The grand voice reverberated in the heavens as everyone looked at the figure stepping out of the pillar of light. Starlight emanated from the figure, and his robe was embroidered with mountains and rivers. His eyes were like stars, deep as the abyss. Just standing there, he radiated an awe-inspiring majesty.

The sovereigns looked at this man, and at that moment shock was written on their faces as they exclaimed, “Great Thousand Palace, Demon Slayer King, Qin Tian!”

In this Great Thousand World, there were many supreme powers, but everyone knew that only the Great Thousand Palace could be considered the strongest force in the world because its power extended to all the creatures of the world. The Great Thousand Palace was more like an alliance of the Great Thousand World, an alliance created to defend against the Extraterritorial Race.

The founder of the Great Thousand Palace was the Immortal Emperor. In those ancient times, it was the emergence of the Great Thousand Palace that brought together the forces of the Great Thousand World. Thus, all creatures no longer had to fight for their own survival and began to gather and band together. Finally, they were able to resist the invasion of the Extraterritorial Race.

In ancient times, the Great Thousand World was able to withstand the Extraterritorial Race because of the Great Thousand Palace. Thus, all supreme forces still maintained respect for the Great Thousand Palace. Sovereigns as strong as the Flame Emperor, Martial Ancestor, and other peak figures were elders in the Great Thousand Palace.

In order to improve one’s status in the Great Thousand Palace, it was necessary to accumulate Demon Slayer Points, and only by killing a Heavenly Demon Emperor could they win the title. During the ancient war, perhaps it was not too strange to hold the title of Demon Slayer King. However, in today’s peaceful age, if one wanted to kill a Heavenly Demon Emperor, they would have to enter the Extraterritorial Race’s territory. Even a Divine Grade Heavenly Sovereign would not dare to pull this feat off easily.

So during the past thousands of years, there was only one Demon Slayer King in the Great Thousand Palace, a great man who had set foot in the Extraterritorial Race and made it back alive. That ferocious man was this man in front of their eyes, Qin Tian.

Compared with Mu Chen’s stroke of luck, Qin Tian had been engaged in a true struggle with the Extraterritorial Race to win the title of Demon Slayer King. Precisely because of this, when Qin Tian appeared, even someone as arrogant as Maha Tian was fearful of him. Maha Tian took a deep breath and said in a quiet voice, “Brother Qin, this is my Maha Ancient Clan’s issue. It should be beyond the control of the Great Thousand Palace…?”

Qin Tian’s sleeve billowed in the wind. He smiled at Maha Tian as his voice boomed, “Why are you so insistent about the Primordial Immortal Body? It has been in the Maha Ancient Clan for tens of thousands of years, and none of you have become its master. It is evident that there is an incompatibility.”

Maha Tian’s face twisted. If someone else had said that, he would have struck him long ago, but he could not do so to the man in front of him. For Qin Tian, who had already entered the later stage of Divine Grade, was one of the most powerful men in the world. He was ranked in the top ten and could compete with the Flame Emperor, Martial Ancestor, and other peak figures.

If he had had the Maha Yin-Yang Vase in hand, Maha Tian would be able to compete with him. But now that the Maha Yin-Yang Vase was trapped in the stone tower, he would suffer a great loss facing a later-stage Divine Grade. Most importantly was the Great Thousand Palace behind Qin Tian; although it rarely interfered with the conflicts of the Great Thousand World, it had an esteemed reputation. Based on this alone, the Maha Ancient Clan could not risk offending them. But how could he be willing to let Mu Chen take the Primordial Immortal Body away?

“Brother Qin, my clansmen have protected the Primordial Immortal Body for tens of thousands of years. We deserve some recognition. Now Mu Chen wants to take it away. How is it fair?” With a deep breath, Maha Tian’s eyes twinkled as he said, “I have already made a compromise for him to place the Primordial Immortal Body in my Maha Ancient Clan for a hundred years. After a hundred years, we will not stop him from getting it back.”

When Qin Tian heard the words, he seemed to laugh and replied, “Chief Maha, I do not want to continue this pointless conversation with you. I have come today because I have received word from the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor.”

Maha Tian and the Maha Ancient Clan’s elders’ faces turned grave. There was a flicker of fear in their eyes. In the face of the Budur Ancient Clan and Great Spirit Ancient Clan, they could still grit their teeth and battle. However, if the Endless Fire Territory and Martial Border were involved, they would not be able to withstand them.

In particular, they had fought with the Endless Fire Territory in the past, but it ended with Maha Tian’s defeat at the hands of the Flame Emperor. If it had not been for the Maha Yin-Yang Vase, the Maha Ancient Clan would have been utterly disgraced.

Now, the Flame Emperor was no longer an initial-stage Divine Grade like he had been in the past. He had surpassed Maha Tian to become a later-stage Divine Grade and was one of the most powerful people in the world. The Endless Fire Territory was immensely powerful and no weaker than their Maha Ancient Clan. Moreover, there was the Martial Ancestor and Martial Border, who were on par with the Flame Emperor and Endless Fire Territory.

Outside of Aeon City, the forces of all sides were shocked. Who would have thought that today’s events would have unexpectedly attracted so many supreme forces?

Maha Tian’s face was iron-green, and he was infuriated, as he had intended to crush others with his status. However, it was utterly futile. The Endless Fire Territory, Martial Border, Great Thousand Palace, Budur Ancient Clan, Great Spirit Ancient Clan… When these five forces come together, the whole world would tremble. Even the Maha Ancient Clan would fail to withstand them.

“Brother Qin Tian, are you going to use your power to suppress my Maha Ancient Clan?” Maha Tian questioned him forcefully.

Qin Tian looked at Maha Tian, his face gradually growing solemn. He slowly said, “Chief Maha, the Great Thousand World is now facing a crisis. The Extraterritorial Race has been raring to attack us. It’s a good thing for many of us in the world that the Primordial Immortal Body can acknowledge its master, so I hope you can focus on the big picture.”

When Mu Chen heard this, his heart was slightly shaken, and he was reminded of why the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor could not come. He felt uneasy in his heart. Was it possible that the Extraterritorial Race would return again?

Maha Tian remained silent. At this point, it was clear that it would be impossible to regain the Primordial Immortal Body. In that case, if the other party gave him face, he would have to accept it. Otherwise, they would be the only ones who suffered losses at the end of the day. “Since the Great Thousand Palace has spoken, my Maha Ancient Clan will give you that respect.”

Maha Tian finally opened his mouth, and the spiritual energy around him gradually dissipated. He then looked coldly at Mu Chen and said, “But he has to return my clan’s Maha Yin-Yang Vase.”

Qin Tian looked at Mu Chen and smiled gently. “Lord Mu, it is easy to make enemies but hard to resolve a feud. Since Chief Maha has conceded, would you be willing to compromise?”

Since Qin Tian had spoken, Mu Chen did not want to show him disrespect, so he immediately nodded. After all, he also did not want to start a war with the Maha Ancient Clan. Although he had the support of the Budur Ancient Clan and Great Spirit Ancient Clan, the dispute was too huge. It was bound to cause the fall of Heavenly Sovereigns, which was a great price to pay for both parties. Now that he could force Maha Tian to retreat, it was the best outcome.

Mu Chen turned around, bowed to the Aeon Tower, and said, “Now that things have come to an end, I will have to trouble Elder to strike again.” As he finished speaking, the tower suddenly shook. Hundreds of millions of light rays burst out of the top of the tower. Among them, a black light swept out and turned into a black and white jade vase.

Upon seeing it, Maha Tian hurriedly summoned it, and the black and white jade vase fell into his hand. He carefully inspected it, and seeing that it was undamaged, heaved a sigh of relief.

“The Immortal Emperor’s power is immense, indeed. Even after tens of thousands of years, it is still strong.” Qin Tian looked at the tower and could not help but sigh. Even though he had the strength of a later-stage Divine Grade, he still felt awe toward the remains of the tower’s ancient power. However, after it had been summoned and released, the forces within the tower had clearly begun to dissipate. Even the surface of the tower saw cracks spreading out over it.

Mu Chen looked at this scene and bowed again to solemnly salute the tower.

As many forces in the area saw the tension of the atmosphere dissipate, they were also secretly relieved. If this war had raged on, it would have affected many, and even ordinary Heavenly Sovereigns would not dare to get involved. Now that it had a boisterous beginning but peaceful ending, it was for the best.

“I should have extended a warm welcome to Brother Qin, but now my clan is a mess, so my welcome can only be simplified.” Maha Tian looked into the ruins of Aeon City as he sucked in an unwilling breath. He did not want to stay any longer. Clasping his fists to greet Qin Tian, he then turned into a beam of light and disappeared in the sky. Many other Maha Ancient Clan elders quickly followed him.

In the face of Maha Tian’s behavior, Qin Tian did not care. After all, his arrival had led the Maha Ancient Clan to lose the Primordial Immortal Body. It was also natural for them to bear some grievances. Moreover, he had not come for the Maha Ancient Clan. With a wave of his sleeve, he looked at Mu Chen and appeared in front of him with a smile. “I have long known that another Demon Slayer King has emerged. I have finally met you today.”

In the face of the true Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace, Mu Chen replied respectfully, “You flatter me, Elder Qin. I got this title through a stroke of luck, haven’t you heard about it?”

Qin Tian let out a boisterous laugh. “No matter how you got it, as long as you can get it, that is your fate. Furthermore, you are now qualified to become a true Demon Slayer King.”

It would have been a fantasy for Mu Chen in the past to kill a Heavenly Demon Emperor. But now he had a Divine Grade Body and Primordial Immortal Body. In terms of combat power, he was comparable to a middle-stage Divine Grade. Thus, he was powerful enough to slaughter an ordinary Heavenly Demon Emperor.

Mu Chen smiled and clasped his fists in greeting to Qin Tian. “No matter what, I will have to thank you today. Otherwise, I am afraid this would not have ended so easily.” Although he was not afraid of Maha Tian, he did not want to involve the Budur Ancient Clan and the Great Spirit Ancient Clan.

Qin Tian waved his hand and sighed. “Once the three ancient clans go to war, too many people will be involved. Now is not the time for civil strife.” At that point, he paused and said, “Although it is one matter to stop the three ancient clans from warring today, I have another mission.”

With a wave of his sleeve, suddenly rays of golden light shot out. They flew towards Qing Yanjing, Budur Xuan, and the Great Nether Ancestor, and even three flew in the direction where Maha Tian had left. Qing Yanjing and the others received the golden light, their expressions suddenly becoming incomparably solemn.

“This is?” Mu Chen’s gaze flickered, as he was surprised. He faintly sensed that there seemed to be a golden scroll in the golden light.

Qin Tian smiled at Mu Chen and said, “Today, you are also eligible to receive this golden scroll.” A golden light flew out from his sleeve, slowly flying towards Mu Chen. Mu Chen reached out as the golden light landed on his palm. When the golden light dissipated, a golden scroll that looked as if it had been cast out of gold lay quietly in his hands. With a glance, he saw three ancient words printed on the golden scroll: Great Thousand Scroll.
