Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Time gradually approached sunset. The golden-red setting sun hung slantwise on the horizon, its afterglow reflecting upon Eternal Pass City, imbuing the entire city with an indescribable sense of antiquity and desolation.

Outside the Secret Realm Tower, within that magic array space, there were now over a hundred million people.

Almost all of those who had entered the Secret Realm assessment had now been guided out.

Among them, those who had been eliminated bore the mark of order, preventing them from using the teleportation array to travel to the Eternal Road ahead.

These people had already withdrawn from the magic array space, their faces filled with disappointment, standing in the crowd, transformed from participants into onlookers and witnesses.

“The assessment is now over, and the final rankings have been determined.

The top three are: Jun Wuxie, Fan Hai, and Qi Huang.

Now, the Secret Realm Tower is about to close, and the ranking rewards will be distributed shortly.”

A celestial voice echoed from within the Secret Realm Tower, dignified yet intellectual.

Immediately, three beams of light shot out from the tower, landing in front of it, revealing Jun Wuxie, Fan Hai, and Qi Huang.

As soon as they were guided out, a vast beam of energy cascaded down from the tower, like three great waterfalls.

It was a special resource energy, pouring into their bodies like an empowerment.

This special energy was even purer and more majestic than what they had obtained in the tower earlier.

All eyes were focused on them.

People were filled with envy, and of course, there was also jealousy, such as from that young man named Da Yi.

He was currently in the crowd, his face very gloomy, looking at Jun Wuxie, Fan Hai, and Qi Huang with ill-concealed intentions.

However, the hostility in his eyes quickly subsided.

He didn't want the three to discover his animosity.

He was well aware that in terms of strength, he was inferior to the three, especially that Dawn Divine Lord. If they were to fight, he would be in mortal danger.

Watching the vast and majestic special energy irrigating the three, Da Yi's heart was filled with jealousy and unwillingness.

He knew how precious these energy resources were.

If he could have obtained the ranking rewards, he should have been able to advance another realm.

Unfortunately, the ranking rewards were snatched away by those three, and he had no chance.

Everyone present could clearly feel that the realms of Jun Wuxie, Fan Hai, and Qi Huang were improving at an alarming rate.

It was truly envy-inducing.

On the stone platform next to the Secret Realm Tower, the elder of the Hei Ji Clan looked extremely gloomy.

Watching Jun Wuxie's realm improve like this, he felt terrible.

Why couldn't that damned person have died on the path of the ultimate assessment?

He also wondered what kind of rewards he had obtained after passing the ultimate assessment.

The scene on that mountain peak was obscured by mist, making it impossible for anyone to see clearly.

The Tower's Order's concealment indicated that the hidden rewards were extraordinary.

“Unfortunately, it is not easy for us to kill him. Taking action ourselves could easily leave us open to criticism. It would be best to use the hands of the Yin Ming Tribe.

But in that case, we would not be able to obtain the resources on him…”

The Hei Ji Clan's high-level members felt very depressed and unwilling.

If it were other resources, he wouldn't be tempted.

After all, how few rare resources have the guardian clan's high-level members of the Eternal Road seen?

However, the hidden rewards after the ultimate assessment on the ninth floor of the tower were very tempting to him.

Although he didn't know what it was, he was certain that it must be amazing!

After about an hour, the irrigation of resource energy stopped.

Within half a breath of the stop, Jun Wuxie, Fan Hai, and Qi Huang almost simultaneously broke through their realms.

Beams of light soared into the sky from all three of them. Jun Wuxie's was the most brilliant, and the momentum erupting from his body was incomparably astonishing, shaking all the buildings in this area, every pore on his body spraying golden radiance, exuding a powerful vitality.

Everyone felt such a vitality aura and found it incredible and unbelievable.

The overflowing life energy of a young cultivator actually made their pores open up, and their whole person was instantly refreshed.

There was even a feeling of increased lifespan!

This was really amazing!

Then, how vigorous must the life force of the person who emits such a life aura be, and how long must his lifespan be?

“Monster! If you don't die and help the You Yu Clan deal with us in the future, you will really become a disaster for our Hei Ji Clan.

In any case, I must report this matter to the clan headquarters as soon as possible, so that the decision-makers can decide whether to ignore this person, even if it is only temporarily!”

The city lord smiled on the surface, but his heart was full of murderous intent, and he was extremely jealous of Jun Wuxie's heaven-defying nature.

The main reason was that this person was too close to the You Yu Clan, and the truth of the old events had been learned by the You Yu Clan, creating a huge conflict between the two clans.

With such a reason inside, one could not think too much about it, as it was terrifying to think about!

That was definitely a huge hidden danger, which might bring disaster to their Hei Ji Clan in the future!

If such a person became a demigod, then what would happen? Who could restrain him?

The breakthrough movements of Jun Wuxie and the others continued for a while before they began to subside, and finally all the light converged.

He found that Fan Hai and Qi Huang nearby were looking at him, both of their gazes were quite fiery.

“Don't look at me like that. I'll tell you clearly, I don't like that kind of thing.”

Jun Wuxie very seriously and euphemistically informed them that his sexual orientation was very normal, and not to get any ideas about him, as he had no interest in men.

The muscles on Fan Hai and Qi Huang's faces twitched a few times involuntarily.

What did he mean by "don't like that kind of thing"?

What kind of thing was that?

Did the Divine Lord really think they had inclinations towards same-sex relationships?

“Amitabha, a monk is pure in the six senses and empty in the four elements. The Divine Lord may have misunderstood.”

Fan Hai walked up to him and put his hands together.

He said this, but his eyes were very fiery.

Jun Wuxie felt that this kind of look was really greasy, just like what? Just like the eyes of those women who looked at him after knowing his identity.

For example, the female cultivators on the scene, their eyes were as fiery as Fan Hai and Qi Huang's at this moment.

“Before I am sure whether your orientations are normal, you should stay away from me.”

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, without giving them a chance to explain, he looked at the elders of the You Yu Clan on the stage and said, “When will the magic array to the Eternal Road ahead be opened?”

“Haha, congratulations to the Divine Lord for winning the glory of being the first in all ages, creating an unprecedented precedent, illuminating the past and present!

As for the Eternal Road ahead, starting tomorrow, those who pass the assessment can activate the magic array at any time to go there.

If the Divine Lord is in a hurry to leave, he can do so early tomorrow morning; if the Divine Lord wants to stay in the First Eternal Pass for a few more days, he can use the magic array after a few more days.

Those who pass the assessment have the mark of order on their bodies. As long as they step into the magic array, the magic array will sense the mark of order and be activated.

At that time, there will be countless coordinates, representing different paths, which can be freely chosen.”

Jun Wuxie nodded, and then glanced indifferently at the high-level members of the Hei Ji Clan.

He sensed hostility from those people.

Everyone in the Hei Ji Clan had it, some hidden better than others. If his Yuan Shen wasn't strong and he cultivated the Art of War, it would be difficult to sense.

Among them, there was an old man whose hostility towards him was particularly strong.

Although he was trying his best to restrain himself, with a faint smile on his face, looking kind, but in his heart, he was very bad.

Jun Wuxie's heart trembled slightly, and he immediately knew that these high-level members of the Hei Ji Clan should know about the You Yu Clan learning the truth.

First, these people hated him for revealing the truth, and second, they were afraid that he would help the You Yu Clan deal with their Hei Ji Clan in the future.

He didn't react, just glanced indifferently at the high-level members of the Hei Ji Clan, and then pushed through the crowd and walked out of the forest.

All eyes were focused on him, following his figure as he moved.

Among the crowd, there were many voices shouting, mostly women, confessing and expressing their love for him madly.

There were also a small number of men who loudly stated that he was their idol.

The atmosphere at the scene can be described as quite boiling.

Seeing him so popular, with such high prestige, and even becoming the spiritual belief of some people, the high-level members of the Hei Ji Clan felt even more uncomfortable.

On the edge of the forest, the demigod ancestor of the Lanqin Clan was no longer there.

When Jun Wuxie walked towards that area, he disappeared and transmitted a divine thought to him in secret.

Jun Wuxie walked out of the forest and quickly left, disappearing from everyone's sight.

He restrained his aura, causing some people's senses to fail.

The high-level members of the Hei Ji Clan couldn't help but be stunned, and then a cold light flashed in their eyes.

Their divine thoughts were originally locked on the target, but suddenly their vision lost its senses, and the target seemed to disappear out of thin air.

“What kind of methods does this person have?”

They were very surprised that they could directly invalidate their divine sense perception at such a close distance.

No wonder he could survive the pursuit of the people of the Yin Ming Tribe and come to this First Eternal Pass City.

He relied not only on great luck, but also on some unknown magical methods!

…

Jun Wuxie maintained contact with the demigod ancestor of the Lanqin Clan through divine thoughts all the way.

Before long, they met in a relatively remote dilapidated temple in the city.

It was still deserted here, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, almost up to a person's waist.

In the middle of the courtyard, there was an old incense burner covered with moss, and a few dilapidated houses with leaky doors and windows.

“Little friend, why did you want to meet here?”

Behind the Buddha statue in the main hall of the temple, the demigod ancestor of the Lanqin Clan looked puzzled.

He felt that it was completely unnecessary. If it was to avoid the crowd, they could completely go to the Lanqin Clan's stronghold mansion in this city.

Jun Wuxie used his mastery of the Dao of Inscription to seal and isolate the area, astonishing the ancestor of the Lanqin Clan, who realized that the matter he was about to discuss was extraordinary.

At this moment, he saw inscriptions appear around Jun Wuxie's feet, merging into the ground and blossoming into a vast array of runes.

"Young friend, your attainment in the Dao of Inscription…"

He was deeply shocked, knowing that Jun Wuxie cultivated both martial arts and inscriptions, but to be so young and already have such heaven-defying martial prowess, yet his inscription skills were also so profound.

Such a barrier revealed nothing on the surface, but it was far from simple; even an Eternal Giant would have to expend some effort to break through!

"I am a Saint Tenth Realm peak Inscriptionist, having only recently broken through."

Jun Wuxie replied casually, but it caused the Lanqin Clan's Demigod ancestor's body to tremble violently, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Although he had already guessed it when he saw the strength of the rune barrier, hearing him admit it personally still caused a violent shock to his heart.

So young, yet his martial arts were already capable of killing Eternal Giants, and his inscription skills were also at this level, having reached the peak of the Saint Realm!

One must know that cultivating the Dao of Inscription is even more difficult than martial arts, requiring extremely high talent and almost complete comprehension.

Who could cultivate to the peak of the Saint Tenth Realm at such an age?

No matter how heaven-defying the opportunity, it was impossible.

Yet, this young man before him cultivated both martial arts and inscriptions, and had reached such a level!

"Truly, the waves behind drive on those before.

We old fellows are truly old, and it seems we should have retired from the stage of history long ago."

The Lanqin Clan's ancestor was filled with emotion and couldn't help but sigh.

Upon entering the Divine Realm in this Holy Spirit World, one's lifespan is long, capable of living for two epochs.

He had also slept for a very long time, further extending his lifespan, and even now, he still had half an epoch of life left.

Isn't such a long lifespan a kind of torment?

This torment has nothing to do with loneliness, but rather with the grand environment of ancient and modern times.

Demigod, it sounds very powerful.

However, they cannot quell the flood of the apocalypse or resist the invasion of darkness.

In those past epochs, every time darkness invaded, these Demigods did not even dare to show their faces, only able to hide.

This was to prevent the darkness from knowing of the existence of Demigods, otherwise the Demigods on the dark side would surely cross the boundary.

In the past eras, there was no hope, so they hid, turtled, eked out an existence, watching the masses cry in despair, watching the heroes who resisted the darkness constantly fall, their blood staining the earth of countless ancient stars.

All of this was only to accumulate strength in this great era, placing all hope in this generation, hoping to concentrate their strength and quell the flood of the apocalypse.

Although the hope was extremely渺茫, in this great era, they could only fight.

Even if the hope is small, it is not completely without it.

After all, this great era is full of talent, and he has indeed seen some hope.

After the Eternal Road opened, there were too many talented people, with countless geniuses like carps crossing the river, gathering on this road.

If those people are willing to resist the dark creatures in the future, then there is hope for quelling the flood of the apocalypse.

Now, with this young man before him, the originally渺茫 hope has been greatly increased.

As long as he can become a Demigod in the future, he will surely sweep across the six directions on the battlefield, and one person will be able to deal with who knows how many Demigod-level dark powerhouses!

"Senior, your emotional fluctuations are a bit large."

Jun Wuxie could feel his current emotions, starting with loss, sadness, self-blame, guilt, and then filled with hope and excitement.

"It was just a moment of emotion. Young friend, you must have invited this old man here today because you have something very important to say."

The Lanqin Clan's Demigod ancestor came back to his senses and couldn't help but ask.

He was now somewhat curious, what exactly did this amazingly talented young man want to say to him?

"Yes, this matter is extraordinary, and it is related to all three major clans, and it also involves the interests of your Lanqin Clan.

I don't know what decision Senior will make after hearing it."

Hearing him say this, the Lanqin Clan's ancestor's expression couldn't help but become solemn, and he said very solemnly: "This old man is the ancestor of the Lanqin Clan. In the past, I knelt before the will of the Heavenly Dao with the ancestors of the Youyu Clan and the Heiji Clan and swore to protect the order of the Eternal Road and maintain justice in the human world.

No matter what young friend says next, right or wrong, yes or no, this old man will always stand on the right side.

Therefore, young friend, you don't need to have any concerns, please speak frankly."

"Actually, Senior knows about this matter, but Senior's understanding of the information is incorrect.

What I am about to say is about the incident that happened to the direct descendants of the three major clans on the Eternal Road countless years ago.

Yu's death was not as Senior knows it, he did not die at the hands of those who were chasing them at the time."

Mentioning this matter, hearing these words, the Lanqin Clan's ancestor was shocked and raised his eyebrows.

If he was not killed by those people, then at whose hands did he die?

He immediately realized that this matter was probably…

"Young friend, tell me, how exactly did Yu die, and who killed him?"

"The young master of the Heiji Clan at the time, Ji Feng."

"What?"

The Lanqin Clan's Demigod ancestor was shocked when he heard this answer.

He never expected it to be Ji Feng.

He had never even thought of such a thing, because Ji Feng and Yu had grown up together since childhood and had a deep relationship, as close as brothers.

It is said that after that incident happened, Ji Feng came back and was so sad and upset, it didn't seem like he was faking it at all.

"Young friend, this… could you have made a mistake?

Could it really be Ji Feng?

Why would he kill Yu, what was the motive?

This matter is of great importance and could even shake the unity between the two major clans.

Young friend, you haven't told the people of the Youyu Clan about it yet, have you?"

Jun Wuxie was stunned when he heard this last sentence, and then looked at him with a strange gaze and said: "According to Senior's meaning, it seems that I should not tell the truth to the Youyu Clan?"

"No, young friend, don't misunderstand, this old man just feels that the truth of the matter is open to question and there are still many doubts.

My clan's pearl, Qin, she and Yu were childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship. At that time, she was already engaged to him.

With her feelings for Yu, if Ji Feng killed Yu, how could she not expose him and even marry Ji Feng?

This matter does not fit the logic."

"I also want to know why a woman who deeply loves a man would eventually marry the murderer who chopped off the head of the man she loved in front of her.

Senior, don't you think this is very ironic?

Perhaps there is another secret, but no matter what the secret is, Qin can only say that her feelings for Yu are not deep enough."

Speaking of this, Jun Wuxie presented the memory fragment of Ji Feng's assassination of Yu in the form of a soul light in the air for the Lanqin Clan's ancestor to see.

"True or false, Senior can distinguish for himself, or go back and ask Qin of your clan, perhaps Senior can get the truth from Qin."

The Lanqin Clan's ancestor stared at the scene in the air, the corners of his eyes twitching, and the hands hanging down to his waist moved slightly.

Ji Feng ambushed him from behind and personally chopped off Yu's head, who was protecting him in front. Such a scene made the Lanqin Clan ancestor's eyes extremely cold.

How could such a frenzied beast emerge from the core members of the three major clans!

Didn't he think about destroying the relationship between the clans by doing this?

If the clans are not in harmony, how can they join hands to resist foreign enemies?
