Chapter 521: The Saint Master Shall Perish in the Demon Domain!
The Tribulation Treasure Ship is the supreme treasure left for the Human Clan by the First Human Emperor.
Even though the rule of dying sixty years after breaking the Ultimate Heaven was broken by him, he still foresaw the day of his demise.
Upper Heaven Ancestor Realm was the sanctuary he and the Canglong Ancestor left for that era of the Human Clan, also reserving elite warriors for future generations.
And the original intention of the Tribulation Treasure Ship was to lay the foundation for the Human Clan's cultural inheritance when the Upper Heaven Ancestor Realm could not complete it!
If the full power of this Tribulation Treasure Ship were unleashed, even the Old God might not be able to break it!
Although Li Chengdao, being alone, could not fully wield the power of the Tribulation Treasure Ship, crippling three opponents who have not yet broken the Ultimate Heaven was not a problem.
Back then, he was able to severely wound the Profound Ice Chi Dragon King, allowing Lin Yan to slay the dragon and kill that entity who had broken the Ultimate Heaven.
And today, it's not that Li Chengdao couldn't destroy these three great enemies.
It's just that he wanted to leave it to Lin Yan!
——
"So from the beginning, the Saint Master did not intend to fight a battle against us nine..."
Duke Wei Ling's eyes were dim as he said, "He merely stalled us to let you heavily wound those three beings of the Nine Heavens Saint Realm!"
"To be precise, it was to ensure you don't disturb the old master so he could accurately judge the timing and angle, preventing them from being completely obliterated by a too-heavy strike!"
Li Chengdao said calmly, "After all, the Saint Master wants to personally cut them down..."
This oldest entity of Upper Heaven, holding the Old God's Magical Objects, unless facing an evil entity that has broken the Ultimate Heaven, is enough to sweep current times.
So he seemed quite at ease, continuing, "Earlier, you should be glad you couldn't break the Saint Master's defensive magic treasure! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to hold back and would have had to go all out, blasting you all to death!"
As his voice fell, Li Chengdao formed a hand seal, tossing out an object, which turned out to be the Ten Directions Sealed Thunder Net obtained from the Taiyin Thunder Envoy.
This vast net, an Old God's Magical Object, was cast over a thousand miles of land under Li Chengdao's control.
The nine great evils, who had been fearing and preparing to flee, felt their hearts sink at this moment.
From the very beginning, they were the prey within the net!
If they hadn't been greedy earlier, they might have escaped.
But the Saint Master had used himself as bait, drawing them to this place.
Now, facing this ancient ancestor of Upper Heaven and this magical object covering a thousand miles, they, the great fish hooked, were entirely netted.
——
In the Holy Land of the Great Liao.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Hong Xiao looked into the distance and said, "In the direction of the Rejuvenation Pool, can the Saint Master suppress the numerous ancient evils in their slumber?"
"Li Lao following the Saint Master, with our Upper Heaven's Tribulation Treasure Ship, even if it can't fully unleash its power, as long as the Old Gods do not intervene, there will be no unexpected changes!"
The Great Saint Yi Feng said solemnly, "The Profound Ice Chi Dragon King, who has broken the Ultimate Heaven, has also perished overseas. We need not worry about the situation there! The Saint Master is the one our Upper Heaven has awaited and will not easily perish here!"
The Tribulation Treasure Ship is the current strongest asset of Upper Heaven.
With this Tribulation Treasure Ship at their side, the five Human Martial Saints of Upper Heaven are not worried about the battle's outcome there.
What they worry about is whether the soldiers of the Holy Alliance and the South Mountain Sacred Land can preserve their strength during Deceit Night and avoid significant losses.
"Conquering the Demon Domain and seizing a thousand miles of territory was not a difficult task in the past..."
Hong Xiao, well aware of the concerns of the five Human Martial Saints, said in a deep voice, "The difficulty lies in stabilizing the victory! In the past, we only withdrew before nightfall... Now setting camp in the Demon Domain is unprecedented. Hopefully, there won't be heavy casualties tonight, at least nothing to impact tomorrow's continued offensives!"
The Great Saint Yi Feng said solemnly, "According to the plan, we need to swiftly open the Demon Domain, merge with the Taixuan Divine Mountain garrison, and then eliminate the remnants of the evil!"
"Though night has fallen, we must not lower our guard!"
"Since breaking through the Great Liao Holy Land, we should spread out, each leading an army."
"However, many ancient evils lie dormant within the Demon Domain, as well as the newly emerged Heavenly Demons and Holy Spirits. We are not invincible and cannot storm through recklessly... Everyone must be careful and cautious."
Saying this, the Great Saint Yi Feng chuckled and said, "The prosperous world we wish to see has yet to materialize... Having emerged after many years of slumber for less than a month, don't want to fall now!"
"It's only natural!"
The middle-aged noble woman of Upper Heaven said calmly, "This palace has been asleep till now, merely to witness the Saint Master's style, see how he leads future Human Clans to break the era of Deceit Night! The Saint Master's great endeavor is not yet complete; how can this palace dare to battle to the death?"
"The same goes for this junior!"
The youngest Martial Saint of Upper Heaven, appearing to be over thirty with sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, said with confidence, "This junior awaits the arrival of a great age to showcase prowess and achieve feats, to live up to the predecessors, not waiting to die in battle!"
As his voice fell, the five Great Saints of Upper Heaven had already dispersed in all directions.
Hong Xiao divided this expeditionary army into six routes to the Demon Domain.
Including himself and the five Human Martial Saints of Upper Heaven, each led troops to attack.
With a Human Martial Saint, it's like having a pillar reaching the sky, stabilizing the army's morale.
Otherwise, the commanders of each route wouldn't be strong enough, spreading fear, like a headless dragon.
Each route having its Human Martial Saint ensures that even when facing formidable enemies, they will not be crushed like a colony of ants!
Similarly, a Human Martial Saint like himself becomes even more powerful with the support of the army's battle formations!
"With the backing of Upper Heaven, and our Holy Alliance stationed behind as reinforcements... This great war should not be withstood by the Demon Domain if the Old Gods remain inactive!"
