The sword cultivator known as the Pure Yang Immortal Swordsman was none other than the legendary Lü Dongbin.
Held back by several other immortals, he could only give up and sheathe his sword, saying flatly, "Fine. I would not be able to convince the masses if I were to kill you just like that. Still, I'll say it again: once we return to the homeworld, we will prioritize defending against the Hundred Races Alliance. If you dare to run amok, I will kill you!"
In truth, the Immortal Foxes of Green Hill were a little apprehensive.
They would not have been afraid of an average Golden Immortal.
Most importantly, Lü Dongbin was not only incredibly powerful — he was not far off even if he could not compare to the White Sky God King of the God race. Moreover, he had a background as the Celestial Court's Emperor Donghua, a capable subordinate of the Jade Emperor.
The Celestial Court, on the other hand, held great authority.
Since the Palace of Six Holies usually did not take charge, the Celestial Court was in charge of all arrangements and arrangements in the celestial battlefield. Even the disciples of the Saints had to show some respect to the Celestial Court and address the Jade Emperor as' Martial Uncle '.
Would the Green Hill Foxes dare to not show respect to the Jade Emperor?
Most importantly, Lü Dongbin was one of the Eight Immortals.
The Eight Immortals were famous in the celestial battlefield. All eight of them were elite Golden Immortals and were as close as brothers, having once joined hands to slay a Demon King.
After a few curses, Lü Dongbin added, "Don't be hasty, Brothers. We will depart once my brother and the others arrive."
"What?"
A Golden Immortal gasped in surprise. "The True Habitant of Potion King is returning as well? The Eight Immortals are all returning to the homeworld? "
The Potion King naturally referred to the leader of the Eight Immortals, Iron Crutch Li.
Iron Crutch Li had many names. He was also called Li Tieguai, Li Hongshui, and there seemed to be names like Li Xuan and Li Ningyang. However, under normal circumstances, people were used to calling him Medicine King.
He was so accomplished in pellet refinement that many Grand Luo would seek him out.
That was why the leader of the Eight Immortals would not lose out to Grand Luo in the celestial battlefield.
"Of course."
Lü Dongbin nodded without holding anything back.
Another Golden Immortal laughed and said, "With the Eight Immortals gathered, even a Grand Luo could be slain. It seems that the kid's return would definitely repel the legion of the Hundred Races Alliance and diminish their might."
"We can't be careless."
Lü Dongbin shook his head and solemnly said, "Although we did not participate in the war all those years ago, we know that the Hundred Races had invested a great deal. Later on, the homeworld sealed itself and the Hundred Races returned empty-handed. Now that another war has been waged, they would certainly not hold back."
"I've heard that the White Sky God King of the God Race and Modolo of the Demon Race have both returned to this world from the celestial battlefield some time ago. I'm afraid they'll be joining the battle this time as well."
"One of them is a prodigy of the God race while the other is a prodigy of the Demon race. Both of them have the ability to fight a Grand Luo. Add the other Golden Immortals of the Hundred Races to the mix, this is going to be a tough fight."
Many Golden Immortals wore grim expressions.
In the All-heavens Battlefield, the Human Race wasn't weak. Whether it was the God Race or the Devil Race, they weren't a match for the Human Race. However, when the God Race and the Devil Race joined forces, the Human Race fell into a disadvantageous position.
Moreover, the number of Golden Immortals, True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals that the humans could mobilize was far inferior to the Hundred Races Alliance.
Of course.
The 'Human Race' mentioned here was actually just a term of address for the various worlds in the universe.
After all, humans were not the only ones who came from the homeworld — there were many daemons as well. In fact, there was a time before ancient times when the daemons were the rulers of the homeworld, with the Sorcerer Race and the Blood Race also originating from the homeworld.
However, the Blood Race had now established their own race and occupied a small world in the universe. The Blood Ancestor of the Blood Race was extremely powerful and could be considered one of the strongest champions beneath the Saints.
He had betrayed the Human Race and joined the Demon Race, becoming their vassal, and was now infamous in the celestial battlefield.
Soon.
Seven figures hurried to the scene.
Lü Dongbin flew up to greet them.
The Eight Immortals had gathered.
"Let's go!"
After some small talk, Iron Crutch Li cut to the chase. "I've received word that the legion of the Hundred Races Alliance is gathering at the Black Demon Star in the Sky Demon Galaxy, and would soon attack the homeworld. Depart at full speed without delay!"
Ooom!
The light of the portal shone, and one figure after another stepped into it.
… …
The Sky Demon Galaxy.
A million miles away from the former Black Demon Star, Wang Hou and Wang Xiao 'Er, the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist had withdrawn their auras and concealed themselves as they quietly hurried on their way.
However …
Wang Hou frowned slightly and asked quietly, "What's going on?"
"Has the Hundred Races Alliance become so arrogant?"
"There are no scouts or scouts nearby. Aren't they afraid that our homeworld's champions would ambush them?"
The Ten Thousand Swords Daoist smiled bitterly in response. "It's not that the Hundred Races Alliance is being arrogant, but … the homeworld simply does not have the strength to attack. The Alliance knows that very well."
"Still …"
The Ten Thousand Swords Daoist's tone changed in slight surprise. "We're not too far from the Black Demon Star. It's a medium-sized living planet that is more than a hundred thousand miles in diameter, and we should be able to see a thing or two from this distance."
He studied the star map carefully to make sure that he was not going the wrong way.
And yet, the Black Demon Star …
There was none.
Soon, they had advanced another few hundred thousand miles.
Charging his mystic energy, the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist cast a godly technique called Heaven's Eye. Immortal radiance shot out of his eyes as he looked out into the distance, and he had even noticed several planets around the Black Demon Star according to the star map.
Then, he carefully determined the coordinates on the star map and confirmed that the Black Demon Star was among those planets.
"Something's not right!"
The Ten Thousand Swords Daoist cried out in surprise and growled, "Where's the Black Demon Star? Why is it gone? "
Beside him, Wang Hou's gaze shifted and he asked somberly, "What's wrong, Brother Ten Thousand Swords?"
Withdrawing his godly technique in slight disbelief, the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist exclaimed in surprise, "I couldn't find the Black Demon Star just now according to the star map and the planetary coordinates. Could the Hundred Races Alliance have set up an array to hide the Black Demon Star?"
"But the Black Demon Star is a living planet that is more than a hundred thousand miles in diameter, and it would not be easy to hide it. Why would the Hundred Races Alliance do this?"
Wang Hou appeared thoughtful and said, "Could Jiang He have done it?"
"That's impossible!"
The Ten Thousand Swords Daoist said determinedly, "Jiang He is certainly powerful, but would the Black Demon Star be destroyed so easily? Leaving aside whether the legion of the Hundred Races Alliance had really assembled here, the Black Demon Star would usually have elites stationed here since it is a strategic location in the Sky Demon System … Eh? "
"What's that?"
Even before he finished, his eyes widened as he looked up ahead.
He could vaguely see …
A corpse.
It was a massive corpse that resembled an insect, and its skin was covered in tough, pitch-black scales. However, the scales were tattered as if someone had cut it a few times with a sword.
The surface of the pitch-black scales was stained with brown blood.
The Ten Thousand Swords Daoist quickly went up, his expression changing as he said, "It's an insect Golden Immortal. Its blood has yet to dry, and it must have died less than five days ago … from the looks of its wounds, it was injured by Sword Qi that had escaped, and its psyche was maimed as well."
The Ten Thousand Swords Daoist quickly came to a conclusion after checking the corpse.
That conclusion left him rather shocked, and he exclaimed in shock, "It must have been maimed by Sword Qi, and its soul must have been maimed. It then used a secret technique to escape, but its psyche crumbled before it could get far, and it died here."
"The Sword Qi that escaped alone could maim a Golden Immortal insect … could a Grand Luo have attacked?"
"Gasp!"
Wang Xiao 'Er inhaled sharply.
As if struck by a thunderbolt, Wang Xiao 'Er stumbled several hundred meters backward, exclaiming in shock and fear, "A Grand Luo? Could the Hundred Races Alliance have ignored the Pact of the Saints?"
Wang Hou walked up to take a look.
Feeling the familiar Sword Dao presence lingering on the Golden Immortal insect, Wang Hou smiled. "Don't panic, Brother Ten Thousand Swords. The Sword Qi on this insect must have been left by Jiang He, and it seems that he is fine. Jiang He must have destroyed the Black Demon Star as well."
The Ten Thousand Swords Daoist came to his senses then, and looked at Wang Hou as if he was an idiot.
Who gave you that confidence?
Jiang He?
Heh.
Was Jiang He that awesome?
With just Sword Qi, he killed a rather strong insect Golden Immortal?
If he really had that ability, wouldn't he …
Match Grand Luo in combat ability?
