Chapter 1421 The War Between Humans and Demons (Part Two)

Liu Changxu's slaying of the Great Ascension stage Giant Demon Emperor caused a huge shockwave in both the human and demon factions.

This exhilarating victory was like a raging fire, instantly igniting the morale of the human alliance. The cultivators' eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit, and their offensive became even more rapid and ruthless.

On the other hand, the trolls' morale plummeted after losing a Mahayana Demon Emperor, and their previously fierce offensive noticeably slowed down.

At this moment, the three ninth-tier demon emperors of the demon race, who had been waiting for a long time, finally made their move. They led their million-strong demon army into the battlefield like a tidal wave, their roars and howls echoing through the sky. They fought alongside the human cultivators, instantly turning the balance of power on the battlefield around.

The situation has now completely shifted in favor of the human alliance, and the dawn of victory is breaking.

However, how could the arrogant troll kings accept defeat? Suppressing their fear, they continued to lead their demon army in a desperate resistance.

After killing the first Demon Emperor, Liu Changxu quickly collected his body and storage bracelet. Then, he commanded all his innate spiritual treasures to change their target and launch a fierce attack on the other early-stage Mahayana Demon Emperor who was closest to him.

Unexpectedly, the Demon Emperor reacted extremely quickly. Seeing Liu Changxu turn his spear against him, how could he dare to linger in battle? He immediately transformed into a streak of demonic light and fled into the distance, not giving the other party a chance to get close at all.

Liu Changxu naturally wouldn't let him escape. With a flicker of his body, he used his teleportation ability to chase after the Great Ascension stage demon emperor.

The Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp and the Ruyi Void Mirror, which were suspended above Liu Changxu's head, also launched their attacks simultaneously. The Soul-Extinguishing Divine Light and the Void-Stabilizing Mirror Light intertwined to form a net, continuously shooting towards the fleeing Demon Emperor in order to slow down his escape.

The retreat of this Mahayana Demon Emperor struck the remaining troll demon emperors like a heavy hammer, instantly shaking their will to fight. They suddenly realized that if they delayed any longer, they might lose even their chance to escape.

In the blink of an eye, the six Mahayana-stage Demon Emperors made a decisive move, withdrawing from the battlefield and abandoning their giant demon army. They transformed into several black shadows and fled in panic into the distance.

Seeing the demon emperors of the troll race flee, the Mahayana Saint Emperors and Ninth-Order Demon Emperors of the human and demon races did not pursue them. Instead, they led their armies to launch a fierce mopping-up operation against the remaining troll remnants.

It wasn't that they were unwilling to pursue, but rather that they were well aware that even if they caught up with the fleeing Demon Emperors, they wouldn't be able to stop them. Instead, they might waste their strength. It was better to completely eliminate the remaining enemies in front of them first.

After pursuing him for hundreds of billions of miles, Liu Changxu, with the help of the Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp and the Ruyi Void Mirror, had caught up with the fleeing Demon Emperor of the Giant Demon Clan.

The light emitted from the Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror was like an invisible shackle, firmly imprisoning the Demon Emperor in the void, making it difficult for him to move.

The Soul-Destroying Light of the Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp, like a leech clinging to a bone, continuously eroded and severely damaged his soul. Coupled with the relentless attacks of dozens of ninth-tier innate spiritual treasures, this Demon Emperor, despite his unwillingness, ultimately failed to create a miracle and perished completely under the fierce onslaught of the Crimson Lotus Immortal Sword.

After slaying the second Demon Queen of the Troll Clan, Liu Changxu quickly collected her corpse and storage bracelet, then turned and returned to the battlefield.

By the time he returned to the front lines, the unprecedented war between humans and demons was nearing its end. The troll army, having lost its high-ranking commander, had long been routed by the combined forces of the human and demon allied armies. The remaining demon soldiers were still putting up a desperate resistance, but were merely clinging to life.

Upon seeing Liu Changxu's victorious return, the several Holy Emperors of the Human Race quickly gathered around him, their faces filled with undisguised admiration. Golden Wind Holy Emperor Huang Tianhu laughed heartily and said gratefully:
"Fellow Daoist Changxu, your skill is truly remarkable! You have slain two Demon Emperors in succession. You deserve the greatest credit for this victory and have rendered an unparalleled service to our human race!"

Empress Su Yuxue, the Holy Emperor of Flying Snow, also nodded in agreement:
"After this battle, the troll army has been severely weakened and will be unable to pose a fatal threat to our human race in the short term." The crowd exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief. Having annihilated two Mahayana-stage Demon Emperors and achieved victory in this battle, the human race had finally gained a chance to catch their breath, and the shadow of annihilation hanging over them had largely dissipated.

Liu Changxu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Although the troll race suffered heavy losses in this battle, six Mahayana Demon Emperors are still alive. As long as they have not left Taibai Star, they will always be a sword hanging over our heads. The most urgent task is to find their whereabouts as soon as possible, either to completely eliminate them or to drive them out of Taibai Star. We must not leave any future troubles."

He was actually quite displeased with the fact that the others had not pursued the Demon Emperor. If they had pressed their advantage, they might have had a chance to eliminate him completely. Letting him escape would have made him a major threat, and it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't make a comeback in the future.

However, since the battle had just ended, he could not openly express his dissatisfaction and could only subtly convey his concerns.

Upon hearing this, the smile on Golden Wind Saint Emperor Huang Tianhu's face faded slightly, and he said in a deep voice:

“Fellow Daoist Changxu is absolutely right. However, those six Demon Emperors are extremely fast and powerful. Even if we catch up with them, it will be difficult to kill them. It would be better to first send out spies to track their whereabouts, and then join forces to encircle and annihilate them once we have a clear understanding of their movements. That would be the safest course of action.”

“What Fellow Daoist Huang said makes sense, but we still need to find the remnants of the troll race as soon as possible. Everyone has important matters to attend to in their sects, and we can’t stay here for too long.”

Liu Changxu said in a calm tone:

Upon hearing this, everyone except the three Holy Emperors of Kunlun Holy Land nodded in agreement.

The Holy Emperor of Tianchi looked troubled and sighed:
"Yes, we have been stuck here for several years. The Heavenly Pool Holy Land is already weak, and we are really worried about it now."

Golden Wind Eagle Emperor spoke directly:

"This battle is basically over, and we should head back now. Fellow Daoist Huang, shouldn't you fulfill your promises?"

The Silver Moon Wolf King and the Crimson Fox Demon King echoed their sentiments. This time, they had led the demon army to the aid of the human race, fulfilling their promise to the human race. Once they received the promised resources, they would immediately set off to return to the demon race's territory.

Seeing this, Huang Tianhu responded loudly:

"Rest assured, everyone. I, Huang, always keep my word. The spiritual items we promised to the three of you will be delivered shortly. However, the remnants of the troll clan have not yet been eliminated, so please keep an eye out for their whereabouts on your return journey. If you have any news, please keep in touch with each other immediately."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Although the great battle had ended, the follow-up arrangements and potential hidden dangers still required the joint efforts of all parties to address.

Next, the group pursued the direction in which the six demon emperors had fled, determined to find their trail. However, after a full day and night of rapid travel, traversing towering mountains and crossing desolate deserts, they detected not even a trace of demonic energy. Clearly, the demon emperors had already concealed their presence. Frustrated, the group had no choice but to abandon the pursuit and turn back.

When they returned to the battlefield, the human cultivators and demons were busy counting their spoils of war.
