Chef was the assistant of the plane. Naturally, his powers were limited. The attacks from the other planes became more and more intense.
Yi Qing tightened his grip around his sword and walked forward. Then, his body swayed. The pain in his chest was getting more unbearable as the blood continued to flow out of his body.
“Chef!” Shen Ying exclaimed. “Don’t move around. This space is sealing your powers. The more you try to fight it, the greater the impact will be.”
Shen Ying instructed him while she tapped away even more quickly at her screen. She was trying to find the gap in the plane. Attacks banged constantly on the layer of protection above her head. With each sound, more and more cracks began to appear on the protective layer. The white light that they were shaded from was seeping in through the cracks.
“Master!” Yi Qing screamed. He pulled the woman in front of him into his arms, so that the white beams hit him instead of her.
There was a loud crash from afar, as if something had exploded. The white light suddenly disappeared. A hole suddenly appeared in the snow white space. It looked like someone had opened a window.Yi Qing’s cultivation was no longer suppressed. Instead, he felt his powers flow back through his body.
“Chef, get out!” Shen Ying said.
It was then that Yi Qing regained his composure. He mounted his sword and flew out of the hole. In a flash, he was back at the boundary between the immortal and demonic realms.
“Sect Master, Elder!” Yu Hong exclaimed, overjoyed to see them again. There was a large group of people beside her. On closer inspection, they realized that it was the ten Celestial Emperors and Skyfiends, as well as Little Black.
“Exalted Goddess, Celestial Emperor Yi Qing. What happened over here?” Celestial Emperor Chen Ge stepped forward and asked anxiously. He pointed behind them. “This glacier is..”
The strange movements that occurred earlier were felt across all the different continents. What they had just witnessed was even more frightening than when they saw the immortal realm and demonic realm merge together. What’s more, the movement seemed to be radiating from the Bo Sea. Their first reaction was to come and look for the Exalted Goddess, yet they found themselves trapped in a glacier instead.
Yi Qing turned back and saw that everything underneath him had turned to ice. In the middle of it was a ball. That was where they were trapped. There was a hole on the top of the ball. Faintly, they could still see the cracks caused by the immortal power that had been attacking them. It was obvious that Yu Hong and the others were responsible for it.
“Exalted Goddess, are you alright?” The other people in the group all focused their attention on Shen Ying. “What exactly is that?”
Shen Ying paused. Who... are these people?
“It’s something from the deviant realm,” Yi Qing explained, stepping forward. “We cannot let this carry on, otherwise the immortal realm and the demonic realm will both be in trouble.” He turned to face Yu Hong and Little Black and continued to explain himself. “Look after Master.”
The moment he finished speaking, he flew out once again. Suddenly, flames and swords rained down from the sky, toward the huge glacier beneath him..
Everybody exchanged looks with one another. They were beginning to understand that the problem was extremely serious. One by one, they followed Yi Qing and flew out. “Celestial Emperor Yi Qing, let us help you!”
The source of the layer of ice was strange. What’s more, they had sensed the realm gate for themselves earlier. Since this problem concerned both the immortal and demonic realms, they could not possibly just stand by and watch.
Afterall, all of them were Celestial Emperors. Suddenly, the sky lit up with different types of light from the different types of sorcery that each person in the group employed. The layer of ice reduced in size bit by bit before their eyes.
The strange white beam they saw earlier lit up the entire place once again, turning everything snow white.
A painful cry echoed through the air. Celestial Emperor Little Biao held his arm and fell over. If Little Birdie had not caught him in time, he would have fallen to the ground. Fresh blood flowed steadily from Little Biao’s arm. The wound on his arm was so deep that they could see right through to his bones. The scary thing was that nobody saw what had hit him.
“Be careful, everyone! There could be invisible things flying around in the air. They might be undetectable, even to our divine perceptions,” Yi Qing called out as he tried to defend the person beside him from several waves of attacks.
Everyone’s expressions darkened. One by one, they set up their own defensive arrays. Despite that, however, a couple of them still got injured. A few minutes later, they realized they had no choice but to stop and gather together in order to continue fighting.
Even Little Black quickly activated his demonic Qi and set up a gray layer of protection around himself, Yu Hong and Shen Ying. He took the chance to grab Yu Hong’s hand and shout, “Honey, be careful!” Once he finished, he turned to Shen Ying and weakly said, “You too, Exalted Goddess.”
Yu Hong frowned, but she did not shake his hand off.
Shen Ying, on the other hand, did not seem to have heard him. She continued to stare at her screen, oblivious to the romance taking place just beside her. She was frowning, obviously deep in thought.
“Exalted Goddess, what is that?” Little Black could not help but ask. “Why are there invisible items that even our divine perceptions cannot detect? Aren’t we just dealing with the true form of that layer of ice?” How come they are now being attacked?”
Shen Ying flicked her wrist. The true form...
Suddenly, she thought of something. She tapped the screen once again and a flurry of images appeared. Shen Ying narrowed her eyes. Indeed, the true form of that thing was not ice – it was light!
She raised her head to look at the group of people. She had not noticed before, but now she discovered that the only people who were getting injured were the Celestial Emperors. The demons and Skyfiends, on the other hand, were perfectly fine. It was almost as if the thing was avoiding them. Shen Ying’s eyes brightened as she turned back to face Little Black.
“Hey, Little Green?”
“...” Who is Little Green?
“Little Dog? Little Elephant? Little Whatever? You know I’m talking to you!”
“... I’m Little Black.” Oh, how his heart hurt! Why were the nicknames that the Exalted Goddess was coming up with getting more and more unusual?

“Use demonic Qi to cover up this entire area.” Shen Ying gesture toward their surroundings. “Don’t leave even a bit of light. You can do that, right?”
Little Black paused. Although he did not quite understand what she was talking about, he nodded. “I’ll try my best.”
He shot a look at Yu Hong, and tightened his hold on her hand. Then, he let go and flew off. A moment later, loads of demonic Qi flowed out of his body. They covered the sky like dark clouds on a stormy day. It was noontime, yet the afternoon light seemed to have disappeared. Instead, a chilling aura filled the air.
“Demonic Qi!” The Celestial Emperors exclaimed. “Why is Demon King Little Black suddenly-”
“Wait! Everyone, look!” Someone shouted.
Everyone looked and saw the originally “invisible” figures begin to take shape. Now that everything was dark, they could faintly see blur human figures flying around. Although their features were unclear, they were pretty sure they looked like humans.
All the Celestial Emperors immediately reacted.
“Quick, use your demonic Qi to force them to show themselves.”
The ten Skyfiends activated their own demonic Qi, which they earlier held back for fear of harming the Celestial Emperors. Now that they knew their demonic Qi could force the formless creatures to show themselves, they did not bother holding back any longer.
A wealth of demonic Qi filled the area. Coupled with the fact that they were already closer to the demonic realm in the first place, it took them less than a minute to cause everything to darken and for the demonic Qi to thicken.
The blurred figures in the air were getting clearer and clearer. They could slowly make out their silhouettes, their figures, their features...
When they could finally make out the human figures around them, every single person in the group widened his eyes in disbelief. Together, they shouted.
“Lonemoon!”
It was Father Niu! Many, many Father Nius!
