We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

Asura Venerable?
As soon as these words came out, there was silence.

This name instilled a strange sense of oppression in everyone.

"Just how powerful is this Asura Venerable?" Su Chen asked, frowning.

Although he hadn't fought the opponent, he had sensed the opponent's power, a power that even he and Duan Tian Dao together couldn't match.

The gap between the two sides is too great; it is no longer something that one person with a sword can fight against. Even with the addition of Ji Ziyang and others, it may not be possible.

The presence of such a powerful figure among the Heavenly Demons naturally filled him with both shock and worry. If that person had made a move at that time, all of them might have perished. However, for some reason, the other party only managed to save Bi Tianyu and Luo Shiqiu.

Ji Ziyang's expression did not relax after meeting the Venerable Asura; he remained somber, showing that he also felt immense pressure.

Upon hearing Su Chen's question, he thought for a moment and said, "The Asura Venerable is the strongest member of the Asura clan. He is an Asura who surpasses the King level. His strength is immense and unfathomable. Even I don't know his strength. Moreover, after the invasion of the Heavenly Demon, he has rarely appeared. We only know his name but not his person. If he hadn't shown up today, no one would have known that his strength is so terrifying!"

"If he were to make a move, wouldn't we all be completely defenseless? Under his leadership, could the Ten Directions World still hold out?"

At this moment, a Martial Immortal spoke up. His voice was filled with fear of the Asura Venerable and confusion about the future of the Ten Directions World.

No one thought the Ten Directions World would be defeated; they had enough confidence and strength to fight a protracted war against the Heavenly Demon.

However, with the betrayal of the Holy Origin Sect and the appearance of the Asura Venerable, this illusion was shattered, and the stark reality was laid bare before everyone.

At this moment, no one can guarantee that they will be able to stop the Heavenly Demon's actions in the future, and no one can guarantee that anyone can withstand the Asura Venerable.

Perhaps Bi Tianyu and Luo Shiqiu could, but they have already betrayed each other.

Or perhaps Su Chen could, but the other party might not give him time to grow.

"There's no need for you all to be so pessimistic. The Asura Venerable is so powerful, yet he hasn't been able to conquer the Ten Directions World yet. This means that there must be powerful figures in the Ten Directions World that he fears. Perhaps, the methods he used just now were just a show for you, and his true strength is not what you imagine at all. If you give up now, it would be too early."

While everyone remained silent, Gu Xiaoyao spoke up to persuade them.

“That’s right, Brother Gu is right. The fact that Venerable Asura hasn’t made a move means he has a reason for not daring to. The most urgent thing for us is not to sit here and wait for our deaths, but to go and support the other cities, and then gather all the Martial Immortals to make a long-term plan!”

Ji Ziyang quickly regained his composure and addressed the assembled Martial Immortals.

"Sect Leader Ji, just give the order, we will do our duty without hesitation."

"That's right, what are we supposed to do next?"

"We are sworn enemies of the Heavenly Demon. We will not let him get away with this even if it means death. Sect Master Ji, you can rest assured."

"..."

Hearing that everyone had regained their fighting spirit, Ji Ziyang nodded. These Martial Immortals were originally top experts in other sects, but unfortunately, all their sects were destroyed by the Martial Immortals. By chance, they joined Ji Ziyang.

It can be said that everyone has a deep hatred for the Heavenly Demon, and when the Heavenly Demon comes to conquer, they will never let the Heavenly Demon succeed.

"Okay, then let's..."

Ji Ziyang nodded slightly, and then explained his plan.

Today, it's not just the Ziyang Sect that's facing an attack from the Heavenly Demons; the Zhu Dynasty, Holy Weapon City, and Holy Body City are also among those attacked...

Now that the crisis at Ziyang Sect has been resolved, their task is to go and support other cities and help other forces sweep away the attacks of the Heavenly Demons.

"Su Chen, how about you and Brother Wu Shang and the other six head to the Zhu Clan's Holy Court to provide support?"

After assigning tasks to everyone, Ji Ziyang spoke to Su Chen.

Su Chen had no reason to refuse and agreed: "Okay."

Wu Shang was a middle-aged man with half-white and half-black hair, but his face looked unusually old. Upon hearing Ji Ziyang's words, he took the initiative to cup his hands in greeting to Su Chen, and then said to the group, "Everyone, let's set off immediately."

After splitting into different groups, everyone left in turn.

Ji Ziyang did not go to provide support; he stayed behind to prevent the Heavenly Demon from attacking again.

Gu Xiaoyao also stayed, not because he asked for it, but because Ji Ziyang did not assign him a place.

At first, he thought that Ji Ziyang thought he was from the world of Gu Masters, so he was reluctant to ask him to do things. However, he soon realized that Ji Ziyang seemed to have something to say to him, so he asked, "Brother Ziyang, please feel free to speak."

"Alas, Brother Gu, I do have something I'd like to ask you." Ji Ziyang sighed, and seeing that Gu Xiaoyao had seen through him, he didn't hide anything.

"But it doesn't matter."

Ji Ziyang asked, "Brother Gu, since you can come to the Ten Directions World, can you also leave the Ten Directions World?"

"This... is indeed a way to leave, but I wonder why Brother Ziyang is asking about this?"

Upon hearing Ji Ziyang's sudden question, Gu Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment before nodding, his eyes revealing more confusion than anything else.

When he led Su Chen away from the Gu Master World, he left a mark. Even if he is in the Ten Directions World, as long as he can sense this mark, he can return to the Gu Master World.

However, what intrigued him was why Ji Ziyang would ask this question out of the blue.

Could it be that the other party wants to return to the world of Gu Masters with him?

Or do you still hope he will bring the people of the Ten Directions World back to the Gu Master World?
Although I had many doubts in my mind, I did not ask them.

Upon confirming that Gu Xiaoyao could return to the Gu Master world, Ji Ziyang was slightly moved and said, "Brother Gu, I have a favor to ask."

"Do you want me to take people back to the Gu Master world?" Gu Xiaoyao revealed Ji Ziyang's thoughts.

Ji Ziyang nodded: "That's right, I hope you can take Su Chen away from the Ten Directions World?"

"Ok?"

This answer was somewhat unexpected for Gu Xiaoyao. He thought the other party wanted him to bring a group of people back to the Gu Master world, but he didn't expect that he would only bring Su Chen.

If it's the former, he might refuse, since even he can't bring too many people back.

But if it's just Su Chen, it doesn't matter since he's already brought him once, so he nodded in agreement.

Of course, he was still curious as to why Ji Ziyang would make such a choice, so he asked him.

Ji Ziyang sighed, his face filled with worry: "It's because of the unease in my heart."

"disturbed?"

“That’s right. Ever since the appearance of Venerable Asura, I have felt extremely uneasy. I know that this unease comes from Venerable Asura, so I’m worried…” “No one can predict the future.” Gu Xiaoyao knew that he was worried about the future of the Ten Directions World, so he comforted him.

Ji Ziyang shook his head: "It's different. This unease is growing stronger over time. Perhaps it won't be long before I, and even the entire Ten Directions World, fall into chaos, so..."

"So you want me to take Su Chen away?"

"Yes, you know Su Chen's talent. He is the most talented person I have ever seen in my life. Given time, it is not impossible for him to break through the Martial Immortal realm and reach the legendary realm."

"What kind of realm is that? I don't think I've ever heard you mention it before."

Gu Xiaoyao was stunned. He had always thought that the Martial Immortal realm was the end of the cultivation path for martial artists in the Ten Directions World, but now, after listening to Ji Ziyang's words, he discovered that there were realms above the Martial Immortal realm.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ziyang's eyes suddenly lit up with longing, and he said with great anticipation, "That's the God of War!"

God of War?

Is it a realm above Martial Immortal?
"Is the Asura Venerable at the Martial God realm?" Gu Xiaoyao suddenly thought of the Asura Venerable and asked curiously.

Ji Ziyang shook his head: "I don't know either. This is just a legendary realm that only exists in ancient books and history. At least I have never seen it or heard of it. I don't know its full picture. I only know that the Martial God is extremely terrifying. He has an infinite lifespan, transcends the mortal world, is not involved in cause and effect, is not afraid of the laws, and truly controls a world."

“Alright, I agree to this, but I’m worried that Su Chen might not leave.” Gu Xiaoyao nodded after a moment of contemplation.

Ji Ziyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Su Chen will go. He's a smart man who knows when to advance and when to retreat. If he knew he was going to die, he would never stay in the Ten Directions World. He also knows that as long as he is strong enough, he will come back sooner or later."

After a pause, Ji Ziyang added, "When he comes back this time, let him leave with you."

"So eager?" Gu Xiaoyao was taken aback, then frowned and asked, "What exactly did you sense?"

He sensed that Ji Ziyang was acting strangely; the other party seemed to have a premonition of something and was eager for him to take Su Chen away.

Ji Ziyang didn't speak, but shook his head heavily. The worries in his heart seemed to have solidified into a tangled mess, covering his face.

"not good!"

But at that moment, Gu Xiaoyao suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing this, Ji Ziyang asked, "What's wrong?"

"The mark I left in the world of Gu Masters has been isolated..."

Gu Xiaoyao's face immediately turned extremely ugly. Just now, he was preparing to sense the mark left in the Gu Master world, intending to take Su Chen away as soon as he returned. However, after sensing for a long time, he still could not sense the location of the mark, and immediately became panicked.

The mark wouldn't be lost for no reason. No one in the Gu Master world is more powerful than him and could destroy his mark. Since it's not the Gu Master world's fault, it must be the Ten Directions world's fault. Someone must have prevented him from sensing it.

It's the Venerable Asura!
He immediately thought of the person who had made the move, and only Venerable Asura had the strength to do so.

Ji Ziyang's expression also turned grim. He asked, "It was Venerable Asura who made a move. It seems he wasn't incapable of taking action, but rather he was fully prepared to wipe us all out."

After they finished speaking, both of them felt heavy-hearted, exchanged a glance, and remained silent.

……

"Broken Sky Blade, didn't you just go to the Land of Extreme Yin? Why are you back so soon?"

On the way to the Zhu Dynasty, Su Chen sent a telepathic message to Duan Tian Dao, asking the question that had been bothering him.

From the moment Duan Tian Dao left until his return, less than a day had passed. To break through to the Immortal Soldier realm in such a short time was simply astonishing; even he himself could not have done it.

Duan Tiandao knew Su Chen would ask, so he immediately replied, "In your eyes, I have only been gone for less than a day, but in reality, I have been gone for at least a year."

"what?"

"That's because the flow of time in the Land of Extreme Yin is different from that in the Ten Directions World. One day in the Ten Directions World is equivalent to one year in the Land of Extreme Yin."

The Heaven-Slaying Blade offered an explanation.

That's why he was able to break through in just one day; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to return in such a short time.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen was surprised by the issue of flow rate, but he also accepted the explanation given by the Heaven-Severing Blade. Only in this way could the strangeness of the Heaven-Severing Blade be explained.

“Su Chen, actually, the biggest benefit of this trip to the Extreme Yin Land wasn't that I broke through, but rather…”

"But what?"

Seeing that Duan Tian Dao was keeping him in suspense, Su Chen asked impatiently.

Duan Tiandao chuckled: "Instead, I discovered a treasure."

"What treasure? Could it be...?"

"That's right, look what this is?"

As Duan Tiandao spoke, he took out a fist-sized stone and placed it in front of Su Chen.

Upon seeing the stone, Su Chen blurted out, "A Crystal of Laws!"

"Yes, it's the Crystal of Law. You don't know how many Crystals of Law there are in the Extreme Yin Land. You can't see the end of them. Looking around, almost the entire world is filled with Crystals of Law, and they are all of very high quality. I was able to break through by using the Divine Weapon Law within the Crystal of Law. I'm also fortunate to have been by your side. I gained many benefits during my growth, and you also fed me with your Primordial Chaos Power. Otherwise, I would never have been able to break through to the Divine Weapon level and become a Celestial Weapon on my own in this lifetime."

In conclusion, Duan Tian Dao sighed.

Only after entering the extremely yin land did he realize that following Su Chen was the best decision he had ever made in his life.

Without Su Chen, divine weapons would have been his limit, and he would never have been able to break through to immortal weapons. This made him realize how terrifying Su Chen's Primordial Immortal Power was, because it was with the help of Primordial Immortal Power that he was able to break through the boundary between divine weapons and immortal weapons, comprehend the true laws of immortal weapons, and thus break through.

He knew that Su Chen cared a lot about the Crystal of Law, so he brought it back, wanting to tell Su Chen immediately so that he could improve his strength.

Unexpectedly, on his way back, he encountered a major battle. Seeing that a woman dared to bully Su Chen, he immediately took action without saying a word.

"Crystals of Law, Crystals of Law... The Extreme Yin Land is actually filled with Crystals of Law!"

Upon hearing this news, Su Chen was so shocked that he could hardly speak. The fact that the Heaven-Slaying Blade said that there were Law Crystals everywhere was enough to show that the number of Law Crystals in the Extreme Yin Land far exceeded his imagination.

It even has more Law Crystals than the Land of the Dead.

If he were to go to the extremely Yin land, wouldn't he be able to absorb the crystals of law to increase his strength?
His beating heart pounded with fervor at Duan Tiandao's words, and he longed to go to the Land of Extreme Yin immediately.

Seemingly sensing Su Chen's thoughts, Duan Tian Dao laughed and said, "Before returning, I asked that senior, and he told me that as the master of the Yin Soul Land, you can go to the Extreme Yin Land at any time. However, he told you to go as soon as possible because you need his guidance, and he cannot stay in the Extreme Yin Land for too long. Besides that..." (End of this chapter)
