Cangling Immortal Clan

Following the decree of the Eight-Armed Asura King, three hundred Asura Guards took to the air and stepped out of the Demon Lord's slumbering place.

Each of them exuded an aura as deep and boundless as the ocean, and with an extraordinary momentum, they stormed into the Haotian Ancient Realm.

"The demon race has revived."

At this moment, all the half-step Void Refinement cultivators who were attacking Xuanyuan Cave Heaven sensed their aura and immediately showed great fear.

The demon race is powerful, and the Asura Guards are the elite of the Asura Demon Race. In ancient times, they were capable of directly intervening in battles at the Void Refinement level.

Although these half-step Void Refinement cultivators were powerful, if they dared to stop the Asura Guards, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

At first, Xuanming Daojun also had a gloomy expression, but he quickly revealed a cold smile and stepped back, saying, "Everyone, this is a rare opportunity. After these Asura Guards break through the great formation, we will join forces to kill that brat Xuanyuan."

Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but sneer and stepped back to let the Asura Guards break the formation.

"Chong-"

Just as everyone retreated, the Asura Guards had fully unleashed their power. A full three hundred Asura Guards formed an astonishing battle formation, and the boundless nascent laws they unleashed stirred the heavens, colliding violently with the Xuan Yuan Cave Heaven Formation.

It must be admitted that the Asura Demon Guards are indeed the elite of the demon race. The battle formation of just three hundred people is extremely powerful. Even ordinary cultivators at the second or third level of the Void Refinement stage would probably not dare to block their combined attack.

However, the protective array of Xuanyuan Cave Heaven was also extraordinary. It was a super-giant array composed of several Xuantian spiritual treasures, the Myriad Transformation Immortal Tower, and a large number of array artifacts. It withstood the full force of the Asura Guard's attack.

Although the protective array of Xuanyuan Cave Heaven trembled violently from the attack, it ultimately showed no signs of being completely breached.

As the attack was about to be completed, the Asura Demon Guards erupted once more, with demonic array patterns piercing through the heavens and earth, colliding fiercely with the Xuan Yuan Cave Heaven.

Under the continuous bombardment, the vast Xuan Yuan Cave Heaven began to shake violently.

Even so, under the relentless bombardment of the Asura Demon Guards, the protective array of Xuanyuan Cave Heaven withstood the attack for seven days and seven nights without showing any signs of being completely breached.

"This Xuan Yuan Daoist's foundation is beyond imagination. He has repaired many fragments of Xuan Tian spiritual treasures. It seems that he has really obtained that spirit refining technique."

Within the dark rift, the Eight-Armed Asura King finally revealed a solemn expression. He looked at the Fallen Demon Lord and the Six Hell Spider King and said, "If this fiend breaks through to the Void Refinement stage, he will surely receive double the protection from the human race."

"If we cannot get rid of him today, he will surely become a great scourge in the future."

"You two take the demon soldiers and go there. You must completely annihilate them and give them no chance to turn the tables."

Although the two Demon Lords were still recovering from their injuries, they had no choice but to forcibly carry the precious treasures towards the Haotian Ancient Realm upon hearing this.

Meanwhile, in the vast Haotian Ancient Realm, the battle outside Xuanyuan Cave Heaven intensified. The Asura Demon Guards clashed with the protective array of Xuanyuan Cave Heaven, and the two sides were unable to determine a victor.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a demon god with three pairs of wings on his back and wielding a dark halberd burst through the dark void.

He made his move from afar, wielding a dark halberd that pierced through billions of miles of mountains and rivers, colliding fiercely with the protective array of Xuanyuan Cave Heaven.

In that instant, the vast array of Xuan Yuan Cave Heaven began to crumble, almost shattering the attack completely.

"Sky-Splitting Halberd!"

In an instant, Xuanming Daozun, who was watching the battle, showed a look of horror.

The Sky-Splitting Halberd is one of the twenty-four ancient divine artifacts of the Xuantian, an ancient Xuantian spiritual treasure that has been passed down for nearly ten million years.

Such a treasure possesses earth-shattering power; at its peak, it could unleash a force that could threaten even those at the sixth or seventh level of the Void Refinement Realm.

The Heaven-Splitting Halberd before them seemed to have fallen into darkness, and its power had been greatly reduced due to a lack of energy replenishment over the long years. However, under the urging of the Demon Lord from beyond the realm, it was still extremely terrifying.

"boom--"

Just as the Sky-Splitting Halberd was about to completely pierce through the great formation, a profound spiritual treasure within the formation erupted, barely managing to block the Sky-Splitting Halberd's murderous power under the formation's enhancement.

"Resisting stubbornly."

The Fallen Demon Lord sneered, raised his hand, and summoned a dark heavenly blade to slash down. It was the Heaven-Severing Blade, one of the twenty-four divine weapons of the heavens.

This attack was even more powerful, pushing the power of the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower and the great formation to their limits.

At that very moment, the Six Hells Demon Emperor also broke through the air and arrived. This ancient and supreme Refining Void Demon Lord did not hold back at all when he made his move. At the same time, he activated two Xuan Tian spiritual treasures to suppress the sky. Both of them were among the twenty-four divine artifacts of Xuan Tian.

But at that very moment, an ancient bell in the Xuan Yuan Cave Heaven soared into the air, unleashing astonishing divine power that clashed with several divine weapons, and for a time actually blocked the killing blows of the two demon emperors.

"The Heavenly Bell!"

The Fallen Demon Emperor was shocked the moment he saw this treasure.

It turns out that this ancient bell is the Youtian Bell, ranked seventh among the twenty-four divine artifacts of Xuantian.

The reason why the Netherworld Bell is here is because Ye Linyuan used the Pure White Lotus and the Myriad Transformations Immortal Light to suppress the turbid energy, thus awakening the one that was about to completely sink into depravity.

Although Ye Linyuan's current cultivation level can only temporarily help You Tianzhong suppress the turbid qi and keep You Tianzhong in a state of temporary clarity.

But that was enough. Ye Linyuan used this time of clarity to have the Netherworld Bell help him protect himself from the other twenty-four divine artifacts of the heavens.

The classification of Xuantian spiritual treasures is quite unique. Based on the number of Xuantian laws they contain, ordinary Xuantian spiritual treasures are divided into four levels: one-pattern, two-pattern, three-pattern, and four-pattern.

Each of these patterns represents a law, but the difference between these four types of Xuan Tian spiritual treasures is not too great. Generally, the strongest four-pattern Xuan Tian spiritual treasure is only about 80% stronger than a one-pattern Xuan Tian spiritual treasure.

Therefore, these four types of Xuan Tian spiritual treasures are collectively referred to as ordinary Xuan Tian spiritual treasures.
Xuan Tian Ling Bao with five or more patterns theoretically possesses the potential to transform into a quasi-creation divine weapon, and is therefore called a superior Xuan Tian Ling Bao.

However, depending on the number of laws contained within them, the power difference between superior Xuan Tian spiritual treasures is enormous.

Most superior Xuan Tian spiritual treasures only have five or six patterns, but they are still the things that the vast majority of Refinement Void Supremes dream of.

Seven-patterned Xuan Tian spiritual treasures are extremely rare, and are generally only accessible to experts at the sixth or seventh level of the Void Refinement stage. As for Xuan Tian spiritual treasures with eight or more patterns, they are divine weapons belonging to world lords.

The twenty-four divine artifacts of the ancient Nine Heavens Realm are all superior Xuantian spiritual treasures with immense power, and most of them possess six or seven Xuantian Dao patterns.

The Netherworld Bell, as the supreme treasure of the Netherworld Ancient Realm, is a top-tier Xuantian spiritual treasure at the eight-pattern level, ranking extremely high among the twenty-four divine weapons of Xuantian.

In fact, the Netherworld Bell is the only one of the twenty-four divine artifacts of the Mysterious Heaven that is still intact, with eight patterns.

At this moment, as the Netherworld Bell unleashed its power with the help of the great formation, it clashed fiercely with several corrupted Xuantian Divine Weapons, and for a time it was difficult to determine a clear winner.

Upon seeing this, the Fallen Demon Lord coldly said, "A superior Xuan Tian spiritual treasure, without the activation of the Refining Void Supreme, how much power can you unleash even with eight patterns?" As soon as he finished speaking, the Fallen Demon Lord unleashed his full power, pouring his supreme strength into the two divine weapons.

The Six Hell Spider King also went all out, using the power of the strongest laws to empower the two divine weapons to strike horizontally, unleashing a world-shaking and unparalleled attack.

In that battle, almost all of the Demon Clan's Void Refinement Supremes were wiped out, and even several powerful Demon Clan cultivators at the eighth level of Void Refinement perished.

Because the nine realm lords of the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm are too strong. As the strongest beings at the eighth level of the Void Refinement Realm, under the blessing of the realm lords of the Great Thousand Worlds, they can temporarily condense the laws within their bodies into the prototype of the Great Dao.

Therefore, the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm originally had nine very powerful half-step Integration Realm cultivators.

Otherwise, the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm could not have resisted Garuda Demon Lord for so many years, and in the end, it was the War of Conquest that forced him into a complete slumber.

This Fallen Demon Lord was once a supreme expert at the fifth level of Void Refinement, and the Six Hell Spider King was also an unparalleled demon lord at the sixth level of Void Refinement, but they were not yet qualified to attract the attention of the nine realm lords.

Because their cultivation levels were neither high nor low, they were not specifically targeted by world lord-level powerhouses and barely survived the final battle.

However, that battle did not end well for them either. The two Demon Lords were also completely crippled and slumbered for hundreds of thousands of years before barely awakening. Even now, they have only managed to recover some of their strength.

But they were, after all, peerless experts at the fifth or sixth level of the Void Refinement Realm. Even if they had only recovered a portion of their strength, they were still incredibly powerful, at least comparable to the former Undying Golden Ape Ancestor.

At this moment, the two powerful figures unleashed their full power, along with four Fallen Profound Heaven Spiritual Treasures, which swept across Cangxu. Streams of supreme power pierced through the great formation, almost completely shattering the protective formation of Xuanyuan Cave Heaven.

In just a moment, the protective array of Xuanyuan Cave Heaven was breached, and then endless destructive power slashed towards Ye Linyuan.

"die!"

Seeing that the formation was broken, the Fallen Demon Emperor was about to unleash his full power and kill Ye Linyuan's secluded cultivation site in one blow.

But at that very moment, the void suddenly froze.

Amidst the vast mountains and rivers, a figure dressed in white, as white as snow, strolled out.

The Fallen Demon Emperor looked up and saw Ye Xuqiu dressed in white, carrying a sword, his golden pupils looking in all directions, his eyes exuding an aura of dominance over the world.

"Lord of Haotian Realm!"

In an instant, the Fallen Demon Emperor was stunned and revealed an expression of extreme fear.

However, he quickly regained his senses and laughed loudly, saying, "You are not Him. You are merely a half-step Void Refinement cultivator. Even if you were the reincarnation of the Lord of Haotian Realm, you would surely die today."

"Is it?"

Ye Xuqiu's expression was peculiar; he was like an unparalleled god who had walked from ancient times, looking down on an ant in the mortal world.

He spoke calmly, then gently clenched his hands towards the void, causing the entire Haotian Ancient Realm to tremble violently.

Throughout the entire Haotian Ancient Realm, the dormant power of the Heavenly Dao seemed to begin to revive, and endless power of laws revived from the origin of heaven and earth, transforming into one after another chain of divine order that surged into Ye Xuqiu's body.

"No, stop him quickly!"

The Fallen Demon Lord was horrified and immediately tried to stop him, but was easily repelled by the power of endless laws.

At this moment, the endless power of the laws was absorbed by Ye Xuqiu and finally transformed into a tall and slender figure resembling an unparalleled emperor.

"Lord of Haotian Realm - Emperor of Nine Heavens Mysterious Response and Ten Thousand Swords Slaying Heaven".

"You have returned."

The Fallen Demon Lord's throat went dry, and he revealed an expression of extreme fear.

But the Six Hell Spider King saw through something and said with an icy gaze, "Don't worry, it's just the lingering will of the Haotian Realm Lord. Even if it returns, how much strength will it have?"

Ye Xuqiu remained calm, or rather, he was no longer the Ye Xuqiu of the past, but an invincible realm lord who had returned from millions of years ago.

“Millions of years ago, Brother Biantian’s Spirit Refining Technique was about to find a new master, so he and I made arrangements in advance, dispersing some of the origin and laws into the origin of heaven and earth.”

"Then a wisp of remnant soul was integrated into the Spirit Refining Technique, to follow the new master of the Spirit Refining Technique in reincarnation."

The remnant spirit of the Lord of Haotian Realm spoke slowly and deliberately, then glanced back at Ye Linyuan, who was in seclusion breaking through, and finally calmly condensed into a sword of law, saying, "Now I reclaim the laws that were left behind in the past."

"Even if this is only a small part of the power, it is more than enough to protect him in his path to enlightenment."

In an instant, the Lord of Haotian Realm shattered the sky, and as he swung his sword, countless sword laws pierced through the heavens. The power of this strike actually froze the entire void.

The Six Hell Spider King, however, possessed overwhelming combat power, wielding various divine weapons and demonic artifacts that continuously unleashed their power, doing his utmost to block the Haotian Realm Lord's attacks. He then said to the Fallen Demon Lord, "This Haotian Realm Lord's remnant spirit has no strength to fight for long."

"I'll stop him. You go and kill Ye Linyuan immediately."

"Alright." The Fallen Demon Lord suddenly appeared in the sky, commanding all kinds of demonic weapons to pierce through the heavens and charge towards Ye Linyuan.

At that very moment, the boundless power of laws converged between heaven and earth, transforming into a young man clad in a Taoist robe of celestial secrets.

Ye Yingxu strolled in calmly, carrying the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams diagram on her back, saying: "If you want to obstruct the path, you must first pass this test."

"Lord of the Changing Heaven Realm." The Fallen Demon Lord's expression changed slightly, but he said coldly, "Damn it, the human race's extraordinary destiny has actually been able to plan for today across millions of years."

"You think you can protect him even though it's just a wisp of remnant will?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Fallen Demon Lord unleashed his full power, unleashing devastating forces that clashed head-on with Ye Yingxu.

However, relying solely on his strength, he still found it difficult to break into the Xuan Yuan Cave Heaven for the time being.

Seeing the battle reach a stalemate, the Fallen Demon Lord showed no concern whatsoever. Instead, he sneered at the void and said, "Everyone from the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, if you don't make a move soon, do you intend to wait until that Xuan Yuan Daoist attains enlightenment and refines his void, and then take your heads?"

"As long as you make a move and sincerely transform into demonic cultivators, I can promise to let you submit to the Asura Demon Clan and be reincarnated as members of the Asura royal family in the Nine Nether Demon Realm."

Upon hearing this, Xuanming Daozun and the others could no longer sit still. They immediately broke through the air and rushed towards Xuanyuan Cave Heaven to attack.

At this point, the formation was already in a dire state and was retreating steadily in the face of the Asura Guard's battle formation. With the intervention of old monsters such as Xuanming Daozun, the war quickly reached a critical point.

"Fight them."

Seeing the battle reaching a stalemate, the various Heavenly Sovereigns of the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm had completely gone mad, each desperately trying to plug the gaps and fight a fierce battle against the Asura Guards and the half-step Void Refinement cultivators. (End of Chapter)
