Chapter 2279 Persuading a Half-Step Demon Lord to Submit
boom!
Another dazzling beam of light slammed into the Star Bird Flying Boat, the violent force causing it to tumble and roll continuously within the Nine Heavens Gale Layer.
The Demon God Palace, held in the claws of the Star Bird Flying Boat, tumbled continuously, with the demons inside crashing against the palace walls and screaming in agony.
Inside the Starbird Flying Boat, the Sky-Supporting Demon King hurriedly exerted all his strength to control the flying boat and continue flying towards the starry sky. In the blink of an eye, it broke through the Nine Heavens Gale Layer and reappeared in the starry sky.
"What a pity." Wen Sheng sighed in his heart as he watched the Star Bird Flying Boat break through the Nine Heavens Gale Layer. There was no way to continue attacking the Star Bird Flying Boat.
The movements of the Star Bird Flying Boat were naturally observed by the Xuanhuang Dao Master and the other humans and demons who were engaged in fierce battle in the starry sky.
A group of besieged demon kings saw the starbird flying boat appear in the starry sky and hurriedly shouted for help.
"Sky-Piercing Demon King, please save us!"
"We are all demons, don't abandon us!"
"Sky-Piercing Demon King, if you rescue us, the Flood Dragon Clan will surely reward you handsomely!"
"If we join forces, we'll definitely have a chance to escape!"
……
Their voices echoed through the starry sky, and the Demon King in the starbird flying boat naturally heard them clearly, as did the core demon race in the Demon God Palace below the flying boat.
"What's going on? It sounds like our dragon clan's demon king is calling for help!"
"No way? Who else could threaten them?"
……
The Demon King inside the Demon God Palace looked out over the palace toward the starry sky and saw the battlefield in the sky, where top demon warriors were surrounded by a group of human warriors.
"This……"
"I see!"
"Where did these powerful human warriors come from?"
……
While these demon kings were puzzled, the Sky-Supporting Demon King completely ignored their cries for help and directly activated the Star Bird Flying Boat at full speed.
A burst of silver light erupted from the Starbird Flying Boat, accompanied by a powerful fluctuation of spatial energy. The next moment, the Starbird Flying Boat burst into dazzling silver light, then gradually became blurred, before stretching out into a long, blurry shadow that streaked across the void at incredible speed, shooting off into the distance.
This flying boat was hundreds of times faster than a half-step demon lord, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a streak of silver light that disappeared into the distance.
"No! Damn Skybreaker!"
"It's over! It's completely over!"
"How could this happen? Why did it turn out like this?"
"What to do? What should we do?"
……
As the Starbird Flying Boat shot off into the distance, the Demon King, who was trapped beneath it, fell into utter despair. Surrounded by dozens of powerful top human experts, they had lost any chance of escaping.
It's only a matter of time before it falls into the hands of these humans.
This battle in the starry sky has lasted for thirteen days. Countless cultivators on the Myriad Spirits Continent have witnessed the scene of the human race's top experts defeating the demon race with fewer troops and absolutely crushing them.
They witnessed the annihilation of a demon king at the half-step demon lord realm, the demon race using demonic energy to prolong their lives, and a group of top demon kings abandoning the rest of the demon kings and fleeing.
Seeing that forty-one top demon kings were surrounded by top human experts and had no chance of escape, becoming sitting ducks, countless cultivators cheered excitedly.
"We won! We've won!"
"Hahaha, after all these years, we're finally going to defeat the demon race!"
"Currently, the strength of our human race's top experts at the same level has far surpassed that of the demon race. I hope we can also reach that level!"
"Although some top-tier demons escaped, the results this time are still quite good!"
"This is just the beginning of our counterattack; our counterattack against the demon race will continue."
"I wonder what will happen next!"
……
Countless cultivators watched the live broadcast with excitement, and the battle on the Wanling Continent's defenses came to a halt due to the evacuation of a large number of core demon race members.
The forty-one top demon kings certainly wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die; they decided to put up a last-ditch resistance.
However, as time went by, their demonic power dwindled, their injuries multiplied, and their aura weakened until they were on the verge of losing all power to resist.
"Surrender and I'll spare your lives!" Just then, the Xuanhuang Dao Master suddenly shouted at the forty-one demon kings, urging them to surrender.
"Hmph, do you think we'd believe you?" the patriarch of the Golden Dragon Clan sneered.
"If you reveal all the information you know about the demon race, we can swear to spare your lives." The Xuanhuang Dao Master looked at this group of top demon kings.
"We humans have a saying: it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. As long as you're alive, there's still hope. Once you die, you lose everything."
Are you willing to perish like this?
"Think about how much time, energy, and suffering you spent cultivating to the level of a half-step demon lord?"
"Think about it again. You still have a long lifespan. Do you really intend to give up your lives like this?"
"Think carefully about your demon race's attitude towards our human race. Don't you hope that one day the demon army will come and rescue you?"
"As long as you live, there is hope that you will be rescued by the demon army. If it were me, I would definitely live well for this sliver of hope."
……
Following Sun Yi's advice, the Xuanhuang Dao Master began to persuade them. Sure enough, the group of surrounded demon kings were moved. It was not easy to cultivate to the half-step demon lord level, and of course they also wanted to live.
However, they still had some doubts that the human race would keep its promise.
“Our race and your human race are mortal enemies. We do not believe your promises unless Wen Sheng swears an oath.”
"As long as you are willing to reveal all the information you know about the demon race to us and cooperate with us in controlling the demon race of the Eight Extremes Star, we can ask Senior Wensheng to vouch for you."
Let us think about it.
"No problem." Master Xuanhuang nodded.
The Golden Flood Dragon King quickly began discussing with the other demon kings: "What do you think? Should we surrender?"
"Alas, do we have any other choice? Surrender or die!"
“That’s right. At this point, we have no choice. As long as Wensheng can swear to save our lives, we may still have a chance to escape in the future.”
“That makes sense. That bastard Qingtian will definitely not let the humans of Eight Extremes Star go easily. He will definitely lead a large army back to kill us in the future. As long as we are alive, we will have a chance to escape.”
"Then let's surrender. Although the development of the human race on the Eight Extremes Star has exceeded our expectations, the resources of the Eight Extremes Star alone cannot cultivate too many top experts. In the end, our demon race will surely be victorious."
"Since everyone agrees, let's do it this way."
After a brief discussion, the demon kings decided to surrender, and they all withdrew their demonic power. The human cultivators around them also stopped attacking.
