Chapter 479: Subverting the Three Thousand Realms, Coveting the Grand Sun Throne, His Crime Deserves

Chapter 479: Subverting the Three Thousand Realms, Coveting the Grand Sun Throne, His Crime Deserves Punishment!

The stars shone brilliantly, forming a dazzling display, but one could still discern that they were over four thousand rays of light.

These rays pierced through the clouds, illuminating the Star Realm with their brilliance.

This spectacle was bizarre and magnificent, attracting the attention of everyone in the Six Heavens.

In the boundless wonderland, an elderly man sat atop a turtle shell, his body enveloped in a sea of starlight that was too intense to look at directly.

At this moment, he gazed at the direction of Ziyuan Heaven, his beard quivering: "What is this?"

In the Ultimate Principle Council, the Second Chamberlain opened his eyes, and his gaze seemed to penetrate countless dimensions. Even his usually unchanging, icy expression revealed a hint of astonishment.

"Four thousand Yang Deities in one body? No, he cultivated four thousand Yang Deity paths? That's not right either!"

Amidst his astonishment, a strong doubt lingered.

In the Azure Sky, the old woman's gourd on her head opened wide, devouring countless stars. Suddenly, her hand trembled: "Has the Immortal Dao Will gone blind?"

What she witnessed in the distant direction exceeded her imagination and understanding.

Inside Taohuang Palace, True Essence Venerable's face showed a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

"This... what is this?"

The surrounding Yang Deities were speechless. If not for their respect for his status and power, they would have surely asked, "True Essence Venerable, aren't you the deputy leader of the Heaven Touring Divine Realms? Shouldn't you be the one asking us?"

"The location of Ziyuan Heaven, it shouldn't be Ziyuan Ancestor, unless..." Great Sun Heavenly Sovereign narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.

At that moment, True Essence Venerable directed his gaze towards the Star Realm.

Suddenly, he squinted his eyes: "This is a Yang Deity of the Mara Clan, and also... Ten Sun Venerable!"

"What?"

The other Yang Deities in Taohuang Palace heard this, and their expressions turned solemn.

In an instant, they grasped the situation.

Could it be that Ten Sun Venerable secretly went to the Mara Clan and subdued them? Wait... Flame Emperor, could it be...

A startling thought flashed through the minds of the Yang Deities.

Could it be that Flame Emperor is actually a disguise of Ten Sun Venerable?

"No, why are there over four thousand Yang Deities? Apart from the First Heaven and the Sixth Heaven, the number of Yang Deities here is more than in the other Heavens!" One of the Yang Deity Venerables expressed his confusion.

The other Yang Deities were equally perplexed.

Meanwhile, in Ziyuan Heaven, countless Yang Deity Venerables' gazes pierced through space and time, landing on Qi Yuan.

At this moment, Qi Yuan's black robe was riddled with holes, and starlight was leaking out, impossible to contain.

Initially, Qi Yuan thought that even if he emitted light, he could block it with his black robe.

But unexpectedly, every Divine Infant was emitting light, and not only that, the Mara Clan in the Netherworld was also glowing.

Ice Sword looked at Qi Yuan with a puzzled expression.

An Xunlu, Ziyuan Daxue, and Zi Yuan Xiaolu, among others, also opened their eyes at this moment. Previously, they had been like characters in a game, frozen in place, but now their gazes were naturally drawn to the endless radiance.

Shock, astonishment, confusion, bewilderment, and perplexity...

These emotions played out on their faces.

As for the faint starlight on Ice Sword's body, it had long been merged with the vast sea of starlight.

"Why am I glowing? Could it be that I'm a hidden Yang Deity?" Ziyuan Daxue was bewildered.

With her lower cultivation, she couldn't perceive the source of the light like a Yang Deity.

An Xunlu stared intently at Qi Yuan, gritting her teeth. "Didn't Ice Sword say that there were thousands of light bulbs hidden in the Blood Robe?"

Light bulbs, a technological creation, were also present in the Dark Abyss, but they were not common. They were mostly used by mortals or as toys for certain cultivators.

"Light bulbs?"

The gazes of the Heavenly Pride naturally fell on Qi Yuan, and for a moment, they were all perplexed.

"Ahem, my clothes are leaking light. Don't look, or I'll be exposed!"

Qi Yuan tried to cover the holes in his black robe with his hands, but the light couldn't be contained, and countless rays continued to spill out.

He wasn't exposed, but the light was.

At this moment, one of the Heavenly Pride spoke up: "No, look at the Universe Governance Map quickly. This is... a Yang Deity anomaly!"

The Heavenly Pride in the room turned their attention to the Universe Governance Map, and their faces showed shock.

Their gazes suddenly shifted to Qi Yuan, and their expressions varied, with the most common being shock, apprehension, and confusion.

Ziyuan Daxue rubbed her head, her expression contorted: "I feel like my brain isn't enough. What's going on with the Blood Robe?"

"Blood Robe, have you stepped into the Yang Deity realm? No, a Yang Deity only has one ray of light. Why do you have so many?"

"Am I seeing things, or am I not fully awake?"

At this moment, in Ziyuan Heaven, the gazes of numerous Yang Deities fell upon Qi Yuan, and their eyes held bewilderment.

Ziyuan Ancestor was also shocked, and his expression revealed confusion.

Today's events had exceeded his expectations, or perhaps his imagination.

Just then, Moon Radiance Venerable spoke up, her face showing a mix of emotions: "Qi Yuan, I didn't expect you to hide so deeply. Not only have you comprehended two Supreme Ultimate Principles, but you also have so much starlight. It's truly bizarre."

By now, Taohuang Palace had likely already identified Qi Yuan's identity through the stellar projection and reflection from the Star Realm.

Therefore, there was no need for Ziyuan Ancestor to conceal Qi Yuan's identity any longer.

"What? Two Supreme Ultimate Principles? Is he... Flame Emperor?"

The surrounding Yang Deity Venerables were all shocked upon hearing this.

Ziyuan Ancestor was stunned for a moment, then burst into joy.

In fact, the one who was the happiest was Zi Yuan Xiaolu. She looked at An Xunlu and exclaimed with delight: "Look, Blood Robe Senior Brother has comprehended two Supreme Ultimate Principles, one more than Black Sword Senior Brother!"

As Ziyuan Daxue watched Qi Yuan, the doubts in her heart were also resolved at this moment.

No wonder when she had received the Blood Robe from Flame Emperor Heavenly Sovereign, and no wonder the Blood Robe had been able to meet Moon Radiance Venerable.

It turned out that Flame Emperor was one of the identities disguised by the Blood Robe.

Suddenly, her face turned slightly embarrassed.

When Flame Emperor had comprehended the Supreme Ultimate Principle at the Ultimate Principle Wall, she had mocked his ugly appearance.

Didn't that mean that the Blood Robe had heard all of it?

"Ahem... comprehending two Supreme Ultimate Principles is not a big deal. It's quite ordinary."

"Qi Yuan humbly replied.

After all, comprehending two Supreme Ultimate Principles out of four isn't much to boast about."

As soon as these words left his mouth, the Yang Deities and Celestial Prodigies present all had a sense of disbelief.

If they lived on the Blue Planet, they would surely call it 'Blood Robe Versailles'.

Only Zi Yuan Xiaolu had an excited and agitated expression, glancing at An Xunlu, "Look, Blood Robe Senior Apprentice is not only powerful but also humble, far surpassing Black Sword Senior Apprentice. He's the number one Celestial Prodigy of the Dark Demon Abyss!"

The Yang Deities of Zi Yuan Heaven still had ripples of emotions that hadn't dissipated.

Indeed, the news they received today was too explosive.

"However, the thousands of starlight on your body... It's truly bizarre. Could it be that you have thousands of Yang Deities within your body?" Moon Radiance Venerable hesitated.

This was also the confusion of all the Yang Deities and Celestial Prodigies present.

If one Yang Deity had another Yang Deity within them, that would be easier to understand.

But having thousands of Yang Deities, what kind of situation is this?

Moreover, as they stared at Qi Yuan, they didn't detect the presence of any other Yang Deities within him.

Even Ziyuan Ancestor and Moon Radiance Venerable, with their Great Supreme Principle cultivation, couldn't see it either.

At this moment, Jingli tightened her grip on Qi Yuan's hand, her small hand feeling a bit cold. She seemed to be worrying about something.

Qi Yuan glanced at Jingli's exquisite beauty and gave her a reassuring look. He continued, "Sigh, I actually don't have any Yang Deities within me. If I did, it would only be Divine Infants.

But, I have quite a few Divine Infants, and they... can also cultivate."

Qi Yuan was naturally sincere to those who treated him well.

Having many Divine Infants wasn't a disease, so there was no need to hide it.

"Divine Infants?"

"Self-cultivation?"

"Could it be cultivation to the Yang Deity realm?"

"This..."

Zi Yuan Heaven's Yang Deity Venerable was astonished, feeling like his brain couldn't keep up.

Even Ziyuan Ancestor, who had always believed in Qi Yuan, had a baffled expression.

"Are you saying... that the starlight on your body is emitted by your Divine Infants?" Ziyuan Ancestor asked with hesitation.

Does this make sense?

It doesn't make sense at all.

"Yes," Qi Yuan nodded seriously.

As his voice fell, all the starlight on his body also disappeared at this moment.

Zi Yuan Heaven returned to its original appearance.

This also meant that the Heaven Touring Divine Realms had come to an end.

Countless gazes fell upon Qi Yuan, but they couldn't accept his explanation for the time being.

After all, it was too far-fetched and unreasonable.

Having one more Divine Infant was one thing, but having thousands of them, and these Divine Infants could cultivate—such a thing had never been heard of!

Ziyuan Ancestor looked at Qi Yuan, gradually calming down.

After all, such a significant event happening to Zi Yuan Heaven was enough to impact the situation in the Dark Demon Abyss, and might even affect Lin Ya Transformation.

"Regardless, Blood Robe, now that you've comprehended two Supreme Ultimate Principles, the Great Sun Palace will surely take notice. You must be cautious and vigilant before you've fully grown!" Ziyuan Ancestor said with both joy and apprehension.

He was joyful because Blood Robe's growth had exceeded his expectations.

Not only had Blood Robe secretly stepped into the Yang Deity realm, but he also possessed two Supreme Ultimate Principles, not to mention the more than four thousand dazzling starlights. A single one of them was enough to suppress... the First Heaven.

He was apprehensive because Blood Robe's display of such talent would naturally attract the attention of various major powers, especially the Great Sun Palace.

Would the Great Sun Palace just watch as Blood Robe grew stronger?

Qi Yuan nodded. "Old man, rest assured. I have a Super Grand Plan."

A flash of sharpness passed through Qi Yuan's eyes.

He naturally understood that once his strength was exposed, he would face certain consequences.

He had already prepared a plan.

Not far away, Zi Yuan Xiaolu, upon hearing the word 'plan', blinked her eyes, her face full of admiration.

In contrast, Ice Sword let out a sigh of lament.

Originally, with so many young Celestial Prodigies present and the Heaven Touring Divine Realms taking place, this was the best opportunity for him to make a name for himself.

Unfortunately, his starlight was too dim, completely overshadowed by Blood Robe's brilliance.

Now, everyone's attention was on Blood Robe, and no one paid him any mind.

"You Zi Yuan Heaven, have given birth to a true Celestial Prodigy."

Just then, a loud and cheerful voice sounded.

An old man in a gray robe appeared, staring intently at Qi Yuan with fiery eyes.

The one who came was the third elder of the Dark Demon Abyss.

With the third elder's arrival, the other elders of the Dark Demon Abyss also appeared, including... Black Sword.

Black Sword looked at Qi Yuan with a calm expression, his face showing little emotion.

Seeing these Great Supreme Principle cultivators, Ziyuan Ancestor felt refreshed.

His spirits were lifted, and he felt proud.

"Old Three, didn't I say that Blood Robe's talent is no weaker than anyone else?" Ziyuan Ancestor asked with raised eyebrows.

The third elder and the other Great Supreme Principle cultivators looked at Qi Yuan with complex expressions.

"No wonder the Moon Goddess Palace is willing to marry the Moon Maiden to Blood Robe. With such talent, even I would be willing to marry him!" An old woman said.

At this moment, the one who had been silent spoke up, "From this day forward, in the Dark Demon Abyss, Blood Robe shall enjoy... Great Supreme Principle treatment!"

Earlier, the battle between the Emperor Palace Envoy and the Banner Master had led to many decisions being made in the Dark Demon Abyss.

First, the Dark Demon Abyss would be closed; second, Black Sword would temporarily take over as the Abyss Master, leading the Dark Demon Abyss.

Now, with Black Sword's words, it was an affirmation of Blood Robe's status and represented the stance of the Dark Demon Abyss.

Ziyuan Ancestor looked at Black Sword with a glint of appreciation in his eyes.

If it were still under the Abyss Master's decision, how could he easily allow Blood Robe to enjoy Great Supreme Principle treatment?

Now that Black Sword had spoken, at least within Lin Ya Transformation, as long as Blood Robe didn't do anything unacceptable, the Dark Demon Abyss would protect him.

The Yang Deity Venerables looked at Blood Robe with envious eyes.

"Let's take advantage of the Lin Ya Transformation not yet starting and get this happy event done." Moon Radiance Venerable said with a cheerful smile, her face full of joy.

She also planned to strike while the iron was hot and tie Blood Robe to the front lines.

Moon Maiden Jinli stood quietly behind Qi Yuan, feeling no joy from Moon Radiance Venerable's words. A dark cloud lingered on her snowy face.

Ziyuan Ancestor's face also showed joy, "This is... double happiness!"

However... soon, his smile froze.

Just then, in Zi Yuan Heaven's sky, a scorching Great Sun... suddenly appeared.

All the cultivators of Zi Yuan Heaven felt the scorching heat and hot air at this moment.

Ziyuan Ancestor looked up at the sky with an unkind expression, staring at the Great Sun's shadow, and shouted in dissatisfaction, "The Great Sun Palace has arrived, and you don't even greet us? Are you not afraid that our Creation Artifact might harm you?"

In the void, two majestic figures appeared beneath a scorching sun, their auras exuding supreme authority. These two supreme beings hailed from the Taihuang Palace.

One of them was none other than the True Essence Venerable.

Disregarding Ziyuan Ancestor's words, he glared at Qi Yuan, his voice cold and stern, "Qi Yuan, accompany me back to the Taihuang Palace. This is an order!"

His demeanor was domineering and left no room for doubt.

The way he looked at Qi Yuan was as if scrutinizing a criminal.

"Hmph! Is this how the Taihuang Palace always conducts itself?" Moon Radiance Venerable couldn't help but exclaim, her voice laced with indignation. "You see a heavenly talent and immediately decide to frame them?"

Ziyuan Ancestor's anger surged as well, "Even if you're from the Taihuang Palace, you can't act so domineeringly in the Six Heavens... Is this not the land of the Taihuang Palace?"

The other elders from the Dark Demon Abyss exuded terrifying and profound auras, their battle intent soaring.

It seemed that with a single command from the Black Sword, they would take action against the Taihuang Palace's supreme beings.

True Essence Venerable narrowed his eyes, showing no fear.

He scanned the surroundings and spoke calmly, "This is a personal grudge between the Palace Master and Qi Yuan. It has nothing to do with you all. I hope you value your lives and don't bring trouble upon yourselves."

As his words echoed, they were like thunderclaps in the ears of the audience.

A personal grudge?

Did the Blood Robe offend that Celestial Sovereign?

How did the Blood Robe's strength manage to offend the Celestial Sovereign?

And Ziyuan Daxue, covering her mouth, looked perplexed.

In a 619 book, there's not a single mistake!

She recalled when she first met Blood Robe; he had mentioned that his greatest enemy was from the Taihuang Palace.

At first, she didn't think much of it, as if an ant could ever provoke the stars in the heavens.

But now it seemed like it was indeed true.

Ziyuan Ancestor glanced at Qi Yuan, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

Could this fellow be secretly cursing the Celestial Sovereign from the Taihuang Palace behind his back? Did the Celestial Sovereign find out?

True Essence Venerable's gaze on Qi Yuan deepened, "He is a sinful citizen!"

"What?"

"A sinful citizen?"

The Yangshen Venerable immediately understood, his expression perplexed.

But Moon Radiance Venerable couldn't help but exclaim, her voice filled with disbelief, "I never imagined that the Taihuang Palace would be so shameless.

In the past, for the sake of a technique, they subjugated the Three Thousand Realms.

The Celestial Sovereign from the Ultimate Principle Council went to the Taihuang Palace to demand an explanation, but they claimed that the Three Thousand Realms... were all sinful citizens!

I, the Celestial Sovereign, say this today... You from the Taihuang Palace are sinful citizens!"

Being a sinful citizen is merely a label placed upon them.

"As a sinful citizen, if you don't repent and atone, but instead secretly plot to overthrow the Three Thousand Realms, Qi Yuan, do you know your sin!"

True Essence Venerable's voice was like that of a heavenly decree.

Just now, upon arriving at Ziyuan Heaven, he learned that the person before him was none other than Qi Yuan, the one who had overthrown the Three Thousand Realms.

The other supreme beings, upon hearing this, were all shocked.

Anyone who was well-informed knew that within the Three Thousand Realms, there was a Celestial Sovereign who had shed his past selves.

The Great Sun Venerable did not cultivate the future, nor did he cultivate the past, only proving the eternal existence of the Great Sun.

He was too powerful, and thus had to shed his past selves, placing them within the Three Thousand Realms.

Now, looking at the Three Thousand Realms' Three Thousand Yangshen, they all took a deep breath, their expressions shocked.

This was a grudge that blocked the path!

If it were a regular grudge, they might have discussed it, but...

This life-and-death grudge was no less than that of the Moon Goddess Lord and the Great Sun Venerable.

"As a sinful citizen, overthrowing the Three Thousand Realms, is Sin One!

Using the Ten Day Sky, coveting the position of the Great Sun Venerable, is Sin Two!

Unforgivable sins, they must be executed!"

True Essence Venerable's voice was like thunder, reverberating in the ears of everyone present.

Moon Radiance Venerable's face changed at that moment.

She looked at Qi Yuan in disbelief, "You... are the Ten Day Celestial Sovereign?"

If it were any other enemy of the Taihuang Palace, Moon Radiance Venerable would have been delighted to see them grow.

But this person is... the Ten Day Celestial Sovereign!

The Ten Day Celestial Sovereign, coveting the position of the Great Sun Venerable.

From this moment on, it was also destined that the Moon Goddess Palace would become their enemy!

The other supreme beings looked at Qi Yuan in shock.

How many more identities does this fellow have?

The one who overthrew the Three Thousand Realms, daring to provoke the Taihuang Palace, and aspiring to seize the position of the Great Sun Venerable, is also him!

Everyone was astonished, and many heavenly talents subconsciously moved away from Qi Yuan, their faces filled with fear.

But Qi Yuan remained calm, standing tall in his blood-red robe, holding Jinli's hand. He said, "Overthrowing the Three Thousand Realms, is this not also the sin of the Taihuang Palace?

You from the Taihuang Palace, the stars in the heavens, is this not also a sin?

If this is how you speak, only then are you truly sinful and deserving of execution!"

And at this moment, Moon Radiance Venerable looked at Qi Yuan, her mind made up, "Jinli, come back to the Moon Goddess Palace.

He... is not only the enemy of the Taihuang Palace, but also the enemy of the Moon Goddess Palace!"

Ziyuan Xiaolu bit her lip, ultimately not refuting True Essence Venerable's words.

She understood Moon Radiance Venerable's intention.

And she knew that now, with Jinli following Qi Yuan, it would be dangerous.

Everyone's gaze unconsciously fell on Jinli, and they saw the Moon Maiden Jinli, her expression cold, her eyes determined.

In the past, as a Moon Maiden, she had carved the Moon Mark onto Qi Yuan's hand.

Through the Moon Mark, she could feel his pain at all times.

But what Qi Yuan, the owner of the Moon Mark, must be feeling, was unimaginable.

Later, beneath the Ancient Pine Tree, as she waited alone, the Qi Yuan from the past, or perhaps the Qi Yuan from yesterday, was standing firm, guarding the land.

"Now, since I've seen him again, no matter what... even if the stars fall, the Star Sea collapses, and the Immortal World crumbles, I will stand by his side!"

Jinli's beautiful face was filled with determination.

Under the gazes of countless onlookers, she clutched Qi Yuan's hand tightly and boldly spoke her heart's desire.

Words that she couldn't bring herself to say in the past were finally uttered at this moment.

When Yuehua Tianzun heard this, her expression became complex. "Have you forgotten the years of gratitude you owe to the Moon Goddess Palace? If you follow him, you'll die within the palace. Only by staying here can you have a glimmer of hope for survival!"

Since Qi Yuan was overturning the Three Realms and was also a Ten Sun Venerable, how could the Great Sun Venerable let him off?

Even with his extraordinary talent and immense potential, no one would stand up for him against the Great Sun Venerable's wrath!

This was a grudge of the Dao!

Only by one side being completely annihilated could it be settled.

"My decision is made, Celestial Sovereign, please don't say any more!" Jingli said calmly.

At this moment, a voice transmission reached Qi Yuan's ears.

"Quickly take Jingli and leave, I'll hold off the two Supreme Enlightenments from Taohuang Palace for you!"

The sender was none other than Ziyuan Zu.

Qi Yuan took a deep breath.

He knew that the Super Great Plan was still in progress.

At this point, he had to leave the Dark Demon Abyss, otherwise... he would implicate Ziyuan Heaven.

As for Taohuang Palace...

His gaze remained calm.

He would go there not to apologize but to demand accountability.

However, he had to pretend to be wronged first, according to the plan.

Otherwise... how would the Celestial Sovereign of Taohuang Palace fall into the trap?

Looking at True Essence Venerable, Qi Yuan's expression was serene. "The day Lin Ya Transformation begins is the day I will flatten Taohuang Palace.

Let's see if you can stop me during the Lin Ya Transformation!"

Qi Yuan spoke with determination.

This was also part of the Super Great Plan.

"How dare you!"

"Arrogant!"

The two Supreme Enlightenments were furious and their might shook the heavens.

The elders of the Black Demon Abyss exchanged glances, none of them daring to intervene.

Ziyuan Ancestor quickly took action, confronting the two Supreme Enlightenments from Taohuang Palace.

These two Supreme Enlightenments were both from the second tier, and their power was terrifying.

Qi Yuan faced them alone, and even though they were stronger than him, he was determined to fight.

At this moment, the silent Black Sword suddenly struck out. A white light flashed, and a terrifying Sword Intent swept through, blocking the two Supreme Enlightenments for an instant.

The calm voice of the Black Sword also reached Qi Yuan's ears.

"Go!"

Qi Yuan glanced at the people of Ziyuan Heaven, still tightly holding Jingli's hand. He no longer hesitated.

In an instant, their figures disappeared.

A voice transmission also reached Ziyuan Ancestor's ears.

"Old man, if you sense danger, come to Heaven Earth Mystic Land. I'll protect you."

Qi Yuan had no choice but to leave.

Because he had already sensed an impending, vast, and scorching aura that was about to locate him.

Evidently, the Celestial Sovereign of Taohuang Palace... was brewing a thunderous strike to annihilate him.

Just as Qi Yuan and Jingli's figures vanished, a deafening sound reverberated through the void.

Countless lights, like molten lava, overflowed from the void.

In that instant, countless voids shattered.

Obviously, the Celestial Sovereign of Taohuang Palace had made his move, instantly severing all voids and cutting off Qi Yuan's escape routes.

Of course, he was unaware that Qi Yuan had entered his own Purple Mansion.

After about half a breath, a faint sound of surprise echoed in the void, then disappeared.

The Supreme Enlightenments outside Ziyuan Heaven's sky all felt their scalp tingle, as if they had a prickly sensation on their backs.

Because... they seemed to have witnessed the strike of a Supreme Venerable.

That kind of power... was indescribable, and it was said that a single palm could annihilate them.

At this moment, Ziyuan Xiaolu and Ziyuan Daxue's faces turned pale.

Because they didn't know if the Blood Robe had escaped or not.

Ziyuan Ancestor's expression turned grave. After blocking the two Supreme Enlightenments, he seemed to ponder Qi Yuan's words.

Could it be?

But...?

His face was filled with worry.

In Heaven Earth Mystic Land... could that tattered robe stop the Supreme Venerable of Taohuang Palace? Even if Qi Yuan hid in Heaven Earth Mystic Land, his location would be discovered by Taohuang Palace in an instant.

Ziyuan Ancestor's expression became conflicted. After a moment of hesitation, his gaze suddenly turned resolute.

As this incident unfolded, Ziyuan Heaven trembled, the Black Demon Abyss was in turmoil, and even in the Sixth Heaven, people were in an uproar, shocked by the day's events.

Unnoticed by anyone, Ziyuan Ancestor appeared alone at the foot of Black Abyss Mountain.

The arrogance on his face vanished, and he looked like an old man in his twilight years.

The last time he came here, he sought help from the Abyss Lord, but he didn't even get a chance to see the lord's face.

Back then, he vowed that if he had to ask for help again, he would rather be lower than a pig or a dog.

But now...

Hiding in Heaven Earth Mystic Land, how long could the Blood Robe withstand the pressure from Taohuang Palace? At this moment, he didn't care about losing face.

Bowing deeply towards Black Abyss Mountain, he said, "The Blood Robe possesses exceptional talent and has comprehended two Supreme Principles. He will lead the revival of the Black Demon Abyss. I beg the master... to protect the Blood Robe's path!"

Every additional bit of strength increased the Blood Robe's chances of survival.

The old man's arrogance was now replaced by a deep bow.

But the Black Demon Abyss remained silent, and no one responded to his plea.

Ziyuan Ancestor's face changed repeatedly, and finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "If the master is willing to protect the Blood Robe's path, this time, I'm willing to lead the expedition to the Immortal Palace on behalf of Taohuang Palace!"

The Black Demon Abyss's choice to seal itself wasn't without a price.

The price was... to sacrifice some Supreme Enlightenments.

Leading the expedition to the Immortal Palace meant facing certain death.

At this moment, a voice as ancient as time itself echoed from within the Black Demon Abyss.

"Why are you doing this?"

"The Black Demon Abyss has the Black Sword... that's enough."

The voice was hesitant, filled with helplessness, and yet, calm.

Hearing this, Ziyuan Ancestor's anger rose, but he continued to bow deeply.

"Master, the Blood Robe... he is the source of the bloodline. I beg you... to protect him!"

He pleaded earnestly to the master he had always resented and disliked.

"So what if he's the source of the bloodline? Since he has come to this universe, he must follow its rules."

Within the Black Demon Abyss, an ancient voice spoke.

"Go back. You cannot interfere in this matter."
