The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage had never personally encountered this frightening sword mind that used the Savage Energy of heaven and earth and destroyed the Dao of the world, but they could feel that that power came from Lin Feng’s Heaven-Destroying Sword.
However, from their previous knowledge, the Heaven-Destroying Sword was terrifying but not to the point where it was unimaginable and indescribable.
Definitely not to the point where it surpassed the Emperor of Extremity, Shen Yuan.
However, that sword that exceeded everyone’s knowledge and expectations had proved this point.
They thought back to the time when Lin Feng descended upon Mount Shu and the Heaven-Destroying Sword went through its second Enhanced Cultivation. They could feel a bitterness rising from the bottom of their hearts, but there was nothing they could do.
Where the Ancient Ape Demons of the Lingyuan Mountains would go in the days to come became an urgent question that they had to consider and contemplate over.
Shen Yuan was back in the darkness, and the Celestial Sect of Wonders was the ultimate victor in the contest for the Spirit Sea. The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage were wounded by Shi Tianhao and the others when they invaded the Divine Lands before this, and the Ancient Ape Demons were starting to diminish and weaken.
Relative to the Ancient Ape Demons, the powerful individuals of the Hades Tribe who had returned to the Obsidian Realm were also solemn and heavy-hearted.
They were forced out of the Spirit Sea, but the Hades Tribe had been monitoring the changes inside the Spirit Sea, and the changes that were occurring to the Greater World.
Xuan Shang and Shen Yuan returned to the Greater World, but Hades Emperor was nowhere to be seen, and this was the first thing that lowered the Hades Tribe’s spirits.
Strictly speaking, the Hades Tribe wasn’t on good terms with the Dragons or the Ancient Ape Demons.
Their relationship with the Ancient Ape Demons were especially bad, as the ascension of a new emperor would undoubtedly be accomplished over the old emperor’s dead body.
Ever since Shen Yuan met his end in the Middle Age, the Hades Emperor and the Hades Tribe took over and reached the pinnacle of the Barren Expanses. In their journey to the top, they had fought and slain many powerful demons, and many of them were Ancient Ape Demons.
Before the conflict within the Spirit Sea, even though the Dragons dominated the Black Sea, the Hades Tribe were still the strongest race inside the Barren Expanses.
However, the situation was very different now when Xuan Shang and Shen Yuan returned.
Lin Feng and the other human cultivators heaped pressure upon then, and the Hades Tribe’s circumstance would become a lot direr than before. They would undoubtedly face conflict and invasion from the Dragons and the Ape Demons along with their two demon emperors, so they were bound to submit or to die in the process of resistance, probably to the point of extinction.
If the Spirit Sea fell into the hands of Emperor Jue of the Emperor of Extremity, then their situation would become unimaginably bad.
However, just when they were contemplating these things, the drastic change of events stunned the Illustory Sun Hades and the Hades Tribe.
The Emperor of Extremity was ranked with the most powerful being of their tribe, the Hades Emperor – but he was dead once more!
Shen Yuan had just returned to the Greater World, and he put into the ground once again by humans. This sudden turn of events made the Illusory Sun Hades and the others as astounded as ever.
The chance was small, but if Shen Yuan perished because he was besieged by a group of powerful individuals that included Xuan Shang, that was still an acceptable outcome.
However, that petrifying sword mind had announced to the world the person that slayed Shen Yuan.
The Illusory Sun Hades and the other powerful Hades Tribe demons were extremely familiar with that fearsome sword mind.
During the last War of the Two Worlds, they descended upon the greater world and they were well on their way to take over the world once more, but they were jammed by that person and his sword.
Kong Yuan was a Vipralopa Stage demon, and he was slain on the spot. If not for the piece left behind by the Hades Emperor and the Hades City’s aid inside the Obsidian Realm, it was uncertain whether the Illusory Sun Hades himself could have escaped with his life.
Lin Feng and the Heaven-Destroying Sword left a deep and lasting impression in the minds of the Hades demons, and this impression was comparable to the Great Void Sect and the Supreme Heavenly Mirror back then.
But now, the Illusory Sun Hades and the others could clearly feel that this frightening sword was more powerful than it had ever been, and its ferocity seemed to represent the actual ending of the entire world.
One really couldn’t blame Shen Yuan for his defeat at the hands of such a formidable force.
However, this force came from Lin Feng’s Heaven-Destroying Sword, and this gave the Hades Tribe demons a bitter feeling in their hearts.
This was an agonizing bitterness, to the point where it was almost like hopelessness.
Even if the Hades Emperor returned with Xuan Shang and Shen Yuan to the Greater World, or if the Illusory Sun Hades could finally reach the power of his elder brother of late, they would still be faced with destruction before Lin Feng and his Heaven-Destroying Sword.
The Illusory Sun Hade had a strong will and he was determined, and he was ambitious as he planned for his glory in the future. However, no matter how self-confident he was, he felt a tremor in his mind and he felt his determination waver in that moment.
The Illusory Sun Hades was already going through the Second Tribulation of Destiny, and even he was so greatly shaken. There was nothing more to be said about the demons that were lower than he was in mastery.
A grey veil seemed to cast over the other powerful demons in the world, and they couldn’t tear themselves away from it.
The Barren Expanses were mired in despondence and bitterness, while the atmosphere within the Divine Lands was a little more peculiar and complicated.
Xuan Shang and Shen Yuan returned to the Greater World together, and the Divine Lands’ first reaction was intense fear. Their combined reputations were enough to render many people hopeless.
However, nobody expected the subsequent changes in circumstance.
The humans hoped for Lin Feng and the other powerful cultivators to defeat the two demon emperors, but everybody was rooted to the spot in shock when Lin Feng chopped Shen Yuan in half with a clean swipe of his sword.
When they reoriented themselves and they watched the blue-eyed white ape’s figure that seemed to tower over the entire world disappear into nothingness, everyone was elated and everybody rejoiced.
The leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders had such a reputation at this moment that surpassed anybody that came before him.
However, the various powerful cultivators began to feel other emotions once they calmed down from their initial excitement and hysterical happiness. They grew silent as they pondered in their minds, and inscrutable emotions ran wild.
Lin Feng’s sword that seemed like it was going to destroy the entire Greater World was simply too formidable and too intimidating, and it instilled a feeling of resistance in everyone’s hearts.
Lin Feng had energy left to repair the heavens after he took down the Emperor of Extremity. He did everything with confidence and with ease, and this wasn’t a power that could only be used once, and this was what erased this sense of rejection and resistance in everyone’s hearts.
There had always been a human emperor in the Primordial Age and the Antiquity Age who ruled over the humans and united everyone, but there had never been anyone like Lin Feng of today, who could truly dominate the entire world.
At this moment, no matter what they felt about Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders, everyone had to admit that Lin Feng was now the greatest across the heavens.
Perhaps some people would be courageous enough to resist him, but these people wouldn’t even have the confidence of succeeding.
Xin Longsheng and the Tiangang Swordmaster stared at each other in silence. After a long while, Xin Longhseng said slowly, “I will make a trip to the Kunlun Mountains to fulfill the Dao in my heart.”
The Tiangang Swordmaster nodded his head quietly and he said nothing, but his consciousness calmly passed a message through the void, “I’ll follow you.”
Gu Jun was standing not far from them, and his expression was calm with no traces of happiness or sadness. He was just staring silently at the streaks of light surging across the turbulent void space.
In the Great Qin Empire’s capital, Xiling City, and inside the royal palace, the current Qin emperor Shi Zongtang was sitting on his dragon throne. Shi Zongmao and the others were sitting next to him.
The group of cultivators from the Great Qin Empire were all silent.
After a long while, Shi Zongmao heaved a faint sigh and said, “Will the Celestial Sect of Wonders truly transcend the traditional world after this, or will they go on a path to assume control over the Greater World?”
At this point, unless something drastic happened unexpectedly, there was truly nothing left that could stop what Lin Feng wanted to do.
Shi Zongtang said slowly, “No matter what, it shouldn’t affect our general direction and what we are going to do.”
Once this was said, the Great Qin cultivators nodded as they sighed, and their expressions became a little more relaxed.
Shi Zongtang said, “After the contest of the Spirit Sea ends, we should ask the Huangtian Emperor for his opinion. We will give him our attitude and position whether or not he is willing.”
Shi Zongmao glanced at Shi Zongtang. Shi Zongtang could make this decision so calmly, and this meant that Shi Zongtang’s mind was decided, and that he would place the Great Qin’s national interest before his own.
Shi Zongtang’s emotions were not as composed as he seemed to be, and they were extremely complicated at this moment.
After incessant inner conflict, he finally made this decision and chose to face it honestly.
Shi Zongmao and the other cultivators sighed in unison. Everybody looked towards the ceiling of the great hall, and their gazes pierced through the roof and into the vast heavens.
Inside the Great Zhou Empire’s capital, Tianjing City, Liang Gan, Liang Fu and Liang Jinglie and the others sat inside the royal palace facing each other.
The Great Zhou Empire’s subjects were all there facing each other in silence.
Liang Fu, Liang Jinglie, Liang Jingcheng and the others all looked up at Liang Gan.
Liang Gan’s eyes were calm. He spoke after a while, “I will visit the Kunlun Mountains after the conclusion of the events within the Spirit Sea. Prince Yanliang, you will stay at Tianjing City. Prince of the East Sea and Prince Youyun, you two will follow me.”
Liang Fu and the others said no more, and everyone stood up at the same time and bowed respectfully at Liang Gan. “Yes, your majesty.”
The Gu Dynasty, the Mount Shu Sword Sect, the Great Qin and the Great Zhou Empire, and the other powers of the Divine Lands were in a state of disturbance. Everyone had their own opinions, and their thoughts differed from one another.
The entity with the most complicated emotions would probably be the Great Void Sect and everyone in Mount Baiyun.
Kuang Heng and the others sat together on Mount Baiyun’s summit, and everyone was silent.
Everyone had grown quiet ever since Lin Feng slashed down with that terrifying and all-destroying sword and sent Shen Yuan back into the void.
The Supreme Heavenly Mirror appeared pale in comparison to that sword, even if it was in its peak condition.
They followed their original plan to open the path to the Death Sea to welcome their ancestor, the Great Void Holy Man, back into the Greater World was futile.
The Yu Yuan Holy Woman was sullen as she whispered, “That fearsome sword has finally reached that level…”
Kuang Heng, the Qing Ning Holy Man and the others remained silent.
The colossal Mount Baiyun was gradually covered by the clouds once more and grew obscure – all that was left were faint sighs that echoed through the mountains.
