The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 986
Chapter 986 Diabolism Concludes
“Is Myriad Devil Dynasty going to fail?” Li Qing whispered to himself and sighed softly, “Forget it. If you fail, then you will fail. Why not return the Five Regions of the World to Righteous path?”
After so many years of observation, he had long discovered that Diabolism was simply not suitable for ruling the human world. It would only cause great calamity to the people.
Even if Li Qing could use his tyrannical strength to suppress everyone in the world, it still couldn’t change people’s minds.
Diabolism had long since lost the hearts of the people.
Li Qing didn’t have much lingering nostalgia for this supreme position. That position was too lonely, and it was extremely cold at high altitudes. He already had the thought of escaping in his heart.
The destruction of Myriad Devil Dynasty was an inevitable result of history. Li Qing did not plan to save him.
In any case, Diabolism had the Myriad Devil Palace as a path of retreat. Even if they couldn’t defeat Righteous path, most people’s lives could still be saved. There was no need to worry too much.
The lightning in the Heavenly Thunder Pagoda became more and more powerful. Li Qing even had an illusion that a true tenth heavenly tribulation had descended.
Over the years, the Heavenly Thunder Pagoda had continuously drawn lightning down from the void, causing the area of the nearby thunderstorm ocean to become larger and larger. To this day, it had already reached a distance of 10,000 kilometers, forming a true sea of lightning.
Righteous path had unwittingly created such a world-shaking land. This was no longer their original intention. Instead, it was the help of the heavens and earth, as if they were helping to kill a peerless great devil like Li Qing.
Li Qing had endured hundreds of years of lightning strikes in the Heavenly Thunder Pagoda. It was as if he was undergoing tribulation at all times. His body was becoming more and more adapted to the power of the tenth level of heavenly tribulation.
Although it was a calamity, it was also an opportunity. As long as he could survive, he would obtain extraordinary benefits.
It could be said that Li Qing had passed the first half of the tenth stage of the Heavenly Tribulation and had already surpassed the scope of the Nine Tribulations. He could be said to be a half-step Ten Tribulations expert.
This would lay a good foundation for him to overcome the tenth level of heavenly tribulation in the future.
Coupled with the tyrannical strength that Li Qing originally possessed, he was ranked at the top of the supreme being ranks. Perhaps he really had a chance to overcome this greatest calamity since the ancient times.
…
The battle in Tian Yuan City continued, but Myriad Devil Dynasty was still unable to wait for Li Qing’s return.
After fighting this war for decades, Myriad Devil Dynasty’s resilience had exceeded his imagination. He refused to give up, thinking that if he waited for a while longer, the Demon Emperor might return.
The number of troops the two sides had invested in was unprecedentedly large, ranking high in history. It could be said to be the most tragic battle in tens of thousands of years, with countless casualties.
In the end, the Righteous path won. Chang Wudi held onto the Primordial Chaos Limitless Diagram and broke through the defenses of the Heavenly Origin City, tearing apart the ancient city.
Most of Myriad Devil Dynasty’s men left Myriad Devil Palace and disappeared into the vast land.
After that, the Diabolism Dynasty, which had ruled the five regions of the world for nearly a thousand years, came to an end.
As the only Righteous path Dynasty that defeated Diabolism and ruled the world in the past hundred thousand years, although the duration was short, it was as resplendent as a meteor, leaving behind countless legends for later generations.
Of course, although Diabolism was defeated, it still possessed extremely tyrannical strength. Especially the six great disciples of Demon Emperor Li Qing. Each of them was a peerless genius with unparalleled combat strength, causing great trouble for Righteous path.
On the other hand, the Seven-Colored Immortal Phoenix, Stone Monkey, Cloud Demon, and Golden Winged Roc were all extremely respected bloodlines within the demon race. They ruled over thousands of demon races, and their strength could not be underestimated.
After Diabolism’s defeat, the demons were unable to survive in the lands of the Five Regions. Therefore, they retreated to the spiritual sea and turned it into a lair for the demons.
“Li Qing, where did you get so many freaks? All of them are peerless prodigies, causing the world to be restless.” Chang Wudi muttered to himself.
“There’s nothing I can do. They’re all related to Li Qing. Either they’re Li Qing’s disciples or the demons that Li Qing subdued. They might have imparted some heaven-defying cultivation technique, but it might not be any worse than yours.”
“Sigh, even though Li Qing is dead, he is endlessly poisonous. I wonder when we will be able to calm down these calamities!” Someone sighed.
In their imagination, Li Qing hadn’t come out for so many years, not even the destruction of Myriad Devil Dynasty. He must have died in the Heavenly Thunder Pagoda.
Especially since the thunderstorm ocean around the Heavenly Thunder Tower was so terrifying, and the outer region was still like this. One could imagine what kind of power there was in the center. Even Li Qing would not be able to last for that long. Therefore, most people believed that Li Qing had already perished.
“Wait slowly. In a few thousand years or even tens of thousands of years, when this generation grows old, they will return to normal.”
At a normal level, how could there be so many Dao Realm Seven Tribulations, Dao Realm Eight Tribulations experts? Back then, Emperor Hong Wu was already invincible under the heavens after crossing the seventh heavenly tribulation, let alone the Eight Tribulations of the Realm.
Right now, it was obviously because of Li Qing that the top major powers were showing a trend of blowout. After ten thousand years, this generation would gradually die, and it should be able to almost eliminate the impact brought about by Li Qing.
Perhaps in the future, many Dao Realm powerhouses in this era would become legendary figures and be admired by the world. It was precisely because of their persistence that they finally defeated the invincible Demon Emperor and saved the people in the midst of fire and water.
The Myriad Devil Sect elected the Seven Night Devil Sovereign as its new Devil Master. It opened the post-Devil Emperor era and continued to engage in endless battles with the Righteous path.
Ancient Desolate Lord felt that it was boring. He left the Great Thousand Worlds on the Ancient Desolate Warship and hid in the depths of the starry sky, searching for the other side of the legendary starry sky. He never came back.
Li Qing’s daughter, Li You Yue, accompanied her husband, who was Li Qing’s fifth disciple, Chen Jing, and lived in seclusion in the Azure Willow Restaurant in Heavenly Language City, living an ordinary life.
No one dared to cause trouble for Li You Yue. After all, her father was the supreme Demon Emperor. His divine might covered the entire universe. Even though he had been deemed dead in the sea of lightning, the remaining might still intimidated the world, preventing the younger generation from acting rashly.
Another Dao Realm Eight Tribulations expert, the Ice and Snow Queen, chose to sleep again, sealing herself in the bottom of the well of the Frost Source.
“I will continue to live … until the day you return!” Her voice faded away in the wind.
In this way, the situation gradually calmed down. After many years of recuperation, the Righteous path gradually regained its prosperity. One expert after another sprang up like bamboo shoots after a rain, filling the void left behind by the war.
The invincible Demon Emperor never appeared again, as if he had truly fallen into the sea of lightning. This time, the Righteous path major powers were completely relieved. The most terrifying demonic tribulation in history had finally completely passed, and humanity would usher in a new chapter.
It was unknown how many years had passed. The sea of lightning in the depths of the void had already extended to 100,000 kilometers. Endless lightning energy wreaked havoc in the starry sky, becoming a wondrous sight in the universe.
Rumble!
At this moment, the boundless sea of lightning suddenly fluctuated violently. The lightning was like a tidal wave, shattering everything. It was incomparably blazing, illuminating the dark void and turning it into a vast expanse of purple.
Lightning waves filled the sky, connecting the heavens and the earth. It was incomparably vast, like a galaxy pouring down from the nine heavens, as if millions of stars had smashed down.
Such a terrifying movement could even be felt by the earth of the Five Regions. Many Dao Realm experts opened their eyes and used various methods to pierce through the void to see the scene of the lightning sea in the depths of the void.
“What’s going on? Why would the Void Lightning Sea suddenly riot?”
“I’m not sure. This place has long since left our control. We can’t even get close to the edge of the Thunder Sea.”
“Could it be that Li Qing isn’t dead yet? Is he breaking the restriction of the Lightning Sea?”
“Impossible! I don’t believe he can survive in such a terrifying sea of lightning!”
The divine will of powerful beings was communicating through the air.
At this moment, they were also nervous. If Li Qing really wasn’t dead, then it would be their turn to die!
A supreme Dao Realm expert stared fixedly at the center of the Void Lightning Sea. It had already turned into a chaos and was pierced through the void by endless lightning. He simply couldn’t see what was happening inside.
After an unknown amount of time, a blurry figure suddenly exploded in the center. An unstoppable aura filled the air, as if it had crossed space and time from the Primeval Era and once again descended upon the heavens and earth!
Even though it was just a shadow, the supreme pressure contained within was extremely terrifying. Even in the boundless distant Great Thousand Worlds, many Dao Realm experts still felt an urge to submit.
The blurry shadow gradually solidified and appeared, revealing its true appearance. A head of black hair danced about, looking down at the starry sky, looking down at the heavens and earth.
“It’s really Li Qing!” The expressions of the Dao Realm experts were terrified, and their faces were ashen.
“This is over …” They muttered to themselves in a daze.
“Demon Emperor Majesty has indeed returned!” In Myriad Devil Palace, many Dao Realm experts sensed this aura as well, and their faces were filled with excitement.
“Haha, I knew that Demon Emperor Majesty wouldn’t die so easily! So what if Righteous path seized the world again? Isn’t he as weak as an ant in front of Majesty?”
Li Qing stood in the void and looked at everything in the Great Thousand Worlds. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of loneliness in the heart of the earth and whispered to himself, “What’s the point of fighting for dominance over the world? In the face of the river of time, it will eventually turn into ashes. Ke’er, I’ve made you wait too long. I’ll go fetch you back now!”
At this moment, the Void Gate opened and Chang Wudi walked out. He shouted, “Li Qing, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Today, I’ll fight to the death!”
After saying that, he unfolded the Primordial Chaos Limitless Diagram in his hand and instantly covered the entire starry sky.
Chang Wudi had already passed through the eighth level of the heavenly tribulation, becoming an invincible existence under the heavens. It was no longer the same as before. The power of the Primordial Chaos Limitless Diagram was a hundred times greater than before.
