I awakened my god-tier passive skill early on and took off instantly

#190 - Chapter 190 The Ten Great Demon Lords

With a burst of laughter, a millstone-like object ascended into the sky above the Small Extremity Abyss. Instantly, countless spiritual energies seemed to be drawn in, converging towards the millstone. Then, they were ground and refined by the rotating millstone, transforming into streams of demonic energy that spread outwards.

"Not good! This is the demonic artifact that can corrupt the Spirit Realm! Attack together and destroy it!"

Daoist Xuanji, upon seeing the millstone, shouted loudly. Everyone understood and acted in unison, launching attacks towards the millstone. However, these attacks were intercepted halfway by a beam of bloody light.

"Haha, dreaming of destroying my clan's sacred object is simply wishful thinking!"

The attacks dissipated, and from within the thick black mist enveloping the space passage, a group of Mahayana and Tribulation Transcending stage demons emerged.

After a rough calculation, the crowd determined there were over seventy of them.

Although slightly fewer in number than their side, most of them appeared to have abundant vitality, clearly having cultivated their physical bodies as well. Therefore, their overall strength was basically no less than theirs, and perhaps even slightly stronger.

Standing in front of the group of demon experts were ten demons who had undergone the Second Tribulation, one of whom was the Crimson Blood Demon Lord who had made harsh threats some time ago.

Daoist Xuanji's expression was grave, like water. He glanced behind him, not finding Lu Xin's figure. After separating from him some time ago, Lu Xin had said he would combine the Demon Suppression Formation to research a set of formations specifically targeting demons, and had been in seclusion ever since.

"With such a big commotion, he should have sensed it," Daoist Xuanji thought to himself. At this moment, someone from the opposite side spoke.

"Crimson Blood, you really didn't deceive us. Apart from the Two Realm Abyss, this really is a passage connecting to the Spirit Realm."

A hook-nosed man scanned the humans opposite him, his eyes flashing with dark, ghostly light. Soon, his gaze lingered on a pink-clad woman in front of the humans, and he chuckled, saying:

"This尊 smells an alluring fragrance."

The pink-clad woman's expression turned cold.

Before she could react, the only female demon among the ten Second Tribulation demons coldly said, "Demon Lord Jiu, your lust is acting up again."

Demon Lord Jiu turned his head and teased, "What? You, Heavenly Yin Demon Lord, won't agree to my request, so you won't even allow me to find someone else?"

"You're courting death!" A surge of cold air emanated from the Heavenly Yin Demon Lord. At this moment, the Crimson Blood Demon Lord spoke up and shouted, "Enough! I brought you here to handle serious matters!"

The Heavenly Yin Demon Lord snorted coldly and restrained her aura.

Demon Lord Jiu also snorted coldly, "There are quite a few people on the other side too. Speak, how should we fight?"

The Crimson Blood Demon Lord did not answer, but looked towards Daoist Xuanji, "Did you receive the challenge I sent you?"

Daoist Xuanji's gaze narrowed slightly, and he stepped forward, "I received it. I didn't expect your demon race to have such scheming minds."

Demon Lord Jiu sneered, "Our demon race is just physically strong, it's not like we don't have brains." His words caused a burst of laughter from the demons.

The human side felt as if they had swallowed a fly, making them feel very uncomfortable.

Daoist Xuanji was expressionless, but in his heart, he was constantly thinking about how to deal with this matter. The space passage had already been occupied by the other side. To drive them all back, he would have to defeat them, but how difficult would that be.

Thinking of this, he sighed and slowly said, "I indeed underestimated you. Speak, how do you want to fight?"

The Crimson Blood Demon Lord said, "Although sending the challenge was a tactic, it is indeed our intention."

"So, it's still a擂台 battle?" Daoist Xuanji looked at him.

The Crimson Blood Demon Lord nodded and said leisurely, "This尊 heard that your human race calls Mahayana and Tribulation Transcending cultivators Saint Sovereigns, while our demon race calls them Demon Lords. Standing before you are the Ten Great Demon Lords of the Central Demon Region.

Coincidentally, I see that you also have ten who have undergone the Second Tribulation. How about this, we fight one-on-one, ten battles in total?"

Real Person Mingshan said, "What about the wins and losses?"

Demon Lord Jiu said, "It's very simple. If you win, we will retreat on our own accord and not commit any offenses. If you lose..."

Speaking up to here, he chuckled, and arrogantly said, "We don't need you to do anything. We will rely on our strength to invade your Spirit Realm."

"How audacious!" The human side instantly erupted in anger.

"Is this what all of you demons think?" Daoist Xuanji looked towards the Crimson Blood Demon Lord.

The Crimson Blood Demon Lord nodded in confirmation, "Knowing that it is difficult for you to make a decision immediately, I will give you two days to consider. Whether you agree or not by then, we will attack."

As he spoke, he took the lead in disappearing into the black mist.

The other demons also disappeared into the black mist.

"Wait for me." Demon Lord Jiu lewdly smiled at the pink-clad woman, and then disappeared on the spot.

"Fairy Baihua, you..." Real Person Mingshan wanted to say a word of comfort, but the pink-clad woman waved her hand and said, "It's fine, I will definitely kill this demon."

"It's good that you're fine." Seeing this, Real Person Mingshan walked to Daoist Xuanji's side, "Old ghost, this is obviously a delaying tactic. They must be waiting for that millstone to demonize this region."

Daoist Xuanji looked at the millstone in the distant sky, "How could I not know, but this is an open plot. Unless we can charge into the black mist and defeat them."

"Then what do we do?"

"Fortunately, we have placed many formations in the Small Extremity Abyss, which can be considered several barriers. Let's retreat from here first."

The crowd was helpless and had to retreat temporarily.

Subsequently, the human side truly issued a mobilization order, and also sent letters requesting assistance to the East Sea, North Plain, and West Wilderness.

However, time was limited, and they estimated that they could only arrive after the great battle.

Then, after arranging for all the experts to guard outside the Small Extremity Abyss, the ancestors of the Ten Great Holy Lands gathered together to discuss the battle.

"Are we really going to follow their plan and have a 擂台 battle?" The one who spoke was the ancestor of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, Gu Hongzi.

"I think that apart from delaying time, they won't honestly fight a 擂台 battle, and may have other conspiracies," Real Person Mingshan said.

The others nodded in agreement.

The ancestor of the Miluo Holy Land, Holy Sovereign Kucheng, continued, "The letters requesting assistance have already been sent, but time is tight, and they definitely won't be able to arrive within two days, so we still have to face this battle alone."

Everyone spoke one after another.

Daoist Xuanji had not spoken all along. After Real Person Lingxu saw this, he asked, "Old ghost, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing this, everyone stopped talking and looked towards the head seat.

Daoist Xuanji did not hide anything, "I am thinking about how to defeat the other side."

"This... apart from fighting to the death, what other methods are there?" Holy Sovereign Kucheng sighed.

The others also frowned in silence.

"Perhaps the addition of one person will make the situation different," Real Person Mingshan suddenly thought of someone.

"Who?" Except for Daoist Xuanji, everyone looked at him in confusion.

"Lu Xin."

"Lu Xin?"

Because Lu Xin had gone into seclusion early to research formations, the seven later ancestors here had not met him, but they had heard about his situation.

Holy Sovereign Kucheng said, "I have heard of this person, Lu Xin. He defeated Luo Mingzhen, the ancestor of the Sky Vault Sect, with a Divine Eye technique, and I have also heard that he has cultivated the long-lost 《Nine Revolutions Golden Body Art》 to the Eighth Revolution."

"I've also heard of it."

The ancestor of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, Gu Hongzi, said, "Although his golden body is strong, it is only relative to us. The demon race's physical bodies are generally not bad. I just scanned them, and there are several demons whose vitality is particularly strong, obviously specializing in physical body cultivation."

"It may not be able to compare to his Eighth Revolution Golden Body, but it can still entangle him, so his advantage relative to the demon race will be infinitely reduced."

The crowd nodded, that was the logic.

"Fairy Baihua, you have not spoken all along, do you have any ideas?" Daoist Xuanji did not refute, but looked towards the pink-clad woman at the end.

Fairy Baihua said, "Whether it's a direct melee or a 擂台 battle, Demon Lord Jiu is mine."

"Since Fairy Baihua is so confident, then I and the others will naturally not be willing to lag behind, but which one should we choose?" Real Person Mingshan looked towards Daoist Xuanji.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Daoist Xuanji took a deep breath, and just as he was about to make a decision, a hearty voice came from outside the hall:

"Leave the Ten Great Demon Lords to you, and let me lead the team to annihilate the other demons!"
