154: Block the demon lord's barrier!

Not all the Demon Lords of the Demon Realm had descended; only more than half had arrived. Yet, there were already nearly ten powerhouses at the Half-Step Sky Opening Realm. One could see just how terrifying the foundation of the Demon Race truly was!

And the first thing they did upon arrival was not to seek trouble with those Forbidden Grounds that had suppressed the passages for a million years, but to first taste the creatures of the Human Realm! After all, there were no humans in their Demon Realm!

"As for the Forbidden Grounds, they are tough nuts to crack; let's save them for last and gnaw on them slowly!" said a Three-Eyed Demon Lord. He was the Red-Eyed Demon Lord of the Three-Eyed Demon Race, one of the powerful Demon Races of the Demon Realm!

The other Demon Lords nodded and flew out of the Years Cave; it was time for them to enjoy their meal.

Red-Haired Old Ghost and the others also left the Years Cave. However, no sooner had they stepped out of the Years Cave than someone told them some shocking news.

"What did you say? Long Aotian has betrayed our Holy Realm?" Red-Haired Old Ghost and the others looked at the person reporting the news in disbelief.

"Yes, he said it himself. He said he has submitted to the Chu Family Beast God, and he even killed a powerhouse of the Longevity Realm!"

"This... how is this possible?"

"Long Aotian's status within the Dragon Clan is not low; how could he possibly betray the Holy Realm?" Even the Weeping Monk was extremely astonished. Those at the Half-Step Sky Opening Realm were considered the pinnacle of the Holy Realm! Having already attained fame, status, power, and wealth, they truly could not think of a reason why Long Aotian would betray the Holy Realm!

"This matter is of great importance; we must ask him personally!"

While this was being reported here, someone was also reporting to the Three-Eyed Demon Lord and the others. A barrier had appeared near the Qian Domain, covering almost half the territory of the Human Realm, and their Demon Race Martial Artists above the level of Devil Emperor could not pass through at all!

"There is such a thing?" Asura Demon Lord said in a deep voice. His outer arms and back were covered in dense bone spurs, making him look extremely eerie!

"Reporting to you, Demon Lord, some powerhouses of the Boundless Realm have already attacked, but they were still unable to break that barrier!"

"Let's go and take a look!"

"It was agreed that this Human Realm is already ours. If these Forbidden Grounds dare to interfere, I think they want to enter Reincarnation earlier!"

Asura Demon Lord waved his hand, and a Martial Saint appeared in his grasp. He bit the head off in one bite and began to eat it with a crunching sound. Blood flowed down his mouth, only to be licked back in by his scarlet tongue. Then, he stuffed the rest of the body into his mouth.

"Fragrant, truly fragrant!"

Shortly after, several Demon Lords appeared instantly near the barrier. Red-Haired Old Ghost and the Ancient Ancestors of the six major Forbidden Grounds also arrived. The latter were very confused: who exactly was that Beast God of the Chu Family? How could he make a powerhouse of the Half-Step Sky Opening Realm willing to submit?

"Is this the barrier?"

"Red-Haired, how many Forbidden Grounds are within this barrier?" Asura Demon Lord asked Red-Haired Old Ghost.

"No need to ask, this is not the method of the Forbidden Grounds!"

"Can't you feel the faint Dragon might on this barrier?"

"The one who set up this barrier must be a member of the Dragon Clan!"

Red-Haired Old Ghost's mouth twitched slightly. Could this have been done by that bastard Long Aotian? They had agreed he would come over to subdue a Dragon Clan member, but in the end, he had defected to someone else! What on earth was he trying to do?

Of course, he would not think that the barrier here was set up by the Beast God of the Chu Family! Because Long Yuan had never been taken seriously by Red-Haired Old Ghost and the others from beginning to end!

"Whoever it is, anyone who dares to block the path of our Demon Race shall be killed without mercy!" Asura Demon Lord said coldly. Then, the Divine Power within his body surged, and the bone spurs on his body bloomed with black light.

With one punch, the black light enveloped his fist. The momentum did not look vast, but if there were anyone at the Sovereign Realm or Boundless Realm in front of this punch, they would undoubtedly die! Because it contained the Supreme Divine Power and Law of the Half-Step Sky Opening Realm!

The moment the fist collided with the barrier, a loud noise like the thunder of the Nine Heavens rang out, causing everyone's eardrums to buzz. However, to everyone's surprise, under this punch that could open the heavens and split the earth, the barrier remained unscathed and did not even tremble!

Red-Haired Old Ghost and the Weeping Monk and the others looked at each other, seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes. Was that guy Long Aotian really that fierce? Could a Demon Lord of the same Realm actually not break his Divine Power barrier?

"Damn it!" Seeing that his strike hadn't caused even the slightest ripple, Asura Demon Lord felt a bit embarrassed. Who among those standing here wasn't a powerhouse of the same Realm as him? Being watched by so many people while returning in defeat—it would be strange if he weren't annoyed!

"Break for me!" Asura Demon Lord roared. Densely packed bone spurs grew out from his fist, which was emitting Devilish Qi. This was the special ability of their Asura Clan, equivalent to the innate Divine Ability of a special Physique, possessing extremely strong destructive power!

"That guy Asura has actually used his full strength!" Heavenly Wing Demon Lord and the others watched this scene with furrowed brows. Among all the Demon Lords, Asura Demon Lord's strength belonged to the upper-middle tier. Except for those old antiques still holding down the fort in the Demon Realm, there were few among the Demon Lords currently present who could surpass his combat power. To be forced to unleash his full combat power, this barrier was likely set up by a powerhouse of the same Realm as them!

"Could it be a barrier jointly set up by those Ancient Ancestors of the Forbidden Grounds?" On the side of the Ancient Ancestors, an Ancient Ancestor of the Forbidden Ground "God Realm" transmitted his voice to the Ancient Ancestor beside him.

This was not impossible. Among the Nine Great Forbidden Zones of the Human Realm, there were still three that had not cooperated with the Netherworld Hell. Adding up the Half-Step Sky Opening Realm Ancient Ancestors of these three Forbidden Grounds, there were nearly ten. If they joined forces to set up this barrier, it could completely withstand the attack of any Half-Step Sky Opening Realm powerhouse!

"This is the business of the Demon Race; it has nothing to do with us. Let's just wait and see!"

At this moment, Asura Demon Lord unleashed his full power. Supreme runes bloomed from within the bone spurs on his fist; those were the Supreme Laws belonging to the Half-Step Sky Opening Realm.

Boom! A heaven-shaking loud noise rang out once more. Asura Demon Lord's full-strength strike hit the golden barrier again. However, everyone's jaws dropped completely.

"How is it possible? This still can't be broken?" Asura Demon Lord said in shock. He had used his full strength! Under that punch, even someone of the same Half-Step Sky Opening Realm would likely find it hard to parry! But this barrier? It still hadn't caused a single ripple! Even if it were a method jointly cast by several Half-Step Sky Opening Realm powerhouses, it shouldn't be unable to stir even a single ripple! The Ancient Ancestors of the Forbidden Grounds also frowned. For there to be absolutely no movement was truly inconceivable!

"I don't believe it!" Wisps of bloodthirsty red light bloomed in the eyes of Asura Demon Lord. Today, he was really going to compete with this barrier!

The other Demon Lords did not make a move, because they knew that Asura Demon Lord's strongest method had not yet been unleashed! Sure enough, the next moment, a broken stone mirror appeared and hovered behind his head.

The stone mirror was circular, but its outer edge was irregular, looking like a circle of burning flames flickering uncertainly, ever-changing. The stone mirror emitted a gray light, engraved with the imprints of the Thirty-three Heavens and the landscape map of the mirror of the heavens. An extremely profound aura emanated from the broken stone mirror, causing everyone's hearts to tremble involuntarily!

"It has finally appeared, the World Creation Level Divine Artifact, the 'mirror of the heavens'!"

All the Demon Lords' pupils contracted, and their gazes toward the stone mirror were filled with a trace of greed and envy.
