Chapter 804 Demon Invasion, Luo Yuantian's Despair
The middle-aged man with golden eyes had a gloomy face as he sensed the fluctuations in the surrounding space gradually subsiding.
In the end, nothing was done.
The pressure Lu Qing put on him was too great.
Even if he were to sacrifice this divine consciousness clone in exchange for a fleeting burst of power at the Dao Integration Realm, he still had no confidence that he could truly capture Lu Qing.
If Lu Qing is not killed, it will be a catastrophe for the entire demon race.
Therefore, he dared not take the risk and could only watch helplessly as Lu Qing left.
After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man with golden eyes disappeared from his spot and rapidly moved into the sky.
They quickly passed through the fierce winds and the boundary membrane, arriving in a strange, independent space.
Within the space, a colossal golden dragon, its length unknown, coiled up, resembling a giant mountain.
The middle-aged man with golden eyes transformed into a stream of light, rushing straight towards the golden dragon's brow and ultimately merging into it.
The next moment, the golden dragon opened its eyes, which were as large as lakes, and an incomparably terrifying power permeated and vibrated in the space.
However, the golden dragon's aura quickly subsided, and its massive body rapidly shrank.
Finally, after a burst of light, the appearance of the middle-aged man with golden eyes was revealed.
He then took a step and arrived outside the strange space. He took another step, and a large area of space shrank beneath his feet.
Before long, he arrived in another strange space outside the boundary membrane.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, are you there?"
The middle-aged man with golden eyes emitted a vast surge of divine thought.
A few breaths later, a spatial vortex appeared, and Luo Yuantian stepped out from it.
"Xuan Jin, what brings you here?"
A hint of impatience appeared on Luo Yuantian's face.
He was focused on resurrecting the elders of the Holy Alliance when this Xuan Tu Jin Long suddenly came to disturb him, which naturally angered him.
However, in a moment of thought, he remembered the group of demon kings who had been killed at Tian Sheng Peak.
Why did this golden dragon suddenly come to him? Could it be that it wants to come and demand an explanation?
Thinking of this, Luo Yuantian's heart suddenly became somewhat solemn.
While the relationship between humans and demons isn't usually too bad, it's certainly not very good either.
This time, the Holy Alliance suffered far greater losses than the demon race; almost all the elders guarding Tian Sheng Peak were wiped out.
Even the two vice leaders, one died and the other lost his physical body, leaving only his primordial spirit.
It can be said that, in terms of top-level combat power alone, the human race is currently weaker than the demon race.
If the demon race were to take this opportunity to launch an attack, he would have a hard time dealing with it.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, please don't get agitated. I've come here today because I have something I'd like to discuss with you."
Sensing Luo Yuantian's wariness, the middle-aged man with golden eyes went straight to the point.
"I have something to discuss. What is it?"
Luo Yuantian was somewhat surprised to see that the Xuan Tu Jin Long did not seem to have come to question him.
“A few days ago, that demon who caused a great disturbance at your Tian Sheng Peak came to our Demon Realm yesterday and extorted more than 300,000 high-grade spirit stones and more than 100 top-grade spirit stones from me by risking the lives of my entire demon race.”
The middle-aged man with golden eyes did not hide anything and directly told Lu Qing that he had been to the Demon Realm.
"He actually went to your demon realm?"
Luo Yuantian was genuinely surprised this time.
Looking at the expression on Jinlong's face, which didn't seem like he was lying, he immediately understood that this matter was true.
Suddenly, he felt a little better.
Especially when he heard that the other party had been extorted for more than 300,000 spirit stones and more than 100 top-grade spirit stones, he couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.
Suddenly, even the pain of spending so many spirit stones to buy resurrection resources lessened considerably.
At least, the demon race suffered far greater losses than he did.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, you should not gloat."
Despite Luo Yuantian's best efforts to conceal it, the middle-aged man with golden hair saw through his thoughts at a glance and immediately became somewhat annoyed.
"Speaking of which, this whole thing started because of your human race. Don't you intend to give me an explanation?"
“Xuan Jin, you are mistaken.”
Seeing that the middle-aged man with golden eyes was about to question him, Luo Yuantian's expression immediately turned serious.
"How could this matter be caused by our human race? Back then, when that kid was undergoing tribulation in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, it was because your demon race coveted his spirit pet that you angered him and ultimately caused this disaster."
In my opinion, this whole affair originated with your demon race.
"That doesn't make sense. As far as I know, it was you human cultivators who first tried to seize that kid's spirit pet?"
"That's absolutely not true. If you don't believe me, then let's each bring someone to confront each other."
The two Dao Integration Realm experts refused to yield to each other, and in the end, they could only look at each other in silence.
Because they know that such arguments are actually meaningless.
Even if a right and wrong were to be determined, the other party would never admit it.
After a while, the middle-aged man with golden eyes spoke up: "Fellow Daoist Luo, are you really willing to let a mere Nascent Soul Realm brat bully us like this?"
"What can we do if we don't admit defeat? That kid is an anomaly. You should have already witnessed his strength. He is invincible in the Great World. Even if you and I join forces, we might not be able to do anything to him."
Luo Yuantian sighed.
It's impossible for him not to feel aggrieved.
Since achieving the Dao Integration Realm, he had never suffered such a great loss.
But he knew even more that the demon was a true monster, possessing great supernatural powers, and was suspected of being related to the ancient witch clan.
Their spiritual clones were no match for them at all.
Seeing that the middle-aged man with golden eyes remained silent, Luo Yuantian continued, "Xuanjin, I know you are unwilling, but as long as that kid is in the Tianyuan Great World, we will not be able to do anything to him."
Since you've already given me spirit stones, why not take this opportunity to settle this score?
Don't forget, that kid is only at the eighth stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
If he were to reach the ninth tribulation of the Nascent Soul realm, or even the Dao Integration realm, I'm afraid neither our true forms would be a match for him.
The middle-aged man with golden eyes was startled.
He then remembered that Lu Qing's current cultivation level was only at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
However, he still said unhappily, "The Dao Integration Realm is not so easy to break through. We went through countless hardships to reach our current level."
However, Luo Yuantian countered, "If an anomaly like him cannot achieve the Dao Integration Realm, then who else under the starry sky can?"
The middle-aged man with golden eyes was speechless.
He was naturally aware that with that demon's monstrous talent, the barrier between the Nascent Soul Realm and the Dao Integration Realm would likely be too much for him to handle.
“Xuanjin, I know what you mean, but I have no intention of provoking that monster anymore. If you insist on causing trouble for him, then go by yourself. I will not accompany you.”
At this moment, Luo Yuantian understood perfectly well why the other party had come over.
The pretense of questioning was actually a ploy to convince himself to join forces and cause trouble for that evil spirit.
But he had finally managed to settle the matter with spirit stones and buy peace of mind, so how could he possibly fall into the trap again?
Luo Yuantian even began to consider whether he should inform on Lu Qing if the Xuan Tu Jin Long really went to cause trouble for him, so as to take the opportunity to do the other party a favor.
Seeing that Luo Yuantian had already said all that, the middle-aged man with golden eyes understood that things were beyond saving.
He sighed and was about to leave when a thought suddenly struck him.
Luo Yuantian's expression also changed.
At the same time, a domineering voice suddenly rang out.
"Haha, I didn't expect you two fellow Daoists to have the mood to discuss the Dao here. May I join you?"
As soon as the words were spoken, a demonic figure as large as a mountain appeared before the two of them.
"Yuan Mo, why aren't you staying in your own 'Demon Realm'? What are you doing here?"
Luo Yuantian's expression immediately turned cold upon seeing the other party.
As for the middle-aged man with golden eyes, he looked wary.
He never expected that this demon would also appear here.
"Nothing much, I've just been in seclusion for too long and haven't been out for a while, so I wanted to visit some old friends. What, are you two plotting something? Is it something I can't listen to?"
The Yuan Demon, as imposing as a mountain, appeared outwardly magnanimous, but in reality, he narrowed his eyes, his mind filled with alarm bells.
He originally intended to come here to keep an eye on Luo Yuantian and prevent him from interfering in the affairs of the Tianyuan Great World.
Unexpectedly, they saw Xuan Tu Jin Long discussing something with Luo Yuan Tian.
When did these two get so close?
Could it be that the human race and the demon race have secretly reached some kind of agreement and are planning to attack the demon race?
Yuan Mo immediately became alert, thankful that he had arrived just in time to witness this scene.
Otherwise, the demon race would have been tricked and wouldn't even know what happened.
"Whatever we're discussing is none of your business. If you know what's good for you, get lost!"
Luo Yuantian didn't give Yuan Mo any kind look at all.
Between humans and demons, there is only a deep-seated hatred.
Back then, Luo Yuantian's master died at the hands of the demon race. If his strength hadn't been only comparable to this demon, he would have killed him with a single palm strike long ago.
"It won't be easy for me to leave. What if you're discussing something to deal with my demon race? Wouldn't it be a huge loss if I left?"
Yuan Mo smiled broadly, as if he intended to stay here for the rest of the day.
"you……"
Luo Yuantian raised his eyebrows, about to speak sarcastically, when suddenly, as if sensing something, his expression changed drastically.
He unleashed a fierce aura as he looked at the Yuan Demon.
"Yuanmo, how dare you demons invade my human territory?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man with golden eyes was also shocked and immediately sensed it.
Soon, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"You discovered it so quickly. It seems that Fellow Daoist Luo's understanding of the Dao of Wind has improved even further."
Seeing this, Yuan Mo simply stopped pretending and revealed a smile.
“Indeed, I heard that your human race has offended a powerful figure, and a group of Holy Alliance elders have all perished, so I came to see for myself. Now, judging from your reaction, it seems that this is indeed true.”
"Yuan Mo, are you determined to start a war against my human race?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yuantian immediately realized that the news of the battle at Tian Sheng Peak had ultimately leaked to the Demon Clan.
His worst fears came true.
Ignoring everything else, Luo Yuantian immediately tried to send down his divine sense to condense a clone and enter the Tianyuan Great World to stop it.
But at that moment, the demonic energy emanating from the mountain-like Yuan Demon suddenly surged, spreading towards Luo Yuantian and forcing his divine sense back.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, we Dao Integration Realm cultivators should not get involved in the squabbles between the juniors. You can just stay here and play with me quietly."
The demon's voice was like rolling thunder, and his body suddenly exploded, evolving into a vast domain of demonic energy that seemed to dye the entire starry sky black.
"Yuanmo, if my human territory suffers any loss, I will surely slaughter all the billions of demons in your demon realm!"
Caught off guard, Luo Yuantian was trapped by the vast domain of demonic energy.
Although this demonic energy domain could not harm him with his strength, it was enough to temporarily block him from sending down his divine sense clone.
"Hmph, let's talk about it after you can get out of my Demon Realm! As for the human territory, once you're out, it will belong to my demon race!"
The voice of the Yuan Demon also emanated from the billowing demonic energy.
Damn it!
Luo Yuantian tried to break through several times, but found that he still couldn't escape.
In order to stop him, the demonic entity transformed itself into a demonic realm and did not even attack him, but simply trapped him with all its might.
In this way, even if he unleashed his full power, he would find it difficult to break free in a short time.
Upon seeing this, Luo Yuantian became extremely anxious.
He was fully aware of the situation below, even though he had a divine thought clone in the Tianyuan Great World.
However, that divine thought clone could not withstand too much consumption without the support of his continuous divine thought power.
Furthermore, with many of the Holy Alliance's elders still not resurrected, the human race simply lacks the strength to resist the demon race's invasion.
In desperation, he immediately shouted, "Xuanjin, are you just going to stand by and watch? If the demon race really wipes out my human race, your demon race will be next!"
The middle-aged man with golden eyes was startled.
"Xuanjin, this is a feud between our demon race and the human race. Do you want to interfere? Aren't you afraid that I will order an attack on your demon realm first?"
"If you don't interfere in this matter, I assure you that I will never harm your demon realm in the slightest!"
Yuan Mo's icy voice also rang out at this moment.
The golden-eyed middle-aged man, who was about to make a move, froze.
"Xuan Jin, don't be fooled by his lies. The demon has always been untrustworthy. Don't you know that? He's just lying to you now. He will definitely devour your entire demon race in the future!"
"I can swear an oath on the Great Dao that I will never invade the Demon Realm."
"Xuan Jin, the demon is cunning, don't be fooled by him!"
...
Luo Yuantian and Yuan Mo were arguing back and forth.
This put the middle-aged man with golden eyes in a dilemma.
Many of their demon kings have fallen, and the only one to be resurrected, the Golden Lion King, only has the strength of the initial stage of the primordial spirit, which is useless.
If the demons were to turn their guns on the demon realm now and launch a counterattack, they would have no chance of resisting.
But he also knew that if the demons were to swallow up the human territory, once they had digested it, their demon realm would eventually be invaded as well.
This choice between immediate annihilation and a protracted existence left him momentarily at a loss, unsure of which option to choose.
Seeing the hesitation of the middle-aged man with golden eyes, Luo Yuantian became even more anxious.
He knew that the longer the situation dragged on, the more dangerous it would be for humanity.
But now he was completely helpless, and a sense of despair suddenly filled his heart.
