Chapter 721: The Nine Unbeatable Elders, the Cave Heaven Shatters!

Weak cultivators often need to cooperate to ensure efficiency.

But what about the top-tier cultivators?

They are the decision-makers of order and the greatest owners of resources. To become a top-tier cultivator, one must push another top-tier cultivator aside.

The honored position marks the boundary for top-tier cultivators; from this stage onward, it becomes a stage of incompatible competition.

Why has no one wished to cultivate in the Heavenly Stem Cave since the Divine Monarch?

The reason is simple.

The Heavenly Stem Cave consumes too many resources, making it nearly impossible to succeed.

The Divine Monarch possessed the Red Heaven True Immortal Law. With the support of Red Heaven power, the Cave Heaven’s growth speed far exceeded that of a normal Divine Master, yet even so, he took ten thousand years to reach the peak of the Royal Path realm, which is on a completely different level of difficulty compared to other cave techniques.

In modern times, where would countless secret realms and Red Heaven authority come from for the Divine Master of the Heavenly Stem to consume?

Even if he could invade the multiverse, ten thousand years would not be enough.

In the multiverse era, there are far too many Masters of the Cave Heaven. Resources are divided, making it impossible for any monarch to dominate as in the Red Heaven realm, absorbing everything.

For those seeking immortality, if they cannot reach the Royal Path realm, they cannot use Dao artifacts to make wishes; no matter how powerful they are, it is all a waste of life.

Therefore, even if the Four Elements Cave Heaven’s power is inferior, it remains the perfect superior alternative to the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven.

“This is Qing Liu Sheng’s battle now…”

“But can he really contend against nine unbeatable elders all by himself?”

The two Dao Artifact wielders released their super-limited state, quietly stepping behind Shui Wuge, beginning to calm the soul-shattering effects of their unleashed powers.

They continued to observe the battlefield; now, only those of their level could watch this fight.

Even the broadcast contained powers that could kill mortals; even if the Divine Empress protected the world, there was no need to increase risks unnecessarily.

They remained hesitant; had Qing Liu Sheng truly just opened Heaven and Earth? Did he have the capability to battle so many unbeatable elders?

Moreover, he appeared utterly confident?

They hoped he was not overly arrogant.

Otherwise, if he deceived the Divine Empress, they would surely have to reckon with that guilt.

“Although I expected this to be a trap, I didn’t think it would take this form. Well, at this point, there’s no use in being surprised. The only thing that can be done now is one thing.”

An unbeatable elder with long purple hair smiled, looking quite carefree.

His figure was ambiguous, not revealing his identity, but the divine stone floating above him indicated he came from the Celestial Court of Destiny.

This divine stone emanated waves of energy, enveloping him and blocking all probing, its power coming from vast amounts of spiritual thought.

It was a fantasy artifact!

“Kill!!!”

One of the unbeatable elders revealed his form with a roar, igniting the prologue to a fierce battle as the astonishing aura belonging to the Monster King shattered the realm.

He came from the demon Forbidden Land, his body encased in pitch-black scales. His massive frame resembled a pillar holding up the sky, with thorn-like scales jutting backward from his sides. He resembled a creature of angelic appearance, but his body was entirely rigid, lacking movable joints, more like a twisted cross with protruding sides.

His eyes shone with two glaring red flames, but he had no mouth; he could only produce sound through his physical form.

As soon as its words of killing emerged, five unbeatable elders joined it in the fight.

They initially came to assist Qing Liu Sheng in testing the Divine Empress.

However, since there was a command, changing the target was no problem.

They would directly eliminate Qing Liu Sheng!

With five mysterious unbeatable elders and a genuine supreme demon in their ranks, this lineup was overly extravagant for testing!

The moment the six struck, a phenomenon filled the sky; the outer universe trembled with overwhelming extreme energy, causing even the battle-hardened Divine Army of Tomorrow to be alarmed.

When had they ever witnessed such a display!

The Celestial Empire had enjoyed peace for too long. There were no supreme demons or Masters of the Cave Heaven recklessly emerging; they had never needed to confront unbeatable elders near the Royal Path. Now, seeing six strike at once… along with three others watching closely, the pressure was unimaginable!

“It’s good that His Majesty suppresses everything. What are nine worth? Even if the true Royal Path cultivator revives and returns, they will still be suppressed by the Divine Empress!”

Someone whispered, filled with confidence.

In contrast to the aura they sensed, Yun Ye faced five unbeatable elders close to the realm of the Royal Path, along with a genuine unknown supreme demon. That power was overwhelming. Even if he were a quasi-Monarch who had opened Heaven and Earth, it would only reflect his physical realm; his spiritual law cultivation remained stagnant at the law realms, and he could not be compared with Tiankai, the king of the Manifest Realm.

Furthermore, at the Mystic Realm stage, the Four Elements Cave Heaven was significantly weaker than the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven. The Heavenly Stem Cave, blending the Ten Heavenly Arts, actually combined twenty attributes, while each element in the Four Elements Cave was a fusion of two powers, essentially summing up to eight attributes.

In initial opening Heaven and Earth, a focus on the number of fusions mattered greatly. The Heavenly Stem Cave could open up to the peak level of the honored position—quasi-Monarch.

However, the Four Elements Cave could achieve at most the Major Achievement Honored Being, incapable of rivaling the Perfected Honored Being, not to mention being just one step away from becoming a quasi-Monarch.

Yet, Yun Ye possessed the embryonic form of the Yin and Yang Sacred Body of the Four Elements, truly a tremendous foundation. With Shui Wuge secretly assisting and utilizing the highest-level divine materials as the cave’s cornerstone, he bypassed the initial accumulation stages. Otherwise, with the absolute disparity in power, he could not possibly suppress two Dao Artifact wielders.

“Extinguish the divine light!”

One of the unbeatable elders towered at a height of a hundred meters, not of the human race. It opened its mouth and released a white floating light that pierced straight through the cave’s barrier and hurled into the depths.

Boom!

The giant star was nearly penetrated, cracking continuously as lava overflowed. Yun Ye was also affected, a trickle of blood emerging from the corner of his mouth. “Divine light?”

How strange; it seemed today he would witness many unfamiliar powers, as the system of demons was entirely different from the human race.

Though it pertained to Physical Law, there existed beings similar to the Absolute Emperor—born of the heavens and the earth; spiritual law replicated such beings with great difficulty.

He had no time to wipe away the blood before the attack from the second unbeatable elder arrived.

“End of the path!”

This was a dragon-type demon, and the azure flames it exhaled directly burned through the Power of Opening Heaven, entering the cave without obstruction and causing vast destruction.

Yun Ye’s heart sank; he recognized the azure flames. Was this the descendant of the soaring dragon from Tengzhou?

The entire sky of Tengzhou transformed into a forbidden land because of that fearsome soaring dragon. It seemed that after today, humanity would gain another fully controlled trial ground; true dragon blood was a treasure in the Red Heaven realm, capable of reviving and transforming those who obtained it!

“Bang…”

The six unbeatable elders launched their attacks consecutively, each just a single strike, and the Four Elements Cave Heaven could no longer withstand it.

The cave shattered completely, its interior turning into chaos, already irreparably damaged.

This was not a false world line; Yun Ye indeed could not contend against the supreme demon with the cave.

“Is it really that weak? Ultimately, it is just an immature genius, hardly worth mentioning.”

The purple-haired unbeatable elder shook his head in disappointment as he looked at Shui Wuge. “Divine Empress, if we stop now, he might survive. Will you not make a move?”

His goal was still to see through the reality behind the Divine Empress, wearing down her strength for the three leaders of the Divine Court. Qing Liu Sheng was too young and could not go against the heavens yet.

“Divine Empress, I have made such grand efforts; seeing only a child of the human race who has opened Heaven and Earth is not enough. What other tricks do you have? Show them!”

The black-scaled supreme demon spoke, its dark flames swirling as it seemed eager for the Divine Empress to make her arrangements.

Within the Red Heaven realm, Tiankai watched the battle unfold. Facing the black-scaled supreme demon, she hesitated at first, then became confused, and finally displayed a look of shock, murmuring, “The incarnation of the Divine Phoenix, its consciousness truly revives, it is about to emerge…”

Though her blood originated from the Divine Phoenix, she had never seen the entity itself; she found it hard to determine whether the blood was a remnant chosen based on past purposes or if the Divine Phoenix’s true self had awakened.

At this moment, it could be said to be completely validated!
