Chapter 467 Aliens and catastrophe!

Each time the Black Robed Man appeared, he deliberately concealed his appearance.

When Li Xuanfeng killed the Black-Robed Sage in the Barren Abyss Land, he did see what he looked like—a very ordinary middle-aged man—but that was certainly not his true appearance.

Moreover, the Black Robed Man's Saint Power was also very strange, always giving Li Xuanfeng a sense of disharmony.

He knew that even if he blew the Black Robed Man into billions of blood mist, dissecting the power contained in every piece of flesh and blood, it would be difficult to pinpoint the source of that disharmony, and even more impossible to use it to identify their true identities.

Across the entire Canglan Realm, Cultivators above the Saint realm were quite rare. With one hundred and eight continents, each containing Saints, the number of Saints might seem considerable.

But this was accumulated over millions of years!

The Tianluo Continent had billions of Cultivators, and counting the Blood River Saint who was killed, and Li Xuanfeng, that anomaly, there were only seven Saints.

The one hundred and eight continents plus the endless sea, the Cultivators of various races were countless. Extending the time scale to millions of years, the number of Cultivators born during this period became immeasurable.

Long years combined with an immeasurable base of Cultivators, it was not surprising to accumulate a certain number of Saints.

However, even so, the number of beings who could reach the Saint realm was countable. In any force, they were extremely precious and rare existences, certainly not nobodies, enough to command the respect and awe of countless Cultivators.

Yet, in that force specifically hunting Prodigies, these powerful existences, who stood above billions of beings, were willing to hide their identities to deal with Prodigies like Leng Wuyan, Ye Qingqing, and Li Xuanfeng. They would do so even if it caused their own Saint Power to be disharmonious.

If it wasn't for an insurmountable power above them forcing them, then there must be immense benefits that made them willing to make such sacrifices.

"Their methods of concealing their identities are indeed superb; it's impossible to deduce their identities through their appearance or the power they use."

"Moreover, their Souls are also set with various Restrictions, so even if Master's main body personally acts, no useful information can be obtained through Soul-searching."

Lian Yue Zhou said, looking at Li Xuanfeng.

Back in the Star Realm, when Li Xuanfeng crushed the Jade Slip, Lian Yue Zhou, using the phantom imprint as a medium, forcibly brought down power comparable to a Saint King. Besides helping Li Xuanfeng resolve the crisis, she also wanted to take the opportunity to Soul-search that Black Robed Saint King.

However, all his traces were forcibly self-destructed and erased, and even Lian Yue Zhou couldn't stop it.

"There is the shadow of a supreme expert behind them, and most likely more than one."

Lian Yue Zhou said.

This was beyond doubt; only the methods of a supreme expert could restrict another supreme expert.

"Originally, Master's investigation had some clues, but only in the last two years did I discover that things are not that simple."

"Behind them, there are not only supreme experts from the Canglan Realm but also the shadow of the God Race!"

Lian Yue Zhou looked at Li Xuanfeng.

She had just discussed this matter with Ye Qingqing, and now she was mainly telling Li Xuanfeng.

"God Race?"

Li Xuanfeng's expression shifted.

When the Blood River Saint first appeared looking for Li Xuanfeng, Li Xuanfeng was at Hundred Sword Mountain, and Lian Yue Zhou had told him many secrets of the Canglan Realm.

But she had not mentioned the so-called God Race.

"Did you see some scenes in Xuan Emperor's Legacy space?"

Lian Yue Zhou did not immediately explain about the God Race to Li Xuanfeng but asked in return.

"Chaos Power eroded the Universe, and the Star Realm is a star system Xuan Emperor forcibly extracted from it."

Li Xuanfeng nodded.

"That was a catastrophe that swept the Universe a million years ago. After the catastrophe, great emperors fell, the Heavenly Dao became incomplete, and later generations could no longer become emperors."

Lian Yue Zhou said.

"That catastrophe was related to the God Race?"

Li Xuanfeng understood Lian Yue Zhou's meaning.

"Exactly, and the God Race is still here, showing signs of a comeback."

Lian Yue Zhou nodded.

As if to enlighten Li Xuanfeng, her slender jade hand swiped across the air in front of her, and a phantom image appeared out of thin air.

It was the vast and boundless Universe starry sky, filled with endless Chaos Power, devouring the starry sky, obliterating the Heavenly Dao, as one cultivation planet after another fell, and one cultivation plane after another collapsed.

Chaos Power surged from all directions of the great Universe, attacking the last supreme plane.

And that supreme plane was precisely the Canglan Realm!

A majestic figure whose face could not be seen stood in the starry sky, facing the endless Chaos alone.

That was a great emperor, but not Xuan Emperor.

The great emperor spanned the starry sky, blocking the erosion of Chaos Power with his single power.

Within the Chaos, tall figures like divine demons were densely packed. They carried the momentum of world destruction, crushing everything, aiming to extinguish the last supreme plane—the Canglan Realm!

However, with one sword strike, the great emperor annihilated countless divine demons, forced back the endless Chaos, and the entire great Universe seemed to return to normal, except that countless cultivation worlds with depleted spiritual Qi could never recover.

Then, the great emperor turned and struck the Canglan Realm with another sword.

Layers of space collapsed, and the endless Void Realm surrounded the Canglan Realm. Any being who wished to enter the Canglan Realm had to pass through that seemingly endless realm of nothingness.

The endless Void Realm completely severed the connection between the Canglan Realm and the Universe starry sky; this was both a cage and a protection.

After doing all this, the great emperor crossed the Universe and merged into the endless Chaos.

Whoosh~

The image dispersed, and everything vanished.

The content was not extensive, but for Li Xuanfeng, the information was considerable.

"Are those god-demon-like beings the God Race?"

Li Xuanfeng asked, looking at Lian Yue Zhou.

"Yes, we call them the God Race, foreign race, or evil race; they call themselves the God Race."

Lian Yue Zhou nodded.

"The God Race has not been annihilated. Their main base is in the endless Chaos space outside the Universe, but their vanguards have always been stationed in the Universe starry sky, wanting to invade the Canglan Realm."

"Although the Void Realm is endless, even for supreme experts, it's almost impossible to pass through. But the God Race has many methods and has sent in many powerful individuals. To resist them, we have established 'Boundary Gates' in the Void Realm!"

"There are nine Boundary Gates in the Void Realm, each guarded by one of the nine supreme experts of the Canglan Realm."

Lian Yue Zhou continued.

Li Xuanfeng's expression shifted. Although Lian Yue Zhou hadn't finished speaking, he already knew Master's meaning.

"Originally, I thought that the force hunting Prodigies was only related to other supreme experts, but in the past two years, I discovered that it's not just that; there's also the shadow of the God Race behind them!"

When Lian Yue Zhou spoke of this, a murderous intent flashed in her Phoenix eyes.

This was the first time she had shown such emotion in front of Li Xuanfeng.

"Master, are you saying that some supreme experts are colluding with the God Race?"

Li Xuanfeng frowned slightly.

It was clear that the God Race was an enemy of the Canglan Realm. Colluding with the enemy to hunt down their own Prodigies was an act that could be said to have no bottom line.

Lian Yue Zhou nodded.

"Master, do you know which supreme experts they are?"

Li Xuanfeng asked.

"I have some guesses, but without evidence, I cannot be certain."

Lian Yue Zhou said.
