Many people in the crowd lowered their heads in shame.
When they first entered the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum, they all thought that the black head, filled with demonic energy, was the remains of the Demon Emperor killed by the Heavenly Emperor, and thus they attacked it.
Looking back now, it's incredibly shameful; it was an insult to the sages of the past.
"This demon is cunning. He turned my mark into his demonic body, while he himself took my form. The work of a Heavenly Demon Emperor is something even a Heavenly Sovereign of the Spirit or Immortal grade would find difficult to discern." The Heavenly Emperor spoke casually, seemingly unconcerned about the matter.
The crowd immediately calmed down.
Meanwhile, the Devouring Demon Emperor, sealed by the Martial Ancestor's spiritual power, had a gloomy expression on his face.
The Heavenly Emperor temporarily ignored the Devouring Demon Emperor. With those four people present, even if the Devouring Demon Emperor, who was missing eight demons and only had one demon left, was in danger, let alone if he were in good condition, he would still be in danger.
He looked at the four people opposite him, filled with emotion:
"I never imagined that even though I sacrificed myself to seal the demon back then, I still couldn't destroy it. Instead, I had to rely on the help of my descendants tens of thousands of years later. I am truly ashamed."
Emperor Yan "Xiao Yan", Martial Ancestor "Lin Dong", and Cao Ya all stood solemnly, clasped their fists, and showed a hint of respect.
"In this vast world, each generation is stronger than the last, and every generation has its own powerful figures who can fight against the evil races from beyond the realm. This is the greatest comfort to those of us who have passed away," the Heavenly Emperor said with a smile.
"Heavenly Emperor, this demon is now yours to handle," Lin Dong said, waving his hand so that the ball of light floated in front of the Heavenly Emperor.
The Devouring Demon Emperor within the ball of light was like a fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of the Heavenly Emperor.
This scene undoubtedly filled the Devouring Demon Emperor with frustration and extreme resentment.
"Heavenly Emperor, if it weren't for the interference of others, I would have won this battle between us in the end," the Devouring Demon Emperor said sternly.
"Personal wins and losses are not important. As long as my Great Thousand World can defeat your Extraterrestrial Evil Clan, that's enough." The Heavenly Emperor smiled faintly and said, "Besides, your Devouring Demon Clan used the power of the entire clan to create a 'Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor' like you, who can be considered one of the top ten Extraterrestrial Evil Clans."
"If we had let you leave back then, the rest of my world would have faced immense pressure."
"There is a risk that our defenses will be breached!"
"I can seal you away for tens of thousands of years, leaving it for future generations to solve—and if they do solve it, then my goal will be accomplished."
"From a strategic point of view, I have ultimately won this battle."
"Though I die, the powerful beings of this vast world will continue to emerge generation after generation!"
The Heavenly Emperor spoke with great satisfaction.
"ah……"
Conversely, the Devouring Demon Emperor was enraged, roaring and unleashing a torrent of demonic energy that violently clashed with the Martial Ancestor's spiritual energy orb.
However, how could the heavily injured Devouring Demon Emperor possibly break Lin Dong's seal?!
When it is intact, there is a one or two percent chance of survival.
It's only one or two tenths.
Beside them, Lin Dong and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, tacitly refraining from describing the current situation in the Great Thousand World.
Both Cao Ya knew that tens of thousands of years ago, when the extraterrestrial evil race invaded, all forces in the world put aside their old grudges and worked together to resist it.
Unfortunately, the extraterrestrial evil race was powerful, and if it weren't for the emergence of the Immortal Emperor, the Great Thousand World would have fallen tens of thousands of years ago.
Even an immortal emperor at the half-step Dominator Realm, with the help of the power of the Great Thousand World, sealed away the Heavenly Evil God, the most powerful leader of the extraterrestrial evil race.
However, half of the entire world was still occupied by the evil races from beyond the realm, turning it into a demonic domain.
Almost all the creatures of all races within it perished. Those that survived were intentionally kept as food by the evil races from beyond the realm.
Besides the vast universe, there is also a lower plane.
There are far too many living beings who have died because of the evil race from beyond the realm.
Their deaths were so gruesome that it was unbearable to witness.
The survivors' situation was even more appalling.
It's really hard to say whether the world won the war tens of thousands of years ago.
It can only be said that the vast world has blocked the invasion of the evil race from beyond the realm, and still has the power to counterattack.
Of course, the extraterrestrial evil race also has its own deep-seated plans.
Including that Heavenly Evil God!
Otherwise, even if the Immortal Emperor alone mobilized the power of the entire world, it would be impossible to seal it.
In fact, the trump card of the Extraterrestrial Evil Race is the Heavenly Evil God. As long as he is killed, and then all the Heavenly Demon Emperors of the Extraterrestrial Evil Race are killed, then the entire Extraterrestrial Evil Race will no longer have the capital to fight against the Great Thousand World...
The two Caos looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Even if they joined forces, they wouldn't dare to recklessly invade the Demon Realm.
The Heavenly Evil God, who was intended to be sealed away, is still trapped and will not be discussed for now.
Even among the extraterrestrial demon emperors, the strongest, the Holy Demon Emperor, is someone they cannot defeat, even if the two are inseparable.
Besides these, there are also Dark Heaven Demon Emperor, Heart Heaven Demon Emperor, Spirit Heaven Demon Emperor, Heaven-Slaying Demon Emperor, Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor, and other top-tier Heaven Demon Emperors, none of whom are inferior to him.
If we convert that to the realms of the vast world, then they're all at the late stage of the Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign!
Not to mention the other Heavenly Demon Emperors of the thirty-two major clans of the Extraterrestrial Evil Race.
In terms of sheer numbers of powerful individuals, it seems that the extraterrestrial evil race currently holds the advantage.
Otherwise, how could they, as outsiders, have suppressed the world tens of thousands of years ago and seized almost half of its territory?
The defeat of the extraterrestrial evil race was the result of deep planning and meticulous calculation.
The only way forward is for a true overlord to emerge so that the extraterrestrial evil race can be completely eradicated and the world can be restored to peace and order.
Cao Ya thought to himself.
However, their own cultivation level is that of a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Supreme.
Even at the Heavenly Supreme Realm, he hadn't reached the ultimate level.
How can we talk about dominating the realm?
“You are all very good. Even in ancient times, you would be considered excellent.”
Just then, the Heavenly Emperor smiled and looked around, feeling satisfied with the descendants of the Great Thousand Worlds.
Many people lowered their heads in shame.
He was almost deceived by the Demon Emperor's illusion and disgraced the sages of the great world.
Mu Chen, Jiu You, Xiao Xiao, Lin Jing, and others all held the Heavenly Emperor in the highest esteem.
The petite mandala beside her stared blankly at the radiant figure of the Heavenly Emperor, her eyes red-rimmed.
"Mandala, you have been revived today. It is so wonderful to see you."
Then, the Heavenly Emperor turned his head, his eyes filled with deep satisfaction.
Mandala stepped forward, her small, childlike hand taking the Heavenly Emperor's large hand in hers.
The Heavenly Emperor gently patted her head, just as he had once tenderly stroked that nearly withered flower.
Tens of thousands of years later, being able to see the mandala again was a great comfort to the Heavenly Emperor.
He regarded the mandala as his daughter.
Then, the Heavenly Emperor smiled slightly and turned to Mu Chen.
The Immortal Golden Body that Mu Chen cultivated, as well as the Great Sun Undying Body he developed in the early stages, were his inheritances.
Of course, these two Dharma bodies can be further enhanced and transformed into eternal, immortal bodies.
That is a supreme dharma body that only an immortal emperor could successfully cultivate.
"Heavenly Emperor." Mu Chen bowed respectfully.
"Young friend, may I borrow the Heavenly Emperor's Sword?" the Heavenly Emperor said with a smile.
Mu Chen quickly handed over the Heavenly Emperor Sword.
This sword originally belonged to the Heavenly Emperor and was passed down to later generations. He drew it out because he cultivated the same Immortal Golden Body and the Great Sun Undying Body.
"Devouring Demon Emperor, after tens of thousands of years, you have finally met your true death." The Heavenly Emperor's wrist trembled slightly, and the Heavenly Emperor Sword erupted with brilliant divine light, filling the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum.
Now, he is merely a remnant of his former self, possessing little power. He must rely on the Heavenly Emperor Sword to slay the Devouring Demon Emperor.
This was only because Lin Dong had sealed away the Devouring Demon Emperor; otherwise, it would have been very difficult for the Heavenly Emperor to eliminate him.
It must be said that the Heavenly Demon Emperors of the extraterrestrial evil race are all incredibly powerful.
The Demon Emperor of the extraterrestrial evil race corresponds to the Heavenly Supreme of the Great Thousand Worlds.
The Netherworld, Profound, and Heavenly ranks correspond to the Spiritual, Immortal, and Saintly grades in the Heavenly Supreme realm, respectively.
The Heavenly Demon Emperor is a Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme level one.
Demon Emperors like the Devouring Demon Emperor, who at their peak could be ranked among the top ten evil races from beyond the realm, were even more formidable.
He's basically a powerful character in the late stage of the Saintly Heavenly Supreme realm.
No wonder the Heavenly Emperor couldn't defeat him. Tens of thousands of years later, the situation was reversed, and the Devouring Demon Emperor almost escaped.
But the Heavenly Emperor had long since perished completely.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong arrived and cut off the Devouring Demon Emperor's path to survival.
If they unexpectedly fail to appear, Cao Ya will also take action and kill the Devouring Demon Emperor.
How could we allow such a powerful demon emperor to escape and return to the demon realm?
That would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains!
"Heavenly Emperor!!!"
The Devouring Demon Emperor roared, his eyes swirling with surging demonic energy.
His face was contorted with rage.
If it weren't for Emperor Yan and Martial Ancestor...
If it weren't for Cao Ya...
If it weren't for...
Tens of thousands of years later, he can absolutely humiliate the Heavenly Emperor at will, and then leave triumphantly, returning to the Devouring Demon Clan and restoring himself to the peak state of "Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor"!
At that time, there will be very few beings in the world who can be his enemy.
He can once again return to the top ten of the Extraterrestrial Demon Emperor's ranking!
But all of these plans have now vanished into thin air.
"I hate it!!!" the Devouring Demon Emperor roared. As the last remaining demon, he knew that with the four Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns present, he had no chance of escaping. If the extraterrestrial evil race came to his rescue, it would be easy to lose several Heavenly Demon Emperors as well, which would be a loss.
Why would the Holy Heaven Demon Emperor make such a losing deal?
Anyway, he is the Heavenly Demon Emperor of the Devouring Demon Clan, not the Holy Demon Clan to which the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor belongs.
"Heavenly Emperor, you want to kill me? You're not qualified! Without external intervention, you're my defeated foe!!"
The Devouring Demon Emperor roared decisively, and at the same time as the Heavenly Emperor's sword fell, he exploded on the spot with a bang.
rumble……
The raging demonic energy was devastating. If it weren't for Lin Dong being the one who sealed him away, even an ordinary Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign wouldn't have been able to withstand the power of a Heavenly Demon Emperor's self-destruction.
Even though the Devouring Demon Emperor was reduced to a single corpse.
Whew~~
The Heavenly Emperor swung his sword again, erasing all the aftershocks and preventing them from affecting the people in the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum.
"This Heavenly Demon Emperor, one of the top ten ranks of the extraterrestrial evil races, has finally met his demise today." A smile appeared on the Heavenly Emperor's face.
"However, there is still one wicked creature that has not been dealt with."
The Heavenly Emperor raised his eyes, a flash of anger in them.
In the crowd, a figure quietly retreated, attempting to leave the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum.
It was none other than Lu Heng, the Holy Demon Emperor of the Holy Demon Palace on the Tianluo Continent!
"You wicked beast! In the past, you were already afraid of battle and fled, but now you have fallen into demonic ways, colluding with the Demon Emperor to help him escape. Such a heinous crime deserves to be atoned for even a hundred deaths!" The Heavenly Emperor said coldly, and with a single sword strike, he killed Lu Heng on the spot, without even letting out a scream.
The crowd stared wide-eyed, utterly shocked.
Although Lu Heng is despicable, his strength is formidable enough to make him a supreme being of the upper realm.
Looking across the entire Tianluo Continent, he is one of the top experts.
Who could have predicted that, faced with a mere imprint of the Heavenly Emperor, the dignified supreme being would be utterly powerless to retaliate?
The power of a Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme is beyond imagination!
The death of the Devouring Demon Emperor, whose self-destructing demonic power was neutralized by the spiritual power of Lin Dong and the Heavenly Emperor, meant that the generals did not feel it deeply.
"Everyone, you have already obtained most of the opportunities from my ancient Heavenly Palace. Now that the matter is settled and the Demon Emperor has fallen, you may return." The Heavenly Emperor spoke, his voice resounding throughout the mausoleum.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Despite having obtained numerous opportunities from the ancient heavenly palaces, they still ventured into the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum, intending to compete for the Heavenly Emperor's throne.
Who wouldn't be envious of the unparalleled divine power [One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones], which was possessed by the ancient Heavenly Emperor?
But the Heavenly Emperor clearly had no intention of passing on their legacy.
Upon closer reflection, it becomes understandable.
After all, how many of those present had actually cultivated the Immortal Golden Body and the Great Sun Undying Body?
Another one who had completed the cultivation was killed by Mu Chen during the previous struggle for opportunities in the ancient Heavenly Palace.
Moreover, with four Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereigns present, possessing unparalleled divine powers, how could it possibly be their turn?
"Heavenly Emperor, Flame Emperor, Martial Ancestor, Supreme Cao Yatian, we shall take our leave." The group clasped their fists, stepped into the spatial passage, and left the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum.
Along the way, everyone chatted enthusiastically.
What we have seen today is enough to cause a sensation throughout the Tianluo Continent and make us famous in all directions.
Including the Heavenly Emperor and the Devouring Demon Emperor, there are a total of six Saint-rank Heavenly Sovereigns who have appeared one after another!
This feeling of attraction...
A once-in-a-millennium event!
This will provide us with something to talk about for a long time to come.
After the people left, the once bustling Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum fell silent in an instant.
Besides the Heavenly Emperor, there are only Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, two Cao Yas, and Mandala, Mu Chen, Jiu You, Xiao Xiao, and Lin Jing.
Xiao Yan and Lin Dong naturally ignored the Heavenly Emperor's legacy, such as the "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" technique.
They were confident that their unique skills, which combined what they had learned and created, would not be inferior to any extraordinary abilities.
Cao Ya had some thoughts, but seeing that Xiao Yan and Lin Dong both didn't want it, and being fellow Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns, he felt embarrassed to ask again and simply waved his hand in refusal.
Anyway, a peerless divine power is nothing special.
Cao Ya possesses some extraordinary skills that surpass even the "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" technique.
He longed even more for spiritual cultivation techniques.
Cao Ya's greatest desire is to advance his cultivation from the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Supreme to the Saint Grade Heavenly Supreme.
Cao Ya didn't really need supernatural powers or similar magical techniques.
With this in mind, the slight regret in the hearts of the two Caos vanished in an instant.
Mu Chen, who had cultivated the Immortal Golden Body, undoubtedly gained the favor of the Heavenly Emperor, who wanted to take him as his successor for the next generation.
Mu Chen would not refuse such a great opportunity.
Because Mu Chen had risked his own safety to protect Xiao Xiao and Lin Jing when they encountered danger earlier, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong admired him and each bestowed upon him a lamp and a stone talisman, which could be used to summon them once, thus making them Mu Chen's protectors.
Afterwards, Xiao Yan, carrying his daughter Xiao Xiao, and Lin Dong, carrying Lin Jing, prepared to break through the void and return to the Endless Fire Domain and the Martial Realm, respectively.
“Cao Ya, remember to come to the Endless Fire Domain. People from our Dou Qi Continent really want to see you.” Xiao Yan smiled and said, “Mainly because many people think that since you haven’t come to the Great Thousand World, you must still be a Dou Di Realm cultivator at the Lower Earthly Sovereign level. They are really looking forward to having a good fight with you.”
[Battle Through the Heavens] Cao Ya was speechless.
"However, now that you are a Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign, in the Endless Fire Domain, no one but me is your match. Those guys' little schemes are destined to fail." Xiao Yan laughed heartily.
"I will go. By the way, I also want to travel around the Great Thousand World and see the scenery of each continent. Our lower plane only has one Dou Qi Continent, but this Great Thousand World has a full thousand continents." Cao Ya from [Battle Through the Heavens] sighed and accepted Xiao Yan's invitation.
On the other side.
Lin Dong also invited Cao Ya from "Martial Universe".
"Don't worry, we people of the Tianxuan Continent aren't that malicious. We're just worried about you, wondering if you've encountered any danger. In the mists of the planes, no one can say for sure what exactly exists," Lin Dong said with a smile.
Xiao Yan shrugged.
Due to their different experiences, Xiao Yan, the Flame Emperor, is quite dashing, while Lin Dong, the Martial Ancestor, is more composed.
After all, although the Dou Qi Continent is threatened by the Soul Emperor, it is not like the alien demon race, which is about to destroy the entire plane!
"Qingzhi, the Lord of Life and Death, the Lord of Darkness, and the Lord of Space all really want to meet you," Lin Dong said.
Cao Ya couldn't help but sigh as well.
He knew those people in the ancient times of the Tianxuan Continent.
However, while Aokiji, the Lord of Life and Death, the Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Space, the Lord of Ice, and the Lord of Flame were either asleep or reincarnated, he alone remained awake for tens of thousands of years.
Moreover, his cultivation level has greatly improved.
Later, he defeated the alien demons and was the first to ascend to immortality.
However, they encountered a spacetime storm and arrived in the Great Thousand World several hundred years later than the people from the Tianxuan Continent who ascended later.
It's been many years since I last saw my old friends.
"Aren't you curious about my relationship with the person next to me?" Cao Ya from [Battle Through the Heavens] laughed, pointing to Cao Ya from [Martial Universe] beside him.
Xiao Yan and Lin Dong exchanged a glance and smiled.
“Several hundred years ago, when we had established ourselves in the Great Thousand World and inquired about you, we learned a lot of information from each other and already had our suspicions. Now that it has been confirmed, I am not particularly surprised,” Lin Dong said calmly.
“Of course, how can you have two bodies at the same time, and in different eras, appearing in our Dou Qi Continent and their Tian Xuan Continent? We are indeed very interested in this matter.” Xiao Yan stroked his chin and said.
Cao Ya chuckled, clearly not intending to elaborate.
"..."
Xiao Yan waved his hand, and with Xiao Xiao in torn through space, they departed.
"Remember to go south to the Martial Realm. Everyone misses you." Lin Dong smiled, then took Lin Jing with him and departed.
"Let's go." Cao Ya from [Battle Through the Heavens] stretched.
Suddenly, Cao Ya of [Martial Universe] looked at the Heavenly Emperor who was teaching Mu Chen the Daoist arts, his eyes flashing slightly.
“Cao Ya, you have…”
