Hearing the Blood Ancestor's words, the nine supreme powerhouses present understood.
Qiong had betrayed humanity.
At this moment, everyone's faces turned cold, their eyes filled with murderous intent.
Those who betray humanity shall be killed without mercy!
Concurrently, the demonic energy obscuring Yan Province gradually dissipated, revealing Li Xiaotian and the Demon Lord.
Upon seeing them, the expressions of everyone present changed.
"You really are not dead!" Qiong stared at the Demon Lord, his face filled with murderous intent.
"Demon Lord, have you also betrayed humanity?" the Tongtian Sword Master rebuked, his face filled with righteous indignation.
This was because Li Xiaotian and the Blood Ancestor's auras were identical, the latter being akin to a mere clone of the former.
At this moment, all their killing intent converged on the Demon Lord and Li Xiaotian.
"Heh heh, Li Xiaotian, come to this old ancestor quickly, this old ancestor will welcome you home." Only the Blood Ancestor smiled, his eyes filled with excitement. He knew that Li Xiaotian was a promising prospect.
Hearing the Blood Ancestor's words, the Tongtian Sword Master and the others instantly became murderous, almost unable to restrain themselves from attacking.
"Don't rush! What's the hurry? You nine who only know how to fight, can you use your brains a little?" the Demon Lord quickly said.
He feared that in the next moment, he and Li Xiaotian would be besieged.
"This seat was ambushed by this brat and almost annihilated. Don't you want to know why?" the Demon Lord said.
However, no one responded. After all, in ancient times, he was considered an anomaly, killing both enemies and humans.
However, he only killed those who provoked him; otherwise, he would have been eliminated by invincible powerhouses long ago.
Seeing that no one responded, the Demon Lord gave an awkward smile and continued.
"Indeed, nine fools. An invincible powerhouse is secretly hiding in our world, and no one is his match. During this ten-thousand-year slumber, he had ample time to kill all nine of you and dominate this world, yet he didn't. Why haven't you realized it yet?"
Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sword Master and the others paused, a thoughtful expression appearing on their faces.
That's right, Qiong was already an invincible powerhouse. Then why did he hide?
Why didn't he attack and kill them directly, and then join forces with the Blood Ancestor to destroy this world?
After all, they were all heavily injured at the time. If Qiong had ambushed them, none of them would have survived.
But in reality, they were all still alive.
"Heh heh, that's because of this seat!" the Demon Lord said, then looked at Qiong.
"Old man, you didn't expect this, did you? You didn't kill this seat, but instead, you were ambushed by this seat. Heh heh."
"Hmph! It's not too late now!" Qiong said with a cold face, his killing intent boiling.
"What exactly happened?" the Tongtian Sword Master asked.
"Heh heh, that's because this seat is incredibly intelligent and found a way to solve the predicament of our human race!" the Demon Lord said with pride. He pointed at Li Xiaotian and said.
"It's this kid, the Devouring Great Dao!"
Everyone's gaze turned to Li Xiaotian, their faces filled with confusion.
"Heh heh, you're all fools, aren't you? You don't understand?" the Demon Lord laughed.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say!" the Tongtian Sword Master snorted impatiently.
"What's the hurry? Your temper is still the same as before," the Demon Lord pouted and continued.
"Why did our human predecessors leave this world to fight? Isn't it because this Sea of Blood has taken root in our world? If we don't go out to fight, the enemy will break through from the Sea of Blood."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. Only the Blood Ancestor's expression turned ugly. Being called a puddle of urine was an insult to him.
Yes, the Sea of Blood was immortal and indestructible because it connected two worlds: this one, Earth, and the enemy's world.
The enemy could enter Earth through the Sea of Blood, but placing the battlefield on Earth was clearly not something the human powerhouses were willing to see.
Therefore, in ancient times, the human powerhouses killed or suppressed all the enemies who broke into Earth and then took the initiative to go out to meet the enemy.
They defended the enemy outside.
The reason the Tongtian Sword Master and the others stayed behind was that they were too heavily injured in ancient times and were not fit to participate in the battle, so they remained to guard the rear.
"But this seat has found a way to solve this puddle of urine, and that is to swallow this puddle of urine and seal the passage. This way, our world can attack and defend, and we will have the confidence to fight those guys for tens of thousands of years," the Demon Lord continued.
Hearing this, the Tongtian Sword Master and the others' eyes lit up, and they all looked at Li Xiaotian.
The Devouring Great Dao, Devour!
Why hadn't they thought of this before?
However, they soon understood that the Devouring Great Dao did not exist in ancient times.
Even if they knew this method, they could not devour the Sea of Blood.
"So you created the Demonic Dao and finally researched the Devouring Great Dao, and that's why Qiong ambushed you?" the Tongtian Sword Master asked.
"That's right! This old fellow was afraid that I would seal the Sea of Blood with the Devouring Great Dao, turning him into a trapped beast, so he eagerly ambushed me," the Demon Lord said, glancing at Qiong.
"But this old fellow was too hasty. This seat wasn't completely asleep at the time, and he couldn't wait to attack. As a result, I ambushed him. After recovering for ten thousand years, otherwise, you nine would have died long ago!"
"Are you done talking?" Qiong said with a cold face, his killing intent growing stronger.
"Not yet, what's the rush? We'll get revenge later, fighting until one side is annihilated. You are an invincible powerhouse, unrivaled at the moment, what are you afraid of? Can't you let this seat talk a bit longer?" the Demon Lord said, glaring at Qiong.
"Hmph!" Qiong snorted coldly, but he did not attack. Apparently, the Demon Lord's words had struck a chord with him. He was an invincible powerhouse, the strongest present. If he attacked, no one present could stop him.
"So, let Li Xiaotian devour the Sea of Blood and seal the passage. This way, the threat to our world will be eliminated," the Tongtian Sword Master said, his eyes lighting up as he looked at Li Xiaotian.
"Heh heh, that's right, but the prerequisite is that we can survive today. Let's go and fight him!" the Demon Lord said, then suddenly roared and swung his demonic sword towards Qiong.
"Presumptuous!" Qiong was furious, not expecting the Demon Lord to attack suddenly, clearly angered by the opponent's shamelessness.
Instantly, a terrifying pressure descended.
At this moment, the Tongtian Sword Master and the nine others attacked simultaneously, facing Qiong along with the Demon Lord.
"Hmph! A bunch of ants, do you think you are worthy of stopping this seat?" Qiong snorted disdainfully, swatting with one hand.
"Rumble!"
Terrifying energy descended from the heavens, instantly engulfing the Tongtian Sword Master and the nine others, as well as the Demon Lord.
An invincible powerhouse cannot be defeated by numbers.
"Fight him with all your might! If he doesn't die, we're all doomed!" the Demon Lord roared.
The Tongtian Sword Master and the others were speechless but also resisted with all their might.
Meanwhile, Li Xiaotian, standing to the side, approached the Sea of Blood.
"Heh heh, Li Xiaotian, you want to devour this old ancestor? Do you really believe the Demon Lord's nonsense? Return, surrender to this old ancestor. As long as this old ancestor is not dead, you will not be destroyed!" the Blood Ancestor said, completely disregarding Li Xiaotian.
"Kill!" Li Xiaotian's fist was his response.
