That aura, powerful enough to make any strong person in the world tremble, spread out, causing the laws of the Great Dao to become disordered and strange phenomena to occur frequently.

Darkness enveloped the northern sky and even the vast starry sky, as if announcing the arrival of the Demon King.

Originally in the forbidden zone, the demons of the Demon Abyss also came out one after another, as if they had received orders and were extremely orderly.

Many enormous figures, resembling both humans and beasts, roamed through the mountains and forests. These creatures possessed overwhelming demonic power, turning everything in their path into ruins.

The Demon Suppression Alliance cultivators on patrol, in their panic, managed to spread the message.

This demonic upheaval is a hundred times more terrifying than any before.

When the horns sounded in the various cities guarding the borders of the Demon Abyss Forbidden Zone, many cultivators who rushed to the city walls were breathless with shock.

All that could be seen at the far horizon was a dark, oppressive mass, and the sky was filled with winged monsters.

The enormous ones were over a hundred feet tall, blocking out the sky and the sun, inspiring despair at first glance.

Within that surging black torrent, one could vaguely make out a dozen terrifying figures, their auras so powerful it inspired despair.

In the distant forbidden zone, however, there seemed to be the sound of some kind of Taoist chanting, which was extremely strange.

"Why has the formation of the forbidden area been broken so soon?"

"Why has the formation left behind by the Great Emperor stopped working?"

"It's too much of a coincidence that everyone is focused on that battle at this very moment."

Many sects in the Northern Region are in a state of panic at this moment.

Many people felt a deep sense of unease and fear, realizing for the first time how terrifying demons could be.

In the past, demonic disturbances were quickly suppressed by cultivators of various races, and even if they caused great damage, they were never as widespread as this.

If the forbidden zone formation is truly destroyed and the suppressed great demon is reborn, starting from the Northern Region, the entire Xuanhuang Realm will face a catastrophe.

"Such a powerful aura! It's definitely the emergence of a great demon!"

Many patriarchs from holy lands had their expressions change drastically as they looked towards the forbidden Demon Abyss in the far north, their hearts filled with unease.

This overwhelming power is undoubtedly the reappearance of the progenitor of demons, a combat force of immortal level, a crisis capable of destroying the world.

In a very short time, a large group of powerful figures from immortal forces began to exchange information.

"Only an immortal-level power could do that. Who is it?"

"Is it possible... that it was done by people from outside the realm?"

The powerful individuals quickly identified the suspect.

For their own interests, the local forces are almost certainly not going to betray them; the outsiders are undoubtedly the most likely suspects.

Especially for those martial artists who cultivate demonic paths, it is not uncommon for them to secretly collude with demons in order to prove their path.

But those who can achieve this are by no means ordinary people.

By this time, they had even lost interest in thinking about the struggle between Li Ming and those people, and were instead worried about how to resolve the unrest in the restricted area.

On the other side...

The gray-haired old man struggled to hold on, his expression extremely unpleasant.

After Li Ming forcefully killed several quasi-emperors from the Buddhist sect, he realized that they had completely lost this battle.

More importantly, Li Ming's stamina seemed inexhaustible, and he still had the strength to fight him and gain the upper hand.

"A great demon has been born from the Xuanhuang Realm, Huang, don't you stop now!"

The gray-haired old man shouted loudly:

"If you continue to attack, you are undoubtedly helping that demon!"

“You will not gain anything by killing me, and no one will help your Xuanhuang Realm. If you let me go, I can ask the ancient ancestor of the God and Demon Palace to help the Xuanhuang Realm overcome this calamity.”

Although the gray-haired old man was terrified, he remained outwardly fierce but inwardly weak, trying to intimidate Li Ming by mentioning his ancestor.

It wasn't that she valued her life, but rather that she didn't want the imperial weapon to fall into Li Ming's hands.

He would then become a sinner for all time.

"You're mistaken. Killing you would bring many benefits, and... do we need your help?"

Li Ming smiled calmly, completely unconcerned.

"you……"

The gray-haired old man wanted to say something more, but Li Ming was too lazy to waste words with him.

These people plotted to ambush and kill him, and they even brought two great imperial weapons and ten quasi-emperors. They showed no mercy whatsoever. Naturally, he wouldn't be a saint and let the tiger return to the mountain.

A dazzling sword light surged forth as the two imperial weapons, Tai Shi and Chang Ye, unleashed their power, directly breaching the defenses of the Divine Demon Halberd.

Finally, the Azure Emperor's Wood Emperor Seal unleashed its power, pressing down from above the gray-haired old man's head.

From head to toe, his body was crushed like a lump of mud.

Moments later, his primordial spirit shattered, and his soul scattered.

Thus, a grand drama came to an end.

The schemes of the Divine Demon Palace, Little Western Heaven, and many other forces can also be declared a failure.

Those who witnessed all of this were filled with fear and trembling.

This great battle was equivalent to two supreme forces joining forces, but in the end, neither could defeat him.

Li Ming's talent and strength were both too formidable, to the point that they defied their understanding.

Dead silence.

The scene was deserted and no one wanted to stay.

On one hand, a great demon has been born, causing widespread fear and panic.

On the other hand, they were afraid of incurring Li Ming's displeasure and bringing about a deadly disaster.

Li Ming ignored the people around him and instead sorted out his spoils.

These are ten quasi-emperors, whose accumulated wealth is unimaginable. They all come from powerful forces, their divine skills and supernatural abilities are unparalleled, and their divine weapons, magical treasures, and elixirs are beyond imagination. In addition, these two imperial weapons are supreme treasures.

Although it bears the Emperor's mark, outsiders cannot use it.

But will this be enough to defeat Li Ming?

With a wave of his hand, he could solve the problem with just a few billion units of life energy.

Li Ming gained a great deal from this battle.

Although there were no gold-level attributes, the life energy still yielded a whopping 40 billion.

This includes killing ten quasi-emperors, as well as influencing others to obtain [something].

At the same time, golden light shone brightly above the Xuanhuang Golden Ranking.

The original darkness was removed, and it hung high in the void, inspiring a deep sense of awe.

[Huang, having slain ten quasi-emperors, ascended to the top of the God Ranking with his unparalleled foundation.]

The sun hung high in the sky, its golden light filling the heavens. The majestic golden list stood tall above the Xuanhuang Holy Land, illuminating an area of ​​ten thousand miles.

The experts from the various holy lands and sects were all taken aback.

"It's him..."

"How is it possible to reach the top immediately after leaving the pass?"

Some whispered, but no one questioned the authority of the list.

This demonstrates that Li Ming's displayed strength and talent have surpassed that of the previous number one on the list.

Back then, the Xuanhuang Saint Lord single-handedly slaughtered three Quasi-Emperor Demons before ascending to the top for thousands of years.

Li Ming's ability to reach the top undoubtedly surpasses this achievement, or his demonstrated combat power has surpassed that of the Xuanhuang Saint Lord of yesteryear.

"The God Ranking also has another name, the Dao Proving Ranking. Who would have thought that the person closest to proving the Dao would be so young..."

"That's great! With such a supreme expert in charge of the Northern Region, the chaos in the forbidden area should be quelled."

"It's hard to say. If the Demon Ancestor really breaks free, it's almost impossible unless all the major immortal holy lands come with imperial weapons."

After all, even a quasi-emperor wielding an imperial weapon only possesses a portion of the attack power of an immortal.

What they faced was a terrifying demon with truly immortal combat power.

For an ordinary quasi-emperor to face such a great demon, it would be an understatement to say it's like throwing an egg against a rock.

As for other living beings, whether they are war gods or mortals, they are no different from ants in front of demons of this level.
