Clan Cultivation: Starting from Foundation Establishment on Mount Luoxia

The Moonlight Blade, powerful enough to kill an ordinary early-stage Golden Core cultivator, shattered inch by inch at his fingertips, turning into streaks of light and dissipating.

He didn't even take a step back, nor did he use any supernatural powers; with just a light touch, he neutralized the fatal blow.

The elemental lord's pupils contracted slightly.

She sensed it.

The Dark Abyss Demon Lord's strength far exceeded her expectations.

The eight Demon Ruins Hearts were connected to him, giving him almost limitless power here.

As for herself, her mid-stage Golden Core realm was not very stable to begin with. Although she had devoted herself to cultivation over the years, there was still a considerable gap between her and the true peak of the mid-stage Golden Core realm.

The Dark Abyss Demon Lord looked at her with a mocking gaze.

"Elements, do you know where the gap lies between you and me?"

The Elemental Lord remained silent.

The Dark Abyss Demon Lord said to himself, "It's not about realm, magic power, or supernatural abilities. It's because you're too pure."

He raised his hand and pointed to the eight slowly pulsating Demon Ruins Hearts.

"I have been operating here for 30,000 years. Each of these eight demonic ruins has devoured the origin of at least five minor worlds."

"I am connected to them; they are me, and I am them."

"What do you have to fight me with?"

The Elemental Lord remained silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

That smile was as cold and aloof as the moon, carrying a clear hint of mockery.

"Dark Abyss, after all you've said, aren't you just trying to tell me—you're very strong?"

The Dark Abyss Demon Lord raised an eyebrow slightly.

The Elemental Lord continued, "But if you're so strong, why have you been hiding here for 30,000 years, afraid to go out?"

Dark Abyss Demon Lord's expression darkened slightly.

"I am waiting—"

"What are you waiting for?"

The Elemental Lord interrupted him, "Wait until these eight Demonic Ruins mature? Or wait until you break through to the Nascent Soul stage yourself?"

She raised her hand and pointed to the distant void where a fierce battle was taking place.

"Pingyu fought three against one and still held his own. What about you?"

Even if you rely on your great formation to fight me, you will only have a slight advantage.

"Without these eight demonic ruins, how can you fight Pingyu?"

The Dark Abyss Demon Lord's face darkened completely.

The Elemental Lord seemed not to see this and continued:

"Dark Abyss, are you afraid?"

"You're afraid that if you go out, you'll be surrounded and killed by the True Lords of the Immortal Sect."

You're afraid that if you leave these eight demonic ruins, you'll be nothing. You're afraid—"

She paused, then said, word by word:

"You're afraid of Minghuang."

"shut up!"

The Dark Abyss Demon Lord suddenly flew into a rage!

The black chains around him danced wildly, and the eight Demonic Ruins Hearts throbbed violently at the same time!

A massive surge of black demonic energy erupted from the throne, pressing down fiercely on the Elemental Lord!

The Elemental Lord grunted, and the nine illusory moons exploded simultaneously, sending him flying back a hundred feet!

Her face was pale, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth.

But she was still smiling.

"What's wrong? Did I touch a nerve?"

The Dark Abyss Demon Lord stared intently at her, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.

"Element, who do you think you are?"

"A Golden Core cultivator in an unstable mid-stage dares to challenge me?"

"Let Minghuang come!!!"

He slowly rose from the throne, his demonic aura growing increasingly dense, almost solidifying into a tangible form.

The eight Demonic Ruins Hearts simultaneously erupted with blinding black light, and countless black chains surged from all directions, attempting to completely annihilate the Elemental True Monarch!

The Elemental Lord's expression was solemn. He activated the Moonlight to its fullest extent, but it was no match for the overwhelming onslaught.

She could barely protect herself, but she was unable to fight back, let alone protect the three junior disciples behind her.

The gap is too big.

At that very moment—

A gentle voice suddenly rang out in the void.

"Dark Abyss, 30,000 years have passed, and your temper hasn't changed at all."

The Dark Abyss Demon Lord froze.

The countless black chains, as if under a spell, were suspended in the void, unable to move forward or backward an inch.

In the distance, the void where the fierce battle was taking place suddenly fell silent.

Pingyu Qingxu and the old man in black robes stopped fighting at the same time and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

For the first time, a clear look of fear appeared on the old man's face.

Then--

Its daybreak.

In this eternal grayness and deathly silence, a light shone from the void.

The light was initially just a single point, like the most distant morning star before dawn.

But in the next instant, it exploded with a roar, transforming into a vast golden sea of ​​light that swept across the entire void!

The eight Demon Ruins Hearts trembled simultaneously, emitting terrified wails.

The black demonic energy melted and disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The twisted runes flickered wildly, but they could not resist the erosion of the golden sea of ​​light.

The void trembled, cheered, and welcomed its master.

A figure slowly emerged from the golden sea of ​​light.

He was a middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe with a refined appearance.

His hair was jet black, casually draped over his shoulders.

His eyes were as bright as stars, yet as gentle as a spring breeze.

A faint smile played on his lips, a smile devoid of murderous intent or oppressive power, but instead conveying a sense of warmth, as if he were seeing an old friend.

He showed no signs of breathing.

But the moment he appeared, the entire void bowed to him.

The eight demonic ruins ceased to beat.

The countless black chains shattered inch by inch.

The darkness and deathly silence that had shrouded this place for 30,000 years vanished with a roar, like a torn rag.

Instead, there is boundless light and warmth.

True Lord Minghuang.

Li Xiaoyao stared blankly at the figure, his mind completely blank.

He had witnessed the unfathomable depths of the True Lord of Pingyu, the cold, moonlit radiance of the True Lord of Elements, and the overwhelming demonic power of the Demon Lord of the Dark Abyss.

But at this moment, he realized what true "terror" really meant.

That's not a realm, not a level, but a completely different dimension.

It's like an ordinary person gazing at the starry sky, unaware of how far away it is; or someone in the Purple Palace gazing at the Golden Elixir, unaware of how powerful it is.

But the moment True Lord Minghuang appeared, he suddenly understood—

This is the true "heaven".

The Dark Abyss Demon Lord stood frozen in place.

He stared intently at the figure in blue, his lips trembling, and after a long while, he finally uttered a few words:

"Minghuang... how could you... didn't you break through the Dao Embryo stage and enter a period of seclusion...?"

True Monarch Minghuang smiled slightly, a smile as gentle as a spring breeze, yet it caused Demon Lord Anyuan to involuntarily take a step back.

"The Dark Abyss has been here for 30,000 years."

He spoke, his voice calm and composed.

"I'll take you home."

The sound echoed in the void, and the golden sea of ​​light rippled gently in response.

In the distance, the old man in black robes suddenly let out a shrill scream and turned to flee!

He tore through the void and desperately fled into the distance!

True Lord Minghuang didn't even glance at him.

He simply raised his hand slightly and pointed in that direction.

"puff."

A golden light flashed.

The figure of the old man in black robes, along with the void he tore apart, instantly vanished into nothingness.

Early stage of Golden Elixir.

Sold out instantly.

Minghuang Zhenjun withdrew his hand, still looking at Anyuan Mojun, his smile remaining gentle.

"Dark Abyss, it's been 30,000 years. It's time to go home."
