SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 988 988 The Little Divine Demon Ant Is on Its Knees

In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.

During that month, the Borderlands became a stage for slaughter.

The armies of both realms clashed multiple times, rivers of blood flowing, mountains of bones piling up.

At the same time, the younger generation of both realms also engaged in fierce battles across the various forbidden battlegrounds of the Borderlands.

The high-ranking figures of both sides, however, had been locked in a standoff, neither making a move lightly.

Because the powerhouses on both sides knew that the true ultimate war had yet to arrive.

This battle of the Borderlands was primarily meant to provide a stage for the younger generation of both realms to prove themselves.

And amid this slaughter, one forbidden ground became the focal point of contention between the most gifted of both realms.

That was the Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground.

Legend had it that this forbidden land had been left behind by an immortal dark sovereign of the foreign realm.

It had remained dormant all along.

Yet by coincidence, just recently,

the Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground had shown signs of unusual activity.

Blood light blazed across the sky, and the wails of ten thousand spirits filled the air.

This drew the attention of both realms.

For the foreign realm, it concerned the secret of a certain immortal.

For the immortal realm, it was absolutely unacceptable to let the foreign realm gain any advantage within it.

So the most gifted of both realms began to wage war around the Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground.

At this moment, somewhere in the void above the Borderlands,

a woman of peerless grace, unrivaled beauty, and an air of noble, icy elegance was crossing through the void, heading toward the Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground.

It was none other than Ling Yuan.

She wore a snow-white glazed long dress that set off her delicate figure, making her look like an immortal bloom of unparalleled beauty.

Yet there was one difference from before.

On Ling Yuan's long, snow-white legs, smooth as congealed fat, she now wore white silk stockings woven from ten-thousand-year Mystic Ice Silkworm thread.

It was worth noting that Ling Yuan had always gone bare-legged before, never wearing stockings.

And this change was something even Ling Yuan herself had not noticed.

During this period, Ling Yuan, as the Young Sovereign of the Immortal Court, had also carved out a fearsome reputation in the Borderlands.

When the Heavenly Emperor Throne Brand was unleashed, it suppressed all directions.

Even some of the foreign realm's dormant Emperor-tier figures could do nothing against Ling Yuan, and were instead struck and wounded by her.

This made it clear just how thoroughly Ling Yuan's strength had transformed after being baptized by immortal-level fortune.

At that moment, a figure flashed through the void toward her.

It was none other than Gu Dizi.

"Are you following me?"

Ling Yuan furrowed her brow, her tone flat and cold.

She felt an inexplicable, instinctive aversion toward Gu Dizi.

Before, although Ling Yuan had kept her distance from Gu Dizi, it had never reached the point of such repulsion and disgust.

"Ling Yuan, I'm merely worried that your brilliance is too dazzling and that you'll be targeted by the foreign realm's hunters." Gu Dizi said.

The immortal realm had the Decapitation Guard.

The foreign realm had the Hunters.

Both existed to hunt down the most outstanding top-tier geniuses of the opposing side.

"Your strength right now may not even match this sovereign's. You'd better worry about your own battle merits." Ling Yuan said indifferently.

"Ling Yuan, you really seem like a different person. Could it be that the consciousness of Heavenly Maiden Yuan has truly affected you?" Gu Dizi fixed a deep gaze on Ling Yuan.

"What do you mean by that? This sovereign has always been this sovereign, and has never been anyone else." Ling Yuan raised an elegant brow.

"Good then. Ling Yuan, don't forget who it was that yielded the Young Sovereign position to you." Gu Dizi said.

The coldness in Ling Yuan's eyes only deepened.

If Gu Dizi thought he could use that favor to demand something in return, that was simply impossible.

Because at the time, Ling Yuan had never even asked Gu Dizi to step aside.

It was nothing more than his own plan falling apart — he'd tried to catch a fox and ended up reeking of it instead.

"By the way, let me tell you something else. In the Sky Burial Forest, there seem to be traces of that foreign realm Chaos Physique."

"Seed-tier figures have already fallen at his hands."

Gu Dizi's words made Ling Yuan's eyes flicker.

"The foreign realm Chaos Physique is too great a threat. He must be eliminated." Ling Yuan said.

Eliminating that Chaos Physique was one of her goals in coming to the Borderlands this time.

"Let's go together. The Chaos Physique is no pushover." Gu Dizi said with a smile.

Ling Yuan paid him no mind and turned to leave directly.

Gu Dizi then stepped forward and followed after her.

Those heading to the Sky Burial Forest were not only Ling Yuan and Gu Dizi.

There were also Long Yao'er, Yu Hua Wang, and other former members of the Rebellious Sovereign's Seven Emperors.

In addition, the seed-tier genius of the Sacred Spirit Island, Bai Gu Gongzi, as well as the seed-tier figure of the Underworld King lineage, Sheng Yan Luo, had also received word and were preparing to set out.

For a time, the entire Sky Burial Forest became another center of the storm, second only to the Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground.

And at this moment, Jun Xiaoyao was still unaware that he was about to be surrounded.

Or perhaps even if he knew, he wouldn't have much of a reaction.

A month's time was more than enough for Jun Xiaoyao to gain a deep understanding of the Divine Demon Mighty Technique.

The entire pool of laws he had been sitting in had already run dry.

All the power within it had been absorbed by Jun Xiaoyao and the little Divine Demon Ant.

"Ugh, cultivating this Divine Spirit Indestructibility Art is such a hassle."

The little Divine Demon Ant was grumbling to itself.

Even so,

within its tiny body, no bigger than a little finger, layers of radiant light were overflowing.

From within came what seemed like the chanting voices of divine spirits.

It was as if countless miniature divine spirits were seated inside it, offering prayers.

To have reached this level of comprehension within a single month —

it was a testament to just how extraordinary the little Divine Demon Ant's talent truly was.

Absolutely monstrous.

The little Divine Demon Ant glanced sideways at Jun Xiaoyao and noticed that he too had opened his eyes, letting out a faint sigh.

The little Divine Demon Ant gave a hop and landed on Jun Xiaoyao's shoulder.

Putting on an air of seasoned wisdom, it said earnestly, "Hard to understand, isn't it? I get it. After all, this is my clan's exclusive innate divine technique — it's quite difficult for other beings to comprehend."

"In your next life, reincarnate as an ant. I'll be your big brother."

The little Divine Demon Ant struck a pose as it said this, which was rather amusing.

"Sigh, it really is difficult. A whole month has passed and I still haven't fully grasped the Law of Force." Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly.

"Exactly, I knew it… wait, what do you mean by that?" The little Divine Demon Ant's mind couldn't quite keep up.

Jun Xiaoyao rose to his feet and raised his hand.

Boom!

A terrifying surge of chaotic qi and blood filled the sky, as if countless phantom silhouettes of divine demons were emerging.

Immortals carrying mountains, demon gods moving peaks — visions and runes of the ultimate extremes of force manifested all around.

With nothing more than a light strike of his palm, the void before him shattered into nothingness.

This was even more powerful than when Jun Xiaoyao had previously unleashed his full strength with the Ancient Holy Body.

It was clear just how formidable this Divine Demon Mighty Technique truly was.

"How is this possible!"

The little Divine Demon Ant let out a shriek, its entire worldview on the verge of collapse.

Even though it had been born with this innate divine technique,

it had still comprehended it step by step, gradually coming to understand it before finally mastering it.

Most importantly, the little Divine Demon Ant's current mastery of the Divine Demon Mighty Technique still hadn't reached the profound depth that Jun Xiaoyao had achieved.

This was absolutely absurd!

"Are you my long-lost older brother?" the little Divine Demon Ant cried out.

If they weren't of the same race, how could he have comprehended this technique so quickly?

"You're overthinking it." Jun Xiaoyao was at a loss for words.

"Big bro, teach me!"

The little Divine Demon Ant practically knelt before Jun Xiaoyao in reverence, its admiration reaching its peak — it had even called him big bro out loud.

But this was exactly what Jun Xiaoyao had anticipated.

The Divine Demon Ant's potential was boundless, and it would undoubtedly become one of the great overlords of heaven and earth in the future.

It had to be brought into the same camp.

"Of course I can teach you. But it seems some guests have arrived."

Sensing a dense cluster of auras closing in on the Sky Burial Forest, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes grew deep and profound.

He had just mastered the Divine Demon Mighty Technique, and already someone had come to his door as a sparring sandbag.

How very considerate of them.
