The Demon God struggled incessantly, its body wreathed in demon flames reaching the sky, yet it seemed tightly bound by an invisible giant hand, and as the strength of that invisible hand continued to increase, the body of the Demon God, measuring over two hundred meters, swiftly deformed and collapsed.
Finally, when the endurance capacity of the Demon God’s body reached a critical point, the entire Demon God’s body completely collapsed.
Controlling this Demon God Body, the Spirit Venerable also transformed into Spirit Light, drawn back to the Eternal Life Tower.
Upon vanquishing this Demon God, the being known as the Immortal Master, a Heavenly Immortal, suddenly asked, "Lan Ze, there are less than twenty active Demon Gods left on the Blood Pool Demon Abyss Battlefield, right?"
Known as Lan Ze, a powerful Top True Immortal respectfully responded to the question posed by the Eastern Heaven Immortal Lord, "This morning, Beidou Immortal Lord ambushed the Iron Wall Demon God, destroying its body. Together with the Demon God you vanquished, Master, the number of active Demon Gods in the Blood Pool Demon Abyss has now dwindled to nineteen."
"Now there are only nineteen Demon Gods left, and on our side, we alone have thirty True Immortals. Including those at the True Immortal Level, there are forty-six, double that of the Demon Gods."
Eastern Heaven Immortal Lord pondered, "The Devils have deeply infiltrated our Human Clan’s side. They can’t possibly be ignorant about our nurturing of the Heavenly Dao. Next, they will either continue to send reinforcements toward the Blood Pool Demon Abyss, seizing it before the Heavenly Dao is fully nurtured and expanding it enough to accommodate the arrival of Dominator Level Demon Spirits, or... they will have to retreat, admit their defeat, and certainly not persist in this battlefield knowing they’re doomed to failure."
With this, he paused slightly, "Unless they are undertaking something more crucial and therefore need the Blood Pool Demon Abyss Battlefield to divert our attention."
"Something more crucial?"
Lan Ze was slightly startled, "But Demon Lord Cangming has always been near the outskirts of the Blood Pool Demon Abyss. When we attacked the Demon Realm three days ago, we still sensed from afar the suffocating pressure of Demon Lord Cangming’s demon flames... "
"I do believe that Demon Lord Cangming still focuses on the Blood Pool Demon Abyss Battlefield. However, remember, the Demon Realm has more than one Demon Lord,"
declared the Infinite Immortal Master.
"Wasn’t it said that the Five Directions Demon Lords were just inflated terms used by the Demon Realm to psychically pressure the major forces of our Human Clan?"
Lan Ze’s pupils narrowed, "Are there really Five Directions Demon Lords?"
"Actually, we are also not certain, but there must be more than two Demon Lords. A thousand years ago, a creator had encountered a terrifying entity in the Demon Realm called the Black Flame Demon Lord! Yet since the war between us and them began, we have not detected the whereabouts of this Demon Lord."
Eastern Heaven Infinite Lord said and added firmly, "I will suggest to Immortal Master Zhao Xi to reduce our investments in the Blood Pool Demon Abyss Battlefield. All True Immortals and Void Immortals should head in all directions, to search for possible Devil gathering areas, to confirm whether there are other Demon Abysses..."
Immortal Lan Ze was somewhat reluctant, "We could soon achieve final victory on the Blood Pool Demon Abyss Battlefield. Isn’t it counterproductive to dispatch everyone to search out Devil gathering grounds at this time? Why not make a decisive push to thoroughly defeat the Demon Gods of the Blood Moat Demon Abyss, seal the Demon Abyss, and then shift our focus to other areas...?"
"Given the tenacity of the Devils, it will take at least three months to completely defeat them, and at least a year or two to seal the Blood Pool Demon Abyss. I’m afraid the enemy will not grant us that time,"
said Eastern Heaven Infinite Lord, giving him a look, "You all go prepare. A few of us Heavenly Immortals here are enough for the Blood Pool Demon Abyss."
Seeing that his master was resolute, Immortal Lan Ze had no choice but to comply.
Meanwhile, as the Heavenly Immortals on the Blood Pool Demon Abyss Battlefield were suspecting that the Devils might have opened a second battlefield, Gu Jinlai appeared in a valley shrouded by a Formation within the Chen Domain.
According to the memory of the Aries Star Lord, he had left quite a few things to facilitate a potential resurgence should anything untoward happen to him.
The most important of these was hidden in this valley.
