"You... you're really not listening to my... my words, are you! Get out of my... get out of my way!"
The Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing forcefully divided a strand of her Heart Spirit and shouted at the three Female Celestial Generals beside her.
The Female Celestial General Demon Sword turned her head to look at her own Celestial King, smiled charmingly, and said, "Your Majesty, you just spoke of your mission. Little Jian feels her mission is to eternally stay by your side. If Your Majesty goes to the prosperous places of the human world, then Little Jian will accompany you for joy and play. If Your Majesty goes to the suffering places of the human world, then Little Jian will accompany you to aid the common people. If Your Majesty is determined to die, determined to suppress and seal this incarnation of the Nine Nether Old Demon, then Little Jian will accompany you to suppress and seal. If I can enter the cycle of rebirth with Your Majesty, then Little Jian would truly be happy!
As for the future of the Ghost Race that you just mentioned, you have also said that the current number of cultivators in our Ghost Race is several times more than during the time when the Old Celestial King commanded over two thousand years ago, and the population has increased dozens or even hundreds of times! Such a prosperous Ghost Race will undoubtedly produce a few geniuses with better talents than Little Jian, Little Qi, and Little Di in the future. In that case, Your Majesty, why worry about the future of our Ghost Race!
On the contrary, if Your Majesty burns everything today and still fails to completely seal this incarnation of the Nine Nether Old Demon, then that would be the greatest disaster for the Ghost Race!
Little Jian asks for nothing else, only to fight alongside Your Majesty, to accompany Your Majesty wherever you wish to go, and be thoroughly satisfied and happy!"
Upon hearing this, the Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing could not help but feel anxious. However, she now has no strength left to repel the Demon Sword and the three Female Celestial Generals. Helplessly, she had to turn her head and fix her gaze firmly on the incarnation of the Nine Nether Old Demon, burning even more ferociously everything she had, hoping to completely suppress and seal the incarnation of the Nine Nether Old Demon before the three Celestial Generals need to burn their foundation!
Originally, the reserves of True Qi within the Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing were already on the verge of exhaustion. All the True Qi within her Star Core had been drained in the immense consumption of the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword, already entering the process of consuming her own True Qi, flesh, life force, and even lifespan. At this moment, pushing herself so desperately, her complexion suddenly became even more gloomy, and her full head of white hair became somewhat withered...
If this continues, in a mere ten minutes, this Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing, once renowned for thousands of years in the Northern Celestial Star Realm, will truly burn everything she has!
The surrounding thousands of Ghost Race cultivators in the Flying Ships of the Northern Celestial Palace witnessed this scene, each one anxious. Dozens of Ghost Race cultivators who had just stepped into Tier Ten Immortal Venerable, unable to freely resist the extreme cold of the void, directly flew out from their Flying Ships and landed beside their Celestial King Mo Liqing, urging their True Qi within to be transferred into her meridians.
These dozens of Ghost Race cultivators who had just reached Tier Ten Immortal Venerable, in this kind of action, the extreme cold in the void immediately enveloped their entire bodies with frost. This intense cold caused their bodies to start freezing rapidly from the surface, and in a few minutes at most, these cultivators will become ice sculptures, directly perishing in this void!
Although the Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing could rely on her True Qi to form a protective barrier to shield her companions, this magic could only protect one or two. Watching the top experts of the Northern Celestial Palace whom she painstakingly trained become rigid, and about to turn into ice sculptures, naturally she was anxious. Yet at this moment, she had no means at all, nor any way to stop these experts under her command!
The Tier Nine Immortal Venerables in the Flying Ships were completely unable to resist the severe cold of the void. Once they exited the Flying Ships, they would become ice sculptures within seconds, perhaps unable to transfer even a bit of True Qi... Otherwise, probably all thousands of Ghost Race cultivators in the Flying Ships would fly out, even if they could last for tens of seconds, they would still assist their Celestial King in thoroughly sealing the incarnation of the Nine Nether Old Demon!
The incarnation of the Nine Nether Old Demon, bearing the attacks and seals of the Northern Celestial Secret Technique and the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword, seeing those dozens of Ghost Race experts disregard their lives, even ready to turn into ice sculptures to help their Northern Celestial Palace Celestial King Mo Liqing seal itself, immediately became anxious, activating all its remaining True Qi! In its heart, it kept cursing; not only was the Celestial King Commander Mo Liqing of the current Ghost Race a lunatic who disregarded life, but even those cultivators who had painstakingly reached the Tier Ten Immortal Venerable Realm were darned lunatics, all of them were lunatics!
At this moment,
both sides were fighting at the most critical point,
if either side showed even the slightest slacking or couldn't hold on, their efforts would be in vain!
While the resistance capability of the Nine Nether Old Demon incarnation truly exceeded the expectations of Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing. For this day, to completely seal the incarnation of the Nine Nether Old Demon, ever since her father, the Old Celestial King, perished, she had prepared for nearly two thousand years. During these two thousand years, she sent people to collect Star Cores capable of storing True Qi with all their might, even pasturing countless Life Planets, extracting the blood and life force of an endless number of non-human lives, thereby preparing almost several hundred to a thousand times her own True Qi!
Yet this battle exhausted all the terrifying amount of True Qi she had collected through endless years and efforts!
The sealing power of this Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword and its consumption of True Qi were truly too great, and the exquisite degree of the protective magic of the Nine Nether Old Demon was indeed exceptionally strong!
"Before my flesh, foundation, meridians, and everything completely burns away, I will surely seal this incarnation of the Nine Nether Old Demon! I hope the sacrifice of these dozens of Tier Ten Immortal Venerable Ghost Race experts can bring the Ghost Race a better future!"
The white-haired Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing frowned, glanced at the dozens of fighting Ghost Race Generals of the Northern Celestial Palace beside her, then resolutely turned her head to look at the distant incarnation of the Nine Nether Old Demon!
The dozens of Ghost Race Generals of the Northern Celestial Palace were now nearly fallen, with most of their flesh completely frozen, leaving only the meridians, head, internal organs, and parts of the blood protected by True Qi. Actually, at this time, if these Ghost Race Generals had the heart to retreat, they could still return alive to their Flying Ships, recovering for a hundred years, might regain some damage to their meridians, although they could not advance further on the Immortal Path, they could at least survive!
However, facing death rapidly approaching, these dozens of Ghost Race Generals of the Northern Celestial Palace showed no signs of retreat nor did anyone reveal fear on their faces. Just like thousands of years ago, to help the Ghost Race Old Celestial King seal the incarnation of the Nine Nether Old Demon, they selflessly approached death just like those thousands of Ghost Race Tier Eight and Tier Nine Immortal Venerables!
The Ghost Race, as one branch of the Human Race, able to rise and become the dominant ruler of the Northern Celestial Star Realm, evidently was not without cause. From the Old Celestial King to the Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing, from those thousands of Tier Eight and Tier Nine Ghost Race experts thousands of years ago to the present-day dozens of Tier Ten experts, are all the genuine backbone of the Ghost Race, the ruler of the Northern Celestial Star Realm!
Under normal circumstances, the more cultivators ascend to high realms, the more they cherish life, reluctant to enter the cycle of rebirth because they have enjoyed the reverence of many, enjoyed the view from the highest place. However, these Ghost Race experts, even those rare Tier Ten Immortal Venerables from other clans, equally face death with equanimity, like worker bees in a hive!
At this moment, the seventh incarnation of the Nine Nether Old Demon, enveloped by the Purple-Blue Light Snake, was continually struggling, gazing at the resolute and death-defying Ghost Race experts, looking at the determined face of the Northern Celestial Palace Celestial King Mo Liqing, suddenly felt a profound despair rising from its heart!
