Chapter 474 Space-Time Sevenfold Realm

The Demon Lord was very special, and its level of power far exceeded that of a top Jade Immortal.

After all, demons were condensed from a wisp of Devilish Qi from the Demon Abyss Ancestor.

And the Demon Lord was the Ultimate form born from endless demons.

It was no exaggeration to say it was the Incarnation of the Demon Abyss Ancestor.

Therefore.

Throughout successive battles between Immortals and demons, the Immortals of the Immortal Realm feared the Demon Lord the most.

As for those ordinary demons?

Even if their numbers were endless, it was impossible for them to break through the defensive Formations of the major Immortal cities.

They just needed to endure until the passage of the Demon Abyss descent dissipated.

Having experienced several battles between Immortals and demons, Yun Zhenzi was well aware of the terrifying nature of the Demon Lord. Even with the aid of a large-scale war Immortal Artifact like an Immortal city, such a demon could at most be severely injured, with basically no hope of being killed.

However, now.

The Demon Lord, which in Yun Zhenzi's eyes required the power of an entire Immortal city to barely rival…

…was struggling bitterly between Lin Yuan's fingers.

"Master." Yun Zhenzi's mind was like mush.

Although when he originally entered Lin Yuan's mental will world, he had seen that towering figure with his own eyes, which symbolized incomparable mental will…

…it had almost made Yun Zhenzi think, could Lin Yuan be the supreme Immortal Path Ancestor?

But Yun Zhenzi quickly abandoned this thought because the Immortal Path Ancestor was very different from Lin Yuan.

The Immortal Path Ancestor resided high above in the Immortal Realm Source Land, overlooking all Immortals, and Lin Yuan clearly was not like that.

Over the years, Lin Yuan had displayed terrifying Alchemy attainments and methods that even top Jade Immortals could not match, but there was still a huge gap compared to the Immortal Path Ancestor.

Yet now?

Yun Zhenzi fell into confusion once again.

Catching all-encompassing demons with one hand, including six Demon Lords among them—who else could achieve such a method besides the Immortal Path Ancestor?

Jade Immortals?

No matter how many Jade Immortals there were, as long as they dared to leave the Immortal city and lose its protection, they were nothing more than delicious food in the eyes of the Demon Lord.

Ever since the Demon Abyss appeared, there had never been an instance where any Jade Immortal relied on their own strength to briefly contend with a Demon Lord.

They couldn't even contend with one, let alone suppress them, and suppress six at once at that.

"Demon Lords?" Lin Yuan looked at his right palm, his gaze falling upon those six Demon Lords.

He was about to step into the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm, almost touching the threshold of this level, but in the end, he was disturbed by these demons, causing Lin Yuan slight impatience.

That was why he directly made a move.

If it could be said that when he had just descended to the Immortal Realm, Lin Yuan still needed to keep a low profile and endure whatever he could to avoid facing the gaze of the Immortal Path Ancestor or the Demon Abyss Ancestor in advance…

…then nowadays…

…with the Breakthrough to the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm imminent, there was no longer any need to deliberately endure.

Even now, Lin Yuan possessed certain characteristics of the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm.

For instance, completely suppressing six Demon Lords with a single palm—this kind of suppression was not suppression in terms of absolute strength.

Currently, apart from his mental will, this Solar Nascent Soul of Lin Yuan was not stronger in other aspects than a single Demon Lord.

Breaking through to the Eleven-Tier in the Immortal Realm did not involve an infusion of the Immortal Realm Origin, so even with the blessing of the Mysterious Gourd, the Internal World of the Solar Nascent Soul was only hundreds of millions of miles in radius.

As for the Physical Body, most of the resources obtained in the Immortal Realm were sent to the true body as much as possible, so the physical strength of the Solar Nascent Soul was merely at the level of a normal Demon Lord.

The endless demons and the six Demon Lords struggled in Lin Yuan's palm, and the fundamental reason lay in the suppression of the Space-Time Domain.

Lin Yuan had tightly suppressed all the demons through the Space-Time Rule Domain.

With Lin Yuan's current space-time comprehension, even if he truly faced the Immortal Path Ancestor or the Demon Abyss Ancestor, he would still be able to handle it with ease.

The most crucial thing was that what Lin Yuan used at this moment was merely his Solar Nascent Soul, which could be completely discarded at a necessary moment.

His true body was hidden in a secretive and unknown place, where Karma and space-time were isolated. Even a Twelve-Order Ultimate like the Immortal Path Ancestor would have to spend a massive amount of time to find and lock onto it.

Therefore, for Lin Yuan at this moment in this Immortal Realm, there was basically no existence that could make him cautious and fearful. Once he fully stepped into the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm, he would look down upon everything without any fear.

"These Demon Lords…" Lin Yuan observed the six Demon Lords between his fingers, even though he was crushing these Demon Lords at the rule level.

But Lin Yuan would not underestimate them either. After all, these Demon Lords essentially came from the Demon Abyss Ancestor and were a part of this Twelve-Order Ultimate.

"This feeling?"

Lin Yuan frowned. Observing ordinary demons was fine, but these Demon Lords actually displayed a side completely opposite to the Immortals who cultivated the Immortal Dao cultivation system.

It was just like white and black, life and death.

"Where is this?"

"What kind of place is this?"

The six Demon Lords were completely unaware of Lin Yuan's observation, but having suddenly been transported to a different world, every single one of them became extremely panicked.

They were born in the Demon Abyss, and aside from the omnipresent Demon Abyss Ancestor, they had never felt such terror before.

"Why can't I sense the Demon Abyss anymore?"

"Right, I can't sense it either."

The scalps of the Demon Lords tingled. To them, the Demon Abyss was definitely not as simple as just a lair.

It also had an effect similar to a source.

Any Demon Lord could sense the aura of the Demon Abyss at all times, and as long as they wished, they could instantly return to the Demon Abyss.

But now.

The mighty Demon Abyss, which was almost comparable to the Immortal Realm, had vanished into thin air.

To be precise, it wasn't that the Demon Abyss had vanished, but that they could no longer sense the existence of the Demon Abyss.

"It's of no use to me for the time being."

Lin Yuan observed for a moment, shook his head slightly, and gently exhaled a breath.

In a split second, the world within his palm collapsed in space-time, and endless demons turned into dust before the boiling space-time. Those six Demon Lords persisted for a few breaths before likewise being reduced to ashes.

All the demons were pulverized by the power of space-time, and then turned into the most primitive Devilish Qi by the Primal Power.

This most primitive Devilish Qi belonged to the Demon Abyss Ancestor. Lin Yuan suppressed it also to study that Demon Abyss Ancestor sleeping deep within the Demon Abyss.

"Hmm?"

Just after the leading Demon Lord among the six Demon Lords completely perished, hundreds of millions of miles away from Cangwu Immortal City, the remaining Devilish Qi gathered and formed a figure once again.

However, compared to the towering stature of a normal Demon Lord, this figure was a whole circle smaller, and its aura was weak, having plummeted to the level of a normal Jade Immortal.

"I survived?"

This Demon Lord wore a look of wild joy. Most Demon Lords were invincible in themselves and had not prepared any life-saving methods at all.

But this Demon Lord was naturally cautious. Even when attacking a sure-win Cangwu Immortal City, it had left behind a wisp of will hidden elsewhere beforehand.

Now it had truly come in handy. Its true body had fallen, but its will had revived, and it could be considered 'resurrected'.

"Demon Abyss."

The Demon Lord summoned the Demon Abyss without hesitation, wanting to escape into the Demon Abyss.

From beginning to end, it didn't know why its true body had died, nor whose hands it had died in.

But that didn't prevent the Demon Lord from feeling terrified; if it didn't escape now, it really wouldn't be able to escape.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The vast phantom of the Demon Abyss descended.

Resembling a towering giant mouth, it was about to swallow the Demon Lord in one gulp.

But the next moment.

A giant hand composed entirely of space-time reached out.

It forcibly snatched this Demon Lord away right under that towering giant mouth.

The power of the Demon Abyss permeated and lingered for a moment before rapidly dissipating in the end.

"Still want to run?"

Looking at the ant within his palm, Lin Yuan crushed it casually and re-suppressed the Origin Devilish Qi.

"The Immortal Path Ancestor still hasn't made any movement?"

From the time Lin Yuan made his move until now, most of his mental energy had not been placed on the demons, but rather on paying attention to the movement of the Immortal Path Ancestor in the Immortal Realm Source Land.

Catching all-encompassing demons in his hand with a single palm, the combat power Lin Yuan displayed was already close to the Twelfth Order, which might attract the notice of that Immortal Path Ancestor.

In fact, this was also Lin Yuan's probing of the Immortal Path Ancestor, wanting to figure out what state the other party was truly in.

"Forget it."

Lin Yuan waited for a moment and found that the Immortal Realm Source Land still had no reaction at all, so he simply turned around and entered the Cultivation area, intending to take that final step and step into the level of the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm.

Lin Yuan easily resolved all the demons, even snatching away a Demon Lord right in front of the Demon Abyss, and then turned around to continue his secluded cultivation.

It seemed like a long time had passed, but in reality, it was only a matter of a few breaths.

In Cangwu Immortal City, countless Immortals had been fleeing in panic and utter despair just a moment ago, only to discover the next moment that the endless demons making the entire Immortal city totter had actually vanished?

It wasn't that just one of them vanished, nor was it that a certain part vanished, but that all of them vanished completely.

If not for the collapsed ground buildings within the Immortal city, many Immortals would probably have thought that everything they experienced just now was an illusion.

"Where are the demons?"

"What happened?"

"I have no idea. Where are those demons?"

"Could they have retreated?"

Countless Immortals were somewhat stunned, and they communicated quickly, but overall, they all let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Compared to the bewildered Immortals, the many high-ranking giants of Cangwu Immortal City felt deeply shocked inside.

"The demons retreated?"

"It's absolutely impossible for them to retreat."

"Right, sixty percent of the defensive Formations of Cangwu Immortal City had already collapsed. If it continued for a little longer, those six Demon Lords would have been able to slaughter their way into the Immortal city. Would they retreat at a time like this?"

"Indeed."

The high-ranking giants of the Immortal city understood far more information than other Immortals, and they were very clear about what state the defensive Formations of Cangwu Immortal City were on the verge of.

Although they were extremely reluctant to accept it, many Jade Immortals could deduce that the outcome of Cangwu Immortal City would be swallowed up by endless demons.

And these top Jade Immortals of theirs would also be divided and eaten by those Demon Lords.

Yet right at the final moment, all the demons vanished?

The high-ranking giants of the Immortal city were no fools, and they knew very well the nature of those demons—they would not give up a delicacy right at their mouths.

"They didn't retreat. Could they have been dealt with?"

"Dealt with? Did the Dao Ancestor himself make a move?"

The City Lord's heart stirred. Working together, six Demon Lords could tear open the defensive Formations of the Immortal city. Aside from the aloof Dao Ancestor, he could not think of any other existence that could resolve this so easily.

"Grandmaster he…" Among the many top Jade Immortals, a young-looking Jade Immortal hesitated slightly and said while shaking his head.

He was the grand-disciple of the Dao Ancestor and knew that the Dao Ancestor would definitely not make a move during this period of time, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed three Immortal cities to be breached.

"It wasn't the Dao Ancestor who made a move?"

The City Lord and other high-ranking giants fell into silence, believing it by more than half.

After all, if the Dao Ancestor had made a move, Immortal might would inevitably shroud the entire Immortal Realm, all demons would retreat completely, and the Demon Abyss would also have to withdraw far away. But right now, besides Cangwu Immortal City, demons were still running amok in other Immortal Domains of the Immortal Realm.

This did not fit the circumstances of the Dao Ancestor making a move.

However.

It wasn't the Dao Ancestor who made a move.

Then who else could be making a move?

Besides the Dao Ancestor, what other existence in the Immortal Realm had the means to resolve six Demon Lords in an instant?

The City Lord and other high-ranking giants could not understand.

"Have you guys noticed that the Immortal Cave area of the Immortal city is a bit abnormal?"

Just as the many high-ranking giants of the Immortal city were racking their brains in thought, a vice City Lord began to check the general situation of the Immortal city and immediately discovered an anomaly.

Under the siege of endless demons and the six Demon Lords, the defensive Formations of Cangwu Immortal City had collapsed for the most part, and various internal Formations had likewise been damaged in disarray.

Right now, the entire Cangwu Immortal City looked like a sieve riddled with holes, allowing one to see right through from this side to the other.

And the many high-ranking giants of the Immortal city present, who possessed partial control over the Immortal city Formation, could view the entire Immortal city from beginning to end without any obstruction.

After all, the current Cangwu Immortal City was equivalent to half a ruin, with most of the Formations collapsed, making it hard to conceal any secrets.

Under this circumstance.

In the Immortal Cave area of the Immortal city, a certain Grade-A Immortal Cave remained intact, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding Immortal Caves that were also Grade-A.

If it were just that, it would be fine; perhaps this Immortal Cave was simply lucky and hadn't been impacted by the aftermath.

But when the vice City Lord presently utilized the remaining permissions of the Immortal city Formation and still couldn't peer into that Grade-A Immortal Cave in the slightest, he immediately realized something was wrong.

Moreover, under the situation of demons besieging the city, basically all the Immortals in the Immortal Cave area had fled out of their Immortal Caves. Aside from this Grade-A Immortal Cave, all the other Immortal Caves were completely empty.

Such an anomaly naturally attracted the attention of the many high-ranking giants of the Immortal city.

"This Immortal Cave…"

The City Lord's expression changed slightly.

As a top Jade Immortal, he also sensed that compared to the other panicked Immortal Cave owners, this Grade-A Immortal Cave appeared incomparably calm, without the slightest intention of fleeing from the Immortal Cave.

It was as if it had long known that those demons outside would be dealt with.

This made the City Lord unable to help forming associations—perhaps the owner of this Grade-A Immortal Cave had some connection with the existence that resolved those demons outside the Immortal city?

"Could it be Great Master Yun Zhenzi's Immortal Cave?" The Hall Master of Feixian Hall was also somewhat incredulous.

"You know the owner of this Immortal Cave?" The City Lord's gaze immediately looked over, and the other Immortal city giants also looked over.

Many Jade Immortals present had the authority to check the information of the Grade-A Immortal Cave owners within the Immortal city.

But knowing the identity of the Immortal Cave owner didn't mean knowing them.

Inside the Immortal Cave.

At this moment, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, and numerous flashes of comprehension began to burst forth within his mind.

Without the disturbance of those demons outside, Lin Yuan's space-time comprehension continued to advance by leaps and bounds, striding toward the final step.

"Space-time, space-time, so this is space-time!"

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a smile emerging on his face.
