Reborn Shang Zhou, angry at the sage Nuwa at the beginning

Chapter 2220

Di Xin and the others looked up.

A phantom clad in golden armor appeared in mid-air, emanating an extremely terrifying aura of gods and demons—the remnant soul of the guardian god and demon of the Xuanxu Secret Realm.

"Thank you for your help, senior god and demon!" Di Xin bowed and paid his respects.

The remnant soul of the guardian deity swept its gaze across the crowd, finally settling on Di Xin, a hint of approval flashing in its eyes:
"The Human Emperor of the Borderlands possesses the flourishing of human destiny and has reached the half-step Transcendent Realm, which is truly rare. The Gate to Transcendent is located at the core of the secret realm. Whether you can step into it depends entirely on your opportunities and strength."

"But remember, only those who have the well-being of all people in their hearts and uphold the righteous path can obtain the inheritance from the gate of transcendence; otherwise, they will only be devoured by the power of gods and demons, and die and their cultivation will be extinguished!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

The remnant soul of the guardian demon transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the depths of the secret realm. The leader of the dark demon race was completely purified by the pillar of light, and his soul and spirit were annihilated.

The Heavenly Elder and the others breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Emperor Xin, saying, "Thank you for your help, Your Majesty. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Di Xin waved his hand: "It's no trouble at all. The Xuanxu Secret Realm is fraught with dangers, and the Dark Demon Clan is just one of them. Why don't we join forces for now and head to the core of the secret realm to explore the Gate of Transcendence?"

Elder Tianji and the others exchanged glances and nodded in agreement: "That's exactly what we were thinking!"

then,

Emperor Xin led the people of the borderlands to form an allied force with cultivators from the Heavenly Extreme Sect, the Myriad Swords Sect, and the Vast and Unfettered Academy, and advanced towards the core of the Profound Ruins Secret Realm.

Along the way,
They faced attacks from ancient ferocious beasts, trials from divine and demonic restrictions, and obstacles from other forces—

The ancient ferocious beasts were swept away by Kong Xuan's seven-colored divine light, the divine and demonic restrictions were cleaved by Yuan Futong's sword energy, and the forces that were blocking the way were defeated by Di Xin's humanitarian power and the combined forces of the allied army.

Half a month later,

The allied forces finally reached the core of the secret realm.

A massive stone gate stood before them, inscribed with the four ancient characters "Gate of Transcendence." It exuded an aura of transcendence, and was indeed the Gate of Transcendence they had been searching for.

The space around the stone gate was distorted, containing terrifying power. Even a half-step Transcendent Realm expert felt immense pressure.

Di Xin gazed at the Gate of Transcendence, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Transcendence Realm, here I come!"

He took the lead and walked towards the stone gate, his aura of a half-step transcendent realm erupting at full power. The Human Emperor Sword hummed in his hand, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

Elder Tianji, Sword Master, Sage Meng, and others followed closely behind, their eyes filled with longing for the Transcendent Realm.

Just as Di Xin's palm was about to touch the Gate of Transcendence, a black rift suddenly appeared beside the stone gate, and countless dark demonic flames surged out.
An old man with an even more terrifying aura than the previous Dark Demon Clan leader stepped out. He was the Dark Demon Clan Chief, a powerful expert in the mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm!
"You brat Di Xin, and all you cultivators of the Xuanhuang Continent, if you wish to step into the gate of transcendence, you must first pass my test!"

The Dark Demon Clan Chief roared, his body engulfed in dark demonic flames, and he lunged at Di Xin and the others.

Di Xin's expression hardened.
Kong Xuan's seven-colored divine light surged instantly, and Yuan Futong's sword energy condensed into a sword beam over ten feet long. The three stood side by side, a resolute glint in their eyes.

A great battle concerning the path to transcendence and the fate of the Xuanhuang Continent has once again begun in the Xuanxu Secret Realm.

The demonic flames of the Dark Demon Clan Chief descended like a canopy from the sky, and the oppressive aura of a mid-stage Transcendent Realm cultivator caused the entire core of the secret realm to tremble.
The space was scorched by the demonic flames, creating countless cracks, and even the air turned into charred powder.

He conjured a dark demonic spear in his hand, its shaft wreathed with the roars of countless vengeful spirits. Each line contained a terrifying power capable of devouring the very essence of existence, and it thrust straight toward Di Xin and the other two.

"Seven-Colored Divine Light, suppress!" Kong Xuan roared, and seven-colored light surged around him. Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple intertwined to form a huge net of light, with yin and yang colors rapidly rotating within it.
It forms a barrier that combines defense and purification!

The demonic spear pierced the light net, producing a piercing scraping sound. The dark demonic flames continuously eroded the divine light, while the divine light purified the demonic flames at a visible speed.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate, and the energy shockwaves pulverized the surrounding rocks.
"Blade Domain Rifts the Heavens!"

Yuan Futong suddenly waved his hands, and the condensed sword energy around him instantly spread out, transforming into a sword domain tens of feet wide.

Within the sword domain,
Countless blade beams, each ten feet long, crisscrossed, like countless invisible battle blades slashing wildly towards the demonic flame barrier of the Dark Demon Clan Chief.

The blade energy collided with the demonic flames, producing a deafening roar. The demonic flames were torn open by the blade energy, but the wounds healed instantly.
Cold sweat beaded on Yuan Futong's forehead. The intensity of the demonic flames at the mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm far exceeded his expectations!

Di Xin's eyes were solemn.

The aura of a half-step transcendent realm cultivator was completely integrated with the primordial earth energy and the human destiny. The Human Emperor Sword shone with boundless golden light, and the phantoms of billions of living beings appeared on the sword, which were formed from the beliefs of the people of the borderlands.

"The Emperor's Sword Technique: Using all living beings as its blade!"

He leaped into the air, unleashing a sword strike. The golden sword light contained earth-shattering power, yet also carried a compassionate intent to protect all living beings.
It slashed towards the head of the Dark Demon Clan Chief.

This sword strike is both an attack and a defense.

Wherever the sword light passed, the space distorted by the demonic flames was healed, and the spiritual energy of the eroded secret realm was purified. Even the Dark Demon Clan Chief felt a trace of apprehension.

"You mere half-step Transcendent Realm cultivator dares to show off your meager skills before me!"

He snorted coldly, and the demonic spear abruptly changed direction, heading straight for the sword light. The demonic flames collided with the golden light, forming a massive energy vortex.

This forced the surrounding allied cultivators back several miles.

"puff!"

Di Xin was forced back by the energy vortex, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. The Emperor's Sword in his hand hummed and almost slipped from his grasp.

A crack appeared in Kong Xuan's seven-colored divine light barrier, and Yuan Futong's sword domain trembled violently, on the verge of collapse.

The gap between the mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm and the half-step Transcendent Realm is much larger than imagined.

"We're here to help you!"

Upon seeing this, the Celestial Elder, the Sword Master, and the Sage Meng all attacked simultaneously.

The Celestial Elder activated his divination power, and a silver Heavenly Dao rune shot towards the Dark Demon Clan Chief, attempting to disrupt the operation of his demonic flames.

The sword in the Sword Master's hand radiated a brilliant sword intent, and a streak of azure sword light shot out like a meteor, piercing straight into the weakness of the demonic spear.

The power of humanity flowed around Sage Meng, transforming into a huge phantom of a Confucian scholar. He struck out with a palm, imbued with the majesty of ancient humanity.

Although the three half-step Transcendent Realm experts joined forces, they were unable to defeat the Dark Demon Clan Chief, but they successfully restrained some of his power.

Taking advantage of the moment, Di Xin steadied himself, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes: "Kong Xuan, I borrow the power of your Seven-Colored Divine Light! Yuan Futong, use your Blade Domain to seal off the space!"
