I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Unfortunately, the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord underestimated the Demon Lord. Her sacrifice only caused one Demon Ancestor to fall into a deep sleep.

Although the Demon Lord cannot be sealed or killed, she is no match for Bixia's power in the underworld.

Left with no other choice, she had to leave the underworld and return to the human world.

After years of struggle, she returned to the human world, but apart from having lost some of her true spirit, she gained nothing at all!

As for her increased authority as the Demon Lord, that was not the result of her efforts, but rather the time had come, and with some assistance from the Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm emerged on its own.

The Demon Lord felt increasingly humiliated and furious. If she didn't get her revenge, how could she ever face the world again?

"My children, follow me to conquer the Three Realms! First, we will destroy the mortal realm, then we will destroy the immortal realm!"

The Demon Lord's decree quickly resounded in the hearts of all demons.

In fact, even without the Demon Lord's command, they would still cause trouble.

The Western Continent has been completely overrun, and the Immortal Realm is also engulfed in war.

With the Demon Lord's call, the demons became even more excited, howling and threatening to destroy the immortal realm and the human world.

Thus, a new war began.

Lin Yi had only rested for one night when he learned some shocking news the next morning.

The demons have attacked.

This time, the Demon Lord is utterly insane.

According to Lin Yi's understanding, the Demon Lord must leave a spark for humanity, otherwise where will they get human desires to feed on in the future?

However, the Demon Lord now only wants to get revenge.

All the people on the Western Continent were originally controlled and kept in captivity by the demon race.

Now they have all become food for the demons, and their remains have been turned into various demonic puppets.

After pacifying the Western Continent, the Demon Lord planned to cross the ocean and exterminate the Eastern Human Race once again.

Knowing of the Demon Lord's plan, the Heavenly Dao of the Human Realm hastily erected a barrier, completely isolating the Eastern and Western Continents.

However, this barrier has a limited lifespan; it can only last for a maximum of one month.

At that time, the demons will surely arrive.

After setting up this barrier, the Heavenly Dao of the Human Realm entered a state of complete hibernation, only transmitting the message to the Great Serpent.

Originally, the Heavenly Dao had suffered severe damage and needed to recover through hibernation.

However, the Demon Lord's desire to destroy the world awakened the Heavenly Dao, forcing it to use all its power for defense.

At this point, the Heavenly Dao was completely unable to awaken.

Perhaps, after sleeping for thousands of years, He will be able to regain even a little bit of His power.

But the human world is already in grave danger. If it cannot survive this calamity, the Heavenly Way may never awaken again.

Upon receiving the message, the giant snake rushed over to tell Lin Yi that at this moment, he was the only one who could save the world.

Lin Yi was still fantasizing that after defeating the Immortal Realm and then easily dealing with the Demon Realm, he could go find Ling Yi.

Unexpectedly, the giant serpent brought the Demon Lord's latest plan.

If Lin Yi were to fight the Demon Lord now, he might not necessarily lose.

However, the serpent said that the Demon Lord would not appear; she would only hide and direct the demons to kill all living beings in the human world.

The Western Continent has been completely destroyed. If Lin Yi cannot come up with a solution within a month, then the East will be in danger.

Lin Yi himself was naturally not afraid of the demons; the demons could not shake his will or harm his body.

He was invincible against the demons.

However, the Demon Lord clearly knew this, so he simply did not fight him head-on, but instead took this opportunity to exterminate all living beings.

Forget about humans, you'd burn even the anthills on the ground to ashes.

Lin Yi knew about the Demon Lord's scheme, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Do you have any ideas?

Lin Yi looked at the giant snake, hoping it could offer some useful advice.

You're my teammate, after all. You've been lying down for so long, you should at least do something, right?

Seeing Lin Yi's expectant gaze, the giant snake felt somewhat ashamed.

She wasn't unaware of the solution; rather, she knew there were two methods.

But these two methods were a bit too cruel for Lin Yi.

The mortal realm cannot fight against the demons, but the celestial realm can.

The celestial realm has many ways to protect believers.

Therefore, one method is to surrender to the celestial realm, which will then send celestial gods down to fight against the demons.

Lin Yi is very strong in combat, but not strong in defense.

Only in the celestial realm does such power to protect the world exist.

Previously, Lin Yi's method of protection was to kill all the enemies so that his own people would be safe. Now it's different. The demons are unkillable, and Lin Yi is helpless against them.

But Lin Yi has fought for so long and endured for so many years, finally managing to drive back the Immortal Realm. Now, is he going to bow down to the Immortal Realm again?

The giant snake simply couldn't utter those words.

The other method would also require Lin Yi to sacrifice himself.

Lin Yi possesses immense physical strength, his bloodline is incredibly powerful, and he has the ability to counter the demon race.

Lin Yi himself didn't know, but Heaven knew.

The reason Lin Yi was able to save Jiang Linglong and bring her back to her senses from the brink of losing control was not because he fed her, but because of his blood.

Jiang Linglong was not cursed, but corrupted by demonic forces.

Only Lin Yi can suppress this pollution.

The reason she hasn't had a relapse all these years is because the blood transfusion from Lin Yi has been consistently effective.

The blood Lin Yi gave her was enough to suppress her demonic nature for another three or four thousand years.

If Lin Yi were to unleash his own blood, it would be enough to suppress the demon race's chaos.

At the very least, it can drive the demons back to the demon realm.

However, reaching that level would also be very dangerous for Lin Yi.

According to the prediction of Heaven, even if Lin Yi recovers his abilities, he will die after the outbreak.

If Lin Yi dies while fighting off the demons, the immortal realm will also make a comeback, and all his previous efforts will be in vain.

Neither of these two methods was acceptable, which is why the giant snake couldn't bring itself to speak.

Lin Yi was good at reading people's expressions. He could tell from her subtle glances that she had a plan but was unwilling to say it.

"Don't worry, no matter how difficult it is, tell me first. If you're really desperate, at least I'll be able to make a choice."

Upon hearing this, the giant snake was deeply saddened, but still revealed the two methods.

After listening, Lin Yi fell silent.

He underestimated the demons' determination.

If they want to prey on humans, he can still manage to deal with them.

They came with the intention of annihilating his clan, and Lin Yi was truly at a loss.

The main reason was that he didn't expect the Demon Lord to make a comeback and descend directly to the mortal realm.

Isn't she supposed to be in the underworld?

These two choices are really giving me a headache.

Lin Yi asked the giant snake to leave, as he wanted to be alone.

This is not a good choice.

Sacrificing oneself for the sake of all living beings sounds noble, but Lin Yi didn't want to do it.

He still has many things he wants to do that he hasn't finished.

He wanted to defy fate, defeat the immortal realm, find Lingyi, and openly rekindle his romance with Bixia...

"Has my sacrifice been enough to repay what I've received?"

"If it weren't for you, even if I hadn't come into this world, I probably would have been fine in my own time, wouldn't I?"

Lin Yi looked at the demon-slaying manual in his mind and began to interrogate himself.

He always felt that having obtained the Demon-Slaying Manual meant he had a responsibility.

But upon closer reflection, the Demon-Slaying Manual didn't actually instruct him to do anything; it was something he wanted to do himself.

Now that the time has come for him to sacrifice himself, it's okay if he doesn't want to, right?

Looking back on the ambitions he set before becoming king, Lin Yi was filled with emotion.

At the time, he also felt that he might sacrifice himself; however, he was young and full of passion.

Over the years, his passion hasn't faded much, but he's always in battle, and he's getting a little tired.

Moreover, the current situation is different from that of back then.

Back then, there was an opportunity to fight for a future with unlimited possibilities, but now, there are two different ways to die.

It's easy to talk about sacrifice, even if you've thought about the consequences of death.

But when it came to choosing how to die, he wasn't so resolute anymore.

"Actually, you have a third way."

Lin Yi was feeling down when he suddenly heard Yan Qingqiu's voice.

Turning around, I saw that it really was Yan Qingqiu.

"Why are you here? Weren't you supposed to be in charge of the palace?"
