Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

"Right now, with your grandpa at the helm of the Divine Martial Dynasty, it might actually be possible to replicate the Taiyi Dynasty's path!"

Sword Lord Xiao thought of such a scene, and his heart was deeply shaken.

Judging by the current situation of the Divine Martial Dynasty, it is not impossible.

Then.

Sword Lord Xiao looked at the disciple before him.

"You have now entered the First Layer of the Dao Palace Realm, but the potential of the Unrivaled Sword Bone has not been fully tapped. Next, I will take you to other places; only through life-and-death battles can the true power of the Unrivaled Sword Bone be realized!"

"I rely entirely on Master for arrangements!"

Gu Shengnan nodded.

She also wanted to enhance her strength.

Although her cultivation in the First Layer of the Dao Palace Realm was decent, after realizing Gu Qingfeng's might, she had her own goal to pursue.

At that moment.

The firmament suddenly ruptured.

Terror and brutal aura wreaked havoc across the nine skies, stirring the wind and clouds, as if some horrific presence were about to descend from beyond the heavens.

The sudden change made all cultivators' expressions change dramatically.

"What's happening!"

"What in the world is going on!?"

The celestial phenomena gave these cultivators an ominous feeling.

The previously seated Sword Lord Xiao now also underwent a change in expression, his eyes sharp as sword edges, seemingly capable of piercing the nine layers of clouds to see the scene beyond the heavens.

"The aura of the Demon Clan... they have found the coordinates of the Ancient Desolate World from the chaotic starry sky and are launching an attack from beyond the heavens!"

Sword Lord Xiao thought of a certain possibility, and his face became grim.

He hadn't expected.

The Demon Clan, without a sound, had actually found the coordinates of the Ancient Desolate World from the chaos.

In these past years, the Demon Clan hadn't opened new boundary domain channels. Despite the fierce wars, the Human Clan had managed to maintain the situation.

In essence.

This was because the Human Clan had sent substantial forces to guard the boundary domain channels, curbing the momentum of the Demon Clan from the source.

If not.

Should the Demon Clan break through the defense of the boundary domain channels, the pressure the Human Clan would face would only increase.

Sword Lord Xiao never expected the Demon Clan to be making such preparations in secret.

"The Demon Clan invasion!"

Gu Shengnan's face also changed upon hearing these words.

Sword Lord Xiao's voice was heavy, "The Demon Clan is invading from beyond the heavens and no longer needs to rely on boundary domain channels. Consequently, this battle's severity is unlike any in the past!"

At that point.

Sword Lord Xiao took a deep breath and immediately stood up.

"Yet, this is also an opportunity. The Demon Clan's invasion will provide enough demons for you to train the Unrivaled Sword Bone!"

With those words.

Sword Lord Xiao promptly took Gu Shengnan away from there.

The demons coming from beyond the heavens, this battle was no longer confined to several boundary domain channels but a war truly affecting the entire Ancient Desolate World.

Simultaneously.

The Five Directions Great Domain of the Ancient Desolate World.

Numerous strong figures sensed the commotion.

All the veteran powerhouses had expressions as dark as water.

"The Demon Clan's invasion from beyond the heavens took advantage of an opportunity!"

"Damn it... how could the Demon Realm find the coordinates of the Ancient Desolate World among the boundless chaos!"

"The Demon Clan no longer relying on boundary domain channels to invade spells trouble for us—"

While the expressions of powerful figures were grim across many fronts, in a boundary domain channel in the Southern Domain.

The demons who had been invading continuously suddenly retreated like a tide, making the many human cultivators caught in the melee pause, unsure what was happening.

"The Demon Clan has retreated!?"

Feng Muqing's expression shifted slightly; as the Saint Ancestor of the Feng Family, he was one of the strong figures guarding this boundary domain channel. After he slew a Demon Semi-Saint, he noticed the Demon Clan began a mass retreat.

In just a moment, all demons withdrew from the battlefield.

This change.

Left Feng Muqing somewhat incredulous.

Not just Feng Muqing.

Other Saints and Great Saints were similarly shocked.

Yet at that moment, a terrifying abyssal strength burst forth from the boundary domain channel, causing a guarding Quasi-Emperor to change countenance dramatically.

"This is Great Emperor's power... the Demon Clan intends to destroy this boundary domain channel!!"

As the voice of this Human Clan Quasi-Emperor fell, the boundary domain channel, opened for years, suddenly collapsed, disappearing before their eyes.

Only the remaining power of the Great Emperor and the channel's destruction persisted, causing the space to become hopelessly chaotic.

And this.

Was but a microcosm of many boundary domain channels.

In other places in the Ancient Desolate World, numerous boundary domain channels were destroyed in an instant.

Gu Qingfeng, stationed at Kushan Immortal City, also received the news.

"The Demon Clan has invaded from beyond the heavens!"

"Various boundary domain channels have been destroyed—"

Shen Chang's expression shifted.

Clearly.

The boundary domain channels, this kind of double-edged sword, upon finding the coordinates of the Ancient Desolate World, the Demon Clan naturally wouldn't keep them intact.

Destroying the boundary domain channels prevents the Human Clan from counterattacking.

Then.

The Demon Clan can invade directly from beyond the heavens using the coordinates of the Ancient Desolate World.

If that were the case.

Even if the Human Clan wanted to counterattack, it would be difficult to find the Demon Realm amidst the boundless chaos.

"Supreme Emperor, now that many boundary domain channels have been destroyed, only the Kushan Domain is left without vanishing entirely, where the Demon Clan won't likely leave it alone..."

Jiang Nanfeng's expression was grave, already predicting what would happen next.

If the Demon Clan destroyed other boundary domain channels, why would they leave one Kushan Domain?

"I believe, preparations should commence soon—"

"No need to prepare, they have arrived!"

Gu Qingfeng's expression was calm, his words changing Jiang Nanfeng's demeanor.

But before Jiang Nanfeng could speak, Gu Qingfeng's silhouette had already appeared in the outer void.

"Everyone evacuate Kushan Immortal City, no errors allowed!"

As Gu Qingfeng disappeared, Jiang Nanfeng heard a voice.

Evacuate Kushan Immortal City!

Jiang Nanfeng dared not hesitate, immediately departed the hall, spreading the word, ordering all cultivators to evacuate Kushan Immortal City, and returned to the Ancient Desolate World.

Meanwhile.

In the void.

Gu Qingfeng introspected his attribute panel, and five years of seclusion had allowed his upgrade points to surpass fifty thousand, enough for another breakthrough.

In such circumstances, Gu Qingfeng certainly would not hesitate.

With a thought, fifty thousand upgrade points vanished, and his cultivation naturally advanced from the Quasi-Emperor Initial Stage to the Quasi-Emperor Middle Stage.

"Boom!"

With the cultivation breakthrough.

Gu Qingfeng's strength was enhanced once more.

The entire process happened almost instantaneously.

"Since you're here, why hide? Come out for battle, and let me witness the strength of the legendary Great Emperor of the Demon Clan!"

Gu Qingfeng spoke aloud; as he did, he swung a blade towards the void, a terrifying blade glow penetrating the cosmos, extinguishing three thousand Great Taos, as if plunging the entire Demon Realm back into chaos.

The next moment.

A majestic figure stepped through the void, the figure holding a Bronze Ancient Bell in its right hand, enduring the blade's force directly.

"Boom!!"

As the blade glow collided with the Bronze Ancient Bell, a heavy, desolate bell sound echoed through the heavens. Many cultivators' ears bled upon hearing this sound, their eardrums instantly shattered.

Some demons with lesser cultivation screamed not a single cry, their divine souls annihilated instantly.

"After millennia, another peerless powerhouse from the Human Clan has emerged!"

"You have yet to enter the Emperor Realm but possess strength that rivals it. If I were to devour you, I could return to my peak!"

The Demon Emperor holding the Bronze Ancient Bell looked at Gu Qingfeng, a fierce grin curling at the corners of his mouth, his red eyes revealing a bloodthirsty aura.

As the Demon Emperor, he could sense the vast life origin within Gu Qingfeng's body. Such a level of life origin was an irresistible temptation for an Ancient Great Emperor.

Devouring him.

Could restore him to his peak.
