At this very moment.
On the horizon, an elderly man dressed in a simple gray robe and with a hunched back walked through the air.
He appeared to be on his deathbed, but the occasional glint of light in his half-open eyes was like thunder that split the heavens and the earth. Although he tried his best to restrain his aura, it still made the space around him tremble slightly.
It was the Supreme Elder Taishang Daoist Tianshu, one of the foundations of the Divine Profound Sect, a giant in the Mid-Stage Body Integration Realm.
" Nine Heavens Thunder Summoning!"
The Daoist Tianshu pointed his fingers toward the sky, and in an instant, the heavens and earth roared, as if thunderclouds were gathering above the nine heavens.
A terrifying bolt of divine lightning, several meters thick and wreathed in countless destructive forces, ignored everything and fiercely struck the imposing, demonic figure in the sky.
At the same time, Xuanweizi also made his move. His purple-gold Daoist Law Treasure fluttered without wind, and an ancient jade ruler magic weapon flew out from his sleeve. As the jade ruler left his hand, it transformed into a pillar supporting the sky, drawing upon the power of the sect's protective formation, and flew away with the terrifying power to suppress mountains and rivers.
Other Void Return experts also unleashed their strongest Law Treasure treasures and divine Divine Ability, and their multicolored attacks surged towards the trapped remnant soul of the Heavenly Devil Demon like a torrent.
"Roar--!!!"
The remnant soul of the Heavenly Devil let out a furious and painful roar.
Clearly, the attacks of this Body Integration Realm are different; they have already caused considerable damage to it with a single strike.
Thunder Law Technique inherently possesses the power to exorcise evil spirits and suppress demons, making it naturally effective against this type of Devil Race.
However, the Heavenly Devil was no pushover either. Although this Thunder Method was quite powerful, it could not cause him fatal damage.
Han Xuanji stood atop a mountain, gazing at the horizon, his Divine Sense traversing vast distances to lock onto the battlefield.
At this moment, more and more experts from the Divine Profound Sect joined the battle. Dozens of Void Return cultivators plus two Body Integration Cultivator besieged the remnant soul of the Heavenly Devil Demon. The scene was incredibly spectacular and earth-shattering. If it weren't for the sect's protective formation, the entire Divine Profound Sect would have suffered countless losses due to the aftershocks.
Han Xuanji began to watch the great battle unfold; such a scene was a rare sight even in the cultivation Immortal Realm, perhaps only once every thousand years.
The Heavenly Devil is indeed powerful, far surpassing ordinary Body Integration Realm. This is only a remnant soul, suppressed for countless years, yet it still possesses such strength.
Even Han Xuanji could hardly imagine his strength at his peak.
In the distance, countless disciples of the Divine Profound Sect witnessed this scene, their hearts pounding with fear.
Zhou Li, a newly ascended cultivator, was utterly astonished.
He wondered, were battles in the upper realm really that frequent?
He now regretted breaking through so early; he should have stayed in the lower realm a little longer.
Shortly after the battle began, almost all members of the Divine Profound Sect were still injured, though the extent of their injuries varied. Some Spirit Transformation cultivators had even had their physical bodies shattered, leaving only their Primordial Spirit to oversee the battle.
The remnant soul of the Heavenly Devil Demon became increasingly solid, transforming into a long-haired man who wielded a spear forged from demonic energy with ease.
Han Xuanji felt that this guy hadn't used his full strength; it seemed he was using this opportunity to recover his power.
Whenever someone is injured, he becomes stronger, and the demonic energy in the world involuntarily gathers around him, becoming his nourishment.
The situation reached a stalemate. The demonic power remained overwhelming, and the two Body Integration Cultivator from the Divine Profound Sect had exhausted too much of their energy by unleashing various Divine Ability.
"Too weak. I didn't expect the Divine Profound Sect to be so weak after all these years."
The Heavenly Devil's voice was icy, his words carrying a murderous intent, a far cry from his previous mockery and contempt.
The cultivators of the Divine Profound Sect remained unmoved and continued their attack, determined to kill it.
"Snort!"
The Heavenly Devil snorted coldly and suddenly hurled his spear forward with force, unleashing a terrifying burst of demonic energy, as if a black ink had been splashed onto a painting of heaven and earth.
The overwhelming force caused the group's formation to break apart.
In an instant.
Xuanweizi was instantly terrified. The demonic energy attack passed through everyone and struck his brow. The shadow of death loomed over him, but he had no way to dodge it.
In an instant, Daoist Tianshu reacted swiftly, stepping forward to block the fatal blow.
" Taishang Elder!"
With a loud bang!
A surge of energy erupted, and a gigantic, lightning-shield-like phantom appeared before Daoist Tianshu, perfectly blocking the Heavenly Devil's attack.
At this moment, Daoist Tianshu also frowned, clearly the strength of this Heavenly Devil exceeded his expectations.
This can't go on.
After all, it's a fight within a sect, so the sect is the one that suffers the loss.
To resolve this quickly, the only option is to utilize the sect's most prized Law Artifact.
After pondering for a moment, Daoist Tianshu quickly made a decision.
"Pity."
The Heavenly Devil smiled wickedly:
"But could you help cover for a few hits?"
Under the raging demonic energy, the Heavenly Devil, like an invincible Devil God, looked down upon everything.
"Is there no one in the sect who can stop us?"
Lu Fan frowned, his feelings complicated:
"Demon Lord, can you make a move?"
Upon hearing this, the Demon Lord said irritably:
"In my prime, a mere Heavenly Devil is nothing to fear, but look at me now, how much strength do I still possess?"
"However, I can still spare your life."
The Demon Lord's response made Lu Fan sigh.
In fact, he didn't have high expectations.
However, with such a great calamity befalling the sect, he, as True Disciple of the sect, could only watch helplessly, which was extremely painful.
Buzz!
suddenly.
The Heavenly Devil seemed to have noticed something. Gazing at the horizon, he felt a sense of fear, which made him dare not continue his attack.
Han Xuanji, on the other hand, quietly sent out a probe.
[ Heavenly Devil (Remnant): Originally an ordinary Heavenly Devil from the Heavenly Devil Realm, he accidentally came into contact with a spatial passage and arrived in the Great Void Spirit Realm, causing a demonic tide. He now only has the strength of the Seventh Layer of the Body Integration Realm, but due to the Undying of Heavenly Devil, he is extremely terrifying.]
"Seventh level of the Body Integration?"
Han Xuanji muttered to himself.
It's not that great.
"Who?"
The Heavenly Devil Demon felt a sudden chill run down his spine.
Han Xuanji no longer concealed his aura; he quickly locked onto his target and shouted in Han Xuanji's direction:
"Get out here!"
The great cultivators of the Divine Profound Sect all looked in Han Xuanji's direction, their expressions shifting.
"Could it be that one of our ancestors has returned?"
The once-boiling battlefield suddenly fell silent, as if plunged into absolute zero.
Everyone is waiting with anticipation.
"Playing tricks!"
The Heavenly Devil Demon roared, unleashing invisible demonic energy that surged into the void, accompanied by a terrifying pressure and a fierce gale.
This caused all the cultivators of the Divine Profound Sect to retreat continuously, as if the end of the world had arrived.
This attack was more serious and more terrifying than before.
Even the aftershocks of the terrifying demonic energy caused countless people's skin to fester.
Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared as if emerging from nothingness, without any earth-shattering aura or dazzling brilliance.
Han Xuanji simply pointed his fingers together like a sword, a wisp of Devil-Suppressing Sword Intent, refined to its extreme and radiating a brilliant purifying True Intention, around his fingertips, and gently touched it.
The demonic energy dissipated.
The next second.
"Town."
Han Xuanji uttered a single word.
A small, ancient-looking golden seal appeared in his palm— the Devil-Suppressing Seal!
The golden seal grew taller in the wind, instantly transforming into a majestic mountain. The two characters "Suppress Demons" at the bottom of the seal radiated a vast golden light that illuminated the heavens and cleansed the universe!
Wherever the golden light reached, it was like the blazing sun melting snow; the dark purple demonic energy instantly vanished upon touching the golden light.
"Roar--!!!"
The Heavenly Devil let out an unprecedented, shrill scream filled with endless fear and despair!
Its enormous and ferocious soul, under the golden light containing the True Intention of "suppressing demons," was like ice and snow exposed to the midday sun, twisting and melting wildly.
