Boom!
As Ye Ling's black energy projectile smashed down, the entire world was illuminated in black and white. Turbulent spiritual energy coiled around, tearing everything apart!
The vast Cloud Palace Northern China Branch was instantly leveled!
Xu Changsheng stared blankly below, his gaze completely vacant.
"This, this..."
He opened his mouth, but found himself utterly speechless, unable to find any words to describe his current feelings.
It was simply too exaggerated!
The Cloud Palace Northern China Branch, even if not the top force in Hua Country, was among the elite of Hua Country's extraordinary circles. It could already contend with their Shu Mountain and the Dragon Department, a behemoth that most domestic forces dared not provoke!
In fact, a significant part of the current chaotic state of Hua Country's extraordinary circles was also due to this Cloud Palace Northern China Branch!
But...
Such a top-tier force, dominating one region, vanished into thin air in the blink of an eye.
With just one casual move from Ye Ling, this behemoth, which struck fear into countless forces, was directly flattened...
Even a god might not be able to achieve this, right?
Xu Changsheng's mind went blank, and he found it difficult to breathe.
Compared to Xu Changsheng's uncontainable shock, Ye Ling remained calm. He looked at the massive crater below, his eyes unfathomably deep, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.
In reality, the Cloud Palace Northern China Branch was not much different in strength from the Cloud Palace Western China Branch. Ye Ling could even sense several powerful presences within it.
If both sides revealed all their trump cards, the Cloud Palace Northern China Branch might even have a slight edge over the Cloud Palace Western China Branch in terms of strength.
Unfortunately, Ye Ling had other pressing matters in Shanghai and was not in the mood to play around here. Naturally, he decided to level the branch and be done with it.
For Ye Ling, the power he used was less than one ten-thousandth of his true strength. Compared to destroying the Cloud Palace's Northern China Branch, Ye Ling felt that controlling his power to just the level needed to destroy the Cloud Palace branch without harming the Earth was a more difficult task.
Ye Ling swept his divine soul over the ruins of the base below. He no longer sensed any life signatures and said to Xu Changsheng, "Let's go. The matter here is settled. You can return to Shu Mountain first. After I finish handling... hmm?"
Ye Ling's words trailed off as he suddenly felt an ancient creature awakening beneath the ground, followed by a surge of extremely powerful aura.
Rumble...
The earth began to shake, and dark clouds gathered in the sky.
"Roar—!"
A mournful cry, as if from ancient times, erupted from the depths of the earth, soaring towards the heavens and echoing across the wilderness.
Soon, the gates of the Immortal Realm opened, and a large number of heavenly soldiers and generals appeared in the sky above the grassland, exuding an imposing aura.
"Heavenly soldiers and generals? They've come too?" Ye Ling looked at the heavenly soldiers standing in the clouds, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes, wondering what creature had awakened.
The number of heavenly soldiers and generals who came this time was even greater than when the Tongtian Clan giants had revived before.
Ye Ling roughly scanned the number of heavenly soldiers and generals with his divine soul; there were at least fifty thousand!
Seeing the grand spectacle in the sky, Xu Changsheng was even more stunned. He stared dumbfoundedly at the heavenly soldiers and generals in the sky, his mind a complete blank, having ceased to think.
Ever since he started following Ye Ling, Xu Changsheng had always thought that the scenes he witnessed were the most incredible of his life!
However, Ye Ling always proved him wrong, showing him with facts that there was no "most incredible," only "more outrageous"!
"Hea-heavenly soldiers and generals..." Xu Changsheng's body trembled slightly, his mouth dry. He had never witnessed such a formation in his life!
Cultivators naturally sought immortality and enlightenment, hoping to ascend to the Immortal Realm one day, seeking eternal life and freedom in the world.
However, whether the Immortal Realm existed was a legend for the entire extraordinary circle; no one could confirm the authenticity of the Immortal Realm's existence.
But now, Xu Changsheng had personally witnessed the descent of heavenly soldiers and generals, and in such vast numbers. How could he not be shocked?
The heavenly soldiers and generals from the Immortal Realm quickly erected a barrier, separating this area from the human realm, preventing the outside world from observing the specific situation in this region.
Concurrently, the heavenly soldiers and generals began to form an array, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Ye Ling was observing the heavenly soldiers and generals as they deployed their forces. Then, two immortal attendants instantly appeared before Ye Ling and Xu Changsheng. Just as they were about to advise Ye Ling and Xu Changsheng to leave, they were restrained by two other immortal attendants who arrived later!
"Do not be disrespectful to the Emperor!"
The two immortal attendants who came out later were precisely the ones who had advised Ye Ling on the Pacific Ocean and had witnessed Ye Ling's true power!
After Ye Ling easily defeated Lei Gong, who had violated heavenly rules, and sent Dian Mu away in disgrace, Ye Ling had gained considerable fame in the Immortal Realm.
Many high immortals in the Immortal Realm knew that a cultivator with extremely overbearing cultivation had been born in the human realm, whose power surpassed that of immortals and gods!
Even many battle-hungry immortals were itching to descend and spar with Ye Ling.
For these two immortal attendants who had witnessed Ye Ling's power, they had just returned to the Immortal Realm and had not yet reported to their superiors when the Immortal Realm once again sensed unusual activity in the human realm, issuing a warning.
And this warning was for the unprecedented great catastrophe that was about to descend!
The Jade Emperor personally ordered the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li to lead fifty thousand heavenly soldiers to the mortal realm to eliminate the demonic calamity with all their might.
The two immortal attendants who descended with King Li never expected to encounter Ye Ling again in such a place!
Was this also Ye Ling's doing?
They dared not think about it and could only warn the other two ignorant immortal attendants, "The Emperor is the supreme ruler of the human realm. You two must not be disrespectful!"
The other two immortal attendants were unaware of Ye Ling's affairs and were reprimanded by the other two immortal attendants. They were bewildered and did not react for a moment.
However, they were mere newcomers. After being reprimanded, they dared not speak and quickly bowed to Ye Ling to apologize, "This humble immortal was ignorant and offended the Emperor. We shall depart now!"
With that, the two ignorant immortal attendants quickly retreated into the clouds, leaving this place to the two who knew Ye Ling.
After those two immortal attendants left, Ye Ling looked at the two who had arrived later and smiled, "So it's you two. We truly have fate."
Seeing Ye Ling's smile, the two immortal attendants felt immense pressure and quickly bowed, "This humble immortal Dan Qing (Dan Hong) pays respects to the Emperor."
They clearly remembered how Ye Ling had treated Lei Gong and Dian Mu last time!
Seeing the attitude of the two immortal attendants towards Ye Ling, Xu Changsheng was also somewhat bewildered, not understanding what was happening.
Even the gods in the sky were so respectful to Senior?
Xu Changsheng no longer dared to imagine what kind of existence Ye Ling was!
"This must be the renowned immortal of the human realm, Emperor Ye Ling, right?"
At this moment, a booming voice rolled down from the sky.
Ye Ling looked up and saw a general wearing armor, a golden-winged crow treasure crown, holding a pagoda in his left hand, and a sword at his waist, riding the clouds.
Seeing the general approach, Dan Qing and Dan Hong's expressions changed slightly. They both bowed to the general and stepped forward to greet him, "This humble immortal... pays respects to King Li!"
