The First Sage of Military Strategists

"Hmph, Destruction Demon, every time you activate the Eye of Destruction, you consume a lot of power. Moreover, it's hard to say how much power it actually has. You can indeed block our combined attack, but how many times can you block it?" the Mo family leader suddenly said.

"Then, you're next!"

The Eye of Destruction opened again, and with a whoosh, a purple beam shot out from it, heading straight for the leader of the Mo family.

This beam of light pierced through time and space, and the leader of the Mo family had no time to dodge. The purple light descended directly upon him.

The latter suddenly let out a scream, its body twisting and contorting, and its breath weakening.

"No, how could I possibly die?"

The leader of the Mohist school had a ferocious expression as he mobilized all his power to fight against this destructive force. In an instant, ripples of earth-shattering power spread out from his body.

Everyone quickly moved aside, but the next moment, an extremely horrifying scene unfolded.

The Mohist leader's body couldn't withstand this force, and his roar abruptly stopped, turning into specks of light that scattered between heaven and earth.

"The old devil of the Mo family is dead?"

"This force is too terrifying. Even the old ghost of the Mo family couldn't withstand it. Who here can resist it?"

"The destruction of the Heavenly Demon is truly a catastrophe for this world!"

...

Everyone looked solemn, even Nian Wanxiu showed a hint of apprehension.

"No one can withstand the Eye of Destruction. Now tell me the answer: either bow down and submit, or die!" Han Yi's voice echoed.

Nian Wanxiu suddenly cupped his hands and said, "Destroyer of Heaven, I come from the Upper Realm and have no intention of interfering in the conflicts of this world. You may kill whomever you wish, as many as you wish. Farewell!"

After saying that, he turned and left, suddenly taking off and flying rapidly towards the outside of the palace.

"Did I say you could leave?" The third eye between the brows of the Destruction Demon opened once more, and in an instant, a purple beam of light shot out from its heart.

Nian Wanxiu's expression changed drastically. He suddenly leaped upwards and disappeared into the world, taking the purple beam of light with him with him.

"Hmm? Your escape techniques are quite impressive." The Demon of Destruction's tone was slightly surprised.

This palace has been completely sealed off by demonic energy. Except for a very few advanced escape techniques, most other flying techniques will be ineffective. Yet Nian Wanxiu was able to escape and avoid his destructive gaze. This situation is extremely rare.

Han Qing recognized this escape technique; it was exactly the same as the one Jian Wuhen had used that day, allowing him to leap out of this world and escape into the chaotic void.

"go!"

At this moment, the Heavenly Sound Pavilion Master and the Azure Cloud Sword Immortal suddenly took flight, both flying in different directions. Emperor Yu also chose to flee without hesitation.

"I said it before, everyone must die!!"

The Demon of Destruction flickered, suddenly splitting into three phantoms that sped off in the direction the three had flown.

Han Qing did not move, because the true form of the Destruction Demon remained still. Demonic energy surged around him, layer upon layer, like a cage, trapping him inside.

The next instant, the Demon of Destruction suddenly opened its eyes, and a purple beam of light shot out from between its brows, heading straight for Han Qing.

Han Qing was prepared. The moment he opened his eyes, he suddenly flashed into the Boundless Monument.

He wanted to use the three great treasures to resist this destructive force, and then find an opportunity to kill this demon.

With such terrifying power, he couldn't believe that the Destruction Demon could operate indefinitely.

However, Han Qing miscalculated. When he appeared inside the Boundless Monument, he was surprised to find that the purple light had also pursued him and suddenly struck his body. "Master, this power can break through the time and space barrier, I can't stop it!" Elder Ming's voice echoed.

Han Qing had no intention of answering at this point. He had fallen into an endless illusion, and was feeling drowsy. His soul and body were rapidly dissipating, and his life force was rapidly fading away.

At that moment, he truly felt death approaching.

He could not resist this force, because it was a force of rules, a distortion of the rules of Heaven. No matter how strong your physique or how high your level of understanding of the Dao, you cannot fight against the rules, just as life is destined to end and no one can change that.

"Master, wake up! Don't sleep!" Elder Ming could sense that Han Qing's life force was rapidly weakening.

Once he dies, the Old Man of the Underworld will fall into a deep sleep again, waiting for the next destined person to regain control of the Boundless Monument.

However, no matter how it called out, Han Qing's death seemed inevitable, and his life force continued to wane, becoming weaker and weaker.

Old Man Ming didn't know what to do, but he knew he had to get away from the Destruction Demon. So, with a whoosh, it flew directly out of the palace and continued to fly into the distance, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

The Destroyer Demon did not pursue, because he was also at his limit.

The Destructive Gaze is indeed terrifying, but it consumes his original demonic energy.

If this glint of light fails to kill Han Qing, then he himself will ultimately be the one to die.

"Interesting, you managed to withstand it for so long. However, once you're struck by the Destruction Eye, death is your inescapable fate!" The Destruction Demon stood at the palace gate, gazing into the distance, shook his head, and turned back to the palace.

After a great battle, the imperial city returned to a deathly silence. The demonic energy continued to expand, but at a much slower pace than before.

The continuous use of the Destruction Demon Eyes had greatly depleted the Destruction Demon's resources. Now, he could only ensure that the magic array did not collapse, but could not make it function.

at this time.

The Boundless Monument had already carried Han Qing for tens of thousands of miles, landing among the mountains.

Inside the interior space.

Han Qing was in a strange state. He was not dead, but his eyes were closed and he could hardly feel any life force.

He clung to life with sheer willpower, entering a state akin to being a living dead.

At the same time, various colored lights shimmered all over his body, and magical treasures such as the Boundless Monument, the Nine Extreme Thunder Pool, the True Spirit of the Great Void, and the Primordial Ancient Seal were automatically activated to protect him and fight against the destructive power raging within his body.

Normally, being struck by the Destruction Eye would be fatal, but what the Destruction Demon did not expect was that Han Qing possessed so many powerful treasures, and coupled with his astonishing will to survive, the two intertwined to achieve a delicate balance.

The Boundless Monument took off again, flying rapidly towards the Shu region. After several hours, it landed in the central pavilion of the Yuelu Academy. Yan Qiuling noticed its unusual behavior immediately.

Where is Han Qing?

"My master is seriously injured and is currently inside my body," Elder Ming replied.

Yan Qiuling was startled and immediately entered the inner space. She then saw Han Qing with his eyes closed and his body filled with death energy.

"How could this happen?" Yan Qiuling's expression changed drastically.

Old Master Ming then recounted the events that had just transpired in the palace.

Upon hearing this, Yan Qiuling was overwhelmed with shock: "The Destruction Demon has been resurrected? The old ghost of the Mo family is dead? Han Yi has also been possessed?"

She was momentarily dazed. These two top experts in this world had ended their martial arts careers in a way that no one could have predicted.

"What should we do now?" Yan Qiuling understood that the world was about to change drastically again, but she had no time to think about it. She had only one thought: Han Qing couldn't die. As long as Han Qing lived, even the worst situation could be turned around. (End of Chapter)
