Chapter 242: He wants to grant us a Saint position, can you afford to give one?

After agreeing on the plan, the Ten Great Demon Sages defended with all their might on the battlefield, using their powerful Demon power and Supernatural Power to temporarily stall the advance of the Human Race army.

Di Jun and Taiyi acted swiftly, temporarily breaking away from the Demon Race army formation as planned to seek opportunities to kill key figures such as Zhenyuanzi.

Di Jun transmitted his voice to Taiyi: "Taiyi, you deal with Zhenyuanzi with all your strength first, and I will be responsible for intercepting Zhulong and the Queen Mother of the West to create an opportunity for you. It would be best to kill this Zhenyuanzi directly!"

"Understood!"

Taiyi agreed decisively.

In fact, he had long been displeased with Zhenyuanzi.

In the past, because Hongyun had been forced to self-destruct by them, the other party would occasionally cause trouble for the Demon Race, which annoyed him to no end.

This time, the other party had even ruined the good deeds of his Demon Race; Taiyi now wished he could tear Zhenyuanzi into pieces immediately!

Di Jun and Taiyi knew the timing was urgent and acted immediately.

"Zhenyuanzi, prepare to die!"

Taiyi was seen unleashing the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique, transforming into a streak of light, and heading straight for Zhenyuanzi.

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Taiyi, Zhenyuanzi's expression turned grave, and the Earth Book in his hand had to be withdrawn from protecting the Human Race to instead bolster his own defense.

He knew Taiyi's strength was incomparably powerful, and that Chaos Bell was even more formidable, so he had to go all out.

"Hum!"

Taiyi unleashed the Chaos Bell; the bell's toll reverberated, and Chaos Power surged out, blasting toward Zhenyuanzi.

Zhenyuanzi dared not take it head-on and channeled the Earth Book to form a thick, earthy-yellow light screen, attempting to block the Chaos Bell's attack.

However, the power of the Chaos Bell far exceeded Zhenyuanzi's imagination; under the impact of the Chaos Power, the light screen shattered rapidly, forcing him to retreat repeatedly until he channeled several more Supernatural Powers to neutralize this wave of attacks.

But before he could catch his breath, Taiyi launched the Chaos Bell again, attacking him once more.

On the other side, seeing that Zhenyuanzi's situation was dire, the Queen Mother of the West and Zhulong wanted to step in and help.

But with a flash, Di Jun blocked the path of Zhulong and the Queen Mother of the West, the River Chart and Luo Book in his hands blooming with dazzling light to form an indestructible barrier, temporarily trapping the two.

The two were shocked and furious, but they could only display their own Supernatural Powers to contend with Di Jun.

On the other side, Zhenyuanzi retreated violently again, his face pale.

He felt anxious; after two or three collisions, he already knew that if he continued to tangle with Taiyi, he would likely be unable to withstand his powerful attacks and would sooner or later be defeated and killed.

Unless he retreated now by borrowing the power of the earth.

But Zhenyuanzi also knew that once he fled the battlefield, the pressure on the Demon Race army would be greatly reduced, and the Human Race would inevitably fall back into an even more dangerous situation.

He struggled internally, wanting to preserve himself while also wanting to win a glimmer of survival for the Human Race, and at the same time secure a chance for himself to prove the Dao.

Most importantly, if he gave up this opportunity, he would have no chance to avenge his old friend Hongyun in the future!

Just as Zhenyuanzi hesitated, Taiyi launched another attack. While channeling the Chaos Bell, he also invoked the Sun True Fire.

"Boom!"

The raging flames surged toward Zhenyuanzi.

Zhenyuanzi's expression changed drastically; he knew that even if he wanted to flee now, it would be difficult to escape.

At this critical moment, a melodious sound of a zither suddenly rang out, and as the music surged, it actually dispersed Taiyi's Sun True Fire.

Zhenyuanzi hurriedly seized the opportunity to escape the encirclement of the Sun True Fire, then looked up in the direction from which the zither music came, only to see a figure flying from afar—it was Fuxi.

Holding the Fuxi Zither, Fuxi's figure was elegant and graceful; he looked at Zhenyuanzi with a firm gaze and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, I have come to assist you!"

Zhenyuanzi felt a surge of joy, knowing that with Fuxi's help, he might still be able to turn the situation around.

He hurriedly expressed his gratitude: "Many thanks for the rescue, Fellow Daoist Fuxi!"

Seeing Fuxi helping Zhenyuanzi, Taiyi was furious and scolded: "Fuxi! My Demon Race honors you as the Xi Emperor and has always treated you well; yet today you turn around to help others against the Demon Race—you are simply shameless!"

Fuxi could feel that among the Demon Race army confronting the Human Race not far away, many demons were casting disappointed gazes at him.

Regarding this, he felt helpless and troubled, saying in a deep voice: "Although this act is indeed a betrayal of the Demon Race, I cannot watch the Demon Race exterminate the Human Race created by my sister, so, everyone, please stop!"

Taiyi frowned: "Stop?"

Fuxi nodded and persuaded: "As long as the Demon Race is willing to stop here, I can persuade Lu Yun to no longer be an enemy of the Demon Race."

Hearing this, Taiyi fell silent, not daring to make a decision, and looked toward Di Jun.

Di Jun, however, refused flatly, saying: "This is the Dao of the Demon Race and the Dao of Humanity; how can we retreat? Moreover, at this point, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the Demon Race and the Human Race, and even Outer Space has been seized—where can we retreat to?"

Fuxi did not know what to do for a moment.

He did not believe he could persuade Lu Yun to return Outer Space to the Demon Race.

Just as Fuxi was caught in a dilemma, Di Jun ordered coldly: "Taiyi, do it. Anyone who stands before our Demon Race is an enemy; just crush them all!"

Di Jun had a strong feeling that in this decisive battle, only by winning would he have a chance to prove the Dao; if he retreated or was defeated, he would never be able to make a comeback!

Therefore, he was prepared to fight the Human Race to the death and naturally would not consider any retreat.

"Yes!"

Taiyi shouted, and the Chaos Bell in his hand crashed down, the terrifying Chaos Power sweeping over.

Watching Taiyi launch another attack, Fuxi felt anxious but understood that he had to go all out at this moment.

He took a deep breath, and the strings of the Fuxi Zither in his hand were plucked again; the melodious zither music echoed across the battlefield, forming invisible musical notes in an attempt to block Taiyi's attack. However, the power of Taiyi's Chaos Bell was too great; although Fuxi's zither music was profound, it still appeared inadequate in the face of absolute strength.

Fortunately, Zhenyuanzi timely channeled the Earth Book to intervene, which helped him block this attack.

However, Taiyi's strength was incomparably powerful, and under his frenzied successive attacks, the power of the Chaos Bell was even more terrifying. Even with Fuxi and Zhenyuanzi joining forces, they felt extremely strained.

Their defenses were teetering under the impact of the Chaos Power, as if they would collapse at any moment.

Di Jun watched coldly from the sidelines, observing Fuxi and Zhenyuanzi struggling to hold on, while sneering in his heart. He knew that this battle no longer had any suspense.

As long as Taiyi crushed Fuxi and Zhenyuanzi and then helped him kill the Queen Mother of the West and Zhulong, the Human Race would have no other fate but to be exterminated by them! He suddenly had a thought, looked at the Queen Mother of the West and Zhulong, and said: "The two of you, this Emperor does not know what benefits that Lu Yun promised you, but if you turn back now and join my Demon Race, this Emperor can make you the West Emperor and Dragon Emperor of my Demon Race, with status second only to myself and Taiyi. What do you think?"

He was actually still trying to turn the Queen Mother of the West and Zhulong against their side.

If he could succeed, with the shift in power, the chances of exterminating the Human Race would be even greater! However, facing his attempt to turn them, the Queen Mother of the West and Zhulong remained unmoved, each still channeling their Spiritual Treasures and unleashing Supernatural Powers, attempting to break free from the encirclement of the River Chart and Luo Book to go and support Zhenyuanzi and Fuxi.

Regarding this, Di Jun was very puzzled and demanded: "That Lu Yun, what exactly did he promise you?!"

Zhulong sneered, "He wants to give us a Saint position; can you provide one?"

Di Jun was speechless for a moment.

He had to admit that with Lu Yun's current status as the Humanity Spokesperson, and the precedent of him guiding the Ancestral Witch to become a Saint, such a promise was indeed tempting.

And he truly could not offer equivalent terms!

This made him feel even more depressed.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Today, as long as my Demon Race annihilates the Human Race, his so-called Humanity will cease to exist. He will be unable to even protect himself, let alone fulfill the promises he made to you!"

Hearing this, the usually reticent Queen Mother of the West suddenly couldn't help but speak up: "With us here, don't even think about it!"

The two sides clashed head-on, and for a time, the battle became even more intense.

……

Within Chaos.

The seven Pangu Phantoms manifested by Lu Yun's avatars were still continuing to battle Hongjun.

Each of the seven Pangu Phantoms radiated an aura that shook the heavens and earth; they were like seven true Saints descending, and every attack contained the power to destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth.

The first Pangu Phantom held a giant axe and slashed down; the void shattered and Chaos surged, forming a terrifying rift that bore down on Hongjun. Hongjun's expression was grave as he brought out the Creation Jade Slip, mobilizing the power of the Heavenly Dao to form a sturdy barrier, barely blocking this strike.

However, before he could catch his breath, the second Pangu Phantom had already appeared on his other side, condensing a bolt of lightning in its hand and striking down with a boom. The power of the lightning exploded, weaving into a net like ten thousand bolts of lightning, attempting to trap Hongjun within. Hongjun moved, instantly disappearing from where he stood to dodge the lightning attack.

Immediately following, the third Pangu Phantom transformed into a gale, whipping up the sky full of Chaos to form a massive vortex that sucked Hongjun inside. Within the vortex, space was twisted and time was chaotic; Hongjun felt a powerful tearing force constantly trying to rip him apart. Startled, he channeled all his magic power and finally broke free from the vortex.

At the same time, the fourth Pangu Phantom formed seals with its hands, drawing upon the Creation Power of heaven and earth to condense a brilliant beam of light that shot straight at Hongjun. Wherever the beam passed, all matter in Chaos was instantly annihilated; the terrifying destruction forced even Hongjun to retreat several steps.

The fifth Pangu Phantom let out a long roar, the sound shaking the heavens and earth, forming waves of sonic attacks. These sound waves surged through Chaos, turning into countless sharp blades that sliced at the defenses around Hongjun's body. Hongjun felt a chill in his heart and, not daring to be the least bit careless, channeled the Creation Jade Slip with all his might to resist.

The sixth Pangu Phantom manipulated the Law of Time, attempting to trap Hongjun in a state of time stasis. However, as the Heavenly Dao Spokesperson, Hongjun also had a profound understanding of the Law of Time; with a single thought, he broke the effects of the time stasis.

The final Pangu Phantom condensed endless dark power, attempting to swallow Hongjun into the infinite darkness. However, as the Heavenly Dao Spokesperson, light and darkness were both within his single thought; he waved his hand lightly, and the dark power dissipated without a trace.

The attacks of the seven Pangu Phantoms were continuous and unending. Although Hongjun was the Heavenly Dao Spokesperson with unfathomable strength, under such dense attacks, he had to respond with all his might. He constantly channeled the Creation Jade Slip, mobilizing the power of the Heavenly Dao to defend, but every defense cost him a massive amount of magic power.

As time passed, Hongjun's complexion gradually became grave.

He had not expected Lu Yun to be able to manifest such powerful avatars, and these avatars cooperated with tacit understanding, their attacks continuous and unending, leaving him somewhat flustered for a moment, feeling quite like the time he was besieged by Great Desolation Demon Gods in Chaos.

What made Hongjun even more depressed was that in the current situation, Lu Yun's true self hadn't even participated, and had only dispatched avatars to besiege him! He understood in his heart that if this continued, he might truly be exhausted to death by these avatars.

He had actually already thought of a way to turn the situation around, but unfortunately, his Good Corpse, Zixiao Daoren, had gone to chase down Fuxi and the others earlier and had run too far away, so he still hadn't returned.

As for Lu Yun's true self, while watching the battle, he was also leisurely checking the situation of the battle on the Primordial Land through the vision of his avatars.

At this moment, it could be seen that Di Jun and Taiyi were each holding off several Quasi-Saint reinforcements, while the collision between the Human Race army and the Demon Race army was still ongoing.

However, as time passed, with the Demon Race missing two great powerhouses in Di Jun and Taiyi, their weakness began to show.

But just as Di Jun had said before, the Demon Race now had no way back; all the Demon Race powerhouses were holding their breath, which was the only reason they were barely maintaining the stalemate between the two sides.

If the Human Race wanted to solve them in one go, it was not impossible, but it would clearly require paying a not-insignificant price.

Lu Yun naturally did not wish to see this.

When in doubt, of course, ask the group members!

He decisively used his consciousness to seek help in the chat room again.

Lu Yun: "Great masters, the Human Race and Demon Race are currently deadlocked on the Primordial Land. The situation isn't very good. Does anyone have any ideas on how to speed up the resolution of the Demon Race while preserving the strength of the Human Race as much as possible?"

The members of the Transmigration Chat Group had originally been focused on observing the chaotic battle between Lu Yun's avatars and Hongjun, and had even forgotten to send messages for a while.

Seeing the message Lu Yun sent, they were all a bit stunned for a moment.

Jiang Ye: "Holy crap, Great Master Lu Yun, you are too awesome!"

You Fang: "Hiss! To have the mood to ask us for suggestions while fighting a great battle with Hongjun!"

Liu Chongxiao: "Hahaha, it's a pity Hongjun doesn't know of our existence; otherwise, if he knew of Great Master Lu Yun's actions right now, he would probably be angered to death!"

Lin Chen: "@Lu Yun, you had better not let your guard down. I believe Hongjun definitely hasn't used his full strength yet. Better safe than sorry!"

Lu Yun: "Don't worry, don't I still have a trick up my sleeve? Everyone, tell me first if there's a way to speed up the resolution of the Demon Race. I'll finish them off first, then focus on dealing with Hongjun!"
