Chapter 891: Chapter 891: Immortal Clouds Stir in All Directions

“Dulongzi! And even Ao Xuan! What are you doing, sealing off the entire Barbaric Wilderness and causing its collapse!”

Miaoyan Immortal Honorific’s charming face sank as she rebuked.

Ao Xuan Immortal Honored narrowed his old eyes, his cold gleam revealed, and without answering Miaoyan’s question, he suddenly raised his hand, directly launching two dark fire rays towards Miaoyan and Liuhe.

The nature of those fire rays was unknown; one was firm, the other flexible, and within the fire rays, traces of Dao Laws faintly exuded, instantly spreading like a web in the void, causing the chilling void’s temperature to suddenly rise.

The power of Dao Laws dispersed to both sides, condensing into shadows of black fire maces thousands of zhang wide. Once swung, they immediately shook the void, sweeping away billions of black flames. Whenever the mace shadows passed, the void was sliced open and began to burn endlessly, billowing black smoke.

As the mace shadows fell, beast sounds resonated between heaven and earth. The sound initially sharp, then morphing into a low drone after entering the ears, resembling dragon chants, elephant calls, the wrathful roar of ancient beasts, and the chanting Sanskrit of ancient monks.

The expressions of the two immortal venerables, Liuhe and Miaoyan, drastically changed!

If they were not mistaken, these burning twin maces were none other than the famous Offering Vessel of Ancient Demons within the True Dragon Clan—the ’Brahmic Demon Mace’!

The mace has a significant origin, as a weapon left behind by a deceased demon emperor of the True Dragon Clan, its grade reaching Innate!

It is rumored that the demon emperor who forged this mace was proficient in Buddhist principles, merging Buddha and demon paths within himself, thus able to craft this weapon.

This Brahmic Demon Mace is extraordinarily heavy, only ancient monsters of the Eternity Realm entering the path through the body can wield it effortlessly. If strength is sufficient, wielding this mace can cleave heavens and earth with one strike.

Ao Xuan himself isn’t proficient in Body Refinement techniques and can only throw this mace like a hidden weapon, managing to exert only thirty percent of its power. Yet, even so, it made Liuhe and Miaoyan’s gaze heavy.

Liuhe Immortal Venerable hesitated not at all, spewing out a beam of black light from his mouth. Once the light fell into the void, it instantly transformed into a black jade seal, swirling outwards—it is precisely his Dao Weapon.

Upon the jade seal, nearly a thousand sovereign qi wound around it, its imperial majesty striking one’s heart with awe.

A thousand strands of sovereign qi instantly shot out, forming a massive thousand-zhang golden palm that directly grasped towards one of the mace shadows!

Miaoyan Immortal Honorific bit open her finger, flicking it forwards multiple times, transforming her blood into stars, instantly dotting twelve blood-colored stars in the void.

The stars interlinked, forming a constellation resembling Pegasus. Once the constellation formed, its overwhelming momentum immediately pulled into effect, the twelve stars condensed into a thousand-zhang single-horned Pegasus, leaping out, its hooves shattering the void, its horn aimed at the other mace shadow!

“Liuhe Seal and Ziwei Star Technique… relying on these, you won’t be able to stop my Brahmic Demon Mace.”

Ao Xuan revealed disdain in his eyes, slightly shook his head, suddenly changing his hand’s seals, the twin maces of Brahmic Demon sweeps across, Innate might descending from the sky.

The left mace, incomparably vigorous, engraved with demon elephant totems, seemingly absorbing the power of mountains and rivers into one mace. Just one strike shattered the thousand-zhang golden palm evolved from sovereign qi, overwhelming with a heavy impression.

The right mace, gentle as water, engraved with demon dragon totems. Amid dragon roars, waves of gentle strength unleashed, conjured images of a giant dragon’s tail. Just one sweep shattered the single-horned Pegasus into scattered starry light.

Liuhe Immortal Venerable’s gaze condensed, flicking his fingers forward, immediately transforming the jade seal Dao Weapon into a mountain, fiercely crashing down towards the elephant mace.

Seeing this, Ao Xuan burst with laughter, eyes filled with fierce beams, transforming his seals once again, with the elephant mace meeting the jade seal and fiercely smashing down!

In a clash of the two treasures, it immediately led to the collapse of the whole void in this space. Comparing the confrontation, the elephant mace was one step superior.

After one breath, the jade seal Dao Weapon was densely cracked.

After two breaths, the jade seal Dao Weapon was invaded by the Dao Laws of fire, increasingly torn from the inside out, glowing red like a soldering iron.

After three breaths, the elephant mace swept with full might, its tremendous force crushing the skies, wild and ruthless, directly sweeping Liuhe Immortal Venerable’s jade seal Dao Weapon into pieces!

As the Dao Weapon was destroyed, Liuhe Immortal Venerable’s face immediately turned white, a mixture of shock and anger overlaid by disbelief.

Having the Dao Weapon shattered by the elephant mace, Liuhe hadn’t steadied his form yet when the dragon mace swept diagonally towards him again. His expression turned to surprise, his form swayed, and he vanished into the void, melding into it.

The dragon mace similarly vanished in a swoop, reappearing to sweep towards a certain void spot, sending Liuhe Immortal Venerable flying out from the void, coughing blood repeatedly as he retreated.

Without the Brahmic Demon Mace, Ao Xuan’s strength would only match Liuhe’s evenly, but having this treasure in hand, Ao Xuan was unexpectedly pressing down Liuhe overwhelmingly!

Miaoyan Immortal Honorific, inclined to assist from the side, intending to help Liuhe counter the twin maces, unexpectedly felt a chill pierce through her back, and swiftly turned away.

Behind her, an immense, towering dark shadow was approaching, its massive hand swinging directly towards her, as if the sky were collapsing upon her!

That dark shadow turned out to be the floating ancient monument!

At this moment, Old Ancestor Dulong stood atop the ancient monument, forming hand seals with ten fingers, activating the monument with full force, launching an attack on her.

The monument was not lifeless, releasing a fierce aura akin to fierce beasts, as flakes of stone shed, revealing fossil-like white bones beneath the stone skin!

The monument’s grasp exceeded an Immortal Venerable Strike in power, comparable to an Immortal King’s blow!

Faced with the danger, Miaoyan Immortal Honorific rapidly flicked her delicate fingers, releasing twenty-four drops of blood to fly past her fingertips, transforming them into stars, connecting in a constellation.

It was a constellation resembling a divine turtle, the momentum moved, and a mottled ancient turtle shell shield flew out within the constellation, shielding against the ancient monument.

With defense this strong, Dulongzi considered it impossible to directly crush this shield.

However, under one monument grasp, the giant shield emitted a dull sound, then completely disintegrated!

The power of that collapse continued forward, striking Miaoyan Immortal Honorific, the sound of bones cracking resounded within her delicate form, as though collided with a Cultivation Star, an unbearable force.

Her slender, delicate form flew like a broken kite, pale and bloodless in her charming face.

Dulongzi controlled the ancient monument’s strike, by no means weaker than Ao Xuan’s dual mace attack.

“Hehe, Miaoyan, oh Miaoyan, do you know, such monuments, I have six more in hand!”

Old Ancestor Dulong’s words, like a clap of thunder, exploded in Miaoyan Immortal Honorific’s ears.

Just one monument rendered her powerless to resist, she couldn’t imagine if six more such monuments appeared, how she and Liuhe could ever survive!

As if confirming his words, the ancient monument continuously attacked Miaoyan Immortal Honorific, while Old Ancestor Dulong was calmly, leisurely, extending his hand into the void, summoning countless stones and bones, piling them piece by piece, forming a second ancient monument!

The demon race had run Barbarian Wilderness extensively for years, discovering not only fragments of the ancient monument of the Seventh Generation Barbarian Ancestor but also the broken ancient monument of the previous six generations of Barbarian Ancestors.

The monument that initially attacked Miaoyan was precisely the ancient monument of the Seventh Generation Barbarian Ancestor, Fan Mokong, imbued with a blood soul, formed by one hundred and eight Reverse Infants fused together.

With this blood soul, the monument ceased to be merely an ancient monument but akin to a puppet statue!

As Old Ancestor Dulong activated his divine skill, the shadow of the second ancient monument gradually formed, appearing atop the void!

The moment the second ancient monument completed its form, its hollow gaze immediately bore down on Old Ancestor Dulong, and from its body emanated an ancient voice of inquiry.

“I am the Sixth Generation Barbarian Ancestor… Fan Lianxiu… Who are you… Daring to summon my bones to form an image…”

“Hehe, junior Dulongzi, paying respects to the Sixth Generation Barbarian Ancestor, although I am of the demon race, I have nevertheless established a pact with the beasts of this realm, hence am a friend and not an enemy to senior. Please be assured!”

Old Ancestor Dulong smacked a demonic talisman onto the second ancient monument, instantly suppressing the voice within the monument.

He continued to summon other ancient monuments from the void!

The third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh!

Old Ancestor Dulong unexpectedly summoned all the remains of the Barbarian Ancestors of seven generations consecutively from the endless void, forming ancient monuments!

Yet, the monuments of the earlier six generations differed from the seventh monument, lacking the blood soul of fused Reverse Infants within them, unable to serve as puppets to attack Miaoyan Immortal Honorific.

Old Ancestor Dulong quietly regarded Miaoyan Immortal Honorific as if sensing a dead entity, saying nothing, waiting!

Waiting for the operation of the Primordial Inversion Dust Formation, waiting for countless blood-sacrificed lives to transform into Reverse Infants, Reverse Infants fusing, to create new blood souls!

Once the remaining six blood souls return, all seven ancient statues will gather and turn for the third time, slaughtering the entire wilderness and summoning the ancient passage to the Sky Desolate Ancient Realm!

“It won’t be long before the remaining six Barbarian Ancestor blood souls form within the wilderness. By then, as long as the blood souls are summoned, the ancient passage will emerge…” Ancestor Dulong smiled with satisfaction.

Ao Xuan, relying on the power of the Brahmic Demon Mace, had already severely injured Liuhe Immortal Lord.

Ancestor Dulong, leveraging the ancient statue’s power, had also severely injured Liuhe Immortal Lord.

Miaoyan Immortal Honorific bit her lip, struggling to resist the onslaught from the Seventh Generation ancient statue.

She knew that she and Liuhe were no match for Ao Xuan and the others; utter defeat was just a matter of time.

She could feel that as the wilderness shattered, there were human experts being slaughtered by the barbarian beasts every moment.

If not for the existence of the Banishing Immortal Force, human experts would naturally not fear the barbarian beasts, but now…

“Damn it! What is the demon race trying to do? Are they mad? Don’t they know that the Barbarian Wilderness Ancient Domain hides an ancient passage leading to the Sky Desolate Ancient Realm? By causing this destruction, aren’t they afraid of damaging the ancient passage? Or is it that their goal in causing the wilderness to collapse is precisely for this passage…”

Miaoyan Immortal Honorific’s delicate face was frosted with coldness, as she secretly activated the jade talisman hidden in her sleeve. The jade talisman, conferred by the Four Oceans Sect, could open a temporary gateway at any moment to withdraw from the wilderness.

Yet, currently, the wilderness was sealed by the power of the Primordial Inversion Dust Formation, rendering the jade talisman impossible to activate no matter what.

The temporary gateway couldn’t be opened, cutting off any connection between the wilderness and the outside. No one from outside could come in; no one inside could get out.

“When I was stationed in the wilderness, there was a secret command from the Sect that if there were changes in the wilderness, the ’Heaven-Sealing Celestial Decree’ could be used to delay, waiting for reinforcements from the Four Oceans Sect… I only hold half of the immortal decree, the other half is in the hands of the Six Harmonies Ally…”

“I’ve roughly guessed one or two aspects of why the wilderness is collapsing. There’s boundless formation power circulating in this heaven and earth, moving with the turning of that ancient statue. As long as this formation power is sealed, the demon race’s plot should be slightly hindered…”

“If what the demon race covets is truly the ancient passage, then no matter what, they cannot be allowed to succeed!”

Miaoyan Immortal Honorific’s beautiful eyes resolved, her red lips slightly parted, spewing out a mist of boiling blood, her face turning paler, clearly taking a substantial backlash from producing this mist.

As the blood mist appeared, it immediately formed seventy-two stars in the void, linking together into a constellation.

Within the constellation, an ancient wooden prison cage appeared suddenly, directly trapping Ancestor Dulong and the Seventh Generation ancient statue within it.

With Miaoyan Immortal Honorific’s divine skill, she could only trap the ancient statue for a moment.

Just as she trapped the ancient statue, she immediately pointed her lotus foot, flying swiftly toward Liuhe’s direction, her soft palm beckoning, holding a half volume of golden light-emitting yellow cloth immortal decree.

The immortal decree unfolded in the wind, depicted with only one divine seal script written in vermilion brush, elegant and free.

’Gui’!

Liuhe Immortal Lord was struggling bitterly in Ancestor Dulong’s hands, and at this moment, seeing Miaoyan Immortal Honorific take out the immortal decree, he already knew her intention.

In his hand, he also had the other half of the Heaven-Sealing Celestial Decree, with a vermilion brush-written ’Cun’ character on it.

’Gui’ and ’Cun’ combined, it becomes ’Seal’! Once the two immortal decrees are united, the power of sealing the heavens is possessed. Even if there are changes in the wilderness, the human experts can temporarily ensure their safety by relying on these immortal decrees.

“It seems that the power of the Heaven-Sealing Celestial Decree is the only option!”

In his retreat, Liuhe Immortal Lord waved to take out the half volume of celestial decree, suddenly unfurling it, activating it.

Almost simultaneously, the celestial decrees in the hands of Liuhe and Miaoyan each flew out, merging into a complete celestial decree in the void.

The vermilion ’Seal’ character immediately flew out from the celestial decree, the inherent sealing power spreading throughout the entire wilderness in an instant.

The operation of the Primordial Inversion Dust Formation became sluggish due to the power of the Heaven-Sealing Celestial Decree.

The rotation of the ancient barbarian statue standing in the void, already slow, became even slower due to the Heaven-Sealing Celestial Decree.

The whole wilderness space suddenly twisted, appearing one after another vermilion giant gates, from which torrents of sealing power emerged.

A total of 108,000 giant gates, among which 8,000 are life gates, capable of accommodating heaven and earth. The remaining 100,000 are death gates, containing formation arrays, and once mistakenly entered, one is immediately attacked and trapped by the formation array.

Pieces of shattered continents were each sucked into different life gates.

Miaoyan and Liuhe, as they continually retreated, were each absorbed into different life gates.

Ancestor Dulong propelled the ancient statue’s palm to smash the cage to break free, yet before he could steady himself, he was directly sucked into a life gate.

The seven ancient statues were each sucked into different life gates.

Ao Xuan was shocked and furious, clearly not expecting that Miaoyan and Liuhe held the Heaven-Sealing Celestial Decree!

“It’s actually the Heaven-Sealing Celestial Decree! Damn it!”

Ao Xuan’s face turned extremely unsightly, losing his balance, he was also sucked into a life gate.

The scenery before him rapidly changed; Ao Xuan barely stabilized his form, sweeping his gaze over the interface he was in, his face darkening to an alarming degree.

In sight was a barren and desolated shattered continent, and above the sky, hundreds of giant gates appeared faintly, some alive, some dead, difficult to discern.

Ao Xuan identified one of the giant gates, flying into it; he remembered it was the gate that sucked him into this place.

He originally intended to return the way he came, but bizarrely, he appeared in another interface, still a life gate interface.

After passing through several giant gates, he eventually fell into a death gate interface full of formation arrays!

With Ao Xuan’s strength, he was temporarily trapped by the death gate formation array, unable to extricate himself!

“How hateful! Originally, as long as Liuhe and Miaoyan were killed, there would be no more obstructions, allowing the ancient statue to turn thrice, unsealing the ancient passage! I didn’t expect that they would hold the Heaven-Sealing Celestial Decree, directly sealing the Primordial Inversion Dust Formation, sealing the entire wilderness into 108,000 Heaven-Sealing Gates!”

“Only four-tenths of the Primordial Inversion Dust Formation remains, and with the strength of the Heaven-Sealing Celestial Decree, it can seal the formation for at least seven days! Seven days later, the power of the Heaven-Sealing Celestial Decree will be exhausted, at which point the wilderness will return to its original state!”

“Damn it! If the plan is delayed by seven days, who knows what changes might occur! Should the clan leader find out I’ve failed, certainly severe punishment would be meted out!”

To respond to the onslaught of the death gate formation, Ao Xuan’s face became increasingly exasperated.

…

In the Southern Heaven Immortal World, within the main sect of the Four Oceans Sect, atop the Fourfold Mountain, a stone statue as tall as half a person suddenly opened its eyes, transformed into a black-haired, black-clothed child with double braids.

Despite being in a child’s form, the person’s eyes were of ancient indifference, bearing a restrained momentum that, once released, was earth-shattering!

This person was the foremost among the ancient emperors of the four sections of the Four Oceans Sect, renowned as the ’Tongtian Ancient Emperor’!

Tongtian Ancient Emperor calculated on his fingers, then after a moment, smiled warmly like jade.

“The demon race ultimately couldn’t hold back and wants to act against the ancient passage. Over four hundred boundary wars and countless fallen bones, all for this day. The celestial decree can seal the wilderness for seven days; seven days later, the ancient passage must emerge. The demon race seems intent on turning the wilderness into their mountain cave realm, monopolizing the passage. How greedy! Unfortunately, if they wish to monopolize the passage of the wilderness, they must first see if we humans agree.”

After a brief silence, Tongtian Ancient Emperor suddenly transmitted a few words into the starry sky.

As soon as his voice fell, it immediately transformed into dozens of purple-gold voice-transmitting flying swords, streaming through the stars in an instant!

On this day, all the Immortal Emperors registered with the Four Oceans Sect received Tongtian Ancient Emperor’s message!

In the Southern Heaven Immortal World, at the Fate-controlling Immortal Palace.

In the void, a purple-gold voice-transmitting flying sword soared through, quickly hiding and appearing, moving so fast that even ordinary Immortal Lords and Immortal Kings could hardly capture the light of the sword!

In the Wind-Thunder Mountain Cave Abode, Fate Wielding Immortal Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, reached forward to grasp the passing sword light, crushing it directly.

After listening to the message from the Tongtian Ancient Emperor, the Fate Wielding Immortal Emperor smiled slightly and contentedly closed his eyes.

“The Ancient Passage within the Barbarian Wilderness, is it finally about to reveal itself? In seven days… it might be best not to watch this commotion.”

In the Southern Heaven Immortal World, at the Zifu Academy’s Palace of Tribulations.

The Tribulation Wielding Immortal Emperor was meditating under a green lamp, dressed in palace attire, her figure enchanting, with shadows scattering across the ground.

Her expression was serene, but this tranquility was soon shattered by a message-transmitting flying sword.

“The demon race has finally made a move against the Barbarian Wilderness… The emergence of the Ancient Passage, I wonder if it will be an opportunity or a calamity for the Dreamland Realm.”

She rose gracefully with worry in her beautiful eyes, her figure gradually becoming faint until she finally disappeared from the hall, her whereabouts unknown.

In the Northern Heaven Immortal World, on the Black Martial Star.

The Tablets Master Immortal Emperor, Meng Xuanzi, was as usual, giving a sermon on the Black Martial Star. Just as he reached a critical point, he suddenly received a message from the Southern Heaven, and his expression immediately changed.

After instructing some words to his disciples, Meng Xuanzi’s figure flickered, he flew out of the Black Martial Star, his destination unknown.

Leaving behind countless cultivators who had come to listen to his teachings, all looking at each other in dismay.

In the Northern Heaven Immortal World, in the Northern Abyssal Star Domain, at the Yishi Palace.

Deep within the forbidden area of Yishi Palace, inside a seven-colored tower, an old woman in grey robes was scolding a beautiful woman in palace attire.

If Ning Fan were here, he would recognize that the beautiful woman being scolded was Yuan Yao, with whom he had a past of ambiguous relations.

“Yao Er, this time, you have really disappointed your teacher! Although the engagement between Bei Xiao Man and the Ximen Aristocratic Family was facilitated by the Great Elder, it was also approved by your teacher. Why did you conspire with the Ximen Aristocratic Family to break off this engagement? I know that you love your daughter and disdain political marriages, but do you know that behind the Ximen Aristocratic Family stands a secret clan, and if our sect wishes to fully control Yishi Palace, we especially need the strength of the secret clan…”

Yuan Yao hung her head in silence, but her eyes harbored a hint of bitterness.

Years later, she had discovered that Lu Bei, whom she encountered in the past, and Zhou Ming, whom her daughter Bei Xiao Man was infatuated with, were indeed the same person.

Lu Bei… Zhou Ming… Ning Fan…

The young man she once had feelings for turned out to be the same one her daughter loved… how ironic.

“Whether Lu Bei or Ning Fan… since Xiao Man has given her heart and soul to this person, I naturally cannot marry Xiao Man to the Ximen Aristocratic Family anymore. Fortunately, the Ximen Aristocratic Family was reasonable and agreed to annul the engagement. It is said that Young Master Ximen Ye of the Ximen Family made efforts to agree to the annulment…”

“If one day Lu Bei comes to the Northern Heaven and meets Xiao Man, Xiao Man should be very happy, but I… how should I face him… Meeting is better than not meeting…”

Yuan Yao felt pain in her heart but remained silent, enduring the rebuke of the grey-robed old woman.

Suddenly, a purple-gold message-transmitting flying sword cut through the air.

The grey-robed old woman caught the flying sword, crushed it in her hand, and after hearing the message, her face lit up with a smile.

“Good, good, good! Seven days, is it? Excellent!”

After finishing her smile, the old woman turned her face coldly to Yuan Yao and snorted, “The matter of Bei Xiao Man, since it is settled, we shall let it be. In the future, if you go against your teacher’s orders again, don’t blame me for turning against you without mercy!”

With those words, the old woman’s figure flickered, and she flew out of the seven-colored tower, her destination unknown.

Leaving Yuan Yao alone, sighing deeply, as if all strength had been drained from her body.

“Lu Bei, I have done my best for you and Xiao Man. If one day you come to the Northern Heaven, you must treat Xiao Man well and not fail her, otherwise, I will never forgive you…”

The Immortal Emperors affiliated with the Four Oceans Sect were mostly gathered in the Southern and Northern Heavens.

On this day, within the Southern and Northern Heavens, dozens of Immortal Emperors moved mysteriously, their whereabouts unknown.

On this day, within the Land of Demons of the Upper Realm, dozens of great emperors of the demon race left the demon race, their destinations also unknown.

The place where the Land of Demons and the Four Heavens immortal world intersect is a boundless blood-red void.

Within the void, countless fragments of white bones floated, occasionally intersected by scarlet meteors.

Among those white bones are also remnants of eternal cultivators, as hard as acquired immortal treasures.

But if those remnants are struck by the scarlet meteors, they would immediately shatter! The impact of the meteors is enough to wound even the Eternal Immortal Venerable!

This blood-red void is known to the world as the ’Crimson Penetration Passage,’ one of the routes connecting the Four Heavens and the upper realm of the Demon World.

These reckless scarlet meteors are called ’Crimson Penetration Stars.’ A single Penetration Star can directly kill someone in the Shedding Void Stage. Ten can kill a Yin Yang Transformation, a hundred can slay an Eternal Immortal Venerable, a thousand can destroy an Immortal King, and with ten thousand Crimson Penetration Stars, even an Immortal Emperor would be obliterated!

The Crimson Penetration Passage is extremely dangerous and is divided into east, middle, and west segments. The Four Heavens occupy the east segment, while the demon spirits reside in the west.

If a Human Great Emperor were to trespass into the west segment of the Crimson Penetration Passage, they would face the onslaught of the Crimson Penetration Stars; equally, if a Demon World Great Emperor were to trespass into the east segment, they too would face the Penetration Stars’ attacks.

The accumulated remains in the Crimson Penetration Passage are the remnants of human and demon powerhouses who once dared to trespass.

Because of the existence of the Crimson Penetration Stars, few emperors of either race dare to venture into the Crimson Penetration Passage.

Usually, the Crimson Penetration Passage is scarcely visited, but today, more and more Immortal Emperors are rushing towards this place, gathering in the middle segment of the passage, including Human Great Emperors and Demon Great Emperors.

The two factions of Immortal Emperors stood on opposite sides of the void, not engaging with one another, but the tension was palpable.

This was not the time to make a move.

Below them was a grey void, which was the location of the Barbaric Wilderness Realm.

However, the Barbarian Wilderness Realm was currently sealed off, and even with numerous Great Emperors present, they could not enter due to being completely enveloped by the Primordial Inversion Dust Formation!

The schemes of the demon race had not escaped the notice of the humans.

The demons had shattered the Barbaric Wilderness, activating the Primordial Inversion Dust Formation, whereas the humans had activated the Heaven-Sealing Celestial Decree.

“Hehe, the Heaven-Sealing Celestial Decree you say? The Four Oceans Sect has indeed made such a grand gesture, bestowing it upon the guardian Immortal Venerable. Fortunately, I never expected Ao Xuan or Dulongzi to seize the Barbaric Wilderness entirely… Seven days later, once the Ancient Passage emerges, we may very well have to battle the humans for it!”

The chief of the True Dragon Clan, dressed in a gold robe, stood tall, with profound eyes that revealed no emotion, facing the Tongtian Ancient Emperor from afar.

The Tongtian Ancient Emperor also showed no expression, looking directly at the chief of the True Dragon Clan without avoidance.

Behind the Tongtian Ancient Emperor stood the Tribulation Wielding and Tablets Master Immortal Emperors, the grey-robed old woman from Yishi Palace, and many Immortal Emperors from the Northern and Southern Heavens.

No one chose to make a move at this moment; everyone was waiting for the confrontation seven days later.

Seven days from now, should the Ancient Passage appear, the Immortal Emperors present would surely engage in a fierce battle for it.

…

Ning Fan was unaware that nearly a hundred Great Emperors from the two races were currently watching outside the Barbaric Wilderness.

At this moment, he coldly stared at the two blood-red-eyed calamity slaves before him. These two were demon cultivators who had previously attempted to massacre the city.

Now, these two demon cultivators knelt straight before Ning Fan, devoid of excess expression.

They had been subdued by Ning Fan through the power of Jie Nian, turned into calamity slaves. In a sense, they were already dead, yet continued to live in the form of calamity slaves, obeying only Ning Fan’s commands, recognizing no other kin!

More than four thousand Barbarian Beasts, in turn, obeyed the commands of the two demons, prostrating themselves on the ground like a mountain range, hanging their heads, fearing Ning Fan.

Ning Fan activated the Reverse Spirit Technique, searching the memories of the two demons with it. From these memories, Ning Fan learned that the demon race now had not only one Immortal Venerable stationed in the Barbarian Wilderness but had welcomed a second one.

Ning Fan also learned that the current collapse of the Barbarian Wilderness is an essential part of the demon race’s blood sacrifice. As of now, the entire Barbarian Wilderness has been sealed, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.

The ultimate purpose of the demon race in collapsing the Barbarian Wilderness is unknown to the two demons. Except for Dulongzi and Ao Xuan, no other demon knows.

What Ning Fan knows is that a certain agreement has been reached between the demon race and the barbarian beasts.

Most high-ranking barbarian beasts have already established blood bans with the strong demon race, obeying the demon race.

The so-called blood ban is a restriction planted in the bloodline, which only forms if the barbarian beast voluntarily agrees. The two demons in front of him have each commanded 2,300 barbarian beasts through their internal blood ban.

Similar demon cultivators with such blood bans are many, commanding countless barbarian beasts, following the orders of the Demon Race Immortal Venerable. Once the Barbarian Wilderness collapses, they will lead the barbarian beasts in a massacre throughout the Barbarian Wilderness.

Once the Banishing Immortal Force is activated, most human cultivators will be no match for the barbarian beasts, making it easy to hunt them down in the shattered Barbarian Wilderness!

“The departure gate was supposed to appear in another year, unexpectedly, it arrives right before the demon race collapses the Barbarian Wilderness…”

Ning Fan’s eyes revealed azure spikes as he activated his divine skills to extract the blood bans from the two demons’ bloodline and swallowed them, raising his hand to kill the two demons afterwards.

In the past, he couldn’t see or detach the blood bans, but now, after opening the Second Gate of Tianren, he can easily manage them.

These two demons had Ao Xuan, the Honored Immortal of the demon race’s sensing restrictions planted in them, so keeping them would do more harm than good.

By swallowing the blood bans, Ning Fan could directly control over four thousand barbarian beasts, without needing to keep the two demons, avoiding potential troubles.

He took out the jade talisman seized from Si Ming and attempted to activate it, but discovered it couldn’t be activated, nor could it open the Barbarian Flash Passage to leave the Barbarian Wilderness.

“Can’t leave…”

Ning Fan frowned silently, suddenly raised his head, and glanced at the ancient statue’s shadow at the highest point of the void.

A vast wave of exchanging blows was coming from the ancient shadow above, clearly indicating a battle between figures of the Immortal Venerable level!

Gradually, more ancient statue shadows appeared at the peak of the sky, eventually, there were seven of them!

Soon, an incomparably powerful sealing force descended upon the world. Subsequently, numerous gigantic doors appeared in the void, absorbing Ning Fan together with the broken continent where Tianman City was located, into one of the life gates.

Along with them, several other broken continents were absorbed into the same life gate, yet there were no living beings left, seemingly already sacrificed by blood.

Ning Fan’s eyes flickered with azure light, gazing towards the gigantic doors within the void.

With his vision, he could faintly discern that these gigantic doors divided into life gates and death gates.

Before he could look in detail, suddenly there was a rumbling sound from within one of the life gates.

Then, a broken continent flew out directly from within that life gate!

On that broken continent were hundreds of human cultivators. Most of these human cultivators were only at the Void Fragmentation realm, with the highest cultivation being an advanced female cultivator in the Human Profound realm, but even she was suppressed by the Banishing Immortal Force to only the late stage of Void Fragmentation.

The faces of these cultivators were all filled with panic, as several hundred barbarian beasts were currently chasing them madly!

Although the highest cultivation among the chasing barbarian beasts was only Human Profound, given the suppressive effects of Banishing Immortal Force on these hundreds of cultivators, their fate would be death if they got caught!

“Are we going to die…” The Fate Immortal female cultivator’s face was filled with despair.

Her name was Tong’er, one of the many handmaidens of Miaoyan Immortal Honorific.

Due to the collapse of the Barbarian Wilderness continent, the continent she and hundreds of human cultivators were on was separated, and due to the forces of the Heaven-Sealing Celestial Decree, they were absorbed into a certain life gate.

Within that life gate, the barbarian beasts were numerous, making these cultivators, who were already suppressed by Banishing Immortal Force, no match for them, unable to do anything but flee.

They were rushing into other life gates looking to find human reinforcements.

Unfortunately, they had crossed several life gates but still had yet to find any human aid.

It must be said that their luck was indeed good, yet to have unwittingly entered any of the death gates, otherwise, they would have perished already.

Just as despair was about to overcome them, they discovered that within this life gate, there were indeed several broken continents, with one seeming to have traces of cultivator’s aura, though indistinct.

Tong’er excitedly spread out her spirit sense towards the broken continent where Tianman City was, but upon a quick scan, her heart sank again.

That broken continent indeed had cultivators’ aura, but even more numerous were the auras of thousands of barbarian beasts, including one Shekong Barbarian Beast!

“There are barbarian beasts here too! Even a Shekong barbarian beast!”

Tong’er closed her eyes in despair.

The highest cultivation among the chasing barbarian beasts behind was only Human Profound, yet it already made them desperate.

The broken continent ahead had thousands of barbarian beasts lurking, including even a Shekong Barbarian Beast…

What they had thought was finding human aid, was instead stumbling into an even more dangerous barbarian beast nest.

The other human cultivators also showed expressions of despair.

Suddenly, Tong’er heard the hundreds of barbarian beasts chasing behind them letting out fear-filled roars.

She opened her eyes in surprise and the first thing she saw was a man with ghost eyes and silver hair, dressed in red and white robes, standing in the air, coldly watching all beings. With just one glance, he made several hundred barbarian beasts tremble!

Tong’er couldn’t believe her eyes, gazing at that man, who exuded the aura of a human cultivator. From this man, Tong’er sensed a momentum not weaker than a mid-stage Shekong cultivator!

One must know that the entire Barbarian Wilderness is suppressed by Banishing Immortal Force now, and any second step cultivators under the Eternity realm are suppressed by one major realm.

This man could exude a mid-stage Shekong momentum, could he have been a mid-phase Shattered Thought old monster before being suppressed by Banishing Immortal Force?!

“Mid-phase Shattered Thought!” Tong’er’s gaze immediately became fervent.

Any human cultivator who could reach the mid-phase Shattered Thought was a renowned old monster, a senior she could only look up to.

“This woman looks familiar, seems to be one of Miaoyan Immortal Honorific’s handmaidens…”

Ning Fan’s gaze flickered slightly, before making a decision after a moment.

He was cold-hearted by nature. Watching these human cultivators getting chased by barbarian beasts, a man of his character would most likely turn a blind eye.

After all, saving these people and keeping them around would become a hassle to some extent.

Now, with the chaotic unrest in the Barbarian Wilderness, Ning Fan had his own hands full, how could he have the mood to care for others?
