Realm-Hopping Martial Master

"The Vientiane Realm is indeed profound. I have yet to fully comprehend the Power of Great Dao, yet I can already unleash such unparalleled strength."

"If I can quickly refine and master the remaining six Great Dao Embryos, I wonder to what level my strength will advance."

Inwardly pondering, feeling the surging vast Power of Great Dao within, a hint of satisfaction unconsciously appeared on Zong Yue's resolute face.

Beside him, after everyone finished speaking, Daoist Monarch Jin Feng, Tang Yi, slightly flickered his eyes and turned to Zong Yue, asking:

"Daoist Monarch Qingtian, this Li Hun should be one of the first True Monarch Old Monsters to enter the Ancient Demon Sect Relics. But as for the True Inheritor of Demon Sect who entered with us and the Demon Race prince, I wonder where they are now. In your view, what should we do next?"

Within the seemingly plain tone, there was a faint sense of seeking instruction.

Although Tang Yi was the first to reach the Vientiane Realm, as the saying goes, in the path of cultivation, the accomplished take the lead. Now that both of their cultivation realms are equal, Zong Yue's strength and talent far surpass his. Once they return from the Ancient Demon Sect Relics, Zong Yue is bound to receive significant attention and usage from the senior members of the Dao Yi Sect.

Therefore, Tang Yi wisely adjusted his attitude, deferring to Zong Yue in all matters.

Upon hearing his inquiry, Zong Yue's face returned to calm, not immediately answering but instead raising an eyebrow to glance at the Demon Lord's tomb shrouded in rolling black mist below, his deep eyes glowing with an inexplicable expression.

At the end of his sight, within the Inheritance Hall, several consolidated and dormant Primordial Power auras were gently rising, especially the aura belonging to Lu Chong, which had already reached its peak, on the verge of breakthrough.

The battle over the Great Tomb had not interrupted their comprehension. It seemed that within these few days, Lu Chong would successfully break through the bottleneck and enter the Vientiane Realm.

Retracting his gaze from the hall, Zong Yue surveyed the members of the Eight Great Sects before him, stating solemnly:

"The True Inheritor Lu of the True Martial Sect and others might soon find the opportunity to break through, adding a few more Daoist Monarch level powers to our Eight Great Sects. Among the True Inheritors of the Demon Sect, only Qiu Taoguang is worth a glance, but with his foundation, even if he obtained some fortune in these relics and ascended to the Vientiane Realm, he is by no means my match."

"Why not take this time to settle some past grievances and firmly establish dominance in the Ancient Demon Sect Relics."

Hearing this, the Eight Great Sects' members simultaneously felt a chill in their hearts, and their expressions instantly turned serious.

Has the time come to have a final showdown with the Demon Sect and Demon Race forces?

As they exchanged glances, coldness appeared in their eyes, and a killing atmosphere quietly spread within the group.

Each of them concentrated their spiritual power and primordial power to the utmost extent. Once the great battle began, although they were the elite among the Nirvana Realm True Monarchs, a single misstep could still lead to their demise.

Of course, with Zong Yue leading, that possibility was greatly reduced.

They just needed to be prepared in advance and hold something in reserve.

"Leave a few here to guard those currently in comprehension; the rest, follow me to sweep the Inner Circle of these Demon Sect Relics. As for any Demon Sect and Demon Race members encountered along the way, eliminate them all to prevent future troubles!"

"Once this place is cleared, if suitable opportunities are found later, everyone can freely comprehend to enhance cultivation and break through realms without any worries!"

The killing words from Zong Yue's mouth instantly invigorated and excited the members of the Eight Great Sects.

Previously, delving into these Demon Sect Relics alongside the Demon Sect and Demon Race forces felt like a thorn in their sides, making them highly cautious and defensive to prevent any ambushes. Now, with Zong Yue leading, they no longer needed to be so constrained, which was naturally very beneficial to the Eight Great Sects.

"We will follow your command, Daoist Monarch Qingtian!"

With this thought, the group was moved, immediately responding in unison. As the excited voices echoed, the sky, swept by the raging wind, surged with layers of turbulent Primordial Power, emanating a vast and oppressive pressure.

...

Just as Zong Yue led the Eight Great Sects to start a sweeping search in the Ancient Demon Sect Relics, in a deeper part of the relics, an extremely oppressive and fierce Evil Qi was quietly undergoing change.

At the center of the Inheritance Hall in the deepest part of the Great Tomb Canyon, from the deepest passage, streams of black Evil Qi seemed to materialize, diffusing outward, and in its roaring emanated an incomparably fierce and violent aura, converging towards the figure seated at the front.

Qiu Taoguang sat upright with his eyes closed; his internal and external wounds fully healed. The space between his once pale eyebrows now harbored a sinister, enchanting black aura lingering. That black aura spread, dividing his face into bright and dark halves, like the intersection of Yin and Yang, clearly demarcated, appearing truly bizarre at a glance.

Complex and mysterious seals formed in his hands, and with long breaths, his chest slightly rose and fell, the intense Evil Qi surrounding Qiu Taoguang violently surged, turning into streams which he absorbed into his body, refining and dissipating them.

His aura grew increasingly substantial as he absorbed the boundless Evil Qi, with waves of rolling Primordial Power repeatedly crashing against the immense, invisible cultivation boundary.

"Buzz..."

As time progressed, waves of utterly sinister Evil Qi swept out, enveloping the Inheritance Hall. From the depths of the passage, an ancient monument suddenly trembled, emitting humming sounds as a towering spectral shadow, seemingly connecting heaven and earth, abruptly rose from the monument!

The massive Evil Qi contained within this shadow appeared endless. Should someone carefully sense it, they would astonishingly discover this aura far exceeded that of other Demon Lord tomb remnants within the Demon Sect Relics!

Without a doubt, the day Qiu Taoguang faced the destructive onslaught of Jiang Shu, in his desperate escape, he accidentally activated the life-preserving means left by his master. Enveloped by the ethereal, profound aura within the Jade Talisman, he was inadvertently carried right into the most precious Demon Lord's tomb within these Ancient Demon Sect Relics!

The original owner of this Great Tomb, it seemed, had reached the pinnacle of the Vientiane Realm. Such a multitude of Great Daos crisscrossed upon the ancient monument; a casual glance revealed dozens upon dozens.

Even now, faintly, a few Great Daos glowed magnificently.

But the legacy of the Great Dao, each one immensely powerful, was by no means ordinary.

Above the Inheritance Hall, that unpredictable shadow shone with pure, concentrated Power of Great Dao. In the silent void, it seemed strands of power crossed over millennia, descending from afar, ultimately coalescing around Qiu Taoguang.

Rumble!

In the next moment, the Power of Great Dao within the shadow violently erupted, causing Heaven and Earth Primordial Power to boil over. A tremendous pressure descended from the sky, even shaking the towering Inheritance Hall violently!

Subsequently, the Power of Great Dao contained within the immense shadow roared forth, almost frenzily converging into Qiu Taoguang seated below!

Torrential black clouds emerged, and lightning gathered and flickered as an astonishing aura gradually took shape, rising skyward, while a spectral Nether River, flowing with ominous Qi, eerily manifested across the firmament, aiming to pierce the heavens. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

As Qiu Taoguang received the infusion of Power of Great Dao from this Demon Lord's tomb, rapidly elevating his cultivation, it seemed the entire Ancient Demon Sect Relics responded, suddenly erupting with celestial Evil Qi from various Demon Lord tombs, resonating with each other. Terrifying Primordial Power fluctuations formed sharp Gang Wind, sweeping violently in all directions.

Even the originally dim and vast sky rippled fiercely due to this astonishing change, like a quiet lake of eons shattered by a meteorite, completely breaking the initial tranquility!

The earth trembled greatly, peaks quaked, countless jagged fissures tore open, smoke and flames soared as thunderous roars resounded, ceaseless. Everywhere the eyes met was an apocalyptic scene.
