Chapter 529 - 321: The Human Race Wins
But it was too late to say anything now. The Ancestor Dragon shone with a blazing golden light, its scales glistening like sharp blades, each containing the power to destroy the heavens and earth.
At the moment of transformation, it roared up at the sky, the sound shaking the universe, distorting the space wherever the sound waves reached.
The black energy orb emitted an eerie and terrifying aura, yet in the presence of the Ancestor Dragon’s might, it was like a fragile glass sphere.
The Ancestor Dragon opened its massive mouth, producing an immense suction force instantly, pulling the black energy orb as if by an invisible hand, swallowing it in the blink of an eye without leaving a trace.
"Impossible, it’s impossible."
The Nine Netherworld Snake’s eyes widened, its tongue flickering wildly, eyes filled with terror and disbelief.
It hadn’t expected the Ancestor Dragon’s power to be so overwhelmingly terrifying.
After effortlessly devouring the black energy orb, the Ancestor Dragon’s body moved deftly, like a golden lightning bolt, continuing to charge toward the Nine Netherworld Snake.
"No!"
In the brink of life and death, the Nine Netherworld Snake’s scales stood on end, unleashing a powerful will to survive. Its body trembled madly, gathering energy once more.
But alas, its bestial instincts couldn’t save it.
The Ancestor Dragon dashed through its body with an unstoppable momentum, and though the Nine Netherworld Snake tried to resist, its flesh was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of the Ancestor Dragon.
Under the Ancestor Dragon’s relentless assault, the vast body of the Nine Netherworld Snake collapsed like a sandcastle swept by a fierce wind.
Its scales fell with a rustle, bones fractured with crisp snaps, and blood sprayed like a fountain into the void, parts of its body rapidly disintegrating.
The Nine Netherworld Snake’s mind went blank, its hollow, expressionless eyes losing the ferocity and arrogance of before.
All it felt was unwillingness; the empire of the Demon Race was its lifelong pursuit, a grand blueprint built with countless efforts, now turning to dust with its demise.
Despite having stepped into the Immortal Realm, thinking it was invincible, reality proved to be brutally unforgiving.
"If I’m not the protagonist of this world, why was I given this power?"
Its final thoughts, like a weak wisp of smoke, drifted toward the dark abyss where ancient traces of the Immortal Beast reposed, harboring the secrets of the Eight Trigrams City, secrets it could no longer uncover. Its consciousness, like a dying candle in the wind, slowly extinguished.
Ultimately, the Nine Netherworld Snake disappeared from the world.
From then on, the Demon Race would no longer have the Nine Netherworld Demon King or Demon Emperor.
Meanwhile, the Spirit Dragon transformed into the Ancestor Dragon, piercing through its body, and lastly, soaring upwards, roaring angrily at the boundary of the sky.
As if to tell everyone, it had won this battle.
It had defeated the Nine Netherworld Snake and achieved the ultimate victory!
...
"We won!"
"We won!!!"
"We won!"
After a moment of silence, the Human Race, seeing the disappearance of the Nine Netherworld Snake, finally confirmed their victory.
Instantly, they cheered and rejoiced in excitement.
At this moment, many eyes were filled with tears. Since the chaos of the Demon Beasts, few in the world were not worried.
Many lost their loved ones, their friends, and their homes in this battle.
But now, finally, the clouds had parted to reveal the moon.
As for the Demon Race, at the moment the Nine Netherworld Snake was defeated, the quick-witted Demon Beasts had already fled.
There were also those among the Human Race who realized and pursued them.
For a moment, another battle erupted.
Lin Chen and the Great Elder, among others, smiled at each other after seeing Bai Ling win.
At the moment Bai Ling triumphed, they felt a sense of relief.
Bai Ling survived, so the Human Race could survive.
Lin Chen led the Great Elder and others flying towards Bai Ling, who looked pale at this moment, her Dragon Transformation Skill’s power depleted after unleashing the Ancestor Dragon form.
However, Bai Ling’s level was still lingering at that terrifying realm.
Upon seeing Lin Chen and others approaching, Bai Ling took a deep breath, smiled, and said to them, "I won."
"Yes, you won," Liu Gu replied happily as well.
The Great Elder looked towards the place the Nine Netherworld Snake vanished, saying, "If the Nine Netherworld Snake had succeeded, the world would indeed face a Demon Emperor, and it would be a living hell."
"Great Elder, it’s dead after all, can it come back to life?" Lin Chen said with a chuckle.
The Great Elder, however, cautiously remarked, "Now is not the time to relax. Let others handle the Demon Race. What’s urgent for us is to support Bai Ling and let her recover her strength."
"As long as she can regain her strength, the Demon Race will not dare to fight."
"Right."
Liu Gu nodded in agreement.
Currently, Bai Ling was the backbone of the Human Race.
However, upon hearing this, Bai Ling felt somewhat unaccustomed.
How long had it been since the days when she had to hide behind Lin Chen and others, and now she turned into the towering tree that sheltered them?
Thinking of this, Bai Ling felt a little joy...
She’s not obsessed with power.
It’s just that this feeling of being able to protect others is indeed wonderful.
....
In the distance, Gu An and his companions, witnessing the end of the battle, exchanged looks.
Finally, Gu Ning spoke up, "Now is when she is the weakest; it’s your only chance."
Gu An responded, disbelieving, "The Immortal Binding Skill has already been used. We can make her live or die as we wish. Can she possibly resist?"
Gu Ning coldly laughed and said:
"You just saw it too, the power of the Ancestor Dragon even crushed the Nine Netherworld Snake."
"If she were at her peak, nothing is assured."
"What of the Immortal Binding Skill? Can it truly bind the Ancestor Dragon?"
Hearing this, Gu An and Li Hai both swallowed hard.
What Gu Ning said wasn’t meant to scare them.
It was indeed a possibility.
Then, Li Hai spoke, "Rest assured, it is already being enacted."
Upon hearing this, Gu An smiled as well, saying, "To avoid showing any flaws, let’s go forward to congratulate her."
With that, the group flew forward. The Great Elder immediately blocked them upon seeing them arrive.
They understood well the style of Celestial Capital; with the Nine Netherworld Snake gone, the current Bai Ling became their top enemy.
If Bai Ling couldn’t be under their control, they might indeed do something as drastic as eliminating the hero.
Gu An and the others also understood the Great Elder’s thoughts, and Li Hai was the first to say, "We are here to congratulate Immortal Venerable Bai Ling on defeating the Nine Netherworld Snake, and thank the Immortal Venerable for saving the world!"
With that, he knelt on one knee.
Gu An quickly followed suit and knelt.
Gu Ning hesitated for a moment but eventually knelt on one knee as well.
At the same time, behind them, the Human Race, witnessing this scene and hearing the voice spread by Li Hai’s spiritual power, immediately knelt to the ground, shouting in unison:
"Thank the Immortal Venerable for saving the world!"
Seeing this, Bai Ling felt clueless and looked at Lin Chen for help.
The latter immediately whispered, "Just nod and say something."
"Uh, uh~~"
Bai Ling’s eyes sparkled with a slight glimmer as she prepared to stand, nod, and speak.
But just at that moment, she suddenly leaned forward, then spat out a mouthful of black blood, spraying into the sky!
