Chapter 837: Better to Die Than Lose
Jiang Qiuyue could not remind Jiang Xuming in the Tiantian Tiantian Mo Zu's Dao Field and could only watch helplessly as he took that step.
This child she loved the most took the first step and started the first battle at a time when the demons were pressing on the border and provoking them. Now, he had to risk his future to fight this battle!
Boom!
In the Dao Field, the Tai Xu God Dharma Form merged. Jiang Xuming roared to the sky, his eyes turned into a void color, and his whole body exuded an extraordinary and special aura.
As a top prodigy, not only did Chixu have means like the Spirit Blood Ghost Body, but the Jiang Clan also had them, and Jiang Xuming also had them!
In the entire Tiantian Tiantian Mo Zu's Dao Field, immortal power suddenly pushed out at a faster speed.
A void power gradually eroded and shrouded the entire Dao Field. Immortal power was excluded. Besides immortal power, there were other powers between heaven and earth. When chaos had not yet cracked and immortal power had not yet been born, there was void power!
And the Tai Xu God was the one who mastered that kind of void power, used it to create the Great Dao, and achieved his own Emperor path!
Every Great Emperor opened up a supreme Great Dao for this heaven and earth, had his own Emperor path, and was also a unique existence!
Therefore, the Great Emperor realm could not be inherited or taught; one could only give one's disciples opportunities and foundation, assist them to the peak of the Immortal King Realm, and then it depended on the disciple's own fortune.
"What?"
Chixu felt the changes around him and was slightly startled. His Myriad Heavens Star Veins were affected at this moment and could not absorb power from the starlight.
While he was stunned, Jiang Xuming had already urged ten thousand laws, driven by void power, arrived in an instant, and the divine spear pierced toward him!
"Tai Xu Dao, Absolute Nothingness!!"
Jiang Xuming roared, his eyes filled with killing intent.
The vast spear intent was better than before. That was not immortal power, but another kind of void power that could swallow everything.
Immortal arts would instantly annihilate when touching this spear intent. Chixu's power seemed to be deprived. He watched as this spear pierced down, and then, his expression finally changed at this moment, from surprise to shock and anger, followed by intense killing intent in his eyes!
Bang!
A violent vibration came from the Dao Field. The collision of immortal power and void power was like two stars colliding, and time and space were slightly distorted.
But the scene people imagined of Chixu's body shattering again did not appear. A mountain of blood-red meat appeared, sucking the divine spear into it.
"To be able to force me to this point, you deserve to die!"
Chixu's voice was low, like bones being ground, making people have a feeling of hair standing on end.
His flesh and blood suddenly vibrated. In the Tiantian Tiantian Mo Zu's Dao Field, the sky suddenly dyed blood-red.
His true power was not immortal power, but his own blood power!
He cultivated by devouring all living things. As long as he kept devouring, he could continuously increase his strength. The more powerful life and bloodlines he devoured, the faster his cultivation speed, which was an extremely top bloodline among demons.
Bang!
Accompanied by his words, that thick blood power like an abyss sea suddenly surged back. Just one vibration, and the void seemed to crack. Jiang Xuming's body flew backward violently, and the Emperor intent on his body seemed to fade away.
"How is this possible?!"
The Jiang Clan members were all horrified, unable to believe it.
Merging with the Tai Xu God Dharma Form and mastering Tai Xu power, he was defeated in the blink of an eye?!
The power Jiang Xuming displayed at this time was already extremely terrifying. Ordinary Immortal Monarch Realm perfected cultivators were not his match in one move, but the peak strike failed to kill this Chixu!
"Hmph, Chixu is a monster rare to see in ten thousand years of the Spirit Blood Clan, naturally possessing the 'Devour' ability, capable of devouring all living things. If he hadn't tried to impact the ultimate realm and ultimate realm of various realms, with a nine-hundred-year soul-lifespan, he would have reached the peak of the Immortal King Realm long ago!"
The purple-robed middle-aged man saw this scene and couldn't help but curl his mouth into a cold smile. If they hadn't been fully prepared, would they have come to the human territory to spar?
Jiang Qiuyue's expression became ugly. She knew that Jiang Xuming had exhausted all his means.
Lose? If it was just losing, ceding an immortal city, she would admit it. But Jiang Xuming was very likely to fall. Such a prodigy would definitely reach the peak of the Immortal King Realm in the future. Falling here was too uneconomical!
You have to know, on the border battlefield, how many demons could an Immortal King peak powerhouse kill? That was far more than an immortal city could compare to!
Although human life could not be judged by this, reality was just like this, bloody, and there would always be sacrifices and trade-offs!
"If it doesn't work, let Jiang Xuming admit defeat. The things we left there should be able to pass the message to him."
Su Zhenyuan saw Jiang Qiuyue's expression and couldn't help but have his eyes change slightly. The opponent was the person who knew Jiang Xuming best. At this time, the opponent's expression was wrong, indicating that the chance of winning was no longer high!
Hearing Su Zhenyuan's voice transmission, Jiang Qiuyue's eyes struggled for a moment. Seeing the great battle that had started again in the field, Jiang Xuming was trapped in the monstrous blood glow, and even urging Tai Xu power was difficult to break through. She gritted her teeth and agreed with Su Zhenyuan's words.
Previously, to prevent accidents, they had laid down dark hands inside in advance, which the demons could not detect.
Those dark hands could allow them to transmit sound into the field, which could be used to command at critical moments. But if there was too big a gap in strength, commanding the battle was useless. But besides commanding, they could also persuade him to surrender.
The sealing barrier isolated everything, and both sides were watching, so they couldn't play tricks. Since that was the case, they could only let Jiang Xuming admit defeat. As long as he admitted defeat, they would immediately take action to protect him, so that wouldn't be breaking the rules.
"Xuming, if it doesn't work, admit defeat. We lost this battle, as long as you are fine!"
Jiang Qiuyue quickly transmitted sound.
Jiang Xuming, who was constantly fighting, heard his mother's voice and couldn't help but be stunned. Before he could think, Chixu's attack in front suddenly became intense, and with a bang, he was knocked flying and shaken against the sealing barrier.
Jiang Xuming felt that his Tai Xu body immortal body was about to shatter. He gritted his teeth and propped himself up, sweeping toward outside the barrier, and saw the nervous and worried faces of the Jiang Clan members, and his mother's pair of anxious eyes.
He only felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to be hollowed out, and he had an unspeakable feeling.
The sky was gray, as if the end was coming.
Between this heaven and earth, the cold wind was like a knife, scraping bones and hitting his face.
He stood in front of billions of people, his body broken, and even could be called embarrassed.
Admit defeat?
Jiang Xuming clenched his fists. He knew that the demons were aiming to slaughter human prodigies in this battle and would never show mercy. Once they caught a chance, they would kill him.
But, wasn't he the same?
Admit defeat... Jiang Xuming's clenched fists loosened, and then he cast a relieved smile toward his mother's side.
The moment she saw that smile, Jiang Qiuyue was slightly stunned.
Then, she saw Jiang Xuming raise his hand, cut open a crack, and take out a bottle of pills from inside.
Jiang Qiuyue was stunned, the blood in her whole body seemed to freeze. She hurriedly wanted to call out, but Jiang Xuming had already swallowed the pills inside without hesitation.
Bang bang sounds rang out, as if some kind of chain was breaking free. Jiang Xuming's whole body burned with a fierce golden divine light. Immediately after, this divine light turned into chaotic void, his hair flew backward, his aura soared, climbing to a level far exceeding before, and his cultivation realm rose from the eighth level of the Immortal Monarch Realm to the ninth level!
Bang!
Monstrous blood energy rolled over and was stirred to pieces by a spear.
Jiang Xuming raised his head, cracks appearing on his face, his Tai Xu immortal body on the verge of shattering.
That violent power made him feel an unprecedented terrifying power.
Kill!
He didn't hesitate, roaring and killing toward Chixu.
Chixu's pupils shrank, surprise appearing in his eyes, but immediately after, he let out an angry and ferocious roar, his whole body's blood energy surged, and black Dao patterns suddenly emerged from inside, spreading all over his body!
"Devouring Dao Eight Desolations!"
Seeing this scene, among the demonic prodigies, two people had surprise in their eyes, their expressions extremely solemn.
They knew that Chixu had brought out his strongest means, his bottom-of-the-box power.
Boom!
The Dao Field vibrated, and Jiang Xuming, whose aura had soared, merged with his own Dharma Form, the giant spear swept across the sky, and killed into the sea of blood.
The eight pitch-black chains in the sea of blood broke one by one, and immediately after, a terrifying aura was released.
Su Zhenyuan, Jiang Qiuyue, and the others couldn't help but change color.
"Xuming!"
Jiang Qiuyue's eyes were like weeping blood, her aura surging, flickering, and various visions appeared around her body, turning into a terrifying forbidden zone.
A bursting sound rang out. In the sea of blood, Chixu's figure suddenly appeared, but this time it was not blood-red mud, but a humanoid figure covered in sharp blood thorns. In his hands full of sharp thorns, he tightly gripped a figure, which was Jiang Xuming!
Jiang Xuming's divine spear had already broken, losing all its light. His immortal body was broken, cracks spread, and he constantly released immortal arts and beat the opponent, but he could never break free, and instead his own aura was constantly weakening, being transferred and absorbed.
"Forcing me to this appearance, you deserve to die!"
Chixu roared low, his voice filled with ferocity and killing intent.
He suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look outside the Tiantian Tiantian Mo Zu's Dao Field, and immediately after, he grinned, revealing a big ferocious smiling face, and then his head suddenly became bigger, biting off half of Jiang Xuming's body in one bite.
At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to be silent, and the thirty-six thousand immortal cities were all speechless, as if they had lost their speech, staring blankly at this scene.
Only the sound of constant chewing in the Dao Field echoed.
"Although the consumption was excessive, the taste is still okay."
Chixu evaluated it to himself, then looked at the half-remnant body that was still struggling, blood permeated his palm, covering it.
"Admit defeat quickly!"
Jiang Qiuyue couldn't help but take a risk, anxiously transmitting sound.
Jiang Xuming's Primordial Spirit had long broken free to the side. Looking at the demon gnawing on his immortal body, he let out a roar, and the three hundred golden bones in his Primordial Spirit shone at the same time, burning with scorching light, and then like a meteor meteorite, rushed toward Chixu.
He wanted to exhaust his Primordial Spirit power and perish with the opponent.
This power was extremely terrifying, and Chixu had to stop his hand movements, looking solemnly, and then he continuously urged blood arts, killing out one terrifying sharp thorn after another, killing toward Jiang Xuming's Primordial Spirit, constantly consuming all his power.
Since the end of the Ancient Demon War, not only humans but also demons had been diligently studying and cultivating. Immortal arts and killing moves aimed at the Primordial Spirit were also the reason why the core area of the True Realm was still ten thousand races ten thousand years later. After long battles, one would definitely become a famous general, and the cultivation techniques of all races were already biased toward the Primordial Spirit.
It was just that the Primordial Spirit was harder to cultivate than the realm.
Even if the comprehension was amazing, it could only slightly speed up, and it couldn't be completely solved by sudden enlightenment; it still had to rely on the years to slowly settle and accumulate.
Therefore, top prodigies like Jiang Xuming, who could cultivate three hundred Primordial Spirit golden bones within a millennium, were already heaven-defying in comprehension.
Bang!!
Suddenly, a black tripod rushed out of the sea of blood and hit Jiang Xuming's Primordial Spirit.
A huge vibration rang out, Jiang Xuming's Primordial Spirit golden flame was extinguished, and he was dizzy on the spot.
The black tripod was inverted, shrouding him inside, and then Chixu began to devour his immortal body. After devouring it, he came to the black tripod and released blood power into it, turning it into crimson blood flames, constantly burning.
The black tripod had the power of a pseudo-domain to block it, isolating Jiang Xuming's screams and sounds, but everyone could see that Jiang Xuming's Primordial Spirit was constantly struggling in the burning of the black tripod's blood flames, letting out painful howls, his whole body beginning to melt like a candle.
The pain of the Primordial Spirit was ten times or a hundred times that of the immortal body. At this moment, being alive and sacrificed, everyone could imagine how painful and miserable this was!
"Admit defeat, quickly let him admit defeat!"
"If we lose, we lose, we can't let him die!"
In every immortal city, countless people were anxious, wishing they could be on the scene themselves.
Outside the Dao Field, the Jiang Clan members were all clenching their fists, gritting their teeth to death. Those who had good relationships among them couldn't hold back just now, wanting to shout to let Jiang Xuming admit defeat, although they knew the sound couldn't be transmitted into the Dao Field, they still couldn't help but want to shout.
It was just that, before they opened their mouths, Jiang Qiuyue had already transmitted sound, letting everyone not open their mouths to persuade surrender.
Her heart was very painful, more painful than anyone else, but at the same time, she was calmer than anyone else. The defeat was set, the dead end was formed, and the scene of them anxiously calling for surrender would only become a laughingstock in the mouths of demons, destroying the morale of the human race.
This battle, the demons were also watching, and the thirty-six thousand immortal cities were all watching. The Jiang Clan lost, but the Jiang Clan could not be afraid of losing!!
"Xuming..."
Jiang Qiuyue's silver teeth were clenched. Since she served as the family head for tens of thousands of years, too many Jiang Clan prodigies had fallen during her succession, including her brother, younger brother, parents... It was not that she was incompetent, but the war was too frequent, and the human race was too weak!
Now, seeing her child fall in front of her again, her heart was still like a knife cut.
Why be so stupid, why not admit defeat? Why fight... There was a painful echo in her heart, but she knew the answer, because Jiang Xuming was surnamed Jiang.
He also wanted to slaughter demons and eliminate demons!!
"Jiang Xuming..."
The Su and Lin families, Su Muqing, Lin Jinrou, and others, all silently watched this scene. Their eyes were both sad and shocked, and even more determined, and there was intense killing intent.
Jiang Xuming lost, lost, and didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy or admit defeat, facing a dead end. But the opponent had a chance to admit defeat earlier, but the opponent wanted to burn his Primordial Spirit and fight, gamble!
This lost battle, he as the vanguard of the human race, failed to take the victory, but that fighting spirit of burning to death ignited everyone at this moment.
One can lose, one can die, but one cannot retreat!
"Is this your human race's top prodigy?"
Chixu was alive and sacrificing Jiang Xuming, his body had changed into the human appearance from before. He had a cold smile on his mouth, looking around outside the sealing barrier. The sound outside couldn't get in, but the sound inside could get out.
He laughed lightly: "The taste is very good, but unfortunately, it's just so-so..."
His words came out, and in the demon territory, all demon clans were cheering, calling Chixu's name.
"Chi Shen is invincible!"
"Spirit Blood Clan is the strongest!"
Countless demons were shouting, letting out excited and agitated sounds.
And the thirty-six thousand immortal cities of Gusu Imperial Star, those anxious, questioning, and fearful sounds, looking at the black tripod that was being sacrificed alive until the Primordial Spirit gradually extinguished, in the end, everyone fell into a silence and dead silence.
No one expected that such a stunning, such a monstrous top genius would actually fall here, and actually die so miserably!
In that oppressive and low atmosphere, I don't know who took the lead, and a voice came.
"It's just the first battle, what are you afraid of? We can fight back!"
"That must be the strongest guy among the demons. We still have the Su Clan Wang Zhenfeng who hasn't taken action, and the Lin Clan's Emperor son!"
"Right, can't be discouraged. He has a great future, fighting for us, he didn't admit defeat, how can we admit defeat?"
In every immortal city, angry roars erupted again, and countless people were united in hatred.
And at this time, in the Tiantian Tiantian Mo Zu's Dao Field, Chixu had already put away the black tripod, and Jiang Xuming had fallen just like that, in front of everyone.
This first battle, the demons won!
"It seems you didn't intend to send out the human race's top prodigies. I heard there is a Lin Clan Emperor son, and that Su Clan Wang Zhenfeng, will they participate in the battle?"
The purple-robed middle-aged man laughed lightly, but his voice passed through the boundary stone and spread throughout the human and demon lands.
Lin Daogong's eyes were deep, staring at him and saying: "Why, worried that we will shrink back? You think too much. Even if our human race goes to death, we will never shrink back!"
His words seemed to be speaking for the dead Jiang Xuming.
Countless humans were roaring, their voices shaking the sky, responding on the entire star!
That's right, even if they go to death, they will never shrink back!
The Northern Territory human race was not like other territories, a sheet of loose sand. Here, having experienced countless slaughters by demons, the human race had long seen through the demons and understood that even if they surrendered, they would only become trading currency in the hands of the demons. When they faced a dead end together, it was the moment when they collectively erupted with the greatest courage!
"That's good, don't be scared away."
The middle-aged man in purple robes chuckled; he was indeed worried that Chixu's performance would cause the human side to lose heart, leading them to send only some insignificant nobodies to go through the motions later on.
Compared to slaughtering a human prodigy, what he wanted was to annihilate this generation of human prodigies!
"Next, who is it?"
At this time, in the Tiantian Tiantian Mo Zu's Dao Field, Chixu opened his mouth, with a cold smile on his mouth, sweeping toward outside the field.
Hearing this, the crowd that was angry just now had their expressions changed.
The opponent didn't intend to go down, still wanting to fight continuously?!
For a time, the Jiang Clan, Su Clan, Lin Clan, and the prodigies of various families all had ugly expressions, both shocked and angry, and indignant.
Su Zhenyuan, Jiang Qiuyue, and the others were silent. The previous rules did not prevent anyone from fighting continuously.
The opponent brought twenty people, fighting until the end!
It was just that Chixu's performance was like this, even Jiang Xuming was suppressed and slaughtered, even taking immortal pills to surge immortal power and realm was defeated, who would be the second to take action? Who had the certainty of winning?
Everyone's gaze couldn't help but fall on Su Muqing, as well as Lin Clan's Lin Jinrou, and a few others like a Lin Clan youth.
They were the most famous among the prodigies present, and Su Muqing's fame was number one.
Sending others to take action was just sending them to death. Only they had the power to fight.
Even Lin Jinrou was a bit lacking and might not be an opponent. Counting carefully, it seemed only Su Muqing was left.
Su Zhenyuan's expression became gloomy, letting his daughter Su Muqing take action now. ===== CHAPTER 838 =====
