It was too fast. In the blink of an eye, the two Saint-level gatekeepers were sent flying, half their bodies exploding into a bloody mess, bones shattered, teetering on the brink of death.
Their blood even splattered onto the main gate of the Ancient Immortal Hall, adding a touch of bloody scent to the sacredness of the ancient hall.
The Primordial Demon God was truly as terrifying as a demon god. Without a word, he directly struck and grievously wounded the two Saints.
Even Li Xuan wanted to block it but couldn't, because it was too fast, too sudden.
"So what if it's the Ancient Immortal Hall?" the Primordial Demon God said coldly. "Do you think I fear your Ancient Divine Palace? What are you, mere minor Saints, to dare be so arrogant?"
He looked down from a commanding height upon the two Saint-level gatekeepers, the killing intent emanating from him making them feel as if they had fallen into an icy cellar, their entire bodies chilling to the bone, trembling uncontrollably.
In truth, the Primordial Demon God truly did not fear the Ancient Divine Palace. Not only was his background extraordinary, supported by ancient Great Sages, but more importantly, he pursued the path of true invincibility, the strongest Human Sovereign's Emperor's Path. How could he fear anything? At most, he was merely somewhat wary.
Like this time, he was indeed somewhat wary of the Ancient Divine Palace and had already restrained most of his strength. Otherwise, with his cultivation, killing two Saints would have been far too easy.
Though the two Saint gatekeepers were on their last breath, even at this moment, amidst their terror, they couldn't help but continue to threaten: "Who are you? How dare you! Don't you know what place this is? You actually dare to attack before the Ancient Immortal Hall. No matter who you are, you are doomed!"
Whoosh—
This time, there was no need for the Primordial Demon God to act. The Sun God appeared.
He was like a blazing sun crossing the sky, arriving before the main gate with lightning speed. He directly grabbed the remaining upper halves of the two gatekeepers' bodies, his hands gripping their necks, lifting them high like chickens being picked up—a ridiculous and laughable sight.
The two gatekeepers were terrified, because this dazzling Son of God before them was just as fearsome as the man with surging demonic radiance from before. The aura he released made them tremble and want to submit.
The Sun God smiled brilliantly, yet it was dense with killing intent. "Doomed? What are you? Mere Saints dare to threaten us? Seeking death!"
Boom—
His hands suddenly erupted with infinite, dazzling flames, illuminating the heavens, surging divine flames rushing forth, impacting the two Saint gatekeepers.
In an instant, the two men's tattered bodies, from head to toe, were completely transformed into human torches. Their hair twisted and vanished, every pore on their bodies spewing flames.
It was visible to the naked eye that their flesh began to radiate, flames burning, scorching their blood essence and flesh, igniting from their internal origin, making them glow.
"Stop!" Li Xuan's expression changed drastically. He was about to rush forward to intervene, but at that moment, the Primordial Demon God had already stepped sideways, blocking his path.
"Step aside, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Li Xuan roared in a low voice, releasing a terrifying aura far stronger than an ordinary Saint Lord. He even raised his hand and stepped out a swath of divine radiance, all composed of runes, extremely terrifying, enough to make a Saint Lord avoid its edge.
But the Primordial Demon God said nothing, merely sneering coldly as he stared at him. Surging demonic radiance erupted from his body, similarly rushing forward and colliding violently with the divine radiance, exploding into a series of intense blasts capable of shattering heaven and earth, tearing through the void.
"Step aside!"
Li Xuan shouted again, his aura suddenly growing much stronger. He had the intention to attack, but at that moment, a series of horrifying, dreadful auras suddenly spread out, all locking onto him.
They were from the other Immortal True Kings, and also the invincible Battle Saint King. One by one, they coldly watched Li Xuan. If he dared to make a move, he absolutely believed these Myriad Domains powerhouses would attack him the very first moment. The consequences would be severe.
"Ah—"
The two Saint gatekeepers screamed in agony, filled with pain. It was visible to the naked eye that their flesh and blood were rapidly burning away, unable to recover, irreparable. Even their bones were burning, turning into balls of burning blood-fire.
They wanted to circulate their powerful divine power to resist, but to their horror, they found it was useless. These divine flames were too terrifying; even divine power ignited upon contact, utterly unstoppable. They could only stare wide-eyed at Li Xuan, opening their bloody, mangled fingers to plead for his help.
But Li Xuan couldn't. So many powerhouses had locked onto his aura, and there was the invincible Battle Saint King, like a dormant dragon revealing a sliver of its gaze fixed on him, making his heart tremble.
If he made any move, he would immediately face the thunderbolt attacks of these people, with no chance of escape.
"Palace Master, save us—"
The two roared, looking towards the Ancient Divine Palace, making everyone's hearts skip a beat.
Even Ye Chen looked over, his eyes shining brightly.
However, the Ancient Immortal Hall remained as before. Even with the two men right before it, about to be burned alive to nothing, still no one appeared.
The two men despaired. Pfft—
Finally, the half-bodies of the two Saint gatekeepers, along with their Primordial Spirits, burned into a pile of ashes, ceasing to exist.
They were dead, completely perishing, their Dao extinguished.
Li Xuan could only watch all this helplessly, letting out a silent sigh.
He couldn't help them. If one had to blame something, it could only be that the two were too arrogant. So what if they were gatekeepers of the Ancient Immortal Hall? Perhaps they could look down upon the Ancient Divine Continent, but they absolutely could not look down upon the people of the myriad realms, especially among these people, some would later become invincible beings, true masters of the Myriad Domains.
Offending these people was destined to end badly.
The people within the Ancient Immortal Hall also seemed somewhat wary, unwilling to deliberately provoke these Myriad Domains Heaven's Prides. Or perhaps there truly was no one there, allowing the two to be burned alive.
Li Xuan felt utterly powerless in the face of outsiders blatantly killing before such a sacred hall as the Ancient Immortal Hall, making his expression extremely ugly. He said coldly, "That's enough from all of you. You truly have great nerve. Although you are the strongest Heaven's Prides of the myriad realms, don't think you can do as you please. This is, after all, still the territory of my Ancient Divine Palace. It would be better not to be too arrogant."
Yuan Yao Divine King, enveloped in ten layers of divine halos, stood out like a flawless immortal king, ethereal and eye-catching. He smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for not intervening. As for the Ancient Divine Palace, we never intended to infringe upon it, nor do we wish to be threatened or insulted. In truth, you should also understand the temperament of people like us, and that we truly do not fear your Ancient Divine Palace much. Once a war breaks out, believe me, it is an outcome the Ancient Divine Palace absolutely does not wish to see."
He smiled, his words filled with confidence, yet also so very real.
Because they truly feared nothing.
Li Xuan's expression changed repeatedly, but in the end, he could only let out a soft sigh.
