Chapter 20

The Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation through the Nine Heavens' Respons

Luo Tian stands high in the heavens.

Overlooking the entire mountain range, the entire Divine Ruins Secret Realm is laid out before your eyes.

As the secret realm opened, the ethereal aura surrounding the Divine Ruins gradually began to rise.

The surrounding celestial aura, like a crimson-yellow curtain, enveloped the Divine Ruins.

The overflowing celestial aura extended in all directions, like four enormous wings.

This is the true face of the Divine Ruins Secret Realm.

Luo Tian was able to discern the secrets within the fragments of fate.

The Divine Ruins Secret Realm can be hidden in space, and even cultivators in the Mahayana stage cannot reach it.

The root cause is not the sect-protecting formation.

And the guardian beast of the mountain.

Just as Luo Tian saw.

An ancient mythical beast with a crimson body, four wings, and six legs.

Dijiang.

Of course, this Dijiang is not the same as that Dijiang; it is merely a divine beast that possesses the bloodline of Dijiang.

Dijiang possesses the power of space.

Before it died, it swallowed the entire Divine Ruins, thus forming this Divine Ruins Secret Realm.

It opens only once every hundred years, merely to reabsorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and maintain the remaining spatial power.

This is Luo Tian's biggest goal for this trip.

"The Divine Beast Dijiang has become an Emperor through physical cultivation, and it is difficult to shake its power with just the cultivation level of the Void Refinement Realm."

"However, I don't need its remains; I only need a trace of its bloodline and spatial power."

Luo Tian used the Xuan Tian Stepping Void Step to arrive at a nearby peak.

With a slight movement of his hand, thirty-six flying swords flew out of his storage ring and hung in the void.

"Heavenly Lock Sword Formation".

Luo Tian suddenly made a sword-finger gesture, and flying swords were scattered like stars, their sword light reflecting each other, transforming into a sword formation that locked down the world.

Having accomplished all this, Luo Tian sat cross-legged on the giant rock atop the peak, gazing at the ethereal image of Di Jiang shrouded in immortal mist.

Reflect what you see before your eyes into your primordial spirit.

Contemplate the universe.

After an unknown amount of time, the stirring in his heart awakened Luo Tian from his moment of enlightenment.

Luo Tian opened his eyes and took out a Divine Firmament Talisman from his bosom.

The amulet was emitting a faint white light.

"As expected, I've faced a life-or-death crisis, just as my fate had decreed."

……

As soon as the disciples of the Xuantian Sect entered the secret realm, they were teleported to different corners.

Fortunately, the Divine Firmament Talisman had the function of transmitting sound and locating, so everyone quickly made contact.

However, since the secret realm was too vast, the Holy Son of Tian Shu pondered for a moment and then instructed everyone to travel with their nearest fellow disciples as much as possible to seek opportunities.

Finally, they will meet again in the main hall at the center of the secret realm.

However, when everyone successfully reunited and began exploring the core area of ​​the secret realm together...

Unsurprisingly, an accident occurred.

It is unknown who triggered the restriction, but countless demonic energies surged from the ground, sealing off the entire core area.

Countless demons lunged at the group of cultivators, devouring them.

In an instant, screams erupted all around.

Many independent cultivators were devoured by the demons before they could even resist.

"Oh no! This is the Soul-Devouring Demon Array of the Netherworld Demonic Path!"

The Holy Son of Tian Shu saw through the situation and quickly gathered his junior brothers and sisters around him.

Fortunately, disciples from the Yaochi Holy Land and the Creation Holy Land were nearby to share the burden, and the three parties worked together to prevent any casualties.

However, as time went by, more and more cultivators died, and the power of the Soul Devouring Demon Array became increasingly formidable.

Finally, a demon was born who had reached or even surpassed the perfect cultivation level of the Divine Transformation Realm.

The expressions on everyone's faces turned extremely grim.

Among the disciples of the Xuantian Sect, only the Holy Son of Tian Shu has reached the perfect cultivation of the Divine Transformation Realm.

Among them are those like the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang, who only have the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

The Holy Son of Tian Shu alone cannot protect all his fellow disciples.

The sect's teleportation talisman has also lost its function due to the spatial sealing.

"Hehehe... You will all become nourishment for me..."

A sinister voice echoed through the formation.

"What kind of demon are you! If you have the guts, come out and fight us fair and square!"

Someone shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding demonic energy condensed into a strange, demonic shadow.

"Upright and honorable? What a joke! If you hadn't coveted the treasures in the hall and stolen them, I wouldn't be here."

The demonic figure laughed maniacally.

"Hahaha! Thanks to you greedy bastards, I was able to escape the seal and see the light of day again."

"In gratitude, I, in my boundless generosity, will take you into the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, to serve me for all eternity!"

Having said that, the Shadow began to manipulate the Netherworld Demons.

While harvesting the remaining souls of cultivators, they concentrated their forces on dealing with the disciples of the Xuantian Sect and the two holy lands.

A demon at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage became entangled with the Holy Son of Heavenly Pivot.

The remaining demons then turned their claws toward others with lower cultivation levels.

It seemed that everyone was about to meet with misfortune.

A mysterious sword light stretched across the crowd.

The Holy Maiden of Tianxuan used the ultimate secret techniques of Tianxuan Palace to single-handedly block nearly half of the evil spirits.

But even more evil spirits swarmed in.

Tianxuan Saintess was gradually losing ground.

"Your cultivation level is not bad, but your realm is still a bit low."

The demonic figure sneered and suddenly summoned a demon, seizing the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the Heavenly Maiden from the side.

"Die!"

not good……

Tianxuan Saintess's heart sank, but she had no time to dodge.

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, a cold shout came from the corner of the magic circle.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp shout came from another direction.

"The Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation through Thunderous Roar of the Nine Heavens!"

Click!

A bolt of purple lightning descended from the sky, like a thick ribbon, striking the demon precisely.

Boom!

With a terrifying roar, the demon's body suddenly exploded.

In the blink of an eye, it vanished into thin air.

"..."

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan was stunned.

The other disciples were also dumbfounded.

The figure that rushed out from the corner suddenly stopped.

Even the demonic shadow was not spared, staring incredulously at the spot where the thunderbolt had struck.

"Purple... Purple Heaven Divine Lightning? Why would Purple Heaven Divine Lightning appear here?!"

The Purple Heaven Divine Thunder possesses the power to ward off evil; it is no ordinary thunder magic.

Even in ancient times, few cultivators could summon this lightning.

Only the rarest geniuses in lightning magic have the opportunity to unleash it.

Among these cultivators, there was no peerless genius who specialized in thunder magic.

"Everyone!"

The call to summon divine thunder came again.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang excitedly holding up a white jade amulet.

"Don't forget the Divine Firmament Talisman our senior brother gave us! It contains his power to summon thunder!"

"That's right!"

The other disciples suddenly realized what was happening and took out the Divine Firmament Talismans given to them by Luo Tian.

"What amulet?"

The disciples of Yaochi Holy Land and Creation Holy Land were completely bewildered.

"It was just the power of a protective amulet."

Seeing this, the demonic figure became unfazed and immediately began to chuckle strangely.

"I possess countless demons; how many times can a mere talisman unleash divine lightning?"

These words served as a reminder to the Holy Son of Heavenly Pivot.

He quickly took out the Divine Firmament Talisman and simultaneously transmitted his voice to his fellow disciples.

"That demon is right, the talisman has a limited amount of divine lightning stored, so everyone must be careful... One hundred and eight bolts of divine lightning?"

The transmission from the Holy Son of Tian Shu abruptly stopped.

The amulet contains one hundred and eight divine lightning bolts.

Each bolt of divine lightning possesses the power to instantly kill a demon at the Nascent Soul stage.

"That's alright then."

No wonder they used genuine ancient jade to make amulets.

No, what was Senior Brother thinking when he stuffed so much Purple Heaven Divine Lightning inside?

The Holy Son of Tian Shu couldn't understand it for a moment.

Meanwhile, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang was already calling to her companions, a sinister smile on her face, preparing to summon lightning upon the demonic shadow.

"Fools! I'd like to see how you break my Thousand Demonic Assault!"

The demonic shadow roared in anger.

He gathered all the evil spirits that had spawned from the magic circle together.

The wailing and screaming echoed all around, terrifying everyone's souls.

"Go to hell!"

With a push of his hands, the demonic figure unleashed a torrent of evil spirits and demons that surged forth like a tsunami.

Faced with such a terrifying force, the disciples of Yaochi Holy Land and Creation Holy Land were almost in despair.

Only the members of the Xuantian Sect, holding the Divine Firmament Protector, chanted the incantation in unison.

"The Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation through Thunderous Roar of the Nine Heavens!"

Rumble!!!

In an instant, hundreds and thousands of purple lightning bolts descended from the sky.

A blinding purple light flashed.

The deafening explosion drowned out the howl of the demons.

The surging tide of demons was completely submerged in the vast and deafening thunder and lightning.
