Chapter 992: Chapter 992

If Brother Long were at his peak, he wouldn’t have been swallowed by the Demon Lord so easily.

But he had been entangled with Lu Chenzhou and the Dragon King for a long time, already spent.

Moreover, he was utterly unprepared, so entering the Demon Lord’s belly, he had almost no power to resist.

This shows the power of a top-level demigod.

The Four Emperor Level, capable of sitting on par with some weaker True Gods.

Lu Chenzhou and the Dragon King did not act hastily, keeping their eyes fixed on the Heavenly Disaster Demon Lord.

To devour one’s own kind without batting an eyelid, truly the Evil God of Stars.

The Demon Lord grinned and said, "Not bad, I’ve regained some Divine Power."

He raised the giant axe, a terrible momentum sending the Green Profound Sword and Eight Directions Seal flying, cleaving towards the final chain with the light of Heaven and Earth Creation.

Lu Chenzhou and the Dragon King moved, their forms appearing beneath the axe light, one lifting a spear, the other smashing a fist, combining their efforts to repel the axe light.

"We can’t let the Demon Lord break the seal," was their shared thought.

Originally, it would take the Demon Lord some time to break the seal.

But after Brother Long presented a head, they felt that if not blocked, the Demon Lord could shatter the binding rules with just a few axe strikes.

"You can’t stop me." The Demon Lord’s pride soared skyward, cleaving out with another axe.

Lu Chenzhou chanting "Nine Soldiers Array," the shattered spiritual weapons coalesced once more, blocking the front with the Green Profound Sword and Eight Directions Seal.

Clang! The sound of gold and iron clashing, the Demon Lord’s axe clashed fiercely with nine treasured weapons.

While Lu Chenzhou was tangled with the Demon Lord, the Dragon King seized the opportunity, his form swelling like the Heaven and Earth Form, his fist crushing downward like a star.

Boom! A solid punch landed on the Demon Lord’s back, his figure staggered, leaving a gory hole in his scale-armored body.

He turned to look at the Dragon King and sneered, "Not bad, you’ve grown a bit stronger."

His body quickly restored, the sturdy dragon-shaped tail swept sideways like a great whip, the Dragon King’s crossed arms blocking.

Crack! Time and space were drawn out into a fissure channel, the Dragon King flew backwards into the Ruins Sea, breaking through several small worlds.

"Dragon King, are you alright?" Lu Chenzhou manipulated the nine soldiers, continually attacking the Demon Lord.

"I’m fine, this guy’s tough, my divine skills can only inflict minor injuries," the Dragon King said gravely.

"Give me a few more years... I’m just a hair away from Breaking Nine," Lu Chenzhou said.

Lu Chenzhou originally wanted to break through Nine before facing the Demon Lord.

But various unexpected situations compelled him to confront the Demon Lord ahead of time.

He possesses the Undying trait, the Demon Lord can’t kill him, but neither can he kill the Demon Lord.

The realm gap is too vast, trying to exhaust the Demon Lord isn’t feasible.

And once the Demon Lord emerges, if he destroys the Three Thousand Worlds, they can’t stop him.

Those in the God Slaying Sword Formation also need ample rest.

Unless they lure the Demon Lord into the Xia Realm, utilizing the home field advantage, dragging until the God Slaying Sword Formation reactivates, there would be hope for victory.

In the ensuing battle, Lu Chenzhou nearly used all means and divine skills except for the Undying trait, fully halting the Demon Lord’s emergence.

The Dragon King also unleashed his full power, using the Great Divine Power·Heavenly Fist as if it were free, continuously bombarding the Demon Lord.

Their offensive indeed caused the Demon Lord considerable trouble, but that was the extent.

The Dragon King sent a message to Lu Chenzhou: "We can’t go on , we’re both being tightly restrained by the Demon Lord... Leave, you return to Da Xia and retreat."

Lu Chenzhou replied, "What about you? The Demon Lord’s power has increased substantially, you certainly can’t restrain him alone."

"How long until you Break Nine?" the Dragon King asked.

Lu Chenzhou thought for a moment, "Three years."

The Great Power Tribulation itself consumes time, he still needs to adjust his state, comprehend the secrets of Mastering Dao, so three years is the shortest time.

"Three years, huh? You return to Tianxia, have Kunxu come to assist me, I’ll give it a try," the Dragon King said solemnly.

Honestly, it’s difficult.

But at present, there’s no other way.

Lu Chenzhou was decisive, lingering here was meaningless.

Furthermore, though the Demon Lord is strong, in the end, he’s just a demigod; the real terrible enemy is yet to come.

"If you can’t hold on, return to Tianxia... At worst, we’ll abandon everything, defend Tianxia, and can still battle the Demon Lord," Lu Chenzhou said, abandoning the Three Thousand Worlds is the most desperate, helpless outcome.

"Mm, don’t be too pessimistic, isn’t your elder brother also close to Breaking Nine? The three of us still have hope," the Dragon King said, his muscles bulging, veins protruding, blood mist seeping and burning fiercely, his aura rising to the middle stage of the Nine Realms.

He laughed and said, "Go, let me witness the power of Da Xia’s number one genius."

Lu Chenzhou nodded and clasped his fists, then quietly left.

He knew, the Dragon King might use life-burning methods.

Before leaving, he passed the "Nine Soldiers Array" to the Dragon King.

At a critical moment, self-destructing two Emperor Weapons could also cause the Demon Lord some trouble.

Boom! Two massive figures collided, the heavens and earth shook violently.

The Demon Lord’s arrogant laughter echoed.

Lu Chenzhou returned to Xia Star.

The Eternal Immortal and others greeted him.

"Red-clothed and Brother Long have fallen... but the Demon Lord might emerge earlier than expected."

Lu Chenzhou brought one good news and one bad news.

Everyone’s expressions were complicated.

The Yaochi Immortal smiled and said, "Alliance Hierarch, you’ve done your best."

"Having already killed two upper-level demigods... accidents are inevitable." Old Wang also comforted.

"I am fine. The situation with the Dragon King is dire. I need to explain some matters and then close off until the Breakthrough Nine." Lu Chenzhou said.

"Okay, I’ll call all the high-ranking members." The Eternal Immortal said.

Soon after, the projections of the Tianxia high-ranking members appeared.

Lu Chenzhou said, "Currently, of the Three Thousand Worlds demigods, only the Demon Lord remains uneliminated. Now the Dragon King is fighting the Demon Lord alone. All members of the Mystic Sky Alliance listen to the order. Before the Demon Lord is eradicated, everyone must stay on Xia Star, protect the civilization fire seed of all races, and activate all protection arrays, at any cost. If the Demon Lord reaches the Xia Realm, at the most critical moment, the Zouyu Water Mansion and various Divine Mansions will open for temporary refuge."

As long as there are people, there is hope.

The homeland will always have a day it can be reclaimed.

Everyone realized the severity of the issue.

This might be the greatest crisis in the Three Thousand Worlds since the end of the Ancient Divine War.

"Alliance Hierarch, rest assured, we swear to protect the Xia Realm!"

"If there’s nowhere to retreat, we’ll fight to the bitter end."

Lu Chenzhou then invited Sword Demon, Clam Girl, and Priest to come.

He said, "If the three of you have mostly recovered, please support the Dragon King. Zhang Ancestor, Lv Ancestor, and other seniors will assist you."

The God Slaying Sword Formation is still the key to confronting the Demon Lord.

"Lu, my fellow Daoist, rest assured in your retreat, leave it to us."

"With the strength of our civilization, we will resist the Demon Lord together!"

"Haha, maybe by the time you come out of retreat, the Demon Lord will have already been killed by us."

Deploying all the cards and contingency plans that can be activated.

Lu Chenzhou entered the self-created world within his body, sitting amidst the endless chaotic Qi flow, closing his eyes to comprehend.

With the sustained support of the Seed Dao and the Propagation Dao methods, the Martial Arts Tree unknowingly grew to 9.6 billion feet tall.

Previously, at the Primordial Point in the black hole, Lu Chenzhou’s understanding of the Chaos Dao had reached a higher level.

"Mastering Dao... how to master the chaos?" Lu Chenzhou pondered, beginning his retreat.

Blue Mountain Buddha Country.

"The situation is not good." Red Leaf Ancient Emperor looked at the situation of the Three Thousand Worlds.

"Lung Ge’s death caused the Demon Lord to emerge early... Tianxia might not be able to withstand it. Although the God Slaying Sword Formation is strong, the cultivation of those holding the formation is too low, making it difficult to threaten the strongest demigods below divine beings. The Dragon King has top-level talent, but his cultivation is too low. Even combining all potential great power battle forces in Tianxia, they are not a match for the Demon Lord. The key lies in whether Lu Chenzhou can Breakthrough Nine. Only if he breaks through Nine will he have the ability to withstand the Demon Lord’s assault."

The Ancient Emperor Lanshan sighed.

He was contemplating internally, seemingly making a decision.

"This is becoming more and more interesting. Who would have thought, the Demon Lord can now devour other demigods. It seems the fusion with the True God Dao is not far off."

Forget Worry Elder Mother smiled. They had originally given up hope on these demigods.

Unexpectedly, the Demon Lord brought a little surprise.

The Daoist Lord is also known as the Merging Dao.

At this level, one can devour and merge close and similar Dao branches, integrating multiple Daos into Unity.

During the devouring of branches, continually strengthening and integrating, ultimately mastering the Supreme Dao.

So the strength of a True God depends first on the level of the Dao, second on how many Dao branches have been merged.

Like the Elder Mother, originally an Illusion Realm Daoist Lord, she also devoured the Heart Emperor’s Great Dream Dao, creating an extremely strong Nightmare Dao.

As for the Witch, originally a Four Elements Dao Master of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, they have also devoured many other divine Daos, making their power unfathomable.

These True Gods who survived the Divine War, once they can successfully enter the Dao Palace, their strength will soar, even stronger than before.

"The Holy Lord is also about to descend. With coordination with the Demon Lord, it should end all this." The Blood God also sighed.

"For these mortals to push us to this extent is commendable. Fortunately, with the control of the Divine Court, cultivators cannot become gods, halting at the Nine Realms; otherwise, if the Four Emperors and the Ancient Great Powers became gods, overthrowing this Great Universe would be like climbing to the sky." A god said.

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the NoveI~Fire.net

"Whew... you’re called the Dragon King, right? To entangle with me for so long, I will ensure you die gloriously." The Demon Lord looked at the bloodied iron tower-like man in front of him, grinning hideously, "But with my one axe, wielding timeless power, can you withstand it?" He burned his aura, bringing the axe down vertically.

The axe light broke through chaos, dimming the sun and moon, unstoppable.

The Dragon King, like an enraged dragon ascending to the heavens, spiral punches clashing with the axe light.

"Fool, with this punch of mine, only garnering two hundred forty years of power, yet it can block your million years of power!"

The Dragon King scoffed, and after speaking, groaned, spitting out blood, his aura extremely weary.

In a year, he had almost burned out.

The cards gained from traveling and in the Dou Ancestor Cave Mansion were all exhausted.

Trying to block the Demon Lord for three years was indeed impossible.

The Dragon King felt a deep sense of helplessness.

Unable to fight back, the Dragon King naturally decided to retreat.

He, as one of the few great powers of civilization, dying here would be meaningless.

Better to reroute; if he could lead the Demon Lord to the Xia Realm, with the God Slaying Sword Formation, there might still be a fighting chance.

He moved in a flash, turning into light to leave this realm.

"Stay with me!" The Demon Lord, with a few strikes, sliced through the chain with his axe.
