Chapter 1444: 1444
Xue Danru's white clothes were stained with blood . The clothes were almost all in red color now . She looked at the messy battle with a complicated expression on the face, and then subconsciously made a sigh .
Xuan Bing, Jun Yinglian, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han were out to the battlefield to check the West Hall people's bodies . They all seemed to be solemn and quiet .
"Most of the enemies have become dried corpses… It is a sign of the demonic souls being drained out . However, some of them look normal . I guess these are out of the effective area…"
Xuan Bing said, "What is the strangest about this is that… We are fighting in the West Hall, where the Demon Soul Dao is located . Now the West Hall people are all dead, so I don't understand . None of anybody from the Demon Soul Dao showed up to help them . Why? It just doesn't make sense . This is abnormal!"
Ye Xiao was about to say something after that, but then he sensed something, so he abruptly looked up and watched the sky .
A cloud of weird dark fog was leaving the sky fast .
"Stop!"
Ye Xiao raised up his head and shouted to the sky, said, "Zong Yuankai! Stop right there!"
That floating cloud of dark fog stopped after Ye Xiao shouted . It started to twist and then became a human shape of dense fog, flying up and down in the air . A voice sounded, and said, "Ye Xiao, keep going forward for three hundred miles more . That is the place where the battle between my Demon Soul Dao and your union of all sects in the Qing-Yun Realm is located!
"Listen! If you don't want the Qing-Yun Realm to become the world of demons, try to come and stop me!"
After saying out the last few words, Zong Yuankai, who appeared as a human shape of dark fog, flew away immediately without hesitation .
"Zong Yuankai!" Ye Xiao stared at the dark fog and said, "You built the West Hall by yourself! Now it is destroyed! Your son, your grandson, everybody in your family died in this battle! Are you really cold-blooded like this?"
It was truly the most curious fact that Ye Xiao couldn't understand .
According to what was happening at the moment, the Honor Demon, Zong Yuankai, had been watching the battle since the beginning . He might have arrived before the battle actually got started .
[Why didn't he get down and do something?]
[Did he just watch his son die in the battle like nothing happened?]
[Is this… Is this something a father does?]
The dark fog moved fast away, and what was left behind was only a few words . It was the demon's deep, cold, and murmuring voice .
"You and he have the same question, and you will get the same answer… It is… It is just a piece of demonic soul . Nothing more, nothing less . "
Hearing what he said in the end, everybody felt chilled in the heart .
[The same answer?]
[Just a piece of demonic soul . ]
[I can understand why you are so ruthless to your enemies . But how could you… How could you be so cruel to your own son?]
Everybody suddenly fell into silence .
They thought that every living thing had feelings, so even demons had feelings too . However, it turned out the demons were unbelievably cold-blooded . If the demon could treat his own son like that, he would show no mercy to anybody else . If the world truly fell into the demonic force, life in the world would definitely suffer . While they were bemoaning the tragedy, they also became more determined to destroy the demonic force!
Xuan Bing had quietly moved to Ye Xiao's side . She was frowning .
Wenren Chuchu hesitated for a while but eventually walked to Ye Xiao, and then whispered, "That… That Divine Yin Yang Fruit… It helps a cultivator to get to the top of the cultivation level but also plants the seed of demonic energy in the cultivator's body… As the seed of the demonic energy grows, and eventually demonizes the cultivator, will the cultivator totally lose the feelings of a human being?
"If not, how come the two world's most powerful cultivators in two generations, Zong Yuankai and Wu Fa, both became demonic creatures like this… They have totally lost their humanity…"
Wenren Chuchu asked in a low voice .
Ye Xiao was suddenly shaken up . He said loudly, "I see!"
That was the only reasonable explanation for Zong Yuankai and Wu Fa turning lunatic . There were no other reasons .
If they had at least one tiny bit of human feelings, they wouldn't be so ruthless!
Ye Xiao had been thinking a lot, trying to figure out the reason why Zong Yuankai and Wu Fa would become so inhuman . Unexpectedly, Wenren Chuchu's words enlightened him, and revealed all the secrets!
In fact, Erhuo had told Ye Xiao more than once that the Divine Yin Yang Fruit could not only boost one's cultivation power but also cause harm to the people who ate it . However, the fruits that Ye Xiao and his people ate were reformed by Erhuo, which meant those fruits were harmless . The darkest shadow was right under the feet when the light was over the head . Ye Xiao couldn't think of the fruits just because it was too easy to think of .
The fruit from the Demon's Realm did improve one's cultivation, but it also planted the seed of evilness in the body, which would start growing day by day . Eventually, what was planted inside the body would make the person a complete demonic creature . When the person became a total demonic creature, he or she would start to keep trying to build the demonic altars . The demonic creature would devote his or her life in turning the world into a demonic world, and an affiliated world to the Demon's Realm!
It was a long time from planting the seed by giving the fruits to the people in the targeted world to the day the infected people starting to contribute everything to conquer the world, but it cost the demons just a few fruits . Besides, they could get the fruits back!
Perhaps, the demons used the fruits as baits not only to collect the souls from the people, but also to plant the demonic seeds in the targeted world . After all, tens of thousands of years didn't seem to be a long time for a powerful realm like the Demon's Realm!
Ye Xiao was enlightened by Wenren Chuchu, and he finally thought through everything . Other than that, he had thought even further and had seen some more profound questions about the future . However, thinking it through was not a victory . He still had to do something to solve the problems he was facing at the moment . As for further questions, he must not spend too time on them until the future came . He truly didn't have the energy to deal with them at the moment!
"That thing… We ate the fruits too…" Wenren Chuchu seemed pretty worried . Her words had dragged Ye Xiao out of his thoughts and back to reality .
"The fruits you ate were reformed by an incredibly powerful man . There were no demonic seeds in the fruits . Don't worry about it . It is your own thoughts that terrify you!" Ye Xiao tried to explain to her, and then he felt heavy in the heart all of a sudden .
[The final battle is coming soon . ]
[Zong Yuankai has given up millions of his men's lives . Every one of the outer forces of the Demon Soul Dao, all the people of them that we know, he let them die in my hands . ]
[What for? Why did he do this?]
[He would never surrender . I know he wouldn't . It was impossible that he would succumb to his conscience and try to destroy the evil organization by himself!]
[There must be something he is after . He must be planning for something . ]
[Yue Changtian told me a lot about them . The most important thing I learned is the information about the altars . I guess the demonic altars are about to be completed!]
[Zong Yuankai didn't start the final battle of the war right away . Instead, he wants the battle to take place three hundred miles away . The fight in that place must be the last step to complete his nine altars!]
[That is why he did that . That is why he said that . That is why he would choose that place as the final battle . ]
[However… though I know to fight in the battle over there is want he wants, and it will help him on the altars, I have to go . I want to destroy this organization, and I want to wipe out all the demonic creatures . Even though I know it is a trap ahead of me, I will have to jump into it . As Zong Yuankai said, this is my only chance!]
[In another word, the battlefield three hundred miles away is somewhere I have to go . We can't miss it! We can't miss this battle!]
[This battle is the battle that decides the future of the Qing-Yun Realm!]
[No matter which side wins, it will lead to a new era in history!]
[It will be the beginning of a brand new history!]
[The world will either be a demonic world or a bright world!]
[It will be decided in this final battle!]
Ye Xiao took a deep breath . He looked pretty solemn all of a sudden, and said in a deep voice, "Guys, let's rest here and heal . Nobody takes any reckless moves .
"Zong Yuankai told us to fight three hundred miles away . He wants us to be there . He will not attack us right here right now . If he can do this, he would have done it, but he chose to wait .
"Therefore, we don't need to rush .
"Let's rest well, and recover ourselves to the prime status before slaughtering demonic creatures in the great final battle!
"What is ahead of us will be the real war against the demons!"
Under Ye Xiao's command, everybody stopped moving . They set camps and rest with patience .
The camps were three hundred miles away from the main base of the Demon Soul Dao .
Time flew and ten days passed as they stayed!
People started to feel confused about Ye Xiao's decision .
They didn't understand they had to keep waiting as they were already so close to the enemies! Their weapons could even stick to the enemy's nose!
They had been fighting in high spirit, winning all the battles along the way . However, they just didn't understand why they suddenly stopped while the final battle was right ahead of them .
Wouldn't it be good to just kill their way through and wipe out the enemies? It would be great to end the war soon, wouldn't it?
Many people were confused and having these thoughts .
However, Ye Xiao, Xuan Bing, and Jun Yinglian didn't see things the same way .
They did win a lot of battles on their way to the main base of the Demon Soul Dao . In fact, over seventy percent of the victories they gained were given by the enemy, which meant they were fake . Those enemies that died weren't that easy to kill at all . The Demon Soul Dao just abandoned them… The Demon Soul Dao let them die in the battles!
Ye Xiao had the deepest understanding about it .
When Zong Yuankai, the Honor Demon, showed up, Ye Xiao suddenly felt the strongest threat that he had ever sensed in his life . It was some extreme danger to him .
Ye Xiao always believed in his own feelings . Besides, he had sensed that Zong Yuankai must be at a higher level in cultivation than him . Otherwise, he would not have that kind of feeling .
That sternness and arrogance of Zong Yuankai made Ye Xiao realized how critical the reality was .
[There are always stronger people, as like there is always upper sky beyond the sky . I have been reaching invincibility all the way in my life, yet it doesn't mean I truly am invincible!]
[Zong Yuankai is such a powerful man, yet he still has to sacrifice millions of his people for the plan that he has devoted so much to! He must be after something magnificent!]
[Millions of cultivators are dead . The outer forces of the Demon Soul Dao are all wiped before he is finally ready for the last battle!]
[If I am Zong Yuankai, would I start the last battle before I am one hundred percent sure I can win?]
[Impossible! I would never do such a thing!]
[He would not allow even one tiny possibility to lose! He will make sure the result is absolute!]
[He must be so confident that he can kill us all in the final battle . ]
[Otherwise, he wouldn't let the final battle begin . ]
[After the fight against the people of the West Hall, we have lost quite some good people . If we go for the final battle just like this, we will definitely get defeated . We will become nutrient to the altars . ]
[However… We have to fight this battle . What should I do? How do I raise the odd to win this battle?]
[If we just go for it, we won't stand a chance . ]
[Yet we can't just give up!]
Ye Xiao had finally come to the situation where it was difficult to bot take a step forward or step back a little .
He had been asking himself the same question during the war .
[What should we do?]
[What should we really do!]
[We have to fight this battle!]
[But we will definitely lose it if we go!]
[What can we do to win the battle?]
His hair had almost all gone white because of the distressed in his heart .
After thinking again and again, it seemed there was one way he could do as he could think of .
That was why in the ten days, Ye Xiao had done a lot of crazy things—at least they looked pretty crazy to the others .
First, Ye Xiao gathered many people together, including Li Wuliang, Xue Danru, Jun Yinglian, Xuan Bing, Wenren Chuchu, Han Bingxue, the Moon Queen, Yue Shuang, Yue Han, Ning Biluo, Zhao Pingtian, and Liu Changjun .
He had thought about calling for Lei Dadi and the other two great elders, but the three old men had gone away . It seemed they didn't want to be a part of it .
"We are in a pretty bad situation . I believe you all can see it . The Honor Demon must be quite confident, or he wouldn't tell me to go for the final battle like that . He has given up millions of his people before, which proves his confidence at some point . Anyway, he is powerful enough to do that .
"He actually gave up such a lot of good people . I guess you all understand what it means .
"If we want to win this war, if we want to survive this war, we have to improve ourselves! We have to be much stronger!
"We won't even draw the Honor Demon's attention if we are just this good!
"Look, you guys are the only people among all who are most possible to reach the Golden Core Phase . Only people in the Golden Core Phase can threat the Honor Demon . We together, guys, we are the key to win this battle . The hope is on you guys . Only when we are all in the Golden Core Phase can we have the power to fight the Honor Demon in the battle .
"Here… These are some dan beads in supreme level which help to improve cultivators in cultivation . One dan bead means a hundred years cultivation… Each of you take ten dan beads… As long as your body can handle it, the efficacy will not be decreased .
"There are dan beads that heal people's soul and provide soul energy, also at the supreme level . It will help you with cultivation .
"There are…
"And these are…
"And remember this, I have countless dan beads that I showed you just now . No matter how many you need, just come to me and ask for some . The only thing I want in return is at least five of you breaking through to reach the Golden Core Phase!
"At least five of you should make it!
"That is the only way to bring us some chance to win the war .
"Otherwise, I would say we don't need to fight the pointless battle, and we should give up . "
When Ye Xiao was speaking, his face looked solemn and sullen .
The Moon Queen thought for a while and said, "Lord Xiao Monarch, when the Honor Demon showed up, you are the only one who spoke with him . I guess you didn't just have some chitchat . People like us should sense a lot of things from that conversation…"
The Moon Queen didn't speak out every word in her mind . She stopped to stare at Ye Xiao with her bright eyes . She believed Ye Xiao understood her .
Ye Xiao nodded and said, "That is true . I did sense a lot of things . "
The Moon Queen asked, "Such as?"
"Such as… I felt the restraint . I am not sure of it, though . " Ye Xiao slowly said, "There is one more that I sensed… It was the fear that rose up slowly from deep in my bones… My vibe, my soul, my mind, my energy… I am totally oppressed by him… Hmmm . Those were true feelings…"
The Moon Queen's face turned colorless immediately .
In fact, the Moon Queen was not alone . The others all looked pale all of a sudden .
These people were all experts in cultivation, which meant they clearly knew that the feeling of Ye Xiao only indicated the fact that he was not able to defeat the Honor Demon . Ye Xiao was totally not a match to the enemy, or he wouldn't have such an oppressed feeling .
Ye Xiao was the most powerful person among them all, and he was a lot more powerful than the others . If Ye Xiao wasn't a match to the Honor Demon, there was nothing the others could do to help .
They all knew that in a fight of some really powerful cultivators who were in such high levels, the advantage of numbers did not help at all .
"Lord Xiao Monarch, you have already reached the Golden Core Phase, and you even improved quite a lot at that level . " The Moon Queen was clearly worried and anxious . She said, "Even you, powerful like this, are not a match to the Honor Demon… Really? Is the Honor Demon really this horrible?"
"In fact, the Honor Demon may be even more powerful than what I said . For now, he is the truly most powerful man in the world . He is invincible . "
Ye Xiao said in a deep voice, "If not, why would he make all those unbelievable decisions? How could he just let us kill all those people of his?
"He gave up those people, not only because he needs more demonic souls to feed his altars, but also because he has absolute confidence that he could control the battle by himself . He doesn't worry at all . He believes nothing could go wrong . For us, what we need to do is to come up with something, a plan, to prove him wrong! We have to break the absolute because that is the only way to earn a chance to win the war!"
"If the Honor Demon is truly that powerful, we won't be able to defeat him . Even if we can reach the Golden Core Phase, we can't win . " The Moon Queen sighed and said, "Besides, it is not easy to get to the Golden Core Phase . What can we do if we are all at the Golden Core Phase?"
"Moon Queen, you do have a good point, but this is the situation we are in . If we fight him now, with our current power, we won't survive . There is no way we can win . However, if we have a few Golden Dan Phase cultivators, there may be a small chance we can win . " Ye Xiao took a breath and said, "Now I am at the Golden Core Phase . Bing'er is at the Golden Core Phase too . Also Li Wuliang, Han Bingxue, they are at the Golden Core Phase as well . However, Han Bingxue hasn't been stable at the phase yet . He still needs more improvement .
"Jun Yinglian is also at the Golden Core Phase . Yue Shuang and Yue Han are both at the Golden Core Phase . "
Ye Xiao looked around and then stopped at Wenren Chuchu, then he blandly said, "Lady Wenren Chuchu from the Misty Cloud Palace is reaching the Golden Core Phase too .
"About twenty of you are going to reach the Golden Core Phase!"
Ye Xiao calmly said, "As an individual, the Honor Demon is invincible indeed . However, his people are definitely weaker than us . "
