Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 402

Chapter 402 The Origin of the Extraterritorial Demon

Immortal Changcun remained silent in his cave for dozens of days. When he emerged, his face, though youthful, had faded into old age, yet he was radiant and full of energy.

Upon seeing Immortal Changcun, the Tribulation-Transcending Stage cultivators, who had been waiting for

so long, gathered around him. They anxiously awaited his answers, hoping for some reassurance.

“Excuse me, Immortal, who was responsible for that massive hand? Is the Immortal Ladder still there? When will the Immortal Realm come to our aid?”

As Tribulation-Transcending Stage cultivators, they could only sense the Immortal Ladder’s location, relying on it to establish a tenuous connection with the Immortal Realm; they could not see it.

After the massive hand reached out to the Ladder, they could no longer sense its presence or any connection to the Immortal Realm. They were filled with anxiety, feeling every moment was an agony.

Immortal Changcun was about to speak when a crack appeared in the sky. Strange creatures, never before seen, shattered the void and descended, their terrifying aura sweeping across the Nine Provinces.

This Earth Immortal monster looked like a stitched-together mass of many creatures: a human body, snake scales, pig trotters, and bat wings. It spoke an incomprehensible language, a language not familiar to the common people.

Immortal Changcun vaguely recognized parts of an old friend in the monster, but he concealed his emotions well.

“What kind of monster is this? It’s clearly an Earth Immortal-level fluctuation, yet it’s neither human nor demon. No creature in the universe can match it!”

Immortal Changcun’s doubts flashed through his mind as he realized how the immortal realm had found Jiuzhou so quickly, given the rupture of the Immortal Ladder.

Unlike other worlds, Jiuzhou’s fame was immense. Even if the Immortal Ladder was broken, the immortal realm could still find a rough location based on their memorized directions.

Dozens of days passed, enough for the immortal realm to determine the location of Jiuzhou.

“Follow me first!”

Facing an Earth Immortal-level foe, everyone was terrified. Fortunately, Immortal Changcun led the charge, and the Tribulation-Duan stage cultivators followed.

“Kill!”

Pain flashed in Immortal Changcun’s eyes as he fought the monster, not caring about conserving his immortal energy.

Immortal Changcun suffered a crushing defeat upon encountering the monster. The monster lacked reason, its attacks unsystematic. A theoretical man, he rarely engaged in combat, Changcun was instantly sent flying by the monster’s close proximity.

Tribulation-Duration cultivators charged forward, surrounding the monster.

The monster’s powerful physique collided directly with the Tribulation-Duration

cultivators. Unable to coordinate, the cultivators fought independently, their battles proving arduous. Many were severely wounded and required constant use of their blood to regenerate.

The monster’s gaze was intent on devouring the Tribulation-Duration cultivators’ flesh and blood, utterly annihilating them. The monster’s gaze filled the hearts of the Tribulation-Duration cultivators.

The scale of the battle was immense, and the cultivators of Jiuzhou all looked up, unsure of what the higher-ranking cultivators were battling. But they could sense the monster’s malice and madness directed at Jiuzhou.

“Twenty Tribulation-Duration cultivators can’t gain the upper hand against this monster. Is there any hope for Jiuzhou?” Both cultivators and mortals wondered, refusing to dwell on the matter.

In reality, no matter how powerful an Earth Immortal was, facing a siege of twenty Tribulation Crossing Stage warriors, defeat was a matter of time.

However, the Tribulation Crossing Stage warriors were divided into factions and lacked coordination. Two Tribulation Crossing Stage warriors attacked simultaneously, but before they could even strike the monster, their attacks counteracted each other, significantly reducing their power.

“You can’t cooperate with me?”

“Damn it! Didn’t you see I attacked first?”

the two men cursed, allowing the monster to exploit their opportunity and severely injure

them. Fortunately, Immortal Changcun quickly recovered and once again became the main force in the fight.

While modestly claiming his limited talent meant he could only cultivate to the Earth Immortal stage, he was, after all, a disciple of the Dao Ancestor and unstoppable at the Earth Immortal stage.

The group abandoned their direct confrontation with the monster, unleashing a flurry of immortal arts and Taoist magic to encircle and ultimately slay it.

The monster, slain, crumbled into dust, dissipating into the air, never to be seen again.

“Immortal Master, what the hell is this?”

Though they’d barely defeated the monster, the Tribulation Crossing cultivators weren’t happy. The Immortal Stairway had just vanished, and now a monster had appeared for unknown reasons. This monster was incredibly powerful, and they’d sustained heavy damage in the battle, leaving them unable to recover for a while.

Only the Immortal Realm could possess Earthly Immortal-level beings.

Could this monster have come from the Immortal Realm…?

“Immortal Master, what’s going on? Since you’re from the Immortal Realm, could you possibly know some secrets?” Taoist Jin, as the representative, bowed and asked, hoping for an answer, an explanation that would explain the current situation.

Immortal Master Changcun glanced at Taoist Jin, the Long-Eyebrowed Buddha, Yuan Shang, Li Wu, and the others, then slowly declared, “The Immortal Stairway has indeed vanished. It was that giant hand that did it.” The Tribulation

Crossing cultivators instinctively clenched their fists, then felt powerless to release them.

The most devastated among the Tribulation Crossing cultivators was undoubtedly Taoist Jin.

He was poised for ascension at any moment, but he hadn’t achieved immortality because he wanted to consolidate his strength and build up his strength for a powerful breakthrough.

Who could have imagined that on the eve of ascension, the eternally enduring Immortal Ladder

would vanish? “When will the Immortal Ladder be repaired?”

Immortal Eternal Elder shook his head gently. “It’s difficult to repair. You should know that the Immortal Ladder was built by numerous immortals, and the craftsmanship is complex. Since the Immortal Realm connected to the other heavens and realms, no one has been built. To rebuild it now would consume an untold amount of immortal energy and time.” “

But rest assured, everyone. This matter is of grave importance. The Immortal Realm will not sit idly by. We will wait patiently, and there will be a result.”

“However, your Master, ancestors, and the Taoist lineage may not descend upon Jiuzhou for the time being.”

“The only means of communication between the Immortal Realm and Jiuzhou is the Immortal Ladder. With its disappearance, the Immortal Realm will need to rebuild it while searching for the coordinates of Jiuzhou.”

Everyone was silent. The Immortal Elder meant that the Immortal Ladder would be rebuilt, but the timeline was undetermined. It could be a hundred years, or even ten thousand years.

They wouldn’t live ten thousand years.

Fortunately, there was still hope.

“Did the monster just now come from the fairyland?”

Taoist Jin asked this question with a heavy heart. If the enemy came from the fairyland, building the ladder to heaven would be a really long way off.

And coming from the Immortal Realm meant a constant flow of monsters. Once or twice might be fine,

but who could resist these monsters forever? If they couldn’t defeat the enemy, they might as well let loose before they arrived.

Immortal Changcun froze, noticing that something wasn’t right with the expressions of those in the Tribulation Crossing stage. If they lost hope and their goals, who knows what they might do.

They might go mad, become possessed, or even slaughter the common people to vent their anger.

Immortal Changcun quickly adjusted his expression, chuckling softly and dismissing the monsters: “How could it possibly be from the Immortal Realm? How could the Immortal Realm tolerate such an ugly monster? The monster just now is called the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon.” “

Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon?”

The Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators exchanged glances. They had never heard of or seen this term in the immortal notes of their predecessors.

“It’s normal you haven’t heard of them. The Outer Realm Demons are enemies of the Immortal Realm, but they’re insignificant and pose no threat to the Immortal Realm. Their sheer numbers are simply a nuisance.”

“They’re just a bunch of Earth Immortal-level monsters. A Heavenly Immortal could easily destroy them.”

“Would the Immortals entertain you with stories about these pesky bugs?”

Upon hearing this, the Tribulation Crossing cultivators’ brows relaxed slightly.

Yes, they were irrational, charging around recklessly with nothing but their Earth Immortal bodies.

They were nothing but pesky bugs. If they could become Immortals, they’d be fearless of these monsters, oh, the Outer Realm Demons.
