Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 365 Gathering, Resurrecting the Devouring Lord

Xiao Li nodded slightly. The Lord of Space was in the Demon Realm, a being who once wielded the Ancestral Symbol of Space. If he wasn't the first to arrive, his legs could be broken.

"Hehe, Emperor Ming, thank you for your help. I didn't expect those demon bastards to have infiltrated the Demon Realm. If it weren't for your help, the powerful beings of the Demon Realm would probably have been wiped out in one fell swoop."

The Lord of Space has a rather unconventional personality, and perhaps all fast-moving people are unconventional. Anyway, Xiao Li doesn't dislike him; he finds this kind of lively character quite nice.

"Just doing it as a matter of convenience."

The Lord of Space, his smile fading, asked, "May I ask what you wish to do with me here?"

"No rush, let's wait until your fellow disciples arrive before we talk," Xiao Li said with a faint smile.

"Oh? They're coming too? No! They've all successfully reincarnated? Did Junior Sister succeed in reincarnation? Oh, Junior Sister is the Ice Master, she looks like an iceberg."

Xiao Li looked at the Lord of Space: "I have found all of you ancient eight lords except for the Devouring Lord who has already fallen. We will talk again when you are all here."

The Lord of Space finally calmed down; at least they were all alive, and there was no better news than that!

Before long, another black streak of light appeared. It was a woman dressed in slender black armor, with long hair cascading down her back. Her face was quite exquisite, and her eyes were pure black. The darkness was not evil, but rather exceptionally profound.

One of the eight ancient lords, the Lord of Darkness.

"Emperor Ming! What do you want with me?" After the Lord of Darkness arrived, he saw that the Lord of Space was also there. He wondered what this powerful figure, who was on the same level as his teacher, was thinking.

"Wait here, a few more are coming!" Xiao Li said nothing more and continued to wait.

The Lord of Darkness wanted to say something, but remembering his previous conflict with Emperor Ming, during which he was easily defeated, he decided not to say anything more.

However, the Lord of Darkness was in a good mood. It was nice to see his junior brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The Lord of Darkness then chatted with the Lord of Space. The two were surprised to find that this Emperor Ming had done a lot and was undoubtedly the key to helping the Tianxuan Continent, just like their teacher!

Swish swish—

After a while, three streaks of light came, one red, one silver, and one purple-gold.

The owner of the red light was a red-haired man dressed in a golden robe, exuding an air of nobility. His eyes were deep and gentle, and his face was young and handsome, yet dignified.

The Eight Ancient Lords, the Lord of Flame.

The owner of the silver light was a robust, middle-aged man with short silver hair and a rugged appearance. Beneath his thick eyebrows were a pair of lightning-like eyes, filled with coldness and rage. His arms were bare, with a lightning totem on them.

The Eight Ancient Lords, the Lord of Thunder.

The owner of the purplish-gold light was a towering figure, about two zhang tall, with skin shimmering with a purplish-gold light, emanating an indescribable sense of power.

The Eight Ancient Lords, Lords of the Primordial World!

"Emperor Ming!"

The three ancient masters who were traveling with him bowed to Xiao Li at the same time, after all, Xiao Li had been of great help to them.

Xiao Li helped them recover from their injuries and also dealt with the demons in the Demon Suppression Prison, for which he had done them a great favor.

"Alright, everyone's here. Right now, only five of the eight ancient masters can be mobilized. By the way, what's the ranking order of the eight of you?" Xiao Li asked.

The five ancient masters looked at each other, and while they were happy to see some of their fellow disciples, they felt uncertain when they thought of their eldest sister, the Lord of Life and Death, and their junior sister, the Ice Lord.

The Lord of Darkness spoke, "Among us, the Eight Ancient Lords, our eldest sister, the Lord of Life and Death, is the greatest. Next is our senior brother, the Lord of Devouring. After him is me, the Lord of Darkness. After that are the Lord of Primordial Chaos, the Lord of Space, the Lord of Thunder, the Lord of Flame, and the Lord of Ice."

Xiao Li nodded: "So you're the third oldest? No wonder you were so temperamental when we first met. Well then, I guess I'll have to take care of all four of them on this trip."

The Dark Lord blushed. Back then, when she suppressed the Demon Suppression Prison, she regarded all outsiders as enemies. When she encountered Xiao Li, she naturally attacked him, but the result was terrible. She was killed in one move and could not even stand up. Afterwards, Xiao Li wiped out the demons in the Demon Suppression Prison and helped her recover from her injuries.

Xiao Li glanced at the five ancient masters. These five were indeed quite strong. In the Dou Qi Continent, they would definitely be at the peak of Dou Sheng. Each of them was proficient in the ultimate of a certain field, and none of them were simple figures.

"I've summoned you all here to tell you some good news first. The Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Ice have already reincarnated, and I've found their reincarnated bodies," Xiao Li said with a faint smile.

"Very good!"

"good!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The eight ancient masters were all in high spirits; this news was undoubtedly the best news they had heard in recent years.

"But! You are not allowed to interfere in their current lives. Let them awaken on their own!" Xiao Li changed the subject.

"Why!"

The eight ancient masters were puzzled. Junior Sister was the hope of the Tianxuan Continent, and they were determined to awaken her.

"Hmph! With me here, what use is it even if the Ice Lord returns? In my eyes, she's nothing more than a pretty face. Can she deal with the Demon Emperor?" Xiao Li said coldly.

"What did you say!" The Flame Lord immediately flew into a rage, his body engulfed in flames, demanding an explanation from the Emperor Ming!

Xiao Li snorted and a ball of black flame enveloped the Flame Lord, completely suppressing the flames on his body!

"Junior brother!"

The Thunder Lord couldn't sit still and rushed forward! Suddenly, a bolt of golden lightning struck the Thunder Lord, rendering him unable to move.

The other three ancient masters were about to do something when they were stopped and unable to move by Xiao Li's enormous soul force.

"The five of you couldn't even withstand a single move from me. Could the Ice Master do that? Putting pressure on her is unbelievable, considering you're supposed to be her senior brothers and sisters. Let me tell you, even your teacher, the Talisman Ancestor, is no match for me!"

However, I have great respect for your teacher, the Ancestor of Fu, who was willing to sacrifice his life for this world. But that is not a license for you to be presumptuous before me!

Xiao Li then withdrew his attack. These eight ancient masters were all proud and arrogant people. If they weren't taught a lesson, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause.

Only after surviving the calamity did the five ancient Eight Lords truly realize the power of this Ming Emperor.

"Alright, I've gathered you all here. The first thing we need to do is find the remnant soul of the Devourer. You should know that the Devourer left behind a legacy, right? Find it, and I will resurrect him," Xiao Li said slowly.

"resurrection?!"

The five ancient masters were shocked! The Devourer was the second strongest among their eight brothers and sisters, second only to the Ice Master!

In the great war of ancient times, the Devourer Lord burned his own reincarnation to fight against the Ten Kings' Palaces in order to protect the other seven Ancient Eight Lords. In the end, he perished, becoming the only one of the Ancient Eight Lords to fall.

The Devourer was their senior brother, and his death caused them great distress. Now, this Emperor Ming wants to resurrect the Devourer!

The Lord of Darkness's voice trembled slightly: "Emperor Ming, is it truly possible?"

Xiao Li nodded: "I am 90% confident that he can be resurrected as long as he retains a remnant soul, but I will need your help."

.

They were 90% certain—they couldn't even imagine it—which meant there was a very high probability that the Devourer Lord would be resurrected!

The Lord of Space excitedly said, "I know where the Devouring Temple is. I'll take you there."

. . . . . .

The group moved to the Devouring Temple, the place where the Devouring Lord left his legacy and where he passed away. The Lord of Space could easily enter it.

The five ancient Eight Lords sensed the familiar aura within the Devouring God Temple, recalling the scene of their senior brother burning his cycle of reincarnation for them...

"Sigh~ So many years have passed, I never expected it would be you who came looking for me? And this unfamiliar powerful figure, you must be from outside the Tianxuan Continent."

A faint voice drifted over, and the darkness dissipated, revealing a throne at its end. A figure in black sat upon the throne, his face handsome, a smile playing on his lips. This smile seemed to possess a kind of magic, causing people to lose their focus. This man was like a deep black hole, irresistibly drawing people in.

"Devouring Senior Brother!"

"Senior brother!"

The eight ancient masters were shocked to see the remnant soul of the Devourer, their most respected senior brother was now only a remnant soul.

"Hehe, I'm relieved to see you all safe and sound. Where are Senior Sister and Junior Sister? Is something wrong?" The Devouring Lord noticed that everyone seemed a little worried about Senior Sister and Junior Sister.

The Lord of Darkness spoke, "The eldest sister and the youngest sister have both safely reincarnated. Their reincarnated bodies have now appeared. This Emperor Ming has found them, but he forbids us from making contact with them."

"Oh? Emperor Ming? Although you have cultivated Yuan Power, I can still sense that you possess an extremely powerful force, probably on the same level as my teacher. I, the Devourer, greet Emperor Ming."

The Lord of Devouring knew at a glance that this Emperor Ming was incredibly strong! Absurdly strong.

"As expected of the strongest being to appear in this world, you do have some insight. Enough with the small talk, I'm here to resurrect you. After you're resurrected, you'll have to do some things for me." Xiao Li said calmly to the Devouring Lord.

This Devouring Lord is quite interesting. The other five Ancient Eight Lords are roughly equal in strength, but this Devouring Lord, although only a remnant soul, is clearly stronger than the other five.

Despite being at the same level of the Triple Reincarnation Realm, he is significantly stronger than them, truly deserving of being the strongest person in the Tianxuan Continent besides Lin Dong.

"Resurrection?" The Devourer hadn't expected that he would be resurrected, but his reincarnation had been burned away, leaving only a remnant soul. How could he be resurrected?

Suddenly, an ancient stone door appeared in Xiao Li's hand. The stone door opened wide and sucked in the remnant soul of the Devouring Lord. The Devouring Lord couldn't even resist.

Xiao Li then set up a five-pointed star formation, with himself at the center.

"Alright, all five of you, take your places in a corner and then transfer your life-and-death power!" Xiao Li said.

The five ancient masters immediately filled the pentagram and then began to transfer the power of life and death.

Xiao Li infused the life and death power of the five ancient masters, along with his own, into the Gate of Life and Death.

Seven days later, Xiao Li removed the formation and opened the Gate of Life and Death. A figure in black robes walked out, carrying a powerful aura.

"It actually revived..." The Devourer couldn't believe it. He hadn't felt this heartbeat and the fullness of flesh and blood in a long time.

Xiao Li looked at the Devouring Lord and nodded: "It seems to be working. I have successfully crafted this treasure."

The Devourer Lord solemnly bowed to Xiao Li: "Thank you for Emperor Ming's grace in restoring our lives."
