Chapter 1228: Chapters 1176-1177 Suppressing Heaven and Earth, Desperate Lion Emperor_2 Chapter 1228: Chapters 1176-1177 Suppressing Heaven and Earth, Desperate Lion Emperor_2 In their original plan, aside from fighting to the death with the human race for a chance at victory, they naturally also had a retreat in mind for themselves.
That was to say, if they truly couldn't match the human race's strength, they would gather the Demon Race's strongest and most vital forces and retreat into the Chaos Void, searching for a new land of life.
After all, as True Immortal Strong of the Demon Race, they were more than capable of traversing the void. United, these Monster Gods of True Immortal level could certainly find a place suitable for the Demon Race to survive.
They could even, if they so desired, choose any world at random and, with the power of a True Immortal, transform that world into a new paradise for the Demon Race.
Now, whether to deploy the Demon Summoning Banner was an extremely difficult decision. If they retreated now out of fear of the opponent, that was something the Lion Emperor was unwilling to accept. It was also a reality that the other True Immortal Monster Gods and countless strong members of the Demon Race couldn't bear.
For today's expedition, they had exerted so much effort and paid an unknown number of sacrifices. To retreat now before the battle had even reached its final moment was unthinkable.
Hence, the Lion Emperor believed that his position as the Demon Emperor might be shaken in the Future, and even if the Demon Race left, he would lose countless authorities and Qi Luck.
Yet, if they took action in such a manner and were ultimately delayed by the opponent, not only would the Demon Race suffer a great defeat, but perhaps their Qi Luck would be completely plundered by the enemy.
Qi Luck is a species' most important asset. Without it, it means losing the protection of heaven and earth, and even if they survive, the development of their race would encounter tremendous obstacles.
In the Ancient Era, it was the plundering of Qi Luck from All Tribes that caused them to lose their protection and the inability to bear more heroic descendants, leading them to band together for warmth.
Conversely, the human race continuously plundered Qi Luck and received more blessings from heaven and earth, becoming increasingly strong, and eventually reaching the point where one tribe stood above All Tribes.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
“There are only Demon Race warriors who die in battle, no Demon Race that surrenders!”
Within the Great Ming World, countless members of the Demon Race, when facing a desperate situation, did not retreat nor surrender, but instead chose to perish together with the enemy.
Under such rallying cries, innumerable Demon Race warriors with surging fighting spirit charged towards the human race, causing significant losses to them.
“The Demon Race… cannot retreat! At least, we cannot retreat now!” The Lion Emperor had an epiphany in an instant.
He was clear that the Demon Race was not afraid of failure, but what they feared most was losing their spine.
Being defeated by the human race, even having their Qi Luck plundered, was not terrifying. As long as they lived, through the settling of time, they could still rise again, just like the All Tribes of old.
But if they retreated now without truly fighting with all they had, it meant the Demon Race's fear, the Demon Race's avoidance, which would become an eternal nightmare in their hearts, where even if they preserved their strength, they would be but dry bones in a tomb!
“Fight!” The Lion Emperor made his decision and activated the Demon Summoning Banner.
The Demon Summoning Banner, forged from the Qi Luck of countless strong members from various tribes of the Demon Race and able to contain the True Spirits of Demon Race Cultivators,
In this great battle, those Demon Race members who died had their True Spirits return to the Demon Summoning Banner, invisibly making this supreme artifact ever more powerful.
Undoubtedly, this gave the Lion Emperor even more confidence in his heart, as well as a glimpse of the possibility of victory. So long as they won, all sacrifices would be worth it.
And even with his caution towards Shenxiao True Monarch, as a True Immortal holding the supreme artifact, the Demon Summoning Banner, even if he faced defeat against Shenxiao True Monarch, he was confident he could retreat safely.
Demon Summoning Banner!
The supreme artifact of the Demon Race emerged, with countless phantoms of the Demon Race appearing, and the terrifying aura instantly spread throughout the entire Chaos Void.
“Shen Xiao, meet your death! Today, with your life, I will forge the supreme glory of my Demon Race!” The Lion Emperor bellowed angrily, striking out furiously. The Demon Summoning Banner in his hand tore through time and space, evolved the Zhou Tian cycle, and unleashed the pinnacle of his battle power.
“Indeed, the Demon Summoning Banner is truly the Demon Race's supreme artifact. With the blessing of Qi Luck, you can exhibit strength far beyond your past capabilities,” said Pei Xuanjing, his expression unchanged, as he shook his head slightly: “But unfortunately, that is all it is!”
He had been waiting for this moment all along.
With Pei Xuanjing's strength, even if the Lion Emperor had greatly advanced in recent years, he was still no match for him. The strength of Pei Xuanjing, who had achieved the Three Proofs Immortal Path, was terrifying beyond imagination.
To be honest, Pei Xuanjing himself was probably not clear about how powerful he truly was when he went all out, because no one was ever worthy of such effort from him.
From the moment their battle began, Pei Xuanjing was confident enough to suppress the Lion Emperor, yet he still held back, even though each moment of delay could lead to countless deaths among the strong of the human race, but Pei Xuanjing was still waiting for the right moment.
The seizure of Qi Luck had begun, and it was not simply about killing the opponent, he needed to wait for the Lion Emperor to fully unleash the power of the Demon Summoning Banner and exhibit all of the Demon Race's thriving Qi Luck.
Only by doing so could he maximize the benefits for the human race and plunder the most Qi Luck from the Demon Race.
He had always been restraining his power, not wanting to scare the Lion Emperor away. Although he was not worried about the latter fleeing, he was, however, afraid that the Lion Emperor would not be fully inclined to activate the Demon Summoning Banner.
Now that he saw the Lion Emperor make a move, Pei Xuanjing was finally satisfied.
Even though the Demon Summoning Banner was terrifying indeed, and its amplification had boosted the Lion Emperor's combat power to rival that of the Two-proofs Immortal Path, in Pei Xuanjing's view, that was all it was!
“Let all this come to an end!”
Pei Xuanjing's aura erupted as he reached out. The list that originally hung outside Tiandu on the Extermination Altar tore through space and in an instant landed in his hand.
The ancient list shined with a dazzling light; mysterious characters flowed continuously, emitting a charm that was beyond imagination.
The Gods Sealing List!
As Pei Xuanjing guided an endless stream of Qi Luck into it, the list's power grew even greater.
The Human Immortal Path, Divine Immortal Path, Ghost Immortal Path.
Pei Xuanjing, who had certified the Path of the True Immortal three times, no longer held anything back, and burst forth with unprecedented power, causing the entire Chaos Void to tremble in a moment.
And the one to first feel this frightening power was none other than the Lion Emperor!
Previously, after having taken action, the Lion Emperor, whose eyes were filled with confidence, now had his expression change drastically, the power displayed by his opponent making him feel suffocated, desperate, as if suppressed by something from deep within his soul.
“How can this be! How can you be so powerful!” The Lion Emperor's face was filled with disbelief, unimaginable.
Though he hadn't certified the Immortal Path multiple times, he still understood the Five Immortal Paths of heaven, earth, humans, gods, and ghosts proposed by Shenxiao True Monarch quite well, or rather, very well.
Feeling the auras bursting forth from Pei Xuanjing, he said in shock, “You actually managed to certify the True Immortal three times without anyone noticing, how is this possible!”
The Immortal Path is difficult to achieve, even for those True Immortals who had certified once, their endeavour to continue certifying the Tao is extremely difficult, which is why most of these True Immortals choose to delve deeply into one path.
But the Shenxiao True Monarch before him had certified the Immortal Path three times, seemingly without effort, a nearly unimaginable feat.
“It's all a trap! You've been plotting all along, just to lure my Demon Race into this scheme!” The Lion Emperor's eyes were splitting in rage, suddenly piecing together everything that had occurred, believing he had discerned the truth.
At the beginning, although there was a difference in numbers between the True Immortals of the Demon Race and the human race, it was not a complete rout. So why were the humans so confident to initiate this battle of Enthroning Gods? Wouldn't they fear becoming the benefactor for their Demon Race?
Now that the opponent had shown such strength, he finally understood where that confidence came from.
The human race was powerful, an insurmountable adversary; this was the first reaction in the Lion Emperor's mind at the moment.
He mustn't continue to entangle himself further; it was time to retreat. They had already lost, and now the task was to preserve a remnant for the Demon Race, to leave a way out.
“Flee!”
The Lion Emperor roared towards the heavens, desperately unleashing all his power, even burning his own origin, purely to seek a chance at life.
“Escape? Too bad, it's already too late!” A fierce killing intent emerged on Pei Xuanjing's face!
