Chapter 1025: Accepted!
"Old Demon Qingyang's strength is astonishing. His killing move's power was beyond expectations."
"Having taken that killing move head-on, this poor woman's strength is now only about seventy percent of what it was at her peak. At this point, we have no hope of victory."
"You two fellow daoists, it's time to stop."
As pinnacle true lords, and with the backing of divine transformation sects, Crimson Lizard Demon Lord had no misgivings. She bluntly stated her thoughts. Although she still had some hidden cards she had not used, the other three might not be without their own. She did not want to fight to the death regardless of the cost.
If all six of them fought here to the bitter end, and word even spread to tian nan about wiping out the "qingyun society" and these rebellious true lords, the demon race would probably laugh themselves sick.
With the immense power and influence of divine transformation sects, they naturally had to put the bigger picture first.
Since Blood Sea Demon Lord's threat was limited, Crimson Lizard Demon Lord felt that even if they lost this round and ceded some power to qingyun society, it would be fine.
The most important thing right now was to hold the front line and prevent the demon race from threatening Five Elements Pass. At worst, they could settle accounts after the war between humans and demons ended.
If an ordinary true lord surrendered, the demon race might even be willing to take them in as a lackey.
But the three divine transformation sects would never surrender, and the demon race would never accept them either.
Thus, everything had to be centered on the bigger picture. First, they had to withstand the demon race's pressure; this was the consensus of all three factions.
Trying to break through to divine transformation was no easy matter. It was very possible to die with the dao destroyed.
First, even if there was a chance, the probability of success was still low.
Second, even if they succeeded, the veteran divine sovereigns of the three factions had nothing to fear from newly promoted divine sovereigns.
And finally, the three great true lords believed that in terms of cultivation technique inheritance and cultivation resources, they far surpassed Liu Yu and the other two. Perhaps in the end, they would be the ones to advance instead?
Thus, in the eyes of ordinary true lords, the three divine transformation sects were dealing with something as grave as the heavens collapsing and shaking the very foundation of their sects. But in the eyes of pinnacle true lords, it was only so-so.
Jade does not clash with tiles.
Crimson Lizard Demon Lord understood her sect's ancestor. Since he would not want to see Five Elements Pass threatened by the demon race, it was almost impossible for him to make a direct move.
The eighty true lords of qingyun society were all absolutely top-tier combat power of the Human Race, and they could not be eradicated outright.
If the demon race were given an opening, they absolutely had the strength to swallow the entire tian nan cultivation world in one bite, without the slightest hesitation.
Compared to that, qingyun society was merely a small disturbance. The demon race's threat was far greater.
Under these circumstances, even if the other two sects' divine sovereigns wanted to act, their own ancestors would not agree.
Of course, the so-called "limited threat" and "putting the bigger picture of resisting the demon race first" were based on the fact that the news of Liu Yu possessing the spiritual treasure, the Sword of Ruin, had not yet been exposed.
If that news leaked, the temptation of a spiritual treasure would be enough to make divine sovereigns disregard everything.
Even if the fight went to the end and only one divine sovereign remained, as long as the spiritual treasure was still in hand, it would still be enough to make the demon race wary.
Because Blood Sea Demon Lord's potential was limited, Crimson Lizard Demon Lord, from the perspective of the Heavenly Fiend Sect, easily made the decision to admit defeat.
