Chapter 5051 Return
The next moment, divine light flowed, and before the Green Lamp King could recover from his shock, the two figures transformed into a beam of light, entered the space-time rift, and instantly disappeared into the starry sky.
Su Bai had no time to care whether the sword strike had injured the Green Lantern King or caused him any psychological trauma.
If the opportunity is right and he is at his peak, Su Bai's fighting spirit might actually drive him to have a proper fight with an Immortal Realm expert, so as to verify his own path and figure out what kind of gap still exists between him and the weaker Immortal Realm experts.
But now is clearly not the time to play the hero.
This is, after all, the edge of the Demon Kingdom's territory. If we linger here any longer, new changes may occur, or even attract an even more terrifying being.
Ye Shenfei risked facing the Demon Emperor's projection to buy Su Bai a chance to escape, and Su Bai absolutely dared not waste it in the slightest.
The Void Cauldron unleashed its divine power, frantically traversing the spatial turbulence, carrying Su Bai and the Immortal Venerable Langhuan, and in a resolute manner, completely disappeared from the Green Lamp King's perception range, leaving behind only a chaotic starry sky and an Immortal Demon King with a gloomy expression.
As the Green Lantern King watched Su Bai and his companion disappear, his previously nonchalant smile slowly froze, replaced by a deep look of astonishment and gloom.
He looked down at the long-haired brush in his hand; the once rich and full ink on the tip of the brush was now somewhat dissipated.
On his chest, a tear appeared in his blue short shirt, revealing a very thin bloodstain. Though shallow, it had truly pierced his immortal demonic body.
"The Boundless Realm Sword Formation..."
King Qingdeng muttered to himself, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.
If he hadn't reacted quickly and used his natal treasure, the Azure Sky Ink Brush, to defend against that sword strike, he would probably be in far worse shape than just having his clothes torn.
For a junior at the God Realm to be able to injure an Immortal Demon King like him is simply an unheard-of absurd thing!
"What a Su Bai, what a prodigy from the Desolate Heavenly Court." King Qingdeng gently wiped away the trace of divine blood seeping from his chest, licked it, and a bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes. "You got away this time, but next time... your name will definitely be engraved on my stone tablet, and in the most conspicuous place."
He didn't chase after them.
Su Bai escaped using the Void Cauldron and tore through the space-time blockade. The spatial mastery he displayed at that moment was extremely high. Even he would need to spend a considerable amount of time and effort to re-lock onto and catch up with him in the vast sea of stars.
At this moment, the situation on the battlefield was delicate, and he could not leave for too long.
"Never mind, there's plenty of time in the future."
With a flick of his sleeve, the Green Lantern King caused the green stone tablet beneath him to tremble violently, transforming into a streak of green light that fled towards the direction of the Envy Heaven Demon City.
......
the other side.
The Void Cauldron, like a lone boat navigating the chaotic currents of time and space, was frantically fleeing at a speed beyond reason under Su Bai's full-force encouragement.
Su Bai stood on the cauldron, his face as pale as paper.
The use of the Boundless Realm Sword Formation drained almost all of his divine power, even depleting some of his very essence. At this moment, if it weren't for his indomitable will, he would probably have collapsed to the ground long ago.
Standing beside him, the Immortal Lady Langhuan looked at Su Bai's slightly trembling back, a complex expression flashing in her beautiful eyes.
The power of that sword strike still lingers in her mind.
She considered herself to be virtually unmatched in the realm of gods, but faced with Su Bai's earth-shattering sword strike, she had to admit that she might not even be able to withstand a single blow.
Just how many trump cards does this junior brother still have up his sleeve?
"Junior brother, are you alright?" Immortal Venerable Langhuan asked softly, her voice filled with concern.
Su Bai took a deep breath, took out a handful of divine pills from his storage ring, and without even looking at them, stuffed them into his mouth and swallowed them whole.
The medicine took effect in his body, and his depleted divine power began to slowly recover, but his tightly furrowed brows did not relax.
"We won't die for now." Su Bai's voice was a little hoarse. "It's just that the Green Lantern King... the Immortal Realm of the Demon Kingdom is so shameless, attacking one after another. If we hadn't run fast, we would probably have really died here today."
Immortal Venerable Langhuan nodded, her expression solemn: "The Demon Kingdom has suffered heavy losses and repeated setbacks this time. Those Demon Kings and Demon Emperors must be furious. The fact that an Immortal Realm expert has taken action, although breaking with convention, is enough to show their determination to kill you."
Su Bai sneered: "Want to kill me? Not so easy."
The Void Cauldron traced a dazzling trail across the starry sky, and its continuous spatial jumps made the surrounding scenery bizarre and fantastical.
Although Su Bai spoke toughly, he was not at all relieved inside.
Although the Taihuang Heavenly Court achieved a strategic victory in today's battle, severely damaging the Xiantian Demon City, this is only the beginning.
The Demon Kingdom's foundation is unfathomable; the Immortal Realm expert who appeared today is merely the tip of the iceberg.
The truly terrifying Demon Lord level figures, and even the legendary Demon Ancestor, have yet to make their appearance.
Moreover, in order to save him, Ye Shenfei faced the even more powerful projection of the Immortal Demon Emperor alone, and her fate was now uncertain, which made Su Bai feel a huge weight on his heart.
"Senior sister, you said that Master..." Su Bai hesitated before speaking.
The Immortal Venerable Langhuan seemed to see through his thoughts and comforted him, "Junior brother, worry makes you confused. Your master is one of the best in the Immortal Realm. Even if you are no match for the Demon Emperor's projection, you can still protect yourself. Moreover, your master still has that thing... As long as you don't use that thing, your master has a way out."
When "that thing" was mentioned, a hint of awe flashed in the eyes of the Immortal Lady Langhuan.
Although Su Bai didn't know what his senior sister was referring to, seeing her so certain, he felt somewhat relieved.
The two remained silent as the Void Cauldron carried them across endless star rivers.
After an unknown amount of time, a familiar star field finally appeared ahead. There, there was a secret stronghold established by the Primordial Heavenly Court, which was also the temporary assembly point for the retreating army.
"arrive."
Su Bai felt relieved and slowly decelerated the Void Cauldron, heading towards a desolate planet in that star field.
The planet was already covered with concealment arrays.
When the Void Cauldron passed through the atmosphere and landed in a huge canyon, Su Bai saw many familiar faces.
Feng Yunwei, Duanmu Lei, Fu Yunxiu... and those surviving deities of the Heavenly Court.
Most of them were wounded, their armor tattered and stained with blood, but in each of their eyes was a sense of relief at surviving a catastrophe, as well as a kind of perseverance after being baptized by blood and fire.
Upon seeing Su Bai and Immortal Lord Langhuan return, the previously somber atmosphere instantly became lively.
"It's Lord Su Bai! And Immortal Venerable Langhuan!"
"They're back!"
"That's great! I knew Lord Su Bai was a lucky man. How could he possibly be left behind by those scum from the Demon Kingdom!"
A crowd gathered around, their eyes filled with reverence and fervor.
In this battle, Su Bai's performance was undoubtedly the most dazzling.
Suppressing the White-Haunted Demon Lord, fighting two great demon lords alone, and finally escaping unscathed from the pursuit of an immortal realm expert... each and every one of these deeds is enough to be recorded in the annals of the Taihuang Heavenly Court, becoming a legend that countless future generations look up to.
Feng Yun strode forward, patted Su Bai's shoulder heavily, and said with admiration in his eyes, "Good lad! Well done! This time, you've really brought honor to our Taihuang Heavenly Court!"
Duanmu Lei also looked on with admiration: "Brother Su's courage is beyond my reach."
Although Fu Yunxiu was pale and clearly badly injured, he still managed a smile: "Brother Su, after this battle, your name will probably resound throughout the entire Taihuang Universe."
Faced with everyone's praise, Su Bai simply smiled faintly, without the slightest hint of arrogance.
"You flatter me, everyone. This victory is entirely due to the valiant efforts of all my comrades. I, Su, have only done my duty."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, everyone's expressions gradually became serious.
Feng Yun didn't look around, but said in a deep voice, "We shouldn't stay here any longer. The Demon Kingdom has suffered such a great loss, they will never let this go. We need to rest as soon as possible, and then retreat back to the heart of the Heavenly Court through the teleportation array."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
In the following period, everyone began to focus on healing and recovery.
Su Bai found a secluded spot, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate his internal energy to regulate his depleted divine power and damaged meridians.
Although he forcibly suppressed the backlash from the Boundless Realm Sword Formation, it would leave hidden dangers if not dealt with in time.
Just as he closed his eyes to regulate his breathing, a soft footstep slowly approached.
Su Bai opened his eyes and saw that the Immortal Venerable Langhuan was standing in front of him, holding an exquisite jade bottle in her hand.
"This is the 'Nine Revolutions Rejuvenation Pill' refined by Master. It has miraculous effects on restoring the soul and original power." Immortal Venerable Langhuan handed the jade bottle to Su Bai and said softly, "You overexerted yourself this time. If you leave any lingering health problems, it will cause you a lot of trouble when you try to break through to the Immortal Realm in the future."
Su Bai accepted the jade bottle without hesitation and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Senior Sister."
The Immortal Lady Langhuan sat down beside him and did not leave, but quietly looked at the distant starry sky, seemingly lost in thought.
"Junior brother, do you know?" After a long silence, she suddenly spoke, "Actually, this attack on Xiantian Demon City was not just to weaken the Demon Kingdom's strength, but more importantly, to test them."
"A test?" Su Bai's heart skipped a beat. "A test of the Demon Kingdom's strength?"
The Immortal Venerable Langhuan shook her head, a profound light flashing in her eyes: "Not entirely. More importantly, it's a test to see if the legendary 'Demon Ancestor' is still asleep."
"The Demon Ancestor?!" Su Bai's pupils contracted slightly.
That is the supreme being of the Demon Kingdom, one of the most terrifying taboos in the entire Primordial Universe.
Legend has it that the Demon Ancestor has already transcended the realm of immortality and reached an ineffable state.
If the Demon Ancestor were to awaken, it would be an absolute catastrophe for the Primordial Heavenly Court.
"Although the Demon Kingdom has dispatched an Immortal Realm expert this time, the Demon Ancestor has not made any move," Immortal Venerable Langhuan continued. "This means that the Demon Ancestor is probably still in a deep slumber, or there is some reason that prevents him from taking action. This is good news for us, and also extremely crucial intelligence."
Su Bai nodded thoughtfully.
