Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Ravines.

No, that can no longer be called a chasm.

Starting from where you stand or even further away, it stretches like a canyon, its length resembling a giant dragon, extending for at least ten thousand miles!

Its width is unknown, but it should be at least large enough to accommodate half a town, and its depth...

I can't see through it.

What lies at the bottom of the deep canyon is unknown to anyone, not even to Zhang Ruoxue's terrifying eyesight.

But what they didn't know was...

This is only a small part.

Because this terrifying rift valley spans the entire Extreme Heaven Domain!

A rift valley that divides this vast Extreme Heaven Domain in two!

To the left of this rift valley, a terrifying, magma-like aura surges ceaselessly across the ground!

To the right of this rift valley lies a domineering aura that governs all things and is the way of heaven, a completely new existence that does not belong to the path of literature and martial arts or the methods of talismans!

This rift valley is like the Milky Way in the sky...

One is in the sky, the other is on the ground.

Unlike the Milky Way, this rift valley separates the Celestial Realm.

It was at this moment that Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue realized—

They have already stepped in...

In the war between the Demon Dynasty and the Immortal Capital.

10. Lin Yuan's Determination

The war between the Immortal Capital and the Demon Dynasty.

If divided by region, the Immortal Capital now occupies almost the entire Kuntian Domain, while the Demon Dynasty is slowly eroding the last few forces in the Desolate Domain that dare to resist.

The two forces under the command of the two True Immortals now each control a large celestial domain.

And sandwiched right in the middle between the Kuntian Domain and the Huangtian Domain is the Jitian Domain.

In the past, there were countless Heavenly-level families in the Extreme Heaven Domain. The once-prosperous Jiang family was qualified to ascend to the position of Heavenly-level family only because it had a Saint in charge. However, more than 20 years later, the Saint is not that important to either the Demon Dynasty or the Immortal Capital.

The Demon Dynasty had four Demon Lords and sixteen Demon Lords (now only thirteen Demon Lords), each possessing a cultivation level of Saint or higher.

The three venerable immortals and eighteen holy immortals of the Immortal Capital, as the mainstay of the Immortal Capital, are no less powerful than the demons of the Demon Dynasty.

After all, the Demon Dynasty and the Immortal Capital were inspired by the True Immortals. All cultivators who submitted to these two forces experienced rapid advancements in their cultivation, and they acquired countless rare spiritual treasures that they had never dared to dream of before.

As a result, those former Heavenly-level families either submitted to these two major powers or were already submerged in an incomparably terrifying wave of resistance.

Indeed, before this, Heavenly-level families were the pinnacle of power in the Extreme Heaven Domain, and were not to be trifled with.

But that was before the Immortal Capital and the Demon Dynasty. In front of these two great men, the Heavenly-level families were like water plants in a rushing waterfall, completely vulnerable.

As a result, in less than ten years, the entire Extreme Heaven Domain was divided between the Immortal Capital and the Demon Dynasty.

The ravine that Ye Yuchan and the others saw, which spanned the entire Extreme Heaven Domain, was precisely the location where the two major forces were currently engaged in battle.

【The Great Sky】

That's what people call this terrifying canyon abyss.

The reason for the formation of this Celestial Glory is truly enough to make most cultivators in the world tremble with fear.

That was definitely not a natural disaster caused by an anomaly in the heavens and earth; if it were, people would be able to understand it.

But that was a man-made disaster.

Ten years ago, the war in the Extreme Heaven Domain could not be quelled for a long time, so the Demon Emperor, the ruler of the Demon Dynasty, and the Emperor Immortal, the ruler of the Immortal Capital, agreed to a decisive battle in the Extreme Heaven Domain.

And this soaring swan is the trace left by the two of them.

Yes.

A battle scar that stretches across the entire heavens!

Furthermore, the Demon Emperor and the Immortal Emperor did not fight each other for several days and nights!

This terrifying chasm, insurmountable for mortals, was not created by a prolonged struggle between the two.

Just one palm strike.

On that day, the Demon Emperor and the Immortal Emperor faced each other in mid-air. Neither of them said a word, but they simply leaned close to each other and struck out with their palms.

When the palms meet, the sun and moon lose their light, the earth shakes and mountains tremble, and the heavens fall.

After a period of pure silence, this terrifying, soaring swan appeared in the sky.

But after this exchange, no one knows who will win or lose.

All people know is that after that, the battles between the Extreme Heaven Domains became more frequent and intense. The two True Immortals, Emperor Immortal and Demon Emperor, never mentioned the duel again, and they remained silent about the outcome of that day.

But most people can see it too.

That palm strike was likely a draw.

It was precisely because that palm strike did not bring the battle between immortals and demons to an end that the long period of war in the Extreme Heaven Domain over the past few years has occurred.

Many people died in this battle between immortals and demons.

Too many to list.

Unfortunately—

Yuntian Academy was also drawn into the matter.

……

……

"Why……"

When Lu Yingqiu knelt beneath those two lifeless, burned mountains.

When Ning Xuchen, who had just been pulled back from the brink of death by Yunping, was completely exhausted and fainted again.

When Zhang Ruoxue clenched her fists in anger.

When Ye Yuchan and Gu Xingzhuo were too grief-stricken to speak.

All that echoed in everyone's ears was a damned silence.

Yuntian Academy is gone.

The collapsed ruins, the beams and pillars burned to ashes by the flames, the young boy and girl who had long since lost their lives and whose bodies were so badly damaged that they were unrecognizable...

This small Cloud Heaven Academy presented a scene of devastation identical to that of the entire Extreme Heaven Domain.

They were ultimately too late.

I missed it.

When the Demon Emperor's decree to kill spread throughout the three great heavens, Ye Yuchan and the others had already anticipated this outcome.

Even though they had prepared themselves mentally, when they actually stood in front of the ruins of Yuntian Academy, their restless hearts could not be calmed, and they could not take it all in stride.

Ye Yuchan turned slightly to the side and looked at the white-robed youth not far away.

She wanted to see what kind of expression the dean of Yuntian Academy would have.

But after just one glance, she froze on the spot.

His jet-black hair remained still in the wind, and his face, which should have been carefree and playful, was now covered with a layer of icy frost. Ye Yuchan had never been able to imagine Yun Ping looking so serious before... Even though she had seen him before, she still found it hard to believe that the Yun Ping of that time was the same person as the old rogue she knew.

But now, she saw it again.

Yunping's face, devoid of both joy and sorrow, was etched with the word "calm."

It was so calm that it made one tremble.

Ye Yuchan had seen this kind of old rogue before.

Yunping had this expression when they were at the Emperor's Pavilion.

She remembered very clearly that Yunping was defying fate at that time.

Ye Yuchan could tell that Yun Ping at this moment—

I'm in a bad mood.

Even so.

He still didn't explode.

Instead, he slowly walked forward and stood behind Lu Yingqiu, who was kneeling on the ground, weeping uncontrollably.

That warm hand gently rested on Lu Yingqiu's trembling little head.

When the hand touched her, Lu Yingqiu was startled, and her sobbing stopped slightly.

"At least, Xiao Jiang and Yuan'er are not dead yet."

His tone was icy, yet it carried a reassuring warmth.

That was the warmth he had to show as a teacher, as the dean of Yuntian Academy, and as Lu Yingqiu's grandmaster.

He offered words of comfort: "At least they are still alive. One is nearby, and the other has gone to a mysterious place, but they are both safe."

"But...but..."

Lu Yingqiu kept wiping away her tears, but the more she wiped, the more the tears kept falling.

She collapsed to the ground, her body convulsing, tears streaming down her face.

At this moment, she finally appeared to resemble that person in appearance.

Instead of the composure and maturity she had previously feigned to conceal her inner vulnerability.

Ultimately, she was just an immature child.

No one could truly understand her pain... She had only gone to the Desolate Heaven Domain, but when she returned, all the senior and junior brothers she knew had perished.
