"Martial Ancestor is not someone easily met."

Luo Li agreed with White Dragon Supreme's thoughts.

She knew just how deeply Martial Ancestor Lin Dong hated the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan.

Back then, after tearing through space and ascending to the Great Thousand World, he immediately went to find his wife, even waging war against the Ice Spirit Clan.

And Martial Ancestor's wife had died due to the persecution of the Otherworldly Demon Clan, a branch of the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan.

The Blood Evil Clan from White Dragon Supreme's Lower Plane also belonged to the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan, so they would naturally be hated by him.

However.

Just as Luo Li had said, this Heavenly Sovereign, who stood among the very peak of the Great Thousand World, was not someone ordinary people could encounter.

If they wanted to seek his help, they would have to go to the Martial Realm.

The Martial Realm was a superpower personally founded by Martial Ancestor.

But it was not located in the prosperous heartlands of the Great Thousand World. Instead, it stood near the border closest to the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan, constantly resisting the threat of their invasion.

An ordinary Supreme Realm cultivator would need an extremely long time to travel to the Martial Realm.

And that was merely the travel time. There were simply too many unforeseen incidents that could occur along the way.

Perhaps they might unknowingly offend someone and be slapped to death.

Moreover, the location of the Martial Realm was not something one could casually learn.

To travel through the Great Thousand World, a star map was indispensable.

A star map outlined the routes within a certain region.

Yet even the finest star map could not clearly chart every region of the Great Thousand World.

Once someone became lost, returning to the Northern Heavens Continent would not be easy.

Even if they truly reached the Martial Realm, how could they possibly meet Martial Ancestor just because they wished to?

Dean Ta Cang of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy appeared easy to get along with.

But how could it be so easy to simply go looking for him?

Even if the Luo God Clan stepped forward, they could not guarantee it.

Reality was just that harsh.

"Indeed, this is difficult."

White Dragon Supreme sighed. Back then, he had sent out quite a few people, but in the end, all of them vanished without a trace.

Martial Ancestor's reputation was resounding, but a figure of that stature was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The Extraterrestrial Evil Clan had far too many branches.

There were no shortage of branches like the Blood Evil Clan that had invaded countless planes of the Great Thousand World.

Even if he hated the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan to the extreme, he still had to face one reality: there were not enough people.

Even if he wanted to help, there was no way to do so.

"More than a thousand years have already passed. A few more years will not matter."

Black Dragon Supreme immediately said, "With Master's talent, she will surely reach the Heavenly Sovereign realm within a few years!"

For now, they could only place their hopes on Luo Li.

Judging from Luo Li's cultivation speed, she surpassed all her peers.

Perhaps even throughout the entire Great Thousand World, she ranked among the very best.

Furthermore, the Luo God Clan possessed sufficient foundations. Her becoming a Heavenly Sovereign should only be a matter of time.

That was, provided that no accidents occurred.

Zhao Chen glanced at Black Dragon Supreme. This fellow certainly knew how to talk.

"Rather than pinning your hopes on us, why not cultivate diligently and avenge yourself?"

His words instantly left Black Dragon Supreme speechless.

After more than a thousand years of cultivation, he was only at the Fifth-grade Supreme Realm.

No matter how hard he worked, with his talent being what it was, how could he possibly seek revenge?

Rather than revenge, it would be more accurate to call it seeking death.

Black Dragon Supreme coughed twice before immediately saying,

"This lowly one lacks such ability. I hope Lord Thunder Emperor will take greater care of me."

"The Extraterrestrial Evil Clan is the common enemy of our Great Thousand World!"

White Dragon Supreme narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched this shameless surrender.

He truly had not expected Black Dragon Supreme to change so thoroughly.

The Black Dragon Supreme of the past would never have shown even the slightest weakness.

Whether he was sincere or not, at least his conduct was humble and submissive.

As the saying went, judge deeds, not hearts. So long as Black Dragon Supreme could return from the wrong path and stop slaughtering innocents, that would be enough.

"Then you have chosen the right person."

Zhao Chen patted Black Dragon Supreme on the shoulder and chuckled. "I, the Thunder Emperor, hate evil fiends most of all."

He had mastered the Thunder Emperor Art; he was naturally the nemesis of wicked and demonic forces!

Any Extraterrestrial Evil Clan member who encountered him would certainly be weakened.

Black Dragon Supreme repeatedly nodded in agreement, but inwardly grumbled.

This fellow was warning him again.

If he dared slaughter innocents again, his end would certainly be worse than that of the evil fiends.

If he had not retained some value for now, he would likely have been struck dead by lightning long ago!

"Since that is the case, take my White Dragon Spirit Pearl and the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar with you."

White Dragon Supreme nodded slightly. With Black Dragon Supreme following the young clan leader of the Luo God Clan, the possibility of saving their homeland in the future was great.

This Supreme Spiritual Body of his had not expended much energy.

The power contained within the White Dragon Spirit Pearl would still allow them to fight a true Fifth-grade Supreme Realm expert for several hundred exchanges, until its spiritual energy was exhausted.

"Black Dragon, you must live on for us and destroy the Blood Evil Clan!"

White Dragon Supreme looked deeply at Black Dragon Supreme. His white-clad figure turned into dust and vanished from where he stood.

The White Dragon Spirit Pearl atop the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar slowly flew toward Luo Li.

And after losing the White Dragon Spirit Pearl that served as the core of the great formation's seal, the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar immediately began to tremble.

The outline of its pitch-black stone pillar was covered in cracks.

Under the gazes of Luo Li, Zhao Chen, and the others, it instantly shattered the entwining purple chains and revealed its true form.

It was a black demonic pillar stained with blood, its ferocious aura rushing toward them.

Luo Li frowned and looked at Black Dragon Supreme, saying coldly,

"Now I know why White Dragon Supreme took away the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar back then."

This fellow had blood-sacrificed quite a few people.

The baleful aura of those wronged souls had made this Primordial Fiendish Weapon increasingly demonic.

Originally, the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar had gained its fierce and baleful aura by killing many evil fiends in great battles.

Though both were stained with blood, there was an essential difference between them.

"Please forgive me, Master!"

With a thud, Black Dragon Supreme directly dropped to his knees and prostrated himself on the ground.

Even with the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar right before him, he had no thought of fighting for it.

With the divine beast Nine Netherworld Dark Bird and the black-robed Thunder Emperor here, there was no chance of him succeeding.

Furthermore, even if Black Dragon Supreme possessed the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar, his combat strength would not rise by much.

With Black Dragon Supreme's own abilities, he could not subdue a Primordial Fiendish Weapon.

This was also one of the reasons why the Dragon Demon Palace had used the blood of innocents to blood-sacrifice the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar back then.

"I will not pursue what happened in the past."

Luo Li's expression remained indifferent as she warned, "But from this day onward, if you dare slaughter innocents again, I will never spare you!"

When that time came, even dying would be difficult for him!

Although cultivation was cruel, and life-or-death battles often erupted over the struggle for resources.

There were still unspoken rules. One of them was that defenseless innocents were not to be massacred wantonly.

What the Dragon Demon Palace had done in the past—capturing large numbers of innocents to blood-sacrifice the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar—had undoubtedly crossed the bottom line.

As White Dragon Supreme had said, how different was that from the Blood Evil Clan that had invaded his homeland?

Black Dragon Supreme repeatedly kowtowed and cried out sincerely,

"Thank you, Master, for sparing my life. This lowly one will remember it well and never slaughter innocents again!"

He truly had to turn over a new leaf and become a new man!

Zhao Chen reached out, and a black lightning phoenix claw condensed into existence, seizing the frenzied Great Sumeru Demon Pillar.

"Thunder Emperor Art, deliver salvation!"

Visible to the naked eye, thick black smoke billowed from the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar.

The resentment of countless wronged souls completely dispersed.

Under the salvation of Black God Lightning, this Primordial Fiendish Weapon completed its cleansing.

Though it remained black, it now gave off a feeling of utmost righteousness and blazing purity.

Strands of lightning coiled around it.

"Now, it should be called the Great Sumeru Sacred Pillar!"
