As soon as the Immortal Mother spoke, everyone felt an extreme sense of incredulity.
But this is the Lord of the Immortal Realm!
She is no doubt the embodiment of the Celestial Dao Origin.
Hasn't she always been the type to crush those she disapproves of under a great calamity, rendering them eternally damned?
Moreover, Jiang Cheng had just directly attacked her.
Under such circumstances, she still offered him a 'chance to change', which seemed too lenient, didn't it?
However, upon reflection, a ridiculous suspicion arose in everyone's mind—could it be that the Lord of the Immortal Realm is unable to deal with Jiang Cheng?
Impossible, right?
How could the dignified Lord of the Immortal Realm be unable to handle a being from her own realm?
Yet, Brother Cheng did not appreciate this gesture.
"Do I need your forgiveness?"
"Let me tell you plainly, I'm going to destroy the Immortal Alliance and the Holy Hall; no one can stop me!"
"This has nothing to do with your so-called great calamity."
"Whether you initiate or stop it, it will not affect my decision."
The Immortal Mother said calmly, "It seems you are determined to be incorrigible."
"So what if I am? What can you do about it?"
"From now on, the Heart of Rule will not recognize you. No matter how you cultivate, you will never become the dominator of any Heart of Rule!"
As the Immortal Mother finished speaking, auspicious clouds lingered in the sky above the Immortal Realm, with celestial music reverberating.
All Hearts of Rule simultaneously responded at this moment.
Everyone had a sudden realization: Jiang Cheng really could no longer become an Immortal Emperor.
The Immortal Alliance and the Holy Hall were ecstatic, whereas the Demon Realm was in a state of utter panic.
This was beyond terrible news for all of the Demon Race.
A celestial being, regardless of talent, at least theoretically still had the possibility of becoming an emperor.
But Jiang Cheng's path had been completely sealed off by the Celestial Dao Origin.
This would be a huge blow to any quasi-emperor.
Yet Brother Cheng seemed completely unaffected.
"Your methods are inadequate!"
He shook his finger in disappointment.
"Not adequate at all."
Next to him, Cang Ling and Xuanming wanted to cover his mouth again.
Brother, say a few less words. If this continues, you might find it hard to stand your ground in the Immortal Realm.
But Brother Cheng was resolute and unwavering.
"I may not be an Immortal Emperor now, but I can already cut down the Emperor Realm like they are weeds."
His gaze fell upon those gloating immortals and demons.
"How long can you protect them?"
"Can you protect the ones I want to kill for their entire lives?"
The meaning behind these calm words was shocking.
The Demon Realm army, which had been filled with resentment, felt a rush of hot blood to the head.
They were all so excited that they shouted loudly.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Arrogant and unruly, the nature of our Demon Race!"
"Stand equal against the Immortal Realm, this is the true Master of the Grand Demon!"
At this moment, Jiang Cheng was the god in the hearts of countless Demon Race members.
"Even the Celestial Dao cannot stop our Demon Lord!"
"Our Demon Race vows to follow to the death, never yielding to so-called great powers!"
On the other side, Jiu Jue and Dark Phecda's expressions changed dramatically; if not even the Celestial Dao could protect them, then who could?
"Listen, listen…"
"He intends to oppose the great power of the Celestial Dao…"
"He truly is the First Demon of the Six Realms!"
"Immortal Mother, we beseech you to unleash divine might and eliminate this scourge!"
They were all in a panic, denouncing and roaring.
Some even hoped the Immortal Mother could grant them some mysterious power to help them slay Jiang Cheng.
Faced with Jiang Cheng's declaration of war, the Immortal Mother simply raised her hand again.
A faintly visible nine-colored line appeared out of thin air.
The line formed an arc, spreading countless miles, extending to the ends of the Immortal Realm.
This line only appeared for a few seconds before disappearing into the void.
"From now on, those possessing powers not belonging to the Immortal Realm will be unable to cross this line."
She currently stood in a place deep within the Immortal Realm, billions of miles in a straight line from Immortal Demon Mountain.
On the opposite side of the line was the Demon Realm and that billion-mile range, which, in comparison to the entire Immortal Realm, was just a small part.
Behind the line lay the vast Immortal and Demon Realms and other huge areas like the herworld, Barbaric Realm, and Spirit Realm.
After she spoke, the Great Derivation Immortal Emperor and Cang Luo Demon Emperor, who had previously fled deep into the Immortal and Demon Realms, were all pushed out by an invisible force.
The reason was simple: they had cultivated Profound Pattern Power.
That was also a power that did not belong to the Immortal Realm.
Brother Cheng even tried it specifically.
He found that he could still cross the line but, after crossing, could neither see nor touch anyone.
It was as if he had appeared in another space.
He returned and sighed leisurely.
"Is that it?"
To be honest, he was actually looking forward to the Immortal Mother killing him.
That way, the system might activate some cheat, definitely turning it into a super big killer.
But it seemed this woman had no lethal power; she couldn't take him down at all.
And once this line was drawn, he was rendered powerful yet incapable of utilizing his abilities.
In the future, as long as the Immortal Alliance and the Holy Hall stayed within the Immortal and Demon Realms, he wouldn't be able to destroy them anytime soon.
On the opposite side, both Jiu Jue Immortal Emperor and Dark Phecda Demon Emperor finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Hahaha, thank the Immortal Mother for saving us!"
"We are eternally grateful and will never forget!"
"Jiang Cheng, what else can you do?"
"We are here, just come over and kill us!"
"No matter how strong you are, what's the use?"
"So you practiced forbidden power; sooner or later, you'll suffer celestial punishment!"
They were no longer afraid.
Without Jiang Cheng, neither Cang Ling, Xuanming, nor Cangxu as Great Emperors could compete with the Immortal Alliance Holy Hall.
And Brother Cheng was almost amused by them.
"Are you so confident?"
He teased deliberately, "What if I suddenly cross over one day?"
"You…"
Jiu Jue and Dark Phecda were taken aback, immediately flying into a rage.
"You dare!"
"Threatening us right in front of the Immortal Mother?"
"Please, Immortal Mother, stand up for us!"
"This person is too arrogant!"
"Please banish him from the Immortal Realm, never to appear again!"
They had also realized that the Immortal Mother couldn't kill Jiang Cheng.
Perhaps she didn't even have conventional attack methods.
After all, the Dao does not directly attack people; hence, banishment was the only option.
However, the Immortal Mother did not heed them.
"If, in the future, you can cross this line, it would mean you have overcome the Dao, and from then on, nothing would be forbidden to you."
After saying this, her figure gradually disappeared.
The armies from both sides looked at each other in bewilderment—was this meant to be a wager?
Really, like this?
Which side was this Immortal Mother even on?
For a moment, they didn't know how to act.
With Jiang Cheng present, neither the Immortal nor the Demon Realms dared to cross the line and counterattack.
And with Jiang Cheng unable to cross the line, the experts from the Demon and Spirit Realms couldn't overpower the Immortal Alliance Holy Hall, so they didn't dare to continue the pursuit.
Ultimately, both sides chose to withdraw their troops by mutual understanding.
Brother Cheng led the Demon Race army back to the Demon Realm, and the experts from the Immortal Alliance and the Holy Hall also returned to their respective sects.
A war that spanned the four realms came to an end.
But the aftermath of this battle would not be so easily erased.
