“It’s Rong E from the Ruthless Sect.” Zuo Lie opened his eyes, his face solemn, and spoke in a deep voice.
Han Yi’s mind went through the information about the Ruthless Sect, and he understood.
Ruthless Sect is a sect in Qianzhou and not on par with the White Jade Tower that has a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse. It is just a sect like the Xuandan Sect and the Blood God Sect, with the strongest members only in the Golden Core Stage.
“Ruthless Sect, Rong E.” Han Yi etched the appearance and name in his heart.
Since he and Zuo Lie arrived on the Immortal Boat, Han Yi had come relatively quickly. After they arrived, cultivators began to appear in the surrounding forests, including both lone cultivators and those in groups.
Among them, there were more and more Legendary Qi Cultivation cultivators. Under Zuo Lie’s introduction, Han Yi recognized more and more cultivators, especially those Legendary Qi Cultivation ones.
One month later.
Lush forests stretched endlessly into the distance, while the Emperor Demon City in the mountain ranges occasionally echoed with a demon’s roar, shaking the forests and leaving no traces of birds and beasts.
Ten people, a hundred people…
In Han Yi’s perception, there were hundreds of people, with countless more cultivators outside his perception range on either side, or sitting or standing or just arriving. Each cultivator suppressed their own aura, lest they scare away the prey.
However, everyone knew, no, not just humans, even the Demon Clan in the Emperor Demon City, that a world-shaking battle was about to begin.
The twelve branches of the Demon Clan have been summoned and gathered here.
At some moment.
In the Emperor Demon City, a beam of light suddenly shot towards the sky. The beam of light changed dramatically and its color shifted as it broke through the clouds of the mountain ranges and reached the heavens.
“The Taixu Light Pillar has appeared.”
“The Yujing Taixu Order.”
“Finally, we’ve come to this moment.”
“Kill!”
At the same time.
At the edge of a cliff, eight cultivators suddenly released their aura, stirring the mist in the mountains. The wind paused for a moment before suddenly increasing.
Han Yi looked on, his heart trembling. These eight cultivators were all Legendary Qi Cultivation cultivators, one of whom was the lady with the gigantic sword he had met in the Cang Clan.
The Saintess of Yujing Mountain.
The lady was not tall, but she dragged a terrifying silver greatsword behind her, seemingly weightless. Wherever the greatsword passed, the hard ground silently cracked open like tofu.
“It’s the legendary figure from Yujing Mountain.”
“It’s starting.”
Zuo Lie stood up, his face excited to the extreme.
“All eight of them are?” Han Yi asked doubtfully.
Zuo Lie nodded: “The legendary figures of Yujing Mountain are not limited to these eight. However, in Yujing Mountain, some think highly of themselves and believe they do not need the Yujing Taixu Order to build a First-Class Immortal Foundation. Many other Legendary cultivators are either away or in seclusion. These eight should be the ones who just happen to be available and have rushed here upon hearing the news.”
“The disciples of Yujing Mountain who enter the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm also need to spend a certain amount of sect points. However, compared to other cultivators outside, it is much easier.”
As he said this, Zuo Lie dismissed the envy from his eyes.
“However, it is still uncertain who the deer will die by.”
“Seven hundred years ago, a Yujing Taixu Order was obtained by a predecessor of the White Jade Tower. With this, he built a First-Class Immortal Foundation and advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage. After that, he reached the Golden Core in nine years and the Nascent Soul stage in thirty-seven years. That predecessor is now the Master of the White Cloud Tower.”
Han Yi was shocked: “That fast, nine years to reach the Golden Core?”
Zuo Lie nodded: “That’s right, nine years to reach the Golden Core. It’s not ninety years, it’s too terrifying.”
“After building a First-Class Immortal Foundation, the Master underwent a transformation and embarked on the ever-lasting Immortal Path.”
“So, Daoist Han, this is not only a struggle for the Yujing Taixu Order, but also a struggle for the Immortal Path.”
“The battle of the Immortal Path shows no mercy.”
Zuo Lie no longer looked at Han Yi. He moved forward, descended the mountain, and his figure flickered as he rushed toward Emperor Demon City.
Not only him, at this moment, from outside the mountain ranges, an endless number of cultivators jumped out of the forests.
Among them, there were those who Han Yi had seen and those he had not, those he knew and those he did not.
Within sight, there were Sword Immortals, battle flags, blood robes, poleaxes, and giant knives…
The murderous intent emerged from the forest like a substance, spreading toward the mountain ranges.
Rumble!!
In the far distance, at the Emperor Demon City nestled among the mountains like an ancient behemoth, the city gates burst open.
A seven-meter-tall demon clad in black armor emerged, like a giant supporting the sky. As he stepped out of the large gate, he carried an ancient bronze sword on his shoulder, while behind him, the demon army surged out like a dark tide.
Thump!
A dull sound of war drums suddenly resounded from the city walls.
Thump, thump…
The sound of war drums echoed, one louder than the other, faster and faster. The sound made the demonic blood in the demons’ veins boil and their bodies shudder with fury; their fighting spirit soared. For the cultivators who were charging toward them, their hearts sank as if a force of a thousand pounds weighed them down.
Kill!!!
Heat surged in Han Yi’s heart as this scene seemed like an imaginary immortal-demon battle.
Vast and brutal.
Unlike a real immortal-demon battle, in this fight, the human cultivators possessed immortal bodies.
At first, Han Yi had some concerns; the artifacts he brought could be destroyed or lost during the battle or if they were not taken back into his storage bag before he was killed, they would be considered lost once he returned to the Taixu Illusionary Realm.
That was his concern, but he also knew that once he entered the Cave Heaven world, nothing was certain.
At this moment, Han Yi suddenly understood what Zuo Lie meant by showing no mercy in the Immortal Path struggle.
Not showing mercy meant not showing mercy to the different races, nor to other cultivators, and not even to oneself.
Only by going all out could one claim not to hold back.
Han Yi regretted not bringing the Golden Light Shuttle with him, which would have let him reach his peak combat strength.
At times, he had to admit that his thinking was a little narrow.
However, nobody’s perfect, and no one could cover all grounds.
As things stood now, if Han Yi died and returned to the Chi Mang Tribe, it would be too late to come back to Emperor Demon City.
At this moment.
Looking down from above, one could see the ancient city nestled in the dark mountains with its gates wide open. A seven-meter-tall demon with an ancient bronze sword emerged. Behind him, countless demons rushed out from both sides, spreading out…
And from the forest, a little over two thousand human cultivators charged out, each at the Qi Cultivation Peak. Over half of them were at the Foundation Establishment stage, and among them, more than fifty were legendary cultivators.
Spirit Light and demonic figures fiercely collided at the moment of contact.
Immediately.
There was a sudden uproar of sounds: war drum beats, demonic roars, battle cries, sound explosions, the tearing of flesh and blood, and the shattering of artifacts…
At the same time.
In the deepest part of Emperor Demon City, a giant demon opened his eyes. Within his colossal, terrifying eyes, a hidden longing that had been suppressed for thousands of years appeared..
