After the Disciples departed, the Quiet Room returned to silence.
The Green Lamp burned brightly, its halo swirling, reflecting Han Xuanji's calm, undisturbed face.
Since the Great Tribulation had already begun, he had two choices: either follow the example of his simulated self, abandon everything, and go to the Chaos to find a place to cultivate in peace. Or, he could stay and face the Demon Race.
In the future, the Demon Race did not exert much effort to breach the Lingxu Immortal Domain.
After all, the Demon Race possessed incredibly deep Foundations, with Experts as numerous as clouds, many Demon Race members at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Rank, and quite a few powerful Demon Race members at the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Level.
Figures like the Great Heavenly Demon were no longer worth Han Xuanji's attention. But the Demon Ancestor... he did not believe he could defeat the opponent.
In the Sea of Great Dao Origin, the Demon Ancestor attempted to Gu him, making him a Subordinate of the Demonic Path. He did not fall for it.
But the Demon Ancestor was likely not doing this for the first time; perhaps many Experts throughout history had already fallen victim.
Thinking of this, Han Xuanji calmed down.
"I still cannot be lazy; I must continue cultivating..."
Having only just reached the Limitless Primordial Realm, how could he slack off? Ask yourself, which of the Heavenly Emperor or the Demon Ancestor is not a Limitless Primordial? Moreover, they are likely among the top figures even within the Limitless Primordial Realm.
Furthermore, Han Xuanji remembered what he saw in the Sea of Great Dao Origin when he achieved his Breakthrough. The floating Dao Seals were countless. The seniority of each of those people was vastly greater than his.
Of course, this accumulation... it cannot be achieved overnight.
But in the Contention of the Great Dao, how can depth be judged solely by years?
"I must possess... a Divine Ability for offense and Dao Protection that truly belongs solely to my 'Xuantian Great Dao'."
Han Xuanji's gaze gradually focused.
The competition at the Limitless Primordial Realm had long surpassed the scope of ordinary Divine Abilities and Spell Techniques; it was a clash of Dao essences and a contention for the authority of rules.
Without a Divine Ability that aligns with one's own Dao and is sufficiently powerful and unique, possessing only the Realm and strength is like a child holding a weapon, easily controlled by others, or even having one's strength broken by skill, exposing flaws.
Han Xuanji's thoughts began to race, and his consciousness sank into the vast and boundless Origin of his "Xuantian Great Dao," meticulously sorting out and deducing the essence of the Great Dao. The true meaning of his Great Dao lies in "Beginning in Chaos, profound and mysterious, encompassing Ten Thousand Daos." Although the concept is lofty, it does not mean it is invincible.
Therefore, taking this as the core, what kind of unique, Great Divine Ability can be derived that is sufficient to hold its own, or even gain a unique advantage, in the contention of the Limitless Primordial Realm?
Han Xuanji fell into contemplation.
On the other side.
Lingxu Immortal Domain, Northern Territory Demon Suppressing Pass.
This Majestic Pass, once forged with the heart and Soul of countless Human Race Cultivators, has now completely fallen. The sky was completely obscured by foul Devilish Clouds, hiding the sun and moon. Only crimson lightning occasionally tore through the darkness, illuminating the Asura-like scene on the earth.
At this moment, surging Devilish Qi contaminated every inch of land and air within the pass. The largest Immortal Rank Mansion inside the pass has now been converted into a temporary Demon Race Command Center.
Eerie Devilish Qi covered the former Auspiciousness. In the center of the hall, dozens of figures exuding powerful Demonic Might sat in a circle.
The Demon Master's figure was shrouded in a wide black robe, and the shadow under his hood was deep.
His pale hands were crossed over his chest as he listened to the excited reports from several Demon Race Vanguard Commanders.
"Those Immortal Domain Beings are simply vulnerable! Our unit chewed through three of their outer Restrictions in a single charge!"
"Hahaha, the flesh, blood, and Soul of Cultivators are indeed the finest Supplements! Especially those Cultivators who have achieved success in cultivation; their resentment and fear are exceptionally sweet!"
"At this rate, it won't be long before the entire Lingxu Immortal Domain is bathed in the Demon Ancestor's Glory! Our race's Territory will expand by another piece!"
The unrestrained laughter of the Demon Race Experts echoed in the hall, filled with the joy of conquest and destruction.
"Enough."
A calm voice sounded, bringing all laughter to an abrupt halt. The Demon Master raised his head, his icy gaze sweeping over the Gathered Demons.
"Has a temporary victory made you forget yourselves? Don't forget, what we have captured are merely the Fringes of the Lingxu Immortal Domain. The truly tough target—the Lingxu Heavenly Palace—still stands there completely intact."
When Lingxu Heavenly Palace was mentioned, the excitement of the Demon Race Experts subsided slightly, but they still dismissed it, some even appearing angry.
"Demon Master, you worry too much. What is the Lingxu Heavenly Palace? Even Supreme Powers like the Heavenly Court were destroyed by our race. This kind of weak force can be annihilated by sending out just a few Grand Unity Golden Immortals."
"Exactly. It's just a Newly Emerging Force with shallow Foundation. How long can it last against our attack? I bet we will definitely be the first to breach an Immortal Domain."
The Demon Master sighed, seemingly unwilling to continue discussing with this group. How could he not know that, according to surface intelligence, the Lingxu Heavenly Palace was vulnerable, guarded by only three Grand Unity Golden Immortals? Forget existences like the Great Heavenly Demon making a move; the Demon Race could flatten it by casually sending out a single Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm Expert.
But the problem was, the Lingxu Heavenly Palace was not that simple.
He suspected this place had become a Land of Tribulation Response, where Immortal Domain Great Experts had laid many schemes, preparing a Trap waiting for them to step into.
The Demon Master suddenly recalled the capabilities of the Four Heavenly Demons and slowly turned toward the other end of the Long Table.
"Four Heavenly Demons Venerable."
The Demon Master's voice carried a hint of imperceptible inquiry, "Venerable, have you sensed... any signs that a hidden existence in the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm might interfere here on the Human Race's side?"
The air in the hall seemed to freeze for an instant.
"I have not sensed anything."
The Four Heavenly Demons' answer was straightforward, delivering this judgment almost without any thought. He truly had not sensed this sign, and he was not lying. Upon hearing this, the Demon Master let out a sigh of relief, but a faint feeling of unease lingered in his heart. It was too smooth, so smooth that he dared not believe it.
The Demon Master remained silent for a moment, his heart slightly fluctuating before finally settling into peace.
"This Subordinate worried too much. With all you Venerables here, everything is naturally foolproof."
He stopped asking questions and instead began to arrange the next Offensive Route, but that thread of doubt in his heart quietly grew. He just felt that everything that followed was full of unpredictable Variables. The Demon Master did not see the Four Heavenly Demons' figure slightly trembling, seemingly afraid of something. Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't understand what kind of existence could instill fear in the Four Heavenly Demons, who were close to the Celestial Golden Immortal Realm...
Meanwhile, behind the Demon Suppressing Pass, lay another Defensive Line:
Shenji City.
This city is one of the few Majestic Cities in the Lingxu Immortal Domain, named after the Jiang Family's Progenitor, Jiang Shenji. The city is sturdy, with Formations standing densely. It has now become the rallying point for the remaining forces of the Lingxu Immortal Domain and the Demon Resistance Reinforcements.
Inside the majestic Shenji Hall, the atmosphere was solemn and heavy.
The hall was packed, gathering almost all the High-Level Combat Power currently callable in the Lingxu Immortal Domain.
At the Main Seats of Honor were three individuals. On the left was the Stabilizing Force of the Lingxu Heavenly Palace, Ancestor Shenhui, whose aura was profound and whose face was withered. He possessed the cultivation of a Seventh Revolution Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
On the right was the Pillar of Heaven of the Jiang Family, an authoritative-looking elder wearing a Purple-Gold Jade Robe—the Jiang Family Old Ancestor, Jiang Xuangang. He was also a Seventh Revolution Grand Unity Golden Immortal, proficient in Artifact Refining and Formation, and currently the strongest person in the Jiang Family.
And in the center, astonishingly, was the Human Emperor who had rushed to provide support, Lu Fan!
