not to mention the vain death of ten people.
"..." Cang Shitian remained silent, but his eyebrows kept twitching.
"That's right! It's time for us to fight for the Demon Lord!" The deafening roar instantly drowned out the sneer of the Sea God.
“The Lord of Demons has given us a new life and saved the Northern Territory. It is impossible to repay him in a hundred lifetimes! Now that the Lord of Demons is in danger, if we abandon him... what difference would we make from those ungrateful animals in the Three Gods Territories back then!”
"When I left the Northern Territory, I had no intention of returning alive. Now that I have set foot in the Eastern and Southern Divine Territories, I am already proud of my life. If I can die for the Demon Lord, I will have no regrets even if I die a thousand times!"
The eyes of the King of the Disaster Realm, Huo Tianxing, were like blazing flames, and his voice was fierce but carefree: "If I sever my bloodline, I will not be able to face my ancestors. But if I abandon the Demon Lord today because of my greed for life, I am afraid that I will be scolded and spurned by my ancestors."
He patted his proudest son on the shoulder and said, "Huang'er, today we are not fighting for the disaster of Huang or the Northern Territory, but only for the Demon Lord...Are you afraid?"
“I’m afraid.” Young Master Huohuang nodded, then slowly shook his head, his eyes more determined than ever before: “But if it were the Demon Lord, even if I were ten times more afraid, I would never retreat even a single step!”
He turned around, raised his arms high, and said in a thunderous voice: "Men of the Wasteland, we have created miracles and witnessed history under the guidance of the Demon Lord. We have no regrets even if we die. Today, I will fight for the Demon Lord!"
The blood and energy of the Xuanzang from the Desolate Realm surged up, their faces and eyes turned red, and they roared in unison: "Fight for the Demon Lord!"
The sound waves were originally only among the mysterious practitioners in the Disaster Realm, but the next moment, they suddenly spread rapidly to the surroundings along with the blood and energy.
"Fight for the Demon Lord!"
"Fight for the Demon Lord!"
It was as if blood and fire were spreading across the prairie and raging waves were surging. The loud shouts instantly shook the Canglan Divine Realm, and in the next moment, it seemed as if the entire sky was being stirred.
"Fight for the Demon Lord!!"
"Fight for the Demon Lord!!!"
All the Northern Star Realms, all the Northern Demons… their roars became more resolute and more soul-stirring than the last.
Their fists were clenched, and demonic energy was lingering. The shock, fear, and despair that had been so intense just now had disappeared without a trace. On their faces and in their pupils, there was only a look of
The fighting spirit and determination are as fierce as fire.
The Canglan Divine Realm was shaking. Outside the Canglan Divine Realm, countless Canglan Mystics cast their eyes over there, shocked and at a loss.
Just like the day when they stepped out of the Northern Divine Region together, all the profound practitioners of the Northern Divine Region once again united their wills on this day and at this moment.
And this time, it will be even faster and more shocking.
The demons gathered together, and the demonic aura was overwhelming... However, one side retreated without any shame, while the other side was in a desperate situation with no chance of survival. The king realms of the Northern Territory, the upper star realms, and even those middle-level realm kings who had no right to participate in this battle... not a single person retreated.
Even Qianye Ying'er was stunned for a long time and couldn't believe it.
In her original estimation, it was already a great success if half of them were willing to stay... After all, what was next was a real death situation!
She confirmed again and again that there was not a trace of bewitching evil spirit in Chi Wuyao’s words and demonic eyes. Instead, she deliberately suppressed the devilish aura that naturally emanated from her body.
"This... this is..." Canglan Sea God and the gods' messengers looked around in panic, the shock in their hearts was beyond words.
He shoulders the heavy responsibility of inheriting and leading the upper star realm and even the king realm, but he would rather die than abandon the Demon Lord... This is not something that can be explained by the word "loyalty". He simply regards the "Demon Lord" as a belief that cannot be desecrated or betrayed.
In addition to being shocked and unbelievable, they were surrounded by the demons' screams of faith. They suddenly began to feel like a thorn in their backs, and gradually, they felt a little ashamed.
With the release of the Eternal Sky projection, everyone in the world knew about it... Even history would never forget how they had repaid Yun Che's kindness with hatred.
However, these Northern Territory profound practitioners, these dark demons who had been defined by them as "evil", "filthy", and "intolerable by heaven and earth" since ancient times, were explaining to them in the most direct and shocking way what it meant to repay a favor with one's own death.
Their eyes met each other inadvertently, and then dropped at the same time.
For the first time, even those who were at the top of the divine world and made the rules had their concept of "demon" overturned.
“Huh…” Cang Shitian finally made some movement. He murmured to himself, “What an amazing cohesion, what an enviable loyalty. There is nothing more luxurious than this in the world.”
"Master, what should we do?" the nearest Poseidon whispered.
"If you don't decide now, it will be too late." said another sea god.
“…” Cang Shitian raised his eyes and looked towards Chi Wuyao.
Sensing his gaze directed at her, Chi Wuyao turned her head and nodded slightly at him. Her eyes were calm, without the slightest hint of coldness or warning. She did not pause and continued to look at the excited demons.
"Haha, you are worthy of being the Demon Queen of the Northern Territory. You are so powerful." Cang Shitian had a complicated expression and then muttered something in a low voice that others could not understand.
On the other side, the Six Star God had already arrived beside Caizhi.
The leading Tianxuan Star God Aster said to Caizhi, “Little Princess, if you retreat, we will retreat. If you want to stay, we will stay with you.”
Caizhi glanced at them sideways, then turned her gaze towards Yun Che's direction. The aura on her body began to become chaotic and agitated.
The Six-Star God has got the answer.
The emotions of the Brahma Kings and the Brahma Emperor's envoys were much more complicated. They directly sent a message to Gu Zhu: "Mr. Gu, what choice will the God Emperor make?"
"Stay." Gu Zhu said calmly, "If you dare to retreat, you will be inflicted with the wrath of the young lady."
The Brahma King's messengers dared not say anything more and could only sigh inwardly.
Alas, how pitiful it is that our Brahma Emperor God Realm has ended up in such a disaster-ridden place.
“Everyone, please don’t act on impulse!” Chi Wuyao shouted softly, suppressing all the roars: “The core of our Northern Divine Region is gathered here. Do you know that if you all destroy this place, what future will there be for the Northern Divine Region!”
"The Queen of Demons, there is no need to say more!" Yan Tianxiao waved his hand and said, "Our hands and feet are in our own hands, and our lives and strength are also in our own hands. Our minds are determined, and we will never waver even if the Queen of Demons orders us to do so."
“Demon Queen, there is no need to persuade us anymore. Please give the order.” Fen Daoqi said solemnly, “Although the strength of the Western Divine Region is far beyond our expectations, the Demon Lord is the reincarnation of the Demon Emperor, a man of miracles! With our bodies and the wisdom of the Demon Queen, we may be able to ensure the Demon Lord’s safe return.”
“As long as we can hold on until the Demon Lord safely leaves the Eternal Sky Pearl, then, even if we have to use our bodies as a barrier, we will swear to help the Demon Lord escape… As long as the Demon Lord is safe, even if we die, the Northern Divine Region will still have endless hope!”
Everyone resonated with Fen Daoqi's words, and roared again to shake the sky.
“That’s right!” Tian Guhu shouted, “Please rest assured, Demon Queen. Even if we shed our last drop of blood, we will never die in vain! We will definitely wait until the Demon Lord returns... Please believe us!”
Chi Wuyao looked around the entire place for a long time before she finally sighed and said slowly, “Since that’s the case, then we will all use our strength and will to hold out until the Demon Lord returns.”
Everyone's voices fell silent, and all the demons clenched their hands, with veins popping out on their foreheads... Fear of death is the nature of all spirits. When faith surpasses the fear of death, fear will turn into the most surging and unstoppable flames, burning the blood in the body.
Chi Wuyao raised her hand, and the magic oracle descended with irresistible magic power: “Everyone, listen to my order. Return to your own places immediately and prepare your weapons, mystical instruments, and your own bodies to their best.”
"God Emperor Shitian, immediately activate the Canglan barrier and disperse the mysterious people outside the Canglan Divine Domain as much as possible."
"In this battle, we must defend with all our strength. Without orders, no one is allowed to leave the barrier, let alone attack without authorization!"
"Within three quarters of an hour, all the gods will gather here again! The gods below will retreat to the back and be ready to control the mysterious weapons and formations of all realms at any time!"
…………
Following a series of commands, the Northern Territory's profound practitioners scattered in all directions, and the Ten Directions Canglan Realm was in turmoil.
Chi Wuyao passed through the barrier and walked into the palace.
"Yan One, Yan Two, Yan Three, you don't have to stay here for the time being. From now on, follow me." She ordered the three Yan ancestors.
Qianye Ying'er also walked in at this time. When she heard this, her brows sank and she quickly stopped him: "Wait! Anyone can move, but not these three!"
Yan One, Yan Two, and Yan Three had just stood up, but when they heard Qianye Ying'er's words, they all retracted their necks in unison.
“I know what you’re worried about.” Chi Wuyao said, “But these three people are the ones who can most shock the Western Divine Region. I need to take them with me… to meet the Dragon Emperor.”
Qianye Ying'er frowned: "You want to personally..."
"That won't work either." Qianye Ying'er still shook her head: "At least one must be left."
“Okay.” Chi Wuyao followed her lead and said, “Yan San, you stay. Remember, no matter what happens next, no one and no force is allowed to touch this place.”
"Yes." Yan San accepted the order.
"Let Yan Yi stay." Qianye Ying'er said.
“…Then we should both take a step back.” Chi Wuyao said helplessly, “Yan Er, you stay here to protect the Demon Lord. Yan Yi and Yan San, you two should follow behind me.”
"Yes, yes." Yan Er took the order and sat back.
This time, Qianye Ying'er didn't say anything.
Only Yan San looked aggrieved.
“Chi Wuyao, you are indeed amazing.” Qianye Ying’er’s eyes revealed a complexity that was difficult to conceal: “To be honest, today’s situation was completely beyond my expectations.”
“No,” Chi Wuyao shook her head. “I’ve said before, I’m not as capable as you think. Their willingness to fight to the death for the Demon Lord was not something I forced upon them. I simply channeled what already existed in their will.”
“Moreover,” Chi Wuyao’s lips curled up slightly, her devilish eyes slightly blurred, “This is what he deserves.”
“But the price may be to bury the entire core of the Northern Divine Region, leaving it with no future.” Qianye Ying’er looked into her eyes: “For you, the Demon Queen of the Northern Divine Region, this should be the most unacceptable price.”
Chi Wuyao smiled but did not comment.
When they walked out of the main hall, Cang Shitian came towards them, as if he had been waiting there for a long time.
"The Canglan barrier has been opened." Cang Shitian said. But this time, he neither bowed nor brought the three words "Demon Queen".
“Thank you for your help.” Chi Wuyao said calmly, “According to rumors, the power of Canglan is ever-changing and is particularly good at defense. This is the final world of your Ten Directions Canglan World. Even if it faces the vast Western Divine Region, it will surely be able to amaze the world.”
“I dare not say anything else, but this Canglan barrier will certainly not disappoint the Demon Queen.” Cang Shitian smiled and suddenly said, “Demon Queen, I am very curious about one thing. Please help me solve this puzzle.”
“Oh?” Chi Wuyao glanced sideways.
"In the current situation, your Northern Divine Territory is almost doomed to fail. Yet you have placed this most important first line of defense on the barrier of my Canglan Divine Territory."
Cang Shitian smiled, his expression was unrecognizable: "Aren't you afraid that I will turn against you in the middle of a battle? After all, opening the barrier when the Western Divine Territory arrived was a way of making up for my mistakes. Even if my Canglan Realm is severely punished by the Dragon God Realm, it can at least be preserved. If you are stubborn and refuse to change your ways, you will be buried with the Northern Divine Territory."
"Demon Queen, you should know that I, Cang Shitian, am a smart man... let alone such a simple choice."
