"Um?"
Holy Emperor Jiang’s face showed a trace of confusion and solemnity. His heart uncontrollably pounded, as if sensing something extremely unsettling. With his temperament, he even felt a faint sense of panic. This made him vaguely realize something.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a point of light appeared in the gloomy sky, rapidly expanding, vast and bright, like the light at the beginning of heaven and earth being split apart. The countless demon monsters and their emitted dense shades of Monster Qi were unexpectedly dispersed, impervious to all laws!
At the center of that brilliant divine light stood a towering figure, like a Heavenly God, clad in silver armor. His deep, dark eyes were profound as the ocean. He stood there, motionless, yet he was the sole center of the universe. The battling forces of demon monsters and humans all inexplicably ceased their fighting.
"He... he is..."
The appearance of the man in silver armor, resembling a Heavenly God, shocked everyone.
This silver-armored man seemed not of this world but a god, a transcendent one!
Su Changkong vaguely realized the identity of this man.
Hua Shan’s aged face also showed an unbelievable expression. To him, seeing this silver-armored man was even more incredible than seeing a Heavenly Demon God.
"Jiang Changsheng...how could you..."
Hua Shan’s voice was somewhat hoarse. With his experience of countless challenges and being indifferent to life and death, he was somewhat breathless at the moment.
Because this silver-armored man was the least likely to betray humankind, yet here he was right before his eyes.
"He is... ancestor!"
Holy Emperor Jiang, too, could hardly believe his eyes as he watched the silver-armored man who bore a resemblance to himself.
"First Saint...Jiang Changsheng!"
Su Changkong clenched his fists, understanding the identity of the man.
First Saint, Jiang Changsheng!

Among the Nine Great Ancient Sages, standing at the pinnacle of the human realm, they all had their strengths and unique capabilities, difficult to categorize as who was stronger or weaker. However, if there was to be the strongest among them, undoubtedly, it would be the one called the First Saint, Jiang Changsheng!
The First Saint was the leader among the Nine Great Ancient Sages. He emerged in response to the era, a prodigy unseen before and likely never to be seen again, able to take heaven and earth as his teacher, naturally realizing powerful divine abilities.
His power was beyond outsiders’ comprehension. Even before he had ever refined the pieces of Heavenly Dao, he was the deserving number one person uncontested, even the Heavenly Demons could not outwit him!
With the First Saint present, any impossible situation could be turned around, reversing the fates. He himself was a person of grand ambitions.
For such a person to betray humankind was something Hua Shan found hard to accept.
The First Saint’s face was expressionless, but in the depths of his eyes, there was a hint of complexity as he returned to this Ancient Holy Country that he had once painstakingly forged, yet under such an identity.
"Let the other Heavenly Demons cease fighting, leave the rest to me to resolve."
The First Saint said to Hai Ye.
The First Saint’s tone was calm, but it was undoubtedly commanding, as if an emperor naturally speaking from above.
This made Hai Ye’s lips twitch; he was a Heavenly Demon, an envoy of the Ancient Demon God, yet this First Saint, a traitor to the human race, addressed him with such a commanding tone, a position of superiority, naturally angering Hai Ye who had already suffered a great loss at the hands of Su Changkong.
This made Hai Ye involuntarily speak sarcastically: "Jiang Changsheng, you a traitor, what right do you have to order..."
But before Hai Ye could finish his words, a flicker of cold light shone from the eyes of the First Saint, his right hand slightly reaching out.
"Puff puff puff puff puff!"
In the next instant, five blazing white beams of light flashed, and before Hai Ye could react, he felt extreme pain all over his body as his head and limbs were pierced, creating bowl-sized bloody holes.
"Ah ah ah!"
Hai Ye screamed agonizingly as the blazing white flames continued to burn around the edges of the wounds, feeling like his soul was being burnt as well.
"My Heavenly Demon’s Immortal Body... to be so easily..."
Amidst his wails, Hai Ye was even more horrified.
The First Saint was strong, recognized by both humans and demon monsters, but having clashed with the First Saint in previous tumults, he could not have broken through his Heavenly Demon’s Immortal Body so effortlessly!
Hai Ye hurriedly urged his demonic power, with tremendous difficulty dispelling the blazing white flames attached to the wound, leaving him feeling profoundly relieved, looking at the First Saint with a gaze full of dread.
The First Saint coldly stared at him: "Talk more nonsense with me, and I’ll kill all of you, still achieving my goal!"
Hai Ye’s lips twitched, but he didn’t dare to speak out and provoke further, inviting more trouble.
The battlefield suddenly grew quiet.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
And in the void, figures continuously appeared: Space Saint Mo Kong, swiftly arriving at this location with the other three Ancient Sages. They too had learned of the First Saint’s arrival, forcing them to hurry here, otherwise a single Ancient Saint facing the First Saint would just be an outright resolution!
"Jiang Changsheng, what in the world has happened to you? Has your brain gone bad? Are you really going to turn your hand against your brothers from the past?"
Fighting Saint Zhan Wushuang, seeing the First Saint, couldn’t help but burst out cursing.
They had been comrades-in-arms, brothers who had lived and died together, and could not fathom the First Saint taking a stand on the opposite side and betraying humankind.
The First Saint’s eyes showed a hint of complexity; he sighed and said, "Gentlemen, some things are unchangeable, even if today we annihilate these demon monsters, it won’t help in the least, and may even hasten the destruction of this world, unable to alter the outcome. Sometimes tough choices must be made... I hope you can trust me and stand by my side, like before."
