Just how many years had the Drunkard spent in the God Realm Ceremony?
This point, even Qin Shi did not know. The drunkard himself did not know either.
There was no concept of time in the God Realm. The Drunkard only knew that he'd been there longer than the Dazzling Divine Sword.
The Dazzling Divine Sword was sealed inside, and the artifact spirit became the Son of God, controlling the Drunkard. Otherwise, the Drunkard would've been the strongest existence in the God Realm. He'd met many people inside, and every one of them had once been almighty beings who could shake the world with a stomp of their feet.
"Since Senior Drunkard is an expert in the God Realm, we just need to find out where that Heavenly Secret is," said Autumn Water.
Ling Xiao nodded, then slowly reached out with one hand. "Break!"
Bang!
Suddenly, an enormous force punched a hole in the Forbidden Zone's Heaven-Sealing Grand Formation.
Rumble!
The moment this hole appeared, the entire Forbidden Region trembled violently. The Forbidden Region was located in a basin, and it was surrounded by four tall mountains that were as black as iron, forming a formation that protected the Forbidden Region. The Great Sky Sealing Formation was also created by four iron mountains. Therefore, when Ling Xiao's finger pierced through it, cracks quickly appeared on the four black iron mountains before they collapsed.
"Who goes there?
How dare you invade our Forbidden Realm?! "The Forbidden Realm Elders fighting inside had gloomy expressions.
When they saw Ling Xiao, the Drunkard, Jing Cai, Autumn Water, and the others, their expressions became unnatural. "It's the Qin Sect?"
"We're called the Alliance Against Upheaval now!"
Said one of the Forbidden Zone Elders. "I didn't think they'd attack our Forbidden Zone!"
"Forbidden Zone, we've come on the Alliance Leader's orders. Everyone in the Forbidden Zone, give up resisting. Alliance Leader, please let bygones be bygones and spare our lives. Otherwise, die." Ling Xiao clasped his hands behind his back, then leaned forward and floated into the Forbidden Zone.
Ling Xiao's voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the entire Forbidden Zone. It was loud enough for all the disciples to hear.
The elders of the Forbidden Realm who were fighting for the position of Domain Lord immediately became serious. Their old faces twitched. "Sect Qin, aren't you all being too nosy?"
"That's right, our Territorial Lord died in your hands, and now you dare to come here on your own accord." One of the elders revealed his fierce fangs. "Then today, I will avenge our Territorial Lord!"
The Elders looked at each other and said, "Let's put aside the Domain Lord position for now. Let's join forces and fight against the enemy first. After we destroy them, we can consider who will be the Domain Lord. What do you think?"
The other Elders grinned, "Of course. Those who dare to invade our Forbidden Zone will not be able to return today."
Immediately, several elders from the Forbidden Region revealed ferocious smiles. They were extremely powerful. Due to the corrosion of the baleful aura for ten years, they had all reached the peak of the World Realm.
"Forbidden Heaven Slash!"
An elder from the Forbidden Region immediately took action. With a wave of his sleeve, the air seemed to be sealed. After that, the elder clenched his fist, as if the air in his hand had turned into a sharp blade. He slashed at Jing Cai through the air.
"Desolate Rock Art!"
Jing Cai coldly snorted. He stomped his feet and the sand and stones on the ground immediately melted, turning into a sea of sand. Within the sea of sand, there was an extremely terrifying desolate aura. It suddenly turned into a dragon filled with the power of desolation. It rose from the ground and clashed with the silver slash.
Bang!
When the two extraordinary forces collided, a huge vortex was formed, tearing apart the void and devouring a lot of air.
As they melted, the two energies disappeared from the world. In the next instant, the elder leapt up and walked in the air. The air blade in his hand was formless and colorless. However, one could feel its sharpness upon approaching, causing Jing Cai to immediately fall into a passive state. His body rapidly retreated backwards.
The more Jing Cai dodged, the more excited the elder became. "Jing Cai, ten years ago, I wasn't your opponent. You didn't expect that ten years later, you would only be able to escape from my hands, right?"
Jing Cai's old eyes narrowed. "The Forbidden Region colluded with the Ominous Demon to cultivate this evil technique. What is there to be proud of?"
"Whether it's evil technique or righteous energy, no one in this world cares. In the end, only the winner will be remembered by the world."
The elder grinned excitedly and said, "Besides, if I remember correctly, didn't your so-called Alliance Master also cultivate the Devil Race's evil techniques?
Compared to him, we are still far from it. "
"The Alliance Master is different from you guys!"
"We are all foxes from the same mountain. Why are we singing strange tales here? It's just that we are more direct. We admit that we are not like your Alliance Master, who colluded with the Ominous Demon and pretended to be righteous. How laughable."
"Jing Cai, don't talk nonsense with them. I will join forces with you to destroy him."
Autumn Water's eyes rippled with a faint halo. Her slender fingers moved slightly, and an extremely sorrowful power shrouded the area, transforming into a shadow that looked like an Ashura. It was black and white, and in the midst of the black and white, it gave off an extremely oppressive feeling. Even some experts whose strength had not reached the World Realm had a feeling of suffocation.
"In the end, the power of Purgatory is not a righteous technique." The Forbidden Region Elder sneered.
"Is that so?"
Autumn Water smiled slyly. Her hands suddenly intertwined to form a hexagram boundary. "Purgatory power, dawn!"
Suddenly, a completely different power appeared in the power of suffering that enveloped the sky above the Forbidden Region. That power symbolized the birth of life, hope, and dawn. As the black and white alternated, the black was gradually dyed by the white. Then, that power immediately turned into countless impact forces that fiercely hit the Elder.
Bang!
The Elder's eyes widened, and his mouth was immediately filled with a sweet taste. He glared at Autumn Water fiercely. "What is this power? Purgatory power should be the power of suffering. Why does it have such a powerful impact and shock?"
Jing Cai could not help but exclaim in admiration when he saw the blossoming Refining Domain Energy. With a faint smile, he said, "This is the true Purgatory Energy. It is a kind of dawn energy that is extracted from pain and suffering. There is a huge difference between it and the so-called evil arts that you speak of."
"Bastard!" The Forbidden Region Elder cursed.
"Senior Drunkard, let's make our move as well. The Alliance Leader guessed that the Chaotic Domain, Wind Region, and Blazing Domain might also have their eyes on the Forbidden Region. So, let's make our move first. Otherwise, if the other three domains join in, things will become very troublesome."
The Drunkard grabbed the wine gourd and drank a mouthful of strong wine. Only then did he straightforwardly nod his head. "Yes, I'll make my move first. I'll kill these little kids. However, if it's possible, try to spare the lives of the disciples of the Forbidden Region who haven't been infected by the curse. In the past, I promised Jin Tian that if I have a chance to leave the Divine Domain, I'll help him take care of the Forbidden Region. I just didn't expect that the Forbidden Region would actually go down such a wrong path."
"That's only natural. The Alliance Leader also thinks so. He doesn't want to cause too much slaughter in the human world. From his point of view, the human world is ultimately a single race and should be united. It's just that those who have been imprinted by the Demonic Curse can no longer be considered human. They must die. Otherwise, they will become hidden dangers sooner or later." Ling Xiao nodded.
The Drunkard placed the wine gourd down. "What a good mouthful of strong wine!
Nice! "
After saying that, the drunkard threw the wine gourd into the air. His body immediately leaped up. He was wearing a brown tattered robe, and he sent a palm strike through the void towards an elder of the forbidden zone.
Bang!
Before the Elders of the Forbidden Region could recover from their shock, their defenses were shattered by the Drunkard's palm.
Boom!
A minor completion World Realm Elder's heart was pierced through, causing the other Elders of the Forbidden Region to be shocked. "Damn it, he's the Qin Sect's Drunkard?
I didn't expect that he would personally make a move? "
All the Elders of the Forbidden Region turned solemn.
"Yes, is this the power of a Transcendent Realm expert?
We aren't his match. "Several Elders were unwilling to give up.
"Qin Sect, do you really want to take things to the extreme?"
"I've said it before. Everyone in the Forbidden Region who hasn't been infected by the curse, surrender immediately and we'll spare your lives. Otherwise, you can only die."
When Ling Xiao said that, he paused and looked at the Elders who were neither human nor demon. "As for you guys, you've betrayed humanity. You don't even have the qualifications to beg for mercy from the Qin Sect. The Alliance Master has ordered that you must die."
"Bastard!" The Elders of the Forbidden Region were vexed.
"Destroy!"
The Drunkard stretched out a skinny old hand, and the Elders of the Forbidden Region were crushed by a huge wave of wine Qi.
Soon, only the disciples who hadn't been infected by the curse were left in the Forbidden Region.
"I'll give you one last chance. Surrender or die," said Ling Xiao indifferently.
One of the Elders suddenly let out a long sigh and bitterly smiled. "Everyone, surrender. Back then, the Domain Master was the one who went astray. The Human World belongs to the human race. Evil will never prevail over good. Everyone, don't struggle pointlessly."
Finally, the disciples of the Forbidden Region started to give up their weapons and chose to surrender.
When Autumn Water saw this scene, she said, "Now that the Forbidden Region has surrendered, we just need to find the seal of the Heaven's Secret in the Forbidden Region."
"Yes, but this won't be easy. Lin Xiao and all the Elders of the Forbidden Region have died in battle. Now, there are only a few people who know the seal of the Heaven's Secret. Even if they know, they might not tell us," said Ling Xiao solemnly.
At this moment, a thin figure rose into the sky. "If you guys want to find the seal of the Heaven's Secret, I can bring you there."
"You know the seal of the Heaven's Secret?" Hearing this disciple's words, Ling Xiao and the others frowned.
The disciple faintly smiled and nodded. "Yes. Moreover, during the God Realm Ceremony, Alliance Master Qin Shi was my benefactor. He was the one who saved me from the Dragon Regiment's Sealing Heavens Forbidden Soul Technique. So, I hope to repay him now."
"It's you?"
Suddenly, Haoyue, who was following the crowd, frowned. She immediately remembered that during the God Realm Ceremony, when Qin Shi fought against the Forbidden Region's Dragon Regiment, Zi Lingsha killed Long Yuan with a single palm strike. After that, the Dragon Regiment disciples were rescued. Wasn't that the disciple in front of them?
