509: Immortal Emperor Legion

“Ahhh—!”

Exclamations and screams were continuous.

The Demon Race army immediately halted, too terrified to advance further, and a large number of demons even began to scatter and flee.

“Bastards!!”

A Demon Race Giant stepped out from the Void Realm, emanating terrifying pressure, and a furious roar shook the entire Demon Race army, making them freeze in place as if thunder had exploded in their minds.

“Keep charging! Level the Human Race border for Lord! Those who dare to retreat shall die!”

Bang! Bang!

As soon as his voice fell, a large number of low-level Demon Race members who were retreating and fleeing directly exploded into blood mist.

The remaining Demon Race army dared not resist and immediately charged madly towards Demon Suppression Pass again.

They endured the bombardment of various grand formations along the way, finally reaching Demon Suppression Pass, then formed giant combined attack battle formations, also blasting towards Demon Suppression Pass.

But they were all blocked by an ancient defensive formation.

Next, both sides exchanged blows, bombarding each other, falling into a strange stalemate.

However, Demon Suppression Pass, with its countless years of accumulation, was not afraid of attrition, and its defense was incredibly powerful; even if a Dominator expert attacked, it would be difficult to break through in a short time.

In contrast, the Demon Race army was constantly suppressed and could not withstand the attrition, suffering continuous casualties.

It was entirely used to deplete the Foundation of Demon Suppression Pass.

Half a year later.

Seeing the heavy casualties and extremely low morale of the Demon Race army, a Demon Race Giant began to change tactics, instructing the Demon Race army in the rear to bypass Demon Suppression Pass and directly attack the Human Race territory from other directions.

“The Eastern Extremity Immortal Emperor Legion, lead ten Immortal King Legions to intercept the left-flank Demon Race army! The Western Extremity Immortal Emperor Legion, lead ten Immortal King Legions to intercept the right-flank Demon Race army! Attack immediately!”

Qingming Demon Suppression General immediately gave the order.

“Yes!”

One powerful legion commander after another immediately moved out, leading the Immortal Emperor and Immortal King Legions, which were already poised for battle, out of Demon Suppression Pass and towards the two flanks of the Demon Race army.

Immortal Emperor experts, who were top-tier existences in most worlds of the Heavens, had five legions in Demon Suppression Pass. The Four Extremity Legions each had thirty thousand Immortal Emperors, and the strongest Central Immortal Emperor Legion had a full hundred thousand Immortal Emperors.

Moreover, Immortal Emperor Legions were not only composed of Immortal Emperors.

The supreme commanders of each Immortal Emperor Legion were all terrifying Peak Great Perfection Dao Lords, and every general under them was also a Dao Venerable-level expert.

The strongest Central Immortal Emperor Legion was even directly commanded by a Demon Suppression General.

The configuration of the Immortal King Legions was significantly inferior; each legion had one hundred thousand Immortal Kings, and the supreme commander was only a Lesser Extremity Dao Venerable, with some Immortal Emperor-level generals below him.

In reality, the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors in these legions, even if all combined, were far less powerful than a single Dao Venerable expert. Their main role was actually to condense the power of everyone through battle formations, amplifying the commander’s strength.

In each legion, the commander was the true core.

A Peak Great Perfection Dao Lord, with the amplification of an entire Immortal Emperor Legion, could even unleash power comparable to a Giant expert.

This was the true meaning of the legion’s existence.

Compared to the hundreds of millions of Demon Race troops, ninety-nine percent of whom were cannon fodder, the Human Race legions were definitely elite forces.

After all, a massive population was the Foundation of the Human Race.

The Human Race was Innate weak, and the probability of giving birth to Prodigies was already much lower than other powerful races. If they were to consume a large number of mid-to-low-level experts, wouldn’t that be self-destruction?

Moreover, the truly vast number of the Human Race was actually the mortal realm population below the immortal realm; the number of Human Race experts in the immortal realm Domain was actually not much different from other Peak powerful races.

Especially experts at the Immortal Emperor and Dao Venerable levels.

As for the mortal realm Human Race, no matter how vast their numbers, they wouldn’t consume too many resources.

...

As the Human Race legions moved out, the great war entered its next phase.

“Everyone, be prepared. If a Demon Race Giant expert makes a move, please intercept them immediately.”

Qingming looked at the many experts summoned by the Ancestor Court beside him and said in a deep voice.

“Fellow Daoist Qingming, rest assured. If an old Demon Race fellow makes a move, leave it to us.”

“Haha, Lord has been waiting for a long time. Let’s see which old Demon Race thing dares to show its face!”

A group of Giant experts responded with laughter.

On the other side, a group of young experts were already eager to move, looking at the dense Demon Race army outside the pass, wishing they could immediately rush out and fight.

But now was the time of great war, and they were not allowed to leave the pass at will; it was not yet their turn to act.

...

Time flew by again for another half a year.

Relying on the geographical advantage of Demon Suppression Pass, the Human Race legions from all sides routed the Demon Race army, preventing them from advancing even a single step into Human Race territory.

On the front lines, the Demon Race army charging towards Demon Suppression Pass suffered even more severe casualties under the continuous bombardment of various ancient grand formations, with dismembered limbs and shattered corpses everywhere, staining large areas of the Boundary Sea space with a layer of blood.

In just over a year, countless mid-to-low-level Demon Race experts died, and the entire Demon Race army significantly dwindled.

If all the corpses were preserved intact, they could definitely pile up into a mountain ten thousand zhang high.

However, for the upper-level Demon Race experts, using the lives of some useless cannon fodder to consume a large amount of Demon Suppression Pass’s Foundation was all worth it.

Seeing that many ancient grand formations in Demon Suppression Pass began to show problems and stopped operating due to continuous high-intensity operation.

Some Demon Race Giants finally could not tolerate it and appeared, charging towards Demon Suppression Pass.

“You Human Race ants, do you only dare to cower in this turtle shell? Have the guts to come out and fight Lord!”

A burly Demon Race Giant, hundreds of zhang tall, carrying a giant axe, provocatively looked at the people in Demon Suppression Pass.

“Hehehe, I smell a sweet scent. The flesh and blood of Human Race experts are truly memorable.”

A gaunt Bone Demon Race Giant licked his lips, a bloodthirsty red light appearing in his eyes.

Boom—!

A terrifying attack appeared out of thin air, fiercely striking the defensive barrier of Demon Suppression Pass.

“You Human Race ants, get out and die!”

One Demon Race Giant after another flashed into appearance, their terrifying pressure crushing the Void Realm, instantly spreading throughout the entire Demon Suppression Pass.

“Presumptuous!”

“A bunch of Demon Race barbarians, daring to come knocking on death’s door, truly tired of living! Lord will make sure you never return today!”

Inside Demon Suppression Pass, Giant experts flashed out, looking at the Demon Race Giants with Killing Intent.

“Everyone, let’s act! Give these Demon Race beasts a taste of their own medicine!”

“Haha, kill!”

“Human Race ants, seeking death!”

Boom! Boom!—!

The two sides instantly clashed, nearly thirty Celestial Sovereigns erupting with terrifying power that intertwined, forming a terrifying energy storm that swept out, collapsing space-time, shaking the Boundary Sea, and instantly shattering large areas of the Void Realm.

Demon Suppression Pass, being too close, immediately suffered a violent impact, and its defensive barrier shook violently.

The remaining Demon Race army outside the pass suffered a devastating blow, with countless casualties in an instant.

Those who miraculously survived immediately fled desperately to the rear.
