Chapter 146: The Terrified Zhou Mie Immortal Emperor

A demon general slowly opened his mouth, his voice tinged with disbelief, his demon eyes full of horror.

The speaking demon general was named Mo Jie, the top‑ranked general among the thirteen demon generals, having cultivated the Rebirth Secret to the fourteenth layer, surpassing all other demon generals!

The other eleven demon generals shivered all over, their massive demonic bodies involuntarily trembling, their hearts roiling with turbulent waves!

Katuo is dead?!

The one who had cultivated the Rebirth Secret to the thirteenth layer and possessed thirteen lives died in the other world, and that too in such a short time?

How could that be possible?!

Didn't the ancient texts record that the cultivators of that world were feeble in strength and had weak vitality?!

According to the records, among the Foreign Demons that previously invaded that world, a Foreign Demon with Katuo's strength could stride there unchecked!

Even if the cultivators of that world could contend, they could not slay; they could only jointly seal them!!

Foreign Demons also have their own transmitted history!!

After long ages, today's Foreign Demons are far stronger than those of the past!

Precisely because of this, Foreign Demons disregard the cultivators of the other world.

Those cultivators over there, not to mention slaying Katuo thirteen times, even suppressing him is difficult; how could they completely eradicate him?

"Didn't we say that the strongest of that world has only just reached Katuo's limit?"

"To deal with Katuo requires multiple cultivators to cooperate, and with Katuo's advantage of thirteen lives, how could all thirteen lives be gone?"

A demon general let out a muted roar.

They realized that this invasion of the Immortal Realm was far from as simple as imagined; that seemingly weak world surely hides formidable foes!

And at that moment, an authoritative, icy voice rang directly in the minds of the twelve demon generals!

It was the voice of the Foreign Demon Lord!

Katuo's death directly alarmed the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm!

"Katuo has fallen, his soul scattered; that world must not be underestimated!"

"Once the passage stabilizes, you twelve will lead the army across, then act together; remember not to go alone!!"

"Wait until this Demon Lord makes thorough preparations, then proceed!"

The Barrier Passage is a channel forced through the walls separating the two realms, a defiance of heaven fraught with many unstable factors.

The stronger one is, the higher the risk of traversing the Barrier Passage; this is a balancing rule, so the Demon Lord cannot cross lightly and must be fully prepared.

"Yes, Demon Lord!"

The twelve demon generals simultaneously bowed solemnly!

……

Meanwhile, in the Demon‑Quelling Immortal City!

Li Zhangsheng killed the Immortal Emperors who had previously barked at him; the remaining ones were already terrified, their souls scattered, each silent as a chilled cicada, daring not even to breathe!

Now, no one dares to bark at him any longer!

Li Zhangsheng acted as if it were a trivial matter, as though the ones he just killed were merely a swarm of ants!

The three patriarchs of the Source God Sect stared at each other, exchanging silent thoughts.

After a brief exchange, the three approached Li Zhangsheng, faces respectful, bowing deeply, their tone exceedingly sincere: "The Sect Master of Longevity Gate wields unrivaled divine power, a single person can hold back billions of Foreign Demons, rescuing the Immortal Realm from peril."

"We, representing the Source God Sect and all cultivators of the Immortal Realm, thank the Sect Master of Longevity Gate for the life‑saving grace!"

Li Zhangsheng can single‑handedly repel the Foreign Demon army; because of that, his killing of the Immortal Emperors of the Human Immortal Alliance and the Demon Immortal Alliance seems inconsequential!

The surrounding cultivators quickly responded, bowing in unison, their voices uniform and resonant throughout the Demon‑Quelling Immortal City: "We thank the Sect Master of Longevity Gate for the life‑saving grace!"

"No need for such, it was merely a trivial effort!"

Li Zhangsheng calmly said: "And everyone, henceforth if anyone dares to act against a person of Longevity Gate, the fate of those from the Human Immortal Alliance and the Demon Immortal Alliance will be their end, understand?"

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Everyone bowed respectfully and nodded.

Immediately thereafter, to celebrate the repelling of the Foreign Demon army and to thank Li Zhangsheng for saving the Immortal Realm!

The three patriarchs of the Source God Sect promptly ordered a victory banquet to be set up in the central plaza of the Demon‑Quelling Immortal City!

At the banquet, immortal brews scented the air, immortal fruits were displayed, rare delicacies filled every table!

Li Zhangsheng sat at the head seat, while the people of Longevity Gate sat beside him!

Everyone ate, drank, and celebrated!

Soon, Immortal Emperors came to Li Zhangsheng, bowing respectfully while offering wine, their words dripping with flattery!

They all knew that in the current Immortal Realm, Li Zhangsheng is undeniably the foremost figure!

With him present, Foreign Demons are no longer feared; if one can ascend Longevity Gate, their future standing in the Immortal Realm becomes solid, and no one dares to provoke them!

Across the banquet, an atmosphere of respectful harmony prevailed, as if everyone had forgotten that Li Zhangsheng had slain the Immortal Emperors of the Human Immortal Alliance and the Demon Immortal Alliance!

Everyone gathered around Li Zhangsheng, offering utmost flattery!

At this moment, in a corner of the banquet, a solitary figure sat trembling all over, his complexion as pale as paper; this person was Zhou Mie Immortal Emperor!!

Not long ago, Li Zhangsheng killed the young palace master of Profound Heaven Palace in the lower Immortal Realm; the palace master of Profound Heaven Palace, seeking revenge for his son, enlisted Zhou Mie Immortal Emperor to curse‑kill Li Zhangsheng!!

But at that time Zhou Mie Immortal Emperor not only failed, he suffered a massive backlash!!

These days, with the Foreign Demon invasion imminent, the Source God Sect summoned all Immortal Emperors, whether solitary cultivators or faction leaders, to come and block the Foreign Demons!

Zhou Mie Immortal Emperor naturally dared not defy the Source God Sect's command, so he also came, playing an inconspicuous role!

At this moment, Zhou Mie Immortal Emperor curled in the corner, his head tucked so low it nearly vanished into his chest!

His hands clenched his garment's hem tightly, his eyes filled with terror, lacking even the courage to lift his head and glance at Li Zhangsheng!

Earlier he had witnessed Li Zhangsheng slay a powerful Foreign Demon with a single sword, single‑handedly exterminating billions of Foreign Demons, casually wiping out those troublemaking Immortal Emperors; Zhou Mie Immortal Emperor was literally scared to tears!

He was terrified that Li Zhangsheng would find out that he had once secretly cursed someone to death; every minute and second he was tormented, silently praying in his heart: Li Zhangsheng, please never remember me!

I can't be seen, I can't be seen...

The Curse-Exterminating Immortal Emperor silently prayed.

However, what he feared came to pass.

Just as the Curse-Exterminating Immortal Emperor trembled with fear, curled up in the corner, dreading to draw Li Zhangsheng's attention...

Huh?

Li Zhangsheng, seated in the chief position, suddenly set down his wine cup, his gaze slowly turning and landing directly on the Curse-Exterminating Immortal Emperor in the corner...
