Chapter 437 - 408: The Demon Venerable Attacks
Qingyang Realm.
Northern Continent.
Suddenly, the towering bronze gate trembled slightly, then a middle-aged cultivator in a blood-black robe emerged, a terrifying aura emanating from him, causing the Azure Sky to change colors.
This change.
Immediately drew attention from all sides.
"Xuan Yin Demon Lord?"
Gu Qingyang, situated in the Kunlun Divine Realm, looked toward the Northern Continent with a peculiar expression. He hadn’t expected that at this moment, Xuan Yin Demon Lord would deliver himself here.
But on second thought, Gu Qingyang understood the other’s purpose.
"It seems this person thinks the Cyan Yang Divine Court is weak and wishes to devour the beings of the Cyan Yang Divine Court to aid in his own recovery."
Thinking of this.
Gu Qingyang’s lips curled into a cold smile.
He had worried about not finding the whereabouts of Xuan Yin Demon Lord, but unexpectedly, the latter delivered himself here.
Currently.
With Wu Peng guarding the Northern Continent, he was not worried about Xuan Yin Demon Lord causing havoc.
At this moment.
In the Northern Continent.
Xuan Yin Demon Lord’s Divine Thought expanded, quickly encompassing the entire Northern Continent, and soon he shook his head slightly.
"Is this the Qingyang Realm? It’s rather disappointing to me!"
Initially thinking that the Qingyang Realm could contend with the Taiyuan Realm, it had to be top-notch. But upon entering Qingyang Realm, Xuan Yin Demon Lord realized he had overestimated.
Although the Northern Continent had many powerful beings stationed, they were nothing remarkable.
More importantly.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here was thin.
Compared to the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the Taiyuan Realm, the difference was enormous.
With such Spiritual Qi, not to mention nurturing Ninth-tier powerhouses, even producing Eighth-tier powerhouses was exceedingly difficult, and having Seventh-tier emerge was nearly the limit.
Simultaneously.
Xuan Yin Demon Lord sensed a formidable aura in the Northern Continent.
This aura.
Surprisingly has reached the Ninth-tier level.
According to Xuan Yin Demon Lord’s thoughts, this Ninth-tier aura powerhouse should be the strongest of the Cyan Yang Divine Court.
While he was speculating, the space before him shattered, and a majestic figure stepped forward, appearing directly before him.
"Xuan Yin Demon Lord?"
Wu Peng looked at the person before him, his face involuntarily serious.
From Xuan Yin Demon Lord, he could feel a strong threat, with no doubt that the person was a top-notch powerhouse.
Elsewhere.
Xuan Yin Demon Lord also saw Wu Peng’s appearance.
The immense blood aura within the other was hidden, as dazzling as a divine sun, making Xuan Yin Demon Lord shocked, while his face showed extreme greed.
"Unexpectedly, the Cyan Yang Divine Court has a Ninth-tier Body Refining powerhouse. If I can devour the blood and qi within you, it would be more beneficial than devouring several cultivators of the same tier.
To devour you, I will surely restore to Quasi-Immortal strength, or even if less, restoring to Ninth-tier perfection won’t be a problem!"
Xuan Yin Demon Lord was indeed tempted.
Such immense blood and qi power was unmatched by other cultivators.
Even the fallen Blood Transformation Ancestor and Master Gu Ming, in Xuan Yin Demon Lord’s eyes, were not as valuable as Wu Peng.
Or perhaps.
Several Master Gu Ming and Blood Transformation Ancestor combined were not as valuable as him.
This was a common matter.
The physique of cultivators could never compare to Body Refining cultivators.
Mahayana-stage blood and qi power naturally couldn’t be compared with the power of same-tier Great Emperor.
In an instant.
Xuan Yin Demon Lord boldly attacked, trying to kill Wu Peng, who did not retreat but directly counter-attacked.
The clash between two Ninth-tier powerhouses exploded with energy that seemed to obliterate the heavens and earth, turning a hundred miles around into ruin, causing all Northern Continent cultivators witnessing this to be horrified.
Even some Seventh-tier and Eighth-tier powerhouses felt fear emerging in their hearts when confronted with this stunning wave.
At this time.
Gu Qingyang’s voice transmitted into the minds of all Northern Continent cultivators, informing them of Xuan Yin Demon Lord’s invasion and advising them to evacuate the Northern Continent first.
Immediately.
The informed cultivators fled in haste.
What a joke!
Xuan Yin Demon Lord?
This figure had stirred the Taiyuan Realm completely, and now he appeared here; if not fleeing now, when?
Soon.
The news of Xuan Yin Demon Lord’s invasion, with Wu Peng, the newly ascended Great Emperor from the Immortal King Sacred Land, confronting him in the Northern Continent spread like a whirlwind across the Cyan Yang Divine Court.
This news once released, shook the entire Cyan Yang Divine Court.
Ninth-tier powerhouses clash.
The impact is immeasurable.
Currently.
Some Eighth-tier powerhouses wanted to personally visit the Northern Continent to witness the Ninth-tier powerhouses clash.
After all, witnessing such a level of powerhouse battle might allow them to comprehend something, greatly aiding their future promotion to Ninth-tier.
Before long.
Many Eighth-tier powerhouses set out.
Meanwhile.
In the Northern Continent.
Xuan Yin Demon Lord’s demonic aura soared, overpowering Wu Peng entirely.
Though not in peak state, his strength remained at the Ninth-tier middle-grade level, while Wu Peng had just entered Ninth-tier; even as a Great Emperor powerhouse, Wu Peng appeared slightly inferior when facing Xuan Yin Demon Lord.
Bottom line.
Xuan Yin Demon Lord, as an incredibly ancient being, was once a top-tier Twelfth-tier powerhouse; his battle experience and domain of Daoist Divine Techniques could not be matched by others.
To speak bluntly.
Among the same tier, Xuan Yin Demon Lord feared no one.
If not for Yuan Shendao’s desperate fight, coupled with Xuan Yin Demon Lord’s fear, the outcome of that fight would have remained uncertain.
"Boom!"
With a palm strike, Xuan Yin Demon Lord repelled Wu Peng, causing his body’s blood and qi to churn incessantly.
"With such strength, how can you be a match for me? Surrender to death!"
Xuan Yin Demon Lord laughed loudly.
How long had it been?
He hadn’t felt as exhilarated as now.
The previous battles with Lv Chunyang and Yuan Shendao left him suffocated, and now all that fury was vented on Wu Peng.
When hearing this.
Wu Peng’s complexion turned as dark as water.
Facing Xuan Yin Demon Lord’s provocation, he had no intent to respond.
As a Ninth-tier powerhouse, Wu Peng understood his gap with Xuan Yin Demon Lord, but nonetheless, he did not fear; instead, the emperor’s blood within him began to boil, increasing his battle power.
This is the advantage of a Ninth-tier Great Emperor.
Growing stronger with every battle.
Fighting until death.
To this.
Xuan Yin Demon Lord felt only disdain.
"The weak are always weak, no matter how they burst forth, remain weak, surrender..."
Before he finished speaking, a terrifying force suddenly pressed down from the heavens, changing Xuan Yin Demon Lord’s expression dramatically.
Under this force.
Xuan Yin Demon Lord’s realm plummeted instantaneously.
From the previous Ninth-tier middle-grade, forcibly suppressed to Eighth-tier middle-grade level.
In an instant.
The situation reversed.
