Chapter 271: Desperate Human Race! Dark Dao Platform!

Chapter 271: Desperate Human Race! Dark Dao Platform!

Su Changqing held the Purple-Golden Divine Sword, with the Heavenly Sword Intent swirling around him.

His expression was calm and composed, as an overwhelming sense of dread swept through the heavens and earth.

He was still the same person, but the current Su Changqing now looked down upon everyone present like an emperor.

"Imperial Intent!"

The numerous demon races, who had been about to charge forward, suddenly came to a halt.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and reverence.

This sudden feeling was like that of a subject facing their emperor, filled with helplessness and dread.

The Imperial Intent at the peak of the Sword Dao!

Only by facing Su Changqing at this moment could one truly understand how terrifying that pressure was.

The title of Sword God was not something anyone could claim lightly.

"What are you waiting for! Kill him!"

Amidst the silence of the heavens and earth, Saint Feather's angry shout rang out again.

Su Changqing was clearly exhausted, making it the perfect time to attack.

If they waited for him to recover, it would be even harder to make a move!

"Kill!"

The demon races clenched their teeth, roaring as they overcame their fear and charged forward once more!

Dozens of Dao techniques and secret arts soared through the sky, and countless demons instantly engulfed Su Changqing.

Seeing this, the Jianxiu present all rushed to assist Su Changqing.

Just then, a solemn and calm voice rang out from the center of the demon crowd.

"Rivers and Mountains, Manifest!"

Boom!

As soon as the words were spoken, a torrent of sword intent erupted from the center of the demon crowd.

The purple-golden sword intent stretched from the heavens to the earth, like a rainbow, with boundless sword intent weaving through the void.

In an instant, a vast and majestic map of rivers and mountains, entirely drawn with sword intent, appeared in the sky.

The vast rivers and mountains, brimming with sword intent, descended like a collapsing sky.

"Get out of the way!"

The demon races screamed in terror, but it was too late.

The vast rivers and mountains fell from the void, transforming into endless sharp sword intent that erupted from the demon crowd!

The noble purple-golden light flooded the area like a tidal wave.

One after another, the demon race's divine consciousnesses faded into points of light, vanishing on the spot.

The once crowded Dao Platform was now cleared of a large area, and Su Changqing, wielding his Chi Jian, stepped out slowly, gazing into the distance.

"Will you retreat?"

The calm yet oppressive voice made everyone on the peak fall silent.

Although they stood at the peak, at this moment, they all felt like they were looking up at the youth.

Su Changqing's terrifying combat power had silenced everyone.

His strength, which defied all reason, was far beyond what Divine Output could compare to.

There were still many demon cultivators left.

In terms of numbers, the demon races still held an absolute advantage.

But who would dare say that the Human Race would lose now?

Su Changqing, standing alone, protected two Dao Platforms and fought until the demons dared not take a single step forward.

This invincible momentum thrilled the Human Race and sent shivers down the spines of the demon races.

But Saint Feather still looked down with a hint of reluctance.

Such a good opportunity to overthrow the Human Race had been disrupted by Su Changqing.

She could still order another charge, but what was the point?

The Dao of Alchemy was protected by the Buddha and Martial Dao, making it impossible to break through in a short time.

The Dao of Confucianism and the Dao of the Sword were even more formidable.

The demons on these two Dao Platforms were almost cowed by Su Changqing.

Even if they continued to fight, even if they exhausted Su Changqing, the demon races had little hope of capturing these two Dao Platforms.

"If you persist in your stubbornness, I will storm your demon Dao Platform!"

Seeing Saint Feather's silence, Su Changqing's eyes turned cold.

"Though I cannot reach the peak, do you think I can't pull you down as well?"

The demons present and Saint Feather all changed color.

They had all witnessed Su Changqing's terrifying combat power.

If Su Changqing really disregarded everything and charged into the demon ranks, he might indeed break through and drag Saint Feather down.

Saint Feather was the daughter of the Demon Emperor. If she were forced off the Dao Platform in front of everyone, the demon races would lose all face!

"Princess—"

A demon, looking anxious, called out, hesitating.

Saint Feather's face turned ashen as she glared at Su Changqing, her fists clenching and unclenching.

She indeed had the intention to retreat.

But there was a difference between making the decision herself and being threatened into it.

She wanted to continue the fight, but looking into Su Changqing's calm eyes, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

"Hmph!"

After a long pause, Saint Feather finally let out an angry snort. "Heaven’s Dao truly favors the Human Race!"

"But next time, you won’t be so lucky!"

"Retreat!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present, whether from the Demon Race or the Human Race, let out a collective sigh of relief.

Continuing the battle, neither side had the confidence to secure a victory.

Though this outcome wasn’t perfect, both sides could still accept it.

"Su Changqing!"

After the Demon Race retreated, Saint Feather turned to Su Changqing, her tone mocking. "You saved the Human Race, but you’ve ruined your own future."

As she spoke, she pointed to the sky, where the overwhelming trend was almost fully merged, and said with a smile, "With this sky-wide trend merging, you’re no longer qualified."

"You can only watch as we merge to achieve the world's top Divine Output!"<|im_end|>

The Human Race present fell into silence upon hearing this.

The strongest Heavenly Pride of the Human Race couldn’t receive Heaven’s Dao’s blessing for the Human Race. This was indeed a very ironic scene.

Even Su Changqing couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Missing this Fenyuntaif, it would take him a long time to break through to Divine Output. Not only that, he would need to find a new way to gather the vast resources required for such a breakthrough.

"Where to find the resources? The Imperial Tombs, perhaps."

Su Changqing’s face showed deep contemplation as he pondered his next steps.

But suddenly—

Boom!

The vast trend, gathered from all the Dao sects in the world, which was about to unify, suddenly trembled.

Not far from the vast trend, a huge rift appeared in the void.

It was as if a monstrous beast from the abyss had opened its mouth and swallowed nearly a third of the trend!

This scene sent shockwaves across the world!

"What’s happening? What is that thing!"

"The world’s trend has lost a third? What could possibly consume the trend like that?"

"A third of the continent’s trend! What is Heaven’s Dao up to?"

The cultivators of the Cangyan Continent were all terrified.

A third of the trend!

It was the culmination of the trends of all the Dao sects and cultivators in the world.

Now, with a third of it gone in an instant, this was not just a severe blow, but a fundamental wound!

"Buzz"

At that moment, even the heavens let out a mournful cry, and the world suddenly darkened.

Clearly, the trend that had been swallowed in one bite was almost too much for Heaven’s Dao to bear.

The Heavenly Prides on the Dao Platform all looked up in shock.

Such an event had never occurred in any previous Fenyuntaif.

Only Su Changqing’s eyebrows shot up, and he looked toward the abyssal maw that had opened.

"It’s here!"

…

With the loss of the trend, before anyone could react, the heavens changed again.

A massive Dao Platform, deep and dark, emitting a sinister and evil glow, slowly materialized in the void.

This Dao Platform was surrounded by a surging trend, far more substantial than the nine that had appeared initially.

The moment this Dao Platform appeared, the surrounding world instantly darkened.

An evil, desire-filled darkness rose up uncontrollably.

"Ha ha ha, everyone, did you enjoy the show?"

The moment the dark Dao Platform appeared, a mocking laugh echoed from the sky.

One by one, cultivators shrouded in darkness, exuding a powerful and evil aura, stepped onto the dark Dao Platform.

Amir stood at the forefront, hands behind his back, looking at the Human Race’s Heavenly Prides with a smile. "Are you done fighting? Now, it’s our turn."

The moment he spoke, the creatures from the Forbidden Zone all laughed menacingly.

Their eyes, filled with desire and evil, roamed over everyone present.

"Darkness Restricted Zone!"

The continent’s Heavenly Prides fell silent for a moment, then all showed shock.

"How is this possible? How can creatures from the Forbidden Zone step onto the Fenyuntaif?"

Daoism Lingxu’s face was pale, and he said in disbelief, "It’s impossible."

Shan Xing looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with confusion and doubt, "Why doesn’t Heaven’s Dao intervene? How can the continent’s trend be tainted by darkness?"

Zhao Battian, Chu Xi, and Ye Xiaoyi—

All the Heavenly Prides present looked at the dark Dao Platform with a sense of disbelief.

They couldn't fathom why they would encounter creatures from the Forbidden Zone here.

This was the closest point to the Heavenly Dao. How could the other party dare, or even set foot in this place?

"You knew!"

Holy Feather suddenly turned his head, looking down at Su Changqing, "You knew the creatures from the Forbidden Zone would come!"

The onlookers' expressions changed slightly upon hearing this, recalling Su Changqing's earlier words.

They had assumed that Su Changqing was lying to make the demon race retreat.

But now it seemed that it was true!

What was perplexing was why Su Changqing knew about the Darkness Restricted Zone's plans.

"I'm also curious how you knew we would come."

Amir's gaze also fell on Su Changqing as he asked.

"I killed an evil being from Yuzhi and got the information from it."

Su Changqing said coolly, "But unfortunately, this information seems to have been useful only to me."

Holy Feather, Zhao Batai, Lingxu Zi, and others couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Indeed, if they had believed Su Changqing earlier, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.

The internal conflicts on the continent had already caused severe losses, while the Darkness Restricted Zone was at its peak.

If a fight broke out...

Thinking of the outcome, everyone present turned pale.

At this moment, not only the Heavenly Prides present, but also the great powers across the world couldn't remain idle.

The formation of the Dark Dao Platform had already consumed a third of the continent's fortune.

If a few more Dao Platforms were seized, wouldn't the continent be forced to share the world with the evil beings?

Such a result would be an unbearable burden for both the Human Race and the demon race!

While the Human Race and the demon race often fought internally, they were at least all inhabitants of the continent.

No matter who won, they would never annihilate the other completely.

But the Darkness Restricted Zone was different!

They were a group of demons!

A group of beings who had lost their true hearts, driven by desire!

If darkness took control of the world, all cultivators would face only death and enslavement.

This conflict over the Fen Yun Platform, since the appearance of the Darkness Restricted Zone, was no longer a simple struggle for supremacy!

It was a battle for survival!

If this battle was lost, the future of the continent's inhabitants would be incredibly dire.

"Unite to resist the Darkness Restricted Zone. The Dao Platform can be given to the Human Race, but it must not fall into the hands of the Forbidden Zone!"

The solemn and grand voice of the Demon Emperor echoed from the heavens.

"All divine cultivators, regardless of talent, must ascend the platform!"

"This battle, we cannot lose!"

The Dao Lords of the Eastern Domain, Xuanyan, Zhao Shanke of the Beiyu Region, Jia Ye of the Western Domain, and the strong figures from various secret families...

At this moment, every powerful figure on the continent rose into the sky, their stern and solemn eyes tightly fixed on any movement around the Fen Yun Platform.

Seeing these powerful figures standing in the void, a pressure like the sky collapsing pressed down on every cultivator's shoulders.

Everyone understood that this battle...

The Human Race could not afford to lose!

"I didn't want to participate with my weak Dao, but it seems I can't stay out of it!"

"Kill! Hell, even if I lose my teeth, I'll tear off an arm of those evil beings!"

"Damn, I'm just a small independent cultivator, but now I'm caught up in this mess!"

"Everyone, charge together! This is the Cangyan Continent; we can't let the evil beings have their way!"

The previously empty Dao Platform was now filled with one divine figure after another.

They cursed and grumbled, exuding a rugged aura, far less formidable than the orthodox cultivators.

These independent cultivators knew that the so-called tide of heaven and earth had little to do with them, so they had been reluctant to participate.

But now, with the emergence of the Forbidden Zone, this battle that would determine the future of the continent, no one held back.

Though their cultivation was low, their blood and spirit were no weaker than anyone else's!

In just a moment, the nine Dao Platforms were once again packed with people!

"Tsk tsk, the continent has a solid foundation."

"Despite the long internal conflicts, you can still gather so many people."

Amir casually glanced at the crowd on the Dao Platform, shaking his head with a hint of amusement.

"But do you really think these trash can stop us?"

"Even a horde of ants can't bite a divine dragon to death."

As soon as these words were spoken, a wave of curses erupted on the Dao Platform.

These rugged and scattered cultivators didn't care who their opponents were; they immediately started cursing their ancestors.

The creatures from the Forbidden Zone, however, remained unperturbed, their sinister grins only growing wider.

"Too noisy."

Amir casually waved his hand and said indifferently, "Take action and shut them up!"

The moment he spoke, a series of sinister laughs echoed through the air. A vast expanse of darkness surged forth, heading straight for the nine Dao Platforms on the continent.

"Kill!"

The battle erupted instantly, dividing(End of Chapter)
