215. Chapter 215 Something Is Wrong With This Demon Saint!
Chapter 215: Something's Wrong with this Yao Saint!
In an instant, the entire federation and all the ancient sects were thrown into chaos!
No one expected it.
The first saint to return to this realm turned out to be the Yao Saint of Xian'ao Island!
Throughout the ancient era, a total of sixty-eight saints were born in this world, and apart from the Yao Saint of Xian'ao Island, the other sixty-seven were all human!
It can be said without reservation that human cultivators were the protagonists of the ancient era!
The only saint of the spirit race was also far inferior in strength to the Primordial Saints, the Yin-Yang Saints, and the Kong Saints of the Heaven and Earth Academy!
But why is it that the first saint to return to this realm is not one of those powerful true saints, but the only exceptional Yao Saint among all the saints?
This result is hard for many ancient sect cultivators to accept.
Only the spirits and great demons of Xian'ao Island were cheering and being extremely proud.
As for Liu Zimo, in order to be cautious, he had already activated his invisibility technique and used the Yin-Yang Laws to conceal himself, so as not to attract the attention of the Yao Saint of Xian'ao Island.
"Hahaha!"
"Feng Jiuer, this saint did not misjudge you!"
In the void, a young man radiating pure white holy light calmly appeared from the phenomenon of heaven and earth, looking down at the territory of Xian'ao Island and loudly praising.
"Even if you were plotted against by others and your mind was clouded by demons, you did not forget to fulfill the task this saint entrusted to you!"
"Now, this saint has returned, and the spirit race shall prosper!"
"Later, this saint will use the supreme fortune of this realm to help you break through and become the second saint of our spirit beast clan!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiuer was so excited that she immediately knelt down and worshipped, her mind filled with excitement.
It had long realized what the demon mentioned by the ancestor was. It never doubted that when the teleportation channel opened, it was the work of the saint-level demon guarding the channel, and it had never suspected Liu Zimo.
But these things no longer mattered to it.
What it cared about and looked forward to was the ancestor's promise to help it become a saint!
After guarding for so many years and longing for so long, it was finally going to achieve success and transcendence!
"This Xian'ao Yao Saint seems to be fooling people!"
The trembling Yao Lingling, who had been scared out of its wits and had been hiding in Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness, couldn't help but speak up when it heard the words of the Yao Saint of Xian'ao Island.
"To transcend and become a saint, it depends on one's own cultivation, comprehension, and opportunities. Others cannot help at all!"
"Even if it is a saint, it is impossible to go against the heavens and help others transcend at will!"
"As for Feng Jiuer's talent, this bug knows it very well. She simply doesn't have the potential to transcend!"
Liu Zimo raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
Having controlled Feng Jiuer with the devouring spirit bug for half a year, it naturally knew everything about her very well.
Since it said that Feng Jiuer didn't have the potential to transcend, it was probably not just talking nonsense.
But why did this Xian'ao Yao Saint in the void make a promise to help Feng Jiuer transcend?
Does it really have a way to make Feng Jiuer transcend against all odds, or does it have ulterior motives and is deliberately fooling Feng Jiuer?
"But before that, there is one thing you need to do with all your might!"
The Yao Saint of Xian'ao Island spoke again, continuing, "That is, to annihilate the other sixty-seven ancient sects, kill their disciples, sever their lineages, and prevent the return of the other saints behind them!"
"In this realm, the existence of our spirit race's saint is enough. The human race is only worthy of being our spirit race's vassals!"
Huh?
Feng Jiuer was dumbfounded!
It never expected that the first thing the ancestor would do upon returning was not to kill demons, destroy the teleportation channel, or resolve the invasion crisis in this realm.
Instead, the ancestor directly aimed the butcher's knife at the ancient sects of the human race!
Is this really necessary?
For the past hundreds of thousands of years, haven't the human and spirit races been getting along quite well?
Why is the Old Ancestor suddenly wielding the butcher's knife against the Human Clan sects?
Could it be that the Old Ancestor is not afraid at all of the sixty or so Human Clan Saints standing behind those ancient sects?
In fact,
Not only was Feng Jiuer shocked and dumbfounded,
The other sixty-four ancient sects were also trembling in fear. They never expected that the newly returned Xian'ao Demon Saint would immediately target their ancient sects!
This joke seems a bit too much!
That is a true Saint Realm powerhouse. If he really has the intention to kill them, none of them can escape.
While they were racking their brains, thinking about how to deal with the current crisis,
Boom!
The Xian'ao Demon Saint suddenly waved his palm, directly smashing the Seven Kill Sect located on the northwest border into the ground.
The mountain gate was completely destroyed, and all the disciples perished, with a surge of bloodthirsty aura rising into the sky!
Whoosh!
All the disciples of the other ancient sects were in a panic!
No one expected that the Xian'ao Demon Saint was actually serious!
It actually wants to destroy all the existing ancient sects!
"He's gone mad! Gone mad!"
"The Xian'ao Demon Saint has ambitious plans. It actually wants to destroy all of our lineages and unify this realm!"
"Fellow Daoists, don't hold onto any hope. If you don't want to be individually annihilated by the Xian'ao Demon Saint, we can only unite and fight for a glimmer of hope!"
At this moment, Wu Dao Child from the Tian Di Academy exclaimed in panic.
While speaking, he didn't forget to fully activate the protective formation inside the mountain gate, and even burned his own essence blood to forcibly awaken the trace of Saint's imprint left by Sun Sheng in the sacred artifact.
Just as he finished doing all this, the giant palm of the Xian'ao Demon Saint descended from the sky.
Boom!
After a violent shock, Wu Dao Child couldn't help but cough up blood and sit down in his original position, his face pale and his breath hanging by a thread.
Although he was seriously injured, he managed to withstand that fatal palm!
The sect was not lost, the inheritance still remained!
But he knew very well that with only these tricks left by Kong Sheng, they couldn't hold on for long!
To survive and seek a way out under the pressure of the Xian'ao Demon Saint, all the ancient sects must unite and resist together!
He believed that there must be more than just Kong Sheng who left behind these tricks for their own sects!
As long as everyone reveals their trump cards and activates the self-preservation methods left by the ancient Saints in advance, they will definitely be able to hold off the Xian'ao Demon Saint.
Although it won't last long like this.
But it's better than being like the Seven Kill Sect, not even having the chance to reveal their trump cards and being directly turned into ruins!
Soon,
All the major ancient sects followed suit and activated their own sect's protective formations, while also revealing the life-saving trump cards left by their respective ancestors.
"Hmph!"
"I knew it, those old things have always been secretly guarding against me!"
Seeing that all these sect disciples had life-saving trump cards left by their ancestors, the Xian'ao Demon Saint couldn't help but sneer.
"But, man proposes, God disposes!"
"They probably never expected that this time, I would be the first to appear!"
"Hahaha! As long as I destroy the mountain gate and lineage left by them in this realm, without the attraction of the same origin aura and sufficient sect fortune, they will never be able to return to this realm in their lifetime!"
Saying that, the Xian'ao Demon Saint turned his head again and looked at the dumbfounded Feng Jiuer, sternly ordering,
"Feng Jiuer, what are you still standing there for?"
"If you want to transcend into the realm of Saints, take the disciples of the sect and deal with the remaining sixty-six..."
"Hmm? There are only sixty-three ancient sects left?"
The Xian'ao Demon Saint suddenly paused, looking extremely surprised.
"The mountain gates of the Tai Chu Dao Men, You Ming Palace, and Huo Yun Palace have all merged with the mortal cities. How did this happen?"
"Hahaha, I told you, why is it that the cultivation of Tai Chu Old Dao and You Ming Old Ghost is clearly above mine, yet I am the first one to return to this realm!"
"After all the commotion, it turns out that the Tai Chu Dao Men and You Ming Palace have long lost their lineage and inheritance!"
"It's truly a blessing from heaven. Even the Heavenly Dao is on my side. What else do you have to worry about?"
"All the spiritual tribes of Xian Ao Island, obey my command and mobilize to besiege all the ancient sects of the human race!"
After discovering that the lineage of the Tai Chu Dao Men and You Ming Palace had been completely extinguished, the aura of the Xian Ao Demon Saint became even stronger, and its mood became more relaxed!
With the last worry gone, what else does it have to be concerned about?
Next, it only needs to manipulate the disciples of Xian Ao Island and gradually consume all the protective formations and trump cards of the major sects!
With it here, the remaining human ancestral saints will never be able to return to their homeland in this lifetime!
Swish!
With a command from the Xian Ao Saint, all the disciples on Xian Ao Island, including Feng Jiuer who had already reached the peak quasi-saint realm, uncontrollably flew towards the nearest ancient sect headquarters!
At this moment.
Liu Zimo, who had been hiding in the dark, was also unsure how to handle the unconventional actions of the Xian Ao Demon Saint.
He had thought that after the Xian Ao Demon Saint's failed attack, it would soon reveal its true form and come to seek revenge against him and Yao Lingling.
However, he never expected that after its emergence, the Xian Ao Demon Saint seemed to completely forget the strand of divine intent it had projected to chase after Yao Lingling.
Instead, it focused all its attention on dealing with the ancient sects, and even directly annihilated the Seven Kill Sect!
"Dog bites dog, what a mess!"
"I never thought that there would be infighting among these ancient sects!"
"It can be seen that the relationship between these ancient sects is not as harmonious and friendly as imagined."
"However, this Xian Ao Demon Saint is being too bold, wanting to annihilate all the ancient sects, prevent other saints from returning, and then dominate the entire Earth Realm!"
Liu Zimo shook his head slightly.
As a member of the human race, he naturally couldn't accept a situation where a group of spirit beasts ruled over this world.
If that were the case, with the demons as masters and humans as servants, what would be the difference from this realm being invaded and ruled by the Illusionary Demon Realm?
"Your good brother Yao Zhao had a stroke of bad luck and suffered from continuous disasters. He was struck by the Xian Ao Demon Saint's palm, his vitality was cut off, and he died on the spot, his soul returning to the heavens!"
"The 'Stealing Heaven' innate talent passive has been triggered, and you have inherited half of the remaining gifts left by your good brother Yao Zhao before his death!"
"Life Law Fragments +10, Wind Law Fragments +10, Seven Kill Sword Technique +500, Martial Dao cultivation +2000, Spiritual Power +2000, Soul Strength +2000."
"Your good brother Yao Zhao has gone offline, currently available for binding (99/100)."
"..."
"Your good brother Xu Yinglong has gone offline, currently available for binding (95/100)."
At this moment, Liu Zimo's ears were filled with consecutive prompt sounds.
These were the opportunities and benefits brought to Liu Zimo by the Xian Ao Demon Saint's destruction of the Seven Kill Sect and the dozens of disciples within it.
Unfortunately, Liu Zimo's capacity for binding was limited. He had only bound the five disciples with the highest cultivation and talent within the Seven Kill Sect.
Otherwise, the simultaneous death of more than ten Godly Realm and quasi-saint realm cultivators would undoubtedly cause Liu Zimo's cultivation to once again explosively increase.
However, even so, the fall of the five quasi-saints from the Seven Kill Sect and the sharing of half of their cultivation realm inheritance greatly enhanced Liu Zimo's strength.
At least, it brought him much closer to the bottleneck of entering the Saint realm.
The surge in power also gave Liu Zimo more confidence.
However, he didn't become arrogant to the point of wanting to confront the Xian Ao Demon Saint or slaughter saints. Such thoughts flashed through his mind and then disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, he still quietly observed from the shadows, without any intention of getting involved.
After all, those ancient sects were not good people either. Even if they were all annihilated, it wouldn't matter.
As long as the flames of war didn't reach him, didn't reach Da Xia Kingdom, what did it have to do with him?
Of course, more importantly.
In Liu Zimo's opinion, those ancient sects were far from being at their wits' end.
Among the sixty-three mountain gates, it seems that all of them have treasures similar to the holy-grade talismans that Wan Kun Demon Lord carried in the past.
In a short period of time, even if Xian Ao Demon Saint personally made a move, there was no way to directly end the battle.
"These old guys all seem to have powerful hidden cards and killer moves!"
"Fortunately, I didn't completely exterminate them back then. Otherwise, if I had pushed them to the limit and all the sects joined forces against me, I might not have been able to escape unscathed!"
Looking at the ancient sects' means of resisting Holy Realm experts from a distance, Liu Zimo couldn't help but sigh.
It turns out that these people really have killer moves comparable to true saints!
"In that case, Tai Chu Dao Men and Fire Cloud Palace should also have similar hidden cards!"
With a thought, Liu Zimo instantly took out all the spiritual treasures he had collected after annihilating Tai Chu Dao Men and Fire Cloud Palace.
The hidden cards of the Netherworld Hall had always been worn by Wan Kun Demon Lord. When Liu Zimo used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to kill Wan Kun Demon Lord, the saint-grade talisman had already been passively activated and consumed.
However, when he dealt with Tai Chu Dao Men and Fire Cloud Palace, he did not encounter any backlash from similar holy artifacts.
What does this mean?
It means that the saints and ancestors of Tai Chu Dao Men and Fire Cloud Palace, who left behind their hidden cards for their younger disciples, are most likely still intact!
Excitedly, Liu Zimo began to search for treasures among the many spoils, paying no attention to the intense battle that was already raging outside.
However, he would often hear some prompt sounds in his ears:
"Your spiritual pet Zhu Wan Nian had a string of bad luck and suffered calamities. He was beheaded by a human cultivator and died on the spot, his soul returning to the heavens!"
"The 'Heaven Stealing' innate talent attribute has been triggered passively. You have inherited half of the remaining gifts left by the spiritual beast Zhu Wan Nian before his death. Spirit Pig Blood +1000, Spirit Pig Meat +500, Physical Cultivation +1000, Spiritual Power +1000, Soul Strength +1000."
"Your spiritual pet Zhu Wan Nian has gone offline. You can currently bind a spiritual beast (71/100)."
"Your good brother Qin San Cai had a string of bad luck and suffered calamities. He was struck by Feng Jiu Er's palm, his vitality cut off, and he died on the spot, his soul returning to the heavens!"
"The 'Heaven Stealing' innate talent attribute has been triggered..."
"..."
In battle, there are no immortal beings.
Whether it was those ancient cultivators or the spiritual beasts on Xian Ao Island, they all suffered injuries.
And correspondingly, those who were previously successfully bound by Liu Zimo, whether they are humans or spirit beasts, after their demise, they will all provide Liu Zimo with a massive amount of cultivation legacy.
Therefore, even if he hides and does nothing, Liu Zimo's cultivation strength is constantly and rapidly increasing.
"Master, have you noticed that the Xian'ao Demon Saint seems a bit off?"
Yao Lingling, who has been closely following the sect battle, suddenly spoke to Liu Zimo through a voice transmission, reminding him.
"As a supreme existence at the Holy Realm, how could it be stopped by some Saint-grade treasures or sect formations?"
"A True Saint, in my inherited memories, is a powerhouse who has mastered at least three complete Great Dao Laws in a certain realm, incredibly powerful. How could it be restrained by inanimate objects?!"
"But look at this Xian'ao Demon Saint. Apart from obliterating the Seven Kill Sect with a single palm when it first returned, it only displayed a hint of Holy Realm power."
"After that, all of its attacks no longer had the invincible might it had at the beginning."
"Moreover, it handed over the main task of attacking the ancient sects to the group of spirit beasts on Xian'ao Island, treating them as cannon fodder!"
"A true Holy Realm powerhouse, although ruthless, would never be so vague and indecisive when it's time to make a move!"
At this point, Yao Lingling suddenly raised her voice.
"So, I have reason to suspect that this Xian'ao Demon Saint hasn't fully restored its True Saint strength!"
"Or perhaps, its power in this realm seems to be greatly suppressed and restricted, unable to fully exert itself!"
"Just like... how the Devouring Spirit Ancestor has never dared to directly descend into this realm from the teleportation channel. The Great Dao Laws of this realm have not been fully opened, lacking in spiritual charm, and cannot accommodate the full power of a True Saint."
"Therefore, all True Saints who forcefully descend into this realm will be forcibly downgraded by the Great Dao Laws of this realm, imprisoning the part of their transcendent power that exceeds this realm, to ensure the normal operation of the Great Dao Laws of this realm!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zimo raised an eyebrow and responded in a probing tone.
"Are you saying that the Xian'ao Demon Saint's power is also limited by the Great Dao Laws of the Earth Realm, and it cannot exert its true Holy Realm strength?"
Seeing Yao Lingling nod, Liu Zimo couldn't help but lick his lips, his eyes shining.
If that's the case, then it's interesting!
Perhaps he really has a chance to go and slaughter a Demon Saint for fun!
I have something to do tonight, so this will be the only update, sorry sorry!
