Chapter 212 - The Price to Be Paid Will Be Very Heavy!

The outskirts of Yongye Juncheng.

Ning Yechen, with his hands behind his back, followed two people claiming to be from the Qianmo clan into a valley.

The two of them were wearing black cloaks, their entire bodies wrapped up tightly, their appearances completely hidden.

Back in the Demon God Palace, the two had said they wanted to represent the Qianmo clan in congratulating him on his return to the Demon Realm. They claimed the Qianmo clan had prepared a great gift in the valley and hoped he would personally come with them.

This trick to lure him away from Yongye Juncheng was simply too obvious, but Ning Yechen did not expose it and agreed without hesitation.

Whether the other party was from the Qianmo clan or not, and what they truly wanted to do, he knew crystal clear.

The reason he agreed to accompany them was simply that he wanted to see what kind of tricks they could pull.

Hopefully, they wouldn't be too uninteresting…

As he was about to step over a stone stele by the side of the road, Ning Yechen’s foot paused in mid-air, his expression hardening slightly.

"Demon Lord, is something wrong…?"

The two in front, seeing Ning Yechen stop, exchanged a worried glance and asked.

Could he have noticed…?

Ning Yechen smiled faintly, acting as if nothing had happened, and generously placed his foot down, stepping forward.

"It's nothing~ Let's continue."

"The 'great gift' you spoke of, are you not yet preparing to bring it out?"

"If you don't bring it out soon, you won't have a chance in a little while."

After stepping past the stone stele, Ning Yechen said to the two leading the way before him with a kind smile.

The two stopped in their tracks, their expressions hardening. No longer feigning, they ripped off the black robes covering their bodies and flew into the sky, revealing their true faces.

One was an old man with an aged face and crane-white hair, his posture tall and straight, his fingers covered in all sorts of immortal rings and magical treasures.

Looking closely, the old man's body was almost entirely covered in various immortal artifacts and magical treasures. Even the celestial robes he wore were vestments engraved with barrier and celestial patterns.

The other was a beautiful woman with tattoos of the Four Holy Beasts on her face.

The woman was dressed in a flowing immortal skirt. A White Tiger and an Azure Dragon protected her left and right, she stepped on a Black Tortoise with her bare feet, and a Fire Phoenix guarded her from behind.

Their identities exposed, the two no longer concealed their auras. An enormous and terrifying celestial spiritual energy burst forth from their bodies!

The celestial spiritual energy, like a pillar of light, shot straight into the clouds, illuminating the night sky above the Demon Realm's valley!

The celestial spiritual pressure from either one of them was no less than that of Dao Xian Tianhua!

Two experts half a step into the Transcendent Immortal Realm!

To take away his wife and child, they really were willing to pull out all the stops~!

Ning Yechen stood his ground with a calm expression, watching the two, and asked calmly:

"Immortal rings on ten fingers, a body clothed in myriad treasures, this must be the Heavenly Realm's Myriad Treasures Immortal Venerable?"

"The other, with the Four Holy Beasts guarding her, must be the legendary Four Saints Fairy?"

He had also heard of some of the figures in the Heavenly Realm.

Myriad Treasures Immortal Venerable, Four Saints Fairy—these two titles were very famous in the Heavenly Realm.

As early as a thousand years ago, the two of them had distinguished themselves in the Heavenly Realm with their excellent talent and were both hailed as legendary prodigies of the Heavenly Realm.

Later, after their cultivation reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, the two also began to cultivate in seclusion, vowing to break through to the legendary Transcendent Immortal Realm.

But for the next thousand years, there was no further news of the two of them.

Some said they had successfully stepped into the Transcendent Immortal Realm and ascended to the Divine Realm.

Others said that they had failed in their pursuit of godhood, their two thousand years of cultivation ending in vain, and had thus perished from the world as immortals.

Now, it seemed both of these accounts were wrong.

The two had broken through, but not completely. They had only touched the threshold of the Transcendent Immortal Realm, with half a foot stepped over, just like Dao Xian Tianhua.

No, wait, they were even inferior to Dao Xian Tianhua.

Their bodies had not the slightest trace or aura of a Transcendent Immortal's domain.

"Myriad Treasures Immortal Venerable, I truly miss that title. It has been a long time since anyone has called this old man that…"

Ge Xian fiddled with a string of jet-black prayer beads in his hand, his aged eyes smiling as he watched Ning Yechen.

"Is your current identity that of a house slave for the Divine Realm?"

"No, wait, according to the parlance of your Heavenly Realm, I should call you two Dao Protectors?"

Ning Yechen said with a faint smile, his words sharp and sarcastic.

The faces of both Ge Xian and Sheng Ling instantly stiffened, their expressions turning cold.

They couldn't help but wonder how Ning Yechen knew the two of them had become Potian’s Dao Protectors…

"Hmph, to think the legendary supreme ruler of the Demon Realm would be so sharp-tongued!"

"I just wonder how the Demon Lord's strength compares to his skill with words...!"

Sheng Ling said, her pretty face cold, her gaze fixed deadly on Ning Yechen.

She had long heard that over a hundred years ago, this newly-risen Demon Lord had led the Demon Realm and turned the Heavenly Realm upside down, causing her Heavenly Realm to lose all face among the Six Realms!

If not for the fact that she had become a Dao Protector and it was inconvenient to act, she would have long since wanted to make a move and test the skills of this new Demon Lord!

Ning Yechen revealed a disdainful and contemptuous smile, beckoned to Sheng Ling with his finger, and his profound eyes instantly turned cold.

"Why don't you two try~"

"However, the price to be paid will be very heavy!"

The instant he spoke these words, killing intent and demonic spiritual energy erupted from Ning Yechen’s body like a tsunami!

A terrifying, bone-chilling killing intent merged with the demonic spiritual energy, seeming to coalesce behind him into a towering devil with a ferocious and horrifying face, which gazed at Ge Xian and Sheng Ling!

In that instant, both of them simultaneously felt a shuddering fear, a cold terror as if death itself were approaching!

It was almost as if their bodies' survival instincts did not allow them the slightest hesitation, and they attacked directly!

"Phoenix Locks the Heavens, Incinerate the Demonic Evil! Azure Dragon Forms a Sword, Powerfully Slay and Exterminate the Wicked!"

Sheng Ling’s hands rapidly changed through celestial art hand seals. The celestial diagrams of the phoenix and azure dragon on her face emitted a dazzling light, and a phoenix and azure dragon leaped out from her side!

The Fire Phoenix let out a cry, circled in mid-air, and with a flap of its wings, all the trees in the valley's forest were turned to fly ash!

The Azure Dragon coiled in the sky, its roar shaking heaven and earth. Mountains shattered, and the valley collapsed!

Beneath Ning Yechen’s feet, a giant immortal formation of a burning phoenix conspicuously formed on the ground.

The immortal formation's raging fire spread like a wildfire, covering the entire valley, and from within the formation, countless fire phoenixes condensed from the fierce flames shot out.

The fire phoenixes circled around Ning Yechen's body, and the scarlet flame celestial chains connected to their tails wrapped around his entire body, layer after layer!

The Azure Dragon circling in mid-air also transformed at this moment into a green, dragon-patterned celestial sword and fell straight down, slashing towards Ning Yechen!

The Azure Dragon sword's edge was like splitting bamboo, accompanied by the celestial might of heaven and earth that could tear the void!

In the Demon Realm, one is not suppressed by the Heavenly Dao!

The celestial might of a half-step Transcendent Immortal could destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth with a casual wave!

This was also the reason why Ning Yechen had proactively chosen to come out here with them.

After all, if they were in Yongye Juncheng, it would be inconvenient for him to make a move...!

Ning Yechen’s expression was completely unchanged. He calmly gazed at the descending dragon-patterned celestial sword.

The shadow at his feet spread like a tide, and from within the shadow, a single, massive, jet-black finger extended out and lightly touched the tip of the celestial sword's blade!

The Azure Dragon Celestial Sword let out a trembling, mournful cry. Its body instantly cracked and shattered directly into dust!

With a shrill dragon's roar, it immediately dissipated into celestial spiritual energy on the spot!

Wh-What…?!

Sheng Ling was greatly shocked, the color draining from her beautiful face.

Her celestial sword, formed from the Holy Beast Azure Dragon, was annihilated by a single finger, just like that?!
