Chapter 722: Great Slaughter

The unbeatable elders all possessed power close to the Royal Path.

The foundations of the demon and monster clans were beyond estimation; had they accumulated their experience over millions of years or even hundreds of millions?

No, based on Yun Ye’s calculations, the history of the demons and monsters far exceeded one billion years!

Further analysis was possible, but it was unnecessary.

For humanity, a million years was already an unprecedentedly long time, let alone tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even billions of years?

With such a long stretch of time, even if the True Immortals had destroyed worlds multiple times, many forbidden grounds still remained unharmed, hiding vast numbers of formidable supreme demons, which posed great concern. The threat from these supreme demons was far greater than that from the numerous Divine Lords of the outer heavens.

Moreover, because the True Immortals had used their power to sever history and erase traces of the past, although Yun Ye and Shui Wuge could ascertain the long history of the demons and monsters, they could not truly glimpse the scenes of the past. Naturally, they were unaware of who possessed the threat and what kind of power they held.

This uncertainty caused Shui Wuge to refrain from acting recklessly. The fact that the True Immortals had not annihilated these forbidden grounds must have been for a reason. The existence of these places until now indicated that they were either remarkably fortunate or possessed some power to resist the True Immortals.

For instance, the Still Sea from the past could block the True Immortals’ probing, seemingly a remnant of some deity’s failed attempt at Becoming a God.

If one recklessly intruded and encountered troublesome lingering powers, even the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven could suppress them, but it would consume a considerable amount of energy, hastening the onset of decline. This was not in line with Shui Wuge’s own expectations; she wanted to wait for Yun Ye to return and grow into the next Divine Monarch. This was undoubtedly a safer choice.

“Divine Empress, you could strike now; Qing Liu Sheng still has a chance of survival. Will you not make a move?”

The purple-haired unbeatable elder spoke.

They intentionally shattered the cave but did not completely destroy it, hoping the Divine Empress would expend her great magical power to restore and rebuild its foundation.

For someone at the level of the Divine Empress, this was feasible, but it would consume immense energy. The cave was too intricate and powerful, posing a heavy burden on her, potentially further weakening her.

“Everything has not yet ended; you are only just beginning.”

Shui Wuge gently shook her head.

“What? Could it be that Qing Liu Sheng has some untapped power? Why not use it? We came here prepared to die, with no need for such caution.”

“Going easy could lead to death…”

The purple-haired unbeatable elder chuckled.

The meaning of ‘unbeatable’ differed from that of the Royal Path; it belonged to the strong opponents of the celestial clans and peak demons. As long as the Royal Path was not involved, they felt invulnerable.

Indeed, higher mountains hide even taller peaks; before beings like the Divine Empress or the Divine Phoenix, they did not dare claim invincibility, nor could they assert that they were unbeaten.

But the premise was to face such Supremes; how many had there been throughout history?

Was Qing Liu Sheng one of them?

He had potential, but at this moment in time, he amounted to nothing. Any unbeatable elder could suppress him.

“Is that so?”

A hand suddenly pierced through the purple-haired unbeatable elder’s chest, crushing his heart.

Yun Ye had moved behind him at some point, striking through his chest without him realizing, his power beginning to envelop the Honored Position Entity.

“What have you done?”

The purple-haired unbeatable elder’s body froze. He realized he could not move; the indestructible order body was collapsing from within!

In simple terms, if he did not do something soon, he would die.

This kind of power…

Could this be the possibility that Qing Liu Sheng gained in the twisted world?

It seemed he had been too quick to lose hope.

How could a law realm cultivator, capable of killing the White Dragon Divine Master by his own strength, be so weak? He must be plotting something, deliberately causing the cave to shatter!

“When will this happen?”

The other unbeatable elders were also taken aback, as they had not caught any traces. They all wanted to act, but then realized they couldn’t move!

Their bodies were beginning to show signs of collapse at the source, heading toward self-destruction under the influence of some unknown power!

“Nine Lives Dao Classics — The laws are set!”

Yun Ye supported the Dao Classics in one hand, fully revealing this power.

The Nine Lives Dao Classics represented the power of possibility; any possible outcome could be reached, and he forcibly fixed the future of the stunned unbeatable elders!

“Dao Classics… Blue Sky Dao Classics? No, this isn’t the Physical Law Classics.”

The black-scaled Monster King’s red fiery eyes burned fiercely, but black flames also surged to suppress the power of possibility from the Nine Lives Dao Classics.

The decline of his physical form was halted, and the future of not being able to act was negated, allowing him to gradually recover.

However, this had already consumed precious time. Yun Ye did not stop his actions, ruthlessly tearing out the Honored Position Entity of the purple-haired unbeatable elder, ripping apart his body and devouring him, suppressing him within the Four-Phase Cave Heaven.

The divine stone tried to resist, emanating light, but the purple-haired unbeatable elder had relied on the divine stone to reach the realm of the unbeatable. As the stone was pierced, his fate was already sealed. After casting a deep glance at Yun Ye, he said, “Qing Liu Sheng, will you kneel before the Divine Empress?”

“A wise person knows their own limitations; the current Divine Empress is unbeatable, and you are all far too weak. Besides, we are all enemies in the end, so why not eliminate the threat early?” Yun Ye smiled.

“Your logic is sound.” The purple-haired unbeatable elder nodded, experiencing a rapid decrease in his power. “I hope you can survive and see me again.”

“Holding the Dao Classics, anyone will want you dead, Qing Liu Sheng.”

“I am destined to be invincible under heaven; the Divine Empress and I cooperate precisely because she sees this. This is far from over; my trials have only just begun!”

Yun Ye crushed the Honored Position Entity in his hand, the cave rapidly recovering, its power surging as he absorbed the strength obtained from slaying an unbeatable elder.

An overwhelming amount of energy overflowed, creating successive phenomena that enveloped the Red Heaven, comparable to the fall of a monarch.

The shattered cave could not digest such immense power.

The purple-haired unbeatable elder, made purely of spiritual thought, utilized the Four-Phase Cave Heaven, which had the highest efficiency for material. Much of the illusory spiritual thought was about to disperse.

However, this was not a problem. He sought to open not just the Four-Phase Cave Heaven but the inner universe of Yin and Yang. The Yin side was already gathered.

Next up was the Yang side.

Most of the unbeatable elders here were demons.

Life energy was abundant!

“Roar!”

“Annihilate the divine light!”

The figure, towering at a hundred meters, broke free from the restraints of the Nine Lives Dao Classics and once more unleashed a flood of white radiant light, this time shooting out thousands of beams, using all its power to directly erase Yun Ye.

It had not seen through Yun Ye’s sudden method of killing an unbeatable elder, but holding the Dao Classics, it could open heaven and earth. Was this a fusion of the Heavenly Emperor and the Water Emperor?

If such a being grew in power, even the Supremes would find it frightening and must die!

“Future Spirit Law — Illuminate the Future!”

Within Yun Ye’s heart, the Countless Dao Classics flipped, enhancing the Future Spirit Law, ultimately elevating its force. A terrifying figure suddenly descended, unleashing a torrent of divine light to annihilate everything.

The towering unbeatable elder was shocked. Vast demonic power gathered, transforming into a blazing white spear that aimed to block the descending figure.

But it was useless. The figure simply made a light gesture, effortlessly destroying everything. The spear, condensed from divine light, turned to ash and vanished.

The unbeatable elder, filled with unimaginable vitality, was grabbed like a chick. With one grasp, all past and future were severed, collapsing into purest life energy and flowing into the cave, refining Yun Ye’s body.

“How could this happen? The Dao Classics, Qing Liu Sheng has actually obtained the Dao Classics!”

“This kind of constraint on our power of possibility, could it be the legendary Nine Lives True Immortal’s Dao Classics? Is this the lost Dao Classics from history, and has it ended up in the outer heavens, now obtained by Qing Liu Sheng?”

The seven unbeatable elders were utterly astounded.
