第四千零九十一章 上古之谜(中)

Moreover, a woman like the Arrogant Deva King, who was already showing far greater strength than ordinary True Immortals at the late Tribulation Transcending stage, could not be allowed to continue growing.

If she were to successfully ascend, how could they remain on their knees before her? This was absolutely unacceptable and such a being must be eliminated while still in its infancy.

The voice of Fairy Rain桐 continued: "As time passed, the top-tier experts led by the Arrogant Deva King became increasingly feared by True Immortals. However, it wasn't easy for them to enter this world from the Three Realms. Thus, they devised a strategy to use others as tools—utilizing those fierce and combative Demonic Beasts of the Outer Regions."

"True Immortals began to manipulate these beings."

"To be clear, initially, there was no connection between the Outer Regions and the Three Realms. The initial portals were opened by True Immortals for them."

"The leaders of the Demonic Beasts had always been ambitious. With the support of immortals, they became bolder. Thus, both parties reached an agreement: True Immortals would use others as tools to achieve their goals, while the Demonic Beasts coveted the wealth and prosperity of the Three Realms, willing to serve as cannon fodder."

"During that great war, it was far more brutal than this. Countless high-ranking experts perished. Your master, Nai Long, fell in that battle." Rain桐's voice carried a hint of sorrow.

"Why do I have no recollection of any of this?" Nai Long the True Immortal scratched his head, and King Broad Cold also stood there with a puzzled expression.

This was indeed surprising; they should all have experienced it firsthand. How could they not remember anything?

"You lack memories for a reason. I will explain in due course."

Rain桐 swallowed and continued: "The Demonic Beasts were vicious, but the Three Realms produced many talented individuals at that time, especially the Arrogant Deva King, who was exceptionally brilliant."

"Under his leadership, they resisted powerful enemies. Even the Skyward Demon Ancestor could not turn back once they failed to invade. The True Immortals' plot ended in failure."

"So it turns out that even esteemed immortals can be so underhanded. Since the Arrogant Deva King had allied with the Spirit Realm against their common enemy, shouldn't we have a good relationship? Why would she lead阴司 creatures to slaughter the Spirit Realm, making rivers run red? Is this because of some trick by True Immortals, stirring up trouble between us?" Lin Xuan's contemplative voice echoed.

...

Meanwhile, Lin Xuan was not concerned with his current situation. Unknown miles away, in a different realm, another world entirely,

True Spirit Space.

This was the domain of True Spirits. Outsiders could hardly enter here, and it housed some of the most powerful beings in legends. For eons, it had remained calm, unaffected by the vicissitudes of the Three Realms.

Even the Arrogant Deva King, with her formidable presence, did not cause much commotion after subduing Nine-headed Serpent and killing Nine-tailed Bird. However, today, this long-lasting peace was violently broken.

The ancient demon silk moth became the first casualty. Soon, the nine-eyed blood toad followed...

This was far from over. Or rather, it marked the beginning of disaster.

In less than half a day, several True Spirits had been killed, and not just current ones— even their True Spirit Flames were destroyed.

Such an event had never happened before.

Although each True Spirit space operated independently, such a significant incident could not be hidden from all powerful beings.

Soon, they noticed something amiss. The figure in white was indeed that of the supreme demon, though he was an immortal. But to the True Spirits, he seemed almost as formidable as a demon king.

One-on-one combat was clearly out of the question, so the proud True Spirits began to unite.

The sky turned dark; this was a desolate plain.

True Spirit Space rarely saw such barren existence.

However, this environment suited Seven-headed Vulture best.

Seven-headed Vulture was almost as notorious as Nine-tailed Bird for its bloodthirsty nature among avian True Spirits. Not only was it peculiar in character but also incredibly powerful.

Yet, it now found itself in a desperate situation.

Its companion, the Black Water玄 Snake, was in similar straits.

The Golden Crow's position was not much better.

Three True Spirits working together could not even make a dent. It wasn't that they couldn't fight; it was simply a different level of power.

They were not engaging an enemy but merely fighting for their lives.

The three-headed True Spirit showed signs of despair, moving left and right in a futile attempt to escape.

"Such foolish creatures, still trying to struggle even when at such a dire state? Either submit or perish."

"I... I will submit."

A hiss echoed as Seven-headed Vulture spoke.

"You are willing to submit?"

"Yes, please spare me."

"Alright!"

The young man in white showed no doubt. With a wave of his sleeves, the net-like trap he had set began to show a gap.

Seven-headed Vulture rejoiced and flew out with a flap of its wings.

It was already over a hundred feet away from the young man before it could be noticed due to their enormous size.

However, Seven-headed Vulture's eyes showed a hint of malice. Without warning, seven streams of sand, lightning, and flames burst forth from each of its heads.

Each attack contained different cosmic laws.

Like a storm, like meteorites falling, they completely engulfed the young man.

"Haha, fool! Do you really think I would submit to anyone?"

Victory was sweet as his triumphant laughter echoed. Defeating a powerful enemy made him feel elated.

However, before he could finish, his laughter abruptly stopped. In the midst of blazing flames and lightning, the young man in white walked out unhurt, his clothes spotless.

"Fool! A fickle creature, is that all you can do?"

Disgust was evident on the young man's face: "I gave you a chance; since you didn't cherish it, I'll send you to the Underworld."

Before he could finish speaking, he cast a spell. The myriad volumes of heaven and earth in his hand emitted brilliant light, with seven-colored lights emanating from its surface.

A distant voice seemed to echo in his ears...

Meanwhile, in the Kingdom of Qing Qiu,

"Arrogant Deva King led阴司 creatures to slaughter the Spirit Realm, it was indeed a trick by True Immortals. But it's not as simple as you think."

Rain桐 sighed: "We must go back to when the Demonic Beasts failed..." (To be continued...)
