Chapter 1337
The Inheritance of a Great Ascension Powerful Immortal
The Blood Demon Lord's demonic power suddenly subsided, and the overwhelming blood energy surged back like a tide, leaving only a lingering stench in the original spot.
An eerie silence instantly fell over the surroundings.
The entrance to the Star Ruins Ancient Road, which was just moments ago filled with deafening battle cries and soaring demonic energy, is now so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
All the monks subconsciously held their breath, even their breathing became cautious.
Those figures that were originally restless and ready to act were now frozen in place.
A multitude of gazes, some filled with fear, others with awe, and still others with suspicion, were all cast upon the white-robed elder who had suddenly appeared and effortlessly stopped the Blood Demon Lord.
The old man was dressed in a plain white Taoist robe, spotless, his clothes fluttering slightly in the wind, yet he exuded no air of worldly affairs.
He stood there quietly in the void, and although he was just standing there casually, he calmed down the atmosphere of the entire star field.
Among the crowd, someone, unable to contain the turmoil in their heart, lowered their voice and asked with a slight tremor.
"This, this is... does anyone recognize this person?"
After he finished speaking, there was silence all around.
Many cultivators looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.
Those who come to the Star Ruins Ancient Road to compete for inheritance are all powerful figures in their respective star fields, and their knowledge is undoubtedly extensive.
However, the aura of the white-robed old man before them was unfathomable, and they could not detect even the slightest bit of information about him.
Someone hesitated before speaking.
"Judging from the style of that robe... it seems to be the clothing of an ancient god."
"wrong."
Immediately, someone shook their head in denial, their tone resolute.
"The robes of the ancient gods are plain in color, yet embroidered with a sky full of stars, symbolizing the protection of the stars. But this person's robe only has flowing cloud patterns, extremely simple and elegant, definitely not belonging to the ancient gods. It should be..."
All eyes turned to a man with a powerful aura standing in the crowd.
The man was dressed in silver-gray armor, his posture was as straight as a spear, and the sound of a wolf howling could be heard from his eyes as they opened and closed.
It was the howling of the heavenly wolf against the moon.
Tianlang Xiaoyue was infamous in the Xinghe region, his power and influence far surpassing that of ordinary people.
At this moment, Tianlang Xiaoyue slowly narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the white-robed elder repeatedly before speaking slowly and deliberately.
"If I am not mistaken... this person should be the Supreme Elder of the Cloud Soaring Immortal Sect in the North Star River Region—True Lord Cloud Abyss!"
"What?! True Monarch Yunyuan?!"
A short sentence, like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploded in the crowd!
Everyone present paled and gasped in shock.
True Lord Yunyuan!
This name is renowned throughout the entire starry sky, its fame resounding like thunder!
Those were true Mahayana Realm experts standing at the pinnacle of the star field!
The Mahayana Realm is a height that countless cultivators cannot reach even in their entire lives.
An era when true immortals disappeared
The Great Ascension Realm is undoubtedly a giant, an unparalleled existence whose word can determine the rise and fall of a star field.
Three hundred years ago, an ancient demon god awakened deep in the starry sky. He was ferocious and slaughtered a star field in his path, causing devastation and shattering stars wherever he went.
Even several veteran experts at the Thunder Tribulation Realm were swallowed up in one gulp.
At that time, everyone in the entire northern region was in danger, and no one dared to take the lead.
It was True Monarch Yunyuan who made the move.
There was no earth-shattering battle, no protracted struggle.
Just three moves.
Within three moves, the ancient demon that had been wreaking havoc on the star field was completely suppressed and sealed in the deepest part of the Northern Ice Prison. To this day, it still cannot escape even a step.
In that battle, the name of True Monarch Yunyuan resounded throughout the galaxy.
"No wonder...no wonder even a demon like the Blood Demon Lord is wary of him..."
"A Mahayana Realm expert...that's a true cosmic behemoth!"
"With True Monarch Yunyuan here, who would dare to be presumptuous today? Even the demons would probably have to obediently restrain their claws."
The crowd whispered among themselves, their voices filled with awe and relief.
The heart that had been in my throat because of the Blood Demon Lord's intervention finally settled down.
With such an unparalleled powerhouse in charge, at least before the Nine Revolutions Star Tower opens, they don't have to worry about being innocently dragged into the war between gods and demons and ending up dead.
Amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd, True Lord Yunyuan remained standing with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, his eyes sweeping across the entire scene with a serene composure.
His eyes were gentle, yet they carried an inherent air of authority.
Wherever his gaze fell, whether human cultivators, powerful demons, or ferocious monsters, all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
"Gentlemen."
Yunyuan Zhenjun spoke slowly, his voice calm and gentle.
"Since you have all come here for the ancient heritage of the Star Ruins Ancient Road, then each of you should stay in your place and rely on your own abilities. Do not kill each other wantonly here, causing widespread suffering and ruining the peace of the ancient ruins."
His tone was calm, yet no one dared to disobey him in the slightest.
"Once the Nine Revolutions Star Tower officially opens, you will enter the tower and compete for opportunities. Your life and death will be left to fate. I will not interfere in the slightest."
He paused slightly, and Yunyuan Zhenjun's gaze suddenly sharpened.
"but."
"Before the tower gates open, if anyone dares to make a move, stir up trouble, stain this place with blood, and sever the path of inheritance..."
The words were not finished, but a chilling aura had already permeated the entire void.
The next moment, he flicked his sleeve lightly, seemingly casually, yet the entire starry sky suddenly darkened.
Meanwhile, thunderclouds gathered in the heavens, and several thick, pillar-like bolts of divine lightning materialized out of thin air, slowly swirling above everyone's heads, flashing with lightning and displaying immense divine power.
The terrifying power contained within that thunder far surpassed the nine tribulations experienced by ordinary cultivators.
This caused all the Thunder Tribulation Realm experts present to feel their hearts tremble and their souls to shake slightly.
Even a sliver of residual power made them feel that they were no match for him.
This is the power of the Mahayana Realm!
"I will obey the True Lord's decree!"
"We dare not disobey!"
Everyone bowed in unison and responded in unison, their voices perfectly synchronized, and they dared not make the slightest move.
The tense atmosphere vanished instantly, and everyone obediently concealed their aura, quietly waiting for the Nine Revolutions Star Tower to open.
The Blood Demon Lord's face turned pale and then red, eventually becoming so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.
He gave Yunyuan Zhenjun a deep look, a hint of resentment and fear flashing in his scarlet eyes. In the end, he snorted coldly, not daring to make a move, and turned back to the demon camp.
Faced with absolute power, even if he harbored overwhelming killing intent, he could only temporarily restrain himself.
Behind him, several powerful demons with fierce auras immediately gathered around.
One of the demon generals, clad in blood-red armor, lowered his voice, his eyes gleaming with cruelty and greed, and spoke urgently.
“Your Majesty, Ye Yang and the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal are right before our eyes, with few helpers. Why don’t we take advantage of the chaos and kill them both, avenging the loss of the Star Sea Demon Realm?” “Silence!”
Blood Demon Lord turned around abruptly, unleashing a burst of violent demonic power that slammed down on his opponent.
"If you're looking to die, don't drag me down with you!"
The demonic cultivator trembled under the pressure of the terrifying demonic power, his knees buckled, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
"Your subordinate knows his mistake! Your subordinate spoke recklessly! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
The Blood Demon Lord snorted coldly, withdrew his demonic power, and swept his gaze coldly around.
"Since True Monarch Yunyuan has stepped forward, he has set a strict rule. Before the Nine Revolutions Star Tower opens, anyone who dares to make a move will be openly provoking a Mahayana Realm expert, angering the heavens, and will surely die! Even I, this lord, have no chance of winning!"
He paused, then turned his gaze back to Ye Yang and the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal not far away. His eyes lingered on Ye Yang for a moment, and a cruel and sinister smile slowly crept onto his lips.
"but……"
"Once you enter the Nine Revolutions Star Tower, it will be a completely different story."
As soon as he finished speaking, Blood Demon Lord remained calm and casually raised one hand, flicking his fingertips almost imperceptibly.
A tiny, fine, almost invisible stream of blood-red light flew silently from his fingertip, twisting and turning in the void like a ghost, and flew silently toward Ye Yang.
The crimson streak trembled slightly in the air and instantly transformed into an eight-legged, transparent demonic worm that was as thin as a hair, pitch black, and almost blended into the void.
The demonic insect flapped its wings silently, landing precisely in the folds of Ye Yang's sleeve, instantly disappearing as if it had never existed.
This is no ordinary tracking of demonic energy.
Rather, it was the 'Blood Demon Soul Devouring Gu' he refined using the blood of the Milky Way.
This Gu is extremely strange. It is made from the essence and blood of the demon race. Once it possesses someone, it will quietly sneak into the host's body and lie dormant.
Normally there are no abnormal fluctuations. Even if divine sense sweeps over it, it will only be regarded as ordinary dust and will not be detected by any detection supernatural power.
And as long as he has a thought, he can clearly sense the host's location through this Soul-Devouring Gu.
Even when separated by thousands of miles, it can track accurately without any errors.
Just now, while everyone's attention was drawn to True Monarch Yunyuan, Blood Demon Lord had already secretly used his divine sense to investigate Ye Yang's background without making a sound.
"Mid-stage Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm..."
“Once inside the tower, even if the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal is incredibly strong, she can't protect him every single moment…”
He didn't continue speaking, but the murderous intent and greed in his words were already evident.
The powerful demons around him understood immediately and lowered their heads.
In the distance, Ye Yang stood beside the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal, his posture upright, his gaze calm as he looked at the Nine Revolutions Star Tower that stood tall and far in the Milky Way.
The tower is ancient and imposing, engraved with countless ancient runes. Each line contains a vast aura of immortality, inspiring awe in those who behold it.
The nine-story pagoda, layer upon layer, pierces the depths of the Milky Way, as if connecting the celestial realm and the mortal world.
Unbeknownst to him, a tiny, black worm, almost blending into his robes, was silently lurking on his sleeve.
After all, the Blood Demon Soul Devouring Gu is a secret and forbidden technique of the Demon Clan, and it is extremely well concealed.
Unless one is a true master of demonic arts or a powerful expert in Gu poison, it would be impossible for them to see through it.
"Fellow Daoist."
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal's sword aura was contained, and his voice gently reached Ye Yang's ears.
"The sudden intervention of True Monarch Yunyuan actually did us a great favor."
"The Blood Demon Lord just now unleashed a furious attack with overwhelming power. If a real battle were to break out, it would undoubtedly consume a large amount of his cultivation and spiritual energy, and he might even be injured. This would be extremely disadvantageous for his upcoming entry into the Star Tower to seize the treasures."
Ye Yang nodded slightly, his expression remaining calm, but his brows furrowed slightly, a hint of unease creeping into his heart.
"You're right, senior."
He responded softly.
"But... I don't know why, but I always feel like something's not right."
"Oh?"
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal glanced sideways.
"What makes you say that, fellow Daoist?"
"That Blood Demon Lord retreated too quickly and too decisively."
Ye Yang's gaze sharpened slightly as he looked towards the direction of the demon camp, his voice low and deep.
"Given the demons' ferocious nature, even if they feared True Monarch Yunyuan, they wouldn't give up so easily. They would at least have threatened him verbally or secretly sabotaged things. Besides, look at his eyes just now..."
He didn't continue speaking, but the chilling feeling of being targeted by a venomous snake lingered in his heart, refusing to dissipate.
His intuition has always been sharp, especially in life-or-death battles. This inexplicable sense of crisis often foreshadows impending danger.
But before he could think about it further...
Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed through the void!
"Boom!!!"
It was as if the entire galaxy was trembling!
The Nine-Turn Star Tower, which had stood in the starry sky for countless years, suddenly burst forth with an extremely dazzling light that illuminated the entire star field!
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—seven divine lights soared into the sky like seven colorful pillars, piercing the clouds and illuminating the originally dim star field as if it were daytime!
And at the very top of the tower.
A pure, flawless, and boundless white light burst forth, like a true primordial sun descending, illuminating the entire universe and overwhelming all the heavens!
An ancient and desolate aura surged forth from the tower like a tsunami.
It seemed to carry the supreme Daoist aura, profound, majestic, and awe-inspiring.
"It's open! The Nine Revolutions Star Tower has finally opened!"
"The opportunity is right before our eyes! We can rise to the top in one step, right now!"
"Charge! The first to reach the tower gains the upper hand!"
The cultivators present went completely mad, no longer caring about maintaining their composure.
The restlessness that had been suppressed because of True Monarch Yunyuan erupted completely at this moment.
The massive gate of the Nine Revolutions Star Tower slowly opened inwards amidst the excited gazes of the crowd.
A portal large enough to accommodate dozens of people at the same time appeared before everyone's eyes.
"go!"
It's unclear who was the first to let out a roar.
Instantly, dozens of figures transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the tower gate like madmen!
Howling Sirius, Ghost Hand Rakshasa, Blood Demon Lord...
One after another, renowned experts at the Tribulation Realm abandoned their status and dignity, unleashing their full cultivation power, all in an effort to be at the forefront.
With opportunity and opportunity at hand, no one wants to fall behind.
Blood Demon Lord snorted coldly, and led a group of powerful demons, their demonic energy surging and turning into rolling demonic clouds. With a whoosh, they rushed into the tower gate.
Yunyuan Zhenjun stood in the void, looking at the scene before him, shook his head slightly, and showed a calm expression.
People die for wealth, birds die for food, and cultivators are even more willing to disregard everything for the sake of inheriting the Great Dao. (End of Chapter)
