Not long after Son of Heaven Liang ascended, the Holy Army attacked the Hua Men.
Now that the threat of the demons' invasion had been resolved, the Tongtian Holy Island was no longer threatened by the outside world. Naturally, internal conflicts would emerge.
As the saying went, a mountain could not accommodate two tigers. Originally, the Holy Army was the only top force on the Tongtian Holy Island. Later on, the Hua Men emerged as a new force and almost took the throne of the Holy Army's number one clan. Naturally, the Holy Army would not sit idly by and watch the Hua Men continue to develop.
In the battle with the demon army, the Holy Army suffered great losses. The Hua Men did not suffer great losses. However, the Holy Army still had two top powerhouses, while the Hua Men did not have a single one.
What troubled the Hua Men cultivators the most was that even Saber9 and the Shaman King had joined forces with the Honorable Ten Thousand Saints and arrived at the Hua Men's encampment.
There was not much difference in the number of Tongtian powerhouses on both sides. The Hua Men even had a slight advantage. However, they lacked four top powerhouses. The Hua Men could not resist at all. They could only hide in the Ten Terminal Formation set up by the Sect Master.
Many Tongtian Holy Island powerhouses joined in the attack on the Hua Men.
The reason the Holy Army joined forces with various forces and powerhouses to attack the Hua Men was that the Hua Men cultivators and the Hua Men's Sect Master had helped the demon powerhouses break the seal around the Demon Sealing Tower's outer perimeter.
That was indeed the case back then. However, Xiao Lingyu was controlled by the demon Li Jia. Unfortunately, the Honorable Ten Thousand Saints, Saber9, and the Shaman King would not reveal this fact.
Xiao Lingyu had not come out of the Demon Sealing Tower after thousands of years. Everyone had reason to believe that Xiao Lingyu would most likely not come out. She would either perish together with Xie Wang or be unable to gain the Demon Sealing Tower's acknowledgment. She would be forever trapped on the ninth level of the Demon Sealing Tower.
Moreover, even if the Lord of the Hua Men could come out, what did the Holy Army have to fear? Even Saber9 and the Shaman King were involved in this operation, as well as many organizations of various sizes from Skyreach Holy Island. Those below immortal-level did not need to fear any cultivators at all.
The Ten Terminal Formation was very strong, but it couldn't withstand the continuous bombardment of countless masters. Unfortunately, the Hua Men had no leader and couldn't organize an effective counterattack. In the end, the formation base collapsed.
If the Evil Demon Li Jia hadn't emptied the Hua Men's treasury and taken away all the Psychic Immortal Stones, the Ten Extremes Formation might have been able to hold on for a little longer.
With the last barrier broken, the Hua Men had already opened their arms to the ferocious Holy Army. The Hua Men cultivators all chose to withdraw from the Hua Men.
When they had entered the Hua Men Island, Xiao Lingyu had given them permission to leave. This was something that all the forces on Heaven Reaching Saint Island knew.
Too many Hua Men cultivators withdrew in order to save their lives, causing the Hua Men to completely lose their ability to resist. In the end, they collapsed and announced their disbandment.
Many cultivators who had sworn eternal loyalty put up a desperate fight and then organized a breakout. However, without the help of top powerhouses, they could only be slaughtered mercilessly.
Although the Earth powerhouses were the Hua Men's allies, they were too weak to support the Hua Men. They could only watch as the Hua Men were destroyed.
The Peacock Bright Monarch and the other Earth powerhouses knew that they were the next target of the various forces on Heaven Reaching Saint Island. They had no choice but to evacuate from the Demon Sealing Tower and spread out to hide.
Even if they pretended to be weak and hid, they could not avoid being hunted down by the various forces on Heaven Reaching Saint Island. One after another, the Earth cultivators were discovered and killed.
The Peacock Bright Monarch had long guessed that the Earth cultivators would become the focus of the various forces on Heaven Reaching Saint Island after the crisis of the demon invasion was resolved. This was why he had asked Xiao Lingyu to form the Hua Men Island. However, he never expected that Xiao Lingyu would not be able to come out of the Demon Sealing Tower.
In the past, the number one powerhouse on Heaven Reaching Saint Island was Tianzi Liang. He had a good relationship with the Earth cultivators, but the Sacred Army waited until Tianzi Liang ascended before making their move …
The elimination of the Earth cultivators on Heaven Reaching Saint Island was only a part of the Sacred Army's operation. Not long after, the Sacred Army powerhouses began to head for the narrow Divine Realm.
More than two hundred thousand years later, a large number of Sacred Army powerhouses arrived in the narrow Divine Realm.
In a narrow sense, the God Realm also had a magnificent gate, and it was based on a Black-Armored Race's ship. Unfortunately, even though the ship's quality wasn't low, it didn't last long against the attacks of the Holy Army.
The Hua Men cultivators in the narrow Divine Realm did not have any Heavenly Ascension powerhouses. Faced with a large number of Sacred Army powerhouses, they could not resist at all.
Very few of the Hua Men cultivators in the narrow Divine Realm, as well as the Hua Men cultivators who ascended from the Lower Realm, managed to escape. Most of them were slaughtered by the Sacred Army.
Xiao Lingyu's sworn brother, Ge Yunfei, also died in the Sacred Army's massacre. Even the Family Jiang, who had a good relationship with the Hua Men, was annihilated. Jiang Lanyue's father, Jiang Shengye, was not spared either.
The Sacred Army was very ruthless. It was fine if they did not make a move, but if they did, they would not leave behind any future troubles.
Among the more important Hua Men in the narrow Divine Realm, the only one who was spared was Xiao Lingyu's disciple, Ye Qiu.
The reason Ye Qiu was spared was not because of his current strength, but because he had already left the Hua Men in the narrow Divine Realm long before the Sacred Army arrived, and headed for the Heavenly Saint Island.
Ye Qiu's speed was not fast, and he was traveling the different races of the Divine Realm, so he did not encounter the Sacred Army.
Coincidentally, Ye Qiu left the narrow Divine Realm after a conversation with Yan Tianzi.
As Xiao Lingyu's old friend, Yan Tianzi heard about the existence of the Hua Men after ascending to the Divine Realm, so he naturally came to visit Xiao Lingyu. Although he did not meet Xiao Lingyu, he did chat with Ye Qiu for a while.
While chatting, Yan Tianzi suddenly thought that Ye Qiu must be extraordinary since he could become Xiao Lingyu's disciple, so he made a divination for Ye Qiu, but the result was that Ye Qiu's life would be in danger if he did not leave as soon as possible. Therefore, Yan Tianzi tried to persuade Ye Qiu to leave the narrow Divine Realm. The reason he used was not the result of his divination, but that Ye Qiu should travel the different races of the Divine Realm to broaden his horizons, and that he should go to the Heavenly Saint Island to show respect to his master.
Even now, Ye Qiu, who was still on his way to the Heavenly Saint Island and traveling the different races of the Divine Realm, did not know that the Hua Men in the narrow Divine Realm had been destroyed.
But that was not the worst thing. The most hateful thing about the Sacred Army was that in order to truly eliminate the root of the problem, they had once again sent people to the Lower Realm, not even sparing the descendants of the Immortal, Devil, and Monster Realms.
The Sacred Army's attack on the Earth lineage was not because of Xiao Lingyu, but because in the ancient times of this universe, the powerhouses of Earth were too powerful. They had offended too many races and factions, large and small. The hatred they left behind was borne by the later generations.
Even without Xiao Lingyu and the Hua Men, the Sacred Army would still join forces with the various factions of the Heavenly Saint Island to eliminate the cultivators of Earth.
At this time, Xiao Lingyu was also in danger.
He did not expect that the glutton would become so bloodthirsty after digesting Xie Wang's energy.
After waking up, the glutton's eyes were bloodshot, and his body shone with chaotic light and demonic blood light. He did not even recognize Xiao Lingyu and began to hunt Xiao Lingyu down in the large iron coffin.
"From the looks of it, he really did get rid of the donkey after it had outlived its usefulness. This glutton was most likely deliberately placed by the mastermind so that he could kill me at this moment. He predicted that I would let the glutton devour Xie Wang's body and also predicted that the glutton would become like this after devouring Xie Wang's body. Just like what Xie Wang said … the mastermind has used up all his tricks! "
Xiao Lingyu could only shake his head and smile bitterly when he figured this out.
No wonder he was always able to turn misfortune into blessings for countless years. His luck had always been good …
No wonder it had always been so easy for this glutton to increase his realm and could ascend without undergoing tribulation …
"Even without the glutton, as long as I tried to make the Demon Sealing Tower recognize me as its master, I would still be trapped in this large iron coffin and unable to leave. Naturally, I would never be able to break through to the Immortal Realm and would be trapped here forever. In the end, I would be exhausted to death here.
"Since I started cultivating, I have experienced countless dangers and almost lost my life many times. How could the mastermind have calculated so accurately?
"If the mastermind's calculations weren't very accurate, then there must be a backup plan. I shouldn't be the only chess piece.
"The mastermind's plan was nothing more than to trap Xie Wang and lure the Evil Demon Realm to invade. Then, they would exhaust the Evil Demon Realm's vitality so that the Evil Demon Realm would never be able to invade this Realm of the Gods. With the situation inside the Demon Sealing Tower, Xie Wang wouldn't be able to escape no matter what.
"Even without me as a chess piece, the Evil Demon Realm would still invade again. However, they might not have the chance to break through the restrictions around the Demon Sealing Tower. Their experts might not be able to enter the ninth floor of the Demon Sealing Tower. In this way, the experts of the Evil Demon Realm might not be completely annihilated … It seems like I am still quite useful …
"What if I die early?"
Xiao Lingyu was also confused after thinking about it. Fortunately, he stopped thinking about it and focused on dealing with the glutton's attacks.
After devouring Xie Wang, the glutton's strength had become abnormally strong. Although it didn't use any divine abilities, its speed, strength, and strength had far surpassed Xiao Lingyu's. It had probably entered the Immortal Realm. Xiao Lingyu was definitely not its opponent.
Moreover, this glutton had followed him for many years. Xiao Lingyu really couldn't bear to attack it.
After being trapped in this large iron coffin for more than ten million years, Xiao Lingyu's strength hadn't improved by much. He also hadn't figured out the Tenth Transformation Technique. It was just that all the injuries he had suffered before had been completely healed. When he was attacked by the glutton, he was in his peak condition.
The glutton was very strong. However, it had already become berserk and had lost its rationality. It only blindly charged forward, using the powerful impact of its body to deal with Xiao Lingyu. Because it was too fast, Xiao Lingyu would always be hit and his body would always be sent flying. He would fiercely smash into the iron walls of the large iron coffin before falling heavily and continuing to receive the glutton's attacks.
For the time being, Xiao Lingyu's life wouldn't be in danger. However, with his injuries constantly worsening, it would be difficult for him to escape death sooner or later.
Xiao Lingyu opened his Heavenly Eye of Destruction time and time again, but he still couldn't bear to attack the glutton. He felt that if he held on for a while longer, the glutton might be able to recover.
