Chapter 416 Water Temperature Rising

The Five Elements Demon Blood can take away the Five Elements of a person.

If the Five Elements are lost, one will lose all perception of the outside world and eventually immerse oneself in the ‘self’.

In the past, Li Qi tried his best to find a way to restrain the Five Elements Demon Blood, and with the help of Lingxiao Flower God who acted without interference from outsiders, he barely suppressed this drop of Five Elements Demon Blood.

And does Green Mountain God have this ability?

Li Qi doesn’t know.

But it doesn’t matter.

Even if he has it, it won’t be a short time.

Next, just preside over the sacrifice, and then confront the demon soldiers outside.

Without Green Mountain God, the demon soldiers outside have no ability to open the world barrier alone, because Li Qi is still in the world, maintaining the self-repair of the world barrier through sacrifice.

The Holy Flame Realm is temporarily safe.

Then what needs to be done is to wait for the battlefields on the other two sides.

The battlefield inside the Holy Flame Realm, and the battlefield of Shen Shuibi outside the sky.

As for Shen Shuibi, Li Qi actually had no right to interfere. Although he had some arrangements, they were not used now. Now that both sides were still in balance, the longer it dragged on, the better.

You should leave room for everything. If you don't force the opponent's trump card out, then don't talk about other things.

Li Qi didn't believe that the Devouring Heaven Demon Lord didn't have a few tricks up his sleeve.

Just like the Green Mountain God Jinchi, if you didn't see it yourself, who would know that he could still summon the projection of the Green Mountain from such a far distance?

If he really relied on Shen Shuibi's power to press forward, then if he hit the Green Mountain projection, he would definitely suffer a big loss.

Never underestimate other people's trump cards. If you can't afford to lose, it's better to test a little bit, throw a stone to test the way first, and then wait for an opportunity to act.

Although the stone thrown to test the way was the Holy King of the Holy Flame Clan, it was for the Holy Flame Realm, wasn't it?

So, now that the situation is balanced, the one who must be anxious must be the other side, just wait for the Devouring Heaven Demon Lord to play a card.

As for the civil war in the Holy Flame Realm...

Well, there is no need to interfere. It is not a good thing for that side to win quickly.

After all, for Gaga, this war is to wipe out the remaining forces of the immortals.

But for Li Qi, it is to have enough blood sacrifices to provide energy for the survival of the Holy Flame Realm.

Very helpless, but there is no way.

Li Qi now believes that if you want to ensure the "righteousness" of the individual, you must give priority to preserving the "righteousness" of the group.

If the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached?

If the Holy Flame Realm is not lost, or occupied by the Devouring Demon Lord, or those demon soldiers break through the world barrier and rush in, then it will be really tragic.

Therefore, when Li Qi made this decision, although he hesitated, he did not hesitate for too long.

Now, for him, just continue to prepare and watch the development of the war.

Wait for the other party to play a card.

————————

Three months, the war lasted for a full three months.

Because the Green Mountain God appeared in person, the believers became very powerful, and then divided into two groups, east and west, and killed towards the remaining one-third of the area.

The war broke out, and within just one month, several cities were pacified one after another. Wherever the army of the Kingdom of God went, all the cities in the river basins were also greatly affected by the war.

The war had come, and the people were fighting for counterfeiting. Goods were light and goods were heavy. The price of grain soared. Starving people were lying on the road, and corpses were lying on the hills. Natural disasters and man-made disasters went hand in hand, and people could not live day and night.

But at this time, the places that were attacked were still in civil war.

These people who were unwilling to accept the original rule of the Immortal Sect were not of the same mind at all.

If they worked together and resisted together, then perhaps things would not be so bad at all, but at this moment, facing the city-states that were wiped out, many people's reaction was: "Good death!"

Li Qi watched silently from the side without reacting. He was more of a supporter in helping Shen Shuibi fight.

A month of continuous fighting was just the beginning for the fifth rank.

"Yu'er, is there anything going on over there?" Li Qi asked.

"Everything is stable. Neither of us can do anything now. The Sky Devouring Demon Lord is very strong, not much worse than me, and he has some restraint on me in terms of affinity. I'm afraid this battle will be difficult to end in a short time." Rabbit replied through the communication array.

"As long as it is stable, it's fine. If he doesn't show some trump cards, then just drag it out like this. If it drags on for a long time, he will lose." Li Qi smiled.

Rabbit nodded, and then continued to focus on dealing with the Sky Devouring Demon Lord.

Although the battle lasted for a long time, the intensity was not low. Any negligence could have fatal consequences. The Sky Devouring Demon Lord is not a weak hand and needs to be dealt with carefully.

However, fortunately, there is Li Qi.

Through the uninterrupted support of Fang Xiang's spirit, plus the many spirits that Li Qi often supplies with sacrifices, they can play a lot of wonderful uses in the battle and can greatly reduce the pressure.

Especially the Fang Xiang's spirit, every time it is used, the Sky Devouring Demon Lord has to be distracted to deal with it, which almost increases the winning rate by 10%.

The benefits of seeing through the footsteps are really fully revealed.

However, this only barely evened the situation.

Fang Xiang's spirit only offset the opponent's ability to eat the moon, so the outcome is still uncertain.

However, Shen Shuibi has not played a card yet, and she has not even used the power of the technique.

The technique she practiced was the Chenji Jindan Method. The many magical powers of the Chenji Jindan Method, including the power of manipulating the coordinate system that Li Qi felt from the seventh-grade disciple when he bravely entered Luofu Mountain, were of no use at all.

Everything was progressing slowly as Li Qi said.

For this, Li Qi also made great efforts. He was deducing with great efforts every day. Rabbit was not good at these things, so he had to do it himself.

But his ability was limited, so he had to let Rabbit play on the front battlefield.

After finishing the conversation with Rabbit, Li Qi looked at another communication technique.

Over there, it was Gaga.

At this time, Gaga had just finished a battle.

The soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, and he stood on the periphery with a sword, aiming at the distance.

After aiming for a while, he held the blade, cut the hole, and threw it fiercely!

The long sword burst out with a sound of breaking through the air and whistled away.

Gaga didn't look, because he knew that the escaping enemy general was already dead. He used the sword control technique of the Taoist technique to kill people hundreds of miles away, and this sword would definitely hit.

However, he was not very happy in his heart.

Along the way, he saw too much, and the world seemed to have returned to several years ago.

Life had just gotten a little better, but we were immediately plunged into war again.

How could people in this era have such a hard time living...

Along the way, the old and the weak were trapped in the weeds, the corpses of soldiers were piled up like mountains, the dead bodies of the hungry filled the suburbs, dogs and pigs hated human flesh, birds and kites ate human flesh, the stench was smelt for thousands of miles, bones piled up on the mountains, blood and weeds were fat, and insects and rats were all fat.

In the deserted ruins, ghosts cried under the cold grass, the plains were in sight, there was no smoke for thousands of miles, the remaining people were decimated, no one could guarantee the day or night, fathers left their young children, wives cried for their ex-husbands.

There were so many lonely and miserable people, and the famine was even worse.

The chaos had just begun, who knew whether they would live or die.

As long as this was done, it would be over, right?

Gaga thought so.

The feeling of the long sword entering the flesh came, and after a while, a stream of light returned to his hand.

The enemy general had surrendered.

Someone next to him cheered and shouted the general's name.

Gaga didn't say much and went straight back to the tent.

"You just came to me, what's the matter?" After returning to the tent, he opened the magic, which allowed him to contact the always unfathomable 'immortal'.

This immortal gave Gaga a very strange impression.

He seemed to be cold and ruthless. He never seemed to care how many people would die because of his decision, and he didn't care about the damage to the Holy Flame Realm when he issued orders.

He would even easily make a proposal that would easily kill hundreds of thousands of people.

However, Gaga did not listen to his 'proposal' at first, and the immortal did not seem to force it.

But the facts always proved that his choice was the one with the least casualties.

The seemingly cold decision brought the best result.

Gaga tried to turn the tide several times, but failed.

It seemed that only following him was right.

Gaga couldn't figure out whether he was cold or kind. If he was cold, he would always remind himself before large-scale casualties, but if he was kind... sometimes he would even set the number of casualties and let Gaga slaughter the captives.

According to him, this was all 'for the overall situation'.

Gaga couldn't accept this "big picture" approach, but he was powerless. If he acted on his own, the casualties would be much greater.

For example, at the beginning, it was because Gaga didn't accept the immortal's advice to build a wall and clear the field, artificially creating an uninhabited area, which led to the fleeing of the chaotic soldiers, and finally the casualties increased several times.

The immortal seemed to be able to see this, but he never explained it, as if he was too lazy to talk too much with these "mortals". He was busy every day. In addition to the battlefield below, there seemed to be their battlefield in the sky and outside the world.

The only thing that made Gaga feel at ease was that the vision of the demons filling the sky had disappeared, and the signs of the world barrier being gnawed gradually subsided. It can be seen that the immortals should be in the upper hand in the battle, and at the very least it would be a draw.

There is no need to worry about threats from outside the domain for the time being.

The magic stabilized and the two established communication.

Li Qi immediately asked: "How is the recent situation? Can it be controlled?"

"Fortunately, I have already curbed the momentum of the advance. As long as there is no Saint... uh, Seventh Rank to take action, the rest will not be a big deal for me and my soldiers." Gaga adjusted his tone and began to speak in a way that the immortals are used to understanding.

"That's good. I saw that one of them, a Seventh Rank, has moved towards you. It seems that he wants to behead you, but he uses the most superficial way to break through the Seventh Rank. You are practicing the martial arts of the world, so it should be no problem, but be careful of sneak attacks." Li Qi reminded.

"I understand." Gaga immediately understood.

This kind of thing has happened several times. Immortals have some strange vision and can see things they can't see.

"Well, the next battle should be with Kogu. He is also an Eighth Rank and is definitely not your opponent. This time, you don't need to annihilate them all. You can take some prisoners." Li Qi said again.

Gaga breathed a sigh of relief.

At least this time... there is no requirement to kill people in those special ways and then call it a "blood sacrifice".

But Li Qi's next words immediately froze Gaga's voice.

"Except for you, the situation has been rotten recently. Too many people have died. The blood sacrifice has already exceeded the amount. I will pass the remaining power to you through the altar later. Use it well."

Li Qi said this, and Gaga made a bitter sound.

"The more people die... the stronger I will be?" Gaga looked at his hands, his mind a little dazed.

The more dead people there are, the stronger he is, and the more he has the ability to turn the tide.

But everyone is dead, who is he trying to turn the tide for?

Li Qi looked at Gaga behind the water curtain, and he had some similar doubts in his heart.

How should it be reflected in everyone?

The pursuers, whether active or passive, are constantly surrounded by confusion.

However, it is precisely because of these confusions that there is a constant source of motivation to move forward.

The two of them just had a simple conversation, and Li Qi was about to hang up, he had other things to do.

However, at this time, Gaga suddenly spoke.

"The last time you gave me an example, I thought about the traffic problem recently." He said so.

"Oh? Do you have a result?" Li Qi was a little surprised.

He had talked about this thing with Gaga before, in order to explain his decision.

Sometimes, you have to make a choice, so I used this as an example, and it seems... Gaga seems to have listened to it.

"There is no result, but I think that no matter what choice you make, it is wrong. The only difference is that it is a forced mistake. There are many things in the world that are not perfect." Gaga said to Li Qi.

Li Qi smiled: "It has always been like this."

"Even if you immortals are the same?" Gaga asked again.

"Me? Who am I? Even as strong as Buddha, True Immortal, and Witch God, I am afraid there are things they can't do. They also have to make choices." Li Qi shook his head and said with a wry smile.

Gaga didn't understand what Buddha and Witch God meant, but it didn't prevent him from knowing that the immortal in front of him, who seemed to him to be omnipotent, also had unattainable existences, and those existences also had their own helplessness.

Thinking of this, Gaga turned off the communication and didn't even say hello to Li Qi.

Li Qi looked at the turned-off array.

Perhaps this son of destiny thought of something, it doesn't matter, he should continue to do things.

However, at this moment, the Sky Devouring Demon Lord was not as calm as Li Qi.

This fifth-grade demon frowned and was anxious.

What's going on!

Why is there no news from Jin Chi?

But he can feel that he is not dead, and is even very healthy.

He is quite clear about Jin Chi's ability. Even if the opponent is a fifth-grade one, Jin Chi is not without the ability to escape. He can hold on for a quarter of an hour, which is enough to send him a message.

And he also left a mark. If Jin Chi died there, he would be able to sense it directly.

But now, Jin Chi's condition is very normal. He is not dead, and there is no news. But the Holy Flame Realm is intact, without any problems. Sacrifices are still being performed, and the continuous support helps the dead rabbit to suppress him.

What is Jin Chi hesitating about? !
