Chapter 422: Crimson Tassel Immortal Lord
Chapter 422: Crimson Tassel Immortal Lord
"That ancient demon is dead too!"
"Finally, that ancient demon was at the True Immortal stage. I never thought that Venerated Hao could actually..."
"There's no soul fluctuation in the ancient demon's physical body; it's truly dead!"
"Venerated Hao and the True Immortal ancient demon perished together. We are saved..."
"Venerated Hao is a benefactor of All Heavens. Let us remember him forever."
The battle was over, and countless people embraced and wept. Winning this battle had been incredibly hard and arduous.
"Take Venerated Hao's physical body back and preserve it carefully. It must not be damaged in any way."
"We need to find a way to pulverize and scatter the ancient demon's physical body to ensure complete annihilation. We can't let it rise again."
Despite the ancient demon's body being nothing more than a motionless corpse, many still felt a lingering fear and tension as they approached its iron-like form.
As the army dragged the ancient demon's corpse away, Li Hao's physical body was also carefully protected by several Semi-Saints using a barrier. They held a deep respect for the young man who lay there, eyes closed in peaceful repose.
"The True Immortal ancient demon has fallen. We must report this news to the Sage."
"All Heavens is saved."
Many leaders among the crowd thought to themselves.
Though they appeared to be the heads of various organizations, they were all ultimately controlled by the Sages. They had received word from the Sages long ago that this calamity was unavoidable, and that only the Sages could handle a True Immortal ancient demon. They had been waiting for the right opportunity.
But now, the True Immortal ancient demon that had caused the Sages to seek refuge had been slain by Venerated Hao, who perished in the process. If the Sages learned of this, they would likely return.
However, they had no way to contact the Sages directly and did not know where they had taken refuge. They could only wait for the Sages to make contact.
In the void, many chose to stay voluntarily to guard the Forbidden Area.
Though Venerated Hao and the ancient demon's soul had been consumed by the Forbidden Area, one was a combatant surpassing the Supreme Sage level, and the other was a True Immortal. There was a chance the Forbidden Area might not have destroyed them. Regardless, someone needed to watch over the area in case anything changed.
As the battle ended, peace returned to the various Minor Worlds of All Heavens.
Meanwhile.
In the divine yang, the Sages gathered together.
Since Li Hao had stepped out of the divine yang, they had been calculating the time.
"It's been two hours. Quick, check the situation outside."
Feng Boping urged impatiently.
Beside him, Li Muxiu, Li Yuanzhao, and others watched the Dark Saint anxiously. Though their realms did not typically grant them access to the Sages' council, their identities earned them respect and kindness.
"If Venerated Hao won, the various Minor Worlds would certainly be peaceful."
Mitian Sage said softly.
Dark Saint nodded slightly, understanding his meaning. He glanced at the other Sages, who all wore concerned expressions, and immediately brought out the Sky Reflecting Mirror.
This mirror could not track the ancient demon, but it could reflect the scene of a location based on coordinates.
He shone the mirror on the previous Minor World and saw only a desolate, lifeless scene.
The Sages' faces darkened. That Minor World had been completely extinguished.
Feng Boping and the others clenched their fists, their expressions turning grim.
Dark Saint's eyes grew somber, his thoughts racing. He immediately chose another Minor World, knowing that if the disaster had been averted, it would be evident here.
He selected Tianyuan Minor World.
As the premier Minor World of All Heavens, it was renowned for its rich sacred veins and abundant Heaven and Earth Energy, drawing countless people. At that moment, within this Minor World, the cities were filled with jubilant figures.
Seeing the countless excited faces reflected, the people of the Holy Capital were stunned, their pupils contracting in shock and delight.
Feng Boping and the others were also taken aback, followed by a surge of wild joy as if their blood was rushing through their veins.
The Dark Saint used the Sky Reflecting Mirror to shine on other Minor Worlds, finding the same scenario.
"Could it be, it's really solved?"
The Dark Saint found it hard to believe, as if it were a dream.
Just a saint-level Heavenly Venerated Hao had actually gone out and killed those True Immortal Realm ancient demons!
He continued to reflect the mirror on seven or eight Minor Worlds, finding the same situation. Although some worlds had already faced disasters, the countless residents all wore joyful expressions.
"I'll go outside and check. I have a way to immediately know the situation outside."
The Fame Saint immediately said.
None of the others tried to stop him, and Feng Boping, without a word, flew out of the divine yang.
It didn't take long for them to confirm the news: the ancient demons were truly dead!
However, Heavenly Venerated Hao was also dead!
They had perished together!
Upon learning this, Feng Boping's mind was shaken, and he rushed madly toward the Double Crevice Demon Valley.
The people inside the Immortal Deity Relic, upon receiving the news from the Fame Saint, fell into silence, unsure whether to rejoice or grieve.
Other Sages gradually flew out of the divine yang, using their own resources to verify the situation, which matched what the Fame Saint had said.
Subsequently, the Sages left the Holy Land and the immortal island in the divine yang, and they all hurried to the Double Crevice Demon Valley.
When the Sages appeared, the dozens of Semi-Saints guarding the Double Crevice Demon Valley were stunned, then hurriedly bowed.
There, the Sages saw Feng Boping, who had arrived earlier but was sitting in a daze.
"Tell us in detail what happened."
The Fame Saint, spotting his disciple in the crowd, immediately called him over to ask.
Seeing his Master, the disciple quickly bowed and recounted the events in detail.
As if prepared, he raised his hand and projected the scene he had witnessed.
They had formed an alliance and fought back, with Li Hao engaging the True Immortal Ancient Demon in a final battle.
Watching the projection of Li Hao and the ancient demons' battle, the Holy Capital was stunned. Li Hao had appeared and, with a single sword strike, killed the ancient demon's physical body and forced out its soul spirit.
How could he be so strong?
But then, they saw Li Hao burn his soul spirit, fiercely battling the ancient demon, and ultimately falling into the Double Crevice Demon Valley, being completely swallowed.
"Hao Tian..."
Lin Qingying, her face pale, trembled slightly as the projection ended.
"Hao Ge!"
Li Yuanzhao, his eyes filled with sorrow, clenched his fists.
The Li Family members, who had also come, were all shocked into silence.
They never imagined that the young man who had emerged from the Li Family could shine so brilliantly in All Heavens.
But now, like a brilliant meteor, after radiating a dazzling light, he had fallen rapidly.
"He..."
In the crowd, Li Pingan's face turned white. The figure in the projection, the one whose shadow he had chased since childhood, was actually dead?
He had once hated and resented him, but at this moment, he felt a hollow, aimless emptiness in his heart.
He had never seen many of the legends about him firsthand, but this time, he had witnessed it with his own eyes.
When all the supreme Sages had retreated in despair, that figure had saved everything.
It was as if he had saved Dayu, and no wonder, a century later, Dayu still celebrated his fame... It was worth it.
"He can't be dead, I don't believe it!"
Ji Xuanshen and the others stared intently at the projection. Although they had known Li Hao when he was already extremely brilliant, he had survived a Sage ambush and kill when he first came to All Heavens. How could he die now? They couldn't believe it, couldn't accept it. If a miracle could happen once, why not again?
But despite their thoughts, their hearts felt uncontrollably sad and sorrowful.
Perhaps the Double Crevice Demon Valley couldn't kill someone who could contend with a True Immortal, as this Forbidden Area had once swallowed the strongest being, the Supreme Sage.
But so much time had passed, and if he hadn't died, why hadn't he returned? This seemed to be the answer...
Swoosh!
In the distance, Feng Boping's figure vanished.
Sword Master noticed and his heart raced. He quickly followed and disappeared as well.
At this moment, the other Sages regained their composure. Fame Saint asked, "What about the ancient demons and Heavenly Venerated Hao's Physical Body?"
"They have been transported back."
The Semi-Saint replied truthfully.
Fame Saint was about to suggest they go and check when Law Saint suddenly spoke up, his voice grave. "Since this True Immortal realm ancient demon was killed by Heavenly Venerated Hao, shouldn't we head to the Immortal Gate immediately to seal the gap? We can't let any more ancient demons get through!"
Hearing his words, the Sages were suddenly jolted awake.
Yes, the True Immortal ancient demon was killed, but the gap still existed, and the crisis of All Heavens was far from over!
However, now that they knew a True Immortal ancient demon could disguise itself as a second-stage ancient demon and infiltrate, they must be even more vigilant. They needed to kill every second-stage ancient demon that entered, not giving it a chance to reveal its true form.
"Let's go!"
"We need to hurry!"
Fame Saint, coming to his senses, urged them urgently.
The other Sages also grew tense. Li Hao's previous warning had saved All Heavens once. Now, his sacrifice in taking down the True Immortal ancient demon had saved them again. If another True Immortal ancient demon infiltrated, the two chances he had given them would be for nothing.
Swoosh!
The Sages rushed toward the Ancient Hall.
Dark Saint lingered for a moment, a look of confusion on his face. If the ancient demons had been invading at the same frequency as before, All Heavens should have fallen long ago. Even without the True Immortal ancient demon, third-stage ancient demons alone should have been enough to crush the Minor Worlds. But there were no signs of those third-stage ancient demons.
Could they all have been slain by Heavenly Venerated Hao?
He couldn't figure it out but quickly followed the others.
This time, Mitian Sage, Medicine Sage, and the others also headed to the Ancient Hall, ready to do their part.
When the Holy Capital Sages arrived at the Ancient Hall, they heard the sounds of battle as soon as they entered.
They were surprised. Who was fighting here?
As they rushed inside, they were shocked to find the Ancient Hall littered with the bodies of ancient demons—over thirty in total!
The bodies were scattered around, and at that moment, a dozen humans in silver armor were surrounding and attacking two ancient demons. One was large and the other small, both covered in scars and struggling with all their might. However, under their tacit and coordinated efforts, the ancient demons were constantly injured. In contrast, the silver-armored humans were extremely cautious and barely suffered any wounds themselves.
Noticing the Sages, the dozen silver-armored humans were startled. Upon recognizing their fellow humans, they relaxed slightly. One of the commanders waved, and the silver-armored humans increased their speed. They quickly dispatched both ancient demons, with one of them sustaining a minor injury due to his aggressive approach.
"You..."
Fame Saint and the others looked at the silver-armored humans, their eyes shifting from shock to bewilderment, and then to a mixture of excitement and joy.
They immediately recognized that the armor of these silver-armored humans was not of All Heavens' making. Given their presence here, there was only one possibility: they were the True World Immortal Army that Heavenly Venerated Hao had spoken of!
Reinforcements had arrived!
Mitian Sage and Medicine Sage were both delighted, but their expressions quickly turned complex. The reinforcements had arrived, but it seemed a bit too late. They had waited for the aid, but Heavenly Venerated Hao had not.
That brilliant young man was no longer there to wait.
The dozen silver-armored humans exchanged glances, their eyes widening in surprise at the number of Sages in this pseudo-realm. Could this world have a True Immortal?
At that moment, the commander stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the Sages. Confirming that the few Supreme Sages were the leaders, he used Divine Sense Telepathy to communicate:
"We come from the True World Heavenly Palace, under the command of the Crimson Tassel Immortal Lord's 'Silver Tassel Camp'! The Immortal Lord has slain the Ancient Demon Commander to rescue you. We received intelligence that the Ancient Demon Commander sent a True Immortal realm ancient demon here. Where is it now?"
"True World? Heavenly Palace!"
"Silver Tassel Camp?"
Law Saint and the other Supreme Sages were all somewhat excited upon hearing the telepathic message, their eyes brightening.
They had risked everything to reach the Immortal Gate, hoping to join the Immortal Deity forces and cultivate into true Immortal Deities.
They never thought that their wait would finally be over.
They did not know the realm of the Immortal Lord, but the dozen or so saint-level individuals before them were all Supreme Sages! To be able to use Supreme Sages as soldiers, the Immortal Lord must be an extremely formidable existence.
"Reporting to the seniors, the True Immortal realm ancient demon has already been killed."
Fame Saint spoke humbly, clasping his hands.
The silver-armored commander was slightly taken aback, thinking it was indeed so, and smiled. "There is actually a True Immortal in this world. Could you introduce us? We are here on the Immortal Lord's orders to escort the Emperor Immortal Bloodline. The situation outside is complex, and the Immortal Lord cannot stay for long. We need your assistance to proceed quickly."
"Emperor Immortal Bloodline?"
Mitian Sage's eyes flickered. He was almost from the same era as the Primordial Ancestor, though slightly younger. He knew many ancient secrets and had not expected the Immortal Lord to be here to escort the Emperor Immortal Bloodline. Could it be that the Immortal Deity of this world was the Immortal Emperor mentioned by the Immortal Lord?
At this thought, he couldn't help but think of the Primordial Ancestor, his eyes flashing. Unfortunately, that old man was already dead and had not lived to see this opportunity.
Fame Saint and the others, upon hearing the telepathic message, noticed the phrase "cannot stay for long" and felt a sense of urgency.
"Seniors, we are unaware of the Emperor Immortal Bloodline. There are no True Immortals in this world. The one who killed the True Immortal realm ancient demon was our Sage Heavenly Venerated Hao. He and the ancient demon perished together."
Yin and Yang Sage telepathically, his tone slightly ingratiating, said, "Seniors, could you introduce me to the Immortal Lord? I am willing to serve and follow the Immortal Lord!"
The silver-helmeted commander was taken aback by his words but then said, "Friend, don't jest. That's a True Immortal. It's impossible for a saint-level individual to kill one. Unless he possesses an Immortal Emperor's relic?"
Yin and Yang Sage, seeing that his request for introduction was ignored, had to explain in a low voice:
"The situation with that saint-level individual is a bit complicated. He doesn't have an Immortal Emperor's relic. It's just... himself."
He suddenly felt the difficulty in explaining this. They could only believe it because they had seen it with their own eyes. Without seeing it, it would seem bizarre.
"It's just... he's too monstrous."
After some deliberation, Yin and Yang Sage said with a bitter smile.
The silver-helmeted commander raised an eyebrow. What kind of explanation was that? Monstrous? No matter how monstrous a saint-level individual is, it's impossible for them to kill a True Immortal. Just the immortal seal alone is beyond the reach of a saint-level's Heaven and Earth Energy. Unless he has an Immortal Artifact. Could it be that this person is the Emperor Immortal Bloodline mentioned by the Immortal Lord?
His heart sank. So it seemed they had arrived too late.
"Are you the strongest beings in this world?"
The silver-helmeted commander looked around. Although they were only a dozen, facing over three hundred Sages, they showed no fear, instead, they seemed to look down on them.
Fame Saint nodded, "Yes, the True Immortal realm ancient demon's intrusion has left only us."
The silver-helmeted commander's eyes flickered. This time, he directly used his Divine Sense to change his True World language, saying:
"Do any of you have the Emperor Immortal Bloodline? If so, you may accompany me to the True World, where the Immortal Lord will recommend you to join the Heavenly Palace. If your Talent is outstanding, you will receive cultivation under the Heavenly Palace, learning Immortal Dao Cultivation Techniques that you would never have the chance to encounter in your entire lives. Your future prospects will be boundless!"
Upon hearing his words, the Holy Capital residents exchanged glances.
Emperor Immortal Bloodline? They had never heard of it.
Mitian Sage's eyes flickered as he looked at one of his Disciples. The Disciple's ancestors were Immortal Deities, but after generations of intermarriage and branching out, it was uncertain if they still counted as Immortal Deity bloodline.
He had taken the Disciple in initially because of this very reason.
"How do we check for the Emperor Immortal Bloodline?" Mitian Sage asked.
The silver-helmeted general glanced at him and replied, "That's a good question. If you have the Emperor Immortal Bloodline, even if it is extremely diluted, there will be a faint trace of Immortal Power hidden in your blood. The Immortal Lord can easily detect this, so don't lie and cause trouble. If you don't have the imperial blood, even if you go to the True World, you are destined for mediocrity. It would be better to stay here and live as a Sage."
Mitian Sage, upon hearing this, immediately called his Disciple forward, saying:
"Yuan Qing, go and try."
A First Calamity Sage was taken aback, not expecting his Master to call on him, but he seemed to understand and nodded, stepping forward.
Fame Saint and Yin and Yang Sage looked at Mitian Sage in surprise. Seeing his calm demeanor, they seemed to grasp the situation. Yin and Yang Sage immediately said to the silver-helmeted general:
"Senior, when we were born, there were no Immortal Deities in the world. They have been extinct for too long, and we don't know if we carry any Immortal Deity bloodline. Could we also be tested?"
"That's right, we have never seen an Immortal Deity, nor have we heard of anyone who has."
The other Sages quickly chimed in, echoing their sentiments.
The silver-helmeted general frowned, sensing the thoughts of these saint-level beings. But since all of them were saying the same thing, it might be true. He considered for a moment and said, "Very well, then all of you come with me to be tested."
With that, he opened his Heavenly Earth Space.
Fame Saint and the others were somewhat excited, thinking that those who survive great calamities are bound to have good fortune. They never expected to encounter such a divine opportunity.
They secretly resolved that once they met the Immortal Lord, regardless of whether they had the Emperor Immortal Bloodline, they would beg to be taken in. This was a chance for a transformative leap towards immortality.
In the crowd, Mitian Sage did not step into the other's Heavenly Earth Space. He knew he did not have the Emperor Immortal Bloodline. Although this was an opportunity to leave All Heavens, he was not particularly enthusiastic about becoming an Immortal Deity. Instead, he wanted to stay in this world and see more. After all, his time was still far off.
The silver-helmeted general looked at Mitian Sage with a puzzled expression, but seeing that he did not wish to go, he did not force him. He then turned and traversed the Immortal Gategap, heading outside the Immortal Gate.
Outside the Mysterious Mother Gate.
The ground was strewn with the corpses of ancient demons. Red Tassel Spear Woman stood on a strange rock, the fierce wind from the canyon blowing against her.
Her black hair fluttered behind her helmet, and her eyes were cold.
"This Ancient Demon Commander's corpse can count for ten thousand immortal merits."
Beside her, a silver-armored young man with a sword chuckled.
Red Tassel Spear Woman ignored him and remained silent.
Suddenly, a ripple came from behind the gate.
She turned her head and saw several warriors from the Silver Tassel Camp emerge.
They were all of the same realm, and three of them working together could easily slay a second-tier ancient demon of the same realm.
"Did the Ninth Rank Immortal Treasure, the Piercing Immortal Needle, help you deal with that True Immortal Ancient Demon?"
Red Tassel Spear Woman stared at the silver-helmeted general.
The silver-helmeted general quickly knelt on one knee and reported, informing her of the situation inside. He then opened his Heavenly Earth Space to let the Sages out.
The Sages, seeing the numerous silver-helmeted soldiers around them, all emitting saint-level auras, couldn't help but feel a sense of their own insignificance.
In All Heavens, they were supreme beings, but here, they seemed like mere pawns.
Before them, the woman holding the red-tasseled spear had a scornful and cold gaze, as if the sun and moon were condensed in her eyes, exuding an awe-inspiring presence.
The saints were alarmed, feeling a strange tremor in their hearts. They felt more terrified than facing the True Immortal Ancient Demon, a sensation that made their scalps tingle.
"Hmm?"
The Red Tassel Spear Woman's expression changed when she heard her subordinate's words. The Emperor Immortal Bloodline was dead?
Had they come too late?
"Speak, what happened?"
The Red Tassel Spear Woman immediately turned to the gathered saints, her face cold. "How did he die? Was there a Projection?"
"Yes, yes", the Fame Saint's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly responded, projecting the scene he had seen.
The other saints also understood that the Red Tassel Spear Woman seemed to be here for Heavenly Venerated Hao. According to what they had heard, Heavenly Venerated Hao possessed an Emperor Immortal Bloodline?
As the Projection emerged, everyone saw the battle between the ancient demons and the young man.
The silver-helmeted general, seeing the young man appear and slay the True Immortal Ancient Demon with a single sword strike, was stunned. He hadn't expected the young man's words to be true. What kind of immortal sword was that?
He scrutinized the sword closely and realized it was damaged and rusted, seemingly having lost its Immortal Power, leaving only its sharp blade.
"Saint level, battling True Immortal realm ancient demons?"
Beside him, the silver-armored young man with a sword, seeing the Projection, was also stunned, his eyes widening in surprise.
On their way here, Red Tassel had mentioned that the Emperor Immortal Bloodline was extremely monstrous, and he had found it hard to believe. But the scene before him surpassed his imagination.
Even someone who had condensed a Heavenly Dao Mixed Infant wouldn't have such combat power, right?
After all, the gap between the Saint level and the True Immortal realm was no less than the leap from Force Mastery to Supreme Sage!
The Projection ended with the young man and the ancient demons' Soul Spirits being swallowed by the Forbidden Area.
The Red Tassel Spear Woman's expression flickered, becoming even colder. "So you judge them dead based on this?"
"Reporting to our senior, that is the most dangerous Forbidden Area. Once someone enters, they never return. Even Supreme Sages have vanished there. Although they are more powerful than Supreme Sages, they haven't reappeared, so..."
The Yin and Yang Sage hurriedly responded, trying to curry favor and leave an impression.
The Red Tassel Spear Woman was silent. She could see that the Forbidden Area in the Projection seemed perilous, but it was just a Projection, providing limited information.
"It seems we've come too late. What a pity."
The silver-armored young man with a sword couldn't help but sigh. "To be able to condense a Heavenly Dao Mixed Infant, and for his Soul Spirit to cultivate Divine Bones in such large numbers, such a monster, in the Heavenly Palace or any other faction, would be carefully nurtured. They wouldn't let him take such risks. Now he's dead."
"Let's go. We need to leave here quickly, or the Kuijiao Ancient Demon King will come, and we'll be in danger."
He said.
The Red Tassel Spear Woman turned to look at him, saying, "Give me some time, half an hour, and I'll go inside to check."
Hearing her words, the silver-armored young man's face changed, his shock and anger evident. "That's too risky. The Dao Sect's power hasn't fully dissipated. If you want to enter, you'll need to take the Ultimate Immortal Pill, which will damage your cultivation. Is it worth it?"
"You've seen how formidable the other party is. A Saint level cultivator forcing a True Immortal realm ancient demon to such a state. Even if there's only a one percent chance he's still alive, he will surely achieve great perfection in the future. In these times of need, the loss of such a genius would be a great pity, wouldn't you agree?" the Red Tassel Spear Woman said gravely.
