The Immortal Trapping Array isolated the void, while the World River Purifying Array cleansed the demonic energy.
That was the response Liu Bai made at the very first moment.
At this time, the others also noticed Qin Tian's abnormal condition. The Undying Lord and the Azure Sword Saint immediately became alert. Boundless spiritual energy surged from their bodies as they suppressed the copper coffin beneath Qin Tian's feet, preventing it from losing control.
"What happened?!"
The two looked toward Liu Bai with puzzled expressions.
Liu Bai shook his head, his gaze still fixed on Qin Tian.
Even he did not know how to explain it to them. He could hardly tell them that a Heart Demon seed planted by a Heart Demon Emperor existed within Qin Tian.
Qin Tian continued resisting the invasion of the Heart Demon power. Then, before everyone's eyes, his hands slowly formed a spiritual seal.
"This is bad! That's the hand seal used to release the Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array!"
The Undying Lord's expression changed drastically. With a raise of his hand, an ocean of spiritual energy surged forth and flooded toward Qin Tian.
Even if it meant killing Qin Tian, he absolutely could not allow the seal to be released!
At the same time, outside the void.
A spatial crack rapidly expanded. Endless demonic energy swept forth as countless Demon shadows poured out like a tide.
Amid the darkness, towering figures resembling Demon gods stepped into the air, while a sinister voice echoed throughout heaven and earth.
"Hehehe, Undying old ghost, are you satisfied with the gift I prepared for you?"
A burst of spiritual light erupted around Qin Tian's body, blocking the Undying Lord's attack.
At this moment, Qin Tian stood at the center of the Array. How could he be so easily attacked?
In fact, forcing an attack upon him might create flaws in the Array, allowing the Demonic Soul of the Heavenly Evil God below to break free directly!
This left the Undying Lord caught in a difficult situation.
It had to be said that the timing chosen by the Feind Demon Clan this time was simply perfect.
Demonic howls reverberated through the heavens as endless demonic energy poured out continuously, transforming the void outside the Northern Desolate Grave into a vast Demon domain.
Outside the void, the demonic energy churned before rapidly gathering into the form of a black robed figure.
Boundless evil energy surged around him like the supreme ruler among Demons. Yet his face carried a compassionate and benevolent expression, as though he pitied all living beings. Most notably, his eyes possessed a strange power. Merely meeting his gaze made it impossible for others to harbor hostility, and even stirred an impulse to worship him.
Clearly, he was the one who had spoken earlier.
"Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor..."
The Undying Lord's expression turned ashen.
The Azure Sword Saint coldly said,"Your Feind Clan truly has some nerve. You dare venture this deeply into the Great Thousand World. Aren't you afraid that the entire Great Thousand World will unite and wipe you out?"
"Heh, wipe us out? With just you people as you are now? You should solve your own internal problems first before speaking of such things."
Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor paid no attention to the threat. Instead, he appeared to be enjoying the spectacle.
Beside him, numerous Feind Clan experts stood ready. The moment the Array barrier surrounding the Northern Desolate Grave was broken, they would immediately charge in and rescue their God.
At this moment, Liu Bai stepped forward from the crowd and looked directly at Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor.
"What method did you use to affect a Saint Grade Late Phase Heavenly Sovereign?"
The current situation was unfavorable for the Great Thousand World. He needed to buy some time.
"Heh, you're Liu Bai, the second Demon Slaying King of the Great Thousand Palace, aren't you? I know who you are. You're the one who wiped out the Evil Spirit Clan and ruined a scheme I had prepared for a thousand years!"
The moment Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor looked at Liu Bai, the compassionate look in his eyes vanished, replaced by a pair of dark and evil Demon pupils.
"Heh, who told your luck to be so bad? I just happened to discover the existence of the Evil Spirit Clan."
Liu Bai smiled faintly.
"Luck... Hmph!"
Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor was no fool. Naturally, he did not believe such an explanation.
Moreover, the spatial node leading to the Evil Spirit Plane was located deep within the Demon Realm. He absolutely did not believe Liu Bai had stumbled into it by accident.
The number of people who knew about that place was already extremely small, and all of them were clan leaders of major clans, pillars of the Feind Clan. There was no way such information could have leaked.
"Do you want to know what happened to Qin Tian? I can tell you. But in exchange, I want to know how you learned about the existence of the Evil Spirit Plane!"
Liu Bai raised an eyebrow.
"You first."
Anger flashed through Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's heart. With a wave of his sleeve, a stream of demonic energy surged forth and condensed into a Demon shadow beside him.
After appearing, the shadow fixed its pale and sinister eyes upon the experts of the Great Thousand World, wearing a smile that was not quite a smile.
"How is this possible?! He's still alive?!"
Qin Tian's twisted face filled with shock.
The figure before him was none other than a Heavenly Demon Emperor he had personally slain after accidentally entering the Demon Realm long ago.
It was precisely because of that achievement that he had become the first Demon Slaying King of the Great Thousand Palace.
"It seems you've recognized him."
Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor smiled faintly.
"The Heavenly Demon Emperors of our Saint Clan are not so easy to kill."
[T/N: Feind Race Is also known as Saint Clan in the World of Dragon Prince Yuan]
"I think they're pretty easy to kill."
With a single sentence, Liu Bai completely choked off what Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor had intended to say next.
A cold gaze swept toward Liu Bai.
Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor had completely lost interest in wasting words with them.
"Heart Demon, it seems your abilities have declined."
Heart Demon's face darkened. He knew Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor was angry.
Immediately, he formed seals with both hands. Countless black rays suddenly shot out from his body.
The rays pierced directly into the void, connecting to some unknown location.
The instant they entered the void, Qin Tian's body shook violently.
Moments ago, he had still been barely suppressing the Heart Demon power. Now, he could no longer hold it back.
"Kill me!"
Qin Tian's face twisted in agony, yet he was unable to stop the movements of his hands.
The expressions of both the Undying Lord and the Azure Sword Saint turned grim.
However, they did not hesitate in their actions.
"Wait!"
At the critical moment, Liu Bai stepped in to stop them.
There was no way he could simply stand by and watch Qin Tian be killed.
Moreover, Qin Tian occupied the Array core. If he died, it was very likely to cause irreversible consequences.
However, at the very instant Liu Bai spoke, Qin Tian's body suddenly shook again. A magnificent and mysterious flame slowly ignited within his body.
The flame rose and enveloped Qin Tian's entire body.
The flame was extraordinarily mystical. Everyone could clearly see that as it wrapped around Qin Tian, strange black threads hidden within the void seemed to shatter one after another.
At the same time, the Heart Demon Clan Chief's body suddenly trembled. He abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his expression became incomparably gloomy.
At that instant, he felt that the Heart Demon Seed planted within Qin Tian had been completely burned away.
This sudden turn of events caused even the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's expression to change slightly. He stared fixedly at the mysterious flame emerging from Qin Tian's body. His eyes became dark and furious as he spoke in a chilling voice, each word pronounced distinctly.
"Emperor Flame? That damned Flame Emperor has ruined our clan's great plan!"
Compared to the enraged Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor, Liu Bai and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he knew from the original story that Qin Tian would be safe with Xiao Yan's secret assistance, when the moment truly arrived, Liu Bai could not help but worry.
"Continue operating the Array! With the Array protecting us, they cannot get in!"
Boom!
As the Heavenly Sovereigns poured in their Spiritual Energy, all the bronze coffins across the land shook violently. Immediately afterward, pillars of light containing boundless Spiritual Energy shot into the sky and directly entered the Great Thousand Demon Subduing Array.
Buzz! Buzz!
As the Spiritual Energy pillars entered it, the Great Thousand Demon Subduing Array immediately burst forth with endless radiance. The mighty power that had begun to fade rapidly became vigorous once more.
Mysterious light gathered at the center of the Array. Before the horrified eyes of the Demon clans, it gradually condensed into a mottled ancient spear.
That spear was wrapped in an extremely primordial power, as though it were a mysterious force born when the world itself first came into existence.
Whoosh!
The Great Thousand Demon Subduing Array trembled slightly.
The next moment, the mottled ancient spear transformed into a streak of light and descended from the heavens, shooting directly into the earth below.
Chi!
The ancient spear vanished into the ground.
However, at the instant it disappeared, everyone heard a painful and furious demonic roar erupt from the deepest depths of the earth.
The ground shook madly, and Demon Qi surged violently, as though an unparalleled fiend was trying to force its way out of its seal.
Bang!
Yet whenever that Demon Qi struck the Spiritual Energy net covering the earth, violent tremors erupted. Countless mountains across Northern Desolate Grave collapsed, but the Spiritual Energy net held firm, refusing to allow the Demon Qi to run rampant.
"Bastards! How dare you treat our Saint God in such a manner! You all deserve to die!"
The countless Demons of the Feind Race flew into a rage upon seeing this scene.
Beside the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor, one terrifying demonic figure after another released overwhelming Demon might while roaring furiously. The leader among them possessed eyes resembling black whirlpools. He was none other than the Heavenly Demon Clan Chief.
"Saint Demon, are you still not going to act? Are you simply going to watch them attack Lord Saint God?!"
Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor shouted angrily.
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor lowered his gaze toward the majestic Array enveloping Northern Desolate Grave. A dark light flickered within his eyes.
Then he waved his sleeve, and an emotionless voice echoed throughout heaven and earth.
"Corrosion Demon Clan, it is your turn."
As those words fell, Demon Qi surged within the spatial crack, revealing countless demonic figures seated cross legged within.
Their bodies appeared somewhat viscous, continuously dripping black liquid. Whenever a drop fell, even space itself was corroded, leaving visible scars.
The Corrosion Demon Clan was born with the power of corrosion. Their abilities were tyrannical beyond compare. Any form of power contaminated by them would gradually be eroded away.
This was also one of the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's prepared trump cards.
His final method.
Roar! Roar!
Countless demonic figures released low growls.
The next moment, demonic light burst forth from within their bodies like sharp swords shooting outward.
Bang!
As the demonic light swept across the area, one demonic figure after another exploded.
Following the destruction of their bodies, drops of incomparably viscous black liquid slowly descended.
Those black liquids were so dark that they seemed to embody absolute darkness itself. They flowed slowly, yet even the void could not endure their presence. A terrifying power radiated from them, as though they could corrode all things.
Splash! Splash!
The Corrosion Demon Fluid formed from the self destruction of countless Corrosion Demon Clan experts gathered together into a black river.
Then it descended from the heavens and poured onto the light barrier formed by the Great Thousand Demon Subduing Array.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
The moment the two came into contact, clouds of smoke immediately rose into the air.
The light barrier containing boundless power shimmered with radiance as ripples spread across its surface. A mysterious force swept through it and rapidly purified the black river.
"Continue!"
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's expression did not change in the slightest. His cold voice carried absolute determination.
"For the Saint Clan!"
A great cry erupted from within the Corrosion Demon Clan.
Immediately afterward, countless demonic figures detonated themselves one after another.
In an instant, black liquid surged into the sky, forming countless streams that continuously poured down upon the Great Thousand Demon Subduing Array.
Although the corrosive power of the Corrosion Demon Clan was formidable, it was clearly unable to do anything to the Great Thousand Demon Subduing Array. Yet the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor acted as though he had not noticed, continuing to watch with an icy expression.
As for the members of the Corrosion Demon Clan, they seemed endless. One after another, they willingly rushed toward death without the slightest hesitation.
The sight caused many Heavenly Sovereigns on the Great Thousand World's side to frown.
Such a fanatical race was something they had never seen before.
Mu Chen stared at the scene with furrowed brows.
After a long while, his pupils suddenly contracted as he shouted sharply, "They are consuming the Array's power and delaying the formation of the ancient spear!"
Liu Bai's expression remained cold.
Naturally, he already knew this.
But right now, he also needed time.
"Everyone, increase your Spiritual Energy output!" Qin Tian shouted in a deep voice.
The Heavenly Sovereigns immediately sat down and began circulating their Spiritual Energy, pouring vast amounts into the bronze coffins.
The Undying Lord stared gloomily at the endless Demon Qi beyond the void.
"The Feind Race truly is insane. In order to break the seal, they are actually willing to sacrifice an entire clan."
"If this continues, flaws are bound to appear. The Feind Race is already stronger than our Great Thousand World. Moreover, only half of those destined to arrive at Northern Desolate Grave have gathered here!"
The Azure Sword Saint spoke grimly, laying out the current situation.
"No matter what, we must endure until all ninety nine ancient spears descend. As long as the Heavenly Evil God's life imprint is erased, the Feind Race will never recover."
Qin Tian's tone was resolute.
"However, we still need people to go outside and stop them. We cannot allow these Demons to continue."
The moment those words were spoken, everyone's heart sank.
With the Array currently operating, there were simply not enough people available to fight.
And if only one or two people went out against the numerous Heavenly Demon Emperors waiting outside, it would be nothing less than a desperate fight to the death.
Looking at the solemn expressions around him, a smile suddenly appeared on Liu Bai's face.
"Don't worry. Our reinforcements have arrived."
At the very moment his words fell, a deafening dragon roar suddenly echoed throughout heaven and earth.
Boundless golden light tore through layers upon layers of Demon Qi from beyond the void, transforming into a gigantic Violet Gold Dragon that coiled across the sky.
Its endless dragon might swept across heaven and earth.
"Hahaha, King Liu, we of the Divine Beast Race are not too late, are we?"
The Violet Gold Dragon covered the sky itself.
Behind it, multicolored radiance surged across the heavens as one enormous figure after another broke through space.
They were none other than the famous Super Divine Beasts of the Great Thousand World.
Within the Great Thousand Demon Subduing Array, everyone stared at the sudden appearance of these countless Super Divine Beasts, and expressions of delight immediately appeared on their faces.
