Chapter 68 The Divine Realm, Part 1
The demons, whose combat power had just surged due to the power of the Blood Moon, returned to their original state after a fleeting red light.
After slaying the giant shadow demon,
Without hesitation, Fei Peng gripped the Demon-Suppressing Sword again, his figure transforming into a streak of light barely perceptible to the naked eye, tearing through the sky and heading straight for the old Demon Lord's life.
"Pfft—"
Blood gushed out!
On the brink of life and death, the old Demon Lord reacted hastily in extreme shock, condensing demonic energy into a blade in his palm and holding it in front of him.
However, the demonic blade was formed in an instant and could not withstand the sharpness of the demon-suppressing sword at all!
The sword tip pierced through the defenses, deeply embedding itself in his shoulder, splattering out a crimson flower of blood.
Crimson demonic blood spilled into the void, even causing ripples in the space of the divine realm as the blood droplets corroded it.
The old demon lord retreated rapidly.
Upon landing, his eyes were filled with disbelief and horror as he stared unabashedly at Fei Peng.
He paused for a moment, then unfurled his bone wings, turned and sped off towards the Well of Gods and Demons...
At the same time, a stern order was given, which resounded throughout the battlefield:
"retreat!"
"Return everything to the Well of Gods and Demons!"
Upon receiving the order, the demons who had been frantically attacking the heavenly soldiers and generals retreated like a receding tide.
However, in the blink of an eye, the demonic shadows that had almost engulfed the South Heavenly Gate had all disappeared into the depths of the Well of Gods and Demons.
The speed at which this battle was reversed not only left the people of Kyushu dumbfounded,
Even the Heavenly Emperor and the senior divine generals in the Divine Palace were taken aback.
In their understanding, the Southern Wind God General was already a top-tier combat force in the God Realm.
With the fall of the South Wind, it means that the Silver Moon Demon Lord has risen above all the gods in the divine realm.
But now—
Fei Peng, a newly promoted divine general, actually defeated the Silver Moon Demon Lord?
If I remember correctly
From its birth to the present day, Fei Peng has only existed for a mere ten thousand years?
Above the main hall, the Heavenly Emperor stared blankly in the direction of the Southern Heavenly Gate, muttering to himself as if he were in a dream.
"Refunded?"
"You're just withdrawing like that?"
The gods below also cried out in surprise.
"The old Demon Lord Silver Moon... was actually forced back by General Fei Peng?"
"The demon realm attacked with overwhelming force, yet they were defeated by a single person and a single sword?"
"Is General Fei Peng's strength truly this terrifying?"
Amidst the shocked gazes of the entire hall,
Feipeng, clad in silver armor and with his cloak billowing, descended from the heavens to the main hall, kneeling on one knee, his voice cold and resolute:
"I hereby report to the Heavenly Emperor!"
"The demons who invaded the realm of gods have all fled! I beg your forgiveness; I failed to kill the Demon Lord on the spot, only managing to make him escape wounded!"
These chilling words, like a thunderclap, resounded throughout the hall, causing the Heavenly Emperor and all the gods to tremble violently.
Did they injure the Silver Moon Demon Lord?
Fei Peng not only repelled the demon army, but also severely injured the Demon Lord's true form.
This……
In the history of the divine realm, has there ever been such a heaven-defying god?
"Hahaha!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
On his high throne, the Heavenly Emperor, recovering from his astonishment, burst into laughter, abruptly rose to his feet, and announced with great excitement:
"The bravery of General Fei Peng is unparalleled in the divine realm!"
"Issue my decree!"
"Fei Peng is hereby appointed General of the Southern Heavenly Gate, and bestowed with the title of 'Number One Master in the Divine Realm'!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
……
Deep within the realm of gods,
A magnificent secret realm suspended in the void.
The giant tree reached for the sky, its branches and leaves spreading like clouds, seemingly covering the entire divine realm, its radiance flowing and breathtakingly beautiful.
Under the shade of the trees,
Fei Peng, having removed his armor, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and regulated his breathing to heal his battle wounds.
Although they defeated the old demon lord Silver Moon and forced him to flee wounded,
However, he himself was not unscathed.
but……
The pervasive, omnipresent bloodthirsty aura ultimately left a trace of erosion within his body.
However, beneath this towering divine tree lies a mysterious and indescribable power that quietly heals the wounds in his meridians.
Soon after.
After finishing his meditation, Fei Peng slowly stood up. The silver armor beside him rippled like water and instantly adhered to his body.
He gripped the Demon-Suppressing Sword tightly, about to leave, when suddenly his expression hardened, his cold gaze sweeping into the shadows, and he shouted in a chilling voice:
"Who?"
"So you are the number one expert in the divine realm, personally appointed by the Heavenly Emperor?"
A clear and melodious voice rang out, carrying a hint of innocence and curiosity.
From behind the divine tree, a goddess of unparalleled beauty and otherworldly grace appeared gracefully.
Her feet trod on the dew, her steps were like flowing clouds, and her face was like the first rays of dawn at the beginning of the world.
Those star-like eyes gazed silently at Fei Peng, her voice like a gentle spring dripping onto jade, as she softly said:
"My name is Xi Yao, and I am the guardian of the divine tree."
"Xiyao?"
"The guardian of the sacred tree?"
"This... is this the goddess of the divine realm?"
"Beautiful! Absolutely stunning! How can there be such breathtaking beauty in the world!"
"No—this shouldn't exist in the mortal realm; only the heavens above can nurture such celestial beauty!"
"All the beauties I've seen before pale in comparison to her; they are nothing but withered branches and fallen leaves, utterly vulgar!"
As Xi Yao slowly emerged, her pristine face, untouched by the dust of the world, left the entire realm speechless.
Her beauty transcends ordinary imagination, reaching the deepest part of people's fantasies about the word "perfection".
Even women who prided themselves on their beauty were saddened and ashamed of their inferiority upon seeing her.
Inside the Golden Palace of the Song Dynasty Imperial Palace.
Zhao Gou stared blankly at the figure that appeared in the void, his eyes glazed over, his lips slightly parted, and without regard for Junyi, he blurted out:
"Such a goddess..."
"If I could gain her favor, I would be willing to lock up the entire palace and keep only her!"
In his eyes, Xi Yao's beauty had already surpassed the limits of what mortals could comprehend.
The Tang Dynasty Imperial Court.
Li Shimin sighed softly and shook his head, saying, "Compared to them, all the concubines in my palace are just ordinary beauties."
Before the words were finished—
Yuan Tiangang quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "Your Majesty, please be careful what you say!"
"That is a true god from heaven, and judging from his demeanor, he seems to know the god Fei Peng."
"If we blaspheme the gods and incur Fei Peng's wrath..."
"hiss--"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin felt a chill run down his spine and broke out in a cold sweat.
Even if Xi Yao is no longer alive,
But the tumbleweed still remains!
If the two truly have a past friendship, his dismissive remark today could very well lead to the destruction of the nation!
With a single sword strike, the Tang Dynasty's land was shattered, and countless people perished in the process!
Beiliang Changjie, in front of Yong'an Pawnshop.
Yaoyue's gaze was fixed on Xiyao in the divine shadow, her heart filled with shame.
Once upon a time, she considered herself to be exceptionally beautiful, like a banished immortal, attracting the hearts of countless heroes.
Looking at it now—
Compared to Xi Yao, it is but a mortal flower compared to the bright moon, as different as mud from clouds!
Above the nine heavens, within the celestial canopy.
After the initial pleasantries, Xi Yao and Fei Peng sat side by side under the divine tree, speaking softly, sometimes whispering, sometimes remaining silent.
A moment later, Fei Peng got up and left, heading to the South Heavenly Gate to guard the Well of Gods and Demons.
Xi Yao watched his departing figure, her jade feet lightly touching the ground, her pearly teeth gently biting her lower lip, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashing between her brows.
That fleeting expression sent shockwaves through the hearts of all living beings in the Nine Provinces, leaving them unable to calm down for a long time.
From then on, Fei Peng was revered as the first war god of the divine realm, guarding the South Heavenly Gate and the Well of Gods and Demons.
The demons have repeatedly invaded, attempting to break through the boundary and enter.
Without exception, they were all suppressed by Fei Peng!
Furthermore, as time went on,
Fei Peng's combat power is becoming increasingly astonishing; while the Silver Moon Demon Lord, who could once shake him in the slightest, is now even more formidable.
Even if all the demons in the demon realm were gathered together, they would still find it difficult to get close to him!
Every attack ended in a crushing defeat.
On one occasion, Fei Peng seized an opening, launched a counterattack deep into the Demon Realm, and almost killed him on the spot!
Whenever Fei Peng was wounded in a fierce battle, he would always return to the sacred tree to heal.
And each time, Xi Yao would appear quietly.
Under a tree, the two talked more and more, their hearts were connected, and feelings began to grow between them.
After that, whenever he had free time, Fei Peng would quietly appear under the divine tree, find Xi Yao, sit with her side by side, and watch together the changing winds and clouds of the divine realm and the vicissitudes of life.
This sight, once seen by everyone, sent a chill down the spines of countless people throughout the Nine Provinces who had harbored fantasies about Xi Yao or even spoken frivolously about her, causing them to break out in a cold sweat.
If one were not blind, who wouldn't see that there was already an undercurrent of passion between Fei Peng, the second-ranked general on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking, and Xi Yao, the aloof and solitary goddess?
Even more so, given this trend, it's inevitable that the two will eventually join hands and embark on the road ahead together!
And they had previously dared to ridicule and joke about the person Fei Peng was in love with.
This……
Isn't that just courting death? Are they tired of living?
As Fei Peng's past achievements appeared one by one between heaven and earth, the shock and fear in the hearts of the people of Kyushu rose like a tide.
"The Silver Moon Demon Lord... is now completely unable to contend with General Fei Peng!"
"That's right! He used to be able to injure even a divine general, but now, only by gathering the power of the entire demon realm can we barely repel him!"
"It's strange, the Silver Moon Demon Lord doesn't seem to have invaded the realm of gods for quite some time now?"
"Even the Silver Moon Demon Lord was defeated. Could General Fei Peng truly be the number one person in the Six Realms now?"
"With such unparalleled fighting power protecting the divine realm, why did the divine realm ultimately perish and the royal power vanish?"
"Yes...it's truly hard to understand why the Six Realms would completely collapse?"
"Could it be... that there exists something even stronger than General Fei Peng?"
"Yes! General Fei Peng is only ranked second on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking. Above him, there is someone who surpasses him!"
"Hiss—I'm only now realizing that Fei Peng, whose strength has reached such a terrifying level, is still not the strongest in the world?"
People were abuzz with discussion, their astonishment and doubts intertwined, enveloping the entire land.
At that very moment, the image reflected in the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking began to fluctuate once again.
The peaceful and serene divine realm was suddenly shattered.
On this day, Xi Yao and Fei Peng were whispering and talking under the divine tree.
Suddenly, a violent demonic aura, intertwined with black and red, shot into the sky from the direction of the South Heavenly Gate!
Crimson lightning bolts exploded in the sky, and a suffocating aura spread like an abyss, instantly engulfing the entire divine realm!
Fei Peng's gaze narrowed slightly. He glanced at Xi Yao, then his figure transformed into a streak of silver light, tearing through the sky and heading straight for the South Heavenly Gate.
Before it even landed, a blood-red blade of light pierced through the air, its sharpness unmatched, and it actually cleaved the void of the divine realm in two!
With a quick glance, he flicked his wrist, the Demon-Suppressing Sword blocking his chest.
"when--"
Crimson demonic energy bombarded the sword, causing the space to tremble violently. The sword's edge trembled slightly, yet it steadily tore through the blade's edge. Fei Peng used the momentum to land in front of the Southern Heavenly Gate.
His gaze swept over the broken armor and halberds scattered on the ground. Thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals had been slaughtered. His expression gradually darkened, becoming cold and stern.
Without a word, the Demon-Suppressing Sword was raised high, and a fierce sword intent slashed out!
"when--"
The demonic sword is drawn.
A tall man with long red hair and two horns on his forehead stepped through the air, and two blood-red demonic blades shot out from behind his arms, crossing to meet the attack.
