Chapter 1524: Human-Spirit Jade Emperor Formation

"That makes no sense. Both sides came to this Reincarnation Well to meet with a certain degree of sincerity, so why would they suddenly attack the lower-level demons in the abyss at such a critical moment?"

Xiaohua seemed to realize something. She suddenly looked up at the zenith, where the blood moon, which had previously only shown a faint red outline, was now, inexplicably, one-fifth filled with a blood-red color.

The speed at which the blood moon fills depends on the intensity of resentment held by all demons. At this critical moment, the rampant slaughter of lower-level demons by the young cultivators of the Six Human Lineages was undoubtedly the primary cause accelerating the blood moon's formation.

Their actions had already shattered Xu Yang's hopes for peace talks. Everyone was extremely enraged by this sudden turn of events, but just as they were preparing to take countermeasures, several terrifying auras suddenly emerged from the Reincarnation Well between the two realms.

Immediately after, one powerful, heaven-penetrating aura after another appeared out of thin air. Like brilliant pillars of light suddenly rising from the ground and connecting to the horizon, six such pillars, without any warning, encircled Xu Yang's team.

Each light pillar emitted a distinct aura of the sacred Human-Spirit Dao inheritance, unmistakably representing the manifestation of the most potent cultivation techniques of their respective Six Human-Spirit Royal Lineages.

"This is the Human-Spirit Jade Emperor Grand Formation!"

Xiao Xiang instantly turned pale. As a disciple of the Six Human-Spirit Lineages, he naturally understood the implications of this formation's appearance. It clearly contained the combined power of the chief elders from all Six Royal Lineages, sealed within.

Furthermore, this formation possessed an exceptionally potent power-restricting ability. Once caught within it, the top-tier demon experts under Xu Yang would find it incredibly difficult to unleash their peak strength.

Just as the chief elders of the Six Lineages had anticipated, the battle had, from its very outset, shifted to their advantage. Before long, within the six sky-piercing light pillars, the complete silhouettes of the six chief elders, representing the six great royal families, began to emerge one by one.

Each individual adopted a lofty, superior posture, suspended in the center of their respective light pillars, looking more like gods gazing down upon ants. There was not the slightest hint of an attitude conducive to fair peace talks.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Demon Saint Qitian, known for his fiery temper, was the first to lose control. With a sinister expression, he revealed a desire for slaughter, his blood-red eyes sweeping over the six haughty human experts hovering above.

"Heh heh, what do we mean? Naturally, we've prepared for war to suppress you, ant-like demons. Don't forget, countless years ago, your souls were forcibly offered up and bound to the bodies of demon beasts.

Every demon present here today is a sinner from humanity's past; you are utterly unqualified to stand at the same height and level as us, the chief elders of the Six Lineages. As long as the Kunlun Dao heritage endures, you will forever remain the lowest of ants."

In truth, these words stung the Demon Saint-level experts in their innermost hearts far more deeply than any cultivation technique they could unleash.

For as soon as these words were uttered, the beautiful hope for peaceful coexistence between humans and demons, once cherished by the demon faction, shattered like a fragile dream.

"Hahaha, it seems that from beginning to end, you haughty Six Royal Lineages never intended to grant us demons a chance at peaceful coexistence. If that's the case, then there's nothing left to discuss. Let us use our fists to win the demons a chance to defend their dignity!"

Demon Saint Qitian was the first to soar into the sky! Based on his specialized cultivation domain, he locked onto the chief elder of the Morning Light Royal Lineage.

Among the Six Human-Spirit Dao heritages, the Morning Light Royal Lineage specialized in physical cultivation and mastery of powerful techniques. It could be said that the physical strength and foundation of their warriors were the strongest. Coincidentally, Demon Saint Qitian also excelled at unleashing ultimate physical power, making their cultivation methods quite similar.

Therefore, Qitian unhesitatingly chose this physically strongest opponent, entering the exclusive space of the Morning Light Royal Lineage's chief elder, thus forming a localized battlefield solely for the two of them!

"Hahaha, it seems it's time for a hearty battle!"

Xu Yang's direct disciple, White Lotus Demon Saint, revealed a captivating smile. Simultaneously, she stepped into the air, locking onto the chief elder of the Homologous Royal Lineage.

The Homologous Royal Lineage specialized in mental power cultivation, and was the strongest among the Six Lineages in terms of spiritual cultivation, perfectly aligning with White Lotus Demon Saint's cultivated attributes. It's worth noting that the chief elder of this Homologous Lineage was also the only woman among the six chief elders.

However, this old woman's hair was entirely white, and she had long lost the glorious beauty of her youth. Compared to the White Lotus Demon Saint before them, her appearance was tragically inferior.

Immediately after, the Crying Blood Demon Saint confronted the chief elder of the Immortal Soldier Royal Lineage, who specialized in summon-attribute powers. Meanwhile, the chief elder of the Netherworld Lineage, who had previously boasted and exuded a fierce killing aura, was locked onto by Qianmo, who had just ascended to the Demon Saint realm.

Thus, the four Demon Saints each locked onto their corresponding chief elders. These top experts selected their opponents and entered their respective exclusive localized battlefield barriers.

Only the Xuanyuan Royal Lineage and the Misty Rain Royal Lineage remained. These two chief elders did not immediately rush into action, as it was clear they had long noticed the presence of Xiao Xiang and the reserved girl Jiu'er within Xu Yang's ranks.

"You two rebellious disciples! How dare you defect to the enemy's camp on the eve of a great battle? Don't you owe this venerable one a reasonable explanation?"

The chief elder of the Misty Rain Royal Lineage asked this in a deep voice. Xiao Xiang, with a look of shame, placed a hand over his heart and slightly lowered his head.

"Reporting to Elder, there must be some misunderstanding here. Under Sir Xu Yang's leadership, the demons genuinely seek to do good and wish to secure a fair negotiation with our Six Human Lineages, ushering in a prosperous era of mutual development and peaceful coexistence for both humans and demons.

This disciple has also benefited from Sir Xu Yang's meticulous protection throughout this journey. Had he not intervened, I fear I would have long perished on the demon battlefield.

No matter what, this time I choose to stand by Sir Xu Yang's side and support all his actions."

The reserved girl Jiu'er, standing beside him, nodded in righteous agreement upon hearing Xiao Xiang's words. She then cupped her fists towards the chief elder of the Xuanyuan Royal Lineage above—the only one among the six chief elders to have reached the quasi-emperor realm.

"What Senior Sister Xiao Xiang said is precisely what I believe, Chief Grand-Elder. Please forgive this disciple for making such a decision. Furthermore, I have found my birth father among the demons; Crying Blood Demon Saint is my father.

There is no way I could ever choose to betray their camp again. What's more, the profound realm Sir Xu Yang commands holds the blueprint for the Kunlun Divine Dao lineage to achieve greater development."
