Who Is the Hunter?
The Samsara Society come to an end, and another major event will follow.
Since most of the Heavenly Sovereign of the Great Thousand World had gathered, the Great Thousand Palace widely distributed Great Thousand Gold Invitation, inviting the Heavenly Sovereign to participate in the Great Thousand Alliance.
In ancient times, the Immortal Great Emperor sacrificed his life to seal the Heavenly Evil God in the Northern Desolation Hill, but he was unable to eliminate him.
After that, every thousand years, the Great Thousand Palace would activate the Great Thousand Alliance, issue the Great Thousand Invitation, and invite the Heavenly Sovereign of the Great Thousand World to gather at the Northern Desolation Hill, pool their Spiritual Power, activate the sealing power, and obliterate the remaining life force of the Heavenly Evil God.
This is the 7749th time the Great Thousand Alliance has been formed. If nothing unexpected happens, the Heavenly Evil God will die completely after this. The Outer Realm Evil Clan has made many preparations and will surely erupt in a full-scale war with the Great Thousand World to rescue the Heavenly Evil God.
However, before that, a small accident disrupted the situation.
Because of the sudden emergence of Flame Emperor Yan, who rose to the pinnacle like a volcanic eruption, the Outer Realm Evil Clan were completely suppressed. Even the strongest, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor, was forced to feign compliance and switch to cultivating Spiritual Power. The other evil races were even more helpless.
Even though the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor made a bold advance, the Martial Ancestor, who came from behind, once again sealed the coffin lid of the Outer Realm Evil Clan, leaving no chance whatsoever.
Therefore, the Great Thousand Great Thousand World side relaxed a lot this time Great Thousand Alliance – so what if the Heavenly Evil God breaks free from the seal? With the Flame Emperor Martial Ancestor suppressing him, the Heavenly Evil God can't cause much of a stir!
Six months later, on the Northern Desolation Hill.
The Northern Desolation Hill is located in the central area of Great Thousand World, similar to the Central Continent of the Dou Qi Continent. It should have been an extremely prosperous and sacred place for cultivation.
Indeed, this is true. In ancient times, the site of the Northern Desolation Hill was originally a vast and boundless Super Continent called the Northern Desolation Continent. It was not only not barren, but it was also one of the most prosperous and powerful regions in the Great Thousand World.
It's just that the Outer Realm Evil Clan deliberately choose good places to attack when they invade the Great Thousand World —they don't care if they damage the place.
The Outer Realm Evil Clan chose the most powerful Northern Desolation Continent for its decisive battle against the Great Thousand World. The battle between the Immortal Great Emperor and the Heavenly Evil God completely shattered this Super Continent.
Since no powerful being at the Ruler Realm was able to transform the world and repair the continent, the remaining fragments were only barely pieced together to form the present-day Northern Desolation Hill, no longer resembling Super Continent.
The reason why the Northern Desolation Hill is called "Hill" instead of "Continent" and the Graveyard Keeper is also called "tomb keeper" is because the land is covered with hills, burying the strongmen of an era.
These powerful figures were all renowned Heavenly Sovereign in life, but after death, their bodies were buried like corpses in a mass grave, simply piled up to form a hill, and that was considered their burial.
The Graveyard Keeper is protecting not only the seal that suppresses the Heavenly Evil God, but also the nameless heroes who fought for the Great Thousand World until their last drop of blood.
However, not many people are able to come and sweep the tombs of their ancestors and offer flowers.
The area surrounding the Northern Desolation Hill is full of dangerous places that have remained unchanged for tens of thousands of years. The Spatial Turbulence that can tear apart Sovereign in an instant is considered a peaceful scene.
Even on relatively stable land, there were still wisps of the Heavenly Evil God's aura seeping out through the seal.
That terrifying suppression at the level of life itself is enough to evoke the instinctive fear in living beings; even Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign would tremble at it.
Therefore, apart from the Grave Keeper Lineage to keep the seal, the rest of the people will only gather at the Northern Desolation Hill in the Great Thousand Alliance.
In the center of the Northern Desolation Hill, there is an enormous black plaza with mottled black pillars standing upright. Upon closer inspection, one will discover that these pillars are actually massive Bronze Coffin placed vertically.
The Bronze Coffin, like nails, were firmly nailed to this dark square, connected to each other to form a powerful array, the Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array.
It subtly exudes a hidden aura, which even Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign would have to grovel before.
This is the great formation that seals the Heavenly Evil God. The Heavenly Sovereign invited by the Great Thousand Alliance is to inject Spiritual Power into the Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array to activate its power.
However, unlike previous Great Thousand Alliance, this time the formation is presided over by the Ruler Realm expert.
Lin Dong stood calmly at the center of the great formation, his gaze piercing through layers of seals to look at the Heavenly Evil God inside.
Having reached the Ruler Realm, a realm where one's full name is inscribed on the Sky Ranking, the Immortal Great Emperor used his life as a catalyst to activate the seal formed by the World Will. Before him, there would be no more secrets.
Lin Dong could clearly see that the Heavenly Evil God, who was extremely weak within the seal, also sensed that the Demonic Qi that should have been rejected by the Great Thousand World was no longer present—in its place was a vast Spiritual Power that was only slightly inferior to Lin Dong's.
"You're almost catching up to me before even leaving your name? But that's not enough..."
Lin Dong murmured softly. Not far from the plaza, the Half-Step Ruler Realm Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor proposed to "say goodbye" to the Heavenly Evil God. Xiao Yan did not object, and Lin Dong could not refuse. He simply sent two avatars equivalent to the Ruler Realm beings to keep an eye on him.
"Or perhaps it will restore you; it truly is, as Flame Emperor said, a supreme tonic that can reach the heavens..."
Lin Dong's expression was icy. He stopped looking at the Heavenly Evil God, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
As one Heavenly Sovereign after another gathered, time passed by second by second, and in the blink of an eye, the millennium cycle of the Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array quietly arrived.
The entire Northern Desolation Hill suddenly trembled violently, as if struck by a rolling earth dragon.
On the black plaza, the upright Bronze Coffin that had been standing quietly began to tremble. Streams of Spiritual Power burst forth from it, forming divine runes that then connected with each other, intertwining above the Northern Desolation Hill to form a grand array that exuded an ancient and mysterious aura.
"Martial Ancestor, the time has come. Please activate the great formation to erase the last life imprint of that Heavenly Evil God!"
Upon noticing this unusual activity, Qin Tian, who had presided over the Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array in previous years, immediately spoke up to remind them.
"Hmm." Lin Dong nodded lightly, and with a wave of his sleeve, the Space Power surged. In the blink of an eye, one Heavenly Sovereign after another was teleported onto one Bronze Coffin after another.
The numerous Heavenly Sovereign remained expressionless. Under Lin Dong's leadership, their Spiritual Power surged wildly, transforming into a vast torrent that continuously flowed into the Bronze Coffin.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
As the massive Heavenly Sovereign made their move, the originally pitch-black Bronze Coffin suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and where the Bronze Coffin touched the ground, a powerful spiritual light burst forth.
In just a few breaths, the spiritual light spread to every corner of the Northern Desolation Hill, like a thin film covering the earth.
However, what puzzled the Heavenly Sovereign who had participated in the Great Thousand Alliance before was that the commotion caused by activating the Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array this time seemed to be a little less.
The terrifying Demonic Qi that seemed capable of destroying the world was gone.
However, in any case, without the interference and resistance of Demonic Qi, the pressure on the Heavenly Sovereign will be less, which is ultimately a good thing.
As an indescribable surge of Spiritual Power was poured in, a mysterious light continuously gathered at the center of the formation, eventually transforming into a slightly mottled spear.
There was an extremely primal power wrapped around that spear, as if it originated from the beginning of the world. Even Lin Dong, who had already stepped into the Ruler Realm, turned his head slightly – he could feel that if he were pierced by this spear, he would be injured and bleed.
The next moment, the Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array trembled continuously, Mottled Ancient Spear suddenly transformed into a beam of light, descending from the sky at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, and shooting straight into the earth.
The ancient spear disappeared from everyone's sight, but all the Heavenly Sovereign could hear a suppressed and painful gasp coming from the depths of the earth.
In the past, this would have inevitably caused the heavens and earth to collapse, with Demonic Qi and Spiritual Power colliding violently, and the aftershocks would have shattered the endless mountain range of the Northern Desolation Hill.
This time, there was no earth-shattering scene. Everyone could clearly feel the weakness and pain of the Heavenly Evil God, which invigorated them. They continued to increase their Spiritual Power output, determined to completely annihilate the Heavenly Evil God within the Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array.
The Northern Desolation Hill was shrouded in a light curtain formed by the Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array. All the Heavenly Sovereign concealed their auras and poured all their Spiritual Power into the Bronze Coffin, without wasting a single bit of energy, making the scene quite peaceful and serene.
High in the sky, however, a different scene unfolded. The Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array radiated boundless power, and every incense stick's time, a new, Mottled Ancient Spear would be condensed and shot into the depths of the earth.
One after another Mottled Ancient Spear were continuously condensed and shot into the depths of the earth. As the number increased, the breathing of the Heavenly Evil God became less and less loud, until it was almost imperceptible.
In the blink of an eye, all Ninety-nine Demon Vanquishing Ancient Spears were condensed, and the Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array seemed to have lost its mission, slowly dissipating in mid-air above the Northern Desolation Hill.
The Bronze Coffin that had stood tall in the black square now seemed to have lost all their power, and began to shake and crumble, eventually collapsing into pieces.
"The Heavenly Evil God... he's dead already?"
Deep doubts arose from the hearts of every Heavenly Sovereign present. Even if a Heavenly Sovereign died or Demon Emperor was killed, strange phenomena would appear in the world. But how could this terrifying Heavenly Evil God die so peacefully?
No one had experience—this was the final cycle of the Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array. Before this, no one had ever seen the Heavenly Evil God die, nor had anyone ever witnessed the Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array succeed.
However, according to the speculations of many Heavenly Sovereign, the commotion should be quite significant.
However, before everyone could voice their doubts and discuss them, Lin Dong waved his sleeve and led everyone away from the plaza.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The moment Lin Dong made his move, the entire Northern Desolation Hill began to shake violently.
The Northern Desolation Hill, which had buried countless powerful figures, now resembled a glass bottle. Terrifying ravines, deep enough to see the bottom, appeared out of nowhere. The dark plaza where everyone had been standing shattered on the spot, revealing a bottomless abyss below.
A boundless Spiritual Power, so vast that even the Northern Desolation Hill could not withstand it, surged into the sky from the abyss, sweeping everything away and scraping the ground three feet deep in its wake, demonstrating the supreme divine might of the central phantom.
"I don't know whether to feel ashamed or fortunate that you and Flame Emperor actually allowed me to switch to cultivating Spiritual Power and treated me as a supplement for the Great Thousand World."
"This gave me a chance to catch my breath. No longer rejected by the Great Thousand World, my strength far exceeded your imagination."
"However, I also admire you all. After all, you have all reached the level of leaving your names on the Sky Ranking. It is not an exaggeration to call you the rulers of the Great Thousand World."
"Therefore, pledge allegiance to me now, and I will allow you to join the Sacred Clan, where you will hold a position second only to me. I also promise not to cause too much damage to the Great Thousand World and to preserve your strength as much as possible."
"Then, the two of you will follow me to conquer other great worlds."
A deep voice emanated from the phantom, sending chills down the spines of the Heavenly Sovereign.
They were unaware of Flame Emperor Martial Ancestor's plans, nor did they know what choices the two would make.
However, the next second, Martial Ancestor Lin Dong gave them a reassuring answer—
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor, who had been stared at by Lin Dong's two avatars, truly died at this moment. His corpse was casually thrown into the abyss formed by the escape of the Heavenly Evil God. Eight divine lights of different colors sealed it, and streams of Spiritual Power drifted out, causing the Death Qi Northern Desolation Hill to regain some vitality.
"Flame Emperor Yan once told me that the Outer Realm Evil Clan has occupied about one-tenth of the continents of the Great Thousand World. The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor is still at the Half-Step Ruler Realm, and there is a high probability that he can condense a Primal Dharma Body. I just checked, and it is indeed so."
Lin Dong remained completely calm, as if everything was under control. "Once you are dealt with, the Endless Fire Domain will find a new master for this Primal Dharma Body."
The illusory figure stared at Lin Dong for a moment, then slowly dissipated, and a figure slowly walked out. He was wearing a white robe, on which the Stars of the Heavens were engraved. As the robe fluttered, he appeared ethereal and immortal.
This was none other than the Heavenly Evil God. His face was extremely handsome, but the nine jet-black pupils all over his body made him appear exceptionally sinister.
"It seems you and that Flame Emperor are still unaware." Having had his most loyal subordinate killed in front of him by Lin Dong, the Heavenly Evil God's expression also turned grim.
"I originally had Nine Eyes, but back then, under the suppression of the Great Thousand World's World Will, I could only open four eyes. Yet, I was still invincible. It was only to adapt to the environment of the Great Thousand World that I chose to be sealed by the Immortal Great Emperor..."
"Now that my Nine Eyes are fully open, I can freely devour the Spiritual Power of the Great Thousand World. Even if you have two Ruler Realm, you still shouldn't disobey me..."
The Heavenly Evil God spoke calmly, but Lin Dong dared not be careless. He could sense the power lurking within the Heavenly Evil God's body. Even though Lin Dong had split into three parts with the One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones, he was still not necessarily a match for the Heavenly Evil God.
But Flame Emperor Yan was preparing something and made no move.
"In short, I still thank you for your ambition, for treating me as prey, for gathering so many Heavenly Sovereign, and for pooling your Spiritual Power to serve as nourishment for me..."
"Since you refuse to follow me, then in return, I will use all my strength to completely annihilate you two and destroy the Great Thousand World..."
