Chapter 459 Demon-Summoning Banner
After reaching the Earth Immortal realm, one can create countless clones and project them into numerous minor worlds. However, to achieve the eternal realm of immortality and indestructibility, that is something only the Celestial Immortal realm can accomplish.
The Celestial Immortal realm is where all the projections of one's avatars are merged into one. This achieves the eternal unity of past, present, and future, attaining immortality and becoming a legend.
Unexpectedly, the Confucian sage's cultivation was so high that he was almost at the legendary Celestial Immortal realm!
It's important to understand that even in ancient times, very few people could achieve the Celestial Immortal realm. Only powerful rulers like the True Martial Emperor and the Longevity Emperor, as well as Buddhist patriarchs such as Dipankara Buddha (past Buddha) and Maitreya Buddha (future Buddha), could reach this level.
Since the end of the ancient era, the Earth Immortal realm has been the highest level that cultivators can reach. Since the end of the ancient era, there has never been any news of a new Celestial Immortal being being born.
It's unbelievable that the Confucian sage has almost reached that level. In that case, I'm afraid there really isn't anyone in the entire demon race who can deal with him.
All the Great Sages of the Demon Race had extremely gloomy expressions. Bai Ze, the Demon Sage who served as the strategist of the Demon Race, suddenly sighed and said, "I never imagined that the human race has grown to this level! Now is a critical moment for the survival of our Demon Race. It seems that we have no choice but to summon the Demon-Summoning Banner!"
Upon hearing that the Demon Saint Bai Ze was going to take out the Demon-Summoning Banner to deal with those humans, the expressions of all the Demon Saints changed.
Although the Demon-Summoning Banner is powerful, it's a weapon that kills a thousand enemies but also harms eight hundred of your own. Before this, the demon saints of the demon race had strongly opposed Bai Ze Demon Saint bringing out the Demon-Summoning Banner.
However, at this point, if they don't use this last trump card, the entire demon race might be wiped out by humans. Although using the Demon-Summoning Banner would severely damage the demon race's vitality, not using it would not just be a severe blow, but a true annihilation.
The demon saints could clearly distinguish which was more important than the other.
Therefore, although they all looked unhappy, they did not refute it again.
Bai Ze, the Demon Saint, sighed and said, "Please bring out the Demon-Summoning Banner. I still need the help of three brothers. I wonder which three are willing to contribute to the survival of the demon race? Bai Ze will be eternally grateful!"
At this point, Bai Ze, the Demon Saint, actually bent down and, imitating humans, bowed deeply to the demon saints in front of him.
The demon saints wore varied expressions, yet none of them uttered a word. They all knew that although it was said to be a contribution, that contribution was far from simple; it could very well cost them their lives. Even in the best-case scenario, they might suffer severe damage to their vital energy, or even be forced back to their original forms.
Therefore, all the demon saints hesitated and none of them spoke first.
The first to respond was the already severely injured Mountain-Moving Demon Saint, who sighed and said, "Very well, I am already seriously injured, and even if I stay, I can't be of much help. All of you brothers are capable of serving yourselves, so you should stay and do your part for the demon race. Leave the task of summoning the Demon-Summoning Banner to me!"
Bai Ze, the Demon Saint, frowned, a hint of reluctance in his eyes: "Brother Ban Shan, in your current state, if you were to request the Demon-Summoning Banner, I'm afraid..."
Bai Ze, the Demon Saint, didn't continue, but everyone knew what it meant—even a Demon Saint in his prime could be reverted to his original form under the influence of the Demon-Summoning Banner. Now, Bai Ze was severely injured; if he were to summon the Demon-Summoning Banner, he would likely lose his life.
The Mountain-Moving Demon Saint waved his remaining hand and said, "Brother Bai Ze, there's no need to say more. Now is the time for the life and death of the demon race. Our demon race has ruled the Divine Continent for so many years, how can we be destroyed today? Brother Man Niu has already sacrificed himself for the demon race, and Brother Hei Long's fate is also unknown. I, the Mountain-Moving Demon Saint, am not a person who is afraid of death!"
"Very well!" Bai Ze, the Demon Saint, nodded heavily. "In that case, on behalf of all the descendants of the demon race, Bai Ze thanks Brother Ban Shan for his righteousness!"
Just then, a soft voice rang out: "Since that's the case, then count me in too!"
The demon saints looked up and saw that the speaker was a beautiful woman with a cold expression—the only female demon saint among the ten demon saints, the White Bone Demon Saint.
This White Bone Demon Saint is different from the other Ten Great Saints of the Demon Clan. She is not only the only female Demon Saint among the Ten Great Saints of the Demon Clan, but she also had a certain reputation as early as ancient times.
The so-called Great Saints of the demon race before us are all rising stars who emerged after the end of the ancient era. However, this White Bone Demon Saint was already a well-known figure among the demon race in the ancient era.
Moreover, it is said among the demon race that she had a close relationship with the famous demon saint, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, from ancient times.
The White Bone Demon Saint flipped his hand and took out a scroll, handing it to the White Ze Demon Saint, saying, "If my life is in danger, I beg the White Ze Demon Saint to preserve a wisp of my soul and seal it within this scroll."
Bai Ze, the Demon Saint, took the scroll and nodded heavily, saying, "Rest assured, Madam, Bai Ze will do everything in his power to preserve your soul intact!"
The White Bone Demon Saint holds an extremely special position among the current Ten Great Saints of the Demon Race. Since even someone as renowned as him from ancient times has stepped forward, the other Demon Saints naturally cannot continue to refuse.
The remaining demon saints exchanged glances, and one of them stepped forward: "I'll take the last place!"
The last person to emerge was none other than the Nine-Headed Demon Saint, one of the Ten Great Saints of the Demon Clan.
This nine-headed demon saint also possesses the bloodline of an ancient alien species, and is said to be a descendant of the ancient alien species, the nine-headed insect.
Although its abilities are not the strongest among the Ten Great Saints of the Demon Race, its vitality is extremely strong.
The Nine-Headed Insect is an ancient and extraordinary creature that cannot be completely killed unless all nine of its heads are severed at the same time; its vitality is extremely strong. Even among the many great saints of the demon race, it is one of the top beings.
The Nine-Headed Demon Saint spoke up, "The others might be in mortal danger if they go, but I'm confident I can save my own life. I'll go for the last one!"
Bai Ze, the Demon Saint, knew the Nine-Headed Demon Saint's abilities. Perhaps he wasn't particularly strong in combat, but his ability to survive was absolutely top-notch. Seeing that he had volunteered, Bai Ze nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the three demon saints who would summon the Demon Summoning Banner had been determined, Demon Saint Bai Ze said to the remaining demon saints, "Very well, the three great saints, come with me to summon the Demon Summoning Banner. As for those humans, I'll leave it to the remaining four. No matter what, you must hold them back before summoning the Demon Summoning Banner and prevent them from entering the Demon Palace!"
