Chapter 420: A Sword Illuminating the Heavens, Immortal Execution!

Just as Li Hao left the Immortal God Ruins, stealthily slipping out of the Divine Sun,

the Various Heavens outside were already in chaos.

That True Immortal Ancient Demon had invaded the Silver Rainbow Small World, devouring the souls of divine dynasties and trampling sacred grounds. Many Dao Hearing Realm experts from other divine dynasties, upon receiving the news, fled in droves, escaping this small world.

The True Immortal Ancient Demon paid no heed to these escapees. In its eyes, the entire Various Heavens was its hunting ground, and these insects had nowhere to run.

Even if they fled elsewhere, it was merely delaying their deaths. Before it lay a feast rich enough for its enjoyment.

Those Dao Hearing Realm experts who escaped immediately spread news of the Silver Rainbow Small World throughout the Heavens.

The Heavens trembled, and all major powers were shaken. They frantically contacted the Sages of the Sacred Grounds, only to discover that the Sages of the Heavenly Sacred Grounds had all vanished without a trace.

This made many powers sense something ominous, smelling a strong sense of unease.

They rushed to form alliances, organizing manpower, preparing to resist the Ancient Demon.

Although it might not be effective, they couldn't simply sit idly by and wait for death.

Realm Stones flickered everywhere, and the various small worlds became united as never before. Many previously hostile divine dynasties immediately signed ceasefire agreements, personally signed by their Emperors. Subsequently, armies crossed borders, contacting other forces and divine dynasties.

In just one day, the Silver Rainbow Small World was devoured and wiped clean by the True Immortal Ancient Demon.

Inside, only empty shells of corpses remained, or those who had fled in advance. The entire small world became deathly silent.

The True Immortal Ancient Demon then arrived at the adjacent Frost Snow Small World.

These small worlds were its hunting pastures.

It leisurely strolled, not in the slightest hurry. It would devour this entire world, then go search for the Immortal Emperor's treasure, as the Commander had speculated.

By then, perhaps it could also advance and transform into a Commander. If that happened, the Immortal Emperor's treasure it obtained might not need to be handed over.

At this time, many powerful figures in the Frost Snow Small World had already fled. But even more common people were too late to escape, and were waiting for death in despair.

Apart from humans, other races within the small world, beasts and insects, were the same. The True Immortal Ancient Demon was the enemy of all races. In the True Realm, it had swept across all races. Now, towards these dragons, snakes, worms and ants, it naturally felt no pity.

Seeing another small world fall, and the Sages still not appearing, the Various Heavens felt somewhat despairing. However, more people sounded the horn of counterattack, forming alliances. Half-Sages gathered, convening a Demon-Slaying Conference. Many Emperors of divine dynasties, and ancient hidden old Half-Sages, also participated.

In this catastrophe, they chose to fight back, to sacrifice a portion of people to attract the Ancient Demon's attention, while transferring another portion to find safe places.

At this moment, inside the Demon-Slaying Alliance Conference.

This was a hidden location, extremely spacious. Nearly a thousand Half-Sages stood within it. These were almost all the Half-Sages remaining in the Various Heavens, practically all of them had arrived.

Besides Half-Sages, many powerful Dao Hearing Realm experts, sect leaders of major forces, Emperors of divine dynasties, and other top-tier figures of the Heavens, had also come to this place.

The atmosphere on site was solemn and grave, filled with肃杀 [sù shā – solemn and murderous aura] and seriousness.

"The Sages have disappeared, a great calamity has descended. This is the greatest natural disaster since time immemorial, the invasion of Ancient Demons from beyond the heavens!"

"We martial practitioners, who have cultivated until now, it is time to establish destiny for all living beings!"

"This Demon-Slaying Alliance First Legion, will be composed of the Heaven Frost Divine Dynasty, Golden Pool Divine Dynasty, Burning Dance Divine Dynasty… and your three hundred Half-Sages as legion commanders, forming an army."

"The commander will be Ancestor Mu. He once condensed the Sage Dao, but was defeated in debates. However, he is familiar with the Military Sage, and has sparred with the Battle Sage. In combat strategy, he is definitely qualified to take on this role!"

"This Second Legion, will be composed of your Heaven Feather Divine Dynasty, Dark Night Divine Dynasty, Spirit Tide Divine Dynasty…"

During the conference, as discussions proceeded, armies were formed, and rights and responsibilities were divided.

The forces of the Heavens united at this moment, striving for survival together.

"Merely our alliance may not be able to slay this demon. The Haotian Honored One blocked the Immortal Gate for twelve years, and the Sages lured this demon here, but now they have disappeared. Even the Sages could not defeat it. Even with more of us, it is just throwing away our lives for nothing!"

Someone spoke. These words were like pouring cold water, but no one denied it, as it was the truth.

The person who spoke paused, then said in a deep voice:

"Sacrifice, I am not afraid. But the sacrifice must be worthwhile! Even if we all perish, we must make this Ancient Demon pay the price it deserves!"

"We cannot foolishly fight it head-on. We must utilize other advantages. We are familiar with this place. Do you all remember, within the Various Heavens, there are many forbidden areas, places that are extremely dangerous!"

Hearing his words, the eyes of many Half-Sages present lit up.

Forbidden areas!

Within the Various Heavens, there were many dangerous places that made people hesitant to approach. Some places, even Sages were unwilling to easily venture into.

And these forbidden areas, based on their level of danger, had long been graded and ranked by those who were interested.

Among them, the Divine Sun could only be ranked fifth among the forbidden areas!

"Forbidden areas ranked in the top seven, even Sages will encounter danger within them. This was personally said by my master."

"The Nine Nether Regions, ranked third among forbidden areas, was where the Demon King was sealed back then."

"If that Demon King could break free, this Ancient Demon should be able to as well. The Nine Nether Regions is not a viable option."

"The second forbidden area, the Sky Net Palace. Legend says that provoking it leads to certain death. As long as you see the ancient palace standing in the forbidden area, you will surely die within seven days!"

"That's right. According to records, three Sages have perished due to the curse of the Sky Net Palace. It is said that once you see the main body of the Sky Net Palace, even if you leave the forbidden area, you will still occasionally see the Sky Net Palace floating before your eyes. Then, terrifying things will happen. No one knows what will happen before death, but everyone who has seen the Sky Net Palace will die within seven days, even Sages are no exception!"

"The first forbidden area, the Double Rift Demon Valley!"

"The surrounding area even suppresses the energy of heaven and earth. Falling into the Double Rift Demon Valley, no one has ever returned alive. A Supreme Sage once disappeared there."

The forbidden areas ranked in the top three were extremely dangerous. The third ranked Nine Nether Regions, although not necessarily effective against the Ancient Demon, had sealed a Demon King comparable to the Origin Ancestor for countless years, demonstrating its terror.

"I suggest, the First Demon-Slaying Legion, lure that Ancient Demon to the Sky Net Palace forbidden area. If the Sky Net Palace forbidden area cannot slay that Ancient Demon, the Second Legion will fight that Ancient Demon in the Double Rift Demon Valley. We will all go as well. If the Double Rift Demon Valley still doesn't work…"

"Then there will be no chance to kill this Ancient Demon. But we can't let it have an easy time either. The Third and Fourth Legions will continue to circle around the Ancient Demon in the third and fourth ranked forbidden areas, making it suffer even in death!"

In this desperate situation, although everyone felt despair, it also ignited the courage to fight back.

Soon, after discussing strategic deployments, they immediately took action.

After all, the Ancient Demon was slaughtering every moment, countless civilians were perishing. They knew that this Ancient Demon would not leave just because it was full. It would definitely harm the entire Heavens. The sooner they counterattacked, the more power they could gather.

"Report!"

Suddenly, an urgent report came from the conference.

"We just received news, new Ancient Demons are pouring out of the Immortal Gate, in the South Proud Small World!"

"Ancient Demons have also appeared in the Heavenly Chen Small World, and it's not just one!"

Hearing this devastating news, the faces of everyone in the Demon-Slaying Alliance changed, becoming unsightly.

Clearly, with the Sages gone, the breach in the Immortal Gate was unguarded, and only more Ancient Demons would arrive.

And each of these Ancient Demons was enough to sweep across a small world, with no one able to stop them!

If more and more came, the rate of the Heavens falling would accelerate. It was estimated that in just half a month, the entire thirty-three Heavens might fall, becoming a desolate wasteland!

"We must change our strategy!"

Ancestor Mu, commander of the First Demon-Slaying Legion, looked grim. There was no time for them to grieve at this moment. Time was too tight.

Every moment, more Ancient Demons would continue to drill through the Immortal Gate and descend into this world.

"Peacock Divine Dynasty, Coiled Dragon Divine Dynasty, Jade Leaf Divine Dynasty…"

Ancestor Mu selected ten divine dynasty combat teams from the First Legion. Each team had one hundred thousand martial practitioners, all in the Four Realms.

As the First Legion, the top combat forces of all factions were gathered here.

These divine dynasties, such as the Peacock Divine Dynasty and the Coiled Dragon Divine Dynasty, were all demon and monster forces. Although ostracized by the human race, they were also uniting into armies at this moment.

After all, demons and monsters had given birth to Supreme Sages, earning them a place in the Heavens.

Such as the Hun Tian Sage, and the Dragon Sage.

"You will go to attract that Ancient Demon from the Frost Snow World. This Ancient Demon is the largest in size, the most terrifying. Lure it to the Sky Net Palace forbidden area!"

"In this battle, you will die!"

Ancestor Mu's eyes were sharp and resolute as he scanned the Emperor leaders of the ten combat teams, and said solemnly: "When this battle ends, if the Heavens still exist, your descendants, for thousands of generations, will receive the highest privileges of the human race. If we fail, we will also follow you all, going to the Yellow Springs together to drink!"

"Everyone, do you have the courage to face death?!"

Accompanying his roar, everyone fell silent, and no one responded.

They were temporarily assembled. If not for the Heavens falling into a desperate situation, with the Ancient Demon sweeping across the Heavens, they wouldn't have come here to form an alliance.

Face death? They were all afraid of death.

However, in the current situation, they had to choose sacrifice, to go to the death in a decisive battle!

Although there was no loud response, determination was revealed in everyone's eyes. What the future held, they couldn't foresee. They knew, if they couldn't overcome the present, there would be no future.

"Depart!"

Ancestor Mu loudly proclaimed.

The ten combat teams selected immediately became bait to attract the True Immortal Ancient Demon.

Subsequently, Ancestor Mu led the First Legion to other worlds, preparing to lure the Ancient Demons in other worlds to the Sky Net Palace forbidden area as well.

Using the curse-like, strange ability of the Sky Net Palace to kill them.

As the Demon-Slaying Alliance took action, soon, the selected combat teams arrived in the Frost Snow Small World.

At this moment, the Frost Snow Small World had become quiet. Many cities were deathly silent, only empty shells remained.

The snakes, insects, beasts and animals on the ground were also the same.

The True Immortal Ancient Demon yawned, preparing to devour this last cluster of ants, and then proceed to the next small world.

Suddenly, a group of figures with thick auras appeared in the void.

It glanced at them, and immediately sensed a group of robust ants. Their taste would be slightly more delightful.

Coming to counterattack?

A mocking sneer appeared in the True Immortal Ancient Demon's eyes. Its figure flickered and appeared in the sky, arriving before this group of humans.

Hiss!

It opened its mouth and gently inhaled, and countless souls left their bodies, flying into its mouth.

Those Four Realms experts who had come to lure it, before they could even react to what was happening, their bodies fell vertically downwards.

At this time, the True Immortal Ancient Demon sensed that there was another group in the distance, also slowly heading towards this place.

It was intrigued, and flew towards that direction.

Flying and eating along the way.

Large numbers of Four Realms experts perished. In a very distant place, in a void, was the Sky Net Palace forbidden area.

Outside the forbidden area, a group of figures stood here, constantly communicating with the teams ahead.

They could not monitor the True Immortal Ancient Demon's movements. In fact, they judged that in front of this Ancient Demon, they wouldn't even have a chance to ask for help or transmit messages.

But they were clever. They devised a method, which was to judge the Ancient Demon's location through continuous communication.

If communication was interrupted, it meant that the people there had sacrificed themselves.

And they had previously divided the ten combat teams, millions of Four Realms experts, like relay batons, into small combat teams, letting the Ancient Demon kill its way over.

Using their blood and souls as bait, paving a road leading to this forbidden area!

Tragic, heroic. This was an unprecedented scene. Millions of Four Realms experts as bait, sacrificing themselves in vain, only to lure the Ancient Demon to this place.

When this battle ended, if the human race of the Heavens still existed, this matter would surely be recorded in history, becoming the most tragic and heroic battle of the human race!

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"It's getting closer and closer!"

Through the continuously interrupted communications, the people at this forbidden area felt both joy and grief. They knew the Ancient Demon was coming, but they also knew that the people scattered in relays ahead had all sacrificed themselves!

The people remaining here were all small team leaders from the combat teams, all Dao Hearing Realm experts. They knew that they would be even more delicious food in the eyes of the Ancient Demon. Therefore, they wanted to use this point to lure this Ancient Demon into the forbidden area, to make it step inside.

The Ancient Demon would not know the strangeness of the Sky Net Palace, and would definitely glance at it unconsciously. As long as it glanced at it, something would happen!

At first, no one knew of the danger of the Sky Net Palace forbidden area. But as more and more people were afflicted, this matter was spread.

Whoosh!

In the void, a figure suddenly descended. The massive shadow, the terrifying pressure, made everyone outside the forbidden area hold their breath.

It was too sudden. A behemoth, carrying an awe-inspiring and indescribable pressure, just descended before their eyes.

At this moment, they suddenly felt that the previous decision was so correct. In front of such a monster, they couldn't even send out a distress signal.

And at this time, as the True Immortal Ancient Demon arrived at this place, it suddenly sensed something, and raised its head to look towards the distance.

Its scarlet eyes immediately saw a strange palace in the void, emitting a silvery-white light all over, like a phantom, standing there.

When it saw the palace, the palace seemed to flash with silver light.

Immediately afterwards, the True Immortal Ancient Demon suddenly felt a force of Immortal Law invading. Its face changed drastically. That feeling was like facing a Commander!

It hurriedly retracted its gaze, but the Immortal Law had already locked onto it, acting on its body. Even if it turned its gaze away, looking elsewhere, a silver palace actually also appeared elsewhere, but it seemed illusory, not as real as the one it saw earlier.

But strangely, the gate of that palace seemed to have slightly cracked open a gap!

The True Immortal Ancient Demon instantly flew into a rage. It realized it had been tricked. This must be a treasure of Immortal Lord level, possessing Immortal Dao Laws. If it wanted to break free, it wasn't impossible, but it would need to pay a considerable price, and would get injured.

It was actually calculated by a group of ants!

Having eaten its way here, it had already smelled that this group of ants seemed to be playing some tricks, but it was unafraid. Even the strongest in this world had fled before it. Such a great battle, it had appeared for so long, and no True Immortals of the same realm had come. This indicated that there were no Immortals in this world. Even if there were, it was not afraid.

Roar!

The True Immortal Ancient Demon was furious. It suddenly stirred its power, and a strong swallowing force enveloped the area, instantly sucking out the divine souls of the many Dao Hearing Realm experts outside the forbidden area who had just shown a hint of joy, directly swallowing them.

Then, it turned around and left this place. That palace was most likely an Immortal Lord treasure. From the projection, it had felt the threat, indicating that this item was not so easy to subdue.

After it had devoured everything here, coming to collect it wouldn't be too late. This time being tricked had also made it aware of an Immortal God treasure.

Within this pseudo-world left behind by the Immortal Emperor, there were indeed some treasures.

Having been tricked this time, it put away its leisurely thoughts. Immortal power spread, it suddenly sped up, rushing to track down the clues in the void.

It was going to wipe out all the racial leaders in this place, and then slowly enjoy itself.

Soon, it captured a faint trace, and followed that trace to search.

Before long, in an extremely hidden void rift, it found a palace.

There, it sensed the aura of a Sage.

Hiding here… The True Immortal Ancient Demon slightly grinned, and instantly rushed in.

And the palace hidden in this rift was precisely the Qian Luo Palace, one of the three major void forces. They had not participated in the Sages' actions to stop the Immortal Gate, nor had they tried to rescue the civilians of the small worlds. Instead, they chose to look after themselves, finding a hidden place to hide.

If this Ancient Demon could be resolved, Qian Luo Palace wouldn't be needed. If it couldn't be resolved, they could still survive. This was the thought of the Qian Luo Palace Supreme Sage.

But at this moment, with the True Immortal Ancient Demon barging in, the entire Qian Luo Palace was shocked, falling into chaos and panic.

Screams and wails rose, and many Qian Luo Palace disciples perished one after another.

Before long, the hiding place of Qian Luo Palace was left with only a dilapidated palace building.

The Palace Lord of Qian Luo Palace, his primordial spirit devoured, his body was also chewed up and eaten as snacks by the True Immortal Ancient Demon.

Several days later.

The True Immortal Ancient Demon found the headquarters of the Demon-Slaying Alliance, which was located outside the Double Rift Demon Valley.

"It still found us."

At the headquarters of the Demon-Slaying Alliance, the atmosphere was gloomy and depressing, like heavy dark clouds, pressing down on everyone's hearts.

Although the Ancient Demon's tracks were difficult to find, they used human lives to fill in the location of the other party's tracks.

"The Sky Net Palace needs seven days to know the result, but this beast doesn't intend to give us seven days."

"We can only rely on this Double Rift Demon Valley, the final battle!"

"Everyone, if you have anything to say, please speak freely."

In the main hall, everyone looked dejected. In this battle, regardless of whether the Ancient Demon would die or not, at least they had no way to survive.

This was a battle to the death, also the final battle, related to the life and death of the entire Heavens!

"In this battle, if we can perish together with the Ancient Demon, the Heavens can survive. If not, the Heavens will be destroyed!"

"Thinking about it now, the Sages most likely anticipated this situation, and went to take refuge in advance. Their preservation of the spark of civilization is enough to show that this battle is extremely difficult, with little hope."

"No matter what, at least we have tried our best, for the Heavens, and also for ourselves."

"Have the Realm Stones been deployed, and has the previous message been sent out?"

"Everything is ready."

"This battle will be projected across the Heavens. If we fail, the remaining generals in each city will carry out the previous self-slaughter plan, collective suicide!"

A Half-Sage Emperor said in a deep voice.

His words made the eyes of many people present slightly shrink.

Although they had known about this arrangement before, if it really happened, they still felt an indescribable shock and sorrow.

"This Ancient Demon likes to devour souls, like a tiger eating meat. Everything it eats is beneficial to itself. It wants to eat our souls. We will take the first step to self-slaughter, absolutely not becoming its free food supply!" a Half-Sage said, his voice extremely low.

Many divine dynasties had experienced some battles that almost led to the extinction of their races, but none had been forced to self-slaughter. Now they were forced to such a situation by this Ancient Demon, showing how tragic it was.

"If we succeed in luring that Ancient Demon into the Double Rift Demon Valley, they will also be able to see it through the Realm Stone projections. It can be considered as bringing them hope. Although the Heavens will be greatly injured, the treasure troves of cultivation methods we leave behind will be enough for them to give birth to new experts again."

"The Ancient Demon is coming, prepare yourselves!"

Before the Double Rift Demon Valley, the legions of the Demon-Slaying Alliance gathered here.

Now, this former first forbidden area that everyone feared, had instead become their hope for survival. The definition of good and bad, at this moment, lost its meaning.

Realm Stones flickered, projecting this scene across the Heavens.

The clouds in the sky above became the frightening scene of the Double Rift Demon Valley.

Many civilians also saw for the first time this first forbidden area that even martial practitioners feared. Besides surprise and shock, they also saw the vast human army gathered outside this forbidden area.

Thousands of Half-Sages stood at the front of the army, Emperors stood tall. Many civilians recognized that was the Emperor of their divine dynasty, but at this moment standing before the army, although displaying imperial majesty, there were also many other equally majestic Emperors beside him.

"The Emperors and Half-Sages of the divine dynasties, are preparing to fight to the death with that Ancient Demon!"

"Can we win this battle?"

In the Heavens, panicked and worried faces stared intently at the scene projected by the Realm Stones in the clouds.

All of this happened within just a few days of Li Hao entering the Divine Sun. And now, Li Hao stepped out of the Divine Sun, and immediately headed towards a nearby small world, wanting to explore the current situation outside.

As soon as he arrived in this small world, Li Hao saw the scene projected in the sky above.

Li Hao froze, his pupils slightly constricted. That was the Double Rift Demon Valley? The first forbidden area?

Seeing the vast army gathered outside the forbidden area, Li Hao's heart suddenly震 [zhèn – shaken/shocked], feeling as if the blood throughout his body was both icy and feverish. He instantly understood the purpose of these armies gathering before the Double Rift Demon Valley.

He originally thought that after coming out, he would see small worlds turned into hellish scenes, but he didn't expect these small worlds to unite and launch a counterattack against this Ancient Demon!

Using forbidden areas to trap and kill the Ancient Demon, such calculations, using countless sacrifices as bait, was undeniably tragic.

Li Hao's face was grim. If the Sages knew about this, he wondered if they would feel ashamed.

Swoosh!

Li Hao immediately changed direction, stepping out of the small world, constantly shifting in the void, heading towards the Double Rift Demon Valley at full speed.

Before the Double Rift Demon Valley, the figure of the True Immortal Ancient Demon spanned the void, suddenly descending.

Its descent was extremely abrupt, surprising everyone before the forbidden area. According to the information they had filled in with human lives, the other party should still be on its way.

Seeing the shocked looks of these ants, the True Immortal Ancient Demon sneered inwardly.

In the previous few times killing these ants, it had vaguely noticed that the other party seemed to know it was coming, which was very unreasonable.

After all, its speed spanned hundreds of thousands of miles, absolutely exceeding the detection range of these ants. Its arrival should have shocked and horrified them, just like their current expressions.

Later, it pondered and realized that the ants it had devoured along the way had probably used their deaths to transmit some kind of signal. Therefore, this time it used a ruse, devouring halfway, and then avoiding the bait scattered along the way, directly descending here.

It wanted to see, what tricks these ants were trying to play!

As soon as it descended, the True Immortal Ancient Demon's primordial spirit will enveloped the entire area. Soon it clearly saw that among these ants, there was no hidden presence that made it feel danger. That monster who escaped from its hands last time was not here either. It was estimated that it had failed to kill it last time, scaring it out of its wits. It would be difficult to find it again.

However, it was not in a hurry. After emptying everyone else in this world, it would slowly search again. If it really couldn't find it, it would take away the Immortal Emperor's treasure, and let the Ancient Demon army come in to search.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, the True Immortal Ancient Demon noticed the forbidden zone behind this group of humans.

The Double Rift Demon Valley was two deep, black rifts, bottomless, emitting terrifying auras.

The True Immortal Ancient Demon fixed its eyes, and immediately noticed that it was emitting unusual Immortal Dao Laws. This was something that only Immortal Lords could condense.

It immediately understood that these humans wanted to repeat their trick.

But this time, it would not be easily fooled again. These humans underestimated its cunningness.

Whoosh!

A black vortex emerged behind it, like a pitch-black dark moon, and strong suction force emanated from within.

At the front of the crowd, many Emperors and Half-Sages reacted. They were shocked that this Ancient Demon had directly descended here. They hadn't had time to stimulate the Double Rift Demon Valley to reveal its true power.

But now, plans could not keep up with changes. They could only react as quickly as possible.

"Quick, stop it, activate the forbidden area!"

Ancestor Mu and other Half-Sages hurriedly issued orders.

And the primordial spirit suction force released by the True Immortal Ancient Demon made these Half-Sages feel that their primordial spirits were uncontrollably leaving their bodies.

They were horrified. In front of this Ancient Demon, they felt that they were no different from ordinary people.

"Quick, military formations!"

Soon, military formations were activated one after another. Under the blessing of many military formations, a grand array researched by the Military Sage, driven by Military strategist Half-Sages. This array could cover tens of millions of martial practitioners, amplifying their power.

However, in front of the True Immortal Ancient Demon, numbers were of no advantage.

The suction force of the dark moon made the primordial spirits of many Four Realms martial practitioners in the military formation leave their bodies and fly out.

Like snowflakes in the sky, once the primordial spirit left the body, it seemed uncontrollable, flying towards the dark moon behind the True Immortal Ancient Demon.

Watching the dense and endless primordial spirits continuously flying towards the Ancient Demon, many Half-Sages were horrified. People in various small worlds across the Heavens who saw this scene through the Realm Stones also turned pale.

The previously vast, solemn, and powerful allied army, at this moment, was like collapsing snowflakes, without any resistance!

"No, impossible…"

Ancestor Mu and many other Half-Sages were shocked, angry, and desperate. They tried their best, but their own primordial spirits were also slowly moving out of their bodies, not to mention those Four Realms martial practitioners, who in a blink of an eye had all lost their combat ability.

Was this the strength of this Ancient Demon?

Alone, it could dominate a world with its pressure!

At this moment of despair, just as countless primordial spirits were about to be swallowed by that dark moon, suddenly, the True Immortal Ancient Demon abruptly turned around.

Only to see in the void, a dazzling sword light seemed to span tens of thousands of miles, breaking through the air from a distant place!

That was the light emanating from a broken Immortal Sword, instantly whistling through the air, piercing through the dark moon, interrupting that force.

The countless uncontrolled primordial spirits in the void immediately broke free, and hurriedly fled back to their own bodies.

"This?"

Many Half-Sages also immediately stabilized the primordial spirits within their bodies, and looked in shock. They saw a void rift appear, and a figure rapidly rushed out from within.

Silver hair, golden eyes, his whole body exuding blazing golden flames, like an unparalleled battle god.

That familiar appearance quickly allowed everyone to recognize him. It was precisely that Haotian Honored One!

"Am I seeing things? Am I not mistaken?"

"Haotian Honored One, it's Haotian Honored One!!"

"Are the Sages coming too?"

When they recognized Li Hao, the people of the Demon-Slaying Alliance before the forbidden area became excited, and then looked around.

And at this moment, the True Immortal Ancient Demon was staring at Li Hao with angry and cold eyes.

It didn't expect that the other party would dare to appear again. Hadn't it been scared witless by it last time?

Having spared its life once, it was actually ignorant of its own death!

However, although angry, the True Immortal Ancient Demon was also assessing its surroundings. The humans in front of it, cooperating with the Sages, indeed had the ability to contend with it.

But soon, it discovered that it could not sense the aura of other Sages.

Only the monster in front of it!

The True Immortal Ancient Demon immediately felt relieved. It didn't believe that the Sage-level beings of this world could hide from its eyes.

Roar!

Accompanied by a low roar, the True Immortal Ancient Demon angrily charged towards Li Hao.

Li Hao grasped the broken Immortal Sword that had just flown over, and the power of his Extreme Realm climbed to its peak. At the same time, his Ultimate Realm power also manifested.

The energy of heaven and earth was thin in the outer edges of this forbidden area, but he had the Heavenly Star Veins. Using the stars of the Heavens as a medium, power was directly delivered into his body. Even in places like the Divine Sun, where the energy of heaven and earth was suppressed, he could cultivate and fight for a long time.

"Law, Heaven, and Earth!"

Crack crack sounds echoed. Li Hao's body swelled violently, like a silver-haired giant god, and a magnificent and vast aura was revealed.

"You all retreat, don't die here in vain!"

At the same time, Li Hao's voice transmitted into everyone's ears, carrying an irresistible majesty.

Hearing Li Hao's words, Ancestor Mu and many other Half-Sages wanted to speak but stopped. But when they saw Li Hao's soaring body and the aura he emitted, they were all shocked into silence, and quickly mobilized the army, retreating to the other side of the forbidden area, to avoid hindering Li Hao.

As the Demon-Slaying Alliance retreated, Li Hao's thoughts were all concentrated on the True Immortal Ancient Demon in front of him.

Seeing the other party pounce, Li Hao directly sacrificed the two broken Immortal Swords that he had previously used to slash at the other party and had already blunted. He quickly rushed towards the other party.

Seeing Li Hao use this move again, the True Immortal Ancient Demon sneered. It had already found a way to avoid it, choosing to confront Li Hao head-on.

Two broken Immortal Swords instantly brushed past, leaving one or two hundred tiny nicks, like tickling it.

But the Deadly Attribute was triggered.

At the same time, the True Immortal Ancient Demon's sharp claws also slammed down towards the top of Li Hao's head. The vast power severed the Great Dao, directly piercing through Li Hao's Eternal Dao Domain.

Li Hao let out a roar, and the Law, Heaven and Earth manifestation appeared behind him. The manifestations of the Sages surrounded his manifestation. As he raised his arm, the Law, Heaven and Earth manifestation merged with his flesh body. In an instant, the power was like dragon roars and tiger howls, shaking the entire void.

Boom! With a loud sound, Li Hao and the True Immortal Ancient Demon actually each retreated. But bloody wounds appeared on Li Hao's arm.

The collision between the two shook for tens of thousands of miles, and even the Four Realms existences in the retreating Demon-Slaying Legion felt an invisible impact coming, their qi and blood surged, and they spat out blood.

Many Half-Sages were shocked. Was this what it meant when gods fight, mortals suffer?

It was too exaggerated. Just the shockwave, separated by tens of thousands of miles, could actually make Four Realms experts cough blood. If they hadn't retreated, it was estimated that they could have been directly stunned on the spot.

At this time, the deadly attribute, the Power of Soul-Reaping, made the True Immortal Ancient Demon quickly split its body, separating the flesh and blood that was targeted by the Power of Soul-Reaping.

And the remaining parts were rapidly merging. Now, it didn't even need to completely self-destruct to dodge.

And the gap in its split body gave Li Hao time. A broken Immortal Sword floated beside him, its blade still sharp.

Li Hao's eyes were cold, staring fixedly at this Ancient Demon. The scenes of dissecting the Ancient Demon on the ancient path repeatedly flashed in his mind. His primordial spirit was condensed to the extreme, burning out golden veins, and the Power of Telekinesis was pushed to its peak at this moment.

At the same time, the attributes of Hidan and others were also activated by Li Hao.

Only my will… Break!

Li Hao suddenly erupted. The broken Immortal Sword seemed to transform into a beam of light, instantly shooting out, piercing through the True Immortal Ancient Demon's body, and then rapidly severing inside its body at an unimaginable speed.

The broken Immortal Sword and Li Hao's primordial spirit power had previously always been unable to instantly destroy the True Immortal Ancient Demon's body. But at this moment, the sword intent of the Ten-Stage Sword Dao condensed, and the broken Immortal Sword seemed to be sharpened, becoming extremely sharp. In just an instant, it had traversed the True Immortal Ancient Demon's body.

From the outside, it was just a moment!

Puff!

The True Immortal Ancient Demon's body suddenly trembled. Immediately afterwards, an incomparably dazzling light burst out from its body. That was a heaven-illuminating sword芒 [máng – radiance/gleam] flashing out.

The True Immortal Ancient Demon's body was destroyed in an instant.

Body killed!
