“Hello, old friends. How have you been?”
Following this voice, Gu Caiwei, Li Yu, Li Qingyun, Murong Xingqiao, and Guo Qilin, who had long transformed into a human, flew over from afar.
Gu Caiwei’s arrival interrupted the attacks of the Heavenly Venerables present.
The experts from the various worlds stopped their attacks and looked at Heavenly Venerable Caiwei curiously.
Although there were many opinions regarding Heavenly Venerable Li Huo’s death, the person everyone acknowledged the most was Heavenly Venerable Caiwei.
After all, everyone had heard about the Heavenly Venerable Li Huo bringing the Li Fire Army to the lower realm to search for the remnant Flower Realm.
Seeing the arrival of Heavenly Venerable Caiwei, they could not help but confirm this guess.
However, they were surprised when they sized up Heavenly Venerable Caiwei.
From the aura of Heavenly Venerable Caiwei, her current cultivation was only at the Great Saint Realm. She had not even reached the Sovereign Realm.
Such a cultivation and strength might not even be comparable to a Grand Commander of the Li Fire Army. How could he kill Heavenly Venerable Li Huo?
However, they soon had a guess, and everyone’s gazes subconsciously gathered on Li Yu, who was beside Gu Caiwei.
Li Yu’s extraordinariness could never be ignored, especially after he obtained the Great Dao Golden Body.
Even in this endless dark space, he was definitely the sun that emitted a dazzling light.
Dao energy gathered around him, and Dao runes circulated. All kinds of Great Dao resonances surrounded him, making him seem like the incarnation of the Great Dao, the master of heaven and earth.
Looking at him was like being in the Great Dao, giving everyone a feeling of enlightenment.
In an instant, Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming, Heavenly Venerable Xuan He, Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue, Heavenly Venerable Emptiness, and all the other Heavenly Venerables present were shocked.
Even they, who had lived for billions of years, had never seen such an extraordinary person.
No, someone had seen it before.
‘This person is extremely similar to the god’s shadow that once appeared on the Ancient Road to Heaven. Is this person also an ancient god?’ Heavenly Venerable Xuan He exclaimed in his heart. His eyes burned, and he could not help but want to worship.
“Looks like he was the one who killed Heavenly Venerable Li Huo. It’s unbelievable that there’s such an extraordinary person in the world!”
“Tsk tsk, so Heavenly Venerable Caiwei found such an extraordinary backer. No wonder that old fellow, Heavenly Venerable Li Huo, fell for it too!”
‘There’s going to be a good show. The Dark Prison Demon Venerable will probably follow in Li Huo’s footsteps! But it seems like there’s no hope of taking the Fire World!’
They had lived for countless years and naturally knew that Li Yu was someone they could not afford to offend.
As for Heavenly Venerable Caiwei, she had probably brought this person here to collect interest.
Therefore, Heavenly Venerable Xuan He, Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming, and the others immediately gave up on the idea of separating the Fire World.
They did not want to die, not to mention that they had no time to befriend such an extraordinary god-like expert. How could they be tactless enough to provoke him?
“Heavenly Venerable Caiwei, I trust you’ve been well since we last met. I knew that heaven would bless you!”
“That’s right. This is a test and tempering from the Heavenly Dao. The day you return will be the day the flowers bloom in the nine heavens!”
“That’s right. The Flower Realm can return to the nine heavens and the peak again!” The Heavenly Venerables laughed.
“Haha, thank you, old friends. Oh yes, what are you doing?” Gu Caiwei asked despite knowing the answer.
“Oh, we’re here to take revenge for Heavenly Venerable Caiwei!” Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue smiled.
“That’s right. When the Flower Realm requested help from the Heavy Mountain Realm back then, Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue seemed to have said that he would avenge us when our Flower Realm was destroyed. You really kept your promise!” Gu Caiwei said with a fake smile.
When the Li Fire Realm colluded with the Dark Prison Demon Lord to destroy the Flower Realm, Gu Caiwei had once asked for help from Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue, Heavenly Venerable Yin Ming, Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming, and Heavenly Venerable Xuan He.
However, they still chose to watch from the sidelines or feign civility.
In the end, no one really helped the Flower Realm.
If only someone was willing to help the Flower Realm, it might not have fallen to such a state.
Of course, Gu Caiwei could understand that they were more willing to befriend Heavenly Venerable Li Huo than the weak Flower Realm at that time.
Even if they were unwilling to become friends, they were at least unwilling to offend the Li Fire Realm for the Flower Realm.
The strong preyed on the weak. Those who fell behind would be beaten. This had never changed since ancient times.
She did not want to resent anyone. It was their freedom to help.
It was just that she really did not like to put on an act. They might as well say that they were here to separate the Fire World.
Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue and the others smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Gu Caiwei smiled and said, “Thank you for your hard work, everyone! The grudge between our Flower Realm and the Li Fire Realm should come to an end today!”
After saying that, she glanced at Li Yu. He did not say anything else. He drew his sword, swung it, and sheathed it in one go. He did it smoothly, unadorned, and as fast as lightning.
At the same time, the boundary barrier that the few Heavenly Venerables and countless experts of the various worlds had failed to break through earlier cracked open like a bubble.
Gu Caiwei, Li Yu, and the others flashed and quickly flew into the Li Fire Realm.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this. They knew that Li Yu was extraordinary and should be powerful.
However, they were still deeply shocked to see him destroy the boundary barrier with a simple strike.
That was the boundary barrier. Even if they worked together, it would take a lot of effort to break through it.
In the end, it was broken apart with a casual strike. It was clear how terrifying that strike was.
If that sword slashed any of them, it would probably kill them instantly.
It was clear that Heavenly Venerable Li Huo did not die in vain!
“This person is too terrifying. His power is beyond imagination!” Heavenly Venerable Xuan He sighed in his heart.
They thought that they were already at the top of this world, but they did not know that they were still frogs in a well.
“Could he really be an ancient god?!” Heavenly Venerable Xuan He could not calm down either. They had always been painstakingly pursuing the path of godhood and the peak of strength.
Today, they finally witnessed it.
“Let’s go and take a look!”
“I’m afraid the Dark Prison Demon Lord won’t be able to bear the consequences this time!” The few Heavenly Venerables said as they used their magic power to stop the boundary barrier from healing.
He quickly followed Heavenly Venerable Caiwei and the others into the Li Fire Realm.
It was rare to see such an extraordinary person, so they were naturally unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity.
As the few Heavenly Venerables entered the Li Fire Realm, the boundary barrier automatically healed and returned to normal. In the end, it turned invisible and hid in the endless deep space.
In the Li Fire Realm, when he sensed that the spatial barrier had been broken by a single sword strike, the Dark Prison Demon Lord was so frightened that his face turned ashen.
The Dark Prison Demon Lord, who had obtained the guardian’s power and was refining and absorbing the essence of the Li Fire Realm, could clearly sense what was happening outside the spatial barrier.
At this moment, he knew that Heavenly Venerable Caiwei and the others had already entered the Li Fire Realm and were heading for it. Their divine senses had already locked onto him, and he would probably have nowhere to hide.
However, he was not afraid of the Heavenly Venerables, but the fellow who had broken through the boundary barrier with a single strike.
“It’s over, it’s over. It’s really over now!” The Dark Prison Demon Lord really wanted to find a spatial rift to crawl into.
He was well aware that if Heavenly Venerable Caiwei’s strength increased significantly and came to settle the score with him, he would still have some strength to struggle. At the very least, escaping back to the Dark Prison Realm would not be a problem.
However, from the looks of it, the person who killed Heavenly Venerable Li Huo was a god-like peerless expert.
In front of him, he probably could not withstand the power of a single strike.
The Dark Prison Demon Lord was at a loss for what to do for a moment. He was like a prey captured by an eagle, terrified to the point his entire body turned cold.
His mind raced as he thought of countermeasures and searched for a chance of survival.
However, no matter how he struggled, he could only face despair.
