Chapter 1268 - 1262: The Tianhe Universe
Sword Qi stretched across the sky, severing the world.
A black palm imprint roared, destroying the universe.
Two ultimate terrifying, ultimate fearful, ultimate deadly attacks violently collided with each other in front of countless eyes.
Then, the anticipated world-shattering explosion didn’t occur.
Because the palm imprint cast by the demonic ancestor was directly split into two by the Sword Qi, shattered into countless light dots, and disappeared without a trace.
Yet, the green Sword Qi slashed out by Liu Bei continued to shine brightly, its brilliance undiminished, striking towards the demonic ancestor.
"What?"
The demonic ancestor’s pupils contracted slightly, revealing a trace of surprise.
He was about to condense an attack to smash the Sword Qi, but at this moment, hundreds of figures appeared around him, setting up a huge array that locked down the starry sky.
Boom!
The green Sword Qi fell.
The demonic ancestor’s clone was directly crushed.
This scene left Liu Bei and the demon clan leader stunned.
Liu Bei was mainly surprised because he didn’t expect the clone of a rule domain expert to be so weak, actually being shattered with one strike.
As for the demon clan leader, he was stunned by the destruction of the demonic ancestor’s clone, but quickly reacted, a deep despair emerging in his eyes.
The ancestor’s clone was slain!
What should he do?
"Do you have any trump cards left?"
Liu Bei asked the demon clan leader, his voice soft yet carrying a chilling coldness.
"Mis... misunderstanding!"
The demon clan leader forced a difficult smile.
"Any trump cards left?"
Liu Bei shook his head and continued to ask.
The demon clan leader remained silent and respectfully said, "This matter was the fault of the demon clan; I am willing to compensate with ten billion Yuan stones to resolve the hatred between the demon clan and the Qin Dynasty."
Admitting defeat!
He also knew that admitting defeat at this moment could preserve a slim chance of survival.
Moreover, he believed that as long as he lowered his posture, the Qin Dynasty would surely spare him, because behind the demon clan, there was a powerful ancestor.
That was his confidence!
In the world of martial artists, apart from one’s own strength, background matters.
"If you won’t strike, I will!"
Liu Bei remained unmoved.
Not to mention that he didn’t know what Yuan stones were.
Even if he did, he wouldn’t spare the demon clan leader; Qin Dynasty had never forgiven its enemies along their path.
This won’t happen now, and it will be prevented in the future.
"Damn it!"
Upon hearing Liu Bei’s refusal, the demon clan battled with dark curses, his face becoming slightly fierce, coldly saying, "Do you know whose clone you just killed?"
"He is the demon clan’s ancestor, who went to the Tianhe Universe billions of years ago!"
"If you dare kill me, the conflict between the demon clan and Qin Dynasty will never be reconciled!"
"When the ancestor returns, you will surely die!"
Since softening didn’t work, he could only threaten.
"Die!"
Liu Bei didn’t bother with words, slashing out with another strike.
"You..."
The demon clan leader wanted to say something more, but only managed to utter one word before his head flew off.
Instant kill!
After using the divine skill ’Shu Ren Shen Yu,’ Liu Bei’s combat power increased several hundred times.
After all, he borrowed the strength of hundreds of former ministers from his past lives.
"You all should accompany your clan leader underground!"
On the other side, Cao Cao spoke to the ’Army of Deviants’ members.
"No... our clan leader doesn’t need us to accompany him!"
The ’Army of Deviants’ deputy general quickly said.
He didn’t want to die.
Many ’Army of Deviants’ members: "..."
"Whether you want it or not!"
Cao Cao was momentarily stunned, then swung his sword, slashing out over a hundred Sword Qi, annihilating all ’Army of Deviants’ members.
Holy blood dyed the starry sky red.
Inside the Great Wall, Qin Wudao and many ministers looked nostalgic; once, Saint Realm experts were still unattainable in their eyes.
Now, they could be killed easily, like slaughtering chickens and sheep.
"Qin Dynasty has grown strong!"
Looking at the blood-stained starry sky, Qin Wudao’s lips curled into a smile.
Yet he wasn’t arrogant; because the enemies of the Qin Dynasty have also grown stronger, even stronger than Qin Dynasty.
...
"Did we win?"
Inside the Purple Mist Palace, Hongjun noticed the cosmic clash outside the myriad realms had ended. Without opening his eyes, he softly whispered a sentence.
As though he wasn’t surprised at Qin Dynasty’s victory.
He knew that just a clone of a rule domain expert couldn’t defeat Qin Dynasty.
This power rising from the ’Mortal Realm’ was stronger and more mysterious than he imagined!
...
Beyond the Xuan Universe.
Still the vast cosmos.
Across dozens of low-level universes lies the center among surrounding universes, the Tianhe Universe!
This was an incredibly vast universe; even a martial artist of immortal rank could not traverse this universe in their lifetime.
Looking down from higher-ranking universes, one would see the Tianhe Universe at the center, surrounded by hundreds of lower-level universes, with starlight shining brilliantly, incredibly prosperous.
The feeling was akin to a city in the mortal world, surrounded by numerous towns.
South of the Tianhe Universe, there is an ancient battlefield.
Cold yin wind swept across the starry sky, bringing death.
In this starry sky, everywhere were scarred war fortresses, as well as broken weapons, limbs scattered around...
Within one war fortress, hundreds of martial artists sat on the black-red ground, eyes closed, with a white stone placed before them, emitting Yuan Qi.
Suddenly, one of them opened his eyes, shooting out two streams of black Qi, piercing through the void.
He was the demonic clan’s ancestor!
"What’s up, Captain?"
A martial artist beside him asked curiously.
"Nothing!"
The demonic ancestor shook his head, smiling and saying, "Keep cultivating; I’m going to meet the leader!"
With that, he stood up and flew out of the war fortress.
An hour later.
The demonic ancestor flew into another war fortress, showing respect as he bent over to enter.
Inside the fortress, a middle-aged man in luxurious attire, with a noble aura, upon seeing the demonic ancestor, asked, "What’s the matter?"
"Leader, I wish to return to Xuan Universe; my clan in Xuan Universe is facing danger!"
The demonic ancestor saluted respectfully.
"Go ahead!"
The middle-aged man thought for a moment, then took out a golden token with the word ’Shangguan’ on it, and handed it to the demonic ancestor.
"Thank you, Leader!"
The demonic ancestor accepted the token, saluted once more, and slowly left.
Upon leaving the war fortress, a cold smile appeared on his face as he transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the Xuan Universe.
"Hongmeng Purple Qi!"
"If I can find the Hongmeng Purple Qi and present it to the Shangguan Family..."
The demonic ancestor contemplated this, a gleam of fervor and ecstatic delight flashing in his deep eyes.
Treasure that can help one break through to a Dao Saint is extremely precious, even in the Tianhe Universe, very rare.
If there is enough Hongmeng Purple Qi in the myriad realms, after presenting it to the Shangguan Family, he would surely receive ample rewards, possibly even obtaining higher-level cultivation techniques.
Thinking of this, he instinctively accelerated his speed.
