Chapter 462 Desperate Situation
Unlike the human saints who turned pale, the four demon saints, who were already covered in wounds, showed expressions of great joy upon sensing the terrifying pressure emanating from the black light.
The four of them were already covered in wounds, and if the Demon-Summoning Banner hadn't successfully summoned the ancient demon saint, they would have likely perished here. The ancient demon saint summoned by the banner at this moment undoubtedly saved their lives.
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the black light, the four were extremely excited—that terrifying aura was something only an ancient demon saint at the Celestial Immortal level could possess.
It's important to understand that even among the ancient demon saints, there were varying degrees of strength. The weaker ancient demon saints were only close to the level of celestial immortals. The powerful ancient demon saints, however, were absolutely among the top-tier beings even within the celestial immortal realm.
It seems the demon race's all-out effort this time, even sacrificing the lives of three demon saints, has paid off. They've summoned an ancient demon saint at the Celestial Immortal level. With an ancient demon saint at the Celestial Immortal level, won't all these humans be doomed here?
The four demon sages were overjoyed, but at the same time, a deep voice came from within the black light: "I am the ancient demon sage, Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon, summoned by the Demon Summoning Banner to annihilate the humans here. You humans have no reason to blame me!"
Hearing the voice coming from the black light, the human saints were filled with even greater despair.
"It's...it's actually the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon?"
"The Demon-Summoning Banner! I thought this treasure of the demon race had disappeared after ancient times, but I never expected it to still be in the hands of the demon race!"
"Nine, Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon, it's all over now, our entire human race is doomed!"
……
No wonder the human saints are so desperate. The Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon was a renowned great saint of the demon race in ancient times. Now, these so-called ten demon saints are not even qualified to carry the shoes of such a great figure as the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon.
It should be noted that in ancient times, the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon was even more powerful than a regional emperor, second only to top-tier beings such as the Heavenly Emperor of the Ancient Heavenly Court, the Buddha of Buddhism, and the Three Saints of Kunlun.
It was thought that the Demon-Summoning Banner, a supreme treasure of the demon race, had been lost for many years, but unexpectedly, it is still in the hands of the demon race. Moreover, the demon race even used this treasure to summon the legendary Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon!
……
Unlike the reactions of the human saints, Lin Fei's expression was quite strange when he heard the name of the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon.
Lin Fei had also seen the name of the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon in ancient records. The Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon was a hegemon in ancient times, who was later subdued by the ancient Heavenly Emperor and entered the ancient Heavenly Court, becoming the mount of the Nine Heavens Emperor.
In terms of status, the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon is second only to the Nine Heavens Great Emperor among the ancient Heavenly Emperors, and is even slightly higher than the True Martial Great Emperor and other regional emperors.
Lin Fei, on the other hand, has now inherited the divine position of the Nine Heavens Emperor. Although he has not yet fully gained the recognition of this divine position, and the Thirty-Three Heavens Palace has not opened to Lin Fei, in a sense, Lin Fei, who has inherited the divine position of the Nine Heavens Emperor, can be considered half a master of the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon.
I just don't know if the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon in front of me will acknowledge my half-baked identity as the Nine Heavens Emperor.
……
As the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon revealed its identity within the black light, the morale of the human saints present was greatly damaged, and they even began to panic.
Faced with the ancient and renowned Great Sage of the Demon Race, a being of the Celestial Immortal level, no one could remain calm. For the human saints present, and even for the entire human race, the appearance of the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon was undoubtedly a catastrophe.
Seeing that everyone was starting to panic, the strongest among the sages, the Confucian Sage and the Military Sage, exchanged glances, their eyes filled with worry.
"Don't panic, everyone. The ancient demon saint summoned by this demon banner is not its true form. If we work together, we may still have a chance to win!" The Sage of War spoke first, calming everyone down: "If we all unite as one, we may not be no match for this Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon!"
“Indeed!” the Confucian sage also spoke up, “Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to fight to the death. Do you all want humanity to suffer in darkness for another few hundred years?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Sage of War raised his hand, revealing the military formation diagram he had used to trap the Black Dragon Demon Saint. He then chanted, "Military tactics are like water, which has no constant shape. All things in heaven and earth are governed by the way of war. Military formation diagram, withdraw!"
After saying that, the military strategist threw the battle formation diagram in his hand directly towards the black light.
The military formation diagram swelled in the wind, instantly becoming the size of a house—it seemed that the Military Saint intended to use the military formation diagram to capture the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon as well.
A disdainful sneer came from within the black light: "A mere trick. Even the Mountain and River Map can't do anything to me, so what is your half-baked skill?"
The ball of black light suddenly exploded, like countless black flames, instantly burning the military formation diagram that the military strategist relied on for his fame to ashes.
At the same time, the military strategist suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered back several steps, clutched his chest, and looked as if he was about to collapse.
The Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon finally revealed its true form before everyone.
The Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon, enormous in size and resembling a legendary divine dragon, looked down upon the human saints with a cold expression. It seemed that in its eyes, these once-renowned human saints of the Middle Ages were nothing more than ants.
"As expected of the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon, the ancient demon saint, let this old man learn from your skills!" Seeing that the Sage of War was defeated in one move, the Sage of Confucianism knew that if this continued, the saints of the human race would probably completely lose the courage to fight, so he immediately took action to try to reverse the decline.
The Confucian sage pointed his finger at the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon in mid-air and said, "The sages lead the way, the Heavenly Way is vast and boundless!"
A magnificent white light burst forth from the Confucian sage's fingertips, like a galaxy, rushing towards the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon.
"This is quite interesting!" A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon, clearly not expecting that there was such a powerful figure as the Confucian Sage here.
Although the Confucian Sage had not yet reached the realm of Celestial Immortals, he was not far off, and was the strongest among the saints of the human race. His mere appearance caused even the renowned Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon to show a hint of surprise.
Despite his surprise, the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon remained confident. While the Confucian Sage was powerful, the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon itself was a true Celestial Immortal-level Demon Saint. Even if what was summoned by the Demon-Summoning Banner was not the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon's true form, it was more than enough to deal with a Confucian Sage who had not yet reached the Celestial Immortal level.
