99: Chapter 99 The Traitor Strikes, Earth's Veins Disturb

The pressure of the demon god phantom shrouded the earth like a canopy, and all Cultivators were awed by this power surpassing Soul Transformation, plunging the battlefield into a brief silence.

Bai Yunzhou fully contracted his Chaos Domain around him, protecting Song Xinghe and the others by his side within it, turning the Law suppression feature to its maximum, yet he could only barely offset part of the impact brought by the demon god's pressure.

"This is the true power of the demon god..." Zhou Zhiting's face turned pale, and the halo of her Battle Blood Sacred Body was trembling slightly, obviously enduring immense pressure.

Deng Mufeng tightly gripped the Formation Plate, his fingertips turning white: "Surpassing Soul Transformation... How could we possibly win against it?"

Song Xinghe leaned on his long sword, barely straightening his body: "Even if we can't beat it, we must still fight! The Holy Land is our home, and we must never let the demon god destroy it!"

Bai Yunzhou did not speak, only tightening his grip on the liefeng sword, his Chaos Eye staring fixedly at the demon god phantom, trying to find its weak points.

He could clearly see that although this demon god phantom was powerful, it was not a physical entity, but rather condensed from the pure will of the demon god and the power of blood fiends; as long as its energy connection with the leyline fissure was severed, it could be dispersed.

"Everyone, listen to my orders!" Bai Yunzhou's voice broke the silence with unquestionable firmness, "Ling Shuang, lead the Sword Cultivators to deploy the Ice Soul Sword Array, trap the limbs of the demon god phantom, and prevent it from approaching the leyline core!"

"Senior Brother Song, Senior Sister Deng, you lead the Disciples to clean up the battlefield, slay the remaining demon sect Cultivators, and prevent them from interfering with us!"

"Zhiting, come with me to attack the energy pivot connecting the demon god phantom and the leyline fissure!"

"Understood!" Everyone answered in unison, and although their hearts were filled with fear, under Bai Yunzhou's leadership, their fighting spirit was reignited.

Ling Shuang immediately led the Sword Cultivators of Sword Valley to deploy the Ice Soul Sword Array around the demon god phantom.

The ice-blue sword light intertwined into chains, wrapping around the limbs of the demon god phantom in an attempt to trap it.

Song Xinghe and Deng Mufeng led the Disciples to charge towards the remaining demon sect Cultivators, and a new battle broke out once again.

Bai Yunzhou and Zhou Zhiting exchanged a glance, leaped up simultaneously, and flew towards the direction of the leyline fissure.

"Ant-like humans, how dare you attempt to challenge this seat?"

The demon god phantom let out an angry roar, its huge palm slamming fiercely toward the two, the palm wind carrying the might of devouring everything.

Bai Yunzhou's eyes condensed as Chaos Sword Dao: Myriad Techniques Return to One operated at full power, condensing five-colored sword qi to meet the demon god's giant hand.

Zhou Zhiting also fully erupted her Battle Blood Sacred Body, the thunder light on the leihuang gauntlets surging violently.

With a single punch, countless bolts of thunder poured down, bombarding the demon god's giant hand.

Boom!

The five-colored sword qi and thunder light struck the giant hand simultaneously, erupting with a heaven-shaking roar.

The demon god's giant hand was shaken to a slight pause, and tiny cracks appeared on its surface.

"Interesting."

A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the demon god phantom, which immediately turned into a sneer, "But this bit of power is still far from enough!"

Its other giant hand suddenly grabbed towards Bai Yunzhou at lightning speed, giving the two no chance to dodge at all.

At this critical juncture, a streak of golden sword light suddenly flew from the direction of the Holy Land's main Peak, piercing straight at the eyes of the demon god phantom—it was True Monarch Tianxing!

"Bai Yunzhou, I'll hold it back!"

True Monarch Tianxing's voice came over, the light of the xuanhuang sword brilliant to the extreme, containing the power of the Xuanhuang Leylines.

The demon god phantom was forced to withdraw its giant hand to block True Monarch Tianxing's attack, and Bai Yunzhou and Zhou Zhiting seized the opportunity to rush near the leyline fissure.

Around the fissure, blood-red runes flashed frantically, and countless blood lines extended from the runes, connecting with the demon god phantom and continuously transporting energy to it.

"These blood-red runes are the energy pivot!"

A sharp light flashed in Bai Yunzhou's eyes, "Zhiting, let's strike together and destroy these runes!"

"Okay!"

Zhou Zhiting nodded, her Battle Blood Sacred Body erupting once again, thunder light and blood-red halo intertwining to form a powerful energy fist print.

Bai Yunzhou also operated the Power of Chaos at full power, slashing out a streak of sword qi containing the Chaos Origin from his liefeng sword, piercing straight at the blood-red runes.

Just as the attacks of the two were about to hit the runes, a sudden change occurred!

"Pfft!"

With a soft sound, a black dagger suddenly pierced through Zhou Zhiting's shoulder from behind, and blood gushed out instantly.

Zhou Zhiting's expression changed as she turned back in disbelief, only to see a Holy Land inner sect Elder standing behind her with cold eyes, holding a blood-stained dagger in his hand.

"Elder Li, you..."

Zhou Zhiting's voice trembled; she never expected that the traitor who betrayed the Holy Land would actually be the amiable Elder Li all along.

Elder Li's mouth curled into a sneer: "Junior Sister Zhou, don't blame me. Those who know current affairs are wise; Lord Demon God is about to descend, and only by submitting to Lord Demon God can one attain eternal life."

As he spoke, his other hand condensed a streak of black energy, piercing straight toward Zhou Zhiting's glabella, obviously intending to completely slay her.

"Stop!"

Bai Yunzhou's eyes split open with rage as he turned and slashed his sword toward Elder Li, the Chaos Intent containing endless fury.

Elder Li's expression changed, and he hurriedly retreated, dodging Bai Yunzhou's attack: "Bai Yunzhou, you cannot stop the descent of Lord Demon God either. It's better to submit together, and you can still save your life."

"Delusional!"

Bai Yunzhou shouted angrily, fully expanding his Chaos Domain to envelop Elder Li within it, the Law suppression causing Elder Li's aura to plummet instantly.

He did not give Elder Li any chance, continuously slashing with the liefeng sword as streaks of Chaos sword qi intertwined into a net, firmly trapping Elder Li.

"No—! I am not resigned!"

A trace of madness flashed in Elder Li's eyes, and his Dantian suddenly bulged—he was actually going to detonate his Nascent Soul.

Bai Yunzhou's eyes turned cold as the Power of Chaos condensed into a chain, binding Elder Li's limbs, while a wisp of extinction Sword Intent flicked from his fingertips, sealing his spiritual power.

Elder Li went limp all over, his self-detonation forcibly interrupted, his eyes filled with despair.

Bai Yunzhou walked up to him, pointing his sword at his glabella: "How many more traitors are there? What is their objective?"

Elder Li clenched his teeth and said nothing, clearly intending to rather die than yield.

"It seems I can only use the Soul Searching technique."

Bai Yunzhou's eyes turned cold as he pressed his right hand on Elder Li's head, his Divine Sense forcibly invading into his Sea of Consciousness.

Elder Li let out a miserable scream, bleeding from his seven orifices, as the memory fragments in his Sea of Consciousness were read one by one by Bai Yunzhou.

As it turned out, Elder Li was not the only traitor within the Holy Land; there were also three core Elders and more than a dozen deacons. They were all undercover agents planted in the Holy Land by the Reincarnation Hall, and their objective was to destroy the final defense of the leyline core while the demon god phantom attracted everyone's attention, helping the demon god completely break through the Seal.

"Not good!"

Bai Yunzhou's heart sank. He hadn't expected the Reincarnation Hall to have planted so many undercover agents in the Holy Land, and their target was the final defense of the leyline core.

He immediately said to Zhou Zhiting: "Zhiting, you heal your injuries first, I'll go stop the traitors!"

Zhou Zhiting nodded, took out a healing pill and swallowed it, operating her Battle Blood Sacred Body to repair her wounds, and looked at Elder Li with cold eyes: "Traitor, I will kill you with my own hands!"

Bai Yunzhou turned into a streak of cyan light, flying towards the defense hub of the leyline core.

The defense hub was located beneath the Xuanhuang Platform, which was a secret room built from xuanhuang crystals, inside which the final sealing Formation was set up. Once destroyed, the demon god could easily break through the Seal.

When Bai Yunzhou arrived, the door of the secret room had already been opened, and the three core Elders and more than a dozen deacons were destroying the sealing Formation.

Their bodies were lingering with the grey-white aura of the Reincarnation Hall, clearly having completely submitted to the Reincarnation Hall.

"Stop!"

Bai Yunzhou shouted angrily, fully expanding his Chaos Domain, the Law suppression causing the auras of all the traitors to plummet instantly.

The three core Elders' expressions changed as they turned to look at Bai Yunzhou: "Bai Yunzhou, you are too late! The sealing Formation has already been mostly destroyed by us; in just a moment, Lord Demon God will be able to completely break through the Seal!"

"You traitors!"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Bai Yunzhou's eyes as the liefeng sword was unsheathed, the Chaos Intent condensing to the extreme, "Today, I shall purge the sect for the Holy Land!"

His figure flickered, turning into a cyan afterimage as he lunged straight at the three core Elders, slashing out a streak of five-colored sword qi from his liefeng sword with boundless power.

The three core Elders attacked simultaneously; all three were at the Peak of the Late Stage Nascent Soul cultivation, and combined, their power was extremely strong.

They condensed a grey-and-white energy barrier, blocking Bai Yunzhou's sword qi.

Boom!

The sword qi slashed onto the barrier, causing it to tremble violently and ripple in layers, yet it did not shatter.

"Bai Yunzhou, do you think that relying on yourself alone, you can stop us?"

Elder Zhang, who was at the lead, sneered, "We have already obtained the Legacy of the Reincarnation Hall, and our strength far surpasses before!"

As he spoke, the three simultaneously operated the Cultivation Technique of the Reincarnation Hall, the grey-white aura around their bodies surging violently to form three huge Reincarnation phantoms, pouncing towards Bai Yunzhou.

The Reincarnation phantoms contained the two Qis of life and death, with eerie power, and wherever they passed, space was distorted.

Bai Yunzhou's expression was solemn as his Chaos Eye operated at full power, seeing through the trajectories of the Reincarnation phantoms.

At the same time, the Power of Chaos intertwined with the four-element Laws, condensing into an even more massive five-colored sword qi.

"Chaos Sword Dao: Myriad Techniques Return to One: Realm Breaking!"

With an angry shout from Bai Yunzhou, the five-colored sword qi slashed out with a roar, colliding with the three Reincarnation phantoms.

Boom!

A heaven-shaking explosion sounded, the three Reincarnation phantoms were torn apart by the sword qi, and the three core Elders were shaken back repeatedly, blood overflowing from their mouths, their auras wilting.

Seeing this, the dozen-plus deacons all made their moves, various spells, Talismans, and weapons attacking Bai Yunzhou simultaneously in an attempt to stop him.

"Trifling skills!"

Bai Yunzhou let out a cold snort, his Chaos Domain erupting at full power.

The pale-grey light barrier blocked all attacks outside, while his liefeng sword swept horizontally, a streak of Chaos sword qi slaying all dozen-plus deacons completely.

Having dealt with the deacons, Bai Yunzhou looked at the three core Elders again, a chilling murderous intent flashing in his eyes: "Now, it's your turn!"

His figure flickered, instantly appearing in front of Elder Zhang, his liefeng sword thrusting straight at his glabella.

Elder Zhang's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly operated his spiritual power to condense a defensive barrier, but it was pierced through by Bai Yunzhou's sword, the blade piercing out from his glabella.

"No—!"

Elder Zhang let out a miserable scream, his body slowly falling as he breathed his last.

Seeing this, the other two core Elders felt a trace of fear flash in their eyes and turned to run away.

"Want to run? Not that easy!"

Bai Yunzhou let out a cold snort, stepping on the zhuiyun boots, his figure like lightning as he instantly caught up to the two.

The liefeng sword slashed consecutively, two streaks of Chaos sword qi slaying both of them.

Having resolved all the traitors, Bai Yunzhou hurriedly looked at the sealing Formation, only to see that the Formation had been mostly destroyed.

Countless blood-red runes poured out from the fissure, their connection with the demon god phantom growing even tighter, while the xuanhuang qi of the leyline core became even more manic, causing the entire leyline to tremble violently.

"The Formation must be repaired as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Bai Yunzhou thought to himself, taking out the xuanhuang crystals scavenged from Xuanyinzi's storage ring to begin repairing the Formation.

The xuanhuang crystals contained pure xuanhuang Origin, making them the best Materials for repairing the sealing Formation.

Bai Yunzhou embedded the xuanhuang crystals into the damaged parts of the Formation while operating the Power of Chaos to guide the xuanhuang qi into the Formation.

The light of the Formation gradually lit up, and the damaged parts were slowly repairing.

But right at this moment, the voice of the demon god phantom sounded once again: "Human, do you think repairing the Formation can stop this seat? Too naive!"

A huge energy shockwave was emitted from the hands of the demon god phantom, piercing straight at the sealing Formation in an attempt to completely destroy it.

Bai Yunzhou's expression changed, and he hurriedly operated the Power of Chaos, condensing a thick Chaos barrier in front of the Formation.

Boom! The energy shockwave struck the Chaos barrier, causing it to vibrate violently and ripple outward as countless fine cracks appeared on its surface.

Bai Yunzhou was knocked back repeatedly by the shockwave, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. His aura withered, and the Chaos barrier also became precarious.

"Bai Yunzhou!" Zhou Zhiting's voice came as she had already healed her wounds and was flying toward Bai Yunzhou. "I'll help you!"

She leaped into the air, unleashing the Battle Blood Sacred Body to its full extent. Lightning surged wildly around the leihuang gauntlets as she threw a punch, sending countless bolts of lightning cascading down to bombard the energy shockwave, weakening its power.

The Chaos barrier finally stabilized and did not shatter completely.

Bai Yunzhou took a deep breath and cast a grateful look at Zhou Zhiting. "Thank you, Zhiting."

"We are companions, no need to thank me." Zhou Zhiting smiled slightly, walked over to Bai Yunzhou, and asked, "How is the Formation repair coming along?"

"There is only the last step left, but the demon god phantom won't give us the chance," Bai Yunzhou said, shaking his head. He could sense that the demon god phantom was gathering even stronger power, preparing to launch another attack.

Just then, Ling Shuang arrived leading the ice soul Sword Cultivators. "Bai Yunzhou, we're here to help you!"

Thirty-six Sword Cultivators attacked simultaneously, their icy blue sword lights interweaving into a net that transformed into a massive ice soul shield, blocking the front of the sealing Formation to withstand the attack of the demon god phantom.

True Monarch Tianxing and Sword Sovereign Hanbing also shook off the entanglement of True Monarch Xuehun and the others, arriving at the leylines core. "Yunzhou, hold on! We'll keep the demon god phantom in check!"

Both unleashed their Soul Transformation Divine Might simultaneously, slashing out with the xuanhuang sword and ice soul sword together. Golden and icy blue sword lights intertwined, piercing straight for the vital points of the demon god phantom.

True Monarch Xuehun, Ghost King Jiuyou, and Patriarch Fentian also arrived shortly after. Seeing that the traitor had been dealt with and the sealing Formation was being repaired, a ferocious glint flashed in their eyes. "We can't let them repair the Formation! Attack together and destroy the Formation!"

The three Soul Transformation experts struck simultaneously, weaving together blood fiend power, Devilish Qi, and fire poison to form a massive energy attack that pierced straight toward the sealing Formation.

Bai Yunzhou's expression shifted slightly. He hadn't expected True Monarch Xuehun and the others to suddenly join forces to attack the Formation. Since the Formation wasn't fully repaired yet, it was completely incapable of withstanding such a powerful attack.

"Everyone, defend with all your might!" At Bai Yunzhou's command, the Power of Chaos, power of ice soul, power of xuanhuang, and battle blood power erupted simultaneously, condensing into a multi-layered defense barrier in front of the Formation.

Boom! The energy attack of the demon god phantom and the attacks of True Monarch Xuehun and the others struck the defense barrier at the same time. The barrier vibrated violently, emitting a piercing, mournful shriek as countless cracks spread across it.

"Hold on!" Bai Yunzhou roared, burning his own essence blood. The Awakening degree of his Chaos Green Lotus Body instantly soared to 83%, and the Power of Chaos surged wildly as he reinforced the barrier with all his might.

Zhou Zhiting, Ling Shuang, True Monarch Tianxing, and Sword Sovereign Hanbing also burned their essence blood simultaneously to boost their combat prowess and reinforce the barrier.

The light of the defense barrier lit up once more, barely blocking the attack, but everyone was knocked back repeatedly by the shockwave, blood spilling from their mouths as their auras withered to the extreme.

Although the sealing Formation was not completely destroyed, the repair process was interrupted once again, and the damage to the Formation became even more severe. The light of the blood-red runes grew more dazzling, and the aura of the demon god phantom became even denser.

"Hahaha! Bai Yunzhou, you have all done your best, but you still can't stop this seat!" The demon god phantom laughed wildly, its massive hand once again gathering energy in preparation for a final attack. "This time, this seat will completely destroy the Formation and shatter the Seal!"

Bai Yunzhou looked at the demon god phantom about to launch its attack, and then glanced at his companions with their withered auras beside him, a trace of despair flashing through his heart.

Could the Holy Land really be destroyed?

Could the Northern Territory truly be reduced to the territory of the demon god?

Right at this moment, a grey-and-white intermingled ray of light suddenly flew from the horizon, piercing straight toward the glabella of the demon god phantom with lightning speed.

"Who?!" The expression of the demon god phantom shifted drastically, and it hurriedly condensed a defense barrier to block the ray of light.

As the light dissipated, a figure appeared in the center of the battlefield—none other than Reincarnation Hall Saintess Yue Li!

Yue Li was wreathed in grey-and-white Reincarnation power, holding a reincarnation rune seal in her hand. She looked at the demon god phantom with a complex gaze. "Lord Demon God, the Reincarnation Hall cooperated with you to seize the demon god origin, not to let you destroy the Northern Territory."

"Yue Li? You dare betray this seat?" A flash of killing intent crossed the eyes of the demon god phantom. "Do you think that relying on just yourself, you can stop this seat?"

"I naturally cannot stop you alone, but someone else can." Yue Li smiled slightly and turned to look at Bai Yunzhou. "Bai Yunzhou, is our agreement still valid? Join hands to Seal the demon god, and the demon god origin belongs to me."

A trace of surprise flashed in Bai Yunzhou's eyes; he hadn't expected Yue Li to appear at this time and propose joining forces with him.

He knew that there was no other choice now. If he wanted to stop the demon god, he could only join forces with Yue Li.

"Alright!" Bai Yunzhou nodded. "We will join forces to Seal the demon god, and the demon god origin is yours!"

A hint of joy flashed in Yue Li's eyes as the reincarnation rune seal in her hand lit up and her Reincarnation power surged wildly. "Reincarnation Hall: Six Paths Seal!"

Countless Reincarnation runes flew out from the rune Seal, interweaving into a massive Reincarnation light curtain that enveloped the demon god phantom, attempting to Seal its power.

Bai Yunzhou also attacked at the same time. The Power of Chaos intertwined with the four elements' Law, transforming into a massive chaos green lotus that enveloped the demon god phantom, cooperating with the Reincarnation light curtain to suppress the demon god's power.

Seeing this, True Monarch Tianxing, Sword Sovereign Hanbing, and the others also made their moves. Various powers intertwined together to form a formidable sealing power, suppressing the demon god phantom and the blood-red runes of the leylines fissure.

The aura of the demon god phantom gradually withered. It roared and struggled frantically, yet it was ultimately unable to break free from the shackles of the sealing power.

The blood-red runes of the leylines fissure also grew dim, the xuanhuang Qi gradually returned to calm, and the tremors of the leylines slowly came to a halt.

Seeing this scene, everyone heaved a sigh of relief as a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes.

But Bai Yunzhou knew that this was only temporary; the power of the demon god phantom was far too formidable, and wanting to completely Seal it would still require paying a heavy price.

He looked at Yue Li. "Now, it is time to carry out the final Seal."

Yue Li nodded. "Alright! I will use the Reincarnation power as a guide, and you will use the Chaos Origin as the core to jointly launch the final Seal!"

Both of them simultaneously circulated their most powerful strength, intertwining the Reincarnation power and Chaos Origin to form a sealing power imbued with life, death, and Chaos, flying toward the demon god phantom and the leylines fissure.

Just as the sealing power was about to hit its target, a black figure suddenly rushed out from the leylines fissure—none other than the mysterious black figure that had fought Bai Yunzhou earlier!

"Stop them!" the black figure roared, slashing out with a massive demonic flame sword Qi from the black longsword in its hand, piercing straight at Bai Yunzhou and Yue Li.

Bai Yunzhou's expression shifted; he hadn't expected the black figure to still be alive, let alone launch an attack at this crucial moment.

He had no time to hesitate and could only split off a portion of the Power of Chaos to fend off the demonic flame sword Qi while continuing to push forward the sealing power.

Yue Li also struck simultaneously, sending a strand of Reincarnation power flying from the reincarnation rune seal to block the other part of the demonic flame sword Qi.

Boom! The demonic flame sword Qi was blocked, but the power of the sealing power was also weakened somewhat, failing to completely hit the demon god phantom and the leylines fissure.

"Damn it!" A fierce glint flashed in Bai Yunzhou's eyes as he turned to look at the black figure. "Today, I will surely slay you!"

He leaped into the air, fully erupting the Power of Chaos. The liefeng sword slashed out with a sword Qi imbued with the Chaos Origin, piercing straight for the vital points of the black figure.

The expression of the black figure shifted drastically; he hadn't expected Bai Yunzhou to still be able to erupt with such formidable power under these circumstances. He hurriedly circulated his Devilish Qi, condensing a defense barrier to block the attack of the sword Qi.

Clang! The sword Qi slashed against the barrier, shattering it instantly. The black figure was blasted flying backward, spewing out a large mouthful of black blood as his aura withered.

Pressing his advantage, Bai Yunzhou flickered his figure and instantly appeared before the black figure, thrusting the liefeng sword straight toward his glabella.

A trace of despair flashed in the eyes of the black figure. He knew that he could no longer withstand Bai Yunzhou's attack.

Right at this moment, the demon god phantom suddenly erupted with a powerful force, breaking free from part of the Seal. Its massive palm grabbed toward Bai Yunzhou, attempting to save the black figure's life.

"Bai Yunzhou, watch out!" Yue Li's voice came as she hurriedly circulated her Reincarnation power, entangling the arm of the demon god phantom to halt its attack.

Seizing the opportunity, Bai Yunzhou pierced through the glabella of the black figure with a single sword stroke. The black figure's body slowly collapsed, breathless and dead.

Having resolved the black figure, Bai Yunzhou looked at the demon god phantom once more, a flash of determination in his eyes. "Now, no one can stop us!"

He and Yue Li exerted force simultaneously, intertwining the Reincarnation power and Chaos Origin once more to form an even more formidable sealing power, which flew toward the demon god phantom and the leylines fissure.

This time, without any hindrance, the sealing power accurately struck its target.

Boom! An earth-shaking explosion rang out. The demon god phantom let out a miserable, shrill scream as its body gradually dissipated under the effect of the sealing power, and the leylines fissure was completely sealed off by the sealing power as the light of the blood-red runes was thoroughly extinguished.

The demon god had finally been sealed!

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, weary smiles blooming on their faces.

Bai Yunzhou looked at the sealed leylines fissure and also felt a wave of relief, but he knew this was only temporary. The threat of the demon god had not been completely eliminated; as long as the leylines fissure remained, there was still the possibility of it being breached once again.

He turned to look at Yue Li. "As agreed, the demon god origin is yours."

Yue Li nodded, and the reincarnation rune seal in her hand lit up. A strand of Reincarnation power flew into the leylines fissure, extracting a fist-sized black crystal—precisely the demon god origin.

She looked at the demon god origin in her hand, a complex flash in her eyes. "Thank you, Bai Yunzhou."

"No need to be polite, we are simply taking what we each need," Bai Yunzhou replied, shaking his head.

Yue Li smiled slightly, turned into a streak of grey-and-white light, and vanished into the horizon.

Watching Yue Li's receding figure, a trace of emotion flashed through Bai Yunzhou's heart. He never expected that in the end, it would be his former enemy who helped him.

True Monarch Tianxing, Sword Sovereign Hanbing, and the others walked over to Bai Yunzhou, approbation and smiles adorning their faces. "Yunzhou, you have performed an immortal achievement, saving the Holy Land and saving the Northern Territory!"

Bai Yunzhou shook his head. "This is not my solo achievement, but the result of everyone's joint efforts."

He looked at Zhou Zhiting, Ling Shuang, Song Xinghe, and Deng Mufeng by his side, gratitude flashing in his eyes. "Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to successfully Seal the demon god."

Zhou Zhiting smiled slightly. "Senior Brother, we are companions, so we ought to help one another."

Ling Shuang also nodded. "Protecting the Holy Land is the responsibility of all of us."

Song Xinghe and Deng Mufeng also revealed smiles. Having experienced this life-and-death decisive battle, the bonds between them had grown even deeper.

But Bai Yunzhou knew that the battle was not yet over; True Monarch Xuehun, Ghost King Jiuyou, and Patriarch Fentian had not yet been dealt with, and their threat still existed.

He looked in the direction of the battlefield, a chilling killing intent flashing in his eyes. "Now, it's time to clean up the remaining remnants of the Demon Sect!"
