Chapter 149: Unite to Suppress the Demons

"Amitabha... It's not that this humble monk is hiding anything. It's just that with Buddha in my heart, my path is unimpeded."

"Hmph, then I'd like to see if the Buddha in your heart today can truly save you from this sea of suffering!"

The Twelve Demon Elites attacked relentlessly, their battle against Xu Yang's support group raging intensely.

With the addition of Ling Yao's trio and Huixin, Aeliana gradually regained a stronger combat state. Five against twelve, they not only held their own but grew fiercer with every blow!

"Bastard! It seems you were prepared. I underestimated you!"

Gildart finally understood after seeing Huixin and the others' actions; he had never truly been in control of the situation from the very beginning.

Xu Yang chuckled lightly. "Your obsession is too strong. The power of the Demon Heart in your hands would surely cause a catastrophe. Today, you must walk the path of salvation!"

With that, Xu Yang raised a hand, and a powerful ice-blue aura was released as the Sword of Eternity was summoned once more!

"Heavens! Master... he actually acquired such a divine artifact!"

Ling Qingshu looked over, utterly astonished.

"The Sword of Eternity... the most supreme inheritance of the Demon Race. It seems Master and Empress Aeliana have formed an unbreakable bond!"

Bai Lianxue appeared calm. Although her heart was completely filled with only Xu Yang, she never wished to possess him solely. To have this man journey for her for twenty thousand years, Bai Lianxue was already content.

On the contrary, the three women felt no jealousy. Seeing Xu Yang grow stronger through his bond with the Demon Empress, they felt heartfelt gratification.

Boom!!

As the Sword of Eternity appeared, the endless demonic flames around Purgatory Peak instantly vanished. The powerful sword aura, combined with Xu Yang's peak mastery of the sword dao, unleashed a terrifying deterrent force that shocked all demons.

"Take this!"

Xu Yang struck powerfully, with a single sword aiming for Gildart's head.

Even a powerful Demon prodigy like Gildart did not dare to foolishly confront Xu Yang's Eternal Sword energy head-on and quickly dodged to the side.

Boom!!

A deafening roar erupted. With just one sword strike from Xu Yang, he nearly cleaved a fissure through the entire mountain.

"Boss, this isn't working. These people are too strong. We must combine the strength of all thirteen of us to suppress them!"

Jessica grew more panicked with each passing moment of the fight. What was even more tragic was that she, who was already weak in close combat, was specifically targeted by Ling Yao, who also possessed formidable sword mastery. After a divine barrage of slashes, Jessica couldn't even summon a single flower and was truly beaten into a desperate, head-covering retreat.

As for the other Twelve Demon Elites, they were also perfectly suppressed by this temporary combat team. If this continued, Gildart's faction would truly face defeat...

"Form the array!"

Finally, Gildart hesitated no longer. With a single call, he was the first to soar into the sky, followed by the Twelve Demon Elites, who successively flew towards the heavens. Against the backdrop of the dark sky, the twelve simultaneously circled Gildart's body in the center, activating the same demonic cultivation technique.

Rumble!!

The true supreme demonic array drew upon all the demonic energy between heaven and earth to enhance all their own attributes, achieving mastery over a domain!

"Heavens... This demonic power is truly too strong!"

Bai Lianxue murmured in shock.

Ling Yao and the others nearby also wore bewildered expressions, unsure how to respond.

"Yang, let's give it a try!"

Aeliana suddenly spoke, interacting with Xu Yang from afar, and immediately received Xu Yang's response.

And so, to the astonishment of Huixin and the others, Xu Yang and Aeliana simultaneously soared into the sky. The Sword of Eternity and Frost Scar's Wrath intertwined into a cross shape, releasing a powerful light that illuminated the entire void!

"Oh my heavens!! Is this... is this the manifestation of the combined peak powers of humans and demons?"

Ling Qingshu was utterly stunned.

Tianlan Sect was, after all, a major cultivation lineage. Yet, Ling Qingshu, having been in the cultivation world for so long, had never before witnessed anything purer or more awe-inspiring than this power!

Two swords, two people, two souls, as if poised to uplift the entire world!

"Aargh!!"

Aeliana roared to the sky, and the power of the Demon Heart began to truly manifest!

The power of the two intertwined divine swords truly entered a phase of perfect fusion and erupted with an unparalleled, vast aura!

"Let us help too!"

Bai Lianxue felt a stirring in her heart and began to attempt to connect with the aura of the Golden Light Clay Bodhisattva within her. In the past few days, while trapped in the mechanism-filled secret chamber of Linghan Temple, the girl had done nothing but continuously cultivate the Buddhist dharma taught to her by Huixin.

Although Bai Lianxue had not yet awakened her Buddha Heart, she had already embarked on the most correct path of exploration.

As for Ling Yao beside her, she was also repeatedly attempting to use her peak sword dao realm to knock upon the door of her Sword Heart.

Soon, as Aeliana's Demonic Heart power enveloped every member of the team, both Bai Lianxue and Ling Yao experienced an extremely powerful soul resonance with it!

It seemed Aeliana's Demonic Heart became the guide for the two of them in unlocking their bonded path, illuminating the way forward for them!

Finally, a ray of light simultaneously emanated from the brows of both Bai Lianxue and Ling Yao, merging into the brilliant glow of Xu Yang's and Aeliana's two swords, pushing this ultimate power to a new peak.

Seeing this scene, Huixin's gaze was calm, as if he had seen the true light he had long pursued.

"Master, I believe I've seen the most dazzling light in this world. Perhaps this is the light you've pursued your entire life! Only the most ardent bonds can unleash true power that transcends realms and surpasses everything!"

Rumble!!

The two divine swords vibrated intensely, humming, as if the power had reached its limit.

At the same time, Gildart and his thirteen companions had also completed the condensation of the Heaven-Defying Demonic Array's power.

"Hahaha! I've finally waited for this day. Aeliana, let heaven decide who among us falls!!"

Gildart shouted, looking utterly insane. This was the expectation he had suppressed for countless years in his heart; success or failure, all would be revealed in the next instant!

Rumble!!

In an instant, the eternal dark night over the Underworld Sea was brilliantly lit up. Light finally adorned this eternal demonic land, dispelling the bewildering darkness.

All demonic source power had been perfectly dispelled by the ultimate strike unleashed by Xu Yang's team.

Every one of the Twelve Demon Elites transformed into nothingness the moment the array's power collapsed...

Only Gildart, as a loser, finally fell lightly onto the ground of Purgatory Peak.

He had completely become a cripple, no longer able to use any demonic power, only staring blankly at the sky.

"Why... Father, was I truly wrong? Am I unworthy of possessing the Demon Heart? Was unifying the Demon Race not always your wish? Why did you abandon me that time...?"

Gildart would never find the answer to this question, because he was truly exhausted...
