Chapter 225: Invasion of the Demon Sages, the Heavenly Emperor’s Ambition

"You've been reincarnated for so long, do they still recognize you?"

Han Jue asked curiously. How many years had it been since Divine Emperor Miaozhen's Reincarnation?

It would likely have to be calculated in units of ten thousand years!

Murong Qi replied, "My bond with them is as deep as brothers. We once weathered the Immeasurable Calamity together. Even if the world changes, our feelings will not."

Han Jue thought for a moment and said, "Still, be cautious. I don't expect you to repay me; staying alive is what's most important."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Murong Qi's face.

The point he admired most about Han Jue was his lack of contention and pragmatism.

Even if one took a Master within the Divine Palace, they would have to serve that Master.

But under Han Jue for so long, Han Jue's greatest requirement for them was to stay on the mountain and engage in bitter cultivation.

This kind of noble character was rare even in the Immortal Realm.

The grandfather and grandson chatted for a long time before Han Jue let Murong Qi leave.

As many years passed, the Luck of the Chiyun Realm had increased. The Peak of the mortal world was no longer the Mahayana Realm but the Loose Immortal Realm. However, one could still undergo Ascension after reaching the Tribulation Crossing Realm, provided they could successfully undergo tribulation.

With Murong Qi's Aptitude, Ascension would be no difficult task.

In less than half a year, Murong Qi successfully ascended.

His departure did not cause the others of the Hidden Gate to waver. After all, the Spiritual Qi of the Mountain of Bitter Cultivation to Immortality was not weaker than the Immortal Realm, and it even had Immortal Qi.

Ascension was merely for seeking Opportunity.

cultivation knows no time.

Han Jue continued his bitter cultivation, occasionally cursing enemies, checking emails, scanning the Chiyun Realm, and guiding his Disciples.

Days passed as usual, without waves or changes.

Twenty years went by.

Han Jue was currently cursing an enemy.

Far off in the Void Realm, the heavenly puppet suddenly saw a ball of flame rapidly growing larger—more accurately, it was fast approaching him.

Han Jue immediately used the Simulation Trial to detect the strongest beings in the Chiyun Realm.

[Heavenly Fox Great Sage: Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm Perfection, Demon Sage of the Demon Court]

[Dreamlike Female Demon: Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm Perfection, Demon Sage of the Demon Court]

Two Demon Sages!

Han Jue frowned and began a Simulation Trial, fighting one against two.

In any case, Martial Virtue Divine Lord was there and could hold them off for a while.

Three breaths later, he opened his eyes.

He frowned; he actually couldn't achieve an instant kill.

Let's try a different combat style.

Han Jue continued the Simulation Trial, determined to find a way to instant-kill the two Demon Sages.

Within the Void Realm.

The two Demon Sages sped along, carrying billowing flames, when a massive saber shadow slashed down, stopping them.

"Bold monsters! You dare trespass into the Heavenly Court's Mortal Realm!"

The roar of Martial Virtue Divine Lord rang out as he appeared, clad in heavy silver-blue battle armor and a tiger-head helmet inlaid with pearls. He had four eyes and looked majestic.

Without a word, he started the fight.

He swung his great saber and slashed forward.

The flames exploded and dispersed, revealing the two Demon Sages.

The Heavenly Fox Great Sage had a fox's head and a human's body, dressed in black with nine massive tails behind him.

The Dreamlike Female Demon had the figure of a woman, graceful and lithe, but her body was covered in leaves, making for a terrifying sight.

"Hmph! So it is the Martial Virtue Divine Lord. No wonder you are so arrogant!" the Dreamlike Female Demon snorted. Her hands quickly cast a spell, her magic power transforming into massive vines larger than mountain ranges that lashed out furiously at Martial Virtue Divine Lord.

The Heavenly Fox Great Sage raised his hand, and a black whip covered in spikes appeared out of thin air, also striking toward Martial Virtue Divine Lord.

A great battle erupted!

Under the fusang tree, the two Golden Crows and the Three-Headed Flood Dragon King looked up.

They had all surpassed the Mahayana Realm and could sense a terrifying pressure in the sky beyond.

They immediately grew tense. What on earth was happening?

Inside the Immortal Cave.

Han Jue finally found a way to instant-kill the two Demon Sages.

He immediately headed for the Void Realm.

The opponents had come with aggressive intent; they clearly weren't just passing through.

Either the Queen of Qingqiu had sent them for revenge, or they were here to deal with Tu Linger.

Regardless, since they came, they had to die!

Han Jue appeared in the Void Realm and witnessed Martial Virtue Divine Lord being ganged up on. It had to be said that these two Demon Sages were quite strong, directly suppressing Martial Virtue Divine Lord.

Martial Virtue Divine Lord secretly lamented his Luck.

"No wonder His Majesty wanted me to come. Two Demon Sages all at once—who could withstand this!"

Martial Virtue Divine Lord cursed inwardly, but he could only steel himself and keep fighting.

His body jolted and he rapidly grew in height, like a giant born in the Void Realm—a shocking sight.

He held his great saber high with both hands and slashed down in fury. The Void Realm was torn open, creating a long rift where lightning interlaced.

Terrifying Saber Qi erupted, washing out in all directions. The two Demon Sages were suppressed and forced back repeatedly.

Han Jue didn't strike immediately but watched the battle with great interest.

He would let Martial Virtue Divine Lord wear them down first; that way, an instant kill would be even easier.

Martial Virtue Divine Lord noticed Han Jue, but he didn't care. This fellow only had a True Immortal cultivation; he couldn't possibly intervene.

Han Jue took out the heavenly dao token and contacted Emperor Taibai while watching the battle.

Soon, the Divine Sense connection was established.

"Hey, why did you let two Demon Sages in? Martial Virtue Divine Lord is about to lose his grip," Han Jue said with dissatisfaction.

How could enemies enter the Heavenly Court's Mortal Realm whenever they wanted?

Emperor Taibai said helplessly, "The Heavenly Court is above the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm, while the Mortal Realms are below the Immortal Realm. With the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms, how could the Heavenly Court possibly protect every single Mortal Realm? You should help Martial Virtue Divine Lord."

"The Heavenly Fox Great Sage and the Dreamlike Female Demon—killing them won't bring even greater trouble, will it?"

"So it's them. Kill them. We're already in a life-and-death struggle with the Demon Court anyway."

"Understood."

The Divine Sense connection was cut.

Inside the Hall of Miraculous Mist.

Emperor Taibai looked up at the Heavenly Emperor and said, "The Heavenly Fox Great Sage and the Dreamlike Female Demon have gone to the Chiyun Realm."

The Heavenly Emperor said nonchalantly, "I saw. Since that kid dared to show himself, it means he isn't afraid. No need to worry."

"These two Demon Sages rarely act. Were they sent by the Queen of Qingqiu? I recall they don't belong to her."

"They are Demon Sages under the Demon Emperor. They must have come for the Magus Race."

Hearing this, Emperor Taibai's expression changed slightly.

The Magus Race!

That was an ancient race, so ancient that even Emperor Taibai had almost forgotten them.

Emperor Taibai asked cautiously, "Could it be that Han Jue is a descendant of the Magus Race?"

He had always been curious about Han Jue's background.

The Heavenly Emperor snorted. "How could that be? How could the Magus Race have someone so afraid of death?"

"True."

"It's the work of that one in the Underworld. Just like the Heavenly Court, they want to win over Han Jue. I've been turning a blind eye to it."

"If the Magus Race makes a comeback, will it affect the Heavenly Court?"

"That would be perfect. We can use Han Jue to win over the Magus Race."

Emperor Taibai suddenly understood and looked at the Heavenly Emperor with admiration.

His Majesty truly thinks far ahead.

The current Heavenly Court indeed needed more strength.

On the other side.

Han Jue took out the hongmeng judgment sword and walked toward the two Demon Sages.

The two Demon Sages currently fighting didn't take Han Jue seriously either, focusing their efforts on besieging Martial Virtue Divine Lord.

Han Jue's eyes narrowed. He suddenly swung his sword, one strike unleashing the Sword Qi Nine Heavens. It stood before the blade, condensing hundreds of millions of sword shadows.

In almost an instant, the Three Pure Ones World Extermination erupted!

Hundreds of millions of sword shadows charged with the momentum of collapsing the heavens, sweeping through everything!

Martial Virtue Divine Lord, the Heavenly Fox Great Sage, and the Dreamlike Female Demon all turned to look, their faces filled with terror.

This is… "Not good! Dodge!"

The Heavenly Fox Great Sage roared and quickly jumped away. The Dreamlike Female Demon's reaction was a bit slower, and the hundreds of millions of sword shadows were already upon her.
