Chapter 536: Final Battle
The Phoenix Patriarch glared back at Tianyi. His gaze seemed capable of igniting anything he looked at on fire. “Then start. Who’s afraid of who?”
Although his words were harsh, his body was honest. He did not show any initiative to attack again and prepared to defend himself. In addition, the other demon emperors were messaging him with their demon senses, telling him to not aggravate the situation.
In fact, the qingluan was the Phoenix Clan’s most prized descendant, the one with the highest chance of reaching the Demon Emperor Realm. His death would cause the Phoenix Clan’s future strength to fall to the bottom amongst the three clans once the war ended. The Qilin Clan had the Qilin Patriarch, who became a demon sovereign, and the Dragon Clan was always full of talent.
And he wasn’t that confident in facing Tianyi alone, either. When Tianyi locked onto him, he felt the shadow of death hanging over him. He knew Tianyi was powerful, but the ones that faced him before were the Four Divine Beasts. Just his gaze alone clued the Phoenix Patriarch of Tianyi’s power.
Tianyi was also receiving many messages from his allies, all persuading him to not start the final battle. He snorted and waved his hand. Daoyi and the qingluan’s corpse disappeared from the battlefield. Although the Phoenix Patriach was angry, he did not dare to take action again.
So, the void between the demon and the humans returned to calm, but it was a false calm. A bizarre mood filled it. Neither side took the initiative to take the stage.
The humans were wary of the demons using underhanded tactics again, but the demon clans also worried that the humans would launch a surprise attack. Once someone took the initiative to break the rules, neither side would trust the other again so easily.
Finally, a monarch from the Numinous Sword Sect stepped forward.
Neither side wanted to stop the duels. The humans saw it as a valuable way to grind away at the Demon Clan’s number and raise their morale. Although the humans lost true immortals and might even lose a monarch, they gained more than they lost. The longer it went on, the more advantageous it would be for them. In contrast, the Demon Clan wanted to restore morale and starting a battle now would put them at a greater disadvantage than when the two sides first appeared.
