The Blood Ancestor's face darkened upon seeing this. His heart stirred, intending to control Li Xiaotian, but his expression immediately changed.
He found he could no longer influence Li Xiaotian.
Devouring Power!
At this moment, the Blood Ancestor understood. Devouring Power could devour all things. Li Xiaotian had previously transformed into a blood clone, but now he had used Devouring Power to transform himself back into a human.
"Hmph! Even so, you are no match for this Ancestor!" the Blood Ancestor snorted coldly. The sea of blood roared, and a massive wave surged towards Li Xiaotian.
"All human powerhouses, come to assist! Today is a fight to the death!"
At this moment, figures ascended into the sky, rushing towards the sea of blood and the Firmament.
Moon Venerable, the old man with the saber, the old Daoist priest, two of the Sea God's Six Knights, and more – a total of over a dozen figures flew towards the Firmament above.
They were slightly weaker than the ultimate powerhouses, but they could still participate in such a battle.
Simultaneously, many Heavenly-tier powerhouses took action. Dozens of figures rushed to support Li Xiaotian, heading towards various parts of the sea of blood and actively working to annihilate it.
All of humanity's Heavenly-tier powerhouses were in action. Some with dwindling lifespans directly burned their vitality to destroy the sea of blood.
The Blood Ancestor's power originated from the sea of blood. As the sea of blood diminished, the Blood Ancestor's strength decreased.
Although its main body was not here, as long as the rate at which the seawater was consumed was fast enough, the Blood Ancestor would be unable to mobilize the power of its main body.
After all, a world separated them.
"Ahhhh! Damn it! You bunch of ants, how dare you attack this Ancestor?" The Blood Ancestor roared. He could clearly feel his strength declining, and although the speed was very slow, it made him extremely angry.
With his accumulated power in the Earth realm, he could soon break through to invincibility. However, being consumed by all the human powerhouses at this moment shattered his hope of reaching invincibility.
"Boom!" The sea of blood churned and began to counterattack.
But at this moment, humanity was united. Everyone supported and rescued each other. If one person was in danger, those nearby would rush to their aid.
Even if someone was unlucky and couldn't escape, they would resolutely self-destruct, leaving no trace of power for the sea of blood.
"Rumble!"
Brilliant lights erupted across the Nine Provinces. Terrifying modern weapons were activated and directly bombarded the depths of the sea of blood.
Giant mushroom clouds appeared, and the sea of blood rolled uncontrollably.
"Ahhh, you despicable beings!" The sea of blood roared, consumed by fury.
Meanwhile, Li Xiaotian fought while simultaneously unleashing Devouring Power to consume the sea of blood.
Time was extremely tight.
He had to destroy the sea of blood first before going to assist the Demon Lord and the others.
Invincible powerhouses were not easy to kill.
Including the Demon Lord and ten ultimate powerhouses, along with Moon Venerable and over a dozen other top-tier powerhouses, they were merely struggling against the Firmament. To this day, they hadn't even wounded the Firmament.
However, thankfully, Li Xiaotian's side was formidable. The Blood Ancestor's aura was continuously declining.
"Help me devour the sea of blood!" Li Xiaotian shouted, leaping directly into the sea of blood. Devouring Power surged, and black holes appeared everywhere on the surface of the sea of blood.
"Ahhhh, Li Xiaotian, get out!" the Blood Ancestor roared. It was becoming fearful, churning the sea of blood frantically in an attempt to expel Li Xiaotian.
But the many Heavenly-tier human powerhouses attacked simultaneously, forcing it to fight on multiple fronts and preventing it from expelling Li Xiaotian.
"Firmament, save me! The passage is sealed; you will be trapped here forever!" the Blood Ancestor shouted at the Firmament.
"Hmph!" High above, the Firmament let out a cold snort, preparing to assist the sea of blood.
But at this moment, the Demon Lord and others fiercely obstructed him, preventing him from intervening.
"You are seeking death!" The Firmament roared in fury. The entire world trembled, the ground cracked, and the oceans flowed backward.
Instantly, the Demon Lord and the others felt their scalps tingle. Invincible beings were too powerful.
"Damn it, Ananda, why are you still not going all out? Unleash the demon within your heart. Don't think you're no longer a Demon Buddha just because you severed your demonic body!" the Demon Lord roared at Ananda.
The corpse of an invincible powerhouse in the secret realm was actually Ananda's, the Demon Buddha Ananda.
In ancient times, to fight enemies, Ananda transformed into a Demon Buddha, slaying enemies for thousands of miles.
Speaking of which, the Demon Lord, including Li Xiaotian, had actually benefited from Ananda.
After the war, Ananda severed his demonic body and sealed the secret realm.
Unbeknownst to them, the Demon Lord had strayed into it and pioneered the demonic path.
"Amitabha, if I do not descend into hell, who will?"
Ananda heard this, clasped his hands together, and then his eyes suddenly turned black. He reached out and grabbed the Buddhist Province.
"Come!"
Instantly, the entire Buddhist Province was seized in his grasp. The humans on the Buddhist Province fell to various parts of the Yan Province.
"Ananda, you've gone mad!"
"If you kill us, our race will absolutely never forgive you!"
"Damn it!"
Roars echoed from the Buddhist Province.
These were the demons sealed in the eighteen layers of hell, the true demons.
"Boom!" Ananda's response was a clench of his hand. The eighteen layers of hell instantly shattered, and all the demons sealed within perished.
The next moment, Ananda opened his mouth and swallowed all the demons into his body.
"Boom!"
Instantly, Ananda's physique grew, becoming completely black, transforming into a ferocious Demon Buddha.
"This is true demonic nature; the world has wronged me," the Demon Lord muttered upon seeing this. He had killed countless demons with a single palm. While those were not humans, killing so many was something an ordinary person truly couldn't do.
Buddhist chants echoed through the heavens and earth, and Ananda's aura surged rapidly, his demonic energy soaring.
At this point, his strength was infinitely close to the Firmament's.
He had broken through to invincibility.
However, above invincibility, a single point short meant a thousand miles. They were still no match for the Firmament.
But this also prevented the Firmament from attending to other matters.
"Kill!" the Demon Buddha roared, unleashing a sky-obscuring giant palm towards the Firmament.
Simultaneously, the Demon Lord and the others unleashed their full power, attacking together.
At the same time, on the ground, the sea of blood was rapidly shrinking, and Li Xiaotian's aura grew stronger.
The Blood Ancestor's resistance had become negligible.
They were opposites; the stronger one became, the weaker the other grew.
Gradually, with a roar of unwillingness from the Blood Ancestor, it was completely devoured by Li Xiaotian.
At this moment, where the sea of blood had been, everyone saw a spatial black hole, with a tributary of blood continuously flowing within.
Li Xiaotian moved his body, directly blocking it with himself.
Although his aura was terrifying at this moment, he was also in immense pain.
Devouring Power could devour anything, but the Blood Ancestor's energy was too vast. He could not digest it all at once.
The battle in the sky had reached its climax. The entire world was like the end of days, and the Firmament had gone mad.
He had to interrupt Li Xiaotian, or he would truly be trapped here.
Once the human invincible powerhouses returned, he would surely die.
The Demon Lord and the others held on precariously. Many human Heavenly-tier powerhouses began flying to various regions to rescue the humans.
At this moment, the Nine Provinces had all fractured, natural disasters were rampant, and countless lives suffered heavy casualties. Even the demon race was not spared.
It is worth mentioning that the demon race did not take the opportunity to cause trouble this time. Of course, they had the thought, but they were stopped by the demon race's Heavenly-tiers.
This was because they feared retribution!
Only the Heavenly-tiers of the demon race knew that the demon race, in essence, was deliberately left behind by the human invincible beings to temper humanity.
If not for the deep-seated hatred, they might even have wanted to help humanity.
After all, if humanity won this battle, they would remain the same. But if humanity lost, they would perish along with this world.
In the blink of an eye, a day passed. The sky remained utterly dim, and numerous powerhouses were still desperately besieging the Firmament.
They were all risking their lives to block the Firmament's advance.
On the second day, the Pope's ultimate powerhouse perished, and two top-tier powerhouses were severely injured.
On the third day, the leader of the Sea God Knights perished, the Demon Lord was severely injured, and the Demon Buddha lost an arm.
However, the Firmament also paid a price; its aura had declined.
On the fourth day, another ultimate powerhouse fell, and Moon Chan and other top-tier powerhouses were all severely injured and retreated.
The Heavenly Sword Master swallowed his sword, forcibly enhancing his strength, and severed an arm of the Firmament.
On the fifth day, only five ultimate powerhouses were besieging the Firmament. Ananda's Demon Buddha body was shattered by the Firmament, reverting to his previous form, his combat power greatly reduced.
The Demon Lord, on the other hand, directly refined himself into a demonic weapon, engaging the Firmament in a battle of attrition.
He had been ambushed by the Firmament in the past, nearly leading to his demise, and his resentment ran deep.
By the ninth day, only the Demon Lord, the Heavenly Sword Master, and the Golden Lion Maiden were still fighting the Firmament.
At this point, the Firmament was no longer in its peak condition.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a terrifying might descended upon the heavens and earth.
Everyone looked over. It was Li Xiaotian; he had awakened.
"Invincible!!" the Firmament shrieked, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
"Haha, you brat, you're finally awake! Hurry up and help," the Demon Lord laughed heartily. His gamble had paid off.
Li Xiaotian nodded, then took a step forward, instantly appearing before the Firmament.
"Boom!" He unleashed a punch.
The Firmament was directly sent flying.
At this moment, the Firmament, already weakened by the Demon Lord and the others, was no match for Li Xiaotian.
"Damn it! I'm not reconciled!!!" the Firmament roared.
Li Xiaotian's Devouring Power descended, transforming into a black hole that directly swallowed the Firmament.
At this moment, the heavens and earth fell silent.
"We won," Li Xiaotian said softly.
Instantly, cheers erupted across the Nine Provinces.
Li Xiaotian waved his hand, and the energy from devouring the Firmament was instantly dispersed across various regions, suppressing all natural disasters.
"I have found the true body of the sea of blood and transmitted a trace of power there. I believe it is time we let them taste the sensation of being invaded," Li Xiaotian said to everyone, a killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Haha, let's go kill them. Once we break through to invincibility, we'll descend upon them all and get our revenge!" the Demon Lord shouted.
The black hole created by the sea of blood's invasion had been sealed, the world was perfected, and the path to invincibility was opened.
"In ten years, humanity will take the initiative to attack!" said the Heavenly Sword Master.
Ten years. Those who were meant to break through would have done so. With humanity's accumulation, there would be at least a dozen invincible beings.
After all, if not for the damage to the ancient world, Moon Venerable and the others would have already been invincible.
The great battle concluded, and everyone returned to cultivation. They knew the war was not over.
In ten years, they would invade the enemy's world for revenge! And at the same time, they would bring back the invincible beings who had ventured out of the ancient human race.
During these ten years, Li Xiaotian spent his time accompanying his family, watching his daughter grow day by day.
Xiangxiang was rescued by him from the Witch Spirit Ancient Tree and adopted by him. The family of four traveled the world.
On this day, a terrifying fluctuation erupted once again in the heavens and earth. Over twenty figures descended upon the war zone.
Li Xiaotian, the Demon Lord, the Heavenly Sword Master, Moon Venerable, the Golden Lion Maiden, one of the Sea God Knights, the old man with the saber, the old Daoist priest, and others – all were invincible powerhouses.
It is worth noting that Li Xiaotian, due to his hasty breakthrough ten years ago, had spent these ten years refining his foundation and had resolved all potential problems. His strength was even more terrifying than the Firmament's had been, comparable to ancient invincible beings.
"We are all here. Invincible beings will pave the way, and ultimate powerhouses will lead the great army afterward. This battle, humanity will invade as a whole! Kill all the enemies!" said the Heavenly Sword Master.
Humanity had prepared for ten years, and the accumulation during this time was astonishingly formidable.
The heavens and earth, having been perfected by the disappearance of the sea of blood, rewarded all living beings. Everyone's cultivation speed was extremely rapid.
"Boom!"
Li Xiaotian punched open a spatial black hole. On the other side was an incredibly dim world, filled with an aura of madness and bloodlust.
"Kill!" Li Xiaotian shouted, charging forward first.
