But at that moment, the extremely deep and dark crack below Jiutian Peak suddenly began to stir restlessly, as if something inside was stirring.
In an instant, a melodious and warm laugh came from the crack:
"Starry Sky, aren't you afraid of angering me by slaughtering my men like this?"
Although the voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and the tone was extremely gentle, it instantly made Zhou Xingdou, whose expression had just softened, stiffen completely.
His eyes, which had originally shimmered with silver light, were now filled with surging purple energy, staring intently at the crack as if trying to see through it to the view inside.
Upon hearing this voice, Fang Daokun suddenly revealed a hint of surprise, and even the strange power within him increased slightly. He blasted away Tianhui and Tiancong Daoist with a single blow, and laughed loudly:
"Hahaha, it's all coming to an end!"
Before Fang Daokun could finish speaking, countless terrifying auras, chilling to the bone, emanated from that extremely deep and dark crack.
Immediately afterwards, one after another, cultivators clad in eerie black armor emerged from within. These cultivators were numerous, seemingly endless.
Each of them exuded an extremely powerful and unpredictable force of law, which surged forth in all directions like a raging torrent.
At that moment, everyone's face showed a look of terror.
Even the old man from the Sword Domain was no exception. He had been paying attention to the ominous black light that enveloped the Underworld Palace, but at this moment he had no time to care about it.
The crimson-gold divine sword in his hand trembled incessantly, as if it had sensed an unprecedented threat.
The appearance of these people caused even the Heavenly Buddha Venerable of the Buddhist Realm to involuntarily take two steps back.
The reason is simple: these cultivators clad in eerie black armor possess power far exceeding the realm of the Saint Realm. Furthermore, the law power surrounding them clearly indicates that they are all Supreme Realm experts!
A rough calculation reveals that there are a total of one hundred and twenty statues!
One hundred and twenty supreme beings, including many at the level of Heavenly Venerables and Dao Venerables, what an incredibly powerful force this is!
However, these 120 supreme-level experts, all clad in mysterious black armor, remained indifferent to the bizarre saints being slaughtered by evil spirits, and did not launch any attack on Zhou Xingdou and his companions.
Instead, they stood respectfully on either side of the crack, raising their arms in unison.
In an instant, terrifying power of law, enough to destroy heaven and earth, burst forth from their hands, but it was not used for attack; instead, it condensed into a magnificent and spectacular staircase of law.
The law staircase stood firmly in the very center of the crack.
After accomplishing this feat, the supreme powerhouses went a step further, placing their clenched fists in front of their chests, bowing deeply, and facing the direction of the crack, as if they were waiting for an even more venerable and noble figure to descend into the world.
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying aura surged out from the crack, as if it were about to devour the entire world.
So much so that the void and the heavens and earth began to tremble, emitting mournful cries.
Even the demons summoned from hell, who only knew how to kill, couldn't help but show deep fear at this moment.
Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly emerged from the dark crack.
Surprisingly, this person was quite different from the others who emerged from the crack.
He was dressed in an extremely simple white cloth robe, and his appearance was unremarkable, even extremely ordinary.
His appearance was unremarkable, as plain as a glass of water, truly achieving a state of returning to simplicity.
Such a person, if placed in a crowd, would probably be hard to notice, let alone leave a deep impression.
But this seemingly ordinary person had a smile on his lips that made people feel uneasy, and his body exuded an imperial aura that could suppress everything in the world and all things!
Behind the man in plain clothes, a middle-aged man with sharp, eagle-like eyes and a fierce, wolf-like demeanor followed closely behind.
This man exuded a sinister and profound imperial aura, but strangely, he always followed the man in plain clothes, as if his status was slightly inferior.
The moment these two appeared, the entire scene was filled with fear.
Those with weaker cultivation levels among the various factions were so frightened that their legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground.
Meanwhile, the Xuan Tian Dao Sect disciples, who were under the tight protection of the Xing You Guards, screamed in utter terror:
"Peak Master Ling? How could it be Peak Master Ling?!"
The two Taoist priests, Tianhui and Tiancong, were momentarily distracted by the appearance of these two, and Fang Daokun seized the opportunity to blast them back with a single blow, barely managing to withstand the terrifying attack from the rune.
Fang Daokun, however, did not press his advantage. He even ignored the unguarded Zhou Xingdou and rushed frantically down the steps. Seeing the man in plain clothes with a look of pure joy on his face, he knelt down with a thud.
"Fang Daokun respectfully welcomes Peak Master! Congratulations on your great achievement in divine skills!"
Zhou Xingdou was also staring intently at the man in plain clothes, his face full of disbelief, even doubting whether he had seen it clearly.
Because the plain-clothed man in front of them, who was called Peak Master Ling, was none other than Ling Sanqiu, the Peak Master of the Nine Heavens Peak of the Xuantian Dao Sect, who had been missing for a long time.
Ling Sanqiu also looked at Zhou Xingdou, or rather, Zhou Xingdou was the only one present who deserved his attention. He revealed a slightly teasing expression and spoke to Zhou Xingdou:
"What, it's been so long, does Junior Nephew Xingdou not recognize his senior uncle?"
His words were very kind, without any grand gestures, but they sent a chill down Zhou Xingdou's spine.
Looking at Ling Sanqiu's face, which still felt somewhat familiar to him, Zhou Xingdou suppressed the chill and said with a complicated expression:
"Uncle-Master, I never imagined that after so many years, you would have become a slave to a cult."
Ling Sanqiu, Zhou Xingdou had not had much contact with him, but he always believed that his senior brother was an outstanding person.
He entered the Demon Realm alone, slew three hundred Demon Lords, broke through the Demon Heaven Sect's grand formation, and left triumphantly.
With a single strike, the Primordial Blade Emperor's Dao Heart was shattered, causing the Primordial Blade Emperor to go into seclusion.
The Lord of the Blade Domain invited him to take over the Blade Domain three times, but he refused each time.
But this same person was extremely gentle with his own disciples. He was once an inner disciple of the Xuantian Dao Sect and fought to the death with a quasi-emperor rogue cultivator.
Not to mention Zhou Xingdou, even the entire Xuantian Dao Sect would find it hard to believe that such a person would appear in this situation at this time.
