Chapter 697: Nine-Tail Heavenly Dance VS Demon God Descends

"Who dares to trespass on Ten Thousand Demon Island?" a Golden-Winged Peng screeched sternly.

"This is the sacred ground of the demon race; humans are forbidden from entering!"

The Withered Bone Demon General sneered, "A mere beast, yet you dare to block this General?"

With a casual wave of his hand, a breath of black death shot out.

The Golden-Winged Peng had no time to dodge and was struck instantly.

Its strong body shriveled rapidly, turning into a withered skeleton in just a few seconds.

The other demon beasts were so shocked by this scene that they were left speechless.

The Golden-Winged Peng was one of the island's protectors, and its strength had reached the peak of the Transformation Stage.

To be killed in a single move—the strength of this group of Black-robed Men was terrifying.

"Go notify the Fox King!" a Fire Lion roared.

"Hurry and notify the Fox King!"

The news quickly reached the core area of Ten Thousand Demon Island—the Nine-Tail Palace.

This was a palace built of white jade, radiating a holy glow under the sunlight.

In the center of the palace, the Nine-Tailed Fox King Bai Suxin was meditating and cultivating.

She possessed a stunningly beautiful face, her long hair draped down like a waterfall, and nine snow-white tails swayed gently behind her.

Each tail represented a thousand years of cultivation; nine tails meant she had reached the peak realm of the demon race.

"Lord Fox King!" a little fox ran into the palace in a panic.

"Human cultivators have forcibly broken into Ten Thousand Demon Island and killed the Golden-Winged Protector!"

Bai Suxin slowly opened her eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.

"Human cultivators?" Her voice was as cold as ice.

"I have agreements with all the major human sects; they would not provoke us without cause."

"What is the origin of these people?"

The little fox trembled as it said, "They... they claim to represent the ancient covenant."

"They demand that we hand over a Golden Treasure hidden on the island."

"After Lord Fox King refused, they attacked."

Bai Suxin instantly understood the identity of the intruders.

The ancient covenant, the Golden Treasure—these keywords all pointed to one possibility: the Nine Nether Demon Scripture.

Thousands of years ago, the ancestors of Ten Thousand Demon Island had indeed obtained the first volume of the Nine Nether Demon Scripture from the hands of humans.

But that was under extremely special circumstances, and it had already been deeply sealed; even she could not easily open it.

"It seems the Xintu of the Demon God have come knocking." Bai Suxin stood up.

Her nine tails stood upright instantly, radiating powerful demonic energy.

"Since they want to fight, then let us give them a fight!"

On the outskirts of Ten Thousand Demon Island, the battle had erupted in full force.

Although the dozen or so Xintu led by the Withered Bone Demon General were few in number, their strength was extremely formidable.

They were all using evil techniques recorded in the Nine Nether Demon Scripture, the power of which far exceeded ordinary Immortal Art of Techniques.

Life Drain, Breath of Death, Soul Corrosion—all sorts of evil moves emerged one after another.

Although the hundreds of demon beasts were brave, they suffered heavy casualties when facing such evil power.

The ground was covered with the corpses of demon beasts; some had their life force drained, while others were corroded into black bones.

The air was filled with the scent of death, and even the seawater had been dyed a ghastly blood-red.

Just then, a white light shot up into the sky from the Nine-Tail Palace.

Bai Suxin had finally made her move.

Her figure streaked across the battlefield like lightning, her nine tails dancing simultaneously.

Each tail carried demonic energy of a different attribute—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Fenglei, Ice, and Light.

The nine powers fused perfectly, forming a destructive force capable of shattering the heavens and destroying the earth.

"Supreme Demon Art—Nine-Tail Heavenly Dance!"

Countless rays of light shot out from her tails, enveloping the entire battlefield like flowers scattered by a celestial maiden.

Several weaker Xintu were instantly killed, turning into flying ash and dissipating.

Seeing this power, a hint of wariness flashed in the Withered Bone Demon General's eyes.

"As expected of the Nine-Tailed Fox King, your strength is indeed not trivial."

"But do you think this is enough to stop me?"

He formed seals with both hands and began to cast an even more evil technique.

"The Yuan Gu Moshen grants me power—Demon God Descends!"

The Withered Bone Demon General's body began to undergo a terrifying transformation.

His shriveled muscles filled out again, and his height surged to over three meters.

His skin turned ash-black, covered in evil Rune markings.

The green flames in his eyes burned more fiercely, radiating a terrifying pressure.

"This is a Forbidden Technique that borrows the power of the Demon God!" Bai Suxin's expression turned grave.

She could feel the terrifying aura emanating from him, no less than the Demon God of those years.

Although it was only a temporary borrowing, the power was still terrifying.

The ensuing battle became even more intense.

Bai Suxin unleashed all the ultimate arts of the demon race, her nine tails dancing in unison, demon Qi soaring to the heavens.

The Withered Bone Demon General, relying on the power of the Demon God, displayed destructive force capable of ruining the heavens and extinguishing the earth.

The clash between the two made the entire Ten Thousand Demon Island tremble, with towering waves and the earth shaking and mountains swaying.

The battle lasted for a full hour, and both sides paid a heavy price.

Half of the Withered Bone Demon General's subordinates were dead, and Bai Suxin was also severely injured, with three of her nine tails having lost their luster.

In the end, the Withered Bone Demon General realized that taking it by force would not work and began to change his strategy.

"Nine-Tailed Fox King, your strength truly makes me look at you with new eyes."

He returned to his original appearance; although his tone was calm, the malice in his eyes grew even more intense.

"But do you think this is the end?"

"We are determined to obtain the first volume of the Nine Nether Demon Scripture; since taking it by force won't work, then we shall take it by wit."

"Soon you will know what a foolish decision it was to refuse us."

After saying this, he disappeared over the sea surface with his remaining subordinates.

Although Bai Suxin had achieved victory, her heart was filled with unease.

She knew that this group of Demon God Xintu would not let the matter rest and would certainly think of other ways.

Sure enough, just three days later, a terrifying rumor began to spread throughout the cultivation world.

Ten Thousand Demon Island was assembling a great army, preparing to invade the human continent.

The Nine-Tailed Fox King had already colluded with evil demons to carry out a bloody massacre against the human race.

All human cultivators should unite to launch a preemptive strike against Ten Thousand Demon Island.

This rumor spread extremely quickly, and within a few short days, it had spread throughout the entire cultivation world.

What was even more terrifying was that many people chose to believe it.

Because fear is often easier to spread than reason, especially during this turbulent period.

At Guardian Peak, the interim acting leader Jian Wentian immediately convened an emergency meeting.

"Everyone, the threat from Ten Thousand Demon Island is already imminent," he said impassionedly.

"This is precisely the consequence of Lin Xuan defecting from the Coalition Army."

"Without a powerful deterrent, various factions have begun to stir."

"We must act immediately and launch a preventive attack on Ten Thousand Demon Island!"

Wucaizi immediately echoed, "Sect Leader Jian is right!"

"If we let the demon race launch an attack first, we will be at a disadvantage."

"We must strike first to gain the advantage!"

Other Sect Leaders also expressed their support one after another, and the resolution to send troops to Ten Thousand Demon Island was quickly passed.

A Coalition Army composed of three thousand elite cultivators began to assemble, preparing to march east to Ten Thousand Demon Island.

When the news reached Ten Thousand Demon Island, Bai Suxin was furious.

"The human race is actually so treacherous!"

"We never thought of invading the continent, yet they want to attack us proactively!"

"Since that is the case, then let us fight!"
