So it turned out that Erlang Shen's True Spirit had descended, taking on five opponents head-on, slaughtering from east to west, from south to north, and wiping out the five great heavenly demons.
Some were called Heavenly Demon Kings, others Devil Masters. Though they did not know what status these five great heavenly demons held in the demon realm above, judging by their titles alone, they were certainly no ordinary figures.
All they could say was that the Manifest Sage True Lord Erlang was truly imposing and overbearing, terrifying beyond measure. He was indeed worthy of being the war-god-level figure openly displayed by the Daoist Sect.
Which raised the question...
Just how many heavenly demons had descended from the Upper Realm this time? What was their purpose? What methods did they possess? Was the Great Dark Heaven Heartless True Desire Demon Ancestor providing cover, or was he one of them?
Did the immortals of the Upper Realm know about this? Had any great figures descended?
Yuan Lin set down the book and muttered, "If Qingyuan Wonderful Truth True Lord descends again, then everything will be settled."
Dongyang Zi snorted. "How spineless. Why not ask the Supreme Pure Dao Ancestor to descend instead?"
"That would naturally be for the best—" Yuan Lin paused, then said awkwardly, "This disciple would not dare. This world is our world. The Dao Ancestor has already passed down methods to exterminate demons. The heavenly demons have not descended in their true bodies either. If we still cannot slay demon heads and protect this land, then what Dao are we cultivating? What arts are we learning?"
"Good that you know it." Dongyang Zi resumed rocking in his chair. "They are only a few heavenly demons. When soldiers come, generals block them; when water comes, earth dams it.
