Chapter 244: Tenth Level!!
“Bang!”
“What exactly is happening?! Wasn’t Qingnan Shengzhou already occupied by my race long ago?”
“How is there Human Race cultivators causing trouble again!”
The Central Region, the Northern Region Great Wall.
Ao Ye listened to the news relayed by his subordinates, and his expression immediately changed.
He had already lost a great deal of merit by requesting someone to descend to the lower realm.
If another mishap occurred now, even if he could suppress the matter, his merit would still suffer a devastating loss.
“No. Dispatch a Supreme immediately to quell the unrest!”
“Crush these Human Race cultivators in Qingnan Shengzhou!”
Ao Ye spoke coldly.
He did not want to lose the greater for the smaller.
“Yes!”
Hearing Ao Ye’s words, the subordinate quickly acknowledged and left.
However, an instant later, something suddenly occurred to him.
“Wait… the appearance of these Human Race cultivators is somewhat strange.”
“Qingnan Shengzhou has been occupied for so long, yet there has never been a Human Race cultivator rebellion.”
“So why now, all of a sudden…”
With that thought, his brow furrowed slightly, and he felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly, a certain possibility appeared in his mind.
Ao Ye’s brow tightened at once!
“No!”
“Could these Human Race cultivators be… that group from the Demon Domain!”
“They’ve come out?!”
Ao Ye’s expression shifted slightly.
With that thought, he did not dare delay.
Even if it was only a possibility, he did not dare gamble on it.
Moreover, he had sacrificed the majority of his merit to request Ao Yi’s descent to the lower realm precisely to eliminate any and all accidents!
So, after pondering for a moment, Ao Ye decisively went to meet Ao Yi…
Within Ao Yi’s palace.
Having taken human form, he boredly tossed out a piece of bone from his hand.
Toying with the dozens of Human Race Great Vehicle cultivators below, collars around their necks.
These Great Vehicle cultivators had once been the pinnacle Supremes and Venerables of the Human Race.
Even after the war with the Demon Race began, each one of them had been awe-inspiring.
When had they ever suffered such humiliation?
So after seeing Ao Yi’s actions, every one of them glared at him with fury.
Seeing this, Ao Yi let out a cold laugh of disdain.
He waved his hand.
A vast pressure immediately descended upon the several people.
“Hmph! A dog must know its place as a dog!”
“Now you all dare to bare your teeth at me one by one. Once you ascend, wouldn’t you even kill your master!”
Ao Yi’s words sent the Great Vehicle cultivators into a rage.
But not a single one could speak a word of rebuttal under that powerful pressure.
Only Li Tianxuan, whose cultivation was somewhat stronger, could barely squeeze out a single word.
“Beast…”
“Hm? Insolence!”
But before Li Tianxuan could finish speaking.
Ao Yi flew into a rage!
A majestic blow of Immortal Might instantly sent him staggering back several steps.
He landed on his backside on the ground.
His pale face was filled with shock and unwillingness.
And just as Ao Yi was about to teach these ignorant Human Race ants another lesson.
A rush of hurried footsteps came.
Soon, a figure rushed in.
The newcomer wore a black robe — it was Ao Ye!
“Clan-Uncle!”
“Hm? Why have you come?”
“Did I not send you to investigate the whereabouts of that Human Race force?”
“Well? Any clues?”
Ao Yi withdrew his pressure and spoke indifferently.
He turned to sit back on the great seat.
But before he could turn back, Ao Ye spoke urgently.
“Clan-Uncle, there are clues! That Human Race group is suspected to have returned to the Central Region!”
“And currently they seem to be in Qingnan Shengzhou!”
“Oh?”
Hearing this, Ao Yi’s brow arched, and then he let out a cold laugh. “Good!”
“I was just worrying about not finding an opportunity!”
“Now this is perfect. How could I not cherish an opportunity delivered right to my door?”
“Let’s go! To Qingnan Shengzhou at once!”
Ao Yi stood up, and with a flicker of his form, vanished from where he stood.
Seeing this, Ao Ye did not dare delay and quickly followed.
But an instant later, Ao Yi suddenly turned back.
With a twist of his wrist, he actually brought those dozens of Human Race Great Vehicle cultivators along as well.
Before the Instant Cauldron.
Ao Ye watched Ao Yi leading a group of Human Race Great Vehicle cultivators, somewhat puzzled.
“Clan-Uncle, why bring these Human Race cultivators as well?”
“Wouldn’t bringing them be somewhat inconvenient?”
Ao Yi sneered at his words.
“Inconvenient?”
“Do you know why I am bringing all these Human Race cultivators?”
“Because they are useful.”
Ao Ye was confused. “What use are these Human Race cultivators?”
“Heh heh, this group of Human Race Great Vehicle cultivators is proud and arrogant, unwilling to honestly serve as slaves.”
“This time, when I go to quell the unrest, I will also let these dogs know my power.”
“Let them understand who the true master is!”
Hearing this, Ao Ye’s brow furrowed slightly.
But he did not try to dissuade him further.
“Then… Clan-Uncle, should we also bring some troops? To bolster our display of force.”
“No need. Just have those Demon Race Great Vehicle cultivators come. I will also use this opportunity to raise the army’s morale.”
Ao Yi instructed indifferently.
In truth, he had his own little calculations.
After he quelled this matter and returned to the Upper Realm.
Among these Demon Race Great Vehicle cultivators, there would surely be quite a few who would ascend.
Let them see just how mighty he was.
In the future, when these Demon Venerables ascended, surely some among them would pledge allegiance to him.
At that time, he would have his own faction within the race.
With that thought, the smile on Ao Yi’s face grew ever more浓郁.
He raised his head and glanced at Ao Ye.
“Let’s go. Do not delay!”
“I want to see what ability these Human Race cultivators have to dare be so brazen!”
“Yes…”
Seeing this, Ao Ye nodded.
Immediately, he summoned a host of Demon Venerables.
Then the Instant Cauldron began to exert its power.
Three days later, with the infusion of spiritual power complete.
Under Ao Yi’s leadership, the horde of demons vanished in an instant.
Qingnan Shengzhou.
Atop the Chaotian Palace, Lu Qingyang sat alone in the cold, quiet hall.
The aura around his body flowed slowly.
Ever since he stepped into the Great Vehicle realm.
His cultivation had risen somewhat slowly.
But fortunately, thanks to the Shaman Cultivation Method, his physical body’s cultivation grew ceaselessly without pause.
Now he was only one step away from proving his Venerable status through the body.
And that blade horn, no bigger than a thumb, which he called Heaven Shard, was often taken out by him to observe.
Each time he observed it, he could always sense a trace of strange fluctuation.
He did not know if it was an illusion.
Lu Qingyang always felt that this blade horn seemed especially eager to devour the Heavenly Dao Essence he had once fed to Jiangxin.
As if that Heavenly Dao Essence was an incomparably delicious meal to it.
He had indeed tried feeding a strand of Heavenly Dao Essence to Heaven Shard.
But after Heaven Shard absorbed the Heavenly Dao Essence in an instant, there was no further movement.
Its color only grew darker and darker.
“Could it be that this Heavenly Dao Essence can repair the Heaven-Opening Axe?”
“But judging by the looks of it, the amount of Heavenly Dao Essence required must be an enormous quantity…”
Lu Qingyang rubbed his nose, somewhat helpless.
However, just as he was pondering how to obtain more Heavenly Dao Essence.
Suddenly, Jiangxin’s voice rang out urgently throughout the hall.
“Beep beep! Detection: a large horde of demon beasts approaching!”
“Beep beep! Danger! Danger!”
“Danger level… Level Ten!”
