Chapter 717: United as One, the Final Three Minutes

All the Demon God Xintu began to flee frantically from the waters surrounding Ten Thousand Demon Island.

They unleashed the fastest escape techniques of their lives, wishing they could grow wings to fly away.

But even if they fled a thousand miles away, they might not be able to escape the shockwave of the Restriction's eruption.

The situation inside the temple was becoming increasingly critical.

There were only five minutes left on the Restriction's countdown.

The tremors in the ground grew more violent; the entire temple was shaking intensely and could collapse completely at any moment.

The cracks on the walls were constantly widening, and massive stones fell from the ceiling from time to time.

Even more terrifying was that an eerie red light had begun to emerge from the bottom of the blood pool.

That red light churned like magma, emitting destructive energy fluctuations.

This was a sign that the Core of the Restriction was about to activate; once the red light completely surged out of the blood pool, the entire Restriction would enter an irreversible state of eruption.

Although Nezha and Zhang Wuji were severely injured, they still forced their bodies to stand up.

Nezha wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Lin Xuan, we're here to help you!"

Zhang Wuji also gripped his Long Sword tightly: "Even if I have to risk this life, I must stop the Restriction!"

Although the two knew their strength was of limited help in a battle of this level, they still chose to fight side by side.

This was the power of friendship; even knowing they were no match, they would still face it together with their brother.

Bai Suxin's body had become extremely transparent, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

The bloodline fusion had exhausted almost all of her life essence, and she was now relying entirely on willpower to hold on.

But she was still using her final life force to maintain the bloodline connection with Lin Xuan.

"Lin Xuan... you must succeed..." she said weakly.

"I will hold on until the very last moment..."

The Taiji Creation bloodline required the balance of two bloodlines to operate stably.

Once Bai Suxin's bloodline connection was severed, the power within Lin Xuan's body would lose its balance, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, she had to persist; even if it meant sacrificing her life, she had to persist until the end.

Lin Xuan felt the support of his companions, and a stronger fighting spirit surged in his heart.

While fighting the Demon God, he diverted a portion of his energy to purify the final Seal of the Nine Nether Demon Scripture.

Time waited for no one; he had to create a miracle within these final five minutes.

The Vast Sea True Dragon and Bai Suxue also rushed into the temple, seeing the tragic battle before them.

"We are here!" the Vast Sea True Dragon roared.

"Little Friend Lin Xuan, let us fight together!"

All power converged at this moment, and all hope was pinned on this final battle.

"Boom!"

The Vast Sea True Dragon's full-force strike finally blasted a huge gap in the barrier.

Golden light and blood light collided fiercely, producing a blinding radiance; the entire temple trembled incessantly under this impact.

He and Bai Suxue rushed into the temple impatiently, but the sight before them made both of them gasp.

This was truly a scene of the apocalypse.

Lin Xuan was locked in a fierce battle with a giant Demon God ten meters tall, every collision producing earth-shattering energy fluctuations.

The entire temple was tottering, and the walls were covered in spiderweb-like cracks.

The ground had been blasted with countless bottomless fissures by the two's battle, and from some, one could even hear the sound of wind coming from deep underground.

Huge stones kept falling from the ceiling, hitting the ground with deafening sounds.

Even more terrifying, the red light at the bottom of the blood pool was growing brighter, churning like molten lava.

The air was filled with the scent of death, making one feel a suffocating oppression.

"How much time is left for the Restriction?" the Vast Sea True Dragon asked loudly, his voice sounding somewhat weak on the chaotic battlefield.

Bai Suxue closed her eyes, carefully sensing the state of the Seal.

A moment later, her face turned deathly pale: "Less than three minutes!"

This news struck the two like a bolt from the blue.

Three minutes, for a battle of this level, was merely the blink of an eye.

Just then, hurried footsteps and the sound of flapping wings came from outside the temple.

Jian Wentian, Yunyou Zhenren, and other human powerhouses rushed in, followed closely by the Golden-Haired Roar, Silver Wing, and other Demon Kings.

They were all top-tier powerhouses of the Immortal Realm, but upon seeing the Demon God before them, everyone was shocked.

This was the terrifying existence from legend that had nearly destroyed the entire Immortal Realm.

Even though it had only recovered sixty percent of its strength, it still exuded a suffocating pressure.

Every muscle on the Demon God's body contained destructive power, and its blood-red skin was carved with eerie demonic patterns.

Two eyes like blood moons scanned the new "guests," filled with disdain and killing intent.

"A few more ants have arrived?" the Demon God sneered.

"Perfect, I'll finish you all off together!"

But what worried everyone even more was the countdown of the Restriction.

The red light at the bottom of the blood pool was growing brighter, and the entire temple was shaking violently under the influence of that destructive energy.

If they could not stop it in time, everyone present would be buried here.

Not only that, the entire Ten Thousand Demon Island, and even innocent lives a thousand miles away, would be reduced to ashes in the explosion.

"Join forces!" Jian Wentian gave the order without hesitation.

"No matter what, we must stop the Restriction from erupting!"

Yunyou Zhenren nodded in agreement: "Now is not the time to dwell on past grievances!"

The Golden-Haired Roar let out a roar: "Human race, Demon race, today we are comrades-in-arms!"

Silver Wing spread its massive wings: "For the sake of all life, let's give it our all!"

At this moment, the human and demon races, who had been enemies for generations, truly united.

Faced with a crisis of life and death, all hatred and prejudice seemed insignificant.

Bai Suxue then revealed a shocking secret: "Seniors, the Restriction is not impossible to stop!"

Her voice was exceptionally clear on the chaotic battlefield: "But we need to find the true Core of the Seal!"

Everyone stopped their movements, listening intently to her explanation.

Bai Suxue pointed toward the depths of the blood pool: "There is an ancient divine stone there, which is the foundation of the entire Seal Array."

"As long as we can purify the evil mark on the divine stone, we can stop the Restriction from erupting!"

Everyone followed her finger and looked, and sure enough, at the very bottom of the blood pool, they could vaguely see a stone emitting a faint light.

But the problem immediately became apparent.

The divine stone was located at the very bottom of the blood pool, surrounded by dense evil aura.

That evil aura churned like black mist, and any living creature that touched it would be instantly corroded.

Ordinary cultivators could not get close at all, let alone carry out the purification work.

Moreover, the Demon God clearly knew this secret, and he was desperately trying to stop Lin Xuan from approaching the blood pool.

Whenever Lin Xuan tried to move toward the blood pool, the Demon God would launch even more violent attacks, forcing him back.

Yunyou Zhenren immediately analyzed the situation: "We must divide the work and cooperate."

"Some of us will assist Lin Xuan in confronting the Demon God, while others find a way to approach the Seal Core."

This suggestion was agreed upon by everyone.

The Vast Sea True Dragon nodded and said: "I and several Demon Kings will be responsible for pinning down the Demon God, while Alliance Leader Jian takes people to purify the divine stone."
