In this earth-shattering confrontation, the combined attack of Chen Qingxuan, Feng Yi, and Feng Wuhen collided with the Devil God Incarnation’s Nether Shield, generating unimaginable destructive power.
After the light dissipated, the Devil God Incarnation was still standing, but the Nether Fire around him had dimmed considerably, clearly indicating that this strike had dealt him a significant blow.
However, under this shockwave, the Nether Breaking Boundary Formation could not withstand it and collapsed with a roar.
“Damn it! You all shall die!” The Devil God Incarnation let out a deafening roar, and the Nether Fire around him blazed fiercely once more.
This time, the flames were mixed with an even denser Devilish Qi, clearly showing that he was enraged to the extreme and was preparing to unleash even more terrifying methods.
Although Chen Qingxuan, Feng Yi, and Feng Wuhen successfully destroyed the Nether Breaking Boundary Formation, they paid a huge price for it.
Their Spiritual Qi was almost exhausted, and their bodies had sustained injuries to varying degrees.
“Junior Brother Chen, Junior Brother Feng, I’ll hold them off, you two flee quickly!”
Feng Yi’s eyes flickered with determination as he transmitted this thought to the two.
Before his words fell, Feng Yi’s figure swayed, and he ignited his vital blood.
His Spiritual Qi instantly surged, and a tragic yet resolute aura permeated the air.
“Senior Brother Feng, no!”
Chen Qingxuan and Feng Wuhen shouted in unison.
Feng Yi’s action was undoubtedly a desperate gamble with his life, attempting to buy them time to escape.
Feng Yi’s will was firm, and he roared in a low voice: “Go quickly! This is an order!”
Before his words fell, he had transformed into a streak of light, carrying monstrous rage and unyielding will, charging directly towards the Devil God Incarnation and engaging him in battle.
For a moment, it seemed as if only their figures fiercely clashing remained in the world.
Chen Qingxuan and Feng Wuhen exchanged glances, seeing pain and reluctance in each other’s eyes, understanding how rare the opportunity Feng Yi was sacrificing himself to create for them to escape was.
At this moment, the Devil Cultivator army led by You Yuan, Xue Ying, and the blood-robed old man charged towards them with overwhelming killing intent.
“Junior Brother Feng, we must go, for Senior Brother Feng, and for our mission.” Chen Qingxuan took a deep breath, suppressing the grief in his heart, and took out a Talisman from his storage ring—a Spatial Teleportation Talisman, glowing with a faint golden light, inscribed with complex runes, containing powerful spatial force.
This Talisman was a Seventh-Rank Dao Talisman, the Spatial Teleportation Talisman, given to them by Li Mu before he left.
Chen Qingxuan tightly gripped the Talisman, his eyes revealing determination and hope.
He gathered his Spiritual Qi and quickly activated the Spatial Teleportation Talisman in his hand.
Instantly, the Spatial Teleportation Talisman erupted with dazzling light, completely enveloping Chen Qingxuan and Feng Wuhen.
The light flickered, and space seemed to be torn apart, as a powerful suction force pulled them into it.
“Trying to escape! Stop them!”
Perceiving their actions, the Devil God Incarnation roared furiously.
Streaks of black Devilish Qi overflowed from his fingertips, quickly coalescing into a complex forbidden Formation, forming an invisible restraining force that pressed down on the light of the Spatial Teleportation Talisman, tightly binding it.
Chen Qingxuan and Feng Wuhen felt a powerful force firmly holding them in place, unable to move an inch, and their expressions drastically changed.
“Get out of my way!” Feng Yi roared, and the Green Iris in his hand suddenly slashed out.
A brilliant Sword Qi, like a meteor, streaked across the sky, heading straight for the Devil God Incarnation.
The Devil God Incarnation had to divert his attention to deal with Feng Yi’s attack.
He snorted coldly, and his figure flickered, easily dodging Feng Yi’s attack.
But this momentary distraction caused the restraining force he had placed on Chen Qingxuan and Feng Wuhen to briefly loosen.
Chen Qingxuan and Feng Wuhen seized the opportunity, rapidly activating the Spatial Teleportation Talisman, successfully breaking through the restraining force.
Their figures flashed and vanished in the light, instantly disappearing from their original spot.
“You all chase them for me! If they escape, you all die too!”
The Devil God Incarnation was furious beyond measure, his Devilish Qi boiling around him, as if to devour the entire world.
At his command, the Devil Cultivator army surged like a tide, frantically pursuing in the direction where Chen Qingxuan and Feng Wuhen had vanished.
Seeing this, Feng Yi’s lips curved into a bitter smile.
Although he had bought his two Junior Brothers a chance to escape, he was powerless to stop the pursuit of those people.
“Come on, Devil Head, even if I die today, I will send you to your grave!”
Feng Yi roared, his Spiritual Qi boiling once more.
He burned his last life force, engaging in a desperate struggle with the Devil God Incarnation.
The battle was exceptionally fierce.
Feng Yi poured all his strength into every move, and under his desperate efforts, the Devil God Incarnation seemed to struggle to cope.
However, as time passed, Feng Yi’s Spiritual Qi gradually depleted, and cracks began to appear in his body.
His life force was about to extinguish.
On the other side, Chen Qingxuan and Feng Wuhen only felt their vision go black, and then they lost all sensation.
When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in an unfamiliar Star Domain, still within the Nine Underworld Star Region.
“Senior Brother Chen, where are we? Elder Li’s Dao Talisman actually teleported us to the other side of the Nine Underworld Star Region?” Feng Wuhen looked around, his eyes filled with both surprise and confusion.
Chen Qingxuan looked around, trying to find clues to escape from the surrounding Star Domain.
“This Star Domain is indeed unfamiliar, but thankfully it’s safe.
Elder Li’s Spatial Teleportation Talisman is truly extraordinary, capable of traversing such vast distances.” Chen Qingxuan sighed with emotion.
As the two were speaking, a sudden strong Spiritual Qi fluctuation came from afar, accompanied by a roaring sound, as if a great battle was taking place in that Star Domain.
The Spiritual Qi fluctuation contained a familiar yet unfamiliar aura, making Chen Qingxuan and Feng Wuhen’s hearts tighten.
They exchanged glances, and their Great Vehicle Dao Lord Divine Thought quickly swept towards the direction from which the Spiritual Qi fluctuation came.
As far as their Divine Thought reached, they saw several figures fiercely clashing in that chaotic and dark Star Domain.
One figure was particularly striking, surrounded by a faint golden light—it was their long-missing Sect Master, Xuantian!
But at this moment, the Sect Master seemed to be trapped by a powerful Formation, surrounded by complex runes and twisted spatial crack , clearly indicating that he was in an unprecedented crisis.
“Sect Master!”
Chen Qingxuan and Feng Wuhen exclaimed almost simultaneously.
They never expected to unexpectedly discover the Sect Master’s whereabouts in this unfamiliar Star Domain.
Without a moment’s hesitation, the two quickly adjusted their state, preparing to go to the rescue.
Chen Qingxuan waved his hand, taking out a flying ship—a Heavenly Sword Warship, ancient in appearance but exuding a rich Sword Qi.
“Junior Brother Feng, quickly get on!” Chen Qingxuan called out, and their figures flashed, already leaping onto the ship.
As Chen Qingxuan infused his Spiritual Qi, the Sky Sword Ship transformed into a streak of light, cutting through the sky, and sped towards the direction where Sect Master Xuantian was located.
The Heavenly Sword Warship shuttled through the dark Star Domain like a silver lightning bolt, rapidly approaching the battlefield.
Chen Qingxuan and Feng Wuhen stared intently ahead, their hearts filled with tension and anticipation.
The upcoming battle would determine the Sect Master’s life and death, and also the fate of the entire Sect.
As the distance closed, they finally saw the situation on the battlefield clearly.
They saw that Sect Master Xuantian was trapped within a huge Formation, Sword Qi raging, resisting the concentrated and extremely dense Nine Nether Qi.
The Scour of the two forces twisted the surrounding space into fragments.
“Qingxuan, Wuhen, you two have advanced to Mahayana! Good! Good! Very good!”
Sect Master Xuantian sensed their arrival.
Despite being in a desperate situation, his transmitted voice was filled with relief and pride, clearly showing how incredibly proud he was of Chen Qingxuan and Feng Wuhen’s growth.
“What’s the use of just two early-stage Mahayana Cultivators coming? The Nine Underworld Demon Emperor won’t let them leave!” Before his words fell, the Sect Master of Taiyi Sect, Lingyun Old Daoist, said in a deep voice.
“It’s rare to have helpers, Fellow Daoist Lingyun, don’t give up on yourself!” The Renhui Holy Monk of Great Buddha Temple spoke up to help.
At this moment, Chen Qingxuan and Feng Wuheng had also discovered the identities of the other two Great Vehicle Dao Lords trapped in this great Formation: they were none other than the two Peak Mahayana Cultivators from Taiyi Sect and Great Buddha Temple.
However, before their words fell, a terrifying will suddenly descended from the Void Realm, like dark clouds pressing down, enveloping the Heavenly Sword Warship carrying Chen Qingxuan and Feng Wuheng, dragging them into the Void Realm Formation.
“Amitabha!”
Seeing this, the Renhui Holy Monk chanted a Buddhist mantra, and a golden Buddhist light instantly shone towards the Heavenly Sword Warship being dragged into the Void Realm Formation, helping them to break free.
“Old Thief Jiuyou! Take this sword!”
Just then, a majestic and angry voice suddenly rang out, like a thunderclap exploding in the Void Realm, it was Xuantian’s voice.
Sect Master Xuantian radiated golden light all over his body, and a long sword in his hand condensed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
The sword tip pointed directly at the Void Realm, attempting to pierce through the invisible restraint.
As Xuantian roared, the long sword was swung out fiercely, and a dazzling sword light cut through the Void Realm, directly pressing towards the terrifying will that was suppressing the Heavenly Sword Warship.
“Boom!”
The sword light and that will collided in the air, erupting in a deafening roar.
The powerful energy fluctuation instantly caused the great Formation to ripple, and the terrifying will could no longer be maintained.
Under the impact of this force, the Heavenly Sword Warship vibrated violently, showing signs of loosening and slowly breaking free from the opponent’s restraint.
“Qingxuan, Wuhen, return to the Sect immediately and bring me the Xuantian Sword!” Sect Master Xuantian urged the two anxiously.
“I trouble you two Fellow Daoists to make a detour to Great Buddha Temple and ask my Disciple, Jin Wu, to bring the Great Buddha Temple’s most treasured artifact—the Vajra Pestle!
In this battle, we need to gather the power of these three supreme treasures to resist the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor!” The Renhui Holy Monk followed up with a plea.
“And our Sect’s ‘Taiyi Divine Pearl’, have Xu Wen bring it!” Lingyun Old Daoist then interjected.
As soon as his words fell, the three suddenly exerted their strength, resisting the Void Realm Formation, earning a precious chance for Chen Qingxuan and Feng Wuhen to escape.
The long sword in Sect Master Xuantian’s hand shone again, condensing an even more magnificent Sword Qi, forming a protective shield that firmly enveloped the Heavenly Sword Warship carrying Chen Qingxuan and Feng Wuhen.
“Sect Master, who is this Nine Underworld Demon Emperor, and why are you trapped here?!”
Chen Qingxuan was anxious, controlling the Heavenly Sword Warship while transmitting a query to Sect Master Xuantian.
Sect Master Xuantian’s voice echoed in Chen Qingxuan’s Sea of Consciousness, saying heavily: “The Nine Underworld Demon Emperor is an ancient Cultivator.
Because he cultivated evil techniques, he was jointly sealed by the Immortal Sects and Immortals of the Upper Realm.
However, he did not perish there.
He secretly plotted, setting up the Nine Realms Nether Spirit Great Formation outside the Jiuyou Domain, attempting to devour the Spiritual Qi of an entire realm to recover his strength and seize the opportunity to escape this realm.”
“Not only that!” Sect Master Xuantian’s transmitted voice carried a hint of worry and he said with hatred: “The Nine Underworld Demon Emperor colluded with certain Demon Abyss forces in the Spirit Realm, working in concert to accelerate this process, intending to invade this realm with the help of the Demon Abyss forces.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingxuan’s heart trembled, and he immediately informed the three Dao Lords about their battle with the Demon Abyss forces and why they appeared here.
Learning of Chen Qingxuan and their experiences, Sect Master Xuantian, Renhui Holy Monk, and Lingyun Old Daoist all looked solemn, their eyes revealing anger and worry about the collusion between the Demon Abyss forces and the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor.
“It seems the situation is even more severe than we anticipated.” Sect Master Xuantian’s deep voice echoed in Chen Qingxuan and Feng Wuhen’s Sea of Consciousness, urging them with a command: “You two hurry and go, quickly bring the Xuantian Sword!”
The Renhui Holy Monk clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist mantra: “Amitabha, if such evil Devils are not stopped in time, they will surely trigger a great calamity in the Spirit Realm!
Two Fellow Daoists, please act quickly.
This old monk, Fellow Daoist Xuantian, and Fellow Daoist Lingyun will do our best to delay the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor and buy you time.”
Lingyun Old Daoist responded in a deep voice, forming hand Seals.
A thick Spiritual Qi surged from his body, deriving tens of thousands of thick wooden vines from the Void Realm, forming a net that bombarded the Void Realm Formation.
Xuantian was not to be outdone, his long sword hummed, and the sword light, like a Dragon, coiled and ascended.
His sword techniques carried the might of shattering mountains and rivers, fiercely colliding with the invisible Void Realm Formation, successfully opening a path for the Heavenly Sword Warship.
“Go!” Sect Master Xuantian’s voice exploded in Chen Qingxuan’s Sea of Consciousness, carrying an undeniable resolve.
Propelled by Sect Master Xuantian’s Sword Qi, the Heavenly Sword Warship, like an arrow released from a bowstring, suddenly shot out from the twisted spatial rift, speeding towards the distance.
Behind them, Sect Master Xuantian, Renhui Holy Monk, and Lingyun Old Daoist, three Peak Mahayana powerhouses, were engaged in a fierce struggle against the will of the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor.
...
Just as the Heavenly Sword Warship was speeding through the Nine Underworld Star Region, in Central Province of the Spirit Realm, at the Xuantian Sword Sect’s deliberation hall.
Li Mu and the various high-ranking officials of the Sect, including the Sect Masters, Elders, and Clan Chiefs of various Families, were gathered together, discussing and arranging the protective Sect Formation that was about to be set up.
After several months of effort and gathering all their strength, they finally collected all the high-grade spiritual materials needed to set up the protective and warning Formations in the seven Sealed Lands.
Everyone expressed their opinions, and the atmosphere in the hall was tense yet enthusiastic.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps broke the solemnity, followed by the abrupt ringing of the Sect’s alarm bell.
A series of long and heavy chimes, like a death knell, echoed throughout the entire Xuantian Sword Sect, shaking the hearts of everyone present.
The warning spiritual bell would only be rung when the Xuantian Sword Sect encountered a major crisis or a change in its high-level leadership.
Its sound was like thunder, shaking everyone in the Xuantian Sword Sect, from top to bottom, and reaching the heartstrings of every Disciple.
The Sect Masters, Elders of other Sects, and Clan Chiefs of various Cultivation Families present were all aware of this situation.
They looked at each other, their nerves taut, each holding their breath.
