Chapter 701: A Life-and-Death Struggle, the Flames of War Aid the Demon

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, his Creation Bloodline circulating at full power.

White-gold light surged from his body like a tidal wave, colliding violently with the black aura of the Demon God.

The moment these two diametrically opposed forces collided, the entire temple trembled violently.

The ancient murals on the walls began to flake off, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground.

"A mere junior, and you wish to contend with this seat?" the Demon God consciousness let out a ferocious laugh.

Although it was only a remnant consciousness, the pressure of the ancient Demon God remained terrifying.

The black, evil aura surged toward Lin Xuan like a wild tide, intending to completely destroy his will.

Seeing Lin Xuan fall into danger, Bai Suxin immediately took action.

Nine snow-white tails unfurled simultaneously, each one radiating a different light.

She began to execute the supreme secret art of the demon race—the Nine-Tail Heaven-Sealing Array.

This was a top-tier spell that only a Nine-Tailed Fox King could master, powerful enough to seal the heavens and the earth.

"Nine stars return to position, heaven and earth become the array, seal!"

The nine tails traced complex trajectories in the air, forming a massive Dharma Array.

Brilliant starlight flickered in the center of the array, each star representing a power of the demon race.

Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, and light—the nine attributes merged perfectly.

The powerful sealing force swept toward the Demon God consciousness.

Sensing this power, the Demon God's eyes flashed with a hint of wariness: "The Nine-Tail Heaven-Sealing Array?"

"I never imagined the demon race still possessed such an ancient secret art."

"However, this level alone is not enough to trap this seat."

He waved his illusory arms, and the blood pool instantly began to boil.

Countless thick, blood-colored tentacles extended from the pool, attacking the two of them like an octopus.

These tentacles emitted a corrosive aura, and the ground they touched was immediately melted into deep pits.

Lin Xuan dodged the physical attacks of the blood-colored tentacles while resisting the Demon God's mental assault.

But the dual pressure made him unable to hold on, and his face turned pale.

"Ordinary attacks are ineffective against him," Lin Xuan gritted his teeth.

"I must use the core power of the Creation Bloodline."

He began to circulate a forbidden spell he had never used before—the Life Purification Technique.

This was one of the most powerful abilities of the Creation Bloodline, capable of purifying all evil in the world.

But the price was equally heavy; each use consumed a massive amount of life force.

"Light of Creation, purify the evil!"

An even purer white-gold light erupted from Lin Xuan, several times stronger than before.

As soon as this light appeared, the tentacles in the blood pool immediately began to melt.

The Demon God consciousness also let out a painful howl, its illusory body becoming even more transparent.

"Impossible! How can the Creation Bloodline be this powerful!"

"My consciousness is actually being purified!"

But Lin Xuan also paid a huge price.

After using the Life Purification Technique, half of his hair turned white instantly.

Fine lines appeared on his face, and his life force was clearly waning.

Seeing this, Bai Suxin felt both shocked and worried.

To maintain the operation of the Nine-Tail Heaven-Sealing Array, she was also giving her all.

Five of her nine tails had already lost their luster, turning a dull gray.

This signified that her cultivation was dropping rapidly, and thousands of years of bitter practice were draining away quickly.

"No, if this continues, we will both be exhausted to death," Bai Suxin gritted her teeth.

"This Demon God consciousness recovers too quickly."

Just then, a heaven-shaking explosion suddenly erupted outside the temple.

This was followed by the startled cries of countless cultivators and demons, as well as the metallic sound of weapons clashing.

"Kill all these demons!"

"Humans shall not occupy our holy land!"

"Avenge our fallen companions!"

Various angry shouts and battle cries mixed together, forming a terrifying wave of sound.

Lin Xuan's face turned extremely ugly in an instant: "No, the war outside has broken out."

The three thousand elites of the Righteous Alliance and the tens of thousands of demon beasts from Ten Thousand Demon Island finally encountered each other on the sea.

Both sides were blinded by anger and hatred, engaging in a life-and-death struggle the moment they met.

The light of the cultivators' spells intertwined with the innate supernatural powers of the demon beasts, dyeing the entire sea area blood-red.

Countless lives perished in this meaningless war.

Every dying life released intense negative emotions—fear, anger, despair, and hatred.

These negative energies were absorbed by the Demon God consciousness like nourishment.

"Hahaha! War, death, hatred!" the Demon God consciousness laughed excitedly.

"These are exactly the nutrients this seat needs most!"

"Thank you for preparing such a sumptuous feast for this seat!"

As the war outside progressed, the phantom of the Demon God's consciousness began to become solid.

The originally transparent body gradually gained substance, and the evil aura it emitted grew increasingly intense.

The blood in the blood pool boiled more violently, and countless new tentacles continuously grew out.

The situation for Lin Xuan and Bai Suxin became even more dangerous.

"He is absorbing the negative energy of the war." Lin Xuan realized the severity of the problem.

"If the war continues, he will be completely resurrected very soon."

"By then, not only will we die, but the entire cultivation world will fall into disaster."

Bai Suxin endured the pain of her cultivation base draining away: "Then what should we do?"

"The current situation is that if we don't stop him, we will die, and if we don't stop the war outside, he will also be resurrected."

Lin Xuan looked at the churning blood in the blood pool, a resolute light flashing in his eyes.

"There is only one way."

"I must enter the blood pool and attack the main body of the Nine Nether Demon Scripture directly."

"As long as the Demon Scripture is destroyed, the Demon God's consciousness will lose its support and will naturally dissipate."

Bai Suxin said in shock: "No! The evil power in the blood pool is too strong!"

"Once you enter, your body will be instantly corroded!"

"Moreover, the Demon God's consciousness is still there; you would be delivering yourself to your doom."

Lin Xuan gave a wry smile: "I know it's dangerous, but this is the only chance."

"We cannot stop the war outside; we can only solve the problem at its root."

He once again circulated the Life Purification Technique, preparing to forcibly break through the blood pool's defenses.

But after using it this time, the other half of his hair also turned white.

The wrinkles on his face became more obvious, and his life force declined significantly once again.

"You madman!" the Demon God's consciousness roared in anger.

"Since you are in such a hurry to die, this seat will grant your wish!"

Dozens of blood-colored tentacles attacked Lin Xuan simultaneously, each carrying destructive power.

Bai Suxin used all her strength to maintain the Nine-Tailed Heaven-Sealing Array, buying time for Lin Xuan.

But her Sixth tail also began to lose its luster, and her cultivation base dropped even more severely.

"Lin Xuan, I cannot hold on for much longer!" she said, gritting her teeth.

"If you are going to act, you must be quick!"

The sounds of battle outside became increasingly intense, and the casualties grew heavier and heavier.

Although the alliance army led by Jian Wentian was well-equipped, the demon race was fighting on their home turf and had a clear geographical advantage.

Both sides were caught in a frenzied slaughter, completely forgetting the absurdity of this war.

"Kill all these invaders!" a giant sea demon roared as it attacked a human warship.
