Han Xuanji's calm voice echoed, like the judgment of the Heavenly Dao.
"Myriad Souls Return to the Void—Die for me!"
Above the Nine Heavens, the terrifying giant face that occupied most of the sky suddenly opened its abyss-like maw.
An indescribably terrifying suction force erupted!
This was not only directed at Han Xuanji alone, but a world-ending crisis that covered the entire Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect, and even its entire city.
"No—Old Ancestor, spare me!"
"My Cultivation… my Lifespan!"
"Ah!!!"
Below, countless Disciples and Elders of the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect, regardless of their Cultivation level, wailed at this moment.
Their protective spiritual light shattered like paper, and the essence blood, spiritual power, and even Soul within their bodies transformed into visible gray Qi flows, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, being forcibly extracted from their bodies and madly surging towards that giant maw!
Even those Ascension Realm Holy Venerables discovered in horror that their proud Cultivation was completely useless.
The demonic seeds deep within their bodies trembled wildly, becoming accomplices in accelerating their consumption. Even if they desperately resisted, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; they could only watch helplessly as their meticulously cultivated Ascended Immortal Dao Fruit was mercilessly stripped away!
The bodies of many Cultivators shriveled at a visible rate, eventually turning into ashes and dissipating!
This was the Devouring Heaven Old Ancestor's ultimate killing move!
Using billions of living beings as sacrifices, he devoured all energy for his own use.
He knew that Han Xuanji was not coming with good intentions, so he used a killing move from the start, intending to bury Han Xuanji along with this continent into the Void Realm.
"Master… you are so ruthless!"
Li Wentian watched this hellish scene, his eyes splitting with rage.
The white-haired old man and other Ascended Immortal powerhouses whose demonic seeds had just been removed were even more ashen-faced. If Han Xuanji hadn't severed their connection with the Demonic Technique, they would undoubtedly be among the devoured torrent at this moment.
Even so, the terrifying suction force made them feel like fallen leaves in a fierce wind, almost torn to shreds.
"Old Demon! May you die a horrible death!"
The white-haired old man roared, but his voice was drowned out by the howling of the devouring force.
This demonic palace contained not only Disciples of the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect but also prisoners of war from the Demonic Sect.
Han Xuanji stood at the very center of this devouring storm, his robes fluttering, yet he remained as unmoving as an ancient boulder.
However, he could still feel a terrifying suction force attempting to devour him.
He looked up at the giant maw that devoured all things, his heavy pupils swirling with brilliant light, reflecting the scene of countless wailing and perishing beings, and also reflecting the twisted and insane will of the Devouring Heaven Old Ancestor deep within.
[Devouring Heaven Old Ancestor: Ascension Realm Ninth Layer (Ninth-tier Demon Race), originally an ordinary Demon Race being from the Evernight Demon Realm, obtained a Legacy from a Demon Race great power, was hunted by the Evernight Demon Race, and accidentally escaped to the Taixu Spirit Realm through a spatial passage. He knows that you removed the demonic seed from Li Wentian's body and hates you to the bone.]
"So it's the Demon Race…"
Han Xuanji's heart stirred, and he understood this fellow's Origin.
The Demon Race and Demonic Cultivators are still somewhat different. Demonic Cultivators only practice the Demonic Path, but after Ascension, they will ascend to a certain Demon Realm in the Upper Realm, just like the Demon Race.
Since it's the Demon Race.
Then it will be even easier to handle.
"Suppress!"
With a soft shout from Han Xuanji, as he flipped his palm, two ancient and heavy Immortal Artifacts suddenly appeared in the Void Realm.
One was entirely golden, exuding a brilliant righteous Qi that suppressed all evil; the other flowed with azure light, with Dragon-shaped patterns coiling like living creatures, and a true Dragon phantom manifesting upon it.
These were precisely the High Grade Immortal Artifacts: the demon suppression seal and the Azure Dragon Imperial Seal!
These two Immortal Artifacts possessed immense power.
He hadn't easily used them before, not because the Immortal Artifacts weren't strong enough, but because the opponents he had encountered previously were not worthy of him bringing out such treasures.
Now, facing the Devouring Heaven Old Ancestor's world-destroying "Myriad Souls Return to the Void," Han Xuanji also felt that he should take it seriously.
The two seals came out simultaneously, reflecting each other!
"Boom—!"
Two terrifying great seals, exuding vast immortal might, slammed down fiercely.
Heaven and Earth groaned under the immense pressure.
The terrifying giant face that covered the sky and sought to devour all things twisted violently under the illumination and suppression of the two Immortal Artifacts' divine light.
The next second, the giant face shattered.
The Devouring Heaven Old Ancestor let out an incredulous roar:
"What kind of treasure is this? Impossible!"
At this moment, fear had arisen in his heart; this power completely countered him.
"Such petty tricks, yet you dare to show off before an expert?"
Han Xuanji stood at the center of the storm, appearing like an immortal god in the divine light.
He raised his hands as if holding the sun, moon, and universe.
As his words fell, spiritual energy was transmitted, and the demon suppression seal suddenly expanded, transforming into an ancient divine mountain radiating golden light, carrying the immense power to purify all evil demons, and fiercely suppressing the demonic palace where the Devouring Heaven Old Ancestor's true body resided!
At the same time, the Azure Dragon Imperial Seal shone brightly, and the coiling Azure Dragon phantom let out a Dragon's roar that shook the Nine Heavens.
The Azure Dragon Imperial Seal did not directly collide but hung high in the sky, and the mountains, rivers, and myriad spirit phantoms flowing on its body suddenly became clear and solid.
A vast and boundless aura surged forth, carrying the will of humanity, like an invisible Heavenly Net, instantly enveloping the entire Devouring Heaven Holy City.
With the blessing of human Luck, Han Xuanji's use of the Azure Dragon Imperial Seal was twice the result with half the effort, exerting far more power than he had imagined.
"Ah!!!"
A mournful shriek erupted from the depths of the demonic palace.
A disheveled figure, whose aura was extremely weak, stumbled out from it—it was the Devouring Heaven Old Ancestor's true body.
He could no longer maintain his previous powerful state, his hair disheveled and his robes torn.
The Devouring Heaven Old Ancestor stared fixedly at Han Xuanji, his eyes filled with venomous hatred and despair.
Han Xuanji also wasted no words; after a Soul search, he directly gave the opponent a quick end.
The divine light of his heavy pupils completely annihilated him, leaving no trace.
Above the ruins, the surviving Cultivators, including Li Wentian, looked at the figure standing alone in the Void Realm, their eyes filled with boundless awe.
Is it over?
That existence, which had haunted them like a nightmare for countless years, was just… gone?
"It seems there might be quite a few hidden Demon Race members in this world."
Han Xuanji thought to himself.
Based on some of the Devouring Heaven Old Ancestor's memories, it was clear that this guy was quite clever. He guessed that many great Cultivators in the Nine Provinces were preoccupied with suppressing the Demon Abyss and had no energy to deal with him. What he sought was to obtain infinite Luck after refining Li Wentian, combined with absorbing the Origin of countless Cultivators, to help him break through to a higher Realm and become a true Demon Ascending to the Upper Realm.
…
With the death of the Devouring Heaven Old Ancestor, the other Cultivators of the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect naturally posed no threat.
The Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect's rule quickly collapsed.
Han Xuanji didn't bother with too much; those who deserved to die were killed.
The Ascension Realm experts who had previously been trapped in the dungeon were originally the Old Ancestors of many Immortal Sects on the Lin Yuan Continent. They naturally knew who should die and who should not.
Many people practiced the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, but most of them had not mastered the true secret methods, so they were not completely wiped out. They only needed to abolish their Cultivation Technique and switch to another.
However, none of the Holy Venerables who had mastered the secret methods were spared.
From then on, the Lin Yuan Continent also entered a period of peace.
Han Xuanji was revered like a god, known as Immortal Venerable Han, the saviour from suffering.
The Old Ancestors of many Immortal Sects wished they could enshrine Han Xuanji.
However, Han Xuanji was not in a hurry to return. He began to sign in at various Immortal Sects and Holy Lands on the Lin Yuan Continent.
In a blink of an eye.
Ten years had passed.
