As Li Xiaotian shouted, he threw the demonic sword in his hand and simultaneously controlled the Dragon King Hall to open its gates.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the sky darkened.
Terrifying demonic energy surged from the Dragon King Hall, engulfing the entire Yan State in endless darkness.
At this moment, terrifying auras erupted from all over the Nine States.
"What is this?!"
"Demon Lord? No, it's not him!"
"Invincible!!"
"How can such a strong existence still be in the world?"
The supreme experts of the nine states exclaimed in shock, and then they instantly descended upon Yan State.
At the same time, in a boundless void, a fleeting silhouette flickered and also descended towards Yan State.
In the demonic energy, as the Dragon King Hall opened, everyone paused their actions.
A terrifying pressure rendered them immobile.
"Who is it? That invincible expert?" the Lord of the Desolation Hall shouted in fear.
"Li Xiaotian, what have you done?" Huang Mang's voice trembled.
In the darkness, a figure in ancient attire appeared above everyone.
The demonic sword floating in the air was grasped in his hand, humming with pleasure.
"Demon Lord!!" the Lord of the Desolation Hall cried out, his voice filled with terror.
"Hahaha, after ten thousand years, I have finally emerged!"
He was the Demon Lord, Li Xiaotian's greatest trump card.
Yes, the Demon Lord had recovered!
Ten days ago, Li Xiaotian had gone to the secret realm where his golden body was forged, found the corpse of that invincible expert, and then had the Demon Lord devour it.
This helped the Demon Lord recover his strength, and even become stronger than before!
The corpse of an invincible expert and the Demon Lord, these two trump cards combined.
They could instantly turn the tide of the battle!
However, it would also attract greater danger.
This was something the Demon Lord only understood after his recovery.
Li Xiaotian would not have exposed this trump card unless it was absolutely necessary.
But, he had no other choice.
If he didn't reveal it, everyone he knew and cared about would die.
"Hehehe, brat, let me show you what a true powerhouse is like!"
The Demon Lord chuckled and then swung his sword.
"Buzz!" A beam of light erupted from the darkness.
Immediately after, several giant figures instantly disintegrated.
These were the experts from Man State; the Demon Lord's single sword strike felled six giants.
"Demon Lord! How dare you!"
The ancestor of the Ancient God Tribe roared, his eyes red.
But the Demon Lord paid no heed and swung his sword again.
Another group of giant bodies cracked open.
"Brat, devour them all. There's a tough battle ahead!"
The Demon Lord said to Li Xiaotian, then swung his sword once more.
At this moment, including the ancestor of the Ancient God Tribe and the Xing Tian ancestor, two top experts exploded.
The battlefield fell silent.
Everyone stared with wide eyes, utterly shocked.
The Demon Lord annihilated thirteen Heavenly-level experts from Man State with three sword strikes!
What kind of power was this?
Was it invincible?
The Lord of the Desolation Hall and others were already deathly pale, standing frozen, their foreheads covered in sweat.
They were no match for such a terrifying Demon Lord!
Li Xiaotian did not delay, transforming into a sea of blood and madly devouring the corpses of the Heavenly-level experts from Man State.
The corpses of thirteen Heavenly-level experts, if all devoured, could be imagined to be Li Xiaotian's final strength.
"Xiaotian, no!"
From a distance, Dao Xuan shouted a reminder.
"Child, stop devouring, or you won't be able to return!" Venerable Yue said.
But Li Xiaotian ignored them and continued to devour desperately. He knew that the demonic energy would soon dissipate, and by then, everything that had happened here would be known to the outside world.
The most dangerous enemies would arrive.
He had to devour!
"Let him devour," the Demon Lord said, then looked up at the sky with a murderous intent, continuing to speak.
"If we win this battle, humanity gains greatly. If we lose, humanity is destroyed!"
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked and incredulous.
There was still a war? Weren't all the enemies killed by you?
The Lord of the Desolation Hall and others dared not resist; the battle had already ended.
Why did the Demon Lord say this?
They didn't understand.
"Hehehe," the Demon Lord chuckled, offering no explanation.
As Li Xiaotian devoured more and more, his aura soared rapidly, becoming equal to the Lord of the Desolation Hall in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, the Lord of the Desolation Hall turned pale, and Huang Mang and the others fell into despair.
This time, they were doomed.
But at the same time, they felt a sense of grim satisfaction. Li Xiaotian had devoured so many powerful beings that he would likely never be separated from the sea of blood again; he had completely betrayed humanity.
Such a Li Xiaotian would not be forgiven by the powerful figures of humanity.
"Boom!" A world-shattering aura erupted from Li Xiaotian's body. At this moment, a pressure no weaker than the Demon Lord's descended once more.
A supreme expert!
The corpses of thirteen Heavenly-level experts had finally made Li Xiaotian a supreme expert.
However, there were endless future troubles.
But Li Xiaotian had no choice, the Demon Lord had no choice, they had foreseen this moment long ago.
Li Xiaotian glanced at the Lord of the Desolation Hall and the others, extended his hand.
Instantly, the Lord of the Desolation Hall and the others all turned into blood and flew into Li Xiaotian's body, without even a chance to scream.
At this moment, Li Xiaotian was incredibly demonic, as if he were no longer human.
"Xiaotian!" Ye Qingmei whispered, her body trembling slightly.
Li Xiaotian looked at Ye Qingmei and gave a gentle smile; he was still himself, he hadn't changed.
"What is it all for? Demon Lord, Xiaotian, is there anything we cannot know?" Venerable Yue asked, already having some suspicions.
"Of course, an enemy capable of destroying all of humanity is about to arrive, or rather, two," the Demon Lord said with a playful, unrestrained air.
"What?" Hearing this, Venerable Yue cried out, his body shaking. Everyone present was also shocked.
An enemy that could destroy all of humanity, was it an invincible expert?
But the invincible experts had already departed.
"Senior Yue, it's true. You all know the secret of the Sea of Blood, but do you know that when the ancient heavens were in slumber, the Demon Lord was assassinated by an invincible expert?" Li Xiaotian said.
His words struck like a thunderbolt, causing everyone present to change their expressions drastically.
Yes, all the invincible experts of ancient humanity had disappeared, but one invincible expert had not left.
Therefore, when Li Xiaotian received the Demon Lord's legacy, he had heard the words about a traitor among humanity.
The invincible experts had all gone to battle, but one had not participated and had even assassinated the Demon Lord. Wasn't that a traitor?
At the same time, outside the demonic energy of Yan State.
The nine supreme experts all looked at the phantom silhouette in the sky, each with a wary expression.
This was because they could not discern the opponent's strength.
With the departure of the invincible experts of ancient humanity, only one supreme expert was left to guard each state. Besides these nine, there could not be anyone stronger.
Except, of course, the Demon Lord, because he was neither good nor evil in ancient times, and humanity had never paid him much attention.
So, who was this person before them?
"I've seen you before, you were spying on my Yan State earlier! Who are you?" Tongtian Sword Master said to the silhouette.
"Amitabha, benefactor, why do you not show your true face?" Ananda clasped his hands together, his aura slowly rising.
At this moment, the nine great supreme experts simultaneously raised their auras, knowing that the newcomer was an enemy, not a friend.
They were well aware of everything concerning humanity, and the sudden appearance of a mysterious expert whose strength surpassed theirs made them all come to a realization.
Only an invincible expert could be someone whose strength they could not fathom.
But why would there be an invincible expert in this world?
The invincible experts had all gone to war; none had remained from ancient times.
Yet, one had appeared now.
Being invincible, yet not participating in the war and hiding in the rear, why?
Cowardice? No, the invincible would not have such a thought.
Therefore, there could only be one explanation: the opponent was an enemy, a nail driven into the Earth world by the enemy, much like the Sea of Blood.
"Hehehe, Qiong, you show yourself so brazenly, do you have confidence in destroying this world?" At this moment, the Sea of Blood churned, and an old man in red robes appeared before everyone; it was the Sea of Blood.
"Qiong!"
Hearing the Sea of Blood's words, Tongtian Sword Master and the others were shocked.
Qiong, the traitor of ancient humanity, the ancestor of the Tian family.
Hadn't he died? Why was he alive again?
And when the world had just recovered, the Tian family had summoned Qiong's soul back, and it was Tongtian Sword Master who had struck him down. Who was this person before them?
If this was Qiong, then who was the soul summoned by the Tian family?
"Qiong, is it really you? Answer me, is it you!" Tongtian Sword Master's face was filled with killing intent, his whole body radiating a chilling sword aura.
"Who are you? Are you truly Qiong?" a supreme expert asked, one from the Holy See.
"You didn't die in ancient times, did you? You faked your death and hid in this world. What was it all for?" the leader of the Seven Knights asked.
"Hehehe, for what?" The silhouette laughed and then revealed its true face, that of a benevolent old man.
"I have made great contributions to humanity, and I am one of humanity's ancestors. They all broke through to become invincible, but I did not. I only wanted them to help me break through, but what did they do?"
"Was it not just killing some ants that led to me being judged a traitor and forced to fight against the demons with my life!"
"Is this how humanity repays me?"
Qiong said with a ferocious expression, his eyes filled with resentment.
"Presumptuous! Although you have contributed to humanity, you have harmed the descendants of the invincible and caused heavy casualties among humanity. What else can this be if not treason? The invincible ones were trying to preserve your reputation, making you die in battle and treating your descendants well. What more are you not satisfied with? Why do you betray humanity?"
Tongtian Sword Master roared, his killing intent boiling.
He understood now; the Qiong of ancient times had not truly died but had colluded with enemies, faking his death to escape.
"Hehehe, utter nonsense. They are all selfish cowards. What do you mean by preserving my reputation? They simply didn't want me to break through to invincibility, not wanting me to be on equal footing with them!" Qiong sneered.
"Hahaha, Qiong, why bother getting angry? Since you have revealed yourself, let us join forces and destroy this world. I've had enough of this broken place, old ancestor!" Blood Ancestor roared with laughter, then continued speaking.
"Ancient ancestor, I saved you and changed your physique to that of a divine race, allowing you to break through to invincibility. Now, it is time to reap the rewards, to usher in our world, devour this world, and destroy humanity!"
