Chapter 489: Heavenly Disaster, the Storm Will Arise Again

Li Xuan's expression was strange. Who would have thought that Tianzi and Tai Miao had such a grudge?

Tai Miao must have mistaken Tianzi for Tai Cang's male favorite. No wonder Tianzi was so angry; she kept cursing whenever she thought about it.

"That Tai Miao, with less talent and strength than Qingyu, couldn't compete with her, and she blamed me instead! It's infuriating!"

Tianzi took a gulp of tea and continued her rant, talking about how Tai Miao had tried to curry favor with her, acting cold and proud in front of others but becoming as clingy as a little bird in front of Tai Cang.

It was clear that Tianzi held a deep grudge against Tai Miao.

...

In the Divine Realm, a certain place.

Tian Shiqi walked silently through the mountains, without a sound, as if waiting for something.

"It should be about time now."

According to his calculations, the four Heavenly Disaster warriors had already entered the Qinghua Realm, and if all had gone well, they would have captured Xu Yan by now.

Tian Shiqi waited, knowing that if they failed and were all destroyed, the Qinghua Realm would be off-limits to him, and he would have to stay away and report to the Lord.

But if they succeeded in capturing Xu Yan, then he would have to take action. The credit for capturing Xu Yan and obtaining the Dragon Subduing Method could only belong to him!

"It looks like they've failed!"

As time passed, Tian Shiqi's expression grew solemn.

The failure of four Godly Sovereign Realm experts meant that Xu Yan's backer was likely a Supreme or even a Realm Master!

If that were the case, it would mean that apart from the Lord, there was another powerful being plotting something.

What puzzled Tian Shiqi was that if there was a Supreme or a Realm Master hiding in the Divine Realm, how could the Lord and the other powerful beings be unaware of their presence?

"It was a wise decision not to go to the Qinghua Realm myself."

Tian Shiqi felt relieved.

It had been a wise decision to stay in the Nine Mountains Realm and not go to investigate the Qinghua Realm personally after losing contact with them.

"Let's wait a little longer."

Tian Shiqi continued to wait, needing to receive definite news.

A few days later, a spirit bird descended.

"They really failed!"

Tian Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief and gave an order: members of the Heavenly Disaster's Earth Shadow were not to go near the Qinghua Realm!

"I should report to the Lord now!"

Tian Shiqi came to a secluded place and created a cave inside the mountain.

With a solemn expression, he took out a statue and placed it on the stone table. He knelt respectfully in front of the table, and his spiritual power surged out, entering a bead embedded in the statue's forehead.

Hum!

The statue emitted a faint glow, with ripples like water waves. At one point, the statue's eyes lit up.

"Seventeen, what is it?" A slightly hoarse voice asked.

"Lord, Xu Yan may have the backing of a Supreme or even a Realm Master. The situation in the Qinghua Realm is unclear..." Tian Shiqi respectfully reported.

He informed Heavenly Disaster about the failure of the four warriors who had gone to capture Xu Yan.

"A Realm Master?" Heavenly Disaster's voice turned grave.

Then there was a long silence, as if he was deep in thought.

"If it really is a Realm Master, among the many Realm Masters, there is only one who is most likely." Heavenly Disaster spoke again.

"You don't have to worry about the Qinghua Realm. Once the Earth Shadow Realm fully merges with the Taihe Realm, someone will naturally handle it."

"Yes, Lord!" Tian Shiqi replied respectfully.

Then he gave a detailed report on the current situation in the Divine Realm, including the havoc wreaked by the Underworld and Witch Demons, and how the Divine Realm's strength had greatly diminished due to the turmoil in the heavens, causing the various powers to have their own agendas and thus unable to unite against the Underworld and Witch Demon threat.

After reporting on the situation in the Divine Realm, Tian Shiqi respectfully asked, "Please give me your instructions, Lord!"

Heavenly Disaster's voice carried a hint of coldness as he said, "The Underworld and Witch Demons have overstepped their bounds. This world ultimately does not belong to them. We can cooperate, but they must not get too greedy.

"Calm the Underworld and Witch Demon chaos, and send them back to the Heaven's Cave or its vicinity."

"Yes, Lord!" Tian Shiqi replied in a solemn tone.

"You have performed your task excellently, and you will surely be greatly rewarded. Once the Divine Realm and the Dao Realm are unified, you may return."

"Thank you, Lord!" Tian Shiqi was overjoyed.

"Report to me immediately if there are any new developments!"

"Yes!"

The statue's glow began to fade, and the once-bright eyes dimmed.

Tian Shiqi respectfully put away the statue, looking slightly tired. He took out a divine pill and consumed it.

Although he could communicate through the statue as a bridge to the Dao Realm, each time he did so, it consumed a significant amount of his spiritual power.

"To suppress the Underworld and Witch Demons and drive them back to the Heaven's Cave, what kind of cooperation did the Lord reach with them?" Tian Shiqi wondered.

However, he knew that he only needed to follow the Lord's orders. Since the Lord had ordered the Underworld and Witch Demon warriors to be driven back to the Heaven's Cave, he didn't need to know the reasons behind it. He just had to carry out the task!

"Should I take action personally?

"Although the Earth Shadow Realm has not completely descended, the aura of the Dao Realm is already pouring down, and the upper limit of the Immortal Realm has been unlocked. Since this is the case, let a few Heavenly Disaster members break through to the Unity Realm and suppress the chaos caused by the Underworld and Witch Demons!"

With that in mind, Tian Shiqi began to take action.

With the strength of Unity Realm warriors, it would be enough to put an end to the turmoil caused by the Underworld and Witch Demons. After all, up until now, the strongest cultivators who had entered the Divine Realm from the Heaven's Cave were still at the Immortal Realm.

The Great Unity Realm was one of the most turbulent realms among the thirty-six realms of the Divine Realm, and the fall of the Earth Shadow Realm was connecting with the Great Unity Realm.

A powerful spiritual energy storm was raging from the Earth Shadow Realm.

At this moment, the Great Unity Sect no longer had the capability to handle the chaos in the Divine Realm. Among the thirty-six realms of the Divine Realm, only a few realms like the Tai Miao and Great Flame Realms remained untouched by the ravages of the Underworld and Witch Demons.

The Immortal Sovereigns of various realms gathered in the Great Unity Realm.

"Those damned Underworld and Witch Demon scum are running rampant in our Divine Realm, are we just going to let them be?"

Among the many Immortal Sovereigns, a burly man holding a giant axe shouted angrily.

"Our Divine Realm's strength has greatly diminished, and we are practically wounded at our roots. How can we defend against the upheaval from the Heaven's Cave? For now, we can only wait for the arrival of a powerful Dao Realm expert to calm this chaos."

An Immortal Sovereign sighed and replied.

"Nonsense! If we join forces to sweep them out, how can we let the Underworld and Witch Demons act so arrogantly?"

The burly man retorted angrily.

"How do we sweep them out? The Underworld and Witch Demons are not weak. Unless Xu Yan, Meng Chong, and Jiang Buping take action!"

Another Immortal Sovereign spoke with a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Xu Yan and the other two possessed the strength to crush Immortal Sovereigns, but no one dared to force them to take action. As for the strong cultivators from the Underworld and Witch Demons, they didn't seem to have any intention of provoking the three either.

Whoosh!

A gust of spiritual energy storm blew in, and suddenly, a figure from the crowd soared into the sky, flying towards the falling Earth Shadow Realm.

"Fellow cultivators, the bottleneck to the Immortal Realm has probably been unlocked. We can break through to the Unity Realm now. Once we reach the Unity Realm, those damned Underworld and Witch Demon scum are nothing to fear!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd of Immortal Sovereigns became excited.

"That's right! With the descent of the Dao Realm, the Divine Realm and Dao Realm become one. The bottleneck's upper limit has naturally been broken, and we can now break through in the Divine Realm!"

Another Immortal Sovereign flew towards the direction of the Earth Shadow Realm.

The burly man with the giant axe frowned. The two who had just spoken seemed to be strong members of Heavenly Disaster's Earth Shadow. Although he didn't know what their conspiracies were, what they said was true—the upper limit bottleneck of the Immortal Realm had been unlocked, and they could now break through in the Divine Realm.

Although the Earth Shadow Realm had not completely fallen, the spiritual energy and Dao patterns of the Dao Realm had already poured down. Moreover, where it was falling, the Dao patterns of heaven and earth emerged, and the Dao patterns permeated the area, making it the perfect place for a breakthrough.

Immediately, his figure moved, and he flew towards the direction of the falling Earth Shadow Realm.

The rest of the Immortal Sovereigns revealed delighted expressions as they carefully sensed the surroundings, only to discover that the heavenly spiritual energy had indeed become more active.

This also meant that soon, the Great Unity Realm would have the conditions to break through the upper limit of the Immortal Realm.

"Let's go!"

More than a dozen Immortal Sovereigns successively headed towards the place where the Earth Shadow Realm was falling.

Although the upper limit bottleneck of the Immortal Realm had been unlocked, not all Immortal Sovereigns had the strength to break through.

The weakest among them had to be at the peak of the Immortal Realm and had touched the bottleneck of the Unity Realm, or even gained some insights into breaking through; otherwise, it would be impossible.

The tremors in the Divine Realm continued, and the chaos caused by the Underworld and Witch Demons raged on. Gradually, some Immortal Sovereigns joined forces to form alliances to counter the turmoil.

The battles became increasingly intense, and the casualties among the Divine Realm warriors grew more severe.

"Kill!"

The warriors from the top power of the Divine Realm, the Hundred Battles Hall, were full of battle intent as they charged into the army of Underworld warriors. The fierce battle shook the heavens, and the blood-soaked aura shook the area for hundreds of miles.

The warriors of the Hundred Battles Hall were known for their formidable battle prowess. They honed their combat will and refined their battle intentions through constant battles in the Heaven's Cave, so the Underworld and Witch Demon warriors were all too familiar with them.

After a fierce battle, the Underworld forces suffered heavy casualties. The Immortal Sovereigns of the Hundred Battles Hall fought ferociously, and a single one of them could take on two Blood Disciples.

Thump! Thump!

Suddenly, during the battle, the figures of the Blood Disciples abruptly froze for a moment. In that brief moment, they were slain by the powerful experts of the Hundred Battles Hall!

With the fall of the Blood Disciples, the remaining Underworld forces were inevitably slaughtered.

"It should be about time now!"

Tian Shiqi turned his gaze towards the Taihe Realm.

According to his calculations, the first warrior to break through to the Unity Realm should be appearing soon.

And this warrior was none other than Tian Sha's Immortal Sovereign, who had already attained perfection in the Immortal Realm and comprehended the Unity Realm, lacking only the right environment to break through.

Near the falling Earth Shadow Realm, a formidable aura rose to the heavens, merging with the universe.

Unity Realm!

"Today, I shall break through to the Unity Realm and set out to suppress the Underworld and Witch Demon scum!"

As the warrior spoke, having just broken through to the Unity Realm, he swiftly departed towards the area beyond the Taihe Realm.

With the news of the first warrior's breakthrough spreading, more and more warriors who were lingering in the Immortal Realm hurried to the Unity Realm to follow suit. This included powerful experts from the Great Flame Dynasty and even the Patriarch of the Tai Miao Sect.

Who wouldn't want to seize the opportunity to enhance their strength in these turbulent times?

Naturally, there were also strong individuals rushing in from the Tai Kun Realm.

Among them were those who held grudges against Xu Yan, Meng Chong, and Jiang Buping.

As the Unity Realm warriors took action, the chaos caused by the Underworld and Witch Demons gradually came under control, forcing them to retreat back into the Heaven's Cave. The order in the Divine Realm began to restore.

However, the tremors in the universe persisted, and as time went on, everyone gradually became accustomed to the constant shaking. They even discovered ways to find inner peace and continue their cultivation amidst the turmoil.

The spiritual energy in the Taihe Realm became increasingly vibrant, with the heavenly spirit essence surging and the Dao patterns spreading. As a result, more and more warriors were able to break through to the Unity Realm.

With their strength enhanced, their confidence soared, and their ambitions ignited.

Especially when suppressing the Underworld and Witch Demons, they held a crushing advantage, signifying that the Immortal Sovereigns were now as insignificant as tiny grasshoppers in their eyes.

"We, the Myriad Treasures Alliance, cannot let this gross insult go unavenged. Meng Chong, your death is certain!"

"Well said!"

Several Unity Realm warriors from the Myriad Treasures Alliance gathered, their faces cold and determined.

"I thought we would have to wait for the emissary from the Dao Realm to help us avenge the humiliation our alliance faced. But now, we can take matters into our own hands and need not trouble the emissary!"

The speaker was none other than Yan Shan!

The conflict between Meng Chong and the Myriad Treasures Alliance had started with him, so he was the one who most eagerly wished to see Meng Chong crushed. Otherwise, if Meng Chong held a grudge and came after him, his death would be certain.

Now that he had broken through to the Unity Realm, his confidence had skyrocketed, and it was the perfect time to join forces with the other Unity Realm warriors from the alliance to seek revenge on Meng Chong.

"That Xu Yan brat has gone too far, threatening and reprimanding us. Such a gross insult cannot go unpunished!"

"Indeed! That Xu Yan brat is arrogant and disrespectful. It's time to teach him a lesson and cut him down to size!"

In another area, over a dozen Unity Realm warriors gathered.

Each of them wore a cold and stern expression, their eyes burning with anger, as if they had suffered a great humiliation.

And without exception, they were all targeting Xu Yan.

Back when Xu Yan subdued the dragon, they had clamored to share its power, only to be forcefully suppressed by Xu Yan, leaving them too intimidated to breathe a word. Now that their strength had increased, their boldness returned tenfold, and they regarded Xu Yan's past actions as an intolerable disgrace. They were determined to seek revenge!

However, Xu Yan's formidable strength made them hesitant to act alone, so they banded together, preparing to confront Xu Yan as a united force to demand an explanation!

In a certain place near where the Earth Shadow Realm was falling in the Taihe Realm, a young man sat cross-legged on the ground, his aura fluctuating as he reached the peak of the Immortal Realm.

"Kid, if you want to become stronger, following the conventional path won't cut it. Even if you break through to the Unity Realm, you might not be a match for Jiang Buping. Before you break through, you need to temper yourself through blood and fire."

A sinister voice echoed in the young man's consciousness.

"How do I temper myself? I'm willing to do anything, even if it means death, as long as I can avenge Yan'er!"

Just the thought of Yun Yan'er made the young man's breathing heavy and his eyes turn red.

She was the jewel of Yun Shangzong, his heart's undisputed goddess, yet she had been killed by Jiang Buping!

Jiang Buping deserved to die!

Did he know that Yan'er had started speaking to him gently and that she no longer scolded him as much? This meant that he was on the verge of winning her favor!

He finally had a chance to earn her approval and perhaps even capture her heart!

But Jiang Buping had taken her life!

A murderous intent raged within him, his eyes turning bloodshot as if he were about to devour someone.

"Kid, as long as you follow the instructions of Blood Extreme Ancestor, you can not only take your revenge but also avoid death. There might even be a slim chance of resurrecting that little lady."

The alluring voice echoed in the young man's soul.
