Chapter 702: I Will Never Submit!

"Exterminate all the demon race!" The Alliance cultivators also shouted with bloodshot eyes, casting their spells.

Once the seeds of hatred are sown, they grow wildly.

Every fallen companion makes the living even more furious, even more irrational.

The Demon God consciousness within the temple absorbs these negative energies, its strength constantly increasing.

"In another quarter of an hour, this seat will be able to fully condense a physical form," he said triumphantly.

"At that time, I will kill you two first, then go harvest the lives of those ants outside."

Lin Xuan knew time was tight and could not afford any more hesitation.

He leaped, jumping directly toward the Nine Nether Demon Scripture in the center of the blood pool.

The power of his Genesis Bloodline formed a protective barrier around him, temporarily resisting the corrosion of the blood water.

But the evil power of the blood pool was extremely strong, and the protective barrier was being consumed rapidly.

"Courting death!" The Demon God consciousness stretched out a giant palm and swiped at Lin Xuan.

But just at this moment, Bai Suxin suddenly erupted.

She burned her demon core, forcibly increasing the power of the Nine-Tail Heaven-Sealing Array.

"For Ten Thousand Demon Island, for the future of the demon race!"

A brilliant light burst forth from the Dharma Array, temporarily binding the movements of the Demon God consciousness.

Lin Xuan took the opportunity to approach the Nine Nether Demon Scripture and reached out to touch the evil tome.

Instantly, countless pieces of evil information flooded into his mind.

These messages were filled with negative emotions such as slaughter, betrayal, hatred, and despair.

An ordinary cultivator would have their mind collapse upon a single touch, becoming a puppet of the Demon God.

But Lin Xuan, relying on the purity of his Genesis Bloodline, forcibly resisted these evil messages.

"Give me... Purification!"

He poured all of his Genesis power into the Demon Scripture.

A platinum light and the blood-red evil power engaged in a final contest inside the Demon Scripture.

Light and darkness, creation and destruction, hope and despair.

The two diametrically opposed forces collided wildly, the resulting energy fluctuations causing the entire Ten Thousand Demon Island to tremble.

"No! My Demon Scripture!" The Demon God consciousness let out an angry roar.

He could feel the Demon Scripture being purified, his source of power disappearing.

But Bai Suxin's Seal Array still bound him, preventing him from stopping Lin Xuan's actions.

At this critical moment, the war outside entered its most intense stage.

Jian Wentian personally took action, engaging in battle with the Dharma-Protecting Demon King of Ten Thousand Demon Island.

Both sides unleashed their ultimate techniques; the seawater was evaporated, and the sky was torn asunder.

"Heaven Sword Thirteen Forms—Heaven-Breaking Sword!"

"Heaven-Swallowing Giant Whale—Tsunami Impact!"

A massive explosion resounded through the clouds, and intense energy fluctuations spread in all directions.

Hundreds of cultivators and demon beasts perished in the aftermath of this strike.

Countless lives vanished in an instant, and the negative energy produced surged toward the temple like a tsunami.

The Demon God consciousness absorbed these energies frantically, its strength recovering rapidly.

"Hahaha! Long live war! Long live death!"

His phantom began to solidify quickly, and the outline of a physical body could be vaguely seen.

If this continued, he would be completely resurrected in less than half an hour.

Lin Xuan felt this change, his heart filled with a sense of urgency.

He increased the output of his Genesis power, but the resistance of the Demon Scripture also became more intense.

The evil information surged like a flood against his mind, attempting to Zhuanghua him into a servant of the Demon God.

"Submit... join the darkness... power... endless power..."

These seductive voices echoed in his mind, attempting to shake his will.

Lin Xuan's hair had turned completely white, and his face was covered in wrinkles, making him look twenty years older.

The consumption of the Life Purification Technique was greater than he had imagined.

But he still gritted his teeth and persisted: "I will never submit!"

"For the peace of the Immortal Realm, for innocent lives!"

The unyielding will contained within the Genesis Bloodline erupted, engaging in a final struggle against the evil power.

Bai Suxin was also desperately maintaining the Seal Array.

Her seventh and eighth tails had also lost their luster, and her cultivation base had dropped even more severely.

But she still gritted her teeth and persisted, not letting the Demon God have a chance to interfere with Lin Xuan.

"Hurry... I can't hold on anymore..." Her voice grew weaker and weaker.

The backlash from burning her demon core caused her unbearable pain, but she still refused to give up.

Just at this moment, an even more violent explosion sounded from outside.

Clearly, some existence at the level of a Great Ability had joined the war, the power being even more terrifying than before.

Accompanying the explosion was a strong fluctuation caused by the simultaneous death of thousands of people.

After this wave of negative energy surged into the temple, the strength of the Demon God consciousness skyrocketed once again.

His body was already half-solidified, and the pressure he emitted made both Lin Xuan and Bai Suxin feel suffocated.

"It is too late! The war outside has provided this seat with sufficient power!"

"Even if you want to stop it now, it is already too late!"

The Demon God consciousness broke free from a portion of the Seal and struck a palm toward Lin Xuan, who was in the midst of purifying the Demon Scripture.

This palm strike carried the power to destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth, sufficient to completely crush Lin Xuan.

Seeing this situation, despair welled up in Bai Suxin's heart.

Her Nine-Tail Heaven-Sealing Array was already approaching its limit and could no longer provide further protection.

And Lin Xuan was at the critical moment of purification, completely unable to divert his attention to defend.

"Is it really going to end in failure?" she said, her eyes brimming with tears.

Just at the most critical moment, the temple doors were suddenly burst open.

Nezha and Zhang Wuji rushed in with several cultivators.

"Lin Xuan!" Seeing the situation before him, Nezha instantly understood the severity of the matter.

He blocked in front of Lin Xuan without the slightest hesitation, unfolding his Three Heads and Six Arms simultaneously.

The Fire-Tipped Spear, Red Armillary Sash, and Universe Ring—the three divine artifacts were unleashed at once.

"If you want to harm Lin Xuan, you must get past me first!"

Zhang Wuji also drew his Long Sword, a powerful Righteousness Long Lasts surging from his body.

"Nine Yang Divine Art—Righteousness Long Lasts!"

The two joined forces to block the Demon God consciousness's attack, but both were severely injured.

One of Nezha's arms was eroded by the evil power, and a deep wound appeared on Zhang Wuji's chest.

"Why have you come?" Lin Xuan asked in surprise.

"We heard the sounds of battle outside and knew the situation was wrong," Nezha said, gritting his teeth.

"Moreover, the war outside has completely spiraled out of control; there is simply no way to persuade them to stop."

"We can only find a way to stop everything from here."

Zhang Wuji pointed outside: "Jian Wentian and the others seem to have been struck by some kind of evil art."

"They won't listen to any advice at all and kill any member of the Demon Race they see."

"It is the same on the Demon Race side; both sides have lost their reason."

Lin Xuan instantly understood the truth: "It is the Demon God consciousness manipulating them!"

"Not only is he absorbing the negative energy of the war, but he is also influencing the minds of both sides!"

"Making them more furious and more hateful, thereby generating even more death!"

The Demon God consciousness laughed triumphantly: "Clever, but you discovered it too late."

"This seat has now recovered thirty percent of its strength, enough to crush all of you."

"Once this seat is completely resurrected, the entire Immortal cultivation world will become a sea of blood!"

Its body had already solidified for the most part, and the pressure it radiated made everyone in the temple feel terror.

Looking at the Nine Nether Demon Scripture in his hand that was still resisting purification, a resolute light flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.
