Chapter 237: Shocking the Great Desolation

"This..."

The Sanxiao were originally thinking of rescuing as many humans as possible, but seeing this scene, they were momentarily bewildered.

They did not know if there was any point in them taking action now.

After all, let alone encountering the top powerhouses of the Demon Race, even if they only met some Demon Great Luo Golden Immortals, they would have no power to resist.

At that point, not only would they fail to save the Human Race, but they would also lose their own lives.

However, after only a brief moment of bewilderment, Yunxiao's gaze quickly steadied.

She said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we must go all out! We shall save as many as we can; it can be considered repaying karma!"

The others also nodded solemnly one after another.

Subsequently, they each flew toward a certain city.

But just as they were disregarding everything to help the Human Race fight against the Demon Race, they discovered that the Human Race had actually made arrangements long ago.

Those raiding Demons had only just approached the human cities when they encountered the obstruction of powerful arrays.

These arrays were naturally the deployments Lu Yun had previously had his incarnations make in advance, and at this moment, they directly exerted their effect.

Those who took the lead in launching the attack on the Human Race were the Demons remaining on the Primordial Land; their strength was not high to begin with, and the batch with powerful strength had already been captured by Lu Yun during the previous operation against the Human Race and sent into the Qiankun World.

By now, that batch of captured Demons had long since become nutrients for the Qiankun World.

And now, for those remaining with even poorer strength, the Human Race, with the help of the arrays, made it impossible for them to even get close, and they were even injured by the arrays instead! Seeing this, Yunxiao and the others naturally all became happy.

But they also knew that this situation should not last long.

Because as the Demons who killed their way back from Outer Space joined the battle, these arrays in the human cities would simply not be able to hold them off.

In the current situation, it seemed they could only join the Human Race's defensive battle, help the Human Race hold on for as long as possible, and then wait for Lu Yun to return! However, just as Yunxiao and the others—who had previously passed the Heart-Refining Rainbow Bridge and received benefits—dispersed to various human cities and were prepared to welcome a hard battle, something unexpected happened again.

They saw that in every human city, the Fire of Inheritance burning in the center of the square suddenly began to burn violently.

Immediately following, Suirenshi's voice spread across the entire human land through the Fire of Inheritance; every city, every tribe, and every human clearly heard his call.

"People of our race, heed my command!"

Suirenshi's voice was solemn and impassioned, "The Demon Race is inhumane and has repeatedly sought to exterminate our Human Race. Today is the moment for us to strike back! Though our Human Race is weak, we also have mettle and dignity! Take up your weapons, follow me, break through the encirclement, and fight the Demon Race to the death!"

As Suirenshi's voice fell, heaven-shaking shouts rang out across all parts of the human territory. Countless human warriors surged out from all directions, holding weapons, their eyes flashing with firm light, preparing to welcome the coming battle.

This scene shocked all the disciples of the Three Teachings and the many cultivators from other sides.

They only then discovered that under Lu Yun's leadership, the Human Race had undergone earth-shaking changes. They were no longer ants to be slaughtered at will, but possessed their own faith and courage, daring to take the initiative to attack and compete with the powerful Demon Race.

"Is... is this the power of Humanity?" Duobao Daoren muttered to himself, his heart filled with shock. He had never thought that the Human Race could rise to this point in such a short time and possess the strength to contend with the Demon Race.

Guangchengzi, the Antarctic Immortal, and others also looked at each other in dismay. They had originally thought that with the Demon Race launching an all-out attack on the Human Race, the Human Race would surely suffer a catastrophe. But now it seemed the Human Race had been prepared long ago; not only were they not frightened by the Demon Race, but they were going to take the initiative to strike and fight the Demon Race to the death.

"The Human Race... has actually risen!" Many cultivators at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level sighed one after another; they had never thought that one day they would feel shocked and excited by the rise of the Human Race.

Di Jun, Taiyi, and other high-level Demons who had just entered the Primordial Land also sensed the changes in the Human Race.

They had originally thought that with Lu Yun nowhere to be seen and facing their sudden all-out attack, the Human Race would surely collapse in disarray, but now it seemed the Human Race was not as weak as they had imagined.

"This Lu Yun... is truly worthy of his reputation!" A trace of wariness flashed in Baize's eyes, "It seems we have truly underestimated the Human Race this time."

Taiyi, however, had an expression of annoyance: "A mere Human Race dares to look down on our Demon Race like this!"

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Di Jun's eyes, "Pass down the order, let the Demon Race attack with all their might, and ensure the main force of the Human Race is crushed in the shortest possible time!"

Following Di Jun's order, the Demon Race increased the intensity of their attack once again.

The humans remaining on the Primordial Land gathered one after another toward the direction of Mount Buzhou, preparing to join the main Demon force and then launch an attack on the Human Race together.

And the many powerhouses of the Human Race, under the leadership of Suirenshi, also gathered rapidly at Shouyang Mountain, preparing to resolutely face this battle concerning the life and death of their race.

Soon, the Demon side finished assembling and officially charged toward Shouyang Mountain!

On the way, Di Jun gave an order: "Activate the Great Array!"

The Demon side finished assembling, and following Di Jun's order, many Demon powerhouses urged their magic power, echoing with the stars in Outer Space, and instantly formed a vast and incomparable array—the Zhou Tian Star Formation.

Once this Great Array was activated, it emitted a heaven-destroying and earth-extinguishing might, as if the power of the entire starry sky had been mobilized, condensing into streams of terrifying attack power that swept toward the direction of Shouyang Mountain.

The Demon powerhouses were full of vigor, as if they were going to crush every obstacle in front of them.

On Shouyang Mountain, the human powerhouses were already standing by in full battle array.

Suirenshi stood before the array, his gaze firm, looking at the Demon army charging from afar, his heart devoid of fear. He took a deep breath and then gave an order: "Form the array!"

As Suirenshi's voice fell, the human powerhouses urged their magic power, and according to the layout method of the "Zhou Tian Star Formation" previously taught by Lu Yun, they also rapidly formed an array to contend with the Demon Race's Zhou Tian Star Formation.

Within the human array, Star Power was also contained; although it could not compare to the Demon Great Array in scale, the momentum it emitted was not weak in the slightest.

As soon as Taiyi saw that the Human Race had actually also formed the "Zhou Tian Star Formation," he was not angry but laughed instead: "Foolish humans!"

One must know that in their array, besides three hundred and sixty-five Great Luo Golden Immortals and many Taiyi Golden Immortals, there were also their dozen or so high-level Demons; the Human Race had a huge gap compared to them! "Attack with all your might!"

Taiyi could not wait to see how the Human Race would be powerfully crushed by the Demon Race!
