"That Ancient Demon is dead too!"
"Finally dead, this Ancient Demon was at the True Immortal realm. Who knew that Lord Vast Sky could actually..."
"There's no soul fluctuation in the Ancient Demon's body either, it's completely dead!"
"Lord Vast Sky and the True Immortal realm Ancient Demon perished together, we're saved..."
"Lord Vast Sky is the benefactor of all the heavens, let us remember him forever."
The battle ended, and countless people embraced and wept. This battle was won with great difficulty, it was extremely arduous.
"Take Lord Vast Sky's body back and preserve it carefully. There must be no damage whatsoever."
"As for this Ancient Demon's body, we'll find a way to crush its bones and scatter its ashes, completely annihilate it. We can't let it revive."
Even though the Ancient Demon's body was now a motionless corpse, many people still felt lingering fear, dread, and nervousness when approaching its iron-cast-like body.
As the army dragged the Ancient Demon's corpse back, Li Hao's body was also carefully preserved by a joint barrier cast by numerous Half-Saints. They felt deep respect for the young man with a peaceful expression and closed eyes.
"The True Immortal Ancient Demon has fallen. We'll report this news to the Saints later."
"All the heavens are saved."
Among the crowd, many leaders of various factions thought to themselves.
They seemed to be leaders of certain organizations, but in reality, they were all controlled by Saints. For this refuge, they had long received news from the Saints. The Saints were taking refuge, and no one could stop the True Immortal Ancient Demon. They needed to wait for an opportunity.
But now, the True Immortal Ancient Demon, which had frightened the Saints into hiding, had been slain by Lord Vast Sky, and they had perished together. If the Saints received this news, they should also return.
However, they didn't have a way to actively contact the Saints, nor did they know where the Saints had gone to seek refuge. They could only wait for the Saints to appear and contact them.
In the void, many people voluntarily chose to stay behind to guard the outside of the forbidden area.
Although Lord Vast Sky and the Ancient Demon's primordial spirits were swallowed by the forbidden area, one had combat power surpassing a Supreme Saint, and the other was a True Immortal realm existence. Perhaps there would be a difference, and this forbidden area might not necessarily kill them. Regardless, someone needed to guard this place. If something happened, they could know about it immediately.
With the end of the battle, the various small worlds throughout the heavens also returned to peace.
Meanwhile.
In the Divine Sun, the Saints gathered together.
Since Li Hao stepped out of the Divine Sun, they had been counting the time.
"It's been two hours. Hurry up and check, check the situation outside."
Feng Boping urged impatiently.
Beside him, Li Muxiu, Li Yuanzhao, and others were also nervously and anxiously looking at Dark Saint.
With their realm, they were normally not qualified to attend the Saints' meeting, but their identities made the Saints treat them with courtesy.
"If Lord Vast Sky won, the various small worlds must be peaceful."
Saint Mitian said in a low voice.
Dark Saint nodded slightly, understanding his meaning. He immediately glanced at the other Saints and saw that they were all concerned. He then took out the Heaven-Illuminating Mirror.
This mirror couldn't track the Ancient Demon, but it could reflect the scene of a location based on coordinates.
He illuminated the previous small world again, but he saw a scene of complete desolation.
The Saints' expressions all changed slightly. This small world was actually completely destroyed.
Feng Boping and the others couldn't help but clench their hands, their faces showing a hint of displeasure.
Dark Saint's eyes were slightly deep, his mind turning. He immediately selected another small world. He knew that if the disaster outside had been resolved, it would definitely be evident here.
He illuminated the Heavenly Origin Small World.
As the number one small world in all the heavens, the Saint veins and heaven and earth energy here were extremely rich, and countless people yearned for it. At this moment, in this small world, he saw scenes of cheering and jubilation in the cities.
Seeing the countless excited faces reflected, the Saints were all stunned, and then their pupils contracted, revealing shock and surprise.
Feng Boping and the others were also stunned, followed by a surge of blood-rushing ecstasy.
Dark Saint used the Heaven-Illuminating Mirror to illuminate other small worlds and found the same thing.
"It seems, it's really been resolved?"
Dark Saint was somewhat in disbelief, feeling like it was a dream.
Just a Saint-level Lord Vast Sky actually went out and killed that True Immortal realm Ancient Demon!
He illuminated seven or eight small worlds in a row and found the same thing. Although some worlds had already suffered disasters, the faces of countless residents were filled with joy.
"I'll go outside and take a look. I have a way to immediately know the situation outside."
Saint Ming immediately said.
No one else stopped him. Feng Boping didn't say a word and directly flew out of the Divine Sun.
Before long, they confirmed the news. The Ancient Demon was really dead!
But, Lord Vast Sky was also dead!
They perished together!
Upon learning this news, Feng Boping was shaken, and then he frantically rushed to the Double-Seam Demonic Valley.
The people inside the Immortal-God Ruins received the news from Saint Ming and fell into silence, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
The other Saints successively flew out of the Divine Sun and learned the situation through their own factions, which was exactly the same as what Saint Ming said.
Subsequently, the Saints left the Holy Land and Immortal Island in the Divine Sun, and they all rushed to the Double-Seam Demonic Valley.
When the Saints appeared, the dozens of Half-Saints guarding the Double-Seam Demonic Valley were stunned, and then they hurriedly saluted.
Here, the Saints saw Feng Boping, who had arrived earlier but was sitting in a daze.
"Tell us in detail, what happened?"
Saint Ming saw his disciple in the crowd and immediately called him over to ask.
The disciple saw his master and quickly bowed, and then he recounted the events in detail.
At the same time, as if he had been prepared, he raised his hand and projected the events he had seen earlier in the void.
They formed an alliance and fought back, and Li Hao fought the True Immortal Ancient Demon in a decisive battle.
Watching the projected battle between Li Hao and the Ancient Demon, the Saints were shocked. After Li Hao appeared, he actually killed the Ancient Demon's body with a single sword, forcing out its primordial spirit.
How could he be so strong?
But then, they saw Li Hao burning his primordial spirit, frantically fighting the Ancient Demon, and finally falling together into the Double-Seam Demonic Valley, where they were completely swallowed.
"Vast Sky..."
Lin Qingying watched the projection end, her face pale, her body trembling slightly.
"Brother Hao!"
Li Yuanzhao's eyes were filled with grief, and he clenched his fists.
The Li family members had also come here, and seeing this scene, they were too shocked to speak.
They didn't expect that the young man who had walked out of the Li family could actually be so dazzling even in all the heavens.
But now, like a dazzling meteor, after绽放releasing brilliant light, he had fallen rapidly.
"He..."
In the crowd, Li Ping'an's face was pale. The figure in the projection, the figure whose shadow he had been chasing since childhood, was actually dead?
He had once hated him, resented him, but at this moment, he felt an emptiness and bewilderment in his heart.
There were countless legends about him in the past that he had not witnessed, but this time, he had witnessed it with his own eyes.
When many Supreme Saints retreated and despaired, that figure had saved everything.
It seemed like he had once saved Great Yu. No wonder a hundred years later, Great Yu was still full of his praises... It turned out to be deserved.
"He can't possibly be dead, I don't believe it!"
Ji Xuanshen and the others stared at the projection. Although when they met Li Hao, he was already extremely dazzling, Li Hao had been ambushed by Saints when he first came to the heavens, and he hadn't died. How could he die now? They didn't believe it, they didn't want to accept it. Since a miracle had happened once, why couldn't it happen a second time?
But even though they thought so, their hearts felt uncontrollable sadness and sorrow.
Perhaps this Double-Seam Demonic Valley couldn't kill Li Hao, who could fight a True Immortal, after all, the strongest existence this forbidden area had ever swallowed was a Supreme Saint.
But it had been so long, and if he wasn't dead, why hadn't he returned? This seemed to be the answer...
Whoosh!
In the distance, Feng Boping's figure flickered and disappeared.
The Sword Master noticed, and his heart moved. He also followed and disappeared.
At this time, the Saints also came back to their senses, and Saint Ming asked, "What about the bodies of the Ancient Demon and Lord Vast Sky?"
"They've all been dragged back."
The Half-Saint responded truthfully.
Saint Ming was about to suggest going to see them when Saint Fa suddenly spoke. He said in a deep voice, "Since this True Immortal realm Ancient Demon was killed by Lord Vast Sky, shouldn't we hurry to the Immortal Gate and block the gap? We can't let any more Ancient Demons in!"
Hearing his words, the Saints suddenly realized.
That's right, this True Immortal Ancient Demon was killed, but the gap was still there. The crisis of the heavens was not immediately lifted!
However, this time, knowing that the True Immortal Ancient Demon could disguise itself as a second-order Ancient Demon and sneak in, they had to work harder. They had to kill every second-order Ancient Demon that came in, not giving it a chance to reveal its true form.
"Go!"
"We must get there quickly!"
Saint Ming reacted and immediately said hurriedly.
The other Saints also became nervous. Li Hao's previous dissuasion was the first salvation of the heavens, and now his perishing together with this True Immortal realm Ancient Demon was the second salvation. If another True Immortal realm Ancient Demon sneaked in, the two opportunities he had bought for them would be completely wasted.
Whoosh!
The Saints rushed to the Ancient Hall.
However, Dark Saint stayed in place for a while. He had a look of doubt on his face. According to the frequency of the Ancient Demon's invasion before, the heavens should have fallen long ago. Without the True Immortal realm Ancient Demon, the third-order Ancient Demons alone were enough to crush the various small worlds. But now, there were no signs of those third-order Ancient Demons.
Could it be that they were all killed by Lord Vast Sky?
He couldn't figure it out, but he quickly followed.
This time, Saint Mitian, Saint Yi, and others also went to the Ancient Hall, wanting to do their part.
When the Saints arrived at the Ancient Hall, as soon as they entered, they heard vibrations, as if there was a fight inside.
They were surprised. Who was fighting here?
When they rushed in, they were shocked to find that the Ancient Hall was littered with the corpses of Ancient Demons, more than thirty of them, large and small!
These corpses were scattered around. At this moment, more than a dozen humanoids wearing silver armor were besieging two Ancient Demons. These two Ancient Demons, one large and one small, were covered in wounds and struggling with all their might. But under the extremely tacit cooperation of the more than a dozen silver-armored humanoids, they continued to be injured. On the other hand, these silver-armored humanoids were extremely cautious in the battle and were hardly injured.
Sensing the figures of the Saints, the more than a dozen silver-armored humanoids were all startled. When they saw that they were also humanoids, they were slightly relieved. Then, one of the leaders waved his hand, and the speed of the more than a dozen silver-armored humanoids suddenly increased. They quickly killed both Ancient Demons. One of them was slightly injured because he was more aggressive.
"You..."
Saint Ming and the others looked at these silver-armored humanoids, their eyes going from shock to daze, and then to this moment, their eyes faintly showing excitement and joy.
They recognized at a glance that the structure of the armor of these silver-armored humanoids was definitely not a product of the heavens, and they appeared here. There was only one possibility: they were the True Realm Immortal Army that Lord Vast Sky had mentioned!
Reinforcements had arrived!
Saint Mitian, Saint Yi, and the others were somewhat surprised, but soon, their eyes became complicated. The reinforcements had arrived, but it seemed to be a step too late. They had waited for the reinforcements, but Lord Vast Sky had not.
That dazzling young man would never wait again.
The more than a dozen silver-armored humanoids looked at each other, and their eyes were somewhat surprised when they looked at the Saints. The number of Saint-level beings in this pseudo-realm was more than they had imagined. Could it be that there was a True Immortal in this realm?
At this time, the leader among them stepped forward. His gaze swept across, confirming that the several Supreme Saints among the Saint-level beings in front of him were the leaders. He immediately transmitted his divine sense:
"We are from the True Realm Heavenly Palace, under the command of Immortal Lord Red Tassel's 'Silver Tassel Battalion'! The Immortal Lord killed the Ancient Demon Commander and came to rescue you. We previously received information that the Ancient Demon Commander sent a True Immortal realm Ancient Demon. Where is it now?"
"True Realm? Heavenly Palace!"
"Yingying Battalion?"
Saint Fa and the other Supreme Saints were somewhat excited when they heard the other party's transmission, and their eyes lit up.
They had risked everything to go to the back of the Immortal Gate before, just to join the Immortal-God forces and cultivate into true Immortals and Gods.
Unexpectedly, they had finally waited for it.
They didn't know what realm the Immortal Lord was, but the more than a dozen Saint-level beings in front of them were all Supreme Saints! To be able to use Supreme Saints as soldiers, it must be an extremely terrifying existence.
"Reporting to Senior, the True Immortal realm Ancient Demon has already been killed."
Saint Ming replied humbly, cupping his hands.
The silver-armored humanoid leader was slightly stunned, thinking, "As expected." He smiled and said, "There is actually a True Immortal in this realm. May I ask if you can introduce us? We are under the Immortal Lord's orders to come and meet the Immortal Emperor's bloodline in this realm. The situation outside is complicated, and the Immortal Lord cannot stay for long. I ask you to hurry."
"Immortal Emperor's bloodline?"
Saint Mitian's eyes flickered. He and Ancestor Yuan were almost from the same era, slightly later than him. He also knew a lot about some ancient and secret things. He didn't expect that the Immortal Lord had come to meet the Immortal Emperor's bloodline. Could it be that the Immortals and Gods of this realm in the past were the Immortal Emperor in the other party's mouth?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Ancestor Yuan, and his eyes flickered slightly. It was a pity that the old guy was already dead and didn't wait for this opportunity.
Saint Ming and the others heard the other party's transmission, but they noticed that the other party said "cannot stay for long," and their hearts tightened.
"Senior, we don't know the Immortal Emperor's bloodline you mentioned. There is also no True Immortal in this realm. The one who killed the True Immortal realm Ancient Demon was our realm's Saint, Lord Vast Sky. He perished together with the Ancient Demon."
Saint Yin-Yang transmitted his voice, with a hint of flattery in his tone, "I wonder if you, Seniors, can introduce me to the Immortal Lord. I am willing to serve and follow the Immortal Lord!"
Hearing his words, the silver-armored general was stunned, and then he said, "This friend, don't joke around. That was a True Immortal. It's impossible for a Saint-level being to kill it. Did he have an Immortal Emperor's treasure?"
Saint Yin-Yang saw that he ignored his request for an introduction and could only explain in a low voice:
"The situation of that Saint-level being is somewhat complicated. He didn't have an Immortal Emperor's treasure, it was just himself, himself..."
He suddenly felt that it was somewhat difficult. They could only believe this kind of thing if they saw it with their own eyes. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would also find it bizarre.
"It was just that he himself... was too monstrous."
After considering it, Saint Yin-Yang said with a wry smile.
The silver-armored general raised his eyebrows. What kind of explanation was this? Monstrous? No matter how monstrous a Saint-level being was, it was impossible to kill a True Immortal. The Immortal Seal alone was something that the heaven and earth energy controlled by a Saint-level being could not destroy, unless there was an Immortal artifact. Could it be that that person was the Immortal Emperor's bloodline that the Immortal Lord mentioned?
His heart sank. So, they were a step too late.
"Are you the strongest existences in this realm?"
The silver-armored general glanced around. Although there were only a dozen of them, facing more than three hundred Saints, they did not have the slightest fear. Instead, they had a feeling of looking down on them.
Saint Ming nodded and said, "That's right. The True Immortal realm Ancient Demon invaded, and now only we are left."
The silver-armored general's eyes moved. This time, he directly used his divine sense to translate his True Realm language and said directly:
"Are there any Immortal Emperor bloodlines among you? If there are, you can follow me to the True Realm. The Immortal Lord will recommend them to join the Heavenly Palace. If their talent is excellent, they will be cultivated by the Heavenly Palace. The Immortal Dao techniques cultivated there are something you will never be able to come into contact with in your entire life. Your future prospects are limitless!"
Hearing his words, the Saints all looked at each other.
Immortal Emperor's bloodline? They had never heard of it.
Saint Mitian's eyes flickered, and he looked at one of his disciples. That disciple's ancestors were also Immortals and Gods. Later, after generations of marriage and branching out, he didn't know if he could still be considered an Immortal-God bloodline.
He had accepted him back then because of this.
"How do you check if you have the Immortal Emperor's bloodline?" Saint Mitian asked.
The silver-armored general glanced at him and said, "Good question. As long as there is the Immortal Emperor's bloodline, even if it is extremely thin, there will be an extremely weak Immortal power hidden in the bloodline. The Immortal Lord only needs to probe slightly to sense it. Therefore, don't lie and cause trouble. If you don't have the Emperor's blood, even if you go to the True Realm, you are destined to be mediocre. It's better for you to be a Saint here."
Hearing this, Saint Mitian immediately called his disciple over and said,
"Yuan Qing, you go and try."
A One-Calamity Saint was stunned. He didn't expect his master to call him, but he seemed to understand something and nodded and stepped forward.
Saint Ming and Saint Yin-Yang looked at Saint Mitian in surprise. Seeing his calm expression, they seemed to understand something. Saint Yin-Yang immediately said to the silver-armored general:
"Senior, when we were born, there were no Immortals or Gods in the world. Immortals and Gods have been extinct for too long. We don't know if we are the bloodlines left behind by Immortals and Gods. Can we also go and be tested?"
"That's right, we have never seen Immortals or Gods, and we have never heard of anyone who has seen them."
Hearing this, the other Saints hurriedly spoke.
The silver-armored general frowned, seeing through the thoughts of these Saint-level beings, but now that these Saint-level beings all said so, perhaps it was true. He thought for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, then you all follow me to take a look."
With that, he opened his heaven and earth space.
Saint Ming and the others were somewhat excited. They all said that those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. They didn't expect to really encounter Immortal fate.
They secretly made up their minds that once they saw the Immortal Lord that the other party mentioned, regardless of whether they had the Immortal Emperor's bloodline, they would beg the other party to keep them. This was an opportunity to transform into an Immortal.
Among the crowd, Saint Mitian did not step into the other party's heaven and earth space to leave. He knew that he did not have the Immortal Emperor's bloodline. Although this was an opportunity to leave the heavens, he was not particularly enthusiastic about becoming an Immortal or God. Instead, he wanted to stay in this realm and see more. Anyway, there was still a long time before his deadline.
The silver-armored general gathered the Saints. He looked at Saint Mitian strangely, and seeing that the other party was unwilling, he didn't force him. He then turned around and traveled through the gap in the Immortal Gate, heading to the outside of the Immortal Gate.
Outside the Gate of Mysterious Yin.
The ground was littered with the corpses of Ancient Demons. The red-tasseled spear woman stood on a strange rock, the fierce wind blowing from the canyon.
Her long black hair fluttered behind her helmet, and her eyes were cold.
"Taking the corpse of this Ancient Demon Commander back can be exchanged for ten thousand Immortal merits."
Beside her, the silver-armored, saber-wearing young man chuckled.
The red-tasseled spear woman didn't seem to hear and didn't speak.
Suddenly, there were fluctuations from the door behind her.
She turned her head and saw several Silver Tassel Battalion warriors walking out.
They were all peerless geniuses of the same realm. Three of them working together could easily kill a second-order Ancient Demon of the same realm.
"I gave you the ninth-grade Immortal treasure, the Heaven-Piercing Needle. Has the True Immortal Ancient Demon been dealt with?"
The red-tasseled spear woman stared at the silver-armored general.
The silver-armored general quickly knelt down on one knee and reported, informing her of the situation inside. Then, he opened his heaven and earth space, letting the Saints inside come out.
The Saints saw the many silver-armored warriors around them, all of whom had Saint-level auras. They couldn't help but be secretly shocked, feeling their own insignificance.
In the heavens, they were all supreme existences, but here, they seemed to be just a small soldier.
And in front of them, that woman holding a red-tasseled spear had a cold and arrogant look in her eyes, as if the sun and moon were condensed in her eyes, containing a soul-stirring power.
The Saints were shocked, and inexplicably, their hearts trembled. They felt that it was even more terrifying than facing the True Immortal Ancient Demon directly. They felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.
"Hmm?"
The red-tasseled spear woman heard her subordinate's words, and her face changed. The Immortal Emperor's bloodline was dead?
They were late?
"Speak, what happened?"
The red-tasseled spear woman immediately looked at the Saints present, her face cold, and said, "How did he die? Do you have a projection?"
"Yes, yes." Saint Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly responded. Then, he projected the projection he had seen earlier.
The Saints also understood. This red-tasseled spear woman seemed to be coming for Lord Vast Sky. According to her, Lord Vast Sky had the Immortal Emperor's bloodline?
As the projection appeared, everyone saw the Ancient Demon and the young man in the battle.
The silver-armored general saw the young man in the projection kill the True Immortal Ancient Demon with a single sword when he appeared. He couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect that what the other party said was true. What kind of Immortal sword was that?
He looked closely, but he found that the sword was broken, covered in rust, and seemed to have long lost its Immortal power, leaving only the sharp blade.
"A Saint-level being, fighting a True Immortal realm Ancient Demon?"
Beside him, the silver-armored, saber-wearing young man was also stunned when he saw this projection, and his eyes widened in surprise.
On the way here, Red Tassel said that the Immortal Emperor's bloodline was extremely monstrous, and he was somewhat skeptical. But the scene in front of him was somewhat beyond his imagination.
Even if one condensed a Heavenly Dao Chaotic Infant, it would not be enough to have such combat power, right?
You know, the gap between a Saint-level being and a True Immortal was no less than that of a Power Control realm challenging a Supreme Saint!
The projection ended, and the primordial spirits of the young man and the Ancient Demon were swallowed by the forbidden area together.
The red-tasseled spear woman's expression fluctuated slightly, and it became even colder. She said, "And you've determined that they are dead just like that?"
"Reporting to Senior, that is the most dangerous forbidden area. There is no return. Even Supreme Saints have disappeared. Although they are more powerful than Supreme Saints, they have not appeared for a long time, so..."
Saint Yin-Yang hurriedly responded, with flattery, wanting the other party to remember him.
The red-tasseled spear woman was silent. She could see that the forbidden area in the projection seemed somewhat dangerous, but it was just a projection, and she couldn't see more.
"It seems that we are late, what a pity."
The silver-armored, saber-wearing young man couldn't help but sigh, "To be able to condense a Heavenly Dao Chaotic Infant, and the primordial spirit has actually cultivated divine bones, and there are quite a few of them. Such a monstrous genius, in the Heavenly Palace and other forces, is carefully protected. How could they let him take such a risk? Now he's actually dead."
"Let's go, we also have to hurry and leave this place. Otherwise, if that Kui Jiao Ancient Demon King comes, we will also be in danger."
He said.
The red-tasseled spear woman turned her head and stared at him, saying, "Buy me some time, half an hour. I will personally go inside and take a look."
Hearing her words, the silver-armored, saber-wearing young man's expression changed, and he said in shock and anger, "You're taking too much of a risk. The power of this gate has not completely faded. If you want to enter, you can only take the Immortal-Severing Pill, which will also damage your cultivation. Is it worth it?"
"You've also seen how monstrous the other party is. A Saint-level being can force a True Immortal realm Ancient Demon to this point. Even if there is only a one percent chance of survival, he will definitely have great achievements in the future. Now is the time when we need people. If such a genius dies, don't you think it's a pity?" The red-tasseled spear woman said in a deep voice.
