Chapter 725: Beneath the avalanche, we charge forth to the world's ends; the gnashing teeth are shattered, the sealed swine perish

Feng Bo shook his head, sighing without end.

After switching sides and learning more, Fei Lian felt his mindset gradually changing.

If it were before, facing the present Fire Masters and Yandi, he would have some wariness, but this wariness was mostly because such people are "ruthless and merciless," discarding principles at will, skilled at breaking limits, so he didn't want to provoke them.

This was not lasting.

Shameless!

Who wouldn't?

As long as everyone is brave to practice, dares to imitate breaking their own limits, and bravely creates new lows, they certainly have the strength to fight.

But now, Feng Bo has gained insight, feeling he has comprehended Yandi's limit, which is truly outstanding, surpassing ordinary divinity.

That is also a truly dangerous trait!

Placing oneself in the most dangerous position, persisting throughout, merely for an ideal belief…… being harsh to others, harsh to oneself, and yet not seeking anything for oneself……

Feng Bo felt his teeth a bit sore, and inexplicably somewhat relaxed.

——All good.

——We are all on the same side, teammates.

It is known that Yandi is a great loyal minister of Nüwa, with such strong ability and such firm resolve……

Steady! Steady! This round is steady!

A good teammate is reliable.

Feng Bo came to a conclusion in his heart.

After all, according to his years of investigation, Yandi…… is quite reliable, with no trace of feigned loyalty, a true devotee of Nüwa.

Such a capable good teammate makes Feng Bo feel…… this must be his luck turning!

'"Since I returned from the corpse, my luck seems indeed not bad……"'

Feng Bo pondered in his heart, '"However, Yandi also needs to survive this trial first."'

Thinking this, Fei Lian spoke again, "No matter how you say it, the strength comparison is also quite obvious…… the deficient Fire Masters are inherently no match for the Heavenly Court's main force, let alone when the East Emperor still employs underhanded tactics."

'"Now, the Heavenly Court holds absolute initiative, even threatening the core of the Fire Masters!"'

'"As long as Taiyi doesn't make a mistake, continuing this bloodletting, the high-ranking commanders of the human race will keep being worn down, dying here…… even if it shields your Jiuli's independent growth, the actual loss is too great."'

'"For the human race's overall situation…… it's not right."'

Feng Bo sighed.

'"Unless there are reinforcements that can break the situation from outside…… but that's not realistic."'

'"The Dragon Masters are leaderless, not as strong as before."'

'"The Bird Masters…… according to Nüwa Majesty's words, they are highly suspicious; even if they want to come, we dare not let them in easily."'

'"After all, who knows whether they are coming to help or to stab?"'

'"The human race's two former pillars have both run into trouble…… now we are nearly in a desperate situation!"'

Feng Bo furrowed his brows tightly.

'"With external aid cut off, and not letting your Jiuli lineage join the fight, are we supposed to wait for Taiyi himself to commit a major command error? That's also unrealistic!"'

'"Who would pin all their hopes on the enemy making a mistake?"'

Fei Lian doubted, '"Is there really no reliable backup?"'

'"You never asked?"'

'"I have asked." Unexpectedly, Chiyou said this, "When I initially decided to divide the troops, splitting off my Jiuli lineage, I had worried about the Fire Masters' weakness and thus inquired of Yandi Majesty."'

'"I said, I feared the Heavenly Court's full-scale conquest would destroy the Fire Masters and ruin this pure land of the human race."'

'"Yandi also replied to me…… but his reply was somewhat vague."'

'"He told me, not to worry about this……" Chiyou paused, "He said, the human race has come this far, is by no means weak; what should be feared is the enemy."'

'"The protagonist of the previous era was the Demon Race; the protagonist of this era is undoubtedly the human race."'

'"They are Nüwa Majesty's painstaking creations, their minds exhausted to be arranged with the express delivery of Pangu's essence blood, Xihuang Majesty's spirit transmission, Eastern Splendor Emperor's wisdom crystals, and one wise ruler after another……"'

'"From top to bottom, the light of human hope flows, representing the dawn of humanity, and they should bear the banner of the age."'

'"The human race has never been weaker than any ethnic group."'

'"Before, there was still one last obstacle, which the Heavenly Court could boast as capital…… that thing is called foundation, called accumulation."'

'"The human race has endured ten thousand years of hard study; indeed, it is hard to ignore the efforts of hundreds or thousands of generations of the Demon Race."'

'"The demon god groups that have gained more discourse power have, to some extent, skewed the rules of fair human judgment, solidifying the hierarchical barriers of breaking and surpassing limits, as if a heavenly chasm, hard to cross."'

'"These obstacles, these heavenly chasms, after long-term propaganda, seem to make the human race always appear a head short, unable to match the opposition, and even after relentless pursuit, still appear weak."'

'"But now……"'

'"The era has changed!"'

'"The sacred snow mountain…… has collapsed!"'

'"Under the avalanche, everyone is forging ahead to the ends of the earth…… the once‑insurmountable mountain formed by the accumulation of foundation, now gone; whatever ages, all like fleeting clouds, have been brought to the same starting line!"'

Chiyou calmly relayed the words of a former Human Emperor, '"The age of ice and snow has passed; the era of fire has quietly arrived."'

'"The Fire Masters, in the wilderness of the age, have long sown the sparks of stars, only awaiting the day when they see the prairie ablaze."'

'"The human race is inherently not weaker than the Demon Race…… especially after enduring the ravages of dinosaurs and the rampage of demonic paths, these two calamities have knocked out the Heavenly Court's two strongest cards."'

'"Even if only the Fire Masters alone, what fear is there of the Heavenly Court's main force? The Fire Masters have the entirety of the human race standing behind them!"'

'"Even if the Dragon Masters are leaderless, the Bird Masters scheming, the Jiuli lying dormant…… but as long as the sparks ignite a prairie fire, the ancient fire seeds sprout and flourish, taking effect, the countless scattered sands gathering, no matter how mighty the Heavenly Court, it cannot exterminate the Fire Masters!"'

'"No need for any so‑called main force, no need for Bird Masters' armies or Dragon Masters' battle formations……"'

'"Only…… countless people of the human race, able to clearly recognize this principle, to cross the mental shadows accumulated in the past!"'

Chiyou spoke calmly.

Feng Bo's expression was strange—he opened his mouth, then closed it, opening and closing repeatedly, as if performing a silent mime.

"Just that?" After a long while, Fei Lian asked hoarsely.

"Yes… that's what he said." Chiyou nodded.

"This is really too… too… whatever…" Feng Bo couldn't bring himself to say it, after all criticizing a top‑tier Taiyi expert—who knows if they have some sensing ability—he feared settling accounts later.

"Actually, I also think it's a bit of a joke…" Chiyou murmured, "but look at all the miracles Yandi has performed along the way."

"His cultivation is legendary, his conduct is the stuff of legend—even the rumors and hearsay… are filled with hues unlike ours."

"No matter how unorthodox he may be, who can deny his success, right?"

"So we'll just watch…" "Hopefully this time he can continue the legend…"

Chiyou stroked the battle knife at his side, gradually closing his eyes.

However, though his eyes were closed, his fighting spirit and murderous aura surged without limit, resonating with this turbulent age—seeming to merge with it, yet also using it as a whetstone.

Settling the spirit, honing the will, pressing forward resolutely, an inexplicable Dao rhythm evolved—one that goes against the tide, a life‑or‑death struggle to break the impasse.

What is the situation of this era? Along the way, Chiyou saw the Demon Race's hegemony and the Devils' rampancy; he seemed, in every shift of the rules, to be on the weaker side, forced to respond passively, playing chess within others' rules.

He no longer wanted to be like that.

One day he will brandish his knife and carve out a bright expanse of heaven and earth! Feng Bo sensed this Dao rhythm's aura, gradually feeling moved, and glanced at him sideways.

"How fast he's growing…"

"With such cultivation achievements, if he had entered the Heavenly Court's competition for a Yao Marshal seat back then, he could probably match the weakest Yao Marshal, right?"

"And he's still advancing at high speed… It's hard to imagine whether, when he reaches the peak, there will be a place for him among the top echelons."

Feng Bo let his thoughts run wild.

Until a sudden change in the distance startled his thoughts, making him abruptly turn his head, his eyes widening and pupils contracting.

……

The Fire Army's defensive line kept shrinking.

The center was ambushed, the outskirts outnumbered by the Heavenly Court… Donghuang had a few tricks up his sleeve, always keeping the initiative, never making major command blunders, never underestimating the enemy, never acting rashly.

Unable to swallow it whole, he resorted to nibbling away, commanding vast forces, manipulating the boundless Heavenly River, for a time seizing all the advantages of heaven, earth, and humanity, firmly suppressing the Fire Army, making this human race's central headquarters seem like a small boat tossed in a storm, as if it could capsize at any moment.

Yandi did his utmost… No one can deny that, facing such natural and man‑made calamities, he persisted without falling—how incredible, how shocking.

But against the Demon Race's overwhelming pressure, only the Fire Army—and it simply could not turn the tide.

Taiyi steadily controlled the situation, gradually squeezing the Fire Army's living space… Perhaps, when the Fire Army could shrink no further, it would be a total Heaven‑toppling strike, sparing no cost, burying the Fire Army here!

Barriers blocking every possible breakout route for the Fire Army were set up one after another; Donghuang advanced steadily, leaving not a sliver of life.

Such killing intent blazed fiercely, undisguised, bringing immense pressure upon the Fire Army's main forces locked in battle.

Yet despite this, countless soldiers showed little panic, never fled, never surrendered, each fighting to the last moment, shedding every last drop of blood.

Because their emperor has not yet fallen!

Yandi remained just as calm and composed, even though his headquarters had been ambushed by the Demon Race's elite troops!

Even at the most perilous moment, a demon god had already thrust his weapon to his face, as if trying to pierce the emperor's frail body.

But Yandi… he never let his own formation fall into disorder; he didn't even spare a glance at that demon god, his attention fixed solely on the battle ahead.

Officers and soldiers entrusted their lives to him, placing infinite trust in his hands.

As the human emperor, he must surely live up to that trust.

Likewise.

Yandi placed his trust in the divine generals guarding the central command, also believing that, even in this situation, they could still fulfill their duty and protect him.

"Zao Chi!"

Covered in blood, Da Yi came charging—even though Donghuang had dealt him a near‑fatal blow, after a brief treatment he gritted his teeth through his wounds and guarded the emperor.

His heroic aura remained undiminished, his combat power turned feral; he roared, charging to the demon god before the emperor, his Dao voice shattering the ten directions, freezing a slice of spacetime, pinning the Zao Chi demon god for an instant! Even though this was a top‑tier demon god, his moment of glory could rival a great adept—but now Da Yi, with no woman in his heart, naturally transcended to godhood.

His form was like light, like electricity—as if heaven and earth were a bow, he became the arrow; after the utmost release, it was the most decisive strike!

"Clang!"

One sword drawn, the world turns cold!

The most dazzling light burst forth, shattering the emergency barrier shield the Zao Chi demon god had raised after the freeze; its force did not wane, even cleaving the demon god in two!

It can be called an instant kill!

"Ah!"

The Zao Chi demon god shouted in terror, his heart overcome with great dread, unwilling to face such a Da Yi head‑on.

He barely gathered his remnant form, turned to flee, seeking refuge in the Heavenly River's momentum to shield himself.

But this move… was useless! "Die!"

Da Yi's eye sockets burst, blood in his hand, yet he firmly drew a divine bow; a ray of light burst forth, slicing across the countless blood‑rain‑streaked battlefield, becoming the most brilliant meteor in heaven and earth.

And in that light, the life of a top‑tier demon god came to an end!

"Whoosh!"

Crimson blood rain poured down, far surpassing elsewhere.

Zao Chi was slain! This caused many of the Demon Race's elite who had ambushed the Fire Army's headquarters to feel a deep chill rise in their hearts—some could hardly believe it, others, after confirming the reality, were shaken with terror.

"Zao Chi!"

The Great Saint Feng Tun exclaimed.

"Huh?" Da Yi swayed his body—instantly killing a demon god, which is hardly simple; naturally it consumed a vast amount of essence‑energy‑spirit.

But since he chose to do so, he surely had his own reason… He was establishing prestige! Seeing the Fire Army's plight, he had considered ways to break the deadlock.

In terms of command, he is far inferior to Yandi; going up would only hinder.

But in single combat… as long as the demon emperor does not appear, he fears nothing!

Even with a half-crippled body, it can still shock the world!

"As long as you kill until the enemy trembles, the dangerous situation here will resolve itself!"

Da Yi's body was wounded and weak, his face pallid and bloodless, yet he stared straight at Feng Tun Dasheng, each word pausing, shaking heaven and earth and time, making everyone's heart skip a beat, "You're making noise!"

"Die!"

Simple and blunt words, like the supreme judgment.

When Feng Tun Dasheng felt the boundless killing intent, it was also the moment Da Yi's second arrow was shot! "Ah!"

The death cry of the demon god echoed throughout the surrounding universe, shocking the world.

Double kill!

Da Yi's blood seemed to have drained completely, forging the brilliance of this arrow, yet there is still no solution.

Burning life, burning qi and blood, staking everything, he opened the path to godhood in this desperate situation! In the difficulties of era and family, this divine general was driven to the extreme.

But this... is not a good thing.

——For the Demon Race!
