The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 606 Never Lose
Jiang Qiuyu was unable to warn Jiang Xuming in the Demon Ancestor's dojo; she could only watch helplessly as he took that step.

This child she loves most has taken the first step and started the first battle at this critical moment when demons are challenging her. Now, she will fight this battle with her own future!
boom!.

In the Daoist temple, the divine forms of the Great Void merged, and Jiang Xuming roared to the sky, his eyes turning into the color of nothingness, his whole body exuding an extraordinary and special aura.

As a top genius, not only does Chi Xu possess the ability of the Spirit Blood Demon Body, but the Jiang family also has it, and Jiang Xuming also has it!
Throughout the Demon Ancestor's dojo, immortal power suddenly surged outwards at an even faster speed.

A void power gradually eroded and enveloped the entire dojo, repelling the immortal power. Besides the immortal power, there were other powers in the world. Before the chaos collapsed and the immortal power was generated, there was a void power!
The God of the Void, however, wields that power of nothingness to create the Great Dao and forge his own path to becoming an emperor!
Each emperor has carved out a supreme path for this world, possessing his own imperial path and being a unique existence!
Therefore, the Great Emperor realm cannot be passed down or taught. One can only give one's own disciples opportunities and foundations to help them reach the pinnacle of Immortal King. After that, it depends on the disciple's fate.

"what?"

Chi Xu sensed the changes around him and was slightly taken aback. His Celestial Star Meridians were affected at this moment, and he was unable to draw power from the starlight.

While he was stunned, Jiang Xuming had already activated the myriad laws and used the power of nothingness to arrive in an instant, and the divine spear pierced towards him!

"The Great Void Dao has absolutely no gods!!"

Jiang Xuming growled, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

The immense spear intent was even stronger than before; it was not immortal power, but another kind of void power capable of swallowing everything.

Immortal arts would be instantly annihilated upon touching this spear intent. Chi Xu's power seemed to be stripped away. He watched helplessly as the spear pierced through him. Then, his expression finally changed at this moment, from surprise to shock and anger, followed by a strong killing intent in his eyes!
Bang!
A violent tremor resounded within the dojo, the collision of immortal power and void power like two stars crashing together, causing spacetime to distort slightly.

But the scene that people imagined—that Redbeard's body would shatter again—did not appear. Instead, a mountain of bloody, fleshy pulp appeared and sucked the divine spear into it.

"You deserve to die for pushing me to this point!"

Red Beard's voice was deep and resonant, like bones being ground together, giving one the feeling of goosebumps.

His entire body trembled violently, and the sky above the Demon Ancestor's dojo suddenly turned blood red.

His true power is not divine power, but his own blood power!
He cultivates by devouring all living beings. As long as he keeps devouring, he can continuously grow stronger. The more powerful the life and bloodline he devours, the faster he cultivates. He has an extremely top-tier bloodline among demons.

Bang!
As he spoke, the immense, ocean-like power of blood surged back suddenly. With just one shock, the void seemed to crack open, and Jiang Xuming's body was sent flying backward. His imperial aura seemed to have faded away.

"How can it be?!"

The Jiang family members were all shocked and incredulous.

Having merged with the Divine Law of the Great Void and mastered its power, he was defeated in the blink of an eye?!

At this moment, Jiang Xuming's power was already extremely terrifying. Ordinary Immortal Lords at the peak of their cultivation were no match for him. However, his peak attack failed to kill this Crimson Beard!
"Hmph, Red Beard is a monster that the Spirit Blood Clan sees only once every hundred thousand years. He is born with the ability to 'devour' all living beings. If he hadn't wanted to try to break through the extreme and final realms of each realm, with his nine hundred years of lifespan, he would have already reached the peak of the Immortal King realm!"

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man in purple robes couldn't help but sneer. If they weren't fully prepared, why would they come to human territory to seek advice?

Jiang Qiuyu's face turned ugly. She knew that Jiang Xuming had exhausted all his means.

Losing? If it were just losing, she would accept giving up a celestial city. But Jiang Xuming is very likely to perish. Such a prodigy is destined to become a peak celestial king in the future. It would be too much of a loss for him to perish here!
You must know, on the border battlefield, how many demons can a peak Immortal King kill? That's far more than a single Immortal City can compare to!
Although human life cannot be judged by this, that is the reality, bloody and brutal, and there will always be sacrifices and trade-offs!
"If that doesn't work, let Jiang Xuming admit defeat. The things we left there should be able to send the message to him."

Su Zhenyuan noticed Jiang Qiuyu's expression and his eyes changed slightly. Jiang Qiuyu was the person who knew Jiang Xuming best, and if she looked so upset, it meant that their chances of winning were slim!

Upon hearing Su Zhenyuan's telepathic message, Jiang Qiuyu hesitated for a moment. Seeing the renewed battle in the arena, with Jiang Xuming trapped in the overwhelming blood-red light and unable to break free even by activating the power of the Void, she gritted her teeth and agreed to Su Zhenyuan's words.

To prevent any accidents, they had laid a trap inside beforehand, which the demon could hardly detect.

Those hidden agents can transmit their voices to the battlefield and give commands at crucial moments. However, if there is a significant difference in strength, commanding the battle is useless. But in addition to commanding, they can also persuade others to surrender.

The sealing array and barrier isolated everything, and both sides were watching closely, so they couldn't do anything underhanded. In that case, they could only make Jiang Xuming admit defeat. As soon as he admitted defeat, they would immediately step in to protect him, which wouldn't be considered breaking the rules.

"Xu Ming, if you can't handle it, just admit defeat. We've lost this battle, as long as you're alright!"

Jiang Qiuyu quickly transmitted her voice.

Jiang Xuming, who was engaged in a fierce battle, was stunned when he heard his mother's voice. Before he could think, the attack from Chi Xu suddenly intensified and sent him flying with a bang, crashing into the sealing barrier.

Jiang Xuming felt that his entire Taixu Immortal Body was about to shatter. He gritted his teeth and stood up, glancing outside the barrier. He saw the tense and worried faces of the Jiang family members, as well as his mother's anxious eyes.

He felt as if all the blood in his body had been drained, a feeling he couldn't quite describe.

The sky was gray, as if the end of the world was approaching.

In this world, the cold wind is like a knife, scraping your bones and stinging your face.

He stood before hundreds of millions of people, his body broken and even disheveled.

Give up?

Jiang Xuming clenched his fists. He knew that the demons were coming to kill the human prodigies in this battle and would show no mercy. Once they got the chance, they would strike with deadly force.

But isn't he the same?

Jiang Xuming conceded defeat... He loosened his clenched fist and then gave his mother a relieved smile.

Jiang Qiuyu was slightly stunned when she saw that smile.

Then she saw Jiang Xuming raise his hand, cut a crack, and take out a bottle of pills from inside.

Jiang Qiuyu was stunned, her blood seemed to freeze. She hurriedly tried to call out, but Jiang Xuming had already tilted his head back and swallowed the pill without hesitation.

With a series of loud thuds, as if some kind of chain had been broken, Jiang Xuming's body burst into a blazing golden divine light. Then, this divine light turned into a chaotic void. His hair stood on end, his aura surged, and he rose to a level far exceeding his previous strength. Moreover, his cultivation level rose from the eighth level of the Immortal Lord Realm to the ninth level!
Bang!
The overwhelming surge of blood energy was shattered by a single shot.

Jiang Xuming raised his head, cracks appearing on his face, his Taixu Immortal Body on the verge of shattering.

That violent power made him feel an unprecedented and terrifying force.

kill!

Without hesitation, he roared and charged toward Redbeard.

Red Beard's pupils contracted slightly, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. But then, he let out an angry and ferocious roar, his blood energy surged, and black Dao patterns suddenly emerged from within, covering his entire body!
"Devouring the Dao Across the Eight Desolations!"

Upon seeing this scene, two of the demon prodigies showed surprise in their eyes and their expressions became extremely solemn.

They knew that Redbeard was using his strongest methods and his most powerful trump cards.

boom!
The dojo trembled, and Jiang Xuming, whose aura surged, merged with his own Dharma form, his giant spear sweeping across the sky as he plunged into the sea of ​​blood.

One by one, the eight pitch-black chains within the sea of ​​blood snapped, and then a terrifying aura was released.

Su Zhenyuan, Jiang Qiuyu, and the others couldn't help but change color.

"Xu Ming!"

Jiang Qiuyu's eyes were filled with tears of blood, and her aura surged and flickered. Various strange phenomena appeared around her body, turning it into a terrifying forbidden zone.

A cracking sound rang out, and from the sea of ​​blood, the figure of the red-bearded man suddenly appeared. This time, however, it was not a bloody mess, but a humanoid figure covered in sharp thorns and bloody brambles. In his thorny hands, he tightly gripped a figure, which was none other than Jiang Xuming!
The divine spear in Jiang Xuming's hand was broken, its light gone, and his immortal body was shattered and covered in cracks. He kept releasing immortal techniques and hitting his opponent, but he could not break free. Instead, his own aura was constantly weakening, being transferred and absorbed.

"You deserve to die for driving me to this state!"

Redbeard growled, his voice filled with ferocity and killing intent.

Suddenly, he thought of something, turned his head to look outside the Demon Ancestor's dojo, and then grinned, revealing a big, ferocious smile. Then, his head suddenly grew larger and he bit off half of Jiang Xuming's body.

At this moment, the world seemed to fall silent. All 36,000 immortal cities were completely silent, as if speechless, staring blankly at this scene.

Only in that dojo did the sound of constant chewing echo.

"Although it was over-consumed, the taste was still acceptable."

Redbeard made his own assessment, then looked at the still struggling half-dead body, his palms covered in blood.

"Admit defeat quickly!" Jiang Qiuyu couldn't bear the risk and angrily transmitted her voice.

Jiang Xuming's primordial spirit had already broken free and moved aside. Looking at the demon that was devouring his immortal body, he roared. Three hundred golden bones in his primordial spirit shone brightly at the same time, burning with scorching light. Then, like a meteorite, he rushed towards Chi Xu.

He was determined to exhaust all his spiritual power and perish together with his opponent.

This power was extremely terrifying, and Chi Xu had no choice but to stop what he was doing and look at it solemnly. Then he activated his blood technique one after another, and terrifying spikes shot out, attacking Jiang Xuming's primordial spirit and continuously depleting his strength.

Since the end of the ancient war between demons and humans, both races have been diligently studying and cultivating immortal techniques and killing moves targeting the primordial spirit. This is why, even 100,000 years later, the core area of ​​the True Realm is still home to all races. After a long war, famous generals will inevitably emerge, and the cultivation methods of each race have become more focused on the primordial spirit.

However, cultivating the primordial spirit is even more difficult than cultivating a realm.

Even with amazing comprehension, one can only slightly speed things up; sudden enlightenment cannot completely solve the problem. One still needs to rely on the gradual accumulation and refinement over time.

Therefore, top geniuses like Jiang Xuming, who can cultivate three hundred Yuan Shen Golden Bones within a thousand years, already possess extraordinary comprehension.

Bang! !

Suddenly, a black cauldron shot out from the sea of ​​blood and crashed into Jiang Xuming's primordial spirit.

A tremendous roar resounded, extinguishing Jiang Xuming's primordial spirit's golden flames. He was dazed and confused, and collapsed on the spot.

The black cauldron was turned upside down, enveloping it. Then, the Crimson Beard began to devour the immortal body. After it finished, it came to the front of the black cauldron and released its blood power into it, which turned into crimson blood flames that burned continuously.

The black cauldron was sealed by the power of a pseudo-realm, blocking Jiang Xuming's screams and sounds. However, everyone could see that Jiang Xuming's primordial spirit was struggling and howling in pain as it was burned by the blood flames of the black cauldron. His whole body began to melt like a candle.

The pain of the primordial spirit is ten or a hundred times that of the immortal body. At this moment, being sacrificed alive, everyone can imagine how painful and miserable this is!

"Make him admit defeat! Make him admit defeat!"

"We've lost, but we can't let him die!"

In each immortal city, countless people were anxious, wishing they could be there in person.

Outside the dojo, the Jiang family members clenched their fists and gritted their teeth. Those who were close to them had just been unable to hold back and wanted to shout for Jiang Xuming to admit defeat. Although they knew that their voices could not be heard into the dojo, they still couldn't help but shout.

However, before anyone could open their mouth, Jiang Qiuyu had already sent a telepathic message, preventing everyone from speaking to persuade them to surrender.

She was in great pain, more so than anyone else, yet at the same time, she was calmer than anyone else. Defeat was inevitable, death was certain. Their desperate cries for surrender would only become a laughingstock in the mouths of demons, eroding the morale of the human race.

The demons and monsters were also watching this battle, as were the 36,000 immortal cities. The Jiang family lost, but the Jiang family cannot be afraid of losing!
“Xu Ming…”

Jiang Qiuyu gritted her teeth. In the tens of thousands of years since she took over as the head of the family, too many of the Jiang family's prodigies have perished during her tenure, including her elder brother, younger brother, and parents... It wasn't that she was incompetent, but that wars were too frequent and the human race was too weak!
Now, seeing her child fall before her eyes again, her heart is still breaking.

Why be so foolish? Why not admit defeat? Why fight so hard...? These painful echoes resonated in her heart, but she knew the answer: because Jiang Xuming's surname was Jiang.

He also wanted to slay demons and monsters!

“Jiang Xuming…”

The Su and Lin families, Su Muqing and Lin Jinrou, and others watched this scene silently, their eyes filled with grief, shock, determination, and intense killing intent.

Jiang Xuming was defeated, he lost, and he didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy and admit defeat. He was facing death. But his opponent had a chance to admit defeat earlier. However, his opponent wanted to burn his primordial spirit and take a gamble!
In this defeated battle, he, as the vanguard of the human race, failed to secure a victory, but his burning fighting spirit, ready to die, ignited everyone at this moment.

You can lose, you can die, but you cannot retreat!

"These are the top talents of your human race?"

Red Beard had been used to sacrifice Jiang Xuming, and his body had already transformed back into his previous human form. He smiled coldly and looked around the sealing barrier. Sounds from outside could not get in, but sounds from inside could get out.

He chuckled softly, "The taste is quite good, but unfortunately, it's nothing special..."

As soon as he said this, all the demon races in the demon realm cheered and called out the name of Redbeard.

"The Crimson God is invincible!"

"The Spiritblood Clan is the strongest!"

Countless demons were shouting, making excited and excited noises.

Meanwhile, in the 36,000 immortal cities of Gusu Imperial Star, the anxious, questioning, and fearful voices, as they watched the black cauldron being refined alive until its primordial spirit gradually extinguished, finally fell into a deathly silence.

No one expected that such an amazing, monstrous genius would perish here, and die such a tragic death!

In that oppressive and somber atmosphere, someone took the lead and a voice rang out.

"It's just the first battle, what's there to be afraid of? We can fight our way back!"

"That must be the strongest among the demons. We still have the Su family's True Phoenix to make a move, and the Lin family's Imperial Prince!"

"Yes, we can't be discouraged. He has a bright future ahead of him. He fought for us and he didn't give up. How can we give up?"

In each immortal city, roars of grief and anger erupted once again, with countless people united in their hatred of the enemy.

Meanwhile, in the Demon Ancestor's dojo, Chi Xu had already put away the Black Cauldron, and Jiang Xuming had perished in full view of everyone.

In this first battle, the demons won!
"It seems you have no intention of sending the top talents of the human race. I've heard there's a Lin family imperial prince and a Su family true phoenix. Would they be willing to participate in the battle?"

The middle-aged man in purple robes chuckled, but his voice traveled through the boundary stone, reaching both the human and demon realms.

Lin Daogong stared at him with deep eyes and said, "What, are you worried that we will back down? You're overthinking it. Even if we are to die, our human race will never back down!"

His words seemed to be speaking on behalf of the deceased Jiang Xuming.

Countless humans roared in fury, their voices shaking the heavens and echoing across the entire star!

That's right, even if it means facing death, we will never back down!
The Northern Human Race is not like other territories where they are a disorganized mess. Having experienced countless battles with demons here, the Human Race has long seen through and understood the nature of demons. They know that even if they surrender, they will only become currency in the hands of demons. When they face a desperate situation together, that is when they collectively unleash their greatest courage!

"That's good, but don't let it scare you away."

The middle-aged man in purple robes chuckled. He was indeed worried that Chi Xu's performance might discourage the human side, leading them to send only some insignificant people to deal with the matter perfunctorily.

Rather than killing one human prodigy, what he wanted was to annihilate all the human prodigies of this generation!
"who is the next?"

At this moment, in the Demon Ancestor's dojo, Red Beard spoke, a cold smile on his lips, as he glanced outwards.

Upon hearing this, the previously angry crowd's expressions changed.

The other side has no intention of backing down and wants to continue fighting?!
For a moment, the faces of the Jiang family, the Su family, the Lin family, and the other prominent families' prodigies all turned ugly, filled with shock, anger, and indignation.

Su Zhenyuan, Jiang Qiuyu, and the others remained silent; the previous rules had not prevented anyone from continuing the fight.

The enemy brought twenty men; fight until they are all defeated!

However, given Chi Xu's performance—even Jiang Xuming was suppressed and slaughtered, and he was defeated despite taking elixirs to boost his immortal power and realm—who will step in second? Who has a sure chance of victory?

All eyes turned to Su Muqing, Lin Jinrou from the Lin family, and a few other young people from the Lin family.

These individuals were the most renowned among the prodigies present, with Su Muqing being the most famous.

Sending others to fight would only be suicide; only they have the strength to fight.

Even Lin Jinrou is somewhat lacking and may not be a match for her. All things considered, it seems that only Su Muqing is a worthy opponent.

Su Zhenyuan's face darkened, and he ordered his daughter, Su Muqing, to take action immediately.
