When they saw Wang Xiao and the others, they all breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went up to greet them.

"The Celestial Master is back!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Master!"

"Master Wang, the... the Celestial Demon... is it dealt with?"

Everyone looked at Wang Xiao, their expressions a mixture of anxiety and anticipation.

Wang Xiao nodded. "There is no need to worry. We have dealt with the Celestial Demon. From now on, you can all live and cultivate in peace."

Upon receiving Wang Xiao’s definitive answer, the heavy weight on everyone’s hearts was finally lifted.

An immense wave of joy instantly washed over them.

’We survived!’

’We survived the great calamity of Heaven and Earth!’

Wang Xiao said no more. He and the other Dao Realm experts began discussing the matter of sealing the heavens.

「One month later.」

Once everyone had fully prepared the sealing materials, they set out directly for the Celestial Demon Sealed Lands throughout the Nine Provinces.

Wang Xiao also took Ji Chuchu and quietly left Dragon Tiger Mountain.

「An hour later.」

He arrived in Bingzhou.

The first Celestial Demon, Candle, was hidden here!

This Candle had absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism for over a hundred thousand years, making it the most difficult to deal with.

Wang Xiao planned to devour it first. ’As long as I deal with Candle, the remaining Celestial Demons will be easy to handle!’

At this moment, the entirety of Bingzhou was a scene of utter devastation, with scarcely a single person in sight.

Across the vast expanse of the land, only two dragon-like rivers flowed, converging at their junction to form a lake.

Sin-Washing Lake!

The Celestial Demon Candle was right beneath Sin-Washing Lake!

"Master, are you going to deal with the Celestial Demon Candle completely?" Ji Chuchu couldn’t help but ask.

Although Wang Xiao hadn’t said what he was here to do, Ji Chuchu had already vaguely guessed.

Wang Xiao spoke, "Yes. Chuchu, you also have a trace of Candle’s bloodline in your body. You can refine some of its flesh and blood later. It will be beneficial for your future cultivation."

"Yes," Ji Chuchu said respectfully.

Wang Xiao said no more, sitting down cross-legged on the ground to wait patiently.

「Seven days later.」

Wang Xiao finally rose to his feet and gazed up at the heavens.

Just then, RUMBLE! Nine pillars of unimaginably brilliant light shot up into the sky simultaneously from all over the Nine Provinces!

These pillars of light suddenly converged.

In an instant, the entire sky was filled with a swirling, auspicious mist, shot through with a thousand rays of colorful light!

An endless curtain of light seemed to form countless cages, completely sealing off the Heaven and Earth of the Nine Provinces.

At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism of each province was severed from the others, as if they had become independent entities!

’It’s time!’

Wang Xiao took a drop of Ji Chuchu’s fresh blood and dripped it onto the Divine Emperor’s Jade Seal.

HUM!

A faint golden glow suddenly erupted forth.

Wang Xiao then attached Three Inches of the Human World to it and, with a flick of his finger,

WHOOSH!

The Divine Emperor’s Jade Seal shot out at extreme speed. Guided by the aura of Ji Chuchu’s bloodline, it tore open Space and flew toward the Celestial Demon Candle’s location.

Of course, with Wang Xiao’s current abilities, he could have located the Celestial Demon Candle even without Ji Chuchu’s bloodline.

It would have just taken a little more time.

As his Divine Thought swept out, Wang Xiao saw the Celestial Demon Candle’s colossal, dragon-like body lying prone on the vast earth.

With every breath, it was devouring the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism!

Just then, under his control, Three Inches of the Human World emitted a scorching repulsive force.

The Celestial Demon Candle’s body burst right through Space and abruptly appeared beneath the earth.

Wang Xiao formed a hand seal, and the Power of the Earth Veins surged forth, moving the Celestial Demon Candle—a creature so colossal it could almost occupy an entire province—out into the open.

Its body was like a true dragon of legend, stretching for countless miles!

After being moved out, it instinctively opened its eyes and let out a heaven-shaking roar!

"ROAR!"

Waves of sound, like crashing surf and rolling thunder, ravaged the surroundings!

Caught in the blast, Ji Chuchu felt his body tremble uncontrollably, a shudder that came from the very depths of his soul!

’This... this is a Celestial Demon?!’

’It’s too terrifying!’

’And Master has already dealt with one of these before!’

This gave him a completely new appreciation for his master’s power.

"Excellent. Full of spirit. I imagine the quality of your flesh and blood must be quite good!"

Wang Xiao let out a wild laugh as his body suddenly shot upward, instantly growing tens of thousands of feet tall!

He faced the head-rearing Celestial Demon Candle and slammed a palm down heavily!

BOOM!

A territory spanning thousands of miles trembled, as if battered by monstrous waves or crushed by a toppling Divine Mountain.

In an instant, the Celestial Demon Candle was pinned to the ground by Wang Xiao’s palm, unable to move.

Wang Xiao opened his mouth and began to swiftly devour the Celestial Demon Candle.

He was now a true master of the Heaven and Earth technique; dealing with a Celestial Demon that had only achieved the Heaven and Earth state in its physical body was an effortless task.

A violent aura swept out, and waves of spiritual energy constantly radiated from the scene.

Immersed within it, Ji Chuchu felt his blood begin to boil, and his Gang Qi started circulating on its own.

His eyes sharpened. He knew that even this leaked spiritual energy would be of immense benefit to him, so he didn’t dare to delay and immediately began refining it.

「A short while later.」

All the commotion in Bingzhou vanished, and tranquility returned.

However, there was no longer any sign of the Celestial Demon Candle.

At that moment, Sin-Washing Lake became ordinary once more, no longer possessing any special qualities.

After devouring the Celestial Demon Candle, Wang Xiao felt his physical body elevate once again.

A rampaging power boiled within him, a force that felt capable of toppling mountains, overturning seas, and shattering everything in its path!

He knew he was not far from his tenth Limit Breaking: Vacuum Shattering.

Without any further delay, Wang Xiao’s figure flickered, and he headed for the next Celestial Demon’s hiding place.

Having devoured the most powerful Celestial Demon Candle, Wang Xiao naturally had no trouble devouring the remaining Celestial Demons.

The Celestial Demon Di, the Celestial Demon Chi, the Celestial Demon Hui, the Celestial Demon Fei, the Celestial Demon Jiao...
