Ancient Demons Assemble

Bang!

In the Void, a girl in a pale yellow dress was fiercely fighting three Ancient Demons.

Enveloped in Immortal Arts, the surroundings swept across the Void like a waterfall, creating a magnificent spectacle.

Amidst the torrential waterfall's Immortal Arts flow, a Sword Light suddenly slashed out, striking the head of one of the Ancient Demon, only producing Dao Scale were scraped against it.

"Three Ancient Demon, and I couldn't even stop them!"

Gu Xingwan was shocked. She was also at the True Immortal Realm Perfection, the same level as this Ancient Demon. However, at the same level, she could kill the Ancient Demon with great ease at the Frontier, but here, she was in danger at every turn.

Suddenly, one of the Ancient Demon in the middle exerted its power, its eyes turning scarlet, and a huge phantom appeared behind it, holding an extremely long writing brush.

The brushstrokes were like a black shadow, sweeping across the Void.

Gu Xingwan felt a sudden tremor in her heart. She had a feeling that she must not be touched by that brush, or she would surely die!

"Hide!"

She hurriedly dodged, revealing her Dharma Form behind her, unleashing her strongest power. Her figure shot out from the Void like a soft stream of water, narrowly avoiding the sweeping brush.

But if you manage to avoid it once, you might not be so lucky the second time.

"This is... the Ancient Demon Royal Clan?"

When Gu Xingwan saw the dark phantom, she remembered the Intelligence her grandfather had given about the Ancient Demon, and her expression changed. No wonder this Ancient Demon's Primordial Spirit was so powerful, making her feel immense pressure.

At this moment, the Ancient Demon Royal Clan unleashed his Royal Secret Art, no longer holding back. His Primordial Spirit power surged forth, and together with the black shadow, he once again wielded the brush.

The Void seemed to be torn apart by the brush, containing some deadly rule.

Gu Xingwan's pupils contracted as she tried to dodge, but the two Ancient Demon beside her suddenly roared, the shockwave causing her Primordial Spirit to tremble slightly and her thoughts to become briefly confused.

In that instant, the brush swept across.

Bang!

Suddenly, a Sword Light flashed, and the dark brush was sliced in two.

Gu Xingwan was a little stunned, but reacted quickly, creating some distance and turning her head to look, where she saw the figure that made her extremely happy.

It's you!

Upon seeing that it was Li Hao, Gu Xingwan's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly.

From the brief time she spent with the boy in her grandfather's Courtyard, to watching him rise step by step to become the most dazzling and prominent person in the Ancient Immortal Realm, the boy's mark on her heart has become increasingly deep.

But later, she rarely had the chance to meet him alone again, and she vaguely sensed that the gap between them was widening.

Li Hao looked at the Ancient Demon with a solemn expression. The attack from the black brush had given him a sense of unease. He felt that if he touched it, something bad would happen to him. Therefore, he immediately used his own Sole Self Sword Dao.

Fortunately, the Sole Self Sword Dao now contains the power of Time and Space, and it still managed to cut the brush in half.

"Die!"

Li Hao gave the Ancient Demon no time to react, swiftly turning his Sword Light and galloping away.

"Roar!"

The Ancient Demon Royal Clan's crimson eyes widened, and he let out a furious roar of resentment. His demonic power surged forth, but before he could move again, his body suddenly stiffened.

The Sword Light sliced through his head, and the power of his Primordial Spirit shattered the Primordial Spirit within his body as well.

Then, the Sword Light shifted, swiftly piercing the heads of the other two Ancient Demons and killing them.

The three Ancient Demon lost their life force in the blink of an eye, their Primordial Spirit extinguished, and they died completely.

Li Hao raised his hand, skillfully slicing open Spatial Rift and taking their bodies into it before looking at the girl beside him.

"Haven't seen you for a long time."

Li Hao greeted him and smiled.

Although the girl liked to sulk in the Courtyard, Li Hao didn't bother with her out of respect for her grandfather.

How did you end up here?

Seeing Li Hao kill three Ancient Demons in the blink of an eye, including the Royal Ancient Demon, Gu Xingwan was shocked and couldn't help but ask Li Hao, her eyes showing a kind of expectation.

But soon, Li Hao's answer turned the expectation in her eyes into a hint of disappointment.

"It's on my way."

"On the way..."

Gu Xingwan murmured to herself, realizing she was overthinking things. Moreover, within this True Immortal Secret Realm, tracking others was extremely difficult unless one encountered them by chance.

"You've already Dao Fire going, haven't you?"

She asked.

Li Hao nodded and asked, "What about you? Do you have any?"

"Not yet."

Gu Xingwan shook her head.

Li Hao looked into the Void. At this moment, the corpse of that ferocious Ancient Demon was collected into the Spatial Rift, and a blue Dao Fire was floating in the spot.

He raised his hand and retrieved the Dao Fire, then pushed it to Gu Xingwan, saying, "This Dao Fire is for you."

"Is this the Dao Fire?"

Gu Xingwan came to her senses, staring blankly at the Dao Fire hovering before her eyes. "Give it to me?"

"Um."

Li Hao nodded, then asked, "So, are you looking for Fang Xiu, or...?"

May I travel with you?

Gu Xingwan suddenly realized what was happening and quickly said something, her face showing a mixture of caution and anticipation.

"I'm moving a bit fast, you might have a little trouble keeping up."

Li Hao said.

I will do my best to keep up.

Gu Xingwan quickly assured her.

Li Hao was somewhat speechless, but considering that Old Gu was probably also watching the election for the Southern Region Assembly Battle, he could only say, "Alright, leaving you here alone is indeed a bit dangerous."

If it were when they first met, Gu Xingwan would have been furious to Seeing Self looked down upon, but now, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Let's go.

Li Hao greeted him.

"Um."

Gu Xingwan nodded obediently, while tidying her messy hair and long dress.

"That Ancient Demon just now seemed rather unusual."

As Li Hao sped forward, he told her about the Ancient Demon he had just encountered, how it had actually been able to threaten him.

"That's the Ancient Demon Royal Clan, seemingly one of the seven Ancient Demon Clan, the Death Name Clan!"

Gu Xingwan thought of her grandfather's words and said thoughtfully.

"Death Name Clan?"

Li Hao was somewhat surprised; what a strange name.

"That's right. I've heard that this Death Name Clan Ancient Demon race's Royal Secret Art allows them to kill an enemy once they know their name and carve it in the Void!"

Gu Xingwan nodded, her expression somewhat solemn, and said, "This is the Emperor Dao Principle that the supreme being of the Death Name Clan possesses."

"Um?"

Li Hao's expression was strange as he asked, "Isn't this ability somewhat similar to Curse? Wouldn't the supreme being of the Death Name Clan, knowing the names of other Immortal Emperor, also pose a threat?"

Gu Xingwan shook her head and said, "The Death Name Clan is very mysterious. Among the Seven Ancient Demon Races, they are one of the smallest in number. As for the specific conditions, I guess only Grandpa knows."

Li Hao nodded slightly and turned to ask Old Gu, "These Seven Ancient Demon Races all seem to have their own unique abilities."

He suddenly thought of that Ancient Demon Woman; she was also from the Ancient Demon Royal Clan, and he wondered what her strongest innate ability was.

Where do we go now?

Gu Xingwan secretly glanced at Li Hao's profile.

"Look around, look for the Ancient Demon, look for the other people," Li Hao said.

Gu Xingwan gave an "oh" and then fell silent, following behind Li Hao.

Li Hao used the Return to Emptiness Teleportation to flash continuously, making his travel speed extremely fast. In addition, the Immortal Power from the All Heavens Star Meridian was inexhaustible.

Before long, Gu Xingwan found it difficult to keep up with Li Hao, and she couldn't even think or chat with him anymore.

"If you keep wasting your energy like this, will you even have the strength to fight the Ancient Demon later?"

Gu Xingwan said breathlessly, her face flushed with exhaustion and her Qi and Blood rushing to her head.

"The All Heavens Star Meridian, didn't your grandfather tell you about them?"

Li Hao said.

In this Southern Region Assembly Battle, he revealed the power of the All Heavens Star Meridian. Even if others don't recognize it, many knowledgeable people will surely recognize it. There's no point in hiding such a trump card.

Gu Xingwan was taken aback. Noticing the faint Starlight in the Void outside Li Hao's body, she immediately understood that Li Hao's earlier statement about not being able to keep up was not an intentional attempt to leave her behind, but a fact.

Her eyes held a complex expression as she whispered, "If I can't keep up, just go on your own. Don't let me affect you."

Li Hao teleported four or five more times before slowing down slightly, giving Gu Xingwan a chance to catch her breath.

Since he had already brought them along, there was no reason for him to abandon them halfway through the journey.

At this moment, the opponent's Immortal Power is greatly depleted; if they were to be abandoned, it would likely lead to even greater accidents.

"It's okay, going a little slower won't make a difference."

As Li Hao spoke, he extended his Divine Sense to explore the surroundings.

Before long, they encountered the Ancient Demon again, eight of them flying in a group towards them.

Upon meeting, the two sides exchanged no words, immediately engaging in shouts and battle.

However, Li Hao's movements were extremely swift and decisive. He unleashed the Sword God Art, and the golden Sword Light was dazzling, illuminating the sky and killing the eight Ancient Demon one by one.

Seeing Li Hao slay the Ancient Demon as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, Gu Xingwan's lips twitched slightly. Only after witnessing Li Hao's attack up close did she realize how terrifying this young man was.

"In this Southern Region Assembly Battle, you'll probably only make it into the top three."

Gu Xingwan spoke deeply to Li Hao.

"."

Li Hao couldn't help but turn around and glance at her. Little girl, don't try to heal me.

Eight Ancient Demon perished, and Li Hao collected all their corpses, also obtaining a Dao Fire in the process.

Li Hao accepted it and then continued on his way.

Outside the secret Beyond the Border, the Dharma Form of Seven Dynasties Emperors sat cross-legged in the Void, chatting idly with each other.

They only met during this grand gathering in the Southern Region; otherwise, they rarely kept in touch.

Apart from the catastrophe Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe ago, the seven dynasties united to form an army to resist the Ancient Demon. Later, due to various internal reasons, they were separated and each guarded their own Immortal Dynasty, and there were even frictions between them.

"Your Supreme, your disciple's Sword Dao is quite terrifying! At such a young age, he has actually comprehended the Fifth Layer!"

The Imperial Emperor of the Heavenly Illumination Immortal Dynasty, Heavenly Illumination Emperor, chuckled lightly at the Heavenly Palace Supreme.

At this moment, in the reflected Secret Realm, a young man dressed in white, alone with a sword in hand, walked across the corpses of dozens of Ancient Demons and headed into the distance.

Those dozens of Ancient Demons were all killed with just one sword strike, leaving countless people speechless with shock.

"He just has some Heavenly Talent."

The Heavenly Palace Supreme said with a gentle expression.

"I wonder if this child can inherit the Sword Emperor's throne. Since the Sword Emperor's fall, no one has been able to wield his Spring Severing Emperor Sword. It's a pity."

The Emperor Chu said calmly.

"The Spring Severing Emperor Sword is just one of the Sword Emperor's weapons. His Sword Case was lost long ago, and it is said that there were Nine Emperor Swords inside, each of which was renowned and could pierce the sky and suppress the True Realm for ten thousand years. Now the Sword Case has long since disappeared."

The Empress of the Origin Reverence Immortal Dynasty spoke calmly. Her figure was exceptional, and her imperial robes Sculpting ancient ferocious beasts, making her look extremely noble and domineering.

"Emperor Chu, your little fellow from the Immortal Dynasty is quite good too; his Sword Dao has its own unique flavor."

Emperor Jiang of the Jiang Rong Immortal Dynasty laughed.

Just now, in the True Immortal Secret Realm, Li Hao killed the Ancient Demon Royal Clan with a single sword strike, cleaving through the Innate Secret Art of that Death Name Clan, demonstrating the terrifying power of that sword strike.

The Emperor Chu also noticed this, but did not mention it, mainly because he did not want Li Hao to show his talent too early in this first hurdle and attract too much attention.

Although Li Hao is now the center of attention, his exaggerated Soul Lifespan alone has drawn the attention of countless people, Soul Lifespan only indicates his Heavenly Talent intelligence, not his actual combat strength.

"He's passable, but he can't compare to the Supreme One's disciple."

The Emperor Chu said calmly.

"Your Supreme, your disciple seems to possess the Innate Sword Immortal Body, doesn't he?"

The Empress of the Origin Reverence Immortal Dynasty asked.

The Heavenly Palace Supreme nodded and said, "That's right, but that's his Bloodline from his previous two lives."

Upon hearing this, the other Imperial Emperor exchanged glances but remained silent.

Given the perspective of the Heavenly Palace Supreme, accepting him as Personal Disciple must involve something extremely exaggerated.

Having accumulated the Bloodline of Innate Sword Immortal Body in his previous two lives, judging from the young man's actions, he most likely still possesses Emperor Blood. It's unclear which life it was, but he must have inherited a portion of the Emperor Intent.

Each lifetime is a top-tier accumulation, and when combined, in this lifetime, as the Personal Disciple of the Heavenly Palace Supreme, all these accumulated skills will surely make him an unparalleled Prodigy beyond imagination!

Only such beings have a slight chance of being nurtured into a new Immortal Emperor by the Heavenly Palace Supreme.

"This first round of selection, with its three thousand Dao Fire, eliminates more than two-thirds of the participants, which is quite brutal."

Another Imperial Emperor said, "It is the Emperor Jin of the Jin Yun Immortal Dynasty."

The others remained noncommittal, after all, the Prodigy who could come here were selected one in a billion from each Immortal Dynasty, but upon arriving here, more than half of them were cut down.

"In the end, I'm afraid fewer than three thousand people will pass."

The Original Venerable Empress calmly said, "Judging from that little fellow's intentions, he plans to eliminate even more people in this stage."

In the True Immortal Secret Realm, God Clan Youth, Shen Wuji, radiating golden light, was chasing after Ancient Demon and collecting Dao Fire.

He already possessed more than ten Dao Fire.

"Hmm? It seems like there are Ancient Demon gathering in groups over there, about to do something big!"

"The little guy over there is in danger."

Suddenly, in a certain Mountain Range within the True Immortal Secret Realm, a large group of Ancient Demon gathered and revealed themselves.

Judging by the number, there were hundreds.

At this size, it was already a small Ancient Demon army.

Moreover, they were all at the True Immortal Realm Perfection, including many members of royalty and Ancient Demon Elite.

Such a display caused even the Imperial Emperor of the Seven Immortal Dynasties to frown.

Soon, the Ancient Demon formation gathered here also attracted the attention of others, who all exclaimed in surprise.

"Those Ancient Demon have all gathered together!"

Do they want to form an army?

"Who can stop this?"

"The people over there don't know yet. Oh no, someone's getting Past."

Emperor Chu and the others looked at the Heavenly Palace Supreme, their eyes filled with inquiry.

This situation is clearly getting out of control.
