The nine Demon Generals were the strongest force in the Demon Race, second only to the Archfiend Ancestor. If they were allowed to enter the eighteenth layer of hell, who knew what would happen when they encountered Jiangchen?
Thus, Du Shaofu felt that he had to kill them first. Only then would he have the greatest confidence to do more.
However, his senior brother Lu Shaoyou wasn't here. Xiaolong, Di Batian, Donghuang Taixuan, Yang Guo, and Lu Xintong had all left.
Without the protection of those experts, Du Shaofu didn't dare break the seal his senior brother had placed and release the nine Demon Generals all at once.
Even though Du Shaofu's strength had increased greatly, he couldn't withstand the simultaneous attacks of the nine Demon Generals.
"Martial Uncle Du, let's continue deeper. Father should be back soon!"
As if reading Du Shaofu's mind, Lu Jingyun, who was at the side, said to him.
His father, Lu Shaoyou, had entered the eighteenth layer of hell only to interfere with the Archfiend Ancestor, not to fight him.
Before he'd left, he'd sent a message to Lu Jingyun about his whereabouts.
Lu Jingyun guessed that his father, Lu Shaoyou, should be returning soon. Earlier, the Archfiend Ancestor's roar had come from the depths of the eighteenth layer of hell.
"Good! Let's go! "
Du Shaofu nodded at Lu Jingyun's words.
Once Senior Apprentice Brother Lu Shaoyou returned, the death of the nine great demon generals would also arrive.
He didn't delay any longer, and he continued to lead the way and continued on his journey with the others.
However, the experts didn't engage in any more bitter fighting. By now, the Demon Race had lost most of their battle strength and couldn't cause much of a stir.
At Du Shaofu's command, the Immortal Realm experts of the Thirty-three Heavens and the Three Thousand Boundless Domains didn't continue deeper. They wouldn't be of much help in the coming battles.
"Uncle Xiaolong and the others have already broken the seal of the fourth layer of hell. I wonder how many of the ancient experts they rescued survived!"
Lu Jingyun, who was walking side by side with Du Shaofu, spoke up again as he advanced.
When he said this, Du Shaofu and the hundreds of Meditative Realm experts around him fell silent. Their hearts felt heavy.
The ancient ancestors had sacrificed too much for the living of Pangu World.
Countless years had passed, so they'd arrived in the present world.
The Yuan Phoenix, the Blood Ancestor's Blood, had died because all its power, it, it had died.
., The eighteen experts who sealed the Great Dao must've, the Demon Realm experts, and Demons. The number of those Realm experts, the number of those who could Carry on the Heavenly Demon World.
Reverence that couldn't be restrained arose in the hearts of all the experts present here, and they felt the highest respect towards those 18 experts that had contributed everything to the Dao.
"The best way for us juniors to repay the kindness of our ancestors is to kill the Demon Ancestor and return peace to the world. We'll stop the flames of war from spreading. We'll stop the slaughter and let all the living beings in the world live in peace!"
A Meditative Realm expert of the Thirty-three Heavens sighed and said leisurely.
The Ancient Era had long since passed. Countless experts had fallen in that terrifying battle.
However, some things had been passed down, and that was their love for all living beings. Because of the influence of Pangu's Dao, it was deeply imprinted in the bones of the experts of the Thirty-three Heavens. It was impossible to erase it!
"Although the Dao I cultivate is different from Pangu's Dao of Living Beings, it's not much different in essence!"
Du Shaofu nodded. At the same time, he thought the same thing.
Pangu's Dao of Living Beings was to protect all the living beings he created so that they could avoid calamity.
Du Shaofu's greatest desire since he started cultivating was to protect those he cared about and allow them to live in peace.
From a certain perspective, Du Shaofu's Dao was extremely similar to Pangu's Dao.
He wanted his family, loved ones, and close friends to live in peace, so he naturally had to inherit the will of the ancient experts. He had to eradicate the Demon Race and vow to fight the Demon Ancestor to the end!
"Why hasn't Father returned yet?"
Du Shaofu and the others traveled without delay. After spending a considerable amount of time, they finally arrived at the fifteenth level of Hell.
At this time, Lu Jingyun's frown grew deeper and deeper, his face filled with endless worry.
He glanced at the seal where the nine Demon Generals were located. They were also being pulled along by an invisible strength, moving along with them.
For many years, the nine Demon Generals had been attacking ferociously. Terrifying attacks were launched one after another, fiercely crashing into the outer seal, trying to break free.
The seal's light shield had dimmed a lot, and cracks were everywhere. It wouldn't be long before it was completely broken.
"Senior Brother, could it be that you've encountered some unforeseen event?"
Du Shaofu had long been on guard and said softly.
Senior Brother Lu Shaoyou had been in the eighteenth level of Hell for quite some time. For someone of his level of cultivation, it wouldn't take him too long to break free from these spatial barriers.
Moreover, when they were in the eleventh level of Hell, they had already heard the Demon Ancestor's tragic roar.
Obviously, Lu Shaoyou had already attacked the Demon Ancestor and angered him.
However, after such a long time, Senior Brother still hadn't returned. This made Du Shaofu feel a little uneasy.
"Let's wait a little longer. If the Lord of the Three Thousand Upper Worlds doesn't return after some time, we'll have to retreat first!"
A Meditated Oblivion Realm expert from the Thirty-three Heavens spoke.
Everyone nodded when they heard this.
Among them, only Du Shaofu's current cultivation was able to contend with the nine Demon Generals. If Lu Shaoyou delayed for too long, the Forgotten Realm powerhouses wouldn't be able to stop them.
However, they weren't afraid. After all, the Dragon God, Di Batian, and the others were still on their escape route.
As long as they retreated in time, the nine Demon Generals wouldn't be able to do much harm to them.
Rumble …
At this time, another terrifying rumble came from above, causing the entire eighteenth level of Hell to shake violently.
Such a commotion was no surprise to Du Shaofu, Lu Jingyun, and the other powerhouses.
It was obvious that Xiaolong, Di Batian, Donghuang Taixuan, Yang Guo, and Lu Xintong had broken the seal of the fifth level of Hell, freeing one of the powerhouses who was the array foundation.
"Brother Xiaolong and the others are doing well!"
Du Shaofu looked up and muttered.
Relatively speaking, rescuing the eighteen powerhouses wasn't too difficult.
Xiaolong and the others had Lu Shaoyou's Bloody Saber, which was more than enough to break the seal.
However, what was worrying was that the roar that came from the eighteenth level of Hell hadn't been heard for a long time, and Lu Shaoyou hadn't returned either. This didn't make sense.
"Let's get ready to retreat as soon as possible, lest more variables arise!"
After thinking for a while, Du Shaofu looked at the many powerhouses around him and said.
The nine Demon Generals still needed some time to break the seal, but Du Shaofu didn't dare to take the risk.
The best thing to do now was to retreat first and wait for Senior Brother Lu Shaoyou to come back before making the next step.
If something unusual really happened, even Senior Brother Lu Shaoyou would have a hard time dealing with it. As for them, if they didn't have enough room to react, they would be caught off guard and inestimable losses would be incurred.
Du Shaofu wasn't willing to accept such an outcome.
"Alright!"
At the side, Lu Jingyun nodded and stopped in his tracks.
Hundreds of powerhouses steadied themselves and no longer cared about the nine Demon Generals. All of them walked in unison, ready to retreat out of the eighteenth level of Hell.
"Chi …"
Right at this moment, Du Shaofu sensed a slight ripple in the void. If it weren't for the great improvement in his cultivation, he wouldn't have been able to notice this subtle movement at all.
He looked back and saw a man in green slowly stepping out of the Void and appearing in front of him.
"Senior Brother!"
Du Shaofu was pleasantly surprised and called out.
Upon hearing his words, the other Meditative Forgetfulness powerhouses turned around instantly.
That's right, the man who suddenly appeared was the Lord of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, Du Shaofu's Senior Brother Lu Shaoyou.
Seeing his appearance, many experts were overjoyed.
Since he was able to come back in time, it meant that there weren't too many variables.
However, when everyone looked at Lu Shaoyou's face, they found that his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if he was worried about something.
When they saw this scene, Du Shaofu and the others looked at each other in dismay, and their hearts were pounding. Could it be that something unexpected had really happened?
"Senior Brother, did something happen?"
Du Shaofu immediately stepped forward and looked at Lu Shaoyou as he asked.
He stared at Lu Shaoyou without blinking, trying to figure out something from the change in his expression.
"Just a small change!"
Lu Shaoyou didn't hide anything. He nodded and said to the crowd, "The Demon Ancestor's recovery is much faster than I thought. When I attacked him, I found that his power was extremely terrifying. He's not far from his peak!"
As he spoke, the worry on his face deepened, but he immediately relaxed.
"How is the Demon Ancestor now?"
Du Shaofu raised his eyebrows and asked Lu Shaoyou.
He was surprised by his senior brother's words. Normally, all of the Demon Ancestor's movements should have been under his senior brother Lu Shaoyou's control. There shouldn't have been too much of a deviation.
Looking at his senior brother's expression, Du Shaofu faintly felt that it might not be a small change, but something that could have a huge impact.
The Demon Ancestor's power had unknowingly recovered greatly. Even his senior brother didn't know about it.
Perhaps there was something out of the ordinary about this.
"Don't worry about it for now. Although things have exceeded my expectations, it's all under control. The Demon Ancestor won't be able to do anything for a while!"
Lu Shaoyou waved his hand gently and said.
The Demon Ancestor's power had exceeded his expectations, but under Lu Shaoyou's attack, he was still greatly disturbed at the critical moment.
As such, it would still take a lot of time for him to recover to his peak!
"That's good!"
Du Shaofu heaved a sigh of relief, and his heart relaxed.
Since his senior brother said so, it shouldn't be too big of a problem.
As for the specifics, he could only take one step at a time and deal with whatever came his way!
"Boy, you've finally broken through. You've comprehended very quickly!"
Lu Shaoyou suddenly changed the topic and looked at Du Shaofu with a smile.
He saw through the purple-robed youth's cultivation at a glance. Even the little black dot branded on the youth's origin spirit in his mind couldn't escape his eyes.
For Lu Shaoyou, who had reached the Pathfinder Realm in his early years, this situation could only mean one thing: Du Shaofu had successfully taken that step into the Pathfinder Realm.
"This is all thanks to senior brother's guidance!"
Du Shaofu bowed and saluted Lu Shaoyou.
Du Shaofu had indeed benefited a lot from his senior brother's explanation of Pangu, Heavenly Lord Absolute Luo, the Demon Ancestor, and his own Dao.
Without his senior brother's explanation, Du Shaofu felt that he would have to take a lot of detours if he had to rely on his own comprehension.
"I only gave you a little bit of advice. Even if some ordinary people were to understand these principles, it wouldn't be too difficult! The most important thing is that your own will and conviction are strong. Only then can you truly walk into a new realm! "
Lu Shaoyou said with a faint smile.
When Lu Jingyun, Lu Youshao, Lu Ying, Long Que, Long Xu, and many other third level Meditative Realm experts heard this, they all nodded their heads at the same time, each and every one of them like chicks pecking at rice.
They fully agreed with Lu Shaoyou because if it wasn't for Du Shaofu's strong will, unshakable conviction, and unyielding will, it would absolutely be impossible for Du Shaofu to step into the Half-step Dao Enlightened Realm so easily.
If it were that easy, they would've reached that step long ago after so many years. They wouldn't still be stuck in the third stage of Meditative Realm!
Even so, when Du Shaofu broke through, he suffered a terrifying ordeal and almost died. At the same time, many experts were frightened.
"Our temperament still needs to be tempered even more!"
An old man with a white beard sighed softly and said.
When the others heard this, they nodded again in agreement.
Breaking through the Pathfinder Realm and engraving one's own Dao wasn't just about the fusion of power or sufficient comprehension. Most importantly, it was about tempering one's temperament.
Du Shaofu was much younger than any of them, but the things he'd experienced were things none of them had ever experienced before.
It was no wonder that the purple-robed youth had surpassed countless people in just a few thousand years of cultivation. He stood towering above countless beings in the Thirty-three Heavens and the Three Thousand Universes!
"Senior brother, given my current strength, do you think I can kill Jiangchen?"
Du Shaofu's sudden question made the experts present perk up their ears.
In their imaginations, Du Shaofu would need to complete his Dao before he could contend with Jiangchen.
However, there wasn't much time left. The Fiend Ancestor's recovery was imminent. They couldn't wait for Du Shaofu to fully mature.
Thus, everyone perked up, eager to hear what the master of the Three Thousand Universes, Lu Shaoyou, had to say.
"You little brat …."
Lu Shaoyou couldn't help but laugh. He stared at Du Shaofu for a moment, then retracted his smile and said solemnly, "I never expected you to reach the Pathfinder Realm in the shortest time possible! That's too difficult for you. Before the Fiend Ancestor fully recovers, it's practically impossible!
Therefore, when the real battle begins, I'll be the one to deal with the Fiend Ancestor. Before he fully recovers, I'm confident I'll be able to exhaust him! When that happens, I'll need Xiaolong, Master, Big Brother, Xintong, and the others to take action together! Once the Fiend Ancestor is completely suppressed, it'll be your turn to kill him! "
At the end of his speech, Lu Shaoyou's expression also showed a bit of ruthlessness.
From this, it was clear that his battle with Jiangchen would be incredibly fierce. Even he himself would have to face a great challenge.
"So that's how it is!"
Du Shaofu and the others understood. So Lu Shaoyou's plan was for him to exhaust the Fiend Ancestor's strength, then have the half-step Pathfinder Realm experts swarm him and keep him occupied. Finally, Du Shaofu would be able to kill him.
"Of course, if your cultivation can reach a higher level, it'll be much easier for us to kill him!"
Lu Shaoyou's tone changed, and he smiled at Du Shaofu.
Lu Shaoyou didn't seem too afraid of the battle with the Fiend Ancestor.
Everything was going according to plan. As long as there weren't any major variables, he didn't have to worry about the final outcome.
The only thing he needed to pay attention to was the Fiend Ancestor's final counterattack. That was absolutely terrifying.
"Senior Brother, I have another question!"
Du Shaofu nodded. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and said, "You told me a long time ago that I am the only one in this world who can truly kill the Demonic Ancestor. However, I don't understand why."
This was something Du Shaofu had always wondered, but Lu Shaoyou had never told him. Naturally, Du Shaofu didn't take the initiative to ask.
But these past few years, the two Devil Attendants had been determined to kill him. Presumably, it was for the same reason as Lu Shaoyou.
He couldn't understand. The Fiend Ancestor had an indestructible body. Even Pangu and Exalted Celestial, two Fiendgods from the primal chaos, couldn't kill him. How could he possibly do it?
This was indeed an inexplicable matter.
"Father …."
Lu Jingyun, Lu Youshao, Lu Ying, Long Que, Long Xu, and the other Meditative Realm experts all stared at Lu Shaoyou like curious babies.
That question wasn't only puzzling Du Shaofu, but also puzzling in everyone's hearts.
Like Du Shaofu, they all wanted to know the answer.
But obviously, Lu Shaoyou didn't intend to tell them now. The corners of the azure-robed man's mouth curled into an unfathomable smile, and he said two words that almost made everyone spit out blood at the same time. "Guess!"
