"What happened?"
"Was the demon race's Mahayana Emperor Demon attacked?"
Accompanied by that roar and scream, the people of the Star-Sea looked at each other in confusion. What was happening outside the Star-Sea world? The Mahayana Emperor Demon who had just struck had been attacked?
That was a Mahayana-rank existence! Judging by the aura of that previous strike, only Meng Tianqi with his Demon Blade would have had a sliver of a chance to resist. Yet, this terrifying being had let out a scream-filled roar in the blink of an eye.
Everyone turned to Ji Qingyue, as she was the only one present who had stepped out of the passage before.
Ji Qingyue understood their gaze and shook her head. "Outside the passage of the Star-Sea is an endless void where no life or space can be seen. At most, void calamities appear occasionally, but they shouldn't threaten a Mahayana existence... so I don't know what happened either."
The clue was lost again.
Meng Tianqi soon spoke up. "I will guard this place. You all take the Star-Emperor back to the Nine Domains to recover. Keep the spatial teleportation array open at all times; I will notify you if there are any problems."
"Our enemies might not just be the demons. That scream just now might have come from the Heaven Dragon World taking action. The Star-Emperor said the demons' appearance was likely due to the Heaven Dragon World's interference. So, return and recuperate immediately. The Star-Emperor can be placed at the core of the Seven-Colored Immortal Vein."
"Also, do not neglect the comprehension of the Azure Spirit Army Formation. The Heaven Dragon World is much stronger than this branch of the demons. If they invade, they possess a portion of our world's mark and can bypass the activation of the World-Domain battlefield. Against them, we can only fight with everything we have using the formation."
Everyone found his words reasonable and had no objections. Having experienced this world-level war, everyone's mind was exhausted to the limit. They truly needed a period of stability to recover and digest the gains from the battle.
"Then we trouble Senior Meng and Senior Bai!"
With respect, everyone cupped their fists toward Meng Tianqi and the Demon Blade before stepping into the teleportation array and leaving.
With Meng Tianqi and the Demon Blade guarding this place, few below the Mahayana rank would be able to step into the Star-Sea world.
Most left quickly, but a beautiful woman in a blood-colored treasure dress remained outside the City of Fallen Immortals, unwilling to even step into the city.
"Hall Master Nan, why are you still staying outside the city?" Meng Tianqi knew her identity, but he didn't understand why she wouldn't go back to rest when she looked so exhausted and pained.
Sister Nan showed a look of helplessness. "Senior Meng, it's not that I don't want to. It's because of these Forbidden Blood-Yu Insects, ranked among the top three taboo insects..."
As Sister Nan told her story, shock appeared on Meng Tianqi's face.
"There are such terrifying insects? Even your evolved Supreme Spirit Insect King Physique cannot suppress their will?"
After his shock, Meng Tianqi fell into deep thought. After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"If you only need to suppress their acquisition of consciousness, perhaps he can help you."
Suddenly, a pitch-black, heaven-slaying Demon Blade descended, enveloping the Forbidden Blood-Yu Insects Sister Nan was presenting. A boundless, unbridled demonic intent erupted, frantically invading the insects!
This was a horrific demonic intent that could remain indestructible even within a Time Domain, and it was at the Unity stage! Facing this intent, the previously dormant Forbidden Blood-Yu Insects actually woke up instantly, and a powerful, violent blood-colored aura erupted.
Sister Nan suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood! The suppression of the Supreme Spirit Insect King Physique had been broken again!
She looked at the insects breaking free from her control once more with eyes full of shock and fear. 'Weren't these insects suppressed by the power of the Heavenly Heart Asura Sword? That shouldn't have been a lie...'
"Were these insects hiding their strength?"
Looking at the insects erupting under the demonic intent, Sister Nan couldn't help but swallow. What kind of monsters had been cultivated?
It was fortunate she hadn't dared to return to the Nine Domains. If these insects escaped her control there, who knew what unpredictable catastrophe would follow? The entire Star-Sea world would likely fall into a disaster.
However, under the horrific intent of the Demon Blade, the Forbidden Blood-Yu Insects finally could no longer hide. They had to explode with their full power! Under this power, even the Demon Blade's intent was pushed back slightly.
This process lasted for less than a breath before that power was crushed by the continuous surge of demonic intent. But that single breath was enough to stun Meng Tianqi and Sister Nan. These insects hadn't even reached the Soul Transformation stage yet! What level was the Demon Blade?
These insects were far too monstrous!
Even more startling was that under the crushing weight of the demonic intent, the consciousness and physical bodies of the insects began to dissipate rapidly... leaving only a few extremely dangerous, cone-shaped red substances that looked like insect eggs.
By this point, no matter what the Demon Blade did, it could not cause a single bit of damage to the final red substances. Everyone could feel that within these eggs, there was still an amazing vitality and activity.
"Monsters!"
"Even the Demon Blade cannot kill these things?"
Sister Nan and Meng Tianqi saw the shock in each other's eyes. Left with no choice, Sister Nan could only try to suppress them with the Supreme Spirit Insect King Physique again. Meanwhile, Meng Tianqi and the Demon Blade set up a demonic intent seal and a Life-Death Domain seal around the red eggs to prevent the monsters from erupting and escaping to cause a disaster in the Star-Sea.
Only then did the backlash Sister Nan suffered from the insects finally stop.
Outside the Star-Sea world, three Mahayana-rank Demon Emperors were intercepted by nine Mahayana-rank cultivators and surrounded.
"What do you want? Does the Heaven Dragon World intend to go to war with the demons?" a demon dragon, looking eighty percent similar to the black demon dragon, roared with indignation. However, its scales were currently shattered, and one of the horns on its head had been broken, leaving it bloodied and pathetic.
"Go to war? If you demons have the guts to come to our Heaven Dragon World, then feel free!"
"However, if you are willing to hand over the things you obtained from the Star-Sea world, we might consider letting you leave."
