Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Xuan Tianyi merely grabbed out with his hand, but it gave all the cultivators a sense of the sky falling, with the heavens shaking and the earth roaring, reverberating in everyone's ears.

The cultivators of the Seven Star Spirit Realm also fought desperately to resist. Although their cultivation was high, it was only impressive compared to the cultivators outside the formation. Before Xuan Tianyi, they were insignificant.

Rumble——

The earth continuously shattered, overwhelming demonic energy surged forth like a volcanic eruption, and countless lightning bolts intertwined like dragons and snakes, converging in the palm of Xuan Tianyi's right hand.

At this moment, Xuan Tianyi's momentum reached its peak, white hair wildly fluttered, a madman expression, as if a demonic god had descended upon the world.

Ancestor Lin Lu steadied himself and quickly cast spells with both hands, pushing forward with a palm strike, the mana like a dragon emerging from the abyss, carrying the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth, fire and wind intertwined, sweeping across the shattered earth, heading straight for Xuan Tianyi.

In the face of this mana, everything in the world seemed insignificant!

Xuan Tianyi raised his hand. Facing the vast tide of wind and fire, he blocked it with one palm, causing the raging wind and fire to split apart, forming countless fire dragons scattering in all directions.

"Form the array, exterminate the demon!"

Ancestor Lin Lu roared angrily, and the other Seven Star Spirit Realm cultivators leaped away, distancing themselves from Xuan Tianyi.

Suddenly, the rolling dust behind Ancestor Lin Lu was scattered, and Xuan Tianyi stepped behind him, standing sideways.

Xuan Tianyi's eyes were filled with killing intent. With one palm strike, his hand ignited with demonic flames, penetrating Ancestor Lin Lu's chest, splattering blood.

Ancestor Lin Lu's eyes widened with a look of shock and anger.

Xuan Tianyi lifted his arm, following up with a dive, slamming Ancestor Lin Lu, who was impaled on his arm, into the shattered ground. He then began to wildly swing him around, causing the Seven Star Spirit Realm cultivators to panic, and the great cultivators from distant sects were horrified.

The evil demon, though not as exaggerated in size as the Demon Ancestors or Great Demon Kings, exuded an even more intimidating presence.

Ancestor Lin Lu transformed into a blood mist. In an instant, his body reappeared dozens of miles away, covered in blood, with his robe tattered, no longer composed as before.

Xuan Tianyi stepped out from the blood mist. As he looked up, countless sword shadows emitting silver light descended from the sky, engulfing him in an instant, causing dust to rise like a dragon swallowing the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Countless sword shadows bombarded the ground, causing the entire earth to tremble violently.

The ones casting the spells were dozens of Seven Star Spirit Realm sword cultivators. They floated high in the sky, each with their treasure sword inverted in front of them, the blades vibrating with a clear and piercing sound.

Watching the formidable sword array of the Seven Star Spirit Realm, the cultivators of various sects were elated. They retreated one after another, distancing themselves from the battlefield.

The difference in cultivation levels was too great. Even flying was difficult, so they had to expand the encirclement.

Lv Baitian grabbed An Hao and quickly retreated.

"Master, is there no hope?" An Hao looked at Lv Baitian, gritting his teeth.

Hearing that Xuan Tianyi had been possessed, his heart ached terribly.

Lv Baitian gazed at the chaotic and terrifying battlefield in the distance, speaking in a solemn tone, "The urgent task now is to eliminate the demon!"

Li Ya and Zhang Buku were also retreating. Their cultivation level was too low. Facing Xuan Tianyi's demonic power, they felt suffocated.

"Brother Li, there's no way to take advantage of this situation!"

Zhang Buku whispered urgently.

He felt that the Holy Land was not containing the evil demon.

Li Ya didn't speak. He was equally nervous.

In his eyes, the Holy Land was the most powerful force in the world. With the Holy Land leading the way, their pressure should be less.

But once the evil demon appeared, the situation was completely reversed, and even the mighty Holy Land was being suppressed?

On the other side.

Ancestor Lin Lu flew high into the sky, taking out various magic artifacts. While forming an array, he cast spells to attack Xuan Tianyi.

"What's going on… he shouldn't be this strong…"

Ancestor Lin Lu thought fearfully. He could feel that Xuan Tianyi was still growing stronger, even challenging a higher realm.

The realm above Loose Immortal!

In the Six Stars Cave, there was only one person in that realm, and that person was not on the continent.

After reaching the Realm of Immortal Path, most cultivators would not stay on the continent. He usually roamed the oceans and would not have returned if not for the family incident.

Before he could think further, a surge of demonic energy burst from beneath the sword array, scattering it. Dozens of Seven Star Spirit Realm sword cultivators spat blood and were sent flying.

This demonic energy, like a blade, pierced through the sky, aimed at Ancestor Lin Lu.

Too fast!

It was so fast that Ancestor Lin Lu couldn't dodge and could only instinctively use mana to defend.

Boom—

His figure was engulfed by demonic energy, and the clouds in the sky were also pierced. As the demonic energy dissipated, sunlight shone through the gap in the clouds.

All of the magic artifacts in front of Ancestor Lin Lu shattered, and though he barely managed to block it, he was covered in blood, looking miserable.

He was also at the Loose Immortal Realm, and at the eighth floor of cultivation, but before Xuan Tianyi, he was defenseless.

"Damn it…"

Ancestor Lin Lu roared, his mana bursting from within, further shattering the ground below. Earth spirit energy surged up like a celestial screen, covering hundreds of miles, grand and majestic, engulfing his figure.

Xuan Tianyi suddenly appeared behind one of the Seven Star Spirit Realm cultivators, grabbing his head. The cultivator's face showed terror.

Before he could resist, Xuan Tianyi directly extracted his soul, opening his mouth to forcibly devour it.

He then released his right hand, and the soulless cultivator collapsed to the ground.

This scene terrified the other Seven Star Spirit Realm cultivators, who fled in panic.

Xuan Tianyi immediately disappeared and reappeared behind a female cultivator, grabbing her head and devouring her soul. These Mahayana cultivators had no chance to resist in his presence.

Boom—

A gust of wind came, and Xuan Tianyi instinctively turned his head. He saw beam after beam of green light phantoms rushing out of the spiritual energy curtain covering half the sky. Each held different forms of magic artifacts, stood a hundred feet tall, and looked like celestial soldiers from another world, unstoppable.

…

The Third Medicine Valley.

Gu An sat at his desk, practicing calligraphy while watching the battle.

Possessed by the evil demon, Xuan Tianyi suppressed the Seven Star Spirit Realm alone. That Loose Immortal constantly displayed divine skills, shaking the heavens and earth, but was unable to harm Xuan Tianyi. Instead, he watched as Xuan Tianyi continuously devoured souls.

Gu An sensed that ten Loose Immortals were heading to the battlefield, flying in from the northern coast of the continent with great speed.

They should be reinforcements for the Seven Star Spirit Realm!

"Strange, there is still Xuan Tianyi's soul aura within him. It doesn't seem like possession, but the two are so perfectly integrated, it's as if they were originally one..."

Gu An wondered. He initially planned to act once the evil demon broke free, but he had to wait because of Xuan Tianyi.

The Seven Star Spirit Realm intended to use the evil demon to bolster their holy land's prestige while luring Xuan Tianyi into a trap, weakening the Supreme Sect's explicit power and reputation. It was truly sinister.

But the evil demon was on the verge of breaking through to Wandering Immortal, which shouldn't have been part of the Seven Star Spirit Realm's plan. Otherwise, Ancestor Lin Lu wouldn't have acted early, forcing the evil demon to break free prematurely.

The variable was Xuan Tianyi.

Xuan Tianyi seemed to have additional secrets unknown to others.

Thinking carefully, Xuan Tianyi's talent didn't seem trainable by the Supreme Sect, and his growth didn't involve training in the Seven Star Spirit Realm but rather heading south instead.

In any case, Gu An was determined to rescue Xuan Tianyi.

Now the Seven Star Spirit Realm found itself in a difficult situation, and it was perfect to use the evil demon to weaken the realm's power and prestige.

At the very least, let the other sects know that the Seven Star Spirit Realm was not invincible.

Gu An's eyes turned subtle when he saw Xuan Tianyi spared Ji Xuanling.

Besides Ancestor Lin Lu and Ji Xuanling, all the other Seven Star Spirit Realm cultivators had their souls devoured, leaving only their shells.

Without anyone to restrain him, Ancestor Lin Lu was no match for Xuan Tianyi either. Being in the same realm, it would be difficult for Xuan Tianyi to completely kill Ancestor Lin Lu in a short time.

Suddenly, Xuan Tianyi drilled deep into the ground. As soon as he disappeared, the ten Loose Immortals arrived.

In the battlefield of the Demon Land, the world turned dark, and the land was buried in overwhelming dust, resembling the early chaos of creation.

Ancestor Lin Lu looked around at his fellow disciples and said solemnly, "He's about to break through to Wandering Immortal!"

Upon hearing these words, the ten Loose Immortals' faces changed dramatically. Without needing further orders, they all plunged into the ground fissures, chasing after Xuan Tianyi.

Ancestor Lin Lu took out an elixir and swallowed it, then began cultivating energy mid-air to heal.

His face was grim, filled with fear.

The Lin Family had already lost Startling Immortal Lin, the most talented family member in history, and their plans involving the Seven Star Spirit Realm were nearly exposed. He came this time to redeem himself, but hadn't expected the evil demon to be so powerful.

Ten thousand years ago, the evil demon had just reached the Loose Immortal realm. How was he so strong now?

Was there another's influence behind the evil demon?

His first thought was Sword Venerable Fudao.

Sword Venerable Fudao could easily kill a Loose Immortal and was likely a Wandering Immortal. The Six Stars Cave had only one Wandering Immortal, and without knowing Sword Venerable Fudao's true identity, they did not dare act rashly.

Could Sword Venerable Fudao be someone from a great sect at sea, specifically targeting the Seven Star Spirit Realm?

"Three hundred years ago, we shouldn't have let the Ephemera Sect in!"

Ancestor Lin Lu hated bitterly. The Six Stars Cave had numerous factions and his family couldn't dominate. But now, the main loss fell on the Lin Family.

The disciples just devoured, most came from the Lin Family; how could he not hate?

At the same time.

The Supreme Sect and other sects had retreated ten thousand miles away, sensing only two auras of Seven Star Spirit Realm cultivators, making them even more afraid.

"Even the Holy Land can't suppress the evil demon?"

"Without the Holy Land, we would've been dead already."

"The Holy Land does live up to its name, but its foundation is…"

"Could we ultimately rely on Sword Venerable Fudao?"

"I suspect he'll only act when the evil demon reaches the Three Dynasties border. We're truly useless, always troubling him…"

The cultivators discussed, while the Supreme Sect remained somber.

Xuan Tianyi being possessed by the evil demon was a huge blow to their morale.

Lv Baitian looked into the distance, his face dark and eyes flashing.

An Hao had calmed down, waiting for the outcome. He hadn't yet connected Xuan Tianyi's plight to the Holy Land, only cared for Xuan Tianyi's safety.

However, it didn't take long before an even more terrifying demonic energy erupted from the ground, startling everyone.
