Thirty warships floated silently upon the water.
The top experts from various sects gazed directly at the towering, sky-piercing figure, momentarily unsure of how to proceed.
Such a ferocious creature, they had never encountered before.
An ancient great demon, the overlord of antiquity.
“Emperor of Demons, this is no longer the ancient era; you should not have awakened,” said the Holy Sect’s Sect Leader, staring intently at the ancient demon.
“Hahahaha! A bunch of ants, controlled by heaven itself, dare to lecture this emperor? This emperor will defy the heavens, wage wars across countless eons, and today, I shall shine once more.” The ancient demon’s voice boomed like thunder, causing everyone’s ears to ring. How could they possibly fight against this?
“Everyone, today, I beg you all to set aside past grievances and unite against the Demon Emperor, or else the entire Dongling Continent will be reduced to ruin, and none shall survive,” the Sect Leader Yan urged.
And this was no exaggeration; the ancient demon fed on souls and blood, and no one could escape its grasp.
“Alright… everyone, attack!”
At that moment, the thirty warships suddenly erupted with a brilliant light.
In an instant, beams of light shot forth from each warship, draining the vessels of all their power.
Since they were already prepared to die, the warships were naturally rendered useless.
“Ants…” The ancient demon sneered as it looked upon the incoming beams of light, then raised its palm and easily blocked them all.
Not even a scratch appeared on the demon’s hand.
This was the gap in power.
Even if the ancient demon’s strength was not at its peak, it was still far beyond what any current Grand Heaven Master could withstand.
…
“Die, all of you…” The ancient demon roared, growing irritated by the swarm of weaklings.
A single palm descended from the sky. A disciple from a certain sect’s face changed drastically as chains of laws burst from his body, attempting to resist.
Yet beneath that absolute palm strike, the disciple was instantly crushed to dust.
Witnessing this, the disciples from the various sects felt their hearts tremble, igniting their fighting spirit and urging them to coordinate more carefully.
Otherwise, they would be picked off one by one.
…
“How did you all come here?” At that moment, Elder Wuya saw those disciples.
“Senior, we refuse to sit idle and wait for death,” Meng Hao said.
“That’s right,” Jian Wu Di, Lu Yan, Zong Hentian, and others replied.
Though their strength had not yet reached the Grand Heaven Master level, they would not simply wait for death.
Elder Wuya looked at them for a long moment before finally nodding, then followed behind the Sect Leader. “Be careful, each of you.”
At that moment, thunder crackled across the void, chains of laws filled the sky, and the true essence of heaven and earth became wildly chaotic.
The disciples of the various sects unleashed their ultimate techniques without holding back.
“Sacrifice!”
“The Descent of the Kunpeng!”
In an instant, a heavy, suffocating pressure spread throughout the void.
Thirty warships floated silently in the air.
The top experts from various sects stared at the towering figure, momentarily at a loss for how to proceed.
Such a monstrous creature was something they had never encountered before.
An ancient demon, a ruler from the primordial era.
“Demon Emperor, this is no longer the ancient times. You should not have awakened,” the sect leader of the Holy Sect said, gazing intently at the ancient demon.
“Hahaha, a bunch of ants, controlled by the heavens, dare to dictate to me? I defy the heavens, I have fought through the ages, and today I shall reclaim my glory,” the ancient demon’s voice boomed like a bell, shaking everyone to their core. How could they possibly fight this?
“Everyone, today we must set aside all past grievances and unite against the Demon Emperor. Otherwise, the Eastern Spirit Continent will be devastated, and no one will survive,” Sect Leader Yan declared.
And this was no exaggeration. The ancient demon devoured souls and life essence; no one could escape its grasp.
“Alright… let’s go…”
At that moment, the thirty warships suddenly erupted with a dazzling light.
In an instant, beams of light shot out from the warships, a desperate move that consumed all their energy.
Since they were already fighting for their lives, the warships were of no further use.
“Insects…” The ancient demon sneered at the incoming beams of light, raising a hand to block them effortlessly.
Not even a scratch appeared on the demon’s palm.
This was the difference in power.
Even if the ancient demon was not at its peak, it was still far beyond what the current great powers could handle.
…
“All of you, die!” The ancient demon roared, its irritation growing at the sight of so many ants.
A massive hand descended from the sky, and one sect member’s face turned pale as chains of rules burst from his body in a desperate attempt to defend himself.
But under the absolute force of that hand, the disciple was instantly crushed to dust.
Seeing this, the members of the various sects felt a surge of determination, their coordination becoming even more crucial.
Otherwise, they would be picked off one by one.
…
“Why have you come?” At that moment, Elder Wuyu noticed the disciples.
“Elder, we don’t want to just wait for death,” Meng Hao said.
“Exactly,” Jian Wudi, Lu Yan, Zong Hentian, and others spoke up.
Though they hadn’t reached the level of great powers, they were determined not to die without a fight.
Elder Wuyu looked at them and finally nodded, following behind the sect leader. “Be careful, all of you.”
At that moment, thunder flashed in the void, chains of rules densely filled the sky, and the true essence of heaven and earth became utterly chaotic.
The members of the various sects also brought out their most powerful techniques, holding nothing back.
“Sacrifice.”
“The method of summoning the Kunpeng.”
In an instant, a heavy aura permeated the void.
A rift in space suddenly appeared, and within it, something terrifying seemed to be descending.
“Everyone, I will sacrifice the Kunpeng to distract the Demon Emperor. Seize the opportunity.”
“Good, the Kunpeng Sect’s sacrifice is noble.”
“As long as we survive, the treasures sacrificed by the Kunpeng Sect will be shared among our sects.”
…
The members of the various sects were deeply moved by the Kunpeng Sect leader’s sacrifice of such valuable treasures.
“Hahaha, good… then I thank you all.”
…
Though conflicts often arose between the major sects, they were usually minor skirmishes.
In the face of such a crisis, they naturally united as one.
In an instant, the spatial rift grew larger, and a Kunpeng slowly emerged from it.
“Hmph, a mere Kunpeng dares to oppose me? In ancient times, I wiped out your entire clan. Have you forgotten?” The ancient demon roared, raising a hand to block the Kunpeng’s attack.
The summoned Kunpeng, initially unaware of who had called it, suddenly sensed the ancient demon’s presence.
Upon seeing the ancient demon, the Kunpeng let out a furious roar, as if driven to madness.
“Demon Emperor…”
At that moment, the Kunpeng spoke in human language, shocking the members of the Kunpeng Sect.
They had a deep connection with the Kunpeng but had never known it could speak.
The Kunpeng transformed into a Peng, its wings flapping as it darted out from the void, then turned into a Kun, its massive mouth opening to release a torrent of celestial water.
The celestial water was crystal clear, with a misty aura, each drop as heavy as a world.
The members of the various sects unleashed their chains of rules, piercing through layers of space to strike the ancient demon’s body.
But the ancient demon ignored these attacks, allowing the ants to strike at will.
Instead, it focused on blocking the celestial water.
“Kunpeng, how dare you act so recklessly before me? Unfortunately, you haven’t cultivated enough,” the ancient demon roared, its massive hand erupting with endless demonic energy, dispersing the celestial water with a single strike.
A fully cultivated Kunpeng could produce celestial water as heavy as a world.
But to summon such a Kunpeng, the Kunpeng Sect’s current resources were insufficient.
Even a hundred, a thousand times over, it wouldn’t be enough.
The ancient demon grabbed the Kunpeng, which instantly transformed into a Peng, with yin and yang energy swirling around it.
“Hmph, I’ve already said, your strength is not enough. No need to struggle,” the ancient demon said, gripping the Kunpeng’s wings and tearing them apart with brute force.
A scream echoed through the heavens as the ancient demon, with its absolute savage power, brutally broke the Kunpeng’s majestic wings.
“The Buddha’s Realm descends.”
In an instant, the void was filled with golden light.
Om, Ma, Ni, Pad, Me, Hum.
The chants of Buddhist mantras resonated like a great bell, echoing through the heavens.
Golden light illuminated the world.
In the void, the realm of the Buddha appeared.
Lu Yan, not holding back, wrapped his hand around the Buddhist beads on his chest, pouring his true essence into them. This was the most powerful technique he could currently unleash.
“Ancient bald monks, you still have successors? Hahaha… this is hilarious,” the ancient demon laughed maniacally upon seeing the Buddha’s realm in the void.
“Domain of the Martial God.”
Meng Hao roared, his true essence surging as a majestic figure appeared in the void.
The figure was awe-inspiring, clad in golden armor, a long blade that could shatter the void.
“Sword Domain.”
Jian Wudi, like a peerless sword god, had black and white swords swirling around him. Above his head, a dark vortex in the void expanded continuously.
“Whoosh…”
Countless ancient sword phantoms, filled with unparalleled ferocity, shot through the air, embedding themselves throughout the heavens.
“Immortal and Indestructible.”
Mie Qiongqi’s eyes blazed with endless fighting spirit. The only two chains of rules he had left wrapped around him, and a mysterious power descended from the void, empowering him.
This was the will of immortality, the will to fight against the heavens.
…
Not only were Mie Qiongqi and the others unleashing their final powers, but the members of the various sects were also bringing out their most potent techniques.
“Hahaha… you’re all still alive. Unfortunately, you’ve appeared too early. I have fought through the ages, and I fear nothing,” the ancient demon roared, looking at Mie Qiongqi and the others.
All of this… none of it had disappeared.
In an instant, several powerful forces collided with the ancient demon.
These were the strongest powers that Mie Qiongqi and the others could currently muster.
“Everyone, I will sacrifice the Kunpeng to distract the Demon Emperor. Seize this opportunity!”
“Very well, the Kunpeng Sect shows great righteousness.”
“As long as we survive, we shall share the cost of this sacrifice.”
…
Upon witnessing the Kunpeng Sect Leader’s offering of countless treasures, the hearts of the other sects were deeply shaken.
“Haha, excellent… then thank you all very much.”
…
Though the major sects often had disputes, these were mostly minor conflicts.
Yet in the face of such a crisis, they naturally united as one.
In an instant, the rift in the void expanded rapidly, and a Kunpeng slowly emerged from within.
“Hmph, a mere Kunpeng dares to oppose this emperor? Back in ancient times, I exterminated your entire race. Have you forgotten?” The ancient demon roared, raising its palm to strike, covering the sky as it reached toward the Kunpeng in the void.
The summoned Kunpeng had no idea who had called it forth.
But in that instant, it sensed a familiar aura—an ancient demonic presence. Upon seeing the ancient demon, the Kunpeng roared furiously, as if driven into a frenzy.
“Emperor of Demons…”
At that moment, the Kunpeng spoke human words, causing the disciples of the Kunpeng Sect to change expressions.
They had a deep connection with the Kunpeng, yet had never known it could speak.
The Kunpeng transformed into a Peng, flapping its wings and flashing forth from the void, then transformed into a Kun, opening its massive mouth to spew forth the waters of the Nine Heavens.
The waters of the Nine Heavens were crystal clear, exuding white mist, each drop weighing as much as an entire world.
The disciples of various sects unleashed their chains of laws, piercing through layers of void, striking the ancient demon’s body.
Yet to the ancient demon, these attacks were nothing but trivial, easily ignored.
Instead, it raised a palm to block the Nine Heavens’ waters.
“Kunpeng, daring to defy this emperor, pity you have not yet reached full cultivation,” the ancient demon roared. Its massive palm suddenly erupted with boundless demonic energy, dispersing the Nine Heavens’ waters in one strike.
A fully cultivated Kunpeng could produce a single drop of Nine Heavens’ water weighing as much as a world.
Yet to summon such a Kunpeng, the Kunpeng Sect’s current foundation was insufficient.
Even hundreds or thousands of offerings would not suffice.
The ancient demon seized the Kunpeng with one hand, and the Kunpeng instantly transformed into a Peng, its body swirling with yin and yang energies.
“Hmph, I already told you, your strength is not yet complete. There’s no need to struggle.” The ancient demon gripped the Kunpeng’s wing and tore forcefully.
A shriek echoed through heaven and earth as the ancient demon, with sheer overwhelming force, snapped the Kunpeng’s mighty wing.
“Buddha’s Land Descends!”
In an instant, golden light filled the void.
Om Mani Padme Hum.
Wave after wave of sacred chants, like thunder, echoed through heaven and earth.
Golden light illuminated the world.
In the void, a Buddhist realm appeared.
Lu Yan held nothing back, his hands wrapped around his prayer beads, pouring his true essence into this most powerful technique he could muster.
“An ancient bald fool has disciples? Hahahaha… this emperor is dying of laughter,” the ancient demon sneered upon seeing the Buddhist realm in the void.
“War God Domain!”
At that moment, Meng Hao roared, his true essence surging. A phantom figure stood in the void.
This phantom was majestic, clad in golden armor, wielding a long blade that shattered the void.
“Domain of the Sword!”
At this moment, Jian Wu Di was like a peerless sword deity, twin black and white swords swirling around him, while above his head, a pitch-black vortex in the void expanded ceaselessly.
“Xiu Xiu…”
Blades of ancient swords, brimming with ultimate ferocity and sword intent, pierced the void, filling the entire sky.
“Undying and Immortal.”
Mei Qiongqi’s eyes burned with boundless fighting spirit. His only two chains of laws wrapped around his body as a mysterious force from the void surged forth, empowering him.
This was the will of immortality, the will to conquer all heavens.
…
It wasn’t only Mei Qiongqi unleashing their final strength.
The disciples of the various sects also employed their techniques.
“Hahahaha… still alive? Pity, you came too early. This emperor has fought across countless eons, fearless of anything.” The ancient demon roared at Mei Qiongqi and the others.
All of this… did not vanish.
In an instant, several powerful forces crashed toward the ancient demon.
These were the strongest forces that Mei Qiongqi and the others could currently summon.
