In the vast Black Armor Domain, nearly half of its area has now turned into a wasteland under Lu Qingshan's power of mountains and seas.
Moreover, it is irreversible desolation.
In addition, all the top cities in the Black Armor Domain were massacred by Lu Qingshan.
The Black Armor Domain can be said to be in name only.
However, Luohu didn’t care about these at all.
First, the abyss has already begun to decay, and “desolation” has appeared.
Even if Lu Qingshan had not done what he did today, it was only a matter of time before the Black Armor Domain became a wasteland.
Secondly, as long as he becomes a saint, the sky will be his. The wealth there is countless times greater than that of the Black Armor Domain, so temporary gains and losses are nothing.
Therefore, Luohu decisively abandoned the Black Armor Region and left.
Similarly, there was no need for Lu Qingshan to stay in the Demon Realm any longer.
…
Outside Guangling Pass, in front of the space rift.
The desert is covered with yellow sand and the setting sun is slanting.
Smoke and dust rose up, and shouts of killing rose to the sky.
The counterattack launched by the human race has now reached a white-hot stage.
The demon army stretched for thousands of miles, and one demon army after another kept going into battle, roaring hysterically.
The sticky demonic energy scattered in all directions and gathered into a demonic cloud, blocking out all sunlight and appearing an evil black color.
The whole world then darkened.
However, the human coalition on the other side was more powerful.
They came from the seven realms of the human race, gathered at Guangling Pass, and with a steel-like attitude, they fought their way out of the pass, pressing forward step by step, until now they have forced the demons back into a space rift, with their morale soaring.
Two torrents with no end in sight collided violently, causing the entire world to tremble.
The elemental force and the demonic energy collided and collided madly.
The blood has already dyed the desert red.
The smell of blood filled the sky and earth.
And in the very center of the evil spirit, the most intense battle is taking place.
Vimalakirti, the last Asura King of the Asura clan, faced off against five human monks at the Venerable Realm.
He pushed his strength to the extreme, and with one punch he could pierce through the sky and earth.
His whole body was covered with black magic crystals, forming a layer of magic armor, but that was not real magic armor, but the demonic body of Vimalakirti.
It has both offensive and defensive capabilities and is extremely powerful.
Demonic energy surged throughout Vimalakirti's body, and his fists, covered with a layer of black magic crystals, kept punching forward.
As the two fists punched out, the black magic crystal actually spread out extremely sharp spikes, and the sharp energy caused the surrounding space to collapse inch by inch.
The broken marks were like shattered glass, shocking to the eye.
Although the momentum is ferocious, the human race is not afraid at all.
Lin Xiu, a cultivator from the Central Martial Domain, swung the spear in his hand with a shadow powerful enough to freeze space, and was already heading straight for Vimalakirti.
Ding ding ding!
Xiang Jianhuan clashed with Vimalakirti's magic fist, sparks flew.
The two men collided violently, fists and guns continued to clash, all of them were life-and-death fights.
Each of Vimalakirti's punches was extremely powerful, enough to kill a ninth-grade cultivator, but Lin Xiu was equally powerful. The gun shadow transformed by Xiang Jianhuan and Vimalakirti's magic fists kept intersecting.
The two were evenly matched for a while.
But Lin Xiu is not alone.
The other four monks in the Venerable Realm were also constantly attacking Vimalakirti.
Even though Vimalakirti's body was wrapped in the magic crystal armor, he still couldn't withstand the attack of so many Venerable Realm monks. He could only fight and retreat, looking quite embarrassed.
His body was already covered with various marks.
Being besieged and bombarded like this, Vimalakirti's eyes gradually turned red.
Finally, a long, sharp howl erupted from his throat, and immediately, demonic energy that was several times more terrifying than before swept out of Vimalakirti's body.
The evil spirit was so dense that it was almost viscous and turned into crystals.
A monstrous demonic energy erupted, and Vimalakirti's aura and fluctuations also surged.
He smiled grimly , and then the world seemed to have suddenly entered the polar night and became dark.
In the darkness, a beam of light that was extremely evil in the world suddenly shot out from Vimalakirti's body, piercing through the sky and earth.
It was clearly a black beam of light, but it created a dazzling feeling in the dark world. It rushed out quickly and then hit Lin Xiu hard.
boom!
A thunderous sound resounded, and the center of the collision was like a black sun rising.
Several horrified gazes followed and looked towards the black scorching sun.
They were worried about Lin Xiu's safety.
The next moment.
"A mere trifle!" A slightly hoarse voice was heard in the black scorching sun.
Then, everyone saw that the black sun suddenly shattered, and countless evil spirits disappeared.
They then breathed a sigh of relief and came to their senses. Just as they were about to continue strangling Vimalakirti, they found that he was no longer there.
In the distant sky, Vimalakirti’s escaping light was flying far away, heading straight for the crack in space.
"If you want this space crack, just give it to your human race. When Rahu becomes a saint, you will have to repay him a thousandfold!" The evil voice of Vimalakirti was heard.
Faced with the human race's fierce counterattack, Vimalakirti decisively chose to retreat to the Black Armor Domain instead of defending this space crack.
"Retreat!"
The evil energy rolled, and the next moment a loud sound spread throughout the world.
The demon cultivators who were fighting fiercely with the human coalition forces breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this order - no one is not afraid of death, even demons.
The human cultivators obviously would not let the demon cultivators retreat so easily, and they attacked them with a more ferocious attitude.
Therefore, although the order had been given, the retreat of the demon army was not smooth.
Only King Vimalakirtitrasura took the lead and ran away first. In the blink of an eye, he was close to the space channel.
Even with Vimalakirti's status, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this moment.
——Facing the siege of five monks in the Venerable Realm alone, the pressure was far greater than he had imagined. Even if he was the Shura King, he could fall at any time.
If he had not been decisive enough and sacrificed the rook to save the king in time, it would have been difficult to escape if the situation had continued to drag on.
"Rahu, although I have no choice, I have risked my life for you, you'd better succeed..." When he thought of Rahu, who was hiding somewhere and leaving them to take the blame, Vimalakirti couldn't help but feel a little itchy.
His figure flashed again, and he had arrived in front of the space crack.
Without any hesitation, Vimalakirti jumped into the space crack and prepared to leave immediately.
Just when Vimalakittarā thought he had escaped and relaxed a little, a sword rainbow suddenly shot out from the space crack that Vimalakittarā regarded as an escape route in a posture that Vimalakittarā had never imagined!
Wow!
The sword rainbow, carrying a chilling murderous intent, was extremely brilliant. It illuminated the entrance in an instant and collided head-on with Vimalakirti who was just jumping in.
With a bang, Vimalakirti's body flew backwards from the entrance of the space crack like a kite with a broken string, leaving a trail of blood along the way.
Caught off guard, Vimalakirti was seriously injured.
The next moment, a figure appeared in the dark entrance.
"What a coincidence." Lu Qingshan exclaimed.
The Sword of Heaven and Earth was circling in front of him.
On the way back, he chose to go directly through the space crack in the Black Armor Domain instead of going back the same way, but he didn't expect to run into Vimalakirti who was preparing to withdraw to the Black Armor Domain.
Although I didn't understand the specific situation at the moment, I just took action anyway.
Lu Qingshan gave a light shout, and the sky and the earth swirled, rushing towards Vimalakirti.
When the flying sword collided with Vimalakirti, there was a clanging sound that was extremely harsh.
But no matter how powerful and strong his divine and demonic body is, how can he stop the sharpness of heaven and earth and the current Lu Qingshan?
After a brief confrontation, the magic crystal covering Vimalakirti's body began to shatter, and blood flowed.
Bhimacitra was horrified.
In a moment, he was injured, and his injuries were even more serious than when he faced the five great monks in the Venerable Realm alone.
What a horrible thing this is?
He looked at Lu Qingshan, who was hovering in front of the space crack, with horror on his face, and said in anger, "You..."
At this time, the five great monks in the Venerable Realm who he had just left behind had also caught up with him and were approaching.
There are obstacles in front and pursuers behind.
Bhimacitra only felt his scalp tingling.
Lu Qingshan didn't care about Vimalakirti's feelings. He stretched out his five fingers and several sword rainbows flew out, completely blocking his way.
"My power is infinite in all the heavens and universes!" Vimalakirti roared, going completely mad.
He used all his strength, even burning his blood.
He has risked his life.
Because Vimalakirti could sense Lu Qingshan's terrifying power, perhaps he had already achieved the status of a semi-ancestor. A simple collision could break his divine and demonic body, and it seemed as if he was no longer on the same level as him.
boom!
Endless flames rose from Longque's sword.
The flames were so bright and hot that they burned away all the evil energy, and smoke and haze filled the sky.
“Half-ancestor, you are definitely Half-ancestor…” Vimalakirti’s face turned pale, and his ferocious and burly body staggered back again.
His burning blood essence was actually ignited by the Dragon Bird. Instead of turning into power, it just burned in vain.
Vimalakirti didn't believe that a cultivator at the same level as him could do this, so he was sure that Lu Qingshan must have been promoted to the semi-ancestor realm.
laugh!
At the same time, Lu Qingshan, holding the Demon-Suppressing Sword, was approaching.
The demon-suppressing angel emitted a dazzling light and slashed towards Vimalakirti.
The teeth on the sword are clearly visible and can absorb evil spirits.
"Ah!" Vimalakirti roared in despair. He had tried his best, but Lu Qingshan was too strong and his methods were fierce.
Soon, the magic crystals on his body shattered and disappeared one by one, the magic energy that protected his body was devoured by the demon-suppressing force, and blood splattered on his body.
Vimalakirti screamed in agony.
Lu Qingshan was different from any powerful enemy he had ever met. He was too strong, beyond the realm of the Honored Title, and had the power to crush him.
With reluctance, Vimalakirti once again chose to sacrifice the pawn to save the driver, and disintegrated himself before his physical body completely collapsed.
With a loud bang, as the body exploded, a powerful wave swept across the four directions, forcing the pursuers behind to retreat and temporarily avoid the attack.
However, Lu Qingshan stood still.
The sword of heaven and earth swept across, evolving the vast universe; the earth was thick and heavy, absorbing all the power that came.
Lu Qingshan's move ruthlessly crushed all of Vimalakirti's hopes. His soul, which had wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, had no way to escape and was chopped and cut by Lu Qingshan's flying sword. The blazing sword light and sharp sword intent made him feel as if he was enduring the pain of being cut into pieces.
With a wail of extreme pain, Vimalakirti was instantly destroyed, and his soul was completely shattered.
A generation of Shura King was suppressed in this way.
"Your Asura clan's methods are exactly the same." Lu Qingshan put the sword back into the sheath.
Luohu made the same choice when he was defeated.
Even if the Shura King, who was at the semi-saint level, self-destructed, all the magical powers of heaven and earth could stop it, let alone a mere top-level Demon Lord?
far away.
The human race's monks were all stunned.
Who could have expected such an outcome?
In their opinion, Vimalakirti must have escaped, but was stopped by Lu Qingshan who suddenly appeared, and before they could react, he was destroyed.
Everyone looked at each other, especially the monks from Tianhe City who were at the Venerable Realm. They couldn't help but think of the words Lu Qingshan had left behind.
"You don't actually know how strong I am."
Now, maybe they know something.
Although both sides had many problems at the moment, the war did not end with the death of Vimalakirti.
So everyone looked at each other from a distance, and then dispersed in tacit understanding, and attacked the demons who were preparing to retreat.
In the following time, the boundary of this space crack seemed to have turned into an enormous meat grinder.
Even though the demons wanted to retreat and had no intention of fighting, and even though the human coalition had gathered half of the forces of the seven regions and had a huge advantage in high-end combat power, the war still lasted for four days before it was gradually extinguished.
It is conceivable that the demons are powerful.
If it weren't for Chu Mushen and Lu Qingshan, the human race would have almost no hope of winning this battle between Taoism and demons.
…
Outside the boundary of the space crack, high above the sky.
The human race’s monks at the Venerable Realm, led by Lu Qingshan, Qi Butian and Lin Xiu, are all here.
In the desert below, the human monks were doing the cleanup work, clearing the battlefield, treating their companions, counting the losses, and collecting the relics...
"Tianyuan Sword Immortal, what is the purpose of your trip...?" Lin Xiu asked cautiously, going straight to the point without mentioning any victory in the counterattack.
This great victory did not excite the people present because they knew it was not the key.
The real key lies in Lu Qingshan, or rather... Luohou.
Lu Qingshan shook his head.
"Didn't find Luohou..." Lin Xiu's face changed slightly.
Not only him, but all the monks in the Venerable Realm present felt a chill in their hearts.
"We found it, but it was too late. When we found Luohou, his heart as a Demon Saint had already been formed..." Lu Qingshan did not hide anything and told the details truthfully.
"The Demon Saint's heart has been formed..." Bewilderment flashed across the eyes of Lin Xiu and others.
If, when facing the powerful demon clan, they still had the faith to hold on and not retreat.
But when facing a Demon Saint, all beliefs are useless.
Normally, the combat power of an individual plays little role in large-scale wars.
But if the individual's combat power becomes strong enough, everything will be reversed.
In fact, the mere appearance of the Nine Tribulations Sword Immortal has already broken the balance between the human and demon races.
The fact that Lu Qingshan is not a half-ancestor but his combat power is far superior to that of a half-ancestor is enough to defeat all the demon lords of the demon clan and allow the human race to complete a comeback at a disadvantage.
But what if the demon clan, which already has an advantage, produces a demon saint whose combat power far exceeds that of the Nine Tribulations Sword Immortal?
"Once Luohou is promoted to Demon Saint, everything will be over." Emperor Juque Wu from Tianhe City said in despair.
At this point, even his will to fight was almost extinguished.
All this is just because of the two words "Demon Saint".
He is one of the most senior monks in the Venerable Realm in Tianhe City. He had experienced the first battle between Taoism and Demons and witnessed the methods of the Taoist Ancestor with his own eyes, so he was very clear about the horror of that realm.
In this world, no one can stop the Demon Saint.
Just like back then, no one could stop Xia Daozu.
Lu Qingshan looked at everyone who was instantly depressed, and said nothing.
He agreed with what Emperor Wu of Juque said, but he did not accept his fate.
Ever since Luohu left, he has been thinking about how to compete with the Demon Saint.
Even if it's hard.
It is said to be a war between two races, but in fact, at this point, this battle between Taoism and demons has turned into a battle between two people.
"Don't feel despair." Just when everyone was feeling depressed, an old voice suddenly sounded.
Then everyone looked up and saw Qi Butian looking straight at them.
Qi Butian's hair was all gray and he looked old, but his eyes were bright.
Only then did they suddenly realize that this young abbot, who had just taken over the position for several decades, had unexpectedly become so old.
"Master Qi, do you have any other ideas?" Lin Xiu opened her mouth, her voice unconsciously dry.
Although he felt that this was not possible, when he saw Qi Butian's attitude, he inexplicably felt a little hope in his heart.
"It's not all over." Facing the questioning eyes of the crowd, Qi Butian nodded and said calmly: "It's true that we can't stop Luohou from becoming a Demon Saint, nor can we stop a Demon Saint, but... since Luohou can be promoted to a Demon Saint, why can't we give birth to another ancestor realm to compete with him?"
"Another ancestor is born?"
The air seemed to freeze. Everyone present was speechless and stared at Qi Butian in a daze.
This is not a great idea.
Everyone knows that only the Ancestral Realm can contend against the Demon Saint.
But can you advance to the ancestral realm just by wanting to?
In all these years of human history, there has only been one Xia Daozu.
The ancestral realm, the legendary tenth realm of cultivation, is too illusory.
