Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The face of Aoki Ran, the head of the Aoki family, was very pale, as was the Master of the Mirage Marsh. Both lacked blood, and looked visibly weak.

Clearly, they had been shot through by the rune arrows. Although they had repaired their injured bodies, the internal wounds could not be healed so easily.

The power of the rune arrows had caused great damage to their spirit, energy, and essence. That arrow directly shot away ten thousand years of their lifespan!

As a result, slight cracks had appeared on the wheels of life of both of them, and it would take a long time to repair them.

"Two respected Soul Hunting Sovereigns, that Jun Wuxie is too arrogant. Today, he actually shot through me and the head of the Aoki family in public. How can we swallow this insult!"

The Master of the Mirage Marsh's expression was extremely gloomy. He stated that the strong experts above the Mixed Origin Holy Realm in their sect were self-sealed in the forbidden area and could not come out. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to kill Jun Wuxie. After all, with a runemaster as a backer, even Sovereigns could do nothing.

"There are killing methods planted by a runemaster in Jun Wuxie's body. The rune arrow he used to shoot us today was using the power of runes bestowed upon him by the silver-haired runemaster. If the Mixed Origin Realm experts do not come out, I am afraid only Great Sovereigns can kill him! However, tomorrow in the ranking competition, even if we can't kill him, we must force him to use the power of runes in violation of the rules! How can such a great secret realm like Azure Dragon Gorge be allowed to be won by the demon clan's Ling family, obtaining a hundred places!"

Aoki Ran's eyes were cold. They had already discussed killing Jun Wuxie in the Azure Dragon Gorge secret realm.

However, the strength Jun Wuxie displayed was too strong. Even if the power of runes in his body was erased by the formation when entering the secret realm, so that he could only use the power of martial arts, he would still be extremely difficult to deal with.

After all, only young cultivators under a hundred years old can enter the Azure Dragon Gorge secret realm, which means that to kill him, they can only rely on young cultivators to besiege him.

Therefore, if they obtain the top three places, they can send more King-level geniuses into the secret realm, making it more certain to kill Jun Wuxie.

"It would be best if he could be crippled in tomorrow's ranking competition. Even if he can't be crippled, he should at least be severely injured, making it difficult for him to recover to his peak for a long time. In that case, in the Azure Dragon Gorge secret realm, the chance of killing him will be higher."

The Teng Snake Demon Lord suggested this.

The head of the Lingyun family said: "The problem now is not whether we want to severely injure him in tomorrow's ranking competition, but how to do it. Among our King-level geniuses within a hundred years, no one can compete with him, the gap is not small. Under such circumstances, even if we take turns in a battle of attrition, we will not be able to achieve our desired goal, but will be defeated by him one by one."

"Therefore, we request the assistance of the two Soul Hunting Sovereigns! With the powerful methods of your temple, there must be a way to greatly increase the strength of our people in a short time!"

Aoki Ran stated the purpose of their gathering to meet the two Soul Hunting Sovereigns.

"Of course there are ways, but the price is not small, it depends on whether you are willing."

The Soul Hunting Sovereign's dark eyes stared at them.

These eyes had no whites, all ink black. Looking at them like this made them feel a burst of palpitations. Coupled with the Soul Hunting Sovereign's sovereign pressure, Aoki Ran and others couldn't help but feel cold down their spines.

"Soul Hunting Sovereign, please speak, what kind of price needs to be paid?"

They pondered and asked this, not rashly agreeing before getting an answer.

"The price is that the King-level geniuses participating in the competition will be weak for a long time afterward, their wheels of life will be full of cracks, and their lifespan will be sharply reduced. However, with the accumulation of your foundations, there should be natural treasures that can help them recover."

"Is that all?"

They thought about what kind of price it would be, even thinking that the Soul Hunting Temple would therefore make them do more things for it, but they didn't expect it to just be the participants paying the price.

"It seems you are very willing. Those are King-level geniuses, not easy to cultivate, and there is no guarantee that they can be 100% recovered in the future. Such a thing, it seems that in your opinion, is nothing."

"It's not quite like that. The main thing is that Jun Wuxie's potential is too terrifying. According to the current situation, he is destined to be against us in the future, how can we let him grow up. Even if we have to pay a huge price, we must strangle him in the process of growth."

Aoki Ran's words were cold, decisive and ruthless.

"Doesn't your temple also want to hunt him down? If he can be severely injured tomorrow, in the Azure Dragon Gorge secret realm, the chance of success will be greatly increased. After all, the Azure Dragon Gorge secret realm is vast and boundless, with many spaces, it is not easy to find him. If he enters unscathed, with his ability, if he intends to hide, I am afraid it will be difficult to find him."

The Master of the Mirage Marsh analyzed this way.

"Well, hunting down Jun Wuxie is not difficult for my Soul Hunting Temple, it doesn't necessarily have to be in the Azure Dragon Gorge secret realm. This time, letting our people enter the Azure Dragon Gorge through you, hunting down Jun Wuxie is not the primary purpose."

Hearing the Soul Hunting Sovereign say this, the heads of the major ruling forces were puzzled, not knowing how much truth there was in their words.

Could it be that the Soul Hunting Temple also wants to send people to the Azure Dragon Gorge secret realm to obtain opportunities?

However, they did not dare to ask more.

"You return to your respective families and sects now, select the participants for tomorrow, and send them here. At that time, the two of us will take them back to the Soul Hunting Temple and plant secret methods in their bodies, so that their strength can be greatly increased during tomorrow's battle."

"Thank you, two Soul Hunting Sovereigns, we will go and do it now!"

Aoki Ran, the Master of the Mirage Marsh, the head of the Lingyun family, and the Teng Snake Demon Lord all thanked them and then left in a hurry.

After they had gone far away, a sneer appeared on the faces under the black robes of the two Soul Hunting Sovereigns, and they began to communicate with their divine senses.

"These people don't really trust us, but they are already very afraid of that Jun Wuxie, and are eager to solve him, so they have to turn to us for help."

"Do you think that if we use that kind of power to increase the strength of their King-level geniuses, will they really be able to do anything to Jun Wuxie tomorrow?"

"Most likely not, but we can use those people to test him, so that we can have a more accurate assessment of Jun Wuxie's martial arts strength. Why not have someone be cannon fodder?"

"That's for sure. With the arrival of the great era, these people may become targets we need to solve in the future. However, looking at them like this, maybe we can win them over and let them turn against each other at a critical moment."

"That depends on what their Eternal Realm experts are thinking. Such things cannot be decided by the current leaders. It would be good if these ruling forces could be won over; if they cannot be won over, then so be it. Many Eternal forces in the starry sky have already joined, it doesn't matter if they are there or not."

"Well, in this Azure Billow Ancient Star, it is still good to use them to deal with the Heavenly Dao Academy. Although there is a huge gap between them and the Heavenly Dao Academy, they still have several Eternals, and the combined number is not small. These forces can help increase our advantage."

......

Below the abyss in the core area of the forbidden area of the Martial Ancestor Hall.

After Jun Wuxie entered the sealing formation earlier, he sacrificed the Trial Tower, took the founder of the Martial Ancestor Hall into the tower, and went straight to the eighth level of space.

At this time, in the eighth level of space, the founder of the Martial Ancestor Hall was kneeling in front of Hua Yi, hugging her leg and crying like a child.

In front of Hua Yi, she was no longer the majestic and aloof founder of the Martial Ancestor Hall, but more like a child who had been separated from her relatives and reunited.

She was only a teenager when she separated from her master!

When she learned of her master's death, she shed tears every day, crying every day, and felt that her world had collapsed.

At that time, she lost hope for the future.

In her teenage years, her master Hua Yi had an irreplaceable position.

She was originally an orphan, wandering the streets as a child, begging for a living. It was her master who brought her back to Mount Martial Saint and carefully cultivated her, treating her as her own.

It can be said that her master was not only her master in her heart, but also a mother figure.

After her master's death, she felt extremely lonely, so lonely that she felt abandoned by the world, unable to see the direction of the future, and even lost the motivation to live.

"Lian'er, you have suffered all these years."

Hua Yi's eyes were filled with tears. This was her youngest disciple, and also the disciple she had given the most attention to and poured the most emotion into.

When she fought against the darkness and left the sect, Lian'er was only fifteen years old, just at the age of maturity.

When they met again, she was already an Eternal Realm expert who had survived a long time in this time.

"Come, get up quickly, you are at least a strong expert in the Eternal Holy Realm. Kneeling in front of your teacher, hugging your teacher's leg and crying like a child, aren't you afraid of being laughed at."

Hua Yi wiped the tears from her face and helped her up.

Lian'er smiled through her tears, but showed a little girl's coquettishness, and said: "Lian'er will always be a little girl in front of her master. You are both Lian'er's master and Lian'er's mother."

Hua Yi's delicate body trembled slightly when she heard this, and she hugged her tightly in her arms.

Chaos Yuan Sheng, Shen Lian, and Fu Sheng watched them quietly from the side, their expressions filled with sighs.

After several epochs, to be able to see the people of the past, this is such a difficult thing, especially after so many doomsday torrents.

The one who felt the deepest was Chaos Yuan Sheng Bai Yuanfeng. He was touched by the scene and thought of the people and things of the past, and his tiger eyes were also a little moist.

Where are his old friends?

They are all buried in the years, leaving only endless regrets and sorrows.

Jun Wuxie felt the sadness in Chaos Yuan Sheng's heart, knew who he was thinking of, it must be the female powerhouse who perished with the dark powerhouse, but left her obsession unextinguished, and was only able to be freed when she sensed his aura.

He wanted to comfort him, but didn't know how to speak.

In this kind of thing, any words of comfort would seem pale and weak.

He also knew that Chaos Yuan Sheng would probably never be able to get out of that deep regret and guilt in this life.

“Master, Lian'er is incompetent. Over these long years, Lian'er has been unable to restore the glory of Martial Saint Mountain, nor has she been able to avenge the deaths of those from the sect who died tragically. I can only watch those enemies live freely…”

Speaking of the events of that year, her body couldn't help but tremble. The bloody scenes appeared before her eyes. Even after countless ages, they were still vivid, as if they had just happened yesterday.

Those years were too dark and filled with despair. The remaining experts of the sect, as well as her senior sisters, fell one after another in pools of blood in order to protect her, their Martial Dao true bodies riddled with holes.

For a long time, those bloody scenes would appear in her dreams, startling her awake, and even becoming her inner demon when breaking through realms.

“I don't blame you. You've already done very well, preserving the inheritance of Martial Saint Mountain. This master is proud of you. You must not blame yourself anymore. Those forces never participated in the Dark War, and their foundations are completely intact. How could you be their opponent? But Lian'er, don't worry. In the future, Wuxie will definitely settle accounts with them. None of those people will be able to escape.”

“Ah?” Lian'er turned her head to look at Jun Wuxie. Her face was full of shock. “Is Master talking about him?”

“It is he.”

Hua Yi nodded, revealing a gentle and loving smile.

“But he…”

Lian'er wanted to say that his realm was still low, far from being comparable to those forces.

Even if his Martial Dao and Rune Dao both reached the Eternal level in the future, how could one person contend against those forces?

“Lian'er, you can trust him at any time. This junior brother of yours has abilities beyond your imagination. You must believe that nothing is impossible for him. If he reaches the Eternal Realm, the entire starry sky will tremble beneath his feet!”

Lian'er was extremely shocked to hear her master, Hua Yi, praise Jun Wuxie to such an extent.

She was filled with curiosity. What kind of heaven-defying abilities did her little junior brother possess?

“Lian'er, you don't need to doubt, you just need to believe. From now on, you and the Martial Ancestor Hall must assist him well. In the future, he will definitely help the Martial Ancestor Hall reach unprecedented glory, even more prosperous than the Martial Saint Mountain of the past.”

“Lian'er respectfully obeys your command, but Master, your condition…”

“Little Senior Sister Lian'er, you don't need to worry about Master's affairs. In the future, I will find a time to go to the Forbidden Zone of Life. If Master's body is still there, I will definitely bring it back intact.”

“You? Enter the Forbidden Zone of Life?”

Lian'er's expression changed. What kind of place was the Forbidden Zone of Life? Even Eternal giants didn't dare to set foot there. It was said that the space-time inside was different from the outside, and there were god-level creatures inside!
