Chapter 324: The End of the Immortal Ruins, Returning to the Outside World (4000 words)



"Evil beast! Stop right there!"

"You dare to steal our opportunity, and now you want to escape!"

". . ."

On the boundless plain, four streaks of light flashed by at incredible speed. One was in front, and the other three followed behind.

The angry shouts from earlier came from the three streaks of light at the back. Upon closer inspection, these three streaks of light contained three humans.

Although they shouted in anger, their eyes gleamed with excitement, even more so than their anger.

In front, a solitary figure with surging demonic aura was a demon! At this moment, his face was filled with rage and confusion.

He had only entered a land of opportunity, but why had the situation completely changed upon his return? The humans, who were supposed to be the prey, now dared to be so bold as to gather in groups and besiege the demons?

These humans were truly audacious!

It was as if they had turned the heavenly energy upside down!

However, the situation was urgent, and he couldn't afford to ponder slowly. The three humans behind him were not weak, and he wasn't sure he could defeat them!

He needed to escape as soon as possible, find his fellow demons, and understand what had happened during this time. He could also take the opportunity to kill the humans behind him!

But as time passed...

His mind gradually grew heavy.

Nothing!

After traveling tens of thousands of miles, he hadn't encountered a single demon! What was going on? Recalling the strangeness of the humans behind him, an unbelievable thought began to emerge in his mind.

Could it be that while he was in the land of opportunity, the demons in the Immortal Ruins had been slaughtered by the humans? Impossible! How could that be? He quickly shook his head, dispelling this unrealistic thought from his mind.

Just then, in the distant horizon, several blurry figures appeared, rushing towards him.

Demons? His expression brightened.

But the next moment, his joy turned into fear.

Those figures were also humans!

These humans stood in a line, brandishing swords and knives, their auras surging with fierce malevolence.

Their eyes, filled with coldness and brutality, looked at him as if he were their prey.

In an instant, his mind sounded an intense warning, and the scent of death suddenly became clear in his nose.

With pressure from all sides, there was no chance of escape. He stopped and warily observed the humans in front and behind him.

"The number of demons entering the Immortal Ruins far exceeds that of your human race!"

"If you dare to besiege me, be prepared for all humans to face the same fate!"

At this moment, he could only bluff, hoping to scare these humans so he could find a chance to escape.

But after he spoke, he saw no trace of fear or terror on the faces of the humans in front and behind him.

Instead, their expressions seemed to mock him, as if ridiculing his threat.

His mind plummeted into an abyss.

"What happened?" he asked heavily, wanting to understand what had transpired in the Immortal Ruins.

But before he could finish his sentence—

Boom!

The six humans attacked simultaneously.

Their powerful force instantly shattered the void in all directions, and his physical body exploded into a cloud of blood.

The six humans quickly and skillfully approached, searching for the treasures and opportunities on the demon's body, dividing them among themselves.

After the Nine Sun Immortal Sect, the number and strength of demons in the Immortal Ruins had significantly decreased.

So, after the shift in power, the human experts began to form teams to hunt down the remaining demons in the Immortal Ruins, seizing the opportunities and treasures from their bodies.

After all, places filled with opportunities often came with accompanying dangers.

Killing demons not only avenged past humiliations but also allowed them to obtain the opportunities the demons possessed, a twofold gain.

This practice, once common among demons in the Immortal Ruins, had now reversed with the shift in power, and humans were hunting demons to seize opportunities.

After dividing the treasures and opportunities, the six humans glanced at each other and said, "There aren't many demons left in the Immortal Ruins, so we need to speed up."

After speaking, the six humans immediately left the spot and headed towards another possible location where demons might exist.

Just as the six humans left, two figures slowly emerged.

One was tall and slender, holding a long sword, appearing to be a young man.

A towering figure, with a large saber on his back, stood like a burly man.

They were the fourth and fifth talents on the Demon Clan Elite Rankings!

After obtaining the Ten Thousand Demon Art from the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, the two demonic beasts did not go to the Nine Sun Immortal Sect. Instead, they chose to hunt powerful beings, thus surviving by chance.

"They actually treated the Demon Clan as prey!"

"This is truly a disgrace!"

At this moment, the burly man's face was filled with anger, and his eyes were cold.

"Don't think too much. Hurry up and absorb the remaining essence, then hide," the sword-wielding youth reminded calmly.

Then, a hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes as he continued, "That Gu Xuanji seems to have gone mad. Instead of seeking opportunities, he's specifically targeting us!"

Although the two demons didn't go to the Nine Sun Immortal Sect, they witnessed the changes before and after.

At that time, nearly ninety percent of the Demon Clan, along with the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, went to the social app), completely disappeared after heading to the Nine Sun Immortal Sect.

However, the humans who also went to the Nine Sun Immortal Sect returned safely and even transformed, starting to act arrogantly and hunting down demons! This made the two demons sense something amiss.

They quietly went to the Nine Sun Immortal Sect, intending to find out what had happened.

But who would have thought that as soon as they entered the vicinity of the Nine Sun Immortal Sect, they were pursued by the human, Gu Xuanji.

The crucial point was that Gu Xuanji seemed to have obtained an opportunity, causing his strength to undergo a metamorphosis, showing signs of reaching the Celestial Immortal realm.

Even with the support of the Ten Thousand Demon Art, the two demons barely escaped the pursuit; otherwise, they might have perished at Gu Xuanji's hands!

Nevertheless, after that, Gu Xuanji seemed to have locked onto them, relentlessly tracking and pursuing them.

With no other choice, the two demons had to use their means to continuously hide and evade.

"What exactly happened in the Nine Sun Immortal Sect?" the burly man asked, his expression turning solemn.

They had also considered capturing humans who returned from the Nine Sun Immortal Sect to find out what had happened, but even if those humans died, they didn't reveal a single word.

"It must be related to the existence that left its name on the Supreme Tower!" the youth said calmly, narrowing his eyes.

Indeed, the mysterious existence that left its name on the Nine Sun Supreme Tower caused a transformation in the tower, attracting nearly ninety percent of the Demon Clan.

However, with such a large number of demons, along with the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, this force was already powerful enough to sweep through the entire Spirit Ruins!

Even if the one who left their name on the Supreme Tower was a human with extraordinary talent and the potential to reach the realm above Celestial Immortal, it was impossible for them to suppress ninety percent of the Demon Clan and the Dragon and Phoenix Clans with their strength alone! Not even the combined might of the Human Clan could achieve this!

The more they thought about it, the more they felt something was amiss.

The two demons arrived at the place where the demon was blasted earlier and began to suppress their thoughts, cultivating the Ten Thousand Demon Art to absorb the remaining essence.

Regardless, preserving themselves and safely leaving the Spirit Ruins was the top priority! They had already obtained the core inheritance of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, the Ten Thousand Demon Art!

Once they safely left the Spirit Ruins, they would no longer need to hide, and they could cultivate the Ten Thousand Demon Art without restraint! Their cultivation would soar without hindrance!

With these thoughts, the two demons temporarily suppressed their doubts.

As the Ten Thousand Demon Art was activated, strands of black Qi emerged from their bodies, slowly enveloping the surroundings.

The remaining essence from the blasted demon was immediately absorbed by the two demons.

After a few breaths, the black Qi returned to their bodies, and a hint of light flashed across their faces.

"Alright, let's hurry up," the youth said, his voice trailing off.

Just then, a series of clapping sounds echoed.

"Cannibalizing each other, beasts are indeed beasts!"

A mocking voice followed.

The two demons' expressions changed, but they didn't pay attention to the taunt and turned to flee.

However, at that moment, a long sword with a chilling glow appeared, blocking their escape route.

Without hesitation, the two demons drew their weapons and unleashed their full power.

But with a slight shake of the long sword, their attacks were instantly neutralized and dissipated.

Seeing this, the two demons' pupils constricted, and they abruptly turned and retreated, intending to escape in another direction.

However, humans appeared from all directions, blocking every possible escape route.

Among them were the six who had left earlier! It was clear that everything that had happened was a trap to lure out the two demons.

Although these human experts might not be very strong in the eyes of the two demons, their combined strength was still enough to hold them off for a few breaths.

In just a few breaths, it was enough time for Gu Xuanji to take their lives!

So, the two demons no longer resisted, immediately stopping their actions and turning to look at the young man holding the longsword.

"Gu Xuanji! Do you really not know what you're doing?!"

"Now, nine-tenths of the demons within the Spirit Ruins have been annihilated. If you kill us, not a single demon will be able to return."

"The Human Race will only face the endless fury of our Demon Race!"

"You'd better think carefully, can the Human Race withstand it?!"

The young man's expression turned cold as he glared at Gu Xuanji and threatened.

After his final statement, he paused slightly, and then his facial expression changed, revealing a hint of compromise.

"We don't know what happened in the Nine Sun Immortal Sect. Let us go back alive, and we can reduce the Demon Race's suspicions of your Human Race to a certain extent!"

"I promise you, after we return, we won't say a word!"

"I..."

The young man tried to change Gu Xuanji's mind.

But at this moment, Gu Xuanji chuckled lightly, interrupting him, and then slowly spoke.

"In the Nine Sun Immortal Sect, the Demon Race fought with the Dragon Phoenix Tribes for opportunities, resulting in their mutual destruction. What does this have to do with us, the Human Race?"

"Do you think we, the Human Race, have the ability to annihilate nearly nine-tenths of the Demon Race, along with the Dragon Phoenix Tribes?"

Gu Xuanji spoke with a playful expression, and then holding the longsword, he slowly stepped forward.

His aura was in turmoil at this moment, clearly having reached a threshold, about to break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm!

"It's better for you two to die here, so we can feel more at ease!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword light soared into the sky!

Suddenly, the world was filled with white light.

And after the light faded...

The two giant demons vanished, and the Human Race members around them also disappeared without a trace!

Above the boundless void.

The once calm Spirit Ruins mist suddenly began to churn.

At this unusual sight, the powerful beings of various races who were initially relaxed, instantly focused their minds.

The dragon and phoenix, in particular, directly and arrogantly arrived at the edge of the mist, blocking the exit.

Immediately after, the Demon Race's flying treasure ship followed closely behind, and a hundred Celestial Immortals emerged, their auras fierce.

Seeing this, on the Human Race's treasure ship, the Free Spirit Immortal Lord, who was originally drinking and enjoying himself, frowned.

The Demon Subduing Holy Monk, who had been meditating with closed eyes, also opened his eyes, and a Vajra Wrathful Gaze flashed and disappeared.

Before the two could make their next move...

"Get out of my way!"

"Block the exit! You've scared my Qilin child, and I'll make you pay the price here!"

A roar of fury echoed through the void.

Then, a powerful force suddenly rose, and in the blink of an eye, it swept across all directions.

A small mountain-sized Jade Inked Qilin appeared, his eyes cold as he glared at the crowd of demons at the edge of the mist, including the dragon and phoenix.

In an instant.

The dragon and phoenix at the edge of the mist, along with a hundred Celestial Immortal demons, turned around and looked at him.

Led by the Golden Crow Demon Lord, the hundred Celestial Immortals remained silent, not speaking a word, and also didn't move a muscle.

Instead, the dragon and phoenix frowned and spoke, "Even if we don't leave, what can you do?"

"Hey! Say another word and see what happens!"

The Qilin spoke coldly, and on its head, two horns began to emanate Annihilation Immortal Light, filling the heavens and earth with a rampant killing intent.

The atmosphere grew heavy.

"Hmph!"

The dragon and phoenix snorted coldly, but in their eyes, a hint of fear flashed, and they slowly retreated, no longer blocking the exit of the Spirit Ruins.

And as the dragon and phoenix left, the Demon Race's ten flying treasure ships also slowly departed, and the hundred Celestial Immortal demons coldly moved back, clearing the passage.

Almost at this very moment.

The mist churned to its peak.

Two figures emitting demon auras suddenly appeared in the passage, quickly rushing towards the outside.

In the blink of an eye, the two demons had reached the edge of the passage, just one step away from escaping.

"They are the Celestial Talents of our Demon Race!"

The Golden Crow Demon Lord's expression turned joyful.

But the next moment.

Buzz!

A dazzling sword light appeared from the depths of the mist, instantly covering the two figures.

Under the sword light that could shock even Celestial Immortals...

The two figures of the Demon Race instantly dissipated like spring snow meeting the sun, quickly disappearing.

And then.

A figure holding a longsword slowly walked out of the passage, his aura almost that of a Celestial Immortal.

"You kill our Demon Race! You're asking for death!"

The Golden Crow Demon Lord burst out in fury!
