The Invincible Demon Venerable

The formation of the Lihuo Supreme had finally been broken at this moment!

The wall of flame, thick with terrifying aura, vanished in an instant.

"The formation is broken!"

"Hurry, advance!"

"Go!"

In that moment, countless forces surged forward like a tidal wave.

The flying ships of the Immortal Music Pavilion and the Dragon Profound Sect transformed into streaks of light, moving with incredible speed.

And Huo Ling'er and the others, standing at the forefront of the secret realm, piloted their ship swiftly toward the fiery red coffin!

They landed quickly before the coffin.

"A Supreme's coffin... this is a great opportunity!"

Yu Qishui was excited, thoroughly excited!

"If we can obtain the hidden treasures within, my Lihuo Sect will surely flourish!"

Wei Yushan's expression was also extremely solemn!

The pale golden flames in Huo Ling'er's eyes had not yet dissipated, but at this moment, she sensed a strange feeling.

Having cultivated the Holy Fire Eyes, her perception and acuity had greatly improved, yet this coffin gave her an ominous premonition.

"Let's go, open the coffin!"

Yu Qishui said excitedly.

Huo Ling'er nodded. Since they had come, they had to step forward and take a look after all.

Moreover, with the backup measures bestowed by Senior Li, she felt fully confident.

"Stop!"

At that moment, a sharp rebuke rang out!

A streak of light rapidly approached, and in the next instant, it landed beside them.

The Dragon Profound Sect!

"You are not allowed to approach the Supreme Coffin!"

An old man from the Dragon Profound Sect spoke coldly.

This was the same person who had injured Yu Qishui back at the Lihuo Sect.

"According to unwritten rules, the force that first breaks through has the priority right to choose..."

Yu Qishui said in a deep voice. "Fellow Daoist, do you intend to break the rules?"

But before he could finish, the old man's aura erupted, his cultivation at the Void Integration Stage instantly locking onto Yu Qishui with icy killing intent:

"Rules? A mere Divine Separation cultivator like you dares to speak of rules with me?"

"Either die, or get lost!"

A direct threat!

Yu Qishui and the others' expressions changed drastically!

"Heh, a mere Moon Level Force dares to covet a Supreme Force? How ridiculous."

At this moment, people from the Immortal Music Pavilion also arrived, and Ling Xian sneered.

"Fellow Daoists from the Taiyan Holy Land?"

Long Ziyin's pretty face showed a hint of gravity. "Since you've stepped in, we'll take only one-fifth of the secret treasures here."

Facing a Holy Land Level Force, even the Dragon Profound Sect was far from enough. Getting one-fifth depended entirely on their mood!

Ling Xian glanced at Qing Luo.

Qing Luo nodded. "Agreed."

"Good, then it's settled."

Long Ziyin nodded. The moment her words fell, her figure suddenly moved.

In an instant, she appeared before Huo Ling'er.

Yu Qishui and Wei Yushan were both locked down by experts from the Dragon Profound Sect, unable to move. Huo Ling'er's Holy Fire Eyes detected Long Ziyin's movement, but due to the gap in cultivation, she couldn't dodge in time!

Long Ziyin directly seized Huo Ling'er's throat with one hand!

"Sister Ling'er!"

Mu Qianning's face changed drastically, filled with urgency. "Let go of Sister Ling'er!"

Long Ziyin, however, sneered coldly, looking at Huo Ling'er. "There's something strange about you. I'll have to cripple your cultivation first!"

As she spoke, a spike of ice formed on her palm!

"A Spirit Severing Nail!"

Someone cried out in alarm.

The Spirit Severing Nail could lock a cultivator's spiritual power, gradually turning it into Profound Ice until it was completely drained.

"How dare you!"

Mu Qianning grew even more frantic. At this moment, she cast all caution aside and said, "If you dare lay a hand on Sister Ling'er, Senior Li will surely make you pay the price!"

"Senior Li?"

Long Ziyin sneered instead. "What is Senior Li? Even if a Supreme were here, they couldn't save her today!"

Seeing this, Huo Mingxuan spoke with venom, "That's right, Dragon Saintess, just destroy her. Our Fire Kingdom Royal Family won't utter a single word of objection!"

The Spirit Severing Nail in Long Ziyin's hand was about to pierce Huo Ling'er's body!

The scroll in Huo Ling'er's sleeve was nearly ready to unfurl!

But, at that very moment—

"Boom—"

The Supreme Coffin at the center burst open!

A figure clad in a black Supreme Burial Robe rose from within the coffin!

In that instant, the flames permeating the surrounding Secret Realm suddenly changed color, turning black!

At the outermost edge, the Supreme Formation Array's veins reappeared. The black flames transformed into thousands of ghostly beasts, circling in the air, surrounding the thousands of cultivators who had entered the Secret Realm!

In an instant, everyone's face changed!

"What's going on?"

"No... a Supreme resurrected? The Lihuo Supreme... hasn't died after all?"

"Why does the aura around us feel so evil? It makes my soul tremble..."

Everyone was stunned.

"Not good, the Supreme has demonified into a demon?!"

An old man from the Dragon Profound Sect spoke in shock!

At these words, the surroundings were horrified.

"A Supreme demonifying into a demon... this is one of the greatest terrors!"

"Seeking immortality but becoming a demon instead—the Lihuo Supreme has become the Lihuo Demon Venerable... a calamity second only to the Evil God... Heaven, I fear we're done for today!"

"This is no blessed land of fortune; this is nothing but a demonic realm!"

In an instant, the Great Sects panicked and began to flee.

Hurried as stray dogs, frantic as fish escaping the net!

When a Supreme becomes a demon, even a living Supreme would give them a wide berth. If they didn't leave immediately, death was the only outcome.

"Ah—"

But just as they tried to flee outward, a flying ship was directly pounced upon by a vulture formed of black flames, and the entire ship was incinerated!

Countless people were attacked by flame-formed creatures!

Faced with the Demonified Supreme's Black Flame, no one could stop it.

Everyone was thrown into panic!

The Dragon Profound Sect, the Immortal Music Pavilion!

At this moment, the forces of both sects were on high alert, trembling with fear!

They dared not flee, could not flee.

Because the Lihuo Demon Venerable... had already locked onto them!

The Lihuo Demon Venerable was tall and imposing, his aura extraordinary. In the faint traces, one could still see the bearing of a great cultivator who once roamed the world.

But now, he was overflowing with demonic energy, black mist spreading, and his eyes were a sickly green!

"I... pave the way for the king!"

"My rebirth... will bring about the World-Ending..."

From the Lihuo Demon Venerable's mouth came ancient, obscure words. He suddenly raised a hand!

"No!"

On the ships of the Lihuo Sect and the Immortal Music Pavilion, the Void Integration experts cried out in agony!

Bang bang bang bang!

All the Void Integration experts exploded into clouds of blood mist in that instant!

The remaining people were dumbfounded, utterly dumbfounded!

Those were Void Integration experts, and before the Demon Venerable, it was merely a raised hand...

Too terrifying!

Long Ziyin was stunned. She subconsciously released Huo Ling'er and stared at the terrifying Demon Venerable, instinctively stepping backward!

When the Demon Venerable appeared, who could contend with him?

"Demon Venerable, do not be reckless!"

Suddenly, from outside the Secret Realm, a voice of Dao pierced through the great formation!

Countless people turned their heads in unison, only to see three terrifying figures already appearing in the sky!

"Three elders, save me!"

Long Ziyin cried out!

They were three Mahayana Stage experts from the Dragon Profound Sect!

They urgently deployed countless Magic Treasures, trying to break through the formation and rescue Long Ziyin.

But the Demon Venerable merely waved a hand!

Countless black flames instantly transformed into a Black Heavenly Wolf, which roared forth and in the blink of an eye reached the three Mahayana Stage experts!

The Heavenly Wolf opened its maw and swallowed the three Mahayana Stage cultivators in one gulp!

The next moment, only charred skeletons fell from the sky.

Instant kill of three Mahayana Stage experts.

Long Ziyin stared at this scene, dumbfounded and shocked.

Was this the Demon Venerable's true strength?

Everyone was in despair!

"Everyone, do not panic! Our Taiyan Holy Land has long prepared for this!"

Ling Xian stepped forward and crushed a jade talisman!

Outside the Secret Realm, a spatial Teleportation Array suddenly appeared!

Long-distance teleportation!

The Demon Venerable's Black Fire Heavenly Wolf paused at this moment, actually waiting for the person in the teleportation array to emerge.

"Demonic qi runs rampant—it seems a true demon has indeed been born..."

An old man with white hair appeared from the teleportation array.

When he appeared, it drew gasps from the crowd.

"This is an Old Venerable of the Taiyan Holy Land... second only to a Supreme!"

"Yes, Gu Tuoya Venerable!"

"The Taiyan Holy Land has dispatched a Venerable of this level—it seems they anticipated what would happen here?"

Everyone was overjoyed!

With such a powerful figure arriving, perhaps they could suppress the Demon Venerable!

Gu Tuoya Venerable appeared in the sky, swept his gaze across, and snorted coldly, "Indeed, a Demon Venerable!"

"Today, This Seat shall grant you utter death!"

He produced a sword from his hand!

It was an extremely ancient sword.

"A Quasi-Immortal Sword, to slay the Demon Venerable!"

Gu Tuoya Venerable roared, and the Ancient Sword's vast Sword Qi erupted, spanning the heavens, a terrifying golden sword light that shattered the Black Fire Heavenly Wolf and slashed toward the formation!

"The Quasi-Immortal Sword is invincible!"

"This was the Immortal's final sword before ascending, symbolizing the limit of the Supreme realm!"

"It already carries a trace of Immortal qi—enough to slay the Demon Venerable!"

Everyone spoke up!

All eyes were filled with hope!

But the Demon Venerable merely raised a hand again!

Demonic fire filled the sky, transforming into a black fire dragon!

The black, sinister fire dragon coiled in the sky, blotting out the heavens and the earth, burning even the air itself to nothing, and lunged forward with a mighty surge!

The next moment!

The boundless golden sword light was set ablaze!

The black fire dragon roared and swallowed Gu Tuoya Venerable in one gulp!

"No—!"

Gu Tuoya Venerable's horrifying scream rang out!

Then, Gu Tuoya Venerable was reduced to nothing, leaving only a pitch-black ancient sword plummeting from the sky!

The Black Demon Dragon did not pause at all, directly lunging toward the Teleportation Array that had yet to close!

It wanted to charge into the Taiyan Holy Land!

At this moment, thousands of miles away in the Taiyan Holy Land—

Inside an Ancient Hall, the Teleportation Array suddenly trembled!

An Old Venerable guarding the array changed expression drastically and said, "A great enemy is about to break through the Teleportation Array, please summon the Supreme!"

Beneath the Taiyan Holy Land, a terrifying figure abruptly opened its eyes. The next moment, a majestic silhouette had already appeared within the Ancient Hall.

"Hong Xuan Supreme, a great enemy is here, please act!"

The Old Venerable spoke urgently.

That majestic figure, however, took a deep breath and said:

"No! A demonic aura surpassing the Supreme, terrifying beyond measure... cannot be fought... Close the Teleportation Array! Otherwise, the Holy Land will face great calamity!"

He acted personally!

Thousands of miles away, through the Teleportation Array, the thousands of people in the Secret Realm heard these brief exchanges!

Immediately after, the Teleportation Array rapidly vanished!

The Black Demon Dragon ultimately lunged into empty air!

Within the Secret Realm, the thousands of people... were all dumbfounded!

Dead silence, utterly dead silence!
