Powerful Reinforcements and Formidable Enemies
"What?"
The moment that hand landed on his shoulder, Xiao Han was astonished to find that the turbulent Spiritual Power within his body instantly subsided, and the terrifying aura that had surged to the Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme level was instantly suppressed back to the Great Perfection Earthly Supreme.
Then, an extremely gentle Spiritual Power surged into his body, repairing the meridians damaged by the violent Spiritual Power, and even making up for some of the life force depleted due to the use of the Secret Method.
"Little guy, I have to admit, you are indeed exceptionally talented. Such a huge improvement has only come at such a negligible price."
Before Xiao Han could ask who the newcomer was, an old man's words, filled with strong approval, came from behind him.
However, Xiao Han did not react to the praise, but the Spirit King and others who were seriously injured and out of the battle in the distance were all dumbfounded, because they had already recognized the old man's identity. How many years had it been since this man praised someone like this?
As someone qualified to provide reinforcements, the old man was undoubtedly a Saint Grade Heavenly Supreme. Moreover, Xiao Han was extremely lucky; this time, the reinforcements were among the oldest and strongest beings in the Great Thousand World.
As a strategic weapon of the Great Thousand Palace, the old man ranks among the top in the Great Thousand Palace in terms of both seniority and strength. His long and rich life experience cannot be summed up in a single sentence.
To be able to become Saint Grade Heavenly Supreme, the old man is undoubtedly a super genius.
Over the long years, the old man had seen countless so-called geniuses, including top geniuses who broke through to the Heavenly Supreme level before the age of one hundred. Discussing talent in front of him was quite laughable, and his best reaction was probably to just laugh it off.
Xiao Han's titles of Great Perfection Earthly Supreme and Spirit Grade Grandmaster might make most people look at him differently, but they are not worthy of such praise from the old man.
What truly caught his eye was the Secret Method Xiao Han used when he was about to fight to the death.
The Great Thousand World is never short of Secret Method that can temporarily enhance one's cultivation, but such an outrageous method as Xiao Han's is truly the first time the old man has ever seen one.
The leap from the Great Perfection Earthly Supreme to the Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme in one go is equivalent to ascending to heaven in a single step. Even if it only lasts for a few minutes, it is still a terrifying result.
This time, Xiao Han encountered three Profound Demon Emperors. Under normal circumstances, for Great Perfection Earthly Supreme to encounter an enemy of Spirit Rank Heavenly Supreme is considered a death sentence.
Thus, Xiao Han's Secret Method has a certain terrifying meaning. Perhaps, unless he is foolish enough to provoke some reclusive old monster, he will have the ability to take any enemy down with him.
Oh, saying they would perish together might be an oversimplification, because Xiao Han wouldn't die; at most, his foundation would be damaged, his cultivation level would drop, and his lifespan would be reduced.
According to the old man's investigation, after Xiao Han used this Secret Method to temporarily advance to the Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme, the vitality in his body disappeared as quickly as the snow in early spring. Not only his vitality, but also his cultivation level vanished.
If he hadn't appeared in time, Xiao Han would not only have been seriously injured and on the verge of death when the battle ended, but his cultivation would have also plummeted to the Three Heavens Realm, turning him from a lively young man into an old man on the verge of death.
The cost was indeed heavy, but what about the results?
Xiao Han was able to achieve such an unprecedented and unparalleled feat as Great Perfection Earthly Supreme who defeated three Profound Demon Emperors, a glorious achievement that would be remembered for eternity in the Great Thousand Worlds.
Moreover, is the loss of vitality and the drop in cultivation really such a big deal?
The Ancient Ten Thousand Grassland has no less than a hundred kinds of elixirs that can replenish vitality and repair the foundation. With his talent regained and resources plentiful, wouldn't Xiao Han be able to return to his peak in no time?
Rounding up, Xiao Han, with his Great Perfection Earthly Supreme cultivation, soloed the dungeon with three Profound Demon Emperor without taking any damage.
Although the old man was on the battlefield and wanted to have a deep conversation with Xiao Han, he knew it was not a good opportunity.
"The Senluo Blood Hand!"
Meanwhile, the Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor, anticipating that something was amiss, launched a sneak attack on the old man with a blood-red hand while he was off guard.
"Hmm, what a disrespectful brat. The Extraterrestrial Evil race is indeed a bunch of uncivilized barbarians."
The old man frowned slightly, his tone displeased. He stomped his cane, and faint ripples appeared in the void, spreading out into the distance. Following the direction of the ripples, rows of green buds sprouted and grew into towering Giant Tree at a visible speed.
"Boom!"
The crimson giant hand collided heavily with the light barrier erected above the Giant Tree. The giant hand dissipated, but the light barrier only rippled and quickly returned to normal.
"Damn it!"
Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor cursed inwardly. After a brief test, he realized that he was no match for this old man who looked like he had to stop every three steps to walk.
He looked at the defensive line opposite him, which had been secured by reinforcements, and a thought of retreat suddenly arose in his mind.
But someone soon forced him to abandon the idea.
"Trying to run? Do you really think my Great Thousand Realms is a place where your Extraterrestrial Evil race can come and go as they please?"
An old, hoarse voice, yet filled with terrifying killing intent, gently drifted into the Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor's ears. A strong sense of crisis enveloped the Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor, who looked up to see a dark green Wood Dragon roaring as it charged towards him, casually sweeping away a few unlucky souls along the way. Its lifeless eyes sent a chill down the Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor's spine.
"Great Blood Demon Shield!"
With a loud shout, the Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor rapidly gathered his blood energy, condensing it into a blood shield with a diameter of only a few feet in front of him.
"Boom!"
The Wood Dragon opened its massive maw and instantly swallowed the blood shield along with the Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor. The dragon's shadow circled in the sky for a while before finally spitting out a cloud of blood-red unidentified matter as if it were spitting out garbage.
"Well······"
The blood-red unidentified object gradually transformed into the appearance of the Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor. At this moment, the latter was no longer the calm and composed man with the demeanor of a powerful figure who had faced Xiao Han and a group of powerful figures from the Great Thousand Worlds not long ago. His only feeling was the joy of surviving a calamity and narrowly escaping death.
"Still alive?"
"The scum of the Blood Demon Tribe are just too hard to kill."
The death knell sounded desperately, and the old man pointed his cane at the Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor. A Flowing Light of emerald light was about to pierce the latter's brow and steal his life.
"Puff."
A jade-like hand suddenly blocked the Flowing Light, casually grabbing it and extinguishing Flowing Light instantly.
"Old man Tianmu, please give me some face and spare this worthless member of my clan, okay?"
The newcomer was a handsome man with a fair complexion, dressed in a long black robe and with a black fur collar around his neck. Apart from his blood-red pupils, he was almost indistinguishable from the rest of the people in the world.
Upon seeing this person, Old Man Tian Mu's face turned ashen, and he let out a cold snort.
"Blood God Heavenly Demon Emperor! The Blood Demon Tribe Clan Chief is personally leading the charge, attempting to invade our Great Thousand World?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a ring of emerald green Spiritual Power surrounded the body of the Old Man Tian Mu. His powerful aura swept past Xiao Han and crushed towards his opponent.
"Ah, that's not right."
The Blood God Heavenly Demon Emperor shook his head, effortlessly dispelling the pressure from Old Man Tian Mu.
"I'm just here to save people. They are my clansmen, though they are a bit useless. As the clan leader, I can't just ignore them."
"Otherwise, it might be difficult to lead the team in the future."
Blood God Heavenly Demon Emperor was a clear-headed man. When Old Man Tian Mu, the most powerful figure in the Great Thousand Palace, personally appeared, it meant that the Great Thousand Palace was ready to defend against enemies outside its borders.
He had great faith in the foundation of the Great Thousand World, which was certainly beyond the reach of a mere peak Heavenly Demon Emperor like himself, and even the Sacred Demon Race could not handle it.
The Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor stood to the side with his head down, listening obediently to the Blood God Heavenly Demon Emperor's belittling of him, without uttering a word.
"Then you can get out of here now."
Looking at the tragic state of the Saint Abyss City defense line, the initial intelligence indicated that there were fifty Heavenly Supreme, but now only about twenty remain, a sharp decrease of more than half. The survivors are all injured and will need at least several months or even one or two years to recover. If they had arrived an hour later, they would probably only be able to collect the corpses.
To be honest, Old Man Tian Mu desperately wanted to send the culprit to hell, but this idea was Destruction when the Blood God Heavenly Demon Emperor appeared.
The two fought each other a century ago and were evenly matched; they are unlikely to be far apart now.
Even including the powerful figures he brought with him, the Extraterrestrial Evil race still has the upper hand in terms of sheer strength. The reason they haven't advanced further is simply to guard against the hidden power of the Great Thousand World and prevent him from dragging everyone down with him.
"Well... see you another day!"
The Blood God Heavenly Demon Emperor smiled and waved to the calm and collected Old Man Tian Mu opposite him, leading the powerful Evil Clan into the blood-red vortex behind him.
