Chapter 2137 - 2137 2127 Demonic Clan Powerhouses

2137: Chapter 2127: Demonic Clan Powerhouses 2137: Chapter 2127: Demonic Clan Powerhouses The old man looked like a withered corpse, yet the pressure he emitted weighed heavily upon Long Yan.

“How do you feel, kid?

Satisfied!?”

It seemed that he took great pleasure in the awe-struck gazes of the people around him.

A surge of excitement flashed in the old man’s eyes, for it had been many years since he last appeared before others, having exhausted great effort to avoid the oppression of the world.

The true name of the old man had long been forgotten, even he himself could not recall the life he once lived.

His legend and title were but a faint whisper in the Cultivation World: Elder Xuehe.

“I’m curious how Senior managed to evade the world’s Rule?”

It was common sense that Divine Emperor Powerhouses could not exist in the Star Domain, yet the appearance of Elder Xuehe broke this notion.

Driven by curiosity, Long Yan could not help but continue his inquiries, despite his precarious situation.

Seeing Long Yan’s respectful demeanor, Elder Xuehe was rather pleased.

Initially, he had been angry because Blood Maple was the current Sect Leader, and Long Yan had disobeyed his word.

But now, witnessing Long Yan’s humility, Elder Xuehe was not in a hurry to kill him.

After all, he was certain Long Yan could not escape the palm of his hand.

That was the sheer simplicity of a Divine Emperor Powerhouse’s absolute confidence.

“We ascended to Divine Emperors through the normal process.”

In the murky eyes of the old man twinkled specks of light, as a man nearing his hundredth year reflected on his past life’s experiences.

“After experiencing tribulation lightning, we felt an incredible power surge into our bodies.

That moment was when we truly became Divine Emperors.”

Elder Xuehe patted his chest, recalling the most glorious moment of his lifetime, breaking free from the constraints of Heaven Dao and becoming its favorite, seeking his own Immortal Path—every cultivator’s proudest achievement.

“But…”

Suddenly, a hint of fear flickered in the old man’s eyes.

It was during that time they accepted all the accolades and glory, and it was then that Heaven and Earth trembled in apprehension.

Elder Xuehe spoke slowly, his words conveying a sense of urgency that made even the three people listening tense up.

In The Void, a Demon Clan’s expert emerged.

As Elder Xuehe spoke, a palpable sense of fear could be detected in his voice—to the point that it even began to quiver due to the depth of his fear.

With a mere wave of his hand, the three newly ascended Divine Emperor Powerhouses were defeated.

That powerful, the three of them didn’t even see his movements clearly.

Undoubtedly, such terrifying fluctuations belonged to at least a Divine Emperor Ninth Level powerhouse.

Hearing Elder Xuehe mention this level, even Long Yan’s heart skipped a beat.

One must understand what the concept of a Divine Emperor Ninth Level meant.

Most of the Human Race Guardian were only at the Eighth Level, and even Zhuge Shenhou had only reached the Seventh Level before.

To say nothing of appearing in the Star Domain, such a powerhouse in the Sacred Continent was a preeminent force all unto themselves.

“Did that Demonic Clan’s expert not kill you all?”

Sun Ling interjected inappropriately.

A Divine Emperor Ninth Level powerhouse was something they hadn’t even heard of, let alone seen.

Long Yan had a vague idea about this person, but he wasn’t completely sure yet, so he waited for Elder Xuehe to continue.

“No, he merely injected a stream of Demonic Qi into our bodies.”

A bitter smile appeared on the weathered old face of Elder Xuehe.

At that level, they were mere ants to such a being, and who would intentionally crush an ant underfoot?

The process of Ascension is manifested by tribulation lightning.

After overcoming it, one would be rejected by this world and sent to the Sacred Continent.

However, Elder Xuehe felt no such rejection at that time; it was as if they had become one with this world.

“After that, I never found a way to break this Demonic Qi Seal, no matter what methods or means I tried, none had any effect.”

Afterwards, that Demonic Clan powerhouse even used his Great Divine Abilities to seal off this region of Heaven and Earth, and the words of Elder Blood River made the three people’s faces reveal a hint of curiosity.

What does it mean to seal off this region of Heaven and Earth?

Elder Blood River, as if intrigued, went on to explain that to seal Heaven and Earth, in actuality, was to seal the Spiritual Energy of this region.

Ever since they were sealed, let alone Ascension, even cultivators of Half-Step Divine Emperor rank had become few and far between.

Elder Blood River’s dim eyes revealed a trace of regret, for after using his Great Divine Power to seal the Heaven and Earth, he had been struck by tribulation lightning and then disappeared without a trace.

This seal had remained until now, and the Star Domain within it gradually declined day by day.

In nearly a thousand years, no one had been able to ascend, which speaks volumes about the situation.

Upon hearing this, Long Yan felt a strange clarity arise in his heart—a Seal that did not affect passage, yet was utterly terrifying, essentially cutting off the lifeblood of the Human Clan from its very source.

The Human Clan was already not at an advantage, and this action by the Demon Clan undoubtedly severed all possibilities for the humans.

After that, Elder Blood River kept hiding within his Blood Sect, not concerning himself with worldly affairs, working to break this Demonic Qi Seal.

He was nearing the end of his life, and in this world of progressively declining Spiritual Energy, his cultivation had made no progress.

“Kid, you’ve heard the story now, and you’ve come to understand, haven’t you?

The Human Race’s fate has run out.”

Elder Blood River sighed, uncertain whether he lamented the destiny of the Human Race or the approaching end of his own life.

“Is there really no method to lift this Seal?”

Long Yan asked with furrowed brows, wondering how he could possibly find Lingxi if he was unable to ascend to the Divine Emperor.

Long Yan felt as if all his efforts up to this point had gone to waste.

Seeing Long Yan’s despondent look, Elder Blood River snorted with mockery, but his twitching mouth could barely smile.

It was quite strong of someone to not collapse upon hearing such news; it had taken Elder Blood River many years to accept this reality himself.

“There’s no method at all.

If there really were one, I wouldn’t be here.”

“No one has found a way to break through that Seal yet, not even those from the Emperor Clan who have looked into it.

They looked and then there was no further news after they left.”

Elder Blood River spread his palms; this was the harsh reality, whether it be Long Yan or any other cultivator in all the Star Domains—they were all casualties of the Human-Demon War.

“Alright, Kid, don’t think too far ahead.”

A trace of ruthlessness flashed through Elder Blood River’s eyes, he had stayed inside the Blood Sect for too long, so he became a bit too talkative for a moment.

Now it was time to send the person before him to Huang Quan.

“After all, you’re about to die right here.”

The other party’s words snapped Long Yan back to alertness.

Right, whether he could survive the present moment was still in question, let alone future events.

“I’m sorry, although you’ve told me a lot of things, I can’t die here just yet.”

Long Yan wondered why he was bothering with so many thoughts.

What others couldn’t accomplish, he might well be able to; after all, it was by achieving what others couldn’t that he had made it this far.

“Oh?

Are you having second thoughts, young man?”
