142: Cause of the Zhangxian Ancient War

The moment he broke through to the third level of the Dongxu Realm, endless waves of air surged and rolled, enveloping the entire pleasure boat and forming a giant spiritual energy vortex above it. The entire Dongyue Lake seemed to be submerged in a doomsday scenario.

The spiritual energy contained within the flowers, plants, and trees along the shore was completely absorbed by Lin Ruiyang, all used to stabilize his Realm.

"Is this still the Dongxu Realm? Even a mid-stage Saint Realm expert wouldn't cause such a commotion when breaking through!"

Qin Shengjie's gaze fell upon Lin Ruiyang, his eyes shining brightly. His heart was filled with both envy and longing.

If he could possess the same Physique and Cultivation Technique as Lin Ruiyang, why would he need to stay in this Tianji Pavilion, serving as a mere Elder? The All Heavens and Various Domains, the Primordial Old Earth, that was his true stage.

A moment later, Qin Shengjie withdrew his gaze and slowly lowered his head. A hint of gloom appeared in the depths of his eyes. Such a significant Opportunity, he absolutely couldn't just watch it slip away.

However, now was not a good time to act. He could only wait for an Opportunity during the Ancient City Dao Discussion or on the Soaring Dragon Arena.

Thinking of this, Qin Shengjie decided that he must properly handle the upcoming grand event in an upright manner, so as not to startle the snake.

Half an hour later, Lin Ruiyang slowly opened his eyes, his Realm finally stabilized at the third level of the Dongxu Realm.

At this moment, everyone present cast astonished gazes at Lin Ruiyang, as if they were staring at some kind of monster.

"This... he succeeded in breaking through just like that?"

Many heaven's favored couldn't help but rub their eyes, sighing repeatedly, their expressions dim, as if they had suffered a severe blow.

When others were in the Dongxu Realm, breaking through a minor Realm, it would take at least ten to fifteen days to stabilize the Realm.

Yet Lin Ruiyang only took half an hour. Although it was just preliminary Realm stabilization, this speed was too terrifying, wasn't it? Was he even human?

"Brother Lin, your Realm..."

Li Tianya looked at Lin Ruiyang with a face full of disbelief, feeling somewhat dazed, finding it too unreal.

He knew Lin Ruiyang was unusual, but he didn't expect him to be so monstrous.

He had only entered the Dongxu Realm ten years ago and had already reached the Late Stage of the Dongxu Realm. Before, he heard that Lin Ruiyang only took three years to Cultivate from the Qi Refining Realm to the Peak of the Golden Core Realm, and he wasn't surprised, because he could do the same at such low Realms.

However, for Lin Ruiyang to still break through so quickly in the Nascent Soul Realm and Dongxu Realm, this was a bit abnormal.

He had to admit, his talent, which he had always been proud of, was nothing compared to Lin Ruiyang's.

"My Physique is special, so stabilizing my Realm is a bit faster!"

Hearing Li Tianya's words, Lin Ruiyang just smiled slightly and replied vaguely.

Naturally, he wouldn't say that the reason he could break through Realms so easily was because he possessed an Immortal Soul and an Immortal Body.

For others, the Dongxu Realm might be a high-level Realm, but for Lin Ruiyang, who possessed an Immortal Body and Immortal Soul, it was not much different from breaking through the Golden Core Realm.

The moment Lin Ruiyang finished cultivating, the vortex above Dongyue Lake also slowly dissipated.

In just half an hour, the people living around Dongyue Lake felt as if an eternity had passed. They had been enduring in fear and anxiety, afraid that Lin Ruiyang's excessive extraction of spiritual energy would turn the entire Dongyue Lake into a dead zone.

Fortunately, Lin Ruiyang didn't leave nothing behind, preserving a glimmer of vitality for Dongyue Lake. It would only take ten to fifteen days to recover.

With that, Lin Ruiyang tried clenching his fist. In an instant, his entire body emitted bursts of explosive sounds, and his bones made sounds like weapons colliding.

Lin Ruiyang activated his Ghost Eyes for an internal inspection and saw strange blue runes intertwined around his bones.

"This Dao Rhyme is truly extraordinary!"

Lin Ruiyang's lips curved into an arc. Looking at his Physical Body, which had been immersed in Dao Rhyme, he felt extremely satisfied.

Terrifying power flowed within his body. Gently raising his arm, the surrounding airflow constantly drifted outwards.

"So strong. Facing a Saint King who has just entered the Realm now, even if I can't win, I should have the strength to escape!"

Feeling the power within his body, a flicker of shock flashed in Lin Ruiyang's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

At this moment, if a Peak Saint Realm expert came, he would kill one. As long as he wasn't surrounded by a group of Peak Saint Realm experts, there would basically be no problem.

"Brother Lin, speaking of which, have you ever seen a real Demon Clan member?"

Just then, Li Tianya, who was beside him, suddenly asked.

In fact, it wasn't just him; when Lin Ruiyang expressed his views on good and evil, many people present had this question in their hearts.

The Demon Clan he spoke of naturally referred to the Demon Clan from the Dark Demon Territory, not people who cultivated Demonic Techniques.

"I have never left the Xuanhuang World, how could I have seen one!"

Hearing Li Tianya's words, Lin Ruiyang withdrew his Aura and shook his head, saying.

Strictly speaking, he came from outside the Xuanhuang World. Both Double Emperor Mountain and Blue Star belong outside the Xuanhuang World. However, one thing he didn't lie about was that he had indeed never seen the Demon Clan.

"I heard that the Demon Clan's demonic bodies have extremely strong defenses. Human cultivators of the same Realm simply cannot break through their physical bodies! And they are extremely cruel. If you encounter them in the future, try to stay as far away as possible!"

Li Tianya leaned closer to Lin Ruiyang, glanced around, and said in a low voice with a mysterious air.

In the Xuanhuang World, the Demon Clan hasn't appeared for many years, but there are still quite a few in the Nantian Region. As a tomb raider who travels between various Realms, Li Tianya knows a little about these matters.

"Cruel? That's because you haven't seen truly cruel ones!"

As soon as Li Tianya finished speaking, a hint of mockery appeared on Lin Ruiyang's face, and he sighed and shook his head.

When Li Tianya mentioned the Demon Clan, Lin Ruiyang recalled some records from the original work, which were about the Immortal Ancient War ten million years ago.

"Isn't that right? Ten million years ago, it was the Demon Clan that led the Various Races to try and exterminate the Human Race in our Nantian Region!"

"Later, the Gods of the Hall of Gods descended upon the All Heavens to fight against the Demon Clan. Otherwise, the Nantian Region would have become the Demon Clan's territory long ago!"

Facing Lin Ruiyang's rhetorical question, Li Tianya was clearly a bit unconvinced and directly brought up the Immortal Ancient War from ten million years ago.

That war back then was recorded to varying degrees in the ancient texts of every Sect, and most people were aware of it.

"Dark clouds cannot forever cover the sun's light. The truth will always come out one day! When the truth is revealed to the world, you will find that this world might be completely different from what you've seen!"

Lin Ruiyang looked up at the void. A trace of sadness inexplicably arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh.

In the original work, this Universe once had a Lord of the Various Domains. He transcended the Heavenly Dao and possessed eternal life. Whether they were gods, demons, or monsters, they all revered him as supreme. He was the Taichu Ancient God.

Later, the Universe's Wall of Sighs was breached by creatures from outside the domain. A great battle ensued, resulting in countless casualties. The experts of this Universe discovered that they had no chance of winning against the creatures from outside the domain.

To protect the living beings of this Universe, the Taichu Ancient God decided to sacrifice himself to Seal the passage in the Wall of Sighs.

He knew that he was not within the Heavenly Dao, so even if he sacrificed himself, he would not truly die but would reincarnate.

As a divine being who had lived for countless years, how could he not know human nature? Once he reincarnated without his previous power, he would inevitably be located by those with ulterior motives and then killed.

Therefore, to protect himself, he divided his Primordial Spirit into nine split souls for Reincarnation. In the future, as long as one split soul could escape the pursuit, he could return to his Peak.

The result was just as he expected. As soon as he died, the Gods of the Hall of Gods began to covet the position of the Lord of the Various Domains.

However, the Reincarnation of the Taichu Ancient God's nine split souls became their biggest worry, fearing that one day the Taichu Ancient God would return and settle accounts with them, the traitors.

Later, after deduction and divination by supreme mighty figures, they discovered that one of the Taichu Ancient God's split souls had reincarnated in the Nantian Region.

However, they searched in the Nantian Region for many years and were always unable to determine who the person they were looking for was. So, the Gods of the Hall of Gods decided to slaughter all the humans in the entire Nantian Region to eliminate future troubles.
