Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 547: Too Late to Avoid

The Unreturning Demon Emperor opposite also refused to be weak.

"That’s right, our Demon Realm Holy Palace has only just gotten to know you, how could we want to kill you?"

Their statements completely baffled Brother Cheng.

Are you trying to fool an old man with a bad memory?

Earlier, you clearly sharpened your knives and wished to personally lay hands on me, to grind my bones and scatter ashes to eradicate the menace?

"What do you mean by this?"

"It doesn’t mean anything..."

The Jiu Jue Immortal Emperor and the Unreturning Demon Emperor spread their hands simultaneously.

Then, those Immortal Emperors and Demon Emperors behind them also realized.

All shook their heads, laughing.

"When did we ever think of killing you?"

"Don’t slander us with false accusations."

"We were just passing by..."

Brother Cheng was utterly bewildered.

He even suspected whether these people were sick.

"But I’ve killed several of your Immortal Emperors and Demon Emperors."

If you don’t come to kill me, I can’t even feel a hint of hostility, so how can I systematically resurrect and open a cheat here?

"It’s okay, it’s okay, they died for a good cause!"

"Yes, yes, they died well."

"Dead is dead, right? Who doesn’t die in life?"

This...

Clearly, this should be a good result, but Brother Cheng felt a bit desolate, as if now everyone was ignoring him.

"Don’t you want revenge for them?"

"We don’t, we don’t!"

The Jiu Jue Immortal Emperor nonchalantly dismissed the idea while ordering the Immortal Realm army.

"Everyone, withdraw and return to the Immortal Realm, each back to your sect!"

And the Unreturning Demon Emperor opposite also gave orders, having the Demon Realm army fully retreat to the Demon Realm.

"From today, every sect under the Holy Palace is to seal off their mountain gates and cut off contact with the outside world!"

"No one is to violate this!"

Accompanying their orders, the dense battle formations on both sides were withdrawn.

Countless Immortals and Demon Cultivators turned around, returning to their respective Domain sects along the same route.

They were orderly, like dark clouds sweeping across the sky.

Clearly able to see Brother Cheng’s existence, but all pretended not to notice.

This battle between the Immortal and Demon Realms ended so inexplicably.

"What is this supposed to mean?"

After a long time, Jiang Cheng looked at the deserted camps on both banks of the Boundary River, baffled.

He had mentioned wanting peace between the Immortal and Demon Realms before.

But that was purely an act, never a true desire from his heart.

Who would have thought his words would come true?

"I didn’t expect, you’ve actually become Jiexin."

Cang Ling’s long-absent voice sounded, filled with deep incredulity.

Jiang Cheng was a bit eager.

"Damn, sister, you finally appeared, I have so many questions to ask you..."

Cang Ling didn’t answer directly, but asked back.

"Have you met the Immortal Mother?"

When Brother Cheng heard this, he realized she also knew this person?

"Yes, she also said she is the Lord of the Immortal Realm."

Cang Ling chuckled: "Pfft, since when did the Immortal Realm let her become the master? But her seniority is indeed high, she’s from the same era as us."

"Then who is she exactly?"

"We don’t know her origins either, only that once every billion years, she shows up to stir trouble."

Cang Ling said softly: "One of those times was the Immortal-Demon War."

"That time she approached the Ten Thousand Ancient Soul Ancestor of the Immortal Realm, giving him an Immortal Treasure called Evil Extermination Strategy. Said the Demon Race’s time was up, making him act in heaven’s stead to eradicate, using a great catastrophe to suppress our Demon Race."

"Did he succeed?"

"He did. Before that, the Demon Race was the dominator of the entire Immortal Realm. Afterward, you see, reduced to this state."

"Was that catastrophe real?"

"Yes, but everyone got used to it."

"What do you mean?"

Cang Ling sighed: "Almost every billion years or so, the Immortal Mother selects a Jiexin. Gives him the Evil Extermination Strategy, letting him act in heaven’s stead, triggering a great catastrophe..."

"More than a hundred billion years after the Immortal-Demon War, she once said the Human Race’s time was up, chose a Jiexin from the Spirit Race to again trigger a great catastrophe."

"What was the result?"

"The result was that the Human Race split into Immortal and Demon Clans, fought against each other, with more Emperor Realm deaths than during the Immortal-Demon War."

"So her catastrophe is quite accurate?"

"Very accurate, but unfortunately the development of the Immortal and Demon Realms is too fast; their time is not easily destroyed by one or two catastrophes."

Cang Ling said lightly: "Additionally, with the second and third catastrophes, everyone gradually figured out the pattern of her catastrophe."

"What pattern?"

"Stay away from Jiexin, seal the mountain gates and isolate oneself from the world, avoid action, then the catastrophe is unlikely to reach you."

This...

Jiang Cheng finally understood why those great powers of the Immortal and Demon Realms were looking at him as if seeing the Plague God, hastily retreating.

They simply didn’t want to be drawn into some catastrophe.

"Then why don’t they just kill me, the Jiexin?"

The Evil Extermination Strategy can ignore the Power of Laws, if those Immortal Emperors or Demon Emperors don’t use laws, fighting him with rules could still kill him.

Cang Ling’s voice came again: "That wouldn’t work."

"Killing a Jiexin would entail being entangled in a terrifying Karmic Force and suffering backlash, with the Immortal Emperor dying immediately."

"And after a Jiexin dies, the catastrophe doesn’t end; a new Jiexin quickly appears."

Jiang Cheng curiously asked, "Then when does it end?"

"Very fast; each catastrophe lasts less than a million years. Endure this period, and you’re fine."

With Cang Ling’s guidance, Brother Cheng finally understood this catastrophe.

He didn’t reject this so-called catastrophe; after all, his original goal was to kill those Immortal Emperors and Demon Emperors.

When he hurried back to the Immortal Demon Mountain, he found it had undergone significant changes.

As a war zone, the left, middle, and right three major battlefields of the Immortal Demon Mountain were occupied by numerous Immortals.

But now, these battlefields were empty, and Immortals were nowhere to be found.

Overnight, the Immortal Realm seemed to have abandoned this defense line.

Meanwhile, on the opposite Demon Realm side, the Celestial Division of the Grand Demon Palace had already ordered all Demon Races to withdraw from the border to avoid being drawn into the catastrophe due to fighting.

At the same time, rumors were already rampant outside.

"The catastrophe approaches; Cang Cheng of the Azure Dragon Race is the Jiexin of this catastrophe!"

"The Nine Flames Immortal Emperor of a billion years ago was killed by him!"

"Recently fallen Chunhua, Zidian, and Li Guang of the three Emperor Realms were all killed by him."

"On the Boundary River, he also killed the Lei Ji and Changyun two Immortal Emperors and the Zhiyin Demon Emperor!"

"From now on, Infinite Cave Heaven has become history..."

"This person has killed seven Emperor Realm individuals before and after, truly terrifying!"

"Worthy of being a Jiexin, he brings calamity wherever he goes..."

"Terrifying!"

"Seems like we’ll also have to seal our mountain gates soon!"

Discussion was everywhere.

Upon hearing this, Brother Cheng almost arrogantly raised his tail.

"I didn’t expect the status of a Jiexin to be so prestigious."

"Unintentionally, I’ve become the focus of the entire Immortal Realm!"

"Hahaha..."
