"Elder Han!"
"Sword Immortal!"
Looking at the figure that had quietly appeared, Xuan Weizi and Heaven Jade Perfected Person were overjoyed, like drowning people grasping at a final piece of driftwood.
At the same time.
A hint of shock appeared on Dao Yin Venerable's face.
He actually knew that the Shenxuan Sect had produced an Ascension Realm expert, but he subconsciously hadn't paid much attention to it.
Because the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect had quite a few Ascension Realm Cultivators.
And he was only one step away from the Ascension Realm, coupled with the feeling of power expansion brought by cultivating the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Technique.
He even had a misconception.
Perhaps he could contend with the newly Ascended Immortal expert.
However, when he truly faced Han Xuanji, his heart suddenly stopped.
This was definitely an opponent he could not defeat.
Han Xuanji's gaze calmly swept over the other party, and he spoke indifferently:
"I want to see if the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect can save your dog life."
Han Xuanji's voice was calm and unperturbed, yet every word was like a pearl, striking Dao Yin Venerable's heart.
Without giving the other party a chance to speak nonsense.
Han Xuanji pointed his fingers like a sword.
As his fingertip lifted.
An invisible force condensed into a single point and line.
"No!"
Dao Yin Venerable felt an incomprehensible power, one that transcended all his understanding.
His proud cultivation was completely worthless in the face of this power.
Pfft.
A barely audible soft sound.
At the center of Dao Yin Venerable's eyebrows, there was a red dot the size of a needle tip.
However, this time, Han Xuanji did not directly extinguish his Divine Soul as well, but instead used the Soul Searching method to extract some information.
"So, quite a few people from the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect have already arrived. Currently, four Ascension Realm experts are gathered in the Eastern Sea Islands, and more will follow."
Han Xuanji said softly, then revealed the strength of the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect.
Four Ascended Immortals were just the beginning!
The Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect had twelve Saintly Extermination Sovereigns, each of whom was a strong expert in the Ascension Realm, and the Devouring Heaven Old Ancestor's cultivation was even more unfathomable, surpassing everyone else.
This was an unimaginably colossal entity.
"Ah!"
"Sword Immortal, the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect is so powerful, what should we do?"
Everyone was surprised upon hearing this. Although they had absolute confidence in Han Xuanji, the fact that this was just the tip of the iceberg of the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect's strength made them feel suffocated.
Han Xuanji saw it more clearly. If he wasn't mistaken.
It was probably because the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect knew that many experts from the Central Continent Holy Lands were going to suppress the Demonic Abyss and didn't have much energy to deal with them, which is why they dared to do this.
"If you want to leave, I won't stop you."
Han Xuanji's voice was calm, showing no emotion.
Upon hearing this.
Many people began to consider retreating.
How powerful was the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect? Four Ascended Immortals, and that was just the beginning.
Many people felt that the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect was probably stronger than the four great Holy Lands of the Central Continent.
This time, Han Xuanji did not offer any opinions and did not display absolute confidence.
He wanted the Shenxuan Sect to make its own decision.
If they wanted to leave, he naturally wouldn't stop them.
Xuan Weizi took a deep breath. He had worked so hard for so many years, finally seeing the revival of the Shenxuan Sect, only to have to flee for such a reason. This was something he could not accept.
However, even with Han Xuanji, the Sword Immortal, the gap between the Shenxuan Sect and the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect was still too vast.
He couldn't think of any solution.
Whether the Kunlun Immortal Sect and other major Central Continent Holy Lands would intervene, and whether they could resolve it, was still a mystery.
"All Elders, you have heard Elder Han's words. If you wish to leave, I will not stop you."
Xuan Weizi's voice was low:
"I will stay with the Sword Immortal and resist this so-called Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect together."
His words filled everyone with admiration.
All the Peak Masters expressed that they would live and die with the Sect.
Han Xuanji did not speak, only nodding silently.
In reality, he still had some sense of belonging to the Shenxuan Sect.
His cultivation years were not long, and most of his time was spent in the Shenxuan Sect. He was very familiar with every blade of grass and every tree here.
If it were truly gone, it would also make him displeased.
So-called cultivation was actually for freedom and ease.
His reclusiveness did not mean that his inner thoughts were not clear.
Han Xuanji looked into the distance.
What about the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect? If they displeased him, he would kill them. Even if he couldn't defeat them, couldn't he still run away?
With the Nine Heavens Star-Treading Boots and the Taixu Nine Steps, was there anyone in this world faster than him?
...
At the same time.
Eastern Sea Islands.
Storms frequently arose in this sea area, making it impossible for ordinary Cultivators to travel far out to sea.
At this moment, the sky was dim, a giant vortex slowly rotated on the sea surface, and there was a low roar in the air, like the breathing of a giant beast.
In the Void Realm, a giant island floated in the air.
In reality, this was the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect's mobile fortress.
In the center of the island, within a grand hall constructed of white jade.
Calamity Sea Sovereign sat on the main seat, with three individuals beside him, all exuding extraordinary aura, clearly Ascension Realm experts. Many Cultivators of the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect also stood in the hall. The atmosphere inside the hall did not feel the solemnity of an impending war; many people were even chatting and laughing, some looking nothing like Demonic Cultivators, with some even appearing as if they possessed an immortal aura and Dao bones.
A blue-haired young man sitting on Calamity Sea Sovereign's right hand side opened his eyes, turned his head to look at him, and said:
"Senior Brother, how many people are needed to deal with this continent?"
"Aren't the four of us enough?"
The other two Ascension Realm experts also looked over, their expressions indifferent.
In fact, after the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect ruled the Abyssal Continent, they conquered many nearby small continents, but this was the first time they had encountered a vast continent like the Nine Heavens.
Calamity Sea Sovereign slowly opened his eyes and said indifferently:
"The Nine Heavens Continent is the ancestral land of the Taixu Spirit Realm. Its foundation is profound, and we cannot be careless. If the four great Holy Lands make a move, we few might not be able to retreat unscathed."
The few people fell silent, and their inner complacency dissipated. Even Calamity Sea Sovereign, who ranked among the top four of the twelve Saintly Extermination Sovereigns, was so cautious; they dared not be arrogant.
Moreover, this was an order issued by the Devouring Heaven Old Ancestor after many years.
There was no room for error.
At this moment, a person in the hall stepped forward and said:
"Reporting to Saintly Extermination Sovereign, Dao Yin Venerable died in Dongcang Province."
"As far as I know, he went to his former Sect, attempting to lead the Sect to submit to us."
"Oh?"
Calamity Sea Sovereign raised an eyebrow and asked:
"Who did it?"
Dao Yin Venerable was his direct subordinate and had made considerable contributions to him, only to die so inexplicably.
"It is rumored that his Sect produced a Sword Immortal, who is also the only apparent Ascension Realm Cultivator in Dongcang Province. This Sword Immortal hates evil as if it were his personal enemy and is known as the Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal. It is possible that this Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal made the move."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other people in the hall couldn't help but frown, communicating secretly with their Divine Thought.
It was well known that Sword Cultivators' combat power was among the best in the same Realm. Did this Ascended Immortal Sword Cultivator seem to want to be an enemy of their Swallowing Heaven Saint Sect?
"Hmph, Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal?
What audacity! Do you really think we will just stand by and watch?"
At this moment, an Ascension Realm expert in a black robe spoke. He was also a Sword Cultivator, having cultivated the Heaven-Slaying Absolute Sword to the Major Achievement Realm.
His strongest move, Six Obliteration Swords Twenty-Three.
One sword was enough to split continents and sever oceans.
"Saintly Extermination Sovereign, what are your thoughts?"
Calamity Sea Sovereign asked.
The hall fell silent.
Saintly Extermination Sovereign said in a deep voice:
"I have a sword that can split the sun and cut the moon, sever oceans and sink rivers. How about I directly obliterate this small Sect with one sword?"
"It would serve as a good lesson for this ignorant madman and also deter the Cultivators of the Nine Heavens Continent, making them directly submit, saving unnecessary slaughter."
They were here to conquer the Cultivators of the Nine Heavens Continent, not to exterminate them.
Calamity Sea Sovereign hesitated.
