Chapter 420: A Sword That Illuminates All Heavens, the Demon-Slaying Sword! (Part 2)
"If we can take the ancient demon down with us, All Heavens will live. If not, All Heavens will fall!"
"Looking back, the Sages likely anticipated this situation and went into hiding in advance. They preserved the seeds of hope, which indicates just how difficult and hopeless this battle is."
"Regardless, we have done our best, for All Heavens and for ourselves."
"Is the Realm Stone set up? Has the message been sent out?"
"It's all ready."
"This battle will reflect the fate of All Heavens. If we fail, the commanders left in each city will carry out the Self-Slaughter Plan, committing mass suicide!"
A Semi-Saint emperor spoke in a grave voice.
His words caused many present to narrow their eyes.
Though they had known about this arrangement beforehand, the reality of it still left them feeling an indescribable sense of shock and sorrow.
"This ancient demon enjoys consuming souls, like a tiger feasting on flesh. Those it consumes are beneficial to itself. If it wants to eat our souls, we will destroy ourselves first, refusing to become its free granary!" a Semi-Saint said, his voice low and deep.
Many Divine Dynasties had faced battles that nearly led to their extinction, but none had been forced to resort to self-slaughter. The current situation with the ancient demon was a testament to the severity of their plight.
"If we succeed and lure the ancient demon into the Double Crevice Demon Valley, they will see it through the Boundary Stone Projection, bringing them hope. Even if All Heavens is severely weakened, the cultivation techniques and treasures we leave behind will allow new strong individuals to rise."
"The ancient demon is approaching. Prepare yourselves!"
Before the Double Crevice Demon Valley, the Demon Slaying Alliance's armies gathered.
What was once the first Forbidden Area, feared by all, had now become their hope for survival. The definitions of good and bad had lost their meaning in this moment.
Through the Boundary Stone Projections, the scenes from the Double Crevice Demon Valley could be seen across All Heavens in various Minor Worlds.
The clouds in the sky transformed into the terrifying sight of the Double Crevice Demon Valley.
Many commoners were witnessing the first Forbidden Area for the first time, the very place that martial artists feared. Besides amazement and shock, they also saw the vast human army gathered outside the Forbidden Area.
Thousands of Semi-Saints stood at the forefront of the army, each a towering figure, and many commoners recognized them as the emperors of their Divine Dynasties. Although they exuded imperial dignity, they were surrounded by many other equally formidable emperors.
"Prepare to fight the ancient demons to the death, emperors of the Divine Dynasties!"
"Can we win this battle?"
In the All Heavens, faces filled with fear and worry tightly watched the scene projected by the Boundary Stone through the clouds.
All of this happened within a few days after Li Hao entered the divine yang. Now, as he stepped out of the divine yang, his first move was to head toward a nearby Minor World to investigate the current situation outside.
As soon as he arrived in the Minor World, Li Hao saw the scene reflected in the sky above.
His pupils dilated in shock. Was that the Double Crevice Demon Valley? The first Forbidden Area?
Seeing the vast armies gathered outside the Forbidden Area, Li Hao's heart trembled, and he felt a mix of icy cold and burning heat coursing through his veins. He instantly understood the purpose of these armies gathering before the Double Crevice Demon Valley.
He had expected to see Minor Worlds turned into hellscapes upon his return, but he never imagined that these Minor Worlds had united to launch a counterattack against the ancient demons!
Using the Forbidden Area to trap and kill ancient demons, such a strategy, using countless sacrifices as bait, was undeniably tragic.
Li Hao's expression darkened. If the saints knew of this, would they feel ashamed?
Whoosh!
Li Hao immediately changed direction, stepping out of the Minor World and moving through the void, heading at full speed toward the Double Crevice Demon Valley.
Before the Double Crevice Demon Valley, the figure of a True Immortal Ancient Demon suddenly appeared, spanning the void.
Its arrival was so sudden that everyone in front of the Forbidden Area was taken aback. They had been told that the ancient demon was still en route, based on the information gathered through human sacrifices.
Seeing the shock on these ants' faces, the True Immortal Ancient Demon sneered inwardly.
In the previous encounters, it had vaguely sensed that the humans seemed to know it was coming, which was highly unreasonable.
After all, its speed covered tens of thousands of miles, far beyond the detection range of these ants. Its arrival should have filled them with shock and terror, just like their current expressions.
Later, it realized that the ants it had devoured along the way had likely used their deaths to transmit some kind of signal. This time, it decided to play along, devouring only half of the bait and then bypassing the scattered lures, arriving directly here.
It wanted to see what tricks these ants were up to!
Upon arrival, the True Immortal Ancient Demon's Soul Spirit awareness enveloped the entire scene. It quickly realized that there were no hidden threats among these ants, and the monster that had escaped from it before was not present. It must have been terrified and gone into hiding, making it difficult to find.
However, it was not in a hurry. Once it cleared out the rest of the world, it would search for the monster. If it couldn't find it, it would take the Immortal Emperor's legacy and let the ancient demon army come in to search.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, the True Immortal Ancient Demon noticed the Prohibited Zones behind the human army.
The Double Crevice Demon Valley was a pair of deep, black fissures, bottomless and emitting a terrifying aura.
The True Immortal Ancient Demon narrowed its eyes and immediately detected the unusual Immortal Dao Laws emanating from within. This was something only an Immortal Lord could condense.
It instantly understood that the humans were trying to use the same trick again.
But this time, it would not fall for it so easily. These humans had underestimated its cunning.
Whoosh!
A black vortex appeared behind it, like a dark moon, emitting a powerful suction force.
At the forefront of the human army, the emperors and Half-Holy Capitals reacted, shocked that the ancient demon had arrived so quickly. They had not yet had the chance to provoke the Double Crevice Demon Valley to unleash its full power.
Now, plans had to be adjusted on the fly, and they had to act quickly.
"Quick, hold it back and activate the Forbidden Area!"
Ancestor Mu and the other Semi-Saints hurriedly issued orders.
The Divine Soul attractive force released by True Immortal Ancient Demon made the Half-Holy Capitals feel as if their Soul Spirits were about to leave their bodies.
They were horrified. In front of this ancient demon, they felt no different from commoners.
"Quick, activate the Military Formation!"
Soon, the Military Formations were activated. Under the enhancement of numerous Military Formations, a grand formation researched by a Military Sage and activated by a Martial School Semi-Saint covered millions of Martial Artists, amplifying their Power.
However, in front of True Immortal Ancient Demon, numbers offered no advantage.
The dark moon's attractive force caused many Fourth Establishment Realm Martial Artists' Divine Souls to leave their bodies and fly out.
Like a snowstorm, once the Divine Souls left their bodies, they seemed uncontrollable, heading straight for the dark moon behind True Immortal Ancient Demon.
Seeing countless Divine Souls continuously flying toward the ancient demon, the Half-Holy Capitals were horrified. The people in the various Minor Worlds of All Heavens, who witnessed this through Realm Stones, also turned pale.
The once formidable and solemn alliance army, now seemed to collapse like snowflakes, offering no resistance!
"No, this can't be..."
Ancestor Mu and the other Semi-Saints were shocked, angry, and desperate. They exerted all their strength, but their own Soul Spirits were gradually leaving their bodies. As for those Fourth Establishment Realm Martial Artists, they lost their combat ability in the blink of an eye.
Is this the power of this ancient demon?
Intimidating an entire realm alone!
In this desperate moment, just as countless Divine Souls were about to be swallowed by the dark moon, True Immortal Ancient Demon suddenly turned around.
A dazzling Sword Light, as if spanning thousands of miles, burst through the air from a distant place!
This light emanated from a broken immortal sword, swiftly piercing through the dark moon and disrupting its Power.
The countless Divine Souls that were out of control in the void immediately broke free and hurriedly returned to their bodies.
"What is this?"
Many Semi-Saints quickly stabilized their Soul Spirits and looked in shock, seeing a crack appear in the void. A figure rapidly emerged from within.
Silver hair, golden eyes, and a body radiating intense golden flames, like an unparalleled warrior god.
The familiar figure was soon recognized by everyone—it was none other than Heavenly Venerated Hao!
"Am I seeing things? I didn't see wrong, did I?"
"Heavenly Venerated Hao, it's Heavenly Venerated Hao!!"
"Are the Sages coming too?"
Upon recognizing Li Hao, the Demon Slaying Alliance members at the Forbidden Area's entrance became excited and began looking around.
At this moment, True Immortal Ancient Demon stared at Li Hao with a gaze that was both furious and cold.
It couldn't believe that he dared to show up again. Hadn't he been terrified the last time?
Given a chance to live, he still dared to challenge death!
However, despite its anger, True Immortal Ancient Demon also assessed its surroundings. The Human Race, combined with the Sages, indeed had the capability to challenge it.
But soon, it realized that it didn't sense any other Sage's aura.
Only the monsters in front of it!
True Immortal Ancient Demon immediately felt relieved. It didn't believe that any Sage-level beings in this realm could hide from its perception.
Roar!
With a low growl, True Immortal Ancient Demon angrily charged at Li Hao.
Li Hao gripped the broken immortal sword that had just flown to him, and his Ultimate Realm Power reached its peak. At the same time, his Ultimate Realm Power was revealed.
In this outer region of the Forbidden Area, where Heaven and Earth Energy was sparse, he had the All Heavens Star Pulse. Using the All Heavens Stars as a medium, he could channel Power directly into his body, allowing him to Cultivate and sustain combat even in a place where Heaven and Earth Energy was forbidden.
"Emulate Heaven and Earth!"
With a series of cracking sounds, Li Hao's body swelled, transforming him into a colossal silver-haired deity, radiating an overwhelming aura.
"Everyone, fall back! Don't die in vain here!"
At the same time, Li Hao's voice echoed telepathically in everyone's ears, carrying an irresistible authority.
Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Ancestor Mu and the other Semi-Saints hesitated, but seeing Li Hao's rapidly expanding form and the intimidating aura he emitted, they were stunned into silence. They quickly mobilized their troops and retreated to the other side of the Forbidden Area, avoiding the risk of hindering Li Hao.
As the Demon Slaying Alliance withdrew, Li Hao's focus was entirely on the True Immortal Ancient Demon before him.
Seeing the demon charge at him, Li Hao immediately summoned the two dull, broken immortal swords he had used to slash at it earlier, charging forward swiftly.
Seeing Li Hao use the same move again, the True Immortal Ancient Demon sneered. It had already found a way to avoid the attack and chose to clash head-on with Li Hao.
The two broken immortal swords instantly cut through the demon's body, leaving a few dozen tiny gaps, as if merely scratching it.
But the Fatal Attribute triggered.
At the same moment, the True Immortal Ancient Demon's claw slammed down on Li Hao's head, its immense power blocking the Great Dao and piercing through Li Hao's Eternal Dao Domain.
Li Hao roared, and the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image emerged behind him, surrounded by the dharma images of numerous saints. As he raised his arm, the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image fused with his physical body, and its power roared like the cries of dragons and tigers, shaking the entire void.
With a loud thud, Li Hao and the True Immortal Ancient Demon each stumbled backward. However, Li Hao's arm was now covered in bloody scars.
The impact of their clash reverberated for thousands of miles, causing the Fourth Establishment Realm beings in the retreating Demon Slaying Army to feel an invisible shockwave. Their blood and qi churned, and they spat out blood.
Many Semi-Saints were stunned. Was this what it meant when the immortals fought, and the mortals suffered?
It was too extreme. Just the shockwave, despite being separated by thousands of miles, could make Fourth Establishment Realm beings cough up blood. If they hadn't retreated, they would likely have been knocked unconscious on the spot.
At this moment, the Fatal Attribute's lethal power caused the True Immortal Ancient Demon to rapidly split its body, separating the part targeted by the lethal force.
The remaining parts quickly merged, and now it didn't need to completely self-destruct to avoid the attack.
The split also gave Li Hao time. A broken immortal sword appeared beside him, its blade still sharp.
Li Hao's eyes were cold as he fixed his gaze on the ancient demon. Scenes from his previous analyses of ancient demons on the ancient path flashed through his mind. His Soul Spirit condensed to its ultimate form, burning with a golden vein, and his Object Control Power reached its peak.
At the same time, Flight and other attributes were activated by Li Hao.
My Will Alone... Break!
Li Hao suddenly erupted, the broken immortal sword transforming into a beam of light, instantly piercing through the True Immortal Ancient Demon's body. It then moved at an unimaginable speed, rapidly slicing through its insides.
Previously, the broken immortal sword and Li Hao's Soul Spirit power had been unable to instantly destroy the True Immortal Ancient Demon's body. But now, with the Tenth Rank Sword Dao's Sword Intent condensed, the broken immortal sword seemed to be newly sharpened, becoming extremely sharp. In just a moment, it had traversed the entire body of the True Immortal Ancient Demon.
From the outside, it seemed to happen in an instant!
With a spray of blood, the True Immortal Ancient Demon's body suddenly trembled, and an overwhelmingly bright light erupted from within. A brilliant sword beam shot into the sky.
In an instant, the True Immortal Ancient Demon's body was completely destroyed.
Physical Body Killed!
