Chapter 18
Qiyao Realm King, Zhao Yi, Invincible
“How is this possible?” The Tribunal Elder staggered backward and looked at Zhao Yi in disbelief. Although he was not as powerful as the Holy Lord, he was still an expert in level five of the Liuhe Realm. He was unrivaled in the entire Taiyi Holy Land.
In his opinion, Zhao Yi was only on level nine of the Wuxing Realm. Although he had injured the Holy Lord, it must have been a sneak attack.
But now, in a head-on battle, he had been injured by Zhao Yi.
This clearly proved that Zhao Yi’s strength was even stronger than his.
Zhao Yi stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at the Supreme Elder of the Tribunal Palace with eyes full of ridicule and said, “You’re only at level five of the Liuhe Realm. You’re not even as strong as Lu Xuan, and you dare to attack me? How ridiculous.”
The Taiyi Holy Lord’s name was Lu Xuan.
The other Supreme Elders all looked at Zhao Yi in shock. He had defeated the Supreme Elder of the Tribunal Council in a single move, and his words clearly showed that he didn’t think much of the Taiyi Holy Lord. Didn’t this mean that his strength was far from level nine of the Wuxing Realm?
Lu Xuan, the Holy Lord, took a deep breath and used his cultivation to temporarily suppress the demonic flame palm print on his chest. He looked at Zhao Yi and said with a pained expression, “Zhao Yi, why did you betray the Taiyi Holy Land?”
“Betray the Taiyi Holy Land?” Zhao Yi sneered. At this moment, his entire body was emitting a huge amount of demonic energy, making him look very demonic.
He sneered and said, “I’m the Holy Son of the Taiyi Holy Land. How would I betray the Taiyi Holy Land? I simply can’t stand the decline of the Taiyi Holy Land, so I plan to clean it up and lead it back to its peak. It’s just that if I lead it under normal circumstances, the return to glory is too slow. It’s a complete waste of time. That’s why I’m planning to turn the Taiyi Holy Land into a Demonic Holy Land. I’ll unseal the demonic palace that the founding master had sealed and wake the slumbering demonic Sage. As long as the demonic Sage comes to, the Holy Land of Taiyi will become a Demonic Holy Land in a very short time. At that time, no one in the entire Southern Desolate Lands, or even the entire Canglan Continent, will be a match for the Holy Land of Taiyi! The Holy Land of Taiyi will finally rule the world!”
Everyone’s expression changed.
“The demonic Sage!?” The Supreme Elder of the Tribunal Palace said hurriedly, “Zhao Yi, you can’t do that. That’s not a demonic Sage, but a Sage of the ten thousand ancient races, a true Demon King. In the primordial era, the ten thousand ancient races fed on humans and harmed them, causing countless lives to be lost. Once the Demon King is released, no one in the entire Taiyi Holy Land will be able to stop him. Everyone here will even be completely reduced to the food of the Sage-level Demon King of the ancient race, and no one in the entire Southern Desolate Lands will be able to stop him! The Taiyi Holy Land’s reputation will be ruined if we release the Demon King!”
“Elders, you’re thinking too much. It won’t be like this,” Zhao Yi said.
The Taiyi Holy Lord coughed out a mouthful of blood and said, “Zhao Yi, you’ve been demonized and demonic thoughts has been born within you. You’re a good child with a bright future. You shouldn’t demonize!”
“No, no, no, you’re wrong. I didn’t go mad, nor did I give birth to demonic thoughts. I let the demonic thoughts enter my body,” Zhao Yi sneered. When these words came out of his mouth, it made everyone’s expression change.
They finally understood that Zhao Yi must have been affected by the demonic thoughts of the Demon King that the Sage ancestors had brought back in the past.
The Demon King must have awakened by now. It was just that he was sealed in the Taiyi Holy Land by the Sage ancestor and could not break out of the seal. However, there must be a loophole in the seal. Otherwise, Zhao Yi would not have been affected by the Demon King’s demonic thoughts, and he would not have been demonized.
The Taiyi Holy Lord’s expression changed slightly, but he still hoped that Zhao Yi would return to the right path, “Zhao Yi, put down your demonic thoughts and return to the right path. Since ancient times, evil has never been able to win against good. If you become a demon, you will be the enemy of the world!”
“Hahaha, if the world is my enemy, I will slaughter the entire world!” Zhao Yi laughed heartily, his entire person filled with demonic nature.
He then looked at them and said, “Cut the crap! I’m going to kill all of you right now! Then, I’ll start the sacrificial ritual and unseal the Demon King of the ancient race!”
Boom!
Demonic energy filled the sky!
Zhao Yi’s body rippled with endless dark demonic energy, which swept toward the people of the Taiyi Holy Land.
Everyone’s expression changed, “This is the aura at the Qiyao Realm!”
“Oh no, this evil spawn has actually reached the Qiyao Realm. It must be the power that the Demon King gave him!”
“It’s said that the ancient Sages could cut down mountains and rivers with a single strand of hair. It’s indeed shocking!”
Having said that, everyone still made their moves at the first moment and struck out one after another, crazily colliding with the monstrous demonic energy.
Whoosh—
The monstrous demonic energy was torn apart, and one divine technique after another hit Zhao Yi’s body.
However, Zhao Yi’s body simply trembled, and an even more terrifying demonic energy soared into the sky, annihilating all of these divine techniques. In the next instant, he charged over.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In just a few moments, all the Supreme Elders were sent flying and smashed into the palace walls. Blood was spurting out of their mouths as they couldn’t take it anymore.
Even the Holy Lord was sent flying with injuries.
All of the top experts of the Taiyi Holy Land were sent flying with just one move. They were no match for the enemy.
The might of a Qiyao Realm King was fully displayed!
“In my mission to change the Taiyi Holy Land, I’ll start with you, Holy Lord!” Zhao Yi sneered as he looked at the Taiyi Holy Lord and walked forward. The demonic energy on his body became even more terrifying, and it covered Heaven and Earth as if it was going to drown him.
Kacha!
At this moment, a brilliant purple light suddenly bloomed!
Ling Ran appeared. She descended from the sky and landed in front of Zhao Yi in an instant, blocking his attack.
Seeing Ling Ran, Zhao Yi sneered, “Ling Ran, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
There was a sharp sword in Ling Ran’s hand, and it released rays of purple light that turned into layers of clear light circles to protect the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others. She said coldly,”Zhao Yi, put down your blade and return to the right path. If you do that, you’re still the Holy Son of the Taiyi Holy Land.”
“The Holy Son?” Zhao Yi said coldly, “I don’t care about that position anymore. Today, I’ll kill all of you, and the Holy Lord’s position will be mine. So, I’ll have to trouble all of you to die!”
The demonic energy was vast and mighty as Zhao Yi rushed over.
Ling Ran held the sharp sword in her hand, and her body released rays of deep purple light. Her Zixia Body communicated with Heaven and Earth, and an amazing aura spread out from her. She was actually at level four of the Liuhe Realm!
It had to be said that her cultivation speed could be said to be advancing a thousand miles a day. After all, she had only entered the Liuhe Realm five years ago, which meant she had advanced a level every year.
One had to know that at the later stages of cultivation, every step forward would require more time and effort than before to achieve.
Even The Taiyi Holy Lord and the Supreme Elders in the Liuhe Realm took hundreds of years to reach thier realms. Yet, Ling Ran had only spent five years to reach level four of the Liuhe Realm. As expected of someone with the legendary Zixia Body and the orthodoxy of the Zixia Empress. She was indeed extraordinary!
No wonder the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others thought so highly of her and believed that she could become a Qiyao Realm King within a hundred years.
“It’s no use. I’ve already advanced to the Qiyao Realm. You’re too weak!” Zhao Yi sneered and released a palm attack, easily blocking Ling Ran’s attack. At the same time, he waved his sleeve, and terrifying demonic energy surged out and sent Ling Ran flying. Her delicate body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, and she fell to the side.
“Ling Ran, you’re indeed extraordinary. If you were also a Qiyao Realm King, it would’ve been difficult for me to defeat you. It’s a pity that you’re not one yet,” Zhao Yi said indifferently.
