Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 594: Meeting at the Demon Race Battlefield

The scene was very quiet. All eyes were on Chen Pingping, waiting for his answer, but he remained silent for a long time. This silence made everyone realize the problem: he had failed.

Forging a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon at the Saint Realm was, after all, just a joke.

But no one dared to laugh at Chen Pingping. Since ancient times, no one had ever attempted such a feat. Chen Pingping didn't just try; he even drew many powerful enemies to act, which said it all.

In defeat, there was still honor.

"It's such a pity," Cang Yun said softly. "Had a Saint Realm powerhouse forged an Emperor Weapon, they would have made history, astonishing the Heavens and all realms."

"That would have attracted even more powerful enemies."

"Exactly..."

The crowd discussed amongst themselves.

Only Liu Changqing and Alan remained silent, looking at each other. They felt that something was amiss.

Chen Pingping had emerged from the Heaven Tao Stone looking completely different. Not to mention the astonishing vitality within his body, his realm had seemingly advanced a great deal. The feeling was one of returning to primal simplicity, to one's true self.

Inside the Wuji Sect, a group of people exhaled deeply, their faces filled with regret. "In the end, it's a failure. We thought we'd witness a miracle."

"Alas..."

"But without the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon, how can we face the Demon Emperor?"

They were fraught with worry.

Yu Changfeng strode over, patted his shoulder, and said nothing. He understood that feeling of failure all too well.

Wen Qingshan murmured to himself, "This might be for the best. After all, if someone at the Saint Realm were to forge an Emperor Weapon, it would be too terrifying."

A grand spectacle had thus come to an end.

「」

「On the lands of the Western Wilderness.」

Li Qi had waited a long time, but not seeing the Heavenly Dao catastrophe descend, he asked with a tinge of bitterness, "Has it failed?"

Guang Xiaoyu frowned. She also felt that something was amiss. Forging a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon, whether successful or not, should trigger the Heavenly Dao catastrophe. Yet... the land of the Southern Diaspora was too calm. Could it be that Senior Brother has truly failed? She didn't believe it. The Chen Pingping she knew never failed once he set his mind on something. There had to be something more to this.

Yun Ze's voice trembled from the side, "Senior? It's all over. Can we leave now?"

Guang Xiaoyu glanced over. "Scram!"

"Yes, right away!" Yun Ze forced a smile and quickly fled the place.

"Xiao Yu, has Master failed?" Li Qi asked, finding it hard to believe. Such a grand spectacle, a forging watched by multitudes... and it all failed.

Guang Xiaoyu shook her head. "No, Senior Brother would not fail so easily."

Li Qi asked, "So what now?"

"To the Demon Race battlefield." Guang Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes, then took Li Qi and the Emperor Spirit, and strode away.

「」

「On the Demon Race battlefield, the fighting had long since ended.」

The more than ten thousand Demon Race powerhouses—from the Mu Clan, the Snake Demon Clan, the Qin Family—had all perished at Zi Ji's hands, devoured by the Devouring Sky Beast.

There were no skeletons on this land, only cracked old earth, stained with blood and dust. Even the breeze that blew was tinged with the scent of blood.

The only surviving Demon Race powerhouse was Crimson Mulberry.

She had witnessed this terrifying slaughter.

That petite, slender figure, wielding her power, swept through countless Demon Race powerhouses. An old hen manifested Taoist techniques and set up an array; an old ox, with a stomp of its massive hoof, unleashed astonishing Sword Dao. And that tiny furball, with a single gulp from its opened mouth, devoured all the demon corpses.

These scenes unfolding before her were astounding, so shocking they threw Crimson Mulberry's mind into turmoil. She couldn't accept it. It was too terrifying! How could such creatures exist in this world?

When the Alliance experts arrived, all they could see were vast, caved-in fissures in the earth and the pervasive stench of blood hanging in the air. Their instincts told them all the Demon Race powerhouses were dead.

Not far away, on the dust-laden land, several figures stood quietly. Jiang Ni'er appeared calm. Zi Ji blinked. Crimson Mulberry stood dumbstruck. Lao Huang, the Eight Treasures Chicken, the Earth Chicken, and Mao Qiu rested quietly to one side. This strange assembly now looked even stranger.

A group of Alliance experts were as silent as cicadas in winter, staring blankly, utterly stunned.

ROAR!

From the distant land, an earth-shattering roar resounded.

A tall figure was sprinting towards them at great speed, causing the ground beneath their feet to tremble and sway. The Alliance experts immediately went on high alert, as if facing a great enemy, thinking another Demon Race powerhouse had arrived.

"Little Martial Aunt!" Li Qi shouted from afar.

Hm?

Zi Ji's eyes lit up with joy. If Li Qi is here, that means Elder Sister is here too... Perfect!

ROAR!

The Emperor Spirit let out another furious roar, its imposing frame gradually coming into view. It was exceptionally majestic, its flawless white fur swaying in the breeze, exuding a remarkable spiritual aura.

"This?"

"A Spiritual Beast?"

"What a magnificent Spiritual Beast."

"Is it also from the Qingfeng branch?" The Alliance experts were stunned, their hearts trembling.

Such a majestic Emperor Spirit was clearly a high-grade Spiritual Beast, far beyond what small animals like Lao Huang, the Earth Chicken, and Mao Qiu could compare to. Could a high-ranking member of the Wuji Sect have come to their aid? They kept their eyes fixed in that direction.

The Emperor Spirit was very fast and soon reached them. It began to slow down, its unusual eyes flashed, ready to let out another roar to announce its presence. However, it met Lao Huang's gaze and instantly fell silent.

Many Alliance experts witnessed this, puzzled as to why it had stopped roaring.

As it drew closer, they finally saw clearly the two figures on the Emperor Spirit's shoulders: a young man and a young woman, both very young.

Zi Ji smiled radiantly. "Elder Sister."

Li Qi felt a pang of frustration. "Little Martial Aunt, I was calling *you* just now!"

"I heard you," Zi Ji responded.

And? You heard me but didn't respond? Li Qi was speechless. This was blatant favoritism! His standing was plummeting. At this rate, he'd soon rank lower than that Eight Treasures Chicken.

The nearby Alliance experts all frowned. When they saw such a majestic Emperor Spirit appear, they had thought a high-ranking member of the Wuji Sect had arrived. They hadn't expected these two young people to arrive instead.

Mo Wuwei, however, was thrilled. He hadn't seen Guang Xiaoyu in a very long time. "Elder Sister..." Mo Wuwei took a deep breath, striving to remain calm.

"Who are you?"

"It's me! Mo Wuwei, the Sword Heart Body..."

"Oh, it's you!" Guang Xiaoyu chuckled. "Long time no see."

"Yes!" Waves of emotion surged through him, and it took him a moment to regain his composure.

He recalled when he first joined the Wuji Sect, seeing Guang Xiaoyu for the first time during the new disciple selection. Guang Xiaoyu had been overlooked by the Three Peaks due to her perceived lack of talent, only to be taken in by Chen Pingping. Who would have known that Chen Pingping's choice back then would later become the envy of so many?

Guang Xiaoyu looked him over for a moment, then said, "Why are you so weak?"

Mo Wuwei: "..."

The others: "???"

Weak? Mo Wuwei, a Sword Heart Body at the Third Heaven of the Saint Realm, was considered weak?

Guang Xiaoyu frowned. "Your cultivation realm is too low."

He dared not utter a word or refute her. Based on his understanding of Guang Xiaoyu, if she called him weak, it meant she had actually taken notice of him. She wouldn't even bother commenting on ordinary people.

"Elder Sister," Jiang Ni'er called out. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Hm?

The Alliance higher-ups were somewhat bewildered. Who is this girl? Why is everyone from the Wuji Sect branch calling her 'Elder Sister' so respectfully now that she's here? Something isn't right! She's so young and her aura is so ordinary. She doesn't look like a high-ranking member, much less a peerless expert.
