Chapter 458 The Final Battle of the Demon Palace
The human saints who were about to go up and deal with the remains of the Bull Demon King were all stunned by what they saw.
Lin Fei had gone to great lengths to kill the Barbarian Bull Demon Saint on the spot, so naturally he wouldn't allow the human saints to seal the Barbarian Bull Demon Saint's remains. Even the corpse would be of great use to Lin Fei.
After absorbing the power of the Savage Bull Demon Saint using the Asura Path's primordial spirit domain ability, Lin Fei felt his strength had been further enhanced. He wasn't even too far from reaching the Celestial Realm.
At that moment, a flash of light appeared before the eyes of the human saints, and the Sage of War, who held the military formation diagram, appeared in the same spot.
Upon seeing the Sage of War appear, the human sages hurriedly asked, "How did it go? Has the Black Dragon Demon Sage been dealt with?"
The Sage of War nodded, then shook his head: "That Black Dragon Demon Saint has a solid body, impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire. Although we cannot kill it, we can temporarily trap it in this military formation diagram, so we don't have to worry about it coming out to cause trouble again."
The Black Dragon Demon Saint's true form possessed a genuine ancient dragon bloodline. Its body was covered in hard scales, impervious even to peerless divine weapons. The Sage of War couldn't completely obliterate the Black Dragon Demon Saint like Lin Fei had done with the Savage Bull Demon Saint.
Fortunately, although the Black Dragon Demon Saint was powerful in his physical form, he was trapped in the military formation diagram by the War Saint and could not escape for the time being, which also reduced the demon race's powerful combat force.
Not long after the Sage of War appeared, the Sage of Confucianism also slowly appeared before everyone. In his hand, the Sage of Confucianism held a huge long arm, which was the arm of the Mountain-Moving Demon Sage from before.
The gazes of all the sages couldn't help but turn towards the Confucian sage.
The Confucian sage casually tossed the Mountain-Moving Demon Saint's arm to the ground, sighed, and said, "That ape was quite bold. Seeing that it couldn't defeat me, it actually cut off its own arm, allowing it to escape. Although I severely injured it, I ultimately failed to completely capture it."
The Confucian Sage's abilities can be said to be among the most powerful of the many sages of the human race. Even he couldn't stop the Mountain-Moving Demon Sage. These ten sages of the demon race are definitely not just empty names.
The Confucian Sage, the Military Sage, and Lin Fei simultaneously attacked three Great Sage-level beings from the demon race. Of the three, Lin Fei was the least favored, and even the other sages worried that he wouldn't be a match for the demon race's Great Sages.
Although the Confucian Sage has severely injured his opponent, the Mountain-Moving Demon Saint has decisively severed his arm to escape. Meanwhile, the Military Sage has temporarily trapped the Black Dragon Demon Saint within the military formation, preventing him from taking any real harm.
Conversely, Lin Fei, who was initially the least favored, achieved remarkable results, killing the Savage Bull Demon Saint on the spot and becoming the only one among the three to defeat his opponent. This surprised everyone.
Upon hearing the news that Lin Fei had killed the Savage Bull Demon Saint on the spot, both the Sage of War and the Sage of Confucianism were greatly surprised.
"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!" The Sage of War couldn't help but exclaim repeatedly, "I never imagined that you, young brother, could kill the Demon Saint of the Savage Bull on the spot. You make us all ashamed."
The Confucian sage laughed and said, "Good! The Bull Demon Saint is dead, the Black Dragon Demon Saint is temporarily unable to escape, and the Mountain Moving Demon Saint has been severely injured by me and is not a threat at all. In this way, our human race's chances of victory have increased considerably!"
Just as the Confucian sage said, the Bull Demon Saint was killed, the Black Dragon Demon Saint was trapped, and the Mountain-Moving Demon Saint had also been severely injured by the Confucian sage. It's likely that any human sage could easily defeat it. Of the ten great demon saints, three powerful warriors have now been lost in an instant.
The current situation is extremely favorable for humanity. Smiles appeared on the faces of all the saints.
Yuan Tiangang, the chief strategist of the human race, said, "Now that the demon race has suffered heavy losses, let's strike while the iron is hot, storm the demon palace, and wipe out the demon race in one fell swoop!"
Although these three battles against the Great Sages of the Demon Race did not result in the immediate annihilation of all three, victories were still achieved. The fact that the human race remained undefeated in all three battles was a significant boost to morale.
Seizing the opportunity and riding this momentum, the saints marched in a mighty force towards the Demon Palace, determined to wipe out the demon race in one fell swoop.
……
Inside the Demon Palace, the remaining Great Saints of the Demon Clan all looked extremely grim.
They never expected that in three battles, the demon race wouldn't win a single one. This was a huge blow to the morale of the entire demon race.
They had thought these humans were nothing special, but they hadn't expected their strength to be so formidable. Of the three demon race Great Saints they sent out, one was seriously injured and escaped, one was trapped and unable to break free, and one was even killed on the spot.
Since the end of ancient times, the demon race has ruled the land of China, regarding all other living beings as mere pigs and dogs. They have never taken the mere human race seriously. This current situation is a significant blow to the demon race, which has always held itself in high esteem.
Outside the Demon Palace, a beam of red light shot in; it was the Mountain-Moving Demon Saint who had narrowly escaped death from the Confucian Sage.
This Mountain-Moving Demon Saint is quite capable. The Confucian Sage is even more powerful than the Military Sage, and can almost be said to be the strongest among the human race's saints. It is already considered lucky that this Mountain-Moving Demon Saint was able to escape from the Confucian Sage's clutches.
Even though it had narrowly escaped death, the Mountain-Moving Demon Saint was still severely injured. Of its two long arms, only one remained, and blood flowed from the severed arm, with a powerful aura clinging to it, preventing the wound from healing.
It should be understood that even human cultivators who reach this level can instantly recover from severed limbs, let alone the powerful demon saints.
For a great demon saint, a severed arm is nothing serious and can be healed in the blink of an eye. But now, the Mountain-Moving Demon Saint's injury has not only failed to heal, but the bleeding cannot be stopped either—although it was lucky to escape from the Confucian Sage's clutches, the Confucian Sage's abilities are extraordinary, and its severed arm injury simply cannot be healed.
When the other demon saints saw the Mountain Moving Demon Saint return, they went to greet him. Seeing his serious injuries, they couldn't help but ask with concern, "Brother Mountain Moving, are you alright?"
The Mountain-Moving Demon Saint, his face pale, shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "I underestimated that old human. That old man's methods are indeed extraordinary, far surpassing those of ordinary Earth Immortals. He has probably already reached the point of merging his body with his own, and is about to achieve the eternal realm of immortality! Among us, I doubt any of us could be his match in a one-on-one fight. If I hadn't seen the situation was dire and cut off my own arm, I probably wouldn't be back today!"
The expressions of the demon saints grew increasingly grim after hearing the words of the Mountain-Moving Demon Saint.
