The way they looked at Yi Zi
underwent a complete transformation.
An intangible dread wound its way through the hearts of every living being who had witnessed Fei Yi's fall.
Yi Zi's methods were simply far too secretive.
If Fei Yi had not taken the hit first,
then any other Da Luo encountering Yi Zi first could have capsized outright.
How could such a terrifying existence
not fill people with dread?
Yet just as all beings were gripped by terror,
another demon suddenly appeared before Yi Zi.
His arrival carried no aura whatsoever.
However,
every being that had been watching Yi Zi
shifted their attention to this demon the moment he appeared.
Because
this was the Leader of Ten Thousand Demons—
Bai Ze!!!
The core figures of the Heavenly Court were naturally the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who had single-handedly established both the demon race and the Heavenly Court.
After them
came:
the Teacher of Ten Thousand Demons, Kun Peng!
The Leader of Ten Thousand Demons, Bai Ze!
Yet unlike Kun Peng,
Bai Ze was not merely the Leader of Ten Thousand Demons.
He was also the foremost of the Ten Great Demon Marshals, wielding actual authority.
No matter how one looked at it,
Bai Ze was unquestionably the demon race's third-ranking figure.
This was especially true after Kun Peng had betrayed Di Jun during the great battle between the witches and demons.
And now, he had appeared directly on the battlefield at the Divine Capital.
The implications of this
needed only a moment's thought
to fill every being aware of the inside story with boundless alarm.
Yi Zi saw Bai Ze as well.
In truth, he had never met Bai Ze before.
That was only natural.
After all, Yi Zi was not from the Primordial World.
Yet the instant he saw Bai Ze,
he knew that this demon before him was Bai Ze.
Though Bai Ze appeared to display no aura on the surface,
the heaven and earth around him constantly circulated with a certain unique Dao rhythm.
It was like proof of identity.
Any being capable of sensing that Dao rhythm
would never mistake Bai Ze for someone else.
But to be honest,
this was not a Da Luo method.
It was power that only a Quasi-Saint, one who had surpassed Da Luo, could possess.
In other words,
Bai Ze, the Leader of Ten Thousand Demons and foremost of the Ten Great Demon Marshals, was a Quasi-Saint who had surpassed Da Luo!!!
"Bai Ze is a Quasi-Saint!"
Through Yi Zi's senses, Zhou Yuan saw Bai Ze's presence.
He was startled as well.
Da Luo was already so terrifying.
A Quasi-Saint...
What kind of power would that possess?
Zhou Yuan felt somewhat tense.
He accelerated the operation of the World-Breaking Bead once more.
At the scene.
"Yi Zi."
Bai Ze appeared before Yi Zi.
He glanced at him.
But he did not linger on him.
After that single glance, he turned his gaze toward the void above Divine Capital Luoyang, behind Yi Zi.
As Bai Ze shifted his gaze toward the void,
an illusory figure seemed to surge out from his body.
This phantom seemed to carry the characteristics of the laws of time and space.
Flickering between concealment and manifestation, it invisibly churned heaven and earth into a tangled mess.
Crack!
Amid that chaos,
the sky above Divine Capital Luoyang shattered.
No.
It was not the sky that had shattered.
Rather, a concealment formation above the skies of Divine Capital Luoyang had been torn apart by Bai Ze through invisible means.
The heavenly curtain broke apart.
Revealing those behind it.
Xuan Du!
Sui Xiang!
When these two suddenly appeared behind the heavenly curtain Bai Ze had torn open,
within Divine Capital Luoyang,
all the humans erupted in uproar.
Why?
Because these two possessed extraordinary identities.
Xuan Du.
He was the final Innate Human Race member in all of heaven and earth.
Though none of his bloodline remained among the present-day acquired humans,
his identity alone—
the last Innate Human Race member in heaven and earth, and the Grand Supreme Sage, Sect Master of the Human Religion's sole direct disciple—
was enough for him to receive endless veneration among humanity.
As for Sui Xiang,
he was the fourteenth leader of the Dating Clan under the Fuxi Clan Imperial Court.
Though he had never achieved the great accomplishment of becoming a Human Emperor and joining the ranks of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors,
his status was no less extraordinary. Calling him one of humanity's most important and core great powers would not be an exaggeration.
If these two existences
had appeared by another means,
they would surely have received endless cheers and support.
Yet at this moment,
they had been exposed when Bai Ze tore apart the heavenly curtain.
From the look of things, they had clearly arrived long ago.
