Chapter 1766 - 11: Luohu Becomes a Saint (Part 2)
......The divine might is like a prison.
When Luohu accomplished becoming a Demon Holy, those in the Human Realm with exceptional spiritual sense naturally also perceived it.
"Luohu...he has succeeded..."
In Heavenly River City, Qi Butian raised his head with a horrified expression.
Just moments ago, he sensed an aura that made his very soul tremble involuntarily.
That aura belongs exclusively to a Demon Holy.
Martial Emperor Juque and other cultivators of the Honorable Realm exchanged glances, and all saw the bitterness in each other's eyes.
The existence of a Demon Holy is enough to plunge one into utter despair.
Even if their cultivation ranking is already at the pinnacle of the Human Race, what difference is there between them and those of lower grade when facing a Demon Holy?
"The Demon Holy is about to descend." Qi Butian sighed.
Lu Qingshan, with the realm of the Ninth Tribulations Sword Immortal, could traverse from the Northern Sea to the Cangwu lands in a day. For a Demon Holy, it would be even easier, and the vastness of the Heavenly River Sea would take mere moments.
Now, it's only a question of when Luohu decides to descend.
Once he descends, what awaits Heavenly River City is only destruction.
Only the Ancestral Realm can halt a Demon Holy.
The Ancestral Formation is insignificant in the face of a Demon Holy.
Qi Butian turned his gaze toward the Human Realm.
There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
There, lies the last hope of the Human Race.
.......
Human Realm, Zhenjiang City, Mihe Peak.
The true birthplace of "Lu Qingshan."
Lu Qingshan ambled along the mountain path without anyone noticing his arrival.
Aimless.
A cool, crisp spring breeze stirred, wrinkling his brow.
Ultimately, all winds originate from the seas.
The winds over the seas, in turn, come from the Heavenly River Sea.
The breeze brushing his face now was precisely such.
Lu Qingshan's expression subtly changed, his pupils contracted, and he suddenly turned his head to look toward the direction of Heavenly River City.
"Young Master, what is it?" Qin Yitian was the first to notice the change in Lu Qingshan.
"Luohu has become a saint," Lu Qingshan's voice was very subdued, but his expression remained calm, "We should return."
"But, Young Master, you have not yet become an ancestor..." Qin Yitian's voice gradually trailed off.
Lu Qingshan had yet to reach the Ancestral Realm, but with Luohu having become a saint, Lu Qingshan had no choice but to confront him.
This was his responsibility.
The Young Master was never one to shirk responsibility.
"It's merely overturning the higher authority, something we've always been adept at, isn't it?" Lu Qingshan smiled.
A sword light soared skywards.
Just like back then.
Except back then, that sword light was directed at the South Sea, but now it's directed at the Heavenly River Sea.
The place for the decisive battle, the Heavenly River Sea.
It has to be the Heavenly River Sea.
Only there, does he have a faint glimmer of hope.
......
At dawn.
Yumen Pass.
Outside Yumen Pass, there were countless demonic cultivators, overwhelming in numbers, extending beyond the horizon. Even after a year of battle attrition, there was still no end in sight.
This war between the Taoist and the demonic, prepared for twenty thousand years, will inevitably last a long time, with decades of fierce fighting being only normal regardless of the final victory or defeat.
Chi Venerable's figure stood tall and unmoving like a mountain, yet his expression was exceptionally grim.
Because just four days ago, he learned the news of Luohu becoming a saint, and under Luohu's oppressive might, commanded his subordinate Demon Lords to return to the Abyss, conveying the War Demon Clan's submission to Luohu.
Although they submitted earnestly and sincerely, the irritation and depression in his heart only grew with each passing day.
His gaze fell on the Yumen Pass city wall, on the silhouette that had been standing there for a long time, like the Goddess of Luo River in the morning breeze.
Luo Shen Sword Immortal, Xia Daoyun.
He decided to unleash his pent-up anger on her.
During the next break in Yumen Pass's great formation.
He had to act swiftly.
Because once Luohu intervened, he could settle everything, leaving no opportunity for him to make a move.
Fortunately, Luohu's first target was not here.
....
Xia Daoyun slightly closed her eyes, resting her mind.
The morning breeze lightly stirred her garments.
Swish!
The next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, her stunning face turning just a shade paler.
"What's wrong?" Yu Canghai beside her noticed the intense fluctuation in her emotions and was a bit surprised.
Xia Daoyun's complexion quickly regained its composure. She turned around, her gaze landing on Chi Venerable who had been staring fixedly at her.
"After this, Yumen Pass will be in your hands."
Yu Canghai was taken aback.
The battle situation was becoming increasingly tense, yet Xia Daoyun, Yumen Pass's strongest combat force, uttered such words?
Was she planning to leave?
How could that be, what about the upcoming battle?
Could there really be something more important than the current war?
—Yu Canghai never considered Xia Daoyun to be someone who would seek advantage and avoid harm; that wasn't Xia Daoyun.
Despite the sudden upheaval in his heart, Yu Canghai did not voice any objection.
Since it's entrusted to me, then I will guard it well.
That was Yu Canghai's thought.
...
When she spoke those words, Xia Daoyun's expression was very calm.
Just for an instant.
A fierce determination flashed across the steadfast features of Xia Daoyun.
Then, she took a deep breath.
Her face suddenly turned as pale as a sheet, devoid of any color, as if she had sustained severe injuries in that moment.
Yet at the same time, her eyes suddenly became piercingly bright, even as blood began to trickle from the corners of her eyes.
Inside Yumen Pass, a great wind rose.
The wind carried innumerable auras.
All the auras were infused into Xia Daoyun's body.
There were abnormal phenomena between Heaven and Earth.
Outside Yumen Pass, Chi Venerable's expression changed, and he shouted angrily, "Xia Daoyun, where do you get such great fortune?"
"No... Xia Daoyun, you dare to steal the fortunes of Great Xia for your own use?"
"How is it theft, it was mine to begin with." On Yumen Pass, the breathtakingly beautiful female Sword Immortal's face was as white as snow and her tone serene.
