"Fellow Daoists, now is not the time to assign blame," Renhui Holy Monk said deeply, looking around at everyone.
"The Chaos Sealing Realm Grand Formation is on the verge of collapse, and we must act immediately, gathering all our strength to resist the impending invasion from the Demon Abyss."
"Indeed!" Old Man Xuantian agreed readily, pausing for a moment, his hair bristling with rage, his eyes fixed on the six Great Ascension Demon Cultivators, and he said with hatred, "However, there is still one matter that needs to be resolved! Let us combine our strength to eliminate these six culprits first, to quell the hatred in my heart!"
Old Man Xuantian held the Xuantian Sword, one hand forming a sword incantation, Sword Qi crisscrossing his body, and an extremely sharp Sword Intent shot up into the sky, pointing directly at Night Evil and the other six Great Ascension Demon Cultivators.
Old Man Xuantian's words immediately resonated with the Dao Lords; the collapse of the Chaotic Boundary Sealing Formation and the Spirit Realm facing the threat of invasion from the Demon Abyss were caused by these six Great Ascension Demon Cultivators, and these culprits must be completely eliminated.
"Amitabha, Benefactors, please be on your way!" Renhui Holy Monk's voice was as deep as a bell, like an enraged Vajra.
"Taiyi Divine Pearl, appear!" Lingyun Old Daoist, Sect Master of the Taiyi Sect, waved his hand, directly summoning the Sect's most precious treasure.
Cen Xudao Lord also did not hesitate, his hand incantations changing, and an ancient bronze mirror appeared beside him, its surface flowing with profound spiritual patterns, emitting an unfathomable power.
Chen Qingxuan, Feng Wuheng, and Qi Xuanming each held a Seventh-Order Dao Sword, forming a encirclement around the six Great Ascension Demon Cultivators.
Seeing this scene, Shadow Lord Night Evil and the other six Great Ascension Demon Cultivators exchanged glances, feeling an unprecedented pressure.
Although they were Great Ascension Demon Cultivators and their strength was formidable, facing so many Righteous Path masters working together, they couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation.
"Find a way to buy time; once the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation completely breaks, Lord Demon God will surely come to our aid!" Shadow Lord Night Evil secretly transmitted his thoughts, encouraging the five others.
Before his words fell, Shadow Lord Night Evil waved his large hand, and the Shadow Domain unfolded, enveloping the surrounding space in complete darkness.
Within this Shadow Domain, Night Evil and the others' figures became blurred and elusive, as if they had merged with the darkness.
Upon hearing this, Soul Devourer Lord Shura's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, his hands quickly forming seals, and Devilish Qi surged around him, instantly transforming into a Soul Devouring Domain that devoured the will of the Cultivators.
"Wrathful Vajra, Buddha Light Shines!"
Renhua Holy Monk clasped his hands together, and golden light burst forth from his body; a phantom of a wrathful Vajra condensed behind him, and under the shining Buddha Light, the Devilish Qi of the Soul Devouring Domain was rapidly purified, and the Cultivators' wills were also restored.
Underworld Lord Youying's figure flickered, instantly manifesting tens of thousands of phantom Clones, attempting to confuse the Righteous Path Cultivators' vision with numerical superiority and find a Breakthrough.
However, the Taiyi Divine Pearl in the hands of Taiyi Sect Master Lingyun Old Daoist once again played a crucial role; the Divine Pearl shone brightly, illuminating each phantom Clone, instantly exposing these Clones one by one, leaving Youying's true body completely exposed.
"Hmph, how dare you display such a petty trick!" Lingyun Old Daoist snorted coldly, throwing the Taiyi Divine Pearl violently, transforming it into a dazzling ray of light that struck directly at Youying's true body.
Youying was greatly alarmed and hastily used his movement technique to dodge, but he was still a step too slow and was affected by the lingering power of the Divine Pearl, causing his body to stagger backward uncontrollably, retreating into the Shadow Domain.
"Thousand Eyes, use your Thousand Eyes Illusion Art to trap them!" Shadow Lord Night Evil hastily transmitted his thoughts to Thousand Eyes Lord, Old Ancestor Qian Tong.
"Thousand Eyes Illusion Domain, open!"
Old Ancestor Qian Tong immediately cast his spell, his pupils suddenly contracting, thousands of pupils rotating within them, and a powerful Mental Energy surged from his body, transforming into dazzling rays of light that enveloped the surroundings.
Those rays of light intertwined and collided in the air, eventually forming a huge Illusion Domain that enveloped Old Man Xuantian and the others.
Within this Illusion Domain, space was distorted and time was chaotic, making them feel as if the scenes before their eyes were ever-changing and difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.
"Mirror Flower Water Moon, Break Illusion into Reality!"
Cen Xudao Lord low-shouted, raising the ancient bronze mirror high, the mirror surface aimed at the Thousand Eyes Illusion Domain, and instantly, a mysterious power surged from within the mirror, transforming into rays of light that shot directly into the Illusion Domain.
As Cen Xudao Lord's incantations changed, the rays of light gradually gained the upper hand, dispelling the illusions within the Illusion Domain one by one.
"Hmph, a mere illusionary Domain, and you think it can trap us?" Cen Xudao Lord snorted coldly, a look of disdain on his face.
Seeing the Thousand Eyes Illusion Domain easily broken by Cen Xudao Lord, Spirit Demon Lord Ling Sha's eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
"Gate of Yin Spirits, open!" Ling Sha roared, Devilish Qi boiling around him, as if countless demon spirits were roaring within his body, Yin Spirit Origin gathered, instantly forming a pitch-black crack that suddenly tore open before him, a chilling aura surging out from it, carrying endless Death Qi, and countless Yin Spirits poured out, transforming into ferocious ghosts that lunged at everyone.
Endless Yin Souls surged from the crack, and as the number of Yin Souls increased, the surrounding air became chillingly cold, like the Yellow Springs Hell.
"Hmph, mere Yin Souls, how dare you act presumptuously before me!" Old Man Xuantian roared, the Xuantian Sword in his hand shining brightly, its Sword Intent like a Dragon, soaring into the sky; wherever the sword light passed, the Yin Souls dissipated, as if encountering ice and snow under the scorching sun.
Renhua Holy Monk clasped his hands together, chanting scriptures, and the phantom of the wrathful Vajra once again condensed behind him, Buddha Light shining, purifying patches of Yin Souls, and wherever it shone, the chilling aura was dispelled.
The Taiyi Divine Pearl in the hands of Taiyi Sect Master Lingyun Old Daoist shone again; the Divine Pearl's light illuminated each Yin Soul, instantly turning them into nothingness; the Divine Pearl's light possessed the power to purify all evil, preventing the Yin Soul army from approaching.
Chen Qingxuan's Gengjin Dao Sword unfolded its Domain, transforming into a giant golden tiger.
Feng Wuhen swung the Qinghong Dao Sword, accompanied by a sharp sword wind, forming a tornado that poured into the Shadow Demon Domain.
Qi Xuanming held the Taixuan Dao Sword, Star Power infused into the sword, transforming into countless star sword shadows, condensing into the Great Zhou Star Sword Formation.
In an instant, the Shadow Demon Domain seemed to be shaken by a torrential impact, and cracks began to appear.
Although Night Evil and the other six Great Ascension Demon Cultivators tried their best to maintain the stability of the Demon Domain, their efforts seemed insignificant in the face of absolute power.
"Everyone, quickly help me!" Shadow Lord Night Evil's face was pale, and Shadow Origin continuously poured into the Shadow Domain; the six of them would have no retreat.
Facing Night Evil's plea for help, although the five Great Ascension Demon Cultivators each had their own calculations, at this critical moment of life and death, they had no choice but to temporarily put aside their petty thoughts and jointly deal with the current crisis.
"Ash Dove Demon Body, appear!" Ash Dove Lord Hei Yu's body suddenly swelled, muscles bulging, transforming into an enormous ash dove demonic bird, its wings covering the sky and sun, forming a protective stance.
Soul Devourer Lord Rakshasa was not to be outdone, his Devilish Qi boiling to the extreme, and he let out a low roar: "Ten Thousand Demons Converge, Soul Devouring Demon Ape, appear!"
As Soul Devourer Lord Rakshasa's words fell, countless Devilish Qi seemed to respond to his summons, surging madly from his body, gradually forming a huge soul-bodied Demon Ape.
That Demon Ape was a hundred zhang tall, its eyes crimson, letting out an earth-shattering roar, its body entwined with extremely dense Devilish Qi, and it swung a fist, resisting the attacks of the Sword Cultivators with terrifying power.
Old Ancestor Qian Tong was also not to be outdone, his pupils flickering with eerie light, and he murmured: "Thousand Eyes of the Eye, Endless Illusion Domain!"
Old Ancestor Qian Tong's pupils seemed to transform into cosmic black holes, devouring the surrounding light, and he once again cast an even more complex Thousand Eyes Illusion Domain.
This time, within the Illusion Domain, there was not only spatial distortion but also temporal reversal, making people feel as if they were in an endless abyss, unable to extricate themselves.
"Boom, boom, ..."
The forces of the Righteous and Demonic Paths continuously collided in the Void Realm; each clash was accompanied by world-destroying power fluctuations, causing the entire Star Domain space to shatter.
Facing the desperate resistance of the six Great Ascension Demon Cultivators, the battle fell into a stalemate.
Old Man Xuantian's Sword Intent surged; his figure was like lightning, and the Xuantian Sword precisely struck the vital points of the Demon Ape, causing the soul-bodied Demon Ape to scream and perish; Renhui Holy Monk continued to chant scriptures, Buddha Light purifying the Yin Souls, and gradually disintegrating the darkness of the Shadow Domain.
"Stars Rotate, Swords Extinguish the Firmament!" Qi Xuanming roared, the Taixuan Dao Sword in his hand shining brightly, Star Power seemingly echoing the stars in the sky, forming a dazzling river of stars.
Within the sword formation, endless Star Power transformed into sharp sword blades, launching a fierce attack on the Demon Ape and the Ash Dove Demon Bird.
Feng Wuheng's Sword Domain tornado raged in the Shadow Demon Domain, continuously weakening the Demon Domain's defenses, and Chen Qingxuan's Gengjin giant tiger, its giant claws tearing through space, struck directly at the core of the Great Ascension Demon Cultivators.
"Taiyi Divine Pearl, Light of Purification!" Lingyun Old Daoist made his move at the opportune moment; the Taiyi Divine Pearl floated in the air, releasing light that purified everything.
That light penetrated the Illusion Domain, and the Dark Domain began to dissipate, its power gradually weakening.
Night Evil's face was pale, his Dao Origin almost depleted; if this continued, they would be completely annihilated.
He hastily transmitted his thoughts to the five Great Ascension Demon Cultivators: "Everyone, at this moment, only by using forbidden arts can we have a glimmer of hope!"
Upon hearing this, the five Great Ascension Demon Cultivators all looked solemn, knowing that Night Evil's words were true.
Thus, they all closed their eyes and concentrated, beginning to mobilize the remaining Origin Power within their bodies, preparing to cast forbidden arts.
"Shadow Devour, Divine Soul Sacrifice!" Night Evil roared, his figure gradually blurring in the shadows, as if merging with the Shadow Domain; an unprecedented dark power surged within him, a powerful force gained at the cost of a portion of his Divine Soul.
At the same time, the other five Demon Cultivators also completed their preparations for the forbidden arts; Ash Dove Lord Hei Yu's demon body became even larger, ominous light flickering on his wings; Soul Devourer Lord Rakshasa's Demon Ape's eyes were as red as flames, and the Devilish Qi around him solidified; Old Ancestor Qian Tong's aura became strange and complex... streaks of forbidden power surged on their bodies, as if to swallow this entire world.
"Everyone, today is our moment of life and death! For the glory of the Demon Abyss, let us fight to the death!" Night Evil's voice echoed in the Demon Domain, filled with determination and madness.
"Fight!" The five Great Ascension Demon Cultivators roared in unison, their forbidden power instantly erupting, condensing into a terrifying defensive line.
Feeling the terror of this forbidden power, Old Man Xuantian and the others' faces became solemn.
A cornered beast fights desperately; at this moment, the six Great Ascension Demon Cultivators had nowhere to go and could only rely on forbidden arts for their final struggle, and such a struggle often erupts with unimaginable power.
"Fellow Daoists, be careful and do not be careless!" Old Man Xuantian reminded in a deep voice, and at the same time, the Xuantian Sword in his hand shone even brighter, he formed a sword incantation, and roared: "Xuantian Sword Art, Dragon Roar Nine Heavens!"
As Old Man Xuantian's voice fell, the Xuantian Sword suddenly erupted with dazzling light, transforming into a giant light-sword Dragon, circling in the air, letting out an earth-shattering Dragon roar, and then swooping down fiercely.
"Amitabha! My Buddha is merciful!"
Renhua Holy Monk clasped his hands together, Buddha Light shining, summoning the Vajra Pestle, and the phantom of the wrathful Vajra once again condensed behind him, golden light dazzling, Buddhist chants resonating, and a giant Buddha phantom instantly magnified, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times.
"Evil Demons must be punished, Great Buddha Divine Palm!"
Accompanied by Renhua Holy Monk's low murmur, the ten-thousand-times magnified Great Buddha phantom suddenly extended a gigantic golden palm; powerful Buddha Power flowed on the palm print, carrying endless compassion and majesty, and it slammed down fiercely towards the Demon Domain condensed by the forbidden power.
"Taiyi Divine Light, Reverse Heaven and Earth!" Lingyun Old Daoist quickly formed seals, the Taiyi Divine Pearl spun rapidly, and the Taiyi Divine Pearl released a dazzling ray of light.
This ray of light formed a giant taiji diagram in the air, sweeping towards the forbidden power in the Demon Domain.
The Sword Domain hurricane swung by Feng Wuheng also reached its Peak at this moment; the hurricane was mixed with the Principle of Wind Sword, forming a terrifying force capable of cutting through space, directly pressing towards the core of the Demon Domain.
Qi Xuanming's Star Sword Formation was equally unwilling to be outdone; Star Power gathered into a river, transforming into countless streams of light, fiercely colliding with the forbidden power in the Demon Domain; star light and Devilish Qi intertwined, forming shocking scenes.
...
For a time, the Great Vehicle Dao Lords all unleashed their ultimate techniques, vowing to completely eliminate and obliterate these six Great Ascension Demon Cultivators.
"Boom, boom..." Continuous roars echoed through the Star Domain; the collision of endless energy tore apart the entire Void Realm, stars swayed, light splattered, and the forces of the Righteous and Demonic Paths reached their Peak at this moment.
Stars fell, the Void Realm shattered, and each attack contained immense power capable of destroying mountains and rivers.
"Boom!" With an earth-shattering roar, the forbidden Demon Domain condensed by the six Great Ascension Demon Cultivators finally could not withstand the fierce attacks and began to collapse and disintegrate; the figures of Night Evil and the other six Great Ascension Demon Cultivators appeared exceptionally small and fragile in the aftermath of the Demon Domain's collapse, their vitality rapidly draining, their eyes filled with unwillingness and despair, and their bodies turned into ashes, dissipating between heaven and earth.
Witnessing the life forces of the six Great Ascension Demon Cultivators successively cut off, Old Man Xuantian and the other Dao Lords couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Amitabha, good and evil will eventually be repaid," Renhui Holy Monk murmured, chanting scriptures, his eyes showing compassion.
This battle was victorious, but the crisis facing the Spirit Realm had not been completely resolved.
Just then, at the intersection of the Three Realms Passage, the sound of the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation breaking apart boomed in the distance, shaking heaven and earth.
"Everyone, the real test has begun!" Old Man Xuantian's eyes were like torches, looking towards the intersection of the Three Realms Passage, his tone filled with determination.
Upon hearing this, the Dao Lords' expressions became stern, and their gazes all turned towards the intersection of the Three Realms Passage.
The breaking of the Chaotic Boundary Sealing Formation meant that the barrier between the Demon Abyss and the Spirit Realm was about to be completely broken, and an unprecedented catastrophe was about to descend. (End of Chapter)
