Become a fairy alone

"The Lingxueyan Demon Clan has retreated to the Shadow Demon Blood Forest, and their defensive line has been taken over by the Desolate Gu Demon Guard!" The Desolate Ancient Demon Emperor, whose aura of bloodlust was astonishing, gave the order once again.

Unlike the Oak Rock Clan, the Lingxueyan Demon Clan has not suffered significant losses yet. Apart from lacking a Demon Lord-level combat power like the Oak Rock Clan Chief, their overall tribal strength is even more formidable than that of the Oak Rock Clan.

This tribe was also unlucky; its Supreme Elder was of equal cultivation to the Oak Rock Clan Chief, but unfortunately perished on the battlefield between immortals and demons.

But none of that matters now; these tribes are destined to become his nourishment.

The demon tribes in the entire Moonshadow Wasteland have a combined army of nearly eight million. Theoretically, these demons could support him alone. However, Lu Xiaotian is no ordinary person. On the contrary, he is not only extremely powerful but also skilled in scheming.

For now, the demon tribes in Moonshadow Wilderness have a large number of members, so removing a few tribes won't have an impact. However, as more and more tribes are transferred out, the defense line will inevitably be affected to varying degrees, and Lu Xiaotian is likely to notice something amiss.

Time waits for no one, and we can't wait any longer. The Ancient Demon Emperor gritted his teeth, waved his sleeve, and a dozen or so Blood-Azure Demon Pots floated around him. One of the pots tilted down, and instantly, the blood of a large number of dragon remnants poured out like a river, mixing with the demon blood in the blood pool.

The overwhelming dragon aura made even the Ancient Demon Emperor shiver. He had been bewitched by the four Heavenly Emperors of the Immortal Realm and led his army to the Desolate Sea to annihilate millions of dragons. He distributed a considerable amount of the spoils to some of his followers, such as the Golden-Bearded Toad Ancestor, but naturally, the lion's share went to him, the Demon Emperor.

Originally, he intended to use the dragon blood and souls, along with the numerous treasures he had collected over the years, to refine new divine abilities and strengthen his demonic body. However, plans often go awry, and he himself hadn't anticipated such a crushing defeat at the hands of Lu Xiaotian. Fortunately, he had collected enough dragon blood and souls, which could alleviate some of his immediate crisis.

The Ancient Demon Emperor refined the blood of these demons and dragons, as well as the remnants of various races, at an astonishing speed. Under the operation of his secret technique, the injuries in his body that had been difficult to heal were now recovering at an amazing rate.

Lu Xiaotian stood on the opposite bank of the giant river, looking in confusion at the Moon Shadow Wilderness Forest covered by the Desolate Tide Array. Although it was blocked by many restrictions, he could still sense the amazing blood energy fluctuations on the other side.

It also contained the aura of the dragon race. As a dragon himself, and having condensed a bloodline Dao seed, he was extremely sensitive to this kind of blood energy; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to detect this fluctuation.

It seems the Ancient Demon Emperor also has his own plans, but it remains to be seen whether this old demon's plan can be carried out smoothly.

A smile played on Lu Xiaotian's lips. With the successive birth of Bodhi Star Spirit, Bodhi Moon Spirit, and Bodhi Yang Spirit, these Buddhist spirits related to Buddhism, while not particularly powerful in combat, allowed Lu Xiaotian to comprehend the wonders of Yin and Yang transformations in the Buddhist realm.

The Buddhist teachings subtly align with the Hunyuan Sutra, and the various laws and mysteries are not yet fully integrated. For now, there is only such an intention, but in the darkness, Lu Xiaotian's application of various laws becomes more effortless.

A small improvement in artistic conception can have a very noticeable impact on actual combat performance.

At this moment, not only the Buddha Lotus, the Silver Leaf Buddha Paulownia, the Golden Leaf Buddha Orchid, and thousands of Bodhi Star Spirits, Bodhi Moon Spirits, Bodhi Yang Spirits, and countless stars also merged into the system of the Myriad Buddhas Divine Weaving.

If these Buddhist artifacts had previously seemed somewhat loosely connected, they now felt perfectly rounded, like an inseparable whole.

"Damn it, the Dragon Domain Lord has made another breakthrough in his methods. The Desolate Tide Formation may not be able to withstand it." The expressions of Feng Jie Demon Lord and Moon Sky Palace Master changed drastically.

They couldn't discern the specific mysteries of the changes in the Buddhist realm, but these changes were undeniably real. The numerous Buddhist relics within the Buddhist realm resembled a vast army; their previous attacks had been somewhat loose, but now they had united into an impenetrable formation.

The giant waves continued to crash against the passage formed by the various Buddhist artifacts. The force of the attack remained largely unchanged, and the passage, which had been barely holding on, was now slowly widening.

Golden-leaved orchids, silver-leaved paulownia trees, pure lotuses, or even boundless black lotuses, and fiery red lotuses are distributed in a well-organized manner, exuding a mysterious sense of order. The celestial bodies impacting from afar also resonate with these sacred Buddhist objects and numerous Buddhist spirits.

The giant waves remained, but the opponent had subtly changed. The passage formed by the Buddhist artifact was gradually widening, and no matter how much the Desolate Tide Array impacted it, it could not stop the expansion of the Buddhist domain passage.

Many demons were terrified when they saw this scene, and the widening of the passage also meant that the tragic impact of the stars on the demon realm would be repeated.

However, figures like Feng Jie, the Demon Lord, and the Lord of the Moonlit Palace knew that they would face even greater difficulties than before. Their strength hadn't changed, and was even declining, while the terrifying Lord of the Dragon Realm was steadily rising. This ebb and flow was far from over; how could they possibly withstand it?
"I suppose the Emperor is also considering retreating." The Moon Palace Master glanced at the third group of Double-Pupil Sunflower Rhinoceros Clan members who had begun to withdraw after receiving the order, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"I hope so." A sense of unease welled up in Feng Jie Demon Lord's heart. He was not clear about the specific plans of the Ancient Demon Emperor, but as a titled Demon Lord, he also had the phantom of the world-suppressing object within him, and he knew better than the Moon Sky Palace Master what losing this object meant.

The Ancient Demon Emperor's strength and status are far higher than his. The fact that he has been able to remain hidden until now is probably because, as Lu Xiaotian said, the world-suppressing artifact within his body has already dissipated.

Under these circumstances, the Ancient Demon Emperor is even more dangerous than before. No one can predict what he is thinking or what he will do to protect his position as Demon Emperor.

The Ancient Demon Emperor naturally left a way out in the Moonshadow Wilderness, and it seemed reasonable to gradually withdraw the Oak Rock Clan and other tribes. However, it was just too reasonable from a normal perspective, but it seemed extremely abrupt in the current awkward situation of the Ancient Demon Emperor.

Feng Jie, the Demon Lord, had some doubts but no way to verify them, while the impact of the stars on the Desolate Tide Array had reached an unprecedented level. Violent tremors arose one after another.

With a series of booming sounds, the barrier exploded under the intense impact. After hundreds of years of battles, Lu Xiaotian was extremely familiar with this great formation. In less than two hours, the stars broke through the barrier, creating a small but significant gap.

"Slash!" As three or four celestial bodies poured in through the gap, the Desolate Demon Guards guarding the area simultaneously unleashed their broad demonic swords and slashed down.

Several celestial bodies were cleaved with sword marks of varying sizes before scattering and shattering into countless star stones. The Desolate Beast Immortal Guards, stationed at the rear, remained unmoved.

"What amazing Huanggu Demon Guards!" Lu Xiaotian made no attempt to hide his praise for the Huanggu Demon Guards.

The Desolate Beast Demon Guards before him, without a single Demon Lord-level expert making a move, had withstood the impact of several celestial bodies without suffering any casualties, and their formation remained completely intact. Their combat strength was in no way inferior to the top-tier immortal army within the Netherworld Abyss, and even surpassed the previous Weilong Army by a significant margin. The Desolate Beast Demon Guards' astonishing performance impressed Lu Xiaotian and piqued his interest. Defeating such an enemy force would be a challenge for Lu Xiaotian as well.

In contrast, when a gap was opened in the Desolate Tide Array, the increasingly clear dragon blood and the aura of the remnant dragon souls were no longer so important. Those remnant dragon souls had been refined by the Ancient Demon Emperor for hundreds of years, and their spiritual consciousness was incomplete, making them impossible to save.

In that case, focusing on dealing with the Desolate Demon Guard is a more pragmatic choice.

Last time at Mingtian Gorge, Lu Xiaotian hadn't fully experienced the power of the Heavenly Emperor's personal guards when the Mingluo Heavenly Emperor returned at the right time. This time, he was determined to have a good experience and see what shortcomings the Weilong Army and the Baxuan Dragon Soldiers still had compared to true top-tier combat power.

It would be difficult for the dragon army to fight against the entire immortal realm on its own. Just like Lu Xiaotian himself, relying entirely on his own cultivation, he is probably still far from advancing to the Heavenly Dragon Realm. His current strength is all due to numerous battles, plundering the luck of enemies, and building it on the corpses of his enemies.

The current situation was established by the destruction of the dragon race in the past. If the dragon race wants to rise again, it will inevitably have to go through a bloody battle.

In fact, Lu Xiaotian only wanted a relatively stable region, but the Immortal Realm would not agree. If the other party had not been so aggressive and wanted to kill all the dragons, Lu Xiaotian would not have gathered all the dragons to fight against the Immortal Realm.

The Buddhist realm was a unified whole, and vitality represented spirituality. The intensity of the attacks was not much different from before, but the pressure brought to the Moonshadow Wasteland by the combination of various Buddhist techniques was completely different.

Silver-leafed Buddhist paulownia, golden-leafed Buddhist orchid, pure Buddhist lotus, boundless black lotus, and Ye fire red lotus crossed the Demon River and continued to spread towards the main formation of the Desolate Tide.

Various roots and stems, intertwined with Buddha's light, with Bodhi Star Spirit, Bodhi Moon Spirit, Bodhi Yang Spirit, and others wandering within, are gradually dismantling the foundation of the Desolate Tide Array at a seemingly gentle but actually quite rapid pace as they spread and permeate through the roots and stems.

A few or even dozens of stars are far from enough to shake the Desolate Demon Guards. However, as the restrictions of the Desolate Tide Array are continuously broken, more and more stars pour into the gaps, and the attacks on the Desolate Demon Guards naturally intensify.

Clang! Clang! Hundreds of Wild Goose warriors slashed their heavy swords at the attacking celestial body. This time, unlike before, they could not directly cleave the celestial body. Instead, it was as if they had struck an indestructible behemoth, and the sound of metal clashing against stone rang out.

Golden and silver Buddhist light burst forth from within, causing hundreds of Huanggu warriors to cough up blood and fly backward.

Seeing dozens of celestial bodies rushing in through the gap, intending to take advantage of the chaos to increase casualties, a trident flew across the sky and swiftly deflected the dozens of celestial bodies one after another, preventing the Desolate Demon Guards from suffering astonishing casualties.

Then, a flash of black light appeared, and a demon with a purple horn, a bull's head, and four eyes appeared. Holding a trident, it looked solemnly at the starry sky outside the gap. It was the commander of the Desolate Bull Demon Guard, the Desolate Bull Saint Demon. Although it was not a titled Demon Lord, its demonic energy was so strong and powerful that it was even stronger than that of ordinary Demon Lords.

In the past, the Ancient Demon Emperor was not needed here; with him in charge, the Moonshadow Wilderness was as stable as Mount Tai. But now, the Desolate Demon Guards no longer felt the same sense of security. The crisis facing the Desolate Demon Guards had only just begun. Although the Dragon Domain Lord on the other side did not have a large army with him, the Void Stars had accumulated a powerful force that could completely make up for this deficiency.

The Ancient Demon Emperor had previously taken control of the Desolate Tide Array to contend with the enemy, but he never showed himself. Instead, he began to withdraw the demons from various tribes, starting with the Oak Rock Clan. At this time, the demon tribes guarding the Moon Shadow Wilderness were no longer focused on resisting the powerful enemy.

Although it didn't collapse directly, they were hoping to evacuate as soon as possible to avoid the terrible impact of the stars.

Even the most elite Wild Goose Demon Guards were somewhat affected by this situation, and their combat strength was no longer at its peak. Once all the other demons had withdrawn, their morale would inevitably decline further. After all, the Wild Goose Demon Guards were also made of flesh and blood and were individuals with their own consciousness.

Like Feng Jie, the Demon Lord, and the Lord of the Moon Palace, Huang Gu Sheng Mo was also unclear about the Demon Emperor's plans. He actually left Huang Gu Demon Guards behind as a last resort. In the past, even if all the other factions had suffered heavy casualties, he would never have made such a choice so easily.

Confusion was one thing, but the Demon Emperor's orders had to be carried out. The Wild Goose Demon Guards were absolutely loyal and obedient to the Demon Emperor. Otherwise, any other tribe would have collapsed under such dire circumstances.

With a deafening roar, the opposing celestial body was pushed back, but the formation base was further weakened. The Wild Goose Demon Guard was restricted from counterattacking and could only defend cautiously, causing its injuries to quickly worsen.

The Holy Demon of the Desolate Gu is exceptionally powerful, a top expert whose strength is comparable to that of the Dragon Seal Cult Master and the Sheng Yang Cult Master. When the second and third barriers begin to break, the Holy Demon of the Desolate Gu, no matter how strong he is, can only protect one of them.

Under its command, the Desolate Demon Guards formed a battle array, and their demonic swords shattered countless celestial bodies.

However, there was only one Desolate Demon Lord in the Moon Shadow Wilderness, so the Wind Demon Lord and the Moon Sky Palace Master were also transferred over to plug the gap.

The effect of having a Demon Lord-level expert in charge is indeed immediate. With Lu Xiaotian's abilities, it is difficult to make a breakthrough in these old demon-guarded positions in a short period of time.

However, the Desolate Tide Formation was shaken, and the barrier effect of the giant river was greatly reduced. The Buddhist domain formed by many Buddhist artifacts spread in this direction. With the momentum established, the Starry Buddhist Domain had completely taken the initiative. While maintaining a considerable attack force, it also began to open gaps in the Desolate Tide Formation from other directions.

Both sides' intentions were clear, and the battle became increasingly fierce, prompting Lu Xiaotian to sigh inwardly.

If the other side were allowed to act freely, with just these few Demon Lord-level old monsters, the Desolate Gu Demon Guards, and the other demon army, even with his current strength, let alone the past five hundred years, even if he were given several times more, or even longer, it would be extremely difficult for him to invade the Moon Shadow Wilderness.

Sometimes defeat is not due to a powerful enemy, but rather to one's own actions or the chaotic orders from above.

By confining the various demon tribes to fixed territories and later gradually removing some tribes, this was seen as chaotic and disorganized by powerful figures like the Desolate Demon Saint and even some primordial spirit demon bodies.

With the Demon Emperor in command, no one dared to disobey such an order. They harbored a sliver of hope that the Ancient Demon Emperor's gradual withdrawal of these tribes would soon be their turn, until a furious roar shattered all their illusions. (End of Chapter)
