One divine ability directly blasted the Void Return stage great cultivator, Demon Lord Xiang Ming, to the brink of death.
"Hiss!"
Everyone in the True Truth Demonic Sect drew in a sharp breath, their faces suddenly changing drastically.
The Sect Master of the True Saint Sect had only entered the Venerable realm for a little over half a year, not even a full year.
Why was his combat power so terrifying?
Among the many moves and divine abilities Chen Jiuyang mastered, a single move, 'Absolute Kill,' had easily dealt with Demon Lord Xiang Ming of the Void Return stage.
The heavy side of the scales immediately shifted to the True Truth Demonic Sect.
The remaining four Void Return stage ancestors of the True Truth Demonic Sect had their eyes flickering as they began to communicate.
"This junior from the True Saint Sect's combat power can indeed be said to surpass his peers, and it aligns well with the combat power of ancient saints."
"The most crucial point is that he is only twenty-seven years old, so young. As long as he doesn't meet an untimely end, he will surely become an Emperor or a Saint in the future."
"He is very likely to follow the path of that ancestor, unifying the Nine Sacred Dao Sects. It is heard that he has an irreconcilable feud with the Five Pseudo-Daos."
"If that is the case, and if he harbors such ambitions, what harm is there in us old bones supporting him?"
"The move he just made contained the origin of fire and a trace of fire law, enough to kill Demon Lord Xiang Ming, but he showed mercy and still had strength to spare."
"It is heard that he has also comprehended the Twelve Sacred Manifestations divine ability, Zhu Rong. If we go one by one, we won't be able to force out the details of his combat power, and he will defeat us individually."
"If that happens, not only will we old bones lose face, but the juniors in the sect will likely not be convinced."
"What are you implying?"
"Let us four old bones go together. If, at his age of twenty-seven and newly entered Venerable realm, he can defeat all four of us Void Return stage ancestors, then there will be little obstruction to unifying the Nine Sacred Dao Sects, and the juniors within the sect will also willingly submit to the True Saint Sect."
"Agreed."
These four Void Return stage ancestors had their eyes flickering as they made up their minds.
Chen Jiuyang held his saber, his golden, saint-like vital energy surging, as if he had transformed into half the sky, dyeing the sky fiery red like the dawn. His gaze was indifferent as he looked down at the True Truth Demonic Sect.
Then, the remaining four Void Return stage ancestors ascended together.
Chen Jiuyang's brows twitched slightly.
"What is the meaning of the True Truth Demonic Sect?"
The leading Void Return stage ancestor spoke, "Sect Master of the True Saint Sect, since you pursue the battle for the Sacred Dao, you should understand what this old man means."
"After some discussion, we have decided to join forces."
"If the Sect Master of the True Saint Sect can suppress us four with one hand, the entire True Truth Sect will submit. We will also sincerely follow the True Saint Sect."
"The Nine Sacred Dao Sects, but all belong to one Dao. Sect Master of the True Saint Sect, what do you say?"
Upon hearing this person's words, Chen Jiuyang's eyes flickered, and his mind began to churn.
This was an open scheme.
They were certain that Chen Jiuyang intended to unify the Nine Demonic Dao Sects.
However, if they were not convinced, managing a great demonic sect would be a troublesome matter.
If these Void Return stage ancestors came forward to follow him, things would be much simpler, making it easier for Chen Jiuyang to proceed and shortening the time and effort required to unify the Nine Demonic Dao Sects.
If he could not defeat the four of them, Chen Jiuyang would perish.
They were forcing him to reveal his trump card combat power.
They wanted to see how far the combat power of this Sect Master, who was hailed as a peerless genius and whose combat power surpassed his peers, had reached.
After a moment, Chen Jiuyang slowly sheathed his saber. Golden light flowed in his eyes, and his indifferent voice spread out.
"Since the four seniors have such good intentions, then—"
"This seat accepts!"
"Come, fight!"
As his voice fell, Chen Jiuyang's aura surged once more.
"This seat is Guang Ji!"
"This seat is An He!"
"This seat is Wei Ang!"
"This seat is Qi Fu!"
The four Void Return stage ancestors of the True Truth Demonic Sect cupped their fists in salute.
The people of the True Truth Demonic Sect and the True Demonic Sect erupted.
Four Void Return stage ancestors were going to join forces against Sect Master Qianyang alone!
This!
The next moment.
The heavens and earth changed color, and all things roared.
The Void Return stage great cultivators, Old Monster Guang Ji, Daoist An He, Old Demon Wei Ang, and Monster Qi Fu, all erupted with vital energy that seemed to shake the heavens and earth.
From the four directions, demonic energy-laden Dharma Manifestations and divine abilities emerged, bizarre and multicolored, as if about to pour down from the sky, pressing down on those with lower cultivation, making it difficult to breathe.
Nascent Soul condenses Dao, Void Return enters reality and grasps origin, the power of laws. Only upon reaching the Dao Integration stage could one master them.
The Dharma Manifestations and divine abilities of those who entered the Dao and mastered the power of origin were lifelike, as if gods and demons had revived, and the sky was a vast expanse of darkness.
"Boom!!!"
The rain continued to fall, and thunder dragons roared.
"These four Dharma Manifestations, the Immortal Dao Void Return stage is to condense a Dao Body to carry the origin."
"They are displaying their strongest moves right from the start."
"It seems they truly intend to force out the bottom line of my strength."
"Since that is the case, then this first battle to subdue the True Truth Demonic Sect will surely not disappoint you."
"All laws of heaven and earth, break them with force!"
"Chi You!!!"
Chen Jiuyang roared, and the golden, saint-like vital energy on his body suddenly spun, erupting with black flames that seemed to burn everything.
The demonic mark on his hand was instantly unsealed.
"Rumble!!!"
"Clang!!!"
A six-armed Chi You divine ability phantom, one hundred meters tall, with a vast, cold, and terrifying aura, slowly materialized from heaven and earth.
Black flames mixed with golden fire, transforming into a six-armed Chi You phantom of glazed blue, with terrifying black flames flickering on its surface.
The six arms of Chi You held a saber, sword, bow, spear, hammer, and axe respectively!
The void rippled with layers of waves, and the spiritual energy in heaven and earth went into chaos, all surging towards Chen Jiuyang and this six-armed Chi You divine ability.
"Hiss!!!"
"The Sect Master actually possesses such a terrifying divine ability!"
"Zhu Rong! Chi You! How many more divine abilities has he comprehended!"
Some people watched this scene with hearts full of fear, their features contorted.
Chen Jiuyang stood with his hands behind his back, his vast vital energy continuously outputting and circulating. His hair stood on end, and black flames surged from his entire body, making him appear like a god or a demon.
After a moment, his indifferent voice sounded.
"Come."
In his plain words lay an indescribable arrogance and coldness.
The next instant.
The four Void Return stage ancestors attacked simultaneously.
"Splendid Two Energies Kill!"
"Great Sun Spirit Hidden Dragon Cleave!"
"Glazed Rainbow Light Hegemony Mist!"
"Four Fiends Crossing Fate Divine Blast!"
The four Void Return stage Dharma Manifestations and divine abilities struck in unison, their power astonishingly great, like the end of the world. The mountains and forests instantly collapsed, and all life perished.
Gazing at the terrifying Dharma Manifestation attacks coming from the southeast, northwest, and west, Chen Jiuyang stood within the Chi You phantom in the void and uttered two words.
"Primordial Dao—Breakthrough!"
The six-armed Chi You phantom, holding a long saber in one of its arms, suddenly plunged it into the void below, as if stabbing into the ground. Vast vital energy surged from the saber tip.
"Whoosh!"
A blue barrier, like a water curtain, instantly enveloped the Chi You divine ability phantom.
"Rumble!!!"
Explosions continued incessantly, threatening to shatter eardrums. The resulting beams of vital energy threatened to blind one's eyes.
This was a battle that transcended the mortal realm and entered the realm of the extraordinary and the saintly.
