Chapter 427 - 401: Ancient Celestial Demon, 12th-Tier Powerhouse!
"Haha, I have finally emerged into the world!"
"True Martial, you never imagined this, did you? Even if you suppressed me for countless ages, so what? I can still break free of the seal and emerge.
Just wait, once I regain my strength, I will overturn your Taichu Immortal Court and slaughter all the Immortal Gods across the heavens!"
The arrogant and wanton laughter shook the heavens and earth, as demonic qi surged like a flood, reaching up to the Qingming and connecting down to the Yellow Springs. The terrifying aura ravaged the surroundings, causing Master Gu Ming and the Blood Transformation Ancestor to both look grim.
True Martial!
Taichu Immortal Court!
These names were extremely unfamiliar to them.
But the word ’Immortal’ among the Immortal Gods resonated in their ears, shaking their souls.
Immortal!
Coupled with the terrifying aura of the mysterious being before them, the two couldn’t help but think of a terrifying fact.
This being before them.
Could it be the legendary Immortal?
At this moment.
The cultivators of both the Righteous and Demon Dao instinctively halted their great battle, their gazes falling on that terrifying figure, their faces full of fear and unease.
"Taichu Immortal Court!"
In the Kunlun Divine Realm, Gu Qingyang’s expression was also extremely grave. That overwhelming demonic qi, even though he was in the Cyan Yang Realm, he could feel it clearly.
Such power was terrifying to the extreme, completely beyond what the ninth level could compare.
Immediately.
Gu Qingyang activated the Eye of Heavenly Dao from a believer’s perspective to investigate.
In an instant.
The information about the other party appeared in his view.
Name: Xuan Yin
Essence: Ancient Celestial Demon
Level: Twelfth level perfection
Constitution: Celestial Demon Divine Body
"Twelfth level!"
Gu Qingyang’s face changed drastically.
The moment the Eye of Heavenly Dao probed the information of the other party, his mind shook intensely, and he couldn’t maintain his usually calm demeanor.
Twelfth level!
Before this.
The strongest being Gu Qingyang had seen was only a quasi-tenth level existence, like the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor and the Ancient Demon Emperor.
Normally speaking.
Nowadays, tenth level beings are extinct.
A quasi-tenth level being is considered the most powerful existence across the starry sky.
But now.
A twelfth level powerhouse appeared in his sight, how could Gu Qingyang not be shocked?
If the tenth level is an Immortal, then what level of existence is the twelfth level?
"Twelfth level!"
"To think that the Taiyuan Realm was sealing a twelfth level powerhouse!"
Gu Qingyang’s mind was shaking, his face changing, not knowing what he was contemplating.
More importantly.
The words from this person’s mouth held an extremely terrifying amount of information.
True Martial!
A being capable of suppressing a twelfth level perfection powerhouse means that the other party is very likely not just twelfth level—they could be thirteenth level or even higher.
As for the Taichu Immortal Court, it should be the faction the other party belongs to.
Immortal Gods across the heavens.
Presumably.
It means a large number of powerhouses above the tenth level.
"If there were truly a large number of Immortal Gods back then, then where did all these Immortals eventually go? Were they sealed like the Ancient Celestial Demon, or did they all fall, or are they hidden somewhere?"
A flood of confusion surged in his mind, but now Gu Qingyang had no time to think further.
The emergence of a twelfth level powerhouse might well mean his own doom.
Although Gu Qingyang had never truly seen a twelfth level powerhouse in action, he had some understanding of quasi-tenth level powerhouses, and beings of that level could destroy the heavens and earth, let alone anything else.
If it were a twelfth level powerhouse at its peak, even a finger could likely destroy the Taiyuan Realm.
Now, Xuan Yin’s formidable presence seemed daunting, yet it didn’t seem like he had the power of the twelfth level.
Regarding this.
Gu Qingyang had some speculation.
This twelfth level powerhouse might not be in its peak state.
"However, even if it’s not at its peak state, how much strength does this being still retain? No one can tell. The next move depends on how the Taiyuan Realm responds!"
Gu Qingyang took a deep breath, barely managing to calm himself.
At this point, he had no paths of retreat left.
The Cyan Yang Realm shared honor and disgrace with him.
No matter what.
Gu Qingyang had to defend the Cyan Yang Realm, and couldn’t let the opponent destroy it.
Thinking of this.
Gu Qingyang’s eyes turned cold and determined: "So what if it’s a twelfth level powerhouse? A twelfth level not at its peak doesn’t pose as much of a threat as imagined. The next thing depends on the hidden strengths of the Taiyuan Realm.
The emergence of such a powerhouse would surely unsettle the reincarnation Mahayana."
The Ancient Celestial Demon has emerged.
No doubt it will bring about a tremendous catastrophe.
Now.
It depends on how the other party handles this calamity.
Subsequently.
Gu Qingyang immediately relayed the news of the Ancient Celestial Demon, instructing Gu Fang and others to first withdraw the other cultivators of the Cyan Yang Divine Court from the Taiyuan Realm.
A camel that’s starved to death is still bigger than a horse.
Even a twelfth level powerhouse in extreme weakness is not something ordinary cultivators can handle.
Supposedly strong figures at the sixth or seventh level are nothing more than cannon fodder in battles of this level.
Every believer is extremely important to Gu Qingyang, and there’s no need for unnecessary sacrifice on this battlefield.
In Gu Qingyang’s eyes.
The only one in the entire Cyan Yang Divine Court who might participate in this battle is Wu Peng, who has already proven himself as the Great Emperor.
Subsequently.
Gu Qingyang turned his gaze toward the Dimensional Space.
As the Ancient Celestial Demon emerged, even the Heavenly Dao of the Taiyuan Realm seemed to suffer a strong backlash, its power dropping by another level.
Seeing this.
Gu Qingyang’s eyes lit up.
"The emergence of the Ancient Celestial Demon might not necessarily be a bad thing. If I can seize this opportunity to kill and devour the Heavenly Dao of the Taiyuan Realm, and then turn back to deal with the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Extinction Realm, I could directly integrate the foundations of both worlds in a short time.
