Demonic howls echoed while demonic flames surged endlessly.
Outside the void, boundless demonic energy tore apart the sky before finally condensing into a gigantic demonic palm that covered the heavens as it struck toward the Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Body Liu Bai was currently condensing.
That was right, now was the best opportunity to eliminate this person who could potentially become a great enemy of the Feind Race!
"Everyone, attack together with me!"
The long prepared Lu Tong immediately shouted in a deep voice.
Following his words, the many Heavenly Sovereigns present all attacked simultaneously. Billions of rays of spiritual light instantly erupted forth, mutually eroding against the overwhelming demonic energy in the sky.
Meanwhile, Lu Tong himself threw out a punch. The fist light resembled a meteor tearing across the heavens as it smashed toward the gigantic demonic hand.
"Get back to your Demon Realm!"
Boom!
The demonic palm and giant fist collided like a planet crashing into another planet. The terrifying shockwave directly tore apart the sky and even surged toward Liu Bai's location.
"Not good!"
Lu Tong's expression changed.
The aftershock produced from the full force attack of two Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereigns was even more terrifying than the final strike of the Heavenly Sovereign Tribulation.
"Hahaha, Old Ghost Lu, we shall meet again next time!"
The Demon Emperor who attacked let out arrogant laughter. This time, he had personally made his move and even mobilized numerous Demon Emperors to release their demonic energy as support. Was it not all for this very moment?
Trying to seize Liu Bai from the hands of the many Great Thousand Tower experts was unrealistic. Furthermore, the Great Thousand World side not only possessed the advantage of terrain, but also outnumbered them. Therefore, after discussing among themselves, the demons came up with such a sinister method.
Even if that earlier attack did not strike Liu Bai, it did not matter. As long as Lu Tong forcefully intervened, their objective would already have been achieved.
After realizing the situation, Lu Tong wanted to continue attacking to suppress the aftershock, but the opposing Demon Emperor gave him no opportunity. Two more attacks came consecutively, forcing him to focus entirely on responding.
As for Liu Bai, everything would depend on his own fortune.
The terrifying aftershock continuously shattered space as it rapidly spread toward Liu Bai's direction.
At the next moment, a five colored river suddenly spread across the sky!
Buzz!
Nine dazzling great stars shone brilliantly within the river. The blazing spiritual light instantly swept away all the demonic energy spreading across the sky.
As for the terrifying aftershock, after coming into contact with the five colored river, it was gradually absorbed by the Five Colored Heavenly River Spiritual Water.
"A Spiritual Array?!"
Two shocked cries rang out from the sky.
One was the delighted voice of Lu Tong, while the other naturally belonged to the furious Demon Emperor.
He had never expected his carefully planned attack to completely fail because of someone who had not even truly broken through to Heavenly Sovereign yet. He never imagined there would actually be such a figure within the Scared Ancient Abyss this time. No wonder their demon forces suffered such enormous losses upon entering the abyss!
"Ah, this infuriates me to death!"
The enraged roar echoed throughout heaven and earth, though unfortunately it was useless.
The unwilling demons could only retreat and remember this failure in their hearts while waiting for another opportunity to take revenge in the future.
As for Lu Tong, Red Flame Old Immortal, and the others, they all let out long sighs of relief. Afterwards, when Lu Tong looked toward Liu Bai again, the delight in his eyes became even greater. He never expected that even at such a moment, Liu Bai still possessed such powerful hidden methods. Did this not mean he had already been handling the Heavenly Sovereign Tribulation with ease all along?
"He truly is a terrifying little fellow."
After sighing inwardly, Lu Tong withdrew his hand before staring intently at Liu Bai, who was currently reconstructing his physical body.
The spiritual tribulation had passed, and the demonic tribulation had also been repelled by everyone. Next, Liu Bai successfully condensed his physical body once more, officially becoming one of the many Heavenly Sovereigns present.
Of course, that statement was not entirely accurate, because Liu Bai had not yet truly discovered the unique power belonging to Heavenly Sovereigns. Therefore, his current realm could only be considered among the lowest tier.
However, no one present dared to truly regard him as being among the lowest tier… Just the Grandmaster Spiritual Array that connected the starry heavens earlier was already enough to make over half the Heavenly Sovereigns present feel ashamed of their inferiority.
"Congratulations to Heavenly Sovereign Liu for advancing into the Heavenly Sovereign realm. Truly a joyous occasion worthy of celebration!"
Looking at Liu Bai walking over, the many Heavenly Sovereigns all offered their congratulations with smiling faces.
Yet hearing these words caused Liu Bai to sigh emotionally inwardly. He had finally reached the position of a "Heavenly Sovereign" himself.
"Thank you, everyone. I must also thank all of you for helping resist the interference of the Feind race earlier."
Although whether these people acted or not made little difference to Liu Bai, the proper words still had to be spoken.
However, this favor would not fall upon everyone present. After all, they had only acted according to Lu Tong's request. Therefore, the one Liu Bai truly needed to thank was Lu Tong. Similarly, these people would not expect Liu Bai to repay them for this matter either. If they wanted anything, they would only seek out Lu Tong.
"Many thanks, Supervisor Lu!"
Looking at the powerful old man before him, Liu Bai said with a faint smile.
At this moment, Lu Tong was also extremely pleased. The addition of another powerhouse with the potential to reach the peak was truly a tremendous blessing for the Great Thousand Palace.
"Hahaha, there is no need to say such things. You are the second Demon Slayer King in countless years. Strictly speaking, even I could be considered your subordinate, so these matters naturally fall within my duties."
Liu Bai naturally would not truly regard himself as the "master" of the Great Thousand Palace. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Senior Lu, please do not say such things. I merely succeeded through luck. It would be best not to mention the matter of Demon Slayer King again."
Demon Slayer King was not merely a title. It also represented immense authority, especially for a colossal existence like the Great Thousand Palace. The significance it represented was simply too enormous. Liu Bai was not foolish, so how could he possibly take such a matter seriously?
If he advanced to Saint Grade in the future, then perhaps these words might truly become reality. But at present, Liu Bai simply did not possess such qualifications!
Seeing Liu Bai's reaction, Lu Tong also secretly relaxed slightly.
If Liu Bai had truly displayed arrogance and conceit, then matters would indeed have become troublesome. After all, this was ultimately still a world where strength reigned supreme. If Liu Bai truly possessed such a temperament, then although they would not strip away his status as Demon Slayer King, at the very least the Great Thousand Palace would not invest too many resources into him in the future.
In the end, talent and temperament were both indispensable for truly reaching the supreme realm!
Looking at the calmly smiling young man, after confirming that Liu Bai's words were genuinely sincere, Lu Tong finally said, "Little Friend Liu, the Great Thousand Palace will certainly acknowledge your identity as Demon Slayer King. However, considering your current strength, there are indeed many authorities that cannot be granted to you."
Naturally, without authority, Liu Bai would not need to shoulder the obligations belonging to a Demon Slayer King either. This was relative. Although Lu Tong did not say it explicitly, Liu Bai and everyone present understood it clearly.
Unlike Mu Chen in the original story, Liu Bai had broken through to Heavenly Sovereign at precisely this moment, which gave his status a tremendous difference. Although he could not truly become a Demon Slayer King yet, as long as the Great Thousand Palace acknowledged his identity, then from now onward Liu Bai would possess a status comparable to the leader of a superpower within the Great Thousand World. Anyone who met him would need to show him some respect, otherwise it would be regarded as disrespect toward the Great Thousand Palace!
"Come, let us first return to the Great Thousand Tower and complete your identity verification before discussing anything else."
At this point, even Lu Tong himself felt a trace of impatience arising within his heart.
After returning to the Great Thousand Tower, many people had already returned from the Scared Ancient Abyss, and news regarding the Four Saint Towers and everything that happened within them had also begun spreading everywhere.
The matter of Liu Bai cooperating with the Spear Ancestor's will to completely annihilate a Demon Emperor was likewise revealed, immediately causing an enormous uproar. After all, every time one of the Four Ancestors' wills successfully defeated their opponent, it meant that one supreme inheritance would emerge into the world.
Since Liu Bai had successfully helped the Spear Ancestor annihilate the remnant soul of a Demon Emperor, it also meant that the inheritance of the Saint Grade expert, Spear Ancestor, had fallen into Liu Bai's hands.
To everyone, this was an immense temptation!
Unfortunately, after seeing that Liu Bai had returned together with a large group of Heavenly Sovereigns and had already broken through into the Heavenly Sovereign realm, countless people secretly felt disappointed.
"Little Friend Liu, take out your Demon Slayer Token…" Lu Tong said with a slight smile.
Liu Bai took out his Demon Slayer Token.
A streak of golden light rose from within the Great Thousand Tower, causing all eyes to gather upon that dazzling golden token. At the end of the token, three dark red words shook everyone's minds.
Demon Slayer King!
Within the Great Thousand Tower, all the Demon Slayers stared at the token with blazing eyes. Their expressions were so covetous that they almost seemed ready to drool, because they all clearly understood what the title of Demon Slayer King symbolized within the Great Thousand Palace.
Lu Tong accepted the Demon Slayer Token before injecting a strand of spiritual energy into it.
The golden token immediately emitted a ray of spiritual light that shot directly toward the enormous Demon Slayer Ranking monument.
At the next moment, the Demon Slayer Ranking trembled, and a terrifying pressure descended onto the golden Demon Slayer Token.
Liu Bai slightly raised his brows. Although the appearance of the Demon Slayer Token had not changed and still remained dazzlingly golden, it now emitted an indescribable aura that even caused Heavenly Sovereign experts to feel waves of pressure.
"The power of this Demon Slayer Token probably does not worse than a Peerless Saint Artifact now, right?"
Liu Bai secretly thought inwardly.
Though this "Peerless Saint Artifact" did not possess any special abilities.
Meanwhile, Mu Chen and his group, who had returned from the Scared Ancient Abyss, finally arrived back at Saint Abyss City.
However, after entering the city, the group quickly noticed that the atmosphere was strange. Many people were repeatedly looking toward a certain direction.
Thus, Mu Chen and the others also curiously raised their heads and followed the crowd's gaze, only to discover it was the Demon Slayer Monument standing at the center of the city. Their gazes moved upward, and when they reached the very top, everyone's footsteps abruptly halted as expressions of shock appeared on their faces.
"What is that?" Long Xiang rubbed his eyes. He seemed to have just seen two names carrying the title of Demon Slayer King appear at the top.
"That name is it the name I'm thinking of?" Luo Li also seemed unable to maintain her usual calm expression as she spoke.
The equally shocked Mu Chen could only smile bitterly and say, "If it were anyone else, I might still doubt it somewhat, but if it's Senior…"
Although Mu Chen and the others did not know what had happened on Spear Ancestor's level, nor what benefits Liu Bai had obtained, the fact that none of the Four Saint Towers had been destroyed meant they had all successfully defended them.
But what exactly was this matter of Demon Slayer King? If he remembered correctly, becoming a Demon Slayer King required killing a Demon Emperor!
Could it be that Senior had actually joined forces with the Spear Ancestor to completely annihilate the sealed Demon Emperor on that level?
"At that time, we merely managed to protect the seal from being broken by barely borrowing the power of Ancestor's will…"
Mu Chen felt somewhat bitter inwardly.
Back then, he had obtained the complete inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor, and this time he had also acquired the inheritance of the Eight Buddha from the Buddha Ancestor. Originally, Mu Chen thought he would be able to narrow the gap between himself and Liu Bai.
Unexpectedly, it turned out he had simply been overthinking things.
"Does this count as the weakest Demon Slayer King in the history of the Great Thousand Palace?" Among the group, a heroic looking woman teased with a smile.
The one speaking was naturally Wen Qingxuan, who had traveled together with them.
Hearing this, Mu Chen looked at her speechlessly and said, "There has only ever been one Demon Slayer King in the entire history of the Great Thousand Palace…"
"That still depends on whether the Great Thousand Palace truly acknowledges him." Luo Li softly said.
"Let us go take a look and we will know."
As he spoke, Mu Chen took the lead in heading toward the Great Thousand Tower.
The Great Thousand Tower was still bustling with activity and appeared especially noisy. However, vaguely, Mu Chen and the others could hear that most of the discussions revolved around the newly promoted "Demon Slayer King."
This was unsurprising, because the impact caused by this matter was no less significant than the Four Saint Towers themselves.
However, what attracted their attention even more was that the Great Thousand Palace had truly acknowledged the identity of this second Demon Slayer King.
"Senior has actually already broken through to Heavenly Sovereign?"
Hearing this news suddenly shocked Mu Chen greatly.
Although he knew Liu Bai originally already possessed combat power comparable to a Heavenly Sovereign, that power mostly came from his abilities as a Spiritual Array Ancestor rather than his actual cultivation realm!
The current Mu Chen was no longer some inexperienced youth. Whether from the Heavenly Emperor or the Buddha Ancestor earlier, both had explained to him just how difficult advancing into the Heavenly Sovereign realm truly was.
Back then, his fortuitous encounter with the White Dragon Sovereign on the Northern Heavens Continent had merely granted him an opportunity, and nothing more.
As for seizing that opportunity, he would likely still need enough time to continuously strengthen himself before he could accomplish it. At the very least, with his current newly advanced Greater Earth Sovereign cultivation, it was completely impossible.
"Why does it feel as though all these so called difficulties and bottlenecks become utterly insignificant before Senior?"
Mu Chen could not understand it. Could everything he had heard previously have been wrong?
At this moment, he even began doubting life itself.
However, before he could recover from his thoughts, a figure had already appeared beside the group. Then an excited and urgent voice rang out.
"You have finally returned!"
"How was it? Did you succeed?"
