"As long as it doesn't harm their fundamental Dao foundation, a bit of hardship might become the most solid cornerstone of their future path. And the one standing behind them... since they haven't appeared yet, perhaps... they have the same intention?"
Qin Wuming made up his mind and decided to wait a bit longer.
In fact, the Powerful Experts of the Immortal Realm were not stupid; they could naturally see that an absolute powerhouse was definitely standing behind Lu Fan, Su Ming, Jiang Hao, and the others.
But as for who exactly it was, no one knew the specific details.
Qin Wuming had also calculated Han Xuanji, but the conclusion he reached was that he seemed to be just a Grand Unity Golden Immortal with a very fast cultivation speed, and he couldn't see anything wrong.
Not a few powerhouses held the same idea.
Among them was the Ninth Heaven Demon-Suppressing Jade True God. As an existence who had attained the Dao for countless years, his vision was naturally not as short-sighted as Yue Tian and the others.
With such high talent, how could there be no one behind Lu Fan and these few?
He had only sent Yue Tian to test the waters.
If they could be recruited, that would be good; even if they couldn't, he wouldn't be angry... At this moment, those watching this battle had different thoughts.
However, the situation on the battlefield was already as precarious as a pile of eggs. The End-Time Devilish Light of the Great Heavenly Demon's Incarnation became increasingly fierce, and Little Red cried out, seemingly unable to hold on.
Ahhh, Master! Why haven't you come out yet!
Little Red felt a sense of impotent rage in its heart. If it had known, it would have asked for more benefits back then. It hadn't expected this Great Heavenly Demon to be so powerful; just a single Incarnation was more than it could handle.
Seeing that Little Red seemed unable to resist, even Lu Fan and the others began to panic.
What was going on?
Had Master been blocked by someone?
Everyone was frantically calling out to Han Xuanji in their hearts. At this critical moment, they couldn't care about disturbing Han Xuanji anymore.
Just then.
"Sigh..."
A sigh that seemed to have traversed eternal time and space, carrying a hint of faint helplessness, resounded through every corner of the battlefield without warning.
This sigh was not loud, yet it clearly suppressed all other sounds, even faintly erasing the suffocating power of destruction and devouring in the sky!
Immediately after, in the Void Realm above Shenji City, a speck of white light quietly lit up where there had been nothing.
The light spread rapidly, turning into a hazy halo. Within the halo, a figure solidified from nothingness and slowly stepped out.
He had a tall and straight posture, wearing a simple green robe. His black hair was casually tied back, and his face was young and peerlessly handsome, with eyes as deep as if they contained the sea of stars of all heavens.
Han Xuanji had arrived.
To be precise, only an Incarnation had arrived. He stood quietly in the Void Realm, with no ripple of immortal power leaking from his body and no pressure deliberately displayed, looking just like a Mortal.
However, when his calm gaze swept across the battlefield and the Great Heavenly Demon's Incarnation that pressured the world, both the billions of the Demon Race and the Great Heavenly Demon's Incarnation felt a strange illusion.
It was as if they were so tiny, like a Mortal seeing a deity. The Great Heavenly Demon's pupils suddenly constricted the moment Han Xuanji appeared. A violent warning sign, almost like an instinct, surged into his heart. What he saw was not a specific human form; in his eyes, Han Xuanji's figure seemed to be a piece of the Great Dao—beginningless, endless, all-encompassing, and transcendent—some kind of manifestation of the Dao itself!
Limitless Primordial?
This thought exploded in the Great Heavenly Demon's heart like a thunderclap.
Others only knew that Han Xuanji was unusual, but he knew. This was an existence that even his true body could only look up to.
Silence, a deathly silence. Whether it was the Cultivators and Old Ancestors of the The name associated with the treasure side, or the soldiers and Emperors of the Demon Race side, they found that they seemed to have lost the ability to speak and could only stare blankly at this scene.
When Little Red saw Han Xuanji appear, a very human-like joy flashed in its eyes.
Great! All the grievances in its heart instantly dissipated, and it wished it could immediately urge Han Xuanji to teach this Great Heavenly Demon a lesson.
Jiang Hao, Lu Fan, Su Ming, Nangong Wenjian, and Lin Potian all saw this scene. Feeling this familiar aura, their blood boiled with excitement and anticipation.
Master is finally going to act!
Scenes from years past flashed through Lu Fan's mind. Whenever Han Xuanji acted, no matter what the crisis was, it would easily dissipate.
Great Heavenly Demon!
I want to see just how much ability you have!
Lu Fan had held these words in his heart for a long time. He exchanged glances with Nangong Wenjian and the others, and they all saw what each other was thinking.
Han Xuanji's gaze finally fell upon the frozen End-Time Devilish Light and the Great Heavenly Demon's Incarnation. He spoke again, his voice flat but carrying an unquestionable tone:
"This is not a place where you can act willfully."
"Disperse."
No earth-shattering Divine Ability appeared. What was Han Xuanji's current cultivation level?
Even if there was only one Realm difference between Limitless Primordial and Celestial Golden Immortal, it was a world of difference!
Han Xuanji simply flicked his sleeve casually in the direction of the Great Heavenly Demon's Incarnation.
The movement was light and understated, as if brushing away dust from his sleeve. An invisible Law Domain spread out from his side.
It was this casual movement.
The End-Time Devilish Light, which Little Red was extremely wary of, vanished directly from the world like pencil marks erased by an eraser.
Next was the Great Heavenly Demon himself. His powerful body, composed of Origin Devilish Qi and capable of rivaling Primordial Chaos, began to emit a jade-white shimmer from its edges.
Wherever the shimmer passed, the Dao laws, will, and everything else that constituted the Incarnation rapidly dissolved, as if turning into the most primitive energy particles, and were then assimilated by that jade-white shimmer, returning to the world.
The Great Heavenly Demon didn't even have time to make any reaction. The last things remaining in his eyes were shock and disbelief, and then he, along with his entire existence, was completely wiped out.
On the battlefield, there was a deathly silence. The wind stopped, and the originally raging energy aftershocks all calmed down.
On the The name associated with the treasure side, all Cultivators, from Ancestor Shenhui and Jiang Linyuan to the lowest-level Disciples, were all dumbfounded, their minds blank.
What did they see?
That world-destroying demon god, whose mere existence made them despair... was just... with a flick of a sleeve... wiped out?
At this moment, Qin Wuming stared blankly at this scene, then looked at that green-robed figure, his eyes bursting with unprecedented brilliance and... awe.
"This is Limitless Primordial, the Supreme Dao Venerable!"
He understood in his heart that all his previous calculations were wrong, utterly wrong!
Perhaps this Great Calamity, this Chessboard... everything was just the fun of this person playing in the Mortal world.
