However, this battle was not something Zhao Hai could simply choose to avoid. He was forced to fight, and even if he didn't want to, he had to engage. The main reason Zhao Hai did not participate in the battle today was that he wanted to observe if there were any vital weaknesses in the demon clan members during combat that would result in their immediate death when targeted.
But after observing for a long time, Zhao Hai noticed nothing. The vitality of these demon clan members was truly formidable. Unless one could decapitate them at the first opportunity, no matter where they were injured, they would not die immediately; instead, they would self-destruct right away.
To decapitate a demon clan member at the first opportunity, one would need considerable skill. However, Zhao Hai's undead beings were incapable of this, resulting in considerable losses for him in this battle.
The Demon Dragon King and his companions were currently entangled with those pseudo-divine level undead beings, but they were not at a disadvantage. They fought vigorously against the pseudo-divine level undead beings. If it weren't for the extremely tough skeletal structure of those undead, they might not have been able to withstand the attacks of the Demon Dragon King and his companions.
Zhao Hai watched the battlefield with a furrowed brow, and the Demon Dragon King was the same. To be honest, Zhao Hai's undead army was quite a headache for him. Even the undead army summoned by the Lich Race within the demon clan was not as troublesome as Zhao Hai's undead beings. There were too few units capable of holding back the demon army’s advance, and Zhao Hai's undead army had to be counted among them.
Both sides battled for over two hours, suffering mutual damage. Zhao Hai gently waved his hand, and Meigen and Princess Li immediately instructed the undead beings to form a formation and slowly retreat. Zhao Hai then walked to the front line. Upon seeing Zhao Hai's demeanor, the Demon Dragon King realized that the battle was likely coming to an end for today. He also waved his hand, signaling the demon army to halt.
Zhao Hai looked at the Demon Dragon King and said softly, "Your Majesty, I simply want to advise everyone that the Ark Continent may not necessarily be suitable for the survival of the demon clan. The spatial rift has already opened, and the divine race has arrived on the Ark Continent. They are greedily conquering, and they might have already subdued several small dimensions. If the demon clan truly teamed up with the divine race to annihilate us on the Ark Continent, the divine race would likely turn against the demon clan immediately afterward. To be honest, I have fought both the divine race and demon clan before; the strength of the divine race is not weak. At that time, I fear the demon clan would suffer heavy losses. I have said all I needed to say; I bid farewell today." After speaking, he commanded the undead army to slowly retreat.
However, the members of the demon clan did not pursue; they dared not chase. Now, the demon clan finally understood why the Demon Dragon King had always suppressed them, preventing them from easily attacking the Ark Continent. With Zhao Hai present, they had to think carefully before launching an offensive against the Ark Continent.
The Demon Dragon King watched Zhao Hai retreating and sighed. To be honest, he somewhat agreed with Zhao Hai's words. The Ark Continent was indeed remarkable but might not be suitable for the survival of the demon clan.
Why was the combat strength of the demon clan so strong? It was because they grew up in the demon realm, a harsh environment where if your strength wasn't formidable, you wouldn't survive; you would either become someone else's slave or food. In such circumstances, the members of the demon clan had no choice but to strive to enhance their own strength, which led to the formidable demon clan of today.
However, the Ark Continent was different. The environment here was too favorable, with food everywhere for the demon clan and far fewer dangers. Gradually, the members of the demon clan would undoubtedly become complacent. Would they still be the same demon clan then? It was hard to say.
