This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Li Daoxuan was suddenly startled, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

The terrifying being remained silent, merely gazing intently at Li Daoxuan as if trying to see through him.

This state did not last long, but for Li Daoxuan it felt like thousands of years had passed.

Finally, the other person withdrew their gaze.

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"As expected, they are not from this time and space. The mysteries of creation, the truth and the falsehood, are quite interesting..."

Upon hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

This terrifying entity didn't seem to want to crush them, but rather to probe their background.

Only Li Daoxuan was unaware that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

He was almost certain that the man's words were not directed at anyone present, but were only directed at him, Li Daoxuan.

In other words, this person actually saw through his deepest secret...

"Fine, go ahead and do as you please..."

Those eyes slowly faded away, while the large hands that had been protecting them suddenly clenched together.

With an overwhelming force, it seemed poised to crush them into mincemeat.

Everyone, including Li Daoxuan, was shocked and felt certain that they were going to die.

But in the blink of an eye, everything seemed to spin and the world changed drastically, and the surroundings were completely different.

"Oh no...it's all over..."

"don't want..."

Some people were still reeling from the oppressive force of the suddenly closing hands and were crying out for help.

Some people looked around blankly, asking in confusion:

"What happened? Are we...dead?"

Even a martial god would find it difficult to maintain composure when faced with such an existence.

Not to mention them, even the Heavenly Emperor and his companions initially thought they had already died at the hands of that terrifying being.

Li Daoxuan calmed himself down and let out a long sigh.

He said in a deep voice:

"We're still alive, we're not dead yet..."

The Heavenly Emperor looked around and at the ground beneath his feet, which was composed of countless rays of light, and exclaimed in delight:

"The Ancient Path of Xuanhuang...we've returned to the Ancient Path of Xuanhuang..."

Only then did everyone realize that the being had not intended to crush them, but rather to send them out of that devastated land and back to the time and space where they should have existed.

Suddenly, the Divine Venerable Ziying spoke:

"The internal energy within me is still depleted, which means... we actually went to the Immortal Ancient Battlefield in our true forms..."

Upon hearing this, even the Heavenly Emperor couldn't help but tremble.

Let's not even talk about the fact that the Immortal Ancient Battlefield is at least several million years old.

Just recalling the cataclysmic destruction of that final scene was enough to send shivers down their spines.

If their original bodies went to the Immortal Ancient Battlefield, and they died there, would they really be dead?

Most of the Earth Immortals and Martial Gods who were teleported there in the same batch died in battle. Even the two Quasi-Emperors from Wuliang Immortal Mountain and the Primordial God Clan died in battle. Did they all die completely in the Immortal Ancient Era?

No one dared to think too much about it.

Gradually, people began to turn their attention to Li Daoxuan.

His eyes were full of gratitude.

If it weren't for Li Daoxuan's Daoist treasure protecting them, they probably would all be gone by now...

The Heavenly Emperor and the others also turned their gazes to Li Daoxuan, expressing their gratitude:

"Master Li, we are so grateful to you this time, otherwise we would probably have been completely wiped out..."

Ziying God and Chang Geng also nodded to Li Daoxuan with kind eyes to show their gratitude.

Only the Ancestor Sikong Shuo kept his head down, his gaze extremely gloomy.

If he had known this would be the outcome, he wouldn't have abandoned those Earth Immortals and Martial Gods of the Silent God Dynasty.

Now, things have turned out badly. Of the dozen or so people from the Silent Divine Dynasty, all but him perished in the Immortal Ancient Battlefield.

Those dozen or so were all pillars of the Annihilation Divine Dynasty, and they're all dead...

This was undoubtedly a devastating blow to the Silent Divine Dynasty.

Feeling the grateful gazes of the crowd, Li Daoxuan smiled and shook his head, saying:

"There's no need for that, everyone. Perhaps the truth is not as we imagine."

"and..."

Before Li Daoxuan could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he stood still.

Seeing this, Qingfeng, Mingyue, and the others assumed that their master had been injured in the Immortal Ancient Battlefield and quickly asked:

Before Li Daoxuan could speak, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling beam of profound yellow merit shot up from his body and into the endless sea of ​​stars.

Everyone was shocked, not knowing what had happened.

Just as the Heavenly Emperor and the others were wondering, another beam of Xuanhuang merit light shot into the sky.

It was Qingfeng, who served Li Daoxuan.

Immediately afterwards, the golden light of Xuanhuang merit seemed to spread like a contagious disease, erupting from everyone present one after another.

For a moment, a strange scene unfolded at the scene.

Each person was like a dazzling lantern, radiating brilliant and illuminating light, standing motionless in place.

If an outsider were present at this moment, they would be able to see that although everyone was radiating golden light of merit, the intensity of the light on each person was still different.

Li Daoxuan was like a blazing sun, dazzling and impossible to look directly at.

Secondly, there were the Heavenly Emperor and several other quasi-emperors, who were equally brilliant, but noticeably less so than Li Daoxuan.

Just as everyone was immersed in the golden light of Xuanhuang merit, wisps of visible aura rose from the Xuanhuang Ancient Road beneath their feet.

These auras are full of vitality and spiritual energy, containing unimaginable power.

After separating from the Xuanhuang Ancient Path, it spontaneously burrowed into everyone's bodies.

Most people only receive one wisp of energy, while some people with abundant Xuanhuang merit and golden light can receive two or three wisps.

Ziying God, Chang Geng, and Sikong Shuo each received six strands.

The Heavenly Emperor has one more strand than them, having seven strands.

Surprisingly, Qingfeng, Mingyue, Zhujiu, and Wang Jingshu also received seven strands, the same number as the Heavenly Emperor.

However, Li Daoxuan, whose Xuanhuang Merit Golden Light was the most dazzling, had nine strands.

After these energies entered their bodies, everyone discovered that the power that had been exhausted within them began to recover rapidly.

Whether it was the Heavenly Emperor and Li Daoxuan, who were at the quasi-emperor level, or even the weakest Earth Immortals, they all recovered to their peak level in just over ten breaths.

Moreover, everyone felt that their foundation in cultivation had taken another step forward.

It's as if his potential has been enhanced and his aptitude has been improved.

Everyone was overjoyed when they woke up.

Although the trip was extremely dangerous, the final reward was unexpectedly generous.

"We never imagined that from this day forward we would be blessed with extraordinary merit, enjoying endless good fortune and smooth sailing in everything we do..."

Someone couldn't help but sigh.

"Not only that, the last wisp of energy is the real treasure. That is the primordial spiritual energy. Just one wisp is enough to create a spiritual vein."

"Our bodies have been transformed by the original spiritual energy, and our constitutions are already quite different."

"In the future, there will be almost no more obstacles on the path of cultivation. Even if I don't become an emperor, I can at least cultivate to become a martial god..."

Everyone was overjoyed; such an opportunity made their risky trip worthwhile.

However, the Ancestor of Annihilation did not seem very satisfied, even though the baptism of primordial spiritual energy had increased his lifespan to some extent.

But at his level, his only wish was to break through to the Quasi-Emperor realm and become an Emperor.

Although the primordial spiritual energy was precious, it was not enough for him to break through to the Great Emperor level.

"Isn't it said that the end of the Xuanhuang Ancient Road is the origin of the Xuanhuang Great World? It seems there's still a long way to go..."
