Chapter 1118 Human Race's Desperate Situation
Rumble!
Dark thunder roared in the sky, and a black rain poured down.

This was a demonic rain, caused by the fall of a demonic ancestor. His demonic cultivation had dissipated, directly affecting the celestial phenomena of the spirit realm and bringing down a torrential downpour imbued with demonic energy.

At this moment, on the Tianyuan Continent, within the human realm, every human cultivator watching this torrential rain that symbolized the fall of the Demon Realm's Holy Ancestor showed no sign of joy.

Because Taiyuan Tianzun had also perished before!
The Celestial Venerable who had protected humanity for millions of years, deterred other races, and repeatedly saved humanity from dire straits, still chose to fight to the death at the last moment of his life, using his own death as a price to wear down a Demon Ancestor who had crossed over from another realm.

In an instant, in every major city in the human territory, the shrines of longevity belonging to Taiyuan Tianzun were filled with incense, and the statue of Taiyuan Tianzun inside the shrines emitted a soft glow.

"May the Celestial Venerable rest in peace!"

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Heavenly Venerable Taiyuan!"

"Farewell, Heavenly Lord!"

"."

Cultivators throughout the human realm were moved to tears, their gratitude and sorrow stemming from the depths of their hearts.

Over the years, whenever humanity has been in dire straits and perilous situations, the figure of Taiyuan Tianzun has always appeared, saving the collapsing edifice and turning the tide.

It is now the third year since the start of the battle between the two realms. Countless lives have died in the Void Battlefield, but the war shows no signs of ending. The Demon Realm continues to frantically send lives into the battlefield.

Aside from the interdimensional passage that has been transformed into a void battlefield, the other interdimensional passages connecting to the Demon Realm are still being attacked by a continuous stream of ancient demons.

For example, the interdimensional passage opened in the human territory was previously visited by a holy ancestor from the demon realm who wanted to destroy the human race.

If it weren't for the intervention of the Supreme Celestial Venerable Taiyuan, who was stationed in the Dao Palace, the human race would have been completely wiped out by now.

The fall of a demon ancestor did not deter the invasion of the ancient demon race; a steady stream of ancient demons continued to invade human territory from that passage.

This war seems to be going on forever, constantly demonstrating the cruel truth of war.

Feixian City, a city steeped in history and rich in spiritual heritage, is now filled with a chilling aura of demons, with ferocious and terrifying demonic figures flitting past.

The city walls were already dilapidated and looked like they were about to collapse at any moment. It was only because of the great formation inside the city that they were protected; otherwise, this Flying Immortal City would have long since become a demonic land.

"Lord of the city, we can't hold on any longer. Nine more demonic war beasts at the Nascent Soul stage have arrived outside the city. The city gates are already on the verge of collapse and may not be able to withstand more attacks."

"Senior White-Browed, make a decision quickly, or we will all be buried along with this city!"

"Lord Whitebrow City, the message for help sent to the Dao Palace has still not received a reply. I don't know what has happened to the Palace."

The city lord of Feixian City is the White-Browed Taoist who once did Li Qing a favor. The Devouring Abyss Venerable of the Taotie family and Hu Chuan once tried to harm Li Qing, but the city lord resolved the situation single-handedly.

The White-Browed City Lord's face was furrowed with worry, and his eyes were filled with sorrow.

He gazed at the weary figures rushing about in the city below, then at the dense swarms of demons outside the city, and clenched his powerful fists.

While abandoning the city and fleeing would offer him a sliver of hope, the civilians and cultivators within would be utterly devoured by the demons.

"Taiyuan Tianzun also perished, using his own life to drag down the Demon Realm Saint Ancestor who crossed over from another realm. Xiaoyao Tianzun was still trapped in the battlefield between the two realms and had no power to care about anything else."

"Escape? Where can we escape to? Where in the entire human territory is not engulfed in war? Even the Dao Palace is too busy to take care of itself. How can there be any peace in this world?"

"I will live and die with Flying Immortal City. Before I die, I will absolutely not allow the ancient demons outside the city to set foot inside. The Flying Immortal Land and the Celestial Venerable's Temple of Longevity within the city will not be defiled by the demons."

After saying this, the still weak City Lord White Eyebrows rushed out of the City Lord's Mansion, took over the great formation in the city, mobilized the power of heaven and earth, and once again resisted the fierce attack of the ancient demons outside the city.

boom! boom! boom!
Less than a hundred miles away from Feixian City, nine enormous demonic war beasts were marching heavily toward Feixian City.

Each demonic war beast is a war behemoth specially raised by the demon race. Not only is it as large as a mountain, but its body is also indestructible. Its body surface is also marked with mysterious demonic runes, which can resist most attacks from Taoist magic and supernatural powers.

Gradually, the heavy footsteps grew more and more intense, causing the entire city wall of Feixian City to tremble.

The scene was incredibly oppressive; with nine seventh-tier demonic war beasts, Flying Immortal City was doomed.

Having taken over the city's protective formation, the White-Browed City Lord, who was at the heart of the formation, couldn't help but feel a deep sense of despair.

He had been through a series of battles over the past few days and had hardly had time to rest. He was now completely exhausted.

"Gentlemen, fight me to the death!" the White-browed City Lord roared in a deep voice, then activated the great formation and launched an attack on the nine demonic war beasts that came in succession.

Boom!

One of the demon beasts suffered a wound and its advance slowed down, but the other eight demon beasts accelerated and rushed towards the thick walls of Flying Immortal City.

Eight muffled thuds rang out in succession, cracks spread across the thick, mottled city walls, and the foundations of the great formation within the city were affected.

"Pfft!" The White-browed City Lord, who suffered a backlash from the formation, spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood and almost died. He was too weak after all, and he couldn't even withstand the first wave of attacks from the demonic war beasts.

As the city walls and protective formations were about to collapse under the feet of the demonic war beasts, all the cultivators in the city fell into deep despair.

Just then, a silver light tore through the dark, rain-soaked sky, followed by a blinding golden sword light that burst forth.

Sonorous!

This sword strike seemed to cleave the heavens and earth; its extremely sharp light was unstoppable. The nine demonic war beasts outside the city were neatly split in two by this stunning sword strike, their thick, inky black blood staining the earth.

The numerous demonic figures surrounding Flying Immortal City were all terrified, staring incredulously at the source of the sword light.

Then, a tall figure with silver bone wings flapping behind him and a golden sword held diagonally in one hand came into their view.

"Venerable Wuji... How could he possibly be here? Wasn't he being held back by the Crown Prince of the War Demon Clan?!"

"Even the War Demon Prince is no match for him; this person is far too powerful!"

"The rumors are true. This person is definitely a human cultivator who can prove his Dao and become a Venerable."

"Let's go, we'll fight again another day!"

Li Qing, who had rushed over, had a cold look in his eyes. He put two fingers together and activated the power of the Chaos Law to enhance the Immortal Slaughtering Sword.

The next moment, sword energy mixed with chaotic power rippled outwards, dissolving and disintegrating all the demonic energy along its path. None of the ancient demons survived; they all perished under Li Qing's domineering and devastating sword strike. After doing all this, he dragged his weary body to the foot of the gate of Flying Immortal City.

In an instant, a deafening cheer erupted from within the city:
"The Venerable Wuji has arrived! We are saved!"

"A sword that can ascend to immortality is too powerful, Venerable Wuji. We are truly saved."

"Open the city gates quickly! Open the city gates quickly and let Senior Wuji into the city."

Boom!

The city gates swung open, and countless cultivators, overjoyed at their rescue, gathered at the foot of the gates before kneeling before the tall figure wielding a golden killing sword.

"Thank you so much, Venerable Wuji, for saving my life!"

"Thank you very much, Senior Wuji!"

"."

The White-Browed City Lord, whose mouth was stained with blood, immediately flew to the city gate. He looked at Li Qing in front of him, and tears streamed down his face. It was as if he saw a future human celestial being walking towards him.

He thought of the recently deceased Taiyuan Tianzun, and the Xiaoyao Tianzun who was still fighting a bitter battle on the battlefield between the two realms.

At this moment, tears streamed down his face. The human race is now too empty, and it truly needs a third Celestial Venerable to appear and save the human race from its suffering.

"Hehe, Lord White-browed City, it's been many years. How have you been?" Li Qing greeted the old man who had once been kind to him in a tired voice.

Before the White-Browed City Lord could speak, tears welled up in his eyes. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Fellow Daoist Wuji, thanks to you, otherwise Flying Immortal City would have been in grave danger."

At this point, he seemed to remember something and quickly said, "By the way, two days ago, Mengshan City and Yuanfeng City both sent requests for help, and it seems that they are about to fall into the hands of the ancient demons. Fellow Daoist Wuji, if you still have the strength, why don't you set off again?"

However, Li Qing waved his hand and said in an extremely tired voice, "I have already been there. Feixian City was the last stop. The crisis has been resolved."

As he spoke, he walked toward the Flying Immortal Land in the center of the city. His steps looked somewhat heavy, as the continuous battles had left him quite exhausted.

After returning to the Spirit Realm from the Ancient Dragon Realm, he barely had any time to catch his breath, spending almost all his time fighting against the Ancient Demon Clan.

Just a few days ago, he was ambushed by the prince of the Demon Realm War Demon Clan and surrounded by thirteen powerful War Demon Clan members. Even so, he fought his way out and killed the War Demon Clan prince with his sword.

After that, he traveled tirelessly to seven cities, saving them from destruction. Along the way, none of the ancient demons he encountered survived; they all died by his sword.

Li Qing strode heavily to the center of Flying Immortal City. He was not going to the Land of Flying Immortals, but stopped in front of a Shrine of Longevity.

A faint light emanated from inside the ancestral hall; it was from the lit incense sticks.

He took three incense sticks, lit them, and placed them in the incense burner in front of the statue of Taiyuan Tianzun.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Heavenly Venerable, may you have a safe journey!"

After doing all this, Li Qing gradually calmed his grief. He looked up at the sky, where the dark, demonic rain had stopped.

He still vividly remembered the scene of Taiyuan Tianzun's demise, and he could hardly bear to recall it any longer.

After the fall of Taiyuan Tianzun, the human race is now extremely vulnerable, lacking even a Mahayana stage expert to oversee it.

If another Demon Ancestor were to cross over from another realm, the consequences would be unimaginable; the entire human race would likely be wiped out.

Upon thinking of this, Li Qing felt a strong sense of urgency. He could naturally deal with ancient demons below the Mahayana stage, but if a powerful expert above the Mahayana stage came, he would have a hard time dealing with them.

"Go back to seclusion and prepare to break through to the Mahayana stage," Li Qing muttered to himself, his fists clenching involuntarily.

Just as he spread his Wind and Thunder Silver Wings, preparing to return to the Refining Heaven Pavilion, his heart suddenly clenched, and an extremely ominous premonition arose.

"Boy, an unknown Mahayana-stage being is coming!" These words were spoken by Jade Spirit Venerable.

Immediately afterwards, an overwhelming aura pressed down from the distant sky onto the human territory!
Li Qing felt a chill run down his spine. He discerned the direction from which the aura was coming and quickly realized that it was not from the Demon Realm passage, nor was it the second Demon Realm Saint Ancestor who had crossed over to another realm!
"Oh no, it's heading straight for the Refining Heaven Pavilion!" Li Qing's blood suddenly turned cold. He saw a colossal hand reaching out from the distant horizon, ignoring the distance in space and grabbing directly at the location of the Refining Heaven Pavilion.

In an instant, Li Qing realized that this was probably not a Mahayana stage being from the Demon Realm, but a dark force from the Spirit Realm, and very likely an ancestor of a powerful clan from the Tianyuan Continent.

This unknown Mahayana-stage being had a thorough understanding of the human race's situation. It knew that the Carefree Celestial Venerable was trapped in the battlefield between the two realms and could not extricate himself, while the Supreme Celestial Venerable had just fallen not long ago, and now was the time when the human race was at its weakest.

The most precious thing for the human race is naturally the "Refining Heaven Scripture"!

It contains the secrets of the Heavenly Treasure and the Chaos Treasure. If one can obtain it, one will have the opportunity to refine the Chaos Treasure. This is a legacy that all the powerful clans of the Tianyuan Continent covet.

Now is the perfect opportunity to seize it, and those Mahayana stage experts will naturally not miss it!
Li Qing's eyes immediately turned bloodshot. He pointed two fingers at his heart and then stared intently at the giant hand reaching out from the distant horizon.

The hand landed below the Refining Heaven Pavilion, effortlessly lifting all the buildings as easily as if it were a stone.

The great formation protecting the Refining Heaven Pavilion was utterly powerless against this colossal hand, and collapsed in an instant.

"Kid, calm down. Even if you risk your life now, you can't possibly defeat a Mahayana-stage being. It's just throwing your life away!"

"Although I don't know how you plan to fight, the gap between you and the Mahayana stage is still too great. Unless you let that person from three years ago take over your body again, you have no chance of winning!"

"As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!"

Yu Ji Lingzun spoke rapidly, trying to dissuade Li Qing. She had naturally sensed the intense emotional fluctuations Li Qing was experiencing at that moment.

But Li Qing's closed fingers still probed inch by inch into his heart, as if he wanted to cut open his own heart.

At that very moment, a resounding phoenix cry echoed throughout the human realm.

"Wow!"

Above Fengxia City, a multicolored phantom of a celestial phoenix soared through the sky and plunged into the vast void in the shortest possible time.

The Feng family has made its move. This time, it's not just about intimidation and warning, but about directly using the family's resources to summon a True Spirit Phoenix to save humanity.
