Chapter 1436: Chapter 1440: The Gathering Storm

Demon Mysterious Immortal Domain, Black Crocodile Island, ancestral land of the Situ Immortal Clan.

Flames shot into the sky on the island, with a large number of corpses visible.

In the central part of the island stood a massive black tower several hundred feet tall, with the words “Black Crocodile Tower” inscribed on its facade.

Yin Xiong and Yin Long walked out of the Black Crocodile Tower, their brows slightly furrowed.

“The intelligence was wrong, they don’t have any Dao materials.”

Yin Long said, frowning.

“It’s not surprising the intelligence was off. Let’s leave here and head to the next target. The Ice Phoenix has become a Divine Beast, with her aid, as long as the Dao Ancestor doesn’t intervene, we fear nothing.”

Yin Xiong was full of confidence.

“We can’t be so sure. Shen Long and Chu Buyu have slain Divine Beasts. As long as the Dao Ancestor doesn’t step in and we don’t provoke Shen Long and Chu Buyu, we should be fine.”

Yin Long said, blowing a whistle.

A massive White Phoenix flew over from somewhere on the island. Judging by its aura, it had the Cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal Middle Stage.

The Ice Phoenix spat out a white glow, covering the corpses on the island, then swallowing them.

It landed in front of Yin Long as Yin Long and Yin Xiong climbed onto the Ice Phoenix’s back.

“Let’s leave here immediately.”

Yin Long instructed.

The Ice Phoenix lightly flapped its wings, soaring into the sky.

Yin Xiong’s right fist glowed with golden light, and with one punch, shattered the void.

A flash of a Golden Giant Fist appeared, smashing into Black Crocodile Island.

A deafening boom erupted as the entire Black Crocodile Island exploded, with billowing dust everywhere.

Over half a month later, news of the Situ Immortal Clan’s annihilation spread, causing panic among the major factions within the Demon Domain.

······

Heavenly Demon Immortal Domain, a vast expanse of black sea.

A giant Nine-Colored Thunder Light shot up into the sky, strikingly conspicuous.

Huangfu Rong and Huangfu Shuo stood high in the sky, their expressions solemn as they gazed at the distant cluster of Nine-Colored Thunder Light.

The Nine-Colored Thunder Light had not yet dissipated when Huangfu Xiong emerged, landing in front of them.

Huangfu Xiong’s face was slightly pale, emitting a terrifying wave of Immortal Qi.

“Our Demon Race has finally produced a second Dao Ancestor.”

Huangfu Shuo was beside himself with joy, visibly excited.

“I have attained the Dao through the Earth Law, yet relying solely on a set of Top Grade Primordial Immortal Treasures, my strength still cannot match other Dao Ancestors.”

Huangfu Xiong sighed.

“Regardless, you are a Dao Ancestor now, let’s head back first!”

Huangfu Rong said as the three of them left.

······

True Dragon Island, Golden Dragon Park.

Long Xin and Long Xiang were sitting in a Green Stone Pavilion, discussing something.

“What? The Crystal Clan has been annihilated?”

Long Xin said, frowning.

The Crystal Clan was one of the Ten Major Subordinate Forces of the True Dragon Clan, filled with experts.

“Yes! The Crystal Clan couldn’t even send a message, indicating the enemy’s strength far surpassed that of the Crystal Clan. I’ve already sent someone to investigate. There are Cultivators of the Asura Tribe active within our territory, but there’s no evidence yet to prove it was the Asura Tribe’s doing.”

Long Xiang reported truthfully.

If the Asura Tribe did destroy the Crystal Clan, it means they’re targeting the Demon Clan. If not, perhaps some force is attempting to incite a war between the Demon Clan and the Asura Tribe.

“Deploy more personnel to ensure a thorough investigation. In addition, inform Friend Ape and the others to enhance their vigilance and not give the enemy any opportunity.”

Long Xin instructed.

Without evidence proving it was the Asura Tribe’s doing, he dared not rashly target the Asura Tribe.

Times have changed, and the Asura Tribe might possess Dao Artifacts. The Demon Clan does not dare to rashly war with the Asura Tribe.

“Yes, Clan Leader.”

Long Xiang readily agreed.

······

Individual subordinate forces under the Zhang Family Dao Clan, Demon Clan, Demon Race, Asura Tribe, and Evil God Race were successively annihilated, causing anxiety among many factions.

Some say it’s due to old rivals seeking revenge, but more believe it’s a precursor to a great war among the Five Great Forces, with these annihilations being just the harbingers, leaving people in panic.

The Five Great Forces did not step forward to clarify, potentially tacitly acknowledging the work of rival forces.

······

Time flew by, and a hundred thousand years passed.

Ziwei Celestial Realm, Myriad Beasts Beasts Sect.

Myriad Beasts Beast Garden, Chu Buyu and Gongsun Ying were casually chatting in a Green Stone Pavilion.

Gongsun Ying was hitting the Great Luo Golden Immortal in the Ten Thousand Spirits Mountain Range, with Myriad Beasts Beasts Sect providing resources, she successfully ascended to Great Luo Golden Immortal.

“Thanks to your resources, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to ascend to Great Luo Golden Immortal.”

Gongsun Ying said gratefully.

“It was just a small gesture, not worth mentioning. Fairy Gongsun has just ascended to Great Luo Golden Immortal, continue to stay in our Myriad Beasts Beasts Sect and cultivate diligently.”

Chu Buyu said warmly.

“After all, I’m an outsider. It’s not good to keep disturbing you.”

Gongsun Ying said, frowning.

She wasn’t a disciple of Myriad Beasts Beasts Sect, staying there was inconvenient.

“What? Has anyone neglected Friend Gongsun?”

A gentle male voice sounded.

With those words, Shen Long stepped out from Qingpeng Pavilion.

“Shen Dao… Senior Shen!”

Gongsun Ying sensed the powerful aura emanating from Shen Long and immediately stood up.

Gongsun Ying was full of shock, as Shen Long had ascended to Dao Ancestor.

“You know, we really are destined. If you don’t mind, work for our Myriad Beasts Beasts Sect! We will provide resources for your cultivation.”

Shen Long said warmly.

He had a good impression of Gongsun Ying, who was proficient in Artifact Refining Technique, and her joining Myriad Beasts Beasts Sect would be beneficial for its development.

“Thank you, Senior Shen, I am willing to serve Myriad Beasts Beasts Sect.”

Gongsun Ying readily agreed.

With Shen Long personally inviting, how could Gongsun Ying refuse? She didn’t want to decline either.

With a Dao Ancestor as a backing, she could practically traverse the Immortal Realm unimpeded.

She recalled something, hesitated a bit, took out an exquisite green Jade Box, and handed it to Shen Long: “Senior Shen, this is a Dao Material Golden Profound Immortal Jade I collected, a congratulatory gift for your ascension to Dao Ancestor.”

“Golden Profound Immortal Jade?”

There was a glimmer of surprise in Shen Long’s eyes.

He accepted the Jade Box, opened it to find a palm-sized piece of golden jade stone, with tiny holes on its surface, as if gnawed by insects.

“Indeed, it’s Golden Profound Immortal Jade. What do you wish for?”

Shen Long asked.

“To be honest, I come from the Gongsun Immortal Clan and wish to rebuild it.”

Gongsun Ying appeared expectant.

She previously didn’t dare admit it, but that was because she was hoping to rebuild the Gongsun Immortal Clan in the future.

“Rebuild the Gongsun Immortal Clan? How many members of your Gongsun Family are still alive?”

Shen Long inquired.

“I don’t dare to presume, but if you don’t mind, we wish to rebuild the Gongsun Immortal Clan in the Ziwei Celestial Realm, and we are willing to become a subordinate force to the Myriad Beasts Beasts Sect. We, the Gongsun Immortal Clan, are willing to serve as a subordinate force to the Myriad Beasts Beasts Sect,” said Gongsun Ying with a look of anticipation.

In the past, she didn’t dare to admit it, but that’s because she was hoping to rebuild the Gongsun Immortal Clan in the future.

“No problem, I’ll have someone make a trip with you to the Qingyang Immortal Domain and bring them all to the Ziwei Celestial Realm.”

Shen Long said.

“Thank you, Senior. I will do as you command.”

Gongsun Ying kowtowed three times, expressing her gratitude.
