The rise of a family, the Heavenly Evolution Divine Tree

On the vast, boundless battlefield, dust billowed and the shouts of battle were deafening. Several elite legions of the Zhao Kingdom, like tigers descending a mountain, aggressively penetrated deeper into the seemingly impregnable camp of the demon race. However, they were completely unaware that they had fallen into a meticulously crafted, enormous trap.

In an instant, the once peaceful land seemed to be torn apart, and countless demon soldiers hidden in the shadows surged out like a tidal wave. These demon soldiers all had ferocious expressions, wielding sharp weapons, and charged towards the Zhao army. Several Zhao legions were instantly surrounded and faced imminent annihilation.

But at this critical moment, something unexpected happened. The earth began to tremble violently, and a mysterious and powerful force suddenly surged forth from the ground. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the earth vein spiritual energy that the Zhao Kingdom had secretly planted here beforehand! This immense power acted like an indestructible shield, quickly enveloping the Zhao Kingdom's army and repelling wave after wave of fierce attacks from the demon soldiers.

It turned out that the Zhao Kingdom's high command had anticipated the potential for unforeseen circumstances in this battle and had therefore prepared comprehensive contingency plans. Now, protected by the earth's spiritual energy, the Zhao army's morale soared, and they regrouped, striving to break out of the encirclement. At the same time, the other Zhao armies seized the opportunity, accelerating their offensive and launching an even more ferocious attack on the demon race.

Faced with Zhao's sudden counterattack, the demon race was thrown into chaos. Under the Zhao army's relentless onslaught, they could only retreat step by step, unable to mount a resistance. In an instant, the tide of battle turned, and the Zhao army seemed to see the dawn of victory.

However, just as the Zhao army was overjoyed, believing the battle was about to end in their victory, a chilling, low roar suddenly echoed from the depths of the demon camp. Immediately afterwards, an extremely terrifying and powerful aura swept over them, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

Everyone looked up in astonishment, only to see a colossal nine-tailed fox, its body radiating eerie blue flames, slowly emerging from the depths of the demon realm. With each step the nine-tailed fox took, the ground beneath its feet blazed with fierce flames, as if threatening to devour the entire world. Its nine long tails lashed wildly through the air, like thunder and lightning from the heavens, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

This mysterious and terrifying behemoth is none other than the demon race's prized treasure—the Nine-Tailed Netherflame Fox! Legend has it that this beast possesses terrifying power capable of destroying the heavens and earth, and rarely appears in the world. Now, its appearance on this battlefield undoubtedly brings unprecedented pressure and challenges to the Zhao army…

The nine-tailed fox, radiating a mysterious aura, spoke in human language: "Despicable and shameless humans! How dare you bully our demon race like this! Your crimes are utterly heinous!" As soon as it finished speaking, its nine long, magnificent tails began to sway gently. In an instant, streaks of blue flame shot towards the Zhao army at astonishing speed, like arrows released from a bow.

Faced with this sudden attack, the highly respected old cultivator from Zhao dared not be negligent in the slightest. He quickly manipulated the magical artifact in his hand, attempting to resist the oncoming blue flames. However, the power of the flames was simply too great. Despite the old cultivator's best efforts, the light emitted by his magical artifact still flickered erratically, as if it would be swallowed up by the flames at any moment.

Meanwhile, the soldiers of Zhao did not sit idly by. They worked together in close coordination, with each legion unleashing its most powerful combat techniques. In an instant, countless dazzling rays of light intertwined, converging into an immense force that surged towards the Nine-Tailed Fox of Ghost Flame like a raging torrent.

Sensing the approaching immense power, the Nine-Tailed Fox of Ghost Flame's eyes sharpened, and the already raging flames on its body instantly intensified, resembling an erupting volcano. Thus, relying on its formidable strength, it forcefully repelled this wave of attack from the Zhao army.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the battlefield was extremely tense. Both the Zhao army and the demon army were engaged in a fierce and arduous battle. Blood gushed out continuously, quickly staining the vast land beneath their feet red.

On the battlefield between the Celestial Realm and the True Person Realm, the battle was exceptionally fierce, with neither side able to gain the upper hand. Experts from both sides exchanged blows, displaying a dazzling array of exquisite techniques. Below, on the battlefield between the Martial Realm and the Mortal Realm, the scene was even more gruesome. People fell every moment, highlighting the fragility of life here. Both the Zhao Kingdom's army and the demon army suffered heavy losses, with the number of casualties steadily rising.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate and the atmosphere reached its peak of tension, a young general named Lin Xiao suddenly stepped out from the Zhao army. At that moment, he radiated a strange light, attracting attention like the brightest star in the night sky.

Lin Xiao's hands moved swiftly, executing a series of complex hand gestures, like a graceful butterfly fluttering in the air. Simultaneously, he chanted incantations in a deep, rhythmic voice, like ancient spells echoing through the air. With each movement and incantation, mysterious runes gradually appeared around his body, shimmering with a faint yet chilling light.

In an instant, a vast and pure power surged forth from Lin Xiao's body like a raging torrent. This power was completely different from the spells cast by the others present. It seemed to contain the endless mysteries and powerful energy of heaven and earth, as if nature had specially endowed Lin Xiao with a weapon to fight against powerful enemies.

The ever-aggressive Nine-Tailed Fox of Ghost Flame keenly sensed the threat posed by this unusual power. It was forced to temporarily halt its frenzied attacks on the Zhao army, instead fixing its sharp, piercing gaze intently on Lin Xiao.

Facing such a terrifying enemy, Lin Xiao showed no fear whatsoever. He bravely met the Nine-Tailed Fox's sharp, murderous gaze, his pace quickening suddenly, and he sped towards the Nine-Tailed Fox like an arrow released from a bow.

As the distance between them closed, Lin Xiao unleashed all his power, fiercely attacking the Nine-Tailed Fox. Shockingly, his power easily pierced through the Nine-Tailed Fox's prized flame defense, striking its very body!

Struck by this sudden and devastating blow, the nine-tailed fox roared in agony, its voice echoing through the sky. Its massive body trembled with pain, clearly indicating that Lin Xiao's attack had caused it considerable damage.

This turn of events terrified the demon race, while the Zhao soldiers were as excited as if they'd been injected with adrenaline. Capitalizing on this momentum, the Zhao army launched a general offensive like tigers descending a mountain. The experts at the Celestial Realm level easily crushed the fourth-tier demons, while the experts at the True Person Realm level were equally relentless, relentlessly pursuing and killing them. The ground forces fought with even greater ferocity, and the demon army suffered a crushing defeat!

The Mysterious Winged Demon Lord spread his wings, stirring up gusts of wind; the Savage Demon Lord exuded a violent aura, like a moving mountain; and the Demon Spirit Demon Lord danced with strange hand seals, his demonic energy soaring into the sky. Seeing the unfavorable situation on the battlefield below and their own army retreating steadily, these three fourth-tier demon race members knew that defeat was inevitable.

They exchanged a glance and instantly reached a consensus—they must go all out to shake off their current opponent and buy time and space for the demon army below to retreat. Thus, the Mysterious Winged Demon Lord soared into the sky with lightning speed, attempting to break through the enemy's defenses; the Savage Demon Lord wielded his giant axe, each strike containing earth-shattering power; and the Demon Spirit Demon Lord chanted incantations, beams of black light shooting from his hands, aiming straight for the enemy's vitals.

However, would the powerful figures of Zhao Kingdom easily let these great demons go? Star God General Zhao Pingyang treads on starlight, his figure darting across the battlefield like a ghost, his spear like a dragon, constantly thrusting at the Xuan Yi Demon Lord; Xuan Kong God General Zhao Pingxu controls the power of the void, distorting the surrounding space and restricting the movements of the Manghuang Demon Lord; Yi Chen God General Zhao Yuanhan is as light as a swallow, his swordsmanship elegant and agile, his sword shadows overlapping, making it difficult for the Demon Spirit Demon Lord to defend himself; Qing Feng God General Zhao Pingxu's palm winds are fierce, sending sand and stones flying wherever he goes; Jiu Tian God General Zhao Pingyu summons the thunder of the nine heavens, his power terrifying; Yu Long God General Zhao Yuanxu even transforms into a white dragon, baring his fangs and claws as he pounces on the great demons who are trying to escape.

The two sides were locked in fierce combat, neither gaining the upper hand. Just then, some fourth-tier demon lords finally broke through the blockade of the Zhao Kingdom's celestial beings and descended onto the battlefield. Upon seeing this, the Zhao Kingdom's celestial realm experts felt a chill in their hearts. They knew that in the midst of the ground battle with the human army, continuing to attack the demon lords with all their might could easily result in friendly fire. Left with no other choice, they could only temporarily halt their offensive, trying to restrain these demon lords while waiting for a better opportunity.
