Countless purple demon runes shot up into the sky, forming an impenetrable barrier before Qin Zhanyu.
The next moment, the runes shook violently—but never shattered.
Qin Zhanyu glanced down at the circular pendant at her throat.
“Trying to drag me into an illusion realm? How naïve!”
Ye Yu remained silent, though he could hardly conceal his astonishment: even the Thousand Dreams Illusion could be stopped.
It was clear that the circular jade pendant around Qin Zhanyu’s neck was a rare treasure. No wonder the Lord of the Demon Realm Sanctuary would carry such a high-grade demon artifact.
Just then, the blood-soaked brothers Zhuo Kong and Zhuo Yi arrived at Ye Yu’s side. They reported that every enemy within the sanctuary had been eliminated, and the three demon envoys controlled by the Divine Heart Control Technique had fallen in battle.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yu’s expression grew grave. All the enemies defeated? That sounded impossible. According to the Soul-Summoning Banner’s tally, it had only devoured thirty-odd souls—barely an appetizer. Yet the sanctuary boasted over a hundred Sacred Envoys, and all Eight Elders had awakened. Where had they gone? Even discounting Huang Zhufeng, there were still seven Elders unaccounted for. They couldn’t all be in retreat when the sanctuary lay in ruins.
After a moment’s thought, Ye Yu turned his gaze to Qin Zhanyu. “It seems your sanctuary has been quite busy. So many Elders and Envoys are absent, leaving only this handful. What have they been doing?”
Her fingertip twitched as she sketched several demon runes in midair. With a single palm strike, the runes shot forward.
Ye Yu met her head-on and ordered Zhuo Kong and Zhuo Yi, “Take Yue Wanqiu outside. This fight isn’t for them—they should clear the area!”
With a thunderous roar, the sanctuary’s interior began to collapse under their clash. Neither held back; countless demon artifacts and treasures emerged as they fought. But Qin Zhanyu, as Sanctuary Lord, commanded the power of demon runes and cultivated at a higher level than Ye Yu. Slowly, she gained the upper hand.
Realizing he couldn’t continue like this, Ye Yu created some distance, then summoned Qing Ci with a thought.
After many days apart, she looked far more vibrant—no longer the frail beauty she once was.
“Master, why summon me today?”
“To kill a demon.”
His answer was simple. He raised his right hand, and Qing Ci nodded, “Understood.”
As their hands clasped, the Qian Kun Rebirth Staff (the Imperial Measuring Rod of Rebirth) appeared. In that instant, a surging wave of immortal power swept the entire hall.
As Lord of the Demon Realm Sanctuary, she recognized legendary treasures—and the Tiandao Imperial Weapon was certainly one of them.
He swung the staff forward. For the first time wielding the Tiandao Imperial Weapon, he was eager to test its might.
Immortal power poured from his body like a tidal wave—draining faster than he ever imagined a Sovereign Realm cultivator’s reserves could. Yet the Qian Kun Rebirth Staff lived up to its reputation. Everything in its path—Qin Zhanyu, the shattered stones of the sanctuary—turned starkly black and white, contrasting sharply with the surrounding ruins.
Within moments, a true vacuum opened before Ye Yu: a space of absolute nothingness, as if all had vanished into void. This was the true power of the Tiandao Imperial Weapon—terrifying indeed.
