“Fire Spirit Star Lord, are you alright?”
At that moment, Ling Xi noticed that the Fire Spirit Star Lord’s expression was off, so she asked with concern.
The Fire Spirit Star Lord shook his head, his face full of gravity. “I am fine, just a bit drained.”
He paused for a moment, then continued, “However, the Departing Fire Demon Lord has fled with the Soul Devouring Venerable, and they are surely heading back to the Ninth Heaven. I fear the Ninth Heaven will not know peace from now on.”
Everyone who heard this grew even more grave in their expressions.
They dared not imagine what would happen if those two seized control of the Ninth Heaven; they would surely come seeking revenge.
“Then… then what should we do now?” Zi Yuan asked worriedly.
The Fire Spirit Star Lord took a deep breath and said, “The most important thing now is to recover our strength as quickly as possible. I also need to contact some of those old fellows from before, to see if they can lend a hand!”
“You must not venture to the Ninth Heaven lightly without absolute power…”
Everyone nodded. With their current strength, no one except Ling Xi could even go to the Ninth Heaven.
“Alright, I must return as soon as possible too. This battle will likely take ten or eight years to recover from…”
With that, the Fire Spirit Star Lord transformed into a streak of flame and vanished in an instant!
“We should go as well…”
Ling Xi said!
Everyone nodded and followed Ling Xi as they walked towards the distance.
They had only just left the valley when they were stunned by the scene before them.
The area for thousands of li around had become a desolate wasteland of utter silence.
The earth was split by countless bottomless chasms, mountains had collapsed, rivers had dried up, and the air was filled with the stench of scorched earth.
Even more shocking was the faint dark red and golden glow still lingering in the sky!
These lights drifted slowly across the heavens like ribbons.
“This… this is the power of an ancient mighty one’s battle?” Wu Hao said in shock, his voice trembling.
Ling Yue’s face was pale as well. “Too… too terrifying! Just the aftermath alone is enough to destroy everything!”
Hu Mazi shook his head, his face full of gravity. “If… if we had not had the Dragon Pattern Bell’s protection earlier, we would probably have been vaporised by this terrifying energy surge long ago!”
Zi Yuan gazed at the ruins before her, her eyes brimming with fear. “This place… this place is simply hell!”
Ling Xi looked at the scene, her eyes full of worry. “If… if more Demon Lords truly descend upon the Sixth Heaven, the entire Sixth Heaven will probably end up like this!”
The group returned to the Divine Capital. Though the Divine Capital had also endured a great battle and was battered and ruined, it fared far better than other places.
This time, most of the Divine Kingdom’s cultivators had perished, and they would need time to recuperate properly.
“I must return to the Eighth Heaven as well. The upheaval in the Ninth Heaven will surely affect the Divine King’s Palace.”
Once back in the Divine Capital, Ling Xi said!
“Fourth Hall Master, thank you for your aid in saving us. My Divine Kingdom will never forget it!”
Wu Hao said to Ling Xi!
Ling Xi said nothing, but turned to Chen Ping with a grave expression. “You must be careful from now on. The Third Hall Master is set on dealing with you, and as for the treasures on you, do not show them off casually in future, or you may invite fatal disaster.”
“Thank you for the reminder, Fourth Hall Master…” Chen Ping nodded!
“And the Evil Path Hall, they…”
Ling Xi had just begun to speak when Chen Ping suddenly started in alarm, then asked, “Has anyone seen that Elder Blood Wuying from the Evil Path Hall?”
Everyone shook their heads. In the chaos just now, no one had paid attention.
Chen Ping frowned, knowing that if Blood Wuying had escaped, he would be in even greater danger, for that fellow knew about the many treasures he possessed.
“You should provoke organisations like the Evil Path Hall less in future. The Evil Path Hall has influence everywhere, and now they have even extended their tentacles into our Divine Hall.”
“The Divine King is already agonising over this matter. With your current strength, you are no match for the Evil Path Hall at all.”
Ling Xi cautioned Chen Ping.
