Demonic cultivation, from the first to the third level, is the stage of accumulating demonic energy, and qualitative change only occurs from the fourth level. Fourth-level Demon Kings can use combat skills and demonic secret techniques; Fifth-level Demon Venerables can display the unique demonic power of the Warcraft Star; Sixth-level Demon Venerables can refine evil into their bodies and refine magical pills; Seventh-level Demon Emperors will find their own path of cultivation and move towards the laws of the demon race; Eighth-level Demon Emperors will walk the demonic path, and on the long road to the ninth level, the demonic laws will gradually respond, causing them to form unique demonic sounds. The demonic sound quenching body can enhance their demonic body, demonic energy, and demonic mind.

It can be said that the most powerful part of an eighth-level Demon Emperor is their demonic body, demonic energy, and demonic mind forged by demonic sounds, as well as their secret techniques.

But in front of the sword light falling from the sky, these were as thin and fragile as paper, and could be broken with a single blow. The sword light swept past two eighth-level Demon Emperors, plunged deep into the ground, and disappeared silently without making a sound.

The Guangming tribe members who were still on their way saw this scene from a distance, and they were all shocked speechless. Before them, a bottomless black abyss appeared silently.

Many Guangming tribe members looked at each other and fell silent.

They had originally planned to help, thinking that with their strength, coupled with Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi, they should be able to destroy this small, high-level corps of the Dark Demon Clan. However, what they never expected was that the two eighth-level demon emperors of this small, high-level corps were so vulnerable in front of Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi, and they didn't even have a chance to form a magic formation with their soldiers.

The Light People slowed down. If they suddenly flew away like this, the scene would be a bit embarrassing, but if they didn't go up to greet them, it would be even more embarrassing.

But they didn't struggle for long, and they saw a scene that shocked them even more.

Light and shadow suddenly appeared beside Ji Jiayu.

It was a tall woman wearing a golden veil. Because they were too far away, they couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but based on her golden veil and temperament alone, many of the people of light recognized her as the head of the Sacred Sect, the Great Prophet they spoke of.

The group of light clansmen immediately bowed in the air.

At the same time, Ji Jiayu was also quite surprised by the sudden arrival of the Great Prophet.

"Great Prophet!" Ji Jiayu hurriedly called out.

"Great Prophet." Nie Lanxi also arrived.

"In the past three years, you have performed very well." The Great Prophet first praised him, and then said, "Return to the Sacred City as soon as possible. The situation is critical and urgent. I will immediately arrange for you to break through to the seventh rank and break the deadlock."

Although Ji Jiayu didn't know what to do to break the deadlock, when he thought that he could save everyone from the fire and water, he immediately nodded: "Yes."

As soon as those words fell, the Great Prophet nodded at the two of them, then turned into a streak of light and disappeared without a trace. In the next instant, Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi simultaneously activated the Yang Angel Sacred Technique, and a pair of wings condensed by sunlight sprouted from behind them. The two of them gently flapped their wings and soared into the air.

Before leaving, Ji Jiayu nodded to the group of Light Clan members rushing from afar, then turned into a streamer and disappeared into the sky.

At that moment, the Holy City once again entered a state of first-level combat readiness.

Because the Light Barrier covered the Holy City, and the City of Light and Darkness was above the Light Barrier, the Holy City had been in a state of combat readiness for a long time. According to the Defense Council's statutes, level 1 combat readiness was a state where war could break out at any moment.

Would the Light and Dark Demons launch an all-out war? Or would the Guangming Clan counterattack? No one at the bottom of the Guangming Clan knew; they simply acted according to instructions and prepared to fight.

On the other side, the members of the Defense Council were holding a meeting in the parliament hall. This meeting was not chaired by Speaker Lei Xiaoqing, but by the Great Prophet.

"The Great Prophet suddenly called a meeting. What's going on?"

"There won't be a war, right? But we're not prepared for war at all. Are you going to negotiate peace?"

The meeting came so suddenly, and many members were discussing it privately, which was quite unsettling.

After all, the Light and Dark Demons were forced to their doorstep, and it was normal for them to have differing opinions. In fact, the number of peace negotiators had gradually increased in the past two years, and they were almost mainstream, but they were still not as good as the major war factions.

How many people could withstand a demon forced to the capital's gates? This was extremely humiliating. It was unknown how many people had poisoned and vowed to destroy the Light and Dark Demons.

While many members were discussing, the Great Prophet closed his eyes until footsteps came from the door of the council hall.

Everyone followed his gaze and saw two familiar and unfamiliar figures walking towards the long table. The familiarity was due to having been watching these two people for over a year; it was strange because many of them had never seen them before.

Unsurprisingly, the guests were Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi.

Rushing from a thousand kilometers away to the Holy City, it took the two of them three days, during which they traversed numerous areas occupied by Light and Dark Demons, surrounded by danger, but they still arrived at their destination.

"Ji Jiayu! Nie Lanxi!" Several members of parliament at the scene immediately stood up. Where have you been for over a year?"

"You're finally willing to return!"

Besides the member of parliament who spoke, the other members were pondering the significance of the Great Prophet's meeting and the appearance of Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi.

This was a big deal!

After the two entered the council hall, they walked directly towards the Great Prophet. At the same time, the Great Prophet opened his eyes and looked at the many council members below. "If you want to expel the Light-Dark Demon Clan, there are two conditions: one is to break the Light Barrier, and the other is to destroy Light-Dark City. The Light Barrier contains the power of the Great Heavenly God, and Light-Dark City is the source of its power."

"In other words, if we want to penetrate the Light-Dark City, whether to disrupt it or destroy it, we must first enter it. This is something that those below the Star God, Moon God, and I cannot do. We must rely on them."

The Great Prophet looked at Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi at the side.

Ji Jiayu was a little confused. He and Nie Lanxi were simply following orders to attend the meeting, and they didn't know what they were going to do or what they were carrying.

"Those two?"

"The Pearl of Holy Light?"

Among the many council members present, the weakest was also a peak ninth-rank Ming Sheng. Most of them were Ming gods, so it was naturally clear that Ji Jiayu only had a sixth-rank cultivation, which was impossible on his own, but with the addition of the Sacred Pearl, it was different.

For the person in charge of the Seven Divine Beads, a seventh-rank was completely different from a sixth-rank.

"Well, it's the Sacred Light Pearl. Once he's promoted to seventh-rank, he'll gain new abilities, and he'll be able to enter the City of Light and Darkness at that time. But it can't be just a simple promotion, so I'll take him to the Sun God Tree for his promotion."
