Chapter 120: Bringing the Cave Dwelling Back

That Foreign Demon blinked its eyes, looked around, appearing somewhat dazed!

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

I was secretly accumulating power, preparing to break through that damned spatial seal—who the hell brought me here?

This Foreign Demon is pitch-black all over, its skin covered with strange patterns, neither scale nor scale, neither armor nor armor!

It has three heads and six arms, each skull ferocious and terrifying!

Its six eyes are blood-red, currently rolling about with a gurgling sound!

When he realized that, at this moment, five humans were staring at him like they were looking at a monkey, he instantly flew into a rage!

Its body continually twisted and struggled, emitting a deathly silence so thick it seemed substantive!

Wherever that aura passed, even space seemed to be corroded, emitting a sizzling sound!

"Roar!!"

The Foreign Demon let out an earth-shaking roar, its terrifying aura bursting forth as it howled: "Damned humans, you actually dare to release me—let's see… what's going on?"

Just as this Foreign Demon thought it was about to display its mighty power and devour these humans, it discovered it had been seized by someone and could not move!

"This is impossible?!"

He continued to activate the strange aura within his body, all his power bursting forth!

But it was still in vain!

"Roar! Damned humans, quickly release me—you can't kill me, what's the use of continuing to seal me?"

"One day I will surely break through this damned seal, and then I will make sure you never achieve rebirth for eternity!!!"

This Foreign Demon Royal Clan continued to roar!

Its voice contained a demonic sound capable of tearing apart souls!

Xiao Jue, Liu Yiming, and Mu Xuan Yi at this moment felt their souls shaken, their faces turning pale, hurriedly circulating their techniques to steady their minds!

"Is this a Foreign Demon?" Liu Yiming widened his eyes: "Just one glance and I feel my spirit unsettled—this thing is too evil!"

Mu Xuan Yi also focused her gaze on that Foreign Demon; she had once read an ancient text, and fragments of its records about Foreign Demons surfaced in her mind!

"Foreign evil entities, they feed by devouring the vitality of all things; wherever they pass, all living beings suffer, and heaven and earth fall into stillness!"

And at this moment, the residual soul phantom of the Tianyan Celestial Emperor had completely frozen in midair!

On his semi-transparent face was written utter disbelief and shock, so intense that his very soul swayed slightly!

"You… you…"

Tianyan opened his mouth, only to find himself momentarily speechless.

What did he see?

That Foreign Demon Royal Clan, which had cost him his life to barely seal, now resembled a chick pinched in someone's grip, frantically struggling in the white-clad youth's palm yet unable to break free even a bit!

Good heavens?!

That's a Foreign Demon Royal Clan!

Back when the celestial realm was at its peak, several celestial emperors joining forces still found it hard to utterly slaughter it, only able to pay a heavy price to drive it away or seal it.

And he, Tianyan, using his lifetime cultivation and immortal foundation as payment, laid out these four layers of secret realm, stacking spatial seals, barely managing to trap it in the deepest part of the fourth layer!

Even so, over these endless ages, this wisp of his residual soul never dared to relax in the slightest, constantly monitoring the seal, fearing any leakage!

But now…

That white-clad youth, with just a casual reach, piercing through layer upon spatial barrier, directly hauled this Foreign Demon out from the fourth layer!

And yet this Foreign Demon, in his hand, could not move at all!

What kind of method is this?!

"Fellow Daoist… you…" Tianyan eased, then solemnly regarded Li Zhangsheng: "What realm are you exactly?"

Li Zhangsheng did not answer immediately; he merely lowered his head to look at the Foreign Demon struggling in his palm!

His gaze was calm and waveless, as if he were looking at an insignificant ant!!

That Foreign Demon's six scarlet eyes now stared fixedly at Li Zhangsheng!

"Release me quickly, foolish human—do you think restraining me means you can kill me?!"

"You have no idea how hard my life is; you cannot kill me!"

He let out an even more violent howl from his mouth, the deathly aura around his body surging wildly, attempting to corrode Li Zhangsheng's palm!

However, the deathly aura of the annihilation law, upon contacting Li Zhangsheng's palm, vanished like snow meeting the scorching sun—silently and without a trace!

"Oh? Your life is hard, huh?"

Li Zhangsheng glanced mockingly at the Foreign Demon in his hand and lightly said!

The next moment, his five fingers slightly closed together.

Boom!

This Foreign Demon instantly exploded!

Hum!

The next instant, this Foreign Demon's body began to reform!

However, the Foreign Demon that had reformed its flesh now showed disbelief in its eyes: "How is this possible, you…"

Boom!

Before he could finish speaking, Li Zhangsheng gave another casual pinch!

This Foreign Demon exploded again!

After a moment, it reformed again!

No!

No!

This is impossible!!

This Foreign Demon royal family finally panicked, fear showing in its eyes, it struggled madly, but it was still in vain!

I know you Foreign Demons have plenty of lives, but I don't know how many lives you have! Li Zhangsheng looked at this Foreign Demon royal family with amusement, and casually gave another pinch!!

He had previously slain a Foreign Demon, and that Foreign Demon also struggled under his sword light for a full nine times!

Who knows how many times this Foreign Demon can struggle!

Boom—

Thus, after repeating twelve times!

No!!!

Accompanied by this Foreign Demon's final terrified roar, this Foreign Demon royal family could no longer reform!

The Foreign Demon royal family that made the Heavenly Derivation Immortal Emperor pay with his life and caused countless seniors of the immortal realm to fall, in Li Zhangsheng's palm, turned into a black mist that scattered with the wind!

Completely annihilated!

At this moment, the remnant soul of the Heavenly Derivation Immortal Emperor had completely solidified in midair.

He blankly stared at the spot where the Foreign Demon disappeared, then slowly lifted his head, looking at Li Zhangsheng's calm, expressionless face!

After a long while…

Heavenly Derivation sucked in a breath of cold air, simultaneously also feeling a relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted!

He actually… actually killed it?!

Heavenly Derivation muttered to himself, his soul body slightly trembling, with an indescribable excitement.

This old man has eyes but fails to recognize Mount Tai; Dao friend's methods reach the heavens, beyond what I can fathom. Heavenly Derivation's voice carried a hint of respect as he asked: "May I ask, Dao friend, have you… surpassed the realm of the Immortal Emperor?"

Li Zhangsheng withdrew his hand, stood with his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "I don't know!"

All I know is that I'm pretty good at fighting; from start to finish, no one has ever survived my attacks!!

Heavenly Derivation's soul body shuddered, then he revealed a relieved smile!

Good… good… good! He said the word "good" three times, his tone full of relief: "With a Dao friend like you existing in the immortal realm, what harm can the Foreign Demon calamity do?"

I… die without regret!

Li Zhangsheng looked at Heavenly Derivation: "How long can your remnant soul still last?"

Heavenly Derivation smiled: "Originally relying on the energy of this secret realm to maintain, it could still last ten thousand years."

But now that the Foreign Demon has been eliminated, my obsession is fulfilled; this wisp of remnant soul… should also dissipate.

His voice was very calm, even carrying a hint of ease.

Guarding the seal for endless ages, constantly vigilant against the Foreign Demon breaking free, this pressure and loneliness are unimaginable to ordinary people!

Now that the burden has been lifted, he instead feels relieved!

Li Zhangsheng gave a slight nod, without saying more!

Heavenly Derivation looked at the three streams of light floating in midair, raised his hand and lightly tapped.

The secret-law light cluster entwining the soul's path, the secret-law light cluster entwining spatial power, and that ancient small cauldron, slowly drifted toward Li Zhangsheng!

The 'Imperial Heart Soul Technique' and the 'One World One Thought Technique' are the fruits of my lifelong painstaking effort; Dao friend, if you don't take a liking to them, perhaps they may be of some use to your disciples. Heavenly Derivation said:

The Boundary Ruin Cauldron contains three thousand small worlds, usable for attack and defense, and can also be used for storage; I bestow it upon you, Dao friend.

Li Zhangsheng was not polite either, casually waved his sleeve and stored the three streams of light inside!

At this moment, his soul body was already transparent like thin mist: "I am departing… the future of the immortal realm is entrusted to you, Dao friend."

The words fell!

The semi-translucent phantom of the imperial robe, like a candle in the wind, flickered lightly and turned into specks of starlight, dissipating in the air!

Completely returned to heaven and earth!

Inside the hall, only Li Zhangsheng and four people remained!

Sect Master…" Xiao Jue spoke softly, his tone somewhat complex: "That Heavenly Derivation Immortal Emperor, just like that… dissipated?"

Li Zhangsheng grunted: "His obsession is fulfilled, his soul returns to heaven and earth; for him, that is a kind of relief!"

What a top-notch Immortal Emperor!" Xiao Jue felt a tinge of regret: "Just gone like that, a bit regrettable!"

Mu Xuan Yi remained silent for a moment, then said softly: "Using his body to suppress demons, his soul guarding for ten thousand years; such magnanimity is worthy of reverence by posterity."

Li Zhangsheng said no more, turned and walked toward the hall exit.

Let's go, let's go out.

Xiao Jue and the three others hurriedly followed.

The four walked out of the hall and returned to the plaza of the third-layer world!

After a moment, the four arrived at the exit of the first-layer world!

Li Zhangsheng lifted his head and glanced at the overcast sky, then extended his palm and lightly grasped the void.

Hum!!

The entire ancient Immortal Emperor's cave dwelling secret realm trembled simultaneously!

Mountains swayed, rivers flowed backward, the spatial laws of heaven and earth manifested one after another, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, converging toward Li Zhangsheng's palm!

This is the skill Li Zhangsheng just learned, 'One World One Thought Technique'!

This technique, following Li Zhangsheng's thoughts, can shrink a expanse of heaven and earth!

Sect Master, what are you doing…?" Xiao Jue exclaimed in surprise.

Collect this cave dwelling." Li Zhangsheng said lightly, "Leaving it here is a waste; taking it back to Changsheng Sect to make a cultivation secret realm would also be good."

As he spoke, that ancient small Boundary Ruin Cauldron appeared floating in his palm.

The cauldron body trembled slightly, emitting a hazy glow!

In the next moment, the entire secret realm began to shrink rapidly; mountains, rivers, palaces, and training grounds, under Li Zhangsheng's thought, turned into countless tiny bubbles that were sucked into the World Abyss Cauldron.

Just a moment later.

The originally vast and boundless Ancient Immortal Emperor's Cave Abode secret realm completely vanished!

Only an expanse of emptiness remained in its place!

Li Zhangsheng put away the World Abyss Cauldron, and his divine sense swept over its interior.

Inside the cauldron were three thousand small worlds; one of them had been remodeled into the likeness of the Ancient Immortal Emperor's Cave Abode, its four layers intact, with all resources and training grounds within.

"Not a bad harvest this time!" Li Zhangsheng nodded satisfactorily, "Let's go back!"

He casually waved his hand, leading Xiao Jue and the other two as they stepped forward.

The surrounding space shifted, and the four appeared outside, before that ancient space gate!

At this moment, the space gate remained open, but the spatial ripples beyond it had already calmed!

Because the secret realm inside had been taken away by Li Zhangsheng, only emptiness remained!

"Yo, you've come out!"

"How was your harvest inside?"

Just then, a teasing voice came over!
