Chapter 6061 - 6065
“Arrogant!”
The Demon-Suppressing Venerable flew out of the hall and stood in mid-air.
The Silver Serpent King and the Iron Eagle King followed closely behind, their auras as three seventh-grade Upper Immortals overwhelming the entire area.
“Kai, your breakthrough to the Upper Immortal realm is indeed beyond my expectations,”
the Demon-Suppressing Venerable said coldly, “but a first-grade Upper Immortal is still an ant in my eyes!”
He formed hand seals, and countless golden runes lit up around the plaza, activating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-Sealing Array! A
golden pillar of light shot into the sky, forming a huge golden cage that trapped Kai and his companions within.
Inside the cage, the laws were suppressed, and spiritual energy was drained; ordinary cultivators here couldn’t even unleash thirty percent of their strength.
“Hahaha!”
The Demon-Suppressing Venerable laughed, “Kai, this Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-Sealing Array is specifically designed to counter demons, didn’t expect that, did you? Although you are human, your strength will still be suppressed here!”
“Now, do you still think you have a chance of winning?”
Kai felt the suppressive power of the array; it was indeed very strong.
If he were an ordinary first-grade Upper Immortal, he probably wouldn’t even be able to unleash half his strength here.
But he wasn’t an ordinary Upper Immortal.
His Chaos Power was unaffected by any laws!
“Is this your reliance?”
Kai asked calmly.
The Demon-Suppressing Venerable was stunned: “You…you’re unaffected?”
“I’ll disappoint you.”
Kai raised his hand, the Dragon-Slaying Sword pointing at the Demon-Suppressing Venerable, “This formation is useless against me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he moved!
A gray sword light ripped through the night sky, its speed reaching its limit!
The Demon-Suppressing Venerable didn’t even see Kai’s movement before the sword light was already upon him!
“Not good!” The Demon-Suppressing Venerable was shocked and hurriedly summoned a golden shield.
Clang!
The sword light struck the shield, producing a deafening roar.
A deep crack appeared on the shield’s surface, and the Demon-Suppressing Venerable was thrown back dozens of feet, his blood churning.
“How is this possible?!” The Demon-Suppressing Venerable was horrified.
His golden shield was a high-grade immortal artifact, with extremely strong defensive power, yet it was almost shattered by a single sword strike?
And Kai’s speed…it was too fast!
“Silver Serpent! Iron Eagle! Attack together!” roared the Demon Suppressor.
The Silver Serpent King and the Iron Eagle King exchanged a glance and attacked simultaneously.
The Silver Serpent King transformed into a hundred-foot-long silver python, spewing poisonous mist; the Iron Eagle King transformed into a giant eagle, its talons tearing through space.
Kai didn’t even glance at the two, and swung his Dragon-Slaying Sword again.
“Chaos, Slash!”
Two gray sword beams attacked the two separately.
The Silver Serpent King and the Iron Eagle King tried to defend, but the sword beams were too fast and too powerful!
The Silver Serpent King’s poisonous mist was directly cut open by the sword beams, and the remaining force did not diminish, severing his vital point!
The Iron Eagle King’s talons collided with the sword beams and shattered instantly, the sword beams piercing through his chest!
Pfft!
Pfft!
Both demon kings coughed up blood and flew backward, severely injured and on the verge of death!
One sword, severely injuring two seventh-grade demon kings of the Upper Immortal Realm!
The entire arena fell silent!
All the divine guards were stunned, even Ming Li and the others showed expressions of shock.
Is this the strength of a peak first-grade Upper Immortal Realm cultivator?
Is this the terror of the Chaos Dao?
Kai didn’t stop. With a swift movement, he appeared before the Silver Serpent King.
“Traitor, you shall be executed.”With a single sword strike, the Silver Serpent King’s head flew off, his soul and spirit annihilated!
Turning, another sword strike followed, and the Iron Eagle King met the same fate!
Two great demon kings, fallen!
The entire process took no more than three breaths!
The Demon Suppressor’s face turned deathly pale. He finally realized that he had severely underestimated Kai’s strength.
“Escape!” This was the only thought in his mind.
But how could Kai let him escape?
“Demon Suppressor, it’s your turn.”
Kai took a step forward, appearing before the Demon Suppressor, his Dragon-Slaying Sword aimed straight at his brow.
The Demon Suppressor desperately tried to defend himself, unleashing all sorts of magical treasures and supernatural powers.
Golden shields, protective talismans, defensive formations… but before the chaotic sword light, everything was in vain.
Swoosh!
The sword light pierced through layers of defense, sinking into the Demon Suppressor’s brow.
The Demon Suppressor’s body stiffened, his eyes filled with resentment and fear: “You… what exactly are you…”
Before he could finish speaking, his soul was annihilated.
Kai sheathed his sword, and the Demon Suppressor’s corpse fell from the sky, crashing onto the plaza, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The entire arena fell silent.
Three thousand divine warriors, dozens of flying boats, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-Sealing Array… all were rendered useless before Kai.
This was the difference between the Upper Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Immortal Realm!
This was the power of the Chaos Dao!
Kai stood in mid-air, his gaze sweeping across the entire arena: “Listen, Divine Race! The Demon-Suppressing Venerable is dead, the Silver Serpent King and the Iron Eagle King have been slain. Those who surrender will not be killed, those who resist will die!”
His voice was not loud, but it was like thunder, exploding in the hearts of every divine warrior.
After a brief silence, someone threw down their weapon.
Clang!
The sound of weapons hitting the ground rang out one after another, and all three thousand divine warriors surrendered!
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-Sealing Array automatically deactivated, the flying boats landed on the plaza, and all the divine warriors knelt down to surrender.
Ming Li and the others watched this scene, their hearts filled with indescribable shock.
One man, one sword, slaying three Upper Immortal Realm seventh-grade experts, and subduing three thousand divine warriors!
This was Kai!
This was the man they followed!
Kai landed back on the ground and said to Ming Li, “Send a message to the Netherworld Guards and demon warriors on the outer perimeter, and tell them to come and take over the Demon Suppression Hall.”
“Yes!” Ming Li replied excitedly.
Fox Third Sister stepped forward, tears streaming down her face, “Mr. Chen… Bear King, Elder Deer… did you see? Mr. Chen has avenged you!”
Kai was also filled with emotion.
Iron-backed Bear King, Elder Deer, all the demon comrades who died… did you see?
This is just the beginning.
I will collect the blood debt owed by the gods, one by one!
The news of the fall of the Demon Suppression Hall swept across the entire Western Regions like a hurricane.
The rule of the gods in the Western Regions collapsed overnight.
The five great demon kings were all killed, and the Demon Suppression Venerable fell.
Many demon tribes oppressed by the gods rose up and joined the resistance army.
In just one day, Kai had gathered more than 50,000 demon warriors.
The Demon Suppression Hall became the headquarters of the resistance army.
Kai stood in the square in front of the hall, looking at the dark mass of demon army below, his heart filled with boundless pride.
But that wasn’t enough.
He knew the gods wouldn’t give up so easily. Sure enough, the next day, a scout reported.
“Mr. Chen, the other three Venerables of the Divine Race are leading an army of 100,000 to reinforce us!” the scout panted.
Everyone looked at Kai upon hearing this!
In several other directions in the Western Regions, three more Venerables of the Divine Race were on their way. After receiving news of the fall of the Demon-Suppressing Palace, these three Venerables would surely come to the rescue!
Kai smiled faintly: “Perfect timing.”
He looked at everyone: “Pass down the order, prepare for battle. In this battle, we will let the Divine Race know that the Western Regions are no longer a place they can trample upon at will!”
“Yes!” everyone responded in unison, their eyes burning with fighting spirit.
At dawn, the Divine Race army arrived at the city walls.
The 100,000-strong army was arrayed ten miles outside the Anti-God Palace, a dark mass, their killing intent
soaring to the sky. At the front of the army, three Venerables of the Divine Race, clad in golden armor, stood in mid-air, their aura terrifying.
The one in the middle, with a dignified face, held a golden spear; he was the commander of this reinforcement army, the Golden Spear Venerable!
“Kai! Come out and face your death!” The Golden Spear Venerable’s voice boomed like thunder, echoing through heaven and earth.
Inside the Anti-God Temple, Kai slowly rose.
He looked at the people in the hall: Ming Li, You Sha, Fox Third Sister, one hundred Netherworld Guards, five demon generals, fifty thousand demon warriors…
“This battle concerns the future of the Western Regions,”
Kai said in a deep voice. “Victory will completely end the rule of the gods in the Western Regions; defeat will mean the annihilation of all of us.”
“Are you afraid?”
“No!” The crowd roared in unison.
“Good!” Kai drew his Dragon-Slaying Sword. “Follow me into battle!”
The gates of the Anti-God Temple opened, and Kai led his army out of the city to meet the enemy.
The two armies clashed, their killing intent soaring to the heavens.
The Golden Spear Venerable looked at Kai, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: “You’re Kai? Indeed young. To be able to kill the Demon-Suppressing Venerable at the first rank of the Upper Immortal Realm is truly remarkable. But today, your legend ends here.”
Kai said calmly, “The Demon-Suppressing Venerable said the same thing.”
The Golden Spear Venerable’s face darkened: “Arrogant! I am not a piece of trash like the Demon-Suppressing Venerable! Today I’ll show you what a true peak seventh rank Upper Immortal Realm expert is!”
He brandished his golden spear, the tip radiating dazzling golden light: “Form the array! Heavenly Net!” The
100,000-strong divine army simultaneously formed hand seals, countless golden chains rising from the ground, weaving in the air into a giant golden net covering a radius of a hundred miles!
This was a Heavenly Net array even stronger than the Demon-Suppressing Palace! Once trapped, even a ninth-rank Upper Immortal Realm expert would find it difficult to escape!
But Kai merely sneered: “This trick again?”
He took a step forward, charging into the array!
“Seeking death!” The Golden Spear Venerable sneered, activating the array.
The golden chains coiled around Kai like serpents, trying to trap him.
However, a gray light shield appeared around Kai’s body. The chains melted instantly upon contact with the shield, like ice meeting fire!
The power of chaos restrains all laws!
“What?!” The Golden Spear Venerable was shocked.
Kai was already in front of him, the Dragon-Slaying Sword slashing down!
“Chaos, Heaven-Shattering!”
The gray sword light slashed towards the Golden Spear Venerable.
The Golden Spear Venerable hurriedly raised his spear to block, spear and sword clashing!
Clang!
A deep gash was cleaved in the golden spear, and the Golden Spear Venerable’s hand was split open, blood flowing freely!
“How is this possible?!” He retreated in horror.
The power of this sword strike far surpassed that of a first-grade Upper Immortal! It was even stronger than the peak of a seventh-grade Upper Immortal!
“Attack together!” the Golden Spear Venerable roared at the other two Venerables.
The three attacked simultaneously, their golden spear, golden sword, and golden saber—three superior-grade immortal artifacts—attacking Kai!
Kai remained unfazed, wielding the Dragon-Slaying Sword, unleashing a full-blown burst of chaotic power.
“Chaotic Sword Domain!”
Centered on Kai, a thousand-foot radius transformed into a gray domain. Within the domain, all laws were assimilated by the chaotic power, and the power of the three attacks was greatly reduced upon entering the domain.
“What kind of domain is this?!” the three exclaimed in shock.
They had never seen such a bizarre domain, one that could even devour their own laws!
Kai moved with ease within the domain, each swing of the Dragon-Slaying Sword carrying the power to cleave the heavens and earth.
Clang! Clang! Clang! The
golden spear shattered!
The golden sword broke!
The golden blade shattered!
Three superior-grade immortal artifacts were utterly vulnerable before the chaotic sword light!
“No!” Venerable Golden Spear roared in despair.
Kai slashed down with his sword, cleaving all three in two, their souls and spirits annihilated!
Three seventh-grade Upper Immortals had fallen!
The entire arena fell silent!
The 100,000-strong Divine Clan army and 50,000 Demon Clan warriors were all dumbfounded.
Three swords, slaying three seventh-grade Upper Immortals?
This… is this even human?
Kai stood in the air, sword in hand, his gaze sweeping over the Divine Clan army: “Divine Clan, kill.”
These four simple words carried the weight of heaven, making the 100,000-strong Divine Clan army gasp for breath.
Most of these Divine Clan soldiers were traitors from the Demon Clan, and upon seeing this, they all defected!
In an instant, the Divine Clan army lost all its arrogance!
They were slaughtered, howling and fleeing in all directions, their proud divine status completely gone!
The Western Regions were restored!
Kai landed back on the ground, looking at the kneeling Demon Clan army, but felt little joy.
He knew this was just the beginning.
The Grand Venerable of the Central Region would not give up, and the divine race’s revenge would only intensify.
But so what?
He gripped the Dragon-Slaying Sword tightly, his eyes flashing with cold light.
One comes, one kill!
Two come, two kill!
Until the divine race is wiped out, restoring order to the Thirteen Heavens!
Meanwhile, deep within the Divine Punishment Hall, in the magnificent main hall, the Grand Venerable and a group of high-ranking members stood solemnly, the air thick with an indescribable solemnity and tension.
All eyes were fixed on the silver teleportation array gleaming in the center of the main hall.
The array’s intricate and profound patterns exuded an aura not belonging to the Thirteenth Heaven; it was a passage to the higher world, the Fourteenth Heaven.
Today, the Grand Venerable had shed his usual imposing armor, donning a dark gold robe, his expression almost humbled.
Behind him, eight core members of the Divine Punishment Hall bowed their heads, even their breathing cautious.
“Buzz…”
The teleportation array shone brightly, ripples spreading through the space.
Two figures materialized, gradually solidifying into clear human forms.
The light faded, revealing a man and a woman within the array.
The man appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, his handsome face seemingly otherworldly.
He wore a long, silver-white robe, with faint golden cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs and collar, and an ancient longsword hung at his waist.
Though unsheathed, it exuded a chilling sword intent.
Most striking was the pale golden vertical line between his brows, a symbol of his divine royal bloodline!
The woman appeared even younger, no more than twenty years old, with stunning beauty and snow-white skin.
She wore a light purple gauze dress, the hem adorned with tiny, sparkling gemstones that shimmered with light as she moved.
Her silver hair cascaded down to her waist, adorned with a crescent-shaped jade hairpin.
Her aura was aloof and ethereal, like the bright moon in the heavens, unattainable.
The aura emanating from both of them was clearly at the peak of the seventh rank of the Upper Immortal Realm!
Moreover, the purity and refinement of their auras far surpassed that of other cultivators at the thirteenth level of the Heavenly Realm, indicating an incredibly profound foundation.
Upon seeing this, the Great Venerable immediately stepped forward three steps and bowed deeply: “The thirty-seventh Guardian of the Divine Punishment Hall respectfully welcomes the Special Envoy of the Fourteenth Heaven Divine Palace!”
The eight elders behind him echoed in unison: “Welcome
, Special Envoy!” The man’s gaze swept indifferently over the Great Venerable and the others, and he nodded slightly: “You are the Great Venerable of this realm? I am Lin Wuchen, and this is my junior sister, Yue Liuli. We have come to the Thirteenth Heaven for training by order of our master, and also to inspect the branch palaces of the various divine races.”
His voice was calm, yet it carried a natural air of superiority, as if he were instructing a servant.
Yue Liuli didn’t even glance at the Grand Venerable, instead surveying the layout of the Divine Punishment Hall. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly. “The spiritual energy of the Thirteenth Heaven is indeed thin; even the Divine Punishment Hall is so shabby. Senior Brother, are we really going to stay here for three months?”
Lin Wuchen said calmly, “Master ordered us to train here and experience the hardships of the lower realms. Three months will pass in the blink of an eye.”
Fine beads of sweat appeared on the Grand Venerable’s forehead. He quickly said, “The two special envoys have come from afar. The Divine Punishment Hall has prepared a reception hall of the highest standard. Please move in and rest.”
“No need,”
Lin Wuchen waved his hand. “Let’s talk about the situation in the Thirteenth Heaven first. The Divine Hall received news that a traitor named Kai has appeared in this realm, killing five Grand Venerables and causing quite a stir. Is this true?” The Grand Venerable’s heart tightened, and he forced a smile, saying, “Reporting to the Special Envoy, this is indeed true. That Kai has somehow learned a strange technique and possesses a gray power that can restrain the laws of my divine race.”
“The five Grand Venerables of the Eastern Region were caught off guard and fell victim to his treachery. However…”
He paused, then continued, “However, I have already issued a nationwide arrest warrant and mobilized forces from all regions to encircle and suppress him. I expect it won’t be long before we capture this fiend!”
“Soon?”
Yue Liuli suddenly sneered, her beautiful eyes filled with mockery. “Grand Venerable, are you aware that people in the Fourteenth Heaven are already discussing this matter? They’re saying that the Guardian of the Thirteenth Heaven is incompetent, unable to even handle a mere Celestial Immortal, utterly disgracing the divine race!”
The Grand Venerable’s face turned deathly pale, cold sweat instantly soaking his back. “Special Envoy, please forgive me! That Kai is indeed strange, he…”
“Enough.”
Lin Wuchen interrupted him, his tone still calm, yet carrying an undeniable authority. “I don’t want to hear excuses. The Divine Race has ruled the Thirteen Heavens for thousands of years and has never made such a blunder. As a Great Venerable, guarding this realm, you allowed a mere Celestial Immortal junior to cause such chaos. This is dereliction of duty.”
He paused, his gaze sharp as a knife: “If it weren’t for the fact that you’ve guarded this realm for over five hundred years, and have at least put in the hard work even if you haven’t made any great contributions, the Divine Palace would have already punished you.”
The Great Venerable’s knees buckled, almost collapsing: “Thank you for your leniency, Special Envoy! I will do everything in my power to capture and kill Kai to uphold the dignity of the Divine Race!”
Yue Liuli snorted lightly, about to say something more, when suddenly hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.
“Report!”
A divine guard stumbled and scrambled into the main hall, his face ashen. “Great Venerable One! Urgent report from the Western Regions!”
The Great Venerable One’s heart sank. He sternly said, “What’s the panic! Can’t you see the envoy is here? Get out of here!”
“But…”
the guard trembled, almost dropping the jade slip in his hand. “The Western Regions… something terrible has happened in the Western Regions!”
Lin Wuchen raised an eyebrow. “Speak.”
The guard looked at the Great Venerable One, seeing his ashen face but not daring to stop him, and could only stammer, “The Demon Suppression Hall of the Western Regions… has been breached! The Demon Suppression Venerable has fallen, and the Silver Serpent King and Iron Eagle King, the two demon kings, have been killed!”
“And… and the three lords sent to reinforce the Western Regions—the Golden Spear Venerable, the Green Wood Venerable, and the Crimson Flame Venerable… have also… all perished in battle!”
“What?!”
The Great Venerable One was struck dumb, staggering back three steps, only managing to steady himself after crashing into the jade pillar behind him.
The eight elders were even more horrified, and a collective gasp filled the hall.
The Demon Suppressor, a seventh-rank Upper Immortal, ruled the Western Regions for three hundred years!
The Golden Spear, Green Wood, and Crimson Flame Venerables were all seventh-rank Upper Immortals!
Five seventh-rank Upper Immortals, along with tens of thousands of divine soldiers, were actually… all dead?!
“How is this possible…”
the Grand Venerable muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief. “Kai… how could he possibly have such strength? He’s clearly only at the Heavenly Immortal Realm…”
“Heavenly Immortal Realm?”
Yue Liuli scoffed, her gaze icy. “Grand Venerable, are you senile? A Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator can slay five seventh-grade Upper Immortals in succession? And even breach the Demon Suppression Hall, annihilating tens of thousands of troops?”
She turned to Lin Wuchen, her tone full of sarcasm: “Senior Brother, it seems the situation in the Thirteenth Heaven is worse than we imagined. This Grand Venerable is not only incompetent, but he can’t even get the intelligence right.”
Lin Wuchen’s expression finally darkened.
He had originally thought Kai was just a junior who had encountered some extraordinary events and caused a stir. But now it seemed things were far more complicated than that.
To slay five seventh-grade Upper Immortals in succession, breach the Demon Suppression Hall, and annihilate tens of thousands of troops—this was definitely not something a Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator could do!
“Then what is Kai’s cultivation level now?” Lin Wuchen asked coldly.
The guard trembled as he answered, “According to… according to the soldiers who escaped, Kai has broken through to the peak of the first rank of the Upper Immortal Realm. But… his strength is extremely terrifying. Even with the blessing of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon Sealing Array, the Demon Suppressing Venerable was killed by him with three sword strikes. The three lords, including the Golden Spear Venerable, were also killed by him with one sword strike each…”
“One sword strike each at the seventh rank of the Upper Immortal Realm?”
A strange light flashed in Yue Liuli’s beautiful eyes. “Interesting. It seems this Kai is indeed quite something.”
Lin Wuchen was silent for a moment, then looked at the Grand Venerable: “You said Kai possesses a gray power that can restrain the laws of the Divine Race?”
“Yes… yes.”
The Grand Venerable nodded with difficulty. “That power is extremely strange. Our formations, magic weapons, and supernatural abilities are greatly weakened in front of it, or even directly devoured.”
“The power to devour laws…”
A glint flashed in Lin Wuchen’s eyes. “Could it be the legendary… Chaos Power?”
“The power of chaos?”
Yue Liuli was also surprised. “Senior brother, are you referring to the primordial power that evolved from the beginning of creation? Wasn’t that lost long ago?”
Lin Wuchen shook his head: “Not necessarily. Master once said that the myriad realms are full of wonders. Although the power of chaos is rare, it is not non-existent. If Kai truly possesses the power of chaos and can kill a seventh-grade Upper Immortal, it makes sense.”
He paused, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes: “If it is truly the power of chaos, then this boy must not be allowed to live. The Dao of Chaos is the foundation of the Great Dao. If it can grow, it will surely threaten the rule of the God Race.” Upon hearing this,
the Great Venerable hurriedly said: “Special Envoy, you are wise! Kai must be eliminated! I am willing to personally go to the Western Regions to capture and kill this fiend!”
“You?”
Yue Liuli glanced at him sideways, her contempt undisguised. “You can’t even protect five seventh-grade Upper Immortals under your command. What do you think you’re going to use to capture Kai? Are you just throwing your life away?”
The Great Venerable’s face flushed red, but he dared not retort.
Lin Wuchen pondered, “This matter can indeed not be delayed any longer. The inheritor of the Chaos Power grows at an extremely rapid pace. If he continues to grow stronger, he may become a major threat.”
He looked at the Great Venerable, “You must immediately mobilize all the divine forces of the Thirteen Heavens to go to the Western Regions to besiege Kai. My junior sister and I will also go together to personally confront this inheritor of the Chaos Power.”
The Great Venerable was overjoyed, “With a special envoy taking action, Kai is doomed!”
Yue Liuli frowned, “Senior brother, why do we need to personally deal with a junior from the lower realm? If word gets out, wouldn’t that be…” “Make us a laughingstock?”
Lin Wuchen said calmly, “The power of chaos is extraordinary and should not be underestimated. Moreover…”
A deep meaning flashed in his eyes, “Master sent us to the Thirteenth Heaven for training, wasn’t it to let us experience real combat? This Kai is a good whetstone.”
Yue Liuli thought for a moment and nodded, “Senior brother is right. Let’s go and see. I want to see just how powerful the so-called power of chaos really is.”
Lin Wuchen looked at the Grand Venerable, “I’ll give you three days to gather all your forces. Three days later, march on the Western Regions.”
“Yes!” The Grand Venerable bowed and replied, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
Kai… This time, with the special envoy from the Fourteenth Heaven taking action, let’s see how arrogant you can be!
After the Grand Venerable and the others withdrew to prepare, only Lin Wuchen and Yue Liuli remained in the hall.
Yue Liuli said softly, “Senior brother, do you think Kai really possesses the power of chaos?”
Lin Wuchen stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky outside the hall: “Most likely. If it weren’t for the power of chaos, it would be impossible for a first-grade Upper Immortal to possess such combat strength.”
He paused, then added, “However, even if it truly is the power of chaos, there’s no need to worry too much. Although the Dao of Chaos is powerful, its cultivation is extremely difficult and requires a long period of accumulation. Kai has only just broken through to the Upper Immortal realm, so his grasp of the power of chaos must be superficial.”
Yue Liuli nodded: “Senior brother is right. Besides, we come from the Fourteenth Heaven, and our cultivation…” “His cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities far surpass those of the Thirteenth Heaven. Even if he truly possesses the power of chaos, he is no match for us.”
Lin Wuchen shook his head: “We must not underestimate him. Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt
a rabbit. Since we’ve decided to act, we must ensure absolute success.” He took out a golden talisman from his robes and handed it to Yue Liuli: “This is a divine sealing talisman bestowed by Master, capable of temporarily sealing the laws of a region. If Kai’s power of chaos proves truly difficult to deal with, then we will use this talisman.”
Yue Liuli took the talisman, surprised: “Master even gave you this? It seems Master truly values this trial.”
A complex emotion flashed in Lin Wuchen’s eyes: “The Fourteenth Heaven… isn’t peaceful either. Major powers are engaged in open and covert struggles, and the Temple’s position is being challenged. Master sent us to the lower realm for training; besides tempering us, there’s probably another deeper meaning.”
Yue Liuli was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled: “Who cares? With Senior Brother here, I’m not afraid of anything. This time, let’s join forces, meet that Kai, and see what the so-called power of chaos truly is.”
Lin Wuchen looked at her radiant smile, his gaze softening slightly: “You’re always so willful. But it’s alright, consider this a trip. The Thirteenth Heaven may be barren, but the scenery is quite unique.”
The two smiled at each other, as if they were about to embark on a picnic rather than a battlefield of life and death.
Meanwhile, inside the Western Regions Anti-God Temple.
Kai stood on the high platform before the temple, looking down at the 100,000-strong demon army gathered below, his heart filled with both pride and pressure.
Within three days, demon tribes from all over the Western Regions had caught wind of this and flocked to join him. He now commands an army of 100,000, including over fifty experts at the sixth rank of the Upper Immortal Realm.
But this is not enough.
Ming Li walked to his side and whispered, “Mr. Chen, we just received news from the Eastern Region. The divine races of various regions are beginning to gather, and the forces of each region are taking this opportunity to break free from the control of the divine races. Many forces are willing to form an alliance with us. The Lord of the Eastern Region, Yu Wuji, wants to come and help you, but he needs time to integrate the forces of the Eastern Region and cannot come directly for the time being.”
Kai nodded: “Tell the sects and forces of each region that they only need to restore their respective forces and break free from the control of the divine races. They don’t need to come and help me. I can destroy these divine races by myself.”
After breaking through to the Upper Immortal Realm, Kai’s confidence was extremely inflated.
What were these divine race Grand Venerables? In his eyes, they were nothing.
Fox Third Sister said worriedly, “Mr. Chen, the Divine Race has suffered such a great loss, they will never let this go. Next, there will likely be even more intense retaliation.”
Kai looked eastward, his gaze profound, “I know. Therefore, we must seize the time to consolidate the Western Regions’ defenses and improve our strength.”
He turned to the crowd, “Pass down the order: all cultivators of the fifth rank or above in the Upper Immortal Realm, gather at the Anti-God Hall. I will teach you a combined attack formation.”
“A combined attack formation?” Everyone’s eyes lit up.
Kai nodded, “This formation is called the Chaos Returning to Origin Formation, a formation I comprehended from the Great Dao of Chaos. Although it is not perfect, if you can master it, it will allow the power of everyone in the formation to be unified, unleashing a power far exceeding their realm.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was excited.
A formation comprehended from the Great Dao of Chaos? How profound must that be!
For the next three days, the Anti-God Hall practiced the formation day and night.
Kai integrated the profound mysteries of chaotic power into the formation. Although he couldn’t directly impart chaotic power, he could guide it through the formation, allowing everyone’s power to resonate and create an effect similar to chaotic power. The
100,000-strong demon army was also busy. Under the command of Ming Li and You Sha, they built defensive fortifications and set up trap formations, turning the area within a hundred miles of the Anti-God Temple into an impregnable fortress.
By the evening of the third day, the formation was finally initially completed.
One hundred and eight fifth-grade cultivators of the Upper Immortal Realm formed a great formation. The moment the Chaos Returning to Origin Formation was activated, a huge gray vortex appeared in the sky above the Anti-God Temple.
The vortex slowly rotated, exuding a vast and ancient aura, as if it could devour everything.
Kai stood at the center of the formation, feeling the surging power within it, and his heart calmed down.
With this formation, even if the gods launched a large-scale attack, they would have a fighting chance.
But at this moment, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and an inexplicable sense of crisis surged into his heart.
“Mr. Chen, what’s wrong?” Ming Li noticed his abnormality.
Kai frowned and looked eastward, a gray light swirling in his eyes: “A powerful enemy is coming… and more than one.”
He sensed several terrifying auras rapidly approaching from the east. ”Order the entire army to prepare for battle!”
Kai roared. “The real test has begun!”
Inside the Temple of the Gods, alarm bells rang loudly.
A hundred thousand demon soldiers rapidly assembled, their battle banners fluttering, their killing intent soaring to the heavens.
Kai stood before the temple, Dragon-Slaying Sword in hand, his gaze resolute.
What was destined to come would inevitably come.
So let the battle begin!
Kai took a deep breath, the power of chaos surging within him.
Standing before the temple, his gaze sharp as lightning, he looked towards the eastern horizon.
In the distance, dark clouds pressed down.
Not dark clouds, but a densely packed army of gods!
War drums thundered, horns blared, and three hundred thousand gods rolled in from the east like a black tide.
Banners blotted out the sun, killing intent filled the air, the entire sky dyed a blinding gold by the golden battle banners of the gods.
At the front of the army, hundreds of enormous divine flying ships formed a battle formation, each ship filled with fully armed divine guards.
Golden chains crisscrossed between the flying boats, forming a vast net covering hundreds of miles.
Even more chilling were the soaring auras rising into the sky.
Ten auras!
A full ten auras of the seventh rank of the Upper Immortal Realm!
Leading them was a man in a dark gold robe, his face majestic—the Grand Venerable of the Central Region’s Divine Punishment Hall!
He stood in mid-air, his aura as deep and boundless as the ocean, clearly an eighth-rank Upper Immortal Realm cultivator!
To his left and right were ten Divine Race Venerables from various regions, each a seventh-rank Upper Immortal Realm cultivator.
These important figures, usually ruling their respective regions, had gathered in the Western Regions today!
Behind the Grand Venerable, a man and a woman stood out.
The man wore a silver robe and carried a long sword, his divine king mark gleaming between his brows; the woman wore a purple dress and had silver hair, her beauty as exquisite as the bright moon in the heavens.
They were the special envoys from the Fourteenth Heaven, Lin Wuchen and Yue Liuli!
Although their auras were only at the peak of the seventh rank of the Upper Immortal Realm, their purity and refinement far surpassed that of their counterparts in the Thirteenth Heaven.
Especially Lin Wuchen, standing there, was like a divine sword about to be drawn, his sword intent soaring to the heavens, even causing space itself to slightly distort.
Three hundred thousand troops, ten experts of the seventh rank or higher in the Upper Immortal Realm, and two special envoys from the fourteenth heaven!
Such a lineup was enough to sweep through any major region of the thirteenth heaven!
