Creation Shatters Demons, the Immortal Emperor Stained in Blood

The eleven Demon Venerable ' devastating attack, like a cataclysmic tidal wave that had lain dormant in the core of Primordial Chaos since the World Creation, swept forth from the bottomless Rift of the Dark Abyss. Wherever it passed, the void cracked with spiderweb-like black fissures, and deep within these fissures surged Primordial Chaos energy that devoured everything. Even time seemed to freeze under this extreme Power of Destruction —in the eyes of the Immortals and Gods, the Demon Venerable ' figures were clearly thousands of miles away, yet they seemed so close, each strike carrying a pressure that transcended time and space. Ancient Demons corpses revived from the Nine Netherworlds Underworld Spring of the Chaos Demon Soil, their three-zhang-tall skeletons entwined with millennia-old... The unyielding Mystic Ice Demonic Flame, its flames a strange, inky blue, could freeze even Immortal Essence into Ice Crystals wherever it burned. The Bone Saber in its hand, forged from its own spine, gleamed with a deathly gray-white light, its blade inscribed with High Antiquity Curse Runes. With a single slash, it tore apart the myriad rays of light that had permeated the Immortal Realm of the Heavens for millennia. Where the light shattered, it turned into extinguished specks of dust, the fall of which even caused the surging Spirit Vein deep within the Immortal Domain to tremble. The immortal liquid within these Spirit Vein surged and boiled, overflowing the surface and transforming into plumes of spiritual mist that vanished the moment the demonic energy touched them.

The Annihilation Demonic Bird spread its wings, obscuring the sky. Each feather was forged from deep-sea black jade, its edges swirling with dark patterns that Devouring Light Rays. When the feathers flapped, they emitted sharp ultrasonic waves, causing low-level immortals to bleed from their seven orifices. With each flap of its wings, a gale swept up fragments of billions of Demon Star —the remnants of stars corrupted by the Dark Origin, carrying extreme cold and death, forcefully severing the Star River that stretched across the heavens. The once brilliant Star River instantly lost its luster, and stars transformed into cold meteorites, trailing long black flames, crashing towards the Immortal Realm immortal realm, striking the peaks of immortal mountains, stirring up clouds of dust. Within the dust, countless Immortal Palaces and Pavilions collapsed with a deafening roar, the once magnificent halls reduced to ruins. The surviving immortals fled in disarray, their faces filled with terror.

When coiled, the Scorpion Demon Venerable's body resembled a black mountain; when unfurled, it stretched for tens of thousands of Glazed Ice, gleamed with a chilling, eerie green light that seemed to extinguish all life. The venom dripping from its tip was a viscous black, corroding the void into sizzling black Black Hole even before touching the ground. Wherever the venom passed, even the most resilient buds of the Undying Pine pine withered instantly, turning to ash. The ground was corroded into Bottomless Ravines, flowing with black Poisonous Slurry that emitted a nauseating stench. The Death Chains were woven from the bones of countless vengeful spirits, covered with barbs, each barb embedded with the head of a vengeful spirit, their empty eyes blazing with mournful screams. The howling sound could pierce even the Immortal Soul of Immortals and Gods, causing them sharp pains. Chains spread out like a spiderweb, covering the entire void. Where the chains intertwined, the Law of Space were forcibly imprisoned, rendering the Immortals and Gods ' Teleport techniques temporarily useless. They could only watch helplessly as the chains coiled around them—this was the ultimate destructive outpouring of the Dark Origin. Every wisp of demonic energy was enough to cause immortal mountains to collapse and immortal rivers to flow backward. Every attack carried the madness of the Twelve Demon Venerables ' willingness to perish together. They were originally destructive vessels refined from the souls of billions of living beings by the Dark Abyss. Their sole purpose was to turn the immortal Immortal Realm into barren wasteland, utterly annihilating light into darkness.

Ren Xiaoyao stood in the center of a vast expanse of purple qi. This purple qi was the Heaven and Earth Origin Power that he had condensed when he attained the Dao of Immortal Emperor. Now, due to its extreme operation, it shimmered with Glazed Ice luster. Countless tiny Tai Chi Symbol Tai Chi Symbol within purple qi purple Immortal Essence, each rotating on its own, evolving the Dao of Life and Death. The white robe he wore was no longer as pristine as it had been. It had been stained a frosty white like Moonlight Essence by the demonic blood that had splashed when he annihilated the Blood River Demon Venerable Lord and the immortal essence that had overflowed from his own body. As his robes fluttered, the bloody stench that had dissipated after the Blood River Demon Venerable's death still lingered. That bloody stench, carrying the corrosive power of the Dark Origin, was trying to seep into his body through his pores, but it was being dissolved one by one by the purple qi on his body. When he had forcibly erased the Blood River Demon Venerable Demonic Soul of the Blood River Demon Lord with the Annihilation True Intent, the Power of Destruction that contradicted his own Dao of Creation had not yet been fully subdued. Now, it was clashing with the Power of Creation within his body, causing his meridians to tingle slightly, and the Immortal Essence in his dantian to ripple subtly.

Faced with eleven Destruction Laws simultaneously attacking him, a trace of solemnity finally flashed across his deep eyes. Those eyes, which had once seen through the essence of the Three Thousand Great Daos and witnessed the Cosmic Life and Death, now reflected the Heavenly Demon and the shattered Star River. Deep within his pupils, purple qi and black qi intertwined and collided, as if a miniature world was undergoing Cycle of Life and Death. He knew in his heart that although the Path of Creation Balance could resolve the extreme forces in the world, it required him to act as a bridge to bear the immense backlash of birth and death. The Principle of the Twelve Demon Venerables were inherently dark products that defied the heavens, each bearing the destructive mark of the Beginning of Chaos, like a maggot clinging to a bone, difficult to completely remove once tainted. Forcibly purifying and fusing them would be tantamount to using Immortal Body to contain twelve volcanoes about to erupt. The slightest carelessness would result in being devoured by the Dark Origin, his Dao Foundation collapsing, his soul scattered, and even the chance to reincarnate and cultivate again would be gone.

"Heaven and Earth as a Furnace, Principle are the fuel; birth and death, cycles and transformations, all return to balance!"

Ren Xiaoyao let out a clear whistle, its sound shaking the universe. The celestial music pierced through the Heavenly Demon, resounding like morning bells and evening drums across every inch of the Immortal Realm realm. Even atop Kunlun Immortal Mountain, millions of miles away, the young Immortal Child cultivating were startled by this whistle, halting their practice and gazing up at the sea of clouds, their eyes filled with awe and longing. As the whistle subsided, the Lightning Fire Creation? World-Breaking Spear in his palm suddenly surged ten thousand feet in size. The ancient runes engraved on the spear instantly shone as brightly as the sun, and golden Thunder Snake... The spear tip snaked downwards, each lightning pattern containing the power of Nine Heavens Divine Lightning heavens to purify all things. Wherever it passed, demonic energy melted away like snow meeting the blazing sun. Verdant Life Origin, like vines, coiled around the spear, originating from the Primordial Chaos Initial Opening, carrying a vigorous power of revival. These two extreme forces intertwined and formed a rotating Tai Chi halo around him. Outside the halo, demonic energy could not get close even a fraction; inside, life flourished, and even his tattered white robe was slowly being repaired.

Facing the Bone Saber cleaving towards him from the Ancient Demons corpse, Ren Xiaoyao flicked his wrist, his white robes fluttering in the wind. With a light touch of his spear tip, a crisp "ding" resounded, like the clash of Kunlun jade, its clear sound echoing through the clouds. This seemingly effortless strike actually contained a complex and intricate method of deflecting force. He used the Dao of Creation to guide the Power of Destruction on the Bone Saber, following the rotational trajectory of the Tai Chi symbol, like guiding a river to change course, forcefully reversing the power capable of cleaving immortal mountains, directing it back towards the demonic corpse itself. The Ancient Demons corpse let out a defiant roar, its withered bones ablaze with mysterious Mystic Ice Demonic Flame, attempting to resist the backlash, but to no avail. The High Antiquity skeleton instantly cracked, spiderweb-like fissures spreading from them, black demonic blood seeping out. This corrosive blood dripped into the void, corroding tiny Black Hole Black Hole vanished in an instant, leaving faint dark imprints in the air.

At the same time, Ren Xiaoyao's figure transformed into a streak of light, weaving through the Death Chains and the rain of ice spikes. He pushed the Law of Space to their limit, leaving behind a faint purple qi afterimage with each Teleport before dissipating, forming a light curtain that intertwined reality and illusion, causing the Demon Venerable ' attacks to repeatedly miss. The Cold Prison Demon Venerable chanted incantations, reciting dark spells, and countless ice spikes condensed from the void. The ice spikes were covered with unmelting black ice that had lasted for billions of years, shimmering with a chilling luster. Small vengeful spirits were sealed inside the ice spikes. Once they shattered, the vengeful spirits would pounce on their target and tear at the soul. The ice spikes rained down on Ren Xiaoyao, but were all blocked by the purple qi afterimages behind him. The ice spikes collided with the afterimages and instantly shattered into Ice Crystals fragments. The sealed vengeful spirits, as soon as they peeked out, were purified by the lightning and fire in the halo and turned into wisps of green smoke.

Facing the Annihilation Demonic Bird transformed from the Heaven Burning Demon Venerable's burning Demonic Soul, Ren Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with cold light, and he held back. The Heaven Burning Demon Venerable, seeking a fatal blow, had burned ninety percent of his demonic Demonic Soul, causing the Demonic Bird's body to swell to ten thousand feet in size. Surrounding it was the Annihilation Demonic Fire, powerful enough to incinerate immortal Immortal Essence. This flame was no ordinary demonic flame, but a dark flame capable of Devouring Laws; wherever it passed, even light was burned away, leaving behind a pitch-black Void. Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath, rapidly fusing the Power of Creation within his body with the Annihilation True Intent. Thirty percent of the Annihilation True Intent condensed at the tip of his spear, transforming into a golden beam that pierced the heavens and earth. Within the golden beam, lightning and Lightning and Fire Intertwined, concealing hidden life force, as it pierced straight towards the Demonic Bird's head. The Demonic Bird let out a shrill cry, its voice filled with fear and resentment. The Annihilation Demonic Fire burned wildly, attempting to devour the golden light, but it receded like a tide before it. The Power of Life and Death contained within the golden light was the nemesis of the dark fire, capable of instantly transforming Power of Darkness into Void. The Demonic Bird's body disintegrated inch by inch under the tearing Power of Life and Death, its feathers flying and turning into specks of black Mars. The Heaven Burning Demon Venerable's demonic Demonic Soul, just as it was about to break free, was enveloped by the golden light. Purified by the dual power of thunder, fire, and life force, it let out a painful howl, ultimately transforming into a wisp of pure Law of Fire, drifting towards Ren Xiaoyao, where it was drawn into his body by the purple qi in his palm.

"Soul Devourer!"

The Soul Devouring Demon Venerable's roar was deafening, the sound waves transforming into tangible black ripples that spread towards Ren Xiaoyao. Wherever the ripples passed, the void trembled slightly. His body transformed into a cloud of pitch-black mist, from which thousands of tentacles extended. Each tentacle was as agile as a venomous snake, its sharp teeth gleaming with a ghostly green venomous light, containing a dark toxin capable of corroding the soul. At the same time, a tremendous Devouring Power emanated from the mist, like an invisible Black Hole, pulling at Ren Xiaoyao's soul, attempting to tear his Immortal Soul from his Immortal Body. Ren Xiaoyao frowned slightly, feeling a sharp pain in his soul. The circulation of his Immortal Essence became sluggish, and countless negative emotions—despair, pain, hatred—surfaced in his mind. These were the mental attacks transmitted by the Soul Devouring Demon Venerable through the Devouring Power.

With his left hand, he formed the Creation Seal Art, warm golden light flowing from his fingertips. A continuous stream of life force surged from his palm, transforming into countless tiny threads of light that fell like spring rain, entangling each attacking tentacle. Wherever the threads passed, the eerie green poisonous light vanished instantly, the sharp teeth crumbled inch by inch under the nourishment and purification of the life force, and the tentacles withered and turned black at a visible speed, ultimately turning to ashes. The Soul Devouring Demon Venerable let out a painful roar, his massive misty body shrinking and annihilating amidst the interplay of life and Annihilation. From within the mist came the wails of countless vengeful Immortals and Gods —the souls of immortals and gods he had devoured—now released by the Purifying Power, transforming into specks of white light that dissipated into the world. Finally, the Soul Devouring Demon Venerable's body completely vanished, leaving only a wisp of pure Devouring Laws floating in the void, which Ren Xiaoyao then absorbed into his body with a wave of his hand.

The battle has reached a fever pitch.

Ren Xiaoyao, like an invincible god, maneuvered amidst the siege of the eleven Demon Venerable. His Lightning Fire Creation? World-Breaking Spear, with each swing, stirred up a sky full of purple purple qi, accompanied by thunderous roars that shook the heavens. The Plague Source Demon Venerable transformed into a gigantic scorpion, its body covered in a hard black carapace studded with poisonous stingers. Its tail stinger constantly thrust out, spreading poisonous mist that polluted the spiritual mist of the Immortal Domain, turning it into deadly poison. Inhaling even a single breath would disrupt Immortal Essence and clog one's meridians. Seeing this, Ren Xiaoyao flicked his spear tip, unleashing a surge of emerald life force that transformed into a gentle rain. As the rain fell, the poisonous mist instantly dissipated, turning into harmless vapor. The scorpion's body, enveloped by the rain, gradually melted under the purification of the life force, revealing its dark flesh. The flesh, further dissolved by the rain, eventually transformed into a wisp of Law of Plague, which he absorbed into his body.

The Purple Lightning Demon Venerable summoned the Nine Heavens Demonic Lightning. Clad in black thunder armor and wielding a thunder whip, he chanted incantations. Dark clouds gathered above his head, and a ten-thousand-foot-long bolt of demonic lightning cleaved down from the clouds. The lightning pillar was entwined with pitch-black Demonic Runes, carrying an aura of annihilation. Wherever it passed, long cracks were cleaved in the void. This demonic lightning was no ordinary lightning; it was destructive lightning containing the Dark Origin, capable of directly destroying the Dao Foundation of Immortals and Gods. However, this demonic lightning was directly devoured by the thunder Thunder Snake on Ren Xiaoyao's spear. The Thunder Snake was formed from the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning and was naturally able to restrain all Dark Thunder. After devouring the demonic lightning, the Thunder Snake's body swelled to ten thousand feet in size, letting out a deafening roar, and then pounced on the Purple Lightning Demon Venerable. Caught off guard, the Purple Lightning Demon Venerable Lord was entangled by the Thunder Snake, and his Demon Body shattered into dust in the collision of divine and demonic lightning, leaving only a Law of Lightning, which slowly drifted towards Ren Xiaoyao.

The Earth Splitting Demon Venerable infiltrated the Immortal Realm's depths. He could merge with the earth, manipulating the Earth Vein Power. He traversed underground, causing violent earthquakes that split the Immortal Realm Realm's surface into bottomless chasms, plunging countless immortal mountains into them to be swallowed by the magma. Then, manipulating the Earth Vein Power, he unleashed towering waves of earth, filled with countless sharp rocks, attempting to bury Ren Xiaoyao. Ren Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed, and he pierced the earth wave with his spear, the tip striking the earth's core. The golden spear light pierced through the soil, precisely hitting the Earth Splitting Demon Venerable's true form. The Earth Splitting Demon Venerable let out a scream, jolted out of the earth's veins. The instant his body was separated from the earth, he was annihilated by the Power of Life and Death surrounding Ren Xiaoyao, transforming into a Law of Earth, which was absorbed into his body.

The Eerie Wind Demon Venerable unleashed countless whirlwinds, his body transforming into a black pillar of wind. Within these whirlwinds were sharp wind blades capable of slicing through space, imbued with Power of Darkness. Those struck by these blades would be Dark Corruption, their Immortal Body gradually turning to petrification. These whirlwinds formed a massive wind curtain, enveloping Ren Xiaoyao and attempting to shred him. However, the Tai Chi halo surrounding Ren Xiaoyao suddenly accelerated its rotation, the suction force of the halo drawing in all the whirlwinds. The whirlwinds spun continuously within the halo, their energy gradually depleted until they finally dissipated without a trace. The Eerie Wind Demon Venerable Lord's Demon Body, too, was reduced to ashes by the backlash of the Power of Life and Death, leaving behind only a Law of Wind.

The Illusion Dream Demon Venerable unleashed his most powerful illusion, his figure becoming ethereal and indistinct as he infiltrated Ren Xiaoyao's consciousness, attempting to bewitch his soul. Within the illusion, Ren Xiaoyao saw everything he cherished most—his former comrades-in-arms, his nurturing master, and his beloved confidante—all falling beneath the Demon Venerable's blade. The Immortal Domain crumbled, and countless lives were lost, yet he was powerless to stop it. The illusion was both alluring and torturous, trying to seduce him into surrendering and immersing him in endless regret and pain. But Ren Xiaoyao's Dao Heart remained steadfast as a rock. He knew it was an illusion, and from between his brows, the Light of Creation surged forth like a blazing sun, instantly illuminating the illusion. The illusion shattered like a bubble under the light, and the Demon Lord of Illusion Dream Demon Venerable Demonic Soul disintegrated, transforming into a wisp of Law of Illusion, which Ren Xiaoyao absorbed into his body.

The Asura Demon Venerable, wielding a blood-stained longsword stained with the blood of countless lives and imbued with boundless killing intent, was the most warlike of the Twelve Demon Venerables. His body was covered in battle scars, Dao Wound exuding a bloody stench. He roared as he charged towards Ren Xiaoyao, his blade flashing like lightning, carrying the power to Sky-Rending Strike. Each strike contained the ultimate killing Principle, attempting to kill Ren Xiaoyao. Ren Xiaoyao neither dodged nor evaded, but flicked his spear tip, colliding with the blood-stained longsword. With a deafening clang, sparks flew. The Asura Demon Venerable felt an immense force surge through him, his longsword shattering into several pieces. His burning Essence Blood backfired, corroding his body, which gradually disintegrated amidst screams, ultimately transforming into a wisp of Law of Killing.

The Demon Venerable Taotie opened its blood-red maw, transforming into a gigantic Black Hole. Within this Black Hole, countless stars were devoured, emanating a powerful suction force that attempted to pull Ren Xiaoyao and the entire Immortal Realm into it, turning them into its nourishment. Ren Xiaoyao activated the Aura of Life and Death, reversing its rotation direction and generating a repulsive force opposite to the Black Hole's suction, thus repelling the Black Hole's power back. The Demon Venerable Taotie had no time to react and was swallowed by its own Devouring Power. Its body was continuously compressed within the Black Hole, eventually turning into a tiny dot and annihilating into the void, leaving only a wisp of the Devouring Laws.

The Nether River Demon Venerable manipulated the Death Chains, which danced like a long dragon. The vengeful spirits atop the chains emitted mournful screams, and beams of death light shot forth from them, causing all life to wither rapidly in their wake. The Death Chains coiled towards Ren Xiaoyao, attempting to bind him and then annihilate him with the death light. Ren Xiaoyao's life force surged, transforming into countless blades of light that severed the Death Chains inch by inch. The broken chains transformed into the wails of vengeful spirits and dissipated into the world. The death light was neutralized by the Taiji halo, and the Nether River Demon Venerable's Demon Body, caught between the Power of Life and Death, turned to ashes, leaving behind a Law of Death.

In the short span of an incense stick's time, Immortal Realm of the Heavens, eleven earth-shattering Demon Body perished. The twelve Destruction Laws were forcibly purified and fused by Ren Xiaoyao, transforming into twelve strands of Power of Principle that revolved around him like twelve stars, intertwining with his Path of Creation Balance. purple qi and the light of the twelve Principle intertwined, forming a magnificent light curtain that enveloped the entire sea of clouds. Wherever the light curtain passed, the remaining demonic energy was completely purified, the damaged void was gradually repaired, and the debris of fallen stars was enveloped by the light curtain, slowly sinking into the depths of the Immortal Realm, transforming into nourishment for the Spirit Vein.

The Immortals and Gods were already dumbfounded, their eyes filled with fervent reverence. Those immortals who had been preparing to flee now knelt on the ground, shouting "Long live the Immortal Emperor!" Their voices resounded through the Immortal Realm, causing the auspicious clouds of the immortal realm to churn. The Immortal Bird on the clouds were startled and took flight, emitting clear cries as if echoing this earth-shattering victory. The immortal kings stood on the clouds, their faces filled with relief and awe. Some of them had fought alongside Ren Xiaoyao, while others had watched him grow from an unknown immortal to an Immortal Emperor. At this moment, their hearts were filled with countless emotions. They knew that with this new Immortal Emperor, the Immortal Realm had Guardian Power, and the threat of the Dark Abyss would finally be completely eliminated.

However, at that moment, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly groaned, and a glaring crimson stain spilled from the corner of his mouth. The blood was not ordinary Immortal Blood, but Emperor Blood containing the Power of Life and Death. As it dripped into the void, it made a sizzling sound, and the void was corroded by the Emperor Blood, leaving tiny holes from which a faint dark aura emanated.

The purple qi surrounding him suddenly became chaotic. The once warm and flowing Life-Death Runes became flickering, their light shimmering uncertainly, as if they might be extinguished at any moment. "Lightning Fire Creation? The World-Breaking Spear let out a mournful cry. The spear's light dimmed, it slowly shrank, and flew back into his palm. The runes on the spear were no longer dazzling, but were covered with a faint layer of black aura—the residual power of the Dark Origin was eroding the spear. The twelve newly fused Destruction Laws clashed violently within his body. The residual power of the Dark Origin, like maggots clinging to bones, frantically tore at his Immortal Body and soul. Forcibly activating the Path of Creation Balance to purify the twelve heaven-defying Principle single-handedly had already exceeded the limits of his newly attained Immortal Emperor status. Although his Immortal Body had reached the realm of immortality, it could not withstand the simultaneous impact of the twelve Destruction Laws. Within his meridians, Immortal Essence and demonic energy clashed, each collision causing his meridians to ache faintly, and even tiny cracks appeared on the meridian walls.

"Puff--"

Ren Xiaoyao spat out a mouthful of golden Immortal Blood. The drops fell onto the sea of clouds, hissing as they instantly vaporized into a vast blood mist. This mist contained immense Power of Life and Death, which sprinkled onto the scorched immortal Immortal Earth below. The land, barren from the battle with the Demon Venerable, instantly sprouted tender green shoots. These shoots grew rapidly, quickly transforming into a verdant Bamboo Forest. The Bamboo Forest swayed in the wind, exuding a refreshing Spiritual Charm, a stark contrast to the surrounding devastation. However... This blossoming of life, however, came at the cost of Ren Xiaoyao's Immortal Essence. His face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color, and his white robes were soaked with blood, clinging tightly to his body and outlining his tall yet slightly weak physique. His once upright body swayed slightly, like a candle flickering in the wind, and a trace of weariness flashed in his deep eyes. The connection between his soul and the world became blurred, and the oppressive aura surrounding him suddenly weakened. The power of the Immortal Emperor that once shook the universe now showed a crack.

"Immortal Emperor!"

Upon seeing this, the Immortals and Gods' expressions changed drastically, and cries of alarm rose and fell, filled with worry. The Golden Armored Immortal King was the first to react. Clad in golden armor and wielding the Immortal-Slaying Blade, he transformed into a golden light, desperately trying to rush forward to help, but was stopped by Ren Xiaoyao raising his hand. That raised hand was pale and slender, yet still carried an undeniable majesty, with purple qi swirling around his fingertips, forming an invisible barrier that shielded the Golden Armored Immortal King. The Golden Armored Immortal King's eyes were filled with anxiety, but he dared not disobey the Immortal Emperor's command, and could only linger outside the barrier, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

Ren Xiaoyao waved his hand, his breathing slightly rapid, but his voice remained steady and powerful, carrying the unique majesty of Immortal Emperor: "It's nothing, just Law Backlash, my soul has been injured."

He slowly closed his eyes, attempting to circulate the Power of Creation to calm the chaos within his body. purple qi surged between his brows, transforming into a small Tai Chi Symbol that rotated continuously, trying to suppress the remaining dark power within him. However, he discovered that the residual power of the twelve Destruction Laws was spreading like wildfire through his meridians. Each rotation caused his Immortal Bone Immortal Bone to groan under the unbearable strain, and even fine cracks appeared on them. When he had just annihilated the Twelve Demon Venerables, in order to completely purify their Demonic Soul and leave no future troubles, he had forcibly incorporated the twelve Principle into himself, intending to neutralize their dark nature with the Dao of Creation. However, he had underestimated the domineering nature of the Dark Origin. These Principle clashed within him, the Power of Darkness constantly colliding with the power of life. If he could not suppress them quickly, it might damage his Dao Foundation and even affect his position as Immortal Emperor, making further progress difficult.

Just then, a faint spatial fluctuation suddenly came from the horizon. The fluctuation was extremely subtle, like a stone sinking into the sea; it would be impossible to detect without careful observation. However, this fluctuation could not escape Ren Xiaoyao's keen perception. Even though he was severely injured and his soul was damaged, the perception of Immortal Emperor was still far beyond that of ordinary people. He suddenly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them. In that cold glint, there was both vigilance and a hint of barely perceptible solemnity—the fluctuation contained a dark aura of the same origin as the Twelve Demon Venerables, but it was even deeper and more terrifying than the Twelve Demon Venerables, like a giant beast that had slumbered for billions of years in the abyss, quietly awakening. This aura reminded him of the legendary ruler of the Dark Abyss, that Terrifying Existence that only existed in ancient Classics.

"It seems that the remnants of the Dark Abyss are not limited to these."

Ren Xiaoyao muttered to himself, his voice slightly hoarse, as he gripped the Lightning Fire Creation World-Breaking Spear tightly once more. Although the spear's light was dim and its runes were covered in dust, it still radiated an indomitable sharpness—the pride of the World-Breaking Spear, and Ren Xiaoyao's unwavering determination. He knew that he was currently severely injured, the Immortal Realm at its most vulnerable. If the Dark Abyss sent another powerful force to attack, the recently stabilized minds of the Immortals and Gods would be shaken again, and the Immortal Realm might even face annihilation. He could not fall; at least until the backlash from the Law Backlash suppressed and the Immortal Realm recovered its strength, he had to persevere.

Despite his injuries, he regrouped his purple qi, though not as vast and powerful as before, it remained pure and refined, forming a solid barrier that enveloped the entire Immortal Realm of the Heavens. Upon this barrier, lightning and fire runes intertwined with Vitality Runes, creating a comprehensive offensive and defensive enclosure, powerful enough to withstand attacks from ordinary Demon Venerable. At the same time, he addressed the Immortals and Gods below in a deep voice. "The Twelve Demon Venerables have been annihilated, and the Immortal Realm is temporarily at peace, but darkness has not been eradicated, and the crisis remains. You must quickly repair the realm, strengthen defenses, mend the Spirit Vein and immortal mountains damaged by the Demon Venerable Lords, appease the beings of the Immortal Realm, heal the wounded, and assess the losses. I must go into seclusion to Law Backlash within my body. During this time, the safety of the Immortal Realm will be entrusted to you Immortal Kings. You must act with utmost caution and diligence. In case of emergency, you may contact me through the communication Message Jade Talisman talisman of the Immortal Emperor Palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Xiaoyao said no more, transforming into a dazzling purple qi and flying towards the Immortal Emperor Palace. That purple qi was no longer as dazzling as before, but carried a hint of weariness and resolve, leaving a faint trail of blood behind him, like a red ribbon, particularly glaring in the peaceful Immortal Realm glow. That bloodstain was both a testament to his protection of the Immortal Realm and a warning that the threat of the Dark Abyss had not yet been eliminated, constantly reminding the Immortals and Gods that this war was not yet over.

As the Immortals and Gods watched his departing figure, they all knelt and bowed, their hearts filled with awe and worry. They knew the heavy price this new Immortal Emperor had paid to protect the Immortal Realm. He had single-handedly fought the Twelve Demon Venerables, purifying the Dark Law, but had also placed himself in grave danger. And this war against the Dark Abyss might only be the beginning; an even greater crisis awaited them at the edge of darkness. Above the sea of clouds, the purple qi aura barrier slowly swirled. The Immortals and Gods rose and, following Ren Xiaoyao's instructions, began to repair the wounds of the Immortal Realm. Immortal Craftsman used their Divine Ability to repair the damaged Immortal Palaces and Pavilions; Medical Immortal refined Pills to heal the wounded immortals; and immortal kings summoned their subordinates to reinforce the Immortal Realm's defenses. Beams of immortal light shot into the sky, illuminating the broken yet still resilient land of the Immortal Realm. Hope and crisis intertwined and spread at this moment, composing an epic of protection and resistance.
