Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Tianwei Dynasty, Heavenly Palace Mountain.

An Hao, Si Yan'er, and a group of cultivators walked out of the Heavenly Palace, gazing at the vast sky full of stars with wide eyes.

The sky in the Immortal Cultivation World was very high. They had never seen so many stars, and they were so close that it seemed they could reach out and pluck them.

"What is this phenomenon?"

"Could the sky be falling?"

"Could this be the work of the Demon Ancestor?"

"It shouldn't be. It might be a powerful formation, perhaps from the Cangtian Sect. Their formations are grand, embodying the essence of heaven and earth."

"Recently, there have been more and more demons in the nearby areas. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to protect the inheritance here."

An Hao gazed at the starry sky, his eyes flickering.

Si Yan'er stood next to him, marveling. She said a few words but received no response. She couldn't help but turn to look at him.

"What's wrong with you?" Si Yan'er nudged his arm with her elbow and asked.

An Hao took a deep breath and said, "This is the sword intent of Sword Venerable Fudao. It should be an evolution of the Taicang Divine-Shocking Sword."

Sword Venerable Fudao?

Everyone looked at him, their faces showing surprise and joy.

They had been drawn out by the demonic might of the Demon Ancestor and were fearful and uneasy. When the sky suddenly changed, they naturally became more tense. Now, upon hearing An Hao's words, did this not imply that Sword Venerable Fudao was about to confront the Demon Ancestor?

Si Yan'er knew that Sword Venerable Fudao was An Hao's master, which made her look forward to the upcoming battle even more.

She couldn't forget the scene when Sword Venerable Fudao waved his sleeve and annihilated a Great Cultivator of the Mystic Heart Realm.

Such a powerful figure should not be defeated, right?

Thinking carefully, no matter how strong the enemies that emerged in the world, Sword Venerable Fudao always emerged victorious.

If he didn't act, it wouldn't matter. But when he did, it shocked the world!

Taicang Dynasty, on a blood-soaked plain, Wu Jue was fiercely battling with the demons. His fists moved like the wind, and each punch could explode the demon's bodies, making his presence even more terrifying than the demons'.

On the battlefield, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Taicang Dynasty were fighting against the demons.

Wu Jue looked up, his face filled with shock.

How did the sky change so suddenly?

Not only him, but the other soldiers were also frightened. However, the rampaging demons would not stop, forcing them to continue fighting.

Miles away, a general clad in silver armor wielded a long spear, unmatched and invincible.

He was Ye Yan, a disciple recruited by Gu An in the Mystic Valley.

Although Ye Yan was still in the Foundation Establishment Realm, his physique and spear technique were exceptionally strong, far beyond other Foundation Establishment Realm soldiers. Of course, he was still somewhat inferior to Wu Jue, but his spear technique was more agile.

The spear danced like a dragon, and his movements were swift like a startled swan. With each thrust and pull, flesh and blood flew!

Ye Yan also looked up at the starry sky, his eyes filled with envy.

"What kind of cultivation level could create such a phenomenon?"

Ye Yan wondered, having served in the military for decades and fought countless battles, his vision was already broad. It was precisely because of this that he understood his own insignificance.

The world was vast, and the rulers of the world's destiny were those Great Cultivators who stood above the dynasties. In this life, he probably would not have the opportunity to witness the elegance of those Great Cultivators.

Ye Yan collected his thoughts and continued fighting.

On a distant mountaintop, Li Xuandao stood facing the wind, gazing at the myriad stars, his sword-like brows furrowed.

With his current cultivation level observing the phenomenon in the sky, his feelings were deeper than Wu Jue's or Ye Yan's.

"The Realm of Immortal Path…"

Li Xuandao murmured, his eyes drifting.

Cultivators across the world were stunned by the star-filled sky, except for a few hiding in the mountains who remained unaware, such as Zhang Buku, who was still cultivating the Heaven-Cutting Divine Axe in that mountain cave.

On a mountain trail in the western region of the Taicang Dynasty, Ye Lan, Zhen Qin, and other disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall stopped in their tracks, admiring the majestic scene of the stars in the sky.

The disciples speculated that a Great Cultivator was about to confront that unknown terrifying demonic energy.

Ye Lan withdrew her gaze and looked at Zhen Qin, sighing slightly.

Since the last disappearance, Zhen Qin seemed like a different person, becoming silent. Even when questioned, Zhen Qin did not respond, which made her very worried.

She could only pray now that the demonic calamities would end soon so she could take Zhen Qin back to the Supreme Sect to rest.

…

In the Third Medicine Valley, all the disciples were astonished by the changes in the sky, and Lu Lingjun was gazing at the star-filled sky.

She felt a vast sword intent that reminded her of Sword Venerable Fudao, but she also felt that this sword intent was stronger than what Sword Venerable Fudao had displayed before.

Was it someone else, or had Sword Venerable Fudao never shown his full strength before?

Gu An and Xiaochuan stood side by side, both gazing at the sky with similar expressions, but Gu An only pretended to be shocked.

His Divine Sense had already locked onto the Demon Ancestor!

When he wielded the Vast Star Suppressing Heaven Boundless Sword, the Demon Ancestor had no escape. It was too late to turn back now.

However, instead of retreating, the Demon Ancestor exploded with even stronger demonic energy, intending to invade the Human Race's territory.

"Sword Venerable Fudao? Let us determine the victor of this calamity today!"

The Demon Ancestor's cold voice echoed across the three dynasties. This time, people were not afraid. The words 'Sword Venerable Fudao' seemed to have a certain power, giving them a great sense of security.

By now, not only the Immortal Cultivation World but even commoners knew the name of Sword Venerable Fudao. Sword Venerable Fudao had already become the guardian deity in the hearts of people across the three dynasties, even greater than the Mountain God.

The Mountain God was ethereal and elusive, but Sword Venerable Fudao was a cultivator, closer to them!

Northern Territory of Great Jiang.

After the Demon Ancestor's call, he leaped into the air, his demonic energy erupting, with thunderbolts intertwining around him. The demonic fog behind him billowed fiercely, and countless demonic beast phantoms roared deafeningly, causing the ground to crack continuously, as if the entire world was about to collapse.

He quickly approached the cliff where Xuan Tianyi and others were.

Even though they knew Sword Venerable Fudao was about to act, Xuan Tianyi and the others did not let their guard down. They all took out their strongest magic artifacts or formed formations, preparing to confront the Demon Ancestor.

A vast sword intent suddenly descended, enveloping the world!

Xuan Tianyi and the others instinctively looked up, and then, their eyes widened, and their mouths fell open. Even the inscrutable Daoist Lord and Taoist of Immortality could not remain calm at this moment, all showing shocked expressions.

As they watched, the countless stars burst out with sword light, like innumerable sword shadows streaking down with flowing light, covering the entire sky, an awe-inspiring spectacle.

Even someone as strong as the Mahayana Realm felt insignificant as dust at this moment!

The Demon Ancestor gazed at the endless starry sword shadows, a fleeting look of fear in his eyes, followed by a manic expression.

Rumble——

Amidst the rolling demonic fog, countless demonic beast phantoms condensed into a giant demon a thousand feet high. The figure was human-like, standing on lions and tigers, with an azure dragon coiled around its waist, a phoenix spreading its wings on its shoulders. Its long hair writhed like a cluster of serpents, and its hands conjured a long blade's shadow, brandishing it skyward in fury.

At this moment, Xuan Tianyi and others, along with the approaching cultivators in the rear, were all stunned. It seemed as if they were witnessing a creation god resisting the sky, the visual impact making their hearts pound like war drums.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Endless starry sword shadows descended, striking the long blade in the giant demon's hands. His demon blade was instantly submerged, and his demon body was continuously pierced through.

He let out a soul-shaking roar and struck the sky with his palm.

The starry sword shadows fell like the Milky Way, and the thousand-foot-high giant demon was submerged in an instant. The ground shattered, dust flew, and winds howled across the world.

The giant spiritual energy wall cast by the Taoist of Immortality shattered in an instant, startling Xuan Tianyi and the others to gather their spiritual power to defend themselves. But the mountain they stood on was still pulverized, and they were swept away.

People in the three dynasties felt the northern sky suddenly burst with blinding light, and the world lost its color in their eyes.

Even the people in the Third Medicine Valley were dazzled and closed their eyes. Lu Lingjun flew into the sky, shielding the valley with her spiritual power.

Her beautiful face was full of incredulity, gradually losing its outline in the bright light.

Heavenly Phoenix Mountain, Nianchu Cave.

The cave walls shuddered, and Tian Yao'er hid by the stone table, extremely nervous. She covered her head with her hands, murmuring "master."

North Sea Mountains, in front of Mountain God Temple.

Sage Xuan Miao stood outside the forest, enveloping the mountains in his spiritual power. Yet even so, the surrounding forest still shook violently. He looked into the distance, his face filled with shock.

"Sword Venerable Fudao..."

Sage Xuan Miao murmured. Such power made him feel that Sword Venerable Fudao might be no weaker than the Mountain God.

Or perhaps, the Mountain God did not act because he foresaw that there were still strong individuals like Sword Venerable Fudao in the world?

Sage Xuan Miao could not see the specific battle situation, but facing such grand sword intent, he could not think of how the Demon Ancestor could win.

The intense light lasted for ten breaths' time. When everyone regained their vision, the world was still filled with howling winds, and the earth shook.

The starry sky spectacle displayed across the heavens gradually disappeared, revealing the blue sky.

In the Third Medicine Valley.

Gu An looked at the prompt before him, his brows furrowed.

[You successfully seized 1,030 years of lifespan from the Demon Ancestor (Fifth Layer of the Loose Immortal Realm)]

How is it only a little over a thousand?

It's not even as much as Startling Immortal Lin!

Next to him, Xiaochuan cautiously opened his eyes, watching the sky's stars gradually fade, and couldn't help asking Gu An: "Senior Brother, is it over?"

He had expected an earth-shattering battle between Sword Venerable Fudao and the Demon Ancestor. Now, looking at it, it was certainly earth-shattering but not much of a battle.

Gu An took a deep breath, pretending to be profound, and said: "I am not sure either. Perhaps only Lu Lingjun knows the situation afar."

The servant disciples behind them also discussed this matter, their eyes looking toward Lu Lingjun in the sky.

Lu Lingjun hovered in the air, looking northward with a look of fear in her eyes.

A small snake peeked out from her hair—it was the White Spirit Demon Emperor. It hissed its tongue, exclaiming: "My goodness… such terrifying demonic energy dissipated just like that? The Demon Ancestor was not even an opponent for one move of Sword Venerable Fudao..."

Lu Lingjun did not respond to it because she was also pondering this.

Just how strong is Sword Venerable Fudao?

Before long, the outer gate city in the distance erupted with cheers, the disciples of the Supreme Sect's Law Enforcement Hall unleashing their pent-up emotions.

To see Sword Venerable Fudao act twice in one day—no regrets in this life!

Most importantly, the Demon Ancestor had perished. Does it not signify the end of the demonic tribulations?
