Immortal Palace of Eternal Life

That terrifying demon from beyond the heavens had left.

The thought flashed through Liu Yu's mind, and the taut nerves he had been straining for so long finally relaxed on their own.

Just a single glance had been enough to distort the perception of fourth-stage beings and blur their sense of time and space. It was simply far too terrifying!

If that existence had wished it, a single thought might have been enough to kill every true lord and demonic king present in an instant.

If not for the protection of the Immortal Abode, he would likely have been no different from the others—just fish on the chopping block.

At the critical moment, it was thanks to the azure light dot protecting his consciousness that Liu Yu was able to think normally and suppress the urge to immediately flee into the Immortal Abode.

Although he did not know in what form that existence's attack would ultimately come, his keen spiritual perception still allowed him to sense danger in advance and react in time at the very last moment.

Otherwise, as the saying went, a gentleman does not stand beneath a crumbling wall. Nothing was more important than his life. He should have already entered the Immortal Abode in person.

On the other hand, Liu Yu had also failed to sense any killing intent or malice from that gaze.

Terrifying as that look was, strangely enough, he had not felt any desire to kill.

It was like a normal person casually sizing up ants on the ground—most likely they would not deliberately step on one.

Harsh as it sounded, to a demon from beyond the heavens, true lords and demonic kings like them really were no different from ants.

Since they posed no threat, so long as the ants did not block the road, the other side might simply not bother to crush them.

It was just like qi refinement cultivators to Liu Yu now. Their strength could not threaten him at all, and their little possessions were not worth a second glance. So long as they did not provoke him directly, he would not even bother looking at them.

Unless a qi refinement junior cultivator happened to possess a fourth-stage or fifth-stage treasure—something useful even to him.

Weighing these two factors together, Liu Yu had forcibly suppressed the urge to enter the Immortal Abode.

A demon from beyond the heavens at the harmony of the dao realm would never fail to recognize valuable things. If the Immortal Abode were not exposed, that would be one thing—it might just be treated like an ordinary ant and ignored. Even the sword of ruin, a spiritual treasure, might only be regarded as a toy in such an existence's eyes.

But once the Immortal Abode was exposed, there would likely be no path to heaven and no door to earth.

A heaven-defying treasure like the Immortal Abode had never appeared even in ancient legends. Liu Yu guessed that even after cultivating to the void refinement, harmony of the dao, and perhaps even higher realms, it would still be of tremendous use to him.

Perhaps in the eyes of a harmony of the dao expert, a treasure like an Immortal Abode would be worth more than an entire world!

By then, he would be like an ant holding a great treasure. He would immediately become a target of special attention.

Compared with the possibility that the demon from beyond the heavens would deliberately target and kill an ant, Liu Yu still felt that exposing the Immortal Abode was even more dangerous.

More importantly, the main body of the supreme clarity demon refinement formation was not in Tian Nan.

In other words, the seal's main body was in the Central Domain, and only part of this body had been sealed here.

No matter how one looked at it, the most important thing for it to break free should have been to解除 the seals on the other parts.

There was no reason for it to waste time here.

The Underworld Nine Nether Diagram disappeared.

The Black Ice Plaza returned to peace.

The true lords and demonic kings, drenched in cold sweat, were finally aware that the demon from beyond the heavens had left. Liu Yu's divine consciousness and spiritual perception instantly spread outward.
