Chapter 467 The Demon Clan's Decision
As time went on, Qin Wu became completely absorbed in drawing upon the power of the soul.
Every wisp of soul power converged into the depths of his soul like a trickle, gradually making his originally somewhat ethereal soul more solid.
This change did not happen overnight, but was a slow but continuous process.
As his soul grew stronger, Qin Wu could clearly feel that he was becoming more and more adept at controlling his power.
Now, when faced with that terrifying demonic phantom again, he is no longer as panicked and helpless as he was before.
On the contrary, he seemed to be handling the demonic phantom with ease, as if everything was under his control.
Moreover, Qin Wu began to skillfully employ strategies to control the battle situation.
He intentionally controlled the power he was expending, appropriately weakening the demonic phantom's strength without causing it to dissipate immediately.
From the demons' perspective, it seems they are only one step away from successfully killing Qin Wu.
However, the truth is that Qin Wu is controlling the entire situation in an extremely secretive way.
In order not to arouse suspicion from the powerful figures in the Demon Realm, Qin Wu even went so far as to deliberately appear weak.
He would occasionally reveal some weaknesses, or at certain crucial moments slightly slow down the pace of his attacks, creating the illusion that he was about to be defeated.
These actions successfully misled the Demon Realm, making them firmly believe that with a little more effort, they could completely kill Qin Wu.
Thus, despite the stalemate, the powerful warriors of the Demon Realm gritted their teeth and persevered, unwilling to easily give up the victory that was within their grasp.
This is exactly the result that Qin Wu hoped to see.
He knew that only by making the other party mistakenly believe that victory was assured could he induce them to continuously invest more strength and energy.
As a result, the two sides remained deadlocked in this seemingly evenly matched contest.
Seeing the situation develop in the direction he had anticipated, Qin Wu couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.
He knew that as long as he remained calm and cautious, and continued to skillfully maneuver, victory would ultimately be his.
With that thought in mind, he took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and prepared for the even longer battle to come.
The demons gradually realized that something was wrong. They knew that if everything had gone smoothly, Qin Wu should have been dead long ago.
However, several months have passed since then, and they still have not been able to kill Qin Wu.
Even the most foolish person would probably be able to see that there is a significant problem here by this point.
As a result, the faces of the demons grew increasingly gloomy and ugly.
Among the crowd, the most powerful expert, who was at the late stage of the Demon Emperor realm, finally spoke slowly: "Everyone, in my opinion, we have probably fallen into the enemy's trap! That Divine Martial Emperor is not as easy to deal with as we initially thought."
As the patriarch of the most powerful Heavenly Demon Clan in the Demon Realm, this person holds an incomparably revered position and wields absolute and unshakeable authority within the entire Demon Clan.
As soon as he said these words, the others seemed to have found their leader and echoed his sentiments.
In fact, after these few months of arduous struggle, many people have already begun to consider giving up.
However, due to concerns about saving face and the enormous price paid in the past, no one has dared to bring it up first.
Now that even the highly respected Demon Clan Chief had spoken, those who were already hesitant could no longer hold back.
Of course, everyone knew very well that continuing this stalemate would not benefit the demons at all.
However, in just a few short months, they suffered extremely heavy losses.
If they gave up so easily, wouldn't all their previous efforts have been in vain? So, for a moment, the demons were caught in a dilemma.
Should they persist relentlessly until they finally succeed in killing the Divine Martial Emperor? Or should they make a decisive decision, abandon their current actions, and reconsider other more feasible strategies? This undoubtedly became a difficult problem that every member of the Demon Clan urgently needed to solve.
"Clan Chief of the Heavenly Demon Clan! The current situation is crystal clear. We have absolutely no chance of killing that Divine Martial Emperor in the short term. If we continue to hold out like this, the only outcome will be heavy casualties on our side!" The person who spoke was the clan chief of the second largest demon clan—the Earth Demon Clan. His strength and status at the scene were second only to the Heavenly Demon Clan Chief.
Although he was extremely unwilling to admit it, the reality before him left him no choice but to accept it.
Let's look at the current situation. How long can our few dozen people hold out?
The others were clearly nearing their limits; if they were to delay any longer, their cultivation foundations would likely suffer severe damage!
It's important to know that while this mysterious treasure is incredibly powerful, the price to be paid to successfully activate it is quite substantial.
Even beings like them, who are at the level of Demon Emperors, would find it difficult to maintain such a high level of exertion for an extended period of time.
Upon hearing this, the Demon Clan Chief hurriedly turned to look at the other powerful demons around him.
Sure enough, many people's faces had become extremely pale, even deathly pale and bloodless.
This shows that they were indeed running out of energy and could no longer hold on.
As for what the Earth Demon Chieftain said, the Heaven Demon Chieftain naturally understood it perfectly, knowing that what the other party said was by no means false.
This cruel reality weighed heavily on the heart of the Demon Clan Chief, leaving him no choice but to bravely confront and deal with it.
After a long and solemn period of contemplation, the Demon Clan Chief's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, as if he had already made up his mind.
Finally, he slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping firmly over the crowd, and said in a deep but authoritative voice, "Very well, since things have come to this, there's no point in saying more. Let's call it a day! Everyone, get to work immediately, make thorough preparations, and let's all withdraw!"
When the Demon Clan Chief's command resounded through the crowd like a thunderclap, everyone was stunned at first, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Their tense nerves instantly relaxed, and their faces showed expressions of relief.
The tense and suffocating atmosphere was now dispelled by a spring breeze, becoming much more relaxed.
After the Demon Clan Chief made that difficult decision with a solemn expression, everyone sprang into action and began preparing for the series of events that might follow.
It's important to understand that backing down at this point is by no means easy; it's not something they can simply do by talking about it.
Time was of the essence, but no one dared to slack off in the slightest, and everyone worked quickly and methodically.
Various mysterious magical lights flashed, and ancient incantations intertwined and danced in the air.
Before long, all the preparations were finally complete.
Everyone took a deep breath, focused their minds, and concentrated their power in one place, preparing to sever the connection with the terrifying demonic phantom deep within Qin Wu's soul in one fell swoop.
However, despite their best efforts, no one can guarantee that the process will be smooth sailing.
As for other aspects, they have been powerless to change anything since they made that decision.
All we can do is silently pray that this adventure will succeed, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
