Chapter 515: Chapter 490: Master and Disciple Reunited_1

Fifth Realm, First Continent.

Next to that imposing Heavenly Tribulation Pillar, which had stood for ten thousand years, tall barren peaks towered into the sky, yet they were still considerably shorter than the pillar itself.

"Swoosh! Swoosh swoosh! Swoosh swoosh swoosh! Swoosh swoosh!"

One by one, figures of astonishing presence descended upon those barren peaks.

The moment they landed, the newcomers respectfully saluted towards the summit of the Heavenly Tribulation Pillar.

Li Bai from the Devil Scale Tribe, Lie Yang from the Yao Clan, Aman the Cyclops, Shajia from the Heaven Clan, Wubi from the Ghost Clan, Chi Feng from the Black Horn Tribe, Jingsha from the Shadow Clan, and Qi Xu from the Flame Clan.

These were the eight Ten-level Bloodline Warriors of the Fifth Realm.

"Great one."

They looked towards White Bone City at the foot of the Heavenly Tribulation Pillar, eyeing a graceful figure wrapped in a blood mist, slowly leaving the White Bone City, floating in the void between the mountains.

A knife, a sword, a hammer, a spear, a mirror, and a flag, six small objects appeared one after another behind Him, radiating a breath that made hearts tremble.

The eight warriors, with their Bloodline reaching the tenth level, saw the Array Eyes within the Heavenly Tribulation Pillar becoming visible one by one, and immediately felt the grand power that had shaken the Fifth Realm for ten thousand years.

So many years had passed, and the mighty divine presence within the seven Heavenly Tribulation Pillars was no longer existent, yet the aura released by the six objects still pressed heavily on their Bloodlines.

It was indeed these seven Heavenly Tribulation Pillars and the seven suppressive artifacts that had prevented the beings of the Fifth Realm from rising for ten thousand years!

"Li Bai."

Luo Hongyan in the blood mist, wearing a black dress and inquiring in an indifferent, emotionless tone, asked, "Those Demon Gods you worship, how much do you know about their plans?"

The cultured and gentle Li Bai, not daring to hide even a word, bowed his head respectfully and said, "Little sister Dazzling Shadow might know a bit more, I’m actually not very clear."

"They have gone behind my back, and without informing all the Outer Realm God Spirits, they created a Demon Fetus in the Demon Abyss Continent of Purgatory, attempting to forge a Sovereign that could stand shoulder to shoulder with me."

Luo Hongyan pursed her lips and scoffed with mocking irony, "It would have been fine if they succeeded, but unfortunately, they are good for nothing but failure."

The knife, sword, hammer, spear, mirror, and flag, six small objects from the Heavenly Tribulation Pillar, suddenly released various glows, illuminating the Heavenly Tribulation Pillar behind Him.

"Woosh!"

His Divine Power reached straight into the heavens, projecting the major events currently unfolding in the Demon Abyss Continent of the Second Realm upon the Heavenly Tribulation Pillar, now shining with a cyan luminescence.

"The barrier sealing the Demon Abyss has been broken, yet the Demon Fetus and the demon nest have split apart and are in an extremely weak state."

"Li Wang, Liu Fu, Dong Shangqing, and Li Yuanli, the four Human True Gods are about to enter the Demon Abyss Continent, aiming to eradicate all those who have fallen to the Demon Tao and to kill the descending Hemo Tian."

"Is this the fruit of their years of secret scheming?"

"A fruit that couldn’t be more rotten!"

He mocked coldly.

The eight mighty Ten-level Bloodline Warriors, watching the images made visible by Him on the Heavenly Tribulation Pillar, realized that the Outer World Demon Gods’ plans had failed.

"I have summoned you here to save your life as well as the entire Devil Scale Tribe."

"Those beings you worship simply do not care for your life or the lives of your fellow tribal members. Do you really think that with just you, Li Bai, and your tribespeople, you could turn the tide against the four Human True Gods?"

He snorted coldly, "Can you even save your daughter Dazzling Shadow?"

Li Bai felt a pang in his heart. On the mountain summit, he knelt on one knee, bowing his head earnestly and pleading, "I implore you, Great One, to use your Divine Skills to spare my daughter’s life."

...

Demon Abyss Continent.

When the sun once again appeared in the sky, and blinding sunlight spilled across the land, the surviving people were unaware that they had just escaped yet another disaster.

Looking up at the sun, which they once found too dazzling, many burst into tears of joy.

But they did not know that someone like Li Wang, a Human True God, had intended to sacrifice this entire intact piece of Fragment Land.

Li Wang had wanted to sacrifice ninety percent of the living beings to halt some unspeakable plan of the Outer World Demon Gods.

Naturally, they were also unaware that it was only because Pang Jian entered the sealing barrier and recklessly began harvesting Demon Element Power that the Demon Abyss Continent saw the light of day again.

Their survival was not because Li Wang and the others had a change of heart, but rather because Pang Jian caused the sealing to fail.

"Woosh!"

The great sun, hidden by the Elder of the Demon Sect from the Immortal Realm, shone with a brilliance no God Spirit dared to touch.

One by one, the previously fracturing dazzling stars were rapidly remade.

The Moon Goddess Ying Yue, upon seeing the first ray of sunlight, knew something was amiss.

She snorted coldly and said to Dazzling Shadow of the Devil Scale Tribe, "You wretched girl, your Demon Clan’s plotting has failed. Where do you think you can flee to?"

"The Demon Clan, aspiring to have a Sovereign emerge among them, is nothing but wishful thinking!"

"If it weren’t for your interference, I would have slain that brat Pang Jian long ago. It’s all your meddling that spoiled my plans!"

After dropping these words, Ying Yue, housed in a Human body, did not hesitate to use her divine power to execute a Secret Skill.

The bright full moon, appearing suddenly with ripples before her ample chest, seemed to transform into a secret portal to the void, through which she promptly slipped away.

"Moon Concealment Technique."

Li Wang’s voice drifted gently.

As the current Sect Master of the Jiuli Sect, and the esteemed Shifu who taught Zhou Yi the "Void Mirror Skill," he was also deeply versed in this art and identified Ying Yue’s escape technique with a single word.

"Boom!"

The bright full moon burst apart suddenly.

Li Wang’s true form, which had been outside the Demon Abyss, emerged quietly at the spot where the moon shattered, reaching into the void with a grand gesture.

"Crack!"

As a spatial rift appeared abruptly, Li Wang’s divine hand, wrapped in the glow of the sun and moon, grabbed Ying Yue, who had slipped into the rift, yanking her back out with force.

"Moon Goddess, Ying Yue."

Li Wang smiled faintly.

He applied a little force, and Ying Yue’s human body turned into a cloud of blood mist.

After killing the puppet, Li Wang’s gaze swept across and then fixed on the dazzling shadow of the Devil Scale Tribe.

"You girl have an exceptional talent, stronger even than your father Li Bai in combat, I really can’t afford to leave you alive."

Li Wang flipped his hand over.

With that motion, a swath of the star river inverted, aiming to first suppress and then crush Dazzling Shadow’s body and demon soul to dust.

"Hum!"

The saw-toothed demon knife suddenly let out a long cry.

Swarms of demon patterns and secret skills pulsed and burst forth with overwhelming divine might, and one after another, realms of the Demon Realm materialized, shattering the makeshift starry sky crafted by Li Wang.

"Eh!"

Li Wang looked slightly surprised and was about to act again when he saw the Demon Subduing Stone Niche descending towards that man-high purple Demon Stone.

Anger flashed in his eyes: "Hemo Tian, as long as you don’t descend directly into Purgatory with a Demon Body, no matter what you do, there’s no way you can turn the tables in the Purgatory ruled over by our Human Race!"

"Dong Shangqing, go and take care of that girl from the Devil Scale Tribe."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Wang’s true body disappeared on the spot and reappeared within the interior of the Demon Subduing Stone Niche.

Inside the Demon Subduing Stone Niche, Hemo Tian, the Outer World Demon God, took possession of Xiang Shengwei, freed all the sealed Demon Gods, and even took control of the Demon Subduing Stone Niche.

A divine soul of Li Wang had just been shattered to pieces by Him.

Yet no sooner had Li Wang’s divine soul perished than his true body suddenly appeared there, making even Hemo Tian helplessly sigh.

...

Elsewhere.

"You lucky brat,"

Li Yuanli, having successfully found the Kirin Bell, finally let out a sigh of relief and said, "Your old man has come, so you’re safe now. The Sky-covering Demon Array is no more, and the schemes of those great demons from beyond the heavens have also ended."

"Is it because of Pang Jian?" Li Jie looked up into the sky.

Above, lying flat in the high sky, Pang Jian was still absorbing demon element power.

But there was a tall and domineering figure in blue, standing beside Pang Jian with a sword.

"Pu Zhaotian actually came!"

Seeing the somewhat bulky blue figure, a relaxed Li Jie who was unaware of Pu Zhaotian’s failed Divine Enthronement, calmed down: "If his Shifu has come, then there’s nothing to worry about."

"Nothing to worry about? He’s fallen into the Demon Tao, who knows what he’ll become when he wakes up," Li Yuanli shook his head and said with a sigh, "But it is precisely because he became demonically possessed, because he absorbed the dense demonic energy, that the demon array couldn’t be maintained."

"What’s meant to be will be."

"He saved the survivors of the Demon Abyss Continent, but paid the price of demonic possession, sigh."

Li Yuanli grabbed the Kirin Bell and began to take Li Jie out to the outer world, not caring about the disciples of the Demon Sect fleeing all around, nor about Dazzling Shadow from the Devil Scale Tribe.

...

In the sky, next to Pang Jian.

Pu Zhaotian was anxiously rubbing his hands and waiting uneasily for Pang Jian to wake up, feeling rather worried.

He didn’t know if Pang Jian, upon opening his eyes, would turn into a demonically possessed individual like Wu Yuan, like Chen Xuanfeng, or Qu Long.

Or worse, be directly possessed by an Outer World Demon God and become just another human puppet of the Demon God.

"The first scenario isn’t too bad; there might still be a chance for redemption. But if it’s the second, if he’s possessed by a Demon God, it would mean his self-consciousness would be erased, then there would truly be no remedy," Pu Zhaotian lamented.

In the Miniature World within the sword.

The demon fetus that had fiercely battled Pang Jian once again fell into a state of split and chaotic will, suddenly becoming eerily quiet.

The Devil Sky Chaos Cave that had been bombarded by Pang Jian suddenly changed hands in the blink of an eye, now controlled by the prince of the Ghost Demon Clan—Source Demon.

"Pang Jian!"

"That box!"

"That boundless place of darkness!"

"There, perhaps we can suppress Him! It’s very difficult to kill Him and if He dies, I die too! First suppress and bind Him, and we’ll find a way to deal with it later. We mustn’t let Him merge with the demon nest!"

After much contemplation, Source Demon, who had finally found a way, screamed his heart out in the Miniature World within the sword.

In an instant, Pang Jian woke up.

His golden Spiritual Soul instantly returned to its place, and he abruptly opened his eyes, only to see the familiar blue-clad, hand-rubbing, anxiously waiting big fellow.

"Shifu," Pang Jian said with a toothy smile.

"Slap!"

In his excitement, Pu Zhaotian slapped the back of Pang Jian’s head and laughed aloud, "You little rascal, you didn’t fall into demonic possession, you still remember to call me Shifu!"

"Great! It’s good you’re alive!"

"Little Pang Jian, you’ll have to give me a good explanation later about you being a Realm God!"

Pu Zhaotian danced with joy, pointing towards Liu Fu in the distance, yelling, "Liu Fu, does Pang Jian look like he’s fallen into demonic possession, lost his spiritual intelligence?"

"Li Yuanli, come take a look, see if my disciple is all right?"

"Dong Shangqing, stop chasing that girl! Is a little girl from the Devil Scale Tribe worth your diligence? Come, quickly take a look at Pang Jian, see if he’s fallen into the Demon Tao?"
