Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 2458: Chapter 2458: Calm Before the Storm

Sect of the Supreme Void.

An ancient figure, seated cross-legged, with two faces constantly appearing in his mind.

One of them is that of Su Han.

The other one is... Yin-Yang Blade Saint!

Soon, he cast Su Han’s face out of his mind, leaving only the image of the Yin-Yang Blade Saint.

As a Peak Sub-Immortal Level expert, the Supreme Honor of the Sect of the Supreme Void naturally has his confidence.

He has already stepped half a foot into the Immortal Realm, and even other Peak Sub-Immortal Level individuals can hardly compare with him.

And the matters he contemplates naturally surpass others.

While everyone marvels at Su Han’s cultivation base enhancement, the Supreme Honor of the Sect of the Supreme Void thinks about where Su Han and others have been the past decade. What place allowed them such great fortune? What place enabled them to advance so swiftly?

The most crucial point is, this place wasn’t only visited by Su Han, but also by the Yin-Yang Blade Saint!

Ten years ago, the Yin-Yang Blade Saint posed no threat to the Supreme Honor of the Sect of the Supreme Void.

But after Su Han’s intervention, the Supreme Honor of the Sect of the Supreme Void began to pay substantial attention to the Yin-Yang Blade Saint.

In his opinion, although the Yin-Yang Blade Saint is not his equal, he ultimately remains a Sub-Immortal Level expert. If he achieved enlightenment and entered the Immortal Realm, it would merely be a matter of time.

Meanwhile, he has not achieved enlightenment, even if given more time, it remains futile!

The Supreme Honor of the Sect of the Supreme Void worries whether the Yin-Yang Blade Saint has achieved enlightenment on the Road to Immortality.

If he indeed achieved enlightenment...

The threat from the Yin-Yang Blade Saint would be far greater than that from Su Han!

No matter how strong Su Han is, he can only match Sub-Immortal Level, so long as the Supreme Honor of the Sect of the Supreme Void exists, the Sect of the Supreme Void remains unharmed.

But if the Yin-Yang Blade Saint steps into the Immortal Realm, no one in the Lower-Class Star Region could challenge him.

To the Immortal Realm, even the most formidable Peak Sub-Immortal Level remains ants!!!

”Should I make the first move against him?”

After a long while, the Supreme Honor of the Sect of the Supreme Void pondered this question.

...

Various sects and factions stirred a storm due to Su Han’s return.

The power of those Three Swords is too formidable, nearly slaying the Dark Sorcerer Supreme who wielded Immortal Artifacts, an act of terror!

Some even doubt whether the Supreme Honor of the Sect of the Supreme Void, wielding that Blood Dragon Whip, could achieve what Su Han did.

As they all cogitate, Su Han once again secluded himself within the valley of the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

The numerous Spirit Crystals, Demon Crystal Stones, and other items acquired from the Three Emperor Mountain have already been distributed by Lian Yuze upon his command.

Even enough to provide ten trillion Elemental Crystal Stones for the Phoenix Sect Mages to use.

These ten trillion Elemental Crystal Stones are enough to last them a long, long time.

For Su Han, this is not wasteful. Aside from himself, the most vital are the people of the Phoenix Sect!

Only by improving their cultivation base can they help him clear more obstacles and allow him to return to his peak faster.

...

Su Han obtained considerable Immortal Artifact Material from the Demon Dragon Cave.

In his possession, there are currently ten Eighth Level Blood Crystals.

This means, once successful, Su Han can craft... a full ten Immortal Artifacts!

Once these ten Immortal Artifacts appear, along with Su Han’s method of controlling Immortal Artifacts, it will be a devastating blow to Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects!

The moment the Phoenix Sect truly takes action will be when these Immortal Artifacts are thoroughly crafted!

Of course, crafting Immortal Artifacts isn’t simple, even with Su Han’s current cultivation base, it requires an extensive amount of time.

Thankfully, the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son exists.

The Sixth Grade Dao Sovereign Realm cultivation base forcefully accelerates time within the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son to three thousand six hundred times faster!

One year in the outside world equals three thousand six hundred years within the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son!

Thus, saving Su Han vast amounts of time.

The first Immortal Artifact he intends to craft is that which has always followed him, yet remains merely Netherworld Artifact Level—the Divine Blade Ultimate Night!

”Swipe!”

With a flip of his palm, the long knife appeared.

The blade is pitch black, dotted with star points, akin to bright lights in the night sky, profound and dazzling.

As if resonating with Su Han’s thoughts about recrafting it, the Divine Blade Ultimate Night excitedly trembled.

”Do you know I’m going to upgrade you?”

Su Han stroked the blade, smiling slightly.

Without any idle words, Su Han directly took out the Eighth Level Blood Crystal, then commenced the Divine Fusion Art alongside refining the Immortal Artifact Material.

Materials, ultimately, are just materials, not Immortal Artifacts.

If asked to refine an Immortal Artifact, he may not succeed, but refining Immortal Artifact Materials, unless excessively high-level, he can certainly do!

Fire Attribute Origin expanded, elevating the temperature sharply, and the first Immortal Artifact Material began refining in Su Han’s hand.

In this moment, time invisibly began to advance.

...

An eerie scene emerged on the billion-mile land.

Many noticed that the Phoenix Sect, which was perceived as a mutual foe that didn’t share the sky with the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects, astonishingly fell silent.

Neither side made any moves against the other.

The Phoenix Sect’s members all concealed themselves, none appeared.

While disciples of the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects shrunk their patrolling range, nearly only appear sporadically around their respective sect locations.

As for encirclements like before?

Completely ceased.

”A storm is brewing...” someone sighed.

As cultivators, they possess an instinctive premonition.

This is the calm before the storm.

Su Han’s fierce return, establishing his might with Three Swords, compelled subjugation from the Dark Sorcerer Supreme and other four major Sub-Immortal Levels, dubbing him ’Nine Shadows Emperor.’

Considering his character, his grudges with the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects, how could he not strike back?

Yet he does not.

Phoenix Sect remains quiet, like a pool of stagnant water, not only Su Han, but even the most ordinary disciple, no one showed up.

Everyone knows the Phoenix Sect is likely deliberating a grand technique.

Without absolute certainty, they won’t act.

But once they do act...

Then the heavens of the Lower-Class Star Region are indeed going to overturn!

When Phoenix Sect and Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects battle, it will undoubtedly be a decisive battle.

The loser... bow out, retreat, or even face annihilation!

Meanwhile, the silence of Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects may also be brewing some scheme.

Numerous Loose Cultivators sighed.

How nice it would be to unite these strong forces to oppose the Extraterritorial Demon?

But regretfully, neither the Phoenix Sect nor Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects would entertain such an idea.
