If one insisted that the Heavenly Shielding Great Emperor's strength was comparable to a Heavenly Dao Saint, then the Zhu Yan Demon God would surely kill him.
Life and death hung by a thread.
This demon soldier had thought a great deal.
Perhaps, by momentarily agreeing with the Zhu Yan Demon God's wishes and continuing to speak, he could save his life.
But this was not in line with the truth, the real facts.
Truth was immutable, unchangeable.
Following the demon god's will, though it might save his life, the fact that the human race cultivated the Heaven-Shielding Method would not change due to the demon god's disparagement or contempt.
Miscalculating the human race's strength would lead to the demise of the entire Demon Court.
This was the price to pay for choosing to preserve one's own life.
Between choosing to live in obscurity and preserve his life, or to uphold the truth and use his death to awaken the higher echelons of the Demon Court to the vigilance required against the Heaven-Shielding Method, which should he choose?
Between life and truth, this demon soldier finally made his choice.
He chose the latter.
He spoke again, "Demon God, I know the answer."
"The Heavenly Shielding Great Emperor possesses the strength of a Heavenly Dao Saint, capable of annihilating the Demon Court's Twin Emperors and Ten Great Demon Sages with but a flick of his wrist."
"His Imperial Might is the might of a Saint!"
He already possessed the spirit of a martyr.
The Zhu Yan Demon God stared at him coldly and shook his head.
"I gave you a chance, and you still don't understand how to use it."
"Idiot."
"Guards! This demon soldier is spouting nonsense, fabricating lies, and deliberately creating a deception to confuse our army's morale."
"To confuse our army's morale and shake the soldiers' fighting spirit is a crime deserving of death. Execute him on the spot, shatter his primordial spirit and body, and carry out the order immediately!"
Several personal guards dragged the demon soldier away. His fate was self-evident.
After this incident, the three demon gods had no inclination to pursue the one hundred and ten races that had defected.
In their view, even with only one-third of their forces remaining, fifty races, with the three of them, Great Luo Golden Immortals, holding the line, the slaughter of the human race could still be perfectly accomplished.
The mission was now extremely urgent.
First, they would deal with the human race and the matter of the Slaughter Witch Sword.
Once the finished product was made, they would deal with the matter of the one hundred and ten races defecting from the Demon Court upon their return.
"Hear my command..."
"The entire army advances!"
Under the command of the three demon gods.
Fifty races affiliated with the Demon Court, three hundred million demon soldiers, marched out in full force.
Their target: the ancestral land of the human race.
...
At the same time, in the ancestral land of the human race.
Suirenshi stood on the grand platform, gazing at the human soldiers lined up below.
The number of human soldiers here reached trillions. Each soldier held a superior immortal weapon and wore immortal armor.
Although the quality was not as good as acquired spirit treasures, there were tens of trillions of sets, with everyone equipped. In terms of quality, these armaments and treasures surpassed the equipment of all legion soldiers in the Primordial World.
This was the result of ten thousand years of effort by the Human Emperor Fang Ming, who had collected superior artifact refining methods from all the myriad worlds and bestowed them upon the human race!
In ten thousand years, they had refined tens of trillions of immortal weapons and armor, sufficient to be called immortal artifacts in the Primordial World!
Suirenshi understood this principle very well. He took a deep breath and said to the soldiers below:
"Soldiers!"
"Today I have gathered you all to announce one thing!"
"The day for our human race to take revenge on the demon race has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, almost all the human soldiers were filled with excitement, and many showed eyes filled with hatred.
Except for the humans born in the last ten thousand years, who, due to the human race's current strength, had not directly suffered the slaughter of the myriad races of the Demon Court.
All the remaining humans knew what kind of oppression the human race had endured from the myriad races of the Demon Court in the days before the Human Emperor Calendar, ten thousand years ago.
The myriad races of the Demon Court did not allow the human race to become strong, wishing only for the human race to forever be the blood food of the myriad races.
Through their powerful reproduction, they would supply sufficient blood food for the myriad races of the Demon Court, and then, by chance, select fortunate individuals to preserve the lineage, so that humans could reproduce again in the future.
The myriad races of the Demon Court would not permit the human race to develop.
They treated the entire human race as a pasture to be herded, and when the population reached a sufficient number, they would descend directly to harvest.
How many human geniuses, prodigies, and ordinary people were directly slaughtered by them?
If these geniuses, prodigies, and ordinary people still existed,
If they had not been slaughtered by the demon race.
One could imagine how much the strength of the human race would have increased.
Ten thousand years ago, before the Human Emperor took office, the strength of the human race might already have been formidable, with possibly over a hundred Taiyi Golden Immortals, and perhaps even Great Luo Venerables appearing.
A human race with such strength would not have been casually treated as blood food by the myriad races of the Demon Court, and they would have been feared, not dared to act recklessly.
Unfortunately, the myriad races of the Demon Court would not allow the human race to possess an equal status to them.
They periodically harvested the human race, constantly diminishing its strength, and shattering its hope for development.
They isolated techniques such as alchemy, artifact refining, and formations, and did not allow technical knowledge to flow to the human race.
Even more ruthlessly, the great divine-powered beings, the demon gods and demon sages of the Demon Court, used heavenly secrets divination to calculate the future, severing all possibilities of human resistance, completely sealing the fate of the human race, and condemning them to be blood food forever.
All the human soldiers present knew that if the Human Emperor had not been there, if the Human Emperor had not passed down the Heaven-Shielding Method,
Then their human race would have faced endless despair against the Demon Court.
Although the human race's strength had now surpassed the Demon Court, allowing the human race to actively wage war against it,
Most of the human soldiers had not forgotten how the Demon Court and the demon race had oppressed the human race during the millions of years from the birth of the human race until ten thousand years ago.
Their hatred had not only not diminished but had grown stronger in their hearts.
Now that they had the capability to counterattack the Demon Court, all the human soldiers were extremely agitated, wishing they could immediately charge into the Demon Court.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
All the human warriors shouted their voices.
At this moment, Suirenshi also received intelligence about the invasion by the demon race.
"Three Great Luo Demon Gods, fifty races, three hundred million demon soldiers?"
"The Demon Court dared to send only this force to slaughter the human race. Their contempt for the human race is already ingrained in their bones."
Suirenshi knew that even at this moment of powerful development for the human race, the high-ranking officials of the Demon Court still viewed the human race with their old perspective.
Therefore, the myriad races of the Demon Court only dispatched fifty races and three hundred million demon soldiers.
The human soldiers before Suirenshi's eyes were already the assembled soldiers from all human cities, numbering in the tens of trillions.
The number of three hundred million demon soldiers was less than one ten-thousandth of the human soldiers.
With this level of troop strength, even without the intervention of the human race's Great Luo powerhouses or quasi-saint powerhouses, the sheer might of the legions would be enough to crush the three Great Luo beings and all the demons they brought with them!
