~8 minute read · 2,081 words

Jiang Yuan's jubilant cry echoed, and the senior experts’ shocked visages ignited the crowd's fervent curiosity.

"Nine Heavens Sword Maiden?"

"Never heard of her..."

"This title is equally unfamiliar to me. Could she be an expert from the same period as these venerable seniors?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Qianjue and the others hastily waved their hands in denial!

"We wouldn't dare, we wouldn't dare!"

"How could we possibly be deemed worthy of being called experts alongside the esteemed Nine Heavens Sword Maiden!"

"We've only encountered fleeting tales of this esteemed lord's legendary exploits. We have long revered her, yet never had the blessing to encounter her in person!"

Their profoundly respectful demeanor only amplified the crowd's burgeoning intrigue.

Jiang Yuan nodded with immense excitement, his eyes shimmering with profound sentiment.

"Precisely..."

"Everything my fellow Daoists have stated holds true."

"When the renown of the Nine Heavens Sword Maiden illuminated the vast expanse of the cosmos, we had barely entered the Saint Realm, truly insignificant beings. We only came to know of her transcendent grace through myriad legends. She is the very architect who sculpted the resplendent glory of Cloud Star!"

"I confess with shame that several epochs ago, this old man was fortunate enough to witness her execute a move. Though it was but a fleeting glimpse, the benefits I reaped were boundless. From that moment onward, my comprehension of the Great Dao achieved a deeper understanding, granting me the fortune to ascend to a higher plane."

"To think that this lord would grace the world with her presence once more. This is, without a doubt, a tremendous boon for our human race!"

"To behold the Nine Heavens Sword Maiden's unparalleled elegance again today makes our slumber spanning countless epochs feel utterly worthwhile!"

As his emotionally charged words subsided, the other elder seniors were likewise deeply stirred.

"Elder Jiang speaks with absolute correctness!"

"To have the privilege of seeing this lord once more after the passage of numerous epochs, I harbor no regrets in this lifetime!"

"With this lord's appearance, our human race now possesses hope in this impending conflict!"

The more the venerable seniors spoke, the more their excitement swelled. These were undeniably legendary beings who had traversed epochs, yet at this very moment, they appeared like naive juniors, their gazes fixated skyward with hearts full of adoration, unable to contain their exultant expressions.

Observing their fervent display, Master Lu and the others began to harbor a flicker of doubt.

An entity capable of eliciting such elation from these seasoned seniors must have possessed unimaginable might in days past, but with the relentless march of time, how much of that formidable strength could possibly remain upon her reappearance?

Could she truly contend against that terrifying Demon Venerable?

Just as the assembled crowd gazed upwards with a mixture of apprehension and anticipation.

Yun Yaoyao, standing serenely amidst the heavens, parted her crimson lips and cast her gaze downwards.

"Step aside."

"Leave this demon to my care."

Her voice, though incredibly frigid, resonated with an earth-shattering self-assurance!

She intended to confront the Demon Venerable single-handedly?

Hearing her casual pronouncement, as if discussing a matter of utter triviality, one could only ponder the sheer immensity of her Qi cultivation, sufficient to regard the Demon Venerable with such disdain.

All the human cultivators' eyes widened in sheer astonishment, their senses reeling from disbelief.

Jiang Yuan and the other elders, however, became even more animated, ceaselessly urging the crowd to withdraw!

"This lord remains as stoic and pure as flawless jade, her invincible aura undiminished from its past glory. I feel as though I am witnessing that monumental battle from several epochs ago, where a single individual wielding a single sword was sufficient to bridge the vastness of the cosmos!"

"With this lord taking decisive action, the ultimate outcome of this confrontation is already assured!"

"Everyone, retreat without delay to avoid being caught in the collateral devastation of the ensuing grand battle!"

An unprecedented, colossal battle was teetering on the brink of commencement. Even Master Lu and his cohort were rendered incapable of intervening. The crowd, oscillating between belief and doubt, had no alternative but to retreat under Jiang Yuan's guidance, their faces etched with extreme tension.

Abruptly.

Both factions rapidly retreated once more, their expressions contorting into grim solemnity.

Even though no overt anomalies had manifested in the sky as yet, the very atmosphere pulsed with an incomparably oppressive aura. Despite the presence of hundreds of thousands of individuals gathered on the ground, a force that would ordinarily signify a terrifying martial might on any given planet, they were, at this moment, relegated to hiding in the distant periphery like insignificant ants, gazing towards the heavens with profound awe.

Yet, whether belonging to the human or demon race, the cultivation levels of the remaining combatants were undeniably limited.

After extended observation, they remained incapable of discerning the slightest clue, nor could they even perceive the phantom figures concealed deep within the celestial clouds.

Within the heart of the supreme cloud layers.

Two figures of exquisite beauty, their forms so indistinct they nearly merged with the wisps of clouds, calmly surveyed everything unfolding in the shadowed lands below. It was impossible to ascertain how long they had been observing, as they had made no discernible movements.

It wasn't until they clearly witnessed Yun Yaoyao's arrival and heard her soft-spoken words.

That one of them offered a smile and turned their gaze backward.

"Sixth Junior Sister, your estimations were indeed spot on. She has finally made her appearance."

Upon hearing this, Mo Tianji’s phantom form lifted her gaze with pride, her stunning eyes brimming with confident luminescence.

"Fifth Senior Sister heaps too much praise upon me."

"My grasp of the Great Dao of Mathematics has recently seen considerable advancement. My calculations will invariably be accurate. Even for this matter, I can precisely ascertain the outcome."

Su Yunyun offered a gentle smile and a nod, gazing down at the exquisite figure beneath the clouds with a heart full of emotion.

"Since this individual has awakened and hastened to this location, I surmise there shall be no deviation in this confrontation."

"After all, she was one of the devoted sisters who served our Master. Her Sword Dao is deemed invincible against myriad gods. This insignificant demonic entity stands absolutely no chance against her."

"With her presence, we can depart with untroubled minds."

As her pronouncement concluded.

Mo Tianji’s spectral form also inclined her head in assent and gently closed the ledger she held.

In the subsequent moment.

The two phantom figures dissolved into invisibility, as though they had never manifested.

Beneath the veil of clouds.

The hushed standoff had persisted for a considerable duration.

Neither faction had initiated hostilities, yet a palpable, fearsome pressure had already permeated the heavens and earth. The very ground quaked and fractured, while the winds and clouds roiled and surged!

That jade-like silhouette clad in white remained utterly expressionless, yet she exuded an immense, oppressive aura. Her unfathomable presence compelled even the Demon Venerable to tread with utmost caution.

The sight of the longsword held casually in her left hand sent an involuntary shiver down his spine!

It was an ineffable premonition of peril, an instinctive, dreadful intuition. To conceive that such a formidable existence would materialize within this modest galaxy seemed increasingly preposterous with every passing glance.

His grand ambition of universal dominion had barely commenced, and he had already encountered a formidable adversary. The Demon Venerable’s apprehension intensified, sowing seeds of doubt.

His crimson eyes flickered, and he demanded with chilled resonance.

"The human inhabitants of this galaxy should by no means harbor an entity such as yourself!"

"Declare your origins!"

To his surprise, despite the deep, resonant timbre of his voice, the opposing figure remained serenely poised, affording no indication of interest in responding. Her cold gaze maintained its unwavering intensity.

Her very posture conveyed an air of utter disdain, as if he were too insignificant to warrant a reply.

Instantly.

The Demon Venerable’s fury ignited anew, his visage contorting with a touch of unhinged rage!

"Insolent wretch!"

"A base, inferior creature dares exhibit such brazen arrogance! I refuse to countenance the belief that you are genuinely as powerful as you project!"

With his words, the Demon Venerable channeled the primordial demonic energy coursing through his being, unleashing a potent divine ability!

"Sunless Oblivion!"

Following a furious roar.

A dense pall of darkness descended, obscuring the heavens. Pure demonic primordial energy enveloped the firmament like a suffocating shroud, threatening to engulf all within this expanse. The oppressive force caused the myriad troops arrayed on the ground, from both opposing sides, to blanch in sheer terror!

Confronted by this encroaching, endless darkness, Master Lu and his companions displayed expressions of utter despair. They instinctively clenched their fists, offering silent, fervent prayers.

Even.

The High Priest, observing from his concealed vantage point above the demonic capital, watched with visibly trembling eyes!

"This… this is the venerable Lord Demon Venerable’s innate divine ability!"

"Once this formidable technique is invoked, all demonic power shall be at the Lord’s command. Within this realm, he will wield boundless demonic might and stand as an unconquerable entity!"

"However, this supreme divine art demands an extraordinary expenditure of energy. Should he employ it, the Demonic Origin Dao Fetus, which the Lord has painstakingly nurtured, might imperil its completion!"

"I had not anticipated that this human sorceress would prove so formidable, pushing even the Lord to such extreme measures. To be worthy of succumbing to the Lord’s divine ability, she can truly be hailed as a paragon of strength."

"It would appear the foundational depth of the human race far surpasses our prior estimations..."

Just as the High Priest voiced his musings.

The heavens had already devolved into an abyss of impenetrable darkness. Several torrents of demonic primordial energy coalesced, forming colossal blades extending thousands of feet, which then morphed into an immense demonic palm, launching a swift, unexpected assault towards the celestial, comely figure!

Boom!

The formidable demonic blade descended with crushing, overwhelming force. In that instant, explosive ruptures echoed as the void itself was rent asunder, sealing off every conceivable avenue of escape surrounding Yun Yaoyao!

In mere moments, she was on the verge of being consumed by the colossal demonic palm!

The Demon Venerable’s gaze darkened, and a predatory smile played upon his lips, betraying his inner triumph.

Yet, who could have foreseen the ensuing turn of events.

Yun Yaoyao merely raised a hand and made a casual gesture, causing the terrifying demonic palm to dissipate into naught!

Instantly.

The human cultivators on the ground watched with wide, astonished eyes, their fervent admiration intensifying!

Incredible!

This senior is truly immensely powerful!

To effortlessly nullify such a fearsome attack with a simple gesture— she absolutely earns her title as the Nine Heavens Sword Maiden!

While the human race rejoiced with overwhelming elation, the demon race observed with quivering dread.

The High Priest's eyes bulged as if he had just witnessed a specter, and the Demon Venerable found his breath abruptly seized in his throat!

What is this!

In merely a single exchange.

The opponent hadn't even drawn the longsword sheathed at her side, nor did she make any superfluous gestures, yet that dreadful offensive was reduced to nothing more than wisps of smoke. Could the disparity in their cultivation levels truly be this vast?

Is it possible that this woman is genuinely that formidable?!

Confronted with this stark reality.

The Demon Venerable was once again engulfed in shock. His unsettling premonition intensified with each passing moment, sowing seeds of panic within his heart!

He promptly initiated another assault, expending every last drop of the demonic source energy surging within his being!

This time.

The Demon Venerable held absolutely nothing in reserve, desperately channeling his boundless demonic source. He was acutely aware of how inexplicably potent this adversary was; she presented a challenge unlike any he had ever encountered throughout his entire existence. Now, with survival hanging in the balance, he had no alternative but to stake his very life!

Accompanying a ferocious roar, the Demon Venerable's stunningly handsome countenance began to fracture, unveiling a pitch-black visage adorned with razor-sharp fangs, while his pair of blood-red eyes abruptly converged into a solitary pupil!

Demonic Source Dao Embryo!
