Chapter 139: Rift Abyss Celestial Emperor

The crashing sounds deep within the Boundary Sea continue to boom!

Those barrier fissures are being constantly washed by an endless flow of extraneous demonic Qi, and the cracks expand slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Filaments of pitch‑black demonic Qi seep through the fissures into the Boundary Sea, tinting the surrounding chaotic currents with a layer of cold, dead silence…

Within the Celestial Realm's borders, the Anti-Demon Alliance's preparations have already entered a fever pitch!

The Source God Sect, leading the mobilization, sends a continual stream of Celestial Realm troops to the edge of the Boundary Sea; towering defensive formations rise from the ground, their layers sealing the junction between the Boundary Sea and the Celestial Realm tightly.

Countless alchemy sects work day and night forging pills, while weapon smiths forge celestial weapons and sharp blades!

Powerful beings above the rank of Celestial Emperor Qian take turns patrolling the Boundary Sea!

In the blink of an eye, three days pass, and the Anti-Demon Alliance outpost at the Boundary Sea's edge is now fully constructed!

A colossal celestial city stretching tens of thousands of li stands on the shore of the Boundary Sea!

Celestial light swirls, banners flutter, and the so‑called Demon‑Quelling Celestial City serves as the headquarters of this Celestial Realm Anti-Demon Alliance!

The entire Celestial Realm is shrouded in a solemn, war‑ready atmosphere…

And Longevity Gate remains as carefree as ever, as if the world's looming crisis has nothing to do with this place!

Meanwhile, inside the Demon‑Quelling Celestial City, Celestial Emperor Qiu Leng has drafted a letter, preparing an invitation according to the Anti-Demon Alliance's highest protocol, and dispatches a core celestial emperor strongman of the Source God Sect straight to Longevity Gate to invite Li Zhangsheng to the city to discuss matters of confronting the Foreign Demon!

After all, the Sect Master of Longevity Gate possesses superb combat power; inviting him to help resist the Foreign Demon would be a great asset!

On the back mountain of Longevity Gate, Li Zhangsheng lazily reclines on a rattan chair, sipping wine leisurely!

Now that his seven disciples have all been found, he finds himself with nothing to do!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

At that moment, Su Jin arrives at the pavilion's entrance with an elder clad in a gray robe!!

"Master, this is an elder of our Source God Sect who says he has urgent business with you. I was wandering around earlier, ran into him, and brought him along," Su Jin bowed to Li Zhangsheng and then said.

"I am Mo Leng of the Source God Sect; I have met the Sect Master of Longevity Gate!" The Source God Sect's celestial emperor Mo Leng also clasped his hands and bowed to Li Zhangsheng!

Li Zhangsheng gave Mo Leng a casual glance, then coolly asked, "What do you want with me?"

"Sect Master." Celestial Emperor Mo Leng respectfully presented an invitation with both hands, smiled and said, "By the command of the Anti-Demon Alliance's patriarchs and alliance leaders, I hereby cordially invite the Sect Master of Longevity Gate to the Demon‑Quelling Celestial City to jointly discuss the grand plan against the Foreign Demon!!"

Li Zhangsheng took the invitation, gave it a quick glance, then tossed it onto a nearby stone table, chuckling lightly, "I'm bored anyway, so I'll go take a look."

Saying that, Li Zhangsheng lazily rose and stretched!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…

In the plaza outside the pavilion, the core members of Longevity Gate, upon hearing that Li Zhangsheng intends to go to the Demon‑Quelling Celestial City, all hurried over!

"Master, take us along, please. We heard the Anti-Demon Alliance built an unusually towering celestial city at the edge of the Boundary Sea, and we want to see it!" Fang Han laughed first, adding that they had been bored these past few days and were the type who refuse to stay idle!

Now that cultivators from the entire Celestial Realm are heading to the Boundary Sea's edge, the bustle is irresistible, so they naturally want to join the excitement!!

"Yeah, take us with you, Sect Master; I've been bored to death these days." Liu Yiming said, licking his lips, while secretly thinking of checking out some celestial maidens for eye candy, assuming there must be many now that the whole realm is at the Boundary Sea.

"Then let's go together." Li Zhangsheng shook his head and smiled.

Immediately after, Li Zhangsheng led a dozen core members of Longevity Gate to the Demon‑Quelling Celestial City, purely to take them out for a ride!!

Half a day later, under Celestial Emperor Qiu Leng's guidance, Li Zhangsheng arrived outside the Demon‑Quelling Celestial City!

Looking out, a towering city stretching tens of thousands of li spanned the edge of the Boundary Sea!!

A dense swarm of cultivators flitted above the massive city!

"Whoa, how lively!" Liu Yiming exclaimed, watching the cultivators darting about.

"Let's go!" Li Zhangsheng said, and led the group rushing into the Demon‑Quelling Celestial City!!

After entering the city, Li Zhangsheng and Su Jin followed Celestial Emperor Mo Jing to the core grand hall of the Demon‑Quelling Celestial City!

The others from Longevity Gate wandered aimlessly inside the city, stopping here to join the bustle, then there to join the bustle!

In the core grand hall of the Demon‑Quelling Celestial City, the Grand Patriarch of the Source God Sect, the Second Patriarch Celestial Emperor Qiu Leng, and the Third Patriarch gathered!

Alliance Leader Bei Feng of the Human Celestial Alliance and Alliance Leader Yan Lin of the Demon Celestial Alliance sat on opposite sides!

They were discussing strategies to counter the incoming Foreign Demon army!

At that moment, Li Zhangsheng and Su Jin followed Celestial Emperor Mo Leng and entered!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

In an instant, everyone's gaze in the hall converged on Li Zhangsheng!

'Is this the Sect Master of Longevity Gate?'

Alliance Leader Bei Feng sized up Li Zhangsheng; it was his first time seeing him.

Earlier, the Human Celestial Alliance had some unpleasant dealings with Li Zhangsheng, and only after they bowed their heads and offered apologies was the matter settled!

Alliance Leader Yan Lin of the Demon Celestial Alliance also watched Li Zhangsheng with curiosity.

He had also heard that a new Longevity Gate had recently emerged in the Celestial Realm, its Sect Master a white‑clad cultivator of astonishing power, and he was likewise curious about him!

"Divine Son, Sect Master!" Celestial Emperor Qiu Leng, seeing Li Zhangsheng and Su Jin arrive, hurried over to greet them.

"Allow me to introduce everyone…" Celestial Emperor Qiu Leng introduced the assembled heavyweights to each other!

Grand Patriarch Kong Weng of the Source God Sect!

Third Patriarch Lie Yan of the Source God Sect!

Alliance Leader Bei Feng of the Human Celestial Alliance!

Alliance Leader Yan Lin of the Demon Celestial Alliance!

Each heavyweight gave Li Zhangsheng a slight nod.

"Divine Son, Sect Master, please sit!" Celestial Emperor Qiu Leng had already prepared seats for Li Zhangsheng and Su Jin.

Li Zhangsheng gave a light nod, casually chose a seat, and, lazily sipping his wine, said, "You continue your discussion; you don't need to worry about me—I'm just here for the fun."

"Hm?" Alliance Leader Yan Lin, observing Li Zhangsheng's lazy demeanor, felt a twinge of displeasure but said nothing.

Then the heavyweights resumed deliberating how to deploy forces for defense once the Foreign Demon arrives, which faction should guard which side, and so on…

At the same time, Luo Chen and Fang Han, who had come with Li Zhangsheng, were wandering around the Demon‑Subduing Immortal City out of curiosity!

The Immortal City was teeming with cultivators; disciples and strong ones from the major forces of the Immortal Realm could be seen everywhere!

Quasi Immortal Emperor, the Immortal Emperor‑level aura rose and fell!

Various celestial soldiers, pills, and formation materials were displayed in abundance, a bustling scene of war preparations!!

"Whoa, Xiao Jue, that demon‑race woman is really beautiful, dare you go up and say hello!" Liu Yiming whispered to Xiao Jue.

"If you've got the guts, go yourself; their strength is far greater than ours." Xiao Jue muttered back in a whispered rebuke.

The few of them strolled leisurely, and upon reaching the vicinity of the Demon Immortal Alliance camp, they couldn't help but discuss out of curiosity.

"Hm?"

At that moment, a middle‑aged Immortal Emperor dressed in Demon Immortal Alliance garb, with a grim visage, suddenly opened his eyes while meditating, and his cold gaze instantly locked onto Han Qi!

He radiated a robust Immortal Emperor aura; he was the Rift Abyss Immortal Emperor under the Demon Immortal Alliance!

This individual had reached the Supreme Immortal Emperor tier, held a high position in the Demon Immortal Alliance, was habitually greedy and violent, but had temporarily restrained himself because a Foreign Demon invasion was imminent!

The Rift Abyss Immortal Emperor stared intently at Han Qi, his eyes flashing with extreme greed and fervor.

He wore a jade pendant that could sense treasures; the rarer the treasure, the more violently the pendant trembled!

At this moment, the pendant on his body was shaking violently, dozens of times more intense than when it had previously sensed a Supreme treasure!

He clearly sensed that, not far away, a young cultivator of merely Peak Immortal Realm level concealed a truly formidable treasure on his person!

And the cause of the Rift Abyss Immortal Emperor's pendant's violent tremor was the Chaos Myriad Path Furnace on Han Qi's body!

"Interesting, it actually makes my pendant tremble so violently…" the Rift Abyss Immortal Emperor smiled with evident amusement.

If he could obtain that treasure, his combat power would surge dramatically, and he would naturally feel more confident against the Foreign Demon!

The Rift Abyss Immortal Emperor stepped forward, and his massive Immortal Emperor pressure erupted like a mountain, crashing down on Han Qi and his companions!

Han Qi and his group, only of Peak Immortal Realm cultivation, instantly went rigid under the Supreme Immortal Emperor's pressure, unable to move, their faces pallid, blood spilling from their mouths, lacking any strength to resist!

"What's happening? Who dares to unleash such terrifying pressure inside the Demon‑Subduing Immortal City?" Liu Yiming gritted his teeth.

"Kid, I sense a truly formidable treasure on you!"

"Such a treasure placed on you is a waste of heaven's bounty; hand it over to me, and I'll trade you other things in exchange!" At the same time, the Rift Abyss Immortal Emperor had already teleported in front of Fang Han, bearing an undeniable dominance,
