Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 504 - 497 The Regret of the Demon Race Heavenly Emperor
Jie Yongjian immediately sensed the Poison Dao Rules of the Bone Devouring and, without hesitation, reached out to grab Ding Huan.
His mind moved incredibly fast, and in this brief moment, he realized that the Demon Clan might have encountered trouble; otherwise, the Immortal Court Cultivator Army would not have met them so soon.
It must have been the Human Tribe using top-level deadly poison that had caused the great defeat of the Demon Clan. It was the same Poison Dao Rules he had just felt and that his Protective Demon Qi had blocked.
After all, something similar had happened not long ago, except at that time, it was the Demon Clan that had used the deadly poison of the Sea Fish Cart Dao Rhythm against the Human Tribe.
The reason his Demon Race was reluctant to rush to the forefront was twofold: the Demon Clan was strong and reaped the greatest benefits.
Secondly, the deadly poison of the Sea Fish Cart was not so easily blocked, and he feared that Peng Xueshan, that old thing, might turn against his own Demon Race.
But the speed of the disaster for the Demon Clan was too quick; he had received no prior warning.
The poison of the Bone Devouring was too fierce and overbearing; the Demon Clan couldn't even send a message, let alone have a chance to escape.
Moreover, with Peng Xueshan himself dying under the Bone Devouring, who had the time to send a message to the Demon Race?
"Seeking death." Emperor Xing Pan had been watching Jie Yongjian keenly; seeing Jie Yongjian dare to make a move against Ding Huan, his anger peaked in an instant.
Jie Yongjian could make a move against him or other Immortal Emperors, but he was not to lay a hand on the Ding brothers.
Going against the Ding brothers meant kill, kill, kill.
Once Emperor Xingpan made a move, other Lords and Star Lords all drew their Magical Treasures and charged at the Demon Race.
Jie Yongjian's eyes revealed an incredulous expression; even if he had suddenly attacked a Daluo Immortal, it shouldn't have prompted Emperor Xingpan and many Star Lords and Lords to attack him simultaneously.
The Demon Practitioners of his side, seeing the Demon Emperor himself taking action, also each drew their Magical Treasures.
Ding Huan had just laid down the poison; the Poison Dao Rules of the Bone Devouring had not yet spread out quickly.
A peculiar scene appeared on the battlefield.
Numerous cultivators of both the Demon Race and Human Tribe stood back, while the Immortal Emperors and Demon Emperor from both sides started fighting first.
Instantly, Demon Essence soared through the sky and Immortal Essence exploded.
In less than the time it took an incense stick to burn, Jie Yongjian felt that something was amiss.
Strong Poison Dao Rules were forcefully trying to seep into his Demon Emperor Domain, only blocked by his Protective Demon Qi.
When he saw the protectors on his left and right sides all being killed, his complexion completely changed.
He had guessed correctly; this wasn't just poison, but it was hundreds of times stronger than the poison of the Sea Fish Cart.
The Demon Clan hadn't merely failed to encounter the Human Clan's grand army—they had been utterly routed by them, and even...
Jie Yongjian dared not think further; he felt like he was going mad. How could billions of the Demon Clan possibly have been entirely massacred by the Human Clan Cultivator Army?
But when he sensed with his Divine Will and saw the waiting Demon Practitioner forces fall like cut wheat, he was utterly terrified.
This was not poison; this was the aura of death.
"Stop, Emperor Xingpan, my Demon Race is willing to withdraw from the Great Immortal Domain and compensate for the losses…" Jie Yongjian was much more decisive than Peng Xueshan; he knew trouble had come upon them instantly.
Hearing Jie Yongjian agree to withdraw from the Great Immortal Domain and offer compensation, several Star Lords and Immortal Ministers looked toward Ding Huan.
Simultaneously, they subconsciously relaxed their attacks.
They knew, on this battlefield, Emperor Xingpan listened to Ding Huan.
So, they looked toward Ding Huan, not Emperor Xingpan.
Ding Huan sneered internally; he knew these officials of the Immortal Court.
Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that they would have nowhere to go if the Immortal Court was destroyed, few of them would want to be on the battlefield.
Now that the Demon Race was willing to retreat and even offer compensation, if it were up to them, most would prefer not to fight relentlessly.
Why not retreat and enjoy the peace of the years?
Unfortunately, it seemed as if Ding Huan hadn't heard Jie Yongjian's words at all; he crazily laid down the Poison Dao Rules of the Bone Devouring.
"Is Jimi here?" Ding Huan shouted while frantically setting up the poison laws.
Jimi had just slain an eighth-level Demon Emperor and was in high spirits.
What a delightful battle it was! Despite facing a Demon Emperor of similar strength, even slightly stronger than him, he had killed him. How exhilarating!
"Here!" Jimi was the first to rush back in response upon hearing Ding Huan call.
He admired Ding Huan immensely, almost to the point of complete reverence, and he also felt his judgment was unmatched.
Back when Emperor Wushang was around, he had wanted to take Ding Huan to confront the Demon Clan, but unfortunately, it hadn't happened.
Though it wasn't under the same circumstances now—Ding Huan was leading him instead—it was thrilling nonetheless.
"You immediately lead the Immortal Court Cultivator Army and slaughter the Demon Cultivators; do not spare a single one," Ding Huan said coldly.
"Yes, I obey the command of the Great Immortal Governor," Jimi responded, rushing over to the Immortal Court Cultivator Army and preparing them to move out.
The too-enthusiastic Human Clan Cultivator Army, under Jimi's leadership, madly charged into the Demon Army—it was as if they feared being even a step behind.
A one-sided massacre and collecting rings—who would want to be a step behind and miss out?
Jie Yongjian finally understood; this guy who had previously laid down the poison was the new Great Immortal Governor of the Immortal Court.
"Great Immortal Governor, there has been a misunderstanding; my Demon Race is willing to compensate the Immortal Court for all losses, no, tenfold…" Jie Yongjian almost roared out.
In just a short time, only six of the eighth-level Demon Emperors remained beside him.
Almost as soon as his words fell, two miserable screams sounded, and two more eighth-level Demon Emperors were killed.
"Very well," Ding Huan replied.
Jie Yongjian's heart lifted, but he did not hear Ding Huan, the Great Immortal Governor, retract his order; instead, he saw the Poison Dao Rules in Ding Huan's hands becoming denser.
Was he speeding up the poisoning? frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"Great Immortal Governor, what do you mean? You just agreed."
Jie Yongjian was furious, as he hadn't expected a Great Immortal Governor of the Immortal Court to go back on his word.
Ding Huan said indifferently, "Yes, indeed, I agree with your words, this is a misunderstanding. However, to prevent such misunderstandings in the future, I have decided to annihilate the Demon Race."
Ding Huan's voice was not loud, but his words, along with the Bone Devouring Poison he laid out, filled the space and spread across the entire battlefield.
"Immortal Governor Eternal!" countless Immortals of the Immortal Court roared in rage.
What kind of battle had they been fighting before?
Truly, inept leadership could sabotage the entire army.
The Immortal Court had no better strategy than to sacrifice the lives of the Cultivator Army to protect the Immortal Court.
As a result, countless people secretly despised and scorned Emperor Xing Pan, at least when Emperor Wushang was around. They could still cling to life and survive.
With Emperor Xing Pan, they had no other choice but to send them to their deaths.
Moreover, they would even give the Immortal Court to the Alien Clan.
Emperor Xing Pan was incompetent enough, but he also favored his relatives, placing a useless Great Immortal Governor in the most conspicuous position, who did not even dare to come to the battlefield.
These Immortal Court's cultivator soldiers did nothing but curse Emperor Xing Pan and scorn the useless Great Immortal Governor.
All these had become a custom among the Immortal Court Cultivator Army.
Until today, when they realized that the Great Immortal Governor had indeed come.
After the Great Immortal Governor arrived, he decimated a group of eighth-level Immortal Demon Emperors with the swiftness of thunder, then slew millions of Demon Clan cultivators.
Not only that, they completely crushed the Demon Clan with zero casualties.
Now, they were recreating their former glory, similarly with zero casualties... no, rather, by overwhelming the Demon Army without even making contact.
In just a short time, a third of the Demon Army had fallen, and the terrified expressions of the Demon cultivators elated them.
Reap what you sow, for seizing our territory, for monopolizing our Immortal Sect...
Humans are the most forgetful species; they had forgotten how just recently they were cursing Emperor Xing Pan and mocking the useless Great Immortal Governor.
In the blink of an eye, they began to admire Emperor Xing Pan immensely, feeling that Emperor Xing Pan had great foresight and vision, for appointing someone as powerful as Ding Huan as the Great Immortal Governor.
They admired the Great Immortal Governor to their core; with his intervention, all manner of evil vanished just as they came.
This was also why Ding Huan previously didn't waste time driving out the Alien Clan, because he knew that for most people, whoever provides for them is their master.
"Great Immortal Governor, you can't do this," Jie Yongjian almost cried out.
In a short period, all the Demon Emperors around him were slaughtered.
And under his Divine Will, the Demon Clan cultivators kept falling like dominoes.
At this rate, the Demon Clan would be exterminated.
But just as his words fell, he felt a powerful whirlwind of killing intent blast into his Domain.
The next moment, a pain struck his Sea of Consciousness, and the Protective Demon Qi was completely torn apart by the Bone Devouring Poison Law.
Feeling his own Divine Will starting to slow and the channels of his Demon Essence becoming stagnant, Jie Yongjian felt a wave of despair.
He was in such a predicament, and yet the Great Immortal Governor had struck him with a Divine Will Ability sneak attack.
Even without the sneak attack, his poisoning was just a matter of time.
He didn't even know the origin of this poison, let alone anyone else.
How could one fight against such a poison?
Even he, the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race, couldn't withstand it, leaving ordinary Demon cultivators to wait for death.
And with the Great Immortal Governor's ability to lay poison in the Immortal Court, probably no one could avoid it.
It was only at this moment that he finally confirmed that the Demon Clan was not just defeated, but completely annihilated.
It was a true annihilation, with not a single Demon Clan cultivator escaping alive.
The total annihilation of the Demon Clan was just moments away.
"Poof!" Poisoned, Jie Yongjian's Domain cracked, his Divine Skills showed numerous flaws, and a Sword Qi passed through his neck, raising a cloud of blood mist.
"I, Jie Yongjian, am the sin of the Demon Race," despair surged in Jie Yongjian's heart like never before.
The ancestor once said that Pangu Great World was originally dominated by the Human Tribe.
It was remarkable that the Demon Race could survive here and occupy a place of its own.
They might strive to obtain more benefits from the Human Clan, but should never aspire to extinguish them.
Why did he harbor such ambitions? Why did he insist on sharing the Immortal Domain with the other tribes?
