Boom!
This piece of news exploded like thunder.
It left everyone around dizzy and disoriented.
The Jiuli Heavenly Dynasty has fallen?
How long has it been? It’s already down?
Lu Ye received the news and lightly sighed.
The fall of an empire means countless people will become food for other races.
What can he do?
Just cultivate!
A wild glint sparkled in Lu Ye’s eyes.
If the demon clan can attack the Great Wilderness Human Clan, then why can’t the Human Clan retaliate against the demon clan?
Although the demon clan has fortified their small world into an iron fortress, it poses no problem for someone like Lu Ye, who is well-versed in formations.
Currently, he was at the first level of the Unity Realm.
He didn’t possess the power to crush all demon clans; he needed to break through!
And the second target of the demon clans had already been chosen.
The Mountain River Pagoda Sect!
Why this sect?
Simple, because Lu Ye had destroyed their protective formation.
The demon clan clearly got wind of the news that Lu Ye had slain eleven scattered deities.
“He’s growing too fast!”
The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor had transformed; it used to resemble a Qiongqi beast, but now it had morphed into a bizarre-looking creature.
Its eyes radiated a terrifying killing intent.
“Have you gathered the essence blood I wanted?” the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor spoke.
“Reporting to the Demon Emperor, it’s all collected!”
“Good, you will attack the Mountain River Pagoda Sect as before—capture alive where possible, kill directly where not!”
“Understood!”
Lu Ye knew the direction of the demon clan’s attack, and he wasn’t the slightest bit worried.
After all, the fall of the Mountain River Pagoda Sect didn’t really concern him.
If all went as expected, the next to fall would be the Supreme Imperial Court.
The Mountain River Pagoda Sect was situated right between the Supreme Imperial Court and the Jiuli Heavenly Dynasty, and he had planned to sell various treasures to both empires.
But now, the fall of the sect is just convenient for others.
Lu Ye rushed towards the divine clan.
The demon clan had no need to intervene; most of the treasures inside had already been looted clean by the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor. The same went for the demon faction; the Heavenly Demon Emperor was painstakingly working with the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. If not for the Earth Demon Emperor getting in the way, the entire demon realm would have been a buffet for the Heavenly Demon Emperor.
This time, all the demon clans were fully mobilized.
The Mountain River Pagoda Sect faced an overwhelming assault from the demon alliance, leading them to make a very reluctant choice.
Their protective formation had not only been destroyed but completely altered by Lu Ye.
Restoring it would take time.
It could only be said that the demon clan’s attack came at a very opportune moment.
Thus, they retreated towards the Supreme Imperial Court.
Seeing this, the demon clan showed no hesitation and charged straight for the Supreme Imperial Court.
The emperor of the Supreme Imperial Court was named Shangguan Hongtian.
At this moment, within the imperial court, all formations had been activated, based on mountains and rivers, with dragon energy as the conduit, creating this super formation.
Any demon within the formation would be suppressed while the human clan would receive bonuses.
In this tug of war, the demon clans finally slowed down their advance.
In the Supreme Imperial Court Palace!
Everyone’s heart raced with urgency, their faces solemn, and the atmosphere in the hall was extremely heavy.
“What word from the Eternal Order Sect?”
“Reporting to the emperor, the Eternal Order Sect has not seen our emissaries!”
“Damn it!”
Shangguan Hongtian exploded in anger, “We agreed on a human alliance of mutual support, and since we see the Eternal Order Sect as our primary sect, now they act like turtles hiding in their shells?”
“What about the Robber Sect?”
“The Robber Sect got in touch, but they’ve moved their sect and fled to the south of the Grand Dao Sect.”
Shangguan Hongtian…
“What about the Grand Dao Sect?”
“The Grand Dao Sect said they won’t take any action until Lu Ye returns.”
Shangguan Hongtian swayed, collapsing into his dragon throne.
“Good, good, just keep getting better! This kind of Human Clan deserves to be wiped out!”
Shangguan Hongtian gritted his teeth and said.
“Your Majesty, the Fourth Princess requests an audience!”
Shangguan Hongtian was currently in a foul mood. What does a princess want at this time? Looking to get scolded?
“Tell her to go away, I won’t see her!”
He still needed to discuss countermeasures with his adviser team.
An empire can’t just move like a sect whenever it pleases.
If the common people vanish, can it still be called an empire?
“Father, I have a plan to repel the enemy!”
Shangguan Huanling shouted from outside the palace.
In her past life, surrounded by Lu Ye’s countless treasures, she advanced rapidly and ultimately became an emperor.
But in her eyes, that emperor was a sham.
Although Lu Ye let her become an emperor, he was the most useless one.
He was merely a subordinate of the Celestial Lord.
She didn’t want to rely on someone like that; in her second life, she could achieve unmatched power on her own.
Perhaps even challenge the Celestial Lord and rise to the Saint level.
“Father, I truly have a plan to repel the enemy; you must believe me!”
Shangguan Hongtian’s gaze turned somewhat terrifying.
He knew his daughter, Shangguan Huanling.
In the last half year, her cultivation had progressed by leaps and bounds; she had even broken through to the Refining Void Realm not long ago, clearly ranking among the strongest of all princes and princesses.
But having just become Refining Void, she was still too weak!
In this situation, she couldn’t possibly make any difference.
Yet she was so insistent.
Shangguan Hongtian raised his hand.
“Let her in!”
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Huanling was suddenly excited; she felt her great opportunity was arriving.
The time and place were just right.
She just needed the right people!
“Daughter Shangguan Huanling, pays respects to Father!”
Shangguan Hongtian looked at his daughter, who possessed such a fine appearance, originally considering alliances with other forces, but she had displayed astonishing talent in cultivation.
“You say you have a way to repel the enemy?” Shangguan Hongtian asked.
“Yes, Father!”
“Then let’s hear it.”
“Father, I’ve heard that the Mountain River Pagoda Sect has entirely moved into our Supreme Imperial Court, and I possess a top-tier technique from the Nine Heavens named the Origins Devouring Heaven Sutra. This technique can devour the origin of all things, particularly various spiritual treasures. I humbly request Father to assist me by giving me all the treasures of the Supreme Imperial Court as well as those of the Mountain River Pagoda Sect. I only need a short period to breakthrough to the Transcending Tribulation Realm.”
“And I am ten parts confident that I can succeed in my tribulation; at that time, I will be able to slaughter all demons!”
Shangguan Huanling spoke resolutely, her conviction rock solid.
With adequate resources, she could become invincible!
In her previous life, she was fed but never honed her ambition for power.
In this life, she would fight for herself!
In the hall, various strong figures sat with their eyes closed.
I can’t hear anything; I’m old, and my ears seem to have suddenly gone deaf. It doesn’t seem like a big deal.
Shangguan Hongtian stared at his daughter.
At this moment, his gaze became very complex.
He thought of himself, incredibly clever, and his favored consort was virtuous and wise.
How could such a daughter come to be?
Could it be… she’s not his biological child?
