Chapter 1974 Fighting Against Heaven
The question from Venerable Tianxuan, tinged with weariness and heaviness yet imbued with a final hope, rippled across Chang Xiwen's heart like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.
He involuntarily turned to look at Chen Fei, a faint yet tenacious flame of hope rising uncontrollably from the deepest part of his heart.
Although Chang Xiwen was very clear-headed about how slim this hope was.
No matter how monstrous or gifted Chen Fei may be, he is only at the mid-stage of the Dominator Realm. Facing a terrifying being who is about to cross the boundary and whose strength is at least comparable to the Destruction Venerable at his peak, his individual strength is simply like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
However, Chen Fei went to the Primordial Continent, to the legendary Martial Arts Arena of the Myriad Realms, which is said to gather the most outstanding geniuses from all the worlds.
There, one finds resources and methods that are unimaginable to cultivators of the Xuan Yu Realm.
Perhaps there really is a way to avert this catastrophic disaster within the training grounds?
Under the complex gazes of Venerable Tianxuan and Chang Xiwen, a mixture of anxiety, expectation, and even a hint of despair as they struggled to survive.
Chen Fei slowly raised his head. His face still held that reassuring composure and calmness. His gaze swept over the two seniors, and he finally nodded firmly.
"I do have a solution."
Chen Fei's voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear and powerful, like a flash of lightning piercing the heavy night.
"Is there really a way?"
Almost the instant Chen Fei finished speaking, Chang Xiwen's eyes lit up.
Even the face of Venerable Tianxuan, which appeared somewhat gloomy due to his severe injuries, seemed to radiate a glimmer of light.
"What method? Chen Fei, tell me quickly!" Chang Xiwen couldn't help but step forward, her voice trembling slightly with excitement, and asked urgently.
Chen Fei didn't keep them in suspense. He knew how precious time was. He stretched out his right hand, his fingers forming a sword shape, and made a light slash in the air in front of him.
"Buzz!"
A soft light flowed from his fingertips, quickly weaving and spreading in the air.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a huge light screen composed of pure light particles, which floated in mid-air in the courtyard.
On the light screen, countless pieces of information were densely arranged. It was the list of primordial continent forces willing to accept beings from the lower realm, along with their conditions, that Chen Fei had seen from the mysterious old man in the Lin Yuan Pavilion.
"Venerable One, Senior Chang."
Chen Fei pointed to the light screen and explained in a deep voice: "This method uses the source points that I have earned in the martial arts arena to ask the power of the rules of the martial arts arena to help us completely sever our connection with the origin of the Heavenly Dao of the Xuan Yu Realm and remove the dimensional imprints on our bodies."
Then they all left the Xuan Yu Realm and headed directly to the Primordial Continent.
"And these..."
Chen Fei's finger swept across the light screen: "These are some of the forces that are currently willing to accept us. We can choose one of them."
The gazes of Venerable Tianxuan and Chang Xiwen were immediately drawn to the enormous light screen, and their divine senses rapidly scanned every piece of information on it.
However, as they read on, the glimmer of light that had just appeared on their faces quickly faded, replaced by an increasingly solemn expression.
The conditions listed on the screen, one by one, revealed naked cruelty and exploitation.
The terms of loyalty, soul sacrifice, enslavement, and blood pacts are simply trampling on the dignity and freedom of cultivators.
But at this moment, when the bloody ending of "Xuanyu Realm being devoured, its origin lost, its cultivation completely destroyed, and its body and soul extinguished" hangs before them...
To have the chance to leave alive, to preserve one's cultivation, and to continue existing in the vast world of the primordial continent...
In contrast, these stringent conditions on the light screen seem to be a "lucky" choice?
A helpless price to pay!
This realization filled Venerable Tianxuan and Chang Xiwen with an indescribable sense of frustration and sorrow.
What weighed heavily on their hearts was that, although Chen Fei did not say it explicitly, they all knew that the amount of Source Points required to get an existence like the Myriad Realms Martial Arts Arena to take action and carry out such a large-scale boundary breaking and imprint stripping would be no small sum.
These source points were fought and won by Chen Fei in the life-or-death arena, but now he may have to use them all at once to save the people of Xuan Yu Realm.
It was precisely because they anticipated the enormous cost of those Source Points, and compared them with the harsh conditions imposed by the forces on the light screen before them…
Having paid such a huge price, only to receive this result, how can they easily accept it?
Venerable Tianxuan couldn't help but recall his previous encounter with Di Tianling, the envoy of the ancient Heavenly Court. At the time, he felt that the conditions proposed by the other party were already quite stringent, but compared to the conditions displayed on the light screen now...
The conditions offered by the ancient Heavenly Court were already considered favorable; at least the ancient Heavenly Court provided benefits first, and then imposed restrictions.
However, given that the Xuan Yu Realm is about to be completely invaded by demonic cultivators, the agreement between Venerable Tian Xuan and the ancient Heavenly Court has in fact been nullified midway.
After all, Venerable Tianxuan could no longer become the ruler of the Xuanyu Realm.
Presumably, the ancient Heavenly Court would never have anticipated that such an anomaly as Chen Fei would appear in the Xuan Yu Realm.
An existence capable of earning a massive amount of Source Points through the Martial Arts Arena of the Myriad Realms, enough to lead a large number of beings to escape from the plane.
This is an event with an extremely low probability, completely beyond the scope of conventional reasoning.
It's not that cultivators from other planes didn't flee their homelands beforehand.
However, even if those cultivators manage to escape by chance, they often find it difficult to quickly establish themselves in the Primordial Continent, especially in places like the Martial Arts Arena of the Myriad Realms, due to limitations in their own vision, cultivation methods, and foundation, let alone acquire such a large number of Origin Points.
Their competitors are top geniuses from all the realms, including many native demonic cultivators from the primordial continent, whose strength and ferocity far exceed the imagination of cultivators from lower planes.
Therefore, in the expectations of the ancient Heavenly Court, if a top powerhouse in the lower realm like Venerable Tianxuan could not win the battle for the plane and become the world lord, then his final fate would be only one: to die and disappear as the origin of the plane was devoured.
For someone destined to die, the previous agreement naturally loses all meaning.
A long silence fell over the courtyard, with only the text on the screen still radiating a cold light.
Venerable Tianxuan's gaze swept over the suffocating terms on the light screen again and again.
He was weighing the options, comparing them, searching for that sliver of a possible optimal solution, even though the word "optimal" seemed so ironic at that moment.
After a long while, Venerable Tianxuan slowly raised his hand, extended a finger, and pointed to a line of information on the light screen.
"Perhaps the only option is the 'Blazing Sun Immortal Dynasty'!"
Venerable Tianxuan's voice was hoarse: "The condition is to guard the border for ten thousand years. Although it is arduous and dangerous, there will be merits for daily guarding, and there will be extra rewards for killing demonic cultivators."
Merit points can be exchanged for cultivation resources, at least leaving a path for advancement through one's own efforts.
With a light tap of his fingertip, Venerable Tianxuan unleashed a beam of light from the "Blazing Sun Immortal Dynasty" entry on the light screen, rapidly spreading across the courtyard.
It transformed into a vast, dynamic, illusory map depicting the approximate territory and features of the Yanyang Immortal Dynasty.
Chang Xiwen stared intently at the map, his brow furrowed, and said in a deep voice, "What the Venerable One says is absolutely right. Among these forces, the conditions offered by the Yan Yang Immortal Dynasty are indeed relatively generous, but..."
Chang Xiwen pointed to the long and winding boundary line on the map, especially the parts that bordered large areas of darkness:
"Judging from the vast area bordering the demonic forces, the battle lines are extremely long, which means that the pressure and danger of guarding the border will be enormous. It is likely that the battles with the demonic cultivators will be commonplace in the future, and the ferocity of the conflict is unpredictable."
After speaking, Chang Xiwen and Venerable Tianxuan turned their gazes to Chen Fei again without prior arrangement.
This opportunity to escape was entirely due to Chen Fei, and Chen Fei's opinion must be respected and considered in this final decision.
Chen Fei's views are of paramount importance.
Chen Fei met the gazes of the two seniors, her expression calm.
He carefully examined the illusory map in the air, then recalled the specific terms regarding the Yan Yang Immortal Dynasty on the light screen. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly spoke:
"Venerable One, Senior Chang, the Yan Yang Immortal Dynasty is indeed the most reasonable of the major powers we can choose from. It does not require the sacrifice of one's divine soul essence, nor does it have a harsh bloodline contract, thus preserving a certain degree of autonomy and room for advancement."
"but……"
Chen Fei then shifted his focus, pointing to the long border line on the map, his tone becoming serious: "Just as Senior Chang said, it faces immense external pressure. This is probably the fundamental reason why it is willing to offer relatively 'relaxed' conditions."
"A large number of people are needed to fill the defenses and deal with the relentless attacks of demonic cultivators. Therefore, it needs to attract more forces to join. We need a foothold and a sanctuary, while they need soldiers who can fight."
Chen Fei's analysis pinpointed the core motivation behind the Yan Yang Immortal Dynasty's willingness to accept them.
"Indeed!"
Venerable Tianxuan sighed deeply, a helpless bitter smile appearing on his face. Chen Fei's analysis coincided with his own judgment.
But this is the least bad one you can find out of a bunch of terrible options.
Venerable Tianxuan's gaze swept across the light screen again, trying to find other possibilities, such as the ancient Heavenly Court.
However, there was no information related to the ancient Heavenly Court on the light screen.
It's unlikely that this fallen power would ever seek to absorb new blood through such an open and potentially revealing method.
"Chen Fei..."
Venerable Tianxuan suddenly remembered something, looked at Chen Fei, and asked, "If we choose to go to a cultivator power like the Yanyang Immortal Dynasty, what will they do with the Yuan Demons in the Xuanyu Realm?"
Venerable Tianxuan thought of the local demonic cultivators led by Di Chengze. Although the Dao and the demons were different, they were all beings of the Xuanyu Realm and had contributed to the fight against the external demons.
Chen Fei smiled slightly and immediately replied:
"The forces of cultivators and demonic cultivators are inherently opposed. If they go there, they will surely be eliminated immediately."
However, when we unleash the power to break through boundaries, we can use the rules of the training grounds to separately mark their auras and send them to the demonic cultivation forces, which can be considered giving them a way out.
Upon hearing this, Venerable Tianxuan nodded. The paths of the Dao and the Demon are different, and each goes their own way. This can be considered as settling a karmic debt.
Venerable Tianxuan's expression turned solemn, and a resolute light returned to his eyes:
"There is no time to lose. I will summon all sect leaders and all fellow cultivators at the Sovereign Realm right now. We must finalize this matter as soon as possible!"
The next moment, Venerable Tianxuan raised his right hand, and a dazzling and profound rune suddenly lit up in his palm. Then, he suddenly lifted his palm into the air.
"boom!"
The rune shot into the sky and exploded above the sect leader's peak, transforming into countless tiny streams of light that, as if possessing life, sped off in all directions.
In less than a quarter of an hour, streaks of light of various colors and majestic auras, like meteors summoned by an invisible force, broke through the sky from all directions and landed on the huge plaza in front of the main peak of the Tianxuan Sect.
The light faded, revealing figures, each with a solemn and puzzled expression on their face.
They looked at each other, their eyes conveying unease. What earth-shattering event had occurred that prompted Venerable Tianxuan to use the highest-level Xuantian Decree to summon everyone so urgently?
Chang Xiwen appeared and guided the hundreds of Sovereign Realm experts into the courtyard shrouded in mist in an orderly manner.
Although the courtyard was large, it became somewhat crowded with so many powerful individuals suddenly entering.
All eyes were focused on Venerable Tianxuan in the center of the courtyard, whose face was still pale, waiting for him to speak.
Chen Fei and Chang Xiwen stood quietly beside Venerable Tianxuan.
The Heavenly Profound Venerable's gaze slowly swept over every familiar face present, his eyes filled with heaviness and a hint of barely perceptible sorrow.
Venerable Tianxuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Fellow Daoists, a new powerful figure is currently setting up a 'World-Suppressing Array' on the Primordial Continent, with its target being our Xuan Yu Realm. This array will be completed within a few days, and the strength of the powerful figure who has come this time is at least equivalent to the Destroyer Venerable at his peak..."
The words of Venerable Tianxuan were like a destructive thunderbolt from the heavens, striking the minds of all the Sovereign Realm experts.
In an instant, all the vital energy within a radius of millions of miles centered on the main peak seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand, and its flow suddenly stopped.
The rules of heaven and earth began to twist and tremble violently, visible to the naked eye, due to the terrifying resonance and impact generated by the intense mental turmoil of these hundreds of peak experts.
An indescribable torrent of despair, fear, resentment, and anger swept over every powerful person present, their faces turning ashen white in an instant.
No one doubted the truthfulness of Venerable Tianxuan's words, which is why the news seemed so deadly.
The bloody battle with the Destroyer and his army of Heavenly Demons from a few days ago is still fresh in my mind.
Even the Venerable Tianxuan was severely injured before he could barely repel the enemy, giving the Xuanyu Realm a brief respite.
But now, before they can even recover from the trauma of that great war, an even more powerful and terrifying enemy is about to arrive.
And the timeframe is incredibly tight, with only a few days left!
How could they possibly accept this? How could they not feel despair and anger?
Is destruction truly the only fate for the Xuan Yu Realm?
The entire courtyard fell into a deathly silence, with only the low humming sound generated by the vibrations of the rules, like a mournful elegy playing for this world.
Venerable Tianxuan slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over faces that were either pale, ashen, or gloomy. His voice was still hoarse from his lingering injuries:
"Gentlemen, the situation is not yet at its worst."
These words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly drawing everyone's attention to Venerable Tianxuan.
"Chen Fei..."
Venerable Tianxuan turned his head and looked at Chen Fei beside him, saying in a deep voice, "Show your fellow cultivators the path to survival you obtained in the Primordial Continent."
Chen Fei remained calm as he faced hundreds of burning and eager gazes. He took a step forward and, without uttering a word, raised his right hand, forming a sword-like gesture with his fingers, and made a light slash in the air in front of him.
"Buzz!"
A dazzling light screen appeared out of thin air once again, densely listing the names and emblems of the forces on the primordial continent that were willing to accept beings from the lower realms, along with the heart-stopping acceptance conditions.
"This is a glimmer of hope that I found by chance in the 'Martial Arts Arena of All Realms'."
Chen Fei's voice, clear and steady, reached everyone's ears: "These places can help the beings of my Xuan Yu Realm to collectively leave this realm and seek refuge on the Primordial Continent. These are the places we can choose to settle down at present."
"but……"
Chen Fei's tone suddenly became extremely solemn: "Time is of the essence. The enemy could arrive at any moment. We don't have much time to hesitate or waste. We must make a decision as soon as possible!"
"Wow!"
As the primordial energy of heaven and earth flowed once more across millions of miles, the divine senses of all the Sovereign Realm experts surged toward the light screen like a tidal wave, frantically browsing the information on it.
A way out actually exists!
But soon, when they saw the harsh conditions imposed by those forces, their initial joy was quickly replaced by a more complex emotion, which then turned into deep silence and deliberation.
Time ticked by in this suffocating silence, with each strong individual rapidly calculating and comparing in their mind.
Ultimately, after intense spiritual communication and a brief debate, everyone's opinions gradually converged on the three forces.
The Blazing Sun Immortal Dynasty: Its condition is to guard the border for ten thousand years. Its advantage lies in relative autonomy and the availability of upward mobility. Its disadvantage is that it borders a vast area with demonic cultivators, making it the most dangerous.
The Hidden Palace: The condition is to obey the Hidden Palace for 30,000 years. There is only one area bordering the demonic forces, which seems relatively safe.
However, the disadvantages are equally obvious. The constraints are enormous, and for the next 30,000 years, it will be almost equivalent to a vassal. The overall strength of the Divine Concealment Palace is inferior to that of the Flaming Sun Immortal Dynasty, and there is still a region that borders the demonic cultivators.
Xuandu Immortal Dynasty: The condition is to obey orders for ten thousand years, which is a relatively short period, but there is an extremely harsh additional clause.
Within these ten thousand years, 50% of the cultivation level gained by all recipients must be given to certain specific cultivators within the Xuandu Immortal Dynasty.
Its borders with demonic cultivators are more extensive than those of the Hidden God Palace, but less extensive than those of the Blazing Sun Immortal Dynasty.
Three choices, like three completely different paths to the future, were laid out before everyone.
Every path is fraught with thorns and requires a heavy price. The choices one makes test the will and vision of every strong person.
The Heavenly Profound Venerable's gaze slowly swept across the entire arena, finally landing on an old man with a resolute face and an aura as heavy as a mountain, none other than Shi Ruifeng, the fourth-ranked on the Heavenly Ranking.
"Brother Shi..."
Venerable Tianxuan spoke in a deep voice, his tone questioning: "What are your thoughts on these three options?"
All eyes immediately turned to Shi Ruifeng, whose opinion would carry immense weight.
Shi Ruifeng frowned, his gaze sharp as he scanned the information from the three factions on the light screen. After a moment, he raised his head, his voice ringing out like the clash of metal:
"Your Excellency, I believe that the Hidden Palace, though seemingly safe, is actually like a frog being slowly boiled in water. For thirty thousand years, it has been obeying others. No one can say for sure what might happen during that time!"
"As for the Xuandu Immortal Dynasty..."
Shi Ruifeng's face revealed an undisguised disgust and contempt: "You actually want to hand over 50% of your cultivation to someone else? How is this any different from the behavior of a bloodsucking parasite? I, Shi, would rather die standing than live on my knees!"
"so……"
Shi Ruifeng's gaze fell upon the entry for the Yan Yang Immortal Dynasty: "I, Shi, choose the Yan Yang Immortal Dynasty. Even if the road ahead is fraught with peril and bloody battles, at least the sword in my hand is my own. I can carve out my own path!"
Shi Ruifeng's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's hearts.
That unyielding spirit made many strong individuals who initially favored safer options change their perspective.
Venerable Tianxuan nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to another powerful figure on the Heavenly Ranking, Lin Xunhong, who was dressed in a green robe and had a refined demeanor.
"Brother Lin, what do you mean?"
Lin Xunhong gently stroked his short beard, a calm yet firm smile on his face, and said, "My opinion coincides with Brother Shi's!"
"Living a life of ignominy is not what we seek. Although the Flaming Sun Immortal Dynasty is perilous, it still retains a glimmer of hope for us. If we lose even the spirit to defy fate, what difference is there between us and walking corpses, even if we live?"
“Therefore…” he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture toward Venerable Tianxuan, “I, Lin, also choose the Yanyang Immortal Dynasty!”
The successive statements from the two top figures on the Heavenly Ranking made the winds of change in the courtyard instantly clear.
Finally, Venerable Tianxuan's gaze fell upon Chen Fei.
Not only Venerable Tianxuan, but all the powerful figures present focused their attention on Chen Fei.
"Chen Fei..."
The Venerable Tianxuan's voice carried a hint of solemnity: "Where do you think we should choose?"
At this moment, no one underestimated Chen Fei because of his youth. Everyone knew that without Chen Fei, they wouldn't even have the right to choose. His opinion would be the decisive factor in the final decision.
Despite facing hundreds of burning gazes, Chen Fei remained calm. His gaze swept across the information of the three forces on the light screen once more, finally settling on the Yan Yang Immortal Dynasty.
"Your Excellency, esteemed seniors."
Chen Fei's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly echoed throughout every corner of the courtyard: "This junior believes Senior Shi's words are absolutely correct. The path to the Yan Yang Immortal Dynasty is indeed arduous, but within the danger lies opportunity. Merit can be exchanged for resources, and one can hone oneself on the battlefield, therefore..."
Chen Fei took a deep breath and said decisively, "My choice is also the Yan Yang Immortal Dynasty!"
"Alright! Since Brother Shi, Brother Lin, and Chen Fei have all made this choice..."
Venerable Tianxuan's gaze swept across the entire arena, and his voice suddenly became loud and majestic: "Then the destination for all living beings of my Xuanyu Realm to evacuate this time will be the Yanyang Immortal Dynasty of the Primordial Continent!"
Once the decision was made, it was like a boulder falling to the ground.
In fact, when everyone was asked to make their choice, the Heavenly Profound Venerable had already subtly leaned towards the Flaming Sun Immortal Dynasty when it appeared on the list.
Now, with the explicit support of Shi Ruifeng and Lin Xunhong, two top experts on the Heavenly Ranking, and Chen Fei, the biggest contributor, making the final decision, there is no longer any suspense.
Of course, not all of the hundreds of Sovereign Realm experts present were wholeheartedly drawn to the path of the Blazing Sun Immortal Dynasty, a path filled with blood and fire.
Some people, deep down, may prefer the seemingly more stable Shenyin Palace, or feel that the ten-thousand-year agreement of the Xuandu Immortal Dynasty is acceptable.
However, when they saw that Venerable Tianxuan, Shi Ruifeng, Lin Xunhong, and Chen Fei, the four most core and influential figures in the Xuanyu Realm, had all agreed to choose the Yanyang Immortal Dynasty, all their dissent and hesitation were forcibly suppressed.
They had neither the reason nor the courage to stand up and oppose it, because they knew that if they didn't want to go to the Yan Yang Immortal Dynasty, their only option was to stay in the Xuan Yu Realm.
What is the Xuan Yu Realm about to face? It is a desperate situation where its plane is devoured and its origin is lost, leaving it behind is tantamount to suicide.
Between "possibly dying" and "almost certainly dying," anyone who isn't insane knows which choice to make.
Just as the cultivators' destination was basically confirmed, two figures exuding dense demonic energy stepped out from the crowd. They were the two leaders of the Yuan Demon faction, the Heavenly Ranking experts Di Chengze and Jiao Jingfeng.
Their faces showed obvious worry and unease.
Di Chengze cupped his hands in greeting to Venerable Tianxuan and said in a low voice, "Venerable Tianxuan, shall we Yuan cultivators also travel to the Yanyang Immortal Dynasty?"
Di Chengze paused for a moment, his tone tinged with bitterness: "If we go there, I'm afraid that before we can even gain a foothold, those powerful cultivators will regard us as outcasts or even eliminate us outright."
This question instantly made the atmosphere, which had just eased somewhat, become delicate again.
All the cultivators at the Sovereign Realm focused their attention on Venerable Tianxuan and the two Yuan Demon leaders.
The grudges between the Dao and the Demonic are not something that developed overnight. Although they temporarily formed an alliance to fight against the external Heavenly Demons, their mutual estrangement and wariness have never truly disappeared.
Venerable Tianxuan looked at Di Chengze and Jiao Jingfeng with a deep gaze. He remained silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "Brother Di and Brother Jiao are overthinking it. I did not intend for you to go to the Yanyang Immortal Dynasty together."
Venerable Tianxuan's tone was calm, yet carried a sense of frankness:
"Although we are different from those of the Daoist and the Demonic, and have had conflicts in the past, I cannot bring myself to betray my allies and kill them when we unite to fight against the external enemy."
"Then where should we go from here?"
Jiao Jingfeng asked urgently, his unease deepening. If they couldn't follow the main force, wouldn't they, these Yuan Demons, become like rootless duckweed?
Venerable Tianxuan did not answer directly, but turned to look at Chen Fei. Chen Fei understood and stepped forward again. He lightly tapped his finger in the air.
Another light screen, also radiating mysterious fluctuations, appeared beside them.
Unlike the previous light screen, this light screen emanated a cold, violent, yet uniquely orderly aura.
The list above clearly shows the demonic cultivation forces on the primordial continent that are willing to accept beings from the lower realms, along with their corresponding conditions.
Chen Fei calmly explained, "Everyone, you may choose a suitable demonic cultivation force to go to. The paths of the righteous and the demonic are different; let each accept their own destiny!"
Almost the instant this demonic cultivator's light screen appeared, all the Yuan Demon Sovereign Realm experts were instantly drawn to it, their eyes blazing with intense light.
All the Yuan Demon Sovereign Realm experts gathered in front of the light screen without prior arrangement, their divine senses communicating frantically.
Although the cultivators were blocked by a barrier of divine sense, making it difficult for them to know the specific details, their constantly changing gestures, their expressions that were sometimes excited and sometimes solemn, and the uncontrollable fluctuations of demonic energy around them indicated that their debate was exceptionally intense.
This concerns the future fate of their entire Yuanmo lineage.
Meanwhile, the cultivators at the Sovereign Realm looked at their soon-to-be-parting "allies" with complicated expressions.
Some looked indifferent, some secretly rejoiced, and some revealed a hint of inexplicable emotion.
Time slipped away little by little in this tense and delicate atmosphere.
The cultivators were waiting for the demons to make a final decision so that they could unify the activation of the precious Boundary-Breaking Jade Marrow, while the demons were arguing endlessly about which demonic cultivator faction to choose.
Sudden.
"Boom!"
Without warning, the entire Xuan Yu Realm suddenly trembled violently and wildly.
This tremor did not originate from the ground, nor from an eruption in a certain plane, but rather from the very source of the entire Xuan Yu Realm—a terrifying upheaval at the level of the Heavenly Dao rules.
"what happened?"
Inside the courtyard, all the Sovereign Realm experts, whether cultivators or demons, had a slight change in expression at this moment. They subconsciously looked up at the high sky above.
The once clear sky was now covered with countless tiny, twisted cracks, like shattered glass.
An indescribable, terrifying pressure, filled with an aura of destruction and evil, was surging into the Xuan Yu Realm like a tidal wave through those cracks.
It was as if an invisible giant hand was forcibly tearing apart the dimensional barrier of the Xuan Yu Realm from the outside.
