Chapter 5015 A Will to Die
How will the Demon Kingdom plan for this battle?
How can the Primordial Heavenly Court restrain the Immortal Realm of the Demon Kingdom?
Could there be any additional variables in this battle?
Su Bai was overwhelmed with thoughts and found it difficult to calm down.
Su Bai didn't notice that he was standing not far in front of Duanmu Lei.
Duanmu Lei sat on the ground, holding an ancient-looking long spear in his arms.
The spear's body was mottled and dull, yet it possessed an extraordinary, timeless charm, undoubtedly making it a supreme weapon.
The aura of this spear was completely integrated with Duanmu Lei's, as if they were originally one. The compatibility between the two was even higher than that between the Tianya Sword and Su Bai.
Although Duanmu Lei closed his eyes to rest, he could still perceive everything around him.
At that moment, he suddenly spoke to Su Bai telepathically, "Are you feeling uneasy about the battle against the White-Haunted Demon Lord?"
This telepathic message abruptly snapped Su Bai out of his myriad thoughts.
Su Bai turned around and glanced at the person behind him. "It's Fellow Daoist Duanmu."
Duanmu Lei opened his eyes, his gaze indifferent and calm.
"In this battle, I will still be the one to deal with the White-Hate Demon Lord. I am prepared to die in this battle. Your task is to deliver the final blow at the crucial moment, while also holding off the other powerful figures of the Demon Kingdom," Duanmu Lei said softly.
Upon hearing this, Su Bai was taken aback. "Wasn't I supposed to deal with him?"
This is different from what Fu Yunxiu told me!
Duanmu Lei looked directly at Su Bai and said, "The Demon Lord Baiyan is too strong. You have never fought against him and your understanding of him is limited. I cannot use any means to truly let you know how terrifying he is."
"Therefore, without the determination to die, it is impossible to shake this person. This time I have no intention of returning alive, so I will still be the one to fight the White-Hate Demon Lord."
"You, then, should seek a foolproof opportunity to strike and finish him off, striving to severely injure him, even if you cannot kill him, so that he loses his fighting ability in this battle."
Su Bai frowned slightly. Was Duanmu Lei being too pessimistic?
He said, "Is the White-Haunted Demon Lord so powerful that even if Fellow Daoist Duanmu were to fight to the death, he wouldn't be confident of defeating him?"
Su Bai had exchanged a blow with Duanmu Lei outside the Shaotian Division, and had a basic understanding of his combat abilities.
Duanmu Lei's combat power is definitely above that of the Old Demon of Cangzhou, and should be much stronger.
For beings of this caliber to fight to the death, their energy is unimaginable.
Even so, he didn't seem to have much confidence.
Duanmu Lei calmly said, "You have never fought him, so you cannot understand how terrifying he is. Therefore, after careful consideration, Your Highness has decided that I will still be the one to take action."
“I once fought him and almost lost my life. Even until the very last moment, I still felt that he had some strength left to use.”
"Actually, saying all this is meaningless. When the battle comes, you will understand how terrifying Baiyan Demon Lord is. If you fight to the death and have your help, it would be a very good outcome if you can kill him."
"If your cultivation level is above mine, it would be a better choice for you to survive."
After saying that, Duanmu Lei closed his eyes again, his face expressionless.
Su Bai was surprised by this sudden change and planned to ask Fu Yunxiu for clarification later.
But he also had another question in his mind: "When Fellow Daoist Duanmu spoke of fighting to the death, did he intend to burn out his divine blood, or even self-destruct?"
Duanmu Lei did not open his eyes, but simply nodded slightly.
It really was a self-inflicted wound...
Su Bai asked, "Fellow Daoist Duanmu, what makes you so determined?"
Duanmu Lei opened his eyes again, calmly looked at Su Bai, and then said, "You only recently joined the Taihuang Heavenly Court. You have won the Ninth Prince's trust. Then let me ask you, what is your purpose in joining the Taihuang Heavenly Court?"
Su Bai said, "It is to resist the Demon Kingdom and the Upper Realm, in order to protect the Ruins Realm behind me. One person's strength is too insignificant. With the help of the power of the Primordial Heavenly Court, there may be a chance to do so."
The chaotic universe is still in its initial stage of revival and has not yet been perceived by the Demon Kingdom.
Once the future is perceived, the fate they will face will likely be the same as that of Mu Mo's mother world.
If the Demon Kingdom could be destroyed before then, things might change, but that would definitely be very difficult.
Duanmu Lei suddenly said, "There is no one behind me. I am doing this for revenge, but also so that some people who may face the same fate as me in the future can have hope for life."
Su Bai looked at him.
Duanmu Lei's eyes became blurry.
"After cultivating for tens of millions of years, I stepped into the divine realm and became the strongest person in an orderly universe. I thought I could control destiny, decide life and death, and protect those I wanted to protect."
"But I never expected that stepping into the divine realm would be the beginning of a nightmare. The realm I belonged to was completely wiped out by the Demon Kingdom, and I was unable to protect any of the people I wanted to protect."
“I watched them fall beside me. I couldn’t save them. I couldn’t defeat the gods of the Demon Kingdom. I should have died in that battle too. It was the Heavenly Court of the Great Wilderness that saved me. I’ve come this far with hatred in my heart.”
"Back then, the one who destroyed my mother realm was the White-Hate Demon Lord. This is the hatred between me and the Demon Kingdom, and even more so, the hatred between me and him. Therefore, I am determined to die in this battle."
When he uttered the last word, Duanmu Lei's eyes regained their firmness and clarity.
He looked at Su Bai and smiled slightly, "You still have people you need to protect, which makes me even more certain that I should be the one to die. You must live well, protect the people you want to protect, and not repeat my mistakes."
Su Bai was moved; he hadn't expected that Duanmu Lei's reason for being so determined to die was this.
He also thought of the chaotic universe.
If Mu Mo hadn't told him about the existence of the Upper Universe, he might have stayed in the Chaotic Universe and one day in the future, his fate would have overlapped with Duanmu Lei's.
Su Bai remained silent.
The divine ship traveled continuously through the void, but its direction changed several times.
Fu Yunxiu and the others seemed to have reached a certain conclusion in their discussion. Su Bai returned to his resting place and happened to see Fu Yunxiu walking towards him.
Su Bai immediately said, "In this battle, it will be a fight between Duanmu Lei and Bai Yan Demon Lord, with me assisting from the sidelines?"
Fu Yunxiu didn't hide anything and nodded gently, "Yes, I only found out recently. This is the latest decision made jointly by my elder brother, the Heavenly Lord, and Duanmu Lei, but it's not too different from the original plan. I was just about to tell you. Have you talked to Duanmu Lei?"
“Yes, he told me that,” Su Bai said.
After sighing, Fu Yunxiu said, "Duanmu Lei is determined to die. Baiyan Demon Lord is his deepest obsession. If he doesn't kill Baiyan Demon Lord, he may not be able to finally reach the Immortal Realm."
"As for the Heavenly Emperor, he hopes that you can survive, achieve immortality in the future, and strengthen the power of the Heavenly Court in the realm of immortality."
