The eldest sister was reborn and broke up, and the disciples were all panicked

Chapter 331 True Demon's True Form
Hongzhen's voice was filled with desolation and despair.

He struggled as well.

He also suffered.

However, the Thousand Machines Sect cultivates the Way of Prophecy.

Fate indeed has many possibilities. Therefore, he deduced it again and again, until finally, he was even willing to sacrifice his lifespan.

but.

What he received was not hope, but despair after despair.

He wasn't acting out of concern for his own survival.

After so many simulations, he probably doesn't have much time left to live.

He genuinely wanted to find a way out for the Thousand Machines Sect and for others as well.

His most trusted method of divination told him that seeking refuge with the giant tree was the only way to survive.

He cannot betray the conclusions he has deduced.

Just as he cannot betray his own principles.

at this point.

Others cannot understand.

However, the members of the Thousand Machines Sect, who were also skilled in calculation, felt the same way.

The better one is at deducing the future, the more visions one sees of it, and the more despair accumulates.

Are they only after their own lives?

What they are fighting for is the survival of the entire Southern Continent.

Someone wanted to unleash a torrent of curses. But he opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

They could hurl insults at someone like Yan Zhonghe without hesitation.

but.

How can they possibly criticize someone like Hongzhen?
Hongzhen risked his life to deduce the truth; he truly disregarded his own life and death.

His goal was the survival of the entire Southern Continent.

And everyone knew it. Hongzhen wasn't lying; he genuinely thought so, he truly believed he was acting in everyone's best interest.

“Therefore,” Hongzhen looked at his friend of a thousand years, “Yunrong, give up. Follow the Venerable One, and everything you have, everything the Cangyuan Sect has, will be preserved. Otherwise…”

A flicker of pain crossed Hongzhen's eyes.

He witnessed countless scenes of his friends being killed.

He didn't want to see it again in reality.

"Yes, yes, give up." The giant tree laughed wildly: "I said, I only want Li Shuang's life. Everyone else can be spared as long as they surrender. If anyone kills Li Shuang with their own hands and then surrenders, they will receive my reward and achieve the Tribulation Transcending Realm in one fell swoop!"

The giant tree's words were a blatant attack on Li Shuang.

He had considered turning Li Shuang against him, which would have been a major blow to Yu Jin.

but.

Who knows how many tricks Yu Jin might have up her sleeve for Li Shuang?
Then.

The best solution is to completely extinguish this hope for the future of humankind.

in the future.

A new Supreme True Demon has emerged in the Land of Absolute Desolation.

And the human race has lost a potential future supreme powerhouse.

The gap in strength is becoming apparent little by little.

and so.

Everyone can stay.

Only Li Shuang cannot be kept.

The giant tree finished speaking.

Yu Jin's expression immediately turned ugly.

Li Shuang's expression also instantly turned cold.

"Who dares to touch my disciple?" Lin Qingling was both shocked and furious. Without hesitation, she stood in front of Li Shuang. "Have you considered that he wants to kill Li Shuang so badly because Li Shuang must have something he fears! Killing Li Shuang is no different from destroying our own hope!" "That's right. Don't be bewitched by this demon." Ancestor Shenshang said slowly, "If we kill Li Shuang, it means we have already admitted defeat in our hearts. If that happens, then there is truly no hope of winning."

"I, Yan Fan, will never surrender." Yan Fan gritted his teeth and stepped forward. He said slowly, "I have been to the City of Ten Thousand Laws, and I have seen the countless blood debts committed by these foreign races in the scrolls there! Five hundred years ago! In order to grow rapidly, the foreign races wiped out three mid-level sects overnight! Four hundred years ago, the foreign races planted spies in both the righteous and demonic paths, causing misunderstandings between the two sides, leading to a war between the righteous and demonic paths, with rivers of blood flowing. In that war, thousands of human cultivators were killed or wounded. Three hundred years ago, the foreign races infiltrated the recruitment site and wiped out all the new human geniuses..."

Yan Fan began to recount the story in detail.

He glanced at the lingering avatar and said slowly, "But in recent years, these foreign races have been quite obedient?"

"Why?"

"It wasn't that they suddenly had a change of heart, nor that they changed their methods. It was because a peerless powerhouse suddenly appeared among the human race!"

"It's because the city lord is strong enough that he has suppressed the Land of Heavenly Desolation for hundreds of years!"

"Kowtowing to foreign races will not bring peace or a future."

"Only the strong can suppress everything; the strong live and the weak perish—this is the eternal truth!"

Yan Fan quickly finished speaking.

Li Shuang glanced at him with some surprise.

Yan Fan snorted coldly: "I may not be as strong as you, but I still have backbone."

Yu Jin suddenly smiled: "Yan Fan, is it? I'll remember you."

Yan Fan's face suddenly turned red.

After a long silence, he said, "Thank you!"

Yu Jin looked at the distraught Hong Zhen and said slowly, "There is a supreme expert among the human race who is also skilled at divination. He never divinations the fate of the human race. Because although the way of heaven has its course, the human heart is only a thought away. No one can predict the true ending. Even the heavens cannot control the human heart."

Hongzhen became increasingly dazed.

"Lord Yu, you've said a bit too much." The giant tree sneered, and suddenly stopped holding back, sending thousands of vines rushing towards Yu Jin.

Ember remained calm and unhurried. She transformed into lightning and rushed to the giant tree, then triggered the final thunderous explosion.

The lingering avatar slowly disappeared.

However, cracks also appeared on the giant tree.

next moment.

The tree bark rippled, and a huge, blood-red demonic shadow emerged from it.

At this moment, the Heavenly Devouring Demon Seed revealed its true demonic form!
His entire body was blood red, and strange patterns were engraved on his body, making it painful to look at.

Everyone was slightly dazed.

That's... terrifying.

But at the last moment, Ember used a dharma body to make everyone face true fear.

The oppressive force of the Heavenly Devouring Demon Seed hiding under the tree bark is on a completely different level compared to the True Demon Body that has now been fully exposed.

original.

They were facing such an enemy.

A trace of sorrow flashed in Hongzhen's eyes: "The future is not so easily rewritten. You can't even imagine how terrifying the Venerable One is."

A brief silence followed.

Sudden.

A sword light suddenly shot towards Li Shuang.

In the crowd, someone chose to attack Li Shuang!
Lin Qingling reacted quickly and intercepted the attack.

"How dare you!" Ancestor Shenshang was also furious. He reached out and instantly grabbed the person who had made the move.

That's... Master Lingxu!
"Lingxu!" Without hesitation, Ancestor Shenshang raised his palm to kill him.

A pale expression appeared on Lingxu Zhenren's face.

Did he... make the wrong bet?
But at that moment, a strange red light enveloped Lingxu Zhenren.

He was instantly drawn to the true demon.

The Heavenly Devouring Demon Seed laughed wildly: "Good, good, good! Finally, someone is starting to make the right choice. Although he failed to kill Li Shuang, as a reward, I will bestow upon him the cultivation level of the Tribulation Transcending Stage after this matter is over."

A look of wild joy flashed in Lingxu Zhenren's eyes.

He made the right bet!
