Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

"Break!"

With his yell, millions of demon beasts' roars reverberated from the Ten Thousand Demon Banner, transforming into an unstoppable black ripple, shaking the void, directly attacking Jiushan Realm!

This time, even Luo Shangxian from Haori Mountain changed his complexion, retreating while a Treasure Bead flew out from above his head, enveloping the people of the Five Sects behind him.

In Jiushan Realm, the Sun and Moon Clock buzzed twice, its invincible clock body showing cracks with just a breath!

The sound of the Sun and Moon Clock became much quieter, as if it were wailing.

The previously intact world barrier, like the Sun and Moon Clock, now also had a huge crack!

Jiushan Realm, broken!

Great Freedom Demon Emperor seized the opportunity perfectly, earlier Zhang had used Qingjing Bamboo to wake Zheng Fa, momentarily depleting Spiritual Power and Divine Soul, unable to fend off the Ten Thousand Demon Banner.

Or to say, perhaps that was the purpose of that glance!

The Ten Thousand Demon Banner pierced through the crack into Jiushan Realm, heading towards Zheng Fa and his companions from the Heavenly Palace Nine Islands.

On the banner, those demon totems appeared extremely fierce in Zheng Fa's eyes!

Within Zheng Fa, the Fusang Wood seemed to ignite in anger, the tree shaking, projecting the shadow of Fusang Wood behind Zheng Fa, growing from Jiushan Realm, standing before the people of Xuanwei Realm like a towering pillar.

Its bizarre form had no branches or leaves, yet it felt like the beginning of all beings, carrying the aura of primordial wisdom, captivating one's heart.

The demon totems on the Ten Thousand Demon Banner dared not act rashly, bowing their heads as if worshipping this splendid, bright, ancient Divine Wood.

The Ten Thousand Demon Banner, which had covered half the sky, rapidly shrank, transforming to the height of two men, as if submitting beneath the Fusang Wood!

Zhang wielded the Qingjing Bamboo, its golden light spreading over the scars of Jiushan Realm, seizing the chance to seal the crack.

Missing a strike, instead of being angry, Great Freedom Demon Emperor rejoiced and finally spoke:

"Demon Emperor Dao Fruit!"

His tone was full of anticipation, determination, and recklessness.

"Fusang Wood!"

Another person's voice, even more delighted than he!

Luo Shangxian from Haori Mountain, gazing at the Fusang Wood still standing between heaven and earth, his originally stiff face became animated, his aura surging repeatedly, the Treasure Bead above his head burst into brilliance, illuminating the azure sky.

Clearly, he intended to act!

Behind him, Mingde Master's heart sank heavily.

By now, everything was clear...

The reason why Zheng Fa sought Haori Tree.

Why Great Freedom Demon Emperor was intent on a life-and-death struggle with Zheng Fa.

And what Luo Shangxian from Haori Mountain was thinking now!

Who could have imagined that Zheng Fa truly managed to cultivate Fusang Wood?

Outstanding!

The problem was, it was too outstanding...

He looked at Luo Shangxian's back, for earlier, even when he pleaded, Luo Shangxian refused to act.

Yet now this person was ready to strike.

But he would rather this person not act... Because now, what Luo Shangxian first wants to deal with, probably isn't Great Freedom Demon Emperor!

At this moment, Zheng Fa had no time to care what Haori Mountain's Dao Fruit was thinking!

Perhaps wary of that Luo Shangxian, Great Freedom Demon Emperor held nothing back.

His silver robe turned into a night curtain, overshadowing the sunlight, the Jade Seal beside him transformed into a full moon.

Under the full moon, the tides surged more fiercely.

Under his command, the demon race members knelt one by one, murmuring softly:

"Demon Emperor descends to the world, reigning over the Nine Heavens.

Heavenly Palace towers high, overlooking worldly noise.

All races bow low, who dares defy arrogance?

Seas submit, mountains bend.

Heaven and earth stand as one, eternal flourishing splendor."

Both Zheng Fa and Luo Shangxian, and everyone else, seemed to enter a vivid and grandiose world.

The Thirty-three Palaces stood above the Nine Heavens, with Great Freedom Demon Emperor seated in the grand hall, his gaze regarding them like pigs, dogs, grass, and trees, full of disdain.

Below the Heavenly Palace, it was a scene of demons cheering, spirits worshipping, and humans bowing.

Just as the chanting voice said, demon race ruled heaven and earth.

Not to mention Zheng Fa, even Luo Shangxian's previously high-spirited aura was suppressed inch by inch by this lofty Heavenly Emperor illusion.

Mingde Master felt like thousands of mountains were pressing on him, his Yang God within trembling, fracturing, seemingly only able to ease by kneeling.

At the forefront, Zheng Fa bore pressure perhaps tenfold, a hundredfold more than theirs, with the Fusang Wood holding up the sky, inch by inch, bending its branches.

The sturdy Divine Wood, beneath this majestic Heavenly Palace, seemed like an inconspicuous blade of grass, shivering and swaying.

"Luo Shangxian!"

"So ruthless..."

Ruthless?

Mingde Master strained to lift his eyes and noticed the clue:

Those demons chanting on the sea, one after another, turned into golden flying ash.

Flying ash ascended to the sky, seemingly forming the throne beneath Great Freedom Demon Emperor's backside, making his aura even stronger.

Even if it wasn't Dao Fruit, Mingde Master vaguely understood:

"All beings serve me... This Great Freedom Demon Emperor..."

Mingde Master paused, seemingly unsure how to speak, after a while sighed:

"He actually seeks to kill Zheng Fa at all costs, even... at any price!"

He suddenly remembered earlier when Great Freedom Demon Emperor first attacked Jiushan Realm, he only tested a little, fled after a single failed strike, showing caution.

But now he completely lacked any caution, as if crazed, disregarding the lives of his demon subordinates, only aiming... to take down Zheng Fa!

This change shows his determination and desire for Fusang Wood.

Luo Shangxian, being Dao Fruit as well, clearly lacked such ruthlessness, abundant in self-preservation, but finding it difficult to act.
