Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Before Immortal Venerable Longji could react, the black power surged towards him instantly. Immortal Venerable Longji tried to dodge, but he had already made his move and it was too late to stop.

Before Immortal Dragon could recover, the black power instantly enveloped him, and Immortal Dragon immediately felt an indescribable nausea surge into his soul.

The next moment, Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerable let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"This...what is this..."

"what!!!"

Seeing that the body of Immortal Dragon Extreme was tainted by that black power and was constantly twisting, none of the Immortal Venerables present dared to approach directly.

Seeing this scene from a distance, Lu Chen felt increasingly uneasy.

This black power looks like an evil force. He has cultivated the Divine Illumination Thousand Lamps Scripture, and the immortal power in his body has the effect of purifying evil forces. If it is an evil force, he should not feel fear and unease.

Lu Chen thought to himself, this shouldn't be the power of the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Domain.

Just as Lu Chen was distracted, the Dharma image behind Immortal Dragon Extreme shattered with a crash. Immediately afterward, Immortal Dragon Extreme's body rotted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and countless eyes grew out, making him look extremely terrifying, just like a celestial demon.

People couldn't help but wonder if that black power was also the power of the Heavenly Demon, and whether it was transforming the Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerable into a Heavenly Demon.

If that's the case, then it's troublesome. They'll essentially have to deal with another Celestial Venerable-level Heavenly Demon. When that Celestial Venerable-level Heavenly Demon self-destructed just now, it was enough to destroy a quarter of the Northern Region. If Celestial Venerable Longji were to self-destruct, especially right in front of them, they would likely be severely injured.

For a moment, all the immortals present were extremely nervous. However, just when people thought they were about to fight against the Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerable, a huge spatial rift suddenly appeared in the sky above the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Domain.

Immediately afterwards, a huge bloody hand reached out from the spatial rift and grabbed Longji Immortal Venerable. The next moment, Longji Immortal Venerable was pulled back into the spatial rift by the bloody hand.

Then, a tremendous suction force emanated from the spatial rift, drawing in all the black power spreading out from the sky.

This happened very quickly. Before people could react, the entire Tianyan Immortal Realm returned to normal. The black power disappeared without a trace, and the spatial rift was quickly repaired by the world power of the Tianyan Immortal Realm.

Everything in the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm returned to peace, as if nothing had happened.

This……

People were stunned again.

After the immortals came to their senses, they were filled with immense panic.

What is that bloody hand?
Where was Dragon Supreme Immortal taken after being captured?
Will they one day also be corrupted by that dark force and then be taken away by that bloody hand?

Should they continue this war? Even the Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerable has been defeated, and the Demon Emperor's strength doesn't seem to have been depleted too much. If this war continues, they probably won't gain any advantage either.

Of course, the most crucial point is that they don't know if the situation they just experienced will happen again. Even someone as powerful as Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerable was devoured by that dark power. If it were them, they probably wouldn't have the same power to break free either.

For a moment, the immortal venerables present looked at each other, unsure of what to do next. If they didn't continue fighting, their respective factions would remain trapped within the Demon Emperor's grand formation, becoming nourishment for the Demon Emperor's growth. Moreover, their respective factions' immortal venerables were also trapped within that formation.

They couldn't possibly just give up on the immortals of their own power like that.

Just as everyone was wondering what to do, the strange phenomenon from before reappeared in the sky above the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm.

Countless cracks suddenly appeared in the sky, and that eerie black power flowed out from those cracks once again.

In an instant, all the Immortal Venerables present tensed up. They had witnessed the fate of Immortal Venerable Longji firsthand, and the Immortal Venerables were worried that the strange black power would directly taint them.

At this moment, the immortals' desire to retreat surged again. They all suspected that the strange phenomenon in the sky was caused by Xuan Qingyun, as that eerie black power was too much like the power of the Heavenly Demon.

In fact, not only those immortals, but even Xuan Qingyun himself looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky with a solemn expression.

Fortunately, at this moment, the world power of the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm began to repair the spatial rifts again. Soon, the black power returned to those spatial rifts, and after a short while, the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm returned to normal.

However, the fact that such a strange situation has occurred twice in such a short period of time makes it clear to everyone that something must have happened in the Tianyan Immortal Realm. No one can say for sure whether spatial rifts will frequently appear in the Tianyan Immortal Realm in the future.

If that strange black power were to surge towards the entire Tianyan Immortal Realm, it would be an absolute disaster for the Tianyan Immortal Realm.

Just as the Immortal Realm Allied Forces and the Demon Emperor's army were locked in a stalemate, Xuan Qingyun finally made a move, but she did not launch another attack.

Just as the immortals were on guard against her attack, they saw Xuan Qingyun raise her hand, and the next moment, the Chaotic Evil Thought Array that had trapped the first batch of the Immortal Realm Allied Forces for decades was opened.

As the great formation was broken, the scene inside came into view: human bones were scattered everywhere on the ground.

Those trapped immortals, whether they were weak immortals or celestial lords, all looked exhausted and listless.

When the Chaotic Evil Array was activated, the immortals showed no signs of joy or relief at surviving a calamity; it was as if they had become walking corpses.

Although the tragic state of the trapped immortals enraged the immortal venerables, they did not continue to attack Xuan Qingyun. They were all curious as to why the Demon Emperor would open the formation at this moment.

At this moment, Xuan Qingyun's voice echoed in the sky above the Northern Region, "Get out of the Northern Region. From this day forward, the Northern Region belongs to the Nine Heavens Academy."

Upon hearing this, the immortals immediately understood Xuan Qingyun's meaning. Xuan Qingyun intended to take over the entire Northern Region, and it seemed that she no longer wanted to continue fighting.

Given the current situation, the various factions of the Immortal Realm Alliance quickly organized the besieged immortals to leave the battlefield.

The war between the two sides has temporarily ceased.

Seeing that the war was over just like that, Lu Chen frowned slightly. He had thought that either Xuan Qingyun or Tianyu Immortal Venerable would be seriously injured, so that he could take advantage of the situation. But the war was over just like that? They're not fighting anymore?
Could it be that the strange phenomenon in the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm just now wasn't caused by Xuan Qingyun? Could it be that the phenomenon made Xuan Qingyun feel wary? Otherwise, why would she choose to cease hostilities under these circumstances?

Dragon Supreme Immortal Venerable has been taken to an unknown location, and after burning her Heavenly Demon Power, she no longer fears the Divine Illumination Thousand Lanterns Scripture. She clearly holds the advantage, yet she has chosen to cease hostilities. (End of Chapter)
