The sky shattered.
Endless stars filled Shen Ye's vision.
He lowered his head and looked into the depths of the Demon Abyss.
As the earth crumbled, astonishing fluctuations of power erupted from deep within the Demon Abyss.
Ancient monsters were about to awaken, one after another.
According to historical records, they had destroyed the Supreme Immortal Kingdom. They had also established a civilization in the Ninety-Ninth-Layer Universe and monitored the multiverse, seeking to prevent the Heaven-Piercing Art from appearing in this world.
A flicker of wariness crossed Shen Ye's eyes.
That was not all.
Aside from Yun Ni, the Saint Venerable of the Supreme Dao Palace and the Saint Venerable's Heart Demon still lurked in the shadows.
Monsters, a Saint Venerable, a Heart Demon.
He could not deal with any one of them.
Even Xiatelai had only escaped such a trap by giving it her all.
Who would have thought he would step right into it himself?
The universe...
It really is far too treacherous.
"Come on, tell me your fate setting, just as I set up Penglai Immortal Mountain-"
A trace of excitement actually entered Yun Ni's voice as she continued:
"Watch me break your Heart Demon, then kill you with ease!"
Yes.
With the Demon Abyss empowering her now, she could easily kill him outright.
Yet she wanted to make a wager with him-
On closer observation, those monsters were destroying the entire planet and slaughtering every cultivator, yet not one of them attacked him.
The Saint Venerable had not come either.
Did monsters observe dueling etiquette too, clearing the way for Yun Ni?
How fake.
Shen Ye took a deep breath, pressed his hand against the void, and shouted:
"Heaven-Piercing Art!"
Before his words had faded.
The monsters filling heaven and earth suddenly stopped slaughtering living beings.
