Chapter 487 - 486: They’re All Here, Quasi-Saint War Erupts (Part 2)
But this is not enough to make it feel threatened.
Though it’s unclear what opportunities the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts has gained, Nine Nether Ao does not consider her a worthy adversary.
What truly worries it is that, besides the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts, there’s also a Nameless Quasi-Saint!
The division of the Quasi-Saint realm.
Is only into minor, middle, superior, and extreme levels.
This method of division, in fact, is merely set by Quasi-Saints based on the amount of Saint aura cultivated.
In essence,
Quasi-Saint realm is just that, the Quasi-Saint realm.
Even if there are differences among each other, they aren’t much.
Unlike the vast differences from the First Heaven to the Ninth Heaven.
So even an Extreme Quasi-Saint might not withstand the siege of four minor Quasi-Saints.
Moreover, in this realm, if it comes to a direct battle,
then determining victory is easy, but determining life and death is extremely difficult.
Because within a Quasi-Saint, there exists one or several strands of Saint aura. While it doesn’t grant immortality, it makes them very hard to kill alone.
Like the fallen Ancient Qilin Emperor of Jambudvipa Continent or the disgraced Golden Cicada this time.
They all died by siege without exception.
Therefore, it’s evident.
The combat among Quasi-Saints often doesn’t decide the outcome by the difference between minor and extreme, but by the number of people.
What currently worries Nine Nether Ao is naturally this reason.
Of course.
Besides facing two Quasi-Saints on the other side.
The terrifying blood power emitted by Lin Heng in his breakthrough state.
Also deeply shocks Nine Nether Ao.
"He almost already possesses Quasi-Saint might, this guy is truly extraordinary!"
"Previously, as an Ancestral Immortal, he could withstand Quasi-Saint power. If he breaks through, just imagine!"
Nine Nether Ao’s gaze fluctuated, pondering indecisively.
The Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts seemed to sense something and decisively said loudly, "Nine Nether Ao, if you want to enter the Celestial Dao Gate, go quickly. We have no intention to interfere and will not stop you."
"But if you have other thoughts, be careful not to end up harming yourself."
Her tone was firm, expressing retreat while also giving a warning.
"Do you really not intend to stop me from ascending the Celestial Dao Gate?" Nine Nether Ao was a bit skeptical, not believing they would willingly give up such an opportunity.
"If we truly wanted to fight, would we wait for you to come? If you don’t hurry, be careful of those who come later!" the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts exclaimed.
These words reminded Nine Nether Ao.
It glanced deeply at the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts and the indifferent Long Yang and finally clasped its hands to express thanks, saying, "Then thank you very much!"
After speaking, it stepped forward, a scarlet light connecting straight to the Celestial Dao Gate.
When someone tried to step in, the Celestial Dao Gate instantly erupted in extreme firelight, descending nine layers of fiery stairs before it, at the same time imposing incredible resistance on Nine Nether Ao.
Weighing upon it like a thousand mountains, making it hard to proceed.
Nine Nether Ao was not surprised by this.
This was the arduous road one must take to enter the Celestial Dao Gate.
"Roar!"
Facing the oppression of heavenly might, Nine Nether Ao exhibited its true abilities.
All nine heads moved at once, demonic light pierced the sky, forcefully forging a path.
Boom!
With one step forward, the void shattered, and the heavens trembled.
Boom!
With another step, the sea of fire roared, and thunder rolled.
Nine Nether Ao, with a cold and stern face, was about to proceed to the third step on the Celestial Ladder.
Unexpectedly at this moment.
The misty boundary shattered again, and someone broke in.
The moment this person appeared,
the entire Demon Realm echoed with the Brahma Sound.
It was surprisingly East Buddha!
"Western Future Buddha?"
His appearance made everyone’s complexion change drastically.
It also attracted several gazes from other realms within the Demon Realm.
"Damn it, how did he arrive so quickly?"
Seeing East Buddha appear, Nine Nether Ao, not yet on the third layer of the Celestial Ladder, wore a face as grim as eating a dead rat.
And immediately, another figure appeared, making Nine Nether Ao’s expression utterly gloomy.
It was Eastern Venerable Emperor Chong’en!
Dwelling inside the Ancient Dragon Carriage, he traversed the Dawn Avenue, descending with supreme nobility.
"The Celestial Dao Gate is truly here, incredible..."
Resounding from the Dragon Carriage was a voice tinged with a sigh of wonder.
Yet, East Buddha’s attention was more on the people present.
"Two Quasi-Saints are here, yet not intervening?"
He looked at Nine Nether Ao, who had already ascended two layers of the Celestial Ladder, feeling somewhat puzzled, but after noticing Lin Heng behind Long Yang and the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts,
he instantly realized.
"Turns out it’s to protect this person’s breakthrough to Quasi-Saint."
"Wait, is he, from the Eastern Desolate Continent?"
East Buddha contemplated, taking a closer look at Lin Heng, slightly shocked in his heart.
"Indeed a monstrous talent."
He secretly frowned but returned his gaze to the Celestial Ladder.
Despite Lin Heng’s terrifying potential,
the current competition for the Saint seat took precedence.
"Nine Nether Ao, this gate has affinity with my Buddha. Please step down." East Buddha spoke, a kind smile on his face.
"Affinity with you? Western Trinity of Buddhas truly inherits the same shamelessness." Nine Nether Ao ridiculed mercilessly.
East Buddha wasn’t fazed, keeping the smile as he said, "If you don’t step down, you risk becoming the target of all."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Tears appeared in the misty boundary again.
Someone arrived on a Kunpeng, their aura piercing the skies.
Another came with a Phoenix, carrying Celestial Fire, burning the world’s mountains and rivers.
A scholar from the Confucian School loudly proclaimed, "A gentleman keeps a weapon in reserve until the time comes," imbuing the vast righteous qi across the skies.
More and more Quasi-Saints arrived.
The entire Demon Realm was enveloped under the pressure of the Quasi-Saints.
All eyes were on Nine Nether Ao.
Putting it in a dilemma.
It dared not advance, reluctant to retreat.
And all the Quasi-Saints remained watchful of each other, no one acting first, each wanting to benefit as a third party.
"Venerable Emperor Chong’en, Master Meng, what say you?"
East Buddha smiled and looked at the two.
Eastern Venerable Emperor Chong’en was straightforward: "I shall go first."
Having said this, he led an attack on Nine Nether Ao on the Celestial Ladder, a golden war halberd flew from the Dragon Carriage, entering from one end of the void and piercing out in front of Nine Nether Ao.
"Roar!"
Nine Nether Ao, enraged, all nine heads moved, and the battle erupted instantly.
"What shall we do?"
Bai Suzhen and others were shocked.
The Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts waved a hand, divine light descended from the sky, enveloping Lin Heng on the brink of his breakthrough, then said to Long Yang, "Leave this place!"
