538: Demon-controlling leader and demon envoy

The Lord of Silent Extinction Court and the Emperor Lord, who were originally in the Immortal Bridge Realm, had both reached the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, practically stepping one foot into that realm.

It could be said that as long as they were given enough time, stepping into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm in the future was a foregone conclusion.

Under the Lord of Silent Extinction Court, the Old Man Tian, Four Divine Beasts, and Four Palace Masters all had cultivation levels ranging from the early to peak Immortal Bridge Realm.

Those under the Emperor Lord were relatively weaker, but they had all entered the Immortal Bridge Realm; it was just that, apart from the Four Immortal Elders, they couldn't compare to the former.

This was quite normal, as the fundamental improvement in strength was based on breakthroughs from the original foundation, and the Lord of Silent Extinction Court's faction had a stronger foundation, so it was not surprising.

But even the people from both major forces looked at those from the Chang Sheng Sect under Lin Yan's command, their eyes still holding a trace of shock.

No other reason: compared to them, the speed of the Chang Sheng Sect members' progress was terrifying; most of them had already caught up to them, and some had even surpassed them.

Figures like Tu Qiang and Wu Kuang were among the Chang Sheng Sect members whose cultivation was relatively behind, and their talent and aptitude were also comparatively poorer, but even so, they had reached the Immortal Bridge Realm.

As for Niu Fei, Tian Hu, and other beasts, they had also progressed a considerable distance in the Immortal Bridge Realm, reaching the mid-stage.

Among the Five Great Sacred Beasts and the three Divine Generals, Xuan Hao and Qing Shan, their cultivation had reached the late stage.

Figures like Big Yellow Dog, Fire Kirin, Fire Phoenix, Fang Qingshan, Chen Tiankuang, Bai Muqing, Purple-Gold Dragon, and the last subdued Taotie, had almost all reached the peak of the Immortal Bridge Realm, which, even in today's Land of Origin, represented high-end combat power.

The most admirable of all was Luo Qinglian, who advanced rapidly, and the further he progressed, the more intense his cultivation momentum became, as if he had no bottlenecks.

His current cultivation was, without a doubt, the strongest apart from Lin Yan, having broken through to the early Quasi-Immortal Emperor stage; he was truly the Mandate of Heaven's Chosen, in every sense of the word.

At this moment, he wore a green robe, with a long sword hanging at his waist, his aura contained, exuding a transcendent worldly demeanor.

This was a quality that could only be cultivated when one's realm approached the peak of the immortal path, like a sword immortal descended to the mortal world.

"To have such a disciple, young friend, truly makes this old man envious!"

The Sovereign of the Celestial Path Sect, standing nearby, also continuously scrutinized Luo Qinglian, speaking with great emotion.

He naturally saw Luo Qinglian's extraordinary nature; although he had just entered the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, even a mid-stage Quasi-Immortal Emperor would likely be unable to do anything to him.

If nothing unexpected happened, stepping onto the peak of the immortal path and entering the Immortal Emperor Realm was only a matter of time.

"Senior, you flatter me. Your disciples are also exceptionally talented, no worse than Qinglian."

Hearing this, Lin Yan smiled faintly and said softly.

In his conversations with the other party over the years, he had learned that the Lords of the five top forces, including the Lord of Silent Extinction Hall, were all disciples of the Sovereign of the Celestial Path Sect.

It should be known that the strength of the Lords of the five top forces was comparable to peak Quasi-Immortal Emperors, and no one could say whether they would be able to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm in the future.

"Alas, the world is unpredictable. It was this old man's failure to protect them, disgracing the name of my master!"

When speaking of his five disciples, a trace of sorrow flashed across the Sovereign of the Celestial Path Sect's aged face as he sighed.

"However, this time, this old man is determined to completely drive the Heavenly Devil out of the Source Realm! Their sacrifice must not be in vain!"

The Sovereign of the Celestial Path Sect quickly put away his sorrow, his gaze sharp as he spoke.

"Young friend, if this old man's predictions are correct, the Tianmo Emperor is likely to make a move, and I sense that within the Heavenly Devil Clan's stronghold, a powerful force is about to descend."

"This Heavenly Devil Clan is truly formidable, still having powerful individuals who haven't arrived. Fortunately, young friend, you now have a multitude of strong individuals by your side, so stopping them shouldn't be difficult!"

Divine light surged in the Sovereign of the Celestial Path Sect's eyes; with his realm, he could naturally sense the approaching danger in the unseen.

"If the Heavenly Devil Clan still has reinforcements, then let Qinglian and the others handle it!"

Lin Yan also sensed that there was still power in the Heavenly Devil Clan's stronghold that had not yet appeared, but they also had means to deal with it: the two major forces of the Lord of Silent Extinction Court and the Chang Sheng Sect members who had emerged from seclusion.

With their current strength, as long as no high-level Quasi-Immortal Emperors appeared, they would be able to cope, and it could also be considered a form of tempering.

As expected, upon hearing the two's conversation, all those present, including Luo Qinglian, felt a surge of battle intent, eager to try their hand... Meanwhile, on the battlefield between the Demon Defense Alliance and the Heavenly Devil, the slaughter continued. Although the three Quasi-Immortal Emperors, the White-Robed Man and the two Blue-Purple Robed ones, fought with all their might in the Quasi-Immortal Emperor battlefield, they were still unable to contend with the three Heavenly Devil Emperors.

The latter were, after all, veteran Quasi-Immortal Emperors, and at the peak of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm. If not for certain restrictions back then, the five top forces probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the Heavenly Devil Clan, which had eight Heavenly Devil Emperors overseeing it.

"Hehe, don't waste your efforts. For you to defeat us is simply a pipe dream!"

One Heavenly Devil Emperor showed disdain. If not for the similar strength, why would the war between the Heavenly Devil and the Demon Defense Alliance have lasted for millions of years?

Fortunately, on other battlefields, under the brave fighting of the Demon Defense Alliance's powerhouses, the originally bloodthirsty and ferocious Heavenly Devil were retreating steadily, which made the Heavenly Devil Emperors particularly displeased.

But they didn't care, because they knew that soon, the other forces of their Heavenly Devil would arrive, and by then, no matter how the Source Realm beings in front of them resisted, it would be futile.

Whoosh.

Just then, a world-destroying demonic light descended from beyond the endless regions, fiercely blasting towards the White-Robed Man and the two Blue-Purple Robed Quasi-Immortal Emperors. Its might caused heaven and earth to tremble violently.

Not good!

The expressions of the White-Robed Man and the other two changed drastically, but they had no time to resist. The power of this attack had already exceeded the scope of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. Undoubtedly, this should be the doing of that existence from the Devil Clan.

In the shocked, angry, and unwilling gazes of the three, the demonic light was about to fall upon them. Once struck, even if they didn't die, they would be severely injured on the spot.

Crack.

But from behind the Demon Defense Alliance, a deep blue lightning bolt streaked across the sky at an even more terrifying speed, intercepting the demonic light just as it was about to land on the three.

The two collided, and the terrifying aftershocks still sent the three Quasi-Immortal Emperors flying, their vital energy churning, but fortunately, they did not suffer too much damage.

"Heavenly Demon Envoy, you are still so despicable!"

As the lightning and demonic light dissipated, a voice with a hint of etherealness suddenly rang out.

A young man in a blue and white long robe appeared on the field, with handsome features and light blue long hair flying freely, looking extraordinary and refined.

"Alliance Leader!"

Seeing the newcomer, the three Quasi-Immortal Emperors saluted with pleasant surprise and reverence.

This person was none other than the Yumo Alliance Leader, the strongest person in the current Source Realm, a supreme existence who had entered the Immortal Emperor Realm.

"The victor is king, the loser is bandit. What's despicable about that? From now on, the Source Realm shall be controlled by our clan!"

A cold voice came, followed by countless surging demonic clouds, and a figure slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.

It was a black-robed demonic shadow, more slender than an ordinary Devil Clan member; other than that, there wasn't much difference.

But the feeling he gave everyone was that he was the most ferocious existence between heaven and earth; once he appeared, he would shake the heavens and earth, bringing endless calamities.

He was the Heavenly Demon Envoy, who had ruled the Heavenly Devil Clan and waged war against the Source Realm for millions of years, and he had also reached the Immortal Emperor Realm.

With the two Immortal Emperors appearing together, the entire scene fell silent for a moment, and everyone watched with awe the majestic figures in the depths of the sky, shining like two great suns.
