Chapter 528: Not Fighting the Peak Tournament, Everything Is Fine to Discuss (4K)

Looks like there's good news!

Zhang Jian thought to himself.

At this moment, ahead, the Southern Dipper Star Lords gathered their strength in unison, instantly sending most of the extradimensional demon gods away.

In the darkness, accompanied by waves of vast and majestic demonic sounds, countless purple-black demonic lights flew swiftly from beyond the void, instantly filling the void ahead.

In the depths of the void, even more terrifying demonic energy surged forth, shaking heaven and earth.

This was the demon horde of the demon realm mobilizing.

Before the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers, the Southern Dipper Star Lord had a handsome and refined jade-like countenance, clad in a purple robe, wearing a star crown on his head, yet his eyes revealed an indescribable yin and soft quality.

Gazing upon the overwhelming demonic aura covering the sky and earth, he instead revealed a faint strange smile.

"You've come at a good time; this star lord has recently lacked external merit and fortune contributions. Eliminating you demon scourges should also allow me to exchange for some good things from the Heavenly Court!"

After a slight pause, he clasped his hands and said.

"I implore the Northern Dipper Star Lords and the Nine Yang Emperor to manifest and aid me in slaying the demon horde!"

As his words echoed in the void, deep in the azure heavens above the North Pole's central heaven, a magnificent North Pole star shone brilliantly, the imperial star encircling the North Pole's central heaven, with numerous attendant stars gradually manifesting.

The light of the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper blossomed forth.

Several majestic figures condensed into form from the void.

These were the Seven Stars of the Heavenly Palace, whose bodies were surrounded by extraordinarily majestic starlight: the Star Lords of Breaking Army, Martial Arts, Cherishing Virtue, Literary Virtue, Emolument and Preservation, Giant Gate, and Greedy Wolf.

The divine power emanating from these seven Star Lords was extraordinarily majestic.

It was as if ancient primordial stars had descended into the world, infinite starlight suppressing the boundless void, as if turning the surroundings into a silver-white world.

Among them, two emanated an aura of extraordinary magnitude, having already entered the Dao Lord realm.

Gazing at this scene from afar, Zhang Jian's expression also changed slightly.

The Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper are ancient innate star deities.

It is said they have lived from ancient times until now; though the Seven Stars once suffered calamity midway, they successively underwent tribulation and returned!

With each tribulation passed, their cultivation increased, and now they are all powerful ancient gods of sequence ten or above.

Among them, the Star Lords of Martial Arts and Literary Virtue had already entered the Dao Lord realm early on.

At this moment, the Southern Dipper Star Lord Fu Yuan summoned the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper—truly a powerful reinforcement.

Besides the two Dao Lords, the other five ancient Star Lords are all above the rank of Taiyi True Immortal, even reaching the level of Taiyi Great Perfection ancient gods!

In the depths of the void, another golden great sun, like water, squeezed out from the void!

Its light illuminated heaven and earth!

This is the Sun Star Lord, the Nine Yang Emperor!

He too is a Dao Lord of the Heavenly Court!

Three Dao Lords have manifested, plus another five leading great immortals holding the fort—should be enough to suppress many powerful demons of the demon realm.

Zhang Jian found an excuse, saying he only wanted to wander around nearby; the Water Official Emperor was slightly surprised but did not stop him, and Zhang Jian's form instantly left the five's hiding place.

Following the guidance left by the Green Cloud Dao Lord, he flew toward the back of the Jade Liuli World.

With his cultivation, at this moment, a mere gesture could rend vast expanses of void.

The Yin-Yang Rainbow Light Escape Technique reached extreme speed.

In this dark void, his form and escape light moved soundlessly, flying swiftly across vast dark realms.

Shortly after, Zhang Jian's eyes fell upon a distant, majestic and vast divine stone outside the gods.

His form flashed, and instantly he landed upon the divine stone.

At this moment, upon the divine stone stood a figure whose entire body was entwined with a hazy green radiance.

This figure bore no strange omens; she seemed merely an ordinary deity.

She too was gazing toward the front of the Jade Liuli World.

At this moment, ahead of the Jade Liuli World, countless thunderclaps shook and surged, hundreds of millions of purple-black demonic lights formed countless vast purple-black spatial passages, from which numerous demon soldiers and generals leapt forth.

Most of them were terrifying demons surrounded by purple-black energy.

The purple-black demonic energy and the silver-white starlight were like opposing yin and yang, constantly colliding.

Cries of slaughter and the power of heavenly laws continually overflowed, shaking the heavens, startling and shaking the soul!

Gazing at this scene, the Green Cloud Dao Lord spoke.

"Do you know the origin of these demons?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian glanced and said.

"They should be the army of extradimensional demon gods born from the Black Abyss Demon Realm!"

Zhang Jian had heard this mentioned earlier by the Three Yuan Emperor.

The demon path has seven demon ancestors.

Of these six demon ancestors, each opened a demon realm; their individual might surpasses all heavens, causing countless void dimensions to tremble in fear, and their radiation covers vast areas.

The Black Abyss Demon Realm is one of them, containing within it the boundless malevolent thoughts of all beings in the heavens and void.

It is said that the Black Abyss Demon Realm was formed when a heavenly realm fell in the heavens and void, and within it, a supreme great god thus became one of the seven great demon ancestors.

The extradimensional demon gods are the primordial demon gods naturally born from the Black Abyss.

They are the vanguard of the Black Abyss Demon Realm devouring the heavens and void.

The Black Abyss Demon Realm is also the most aggressive of the six demon realms, even surpassing the Blood Sea Demon Ancestor in the Blood Sea Demon Realm.

Upon hearing this, the Green Cloud Dao Lord laughed and said.

"If you are to be the leader of this battle, how would you repel the Black Abyss Demon Realm's army and successfully complete the mission?"

This question carried a tone of testing.

Zhang Jian, however, shook his head and said.

I will not become the leader of this battle!

There is no "if" in this matter.

Qingxia Dao Jun glanced at him, not angry, and nodded slightly, saying.

"You are right, your wings are not yet full, it is pointless to speak more!"

"This palace summons you to give you a task, and also to bestow upon you a benefit!"

"If you can successfully complete this matter, this palace will, in the name of the Lan Tai Dao Palace, petition the heavenly court for merit on your behalf!"

Qingxia Dao Jun stood with hands behind her back, her eyes falling upon the jade liuli world sealed by deep demonic qi.

Her eyes, upon that vast immortal-demonic battlefield, regarded it as nothing!

"Please, ancestors, give guidance!"

Zhang Jian's eyes brightened.

Whenever there is a benefit, he is always enthusiastic.

Moreover, there is no need to mention that participating in such a great affair can enhance one's influence, making it convenient to enter the ancestral shrine and fleece the offerings.

However, Zhang Jian's demeanor was one of solemn righteousness.

"Three tasks: the first is your primary task, enter the jade liuli world to rescue the fallen Lotus Fairy!"

"You attended the grand court assembly, so you should know of the Lotus Fairy's reincarnation; the Lotus Fairy's reincarnation was to redeem the jade liuli world, but unfortunately she failed, falling into it herself. Once you enter, find a way to rescue her!"

Zhang Jian nodded upon hearing this.

The matter of the Lotus Fairy's reincarnation, he naturally had heard of.

It is rumored that for thousands of years, the Lotus Fairy has voluntarily volunteered to enter the jade liuli world to save the world, in order to redeem her ancestral land.

"The second task is to, as much as possible, destroy the demon realm anchor points of the Black Abyss Demon Realm within the jade liuli world; you should know of these anchor points?"

Zhang Jian nodded.

This matter, he of the Ye Men knows clearly.

Similar to the extra-territorial demon gates born in the Zhou Shan Realm, as well as the ancient demon springs, earth demon apertures, and other demonized things, all can be anchor points.

For him to destroy those, he is quite adept at it.

Qingxia Dao Jun, with a calm countenance, again said: "Third, the jade liuli world has an ancient relic, named the Lotus King Relic, left by an ancient god called the Lotus King; after his fall, he left the relic in his native place!"

"There should be a stone lotus in his relic; you shall bring it out, and this palace will naturally grant you a benefit!"

"Of course, if you complete these three tasks and have extra time, you may do other things, such as establishing the heavenly gate to guide the immortals in purifying heaven and earth, or perhaps seeking the favor of the Three Emperors' heavenly court's various holy emperors by aiding the human race in redeeming the jade liuli world..."

Zhang Jian's eyes faintly held a hint of a smile; this was an added benefit!

These three tasks seem not difficult; he accepted them!

Seeing his expression, Qingxia Dao Jun shook her head and said.

"The jade liuli world has already been anchored by the Black Abyss Demon Realm, the laws have been partially eroded; inside, there may be powerful demonic fiends hidden, or perhaps even the primordial spirit of a demon lord!"

After slight consideration, Qingxia Dao Jun again said.

"As for the demon lord's true form, it should be impossible!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian's complexion stagnated, his eyes widened; what does "should be impossible" mean?

Qingxia Dao Jun smiled slightly, her eyes falling upon Zhang Jian as she said.

"The most quintessential heaven-earth origin of the jade liuli world has already been locked upon by an ancient demon of the Black Abyss Demon Realm; based on this palace's understanding of such demon lords, they generally dare not offend him!"

A flicker of strangeness passed through Zhang Jian's eyes as he said.

"But if this junior does this, would it not be thoroughly offending that ancient demon of the Black Abyss Demon Realm?!"

Qingxia Dao Jun sneered.

"You have not offended her; even if you merely passed before her, do you think she would let you go?"

Zhang Xian nodded solemnly and said.

"Also quite right, being opposing camps, what talk is there of offending or not offending? Only the mediocre avoid offending people!"

As long as we do not now engage in peak matches, everything is fine to say.

"Go, your time is not abundant!"

Qingxia Dao Jun's eyes fell upon the jade liuli world before.

The heavenly soldiers and generals of the Central Heavenly Realm are fiercely battling the demon soldiers and generals of the Black Abyss Demon Realm, but overall, the Central Heavenly Realm holds absolute advantage.

This is also normal, after all, the Central Heavenly Realm often fights three against one, four against one, even takes on five and has done so.

Unless the six great demon realms all mobilize and join with part of the neutral forces' strong ones, perhaps they could wrestle with the Central Heavenly Realm.

Precisely because of this, Zhang Jian needs to hasten his speed.

No matter which side can win quickly, otherwise they will be pulling the jade liuli world down into the Black Abyss Demon Realm, or else they will use the world-destroying divine weapons to utterly cleanse this world, then send all its living beings into the netherworld's underworld for reincarnation.

This is the ultimate path of redemption.

To the heavenly gods, death is not an end, but a rebirth.

If one were to completely fall into the Black Abyss Demon Realm, then it would be eternal non-transmigration; living beings unable to reincarnate would continually be demonically polluted in the Black Abyss Demon Realm, becoming demon fodder, falling into the demon prison's cycle, unless one could cultivate a demon god's body to emerge, otherwise the soul would be devoured by the demon realm's strong ones, or directly digested by some terrifying creature.

Qingxia Dao Jun casually handed over a strangely beautiful immortal lotus to Zhang Jian.

"This is the Lotus Fairy's true form; with this object guiding you, you will soon find your target!"

"After finding her, you naturally know what to do!"

Zhang Jian received this immortal lotus and stored it in the River and Mountain Community Map; his expression slightly solemn, his form instantly turned into a stream of light flying toward the jade liuli world.

Light flashed once, yet saw his entire body surrounded by a flowing majestic divine light, in an instant breaking through the heavenly dao barrier of the jade liuli world, easily entering within.

That extremely resilient heavenly dao barrier, under this stream of light, was as fragile as tofu.

This scene was astonishing.

Qingxia Dao Jun calmly gazed upon this scene.

A major realm cannot normally allow immortal gods to come and go freely!

To descend, one must prepare a special descent ritual, and even select part of the primordial spirit to descend into the world.

But now, the innate abilities of heaven and earth in the Jade Glass World have all been suppressed by the Black Abyss Demon Realm, and within it, calamities are pervasive, riddled with holes, and can no longer stop immortals like Zhang Jian from entering.

This also indicates that the heavenly mandate of the Jade Glass World is about to collapse, the entire world is already on the brink of 'death', and even its most basic defensive capabilities are nearly lost.

Otherwise, if a major realm still had a bit of resistance, it would never allow others to freely enter and exit its territory.

……

Zhang Jian passed through layers of dimensional void intertwined with wind and thunder, lightning, and countless spacetime storms.

This is the naturally formed defensive layer of the Jade Glass World, but it can no longer stop Zhang Jian.

Innate River Chart divine light flowed around his body, and after a moment, the countless terrifying apocalyptic lightning circling his head gradually dissipated. After concealing his fate mark, Zhang Jian successfully eliminated the Jade Glass World's lock on him as an outsider.

In the void, heaven is high and earth is far, yet above his head it is dim and gloomy, as if a fine rain shrouds heaven and earth, and various calamitous qi frequently arise.

"This heaven and earth..."

At this moment, Zhang Jian furrowed his brows and gazed upon heaven and earth, only to see that the spiritual qi of this Jade Glass Realm was still unusually abundant.

Only the spiritual qi of heaven and earth had a strange flavor.

Within it lay a special 'will'.

"No, it should be pollution!"

Zhang Jian's thoughts stirred darkly, as if a powerful being had dominated the Jade Glass World's operational rules with their own Dao qi, causing countless heavenly and earthly Dao qi to invisibly enter the myriad living beings through the world's operation, even into their souls.

This is a unique way of refining heaven and earth.

That should be a great power of the Taiyi realm, possibly even stronger than imagined!

Zhang Jian's eyes flashed with astonishment.

It is naturally not easy for a major realm to give birth to an immortal god.

But unfortunately, it has nurtured a 'rebellious son'!

This rebellious son appears to want to turn around and devour this great realm.

To annex a realm naturally invites a desperate resistance from the realm's domain.

Zhang Jian can imagine that, to exclusively claim one realm, that refiner would surely think of every possible way to weaken the Jade Glass Realm's resistance.

Zhang Jian secretly sighed.

No matter what method is used.

In this process, as the major realm's resistance weakens, it naturally gives an opportunity to external demon gods, who then gradually sneak in and secretly counteract the other side.

Perhaps this powerful being has already been corrupted by the power of the Black Abyss Demon Realm and remains unaware.

After all, the strongest fortress is always breached from within.

When you think you are the ultimate victor, the hunter has already spread a great net behind you.

Zhang Jian had heard of such precedents in the Tongshan Dao Tong.

This is the most classic method of withering for a major realm.

"Let's see if there's a chance to turn the tide!"

Zhang Jian secretly pondered, in fact he did not hold much hope.

But for now, his main task is still to complete the mission given by Qingxiao Dao Jun.

Zhang Jian took out that peculiar seven-leaf green lotus in his hand.

At this moment, this seven-leaf green lotus emitted a soft immortal light from deep within his palm, the immortal lotus surrounded by grand Dao rhyme, each lotus leaf emitting a fragrant aura, faintly able to draw upon the power of the Great Dao laws between heaven and earth—one glance reveals its true form is indeed extraordinary.

Zhang Jian knew, this is probably some kind of heaven-and-earth relic.

He also did not hesitate, turning the immortal lotus's qi in his hand, sensing the whereabouts of the reincarnated body of the Lotus Fairy, but after only slight activation, his expression suddenly changed to astonishment.

He actually could not find the whereabouts of the Lotus Fairy's reincarnated body.

Zhang Jian rubbed his chin.

This feeling was not because the Lotus Fairy's true form had fallen, but rather because it had been suppressed by some powerful immortal treasure.

But this also could not stop him.

A flash of purple-yellow divine light appeared in his eyes, the innate River Chart divine light instantly took the seven-leaf green lotus in his hand as its source, rushed into the depths of the River of Fate, following the vague trace of the Lotus Fairy's reincarnated body to search.

The domineering power swept all the way along the path.

This display of power was no less than declaring war on the entire Jade Glass World!

Zhang Jian also did not conceal his outsider's aura, and his grand divine power followed by bursting forth.
