Yuehua Came Back to Life
Hearing Xiaotong's words, Zhengjiao asked in confusion:
"Mustard seed beads? What are those?"
A look of reminiscence appeared in Xiao Tong's pupils:
"That was a special spiritual treasure that our master obtained from beyond the realm. It has its own internal space and is quite a remarkable spiritual treasure. Let's go and take a look."
Zhengjiao wanted to ask something more, but Xiaotong didn't give him the chance.
A flash of black light appeared, and the cunning creature vanished from its spot in an instant.
When he reappeared, he was in another starry sky.
Not far in front of him, a golden bead was rapidly approaching. If he hadn't happened to appear in the golden bead's path, he probably wouldn't have noticed it.
The golden bead clearly noticed someone blocking its way and immediately stopped.
A moment later, the golden bead lit up.
Li Songxuan and six other half-step Dao Integration Realm cultivators appeared in the arena.
Yuan Qingzi glanced at the cunning beast with his Divine Sense and immediately showed a disdainful expression:
"Fellow Daoist Li, it's just a mere Void Refinement level Demon Beast. Why make us all come out? I can handle it alone!"
Several other half-step Dao cultivators nearby were also somewhat puzzled.
When Li Songxuan suddenly summoned them out, they all initially thought they had encountered some formidable enemy. However, upon coming out, they discovered that it was merely a Demon Beast at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm blocking their path.
Li Songxuan remained silent, his eyes fixed on Xiao Tong on the back of the monstrous beast.
Zhengjiao was immediately displeased when he saw someone looking down on him.
"What are you saying, you old fool? Do you even know who I am?!"
Yuan Qingzi was taken aback, clearly not expecting a Demon Beast at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm to dare speak to him like that.
"I've truly seen something new today. A mere early-stage Void Refinement Demon Beast can be this arrogant!" With that, Yuan Qingzi prepared to make his move.
But at that moment, Li Songxuan grabbed him.
Li Songxuan looked at Xiaotong on the back of the monstrous beast and bowed.
"Greetings, Martial Uncle Tong!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qingzi and the others were stunned, and Zheng Jiao also showed a look of surprise.
Li Songxuan's use of the term "uncle-master" truly made the atmosphere in the room become strange.
Xiao Tong then floated up from the back of the cunning beast, her dark pupils staring straight at Li Songxuan:
"Uncle-Master? Do you really consider me your uncle-master?"
Li Songxuan's expression froze, then he bowed again:
"Uncle-Master, you jest. After Master's accident, I've been sending people to search for you, but after all these years, we haven't found anything."
Upon hearing Li Songxuan's words, Yuan Qingzi and the others immediately realized what was happening and began to use their Divine Sense to examine Xiao Tong.
However, their Divine Sense vanished without a trace the moment they approached Xiaotong.
"A being that has attained the Dao." Yuan Qingzi's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
The others also looked shocked.
There are only a handful of Dao Integration Realm cultivators in the entire Nine Star Domains, and now they've actually encountered one here.
Xiao Tong ignored the reactions of Yuan Qingzi and the others, and instead said to Li Songxuan:
"You want to know about the master's whereabouts, right?"
Cold sweat was already beading on Li Songxuan's forehead, and a bad feeling was beginning to creep into his mind.
He naturally recognized the spirit pets of his own Weiyang Heaven.
Now that the other party is here, doesn't that mean that Wei Yangtian is not dead?
Did Wei Yangtian already know that he had revealed his whereabouts back then?
In that instant, a multitude of thoughts flashed through Li Songxuan's mind.
But before this thought could last long, Li Songxuan suddenly felt his body stiffen, and he saw that the surroundings were filled with a black energy.
A gasp of surprise rang out from the side:
"Dark Principle, the Power of Dao Fruits!"
At this moment, fear arose in the hearts of the people present. When they were enveloped by this black energy, they could not mobilize their Dao Seeds and Primordial Spirit in the slightest.
This is an absolute form of suppression.
When facing beings below the Dao Integration level, cultivators at the Dao Integration level don't need any fancy tricks; they only need to use the power of their Dao Fruits to suppress everything.
The Dao Fruit is the manifestation of the perfected Principle.
The power of the Dao Seed, possessed by people like Li Songxuan, is like a child facing an adult in the face of the Dao Fruit.
As a being from another realm, Xiaotong was born with mastery of the Principle of darkness.
He doesn't need to comprehend the Principle like human cultivators; as he grows over time, his Principle will automatically transform into Dao fruits.
Li Songxuan quickly spoke up:
"Uncle-Master, why are you doing this!"
Xiao Tong's cold snort rang out, "Don't think I don't know what you've been doing. Back then, you were the one who leaked Master's whereabouts to those old monsters, weren't you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Songxuan immediately understood that what he had done back then had been discovered.
This extinguished even the last shred of hope in his heart.
Li Songxuan gritted his teeth and shouted, "Devil Master Lord, save me!"
Li Songxuan called out "Lord Devil Master Lord" extremely loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of demonic energy suddenly erupted from his body.
The demonic energy immediately spread outwards, and the surrounding black energy receded rapidly like a tide the moment it came into contact with it.
Seeing the black energy forced back, Li Songxuan, Yuan Qingzi, and the others all breathed a long sigh of relief.
The oppressive feeling from beings who have attained the Dao is simply too strong.
Faced with such a powerful figure, they had no ability to resist.
At that moment, a shadow made of demonic energy appeared in front of Li Songxuan and the others. This shadow was tall and had a pair of scarlet eyes.
Upon seeing this demonic figure, Li Songxuan and the others immediately bowed in respect.
"Greetings, Lord Devil Master Lord!"
Li Songxuan dared to cause trouble for the Xingfeng Sect because he had a trump card: he possessed an avatar of an extraterrestrial demon.
This clone possesses 70% of the strength of an extraterrestrial demon and was specifically designed to deal with Chen Feng.
The extraterrestrial demon glanced around and asked in a cold voice:
Where is Chen Beijing?
Upon hearing this, Li Songxuan quickly explained, "Devil Master Lord, we are on our way to the Underworld Continent."
Li Songxuan knew that the extraterrestrial demon's clone had been summoned before he even saw Chen Beijing.
This will likely displease the other party.
But he had no other choice; if he didn't shout it out, they would probably all be instantly killed by Xiaotong.
In the distance, Zhengjiao swallowed hard after seeing the appearance of the extraterrestrial demon's avatar.
He felt a chill run down his spine from the shadowy figure.
"Can you handle this?" Zhengjiao asked Xiaotong.
Xiao Tong said in a low voice, "We can't beat them!"
"Huh? You can't beat him? Is his cultivation level higher than yours?" Zheng Jiao panicked a little.
His confidence came from Xiaotong; if Xiaotong couldn't win, they would be finished today.
Xiao Tong said in a deep voice:
"His demonic energy can suppress my Dao Fruit, which is very strange. I'll hold him off for a while, and you quickly notify someone to come and provide support."
Xiao Tong was well aware of his own strength. He could bully those below the Dao Integration level, but he was naturally no match for a terrifying being like the Extraterrestrial Demon.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Jiao no longer hesitated and immediately took out his communicator to make contact.
At this moment, the extraterrestrial demon also learned the general situation from Li Songxuan. He then looked at Xiaotong and showed a look of surprise:
"It's actually a creature from the Dark Realm. It's truly rare to encounter one in this era."
"You know about the Dark Realm?" Xiao Tong was clearly surprised.
The extraterrestrial demon sneered:
"My Heavenly Demon Clan is scattered throughout the universe and starry sky. How could we not know about the Dark Realm? If I were in my prime, even your Dark Realm Lord would have to bow down and submit before me."
"Bullshit! Someone like you dares to look down on the Lord of the Dark Realm!" Xiao Tong was clearly furious.
His size increased countless times in an instant.
From an eyeball that was originally only the size of a palm, it was transformed in the blink of an eye into a giant eyeball with a diameter of 10,000 meters.
A beam of black light shot out from his pupils in an instant.
Wherever the black light passed, all Principle and rules became chaotic under its influence.
The demonic clone remained completely unfazed, simply using its demonic energy to condense a colossal palm that reached the sky, and slammed it head-on towards the black light!
The moment the two collided, the entire starry sky became illusory.
If Li Songxuan and Zheng Jiao hadn't moved away from the battle area immediately, the aftershocks of that attack alone would have severely injured them.
Thousands of miles away, Li Songxuan was gazing at the distant, illusory starry sky, his expression extremely solemn.
At this moment, they could no longer see what was happening inside the illusory starry sky.
The rules and Principle of that area were in chaos, and even Divine Sense could not perceive them.
"Fellow Daoist Li, what is the origin of this eyeball?" Yuan Qingzi asked, still shaken.
If Li Songxuan hadn't been able to summon an extraterrestrial demon avatar, they would have all perished just now. No wonder Yuan Qingzi lost his composure.
Li Songxuan said with a grim expression:
"That was my master's spirit pet. It was a being at the Dao Integration level back then. I never expected it to appear here."
Although the extraterrestrial demon avatar had descended, Li Songxuan was not entirely at ease.
If Xiao Tong is here, then where is Weiyang Heaven?
He knew Wei Yangtian's strength; it took so many powerful figures surrounding him to finally kill him back then.
If the opponent is still alive, a single extraterrestrial demon avatar cannot solve the problem.
"What? He's Senior Weiyangtian's spirit pet? Could it be that Senior Weiyangtian is still alive?" Yuan Qingzi's eyes widened.
The others all had similar expressions.
The name Weiyangtian is truly resounding; it was once a powerful force that dominated the nine star regions.
Li Songxuan shook his head. "I don't know if she's still alive, Fellow Daoist Cang. Just in case, we should contact your ancestor as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, the elder of the Sea Fork Clan standing nearby immediately showed a look of hesitation.
Li Songxuan emphasized as he said:
"Fellow Daoist Cang, if this matter involves Weiyang Heaven, then it will be a different story. If you don't contact them now, your noble ancestor will definitely pursue the matter later!"
He knew some of the details from back then; two of the Sea Chariot Clan's ancestors were among those who attacked Weiyang Heaven.
The elder of the Sea Fork tribe nodded. "Alright, I'll contact them now."
Yuan Qingzi and the others exchanged glances. They could clearly see that Li Songxuan didn't seem to have a good relationship with Wei Yangtian.
Otherwise, why would they be so nervous? But now is clearly not the time to ask these questions.
While the group was talking, the battle in the distant starry sky also took a turn.
The illusory starry sky gradually began to solidify again, but countless spots of light appeared in that area of the starry sky.
These white spots of light are manifestations of the Realm of Emptiness.
The extraterrestrial demon and Xiao Tong reappeared in everyone's sight.
The extraterrestrial demon remained brimming with demonic energy, unaffected in the slightest by the surrounding light spots.
In contrast, Xiao Tong was different; his pupils were now covered with cracks.
Streaks of demonic energy were seeping into these cracks, corroding them; they were clearly already damaged.
The extraterrestrial demon looked at Xiaotong and said sarcastically:
"As expected, creatures from the Dark Realm are no different from trash once they leave!"
Seeing that the extraterrestrial demon had defeated Xiaotong so quickly, Li Songxuan and the others were overjoyed.
The group had initially worried that the extraterrestrial demon, being merely an avatar, would struggle to unleash its full power, but it now appeared they had been overthinking it.
Xiao Tong didn't answer the extraterrestrial demon's question, but instead looked at the cunning monster in the distance. "Have you made contact yet?"
Zhengjiao, who was some distance away, quickly said, "I've already notified them!"
The extraterrestrial demon sneered, "What? Are you about to call for reinforcements?"
Xiao Tong said angrily, "You only dare to be arrogant in front of me. Wait until my master comes, then you'll be begging for mercy!"
For so many years, apart from that one time he was ambushed outside the boundary, he had never been injured.
In the past, when he was with Yin Yin, he was just a nobody, and no one dared to do anything to him.
Now that he's been severely injured, he's naturally furious.
The extraterrestrial demon's expression immediately turned cold. "You're courting death!"
After saying that, the demonic energy on the extraterrestrial demon surged again, and this demonic energy quickly transformed into a huge mouth that swallowed Xiao Tong.
Xiao Tong's eyes narrowed; he was ready to use his trump card in a desperate attempt.
But at that moment, a dazzling sword light suddenly shone in the starry sky.
The next second, the giant mouth formed by demonic energy was cleaved in two by the sword light and then dissipated into the starry sky.
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone present.
All eyes were drawn to one person.
Suddenly, a woman appeared standing in front of Xiaotong.
The woman was stunningly beautiful, and her moon-white dress stood out brilliantly against the dark starry sky.
The woman also held a transparent longsword in her right hand.
The woman holding the long sword exuded an aura of unparalleled beauty simply by standing there.
Li Songxuan and his companions were stunned when they saw the woman.
This woman was simply too beautiful, especially her aloof and refined demeanor, which transcended the mundane.
Even with their composure, they couldn't help but be somewhat taken aback.
The woman seemed to notice Li Songxuan and the others' gazes. She frowned slightly and raised her hand to slash out with her sword!
Sizzle!
The starry sky in front of the woman was instantly split in two.
Before Li Songxuan, Yuan Qingzi, and the others could react, invisible Sword Qi swept across them.
Five of the six people instantly vanished into nothingness in the starry sky, leaving not even their Primordial Spirit behind.
Only Li Songxuan remained standing in the same spot, but his physical body was gone, leaving only a nearly transparent Primordial Spirit in the arena.
Before Li Songxuan, a white talisman turned to ash and vanished.
Clearly, it was this talisman that blocked the fatal sword strike.
At this moment, Li Songxuan was filled with horror, and he immediately ran to the side of the extraterrestrial demon.
That sword strike was truly terrifying. If it weren't for the substitute talisman he had on him, he would have been wiped out like everyone else.
He obtained this substitute death talisman from the Heavenly cave abode, along with the Mustard Seed Pearl.
After being refined, this item can take someone's place in death once, making it his biggest trump card.
He never expected it would be used here.
Li Songxuan glared at the extraterrestrial demon with venomous eyes. If the extraterrestrial demon had just intervened to stop him, he wouldn't have needed to use such a trump card.
The extraterrestrial demons had no time to pay attention to Li Songxuan's expression.
He was completely bewildered, his demonic energy churning around him.
"Yuehua! How could you still be alive!"
The voice of the extraterrestrial demon trembled in the arena, even carrying a hint of fear.
