673: Chapter 673 It's better to play it safe!

"Fellow Daoists, did... did you see clearly? What exactly just happened?"

"No! I'm also wondering! Where did those Loose Cultivators go? Were they teleported away? Or... were they killed?"

"Is... the Ancient Road to Immortality really that dangerous?"

"Perhaps those Loose Cultivators are fine? Maybe they were just teleported into the trials of the Ancient Road to Immortality?"

"This old man feels that this Ancient Road to Immortality is extremely dangerous. Everyone should be careful!"

...

Many experts from various major factions who were previously eager to try now did not dare to enter directly, fearing that they would be the next to suffer.

But the Opportunity for Immortal Ascension was right at the end of this Ancient Road to Immortality!

So, many experts held onto a glimmer of hope, believing that those Loose Cultivators were just teleported away and hadn't actually died.

Immediately, the experts of the various factions began to wait in place in a tacit understanding.

Their eyes were fixed on the entrance of the Ancient Road to Immortality, carefully observing the situation there.

However, those Loose Cultivators did not reappear.

There were no other changes at the entrance of the Ancient Road to Immortality either.

That meant those Loose Cultivators had likely met with a grim fate.

The expressions of the experts from the various factions slowly turned extremely ugly, and at the same time, they were somewhat caught in a dilemma.

If they entered the Ancient Road to Immortality to seek the Opportunity for Immortal Ascension...

They couldn't see through how those Loose Cultivators had died, and they were worried they would meet the same end as soon as they entered.

But if they didn't enter the Ancient Road to Immortality...

The Opportunity for Immortal Ascension would slip through their fingers.

And none of them wanted to give up!

What if they were lucky enough to actually obtain the Opportunity for Immortal Ascension?

Thus, the atmosphere near the Ancient Road to Immortality became solemn.

After a moment, some experts finally made up their minds and no longer hesitated.

Various colored spiritual lights suddenly erupted from their bodies, releasing powerful auras that caused the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to fall into chaos.

Immediately after, they took to the air, preparing to fly directly toward the entrance of the Ancient Road to Immortality.

But just then, a sinister and terrifying voice suddenly came from afar, echoing throughout the entire Guixu Plain.

"Jie jie jie, hypocritical Righteous Path Cultivators! Since you don't dare to enter the Ancient Road to Immortality, then we will go in first! The Opportunity for Immortal Ascension belongs to us Demonic Cultivators!"

As soon as the voice fell, countless streaks of demonic light flew in from the east and soon landed on one of the open spaces outside the Ancient Road to Immortality.

After the demonic light dissipated, the figures of a group of Demonic Cultivators were revealed.

They emitted Demonic Fiend Qi, Nether Cold Qi, Deathly Stillness Qi... and various other powerful types of Devilish Qi, causing the area outside the Ancient Road to Immortality to instantly be filled with soaring demonic energy.

From this, it could be seen that they were powerful Demonic Cultivators from the Five Great Demonic Sects of the Eastern Domain.

As for the leading Demonic Cultivator, he was a fierce-looking Middle-aged Man in Black Robes; he was none other than the Sky Demon Daoist.

Sky Demon Daoist stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the Cultivators of the various major factions nearby, a flash of disdain crossing his face.

Seeing this, many Holy Land experts were instantly enraged and shouted at Sky Demon Daoist:

"Hmph! Demonic Cultivators dare to come to our Central Domain's territory! You truly are tired of living!"

"Pah... mere Demonic Cultivators, do not be so arrogant! Leave quickly! Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"

"Have you Demonic Cultivators forgotten what happened last time? You were beaten to a pulp by us and then fled back to the Eastern Domain in disgrace!"

"The Ancient Road to Immortality appeared in the Central Domain! It is an Opportunity that belongs to us Righteous Path Cultivators of the Central Domain! You Demonic Cultivators, get back to the Eastern Domain!"

"That's right! Get back to the Eastern Domain!"

"The Central Domain does not welcome you!"

...

Hearing this, Sky Demon Daoist's expression turned gloomy as he let out a cold snort. "The Ancient Road to Immortality is an Opportunity that belongs to all Cultivators of the Haomiao Realm. Since when did it become exclusive to you Righteous Path Cultivators?"

"As expected, you Righteous Path Cultivators are all sanctimonious hypocrites, lying through your teeth!"

"Sky Demon Daoist, you're looking for death! You dared to attack our Dao Yi Holy Land last time. Since we've run into you this time, we'll settle both the old and new scores together!"

Two Dao Yi Holy Land Grand Elders directly took action, fiercely attacking the Sky Demon Daoist.

Last time, Dao Yi Holy Land had been ambushed by the allied forces of the Five Great Demonic Sects.

After fighting with Sky Demon Daoist, they had gained a blessing in disguise, and their cultivation had improved quite a bit.

One of the Dao Yi Grand Elders had even advanced by a minor Realm.

So now, facing Sky Demon Daoist, they weren't afraid at all and chose to confront him head-on! They were determined to avenge the previous attack.

"Just this? Too weak!"

"Sky Demon Fiendish Light!"

Seeing this, Sky Demon Daoist reached out and gave a sudden wave.

In an instant, the Heavenly Demon Domain unfolded, turning the surroundings into a Sky Demon Hell, while a series of Sky Demon Sounds that seemed capable of causing Qi Deviation constantly rang out.

Endless Sky Demon Fiendish Light was released from the Heavenly Demon Domain, carrying an aura that could destroy heaven and earth, instantly dispersing the Spells jointly released by the two Dao Yi Grand Elders.

The remaining Sky Demon Fiendish Light continued to strike toward the two Dao Yi Grand Elders.

"What... you've actually broken through to the Sixth Level of the Mahayana Realm? How is this possible?"

The two Dao Yi Grand Elders instantly widened their eyes, beyond shocked.

While they were momentarily dazed...

The terrifyingly powerful Sky Demon Fiendish Light had already arrived.

So they didn't have time to think much more!

Immediately, the two Dao Yi Grand Elders looked around and shouted urgently:

"Fellow Daoists from other Holy Lands, quick... lend us a hand! Let's join forces to deal with Sky Demon Daoist!"

Hearing this, the Grand Elders of the Yaochi, Tianyang, Tiandan, Taiyin, and Xuanqing Holy Lands all rushed out to confront the incoming Sky Demon Fiendish Light together.

...

On the other side.

Within the ranks of the Taixuan Holy Land.

"Holy Lord... what about us? Should we go and help the Fellow Daoists of the Dao Yi Holy Land?"

One of the Grand Elders walked up to Su Yun, his tone respectful.

Unlike other Holy Lands...

The strongest person in Taixuan Holy Land was not these Grand Elders, but the Holy Lord.

Furthermore, the Holy Lord was currently managing the entire Holy Land.

Therefore, if the Holy Lord didn't speak, it wasn't appropriate for them to take action directly.

"Go! Dao Yi Holy Land has always been on good terms with our Taixuan Holy Land, not to mention we're dealing with Demonic Cultivators! Our Taixuan Holy Land must also do our part!"

Su Yun nodded slightly and waved his hand.

He had originally wanted to take action himself.

But just now, his Revered Master had sensed someone spying.

This indicated that the Jiyuan Palace Immortal might very well be nearby.

Furthermore, the Demonic Cultivators of the Eastern Domain might also have the Jiyuan Palace Immortal behind them.

So, it was better to play it safe for now!

Besides, the Grand Elders of so many Holy Lands joining forces was enough to withstand Sky Demon Daoist!

"Yun'er, Sky Demon Daoist's cultivation has improved in a somewhat unusual way!"

Meng Shuyan's brows furrowed slightly, her expression solemn.

"A year ago, Sky Demon Daoist was only at the Low-Stage Mahayana Realm.

And it is said that he had stayed in the Low-Stage Mahayana Realm for several thousand years.

It's unlikely for him to suddenly break through to the Middle Stage Mahayana or even approach the High-Stage Mahayana Realm!"
