"Sect Leader, save us!"
"What we said earlier was just to confuse these lower realm natives, Brother, donāt take it seriously. Weāve already seen through this Martial Realmās essence. Apart from this so-called Realm Lord, the rest are nothing but weaklings!"
They were terrified, cursing inwardly.
Why come now, of all times? Itās nothing but sheer madness.
The two were on the verge of tears.
But the beings of the Martial Realm were in no mood to appreciate the duoās changing expressions. The terrifying aura within that blood-colored beam made them feel immense pressure, especially with those leading ten figures, exuding unparalleled power.
They recalled the earlier words of Black Flame True Monarch and the other.
There are ten more in the Primordial Spirit Realm in the Black Demon Sect.
Black Demon True Monarch glanced at Black Flame True Monarch and his companion with a seemingly mocking smile, then looked at Ning Qi with eyes full of greed, casually saying:
"Daring to cause trouble in the Black Demon Sect means youāre prepared to pay the price."
"I told you, we will meet again soon."
Although Ning Qi no longer appeared as the Hundred-armed Giant, he instantly recognized the presence of the Martial Realmās awakened consciousness.
Ning Qi calmly watched, a faint smile appeared on his lips:
"I didnāt expect youād be so impatient."
This was the truth.
Originally, he thought that after he took the Heaven-Reaching Mirror, the Black Demon Sect would exhaust their resources to construct a world passage to come here, and it would take some time. Yet, he hadnāt anticipated their arrival so soon. He didnāt realize that Black Demon True Monarch, fearing dreams would linger if not acted upon, had refrained from preparing resources and instead used sect disciples for a blood sacrifice.
Clearly.
The timing merely surprised Ning Qi.
When he had deliberately left behind traces of the world before, he had envisioned various possibilities, preparing for the worst-case scenario of facing a Void Path Realm powerhouse. Seeing only the Black Demon Sect, without other sects, was already one of the better outcomes he had expected.
He underestimated Black Demon True Monarchās greed.
Or rather, he underestimated the Spirit Realm cultivatorsā desire and persistence for opportunities.
Since the Age of Striving for Immortality in the Spirit Realm began, countless Spirit Realms have followed the path of āstrivingā, on the road to immortality, without striving, there is only death.
Black Demon True Monarchās gaze sharpened:
"You knew we would come long ago?"
Then he realized, his eyes filled with a dangerous light.
"So, you left a flaw on purpose?"
Ning Qi remained silent.
When the spatial formation emerged, there was a slight lingering gap. He used it to sense the many imprints he left in the Black Demon Sect and discovered that some had disappeared, integrated into this grand formation, while others remained in their original position.
He roughly understood what had happened, his gaze toward Black Demon True Monarch was a bit peculiar.
This guy is ruthless.
However, itās useless.
Ning Qiās white robe fluttered without wind.
The remaining Black Demon Sect cultivators in the Flying Bird Sea Region disintegrated into countless fragments. Black Flame True Monarch and the other were also pulled into a void rift by an invisible force, their destination unknown.
Only Ning Qi knew they were sent to his Inner World.
In fact, even if Black Demon True Monarch hadnāt come, Ning Qi hadnāt intended to accept the allegiance of the two. Merely two Primordial Spirit Realm cultivatorsāhaving more or fewer made no difference. Compared to having two obedient Primordial Spirit Realm servants, Ning Qi felt it was better to use their cultivation to enrich the Martial Realm.
Black Demon True Monarchās pupils contracted continually, and he suddenly sneered:
"Very good!"
"Today, letās see whose methods are superior!"
Now knowing that this was all part of Ning Qiās plan, he no longer underestimated him.
Yet.
He couldnāt be easily intimidated. The only solution now was to fight.
He had treaded the Immortal Path for more than ten thousand years, experienced countless battles, and had faced many massive challenges, so he wasnāt someone to be easily daunted.
When he was transported here, Black Demon True Monarch had also been observing the surroundings.
He quickly grasped the crucial points.
The first was the sky filled with Starlight.
The second was Ning Qi.
Besides these two, the rest of the natives were not worth fearing.
Upon realizing this.
He let out a sneer, and a sinister demonic Qi gathered. A massive black skeleton emerged, with imposing power overpowering many strong beings of the Martial Realm. He noticed that this Martial Realm Lord, who had developed consciousness, seemed to care deeply for those ordinary natives.
This was a flaw.
The black demonic skull, like a giant mountain, roiled with demonic clouds eroding the void. Even the Star Profound Light couldnāt penetrate it. The beings of the Martial Realm were all astonished, witnessing the suppression of the Star Profound Light for the first time.
The targeted Martial Realm strong beings felt immense pressure, as if the sky was collapsing.
Clearly, Black Demon True Monarch could exhibit Primordial Spirit Realm-level combat power. Though not at his peak, he was still extremely formidable.
Ning Qiās gaze sharpened.
He formed a sword technique seal with his hands, and the surging Realm Power condensed. A five-color giant sword slashed forth from the void, amplified by the worldās origin, its power extremely terrifying. This evolved from the Five Elements Divine Sword Qi created by Ning Qi, known as the Great Five Elements Sword Qi, a powerful Divine Technique, even showing signs of transcendence.
After reaching the Realm Lord Realm, Ning Qi was no longer confined to Martial Arts or Divine Techniques. Divine Techniques were merely carriers; the true strength lay in comprehending the origin of power.
To go further is to touch the Power of Rules.
This has some similarities with the Immortal Path.
At this moment.
The Five-Colored Sword Qi surged in the wind, quickly transforming into a Heaven-Reaching form. The giant sword slashed fiercely, dividing the black demonic skull into two. The Sword Qiās edge was unmatched, obliterating the terrifying demonic Qi. Once again, the Starlight descended from the sky, and the beings of the Martial Realm cheered.
But in the next moment.
Black Demon True Monarch sneered, crossing layers of space to appear before Ning Qi.
Several Primordial Spirit Realm Elders simultaneously stepped forth, surrounding Ning Qi from all sides, forming a sphere with him at the center. The black demonic skull was only meant to divert Ning Qiās attention.
As for now.
The ten Primordial Spirit Realm figures sneered, rolling demonic Qi transformed into chains, sealing the heavens and the earth. Chains emerged from the void, crisscrossing, gathering immense power atop them.
"Ten Directions Senluo Demon Array!"
This array was Black Demon True Monarchās greatest trump card. Previously knowing that the Hundred-armed Giant possessed Primordial Spirit Realm-level combat power, and not weak, he certainly wouldnāt recklessly charge in alone. After all, aside from him, the other nine Primordial Spirit Realms could only maintain close-to Primordial Spirit Realm combat power.
A slight deviation leads to a vast difference.
No matter how close, itās still far from a true Primordial Spirit Realm.
Entering a minor world with this state naturally carried great risks.
But with the Ten Directions Senluo Demon Array, it was different.
This array is the Black Demon Sectās most formidable trump card, rooted in the void, allowing access to power from outside the world. Not only does it have a sealing power, but it also enhances the prowess of the main conductor.
At this moment.
Nine Primordial Spirit Realm Elders all broke through their shackles, capable of exerting Primordial Spirit Realm-level combat power. Black Demon True Monarch stepped even further, unlocking even stronger capabilities.
The ten powerful figures released immense aura unabashedly, the rolling demonic Qi surged skyward, like ten suns of demons. At this moment, even without penetrating the sky canopy, the beings of the Martial Realm could see the terrifying aura expanding from the direction of the Flying Bird Sea Region.
Heaven turned menacing as the Martial Realm trembled.
The skies shimmered with pressure, and the earth quaked underfoot.
It was clear that the void itself couldnāt bear such overwhelming aura, causing the beings of the Martial Realm to quake in fear.
Black Demon True Monarch let out a ferocious laugh:
"Black Demon Sect warriors, ready yourselves!"
He intended for Ning Qiās people to be slaughtered before his eyes, to have his people suffer a bloodbath.
All the Black Demon Sect cultivators had eyes filled with wrath and had already been bottling up their anger.
Now.
The strong of the Martial Realm became their perfect channel for venting.
