"Remember well then!"

Letian Zhao indifferently said, as terrifying power surged from his hands, directly blasting the White Robed Demon Monarch into nothingness.

Afterwards, with a thought, he once again wielded the Power of Rules, eradicating all forces that held grudges against him in the Four Symbols Domain!

Subsequently, he found the Dean and Vice Dean of the Holy Spirit Academy, as well as Murong Zhan from the Gray Wolf Kingdom, among others, and brought them all into his Small World, then, with the help of the Ghost King Stele, he was once again transported back to the Youzhou Continent!

Next, Letian Zhao set out directly for the Holy Continent, in search of Ji Hongling!

However, it was said that the distance between the Holy Continent and the other eight continents was extremely vast!

Even with Letian Zhao's current Emperor-level Peak cultivation, it would take a great deal of time to fly there on foot, so he needed to make use of the Nine Provinces Transport Array once more!

"If one wishes to use the Nine Provinces Transport Array to travel to other continents, the first step is to repair the corresponding transport portals, and to repair these portals, one must become a Level 6 Artifact Refiner!"

Letian Zhao looked at the Nine Provinces Transport Array in the Lanruo Temple, silently pondering.

"Whoosh!"

In the next moment, with a thought, he returned to his Small World.

The Small World of today had expanded countless times over, and was still rapidly enlarging!

"The scale of my Small World is unknown how many times larger than that of a typical person at the Emperor-level Peak. Right now, I need only to utilize the power of my Small World, and should be able to directly crush other Emperor-level Peak powerhouses!"

Letian Zhao hovered in the cosmic void of the Small World like a deity, watching the massive nebulas continuously coalesce into form, and he couldn't help but think to himself.

Here, he was a god, able to freely harness the power of the entire world, controlling life and death, dominating time and space!

"With my current strength, I can accelerate the flow of time in my Small World by up to a thousand times! That is to say, if a year passes in the outside world, a thousand years would pass here! With these thousand years, it should be enough for me to raise my mastery in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and other areas, all to the Emperor-level Peak!"

Letian Zhao thought to himself.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, he thought and immediately changed the flow of time within the Small World!

...

Time quietly passed.

Soon, a year had gone by in the outside world!

But in Letian Zhao's Small World, a full thousand years had passed!

After a period of diligent study and practice, all aspects of Letian Zhao's abilities reached the Emperor-level Peak, powerful to the point where there was hardly any room for further progression!

During this time, he left the Small World multiple times, first scouring the entire Youzhou Continent for a plethora of precious materials to construct transport portals to other continents, and then using those arrays, he traveled throughout the Nine Provinces Continent, collecting countless treasures. With these collected treasures, he forged many Peak Emperor Weapons!

Not only him, during these long thousand years in the Small World, the other inhabitants also underwent significant changes.

Most importantly, Letian Zhao's parents and his women had all ascended to the Emperor-level Peak with his wholehearted assistance!

Besides, the cultivation levels of the others had also greatly improved, nearly all reaching the Emperor level.

Moreover, the number of all kinds of beings within the Small World had multiplied many times over, populating various planets within the Small World, giving rise to all manner of brilliant civilizations. With Letian Zhao's help, they possessed very formidable strength!

Additionally, worth mentioning are Letian Zhao's followers, the Star Sea Five Tigers, the siblings Cheng Jiayin, mother and daughter Zi Xue—they all became Level 6 Artifact Refiners, Level 6 Alchemists, and Level 6 Array Masters respectively, under Letian Zhao's tutelage!

Over the course of this year, they had become Grandmaster figures within the Small World, with countless disciples and revered by thousands.

"It's about time, I should head to the Holy Continent now!"

After elevating all aspects of his strength to an unsurpassable degree, Letian Zhao was finally ready to set out for the Holy Continent.

"Swoosh!"

The next moment, with a single thought, he stepped into the teleportation gateway corresponding to the Holy Continent.

Then, with a flash of light, he and the teleportation gateway both vanished without a trace.

...

The Holy Continent, located at the very center of the Nine Provinces World, with the largest area and the strongest power!

It was said that there even exist beings here that surpass the Emperor Level!

Zhao Letian originally wanted to enhance his strength directly to that realm through a thousand years of arduous cultivation, but ultimately he found that the time was not right, and he was never able to pierce through that barrier.

At this time, in the core region of the Holy Continent.

An endless army of the Demon Clan was besieging the Human Clan's Holy City.

The Demon Clan was formidable, always gaining the upper hand, while the weaker Human Clan could only rely on their towering city walls and powerful Arrays to barely hold their ground, but the situation was extremely perilous. The City Protection Formation had already been torn open by many breaches, and a countless number of the Demon Clan's forces were frantically charging into the city!

"Ha ha, today is the day the Human Clan will be annihilated!"

"That's right, charge into the city, kill all the Human Clan's men, and toy with their women!"

Several Emperor-level Peak powerhouses among the Demon Clan were shouting madly, casually throwing their hands and feet could easily annihilate masses of humans!

"Evil beasts! How dare you run amok!"

"Die, you demons!"

Within the Human Clan, there were also several Emperor-level Peak powerhouses loudly protesting in rage, desperately resisting the onslaught of the Demon Clan's forces.

However, almost twice as many Emperor-level Peak powerhouses were among the Demon Clan compared to the Human Clan!

Moreover, the Demon Clan's strength was inherently formidable, making it hard for humans of the same level to contend with them!

As a result, even though the Emperor-level Peak powerhouses among the Human Clan were the elite of the Emperor-level powerhouses, they still struggled to withstand the strong offensive of the Demon Clan. They were barely holding on, in a precarious state, and it looked like they could collapse completely at any moment!

"Will our Human Clan's Holy City, which has stood for countless ages, truly be destroyed by our hands today?"

Atop the city walls of the Holy City, there stood a breathtakingly beautiful woman dressed in a black battle robe, noble and majestic. She was watching the tragic battle situation outside the city, her delicate brows deeply furrowed, her beautiful eyes filled with worry and guilt!

However, what she was most concerned about was not the battle situation below, but the three Demon Clan powerhouses hovering in the distant sky!

Though the battle below was disadvantageous for the Human Clan, if she could intervene, she could turn the tide and sweep away the Demon Clan!

The problem was, the three Demon Clan powerhouses in the distant sky, like her, all possessed terrifying power that surpassed the Emperor Level!

With those three Demon Clan powerhouses not making a move, she dared not rashly intervene in the battle below!

"Give up, Supreme Fu Hao, your husband has taken away half of the Human Clan's forces. Today, no matter what, you can't stop our Demon Clan!"

One of the Demon Clan powerhouses in the sky shouted.

The woman known as Supreme Fu Hao immediately furrowed her brows.

What the Demon Clan powerhouse said was true, her husband had to take away half of the Human Clan's forces to counter the invasion of the Demon Clan, leaving only half of their people here who indeed could not stop the Demon Clan's army!

However, she had not given up and was still hoping for a miracle to appear.

"Buzz!"

Just at that moment, the space above the battlefield trembled, and Zhao Letian's figure emerged into view.
