179: A celestial being intervened and left the battlefield.

"That is... a Demon God!?"

Nian Xuan's expression drastically changed. Why would there be a Demon God here?

This is bad. The Immortal Spirit isn't here, nor are the Immortals. How can the few of them fight a Demon God?

Feeling the unique oppressive might of the Demon God, the Elders beside them also had drastic changes in expression.

"Oh? Look what I see. Little snacks delivered right to my door!"

The Demon God was also very surprised to see Ye Ming and the others. How long had the news been out for the Human Race to dare run here to save someone?

It had been staking out this place for over a decade and hadn't eaten a small snack in a long time. Since these snacks voluntarily delivered themselves, it wouldn't stand on ceremony!

It decided to eat the Human Race cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage Middle Stage first. Among the ten people, he smelled the most fragrant—a scent it had never smelled since its birth.

Too fragrant! Eat him, devour him alive, bite by bite!

The Demon God looked at Ye Ming, extending its long, crimson, pointed tongue to lick around the corner of its mouth. "Heh heh, little delicacy, I've decided to eat you first!"

Before its voice faded, the Demon God instantly vanished from its spot.

A streak of red light shot toward Ye Ming at an extremely fast speed, so fast that Nian Xuan and the others couldn't react at all.

Just as they were startled, Ye Ming's true body reacted, directly brandishing the transparent longsword in his hand that others couldn't see.

With a sound of "Clang."

The longsword seemed to have struck a piece of metal, emitting a jarring collision sound.

"An Immortal Artifact?"

The Demon God's figure appeared not far away, its crimson eyes staring intently at the translucent longsword that had suddenly appeared in Ye Ming's hand.

On the other side.

After Ye Ming repelled the Demon God, Nian Xuan and the others finally reacted and quickly walked over to Ye Ming's side.

However, Ye Ming inexplicably spat out a mouthful of blood, and the hidden sword in his hand nearly slipped.

"Daozi, are you alright!" Nian Xuan quickly asked, taking out a bottle of healing pills.

Ye Ming waved his hand. "I'm fine, just a minor internal injury!"

This mouthful of blood was spat out intentionally by him. After all, it was impossible for him, a Heavenly Venerate, to be completely unharmed after repelling a Demon God.

Just then, the Demon God spoke again.

"Wait, this sword of yours is slightly inferior to an Immortal Artifact. It must be a quasi-immortal artifact!"

After speaking, it looked at its left hand, only to see that the dense black scales on the back of its hand had been sliced open.

Furthermore, jet-black blood continuously flowed from the wound, dripping onto the ground with a sizzling sound.

In an instant, many bizarre blood flowers grew on the ground and began spreading outward.

This sight sent chills down the spines of the Elders.

"Hehehe..."

The Demon God hadn't expected a mere quasi-immortal artifact to be able to injure it, and it suddenly laughed.

The Demon God's laugh was terrifying; its entire face suddenly split open, revealing dense, sharp teeth, which was extremely frightening.

"Be careful!"

Nian Xuan only had time to gasp in alarm.

Ye Ming looked up, only to see that the Demon God had appeared above his head at some unknown point, and a massive face full of sharp teeth was biting down towards him.

Just as Nian Xuan and the others watched in horror as the Demon God was about to bite Ye Ming.

At the critical moment.

A black and white beam of light appeared out of thin air, instantly piercing through the Demon God's body.

The Demon God paused; the crimson light in its eyes instantly dimmed, and then its entire body fell toward Ye Ming.

Ye Ming took advantage of the momentary gap, flashed his figure, and dodged the falling corpse.

At the same time, a voice appeared above Nian Xuan and the others.

"Heh heh, I made it just in time!"

Nian Xuan and the others didn't have time to be shocked and immediately looked up.

They saw a figure slowly descending in mid-air. The figure was enveloped by boundless Immortal Light, making it impossible to see what they looked like, only a rough outline.

Nian Xuan was the first to react. He respectfully cupped his hands toward the figure and then asked:

"May I ask, Immortal, who are you..."

"Me? I am an old friend of this little fellow's Master!" The figure spoke lightly, turning to look at Ye Ming who was walking over.

Nian Xuan and the others suddenly understood that Ye Ming's Master had an old friend, and they became even more respectful.

Ye Ming came before the figure, cupped his hands, and said, "Greetings, Junior Martial Uncle!"

After saying this, Ye Ming felt extremely strange inside. Who would understand how awkward it was to direct and act in his own play!

"Mhm, where is your Master? Why is he nowhere in sight?" The figure nodded slightly, looked around, and asked.

Just as Nian Xuan was about to speak, a voice rang out from behind them.

"Tian Yan, why are you here?"

Ye Ming's "Master" walked out of the Immortal Formation with a look of surprise. Behind him, besides the Small Pagoda, was a woman being supported by a cluster of Immortal Light.

Tian Yan turned his head and smiled lightly. "Heh heh, if I hadn't come, you probably wouldn't forgive yourself for the rest of your life!"

Hearing him say this, Ye Ming's "Master" frowned, and then he saw the Demon God's corpse not far away.

"What happened here?"

Ye Ming's "Master" looked at Ye Ming and asked.

Before Ye Ming could speak, Nian Xuan quickly stepped forward to explain.

"It was like this, just now..."

After Nian Xuan finished recounting the events, Ye Ming's "Master's" expression darkened.

The wind began to rise.

A strong wind appeared out of nowhere, the sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and countless world-shaking thunderbolts descended from the clouds. The deafening thunder sounded like ancient Vicious Beasts roaring.

Terrifying Law power surged up from Ye Ming's "Master," filling the entire desert with an indescribable sense of oppression.

Seeing this, Tian Yan quickly used Immortal Light to envelop everyone present, including the Small Pagoda, otherwise they would be affected by that oppressive force.

That oppressive force was an invisible power that even a Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivator couldn't withstand for a second without exploding and dying.

Then, under everyone's gaze, Ye Ming's "Master," with a grim face, raised his hand toward the Demon God's corpse.

He saw his palm clench in the Void Realm toward the corpse; the corpse was instantly twisted into a knot, and with another heavy press of his hand, the corpse was directly annihilated into dust.

"Is the matter settled? We should leave now!"

Tian Yan glanced at the horizon; something there had awakened.

The moment Tian Yan spoke, the world instantly returned to normal, and the terrifying Law power receded.

"Let's go!"

Ye Ming's "Master" spoke indifferently, then turned and left, seemingly still blaming himself for his carelessness.

"Hurry and follow. This place has already attracted the attention of certain existences!" Tian Yan beckoned to Ye Ming and the others.

Nian Xuan and the others didn't even have time to glance at the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden's condition before quickly following Tian Yan's pace.

A quarter of an hour after they left.

A spatial rift tens of thousands of feet wide suddenly appeared above the desert.

Within the rift, a massive red eye slowly opened, and an indescribable aura instantly spread throughout the entire desert.

The living creatures within were all instantly crushed to death by the sudden aura.

The gigantic eye began to move, scanning everywhere. Only after scanning the entire desert and finding nothing did the gigantic eye slowly close its lid.

And the desert subsequently returned to silence, a deathly stillness... Meanwhile, on the other side.

Under the guidance of the two Immortals, Ye Ming and the others safely departed from the Immortal-Demon Battlefield.
