Seeing his senior brother being beaten to the point of vomiting blood, Yi Shuihan was extremely anxious, but he was helpless. Although he had a teleportation ability, he was too far from Dongming to teleport with him. As for rushing in to join Dongming now, that was wishful thinking. That quasi-emperor's demon was too strong, and he might end up hindering him instead of helping.

His mind was racing, but the quasi-emperor demon's actions didn't stop. He struck out with palm after palm, maintaining a steady pace that looked pleasing to the eye, but the result was that Dongming was constantly injured.

His aura continued to decline. Dongming was originally a top expert in the Creation Dao realm, but now his aura was barely maintaining the Creation Dao realm, and it seemed that he would fall below the Creation Dao realm at any moment.

She was anxious, but there was nothing she could do about it. She could only watch silently as Dongming's injuries continued to worsen.

Those creators who were further away all had sorrowful expressions in their eyes. As creators of all the heavens and myriad worlds, they saw Dongming's situation and felt his pain deeply.

The Creation Realm is the strongest realm below the Great Dao Emperor, with a noble status that even the Great Dao itself must respect. Yet now, it is being toyed with like a cat playing with a mouse by a demon, which is a trampling of dignity for the Creation Realm.

Indeed, this quasi-emperor demon is toying with Dongming. He is not using his full strength, otherwise Dongming would not have been able to hold out for so long. After all, he has a portion of the power of the Great Dao Emperor, which is completely different from the power of the Creator Dao. The power that this quasi-emperor demon is currently exerting is probably less than one ten-thousandth of what he possesses.

"Goyo, you've gone too far!"

A furious voice emanated from the Emperor of Judgment, and an axe representing judgment shot from his eyes, slashing towards the demonic Five Leaves.

The Judgment Axe can slay all living beings, the sun, moon, stars, and the vast universe.

The Judgment Axe slashed across Wuye's body, cutting him in two without exception. But in the next instant, his body reappeared.

"I didn't make a move! You're attacking me for no reason. Are you trying to break the agreement? Come on, try attacking me again. I'm not afraid of breaking the agreement."

Wuye looked arrogant, and the other demons also exuded an aura that seemed ready to start a war at the slightest provocation.

The Great Dao Emperors of the myriad realms were not to be outdone, and they released their oppressive power to confront the demons.

At this moment, both the demons and the myriad realms turned their attention to the Emperor of Judgment; whether to fight or make peace depended on his decision.

"Let's fight! We've never been afraid of you demons."

With a cold laugh, the Emperor of Judgment spoke thus.

With their auras locked, a great battle seemed inevitable. However, just before the two sides were about to clash, the Judgment Emperor raised his hand and made a stop gesture.

"Is the renowned trial just all talk? What happened to the promised war?"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Wuye's eyes as she sarcastically addressed the Judgment Emperor.

This agreement was ultimately signed by beings at the highest level; these Great Dao Emperors were merely supervisors. If war broke out, being forced into it would be manageable, but the side that initiated the war would inevitably be punished—punishments that even Great Dao Emperors could not withstand. Otherwise, Wuye would have already struck first, and there would have been no need for contingency plans.

Most of the demons only created one quasi-emperor-level demon. To be honest, this is a loss for the demons, because the quasi-emperor-level demon created can never advance further. It will remain the same as it is now. However, if they did not create this quasi-emperor-level demon, it would only be a matter of time before a few emperor-level demons were born from the sacrificed demons. After all, demons do not need to create their own path; they only need to destroy enough.

If the Heart of the Universe weren't so important to the Demon Clan, even if Wu Ye wanted to create a Quasi-Emperor Demon, the other Emperor-level Demons wouldn't agree. You have to understand that Wu Ye isn't the strongest among Emperor-level Demons; there are others he has to be wary of.

"Huh! What's going on? How did he suddenly become so strong?"

Wuye also saw the reason why the trial suddenly stopped. Dongming, who had been beaten helplessly below, had somehow appeared next to the Quasi-Emperor Demon and was fighting back and forth with him, not losing at all.

Chapter 1400, Having a Good Master?

Dongming suddenly became as powerful as a quasi-emperor, not because he had been hiding his strength before; the strength he is showing now is not what he originally possessed.

"The aura emanating from my senior brother seems very familiar."

Yi Shuihan was delighted by Dongming's sudden outburst. He had been furious watching his senior brother being tortured, wishing he could kill that quasi-emperor demon ten thousand times over.

Dongming suddenly possessed the strength to fight against a quasi-Emperor demon. As Yi Shuihan relaxed, she also had more energy to focus on other things, so she naturally noticed the abnormality in Dongming's aura.

"I think I've felt this way before, and it's definitely not just once or twice. Right, it's Master. Senior Brother Dongming's aura is very similar to Master's right now. Could it be that Master secretly intervened? Yes, given Master's personality, it's quite normal for him to intervene at this time."

In Yi Shuihan's eyes, his master was very protective of his own, and it was in line with his character to take action when his disciple was in mortal danger.

As for why Dongming couldn't directly overwhelm the Quasi-Emperor even though his master had intervened, and they were only exchanging blows, Yi Shuihan guessed that it must be due to some kind of restriction. Because of this restriction, although his master intervened, he couldn't act recklessly.

The facts were indeed almost exactly as Yi Shuihan had guessed. It was his master, the Creation Emperor Salama, who had made the move. Salama used the power of creation to temporarily grant Dongming the strength of a quasi-emperor. Moreover, compared to quasi-emperors forcibly created by demons, Dongming's temporary quasi-emperor status had no aftereffects. He wouldn't even experience weakness afterward.

"What is his relationship with that old guy, Creation?"

Wu Ye's face was gloomy. He was naturally very concerned about the few Great Dao Emperors in the myriad realms who could kill him, since it concerned his life. Therefore, he quickly judged from the changes in Dong Ming that it was the Creation Emperor who had done it.

"Huh? You didn't know? This is the disciple of the Creation Emperor! I thought you knew!"

The wheel of fortune turns, and this time it's the Emperor of Judgment's turn to be triumphant. He said this in a surprised tone, with obvious mockery in his eyes.

“That old guy, Creation, is breaking the agreement. As a Great Dao Emperor, he cannot interfere. This is an agreement made by the great original owners.”

The original owner mentioned by Wuye is equivalent to the spirit in the myriad worlds.

"The agreement stipulates that the Great Dao Emperor is not allowed to take direct action, but Creation has not violated the rules. He did not attack you demons, but only added a buff to his disciple. If this really counts as a violation of the agreement, there should be a reaction from above. Obviously, this does not count. If you are not satisfied, you can take action like Creation!"

The Emperor of Judgment said with a hint of mockery.

The "you can do it, so can I" attitude had a significant effect on Goye, making his face turn dark. He couldn't refute Goye.

Ultimately, Wu Ye lacked confidence in his own abilities. Although he had created a quasi-emperor-level demon using nearly half of the demons, he was still not confident that he could stop Dong Ming, who was empowered by the Creation Emperor. As for taking action himself, it would be useless against the Creation Emperor.

The title of the Creation Emperor is not just for show. The Creation Path is best at creating miracles and creating something from nothing. Unless it is an absolute crushing victory, in a protracted battle, the side that uses the power of Creation will definitely win.

Wu Ye dared to provoke the Judgment Emperor, even hoping that the other party would lose control and start a war. However, when facing the Creation Emperor, Wu Ye could only suppress his temper no matter how angry he was, because he understood that he was facing an existence that could completely kill him.

"Little Hanhan, your senior brother is really amazing. He actually fought that demon to a standstill."

Baihuaxiang lacked the insight to see that Dongming had become so strong under the influence of external forces; she simply thought Dongming was very powerful.

In truth, Yi Shuihan wouldn't have been able to guess Dongming's true situation if he hadn't been familiar with his master's aura.

……

The battle had been going on for a whole day and was still not over. It could only be said that the quasi-emperor demon's durability was not bad, after all, it was born from the sacrifice of so many demons.

The quasi-emperor demon has durability, but Dongming has no durability, or rather, his durability is always at full value. The quasi-emperor demon claims to be fighting Dongming, but in reality, he is fighting Salama behind Dongming. And a quasi-emperor can't outlast a true, legitimate Great Dao Emperor.

Both the Quasi-Emperor Demon and Dongming's combat power had reached the peak of the Quasi-Emperor level. Even if they were slightly stronger, they would be considered true Great Dao Emperors. This is why the battle continued. After all, Salama had to abide by the rules and could not fully raise Dongming's strength to the level of a Great Dao Emperor. He could only continue to fight the Quasi-Emperor Demon.

The battle between the two quasi-emperors was something that the surrounding demons and even the surviving Chaos Emperors could not interfere with; they could only watch from afar.

Because most of the demons were sacrificed, the pressure on the Chaos Emperors was greatly reduced, allowing them to easily escape the encirclement. It can be said that Dongming saved the lives of these Chaos Emperors. If he hadn't lured out the Quasi-Emperor demons, these surrounded Chaos Emperors would have had no chance of escaping.

They should logically be grateful to Dongming for being saved, but now their gratitude is mixed with a sour feeling. Ultimately, everyone came here to seek opportunities and compete for the Heart of the Universe. Dongming's performance tells them that all their previous efforts were in vain, that they had no hope from the beginning, and that they were just there to play supporting roles.

That's right! Even if you're at the Creation Realm, what use is it against this Quasi-Emperor Demon?

"Isn't it just because he has a good master?"

One of the founders said sourly, clearly having seen the source of Dongming's power. After all, he was a founder; although he didn't have the power of a Great Dao Emperor, he still had a broad perspective.

When he said this, the founder subconsciously overlooked the fact that if it weren't for the evil demon's cheating that created a quasi-emperor evil demon, Dongming would already be the master of the Heart of the Universe without relying on external forces.

Chapter 1401, Ye Dongsheng Awakens

In terms of strength, Yi Shuihan's master, the Creation Emperor, ranks fifth in the myriad realms. There are also Emperor-level demons stronger than him on the demon side. However, being strong does not mean that a quasi-Emperor demon can become stronger than Dongming. The mystery of the Dao of Creation lies in this.

Of course, they could also target the Creation Emperor, preventing him from helping Dongming. If they did that, it would likely trigger a major war, making the so-called struggle for the Heart of the Universe a joke.

It has been a day since Dongming acquired the Heart of the Universe. Logically, he should be considered the master of the Heart of the Universe. However, no Great Dao Emperor has come out to announce this matter.

For the Great Dao Emperors of all the heavens and myriad realms, they have basically already won, and there is no need for them to provoke these demons. As for the demons, they probably still hold a sliver of hope for the Quasi-Emperor Demons, so naturally they will not take the initiative to announce the end.

Yi Shuihan, who was watching the battle, suddenly changed his expression. The next moment, a wisp of his consciousness entered his personal world. His other senior brother, Ye Dongsheng, had just made a slight movement.

"Is the treatment complete?"

When Ye Dongsheng used his self-harming secret technique to save Yi Shuihan, Yi Shuihan eventually placed him in her personal world and used the system's power to heal him.

Yi Shuihan originally thought that this treatment process would take hundreds of millions of years, since the system would be unable to be used for hundreds of millions of years because of this, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case.

As his fingers twitched slightly, Ye Dongsheng slowly opened his eyes, a hint of confusion in them.

"Senior brother, you're awake. Let's check how you are first. Have you recovered?"

Yi Shuihan's consciousness materialized into an avatar before Ye Dongsheng and asked with concern.

Upon seeing Yi Shuihan, Ye Dongsheng's memories quickly returned. He looked at Yi Shuihan with complicated emotions. When he used the secret technique, he had already given up the idea of ​​continuing to break through. Who knew that Yi Shuihan would actually have a way to allow him to resume his cultivation path?

Ye Dongsheng was naturally overjoyed to be able to embark on the path of cultivation again, but he felt uneasy when he thought about the price he might have to pay to restore Yi Shuihan.

Before he could even examine his own body carefully, Ye Dongsheng began to investigate Yi Shuihan, wanting to know what price Yi Shuihan had paid.

"what!"

Upon this investigation, Ye Dongsheng was stunned. He discovered that what was before him was Yi Shuihan's consciousness clone. This wasn't the key point; the key point was that the strength of this consciousness was clearly beyond what a Dao-Seeking Realm cultivator could possess. Therefore, there was only one answer...

"You have achieved enlightenment?"

Looking at Yi Shuihan's consciousness clone with astonishment and doubt, Ye Dongsheng was confused. He was certain that the time he had been asleep was not long, only about ten thousand years. Yi Shuihan had broken through in just ten thousand years? This was a shock to Ye Dongsheng, who was already used to Yi Shuihan's abnormal abilities.

"Not bad, we succeeded by luck."

Yi Shuihan answered with great restraint.

"..."

A fluke? If luck were possible, countless seekers of the Dao throughout the myriad realms would hope for such a stroke of luck!

"Are you really alright?"

Slightly taken aback, Yi Shuihan realized what Ye Dongsheng was worried about. He was somewhat touched that his senior brother's first concern upon waking up was him, not him.

"It's really nothing. If something were wrong, would you have broken through so quickly? You can rest assured."

Seeing that Yi Shuihan didn't seem to be lying, Ye Dongsheng finally felt relieved and showed a relieved smile.

"While you were healing, things were quite lively outside. The demon we encountered that time wasn't an accident, but rather..."

Yi Shuihan quickly recounted the events from the demonic invasion to the search for an opportunity and the Heart of the Universe.

"You mean Senior Brother Dongming is currently fighting a demon outside?"

"That's right, with Master's help, Senior Brother should have the upper hand now."

"Could you let me see it with my own eyes?"

"Of course it's no problem."

With a thought, Ye Dongsheng was teleported out of his personal world.

Outside, Ye Dongsheng's figure gradually solidified beside Yi Shuihan. Bai Huaxiang, who was standing to the side, was shocked and almost attacked, but was stopped by Yi Shuihan.

"Little Hanhan, who is he?"

"Forehead!"

Before, it was just the two of them, and being called "Little Hanhan" was fine, but now that his senior brother was standing next to him, being called that again made Yi Shuihan extremely embarrassed.

Ye Dongsheng glanced at Yi Shuihan, then at Bai Huaxiang, his eyes revealing a look that said, "You don't need to explain, I already guessed it."

"Senior brother, let me introduce you. This is Baihuaxiang, my colleague. We were both guardians of the Chaos City branch before. This is my senior brother, Ye Dongsheng."

That's what they said openly, but Yi Shuihan also secretly told Ye Dongsheng about the background of Baihuaxiang's little princess, making Ye Dongsheng pay more attention to Baihuaxiang.

Of course, this introduction naturally omits how Ye Dongsheng came to be before.

"My junior brother has been taken care of by you a lot, Fairy of a Hundred Flowers."

"No, actually we've been taking care of each other."

Being called a fairy, Baihuaxiang was obviously very happy, and her feelings towards Ye Dongsheng improved a lot. Considering that Ye Dongsheng was Yi Shuihan's senior brother, she even seemed a little shy.

Yi Shuihan hadn't realized it before, but now he finally understood that Bai Huaxiang had feelings for him!

Knowing this, Yi Shuihan wouldn't actively flirt with girls. Having lived for so long, he's no longer the same person he once was. Now, his main focus is on becoming stronger, becoming a Great Dao Emperor, or even becoming the most powerful being. As for other things, he can only let nature take its course. Besides, he has such a large backyard in his personal world. He might be willing, but Baihuaxiang wouldn't be. After all, Baihuaxiang is a little princess with a very strong backing, which has also fostered her personality of not being good at sharing.

Yi Shuihan pretended not to see through Bai Huaxiang's scheme, but she couldn't hide it from Ye Dongsheng. Ye Dongsheng gave Yi Shuihan a deep look but didn't say anything.

"As expected of Senior Brother Dongming, he's still as domineering as ever after all these years!"

Watching Dongming fight against the quasi-emperor demon, Ye Dongsheng seemed a little excited. If Dongming wasn't currently engaged in a fierce battle, he probably would have already gone over and given Dongming a heartfelt hug.

Chapter 1402, Returning to Chaos City

"Domineering, that's a very apt word..." Looking at Dongming, whose every move was full of power and who was forcing the Quasi-Emperor Demon to retreat, Yi Shuihan nodded in agreement. It was indeed majestic and domineering.

With Ye Dongsheng present, Yi Shuihan had someone to chat with. Of course, the two of them mainly talked about the battle between Dongming and the quasi-emperor demon. Although Baihuaxiang was also there, Yi Shuihan didn't talk to her much. This was mainly because Baihuaxiang's strength level was a bit low. Although she might not be weak in combat with the help of treasures, she basically couldn't understand the battle in front of her.

As someone who is about to break through to the Enlightenment Realm of Creation, and who also has a master who is a Great Dao Emperor, Dongming has far more knowledge than his junior brother Yi Shuihan. In addition, Yi Shuihan is also familiar with Dongming, so he knows even more.

Yi Shuihan also gained a lot of knowledge about the Dao Creation Realm from Dongming, and through mutual verification, he gained a great deal.

The Quasi-Emperor Demon held out for quite some time, finally being killed by Dongming on the seventh day. With this, the grand journey to find opportunities came to a complete end. The Quasi-Emperor Demon was eliminated, so how could the other demons dare to cause trouble for Dongming? As for the other Dao Creators, it was even more impossible for them to do so.

In fact, if the quasi-emperor demon really wanted to escape, he might have been able to, but he showed no sign of escaping from beginning to end. He even rarely made any strategic retreats when fighting Dongming. Perhaps he had such thoughts at one point, but in the end, he chose to die at Dongming's hands.

After obtaining the Heart of the Universe, Yi Shuihan's master, the Creation Emperor, personally appeared at the scene and took Dongming away. He then sent a telepathic message to Yi Shuihan and Ye Dongsheng, instructing them to return to the Creation World first.

Without mentioning what Dongming went through afterward, or what kind of struggle the myriad realms and the demons went through, Yi Shuihan and Ye Dongsheng returned to Chaos City safely.

Outside the city gates of Chaos City,
