Chapter 1435 The Final Battle Between Humans and Demons (Part 4)

After Liu Changxu and Jin Haonan quickly divided the spoils, they immediately joined the pursuit of the Demon Emperor.

Having learned from their previous experience, the powerful figures of both the human and demon races pursued them with exceptional determination this time. Everyone knew that these demon emperors were all ruthless and cunning; if they were allowed to escape, they would surely return with a vengeance, unleashing countless bloody storms and posing a grave threat to everyone.

Liu Changxu's gaze swept across the battlefield and quickly locked onto a new target: a Demon Emperor in the early stages of the Mahayana realm who was fleeing in panic.

At this moment, the two who were relentlessly pursuing this Demon Emperor were Yu Wenzhong, the Green Wood Saint Emperor of the Nine Hua Holy Land, and Zhang Tianxiong, the Sky-Splitting Saint Emperor.

The two figures, one on the left and one on the right, intertwined their spiritual treasures into a net, tightly binding the Demon Emperor's path. Although the Demon Emperor tried his best to break free, his demonic energy surging like waves, he could not shake off the pursuers behind him, and his aura gradually became disordered.

Seeing this, Liu Changxu darted after them, shouting loudly:

"Brother Yu, Brother Zhang, I'm here to lend you a hand!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already summoned two innate spiritual treasures.

The Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp hung on his left shoulder, and the dark purple flame suddenly surged, instantly shooting out a dark purple beam of light that carried an eerie and terrifying power, shooting straight at the Demon Emperor.

The Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror floated on his right shoulder, its surface gleaming with silver light. A condensed, almost tangible beam of light shot out, instantly imprisoning the space around the Demon Emperor.

The terrifying spiritual light emitted by the two magical treasures intertwined, enveloping the Demon Emperor like a net. The Demon Emperor felt excruciating pain in his soul, as if the space around him had frozen, and even the flow of demonic energy became sluggish. He couldn't help but let out a roar of shock and rage.

Seeing this, Yu Wenzhong and Zhang Tianxiong perked up and their offensive became even more fierce:

"Thank you very much, Brother Liu!"

The silver light of the Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror wove a dense net in the void, firmly imprisoning the Mahayana stage Demon Emperor in the void.

His body was filled with surging demonic energy as he tried his best to break free from the confinement of the silver mirror light. No matter how hard he tried, he was like a trapped beast stuck in the mud, unable to move!
"hateful!"

As the Demon Emperor roared, his protective light shield suddenly expanded, quickly obscuring his figure as he attempted to withstand the impending fierce attack.

Liu Changxu's fingertips flashed with magic, and thirty-six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords moved in response. Crimson flames swept out like wildfire, the Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords weaving into a net, carrying the karmic fire of the Crimson Lotus that could incinerate all things, pouring down on the Demon Emperor like a torrential rain. Wherever the flames swept, even the void seemed to be scorched through.

"Join forces to vanquish the demon!"

With a low shout, the Azure Wood Saint Emperor Yu Wenzhong summoned a long azure wood staff that appeared before him. The staff tip flashed with azure light, and countless vines appeared out of thin air, coiling around the Demon Emperor like serpents. The thorns on the vines gleamed with a poisonous light.

Zhang Tianxiong, the Holy Emperor of Rending Heaven, then unleashed the Rending Heaven Axe. The giant axe cleaved through the sky with the power to shatter mountains and split rocks, fiercely striking the Demon Emperor's protective light shield.

The three attacks landed simultaneously, and the Demon Emperor's protective shield was instantly engulfed by crimson, azure, and fiery light. With a crisp "crack," a thin crack appeared on the shield, and then the cracks spread like a spider web, shattering it completely in the blink of an eye.

The crimson karmic fire seized the opportunity, instantly igniting the Demon Emperor's robes. He screamed in agony, trying to extinguish the flames, but was tightly bound by the green vines and unable to move. The immense force of the Sky-Splitting Axe followed, striking the Demon Emperor heavily on the shoulder. With a muffled thud of bones shattering, the Demon Emperor's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the spatial barrier of the Ruyi Void Mirror, spitting out black blood.

Before he could regain his footing, the Crimson Lotus Sword Formation attacked again, and the scorching flames completely engulfed his figure.

A moment later, the flames dissipated, leaving only a pale blue bracelet floating in the void. The Demon Emperor had turned to ashes and vanished with the wind, his very soul burned away by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

After Liu Changxu retrieved the magical treasure, he flicked his finger, and the light blue storage bracelet flew through the air and landed steadily in his palm.

Yu Wenzhong and Zhang Tianxiong flew over side by side, their robes still bearing the marks of the battle. The three of them met and smiled in unison, their laughter carrying the relaxation of the battle but also concealing their exhaustion.

At this moment, there were no other Demon Emperors around. The setting sun was like blood, turning the sky crimson. No one mentioned the pursuit again.

The three of them had exhausted their magical power in this fierce battle, and what they needed most at this moment was rest.

“Brother Yu, Brother Zhang,” Liu Changxu weighed the storage bracelet in his hand, “let’s divide the spiritual items inside first. As for how to divide them, let’s hear what you two brothers think.”

Yu Wenzhong and Zhang Tianxiong exchanged a glance, and the latter nodded slightly, signaling him to speak. Yu Wenzhong then said:

"Brother Liu deserves the greatest credit for slaying this Demon Emperor in this battle; Junior Brother Zhang and I merely assisted from the sidelines. In my opinion, we should each take half, and Brother Liu should take the remaining half. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Changxu nodded: "Then let's divide it according to Brother Yu's method!"

As he spoke, Liu Changxu first set up a concealment array on the ground to hide the three of them and prevent outsiders from spying on them. Then, he began to use his divine soul power to break the divine soul restriction left by the Demon Emperor in the storage bracelet.

Because he had experience breaking the soul restriction on the Demon Emperor's bracelet multiple times, Liu Changxu only took half an hour to break the soul restriction left by the Demon Emperor on the bracelet.

In an instant, countless streams of light flew out from the bracelet: high-grade pearls gleaming with various colors of spiritual light, mountains of top-quality spirit stones, and numerous jade slips containing secret manuals. ...

The three of them then excitedly began the work of counting, valuing, selecting, and distributing these spiritual objects.

Because these high-level spiritual items were diverse and valuable, it took the three of them half a day to distribute them all from the Demon Emperor's Bracelet.

As agreed beforehand, Liu Changxu received fifty-three pieces of ninth-grade spirit gold, including eleven mid-grade ninth-grade spirit gold pieces; forty-seven pieces of low-grade ninth-grade spirit jade, including nine mid-grade ninth-grade jade pieces; eleven ninth-grade spirit fruits, including two mid-grade ninth-grade dragon scale fruits, which, after consumption, could greatly enhance a cultivator's physical strength; and seventeen ninth-grade spirit herbs, including two mid-grade ninth-grade purple crystal mushrooms! ...

Besides these high-level spiritual items, the Demon Emperor Bracelet also imprisons hundreds of powerful figures from various races. However, Yu Wenzhong and Zhang Tianxiong had no interest in these imprisoned powerful figures and left it to Liu Changxu to handle.

After dividing the spoils, the three returned to their respective groups.

At this time, the human holy emperors who had been chasing the Demon Emperor had also returned and were directing the human allied forces to clear the battlefield.

Liu Changxu also met with Tianchi Saint Emperor Jin Haonan and White Tiger Saint Emperor Zhang Wenping. From them, he learned that, excluding Liu Changxu's own achievements, the human and demon races had only killed two Demon Emperors in this pursuit: one was killed jointly by Jin Haonan and Zhang Wenping, and the other was killed by the combined efforts of the two Demon Emperors. This meant that three Giant Demon Emperors were still at large, a situation that left Liu Changxu feeling helpless.
