Chapter 597 The Battle Of The Celestials

Zhao Yu was about to respond, but she saw the demons approaching Lord Zhan again.

She didn't dare to distract him, so she could only send a message.

"Don't worry. I'll pass on your words."

After she finished speaking, she didn't dare to hesitate and turned around to escape from the encirclement.

The cultivators at the Human Immortal Realm and the Earth Immortal Realm, who had broken out of the encirclement, fled in all directions, making it impossible for the demons to pursue them.

After the Hall Masters, who led them out of the blockade, made sure they could escape, they returned to help the other trapped teams.

The trapped teams received the support of many Hall Masters, and the pressure on them was lifted.

However, as the number of demons decreased, their strength became more concentrated.

When there were only ten teams left trapped, even with the combined protection of the 32 Hall Masters, they gradually showed signs of decline.

"This won't do. If this continues, we'll all die here!"

"Let's split up and escape. The main force has already escaped, and the rest can only leave it to fate!"

The Hall Masters sent messages to each other while dealing with the demons.

"Hall Master Hong, let's retreat! We're no match for the demons when they gather their power!"

The remaining ten teams had close to a hundred people.

However, as the demons gathered their power, the encirclement gradually shrank.

The ten teams were trapped inside. It doesn't matter if they were scattered or concentrated. They could not break out from any direction.

Hall Master Hong's face was dark.

It wasn't that he didn't want to retreat, but the demons' main focus was on them, the Hall Masters of the Celestial Realm.

It was not realistic for all of them to escape. In the end, they would still have to sacrifice a few.

However, who among those present was willing to stay?

"There are too many demons. If we scatter, none of us will be able to escape."

"Someone has to stay behind to stall those demons."

Everyone fell into silence. They all understood this was the only way out.

The thirty-two Hall Masters looked at each other and hesitated.

"I'll stay. Even if I escape, I'll only be a cripple."

Lord Zhan looked around at the demons gradually gathering around him, his expression calm.

He had burned his life essence and entered an irreversible state. Even if he could survive, his cultivation would be depleted.

"Count me in. I've been cultivating my whole life for this moment. Even if I die, I want to die on the battlefield!"

A burly man followed closely behind, his eyes filled with battle intent.

The two men stepping forward made Hall Master Hong's expression change.

Once upon a time, he was also a man who did not fear death and was happy to settle grudges.

However, all these years of luxurious life had caused him to fear the demons, and the idea of running away appeared in his mind.

"Well said! How can cultivators of my generation be afraid of death? It's time for my treasured saber to drink blood!"

Hall Master Hong shouted as he clenched his blade.

The impassioned battle intent caused everyone's spirit to shake.

"I'll stay too!"

"And me!"

Following Hall Master Hong's statement, a dozen other Hall Masters also stood up.

Even the ten teams protected had many people raising their weapons and shouting that they would fight the demons to the death.

Hall Master Hong swept his gaze across the crowd.

Those who stepped forward had determined eyes and were burning with battle intent.

Those who didn't speak avoided eye contact.

Hall Master Hong didn't treat them coldly. Instead, he looked at the Hall Masters who didn't choose to stay and said, "We have enough people left to hold them back. You guys can take those little ones and run for your lives. The future of this world still needs you."

"Hall Master Hong..."

The remaining dozen or so Hall Masters lowered their heads in shame.

They also wanted to stay behind and fight to the death with the demons. However, after witnessing the scenes of the demons killing their own kind, a sense of fear emerged deep in their hearts.

No one could face death without emotions, especially the kind of death excruciatingly and brutally.

The courage of those who chose to stay was undoubtedly praiseworthy.

Those who didn't want to stay weren't shameful. They could only be considered normal.

"There's no need to say more. The world's future is in your hands," Hall Master Hong solemnly said to the remaining Hall Masters. He then turned to those willing to stay and raised his arms.

"Comrades, follow me and kill!"

"Kill!"

More than a dozen Hall Masters and some cultivators at the Earth Immortal Realm who were willing to stay roared and rushed toward the demons.

The shouts of dozens of people were like thousands of soldiers and horses.

The demons were fearless in the face of the Heavenly God Palace's menacing cultivators and roared and collided with them.

Over a hundred Immortal Realm experts clashed head-on, and the world trembled.

The mountains and rivers within a radius of several thousand miles had been destroyed by the battle, and their original forms could not be seen.

After a few clashes, even the mountains were turned into gravel.

The ground was overturned, and the mountains and rivers were razed to the ground.

"Hurry up! Rush out!"

The dozen or so Hall Masters behind led the remaining members of the ten teams and fled toward the gap without hesitation when they found the opportunity.

They couldn't waste the opportunity Hall Master Hong and the others fought so hard for.

However, the number of demons was too high.

Although the density wasn't too exaggerated, each was like a mountain of flesh. It covered an area of tens of thousands of miles.

The high-level demons were inside the encirclement.

The lowest cultivation base was at the Earth Immortal Realm.

The cultivation of the demons in the outer circle was relatively low. They had arrived later, but most had reached the Human Immortal Realm.

"A bunch of ants! Your resistance is just a death struggle."

A nine-headed demon tore a cultivator at the Earth Immortal Realm into pieces with a sneer in its eyes.

"Stop them! Don't let any escape!"

Another nine-headed demon growled as it gave an order to the demons on the outer perimeter.

Many people had escaped just now, and it had already made him mad.

The demons were rioting, and the pressure on the Heavenly God Palace's side increased.

Just as the group was about to break out of the encirclement, they were stopped by the demons.

"Damn it. Those guys can't be killed!"

A Hall Master in charge of leading the team to break out of the encirclement had a strenuous expression.

He had just cut off all of a demon's heads, but it had quickly regenerated them. Other than its strength being weakened, its vitality was almost not affected.

"I'll give you a hand!"

Just as the Hall Masters leading the group felt vexed, Lord Zhan appeared in front of them instantly.

While burning his life force, his combat strength was already comparable to an ordinary peak Celestial Realm expert.

"Yuan Splitting Slash!"

Lord Zhan shouted angrily, and the long blade in his hand cut through the sky.

A space crack tens of thousands of meters long suddenly appeared.

Any existence that came into contact with the cracks would be torn apart. Thereafter, they would be pulled into the primal chaos void without resistance.

Two demons in the Earth Immortal Realm were killed by the saber.

"Go!"

The veins on Lord Zhan's forehead bulged as he hurriedly shouted at the crowd.

"Go!"

The group of Hall Masters was shocked. They did not dare to dally and immediately called for everyone to rush out of the gap that had just been opened.

"You want to escape? It won't be that easy!"

The group of Hall Masters in charge of the breakthrough had already been targeted by the high-level demons.

In less than a few breaths of time, a nine-headed demon chased after Lord Zhan.

It blocked the gap, and its sharp claws went straight for Lord Zhan's face.

"Get lost!"

Lord Zhan yelled, and the long saber in his hand slashed out again.

However, this time, the demon's sharp claws had already caught him before he could swing his saber halfway.

"Weak fellow. You want to fight against me with your strength?"

Under the giant claw, Lord Zhan was caught without any resistance.

The powerful force almost made him unable to breathe. His eyes were filled with blood as if his eyeballs were about to burst.

"Old Zhan!"

Seeing Lord Zhan in trouble, the eyes of a Hall Master in charge of escaping turned red.

Previously, he feared the demons' terror and did not want to stay and die. However, the infection of the people around him and the cruelty of the demons had stimulated his nerves.

He no longer held back, and with his sword in hand, he charged toward the demon.

"You're looking for death!"

The nine-headed demon roared and clawed at the incoming man again.

The latter was already prepared, and he dodged the attack with a flash.

With a twist of his body, the man arrived at the place where Lord Zhan was trapped by the demon's claws.

He waved his long sword, and sword Qi struck the joints of the nine-headed demon like lightning.

The nine-headed demon immediately released its sharp claws in pain.

Although Lord Zhan was able to escape, he was already gravely injured.

He had burned too much of his life force and was now weakened.

"Don't worry about me. Take everyone and escape now!"
