A year later, the God Realm was pacified!
The Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom had become the mastermind of the God Realm. With the purple-gold divine dragon avatar becoming the Realm Lord, Ye Xuan, under the vast accumulation of resources, had directly and forcefully elevated it to the peak of the ninth heaven of the God Emperor, just one step away from the half-step Grandmist realm.
Furthermore, with the enhancement of the Dragon Clan's supreme bloodline, his combat power was enough to rival a Grandmist first-heaven expert!
"We respectfully send off Lord Divine Master!!"
The strongest ancestor of the Ba Jian Divine Kingdom and a group of experts all bowed to Ye Xuan. In front of them was the entrance to the Desolate Realm, just like the entrance to the God Realm, only its aura was a hundred times stronger!
"Desolate Realm... Have I finally reached the level of the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor and the Linglong Divine Emperor now."
With a sigh of emotion, Ye Xuan entered the passage to the Desolate Realm. Aeons ago, the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor was schemed against by the outer-realm demon world and disintegrated here. The Heaven-Slaying Battle Armor, the God-Slaying Thunder Spear, and even the Linglong Pagoda manifested externally. He looked at the ancient and familiar environment.
"Senior Linglong, was Divine Emperor Linglong truly only at the half-step Grandmist realm back then?"
"This..."
Hearing Ye Xuan's question, the artifact spirit of the Linglong Pagoda frowned, "I'm not sure!"
"My memory seems to be somewhat missing, but my intuition tells me that Lady Linglong's strength was definitely far beyond the half-step Grandmist realm. However, why she was besieged and killed by those ninth-heaven God Emperor experts from the demon world, I don't know."
Then, the artifact spirit of the Linglong Pagoda looked into the distance, "According to my memory, it will take about a month to reach the Desolate Realm. Master, why not take this opportunity to break through to the fourth heaven of Grandmist."
"This... that would be good."
Afterward, Ye Xuan entered the Linglong Pagoda to cultivate. This made him even more suspicious. It could be said that the Linglong Pagoda alone could enter the Desolate Realm, but how could Divine Emperor Linglong be besieged by those mere shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
Within the thirteenth layer of the Linglong Pagoda.
One year!
Three years! Five years!!
Time flowed by. After an unknown period, his aura finally strengthened with a hum, and he successfully advanced to the fourth heaven of Grandmist.
If such speed were known to the Desolate Realm, the entire Desolate Realm would be shocked.
One must know that advancing one heaven in the Grandmist realm often took hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of years. And now, Ye Xuan, even within the Linglong Pagoda, had not reached ten years.
As for the outside world, it had only been a month!
Then, Ye Xuan returned to the outside world, finding himself less than half a day away from the Desolate Realm.
"Master's talent is unparalleled, Linglong admires you!"
Originally, the artifact spirit of the Linglong Pagoda had merely suggested it; she did not know that Ye Xuan could break through. This scene now truly made her astonished.
"However, the Desolate Realm is finally close."
The Heaven-Slaying Battle Armor took a deep breath. He had been unable to reach the Desolate Realm as he wished in ancient times, and now he could finally fulfill his dream.
Soon, half a day later.
Whoosh~
Ye Xuan left the passage of the Desolate Realm and arrived in a world filled with primitive aura, and he couldn't help but look around. "This... is this the Desolate Realm."
"It seems the pressure between heaven and earth is more than a hundred times greater than in the God Realm!"
Then, Ye Xuan flipped his right hand and a jade slip appeared. The map of the Desolate Realm then appeared before his eyes. "According to Taruo, gods and demons coexist in the Desolate Realm, locked in a stalemate for countless years, and their enmity is quite immense. The God Alliance, formed by various forces of the God Realm, is all in Grandmist City."
Finding the location of Grandmist City, Ye Xuan turned into a stream of light and rushed there.
At the same time, somewhere in the Desolate Realm.
At this moment, a man and a woman were playing chess and drinking tea. Moreover, their auras were completely opposite; one was filled with a sacred aura, and the other was filled with an evil aura.
"Oh!?"
After placing a white piece, the woman stopped playing, a beautiful curve appearing on her lips. "Asura Demon Lord, the person I prophesied has arrived in the Desolate Realm, and..."
"Quite interesting, already at the fourth heaven of Grandmist!"
"What!"
Hearing the words of the stunning woman opposite him, the Demon Asura's expression trembled. "Having reached the fourth heaven of Grandmist just after entering the Desolate Realm, Fairy Linglong, are you sure?"
"Naturally."
Immortal Linglong's lips curved, and she placed another white piece. "After countless years of planning, is it finally about to begin?"
"Demon Asura, this child's potential is unprecedented, and he is less than a hundred years old this year!"
"To be precise, he is only half a century old."
Hmm!
Hearing Immortal Linglong's words, the Demon Asura narrowed his eyes. "At the age of fifty, he has reached the fourth heaven of Grandmist. In that case, isn't this child's talent far more monstrous than ours?"
"Hahaha, good!!"
"The entire board is set, and the person to break the deadlock has finally appeared. This damned Heavenly Dao, I've long wanted to fight him!"
A terrifying aura surged from the Demon Asura, flashing and disappearing. However, it was at the thirty-third heaven of Grandmist. No, to be precise, that aura could defeat even a thirty-third heaven of Grandmist in one move.
However, the Immortal Linglong opposite him was unfazed, which already explained everything. If Ye Xuan were present, he would be shocked to find that this Immortal Linglong was exactly the same as Divine Emperor Linglong.
Immortal Linglong, as the strongest in the God Alliance, was also the only being in the thirty-third heaven of Grandmist among all forces in the God Realm. Aeons ago, she sent a wisp of her clone into the God Realm. To avoid the Heavenly Dao, she rose from obscurity and eventually became Divine Emperor Linglong. With the enhancement of the Linglong Pagoda, she faked her death and returned to the Desolate Realm. At that time, her mere wisp of a clone already possessed the thirtieth heaven of Grandmist.
It was just... back then, she discovered an unparalleled disciple named Di Shitian. She originally thought he could be the one to break the deadlock, but unexpectedly, it was not him in the end.
To make everything plausible, she and the Demon Asura staged a play at the entrance of the Desolate Realm, which eventually led to the disintegration of the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor, but he was resurrected by her in the Desolate Realm.
And now, the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor had become the strongest person in the human race second only to her, at the thirty-second heaven of Grandmist. However, to break the deadlock, he was still a considerable distance away.
Although the thirty-second heaven of Grandmist was already extremely powerful, it seemed somewhat 'mediocre' to reach this realm after countless years.
"Why wouldn't I want this."
Immortal Linglong narrowed her eyes. "The Heavenly Dao thinks it is superior to everyone, playing with my God and Demon races in the palm of its hand. For countless years, to avoid its suspicion, countless people from both the God and Demon sides have died."
"Is this day... finally coming soon!"
Muttering, Immortal Linglong then sensed something. "Eh~"
"That little guy seems to have gone to Grandmist City. It seems I have to leave!"
*Crack*
A white piece was placed, and the entire game of chess was instantly reversed. "Heh heh, today's game, I have won."
The Demon Asura saw this, and a smile curved his lips. The Immortal Linglong was no longer there.
"Alas, it's a pity this child is not from my demon race. The human race is destined to prosper, and no one can stop them!!"
As the voice fell, the Demon Asura also disappeared from his original spot. This was a chaotic region that even the Heavenly Dao could not detect. He then looked in the direction of Grandmist City. "Why not take this opportunity to have another great war between gods and demons? We can't let the Heavenly Dao notice anything amiss at this moment~~"
