Chapter 878: Fried Chu Liang
A gust of wind swept across the battlefield for a while.
The ruins of the Celestial Northern Prison, the destroyed valley, and the panic-stricken capital of Yu all sank into a long silence.
The reborn Demon God departed with the demon kings in tow, followed by Daoist Cangsheng. No one dared to stop them. Even without a vessel, the Demon God’s life essence had been terrifying. Now that it had taken Tuntun as its vessel, there was no doubt it had become even more formidable. After all, Tuntun might look strange for a Heaven-Devouring Bug, but a strange Heaven-Devouring Bug was still a Heaven-Devouring Bug.
The pessimists were already thinking about the past calamity that the Demon God had brought on during his reign. However, this time, the mortal world did not have the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda. Without it, restraining the Demon God would be a very difficult feat for the immortal sects and their legendary artifacts. That much was clear from the battle that had occurred earlier.
Chu Liang, however, remained fairly optimistic. He could sense that Tuntun was the Demon God, and the Demon God was Tuntun. Ultimately, that meant Tuntun was still Tuntun.
He believed she wouldn’t cause another calamity like the original Demon God. As someone who loved eating fried food, how could she possibly want to destroy the world?
It was likely that she had fled because there had been too many human cultivators present. The chaotic mix of auras had probably made her feel anxious, whereas she was more familiar and comfortable with the auras of the demons.
Nevertheless, Chu Liang chose not to reveal all that, since there were so many people around. He planned to first return to Mount Shu and discuss the matter with Venerable Wen Yuan and Baize before deciding what to do. The current situation remained uncertain, and he was already under suspicion of colluding with the demons of the Far West. It was best not to say anything in public that might provoke further controversy.
Of course, most of the people there already believed the Demon God’s resurrection was a done deal, but the more discerning individuals would find it odd. If reviving the Demon God were truly so easy, why had the demons of the Far West initially tried to kill Tuntun instead of letting the Demon God’s life essence possess her straight away?
It didn’t really matter in terms of the battle because it hadn’t prevented the Demon God from falling into the trap that the immortal sects had set within the Celestial Cosmic Ring, but... there had to be a reason why the demons from the Far West had done all that.
Regardless, the grand battle had finally come to an end.
