Wang Yu
Chapter 1390 Ordering Immortals
"Has this calamity finally passed?"
In various realms, countless survivors looked at the sky above, gradually clearing of clouds, with a sense of having lived through an era. This thought arose in the hearts of all.
Since the beginning of Heaven and Earth, for billions upon billions of years, this was perhaps a disaster that could be called near-world-destroying, but it was by no means the only one.
It was just that, under the flow of the river of time, most creatures in Heaven and Earth were forgetful. As long as a realm was not truly destroyed, as long as there were still creatures that could survive in this realm, history would continue.
In disaster, the old balance was broken, and a new balance was gradually established.
As the saying goes, no destruction, no construction. Often, the arrival of a new era is nurtured by disaster.
...
The Netherworld of the Nine Hells, deep within the Yellow Springs Marsh.
Gan Jiuzhen looked at the vast River of Reincarnation, seemingly sensing something, already with tears streaming down her face.
Just then, accompanied by a low hiss, a dark red light descended from the sky, landing in front of Gan Jiuzhen, causing her to subconsciously take a few steps back.
But when she saw this ball of dark red light, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
This ball of dark red light hung in front of Gan Jiuzhen, and the surrounding red light suddenly dissipated, revealing a disc within, which was the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk. There was a faint mark on it, which seemed to be an ordinary man's face.
Gan Jiuzhen slowly stepped forward, raised her hand to gently stroke the mark on the disk, her expression gradually becoming firm, and murmured:
"Father, Mother, rest assured, Jiuzhen will painstakingly cultivate the Laws of Reincarnation and achieve the position of Dao Ancestor. At that time, I will definitely find a way... to revive you all."
...
At this moment, in the already fragmented and collapsing high sky of the Central Earth Immortal Domain, Han Li quietly looked ahead, without speaking.
Jin Tong flew over, transforming into a human form and standing quietly beside Han Li.
Just then, the void where the Chaos Vortex had been located split open, and over a hundred figures, looking disheveled, shot out from within, stopping far away from Han Li.
Leading them were eight people: Li Yuanjiu, Chi Rong, Chen Ruyan, Baiyun Daozu, the white-skirted plump woman from the Demon Domain, the dried corpse man, Bai Ze from the Savage Wilderness Realm, the bald man, and other eight Dao Ancestors.
Behind the eight, there were also dozens of cultivators, divided into three groups: those from the Heavenly Court, the Demon Domain, and the Savage Wilderness. Not a single person from the Grey Realm was seen, and Cangwu Zhenjun and the other three Dao Ancestors were nowhere to be found. Their fate was self-evident.
Liu Le'er, Li Qima, and others stood behind Bai Ze and the bald man.
Behind the white-skirted plump woman and her companion, there were more than a dozen people from the Demon Domain. The Third Prince Shi Pokong, the Fifth Princess Shi Jingyan, and that handsome prince in the late Da Luo stage were all there.
The group was covered in wounds and looked quite disheveled, as if they had suffered a great deal.
Han Li glanced at those people, not surprised.
He had sensed earlier that these people were still alive.
It was just that when the Palm Heaven Bottle collected the Chaos Vortex, the group was brought into a space storm and had only now emerged.
Li Yuanjiu and the others saw Han Li and Jin Tong standing in the void, and felt the almost boundless and terrifying pressure emanating from Han Li. They showed shocked expressions, and for a moment, no one dared to speak.
"Han Daoyou, what was the result of the great battle between you...?" After a long while, Bai Ze, who was slightly more familiar with Han Li, cleared his throat and asked.
"It's all over. Gu Huojin is dead, and the Three Thousand Daos God Array has also collapsed. This great calamity has passed," Han Li said solemnly.
Hearing this, Bai Ze and the others from the Savage Wilderness Realm, as well as the people from the Demon Domain, breathed a sigh of relief, and the cultivators behind them couldn't help but cheer.
The expressions of the people from the Heavenly Court were much more complicated, with joy as well as loss.
Baiyun Daozu sighed, then turned to look at the dozen or so remaining Heavenly Court cultivators behind him, his heart filled with sorrow.
He had joined the Heavenly Court partly because of Gu Huojin's promise to break through the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, but unlike Li Yuanjiu, Chen Ruyan, and others, he was loyal to the Heavenly Court and had been diligently managing it all these years.
Not long ago, the Heavenly Court was so majestic, its strength so great that no Immortal Domain in the True Immortal Realm dared to look down upon it. Now, in just one day, the world had turned upside down, and only so few people remained at the core of the entire Heavenly Court.
Even these people had barely survived because he and the other two Heavenly Court Dao Ancestors had tried their best to protect them. The other two Dao Ancestors had already been swallowed by the Three Thousand Daos God Array.
The Three Thousand Daos God Array devoured Dao Ancestors much faster than ordinary cultivators.
Perhaps this was because Dao Ancestors were closer to the Three Thousand Great Daos of the world.
"Where is the Demon Lord?" the white-skirted plump woman asked.
"Where is the Lord of the Reincarnation Palace?" Li Yuanjiu asked almost at the same time.
"The Lord of the Reincarnation Palace and the Demon Lord have both returned to nothingness," Han Li glanced at the two and said indifferently, not telling the people from the Demon Domain the truth about the Demon Lord's death.
Li Yuanjiu looked surprised, then frowned, wondering what he was thinking.
Chen Ruyan and Chi Rong Daozu also twitched their eyebrows.
The people from the Demon Domain, such as the white-skirted woman, were mostly surprised when they heard that the Demon Lord had fallen, with little sorrow.
Especially Shi Pokong, Shi Jingyan, and that handsome prince in the late Da Luo stage, a fiery light flashed in their eyes for power.
"My father avenged the great hatred of my Demon Clan's past sages, and his merit is immortal! Although the chief culprit is dead, accomplices like Baiyun Daozu are still there. Han senior, and fellow Daoists from the Savage Wilderness Realm, let's work together to completely eradicate this tumor that is the Heavenly Court!" The handsome prince turned his gaze and suddenly raised his arm and shouted loudly.
"That's right, blood for blood, flatten the Heavenly Court!" The other people from the Demon Domain immediately reacted and responded sharply.
Bai Ze and the bald man looked somewhat tempted when they heard this.
However, neither of them moved, and their eyes glanced at Han Li.
At this moment, they knew who had the most say.
Baiyun Daozu's face changed drastically. He waved his hand, and countless milky white clouds appeared out of thin air, enveloping the dozen or so Heavenly Court cultivators behind him, and shot away into the distance.
"Don't go!" A dim yellow light chased after him like lightning, it was the dried corpse man from the Demon Domain.
He and that enchanting woman were extremely close. Although they had not formed a Daoist couple, they had supported each other for countless years. The enchanting woman had fallen in the Three Thousand Daos God Array, and the dried corpse man hated the people from the Heavenly Court immensely.
He raised his hand and grabbed into the void, and the yellow light on his five fingers shone brightly.
With a "chi la" sound, the void above Baiyun Daozu's head moved, and a withered giant claw that covered the sky appeared, wrapped in strands of viscous yellow light, emitting the stench of rotting corpses.
With a grab of the withered giant claw, a large area of the nearby void collapsed, and a yellow spiritual domain spread out from it, covering Baiyun Daozu and the others with extreme speed.
Baiyun Daozu's expression changed, he stopped, and was about to cast a spell to resist.
Just then, a golden light suddenly came from the side, and without any time interval, it stood between the two.
The withered giant claw grabbed onto the golden light, and was immediately bounced back. The yellow spiritual domain touched the golden light, and with a "bang", it shattered and disappeared.
A figure appeared out of thin air in the golden light, it was Han Li.
Baiyun Daozu looked stunned at this scene.
"Han Daoyou, what are you doing?" the dried corpse man asked with a stiff face.
"The True Immortal Realm has suffered great damage from this calamity and urgently needs to recuperate. Gu Huojin is dead, and all past grievances should be written off. In the future, all major forces must not seek revenge or disputes, and you Dao Ancestors must not take action at will," Han Li shouted in a deep voice.
Although his tone was indifferent, it revealed a majesty almost like the might of the heavens, surpassing that of Gu Huojin in his time.
As this sound fell, it shattered the void and instantly spread throughout the True Immortal Realm.
At this moment, in all the Immortal Domains of the True Immortal Realm, all cultivators felt an irresistible might of the heavens pressing down from above, making them want to kowtow and fall to the ground on the spot.
Everyone present trembled violently, and fear arose in their hearts.
"Gu Huojin is dead, and the feud between our Savage Wilderness Realm and the Heavenly Court has been cleared. As long as the Heavenly Court no longer sends people to plunder our Savage Wilderness Realm, we will never provoke disputes without authorization," Bai Ze and the bald man said immediately.
Li Yuanjiu, Chi Rong, Chen Ruyan, and the white-skirted plump woman from the Demon Domain all nodded in agreement.
The dried corpse man looked at Han Li, his eyes revealing helplessness and fear.
"What, does Your Excellency have any questions about my words?" Han Li put one arm behind his back, without looking at the dried corpse man, an boundless pressure suddenly erupted, enveloping the dried corpse man.
The dried corpse man's face changed wildly, the void beneath his feet directly exploded, and he trembled all over. He seemed unable to bear this pressure, and slowly bent down, eventually kneeling there.
"Han Daoyou, Daoyou Duanmu is saddened by the death of Daoyou Helan, and that's why he was rude. I hope Han Dao... is magnanimous and forgives him this time. We will all obey your orders," the white-skirted plump woman said quickly upon seeing this.
Han Li glanced at the white-skirted plump woman, and the pressure on his body slightly subsided.
The dried corpse man gasped for breath, unable to get up for a while, and his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Han Li.
"It seems you understand," Han Li said calmly, turning his head to look at that handsome prince from the Demon Domain.
The handsome prince's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Considering that I once had some dealings with the Demon Lord, and you are a first-time offender, I will not pursue this matter. Although I am not interested in killing, if anyone dares to say similar words that provoke disputes again, this will be the consequence!" Han Li said lightly, and waved his sleeve.
Rumble!
The space around everyone flashed with golden light, and dozens of huge golden vortexes appeared, rotating rumblingly, like terrifying mouths, emitting extremely terrifying devouring power.
The space within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles around collapsed as easily as paper, and everything in the space turned into fine powder, swallowed by the golden vortexes.
The terrifying devouring power also enveloped everyone, and they immediately felt like a small boat in the raging waves of the deep sea, with the danger of capsizing at any time.
Some of the lower-level cultivators cried out in horror, and the handsome prince trembled, his eyes filled with fear.
Li Yuanjiu, Chen Ruyan, and other Dao Ancestors were also the same, unable to control their bodies at all.
Moreover, they could feel that these golden vortexes had not really exerted their power, otherwise they would have been swallowed long ago.
The power of time that twisted everything within the vortexes made them not doubt the consequences of being swallowed.
