Chapter 1635 Now they have no other choice
The battlefield was filled with the stench of flesh and broken souls. The battle between humans and demons had reached a fever pitch. Every inch of land was soaked in blood, and every gust of wind carried the agonizing cries of the dying.

This is the purgatory where Xuan Guangtian and the Demon Realm meet.

At this moment, the panic in the demon camp was far greater than the carnage on the battlefield.

Those ninth-tier demons hovering in the sky, exuding terrifying auras, had not only the pain of their kin from the upper realm falling in their eyes, but also a despair that penetrated to their very bones.

Behind the defensive line, the large number of fellow cultivators who supported the foundation of the demon race's fighting power had all been annihilated, leaving not even a trace of their lives behind.

Those were not ordinary demon cultivators; they were the vast majority of ninth-tier great demons deep behind the demon defense line.

They are the demon race's top combat reserves and the core force supporting the operation of the Star Gate.

But now, everything is gone in a single day, leaving no trace of their remains.

This realization was like a sharp blade tempered with demonic fire, piercing the heart of every ninth-tier great demon.

This means that the colossal star gate that the Demon Clan painstakingly built, using all their resources, may no longer be able to be defended.

Once that colossal star gate is completely destroyed, it will sever the only connection between the Demon Realm and Xuan Guangtian, and cut off all of the Demon Realm's support and escape routes.

The demons' meticulously planned surprise attack, prepared over a thousand years, will ultimately fail and vanish in vain.

Thinking of this, the countless ninth-tier demons outside the demon defense line, whose auras were overwhelming, could no longer suppress the panic in their hearts.

They turned around in unison, their bodies blazing with demonic flames, and were about to roar towards the rear of the defensive line.

Its speed was so fast, carrying a destructive and ferocious aura, as if it wanted to arrive at the location of the Star Gate in an instant.

They now have no other choice.

No matter how fierce the fighting outside the demonic defenses was, it was not as important as the safety of the Star Gate.

They must do everything in their power to return to the rear of the demonic defenses, even at the cost of their lives, to defend that colossal star gate that is crucial to the survival of their entire race.

As for the human cultivators outside the defensive line who were eyeing them covetously, they could only be abandoned for the time being, allowing them to barely hold out for a while with the defensive barrier on the line.

Even though the barrier was already riddled with cracks, and even though the human cultivators behind the barrier had suffered heavy casualties.

But how could those human cultivators at the Integration Realm outside the demonic defenses let them have their way?

Almost the instant those ninth-tier demons turned around, many human cultivators had already discerned their intentions.

Without the slightest hesitation, figures rushed forward like arrows released from a bow, using their flesh and blood as shields and their life's cultivation as blades, tightly binding every ninth-tier demon who tried to leave.

In terms of pure combat, human cultivators might be slightly inferior to demons, after all, the foundation of a ninth-order great demon is too profound, and the demons' techniques are also very domineering.

However, if the goal is simply to entangle these ninth-tier demons and prevent them from advancing, then it would be much simpler.

Human cultivators are well-versed in this, and each of them is fearless in the face of death.

Even when severely injured by demonic arts, even when their bodies were shattered, they still clung tightly to those demonic cultivators, using their last bit of strength to delay them for a moment.

The human cultivators at the Integration Realm outside the demonic defense line were perfectly aware of the situation.

At this critical moment, we absolutely cannot allow these ninth-tier demons to return to the rear of the defensive line and cause trouble.

If they succeed, the defenses of the Star Gate will be more secure, and humanity's chances of winning will be reduced.

All the sacrifices of the cultivators ahead will become meaningless.

Thus, another great battle broke out outside the demon's defensive line, even more brutal and frenzied than before.

The cultivators of both races completely abandoned all restraints, exhausting their life's cultivation to attack each other frantically.

Every collision is enough to tear the heavens and the earth apart; every move is accompanied by the fall of countless lives.

Both sides in the battle were top-tier cultivators from the lower realm, representing the pinnacle of power between the human and demon races.

Even if they casually make a move, it is a terrifyingly powerful attack that can destroy the world.

Spiritual energy clashed with demonic flames, and thunder and roars intertwined.

In an instant, the colorful spiritual light intertwined and collided with the pitch-black, putrid demonic smoke.

The deafening roar echoed throughout the heavens and the earth.

The entire land of Xuan Guangtian trembled incessantly, mountains and rivers collapsed, rivers overflowed, and the world was in a state of apocalypse.

Su Fan was completely unaware of the earth-shattering battle taking place outside the defensive line.

In fact, even if he knew, he would never care.

Despite the fact that countless human cultivators are fighting for their lives and doing everything in their power to help him block those ninth-tier demons and buy him time to reach the Star Gate.

As a result, countless human cultivators at the Integration Realm fell one by one at the hands of the demons, their blood almost staining the land of Xuan Guangtian red.

In Su Fan's view, even if those ninth-tier demons broke through the barriers and returned to the rear of the defensive line to do their best to protect the Star Gate, they could not stop his advance.

Even that couldn't stop his determination to destroy the Star Gate and end this catastrophe.

Finally, despite the desperate resistance of the human cultivators, Su Fan, controlling the evil spirit domain that enveloped the heavens and earth, and carrying an endless army of bizarrely shaped creatures exuding an aura of death, broke through the demons' layers of obstruction and arrived at the location of the demons' colossal star gate.

He hovered tens of thousands of feet in the sky, his clothes fluttering, his body surging with evil spirits, his cold gaze looking down at the super star gate in the distance that was powerful enough to shake the heavens and the earth.

His eyes were devoid of any emotion, only displaying a resolute determination capable of destroying the world.

It must be said that the super star gate built by the demon race with all their painstaking efforts and the full strength of the race is truly magnificent, yet also incredibly bizarre and ferocious.

The base of the Star Gate is a massive altar made up of the bones of countless demons and other creatures.

The pale bones were piled up in layers, like a mountain, emitting a pungent stench of decay and blood.

The altar of bones covered an area of ​​hundreds of miles in radius, stretching as far as the eye could see. On every inch of the bones, there remained lingering resentment and unwillingness.

Above the altar of bones stood a thick, blood-red pillar of light, nearly a hundred miles in diameter.

Within the pillar of light, countless wronged souls howled and struggled, the blood-red light dazzling and terrifying, piercing straight into the vast sky, connecting with the vortex in the high sky, exuding an aura of world destruction.

Ten thousand meters above the ground, there was an even larger and more bizarre black vortex.

At this moment, the black vortex was slowly rotating, and within it, demonic energy surged, with the outline of the demon plane vaguely visible.

Countless massive, cumbersome demonic bone ships, adorned with spikes and skeletons, are pouring out of the vortex and sailing into Xuan Guangtian's territory, becoming a continuous source of support for the demonic raids.

The countless demon cultivators guarding the Star Gate were already engulfed by the carnage and panic of the battlefield. When they saw the vast, sky-covering evil spirit domain hurtling towards them with a world-destroying aura, they went berserk.

Their eyes were bloodshot, and their faces were filled with despair and madness.

"Awoo... Awoo..."

A series of extremely shrill screams rang out, filled with fear, anger, and a desperate, all-or-nothing resolve.

In the blink of an eye, countless demon cultivators swarmed out, densely packed together, blocking the entrance to the starry sky and forming an indestructible demon wall.

Countless demon cultivators gathered there, stretching from the ground all the way into the sky, with no end in sight.

Their bodies blazed with demonic flames, their aura becoming violent.

Every demon cultivator's face was filled with solemnity, their eyes revealing a resolute determination to live and die with the Star Gate.

All the demon cultivators knew that once this star gate was destroyed, they would have no way out and would never be able to return to the demon plane.

What awaits them is a death without a burial place, an end where their souls are scattered and their spirits are destroyed.

"Awoo..."

At this moment, a ninth-tier demon floating in the sky suddenly let out an extremely frenzied howl.

The howl shook the heavens and earth, and caused the eardrums of the surrounding demon cultivators to rupture.

Its entire body was immediately enveloped in a thick, impenetrable black demonic smoke, mixed with a pungent, bloody stench.

The demonic blood all over its body boiled violently like boiling water, gushing out from the gaps in its scales, staining its body and the surrounding sky red.

In an instant, the nauseating aura of demonic blood spread everywhere, enveloping the entire sky above the Star Gate, and the malevolent energy in the world became even more violent.

Its enormous demonic body suddenly expanded, its original height of several thousand feet suddenly increasing in size by nearly double, becoming even more ferocious and terrifying.

His aura surged several times over, and the overwhelming pressure made the demon cultivators below tremble in fear.

This ninth-tier demon was already determined to die. It did not hesitate to burn its own essence and risked its life to activate its clan's forbidden "Blood Explosion Divine Power".

They sacrifice their own life force and essence in exchange for a sudden surge in strength.

All they wanted was to hold off Su Fan for a little longer, to buy a chance for the Star Gate to survive.

Immediately afterwards, all the ninth-tier demons floating in the sky let out one frantic howl after another.

Their eyes were resolute, and without the slightest hesitation, they all followed the example of that ninth-tier great demon and resolutely activated the "Blood Burst Divine Power".

Not only those ninth-tier demons, but also all the demon cultivators gathered in front of the bone altar and blocking the gate of the starry sky were included.

Whether they were high-ranking demon generals or low-ranking demon soldiers, they all activated their Blood Explosion Divine Power almost simultaneously, with not one retreating or hesitating.

In an instant, a dense aura of demonic blood spread everywhere, staining the sky, the earth, and the massive bone altar red.

The entire world was dyed a ghastly crimson.

That color was the color of blood, the color of despair, the color of destruction.

They all knew very well that the Blood Explosion Divine Power was a forbidden technique of the Demon Race.

Once the "Blood Burst Divine Power" is unleashed, what awaits them after the power's effects wear off is the severe side effect of their cultivation being completely destroyed, their bodies shattering, and they may even perish directly.

But at this point, these demon cultivators couldn't care less about anything else.

Compared to the safety of the Star Gate, and the survival of the entire race, their own cultivation and life had long become insignificant.

Even if they ultimately meet a fate of being shattered to pieces, they will fight with their last ounce of strength to protect this star gate that concerns the fate of their entire race.

Seeing the overwhelming aura of demonic blood that almost enveloped the entire world, Su Fan couldn't help but sneer.

The laughter was icy and chilling, carrying undisguised disdain and contempt. It pierced through the sky full of demonic blood and roars, echoing clearly between heaven and earth.

If this is all you've got, you can't possibly guard this super star gate.

With this in mind, Su Fan no longer hesitated and slowly opened his arms again.

The evil aura surrounding him grew increasingly violent. Then, his eyes narrowed, a cold light flashed in them, and he suddenly raised his hands upwards with a swift and decisive movement, carrying a world-destroying resolve.

"Rumble..."

As he opened and raised his arms, the entire world instantly changed color.

The sky, which had been stained red with crimson demonic blood, suddenly darkened, and a deafening roar resounded.

It was even more terrifying than the roar of the previous battle between the two races, shaking the mountains and rivers, causing the bone altar to tremble slightly, and even causing the star vortex in the sky above to become disordered for a moment.

The gray-black mist surrounding him, which had enveloped a vast area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, suddenly began to surge wildly, billowing and raging like a raging torrent.

The already dense, dark gray fog became even more violent, sweeping across all directions with an aura of death and destruction.

The evil spirit domain, already filled with death, fear, and wickedness, was now fully activated, with countless ghostly figures and vengeful spirits struggling and howling wildly within it.

The howl was sharp and piercing, even more desperate than the roars of the demons, sending chills down one's spine, and even the demon cultivators couldn't help but feel a coldness in their hearts.

A thick, dark gray fog, obscuring the sky, surged up like a Category 10 hurricane, or a raging black tsunami, unstoppable and with a devastating momentum, sweeping towards the Gate of Stars.

Wherever it passed, the air was torn apart, the demonic energy was devoured, and even the light was completely blocked.

In the blink of an eye, this place was filled with howling winds and flying sand and stones.

The broken bones on the altar were swept up by the gale and flew everywhere, creating chaos in the world.

Only the crimson pillar of light remained stubbornly standing on the altar, confronting the thick, gray-black fog.

The once bright world seemed to have been forcibly dragged into a dark abyss by an invisible hand, suddenly becoming much dimmer.

Only the thick, gray-black fog and crimson demonic blood remained, intertwining to create an even more tragic and desperate apocalyptic scene.

Meanwhile, the endless evil and bizarre legion controlled by Su Fan was also empowered by the Law Domain, and they all let out extremely sharp howls.

The howl was filled with a bloodthirsty thirst and a desire for destruction, and then, like a tidal wave, it roared and surged madly toward the colossal star gate in the distance.

The endless, grotesque monsters, like Mars colliding with Earth, clashed violently with the demon cultivators blocking the doorway.
