Honghuang: The Golden Crow Emperor, starts by robbing the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 971 Forbidden to Enter the Human Realm
Human nature is driven by self-interest and avoids harm. While some powerful individuals may not dare to touch the methods to break through to the Dao Integration Realm, they will definitely flock to methods to "break through the upper limit" or "break through to the level of Emperor or Dao Lord".

"The spark has been thrown down; it's only a matter of time before it ignites a prairie fire," Ling Xiao said.

A moment later, the wills of Luo Hou, Yang Mei Ancestor, Tai Qing, and others gradually withdrew, leaving Ling Xiao alone in Zi Xiao Palace, as if waiting for something.

One day after the sermon ended, the Chaos Sea suddenly churned, and a vast and boundless aura roared in, approaching the Purple Cloud Palace.

The illusory image left behind by Ling Xiao instantly sensed that this was the aura of the Dao Integration Realm.

"coming."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure forcefully broke through the chaos and entered the Purple Cloud Palace.

It was a figure dressed in purple robes, who had transformed into a human. He had a peaceful expression and a stout figure, looking like a wealthy landlord. He did not resemble one of the eighteen Dao Integration experts who overlooked the Heavenly Realm and the Demon Abyss at all.

"Hahaha!" A clear, loud laugh rang out, and the stout figure strode straight into Zixiao Palace. "Which fellow Daoist is plotting something here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Zixiao Palace trembled slightly.

Ling Xiao curled his lips slightly: "As expected, my hastily assembled Zixiao Palace is still too weak, it will fall apart at the slightest touch."

He stood up from the cloud bed, took a step, and came to the figure.

"Who are you?" The fat figure looked Ling Xiao up and down, his eyes full of confusion. "I thought you were a fellow Daoist from the Heavenly Realm or the Demon Abyss. I didn't expect you to be a new friend."

"Indeed, greetings, fellow Daoist!" Ling Xiao raised his hand in greeting. "You arrived so quickly, you seem to be in a hurry?"

"How can we not be anxious?" The fat figure stared intently at Ling Xiao. "When this world was first created, we dug a huge pit at the source of the path of cultivation to prevent anyone from reaching the realm of gods and demons. Now, you have pulled those fools out of the pit and filled it in. How can we not be furious?" As he spoke, a sharp, cold light flashed in his eyes.

"So what?" Ling Xiao sneered. "Do you think that born gods and demons are afraid of beings born later or innate who cultivate to the same level as you? You're really pathetic."

"Oh?" The fat figure stared at Ling Xiao, but still couldn't discern his origins. "You seem to share a similar essence with us, only you're far too weak..."

"Heh, I have long since perished; now I am but a lingering thought," Ling Xiao said calmly.

"Don't try to fool me!" the fat figure sneered. "In this world, no expert at the Divine Demon Realm has ever truly perished. And you say you're weak, could it be..."

At this point, he suddenly stopped, his gaze sharpening. "Are you a newly born being from the chaos, or an existence killed by my master back then, or perhaps the bewildering will of Heaven in the mortal realm?"

He spoke coldly, bluntly questioning Ling Xiao's identity.

“You can give it a try,” Ling Xiao said loudly, sitting cross-legged.

"No need." The fat figure shook his head, then flicked his sleeves and extended a hand.

In an instant, a giant hand formed from ten thousand bolts of lightning appeared in the chaos outside the Purple Cloud Palace, and it clenched its fist slightly.

boom!
The Purple Cloud Palace shattered instantly, then was swallowed by lightning and torn into nothingness.

"There's no need to test them." The obese figure waved his hand, his tone chilling.

Just then, figures emerged from the chaos.

Among them are seven Dao Lords comparable to saints, and dozens of Emperors equivalent to quasi-saints.

The identity of this corpulent figure was self-evident; he was none other than the "Nine Heavens Thunder Ancestor," one of the nine celestial rulers. The Dao Lords and Emperors surrounded the Nine Heavens Thunder Ancestor, as if welcoming a supreme being.

"My lord!" A Daoist master stepped forward respectfully, "Should we enter the mortal realm and wipe out those who have obtained the inheritance?"

"No need." The Thunder Ancestor of the Nine Heavens waved his hand. "From now on, you shall not enter the mortal realm, and the Heavenly Realm shall not interfere."

"Ah? This..." Daojun and the emperors were all astonished, but after a moment they understood the reason.

"The great war between gods and demons is coming soon. When the time comes, I will take care of those ants with you all." As soon as the Nine Heavens Thunder Ancestor finished speaking, he flicked his finger, and countless streams of light were brewing in his palm before flying off to other celestial realms and the Demon Abyss.

The Dao Lords and Emperors dared not say anything and waited quietly.

After a moment, the Thunder Ancestor of the Nine Heavens nodded: "Alright, you and the people from the Heavenly Realm and the Demon Abyss go and set up the Myriad Laws Restriction Formation to completely seal off the mortal realm, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving!"

"Yes." Daojun and the emperors now fully understood his intentions.

In just a few days, the powerful figures from the Nine Heavens Realm and the Nine Demon Abyss joined forces, sparing no expense to set up a Great Array that Forbidden All Laws, enveloping the entire mortal realm.

From then on, powerful figures in the human realm were unable to go out, and even methods of communication and telepathy became completely ineffective.

Meanwhile, on the shores of the East China Sea, Ling Xiao looked up at the all-encompassing, law-restricting array that enveloped the heavens and earth, and chuckled: "Interesting, decisive indeed. Sensing something amiss, you immediately resort to swift and ruthless measures."

He instantly understood the other party's intention.

Several figures appeared out of thin air; they were none other than the powerful beings Taiqing, Luohou, and the God of Life and Death who remained in the mortal realm.

"Everyone, you did a good job just now, thank you," Ling Xiao said, nodding.

"You felt it, didn't you? Those guys have sealed off the entrance and exit to the human world; they're probably going to destroy the world." Luo Hou looked at the great formation in the sky and sneered incessantly.

According to the historical records they collected, the human world has experienced several cataclysmic events, with over 99% of living beings perishing each time, before a new cycle of reincarnation begins.

Since the human realm is immortal and indestructible, just like the celestial realm and the demon abyss, they don't need to hold back when they destroy the world.

“However, this also gives us an opportunity.” Taiqing said, raising his hand to calculate for a moment, “According to my calculations, the war between gods and demons will begin in less than ten thousand years.”

"That is our chance," the God of Life and Death sighed.

Although he was either an opponent or even a mortal enemy of Ling Xiao and others in the Great Chaos World, after arriving in this unfamiliar chaotic world and standing on the same side, he had to admit that Ling Xiao's plan was very reliable. It was like killing three birds with one stone: the transmission of the law not only introduced variables into the human world, but also aroused the greed of some people, and temporarily diverted the attention of gods and demons from the human world, buying them time to develop.

“In that case, let’s proceed as planned,” Ling Xiao said immediately.

These powerful beings from the primordial chaos would not be blocked by the so-called forbidden formation; they had other means of communication.

Everyone nodded and then dispersed.

Although they had ten thousand years to prepare, it was still extremely urgent for them.

Ling Xiao watched their departing figures, then looked up at the sky and slowly said, "Only ten thousand years left..."
