Realm-Hopping Martial Master

Unlike the former, Tang Yi had just made a breakthrough in his cultivation. His realm was not yet fully stabilized, and he had only mastered one Great Dao. His combat power was limited. If it were used to intimidate juniors of the Nirvana Realm, it would certainly not be difficult, but he clearly did not want to engage with someone of the same realm at the moment to prevent unforeseen circumstances from destroying the fruit of years of hard cultivation.

Fortunately, Zong Yue, newly advanced to the Vientiane Realm, was present. Tang Yi had no doubt about his terrifying strength.

With thoughts churning in his mind, Tang Yi couldn't help but look at Zong Yue, his gaze carrying a hint of inquiry as he slowly spoke:

"Daoist Monarch Qingtian, what do you think of this..."

Zong Yue stood with his hands behind his back, perceiving the Yin Sha Qi continually approaching this place, and responded calmly:

"It's nothing to worry about. Judging by the aura, it seems to be someone who has gained some opportunity in the ruins. Just entering the Vientiane Realm, such strength can't stir up any waves."

Upon advancing to the Vientiane Realm, Zong Yue already had unwavering confidence.

Seeing him so assured, Tang Yi's heart immediately settled, then he laughed heartily and agreed:

"Haha, that's right, that's right. In front of Daoist Monarch Qingtian, if one hasn't settled in the Vientiane Realm for a hundred years, how dare they act rashly, let alone a newly advanced Daoist Monarch."

Listening to their inexplicable conversation and conduct, the people around from the Eight Great Sects were all puzzled, not understanding the situation.

From afar, those Nirvana Realm Peak True Monarchs naturally couldn't know what was happening outside the canyon.

However, their doubts didn't last long, as they were completely dispelled by a sudden stern shout that echoed across the sky above the canyon!

"Juniors of the Eight Great Sects, come out and face death!"

Roaring sound waves mixed with surging Primordial Power fluctuations crashed down from above, dispersing the surging black fog in the canyon, transmitting into the Demon Lord's tomb, causing the towering Inheritance Hall inside to shake violently.

Upon hearing the voice filled with violent killing intent, especially feeling the vast oppressive force descending, the lips of the several Elders from the Eight Great Sects present couldn't help but twitch, clearly familiar with this Yin Soul aura.

"This voice should be that old ghost Li Hun from the Demon Sect. He had attempted to advance to the Vientiane Realm before but failed, and then reincarnated. Unexpectedly, in this life, he has proved the Great Dao."

"But what is this old ghost Li Hun thinking? Just because he's in the Vientiane Realm, does he think he can sweep through the ruins?"

"The Vientiane Realm is indeed powerful, but he couldn't have expected that our side's True Inheritor has also advanced to the Vientiane Realm."

Following those final words, the atmosphere inside the Inheritance Hall became peculiarly tense, with all eyes focusing on Zong Yue, each with different expressions.

If that old ghost Li Hun had arrived a few days earlier, he might have caused them a great deal of trouble, but now...

One can only say that it's bad luck for him.

Above the Great Tomb Canyon, countless Yin Souls howled and spread out, drifting through the clouds, emitting an endless chilling aura. The slightly hunched and emaciated figure of Demon Sect's Elder Li Hun emerged from among them, with his wide black robe fluttering in the wind, the oppressive power of the Vientiane Realm no longer withheld as it resounded across the heavens and the earth.

Overlooking the Demon Lord's tomb below, Elder Li Hun's slender and chilling eyes slowly narrowed, the blood-red gaze brimming with sinister killing intent, the arrogance on his ancient face unequivocally apparent.

Behind him, the accompanying Demon Sect old monsters stood in formation, staring coldly at those below, the bloodthirsty gleam in their eyes flickering incessantly.

And just after Elder Li Hun's cold shout resounded, there was suddenly movement in the surging black fog within the canyon.

Buzz buzz!

More than a dozen figures enveloped in vast Primordial Power burst forth from within, stepping directly into the void, their oppressive force spreading like a tidal wave, confronting the Demon Sect's people from afar.

"Haha, if it were any later, this old man would have thought you juniors didn't dare to come out and only cared about finding ways to escape."

The blood-red gaze swept over the figures that had appeared, and Elder Li Hun let out a series of cold laughs, just about to continue his mocking remarks, but when his gaze fell on the central towering figure, it suddenly rippled violently, leaving him speechless!

Large beads of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, trickling down his temples and brows. Elder Li Hun tightly fixed his gaze on the opposing Zong Yue, his pupils trembling fiercely!

To his astonishment, with his current profound cultivation at the Vientiane Realm, he couldn't see through the aura within Zong Yue at this moment or determine its level!

And this could only mean one thing: Zong Yue's current cultivation surpasses him, a Daoist Monarch of the Vientiane Realm!

For many years, to the True Inheritors and Elders of the Demon Sect, the name Zong Yue of the Dao Yi Sect and Zong Qingtian was well-known, recognized by all. Before venturing deep into the relics of the Demon Sect, Elder Li Hun was likewise at the Nirvana Realm Peak, naturally quite aware of the gap between him and Zong Yue.

Originally, taking advantage of his time in the relics to cultivate longer and advance to the Vientiane Realm, Li Hun intended to seize the opportunity to strike and deal a heavy blow to the Eight Great Sects before they could gain a foothold.

Yet he could never have anticipated that in such a short time, Zong Yue would be able to fully comprehend the Dao Origin and become a Vientiane Realm Daoist Monarch of the same tier!

It must be understood that the gap at the Nirvana Realm would only widen further upon reaching the Vientiane Realm. Knowing himself, Elder Li Hun realized he posed little threat to Zong Yue—and had hardly any means of resistance!

Meeting Elder Li Hun's gaze, as his expression drastically changed, Zong Yue's face remained impassive, meeting his gaze with resolute eyes, speaking calmly:

"Li Hun, did you just say you wanted us to come out and face death?"

Hearing these words, Elder Li Hun's body shivered violently, his gaze hurriedly shifted away from Zong Yue's face, a dense sense of dread rising on his aged face, faltering to find his words and covertly scanning around, seeking a means of escape.

From initial arrogance and disregard to the present alarm and timid shrinking, Elder Li Hun underwent this transition with surprising swiftness, so swift that the accompanying Demon Clan of the Demon Sect couldn't even react.

This alone gives a glimpse of just how formidable and dominating the prowess of Zong Yue and Zong Qingtian over the years has been, leaving an indelible mark in the hearts of the Nirvana Realm True Monarchs of the Demon Sect.

Seeing Li Hun remain silent, Zong Yue couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and the Primordial Power around him surged forth, the grandeur of the Vientiane Realm's oppressive force immediately swept across the sky!

In an instant, the winds surged, and the void quaked, the boundless tyrannical aura surging like a tidal wave, as if to forcefully shatter this piece of heaven and earth!

"What?! The Vientiane Realm?! This Zong Yue has also stepped into the Vientiane Realm?!"

"Hiss—"

"This, how can this be?!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The absolute oppressive feeling of domination hit them head-on. The expressions of the few Demon Sect old monsters in the rear drastically changed, their faces as pale as paper. Even the originally smoothly functioning Primordial Power within them seemed now mired in a quagmire, unable to be mobilized in the slightest!

The sound of sudden intakes of breath echoed one after another, an intense sense of impending death threat suddenly looming over the Demon Clan of the Demon Sect, causing their bodies to tremble uncontrollably, unable to hold themselves steady.

As for Elder Li Hun, caught at the center of Zong Yue's imposing pressure, although relying on his formidable cultivation to barely maintain himself, his breathing grew increasingly rapid, a trace of a bizarre flushed color rising on his face, his voice trembling, desperately wanting to escape first from this place.

"Daoist Monarch Zong, no, Daoist Monarch Qingtian, let's discuss this! Earlier it was a slip of the tongue on this old man's part; there were absolutely no intentions to make things difficult for your sect's group!"

"There are many opportunities in the ruins..."

Elder Li Hun's words were cut off directly by Zong Yue.

"Old ghost Li Hun, with the enmity between our two sects, even if you hadn't said anything, you can still forget about leaving this place alive today!"

"Today, as I advance to the Vientiane Realm, it's just the right time to first cut down a Daoist Monarch of the Demon Sect to strengthen the might of our Dao Yi Sect!"

With authoritative eyes gleaming brightly, Zong Yue's voice resonated with a sullen coldness, his steadfast expression already extremely stern, and the power of the four vast Great Daos within him roared out instantly!
