431: Ji Cangsheng is gripped by fear!

The Immortal Island seemed to be suddenly gripped by an invisible hand possessing supreme power, coming to a complete standstill.

Everything fell into a strange and terrifying state of stagnation. The Immortal Realm army's formation, vast like mountains and seas with a magnificent Aura, now appeared as if cast under a binding spell.

Their postures were rigid; some raised swords to strike, others held bows ready to fire, yet all lost the ability to move in this instant. Even their hair strands froze in the air, and the cold glint of their iron armor seemed to be frozen, no longer flickering or flowing.

The Ancient Dao Cultivators were similarly subjected to the confinement of this mysterious power, unable to move a single inch.

Even the desire to slightly turn their necks to glance at the surrounding situation with their peripheral vision was an unattainable luxury.

The Immortal Island, where a great battle had been on the verge of breaking out, was now shrouded in deathly silence. There was no sound of wind, no chirping of birds, no signs of any life activity, only a hair-raising stillness that seemed capable of devouring everything.

However, in this suffocating atmosphere of deathly silence, the three Elders of the Demon Sealing Sect presented a completely different state.

Their faces were flushed red, their eyes flashing with fanatical and excited light. Their gazes were fixed firmly on the jade pendant at the waist of the White-robed Figure.

"demon sealing jade! classic of mountains and seas! He is the Ninth Generation Demon Sealing Dao Venerable!!!"

On the Ascending Heaven Road. Having just shouted the two words "Xiao Nian," Luo Li also regained her senses.

"Are you the Ninth Generation?" Luo Li asked, her tone shifting to become slightly calmer.

She looked at the person before her, yet she dared not confirm his identity at first. She felt very familiar with his appearance and Aura, but he was vastly different from the Disciple in her memory—who was only at the Golden Core Stage and had no talent in the path of the sword!

The white-robed man before her emitted not a single ripple of fluctuation. The surrounding environment seemed to be shrouded by an invisible curtain, isolating all noise and disturbance from the outside.

He just stood there, giving Luo Li a feeling as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea. It was as if the more she tried to see him clearly, the more she would lose herself!

One must know, she was at the Immortal Emperor Realm!

This situation was something she had only felt from the Eighth Generation Demon Sealer, The First Dao, her Revered Master!

Most importantly! It was the demon sealing jade and the classic of mountains and seas! With both great divine objects of the Demon Sealing Sect in the other's hands, what this represented was self-evident!

The person before her was the one regarded as hope by the entire Demon Sealing Sect—no, to be precise, regarded as the savior of the entire Human Race—hailed as the Peak of demon sealing, invincible as long as he did not die, the Ninth Generation Demon Sealing Dao Venerable!!!

It was not that she did not want to associate the man before her with her own Disciple, but that she simply dared not! This was simply too outrageous!

She knew Shen Nian's talent very well; even if given another hundred thousand years, it would be absolutely impossible for him to Cultivate to the point of easily stepping onto the Immortal Realm's Ascending Heaven Road, let alone it only being a few years since then!!!

She dared not think; she simply dared not think...

But immediately after, Luo Li was stunned. The white-robed man suddenly squatted down, squinted his eyes and smiled, reached out a pair of slender hands, and pinched her cheeks from left and right. It was not that she did not want to resist, but she simply could not, failing to even react.

"Revered Master, how long has it been, and you already don't remember your Disciple?" Shen Nian's voice was gentle, though inwardly he felt some regret; he shouldn't have wasted time, but fortunately, he had arrived in time.

Upon hearing these words, Luo Li's delicate body trembled, her pupils contracted sharply, and then her eyes reddened. She reached out her hand, trembling slightly, and gently touched Shen Nian's cheek.

The moment her fingers touched the man's face, Luo Li felt a familiar warmth. Her throat felt as if it were choked by something, and her voice carried a thick sob as she tremblingly said: "Xiao Nian, it really is you..."

Shen Nian let the other touch him, revealing the warmest smile he had ever shown, and nodded, his voice soft.

"Mn."

"A few years apart, and you've become even more handsome. You really have your ways. How did you pass the demon sealing assessment? How did you get the classic of mountains and seas? Where is Candle Nine Nethers? Right..."

As Luo Li spoke, she regained her senses, and her expression instantly became tense and cold. She had been too excited just now and had almost forgotten where she was!

Beside them, not only was the Immortal Realm army eyeing them covetously, but there was also Ji Cangsheng!

Although she extremely loathed the other, she had to admit that Ji Cangsheng was too strong, strong enough to make one feel despair!

"Xiao Nian, leave quickly!" "You shouldn't have come here!!!" "Go!"

Luo Li was suddenly panicked. She did not know why Ji Cangsheng did not make a move, and she began to feel afraid, especially when she realized that the Ninth Generation Demon Sealer and Shen Nian were the same person. This was tantamount to Shen Nian facing the pursuit of gods and demons!

Even her Revered Master had not been able to withstand it!

She would rather the Ninth Generation Demon Sealer not be Shen Nian; she would rather her Disciple be just an ordinary Golden Core Stage Cultivator!

Just at this moment, Shen Nian softly called out to her.

"Revered Master." "Guess how my sword technique is now?" Shen Nian asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Luo Li was stunned for a moment, then revealed a grave expression and said: "Xiao Nian, do not be impulsive. There are now countless experts here, and there is also the Dao..."

Her voice grew smaller and smaller until it was silent, with only her eyes opened wide.

Behold. Shen Nian slowly stood up, and with a casual lift, as if picking up a chick, he threw Shen Yuhuo, who was left with only one breath and whose divine body had collapsed, in front of Luo Li.

"This Disciple left this beast with one breath just so Revered Master could take care of him personally..."

Shen Yuhuo forced his eyes open to look at the dumbfounded Luo Li. His eyes held only emptiness and pain, as if he had experienced countless tortures; on the way here, he had almost been driven to have his divine heart shattered by Shen Nian.

Luo Li looked at this scene in disbelief, then looked at Shen Nian. How did he do it?

Shen Yuhuo was a god/demon at the Peak of the Ancient Realm. His powerful divine body could not be dealt with even by a first-turn Dao Realm expert, let alone the fact that he had so many trump cards. After all, he was the most beloved descendant of the gods and demons!

Yet now, he was lying in front of her like a dead dog.

"Xiao Nian..." Luo Li looked at the white-robed back standing in front of her. He had no sword in his hand, yet a wisp of Sword Intent bloomed, profound and mysterious; it was precisely the Heavenly Sword Sect's Heavenly Profound Sword Art! But it was vastly different!

At this moment, Shen Nian's gaze fell upon the motionless Ji Cangsheng nearby.

[Ding, detected the greatest villain in the life of the Daughter of Destiny, Jun Fengyan: Ji Cangsheng!]

[Original plot development: Ten thousand years later, the Daughter of Destiny, Jun Fengyan, achieves Major Achievement in her Innate Sacred Body, condenses the Chaos Mother Cauldron, lives nine lives in defiance of heaven, and after stepping into the Dao Realm, slays Ji Cangsheng with a sword...]

"Seeing me, why do you not kneel?" Shen Nian said coldly.

At this time, Ji Cangsheng's expression was extremely grave, and a sense of fear surfaced involuntarily in his heart. The reason he had not made a move was not because he did not want to, but because he could not!

In that instant, his Dao Fruit had almost shattered! He was stunned!

Clearly, this was due to the suppression of the Dao. The other's Dao surpassed his by an unknown number of levels; just a wisp of Aura was something he could not bear!

After hearing the conversation just now, Ji Cangsheng's heart was filled with earth-shattering shock.

Ninth Generation Demon Sealer? Disciple? How is that possible!!

How could the Ninth Generation Demon Sealer be so powerful that even this Emperor cannot see through his Realm!

The Fourth Star is but a discarded, broken star; even in its complete period, it would be impossible to nurture a Dao Venerable in such a short time!

One must know how vast the energy required for every Dao Venerable is; even the Immortal Realm does not have many, and he had only been able to Breakthrough because of the supreme treasure given by the gods and demons!

At the moment he was shocked in his heart, Shen Nian looked over. In this instant, Ji Cangsheng's scalp instantly exploded, as if he were being seen by an ancient deity. This feeling was the same as when he first entered the Immortal Realm and met the Eighth Generation Demon Sealer years ago.
