The Imperial Martial Pill Venerable

"We meet again."

It was a single, casual sentence, yet it was accompanied by an overwhelming Demonic Qi. The might of the Peerless Sect Female Demon swept across the scene, stunning the Island Masters and Elders of the Vast Sea Divine Palace.

Shangguan Feiying, who had been struggling internally, showed a newfound resolve. He flew forward using his Sky-Controlling ability to face the Female Demon directly. Gazing at the peerlessly beautiful face before him, a bitter smile touched his lips. "Yar’er," he said, "I’ve brooded over what happened sixteen years ago until this very day. Today, I will settle things with you."

"Oh? And how will you settle things with me?"

The Peerless Sect Female Demon gave an indifferent smile, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

"Sixteen years ago, it was my fault you became like this. If you hate me, then kill me with your own hands, as long as it brings you some relief." Shangguan Feiying looked at the Peerless Sect Female Demon and said sorrowfully, "My only hope is that in the future, you won’t sink so deep into the Demon Dao that you can’t escape..."

"Don’t, Feiying!" Lin Yufei stepped forward, blocking Shangguan Feiying and facing the Female Demon directly. "If you must kill someone, kill me! Do you think Feiying has had it easy all these years? He’s lived every day drowning in self-blame..."

"Hmph. If you want to kill someone, you’ll have to get through us first!"

Zong Ji took a step forward, his aura surging like a tempestuous sea. Behind him, Yun Loxi, Mui Qiuhong, and the other Island Masters all unleashed their auras as well.

In an instant, a powerful presence that could stir the heavens and the earth swept across the Vast Sea!

Faced with everyone’s glares, not only did the Female Demon show no signs of retreating, she instead burst into loud laughter as the boundless Demonic Qi surged along with her.

"Hahahaha..."

"Shangguan Feiying, Zong Ji, Vast Sea Divine Palace..."

"What a bunch of impassioned, self-proclaimed righteous Martial Artists. Haha."

In the distance, having left Demon Trapping Island, Qin Ya gazed at the beautiful figure laughing wildly in the sky. An indescribable feeling stirred in his heart. For the first time, he felt an emotion other than hatred for a member of the Demon Race—something like pity, or heartache...

"Shangguan Feiying, I won’t kill you. As Lin Yufei just said, you feel very guilty toward me, don’t you? Then you can just live on, shamefully, with that guilt." After she finished laughing, the Peerless Sect Female Demon’s cold gaze swept over Lin Yufei and Shangguan Feiying.

"As for this place, I don’t want to stay here for another second."

With that, the Female Demon took a step, preparing to leave.

Zong Ji and the others exchanged a look and shouted, "Attack!!"

In an instant, the figures of dozens of Extraordinary experts shot out, surrounding the Female Demon.

Immediately, Zong Ji threw a punch that seemed to contain the might of the entire ocean. The other Extraordinary experts also unleashed their techniques—Sword Light, Palm Seals, Fist Wind...

So many Extraordinary experts attacking a single target.

Among them was no lack of Celestial Humans, and even Top Level experts at the King Level.

Such power disturbed the entire Vast Sea.

Raging tides surged and roared, and even the islands began to tremble and sway.

"Yar’er...!" Shangguan Feiying cried out in alarm. He tried to rush forward but was sent flying by a palm strike from Zong Ji, which sealed his True Essence. He was then carried away by Lin Yufei.

"Lo... Lord Emp... Emperor."

Even with a Secret Technique at his disposal, Ying San couldn’t help but feel his legs tremble and his face drain of color in the face of such heaven-shaking power. He could only place his hopes in the Peerless Sect Female Demon.

"You are all so annoying!"

The indifferent words rang out. The Peerless Sect Female Demon’s brow furrowed slightly as she gently raised a jade-like arm. Her Demonic Qi instantly exploded, sweeping out in all directions like a tidal wave. Violent ripples spread through the void, as if the very heavens and earth trembled in fear of this power.

BOOM...

The tyrannical Demonic Qi, like the most terrifying Fierce Beast in the world, instantly obliterated all the incoming attacks from every direction, leaving nothing behind.

Its momentum unabated, the Demonic Qi blasted toward the Elders and Island Masters of the Vast Sea Divine Palace.

"Damn it, what terrifying Demonic Qi."

"Such power... this Female Demon is truly terrifying."

"Not good..."

Facing the terrifying Demonic Qi, even if it was just the aftershock, no one dared to be the slightest bit careless. Their True Essence surged and their Profound Mysteries manifested as they did their utmost to resist this power.

The moment the Demonic Qi hit, more than twenty Elders with insufficient Cultivation were sent flying and crashed into the sea. Their blood stained the ocean’s surface, their fates unknown.

The Peerless Sect Female Demon stood in the void, her cold gaze sweeping over the crowd. She said indifferently, "It’s been many years, Zong Ji. The strength of your Vast Sea Divine Palace hasn’t changed one bit."

Ying San gazed at the Female Demon with reverence, his eyes filled with fanaticism.

’As expected of Lord Emperor! To possess such peerless strength.’

’If we can return to the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons and I can assist the Emperor in taking control, then I’ll be second only to one and above ten thousand!’ At this thought, even Ying San’s cold heart couldn’t help but start to thump wildly.

"Sixteen years, and your power has actually grown to this extent."

Zong Ji stared gravely at the Female Demon, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes. Sixteen years ago, the Female Demon was at most in the Half-Step King Realm. He never expected that in just sixteen short years, she would have reached such a terrifying level...

’Sixteen years trapping a demon... all for nothing...’

"Hmph. Are you disappointed?" the Female Demon snorted coldly.

Zong Ji didn’t say much more. He waved his hand and said, "All Island Masters present at the Celestial Human Realm, manifest your Dharma Aspects. Let’s make one last stand."

Immediately, as Zong Ji raised his hand, streams of ocean currents began to surge. Faintly, everyone could hear the sound of flowing water. It was as if Zong Ji himself had transformed into a vast, boundless ocean.

"Oh... True Intent? You’ve advanced to become a King. Heh, it seems you haven’t been completely without progress all these years," the Female Demon said with an indifferent smile.

Hearing this, the other Island Masters exchanged glances and let out a low shout.

In that instant, the heavens and earth trembled as more than a dozen auras of ultimate power began to rise.

One by one, enormous humanoid phantoms materialized, like gods descending upon the world. They stood across the void, their cold, merciless eyes fixed on the Peerless Sect Female Demon at the center.

From a distance, Qin Ya watched this scene, his mind utterly shaken.

’Celestial Humans... Dharma Aspects.’

’Kings... True Intent.’

’These are the truly strong. Even though I’ve reached the Extraordinary Realm, I’ve only just begun my journey on the path of Martial Arts. I still have a long, long way to go.’

Meanwhile, Ying San stared at the numerous Dharma Aspects surrounding them, his eyes filled with terror.

’These Dharma Aspects are not the half-baked versions he could conjure. These are true Dharma Aspects, possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth. Any single one of them is more than enough to crush him.’

’It’s fine. Lord Emperor is here.’

Ying San muttered to himself. Gazing at the Emperor’s figure, a powerful sense of confidence rose in his heart. Nothing could stand in the Emperor’s way.

Among these Dharma Aspects, some were covered in Flame tattoos, some roiled with the waters of the Vast Sea, and others were as imposing as mountains and abysses... but they all manifested in the world as humanoid figures.

"Heh. Thirteen in the Celestial Human Realm."

The Female Demon smiled indifferently. Her Demonic Qi flared angrily and a purple glint flashed in her eyes. The air froze, the Vast Sea grew still, and the Island Masters’ Dharma Aspects instantly felt a terrifying, world-ending ripple of power.

Their bodies, formed from Profound Mysteries and Primordial Qi, actually began to tremble.

"Demon Aspect!!"

As her words fell, Demonic Qi rose slowly from the Female Demon’s body.

The Demonic Qi converged, and a colossal Dharma Aspect wielding a War Saber suddenly appeared. The features of this Dharma Aspect were indistinct, but where its eyes should have been, a profound, bloody light shone. It radiated an overwhelming killing intent, like a Demon God that had come to slaughter the heavens and earth.

Faced with this Dharma Aspect, everyone’s minds trembled violently!
