Devil King Xue He ignored Rulai, Martial Monarch, and Celestial Dragon True Emperor. He didn't even glance at them as he headed straight for one of the Desolate Ruins.
Above the Desolate Ancient Ruins, a formation was faintly flickering. This formation looked like a sword peak, but also like a wisp of smoke, as if it would collapse at any moment.
There were seven or eight people lying inside the formation, their fates unknown. A sword was floating in the middle of the formation. The body of the sword was also faintly discernible. It seemed to be an old man sitting cross-legged.
The Great Dao masters hiding in the other Desolate Ancient Ruins all knew that this formation was the Great Void Sword Formation. The people inside the formation were also from the Great Void Paradise. The one who transformed into a sword was Elder Tongbei, one of the Great Void Nine Swords.
Everyone knew that Devil King Xue He was a disciple of the Void Paradise before he fell to the demonic dao. He was also a peerless genius.
Even though the Devil Emperor Xue He had left the Great Void Cave for the sake of Cang Yan, and even returned his powerful cultivation base to the Great Void Cave.
However, many knew that Xue He still had feelings for the Void Paradise.
It was said that all these years, Devil Emperor Xue He had always wanted to help the Great Void Cave rise again. He knew that the Great Void Cave had been suppressed by the 36 Paradises and 72 Blessed Lands, as well as the Great Wilderness because of what happened back then. They had neither resources nor talents, and the Great Void Cave had gradually declined because of this. Devil Emperor Xue He had given the Great Void Cave large amounts of precious resources more than once, and had also personally sent talented people into the Great Void Cave, all in hopes that the Great Void Cave could rise again one day.
Unfortunately …
The Great Void Cave did not appreciate his kindness, and had never accepted his good intentions. Regardless of whether it was precious resources or talents, they were all rejected at the door.
Some said that the Void Paradise had always hated Xue He and refused to forgive him.
Back then, if the Devil Emperor Xue He had not turned into a demon and killed so many people in the Great Wilderness, causing the 36 Grotto-Heavens and 72 Blessed Lands to suffer heavy losses, the Great Void Grotto-Heaven would not have been suppressed by them and would not have gradually declined.
Others said that if Xue He didn't fall to the demonic dao, he would've become the overlord of the Immortal Dao. Even if the Void Paradise couldn't become the leader of the thirty-six grotto-heavens, it would've been one of the best.
As the saying goes, success lies in the river of blood and failure lies in the river of blood.
The Great Void Cave rose again because of the Blood River, but it also gradually declined because of the Blood River.
However …
One thing was certain.
The Devil Emperor Blood River had never forgotten that he was once a disciple of the Great Void Cave. Even though the Great Void Cave had never accepted his goodwill, not even once, he had never stopped. Every once in a while, he would still gift them with large amounts of precious resources, including all sorts of rare treasures, and even treasures of the Great Dao.
Furthermore.
There was one thing that no one could deny. All these years, if not for the Devil Emperor Xue He taking care of the Great Void Cave in the dark, the Great Void Cave would not have just declined. It might have already been removed from the 36 Paradises.
The Devil Emperor Blood River had always been elusive. Ever since he became a devil during the Primordial Age, he rarely showed himself in the Great Wilderness. If not for Elder Tong Bei and the others from the Great Void Cave, the Devil Emperor Blood River would not have shown himself.
Across all the worlds, perhaps only the people from the Great Void Cave could make the Devil Emperor Blood River appear.
They arrived at the Desolate Ancient Ruins.
Devil Emperor Blood River glanced at the faintly discernible Great Void Sword Formation that was swaying like smoke. He walked over and raised his hand to gently touch it. Instantly, the Great Void Sword Formation turned into ashes.
One couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Devil Emperor Blood River.
Despite the decline of the Great Void Cave, the Great Void Sword Formation was still very famous. Moreover, the one who set it up was Elder Tong Bei, one of the famous Great Void Nine Swords. He even turned into a sword to support the formation.
Although the Great Void Sword Formation was faintly discernible and looked as if it would collapse at any time, it was just a look. After all, the Great Void Sword Formation was created by the Great Void Sword Sage, who was famous in the Remote Antiquity. The Incarnation Sword that Elder Tongbei transformed into was also created by the Great Void Sword Sage.
Otherwise, the twenty experts who followed the Heavenly Dragon True Emperor couldn't do anything to the Great Void Sword Formation even after attacking for a long time. Even the Heavenly Dragon True Emperor himself couldn't break it.
But now, Devil King Blood River casually touched the formation and destroyed it. This was enough to show that Devil King Blood River's existence was beyond imagination.
Although the seven or eight people lying on the ground inside the formation were still alive, they were all seriously injured. Moreover, their cultivations were damaged and their minds were shattered. They would need a very, very long time to recuperate.
Elder Tong Bei's injuries were even worse. In order to protect the disciples of the Great Void Cave, he chose to use his cultivation to turn into a sword to support the formation.
In other words, Elder Tongbei was using his cultivation base, which he had painstakingly cultivated for countless years, to protect the lives of the other disciples of the Great Void Cave.
They weren't dead but they were crippled.
During this time, Devil King Blood River didn't say a word. His cold face didn't reveal any emotions. He just squatted down and carefully treated the disciples of the Great Void Cave.
In the void.
Tathagata Miraculous was still sitting cross-legged on the palm of the Giant Holy Buddha. One of his hands was placed in front of him, while the other hand was twirling the prayer beads. His pair of eyes, which seemed to be yin and yang, were looking at the Devil Emperor Blood River. A faint smile hung on his lips.
No one knew what he was smiling about.
In the distance.
Martial Monarch had a solemn expression. His brows furrowed as he stared at Devil King Blood River.
If Mystic Rulai's abnormal attitude had made him cautious, then after Devil Emperor Blood River's appearance, his heart was no longer as simple as being cautious. Instead, he became worried.
It wasn't that Devil King Blood River was scarier than Rulai in his mind.
Truth be told.
He wasn't afraid of Rulai or Devil King Blood River.
He had the qualifications, the confidence, and the strength to do so.
At the very least, this was the case when facing them alone.
But when facing two overlords of the Grand Dao, Tathagata Miraculous and Devil Emperor Blood River at the same time, even if the Martial Monarch had the qualifications, confidence, and strength, he couldn't help but panic.
This was especially true when he knew that these people were injured by Heavenly Dragon True Emperor. It was one thing if Devil King Blood River didn't pursue this matter. But if Devil King Blood River decided to attack Heavenly Dragon True Emperor, he couldn't just sit by and watch.
He and Heavenly Dragon True Emperor were bipolar yin and yang, boundless taiji.
Not only were their lives intertwined, but so were their souls. Even their divine intents, psyches, wills, and consciousnesses. Both of them would affect each other.
If Heavenly Dragon True Emperor's avatar turned to ashes, it would affect his divine intents, which in turn would affect his true body.
With that in mind, he took a step forward and cupped his fist: "Greetings, Devil King Blood River!"
