"You five mere ants from the lower realm, you truly know nothing of consequence!"
Zhu Long sat on his throne, casting a fleeting glance at Zhang Dingbian and the other four before raising his head to gaze at the boundless firmament. "Do you know that above this Three Thousand Dao Province plane, there exists an even vaster world? That world is the ultimate destination of myriad planes. Oh! Right, you call it the Immortal Realm."
"It is within this Immortal Realm that countless True Immortals, Golden Immortals, and Profound Immortals, even all the Immortal Kings, dare not condescend to me with such tone and demeanor. You five ants, you dare to claim you can slay me? Even if Ye Xuan descended from above, humph, he still cannot slay me!" Zhu Long's entire body radiated rolling demonic energy, carrying immense power.
"Humph!"
The moment Zhu Long's words fell, Shan Shituo let out an angry snort and immediately unleashed his Golden Luster Halberd, glaring at Zhu Long who sat calmly on his throne, exuding an air of superiority. "You imperil the foundation of the Great Han, violate its laws, and thus shall be slain!"
"Presumptuous!"
"When I ruled this plane and governed all under heaven, you were not even a speck of dust! Even if Ye Xuan were here, I would still suppress him!"
Zhu Long extended a palm and clenched it fiercely in the void. The eighty-thousand-li firmament directly collapsed. His palm seemed to evolve into a world of its own, with ten directions of lightning, or perhaps the roars of the Great Dao, descending upon Shan Shituo and the other four with immense force.
"Not good! Quickly dodge! To the void!!"
Xiong Kuohai's expression changed. He instantly shattered a patch of space and entered the void. The other four also moved with incredible speed, directly entering the void. All of them were powerful cultivators at the peak of the Chaos Dao Venerable realm. A single strike from them could affect dozens of Dao Provinces. Now, all of these were territories of the Great Han, and they could not afford to damage the nation's foundation. Thus, they could only lure the battlefield into the void.
"Remnants of the previous era, you shall be slain today!"
Zhang Dingbian, standing at the spatial passage, turned back to glance at Zhu Long, who was still seated on his throne. He deliberately provoked him, hoping to draw him into the void.
"Your taunts, humph humph humph. Very well. If the five of you join forces to stop me, you must be the most powerful beings in the current Great Han Divine Dynasty. By slaying the five of you, I will undoubtedly sever the Great Han's roots." Zhu Long said with a faint smile, standing up from his throne. He scanned the surroundings, as if his gaze could pierce through everything.
"Let me experience firsthand how powerful you human powerhouses have become after an era has passed. After I kill you, I shall go to the Immortal Realm and slay Ye Xuan!" Zhu Long, who had entered the void, watched quietly as Zhang Dingbian and the other four stood before him.
With a sense of haughty arrogance, he was a strong cultivator from the Immortal Realm. How could he be inferior to five mere ants from the lower realm? He extended his palm, reaching out fiercely into a patch of space, and a long saber wreathed in blazing flames appeared. The saber was red with black hues, radiating rolling demonic energy. With its emergence, hundreds of miles of void space were filled with murderous intent, piercing in all directions.
The appearance of this long saber isolated the space, and it carried a heavy saber intent, flickering with endless killing light, dividing this void space into hundreds of sections. Terrifying saber intents pervaded everywhere!
Boom!
Holding the long saber, Zhu Long's battle spirit burned intensely, as if he were releasing the suppressed fury of an entire era. He immediately slashed out. Hundreds of spatial sections were thrown into chaos, demonic energy surged, and saber intent was vast. The terrifying saber slashes were enough to shatter all things.
"Boom!"
"Bang!!"
Zhang Dingbian and the other four did not dare to be careless. This was a powerful cultivator from the Immortal Realm. Perhaps, as Zhu Long claimed, he could not be killed, but the five of them fought with all their might. For a time, five sharp blades slashed towards the myriad saber intents, and the sound of impact was incessant. Those terrifying saber slashes that could pierce dozens of Dao Provinces were all shattered by the combined efforts of Zhang Dingbian and the other four.
"Such powerful combat strength!"
Feeling the terrifying demonic energy emanating from the Golden Luster Halberd, Shan Shituo's expression darkened. It was not just him; Xiong Kuohai and the other four also looked at their respective weapons, sensing the vastness of the demonic energy.
"How is it? Do you know the gap between you and me now? I told you, you are no match for me. Even if Ye Xuan and Zhu Long had joined forces to suppress me back then, I could still have killed one of them. Even Ye Xuan could not stop me, so why do you bother to resist!" Zhu Long spoke. Although the power of his single saber strike was neutralized by Xiong Kuohai and the other four, his face still held an arrogant and condescending expression.
"Nonsense! So what if you descended from the Immortal Realm? So what if you are an immortal? We will still slay you!" Wu Yunzhao shouted, fiercely gripping his eight-foot bright silver serpent spear and thrusting it towards the void. Endless dark light, accompanied by dazzling silver brilliance, streaked across the sky, suppressing Zhu Long.
"Attack!"
Xiong Kuohai held two broadaxes, not holding back at all. In the void, the halberd light, ax light, and spear intent enveloped the space around Zhu Long. Dark black and cyan divine light tore through the chaos in the void. The five of them, with a single attack, unleashed divine power even more terrifying than what they had used to slay the giants of the Central State's Eight Great Families. The killing intent in their eyes was exceptionally intense.
"It's useless. My body has been nurtured by the immortal energy of the Immortal Realm. Even after descending to the lower realm, this body has not been suppressed in the slightest. You five are heavenly prodigies of this world, and fighting beyond your level is not impossible. However, you simply do not know what I am." Zhu Long looked at the divine light in the void and said mockingly, a scornful smile on his lips.
As he spoke, he raised his right arm holding the long saber and suddenly felt his body stiffen. He sensed a terrifying divine light aura. He hastily looked up and saw that two divine beasts were floating above the armor of Zhang Dingbian and the other four.
"Taotie!"
"Kui Niu!!"
Looking at the two faintly discernible phantoms, Zhu Long's eyes gradually turned blood red. The hatred he felt was likely no less than his hatred for the Immortal Lord Ye Xuan. Su Dan Novel Network.
"I never expected to see the disgusting figures of your two clans in this lower realm! Damn it! Just as detestable as Ye Xuan!"
For the first time, Zhu Long roared as if he had lost his composure. His demonic energy erupted with boundless, terrifying light, and the exposed skin revealed patches of black scales. With every inhalation and exhalation, runes manifested as if alive.
Faint crimson threads merged into the long saber. At this moment, the killing arts of Zhang Dingbian and the other four also struck. The Kui Niu descended with the four directions of divine thunder, and the Taotie opened its massive maw, attempting to refine Zhu Long's demonic energy. The moment they touched, a brilliance more dazzling than the floating divine suns erupted within the void. A colossal storm gathered in the outside world, sweeping across more than a hundred Dao Provinces.
Within the void, divine light continuously clashed.
