With a clang.
A long sword swept across the northern frontier, stretching across the starry sky, unleashing billions of Saber Qi, like a massive meteor shower, causing the entire Starry Sky to tremble.
Jiang Ping's true form resonated with the Dao Self, and through this, he saw a figure in the Nine Heavens.
That was Yan Xiangbei. The other party still looked unapproachable, with a solemn and dignified expression, and arrived holding a peerless treasured sword.
With a loud boom, Yan Xiangbei stepped into the Time and Space without hesitation, intending to capture the demonic cultivator.
During this period, although the World Lord Fang Hua experienced some emotional fluctuations, he ultimately did not follow them.
This Supreme Experts's strength was comparable to a Big Mountain among the Great Accomplishment World Lord, yet he was still wary of the Supreme Treasure in Ye Jing's possession.
Not long after, Yan Xiangbei returned to this frontier Giant City, but clearly, he had come up empty-handed again. Ye Jing had disappeared without a trace after succeeding in his scheme, and could not be found.
Fang Hua stared at the portal Time and Space and sighed, "Such a hero, yet he only knows how to do things that are against heaven and reason."
"He can kill Great Accomplishment World Lord; this person has fully grown into a towering dragon."
One of the World Lord was somewhat dazed, his face filled with astonishment.
Looking back, Ye Jing was once a promising and talented individual in this Starry Sky, admired by his Peers and praised by his seniors; it all seems like it happened just yesterday.
But in the blink of an eye, everything changed. The other party had become a great demon, a powerful and ruthless figure who could kill the Supreme Experts the same field as soon as he entered the Great Accomplishment Realm.
That kind of strength is terrifying.
"This demon must have been able to kill Great Accomplishment World Lord because of that Incompleteness Supreme Treasure."
A certain genius couldn't help but speak up, unwilling to believe that someone from his own time could have achieved this.
"No, the demon succeeded through his own strength."
The Dao Ancestor from the neighboring region immediately corrected him, recounting the details of that battle.
Ye Jing did indeed use his Supreme Treasure, but only to cover up the Causality; he did not use the peerless object to intimidate others.
"This demon is actually this powerful?!"
Li Yiren frowned slightly. She never forgot the grudge of Obstruction of the Path and even thought of settling scores with him after breaking through the Heavenly Pass.
However, before she could even ascend to the heavens, that person was already able to kill a Great Accomplishment World Lord.
"Yes, according to the post-battle analysis by several Great Accomplishment World Lords, this person seems to have mastered the Taboo Law of your realm. His true form and two supreme bodies appeared together, making him virtually invincible among those of the Same Realm."
Even the neighboring Dao Ancestor's voice trembled, unable to calm his heart.
The "Reverse Effect into Cause" method is no longer a secret; Supreme Experts and geniuses in the surrounding star regions are studying it.
However, its difficulty is so high that some people believe it is even more challenging than some Peerless Law.
Ye Jing's study of this scripture is considered Great Accomplishment, and in fact, given the current situation, he is on par with the founder of this method.
Many people even believe that this method will truly flourish because of Ye Jing.
"Dao Self?!"
Li Yiren suddenly turned around and looked into a cave in the city. As far as she knew, the one who had come to the frontier with her was Jiang Ping Dao-Self Body.
"Yes, those Great Accomplishment World Lords have concluded that Ye Jing has cultivated the Supreme Dao Self Dharma Body."
The neighboring Dao Ancestor spoke with absolute certainty, and then couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:
"That is my Dao-Self Body! According to the scriptures, it is a level higher than the original body's realm. What heaven-defying scripture! Only with such power could that demon kill a Great Accomplishment World Lord."
"He's practically Unrivaled Devil Master looks down upon the stars and the sea. Who in this world can stop him? Won't he reach complete perfection and ascend to the pinnacle of the World Lord, where his peerless form will be revealed?"
Even the most gifted are so distraught that they dare not think too deeply.
Even the veteran supreme World Lord Fang Hua showed a surprised expression, quite moved, and couldn't help but praise, "Ye Jing's talent is indeed high enough, perfectly matching the 'Reverse Effect into Cause' method."
He has been studying that technique ever since he obtained it, but he has not been able to achieve what Ye Jing has done, and it is difficult for him to cultivate the strongest dual body in a short period of time.
"I truly don't know if your realm is too blessed or too special, not only creating a generation of demons, but also tailoring unparalleled Unrivaled for him. With those two supreme Dharma Body, Ye Jing really wants to look down on the world. The people of my hometown are all in awe, and even the Great Accomplishment World Lord can't eat or sleep in peace."
World Lord appeared, then sighed, his tone somewhat resentful.
The powerful figures of Northfall Star Creek looked at each other strangely, unsure how to answer. It was true that the demon was from their Starry Sky, and it was also true that the "Reverse Effect into Cause" method was created by this Starry Sky. According to this logic, it was indeed this Starry Sky that created an invincible monster.
"On the other hand, the Thousand Seas Sacred Hall is about to recruit people. With Ye Jing's talent and strength, why wouldn't he prepare for battle instead of trying to kill World Lord?"
"What else could it be but preparation for that grand event, to enhance our strength? Do you really think it was just the fall of a Great Accomplishment World Lord? The truth is far more tragic. Two Great Thousand Worlds were swallowed up, a total of three World Lord perished, and countless other beings were lost—the number is staggering."
The neighboring World Lord sighed deeply, his face filled with grief and indignation.
This was the most devastating man-made disaster his hometown had experienced in millions of years. Two thriving worlds and countless outstanding individuals suffered a devastating blow because of one person.
Faced with such a horrific tragedy, no one was able to solve it.
"Back then, your Jade Peak Realm was also devoured by that demon. Didn't the Yan Household do anything about it? Didn't that Peerless Ancestor, who was so high and mighty, ever step forward?"
Some people spoke with a questioning tone, hoping that the Yan Household would bring out their Peerless Ancestor to eliminate this great scourge for all living beings.
Everyone fell silent. When Jade Peak Realm was destroyed, that Peerless Ancestor did not appear, let alone a neighboring region unrelated to Northfall Star Creek.
"Fellow Daoists, please accept our condolences. There is nothing we can do to help you. Moreover, given Ye Jing's talent and strength, he is likely to become a member of the Thousand Seas Sacred Hall at the grand gathering eight years from now. The Yan Household must also have this in mind."
One of the Dao Ancestor couldn't help but offer a defense of the Yan Household.
Judging from Ye Jing's Mysterious Scripture, this person is definitely an extraordinary anomaly, perhaps more than just Great Accomplishment World Lord.
Such a person, once he joins the Eternal Force, will have boundless freedom and no one will be able to stop him.
Soon after the incident, the news spread Northfall Star Creek, shocking everyone.
"He's actually grown to that level?!"
The prodigies and geniuses of the same era as the demon were all stunned, their minds shaken.
Even the Great Accomplishment World Lord were moved upon hearing the news, causing a great stir.
Some even heard Kunpeng Ancestor's low murmur, as if he regarded Ye Jing as Peers and rival, his tone quite solemn.
After this little incident spread, it left the group of geniuses feeling disappointed once again.
If even the third person under this Starry Sky treats Ye Jing so seriously, one can imagine how powerful that demon is.
They knew that the so-called Four Heroes were about to become Three, because Ye Jing's focus was no longer on fighting among his Peers, but on killing the strongest older generation.
Even the arrogant Ji Xuan bluntly stated, "The pressure of being in the same era as this person is indeed immense."
"Who says otherwise? While we were still discussing the relative strengths of Yan Zhao Yan Xiangbei, and Jiang Ping, Ye Jing has already slain a Great Accomplishment World Lord, writing a glorious chapter in history."
"Huh? Speaking of which, didn't Yan Zhao say he had already set off for the northern frontier? It's been a year, and there's still no news. Did he actually clash with Jiang Ping?"
At this moment, some people remembered what happened a year ago and were eager to know what happened next.
In response, a prodigy chuckled lightly, "How can those heroes from afar compare to my Northfall Star Creek? Above us, the Devil Master Ye Jing has slain Great Accomplishment World Lord; below us, Jiang Ping looks down upon his Peers. I suppose Yan Zhao is truly afraid and dares not show his face."
"Say such things again. That scoundrel has even brought disaster to his own hometown; he is infamous for eternity. Do not be proud of him."
An old monster stepped forward and gave these outspoken prodigies a stern warning.
Admiring the strong is not a bad thing, but one should not take everyone as a role model and should have a sense of right and wrong.
History is always written by people. If a demon truly rises to power and reaches the Peerless Domain, perhaps future generations will only feel reverence for him.
A certain prodigy couldn't help but curl his lip.
What does temporary infamy matter? Which sage throughout history hasn't stained his hands with blood? Thousands of years later, these things will be forgotten, and no one will care.
Upon hearing this, the old man couldn't help but snort:
"To rise to prominence, one needs the support of the Eternal Power. We'll have to wait for the grand gathering several years from now. That Dao discussion will involve over ten thousand star domains, with Great Accomplishment Completion Realm experts. Although Ye Jing is strong, it's not certain he can break through the encirclement."
"Then let's wait and see."
Time flies, and seven years have passed in the blink of an eye.
A Great Accomplishment World Lord descended upon the Nine Heavens and said:
"The journey is long, it's time to set off for a breathtaking feast on earth."
