Chapter 1132 The Demon Lord's Resurrection
The demonic calamity has continued to this day, and the demonic forces' offensive has completely stalled. For nearly thirty years, no ancient demons have crossed over to descend upon this realm.

As for the situation on the battlefield between the two worlds, it seems to have stabilized, and there have been no more emergency mobilizations. All races have been able to enjoy a rare period of peace and tranquility.

Although there had been no instances of ancient demons descending upon the realm for a long time, the Dao Palace still deployed heavy troops to guard this passage between the two realms within the human territory, remaining vigilant at all times.

Boom!

Suddenly, the passage between the two worlds trembled, and amidst the solemn expressions of the human cultivators, the passage connecting the two worlds began to shrink!

"It's about to disappear? The passage between the two worlds is closing!"

"I thought the demon realm was about to make another move, but I didn't expect the passage between the two realms to begin closing!"

"Is the war going to end? That's wonderful! The long-awaited peace has finally arrived!"

"Quickly, report this matter back to the Dao Palace. This war between the two realms is over."

"."

Not only in the human realm, but also on the Tianyuan Continent, and even throughout the entire Spirit Realm, the interdimensional passages are closing.

All the surviving creatures were filled with deep joy and relief. The demonic calamity was finally coming to an end. In this massive war between the two worlds, far too many creatures had died, leaving behind countless bones and widespread devastation.

The news that the war was about to end spread instantly, and the entire human race began to celebrate.

In this joyous atmosphere, all the tribes felt relieved, knowing that if the fighting had continued, the consequences would have been unimaginably tragic.

Several days passed, and gradually people began to notice that something was amiss.

The beings who went to fight on the battlefield between the two worlds have not yet returned!

boom!
In the vast wilderness of Tianyuan Continent, at the node where the battlefield between the two realms is located, a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage has arrived.

As a powerful aura was unleashed, all the weaker creatures around scattered and fled, not daring to linger near the battlefield between the two realms.

"The battlefield between the two worlds has disappeared? Could it have closed along with the spatial passage?"

Soon, powerful auras approached rapidly from all directions, and patriarchs of various races at the Mahayana stage came to investigate the situation of the battlefield between the two realms.

"How could this be? The battlefield between the two worlds has disappeared, but why hasn't anyone come out? Did they all die in battle?"

"Impossible. The soul lamp of our clan's Mahayana cultivator is still burning. It is absolutely impossible for him to have died in battle."

Li Qing naturally learned of such a major event immediately. He promptly ended his seclusion and rushed to the node where the battlefield between the two worlds was located as quickly as possible.

The Mahayana cultivators from various races couldn't help but turn their gazes to Li Qing. Some Mahayana cultivators had already gotten to know him before, while others, although they had never interacted with him, were still aware of the prestige of this Human Race's Limitless Heavenly Venerable.

"Fellow Daoist Wuji, you've arrived. Have you noticed anything?" an elder of the Fire Spirit Clan asked.

At this moment, Li Qing carefully examined the void above where spatial fluctuations were faintly still present, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Judging from the remaining spatial fluctuations, the disappearance of the Two Realms Battlefield must have been quite abrupt, somewhat like a large-scale teleportation that took the entire Two Realms Battlefield away," Li Qing said with some suspicion.

Upon hearing this, the other Mahayana practitioners from other ethnic groups seemed to agree with this statement, and they all had similar speculations.

"That's not right. The closure of the passage between the two worlds should be a slow and steady process. It shouldn't leave behind such strong spatial fluctuations."

"It really does look like an entire void battlefield suddenly disappeared. In a sense, it does resemble a large-scale teleportation."

Before long, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and snowflakes began to dance in the air.

The Great Ascension Ancestor of the Ice Spirit Clan has arrived. This time, it was Ancestor Ice Flower who came to investigate the situation. Her tone was extremely urgent and worried: "What exactly happened? Why did the battlefield between the two realms disappear? Why haven't any of my Ice Spirit Clan members come out?"

No one present knew the answer to this question, and naturally, no one could answer it.

For some reason, Li Qing felt increasingly uneasy. He tried to understand the secrets of heaven and observe the changes in the heavenly cycle with his eyes, but he gained nothing and had no idea where this feeling of unease came from.

He quickly recalled what the carefree Celestial Venerable had told him before. Back then, the carefree Celestial Venerable had suspected that a dramatic change might occur on the battlefield between the two realms, and now it had finally happened.

Then, he recalled the fundamental purpose behind the Demon Realm's previous massive war.

"Something's not right," Li Qing muttered to himself, his brows furrowed.

The next moment, in the void beyond the nine heavens, all the Mahayana stage experts clearly sensed a vast and boundless fluctuation.

Boom!

In an instant, the entire sky of the spirit world was plunged into deep darkness, as if night had suddenly fallen.

The sun went out?!

"In the outer void, I sensed the aura of my clan's Mahayana cultivators!"

"Go and see!"

boom! boom! boom!
All the Mahayana stage experts present unleashed astonishing speed, their figures vanishing from the Tianyuan Continent in an instant and disappearing into the void.

Li Qing was also preparing to enter the void to see what was going on, but soon he discovered that many crystal-clear threads had inexplicably appeared in his field of vision.

These threads, their origin unknown, bound and tethered his body with each one.

Upon seeing this scene, Li Qing gasped. Having already integrated many fragments of the Demon Lord's memories, he quickly recognized the origin of these threads.

His voice was somewhat hoarse as he spoke: "The threads of cause and effect... the Demon Lord seeks revenge."

Before he could even finish speaking, these threads of cause and effect wrapped around Li Qing's body, forming a transparent cocoon of light.

Li Qing's aura suddenly trembled, as if undergoing a tumultuous change. He felt his consciousness being pulled away from his body, gradually losing control over himself.

"cause and effect."

A detached voice resounded in Li Qing's ears, and then, in his sea of ​​consciousness, a will that seemed to crush all the heavens and myriad worlds awakened.

Li Qing couldn't see the source of these causal threads, but each one was deeply entwined around his soul, tearing him from his physical body. This loss of control over his body was unstoppable; he could only watch helplessly as his body began to be possessed by that extremely terrifying will, allowing it to dominate everything. The Demon Lord cultivated the Law of Cause and Effect, and his attainment in this path was extremely profound, making him practically a half-ancestor of the Law of Cause and Effect.

The so-called cause and effect means that the result is the result of the cause, and all things in the world are subject to the cycle of cause and effect.

In an instant, Li Qing understood that from the moment he was born into this world, he owed the Demon Lord an immense debt of karma.

Later, as he learned blacksmithing, he extended his lifespan by forging ironware, and then entered the world of cultivation. All of this was due to the karma he owed to the Demon Lord.

As he entered the world of cultivation, he grew step by step with his long lifespan, and his karmic connection with the Demon Lord became increasingly profound.

All the causal threads currently entwined around him are formed from the extra lifespan he gained over the years through weapon crafting.

The Demon Lord gripped the source of the causal threads tightly; at this moment, he was like a puppet on strings, utterly unable to resist.

Now that the Demon Lord has taken over his body and begun to dominate everything he does, it is to repay the karmic debts he has incurred along the way.

Gradually, Li Qing, like an observer, watched as the threads of cause and effect on his body gradually merged into his body.

The next moment, his eyes turned incredibly cold, as if he had become a completely different person.

"Your Highness, come here."

The Demon Lord spoke softly, as if he were conversing with the entire world, or as if he were issuing a decree.

Boom!

The void suddenly exploded, inch by inch the space collapsed and caved in, and an ancient and mottled huge palace pressed down.

The Xuan Tian Immortal Palace appeared, a palace that countless powerful figures in the Spirit Realm had been eyeing, yet it descended from the sky with just a single word from the Demon Lord.

Soon, the celestial palace, shrouded in chaotic mist, shrank and became miniature, landing directly in the Demon Lord's palm.

"This humble temple congratulates the Immortal Venerable of Karma on his return to the mortal realm!" The usually mechanical and rigid spirit of the Xuan Tian Immortal Temple now adopted a fawning and awe-inspiring tone before this Demon Venerable.

Li Qing's lips curled up into a playful smile. He stretched out his finger and pulled several threads of cause and effect, which connected his body to the Xuan Tian Immortal Palace.

"You're quite shrewd, getting this kid to agree to something with you so early on, leaving me no choice but to fulfill this karmic obligation."

Xuan Tian Immortal Palace hurriedly responded, "I beg the Immortal Venerable to punish me for my overstepping of my bounds!"

But the Demon Lord let go of those few threads, saying nonchalantly, "It's nothing, it's just taking you back to the Immortal Realm, it's nothing."

Upon hearing this, the Xuan Tian Immortal Palace was immediately filled with joy: "When does the Immortal Venerable plan to return to the Immortal Realm? I sense that the Chaos Immortal Treasure seems to have been born. Does the Immortal Venerable intend to retrieve his treasure now?"

However, the Demon Lord shook his head, his gaze piercing through the layers of spatial barriers, looking towards a mysterious and unknown direction: "There's no rush to return to the Immortal Realm. Those old friends up there have completely shut down the path to ascension in this realm cluster, and they're all wary of me."

"If you forcibly ascend from this realm, it will be detected immediately."

"Before that, there are still some preparations that need to be made."

At this point, the Demon Lord spoke in a calm voice: "Boy, you don't need to feel so unwilling. After I return to the Immortal Realm, I will separate your consciousness from this body and find you a new body to possess."

"I will take you to ascend to the Immortal Realm. This is something that countless beings have dreamed of since the beginning of time. It can also be considered as repaying the foundation of the Chaos Law that you laid for me."

These words were naturally directed at Li Qing. The Demon Lord, who had been resurrected, could easily converse with Li Qing, having already become the master of this body through the law of cause and effect.

But the next moment, a voice as faint as a whisper rang out: "Dream on."

The Demon Lord shook his head and said, "I know you have made a lot of preparations for this day and made promises everywhere, leaving behind karma, but it doesn't matter. I will personally repay all the karmic debts you have incurred."

With that, the Demon Lord snapped his fingers, and his figure instantly appeared in the outer sea area of ​​Tianyuan Continent. This was an archipelago, and many pirate ships could be seen anchored at the edge of the islands.

boom!
The Demon Lord unleashed a massive surge of energy, instantly calming the churning waves.

The next moment, the Demon Lord's fingers moved the threads of cause and effect. One of the threads was connected to a huge ship. Following the pull of this thread, a pirate wearing a one-eyed eyepatch was pulled out.

This person was naturally Xia Wushuang. Back in the Canglan Continent, Li Qing had promised Xia Wushuang that he would break the Great Dao oath that prevented him from ever stepping into the Tianyuan Continent. This was the causal thread connecting him and Xia Wushuang.

"Li Qing? What are you doing here?!" Xia Wushuang exclaimed in shock, but he was quickly overwhelmed by the powerful aura emanating from Li Qing, and stared in horror at this somewhat unfamiliar 'Li Qing'.

The Demon Lord did not reply, his indifferent eyes gazing at the sky, two beams of spiritual light bursting forth from his pupils.

Buzz!

The Great Dao is lamenting. The Demon Lord has used supreme means to directly erase the Great Dao oath that Xia Wushuang made to never set foot on the Tianyuan Continent!

After doing all this, the Demon Lord punched through the void, opening a spatial passage that led directly to the human territory of the Tianyuan Continent.

"This is..." Xia Wushuang stared wide-eyed at the familiar surroundings and scenery at the other end of the void passage.

"From now on, you can return to the Tianyuan Continent." The Demon Lord replied indifferently, and then threw Xia Wushuang directly into the void passage.

Just as the Demon Lord was about to settle the karmic debts owed by Li Qing, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards the void beyond the nine heavens.

"These few demon cubs from the Demon Realm are quite capable; they actually managed to pinpoint the location of the Chaos Immortal Treasure."

"We need to go there first. If we cause too much of a commotion, it will inevitably attract some unnecessary attention from the Immortal Realm."

With that, the Demon Lord drew a line in the void with his finger, and a spatial rift was created. He stepped into it and disappeared into the void.

But just after he entered the void, his body trembled violently, and several causal threads on his body were uncontrollably pulling at his body.

Li Qing, who had been suppressed by the Demon Lord, has now found room to fight back and is trying to regain control of his physical body.

"Hehe, not bad, not bad. You've learned to control the threads of cause and effect so quickly. Among my many inheritors, you are the first to comprehend this so quickly."

"But if that's all you've got, you're still far from perfect."

After speaking, the Demon Lord pointed two fingers at his brow, and the few causal threads on his body that Li Qing had been controlling immediately retracted and fell under his control.
