Mystic Nether Heaven.
A grotto-heaven where humans, Magi, and Heavenly Demons lived harmoniously and had mixed forces was also one of the nine grotto-heavens.
At this moment, Perfected Youye, the controller of the Mystic Nether Heaven, the Magi Deva Batu, and the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Demon Race, Yun Xiao, were gathered on a floating island in the center of the Mystic Nether Heaven to discuss countermeasures.
Back then, in the battle for the Qian Heaven Palace in the Mystic Nether Heaven, Perfected Youye was far away from the Outer World and had yet to return. As for Batu, they had descended to the Origin World to partic.i.p.ate in the battle. Han Zhao had destroyed their Intrinsic Shaman Artifact and they were so frightened that they ran.
As for the other higher-up, Yun Xiao, he defected from Heavenly Demon Grotto-heaven. When he defected, he was severely injured by the combined attacks of many Holy Lords of Heavenly Demon Grotto-heaven. For nearly a thousand years, he stayed in Mystic Nether Heaven in seclusion to recover his divine weapon.
Heavenly Demon Grotto-heaven thought that among the eight grotto-heavens, only Heavenly Saint Grotto-heaven and Heavenly Demon Grotto-heaven were like fire and water. Freedom Heaven remained neutral all year round, the other grotto-heavens basically had some benefits to them.
Otherwise, if these upper echelons of the human race really wanted to unite, Heavenly Demon Grotto-heaven would have long been destroyed. It just depended on the price they had to pay.
At a certain level, longevity was far more important to cultivators than the compet.i.tion between races.
“Daoist Brother Youye, are you really going to become enemies with the Qian Heaven Palace?!” In a hall in the center of the floating island, Batu was a little worried about Perfected Youye’s unyielding att.i.tude.
Back then, Han Zhao, who had just advanced to the Deva Realm, could already beat him into fleeing. The current Han Zhao was already a major realm higher than before.
Perhaps one day in the future, escaping from Han Zhao would no longer be a humiliation, but the proudest moment of his life.
“Back then, I feigned civility with Han Zhao to prevent him from fighting us in a fit of anger and benefiting the other grotto-heavens. Now, he wants us to hand over the orthodoxy. This definitely won’t do!” Perfected Youye snorted coldly.
“Letting the grotto-heaven return to the Origin World is a great merit to the Heavenly Dao of this world. To us, it might not be worse than staying in the Mystic Nether Heaven to cultivate. We can also avoid becoming enemies with Han Zhao, so why not?” Batu persuaded.
“Once the grotto-heavens return to the Origin World, who can guarantee that Han Sen will fulfill his promise? Do you dare to make a Perfected Lord like him swear a Heavenly Dao oath?” Perfected Youye retorted.
Batu was speechless.
No one dared to force Han Zhao. Everything depended on Han Zhao’s trust.
However, if it were him, he might not be willing to share the Heavenly Dao Merit.
“Now that the world has changed, the Perfected Lords of the Heavenly Realm can already descend into this world. Even if the grotto-heavens return to the Origin World and obtain the Heavenly Dao Merit, giving such benefits to the Perfected Lords of the Heavenly Realm is also a huge merit. Why give it to Han Zhao?!” Perfected Youye said in a low voice.
“Brother Yun Xiao, what do you think?” Batu looked at Yun Xiao.
“Daoist Brother Youye is right. Otherwise, when the world changes a hundred years later and the Perfected Lord of the Heavenly Realm descends, we won’t be able to bear the blame,” Yun Xiao said in a low voice.
“This…” Batu felt that something was wrong.
“So what if it’s Han Zhao? From the beginning of Han Zhao’s cultivation until now, he seems to only be able to unleash extraordinary combat strength when dealing with the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Race. When facing us Devas, he basically relied on the suppression of world power to win a small victory. Now that our Mystic Nether Heaven has the Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light Array to suppress his spiritual meridians, even if Han Zhao comes, he can shed a layer of skin.”
Perfected Youye was full of confidence. The Perfected Lord of the Heavenly Realm was about to descend. As long as they could stall Han Zhao, victory was in their hands.
Rumble!
Just as the three of them were about to make a decision, a thunderclap suddenly sounded from the void of s.p.a.ce.
A black bolt of lightning descended from the sky and landed on the palace in the center of the floating island.
“Enemy attack!!” Batu was shocked and cried out, “It can’t be Han Zhao, right?!”
“What are you panicking for!” Perfected Youye snorted coldly. Han Zhao could use the power of the world power to kill the Weapon Lord in the Deva Realm. They could also use the power of the grotto-heaven and the Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light Array to kill Han Zhao.
“Swift!” Perfected Youye took out a palm-sized jade bottle from his pocket. He formed a seal with both hands and released black and white divine light from the bottle.
The floating island suddenly trembled, and an invisible suction force swept out from the island.
Five-colored pillars of light soared into the sky and formed an extremely mysterious array above the floating island.
At the same time, the void suddenly lit up, and a five-colored light barrier that was like an inverted jade bowl enveloped the floating island.
A shocking spiritual pressure filled the entire sky. When the seemingly indestructible black lightning was about to touch the five-colored light barrier, it suddenly froze and was instantly dissipated by the five-colored pillar of light.
Moreover, the five-colored pillar of light did not lose its momentum and shot into the sky, scattering the dark clouds that suddenly appeared above the floating island, revealing a ferocious black horned dragon.
“Hmm? It’s not Han Zhao? It’s a horned dragon?” Perfected Youye’s gaze focused as he subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief.
Han Zhao had crossed the Heavenly Realm in the Origin World. Even if he was suppressed in the grotto-heaven, he would be slightly smaller than the others. Although he said that Han Zhao was not worth mentioning, he still took him very seriously in his heart. Now that he saw that the enemy was not Han Zhao, he immediately felt much less pressure.
“The other party is also at the Perfected Lord Realm!” Holy Lord Yun Xiao’s gaze froze.
“Could it be that the Perfected Lord sent by the Heavenly Realm was just a misunderstanding?” Batu’s eyes lit up. With a Perfected Lord in the lower realm, there was no need to be afraid of Han Zhao.
