Rays of powerful magical energy struck the demon hall, and a sealing light barrier appeared. Countless ancient talismans emitted a hazy, precious glow, circulating and blocking the attacks.
But the power of the sealing formation was not infinite.
Under the combined assault of hundreds of Martial Venerable powerhouses, the already overburdened sealing formation was pushed to its limit.
The nine Demon Suppressing Elders quickly intervened, channeling nine powerful streams of magical energy into the sealing formation.
At that moment.
Suddenly, an immeasurably terrifying, immeasurably evil, and boundless oppressive aura descended instantly!
It was a colossal, headless demonic phantom. Its massive body seemed to occupy the firmament, pressing down from above, exuding an endless sense of pressure.
Those hundreds of extraterritorial powerhouses became even more frenzied.
They shouted, "Break the demon hall, break the demon hall!"
"Not good! It's the four parts of the demon body suppressed by the Four Directions Demon Hall, they have merged!"
The nine Demon Suppressing Elders were greatly alarmed, their expressions grave to the extreme.
With the four parts of the demon body merged, even though their power had weakened to the extreme, less than one ten-millionth of their peak Demon Emperor state, they had already surpassed the Condensing Core realm!
Boom!
Terrifying, boundless demonic energy surged, and the heavens and earth seemed to dim into darkness.
The headless demonic phantom suddenly extended a colossal demonic claw, slamming fiercely onto the demon hall's seal.
Boom!
The moment the two collided, a terrifying shockwave swept in all directions. It could be seen that the sealing light barrier, under the terrifying power of that claw, suddenly caved in. Although it had not completely shattered, it was on the verge of collapse.
"Hmph!"
A thunderous cold snort emanated from within the headless demonic phantom.
It retracted its demonic claw and slammed it down again!
Once.
Twice.
Thrice.
After several consecutive blows, the ancient talismans on the sealing light barrier dimmed, and countless dense, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the sealing formation.
Finally, as the immensely colossal headless demonic phantom stomped down, the sealing formation completely collapsed!
"The demon hall is open! The demon hall is open! Hahaha!"
"Quick, rush in and grab the treasures!"
"The treasures are all mine, scram, scram, scram! Whoever tries to take them from me, I'll kill them!"
The eyes of those extraterritorial powerhouses were filled with greed. They were blinded by avarice, their minds solely focused on the treasures within the demon hall.
However, the so-called treasures were merely illusions created by the Demon Emperor using the Six Desires Demonic Sound, designed to ignite their greed and wicked thoughts.
When they rushed into the demon hall and found no treasures, they immediately flew into a rage, glaring at the remaining Demon Suppressing tribesmen like a pack of hungry wolves.
"Where are the treasures! Where are the treasures! You bastards must have hidden them! Hand over the treasures quickly, or we'll kill you all!"
These heinous powerhouses immediately charged towards the nine Demon Suppressing Elders and the remaining Demon Suppressing tribesmen.
"Hahaha, I said, you couldn't trap me!"
Just then.
With a long howl, a terrifying, boundless black energy erupted from the demon hall. The nine Demon Suppressing Elders were sent staggering, only able to watch helplessly as this black energy escaped, unable to suppress it further.
The black energy rushed out of the hall and soon transformed into a terrifying head with a green face and fangs, completely merging with the headless demonic phantom.
"Hahaha, after hundreds of years, I, this Emperor, have finally reappeared in the world!"
As the Demon Emperor's demonic body unified, the demonic energy on its body began to surge wildly, and its aura climbed steadily.
Its colossal demonic body spanned the firmament, and a terrifying devouring force enveloped almost the entire Myriad Burial Demonic Abyss.
Endless chaotic spiritual energy converged, forming a colossal funnel that connected heaven and earth, rushing madly into the Demon Emperor's body.
As the Demon Emperor absorbed more and more chaotic spiritual energy, its aura grew stronger and stronger.
Soon.
It broke through the threshold of the Condensing Core realm.
It directly entered the Golden Core realm!
And it was still surging.
Hundreds of miles away from the Demon Emperor.
Ling Fan, and Elder Long Sheng, Wang Meng, and others not far behind him, all noticed this change. Ling Fan's expression merely tightened slightly.
Elder Long Sheng and Wang Meng, however, were greatly alarmed, their eyes filled with deep despair.
"The Demon Emperor is out, it's over, everything is over!"
"It's all your fault! If this demon hall hadn't been broken, the Demon Emperor's body wouldn't have been reunited. It's all because of you, you stubborn and arrogant fellow!"
Several young powerhouses of the Demon Suppressing tribe were almost losing their minds, roaring out their emotions.
Ling Fan coldly turned back and glanced at them.
If it weren't for the Demon Suppressing tribe's merits in guarding the Myriad Burial Demonic Abyss, these few would have long since become corpses.
Elder Long Sheng saw Ling Fan's gaze, and his expression changed slightly. He quickly stopped those young powerhouses.
"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense! Without this young master, we would have died long ago! The priority now is to figure out how to resolve the Demon Emperor's trouble, not to shift blame. I hope everything can still be salvaged! We must have more confidence in the Great Elder and the others."
Scolded by Elder Long Sheng, the young men's emotions finally stabilized somewhat.
Everyone quickly accelerated towards that direction.
...
Before the demon hall.
As the aura of the Myriad Burial Demon Emperor entered the Golden Core realm, it couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.
Inside the demon hall.
Hearing the Demon Emperor's laughter, the nine Demon Suppressing Elders' expressions became extremely grave.
The leader among them said, "We cannot let the Demon Emperor continue to recover so unscrupulously. Every moment that passes, our hope diminishes. While its recovered strength is not yet too great, I will go and stop the Demon Emperor."
He unleashed a powerful cultivation fluctuation of the quasi-Golden Core realm, took out the remaining few Spirit Gathering Grasses, and after consuming them, temporarily suppressed the demonic energy within his body, restoring his cultivation to its peak state.
He beckoned, and the ancient, blood-stained long saber suspended above the demon well flew into his hand.
As the saber entered his grasp, a world-shattering saber energy erupted from him.
"Great Elder!"
The others exclaimed.
They all understood what the Great Elder's decision meant.
Whether he could stop the Demon Emperor or not, he was going to his death.
"We'll go too! We'll fight the Demon Emperor!"
The remaining Demon Suppressing Elders also unleashed the powerful aura of the peak Condensing Core realm. However, before they could make a move, the hundreds of extraterritorial Condensing Core realm powerhouses who had entered the demon hall charged towards them.
"You don't have the Sacred Saber, so going is useless! Only with my quasi-Golden Core cultivation can I barely use the Sacred Saber to stop the Demon Emperor! You stay here and stop these people. If things become truly impossible, take the remaining tribesmen and leave, preserving the flame of our clan!"
After speaking, the Great Elder charged into the sky without looking back. Behind him, a colossal Martial Venerable Dharma Image unfolded, with specks of golden light flickering, revealing the initial contact with the laws.
Powerful magical energy surged into the ancient, blood-stained long saber in his hand. The saber suddenly lit up, erupting with a dazzling radiance of seventy-two golden artifact patterns!
Mid-grade Earth-tier.
A transmitted sacred weapon.
