Chapter 20: The Invincible Demon Venerable
The Supreme Monarch Lihuo’s array has finally broken at this moment!
The terrifying aura from the wall of fire vanished in an instant.
"The array is broken!”
"Quick, move forward!”
"Go!”
In no time, countless forces surged forward like a tidal wave.
The flying ships of Immortal Melody Pavilion and Dragon Profound Sect turned into streaks of light, incredibly fast.
And those standing at the forefront of the secret realm, like Fire Spirit and the others, swiftly flew their ship towards the fiery red coffin!
They quickly descended before the coffin.
"A Supreme’s coffin… This is a great opportunity!”Yu Qishui was completely excited!
"If we can obtain the secrets within, our Lihuo Sect will inevitably prosper!”
Wei Yushan was also very solemn!
Fire Spirit’s eyes still held the faint golden flames, but at this moment, she felt a strange sensation.
Having cultivated the Saint Fire Eyes, her observational and discerning abilities had greatly improved; however, the coffin gave her an ominous premonition.
"Let’s go, open the coffin!”
Yu Qishui spoke excitedly.
Fire Spirit nodded too, since they had come, they inevitably had to take a look.
Moreover, with the backup given by Senior Li, she was full of confidence.
"Stop right there!”
Just then, a stern rebuke suddenly rang out!
A streak of light approached quickly, and in the next moment, it had landed beside them.
Dragon Profound Sect!
"You shall not approach the Supreme coffin!”
An elder from Dragon Profound Sect spoke coldly.
This person was the one who had injured Yu Qishui back at Lihuo Sect.
"According to the unwritten rules, the first force to break through has the right of first choice…”
Yu Qishui spoke firmly,
“Are you going to break the rules…”
But before he could finish, the elder had already turned aggressive, the Hollow Void Realm’s cultivation level locking onto Yu Qishui with a cold murderous intent:
"Rules? Do you think you, a mere Soul Divide cultivator, have any right to talk about rules with me?”
"Either die or scram!”
A direct threat!
Yu Qishui and the others immediately had a drastic change in expression!
"Heh, a minor Moon-ranked force dares to covet the treasure of a Supreme force? Ridiculous.”
People from Immortal Melody Pavilion arrived, and Ling Xian sneered.
"Friends from Taiyan Holy Land?”
Long Ziying’s pretty face showed a trace of solemnity,
“Since you’ve intervened, we’ll only take one-fifth of the secret treasures here.”
Facing a Holy Land-ranked force, their Dragon Profound Sect was far from being a match; getting one fifth was already subject to their mercy!
Ling Xian glanced at Qing Luo.
Qing Luo nodded, saying,
“Agreed.”
"Alright, then it’s settled.”
Long Ziying nodded, and with the end of her words, her figure suddenly moved.
In an instant, she appeared in front of Fire Spirit.
Yu Qishui and Wei Yushan were already locked in place by the experts of Dragon Profound Sect and couldn’t move. Fire Spirit’s Saint Fire Eyes sensed Long Ziying’s movement, but due to the gap in their cultivation levels, she was too late to dodge!
Long Ziying’s hand clamped down directly on Fire Spirit’s throat!
"Sister Ling’er!”
Mu Qianning’s face changed drastically, her expression filled with urgency,
“Let go of Sister Ling’er right now!”
However, Long Ziying just sneered, looking at Fire Spirit,
“There’s something strange about you. I need to cripple your cultivation level first!”
With that, an icicle appeared in the palm of her hand!
"Soul Severing Nail!”
Someone exclaimed.
The Soul Severing Nail could lock down a cultivator’s Spiritual Power, gradually turning it into Mysterious Ice, ultimately leading to its exhaustion.
"You dare!”
Mu Qianning grew even more anxious, and in that moment, she threw caution to the wind,
“If you dare lay a finger on Sister Ling’er, Senior Li will surely make you pay!”
"Senior Li?”
Long Ziying sneered,
“What is Senior Li? Even a Supreme cannot save her today!”
Seeing this, Huo Mingxuan maliciously said,
“Correct, Dragon Virgin, just kill her. Our Royal Family of the Fire Nation will certainly not utter a single word of protest!”
The Soul Severing Nail in Long Ziying’s hand was about to pierce into Fire Spirit’s body!
Fire Spirit’s scroll concealed in her sleeve was almost ready to be unveiled!
But at that very moment—
"Boom—”
The Supreme coffin at the center burst open!
A figure clad in black Supreme burial attire stood up from within the coffin!
And just in that moment, the flames that permeated the surrounding secret realm suddenly changed color to black!
On the outermost boundary, the intricate patterns of the Supreme array reappeared, with the black flames turning into thousands of ghostly beasts, swirling in the sky and surrounding the thousands of cultivators who had entered the secret realm!
In an instant, everyone’s face changed!
"What’s happening?”
"No… is the Supreme being resurrected? Has Supreme Monarch Lihuo not perished?”
"Why does everything around feel so malevolent, as if it’s making my soul tremble…”
All were shocked.
"This is bad, has the Supreme turned into a demon?!”
An elder from Dragon Profound Sect cried out in horror!
At his words, there was a universal shock.
"A Supreme turning into a demon… that’s one of the great horrors!”
"Seeking immortality but becoming a demon instead, Supreme Monarch Lihuo has become the Lihuo Demon Venerable… second only to the Evil God in causing disaster… heavens, we are finished today!”
"This is no lucky place; this is simply a demon realm!”
For a moment, all the great Sects were in panic, beginning to flee.
Rushing about like dogs that lost their homes, scrambling like fish slipping through the net!
With a Supreme turned demon, even a living Supreme would avoid confrontation; failing to leave in time meant certain death.
"Ah—”
But just as everyone tried to escape, a flying ship was directly struck down by a vulture made of black fire and the entire ship was incinerated!
Countless people were attacked by creatures formed from the fire!
Against the demonized Supreme’s black fire, not a single person could withstand.
Everyone was panic-stricken!
Dragon Profound Sect, Immortal Melody Pavilion!
At this moment, the people from both sects feel like they are facing a formidable enemy, trembling with shock!
They dare not flee, cannot flee.
Because… the Lihuo Demon Venerable… had already locked onto them!
The Lihuo Demon Venerable had a towering figure and an extraordinary aura. One could still vaguely discern the majestic demeanor of a great cultivator who once dominated the world.
But now, he exudes a bubbly demon aura, engulfed in black qi, and his eyes are oil green!
"I… am the vanguard of the king!”
"My rebirth… shall bring about annihilation…”
Out of the Lihuo Demon Venerable’s mouth, ancient and awkward phrases spilled forth as he suddenly raised his hand!
"No!”
On the ships of Lihuo Sect and Immortal Melody Pavilion, the Hollow Void Realm experts all screamed loudly at this moment!
Bam Bam Bam Bam!
All Hollow Void experts exploded into a mist of blood in that instant!
Those remaining were stunned, completely dumbfounded!
They were Hollow Void experts, and in front of the Demon Venerable… just by raising a hand…
It’s too terrifying!
Long Ziying herself was shocked; she subconsciously let go of Fire Spirit, retreating backwards as she gazed at the terrifying Demon Venerable!
With the Demon Venerable present, who would contend?
"Demon Venerable, cease your presumptuous actions!”
Suddenly, from outside the secret realm, a loud scream penetrated the array!
Countless people turned their heads and saw three terrifying figures appearing in the air!
"The three elders, save me!”
Long Ziying shouted!
They were the three Mahayana powerhouses from Dragon Profound Sect!
They frantically employed numerous magical treasures, attempting to breach the array and rescue Long Ziying.
But the Demon Venerable merely waved his hand!
Countless black flames instantly transformed into a black Celestial Wolf, howling as it charged, reaching the Mahayana powerhouses in an instant!
The Celestial Wolf opened its maw and swallowed the three Mahayana cultivators whole!
The next moment, only charred skeletons fell from the sky.
Killing three Mahayana powerhouses in an instant.
Long Ziying, upon witnessing this scene, was dumbfounded, shocked.
Is this the strength of a Demon Venerable?
Everyone despaired!
"Do not panic, my friends, Taiyan Holy Land has long been prepared!”
Ling Xian stepped forward and crushed a jade talisman!
Outside the secret realm, a spatial teleportation array suddenly appeared!
Long-distance teleportation!
The black fire Celestial Wolf from the Demon Venerable halted, apparently waiting for the people in the teleportation array to emerge.
"Demon aura pervades all; it seems a real calamity has arisen…”
From within the teleportation array, an old man with white hair appeared.
His appearance caused a series of exclamations.
"This is an old Venerable from Taiyan Holy Land… a presence second only to the Supreme!”
"Indeed, Ancient Tuo Ya Zun!”
"Taiyan Holy Land dispatched a Venerable of this caliber, it seems they had long anticipated something would happen here?”
Everyone was overjoyed!
The arrival of such a powerhouse could possibly control the Demon Venerable!
Ancient Tuo Ya Zun appeared in the air, glanced over and snorted,
“So it is the Demon Venerable!”
"Today, I shall grant you complete death!”
He produced a sword in his hand!
It was an extremely ancient sword.
"Quasi-Immortal Sword, slay the Demon Venerable!”
With a thunderous shout from Ancient Tuo Ya Zun, the ancient sword unleashed powerful Sword Qi, cutting across the Sky Domain, a terrifying golden sword light shattering the black fire Celestial Wolf and slashing towards the array!
"The Quasi-Immortal Sword is invincible!”
"This is the last sword of the Immortal of Taiyan before he became immortal, symbolizing the limit of the Supreme Realm!”
"With even a hint of Immortal Qi, it is enough to slay the Demon Venerable!”
Voices chimed in from the crowd!
A scene full of anticipation unfolded!
Yet, the Demon Venerable still merely raised his hand!
Demonic fire filled the sky, morphing into a black fire dragon!
The sinister black fire dragon coiled in the sky, engulfing everything, virtually incinerating even the very air, and lunged forward ferociously!
The next moment!
The sky full of golden sword light caught ablaze!
Under the roaring black fire dragon, Ancient Tuo Ya Zun was devoured in one gulp!
"No——”
The dreadful scream of Ancient Tuo Ya Zun rang out!
Suddenly, nothing but an ebon ancient sword plummeted from Ancient Tuo Ya Zun’s disintegrated bones!
Yet the black demon dragon did not pause, heading straight for the still-open teleportation array!
It wanted to strike at Taiyan Holy Land!
At this moment, within the Taiyan Holy Land, far away beyond the span of a thousand li—
In an ancient temple, the teleportation array suddenly trembled!
An elder guardian of the teleportation array, his face turned pale, cried out,
“A mighty foe is about to break through the teleportation array, please, Supreme!”
In the depths of the Taiyan Holy Land, a terrifying figure suddenly opened his eyes, and the next moment, a towering figure appeared in the ancient temple.
"Hongxuan Supreme, an enemy approaches, please take action!”
The elder urgently spoke.
The towering figure took a deep breath and said,
"Impossible! Terrifying demonic aura surpassing the Supreme, an insurmountable foe… shut down the teleportation array! Otherwise, the Holy Land will face a great catastrophe!”
He personally took action!
…
Thousands of li away, through the teleportation array, the thousands of people in the secret realm heard the brief exchange!
Immediately after, the teleportation array swiftly disappeared!
The black demon dragon ultimately missed its mark!
Inside the secret realm, the thousands present… were all dumbstruck!
Silence fell, complete silence!
