Chapter 221 The Counterattack Begins
Silence fell over the abyss.
In the past tens of thousands of years, there was basically no sound here except for the heart-stopping screams that would be heard when the Countless Heavenly Supremes of the Great Thousand Covenant used their spiritual power to kill the evil gods.
But the silence this time was different. It seemed like the repression before the storm, which could break out at any time.
Through a layer of seal, the eyes of the Immortal Emperor and the Evil God intertwined.
"You lost after all!" A sigh of relief came from the Immortal Emperor's mouth, and the silent Evil God didn't know what it felt like in his heart.
Back then, the Evil God was deliberately sealed by the Immortal Emperor in order to adapt to the world of the universe. The subsequent battle revolved around the seal.
The Great Thousand World can be defended for 49,000 years. If the Great Thousand Covenant is made forty-nine times, the Heavenly Evil God will be completely wiped out. The evil races outside the territory will break the seal, and the Heavenly Evil God will destroy the Great Thousand World.
Now the Immortal Emperor has been resurrected. Although his condition is wrong and his strength is insufficient, the evil tribes outside the territory have no possibility of breaking the seal.
The Great Thousand Covenant has been made forty-eight times, and there are only a few hundred years left before the last one. After the Immortal Emperor has been dormant for hundreds of years, he can still watch the Evil God on his way.
With most of the obsession in his heart, the Immortal Emperor's aura slowly converged, and in the end he just isolated the altar from the abyss, forming an independent space.
After doing all this, the Immortal Emperor looked at Xiao Yan, his eyes full of admiration for his younger generation.
The Immortal Emperor showed a smile, obviously in a good mood, nodded to Xiao Yan and said:
"Although I don't know how you did it, I have regained some vitality now. It may not be possible to completely kill the Evil God, but there is still no problem in holding the seal."
"When the Evil God dies, the evil tribes outside the territory will no longer have the confidence to continue to invade the world. After they retreat, the world will be able to restore peace."
"Great Emperor, where do you think the evil races from outside the territory come from?" Xiao Yan asked.
The Immortal Emperor frowned slightly. Although the extraterritorial evil tribe came from outside the world and had a completely different cultivation system, no one knew where they came from.
"I think they are at least a race in a plane that is not weaker than the Great Thousand World. In other words, there are other planes outside the Great Thousand World." Xiao Yan continued.
"..." The joy of being able to send away the Evil God was instantly washed away. The Immortal Emperor would not think that there are no more planes besides the Great Thousand World and the planes of the evil races outside the territory.
So the question is, are there races in those planes that are invading like the evil races from outside the territory?
Will there even be a super race that has spanned several planes?
The Immortal Emperor sighed and said softly, "It's really hard to accept."
"But we must be prepared for the worst." Xiao Yan said.
"So, you already have a plan? Is it related to the evil tribe outside the territory?" The Immortal Emperor showed an interesting look.
"Everyone has always avoided the demonic energy, but in fact, with the power of the Sky List, it is possible to refine the demonic energy and transform it into spiritual power." Xiao Yan told his ambition.
"You want to swallow up the evil tribe outside the territory!"
"The evil tribe outside the territory wants to swallow up the world and refine the sky list. Why can't we swallow the evil tribe outside the territory?"
The Immortal Emperor stared at Xiao Yan with burning eyes, and Xiao Yan looked at him without fear.
Even leaving aside the Evil God, the evil tribes outside the territory still have enough powerful men to suppress the entire world. Among them, the thirty-two major clan leaders are each comparable to the late-stage Saint Grade Heavenly Supreme, and their actual combat power is even stronger.
With the addition of the Evil God, it would be even more terrifying.
The Evil God was still hopelessly strong despite the suppression of the entire world. The Immortal Emperor was at a loss and could only seal it with his life.
To put it bluntly, just refining the Evil God will be of great benefit to the world.
If the entire evil race outside the territory can be refined, there is no doubt that the strength of the world will experience a blowout.
Both the number of strong men and the strength of the will of heaven and earth will inevitably increase significantly.
The Immortal Emperor figured out the connection and suddenly felt a little regretful:
He didn't think in this direction at all back then. The seal was purely the will of heaven and earth that connected the world, gathering endless spiritual power to kill the evil god.
However, back then, the Immortal Emperor did not have the strength to use the Evil God as nourishment.
Thinking of this, the Immortal Emperor couldn't help but have some doubts: "Is the Evil God also in your plan? With your strength, you should be enough to leave your name on the Sky List. But if you want to deal with the Evil God or even refine it, I'm afraid you need to leave your name completely. That’s all.”
Xiao Yan smiled and began to tell the Immortal Emperor his idea...
The Sky List reappeared, and the word "Ye" burst into light, quickly shocking the entire world.
Just when various forces began to speculate on the reasons behind it, Daqian Palace stepped forward and announced a bombshell news: the Immortal Emperor had regained a glimmer of vitality.
As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar throughout the world.
The Immortal Emperor has always been a legendary figure. He sealed the evil god with his life and solved the greatest crisis of the evil tribe outside the territory. He has been praised for tens of thousands of years. Now that he has come back to life, it is a bit hard to accept.
But Daqiangong doesn't care whether others can accept it or not.
Daqian Palace then released a second message:
The Immortal Emperor is sitting in the hills of the Northern Wasteland, and the Tomb Keepers will conquer the evil races outside the territory and choose a place to station themselves in the continent occupied by the evil races outside the territory.
The five ancient tribes also took the lead in launching a conquest against the evil tribes outside the territory, striving to regain the lost territory and restore the glory of the Great Thousand.
All of a sudden, countless Heavenly Sovereigns started running, and countless creatures followed to pay attention to this matter.
The world war in ancient times already seems a bit far away to the living beings in the world today.
Except for the Heavenly Sovereign who wants to join the Great Thousand Covenant, most of the creatures in the Great Thousand World maintain a sense of strangeness towards the terrifying invaders from the evil tribes outside the territory.
Generally speaking, it is equivalent to knowing such a thing, but feeling that it has nothing to do with me.
And as the crusade began, it became related to ordinary people.
The conquered continent will naturally be guarded by Tian Zhizun, but it cannot be just Tian Zhizun. It will definitely require some relatively weak people to live there and make use of the resources of those continents.
The living conditions must be extremely difficult, but it also gives people the opportunity to obtain the protection of the Supreme Being.
Countless people are restless, and the evil reputation of the evil tribe outside the territory has naturally never faded, but there will never be a shortage of people who risk their lives for resources. They will not retreat until death comes...
Just when the Great Thousand World side began to mobilize mightily, the Demonic Hall once again gathered a group of demonic figures.
Unlike last time, the holy demon emperor in the center did not ignite the black and white holy demon flames, but the majestic momentum enveloped the entire Ten Thousand Demons Palace.
"There was indeed the aura of the Immortal Emperor that day."
A low voice sounded, and the Ten Thousand Demons Palace suddenly boiled.
Although the Heavenly Demon Emperor clearly knew that the Immortal Emperor was no match for the Heavenly Evil God, they also knew that only the Heavenly Evil God could suppress the Immortal Emperor among all the evil races outside the territory.
"Quiet!" A loud shout sounded, and the Ten Thousand Demons Palace fell into silence.
The Holy Demon Emperor took a deep breath and said calmly: "The Immortal Emperor is probably just a remnant soul and does not have peak combat power, otherwise he would definitely attack our god on the spot."
"The only thing the Immortal Emperor can do is to stop us during the last Great Thousand Covenant."
"The last Great Thousand Covenant does not allow for any surprises. Before that, we must deal with the Immortal Emperor first."
The voice of the Holy Demon Emperor was unequivocal, leaving no room for doubt, but it also made the Demon Emperors look embarrassed.
"Are you still going to surround and kill Xiao Yan?" the pale-faced Dark Sky Demon Emperor asked softly.
The Shengtian Demon Emperor frowned. The Immortal Emperor was a strong man who had a surname in the Firmament Ranking in the past, and Xiao Yan was a strong man who was very likely to have a surname in the Firmament Ranking in the future.
If Xiao Yan makes a breakthrough because it takes too much time to deal with the Immortal Emperor, then everything will be lost.
"Kill Xiao Yan first." Shengtian Demon Emperor replied.
"Then the Great Thousand Worlds will counterattack us, should we resist with all our strength?" Dark Sky Demon Emperor then asked.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the Holy Demon Emperor, and he sneered: "Do they really think they can defeat us?"
"That is to say, you can kill freely, right?" the Demon Emperor said with a ferocious smile.
The hands of the Demon Emperor's hands were long and slender, and his nails were dark. They faintly exuded strands of extremely terrifying sharp energy. A gentle wave was enough to tear apart the space, and his words were full of violence.
"Anyway, no matter where we fight, it belongs to the territory of the world. We don't care if we break the continent. Choosing an area covered by demonic energy to fight us is undoubtedly self-defeating. It's really stupid!" Inner Demon! The emperor also sneered.
"Okay, let's move to the lower plane where the evil spirit clan is located first! Forget about the broken lower plane, the evil spirit clan must not be exposed to the sight of the world now." Shengtian Demon Emperor waved.
One after another, the demonic figures left, and the Ten Thousand Demons Palace returned to peace.
Only the Holy Demon Emperor was left with a gloomy and uncertain expression...
A year later, the mighty war began.
Although the five ancient tribes are also one of the initiators, they will no longer be the top combat power after the actual fight.
Only the powerful ones who can reach the late stage of the Supreme Saint Grade Heaven, such as the Demon-Slaying King Qin Tian, the Sword Master in Blue Shirt, the Immortal Lord, the True Dragon Emperor, the Phoenix King, etc., can dominate the battlefield.
Although the five ancient tribes have profound foundations, when it comes to the top experts, they are really not that interesting.
Even Mahatian, who is considered the strongest among the Five Ancient Clan, is only in the middle stage of the Supreme Saint Grade Heaven.
The area occupied by evil tribes outside the territory is completely different.
Regardless of the sky or the earth, if you look around, you will see pitch black, with disgusting demonic energy exuding everywhere. Just standing in it, you can feel the physical resistance.
But Xiao Yan is here.
Xiao Yan did not do anything unnecessary. Under the protection of many Heavenly Sovereigns, he contacted the Sky List with his mind, attracting the will of the world, allowing the spiritual power containing the world's great power to penetrate the endless demonic energy and forcibly transform the battlefield.
Regarding this act of clearing away the demonic energy and regaining the lost ground, the will of heaven and earth in the world generally showed a supportive attitude, so it was particularly easy for Xiao Yan to contact the Cang Qiong Bang.
Then Xiao Yan disappeared, and the Hailiangtian Supreme fought with the evil demon emperor from outside the territory.
Heavenly Sovereign is divided into spiritual, immortal, and holy grades, and Demon Emperor is also divided into three corresponding levels, Youxuantian. It is difficult to win or lose in a fight, but basically the evil race from outside the territory has the upper hand.
Xiao Yan was not very interested in this. Apart from summoning the Sky List, he spent most of his time wandering in the void, looking for those lower planes.
Without coordinates, it is difficult to find the lower plane.
But things like coordinates were gathered a lot during the mobilization period.
For example, the White Dragon Supreme came to the Great Thousand World from the lower plane to ask for help. He just happened to catch up and immediately provided the coordinates of his homeland. For example, there were also people from the Ice Spirit Tribe who went to the lower plane back then, and they also had relevant coordinates.
Xiao Yan followed these coordinates to see if there were any geniuses in the local area who had reached the peak of cultivation and could compete with the Demon Emperor. If there were any, he would help them without taking action directly; if not, he would fry the fish and kill the Demon Emperor instantly.
On this day, Xiao Yan came to Tianxuan Continent corresponding to the coordinates of the Ice Spirit Clan.
Xiao Yan looked at the plane that was faintly emitting some demonic energy. His eyes passed through the obstruction of the plane's embryo and locked onto the source of the frozen demonic energy.
"I seem to be stuck?"
Xiao Yan smiled, flicked his fingers, and a wisp of flame flew through the air and fell silently into the Tianxuan Continent...
Above the chaotic sea of demons, a huge and gorgeous ice lotus burst out with thousands of rays of light, and then the petals of the ice lotus began to slowly close. Through the ice lotus, one could see a young man with a face full of despair.
A pretty figure stood blankly outside the ice lotus, with tender eyes staring at the young man's face, as if to imprint it completely in his heart.
However, this figure abandoned her own spirit, body, soul, and blood. She had nothing left, and her figure became increasingly faint, like a candle in the wind that might dissipate at any time.
"Should I say this is a talent? Just in time?"
At this moment, a very disturbing sound came. Ying Huanhuan was startled, and then she looked around and saw only a blazing fire.
"Who are you?!" The Flame Lord rushed up immediately, and then the energy in his body instantly crouched down, making it difficult for him to attack the person who was surrounded by flames.
"I am a businessman from the world." Xiao Yan took out a pill and said.
The refreshing fragrance of medicine spreads out, and Ying Huanhuan's remnant soul, which was dissipating all the time, actually stabilized in the fragrance of medicine.
"As long as there is a drop of Supreme Spiritual Liquid, payment is allowed to be deferred!" Xiao Yan flicked his finger and threw it to Ying Huanhuan.
"Senior is joking, how can such a magical medicine only require a drop of supreme spiritual fluid?" Ying Huanhuan had a bitter look on her face.
"As long as you can kill this strange demon king, then this elixir only requires a drop of supreme spiritual liquid." Xiao Yan said with a smile.
Ying Huanhuan looked thoughtful, but did not take it. She just said softly: "Then I would like to thank you senior. I believe that he...Lin Dong can definitely do it."
"Oh? Are you planning to die yourself and leave the elixir to that boy?" Xiao Yan waved his hand, and the anxious Yanzhu next to him was swatted away.
Ying Huanhuan smiled but did not respond.
"Then you look down on me a little bit?"
Xiao Yan shook his head and took out a jade box, opened it, and saw dozens of pills randomly placed inside, each one exuding the same medicinal fragrance.
