Symbol Ancestor and Demon Emperor Reappear! What Does Tricking the Ice Master Have to Do with Ying Huanhuan?
"Boom!"
Countless rays of light appeared on the enormous body of the Demon Emperor, growing increasingly frenzied and chaotic, causing the void to collapse, demonstrating just how terrifying the energy contained within was.
The Lord of Life and Death Mu Yinyin, said solemnly, "The Plane Rift was formed by my master burning his reincarnation. Normally, even the statue of the Demon Emperor, protected by the arm of the Demon Emperor, cannot destroy it, but..."
Everyone understood this, but what lay behind it was that the power of the Demon Emperor alone was insufficient to destroy the Plane Seal, but the combined power of these people was enough.
At their peak, the Eight Ancient Lords were only close to being Seventh-grade Supreme without Sovereign Dharma Body. But now they are all Ninth-Grade Sovereign Realm, and their Wheel of Reincarnation are transforming into their True Self Dharma Body, increasing their strength a thousandfold.
The eight Ancestral Symbol were refined by Zhang Yuan, not only improving their quality but also transforming into the Eight Ancestor Glass Tower, which are Quasi-Peerless Sacred Artifact. The eight of them could barely use them together.
The two forces combine.
"Heh heh, you guys reacted quickly, but it's too late to stop it."
The Heavenly King Hall erupted in triumphant laughter. "Summoning the phantom of our Emperor, wielding the Demon Statue of our Emperor, summoning the arm of the Demon Sovereign —everything was actually laid out at this moment. You've fallen for our trap!"
Rather than saying they fell into a trap, it would be more accurate to say that the Alien Demons Clan's plan was a series of interconnected steps. If they could seize control of the plane themselves, that would be ideal; if not, they would use the Alien Demon Emperor's Image to wipe out this world; and if all else fails, this is the current situation.
"It's over!"
Countless people turned deathly pale.
The Heavenly King Hall explained it so clearly that they finally understood that the Demon Prison had been fighting them with a death wish from the very beginning, and their final trump card was to combine their power to shake the Plane Seal.
Once the seal is broken, the Abyssal Demon Clan will truly make a comeback, and the ancient great war between heaven and earth will truly restart.
Back then, they had the power of the Symbol Ancestor to turn the tide; now, it's uncertain whether Zhang Yuan's strength is sufficient.
"Stop them!" Zi Yan shouted.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately began to use their abilities to try and stop the explosion of the Alien Demon Emperor's Image, even if it was just to weaken the final energy produced.
Unfazed, the Heavenly King Hall manipulated the Alien Demon Emperor's Image to deliver a simple yet powerful punch, shattering countless attacks in an instant, while simultaneously changing his hand seals.
"Boom!"
A violent force, filled with the intent to destroy, erupted forth.
Countless cracks Demon Statue in an instant, and then completely erupted.
Boom!
The Alien Demon Emperor's Image exploded like a dark, blazing sun, but the destructive power within it was not released; otherwise, it would have been enough to destroy the entire Four Xuan Regions.
The dark power was surrounded by eight-colored light, which condensed into a pillar of light that shot into the sky in an instant, visible throughout the entire plane.
This nine-colored beam of light, predominantly black, pierced through the clouds, shot straight into the sky, and flew directly towards the location of that Plane Seal.
"Our Emperor has broken free from the seal of the Symbol Ancestor!"
"Once this Plane Seal is broken, hehehe."
"My Emperor will descend upon this world once more!"
"You lot will eventually become slaves of my people!"
The voice from the Heavenly King Hall was filled with fanaticism and cruelty.
Upon hearing these words, many people turned pale, and despair spread through their hearts.
Even the Eight Ancient Lords and others showed fear on their faces, clearly terrified of the Demon Emperor.
"The Plane Seal was created by my master with all his might; it's not so easy to break."
Ying Huanhuan's voice rang out again. She raised her hand and pointed at the void, conjuring an enormous ice mirror that revealed a dark, empty land.
In the dark void, everyone saw a majestic and enormous ancient formation with no end in sight.
The array was covered with overlapping rays of energy, completely obscuring what lay behind it. However, powerful individuals could still clearly see that it was a massive rift, tens of thousands of feet long, like the mouth of an abyss, constantly spewing out evil energy, but all of it was blocked and purified by the massive array.
"This formation is almost at the Spirit Grade!" Qing Yanjing appeared beside Zhang Yuan.
"It's quite normal for Perfected Earthly Sovereign to burn their reincarnation, with Plane Embryo secretly supporting them from behind," Zhang Yuan said.
"Cousin, why don't I just go and fight my way into their plane?" Xiao Yan suddenly asked.
Their overall strength is not weak. Although Zhang Yuan is only Upper Earthly Sovereign, based on his understanding of his cousin, he must have a trump card that can kill Perfected Great Sovereign.
My sister-in-law Qing Yanjing, is Lower Earthly Sovereign and a Grandmaster Spirit Formation Master. She possesses the heritage of the Futuo Ancient Clan and has at least the combat power of Upper Earthly Sovereign.
Besides him, there's Senior Zhu Kun. Although he's also Lower Earthly Sovereign, he cultivates the Primal Dharma Body, Zhu Kun's bloodline has transformed to the level of Super Divine Beast, making them invincible within their realm and capable of fighting beyond their level.
With dozens of the Ninth-Grade Sovereign Realm experts added to the mix, there's absolutely no need to put on an act with the Heavenly King Hall. Wouldn't it be much more satisfying to just open Plane Rift and charge straight in?
Of course, his cousin must have his reasons, and he chose to believe him, but that didn't stop him from asking out of curiosity.
"With the right timing, location, and people, why should we just give it up?" Zhang Yuan shook his head slightly.
"Now that you've reached the Earthly Sovereign level, I'll explain the differences between each minor realm to you, lower level."
After listening patiently, Xiao Yan said seriously, "The Demon Emperor is comparable to a powerhouse Touched Heavenly Sovereign, but he cannot unleash his full potential on our home turf."
"That's right," Zhang Yuan said. "If we go to the other side, even though the Demon Emperor has been sealed for thousands of years, he can still obtain a large amount of demonic energy to replenish himself, allowing him to unleash strength that is almost indistinguishable from that of the Demon Emperor, comparable to Heavenly Sovereign."
"But if we were on the Tian Xuan Continent, he would be suppressed by the Plane Embryo and would be too eager to occupy this plane to properly heal his injuries before leading his people to attack. His strength would be limited, which would allow us to take the initiative."
"Furthermore, we don't know if the Demon Emperor can find help in the territory they occupy."
If he were to go to the other party's territory, Zhang Yuan was confident that he would not be defeated, but he dared not say that he could kill the Demon Emperor, after all, the other party was comparable to a powerhouse Touched Heavenly Sovereign.
"Then we definitely need to be more cautious." Xiao Yan nodded.
Zhang Yuan glanced at him and smiled, "After this, leave me a Soul Imprint and go explore the Great Thousand World. See how long it takes you to become Heavenly Sovereign."
A glint of fire appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes. "Cousin, don't worry, I will definitely become famous Great Thousand World and won't let you down. When you go to the Futuo Ancient Clan to propose marriage in the future, it will also boost your prestige."
Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Then you'd better work hard, lest you're not even Heavenly Sovereign by the time I get married."
Qing Yanjing's Divine Vein are still within the Futuo Ancient Clan; if he wants to break through to the Heavenly Sovereign, he needs to return to the clan.
When Zhang Yuan accompanies her, he should at least possess the strength of Heavenly Sovereign Immortal Grade, lest some stubborn old man try to break them up.
"Boom!"
While Zhang Yuan and his companions were chatting, the situation on the Tian Xuan Continent was still changing.
Countless people peered through Ying Huanhuan's methods, and a beam of destructive light streaked across the dark void, crashing into the ancient formation.
Boom!
The Plane Rift was located in the far reaches of the heavens and earth, yet the energy fluctuations generated by the collision of the pillar of light and the array made everyone feel the heavens and earth tremble. The energy of heaven and earth throughout the entire plane surged at this moment.
A massive energy ripple, hundreds of thousands of feet in size, spread out, constantly impacting that area, making the formation seem precarious.
At that moment, a layer of light appeared above the formation, filled with an ancient and supreme aura, and quickly transformed into a figure tens of thousands of feet tall.
With a casual wave of his hand, the man erased the extremely powerful destructive energy that was capable of destroying the Four Xuan Regions.
"Master!"
The Eight Ancient Lords stared intently at the beam of light.
After thousands of years, they never expected to see their master again.
"Boom!"
Just as the illusory figure of the Symbol Ancestor erased the attack, the Plane Seal within the formation trembled violently, and a blurry shadow of an evil incarnation within it shook.
The figure grew clearer, and the evil power emanating from it grew ever stronger, causing the seal formed by the array to tremble more violently.
In an instant, a thin but extremely dense and dazzling black beam of light shot out from behind the seal, arriving in front of the Symbol Ancestor and piercing through his brow.
"The Demon Emperor!"
The Eight Ancient Lords were enraged. Ying Huanhuan's brow creased with the Reincarnation Seal, and icy cold air surged from her body.
At this moment, everyone realized that the Heavenly King Hall's massive attack was not intended to destroy the seal formed by the Symbol Ancestor. He probably understood from the beginning that they could not break the Plane Seal.
From beginning to end, his goal was to make the illusory image of the Symbol Ancestor make a move, creating an opportunity for the Demon Emperor to attack from both inside and outside, thereby breaking the Plane Seal.
Thousands of years of scheming were merely meant to buy the Demon Emperor a chance to launch a sneak attack. Who could have imagined?
But this also shows that the power of the Symbol Ancestor and the Demon Emperor necessitates such a scheme by the Heavenly King Hall.
"But the timing of this attack was just too perfect, wasn't it?!" a Demon Emperor figure remarked.
"The Demon Emperor's Hand." Ying Huanhuan gritted her teeth and spat out the four words.
The Demon Emperor's Hand!?
Hiss!
A chill ran down the spines of Xiao Xuan, Gu Yuan, and the others.
By using the Demon Emperor's Hand to sense, and by transforming the Demon Emperor's Hand into his Image of the Demon Sovereign to launch an attack that would force the Symbol Ancestor to intervene, could it be that the Demon Emperor, when sealed away thousands of years ago, had already foreseen this day!?
Seemingly severed, he actually cut off his own arm, placing it in the Tian Xuan Continent as an inside agent, waiting for this opportunity thousands of years later!?
The Demon Emperor's scheming was so profound that even the Hun Tiandi couldn't match it.
"I thought these Outer Realm Evil Clan were just reckless!" Xiao Yan's eyes showed a hint of seriousness.
In his brief and limited contact with the Alien Demons, he perceived it as arrogant, rampant, destructive, and ruthless, but he never expected it to possess such cunning.
"Reckless?" Zhang Yuan laughed. "That's absolutely the biggest misunderstanding about the Outer Realm Evil Clan. They're just very confident in their own strength, so they appear that way. But in fact, their scheming skills are engraved in their bloodline and soul inheritance."
The inner demon secretly plotted to control Qin Tian and release the Heavenly Evil God, leaving Heart Demon Seed within him.
Because he was not a native being of the Great Thousand World, the Heavenly Evil God's strength was suppressed by the Great Thousand World, and he could only open the four-eyed state at most. He could not gain control of the Great Thousand World. So when the Immortal Great Emperor sacrificed himself to seal himself, he deliberately let himself be sealed by the Great Thousand World. Forty-nine thousand years later, he let the Outer Realm Evil Clan rescue him and get rid of the seal, and also get rid of the suppression that the Great Thousand World exerted on him.
Sacred God, the father of Heavenly Evil God, is the second Primordial God born in the Heavenly Origin Realm after the Ancestral Dragon. He can be called the Second Sequence, and his power is still infinite, but weaker than the Ancestral Dragon. He plots against the entire world in order to reach the supreme position. It all started with the Python Sparrow Swallowing Dragon.
This clan's schemes are all about risking everything, waiting endless years for a single, decisive blow.
"Don't let your guard down. This race's scheming skills are so formidable that even I have to be extremely vigilant," Zhang Yuan said solemnly. "Otherwise, with my current strength, why would I need to lure the Demon Emperor in to kill him? Even if I can't reach his world, I can still repair the Plane Rift."
Xiao Yan nodded emphatically, and a flame flew out from the flame between his brows, landing on the sealed area.
Unnoticed, the firelight recorded everything, gathering back some of its dissipating power.
"So you're already thinking about your future apprentice?" Zhang Yuan chuckled.
"The Symbol Ancestor is a person worthy of respect." Xiao Yan rubbed his nose.
He hadn't thought much of his cousin's suggestion to take on an apprentice at first, but now he actually thinks it's a good idea.
Unbeknownst to everyone, the ancient light and shadow gradually faded through the ice mirror, clearly indicating that the small black light had caused considerable damage.
"Symbol Ancestor!"
Many powerful natives of the Tian Xuan Continent exuded an aura of despair as they looked at the fading ancient light and shadow.
The expressions of the Eight Ancient Lords were also unpleasant, while the Heavenly King Hall was laughing wildly.
"What are you laughing at?" Zi Yan appeared in front of the Heavenly King Hall and slapped him into the void, where endless chains appeared and bound him.
If it weren't for wanting the Heavenly King Hall to know that he was just a clown, Zi Yan would have wanted to kill him outright.
"Don't despair!"
When the ancient light and shadow weakened to a certain extent, a glimmer of light appeared in his previously lifeless eyes. He turned his head to look in the direction of the ice mirror, and a smile appeared on his aged face.
His voice came from beyond the heavens, resounding throughout the entire plane, and an invisible force shook everyone.
"Master!"
Sensing something, the Lord of Life and Death all knelt before the ancient figure that was about to dissipate.
"The Demon Emperor had a backup plan, and so did I—it's you all."
"I believe that you are capable of protecting what you want to protect."
The light and shadow pierced through time and space, landing on Ying Huanhuan with an indescribable tenderness.
"Bing'er, I believe in you. Don't blame me for giving you such a heavy responsibility."
As soon as he finished speaking, Guangying smiled kindly and vanished completely.
Ying Huanhuan's aura grew increasingly cold as she turned to the crowd and said, "Zhang Yuan is still fighting the Evil Blood Heart Demon Clan and has not yet returned. This world can only rely on ourselves."
"Please, everyone, help me become the Emperor!"
Hearing her words, Little Yan looked at Zhang Yuan and laughed, "Cousin, aren't you afraid that if you lie to this young girl like this, she'll find out the truth and fight you to the death?"
Zhang Yuan glanced at her and said indifferently, "Huanhuan is a young girl, but the Ice Master is not. She's older than my Fire Spirit wife, so she definitely won't hold a grudge against a junior like me."
"Besides, what does it Ying Huanhuan do with Ying Huanhuan if I lie to the Ice Master?"
Xiao Yan: "."
This sounds familiar.
