Chapter 767: The Power of the Strongest (4K)
Zhang Jian had not actually experienced the Outer Realm Demon God Legion's fierce assault on a heavenly realm.
Because this is not something an ordinary Outer Realm Demon God Legion could accomplish.
But once an Outer Realm Demon God Legion can achieve this level, for a heavenly realm, collapse is always imminent.
Boom—
Outside the Void of the Longevity True Realm, divine passes were struck by overwhelming demonic qi, countless ancient war formations had already been activated, and on the moored divine warships of the Divine Court, divine light surged, with divine weapon projections coalescing into form, though they did not actively attack.
All the gods knew that before the two-realm battlefield took shape, even if the Divine Court's various defensive formations were fully struck against that black demon realm, it would be of no avail.
That is the Abyssal Demon Realm created by many demon lords of the Six Great Demon Realms.
Its power is vast and profound, capable of drawing down a portion of the power of the Abyssal Eye to descend, forming a unique Outer Realm Demon Domain, thus completing the act of linking and bridging, facilitating the demon horde's assault on the heavenly realm and reducing heavenly suppression.
At this point, unless it is a transcendent-level siege-breaking artifact.
It must at least be a divine weapon of the Shore-other level transcendent, or a divine weapon of the Primordial Origin level, to pierce the Abyssal Demon Realm.
And below, whether it is the so-called corresponding item realm's Primordial level, or the Eternal level, it is ineffective.
The periphery of the Longevity True Realm, however, had been equipped with several Shore-other level Heavenly Realm Shadow Furnaces; once released, they likewise possess Shore-other level destructive power.
But Emperor Dongyang still chose to remain silent and unresponsive.
Zhang Jian and the Longevity Dao Sovereign clearly understood that Emperor Dongyang probably knew the formation of the two-realm battlefield was already settled; it would be better to utilize the Heavenly Realm Shadow Furnaces to maximally wound some powerful Outer Realm Demon Gods, thereby reducing the defensive pressure on the Longevity True Realm, to await labor with ease, and strive to wait for the reinforcements of the Three Sovereigns' Holy Court to arrive nearby.
The Longevity True Realm, however, differs from the Corridor Realm.
Its defensive power and the depth of the heavenly realm's origin are entirely on a different level; upon sensing the changes in the Longevity True Realm, the surrounding heavenly emperors and holy courts, as well as the many heavenly realm powerhouses governed by the Heavenly Court, will surely come to aid.
Zhang Jian's eyes sank in contemplation, then he glanced at the Longevity Dao Sovereign and said.
"Second Ancestor, that Outer Realm Demon God, the Ink God Demon Lord, I will handle him; but you must still watch over the one suppressed beneath the Heavenly Realm Divine Tree, do not let him find an opportunity to escape, otherwise not only will you have trouble, I will also have trouble!"
Zhang Jian glanced at the Longevity Dao Sovereign, the latter part of his words carrying implication.
The terrifying evil god suppressed beneath the Heavenly Realm Divine Tree, Zhang Jian naturally knows of.
The Inspection Hall also has related records.
The Primordial Heart Ancestor, even in the heavens above the myriad voids, bears a formidable infamous reputation as a terrifying existence, and is moreover the nightmare of countless realms.
The Longevity Dao Sovereign's face bore a faint smile.
"Rest assured, with me here, no one can take it out!"
Zhang Jian nodded, then transformed into a stream of light rushing toward the Void Legal Realm.
External defense is one of the main duties of the Inspection Hall; he naturally does not shirk, and simultaneously Zhang Jian issued the Heavenly Sovereign's edict, inviting the ancient existences within the various Dao lineages of the Longevity True Realm to emerge from seclusion, summoning the gods to face the great enemy.
This is the duty the gods ought to fulfill.
The Three Sovereigns' Holy Court has offered some privileges, providing these ancient strong ones as Dao fields to establish Dao lineages; in wartime, the gods have the obligation to assist the Three Sovereigns' Holy Court in jointly facing the great enemy.
Upon arriving at the Iron Core Divine City beneath his feet, Zhang Jian saw many ancient Dao Sovereigns of the Longevity True Realm rushing over in succession, their numbers considerable, totaling seven or eight when combined.
Most of them oversee a portion of the Longevity True Realm's origin, thus being origin gods of the Longevity True Realm.
The leader among them is the Earth God Sovereign Yin Hou Dao Sovereign.
Following him are the Qiankun Dao Sovereign Ji Dao Ren, the Primordial Lord Chang Ming Zhe, and so on.
These Dao Sovereigns possess profound cultivation, most being extremely ancient ones from the Middle Ancient era, and it is unknown how many eons they have cultivated.
They are considered legends in mythology.
Yet when these strong ones looked into the distance, seeing the terrifying Abyssal demonic qi pouring down like a waterfall, their faces still showed solemnity.
Boundless demonic qi transformed into a flood, following the trajectory of the chaotic qi flow toward the Longevity True Realm; even if the Longevity Divine Court employed a portion of the heavenly-earth rotational power to divert it into numerous vast dimensional gates, guiding it into the lower levels of the worldly gathering, returning it to the Abyssal Eye, it was merely a drop in the bucket.
In the depths of the boundless void, a terrifying demonic qi first emerged in the flood, transforming into a colossal wrathful mask entwined with countless black demonic flames.
A cold voice came from within the void.
"Gods of the Longevity True Realm, listen well to this Sovereign: I am the Yang Magic Lord of the Nine Yangs from the Black Abyss Demon Realm; if you know what's good for you, surrender immediately, I permit you to enter the Outer Realm Demon Pool of the Black Abyss Demon Realm to transform your demonic bodies and enter my command; if you do not know good from ill, the fate of the Corridor Realm will be your example in the Longevity True Realm!"
After a slight pause, he then roared toward the direction of Iron Core City.
"Emperor Dongyang, and that Inspection Heavenly Sovereign, do not shrink back in the city; do you have the guts to come out and contest with this Sovereign?"
He shouted angrily within the demon clouds.
The gods all turned their gazes toward Zhang Jian.
Beside him, Yan Jue Dao Jun hurriedly said.
"Heavenly Sovereign, beware of deceit!"
Zhang Jian's expression remained unchanged; he nodded slightly, then spoke.
"Ink God Demon Lord, since you have already arrived, why do you not reveal yourself for a meeting? Or perhaps, after becoming a defeated subordinate, you dare not face the Longevity Holy Ancestor again?"
Upon hearing this, that demon god sovereign did not speak, while the Yang Magic Lord's face flushed with anger.
"Rascal, the title Ink God— is it something you can directly utter?"
Rolling blazing flames erupted from his entire body, surging forth and merging into the demon clouds, then bombarding toward the Longevity True Realm; the void legal realm under attack continuously trembled, and countless demonic patterns, adhering to the void legal realm's natural barrier, came into being.
In the depths of the demon clouds, the power of the Abyss further pressed down upon the Longevity True Realm, actively merging into it, increasing the burden on the Longevity True Realm.
This is the innate ability of utilizing one realm's intake and outflow of chaotic qi to resonate with the great dao source of the chaotic source ocean.
Such infusion is difficult for a realm to refuse, even if there is 'poison' in the honey!
Seeing this, Zhang Jian spoke calmly.
"Little demon brat, don't jump for joy; today next year will be your memorial day!"
He gripped an invisible divine needle in his hand; four-colored light circulated, then transformed into invisibility; instantly, the invisible divine needle shot forth from the darkness.
At the moment the Yang Magic Lord was about to continue shouting, his pupils flickered with demonic light for an instant; the next moment, a huge hole appeared deep in his brow, from which a streak of invisible destructive divine light burst forth, instantly tearing apart that huge wrathful mask.
Even his true form, entrusted to the dark void—a dimension demon god with a bluish-gray face, extraordinarily tall stature, and burning blue-red terrifying flames—had his expression stagnate, a hole appearing deep in his brow; countless destructive forces instantly shattered this magnificent demon god true form, causing it to collapse.
Boom—
In the dark void, an inexplicable 'concept' surged, seemingly due to the fall of a demon lord, slightly losing balance.
This concept is called 【Wrath】!
But this imbalance of the concept's omen quickly recovered.
But all these omens indicate that the Changyang Demon Venerable fell in an instant!
In Tiexin City, the gods' gazes fell upon this scene, and they were stunned for a moment, then many faces showed a trace of agitation.
This Changyang Demon Venerable is a true other-shore-level powerhouse.
He actually fell in an instant!
Like ordinary wild grass.
At this moment, the gods unconsciously turned their gazes to Zhang Jian.
They thought to themselves, and indeed they were confident in suppressing the Changyang Demon Venerable, but to slay him was absolutely impossible.
Other-shore powerhouses are difficult to wear down.
Facing the gods' shocked gazes, Zhang Jian casually retracted the Innate Four Symbols Divine Needles and continued speaking.
"Mo Shen Demon Venerable, you can continue hiding, acting like a shrinking turtle, but this venerable wants to see how many of your subordinates you can sacrifice!"
A hint of a cold smile appeared on his face.
As he stepped into the realm of the supreme powerhouse, he already possessed the ability to obliterate other-shore Dao Venerables, no longer mere suppression or sealing.
Similar to the Changyang Demon Venerable, this terrifying ordinary demon venerable, in the eyes of other immortals and gods, is perhaps an unspeakable world-destroying demon god.
In his eyes, he can obliterate with a casual gesture.
Even if it is a supreme Dao Venerable, unless it is three transformations, it is merely a slightly stronger ant.
This is the foundation of the supreme powerhouse.
Boom—
Above the heavens and void, at this moment, billions of paths of Gui Xu demonic power surged like a flood, repeatedly striking the void legal realm of the Changsheng True Realm, causing countless Gui Xu demonic patterns on the outskirts of billions of miles of void legal realm to further be despised.
And in the rear, the true form of the Dongyang Emperor already appeared, his body surrounded by groups of grand Dao totems resembling the sun and moon, the totems rotating, boundless nine-colored heavenly Dao divine light falling, as if holding heaven and earth, the gods manifested from the void and began to activate.
This is the Luo Xiang Tianren Zhen Shi Great Formation!
The threefold imperial Dao qi emerged from the earth, humanity, and the divine court, harmonizing the three talents of heaven, earth, and humanity, forming a massive physical spherical wheel that encircled the Changsheng True Realm, activating heavenly Dao authority, continuously purifying that Gui Xu demonic qi.
The threefold imperial Dao qi are respectively the earth dragon vein qi, the dragon and tiger qi of the human dynasties, and the divine court emperor qi, combined with heavenly Dao authority, their power became extremely strong.
The Dongyang Emperor's head bore the manifestation of the Wanxiang Furnace, and his voice came from behind Zhang Jian.
"Heavenly Venerable, I come to help you purify the demonic qi, delay the formation of the two-realm battlefield, you only need to guard the divine pass!"
"Guard?"
Zhang Jian smiled slightly, his gaze seeing that at this moment, within the approaching Gui Xu demon realm, a terrifying gray-red interlaced demon eye suddenly appeared, the demon eye bursting forth with boundless eternal darkness.
On the divine city, many immortals and gods witnessed the demon eye opening, their faces changing color instantly, their pupils beginning to bleed red, their vital energy becoming disordered, going berserk.
"Be careful, that is a root secret art, the Xuantian Demon Eye, cannot be gazed upon directly..."
An ancient Dao Venerable watched this scene, his expression changing.
But Zhang Jian paid no attention, merely waving his hand slightly, and a pure, holy, mighty, and bright power spread throughout the ten directions of void, illuminating the nine heavens and ten earths; even if a part of the primordial spirit became demonized, the distorted immortals and gods at this moment only felt a surge of intense light deep within their hearts.
The distorted primordial spirit, the demonized Dao heart, at this moment instantly regained calm; countless darkness and impurities, that part of the Dao heart with flaws in the immortals and gods, at this moment also felt warmth throughout their bodies, and hidden wounds were instantly healed.
At the same time, from deep within the Gui Xu demon realm came countless terrifying screams.
Groups of terrifying bright flames burst forth from within, causing some towering, mighty extraterritorial demon gods to manifest their true forms from within.
Their true forms were myriad: there were gluttonous demon gods like balls of flesh, there were stellar murder gods like stars, and there were formless and shapeless, like leeches, the Wuxiang demon gods, rooted in mountains and rivers, chaotic demon apes in monkey form.
At this moment, each and every one turned into heavenly fire torches.
Half of the Gui Xu demon realm was ignited.
At this moment, Zhang Jian held in his hand the Nine Transformations Mighty Bright Lamp, and smiling at the gods, he said.
"Those who gaze upon the Xuantian Demon Child will be stained by the Xuantian Demon, but those who gaze upon the light will inevitably devote themselves to light, opposing darkness!"
As he successfully stepped into the realm of the supreme powerhouse, the power of all his innate spirit treasures could be pushed to the extreme by him.
The Mighty Bright Lamp in his hand contains the two great concepts of 【Brightness】 and 【Mightiness】.
This treasure was formed at the time of heaven's opening and earth's creation, from the mighty righteous qi in the chest of the creator king of an alien universe dimension, and it absorbed the billions of years of heavenly righteous qi, finally condensing into form; upon formation, demons scattered, evil retreated, and the light of the Mighty Bright Lamp can refine demons, suppress the Dao heart, innately restrain eternal darkness, and destroy one side of the heavenly Dao rules.
Secondly, it also possesses a part of very rare auxiliary abilities, such as quickly restoring primordial spirit power, dispelling external demons, refining primordial spirit distractions, etc.
It can be said to be the nemesis of most of the demon heads in the six great demon realms.
At this moment, Zhang Jian's gaze fell upon the depths of the Gui Xu demon realm, as if he could faintly feel a gaze containing boundless malice, but he paid no attention, merely speaking coldly and indifferently.
"Mo Shen, you have whatever means, use them all, otherwise today you will surely suffer a loss with nothing to return!"
Zhang Jian was not in a hurry either, taking the initiative to go into battle.
As the opposing sides in the attack-defense war, he occupied the advantage of terrain, and also had the Changsheng True Realm's heavenly Dao watching over him, thus occupying the advantageous side; the ones who should be anxious are the demon gods and demon venerables like this ancient demon venerable.
In the depths of the Gui Xu demon realm, boundless demonic qi enveloped, violently scouring, yet some bright torches were seen extinguishing at a visible speed, but along with their extinguishing were hundreds of thousands of extraterritorial demon gods.
In a short time, nearly one-tenth of the extraterritorial demon god powerhouses turned into flying ashes.
If it were not for the Mo Shen Demon Venerable timely intervening, cutting off the perception of the remaining extraterritorial demon gods, they would probably also be annihilated by that terrifying rule, conceptual power following perception directly.
Without doubt, there exists another extremely terrifying entity seated in the Changsheng True Realm.
Facing Zhang Jian's provocation, the cautious demon god completely ignored it.
For the strong ones of the extraterritorial demon god clan, face means nothing.
Only survival and growth are what they pursue.
Beneath the majestic and ferocious Gui Xu demon throne, a powerful demon god clad in a black robe, his figure concealed by the black robe, spoke in a low voice.
"Demon Venerable, this Changsheng True Realm is not easy to attack; if we forcefully attack, we fear heavy losses, even if victorious, we may not be able to compensate for the losses?"
The Mo Shen Venerable slightly furrowed his brows, there was some hesitation in his eyes.
Actually, the best method now is naturally for him to step forward, attract that strong one's gaze, and create an opportunity for the Bai Ze Yao Sheng!
As long as internal strife is successfully provoked, the army of the outer-realm demon gods will naturally be able to advance unimpeded.
But to have him risk his life in battle against an unknown terrifying entity, the Ink God Demon Venerable is not particularly willing.
This Demon Venerable values his own life greatly.
"Continue the sheep attack, let the demon race's people step forward to test that person, tell them, this is this venerable's command!"
Upon hearing this, the black-robed figure gave a slight nod, and his form vanished instantly from the spot.
