The Demon King is back, leading adorable kids on an adventure around the world!

Luo Tian's eyes finally became serious, like the anticipation of a hunter seeing his prey use its final move.

"That sword strike was actually quite impressive."

He raised his right hand, his index finger pointing to the sky.

"Star-Slaying Heaven Finger!"

A gigantic golden finger descended from the sky, thicker than ever before, with distinct knuckles and clear fingerprints, radiating an overwhelming aura of power.

The golden finger met the azure dragon, and the two collided in mid-air with a loud bang.

The Azure Dragon shattered, turning into a sky full of azure light. Most of the golden finger was also worn away, with the remaining part landing on the head of True Person Tianxuan.

"boom!"

Tianxuan Zhenren was shoved directly into the seabed, creating a huge crater. Seawater poured in and submerged him.

The blue light flickered a few times beneath the sea surface before going out.

A moment later, Master Tianxuan emerged from the seawater, covered in blood and his Taoist robe tattered.

His white hair was disheveled like grass, and his ancient sword was broken in two, with only half of the hilt still in his hand.

His face was covered in blood, seawater, and indescribable humiliation.

"Are you convinced?"

Luo Tian's voice came from above, neither too loud nor too soft, and so calm that it didn't seem like he had just finished a fight.

Master Tianxuan looked up at him, his eyes filled with resentment, but even more so with fear.

That kind of instinctive trembling that only occurs when facing an existence far superior to oneself.

He knew that he was no match for this person no matter what.

He has lived for eight thousand years and fought countless battles, but he has never lost so thoroughly.

"I... give up."

He knelt on the sea, his knees sinking into the water, and lowered his head.

The seawater rippled around him.

Luo Tian walked up to him and pressed a finger between his eyebrows.

Golden runes flowed from his fingertips and entered his consciousness.

Master Tianxuan trembled. He felt something being etched into the depths of his soul, something that could not be erased or resisted.

His gaze gradually softened from resistance to docility, and finally he closed his eyes and stopped struggling.

"Owner……"

He called out softly, his voice sounding as if squeezed from the depths of his throat, carrying a bittersweet sense of relief.

Luo Tian stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the three immortal islands below.

Qingming Zhenren, Fangzheng Zhenren, and Tianxuan Zhenren knelt on the sea behind him.

The seawater reached above their knees, and their robes fluttered in the sea breeze.

"From this day forward, the three mountains will be merged and renamed the Battle God Sect. I, the Emperor, will be the sect leader."

"Yes, Master!" the three replied in unison.

Luo Tian released a trace of his Emperor Soul aura, which was suppressed to a very faint state by the Heavenly Dao.

But that supreme pressure made the three ancestors, who had lived for thousands of years, tremble like leaves.

He was almost entirely lying on the surface of the sea, not daring to even lift his head.

"That...that is..."

Tianxuan Zhenren's voice trembled, and his teeth chattered.

"The aura of an Emperor... it's a Celestial Emperor... a true Celestial Emperor..."

He had seen records about the Imperial Realm in his ancestral home on Penglai Immortal Island.

The emperor's majesty is as vast as the heavens and cannot be offended.

He didn't believe it then, thinking it was just a legend, but now he believes it.

"Your subordinate was blind and ignorant, offending the Immortal Emperor; you deserve to die!"

Master Tianxuan kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead hitting the sea surface, splashing water and turning his forehead red.

Qingming Zhenren and Fangzheng Zhenren kowtowed, trembling all over, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"Ignorance is no excuse," Luo Tian said calmly. "My cultivation has not yet fully recovered and is temporarily suppressed at the peak of the Integration stage."

Once I go to the cultivation world, I will gradually recover.

"The three of you shall continue to suppress your cultivation and accompany me to the cultivation world."

"Yes, Master!"

The three kowtowed repeatedly, their relief at surviving the ordeal mixed with lingering fear.

"Tianxuan, are you still in contact with the cultivation world?"

Master Tianxuan shook his head:

"Reporting to Master, the Three Mountains have lost contact with the cultivation world for thousands of years."

Our ancestors came to Earth from the world of cultivation and established the Three Mountains.

Later, the world changed drastically, the passage closed, and contact was lost forever.

Luo Tian frowned slightly.

He had hoped to learn about the current state of the cultivation world from the Three Mountains, but it seems that opportunity has been lost.

But it's okay, you'll find out when you get there.

"From this day forward, True Person Tianxuan will serve as the Grand Elder of the War God Sect, in charge of the affairs of the Three Mountains, with Qingming and Fangzheng assisting him."

"Yes, Master!"

Luo Tian turned around and looked northwest, which was the direction of the Battle Heaven Sect.

"I still have matters to attend to in the mortal world. I will bring my people here once I have finished them."

"Keep an eye on the three mountains and don't cause any trouble."

"Yes, Master!"

Luo Tian rose into the air, the Xuanyuan Sword was unsheathed, and transformed into a golden light, disappearing into the horizon.

The golden light faded and faded until it was swallowed up by the distant clouds.

Master Tianxuan knelt on the sea surface, not daring to get up for a long time.

He only slumped down after Luo Tian's aura had completely disappeared.

Gasping for breath, his Taoist robe was soaked with seawater.

"The Immortal Emperor...it's actually the Immortal Emperor..."

Qingming Zhenren and Fangzheng Zhenren were also paralyzed on the sea surface, their faces as pale as paper.

Master Fangzheng murmured:

"We actually dared to oppose the Celestial Emperor...we're really reckless..."

Master Tianxuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and his tone became calm:

"The fact that the Immortal Emperor did not kill us is already an act of immense mercy."

From this day forward, be loyal to your master and have no disloyalty.

"yes!"

The two responded, their voices filled with relief at having survived the ordeal.

The three exchanged glances, each seeing the same realization in the other's eyes.
