"What is that?"
Lin Potian asked in terror, it was his first time seeing such a terrifying scene.
Lu Fan also looked up, and was equally startled to see the boundless Devilish Qi rising above the inner Sect area of the Shenxuan Sect.
It wasn't just them; people from all thirteen Peaks of the Shenxuan Sect, both inner and outer Disciples, noticed this scene.
Immediately, the entire Sect erupted into chaos.
More and more Disciples ascended into the air, attempting to resist the erosion of the Devilish Qi with Spells.
"What is that?"
"Such terrifying Devilish Qi, what kind of Devil Head is attacking?"
As the Disciples discussed in horror, the Sect Master was the first to activate the grand Formation, isolating the Devilish Qi.
"Oh no, the Heavenly Demon Remnant Soul has been released."
The Demon Lord exclaimed in surprise.
"Heavenly Demon Remnant Soul?"
Lu Fan's eyes widened, and he quickly asked:
"What is the Heavenly Demon Remnant Soul's strength?"
The Demon Lord said gravely:
"Judging by this might, it's at least at the Combination Realm. Unless a Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert takes action, it will be very difficult to suppress it."
"Don't look anymore, you completely lack the ability to stop it now. When the sky falls, the taller ones must bear the burden."
.....
Meanwhile, in a city within the inner Sect of the Shenxuan Sect, an unremarkable blue-robed Cultivator frowned, sighing inwardly:
"The Spirit Realm is indeed the Spirit Realm. If such a great Devil were in the Mortal Realm, I'm afraid no one in the entire Mortal Realm would be able to resist it."
"I wonder if the Sect can resolve this trouble... otherwise, I'll have to find another place to Cultivate."
.....
On the other side.
Shi Chong didn't even glance at the few people who had fallen, as if he had merely crushed a few ants.
Turning around, his face instantly contorted into an expression of desperate grief and indignation, as he roared mournfully at the almost corporeal phantom radiating world-destroying aura: "Devil Head! How dare you harm my fellow Disciples!"
At the same time, dazzling light erupted from him, a sign that the Shenxuan Sect's Earth Rank top-grade Cultivation Technique, the "Nine Revolutions Profound Yang Art," was operating at its Peak. He became like a burning golden torch, holding a long sword, and fearlessly charged towards the Devil phantom.
Boom--!
An earth-shattering collision erupted.
The next moment.
Shi Chong was struck as if by lightning, spitting blood wildly, and was sent flying like a cannonball.
At the same time.
Several incomparably powerful figures tore through space, appearing at the outer perimeter of the Demon Suppression Abyss.
The leader was none other than the current Sect Master of the Shenxuan Sect—Xuan Weizi. Behind him followed three Peak Masters with profound auras, as well as over a dozen top experts who had been cultivating in seclusion within the Sect. At this moment, everyone's expressions were extremely grave, and they were all inwardly alarmed by the monstrous Devilish might they sensed.
One must know that they were all Returning to Void Realm Cultivators, each a renowned figure!
Yet now, they couldn't help but feel a hint of fear.
The scene of Shi Chong being sent flying was witnessed by the many Shenxuan Sect experts who had arrived in haste.
His aura was weak, and his clothes were even more tattered, making him look utterly miserable, as if he had paid a heavy price to fight against the Demon Race.
Xuan Weizi's eyes split with rage upon seeing such a "heroic" scene, and then the tragic state of Zhao Qian and the others on the ground:
"Villain! Die!"
The other Elders also attacked in unison instantly, their boundless rage transforming into various Magic Treasures and Divine Abilities, overwhelming the fierce and monstrous purple Heavenly Demon phantom!
The great battle erupted instantly!
The combined might of several Returning to Void Realm experts from the Shenxuan Sect was enough to move mountains and fill seas.
However, although the Heavenly Demon Remnant Soul had been Sealed for tens of thousands of years and its Origin Qi was greatly damaged, its essence was simply too terrifying.
The viscous, almost corporeal Devilish Qi not only contained destructive power, but also possessed the strange characteristic of eroding spiritual power and Divine Soul.
The next instant, as the Devilish Qi surged, it condensed into countless distorted Devil soldiers and Devil phantoms, emitting piercing shrieks, frantically tearing at the Elders' protective spiritual light.
Furthermore, invisible Devilish thoughts impacted them, like billions of steel needles, constantly piercing into their Sea of Consciousness, causing the several Returning Void Cultivators to suffer splitting headaches and their minds to waver, only able to exert sixty to seventy percent of their full Cultivation.
"Hehehe... Ants... No matter how many... they are still ants!"
The Heavenly Demon Remnant Soul let out a strange laugh, its huge Devil claw tearing through space. Each swing sent an Elder spitting blood and flying backward, their protective Magic Treasures wailing endlessly.
The entire Demon Suppression Abyss area completely transformed into a terrifying Devilish domain, space cracks spread like a spiderweb, the earth shattered, and Devilish Qi ran rampant.
"Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Grand Formation!"
Xuan Weizi and the other few Returning Void Cultivators instantly formed a grand Formation. Their immense spiritual power connected with the earth's ley lines, interweaving into a colossal golden light net that covered the entire Demon Suppression Abyss, enveloping the roaring Heavenly Demon Remnant Soul!
"Roar!!!"
The Heavenly Demon Remnant Soul let out an angry roar. Having just escaped, its power was naturally far from its Peak, but it still possessed the strength of the Body Integration Realm, which was not something a few Returning Void Cultivators could withstand.
Immediately.
The Devilish Qi transformed into thousands of Devil Head phantoms, fiercely colliding with the golden light net and the myriad attacks.
Although the Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Grand Formation was powerful, the people controlling the Formation were only some Returning Void and Soul Transformation Cultivators. Under the fierce collision, many of them already had blood at the corners of their mouths.
"Damn it, this Devil Head's strength is far above the Returning to Void Realm!"
Xuan Weizi's eyes were bloodshot as he frantically channeled his spiritual power.
The other Cultivators of the Shenxuan Sect also had solemn expressions, but no one was afraid.
"What if it's a Body Integration Realm? With so many of us Returning to Void Realm Cultivators working together, we may not be without a chance to fight."
A tall young man snorted coldly.
"It's a pity, if the Old Ancestors were still here, why would we let a Body Integration Realm Demon Race..."
"After the Sect's Grand Elder reaches the Body Integration Realm, they generally don't stay in the Sect; they all have to seek Immortal destiny..."
Many people also sighed.
In reality, over so many years, it was naturally impossible for the Shenxuan Sect not to have Geniuses who successfully grew up. However, generally speaking, in order to pursue higher Realms, they would not remain in the Sect.
They would either travel in the Nine Heavens or head to the overseas Immortal Cultivation world, never wasting time cultivating bitterly in the Sect. After all, a declining Shenxuan Sect could not support too many Cultivators of this level. Usually, only Old Ancestors with no hope for the future or whose Lifespan was nearing its end would return to the Sect to oversee it and spend the rest of their lives.
"Villain! How dare you!"
Suddenly, a sharp cry containing supreme majesty and monstrous rage, like a thunderclap from the Nine Heavens, exploded deep within every living being's Soul.
The sky seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand!
"The Grand Elder has acted!"
This scene made many people breathe a sigh of relief.
Han Xuanji also sensed that a Body Integration Cultivator had taken action, and he too nodded slightly.
Originally, when he saw that the situation seemed wrong, he had already prepared to act immediately.
However, since the Sect's Old Ancestor had arrived, he would not steal the limelight for now.
He just wondered if this Old Ancestor could handle it.
"Can the Shenxuan Sect really hold on?"
Little White Tiger was a little worried, feeling this powerful Devilish might, it had some doubts.
"Let's go and see first."
Han Xuanji sighed slightly.
For a more stable sign-in, Han Xuanji certainly couldn't let the Shenxuan Sect suffer heavy losses, unless an enemy so powerful that even he had no hope of defeating appeared. In that situation, he wouldn't foolishly seek death.
