Chapter 484: Eternal Night Demon Palace, Fishing in Troubled Waters

"That works too; it's easier to fish in troubled waters."

Zhou Chen's lips curled into a slight smile. With a flicker of his body, he transformed into a wisp of breeze and vanished from the spot.

Since it was so lively outside, no one would be competing with him for the remaining opportunities in this Secret Realm.

Meanwhile, outside the Xuantian Sect.

The originally peaceful immortal blessed land had now turned into a Shura Field.

The Sect-Protecting Formation was teetering on the brink of collapse, its light barrier covered in shocking cracks.

Outside the Formation, a mass of black clouds that blotted out the sky pressed down. Within the black clouds, a figure resembling a demon god was faintly visible.

A bone-chillingly cold voice drifted from the black clouds, echoing throughout the sky above the Xuantian Sect.

"Little brats of the Xuantian Sect, hand over the xun inscription, and perhaps this seat can show some mercy and leave your corpses intact."

—

On the square in front of the Xuantian Sect's mountain gate, the atmosphere was so oppressive it was suffocating.

Thousands of Inner Sect Disciples held their Magic Treasures, forming battle Formations, their faces pale as they stared at the sky.

The fear coming from the depths of their Souls made the hands holding their swords tremble slightly.

The pressure of the Immortal Emperor Realm was simply a dimensional strike to these Disciples who had not yet achieved Immortal Ascension or had only just stepped into the True Immortal Realm.

If not for the Sect-Protecting Formation blocking it, this Aura alone could have shattered their heart meridians.

"Arrogant Devil Head! Cease your insolence!"

A furious shout came from the main Peak's hall.

Immediately after, ten streaks of light soared into the sky, instantly passing through the Sect-Protecting Formation and hovering in mid-air.

These ten people were exactly the ten Outer Sect Elders of the Xuantian Sect.

Every one of them had white hair and beards, and their bodies radiated the Aura of the Tenth Layer Immortal King Realm.

Although they were no match for the Devil Head in the sky in a one-on-one fight, by joining forces and forming the "Ten Directions Annihilation Formation," they could hold their own even against someone at the First Layer of Emperor Realm.

The leading Grand Elder was named Kumu. He leaned on a Dragon-headed cane, staring solemnly at the mass of black clouds.

"Who exactly is Your Excellency? Why have you invaded my Xuantian Sect without cause?"

Elder Kumu's voice was loud and clear, attempting to stall for time with words.

He had already secretly sent messages to the Sect Master and the Grand Elder who were in seclusion.

"Who am I?"

The black clouds churned and slowly dispersed.

A man wearing a black robe and a silver half-mask was revealed.

He stepped on the Void Realm, hands behind his back, his eyes sweeping contemptuously over the ten Elders below.

"Remember, the one who kills you is the 72nd Earthly Fiend Demon General under the Eternal Night Demon Palace—Demon General Mo Yubai."

Hearing the four words "Eternal Night Demon Palace," Elder Kumu's pupils constricted sharply.

In ancient records, this name represented taboo and despair.

"The Eternal Night Demon Palace has been destroyed for tens of thousands of years. Stop playing tricks here!"

Elder Kumu shouted, slamming his Dragon-headed cane into the Void Realm.

"Form the Formation!"

At his command, the other nine Elders simultaneously changed their hand seals.

Ten pillars of immortal power of various colors soared into the sky, interweaving into a massive net of light that enveloped Demon General Mo Yubai.

Lightning flashed and flames rose upon the light net, its power astonishing.

"Is this what you rely on?"

Demon General Mo Yubai looked at the overwhelming light net without even lifting an eyelid.

"Too weak."

He slowly reached out a hand. That hand was pale without a trace of blood, and the nails were as black as ink.

"Break."

Just a single word.

Demon General Mo Yubai's palm gently pressed downward.

"Boom!"

A stream of ink-black Devilish Qi instantly erupted from his palm.

This Devilish Qi was incredibly overbearing. The moment it touched the light net, a continuous sizzling sound could be heard.

The defensive net formed by the ten Peak Immortal Kings was instantly corroded, leaving a large hole.

"Pfft!"

With the Formation broken and their internal energies linked, the ten Elders spat out blood simultaneously, their figures swaying uncontrollably in the air.

"How is this possible?!"

Elder Kumu was filled with horror.

He knew the Immortal Emperor Realm was strong, but he hadn't expected it to be strong to this extent.

A casual strike had broken their Ten Directions Annihilation Formation.

This was simply not a battle on the same level.

"A group of ants, yet you dare to try and shake the heavens?"

Demon General Mo Yubai sneered. Without moving his body, the terrifying Devilish Qi transformed into a massive black hand that blotted out the sky, clawing fiercely at the ten Elders.

"Not good! Retreat!"

Elder Kumu roared, wanting to burn his Essence Blood to escape.

But that massive black hand seemed to contain some Law of spatial imprisonment. The surrounding space instantly became as thick as a swamp; no matter how they struggled, they couldn't move an inch.

"It's over…"

Despair spread through the hearts of the ten Elders.

The Disciples below were even more scared, their faces ashen. Some timid female Disciples had even covered their eyes and started screaming.

Just as the massive black hand was about to crush the ten Elders into meat paste.

"Devil Head, how dare you!"

A voice full of majesty seemed to come from above the Nine Heavens.

Immediately after, an extremely brilliant golden sword light shot out from the Forbidden Land in the back mountain of the Xuantian Sect.

This sword light was too bright, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.

"Slash!"

The sword light instantly struck the massive black hand.

That seemingly indestructible giant hand of Devilish Qi actually had two fingers severed by this single sword strike.

The Devilish Qi dissipated, and the ten Elders felt the pressure on them lighten. They quickly took the Opportunity to retreat back into the Sect-Protecting Formation, panting heavily, their faces covered in the cold sweat of a narrow escape.

Demon General Mo Yubai looked at his severed Devilish Qi fingers. Instead of being angry, he showed an excited smile.

"Finally willing to come out?"

He looked up toward the back mountain.

There, a golden figure was walking through the air. With every step, a golden lotus blossomed beneath his feet.

Xuantian Sect's Sect Master, Ling Tian.

First Layer Immortal Emperor Realm!

"Ling Tian, this seat has been waiting for you for a long time."

Demon General Mo Yubai licked his lips, and the Battle Intent in his eyes surged instantly.

Ling Tian stood in mid-air, his golden robes fluttering. Although his face was calm, deep in his eyes was a profound solemnity.

He could feel that the strength of the Devil Head before him was definitely not inferior to his own.

The Devilish Qi on the opponent was extremely strange, seemingly specifically designed to counter Immortal spiritual energy.

"Remnant of the Eternal Night Demon Palace, since you dare to show yourself today, then leave your life behind."

Ling Tian's long sword vibrated, and the sound of the sword's cry rang through the clouds.

The great battle was on the verge of breaking out. Two terrifying Immortal Emperor pressures collided fiercely.

One side was brilliant golden light, holy and vast; the other side was eerie Devilish Qi, blotting out the sky.

The sky above the entire Xuantian Sect was forcibly split into two halves: one half golden, one half pitch black.

At the boundary in the middle, spatial cracks continuously appeared and vanished like black lightning.

"Ling Tian, do you think you alone can stop this seat?"

Demon General Mo Yubai stood with his hands behind his back. Even facing Ling Tian, who was also in the Immortal Emperor Realm, his tone still carried that high-and-mighty playfulness.

Ling Tian didn't waste words and swung the long sword in his hand.

"Slash!"
