Chapter 716: One Heart, One Mind, A Moment of Life and Death

"No... this is impossible..." the Demon God said, trembling.

"This seat is absolute evil! How could it be purified!"

But the reality was laid out before his eyes; his power was rapidly declining.

However, just as Lin Xuan was about to completely suppress the Demon God, a more intense tremor came from beneath the temple.

That was a sign that the Ancient God-Extinguishing Restriction was about to fully activate.

"Damn it!" Lin Xuan's expression changed.

While fighting the Demon God, he anxiously sensed the state of the Restriction.

Through his precognition ability, he saw the terrifying scene after the Restriction fully activated.

The entire Ten Thousand Demon Island would be reduced to dust in an instant, the shockwave would spread for a thousand miles, and countless innocent lives would vanish in the explosion.

"Less than a quarter of an hour left!" Lin Xuan felt anxious in his heart.

He had to resolve all problems before the Restriction erupted.

But the final layer of the Nine Nether Demon Scripture's Seal had still not been fully purified; it was the Core of the entire sealing system.

As long as the Demon Scripture existed, the Restriction could not be stopped.

While dodging the Demon God's attacks, Lin Xuan turned his attention to the Nine Nether Demon Scripture in the blood pool.

The ninth layer of the Demon Scripture's Seal emitted a blood-red light, and the evil power contained within it was even stronger than the sum of the previous eight layers.

"Must be done simultaneously!" Lin Xuan made up his mind.

Outside the temple, Canghai Zhenlong and Bai Suxue were desperately attacking the barrier.

As the intensity of the battle inside the temple continued to rise, the cracks on the golden barrier grew larger and larger.

Blood-red evil aura continuously leaked out from the cracks, winding and slithering in the air like venomous snakes.

Canghai Zhenlong could feel the terrifying pressure coming from the other side of the barrier; that power fluctuation had far exceeded the Demon King level.

As an ancient existence who had lived for three thousand years, he had seen countless powerhouses, but he had never felt such a terrifying aura.

It was a kind of pure destructive power, as if it wanted to turn everything in the world into nothingness.

"Must get in as soon as possible!" Canghai Zhenlong said through gritted teeth.

"Lin Xuan and the others cannot hold on for much longer!"

He began to burn his own dragon bloodline; this was a forbidden secret technique of the dragon race, capable of erupting with several times his strength in a short period, but the price was permanent loss of cultivation.

The massive dragon body emitted a dazzling golden light, and thousands of years of cultivation erupted in an instant.

Canghai Zhenlong opened his giant mouth and took a deep breath.

Dragon breath condensed rapidly within his body, containing the power to destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth.

"Heaven-Breaking Dragon Breath—Split Mountains and Cleave Seas!"

A golden beam as thick as a water barrel sprayed out from his mouth, turning into a world-destroying dragon breath that slammed into the barrier.

Wherever the dragon breath passed, the space showed signs of distortion.

"Boom!"

The dragon breath hit the barrier, erupting with an earth-shattering roar.

The golden barrier vibrated violently, and the cracks on its surface instantly expanded several times over.

But this ancient barrier that had existed for thousands of years was still not completely broken.

"Again!" Canghai Zhenlong disregarded the loss of his cultivation and gathered his dragon breath once more.

Bai Suxue was not idle either; she unleashed the secret technique of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan.

"Nine-Tail Illusion—Space Shattering!"

Nine illusory tails unfolded behind her, each tail emitting a silver light.

These lights converged together, forming a sharp spatial rift.

The spatial rift cut toward the weak point of the barrier like a sharp blade, forming a perfect coordination with Canghai Zhenlong's attack.

"Crack!"

The barrier finally could not withstand the dual attack, and a huge gap appeared.

The two immediately rushed inside.

At the same time, on the battlefield far out at sea, Jian Wentian and the others also felt the anomaly coming from the depths of Ten Thousand Demon Island.

That terrifying pressure swept over like a tsunami, making everyone feel unprecedented fear.

Whether they were righteous cultivators or Demon God Xintu, all could feel a fear originating from the instinct of life.

Everyone stopped fighting and looked toward the direction of Ten Thousand Demon Island in shock.

"What kind of power is this?" Jian Wentian's face was pale.

"Even more terrifying than the legendary Demon God."

His cultivation was already approaching the Transformation Stage, but in front of this pressure, he still felt as small as an ant.

Yunyou Zhenren looked toward the direction of Ten Thousand Demon Island with a grave expression: "I fear the Ancient God-Extinguishing Restriction has been triggered."

"If we let it fully erupt, we will all die."

As the most learned Elder in the Righteous Alliance, he knew more about ancient secrets.

The power of the Ancient God-Extinguishing Restriction was recorded in detail in ancient books; it was a destructive power of mutual destruction.

Once fully activated, a radius of a thousand miles would be reduced to ruins, and no living creature would be able to survive.

"Now is not the time for infighting!" Jian Wentian shouted loudly.

"Everyone listen to my order, stop all attacking behavior immediately!"

Realizing the severity of the situation, the powerhouses of all sides began to put aside their prejudices to deal with the crisis together.

Jian Wentian ordered all alliance cultivators who were still conscious to stop the civil war and move toward Ten Thousand Demon Island with all their might.

Those cultivators controlled by evil arts gradually regained their reason under the impact of this terrifying pressure.

The crisis of life and death reawakened their true nature, and they were no longer manipulated by evil power.

The reaction on the side of the demon race was much the same.

The various demon kings gathered with their elite clansmen toward the direction of the temple.

Jinmao Hou roared: "Now is not the time to haggle over the hatred between humans and demons!"

"If the Restriction inside the temple erupts, we are all finished!"

Yinyi also spread his huge wings, carrying dozens of eagle demons as he flew toward Ten Thousand Demons Island:

"We must stop that Restriction! No matter what the cost!"

Demon kings like Jinmao Hou and Yinyi fought side by side with human powerhouses like Jian Wentian and Yunyou Zhenren for the first time in a true sense.

Everyone understood that at this critical juncture of life and death, racial hatred had become meaningless.

If the eruption of the Restriction cannot be stopped, both the human race and the demon race will be completely wiped out.

"Alliance Leader Jian, let us cooperate for the time being!" Jinmao Hou shouted loudly to Jian Wentian.

"The experts of my race will listen to your command!"

Jian Wentian nodded: "Good! Now we are comrades-in-arms!"

This scene left many cultivators and demon beasts feeling shocked.

The human and demon races, who had been enemies for generations, had actually chosen to join forces at this life-and-death moment.

Perhaps this is the preciousness of life; when facing a true desperate situation, all hatred will be set aside.

Wucaizi and other Demon God Xintu saw this scene and knew the situation was lost.

Their original mission was to incite a great war between humans and demons to provide enough negative energy for the Demon God's resurrection.

But now the Demon God has already resurrected ahead of schedule, and is also facing an unprecedented threat.

What is even more terrifying is that once the ancient God-Extinguishing Restriction erupts, even they, these Demon God Xintu, will be blown to smithereens.

The Demon God will not stop the Restriction to save his subordinates; in his eyes, these Xintu are merely tools that can be discarded at any time.

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!" Wucaizi issued the final order.

"Everyone get away from Ten Thousand Demons Island, as far as possible!"
