“To think you dared to destroy two of my demonic thoughts back then. Now, I’m going to destroy all of you!” The demonic shadow’s roar shook Heaven and Earth, making the Taiyi Holy Land remble.

Ling Ran’s beautiful face was pale. Although she was now a Qiyao realm King and a Holy Lord who could be on the same level as the major factions, she was far too inferior compared to the demonic figure before her that seemed to block out the sun.

However, Ling Ran was not afraid. She said softly, “Activate the Holy Land’s array!”

As an immortal Holy Land, the Taiyi Holy Land had many ancient Sages. Naturally, a powerful Sage-level array had been set up around it.

Boom! Boom!

With that, an array that enveloped the Taiyi Holy Land rose. It was like a giant upside-down bowl as it isolated the demonic shadow from the outside world.

“Sacrifice the Sage weapon!” Ling Ran continued to give orders. In the depths of the Taiyi Holy Land, a blazing light soared into the sky and dispersed most of the endless demonic fog. It was filled with extremely terrifying Sage might.

It was a Sage weapon. It had been awakened, and it shone with brilliant Sage light. It was like a sun, fighting against the demonic shadow.

Ten supreme elders raised the ancient Sage weapon together, providing an unending stream of divine power as they attacked the demonic shadow.

“A Sage weapon? Hahaha, it just so happens that I don’t have a weapon now, and you’ve given one to me just like that!” The demonic shadow laughed heartily. Facing the ancient Sage weapon that was scorchingly bright like the sun, he extended his demonic hand and grabbed the weapon.

“You’re looking for death!” The ten supreme elders roared and worked together to provide more divine power to destroy the demonic shadow.

However, it was all for naught. The Sage weapon struggled, but it was still firmly grasped by the demonic figure’s hand, unable to break free.

In the end, the demonic shadow laughed coldly, and the Sage halo that the Sage weapon had been giving off was shattered. The ten supreme elders who had revived shrieked miserably before being crushed into pieces. Their bodies and souls were destroyed, becoming the demonic Shadow’s food.

“Supreme elders!” The Holy Land disciples wept in grief. Although they were angry, they were filled with despair and helplessness as they looked at the monstrous demonic figure!

Even though Ling Ran was grieving, her expression did not change. She let out a soft shout and took the initiative to ride a Sage weapon and soar into the sky.

As an immortal Holy Land that had once been at its peak, the Taiyi Holy Land’s foundation was naturally not bad. They had more than one Sage weapon. And now, the Holy Lord was taking the initiative to use their second Sage weapon to fight against the great demon.

At the same time, the previous Holy Lord, Lu Xuan, who had been in seclusion, was also alarmed and came out. He rushed into the sky together with Ling Ran and the two Holy Lords worked together to control the Sage weapon and fight.

However, with a roar from the demonic figure, Ling Ran and Lu Xuan felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Their bodies flew backward like kites with broken strings as they vomited blood as red as plum blossoms.

The gap was too great. The two of them were only Qiyao realm Kings, and even with a Sage weapon, they were far from being a match for the Demon King.

“Holy Lord!” Everyone in the Holy Land cried out in grief. Nothing should happen to the Holy Lord!

Kacha!

All of a sudden, in the deepest part of Taiyi Holy Land, a terrifying Sage light soared into the sky, accompanied by unparalleled Sagely might.

This gave the Holy Land hope again.

The Holy Land’s foundation had recovered!

Taiyi Holy Land had produced many ancient Sages in the past. Some of the ancient Sages’ lifespans hadn’t been exhausted and there was still some time before their time was up, but to protect the Taiyi Holy Land, they were willing to be sealed by the Divine Spirit Source until they would finally reappear in this era.

Now that the Taiyi Holy Land was on the verge of being destroyed, the ancient Sage, who was the foundation of the Holy Land, had naturally recovered.

The ancient Sage looked very old. He was about to die and his skin was crumpled like the bark of a tree. His body emitted a decaying aura. Although he had not passed away, he did not have much lifespan to speak of. At most, he could only live for a few decades.

Now, he had been forced to come into being. With a sigh, he gained control of an ancient Sage weapon.

Under everyone’s eyes, the Sage weapon was restored to its extreme. The power of the Sage path was so mighty that it even dispersed the demonic power. This made countless people in the Taiyi Holy Land full of excitement. They knelt and shouted, “Respected Sage ancestral master!”

The demonic figure looked at the Sage from afar, his expression unchanged. He merely said coldly, “An old man who’s about to pass away… Why didn’t you choose to enjoy your last few decades? To think you would appear and stop me! Let alone the fact that you’re about to die, even at your peak, you’re only so-so. Since you have such a death wish, I’ll send you off today!”

Boom!

The demonic shadow made a move and revived the Sage weapon in his hand as well, then attacked the Sage ancestral master of the Taiyi Holy Land.

The Sage sighed and said, “You’re a Sage, after all. You’ll be punished by the heavens if you massacre without restraint. I had no choice but to come out and stop you.”

The shockwaves from the battle between two Sages with their Sage weapons were naturally destructive. It could’ve easily caused the mountains and rivers within hundreds of miles to collapse. It was extremely terrifying.

If Ling Ran had not activated the Sage-level array and limited the attacks of the two Sages to within the Sage-level array, the destructive power of the battle between the two Sages would have caused extremely terrifying and massive destruction, and countless lives would have been plunged into misery and suffering.

Even so, the Sage-level array was still on the verge of collapse as if it was about to explode. It was terrifying.

The people from the Taiyi Holy Land fell into despair.

The old Sage was indeed very strong, but he was too old and his body was decaying. He had only the power of a Sage but couldn’t unleash his peak combat power.

The demonic shadow had just awakened from the seal, but its strength was clearly even stronger. Furthermore, it was at the prime of its life, so its power was much stronger. Thus, the old Sage was quickly suppressed by the demonic shadow, and even sustained injuries, constantly coughing up blood.

It could be seen that if this continued, the old Sage would very likely be forced to pass away in advance.

“What do we do?” Everyone in the Taiyi Holy Land was filled with despair.

It wasn’t that no one had thought of the Elder King, but no matter how strong the Elder King was, he was still a Venerable. Even the old Sage was on the verge of death, so the Elder King should be far from being the Demon King’s match.

Moreover, the Elder King was away from the Holy Land.

Boom!

The old Sage was forced back and was covered in blood. At the same time, beams of blazing holy light appeared on his body, causing the Laws of Heaven and Earth to shake as if everything was going to burn.

“Ancestral master!” In the Taiyi Holy Land, many elders and disciples were crying because the old Sage was bound to die early due to having been awakened by force and using too much of his Sage divine power.

“It doesn’t matter. I don’t have much time left anyway. It’s already good enough that I’m still alive. Even if I die, I can at least contribute one last bit to the Taiyi Holy Land. I can be considered to have no regrets!”

Boom!

With that, the old Sage’s body bloomed with waves of power that were even stronger than before. Although he was passing away, he was also forcefully tempering the blood essence in his body, forcibly recovering to the peak of his life. Even if it was only for a short moment, it was enough.

“Kill!” At this moment, the old Sage didn’t seem like an old man who was about to die. He seemed to be in his 20s or 30s. His black hair flowed and he looked extremely heroic as he charged toward the ancient Demon King.

Boom!

With an unparalleled resplendent light and an earth-shaking sound, the old Sage disappeared.

In the sky, a figure fell from the sky amidst the thick smoke. It was like a huge meteorite hitting the land of the Taiyi Holy Land, causing a terrible explosion that affected hundreds of miles.

That was the Demon King of the ancient race!

“Was he killed by the old ancestor?” Many of the elders and disciples within the Holy Land were still paying close attention to the situation of the ancient race Demon King, hoping that he would be killed.

However, very quickly, the figure of the ancient race’s Demon King soared into the skies once more. The demonic might on his body was incomparably terrifying as he looked down at the surroundings. Even though he was covered in blood, his aura was still extremely strong. He roared out in rage, “Damn old man, to think you want to drag me down with you before you die.”

Everyone in the Taiyi Holy Land was in despair. The old Sage had used his advanced death as a price to release his strongest attack, yet he still couldn’t kill the Demon King of the ancient race. The latter was still alive, and his demonic might was monstrous.

“Is the Taiyi Holy Land going to be destroyed today?” Many elders and disciples were in despair. Although they knew that there was still the Elder King, no matter how strong the Elder King was, how could he be a match for a Jiutian realm Sage Demon King? they hoped that the Elder King did not know about this and did not rush over. This way, they could preserve the seed of the Taiyi Holy Land to the greatest extent.

Boom!

At this moment, the Sage-level array that covered the Taiyi Holy Land was suddenly torn apart.

A peerless figure appeared in the sky all of a sudden. It was Qin Chen.

At the critical moment, he managed to rush back!
