Before the main fissure of the Demon Extermination Holy City.
The True God Realm Demon God's figure stood like a towering mountain.
His twenty-meter-tall demonic body was covered in Dark Golden Scales, with dark red Demon Blood seeping from the gaps between the scales. Every drop that fell to the ground corroded a fist-sized pit.
Torrential black Demonic Energy surged from his body, transforming into a sky-obscuring Demon Cloud!
Countless mournful soul howls echoed faintly within the Demon Cloud, and even the sunlight above the Holy City was completely devoured, leaving only suffocating darkness and pressure between heaven and earth.
"Th-this is the aura of the True God Realm!"
A Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator's face turned deathly pale.
The moment he tried to circulate his Spiritual Energy to retreat, a wisp of the Demon God's aura locked onto him.
His entire body instantly stiffened like stone, unable to move even a fingertip, as cold sweat slid down his cheeks and froze at his chin!
The other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators around him were the same.
Under the terrifying pressure of the Divine Realm, some even collapsed directly to the ground, their Dao hearts already shattered!
Even Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivators could barely manage to remain standing, their hands clenched tightly, knuckles white, eyes filled with terror.
The True God Realm and the Tribulation Crossing Realm were as different as clouds and mud.
The former grasped the power of Divine Rules, while the latter was merely the peak of the mortal world—utterly unable to contend.
"True God Realm, first level."
Bai Ye stood at the back of the crowd, his eyes narrowed slightly.
His Primordial Spirit was as clear as glass, easily piercing through the Demon Cloud and seeing through the Demon God's cultivation level.
Although this Demon God had already reached the True God Realm, he had just broken through not long ago. His Divine Body was not yet fully stabilized, and his power over Divine Rules was only a beginner's glimpse.
To Bai Ye, it was nothing troublesome.
"Activate the Ancestral Weapon! Hurry and activate the Ancestral Weapon!"
Xuan Ji Zi, the Supreme Elder of the Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect, roared hoarsely.
At this moment, he placed all his hope in the sect's trump card—the True God-grade Ancestral Weapon!
Only by unleashing the Ancestral Weapon could they possibly withstand this Demon God!
No sooner had he spoken than the other three Tribulation Crossing Realm elders reacted simultaneously. The four of them took out a palm-sized Golden Token from their storage rings in perfect sync.
The token was engraved with the totem of the Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect and emitted a faint sacred aura—it was the key to activating the Ancestral Weapon.
The four of them simultaneously poured their full Spiritual Energy into the token, and it instantly burst into dazzling golden light, shooting up into the sky and flying straight toward a Forbidden Zone within the Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect.
Hum—!
The next instant.
Heaven and earth trembled violently, and an ancient, heavy hum came from deep underground.
Immediately after, a Golden Light Pillar ten zhang in diameter erupted from the distance.
Within the pillar of light, a massive golden sword slowly condensed.
The giant sword was over a hundred zhang long, its blade carved with intricate Divine Patterns, and its edge gleamed with piercing cold light!
A True God-grade pressure spread from the sword, able to contend with the Demon God's own pressure, forcibly driving back the surrounding Demon Cloud for several li!
"It's the Wasteland Heaven Sacred Sword, the Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect's founding Ancestral Weapon!"
A cultivator recognized the sword, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes. "Legend says it's a divine artifact left by a True God, capable of slaying all Demonic Beasts!"
Taking advantage of the moment the Demonic Energy was suppressed, the surviving cultivators felt as if pardoned. They hurriedly activated their escape techniques, retreating far from the battlefield to watch from dozens of li away.
They knew that the coming battle was already beyond their level of involvement.
The Demon God stared at the condensed Wasteland Heaven Sacred Sword, a flicker of surprise passing through his crimson demonic crystal eyes, quickly replaced by disdain. "A masterless weapon dares to act presumptuously before this god?"
He raised a hand and waved, and a black demonic blade dozens of zhang long condensed from the Demon Cloud. The blade carried the might to tear apart Divine Rules as it slashed toward the Wasteland Heaven Sacred Sword!
The Wasteland Heaven Sacred Sword seemed to possess a spirit. Its body let out a clear, resonant sword cry, transforming into a streak of Golden Light as it met the demonic blade.
Boom—!
The moment the golden and black lights collided, a terrifying wave of energy swept in all directions!
The city walls of the Holy City were instantly riddled with dense cracks, and the ground within a thousand li radius collapsed into a pit several li deep!
The cultivators on the distant hillside were flung back by the shockwave, spitting blood.
High in the sky.
The golden light of the Wasteland Heaven Sacred Sword and the black Demonic Energy of the demonic blade locked into a stalemate. The Divine Patterns on the sword and the Demonic Marks on the blade clashed continuously, producing earth-shattering roars!
Bai Ye watched quietly from a distance, carefully observing the scene.
"This sword's material contains divine crystals, and its Divine Patterns are imprinted with a vast amount of True God power. It's at least a True God third-level divine artifact."
"But without a True God Realm cultivator to wield it, it can only rely on its artifact spirit to fight on its own, at most unleashing the combat power of a True God first level."
Sure enough, before long, the light of the Wasteland Heaven Sacred Sword began to dim.
The Divine Power within the artifact was limited, unable to sustain True God-grade combat strength for long.
Seizing the opportunity, the Demon God muttered incantations as countless Black Chains surged from the Demon Cloud, coiling toward the Wasteland Heaven Sacred Sword like venomous serpents, attempting to bind it.
"No! The Ancestral Weapon is about to be sealed!"
Xuan Ji Zi's face shifted drastically. He wanted to rush forward to help, but the Demon God's oppressive aura pinned him down, preventing even a single step.
The Tribulation Crossing Realm and the True God Realm—one realm apart, yet worlds of difference!
The other Tribulation Crossing elders were also filled with despair. If the Ancestral Weapon were seized, the entire Wild Domain would likely become the Devil Race's hunting ground!
Just as the crisis reached its peak, a crisp, clear sword cry suddenly rang through heaven and earth!
Bai Ye finally moved.
His form remained still, but he raised his hand to grip the Dragon Slaying Sacred Sword behind his back, lightly flicking the blade with his fingertip.
A Chaos-colored Sword Light erupted in an instant!
The sword light, like a meteor tearing through darkness, pierced through dozens of miles of Demon Cloud without any obstruction, arriving before the Demon God.
The Demon God didn't even have time to react; the smugness of sealing the Ancestral Weapon still lingered in his eyes as his demonic body was cleaved in two by the sword light!
Black Demon Blood gushed out, hissing and corroding the ground where it fell.
The bisected demonic body did not dissipate but began to writhe rapidly, trying to reform.
A True God Realm Demon God possessed terrifying vitality; unless its Divine Core was utterly annihilated, killing it was nearly impossible.
Bai Ye's gaze was indifferent as he swung his sword again.
Another Chaos-colored Sword Light struck out, precisely hitting the crimson-glowing Divine Core within the remnants of the demonic body!
Crack!
The Divine Core shattered on impact, the demonic body's writhing ceased instantly, and it dissolved into a cloud of black ash, vanishing completely into the air!
The True God Realm Demon God, which had driven all cultivators to despair, was slain in two strikes!
The entire scene fell into dead silence.
Whether it was the cultivators watching from afar or the Tribulation Crossing elders of the Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect, all stared wide-eyed at that gray-robed figure, as if they had seen a ghost.
"The Demon God... has fallen!?" Xuan Ji Zi rubbed his eyes, doubting whether he was hallucinating!
