Chapter 266: Chapter 14 Grandpa, what do you want to cooperate with me on? (Please subscribe)
In the Nine Heavens above,
Mu Qingliu stood with his hands behind his back.
The Taihao Immortal Mirror hovered above his head.
A terrifying beam of light from the mirror was already blasting towards Baiyu Island below.
At this moment, Mu Qingliu himself had arrived, carrying the true body of the Taihao Immortal Mirror.
In this realm, he, Mu Qingliu, was invincible. Erasing Baiyu Island would only require one strike.
"Master Yuanyang..."
The light in Mu Qingliu's eyes was indifferent.
Master Yuanyang had been a half-step Ancient Saint over a hundred years ago.
By now, he must be very close to becoming an Ancient Saint, but what of it?
If not yet an Ancient Saint, under the beam of the Taihao Immortal Mirror, he would surely die.
Even if he were an Ancient Saint, unless he was one of those three veteran Ancient Saints from the Nether Palace, Demon Saint's Nest, or Blood Demon Sea, he too would be gravely injured or crushed to death.
This was Mu Qingliu's confidence.
This was the confidence of the Daode Immortal Sect Master, who had ruled over the Central Divine Continent for tens of thousands of years.
"Those three old fellows must be quite frightened now, mustn't they?"
Mu Qingliu glanced in the directions of the other three, planning to go and 'reminisce'.
In his eyes, the fate of Baiyu Island below him was already sealed—to disappear into smoke and clouds under the mirror light.
However,
the next moment,
Mu Qingliu's expression drastically changed.
He suddenly lowered his head to look.
A 'giant' of unknown size, towering from earth to sky,
raised his hand and shielded Baiyu Island, spanning over a million miles.
The shocking beam emitted by the Taihao Immortal Mirror, upon touching the back of that majestic figure's hand, quickly dissipated, vanishing completely within a few breaths.
"What is that?"
Mu Qingliu's expression turned grave.
"Master Yuanyang..."
Mu Qingliu watched as the figure that had stopped the blow from the Taihao Immortal Mirror quickly returned to normal size, with hands behind his back, his face looking extremely troubled.
"Ancient Saint of Refinement Void."
"An Ancient Saint at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm."
"Even surpassing the limits of the Void Refinement, beginning to explore the Dao Integration Stage."
Mu Qingliu judged in his mind.
The ability to manifest such a massive form surely belonged to a great divine skill.
And to block a strike from the Taihao Immortal Mirror so effortlessly, his strength was unfathomably deep.
Mu Qingliu had never anticipated that Master Yuanyang, whom he had considered easy prey, would possess such formidable strength.
...
In the north of Divine Continent,
On a small island deep within the Blood Demon Sea,
Just as Mu Qingliu was utilizing the Taihao Immortal Mirror to release that terrifying beam of light,
The Blood Demon Master suddenly opened his eyes, his expression solemn.
"Has Mu Qingliu left Mount Morality Immortal? Has the Daode Immortal Sect birthed a second Ancient Saint?"
The Blood Demon Master quickly surmised numerous things.
"Master Yuanyang is finished."
The Blood Demon Master shook his head slightly.
By stepping out from Mount Morality Immortal, Mu Qingliu was making his first move against Baiyu Island, solely to utterly annihilate Master Yuanyang.
"I told you to join me, but you refused—now, are you dead?"
The Blood Demon Master shook his head slightly.
A hundred years ago, when Master Yuanyang occupied Baiyu Island,
the Lord of Blood Demon had sent his subordinates to persuade Master Yuanyang to join him.
After all, there weren't many in the Blood Demon Sea with combat power close to that of an Ancient Saint.
However, back then, Master Yuanyang had directly refused.
And now, in the eyes of the current Lord of Blood Demon, Master Yuanyang's decision was a mistake.
"What a pity..."
The Lord of Blood Demon shook his head.
Master Yuanyang did not come from the Daode Immortal Sect and had no ties with the Blood Demon Sea, Nether Palace, or Demon Saint's Nest.
Relying solely on himself, he had cultivated to the brink of the Ancient Saint realm. If he had been willing to accept the gift from the Lord of Blood Demon and transform into a 'Blood God Child,' he might have had a chance to reach the true level of an Ancient Saint.
"Hm?"
"Something's not right?"
Just as the Lord of Blood Demon was planning to contact the other three Ancient Saints to discuss how to deal with Mu Qingliu, he suddenly sensed something and abruptly widened his eyes.
"A strike from Mu Qingliu was blocked?"
The Lord of Blood Demon's mouth fell open. Although he had not witnessed it in person, through the aura sensing, the earth-shattering mirror light unleashed by Mu Qingliu had not exploded forth but had dissipated into nothingness.
At the same time,
A terrifying force rivaling the sun, the Power of Taiyang, converged.
"The Taiyang Ancient Saint."
"An Ancient Saint nearly surpassing the limit of Void Refinement?"
"How could Master Yuanyang possibly possess such strength?"
The Lord of Blood Demon could hardly believe it.
Even if Master Yuanyang had broken through to the Void Refinement Realm,
The Lord of Blood Demon would be at most shocked, not utterly dumbfounded as he was now.
It was not impossible for Master Yuanyang to have broken his shackles and stepped into Void Refinement a hundred years after being on the brink of Ancient Saint.
But now?
Surpassing the limit of the Void Refinement Period?
That was a level touched only by the Sect Master, who held the Taihao Immortal Mirror.
And Master Yuanyang reached it on his own?
How could this be possible?
"We were wrong."
"We were all wrong."
"A hundred years ago, Master Yuanyang wasn't just nearly an Ancient Saint."
The thoughts of the Lord of Blood Demon surged fiercely.
He suddenly realized that a hundred years ago, Master Yuanyang had never claimed to be at the brink of the Ancient Saint realm.
The label of being nearly an Ancient Saint had always been speculation from the outside world.
"Surpassing the limit of the Void Refinement Period, could he be a great power from hundreds of thousands of years ago?"
The Lord of Blood Demon pondered rapidly.
Initially, he thought Master Yuanyang was a strong figure born within the last few millennia.
Yet, with the combat power and strength demonstrated, how could he have cultivated to this point in just a few thousand years?
The Lord of Blood Demon conjectured that Master Yuanyang might hail from a hundred thousand years ago,
Back then, the Daode Immortal Sect was not the undisputed master of the Central Divine Continent.
A hundred thousand years ago, the 'Ascension Platform' had not yet emerged.
There were many unfathomable strong figures in the world, some surpassing the limit of Void Refinement as well.
...
It was not only the Lord of Blood Demon who was shocked.
Almost at the same time,
The Ancient Saints from the Demon Saint's Nest and the Nether Palace sensed that Mu Qingliu's original self had taken action with the Taihao Immortal Mirror in hand.
