Chapter 98: Revolt against the Heavens: Battle of the Nine Serenities (3)

As the chaos of the battle unfolded, the sudden intrusion of a Ninth Stage Demon of the Nine Serenities disrupted the intense clash between White and Fat Ball. The demon's voice rang out, filled with urgency and alarm, as he shouted, "THE NINE SERENITIES ARE UNDER ATTACK!"

As the Ninth Stage Demon of the Nine Serenities delivered his alarming message, his voice was abruptly cut off by the sheer force of the rulers' clash. The immense power radiating from White and Fat Ball annihilated the demon, reducing him to mere ashes. The battle between the two rulers remained unyielding, their focus unbroken by the interruption.

Amidst the lingering aftermath, White turned his attention to Fat Ball, a sardonic smile playing at the corners of his lips. "Oh, someone finally delivered this message to you," he mocked, his voice laced with amusement.

Fat Ball's metallic form quivered with a mixture of anger and frustration. "White!" he bellowed, his voice reverberating with a hint of desperation. "Do you have nothing better to do than to mock me at a time like this?"

White's eyes gleamed with a mischievous glint. "Well, Fat Ball, when you keep screaming my name every time we cross paths, it's hard not to be amused. It's become a predictable pattern, hasn't it? You scream, and then you die." He chuckled, relishing in Fat Ball's exasperation.

Fat Ball's form shifted, his liquid metal body pulsating with renewed intensity. "Enough with your mockery, White! I will not be defeated by your treacherous tricks again!" He launched himself at White, his attacks fueled by a renewed surge of determination.

White sidestepped the onslaught with fluid grace, his movements a dance of evasion. "Treacherous tricks?" he retorted, his voice dripping with amusement. "It's not my fault if you never learn from your mistakes, Fat Ball. Perhaps you should consider a change in strategy?"

The words struck a nerve, further enraging Fat Ball. "I don't need your advice, White!" he roared, his attacks intensifying in ferocity. "I will crush you and prove once and for all that I am the superior ruler of the Nine Serenities!"

Looking at the endless flood of demons, the cultivators of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms all felt a tingle creep across their scalps.

A great number of powerful influences had gathered in the coalition. But if compared to the Nine Serenities then they were worse by one level, when it came to the overall quantity. However they were lacking in quality.

The number of the demons wasn't something that the cultivators of All Heavens and Myriad Realms could compare with. After all, the Nine Serenities are the counterpart to the entire present world, not just the cultivators.

"What do we do!?"

A newly-promoted Eternal Life Being worriedly said. When facing the demon legions, no one was able to maintain their calm.

This was the bloodthirsty and cruel demon race, a race that would even eat them alive!

"There is no escape route for us. We can only bet our lives on this final battle!" Screamed one of the various sect leaders.

"Let's fight to the death!" said a Tribulation Immortal from Ruism.

"Killing one is enough, killing two is a gain!"

Facing the demon army of the Nine Serenities, the cultivators didn't feel dispirited at all. Instead, on the border of death, many of them were filled with bravery.

Since they had no road to escape, they might as well risk their lives in this one final battle!

"What fearless and stupid people..."

A hoarse voice echoed out. Amongst the demon army of the Nine Serenities, an old demon covered with black scales coldly sneered. "The years are heartless and there is no race capable of withstanding the passing of time."

"You have already lost this battle. Hand over the Holy Man and recognize my demon race as your lord and master and we might forgive you and allow you your lives." Another old demon spoke up, he too was one of the numerous Tribulation Immortals on the side of the demon army.

The Eternal Life Beings stepped forwards, facing the two upper Tribulation Immortal level demons.

In a great war, the difference in the number of highest level forces was extremely important. If each Eternal Life Being were to match up against ten Tribulation Immortals, then the fight could be dragged on for a long time. But if there was an Eternal Life Being or Tribulation Immortal that didn't have an opponent, then they would be free to deal with the lower levels. If that occurred, it would be a slaughter.

Although the cultivators were inferior in quantity, the demons did not have a single Eternal Life Being on their side.

On top of that Fat Ball only has control over half of the Nine Serenities and therefore only half the forces of the Nine Serenities obey his command.

Meanwhile the gathered cultivators amount roughly to ⅕ of the present worlds forces, all of whom are superior to a regular demon in technique.

"I can see that this coalition has a considerable number of masters!" A high level demon cackled. At this time, the entire force of the Eight Ruler had poured forth with their full strength. Besides the numerous Tribulation Immortals, there were even more Sages.

As for the Coalition of Cultivators, they had many Eternal Life Beings, each able to easily match up to five Tribulation Immortals of the demons, while most are even able to simultaneously fight ten.

Before the demon army of billions, the Holy Man stood alone.

Eternal Life Beings on the level of the Holy Man it did not matter if they fought ten or fifty. The power of these weaklings simple could not stop him, over 100 demons of the Tribulation Immortal level were required to keep him in check without suffering any losses.

His gaze was cold and sharp. He grasped a deep blue sword, killing intent flooding out from his eyes!

"You..." The demon's highest elder narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Holy Man.

"You bunch of ants. Since you want to die then you can all die here together!"

The Ruism Lineage that followed the Holy Man were basically all once at the mercy of the Nine Serenities. No matter how diligently these people trained it would be impossible for them to reach the level of the Nine Serenities.

Facing the army of the Nine Serenities, they couldn't play much of a role at all, or at least so the demons of the Nine Serenities thought.

"There really are so many people that want to die. Since all of you are so obstinate then you can all go to hell together today!"

The demon's Tribulation Immortals all moved towards the front of the demon army. About a third of them were however stopped by the Holy Man.

The cultivators of the present world had less than half the number of Tribulation Immortals and the difference in Sages was even greater. But, they had Eternal Life Beings, making them equally matched, at least among the top powers.

Among those with lower strength the disparity was massive!

Although those of lower level didn't have any power to resist those of higher level, if several thousands and hundreds of them were to join together in a great battle formation, their combat strength could not be underestimated.

In this sort of situation, if the cultivators from All Heavens and Myriad Realms were to battle the Nine Serenities, the result could be imagined.

They however only needed to endure until their other forces crashed the Heavenly Way. Once this was achieved their allies will open a space portal, allowing them to escape.

"Kill them all!" screamed the Holy Man, after all he wanted to get rid of Fat Balls influence in the Nine Serenities once and for all. For far too long had they harassed his beloved lineage.

"Trample flat the invaders!" could be heard from the side of the demons.
