My son is about to break through.

The vast and boundless battlefield of the immortal realm is now filled with endless slaughter and destruction.

Energy storms raged, and the light of laws collided and intertwined, rendering this starry sky as if the end of the world had arrived.

On one side of the battlefield was the army of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty.

On the other side was an army of evil gods.

They come from the Kingdom of the Seven Deadly Sins and its many subordinate kingdoms.

These evil gods received direct orders from the Immortal God Kingdom, as if injected with a mad catalyst. Billions of evil gods surged forward like a tidal wave, emitting piercing roars and howls, attacking the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty's lines in the most primitive and chaotic way.

The evil aura that gathered together distorted space and time, corrupted the laws of nature, and possessed overwhelming power that should not be underestimated.

However, while the main force of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty and the Seven Sins Divine Kingdom's allied forces were fiercely fighting on this main battlefield, a counterattack wave with an even wider reach was unfolding on an unprecedented scale along the more expansive border between the human race and the evil gods' territories.

On the human side, many forces that had been lying low for a long time or had been constantly clashing with the evil god seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and launched fierce counterattacks against the territories controlled by the evil god.

After all, the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty's army has now marched straight in, like a sharp knife piercing deep into the heart of the Evil God's territory, attracting a considerable amount of the Evil God's attention and manpower.

This inevitably led to a vacuum and weakening of the defensive forces of the evil gods on other fronts.

This presents a golden opportunity for other human factions that have been on the defensive or in a stalemate to reclaim lost territory and even expand their borders.

The conflict between the two races has lasted for millennia, and the deep-seated hatred is etched into their very bones.

In the past, humans were mostly on the defensive, while evil gods took the initiative to invade.

Now that a strategic window of opportunity has finally appeared, allowing for a proactive attack and a devastating blow to the evil god, how could other forces be willing to let it slip by?

Again.

Each successful conquest of an ancient immortal realm long occupied by an evil god represents not only a strategic victory, but also substantial cultivation resources.

These ancient immortal realms, which have existed for countless eons, possess spiritual veins, mineral deposits, innate spiritual objects, and even the very origin of the world. Their profound foundation far surpasses that of newly established immortal realms.

……

A sacred land of mountains and seas.

Inside the main temple of the holy site.

The Celestial Venerable of Mountains and Seas' gaze swept over the elders of the Holy Land below with lightning speed.

"The Venerable Wentian will remain in the sacred land, take charge of the mountain-protecting formation, oversee the overall situation, and strictly prevent the evil god clan or other villains from taking advantage of the situation!"

The rest of us, together with the Venerable One, mobilized the elite forces of the Holy Land, divided into three groups, to suppress all the surrounding evil god immortal realms and reclaim the lost territories of our human race!
This order must be executed immediately without fail!

The voice of the Celestial Venerable of Mountains and Seas was like a resounding bell, carrying an iron will and decisiveness.

Without the slightest hesitation, he issued the order for a full-scale attack the moment he detected the appearance of the fighter jets.

In an instant, the war machines of all the immortal realms controlled by the Mountain and Sea Holy Land roared into action!

Countless massive warships took to the sky, and densely packed holy land cultivators, like migrating star clusters, formed battle formations and surged towards the evil god's controlled area, which they had already scouted out.

For so many years, the Sacred Land of Mountains and Seas has been one of the front-line fortresses against the invasion of evil gods, fighting against them for countless years.

Through relentless and bloody battles, many previously lost immortal realms have been gradually brought under control.

But in the eyes of the Celestial Venerable of Mountains and Seas, this was far from enough.

True strength lies in exploration!
With the main force of the evil gods currently being held back by the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty, this presents a golden opportunity for the Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerable to expand the territory of the Mountain and Sea Holy Land and lay the foundation for an everlasting dynasty.

and so.

At this crucial juncture, the sacred land of mountains and seas has mobilized almost its entire force, naturally not wanting to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Of course.

The power of the evil god race is an objective fact.

In the vast and boundless Immortal Realm, there exist countless powerful evil god kingdoms, whose overall strength is unfathomable.

The evil god power involved in the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty's actions is perhaps only the tip of the iceberg compared to the entire evil god race.

However, for the sacred land of mountains and seas, this weakening and restraint of local forces is already sufficient.

……

"Boom!"

In the Chaos Immortal Realm, a vast territory jointly controlled by the Taiyi Holy Land and the Nine Profound Immortal Sect, war has reignited once again.

Within the territory of the Taiyi Sacred Land, countless streams of pure energy soared into the sky.

Countless cultivators dressed in Taoist robes formed a profound formation. Under the personal leadership of the Taiyi Saint Lord, they surged out of the territory's borders like an orderly blue dragon, launching a fierce attack on the neighboring Evil God Immortal Realm.

On the other side, the Nine Profound Immortal Sect was equally unyielding.

Nine-colored immortal light filled the sky as disciples practiced the Nine Profound Battle Formation, drawing upon the power of the stars in the heavens. Their attacks were fierce and unparalleled, forming a pincer movement with the Taiyi Holy Land, jointly dividing up their prey.

After tens of millions of years of recuperation and the immense resources gained from dividing up the Chaos Immortal Realm, the strength of these two major forces has not only fully recovered from the losses of the great war, but has also made significant progress and improvements compared to their original state.

Now that the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty has attracted a lot of firepower, the two major forces will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity.

As the army marched on, a senior elder from the Taiyi Holy Land looked at the dark, deep, and evil-filled star field ahead, and a trace of worry appeared on his face.

“Holy Lord, the evil god is now very powerful. Would it be too hasty for us to suddenly attack him at this moment? If we provoke a crazy retaliation from the evil god's clan, it would be quite troublesome.”

Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord Taiyi remained unmoved, his gaze still fixed on the distant battlefield, his voice carrying a hint of composure and confidence.

"Now is the best time. Such a strategic window of opportunity, where a single move can affect the whole situation, is fleeting. If we miss it, who knows when we will have another chance to expand so easily."

He paused, his tone carrying a subtle undertone.

"Now that the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty is in the lead, it has attracted most of the attention of the Seven Sins Divine Kingdom and even the Immortal Divine Kingdom behind it."

The positive pressure facing our Taiyi Holy Land can be greatly reduced.

After all, when the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up first; we just need to stand by, wait for our chance, and seize the benefits.

At this point, the Holy Lord Taiyi suddenly smiled meaningfully, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness.

"Furthermore, are you aware that the Seven Deadly Sins Kingdom and other forces have joined forces to cut off the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty's army's retreat, leaving it surrounded and in a seemingly critical situation?"

"At this time, if our Taiyi Holy Land takes decisive action to attack the evil god's forces from the flank, relieve their pressure, or even help open up some passages, it would be equivalent to doing the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty a huge favor."

Such acts of kindness in times of need are far more effective than simply adding to someone's existing success.

Why wouldn't one do something so beneficial, both in terms of profit and the opportunity to forge powerful alliances?

This.

This is the deeper strategic purpose and consideration behind the Taiyi Holy Lord's decisive military action: to curry favor with the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty.

Anyone who isn't blind can see that the rise of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty is unstoppable!

Its vast territory, abundant fortune, and numerous powerful figures far surpass those of ordinary immortal dynasties.

It is almost a certainty that one day it will be promoted to a supreme immortal court that can rival the Ziwei Immortal Court.

As for that Xuan Tian Immortal Emperor Gu Qingfeng, his strength and potential are unfathomable, and his chances of reaching the pinnacle of immortality in the future are definitely not small!
Even if they ultimately fail to reach immortality, their demonstrated combat prowess will undoubtedly make them one of the most outstanding beings below immortality, capable of influencing the overall situation of a region.

Befriending such a powerful and promising future giant would be an absolutely beneficial long-term investment for the future development of Taiyi Holy Land.

In the past, although the Taiyi Holy Land had no conflict with the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty, it was not easy to truly establish a solid friendship with them and do them a favor of sufficient importance.

The Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty is powerful enough that ordinary assistance might not be of much interest to them.

But the situation is different now!

The Xuantian Immortal Dynasty is engaged in a full-scale war with the Evil God Clan and is surrounded.

If the Taiyi Holy Land can stand firmly on the side of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty at this time and send troops to help, its significance will be extraordinary!

This favor is truly profound!
Upon hearing what the Holy Lord Taiyi said, everyone's expressions changed to one of sudden realization, and their worries vanished, replaced by admiration and understanding.

That's it!

The Holy Lord has great foresight! If we use this battle to befriend and invest in the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, then regardless of whether we win or lose, as long as we have shown our attitude and taken action, it will be a sure thing for the Taiyi Holy Land!
The rewards you will receive in the future will far exceed the efforts you make today.

As you can see, the Mountain and Sea Holy Land, which has close ties with the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty, has seen its strength increase at a visible rate in recent years. It is said that it has received a lot of resources and covert support from the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty.

Although these things are kept secret, it's impossible for someone at their level to remain completely unaware of them.

……

Just as various forces seized the opportunity and launched a counterattack,

The battle at the heart of the main battlefield between the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty and the Seven Deadly Kingdoms alliance has entered a fierce stage!

"boom--!!!"

The turbid and vast Yellow Springs River, like an ancient ferocious dragon that has broken free of its restraints, surges and roars across the starry sky!

Gu Qingfeng stood on the long river of rules manifested from the Netherworld Dao, his body enveloped in endless Daoist rhymes of reincarnation.

That terrifying, supreme divine might, like a tangible tide, engulfed the entire chaotic battlefield.

Wherever the Yellow Springs pass, countless evil gods perish.

Once tainted by the murky river water, its flesh, soul, and even the very essence of its existence are eroded and dissolved at a visible speed.

They let out mournful, desperate cries, struggled to sink to the bottom of the river, and in an instant they disappeared without a trace, becoming nourishment for the underworld, and completely returning to the cycle of reincarnation.

"Gu Qingfeng!!! Prepare to die!"

A supreme deity, as large as a mountain and with eight arms, each arm holding a different treasure, roared in fury that shattered the stars.

The vast and unfathomable power of the evil god erupted, evolving behind him into a ferocious and terrifying chaotic avatar that shrouded the star field.

The Dharma form was incredibly large, with eight arms moving in unison, disrupting space and time. It seemed capable of blotting out the sky and carrying terrifying power to destroy everything, as it crashed down towards Gu Qingfeng!
This attack had already reached the level of the Ninth Tribulation Celestial Venerable.

however.

Faced with such a terrifying attack that would make even a Celestial Venerable of the same level change color, Gu Qingfeng's expression remained unchanged.

He didn't even use the power of the Yellow Springs; he simply raised his right hand and threw a punch!
This punch, seemingly simple and unadorned, had no earth-shattering phenomena or dazzling divine light.

But the instant the fist touched that enormous chaotic dharma form—

“Crack—boom!!!”

Like shattered glass, or like stars collapsing!

That terrifying chaotic dharma form, which was evolved by a top-tier god and contained the origin of his great Dao, couldn't even last a moment. It suddenly exploded from the point of contact between the fists, turning into countless chaotic energy fragments that scattered and annihilated.

"puff--!"

The Dharma image was forcibly destroyed, and the eight-armed deity was struck as if by a cosmic hammer.

The enormous divine body trembled violently, the divine artifacts on its eight arms instantly dimmed, and it could no longer suppress its anger, spitting out a mouthful of dark golden divine blood. Its aura weakened like an avalanche, and its entire body flew backward uncontrollably, shattering several lifeless stars along the way.

When he finally regained his footing and looked again at the figure still standing on the Great River, his robes fluttering in the wind, his eyes were filled with boundless horror and disbelief.

Although Gu Qingfeng's fearsome reputation had already spread throughout the heavens, only when one actually fought against him could one truly understand just how terrifying and unbelievable this Xuan Tian Immortal Emperor's strength was!

One punch!
Just one punch—

He, a top-tier god-lord who had entered the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Venerable Realm for many years and considered himself to be no weakling among his peers, was directly and severely injured!
Such a disparity in strength... is simply despair-inducing!
"die!"

Gu Qingfeng's gaze was indifferent, as if he were looking down at ants. He didn't even glance at the injured god, merely flicking his sleeve casually.

"Crack-!"

The Yellow Springs River, which was already surging on the battlefield, instantly became even more violent, transforming into a massive, turbid wave that reached the heavens and the earth, crashing down on the injured and flying top god-lord.

Before the giant wave even arrived, the implied meaning of reincarnation and annihilation had already frozen time and space, sealing off all laws.

Wherever the Yellow Springs passed, the laws of the void crumbled and vanished like fragile glass, returning to the most primordial chaos.

The top-tier god was horrified. He desperately burned his divine blood, trying to tear through space and escape, but he found in despair that the entire void around him had been completely imprisoned by the power of the Great Dao.

His divine body, his divine power, and even his divine soul were all trapped in an invisible quagmire, unable to move an inch.

He could only watch helplessly as the monstrous wave of death surged toward him!

however.

At this critical moment——

"Buzz!"

An extremely restrained gray-white blade of light slashed out from the depths of nothingness without warning!

This strike seemed to sever the river of time, disregarding spatial distance; wherever it passed, all things vanished into nothingness.

"laugh--!"

The colossal Yellow Spring wave, powerful enough to annihilate even the most powerful gods, was instantly split in two upon contact with the grayish-white blade of light, like butter being thrown into a hot knife, and burst open with a deafening roar.

Countless streams of water from the Yellow Springs scattered and splashed, evaporating and disappearing.

After cleaving through the Yellow Springs, the blade's momentum continued, aiming directly at Gu Qingfeng's brow, its speed exceeding the limits of thought and reaction.

Faced with this sudden, strange, and powerful attack, Gu Qingfeng's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.

But his reaction was also extremely fast. He brought his right index and middle fingers together, forming a sword finger. The fingertips were surrounded by the extremely refined Dao of Reincarnation. He pointed precisely at the incoming blade of annihilation.

"boom--!!!"

Fingertips clashed fiercely with the blade's edge!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a kind of intense friction and annihilation that seemed to occur at the very root of the Dao.

An invisible, all-distorting ripple spread out from the point of impact, shattering billions of miles of void into dust.

next moment.

The blade's edge could not withstand the immense power of reincarnation contained within the fingertip, and shattered with a crash, turning into nothingness.

A slight stinging sensation also came from Gu Qingfeng's jade-like fingers.

Upon closer inspection, a barely perceptible tiny white mark appeared on the skin of the fingertip, as if it had been sliced ​​by the sharpest blade.

But no blood was drawn. The white mark existed for only a fraction of a second before it was instantly restored to its original state under the nourishment of its powerful physical recovery and Daoist energy, as if it had never been injured.

In that split second, the top-tier god who was originally doomed seized this fleeting opportunity, forcibly broke free from part of the spatial confinement, transformed into a streak of bloody light, and escaped the core area of ​​the Yellow Springs Suppression in a sorry state, thus saving his life.

All these changes happened in the blink of an eye.

Gu Qingfeng ignored the fleeing ant.

His gaze was now completely fixed on another direction in the void.

There, a figure slowly emerged from the chaos.

The newcomer was dressed in simple blue robes, his figure was no different from that of a human, his face was so handsome that it was almost demonic, his skin was pale, and only his eyes were black and deep like a black hole in the universe, swallowing all light and hope.

His expression was indifferent and calm, as if nothing in the world could stir the slightest ripple in his heart.

What's most unsettling is that he seemed to be perfectly integrated with the surrounding chaotic void, as if they were one.

He was clearly standing there, visible to the naked eye, but when divine sense reached him, it was an absolute void, completely empty.

Unless you see it with your own eyes, it's difficult to detect even the slightest trace of its presence.

Merge yourself with the Dao, and the Dao will become your body!
"By merging your body with the Dao...you are the Supreme God Lord!"

Gu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly. The being before him clearly possessed some of the divine charm of merging with the Dao, but had not truly taken that final step.

In just a moment, he had already guessed the other party's identity.

Lord Taixu!

Only those who have reached the pinnacle of immortality could possibly possess such strength. (End of Chapter)
