Chapter 100

"Whoosh!" Accompanied by a dazzling and blinding white light, Sima Yan quickly passed through the teleportation array, arriving at the deepest part of the forbidden area of the Liuyun Sect.

This place formed its own independent space, created by the powerful ancestors of the Liuyun Sect using their supernatural abilities.

This was the first time Sima Yan had come to this place. In the past, although she had secretly infiltrated the Liuyun Sect multiple times and figured out the route to enter this forbidden area, she had never personally entered it.

Looking around, Sima Yan couldn't help but gape in astonishment, her mouth wide open for a long time. This place, like the outside world, formed its own realm, complete with mountains, rivers, valleys, and hills. Moreover, on the largest mountain in the center, there stood a towering pagoda that reached into the clouds.

The top of this pagoda was already invisible, as if a sharp blade had deeply pierced the sky of this realm. It exuded a strong, ancient, and沧桑 (time-worn) aura, as if it had existed for tens of thousands of years.

What shocked Sima Yan the most was not the height of the pagoda, but the intense pressure emanating from it. This pressure was无形 (intangible) but omnipresent. When she looked up at the pagoda, the pressure immediately transformed into several mountains, pressing down on her with great force. Even with her current strength at the late-stage Battle Emperor realm, she found it hard to bear the weight, and she couldn't help but retreat several steps, her face turning pale.

"This must be the legendary Demon Suppressing Pagoda of the Liuyun Sect. It is indeed incredibly powerful, living up to its reputation!" After pulling back a bit and rapidly circulating the energy within her body, Sima Yan felt a bit better and couldn't help but mutter in shock.

But then, a determined look appeared in Sima Yan's eyes as she gazed at the Demon Suppressing Pagoda ahead.

"No matter how difficult it is, today I will carry out my plan to restore the glory of the demon race!" With this thought, Sima Yan immediately moved without hesitation, rising into the air and flying towards the mountain where the Demon Suppressing Pagoda stood, despite the overwhelming pressure that threatened to crush her.

The closer she got to the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, the stronger the intangible pressure became. When she was still a thousand feet away from the pagoda, Sima Yan already felt the pressure was almost insurmountable. Her body trembled and shook like a small boat in a raging storm.

Each step forward was extremely difficult.

But, to realize this plan that she had been plotting for over a hundred years and to restore the honor of the demon race, Sima Yan gritted her teeth and slowly continued flying towards the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, regardless of the danger.

For within this pagoda, the hope for the revival of the demon race was suppressed. Even if the plan succeeded, it would only be the first step towards the revival of the demon race, but Sima Yan was willing to do whatever it took.

She had been planning for this day for over a hundred years.

Moreover, to protect the key figure in this plan, Lu Tianyu, Sima Yan had already sacrificed one of her nine lives.

That sacrifice was to deal with Ma Xingfeng, from whom she had to snatch back Lu Tianyu, and she died when Ma Xingfeng shattered her heart.

As for the time in Xishui City when she was cut in half by Wang Quanfa, it didn't count, because at her level, even if her body was cut in half, as long as her heart was not destroyed, there was no danger to her life. Sima Yan could simply use a demon ability to reassemble her body.

If not, she would never have wasted one of her extremely precious nine lives on a minor like Wang Quanfa.

Including the sacrifice for Lu Tianyu, Sima Yan had previously died six times to avoid being killed by the super-strong figures of the nine major sects, making a total of seven deaths. Now, she only had two more chances to resurrect.

"Lu Tianyu, whether my plan succeeds or not depends entirely on you. I have already sacrificed one of my lives for you. I hope you won't let me down!" Recalling all the events since she met Lu Tianyu, Sima Yan couldn't help but mutter, gritting her teeth and struggling to fly towards the Demon Suppressing Pagoda.

"Ah!" After flying another hundred feet, Sima Yan finally couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her face turning deathly pale.

But she was still nine hundred feet away from the Demon Suppressing Pagoda.

Such a distance seemed impossible to cover successfully.

However, a burning fire of determination burned in Sima Yan's heart. This fire was the honor of the demon race, and to achieve this honor, she was willing to die.

"Whoosh, whoosh!" At this moment, Sima Yan's divine sense quickly detected the sound of clothing breaking the air behind her. She couldn't help but change her expression and quickly turned around. She then saw that Wu Xingtian and others had also passed through the teleportation array and appeared a thousand feet behind her.

"Female demon, what are you trying to do?" Wu Xingtian, seeing Sima Yan desperately approaching the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, couldn't help but burst out in anger.

"Haha, Master, this is my personal matter, so don't interfere," Sima Yan replied with a sweet smile, but the tone when she called him "Master" was mocking.

"You, this female demon, our sect has long suspected you, which is why I personally took you as a disciple. I planned to wait until you revealed your true colors before dealing with you, but I didn't expect you to show your true face so quickly. Today, I will eliminate you and cleanse the sect!" Wu Xingtian, hearing this, couldn't help but tremble with anger.

As the leader of the Liuyun Sect, one of the nine major sects, Wu Xingtian had his unique qualities. Although his strength was only at the mid-stage Battle Emperor realm, his insight was extremely sharp. From the moment Sima Yan appeared before him, he saw the problem.

However, Wu Xingtian was very patient and curious, wanting to see what Sima Yan's hidden strength and intentions were for infiltrating the Liuyun Sect, so he never took action.

Unexpectedly, his momentary carelessness allowed this female demon to cause chaos in the Liuyun Sect and even enter this forbidden area. Wu Xingtian was both angry and regretful. If he had immediately gathered the sect's strong figures to kill Sima Yan when he first saw her, none of this would have happened.

But there was no turning back. The only option now was to thoroughly eliminate this female demon to make up for his earlier mistake.

"Want to kill me? We'll see if you have the ability!" Sima Yan, hearing this, couldn't help but smile and shout.

"Fine, I'll show you that the Liuyun Sect is not just a name." Wu Xingtian, hearing this, laughed in anger and immediately turned to the strong figures behind him, shouting, "Form the Nine Heavens True Dragon Array!"

"Yes, Sect Leader!" The strong figures of the Liuyun Sect, hearing this, immediately shouted in unison and quickly took their positions, forming a pattern like butterflies flying through flowers, with Wu Xingtian at the center.

This time, Wu Xingtian brought the core strength of the Liuyun Sect, a total of 306 people, including 200 core disciples, 70 elders, and 36 protectors. These people, of course, included Li Xiao, Wang Aotian, and Zhan Longxing. To deal with Sima Yan, they had come out in full force.

Since the battle against the demon race hundreds of years ago, this "Nine Heavens True Dragon Array" had never been used before. This showed how seriously Wu Xingtian took Sima Yan, not daring to underestimate her in the slightest.

After all, even the six great ancestors of the Liuyun Sect had suffered a significant loss at the hands of Sima Yan. How could he be careless?

"Whoosh, whoosh" In almost no time, the 306 people brought by Wu Xingtian had arranged themselves according to the positions of the Eight Trigrams, forming the initial shape of the array.

If one looked from above, they would see that after everyone was in position, a winding dragon immediately formed, with Wu Xingtian standing proudly at the head of the dragon.

As soon as the array was formed, an overwhelming pressure spread from Wu Xingtian, and his aura continued to rise.

Mid-stage Battle Emperor, late-stage Battle Emperor...

"Whoosh, whoosh" Wu Xingtian's aura continued to rise, and in less than ten breaths, it broke through to the early-stage Battle Venerable realm.

Sensing the rapid rise of Wu Xingtian's aura, Sima Yan's face changed dramatically. She hadn't expected to underestimate the Liuyun Sect. She thought that after escaping the纠缠 (entanglement) of the six old figures, no one in the Liuyun Sect would be her match.

Unexpectedly, the Liuyun Sect had created this astonishing array over the past few hundred years. With this array, the mid-stage Battle Emperor Wu Xingtian suddenly reached the early-stage Battle Venerable realm.

But it didn't stop there. In the next moment, under Sima Yan's shocked divine sense, Wu Xingtian's aura rose to the mid-stage Battle Venerable realm.

"This... This is impossible!" Sima Yan's face lost its last bit of color, and her body trembled violently, almost losing her balance and falling from the sky.

If it were a mid-stage Battle Venerable, Sima Yan might have been able to match him with her rich combat experience, but facing a mid-stage Battle Venerable, she had no chance of winning.

After all, the gap between the two was too great, something that experience alone could not make up for.

"I didn't expect the most terrifying thing about the Liuyun Sect to be not those six old figures, but Wu Xingtian. I misjudged him." Sima Yan's heart sank into the depths of despair.

"Is it really so unfair that the heavens have destined the demon race to never revive?" Sima Yan couldn't help but look up at the sky, letting out a roar of extreme unwillingness.

Her voice was extremely high, piercing the heavens and lingering in the air for a long time.

"Roar..." At this moment, from the Demon Suppressing Pagoda nine hundred feet away, a loud roar suddenly echoed, filled with intense unwillingness and anger.

As the roar continued, the solid Demon Suppressing Pagoda began to shake violently, as if it could not bear the pressure and was about to collapse.

"Divine Demon..." Hearing this familiar roar, Sima Yan's originally dim eyes quickly shot out two beams of terrifying light.

"Bad!" But when Wu Xingtian heard this roar, his face changed dramatically.
