Crow Daoist vs. Yaoguang Sacred Lord

Divine power surged, and demonic might reached the heavens. The cultivators waiting to pass through the Domain Gate nearby were utterly unlucky, directly struck by the oppressive aura, foaming at the mouth, and fainting!

Even within Yaoguang Sacred Land, many disciples and elders cried out in alarm, "Are the demon race attacking?"

At that moment, one hundred and eight rings of divine light bloomed from deep within Yaoguang, quelling the disturbance caused by the overwhelming demonic energy.

At the same time, a calm, clear voice came, "Which esteemed senior has graced my Yaoguang?"

A divine bridge formed in the sky, and the Yaoguang Sacred Lord calmly walked across it, surrounded by one hundred and eight glowing rings, each crystal clear and brilliant, like a divine king patrolling the heavens!

"Still as flashy as ever, even at two thousand years old!" Crow Daoist, unable to stand the sight of his body covered in rings, mocked him.

"How dare you! How dare you, demon daoist, disrespect the Sacred Lord!" The numerous Grand Elders who had accompanied the Yaoguang Sacred Lord shouted angrily.

"I'm speaking to your Sacred Lord; what are you little ones interrupting for? Scram!" Old Crow Daoist shouted back mercilessly, his roar shaking mountains and rivers, even rippling space itself!

Although these Grand Elders stood on the Immortal Stage, Old Crow Daoist had been a top-tier mighty figure fifteen hundred years ago. How could they resist?

Some Grand Elders had blood spilling from the corners of their mouths, and several newly promoted Grand Elders even fell directly from the sky!

Seeing that even the powerful Grand Elders were injured by a single roar from this demon daoist, the Yaoguang disciples were all terrified. What kind of peerless demon is this?

"So it's you, old crow. I thought you'd long since exhausted your lifespan and died in some forgotten corner!" The Yaoguang Sacred Lord calmly blocked Crow Daoist's imposing aura.

"Hmph! Even if you die, I, this old daoist, won't!" Crow Daoist snorted coldly.

The Yaoguang Sacred Lord couldn't be bothered to argue with him. He scanned the surroundings, then frowned and asked, "You haven't appeared for so many years, and the moment you do, you come to my Yaoguang to stir up trouble. Are you perhaps implying that my Yaoguang has no capable people?"

Crow Daoist looked displeased. "It should be you who's bullying me! It's rare for me, this old daoist, to follow the rules for once, yet you Yaoguang make things difficult for me at every turn. You're clearly looking down on me!"

The Yaoguang Sacred Lord felt puzzled. He summoned the attendant by the mountain gate who hadn't fainted yet and questioned him, then his mouth twitched.

He had thought this old crow, like Peacock King of the Southern Domain, had been invited by Yan Ruyu, the Demon Emperor's descendant, to assist. But it was just for a trivial matter like borrowing a Domain Gate?

The Yaoguang Sacred Lord secretly cursed his bad luck, then said seriously, "Then what do you want?"

"Hehe! If you fight me, this old daoist, it'll be settled!" Crow Daoist finished speaking and immediately made his move, shooting countless fiery feathers from behind him!

After comprehending the Immortal Flame these past few days, his bottleneck had shown signs of loosening. He was just looking for a Sacred Lord to test his skills against!

"Hmph! How long can those old bones of yours fight?" The Yaoguang Sacred Lord was not one to be trifled with. Divine power surged with every movement, sacred light integrated into one, his body like a great Dao furnace, and his essence blood soared upward like a wolf smoke!

Crow Daoist unleashed a massive handprint, and the sky-filling flames dyed the clouds red, obscuring the sun. Even space was scorched and distorted!

The Yaoguang Sacred Lord radiated ten thousand rays of sacred light, purifying everything. The sea of fire was purified until it had no temperature, appearing like a mere illusion!

In an instant, the two had exchanged more than a dozen blows in the sky. Their sounds were like mountains collapsing, their forms like chaos reopening, leaving the people of the Sacred Land mesmerized and unable to tear themselves away!

"That demon daoist can't be the Sacred Lord's match, can he?" The Yaoguang Saintess, Yao Xi, looked at the sky and asked nervously.

"Logically, the Sacred Lord's vital energy is at its peak, and the demon daoist's magic power is old but firm. Both sides should have a chance to win. Why do I feel the Sacred Lord is being suppressed?" The Yaoguang Saint Son murmured to himself.

Despite his words, he wasn't worried.

As the Saint Son, he was already qualified to access many secrets within the sect, knowing how astonishing the Sacred Land's foundation was. Forget Crow Daoist; even if a Saint were resurrected, they could not humiliate the Sacred Lord within the Sacred Land!

After watching for a while, his attention fell on Shen Ye and the other person not far away.

As a successor of the Ruthless Great Emperor's Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art, he had an inexplicable sensitivity to various powerful physiques.

And that elegant young man attracted him even more strongly than the Desolate Ancient Saint Physique!

Noticing his unusual behavior, Yao Xi curiously followed his gaze. "Is there something wrong with those two?"

The Yaoguang Saint Son calmly withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, "Nothing, it's just that that fellow daoist subtly gives me a feeling of danger!"

"Huh? You must be joking, right? He's only at Dao Palace First Heaven!" Yao Xi said, then suddenly let out an "Oh!" "Is that person…?"

"You know him?" The Yaoguang Saint Son quickly reacted. He had seen a portrait of this person before. "He's the one who made a splash during the Demon Emperor's Tomb incident four years ago!"

"I heard he shot to prominence four years ago. I thought he'd be some peerless genius, but I didn't expect him to only be at Dao Palace First Heaven now!" Yao Xi sighed and shook her head, clearly disappointed with Shen Ye's cultivation level.

Breaking into Dao Palace from Sea of Wheels and Other Shore was a Major Realm breakthrough. To achieve it in just four years was considered genius in the eyes of ordinary people, but to Saint Son-level geniuses like them, it seemed mediocre!

"Realm isn't everything!" The Yaoguang Saint Son shook his head. He believed the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art's judgment wouldn't be wrong.

Just then, the two constantly clashing parties in the sky finally separated.

Crow Daoist's clothes were torn in a few places, but the Yaoguang Sacred Lord had blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, clearly at a disadvantage in the previous battle.

"You're actually close to taking that step?" The Yaoguang Sacred Lord was horrified, losing his composure for the first time.

Even his senior brother, whose lifespan was also nearing its end, was stuck at the final step, seeing no hope. How could this old crow do it?

"Hahaha!" Crow Daoist laughed triumphantly. He had no inheritance, but he had an opportunity!

Comprehending the Immortal Flame—this was an opportunity that not even ancient emperors and great emperors of past generations had!

"Hmph! It seems I can't let you leave!"

"If you have the ability, then keep this old daoist here!"

Just as the two were about to start fighting again, a sigh came from below. "If you keep fighting, the Domain Gate will be destroyed!"

The Yaoguang Sacred Lord frowned slightly. This young man shouldn't be a disciple of Yaoguang, right? So lacking in discernment!

Just as he waited for Crow Daoist's furious reaction, he saw the old crow chuckle, "Haha, I was too absorbed in the fight, almost forgot about the important matter!"

His behavior made the Yaoguang disciples and elders almost pop their eyes out. Is this still that peerless demon who was about to fight their Sacred Lord at the slightest disagreement?

Could he have been possessed by a ghost?

The Yaoguang Sacred Lord was also startled, reassessing Shen Ye. "Are you the young man from the Demon Emperor's Tomb incident?"

Crow Daoist blinked. This old show-off actually knows His Highness. Looks like my employer is quite the celebrity! I'll have to do some digging after this.

Shen Ye nodded slightly, neither humble nor arrogant. "We wish to borrow the Domain Gate. We hope the Sacred Lord will grant our request!"

Since Shen Ye had offered a way out, Yaoguang was happy to take it.

Although he could wield an Extreme Dao Emperor Armament, this was a Sacred Land. Using an Emperor Armament in his own territory would mean dragging the other party down with him, wouldn't it?

In any case, Yaoguang had no substantial conflict with this old demon. He'd leave that headache for the Ji Family.
