The Buddhist realm suppressed the evil spirits of the world, and the chants transformed into countless mysterious runes, entwining together. A golden dragon emerged, roaring fiercely, coiling around the immortal body of the ancient demon emperor.
Meng Hao roared, slashing his blade through everything, embodying the indomitable fighting spirit of the Martial God.
A sword, capable of severing all, pierced through the void, descending upon the ancient demon’s eternal body.
…
“Hahahaha! Insects! I, the Emperor, have already said—you haven’t cultivated enough yet. Today, you all shall die!” the ancient demon bellowed.
“Boom—”
In an instant, the earth trembled and the sky darkened.
This was not the power of laws, yet it surpassed them in might.
Mi Qiongqi and the others were far too weak before this ancient demon.
Before absolute power, all efforts were in vain.
“Puh—”
Under the ancient demon’s strike, everyone was flung backward, spitting out blood, their bodies seemingly shattered.
“We’re still too weak,” Lu Yan said, despair creeping into his heart as he watched the scene unfold.
Meng Hao tried to rise, but his bones were broken beyond repair from that single blow.
Too strong—far too strong.
This was an opponent they could never hope to match.
Perhaps he had still held some confidence before, but in that moment, Meng Hao understood—before the ancient demon, all their efforts were as insignificant as an itch.
At this moment, the ancient demon held the Kunpeng in his hand, which struggled fiercely, its yin and yang energies swirling. Yet to the demon, it was utterly useless.
“Hahahaha! The Kunpeng Clan was destroyed by me, the Emperor. When I return to my peak, the Kunpeng Clan will vanish from this world entirely.”
The ancient demon’s eyes were filled with ferocity, his body wreathed in demonic aura, like a peerless devil from hell. With his rugged, monstrous arms, he tore the sky apart.
The Ten Great Beasts, the Kunpeng, was split in two, blood gushing forth as it perished at the hands of the ancient demon.
Its blood stained the demon’s body, unleashing a peerless aura of carnage.
With a single inhale from his abdomen, the ancient demon swallowed the massive, severed Kunpeng into his body.
A terrifying aura descended upon the world—unstoppable.
The Kunpeng Sect’s leader was stunned beyond words.
The Kunpeng—it had been a living Kunpeng.
The strongest existence in their sect had perished at the hands of this demon emperor.
“You insect, continue offering more Kunpeng to me,” the ancient demon growled, his purple, bloodthirsty gaze fixed on the Kunpeng Sect leader.
“You monster…” the leader stepped back, his heart pounding with fear.
They had miscalculated.
Even after ten thousand years of dormancy, once revived, this demon emperor was beyond their ability to confront.
“Heaven, why have you sent us to die…” At this moment, the Kunpeng Sect leader looked up to the sky in fury.
The Dao of Heaven—it was all the Dao of Heaven.
“Hmph, even the Dao of Heaven cannot save itself—why would it care about you? All of you, die for me!” The ancient demon gazed into the void and laughed.
“Boom—”
At this moment, the heavens and earth darkened.
The thirty top sects were retreating before the ancient demon, utterly unable to resist.
If not for their coordination, the casualties would have been even greater.
“Leader, what should we do now? This ancient demon is too strong—our attacks have no effect at all!” the senior elder of Wuya said.
Leader Yan’s face was grave, his mind blank.
This was an enemy they could never face.
Ancient beings—even the smallest of them were immensely powerful.
Let alone this ancient demon emperor.
At this moment, suddenly, a light erupted from the void.
Seven-colored brilliance enveloped everyone.
Leader Yan and the others’ expressions changed. “This is…”
At this moment, everyone felt a change within themselves.
Lu Yan and the others were gravely injured, but under this seven-colored light, their wounds healed instantly, and their cultivation also surged.
The ancient demon observed their transformation and gazed into the void. “So you couldn’t bear to watch, huh? But what can you do? This can only temporarily enhance their strength. It seems you can’t sustain it for long.”
At this moment, everyone stood up, astonished at their transformation.
“My cultivation has improved.”
“My injuries are gone.”
“What exactly is this light? Could it be the Dao of Heaven showing mercy?”
…
“Everyone, prepare yourselves. At this moment, we must unite and suppress the demon emperor.”
…
This seven-colored light greatly boosted everyone’s morale.
Lu Yan and the others exchanged glances.
“Great Heaven’s Peak.”
Their cultivation had previously only been at the Small Heaven or Entering Spirit stages, but now it suddenly surged.
Although temporary, it filled them with infinite hope.
“Everyone, attack!” Mi Qiong roared.
“Yes!”
At this moment, the enhanced group unleashed a far greater power, even surpassing their previous strength by dozens of times.
The Buddhist realm descended.
The sword domain.
The Martial God.
All these forces radiated dazzling light.
The heavens cracked, the earth split—like the end of the world.
For thousands of miles around, everything was shattered, lifeless.
This place, after this battle, would become completely desolate.
But facing this ancient demon, they had no time to think about that.
If they couldn’t suppress it, it would bring disaster upon the entire Dongling Continent.
Two hours passed.
Though short in time, to them, it felt like an eternity.
Even with the enhancement from the seven-colored light, they were still no match for the ancient demon.
“Bang! Bang!”
Each sect’s members were now on the brink of collapse.
The hope from before was now completely shattered.
“Insects… damnable insects…” The ancient demon, eyes blazing with ferocity, scornfully looked down upon them all.
To him, this group of insects were as annoying as that one person from before.
“Leader, are you alright?” Elder Wuya’s body had reached its limit, blood spilling from his mouth. This battle was even more perilous than the near destruction of their sect last time.
Perhaps this time, there truly was no hope left.
At this moment, Elder Wuya thought of that brat, but shook his head. Even with the full strength of all sects, they couldn’t match the ancient demon. That kid, no matter how strong, could never stand against an ancient demon emperor.
“I’m fine, I can still hold on,” Leader Yan said, though his condition was dire.
…
Mi Qiongqi was the most severely damaged, but an undying will kept him rising again and again, only to fall once more.
“We’ve done our best,” Meng Hao lay there, his hands torn open, bones exposed. He didn’t know how many times he had slashed until he could no longer feel his hands.
“Master Brother Lu, I didn’t expect you to be so strong. I never noticed it before,” Jian Wu Di said, looking at Lu Yan, who lay motionless, gazing into the void.
Lu Yan didn’t respond, simply lying there, his mind filled with memories.
The day he entered the sect.
That annoying Senior Brother Lin, who had overlooked him and chosen those useless fellows instead.
He had always strived to prove Lin’s judgment wrong, to make him regret missing out on a genius like himself, training relentlessly, even with this mysterious Buddhist bead necklace, never relaxing for a moment.
At this moment, Lu Yan suddenly realized how childish it all was, yet it remained a beautiful memory.
Detached from all desires, seeing through everything. In the moment between life and death, Lu Yan understood.
“If I do not go to hell, who will?” Lu Yan whispered softly.
“Master Brother Lu, what are you saying?” Jian Wu Di was startled and looked at Lu Yan.
At this moment, Lu Yan silently stood up, palms joined, radiant Buddhist light bursting forth.
Step by step, he walked toward the ancient demon emperor.
“Master Brother Lu, what are you doing…” everyone shouted in alarm.
But to Lu Yan now, their voices were as if blocked out.
At this moment, the mysterious Buddhist bead around Lu Yan’s neck suddenly floated up, emitting a blinding golden light.
A Buddha appeared, floating above Lu Yan’s head.
“World-Honored King Buddha.”
“Leader, elders, senior brothers, disciples shall go ahead first,” Lu Yan stopped and turned to everyone.
…
“Hmph, little bald monk, making a grand vow to suppress me, the Emperor. But you’re not worthy,” the ancient demon sneered.
“Very well then, since you insist, I shall grant your wish. Let me see how strong your vow truly is.”
In an instant, a fist capable of annihilating everything descended from the heavens.
Lu Yan stood there, expressionless, awaiting the final moment.
“Junior Brother…”
…
“Who the hell is stepping on my head? Get off!” At this moment, someone seemed to be trying to emerge from beneath the ground where Lu Yan stood, but was blocked by him.
Then, from the ground, a hand reached out, grabbing Lu Yan’s ankle and flinging him aside.
“What the—” Lin Fan climbed up from below, his face stunned as he saw the scene before him.
Not only was Lin Fan shocked.
The Holy Sect members were also stunned.
“Lin Fan…”
“Junior Master…”
And Lu Yan, thrown aside by Lin Fan, wore an annoyed expression as he saw the figure.
“Damn it, it’s you again.”
…
Lin Fan hadn’t expected to see his sect members immediately upon emerging. But at that moment, he suddenly felt something approaching to strike him.
Looking up, he was instantly stunned.
“What the—just got out, and I’m getting attacked again?”
“Bang—”
“Watch out!”
The Holy Sect members roared in alarm.
But by then, it was already too late.
