Chapter 436 - 407: New Objective
Inside a certain sect, all the cultivators had turned into mummified corpses, their entire essence blood drained, and their expressions twisted and ferocious as if they had suffered extreme pain before their deaths.
In the sect’s main hall.
The vanished Demon Venerable Xuan Yin sat leisurely, surrounded by blood energy which gradually merged into his body.
The previously severed arm.
Under the nurturing of blood energy.
Had completely regrown.
However, compared to the other arm, the newly grown one appeared rather pale.
"Lv Chunyang!"
"Yuan Shendao!"
"You ants dare to treat me this way, I will never let you go. I will make all beings of the Taiyuan Realm accompany me to the grave!"
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin roared lowly, terrifying slaughter intent glowing in his blood-red eyes.
As an ancient twelfth-tier powerhouse, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
The so-called ninth-tier Mahayana, in the face of his former self, was merely an ever-so-slightly larger ant that he could crush easily. Now, suffering in front of such ants, how could Demon Venerable Xuan Yin not be furious?
Initially, Demon Venerable Xuan Yin thought that upon his emergence, he could devour the entire Taiyuan Realm and help himself regain peak status.
Unexpectedly.
Right after his emergence, he encountered setback after setback.
Currently.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin had grown somewhat cautious.
In an inconspicuous small city, there hid a supposedly Pure Yang Sword Immortal, a peak Mahayana late-stage powerhouse. Also, within the Yin Yang Demon Sect, emerged a reincarnation Mahayana.
Moreover.
Their strengths were beyond ordinary Mahayana comparison.
Even the weakest Yuan Shendao was just a step away from entering Mahayana late-stage, while Lv Chunyang nearly breached Mahayana consummation.
This caliber of powerhouses, just a step away from truly becoming Immortal.
Once transformed into Immortals.
Their realms were completely different.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin didn’t even know how many reincarnation Mahayanas remained hidden in the world.
If a few more reincarnation Mahayanas equal to Yuan Shendao and Lv Chunyang appeared, Demon Venerable Xuan Yin suspected he might get caught in his own trap.
The best approach for now.
Would be to leave the Taiyuan Realm.
In the vast starry sky, countless races and beings existed, and with his current strength, he could deal with most starry sky races, and thereby an endless supply of life essence for his consumption.
"Now that the Immortal Path is broken, and there are no Immortals in the world, once I recover my former cultivation, I can dominate the entire starry sky, and it’s not impossible to go even further.
By then, even if True Martial stood before me, I could still cut him down!"
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s eyes glowed hotly, as if already seeing himself dominating the starry sky.
But soon.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin calmed down.
The starry sky was vast.
Finding other beings wasn’t so easy.
Moreover, even if there were currently no tenth-tier or higher powerhouses in the starry sky, ninth-tier powerhouses wouldn’t be few. Just looking at a single Taiyuan Realm, with such depth, explains a lot.
Therefore.
Rashly entering the starry sky also entailed significant risks.
In the past.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin wouldn’t have cared about these risks.
But this time, many setbacks upon emergence made this Ancient Celestial Demon exercise more caution.
After a brief consideration, Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s gaze turned in a certain direction.
"Since the starry sky is temporarily unapproachable, then the Cyan Yang Divine Court might be a suitable target!"
The Cyan Yang Divine Court, a world engaged in conflict with the Taiyuan Realm, also possessed considerable strength, reportedly holding ninth-tier powerhouses.
However.
In Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s view.
The likelihood of true ninth-tier powerhouses in the Cyan Yang Divine Court was actually low.
If the Cyan Yang Divine Court truly had ninth-tier powerhouses, they wouldn’t have refrained from stepping forward to suppress the entire Taiyuan Realm.
At that time, the overtly exposed Taiyuan Realm only had eighth-tier powerhouses overseeing it.
If a ninth-tier appeared.
It could sweep everything clean.
So.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin only half-believed the rumors of a true ninth-tier powerhouse in the Cyan Yang Divine Court.
Taking a step back.
Even if the Cyan Yang Divine Court did possess ninth-tier, their strength would be limited.
Particularly now that Demon Venerable Xuan Yin received news, the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s entire army had withdrawn back to the Cyan Yang Realm, illustrating their weakness.
"Such a weak world is destined to become my nourishment."
"Once I devour the entire Cyan Yang Divine Court, my strength will surely recover significantly. Even if I can’t re-enter the tenth tier, reaching half-step tenth tier is no problem.
By then, I’ll see what a Taiyuan Realm can do to me!"
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s eyes turned cold, and in the next instant, he tore through the void, merging into it.
Moments later.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin reappeared.
He gazed at the scores of cities standing before him, devoid of any life force, proving the rumors that the Cyan Yang Divine Court had fully withdrawn were true.
Seeing this.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s mouth curved into a cold smile, his blood-red eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty light.
He gazed at the bronze gate, envisioning his massacre of the entire Cyan Yang Divine Court.
"Blame!"
"Blame your weakness!"
"Throughout history, weakness is the original sin, destined to fall by my hand..."
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin laughed coldly, stepping into the bronze gate.
Simultaneously.
Many sect cultivators secretly monitoring around the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s forces transmitted the news back the moment they saw Demon Venerable Xuan Yin appear.
All forces sought the whereabouts of Demon Venerable Xuan Yin, and now that he had appeared and entered the Cyan Yang Realm, the news once spread would cause inevitable shock.
Soon.
Various sects received the news, immediately sending people to inform Lv Chunyang and the Yin Yang Demon Sect’s Yuan Shendao.
These two were hunting Demon Venerable Xuan Yin; now that they got wind of him, naturally they must be informed.
Only these two could slay him with Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s current power.
Within the Pure Yang Sect.
The Sect Leader Daoist came before an elder in a purple robe, bowing respectfully, "Reporting to the Patriarch, the latest news: Demon Venerable Xuan Yin has entered the Cyan Yang Divine Court!"
"The Cyan Yang Divine Court!"
Lv Chunyang’s expression shifted slightly, his serene gaze deep and pensive.
After a while.
He calmly spoke, "The Cyan Yang Divine Court is also an enemy, and their forces aren’t so simple, with Demon Venerable Xuan Yin entering, it’s a clash of tigers; no need to intervene hastily.
Let them fight; later, I’ll retreat into seclusion for a while. Keep a close eye on the Cyan Yang Divine Court and Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s movements.
Report any news immediately."
After speaking.
Lv Chunyang’s figure slowly disappeared, leaving only the Pure Yang Sect Leader standing with his usual respectful demeanor.
