Chapter 60: Sacred Realm (1)

  The most chaotic era in the vast universe has arrived, an era filled with endless slaughter. This is also an era where the strong rise to prominence, countless heavenly prodigies emerge during this time. It's an era that belongs to the demonic gods, a resplendently brilliant era. Countless extraordinary abilities and techniques are created, yet it's also an era of carnage, where the strong reign supreme, with every moment showcasing the brutal display of magic gods dying in droves.

  Time flies, years pass quickly. Since the Luo Yu's sudden attack on the ancient Gula dynasty, nearly a billion years have passed in the vast universe of Honghuang. In this billion-year killing spree, countless powerful demon gods fell, and countless proud sons rose to power. This is an era where strong people emerge one after another. In these billion years, countless quasi-saints and sub-saint level strongmen appeared, and the Honghuang Strongman List was revised numerous times. However, the top six rankings remained unchanged, with no one able to shake their positions. After this billion-year killing spree, the Honghuang universe is filled with endless evil energy and killing intent.

  For billions of years, the four major legions of the Demon Cult have been constantly attacking and occupying cities, with the four major legions fighting on all sides, destroying countless large and small forces, and making great military achievements for the Demon Cult. The leader of the four major legions has resonated throughout the entire Hongyuan in this billion-year war.

  Every time the Demon Sect conquers a force, Luo You collects and absorbs countless souls and boundless evil energy on the battlefield. The body of the Primordial Demon God is only one step away from successful condensation, and the Unextinguished Magic is also nearing completion. In billions of years, Luo You's strength has made great progress, and he is only one step away from entering the realm of immortality.

  In this billion years, only one major event occurred on the Taiyin Star, which was that the Ancestral Dragon led 500 million quasi-saint level strongmen to besiege the Taiyin Star, attempting to kill the Knife Emperor. In the end, the Knife Emperor Ye Qing emerged from his seclusion and with a single knife, exterminated the 500 million quasi-saint level strongmen who were besieging the Taiyin Star. Except for the Ancestral Dragon who escaped with severe injuries, all of the other 500 million quasi-saint strongmen fell. This great war made all the strongmen in the Hongyuan universe realize the terror of the Knife Emperor, one of the six major strongmen of the Hongyuan universe.

  In this billion years, the original twenty-odd major forces slowly dwindled to seven forces. Among these seven forces, the first-ranked is the Demon Sect led by Luo Yu. The Demon Sect has rapidly developed in wars over the years, annihilating countless forces. Now it has 700 Saint-level experts, 12 billion Quasi-Saint-level experts, and 15 trillion Da Luo Golden Immortal warriors.

  Ranked second is the Chaotic Skyscraper Dynasty, which has 600 strongmen of the Sub-Saint level, 900 million strongmen of the Quasi-Saint level, and 12 billion strongmen of the Mahayana Golden Immortal level.

  Ranked third is the Tianyu Dynasty of Qingtian, the Tianyu Dynasty has 535 strong men of the Ya Sheng stage, 850 million strong men of the Zhun Sheng stage, and 70 billion warriors of the Daluo Jinxian stage.

  Ranked fourth is the Dragon Clan led by Zu Long, with 324 Saint-level powerhouses, 300 million Quasi-Saint level powerhouses, and 50 trillion Daluo Golden Immortal warriors.

  Fifth is the Feng tribe led by Tianfeng, with 263 strongmen of the quasi-saint level, 250 million strongmen of the quasi-sage level, and 40 billion warriors of the Daluo Jinxian level.

  Ranked sixth is the Qilin clan led by Mo Yun, with 250 quasi-saint level powerhouses, 230 million saint-level powerhouses, and 40 trillion Da Luo Golden Immortal warriors.

  Seventh is the Heaven led by the founder, Heaven has 200 angels of the quasi-saint level, 200 million angels of the quasi-saint level, and 300 billion angels of the Da Luo Golden Immortal level.

  In this billion years, the seven major forces have been fighting for territory on their respective borders, with countless battles taking place, resulting in the deaths of numerous powerful warriors. The skulls of these fallen strongmen are scattered throughout the intersection of the seven major forces, covering almost half of the vast expanse of the Honghuang universe. The Honghuang universe is boundless and endless, yet the skulls of the billion years' worth of fallen gods and devils can cover nearly half of it, a testament to the sheer number of warriors who have perished. These seven major leaders are also aware that now is not the time for a decisive battle, so over the years, the seven major forces have been using this opportunity to train their troops, without engaging in any life-or-death struggles, and have remained in a stalemate.

  Taiyin Star

  Ye Qing had been in seclusion for a billion years, except when he went out once to lead the great army of Zu Long to besiege the Taiyin Star, and spent the rest of his time in meditation.

  At this moment, Ye Qing sat in the secret room like a statue, as if he had been there since ancient times, giving people a sense of existence. Suddenly, Ye Qing opened his eyes that had been closed for millions of years, and at the moment his eyes opened, a sharp blade shot out from his eyes, instantly shattering the void in front of him. If other great gods in the vast wilderness saw this, they would definitely be shocked beyond measure. The gaze that kills is an unimaginable divine ability for ordinary people, but for great gods, it's not something impressive, and as long as one enters the realm of immortals, even a strong person can easily achieve this.

  But if the gaze shatters the void, it's extremely terrifying, almost a divine ability of a Sacred Realm expert.

  At this moment, Ye Qing only felt that his eyes were extremely sharp, like a sharp knife, cutting through the void and annihilating countless lives.

  In an instant, it can cut through the void and destroy living beings billions of miles away. What kind of divine power is this?

  What kind of realm is the ninth layer of the Demon Dao? Ye Qing had not yet seen the end of this road, but he already felt this terrible power.

  After Ye Qing reached the initial stage of the ninth layer of the Devil Dao, the powerful and stable divine consciousness condensed into a transparent knife-shaped imprint in his heart. Ye Qing only felt that his divine thoughts were like knives, no longer bound by form, and with just one thought in his heart, he could exert enormous power.

  Up to this point, Ye Qing no longer worried about his own life and death. Having reached the ninth level of the Jie Mo Dao, Ye Qing knew that he had already stepped into the threshold of the Holy Realm. As long as he cultivated quietly for a thousand years and absorbed enough energy, he could truly enter the Holy Realm.

  Boom

  Ye Qing directly tore open the void with his divine consciousness, breaking through the spatial barrier, finding the dark void space, and directly absorbing the infinite energy within the dark void.

  "Boom! Boom!"

  The infinite energy in the dark void thoroughly boiled, and the endless energy roared, crazily surging towards Ye Qing's body.

  Under the endless energy, Ye Qing only felt that the knife yuan in his body was rapidly condensing and increasing, but a large part of the energy was still being absorbed by his body.

  Ye Qing's mind and spirit slowly became intoxicated, immersing herself in a wonderful state.

  The ninth layer of the Tribulation Demon Path was an extremely profound realm, and upon reaching the ninth layer, Ye Qing felt that his body was undergoing some sort of transformation.

  At this moment, he finally understood the mystery of the ninth layer of the Demon Dao. Having reached Ye Qing's level of cultivation, it was no longer possible to take shortcuts, and even if opportunities arose, it was impossible to achieve instant success. He sat quietly, without joy or worry, and before he knew it, thousands of years had passed, completely unaware of the changes in the outside world.
