This is so dishonest!

Chapter 465 Lingbao Tianzun: You old thief Yuanshi, you've got a password! Take this sword! (Three-in-one)

Meanwhile, the celestial army and the human army were locked in a stalemate outside the Jiepai Pass for several months.

Every day, the Heavenly Emperor stands atop the high platform of the Three Lives Palace, overlooking the battlefield below shrouded in endless malevolent energy and celestial light, and deducing the course of the battle.

Just then, a very subtle purple lightning bolt flashed silently across the lake of his heart.

It was Haotian, the [Nine Heavens Thunder God] who was ordered to lie in wait in the Nine Netherworld, who brought the latest intelligence.

"Your Majesty, the demons in the Nine Netherworlds are stirring with activity. Their new Demon Lord has completely seized control of the Demon Emperor's Claw and will likely launch a large-scale attack soon to intervene in this war!"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor's heart tightened. He immediately sent a telepathic message asking, "Where is their military force headed? Is it our Heavenly Realm or the Shang Dynasty in the Human Realm?"

At this moment, in the dark and deep Nine Netherworld Demon Realm, the Demon King's Palace was filled with quarrels and clamor.

Haotian, like the most perfect shadow, quietly hid behind the enormous throne of the new Demon Lord.

He looked down at the demon kings below, who were arguing heatedly, their faces red and spittle flying, over whether they should attack the Heavenly Court or the Human Realm. A barely perceptible sneer appeared on his lips.

He calmly replied to the Heavenly Emperor, "Your Majesty, many demon kings are currently engaged in a heated debate over this matter and have not yet determined a target for attack."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

"In that case, there is still room for maneuver."

He pondered for a moment, then gave a command to Haotian.

"My dear minister, can you find a way to influence the final decision of the Nine Netherworld Demon Realm, so that they will target the stubbornly resisting Jie Sect, or the Great Shang Dynasty?"

"This... Your Majesty, this matter is extremely difficult."

Haotian's reply carried a hint of difficulty.

"However, since Your Majesty has given the order, this humble subject will do everything in his power, even at the cost of his own life, to try to interfere with Jiuyou's final decision!"

The Heavenly Emperor was greatly pleased upon hearing this.

He offered Haotian generous encouragement:

"Excellent! Thor, you truly deserve to be my trusted lieutenant!"

"If you can accomplish this, I will surely remember your great service after the great calamity ends!"

"Of course, if this matter ultimately fails, you don't need to force it. You should try your best to protect yourself and return as soon as possible."

"If those evil spirits of the Nine Netherworlds dare to invade my Heavenly Realm, my Heavenly Court will certainly not be trifled with!"

Haotian immediately feigned flattery and replied decisively:
"Your Majesty, I obey! I will certainly not fail in your trust!"

After concluding this harmonious exchange between ruler and subject with Haotian.

The Heavenly Emperor took a deep look at the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation below, where the battle was at a stalemate.

Then, he slowly turned around, left the Three Lives Palace, and headed straight for the depths of the Nine Heavens.

Hidden there is the Heavenly Emperor's most powerful trump card—the Jianmu Fruit!
If he could completely refine it, he could advance to the Other Shore Realm in a very short time and gain powerful combat strength to suppress all enemies.

The Heavenly Emperor arrived at the deepest part of the Nine Heavens. Looking at the azure Dao Fruit that was radiating endless vitality but was not yet fully ripe, he couldn't help but sigh.

"I really wouldn't want to use this unless I was absolutely forced to!"

This item was his most important reliance, prepared in order to attain the supreme "Tao Fruit" at the end of the era.

If we use it prematurely just for the sake of the immediate battle situation...

Then he probably has no hope of transcending this in the future.

~~~~
The atmosphere inside the Demon King's Palace in the Nine Netherworld was lively.

The demons are still arguing about whether to attack the Heavenly Court or the human realm.

Meng Huai, the second outer disciple of the Chan Sect and known as the "Eastern Demon King," was the first to express his opinion, his tone resolute.

"Gentlemen, stop arguing! In my opinion, we must attack the Heavenly Court!"

His gaze swept across the entire room, his voice filled with disdain and incitement.

"Can't you see the current battlefield situation? The Heavenly Court has many soldiers and generals, numerous immortals and gods, and two Heavenly Venerables are backing it up."

"And the result? After fighting for so long, they still haven't been able to break through a mere Myriad Immortals Formation!"

Meng Huai's face showed a look of disdain as he continued.

"In my opinion, the Primordial Emperor was incompetent and lacked morality and wisdom, while the current Heavenly Emperor is even more incompetent!"

"If we can launch a surprise attack on the Heavenly Realm's stronghold right now, we will surely be able to prevent them from coordinating their efforts and throw them into chaos!"

His highly inflammatory proposal was immediately endorsed by many of the demon kings present.

"Fellow Daoist Meng Huai is absolutely right! Today, let us take up our swords and ascend to the heavens to have a good talk with those so-called gods. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Ksitigarbha, sitting in the corner, listened to these remarks in silence.

He thought to himself: If these lawless demon kings really went to attack the Heavenly Court, it would inevitably put the Heavenly army in a dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides, which would be very detrimental to the entire Heavenly camp.

Although Ksitigarbha believed that these demon kings, with their strength, would ultimately be unable to influence the entire battle.

However, it's best to avoid such behavior that deliberately goes to disgust the celestial realm.

After all, their masters and the others are still nominally on the side of the Heavenly Realm.

With this thought in mind, Ksitigarbha had already made up his mind.

He slowly stood up and addressed the demons.

"Fellow Daoists, if you ask me, it's better to attack the Human Realm than the Heavenly Realm!"

【Huh? Someone's trying to steal my job?】

Haotian, who was hiding behind the throne of the new Demon Lord, was originally prepared to personally appear and guide public opinion.

Unexpectedly, this usually unremarkable Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva would take the initiative to step forward.

So he remained silent and stood aside, wanting to see what profound insights the demon king had in store.

Meng Huai, the "Eastern Demon King" who advocated attacking the Heavenly Realm, glanced at Ksitigarbha with surprise and asked with a frown.

"Fellow Daoist, what is the meaning of this? Why attack the human realm?"

Ksitigarbha, however, countered with a question: "Then I would also like to ask you, fellow Daoist, why are you so insistent on attacking the Heavenly Realm?"

[Eastern Demon King] Meng Huai said righteously, "Is there even a question? Of course, it's to avenge our Demon Ancestor from the previous era!"

“In the past, the Dao Ancestor ruled the world and used the name of Huang Laojun to rule the Heavenly Realm. Later, my Demon Ancestor of the Nine Netherworlds led an army to rebel against Heaven, but was unfortunately defeated by the Dao Ancestor and eventually died here with resentment.”

"As the successors of the Demon Ancestor, shouldn't we settle accounts with the Heavenly Realm regarding the karma of the previous era?"

"Of course, of course!" Ksitigarbha nodded without hesitation.

This is the most fundamental "righteousness" of the Nine Netherworld Demon Realm, and Meng Huai's use of this reason is perfectly justified.

“But…” Ksitigarbha’s tone suddenly changed. His gaze swept across the entire room and finally landed on the current Demon Lord on the throne.

The Demon Lord nodded slightly, signaling Ksitigarbha to continue.

Ksitigarbha then continued, "What I want to say is that attacking the human realm is our inevitable choice at this moment, and there is absolutely no room for discussion!"

"The war between the two worlds seems to be at a stalemate, and it seems that we can attack either side at will and thus influence the entire war situation, but that is not the case!"

"Everyone must not forget, what was the true purpose of Lingbao Tianzun of the Jie Sect in instigating this great calamity? It was to destroy the world!"

"He wants to accelerate our era toward the final catastrophe so that he can take this opportunity to achieve supreme transcendence!"

"Imagine if we don't attack the human realm now, but instead choose to attack the celestial realm, and it ends up leading to the final victory of the Lingbao Celestial Venerable."

"So the final outcome is that we will all perish along with this era, while that Lingbao Celestial Venerable will transcend to a state of blissful solitude!"

Ksitigarbha's expression became extremely serious. He looked at each of the demon kings present and said in a deep voice.

"By then, all our efforts will have been in vain, benefiting others. What's the point of avenging the Demon Ancestor then?"

"Sacrificing oneself for the benefit of others—is this the final outcome everyone wants to see?"

"Could it be that when did our demon kings of the Nine Netherworlds also reach that noble realm of 'helping others and being willing to die'?"

As soon as Ksitigarbha uttered those last words, the faces of the demon kings present instantly darkened.

They all cursed and swore, saying, "Who the hell are you calling noble?"

"Let's stop attacking the Heavenly Realm! Let's go attack the Human Realm right now! Let's kill that demon Lord Lingbao who wants to destroy the world first!"

"To hell with his transcendentalism! We don't believe his nonsense!"

"That's right! Next time, when we have the chance, we'll go find those bastards in the Heavenly Realm and settle the score properly!"

After Ksitigarbha's reminder, everyone came to their senses and immediately changed their minds.

Yes!

Compared to the Jie Sect, which always wanted to drag everyone down with them and destroy the world, those bastards in the Heavenly Realm seemed rather kind and amiable.

Although the new era has begun, these ancient and powerful demon kings will not truly die out completely.

If they can prepare well, many will surely be able to smoothly transition to the next new era.

However, losing the cultivation accumulation of an entire era for nothing, and incurring huge losses in order to save one's life, one will inevitably fall far behind others in the next era. What's the point of competing then?

Thus, Ksitigarbha, with his silver tongue, successfully persuaded a group of already unruly demon kings to turn their attack on the great merchant of the human realm.

Haotian, who had been hiding in the void, was astonished.

Where did these friendly forces come from?
How can this problem-solving approach be so simple yet efficient?

He had originally prepared a whole set of enticing and seductive arguments, starting from the perspective of "attaining enlightenment on the other side," to lure the new Demon Lord into leading an attack on the human realm.

Now it seems that this whole process is completely unnecessary.

However, just in case, Haotian secretly sent a message to the new Demon Lord.

“Fellow Daoist, your mission to attack the human realm is twofold. Firstly, it is to stop the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable’s world-destroying act, which is in accordance with the will of Heaven and is a matter of justice.”

"Secondly, we can also take this opportunity to seize the sect's sacred weapons—the Four Swords of Zhuxian."

"If you can successfully obtain this sword, then you might be able to replace that Lingbao Tianzun and become the peerless demon lord who truly holds the power of 'destruction' in this universe."

"Even if you ultimately fail, it doesn't matter. With the goodwill gained from this attack on the Jie Sect, if you want to attain enlightenment in the future, those ancient beings might choose to turn a blind eye and tacitly approve of your actions instead of deliberately hindering you."

"So whether it's for justice or personal reasons, you'd better send troops to the human realm this time."

The newly appointed Demon Lord was not an unreasonable person. After hearing Haotian's words, the last trace of hesitation in his heart completely disappeared.

He rose directly from the throne, raised the Demon Emperor's Claw in his hand, and issued the final command.

"Let's go! Destination—the capital of the Great Shang Dynasty!"

"Let's raid the human realm's stronghold!"

In an instant, banners flew across the entire Nine Netherworld Demon Realm, and demonic energy surged to the heavens.

The demons mobilized and descended upon the territory of the Great Shang Kingdom in a mighty force.

~~~~
The capital city is a place where humanity and fortune converge.

Cheng Tang wore a black imperial robe symbolizing supreme royal power, and a flat crown with twelve strings of jade beads hanging down his head. His brows were dignified and restrained, without the slightest ripple of emotion.

His slender fingertips were rhythmically tapping lightly on the ancient and heavy bronze table in front of him, as if waiting for the end of a decisive battle that had long been destined.

Before long, an old man with steady steps and profound aura slowly entered from outside the hall.

The old man was dressed in a simple, plain robe, with only a simple jade belt around his waist. His eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, as if they could see through all the truths of the world, but his expression carried a hint of solemnity that was hard to hide.

He was Yi Yin, who assisted Cheng Tang in establishing the Shang Dynasty and was hailed as the "First Prime Minister of the World".

At this moment, Yi Yin was holding a bamboo scroll that emitted a faint, clear light in his hands.

He quickly approached Cheng Tang, bowed slightly, and reported to the human race's leader in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the Nine Nether Demon Lord has led all his ten thousand demon soldiers into battle and will soon arrive outside our capital city!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Although a strange light flashed across Cheng Tang's eyes, they remained as calm as a deep pool.

Despite facing a formidable enemy, he showed no panic whatsoever. Instead, he calmly retrieved a small, exquisite bronze cauldron from under the table, a vessel imbued with boundless human warmth and humanity.

He then took out some top-quality meat sliced ​​as thin as cicada wings, as well as two sets of exquisite bowls and chopsticks and various condiments.

"The Prime Minister once told me that governing a large country is like cooking a small fish; one should not be too hasty. I still remember these words vividly."

"Now that things have come to this, let's eat first."

"Very well." Seeing this, Yi Yin put down the bamboo slips in his hand. He calmly picked up another set of utensils and began to leisurely cook meat with Cheng Tang in the Jiucheng Palace.

While the emperor and his minister were enjoying their meal, the sky outside the capital was already changing color with the wind and clouds.

Endless, dark clouds, like the thickest ink, rolled in from the horizon.

The dark, dense expanse stretched as far as the eye could see, completely obscuring the clear sky and earth.

"Heh, they've arrived pretty quickly!" Cheng Tang glanced through the doors of the main hall at the apocalyptic scene of rolling demonic clouds and chaotic demonic activity outside, and smiled without any concern.

He even managed to pick up the meat a little faster because of this.

"That's right!" Yi Yin also served himself a bowl of the delicious soup made from the essence of humanity and destiny, and drank it with relish.

In the sky, tens of thousands of demon kings and demon generals have already descended.

Seeing that the vast capital of the Shang Dynasty was wide open and undefended, without even a proper defensive formation activated, they all burst into smug laughter.

"Hahaha! Is this Emperor Cheng Tang a fool? How could he be so confident as to send all his elite troops to Jiepai Pass?"

"Very well! In that case, the eternal foundation of the Great Shang Dynasty should rightfully belong to me, Jiuyou!"

"Brothers! Let's rush in now, seize his throne, plunder the Shang Dynasty's treasury, and divide up his imperial power."

"Then let's go have some fun on the battlefield between the two worlds!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

With a wave of his hand, the newly appointed Demon Lord unleashed a swarm of demons that could no longer contain themselves. Roaring like locusts, they swooped down upon the seemingly undefended imperial capital.

"Finished!"

Just then, Cheng Tang, inside the Jiucheng Hall, slowly put down his cutlery, took out a clean white silk handkerchief, and elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth.

Then he slowly raised his sleeve and flicked it gently towards the outside of the hall.

The Emperor's Seal then flew out.

The seal swelled as soon as it left the palace gate!

In an instant, boundless golden light representing the order of humanity burst forth from all four directions of heaven and earth!

"Yes, I've finished eating too." Yi Yin, who was standing to the side, also finished the last mouthful of soup in his bowl and casually tossed the bamboo slips beside him into the air.

Boom! ! !
The vast golden light that filled the sky gradually receded at this moment.

An invisible net, woven from endless laws of humanity, instantly enveloped the entire earth.

Three thousand magnificent avenues, encompassing all things, crisscross this vast human realm like divine chains that span the heavens and the earth.

Where the latitude and longitude lines intersect, there are city after city within the territory of the Great Shang Dynasty.

They are like chess pieces on the earth, and also like nodes in a large formation.

The moment Cheng Tang and Yi Yin activated the great formation at the same time, the fortune of the entire human realm surged wildly like boiling water.

From the boundless sea in the east to the wilderness of Cangwu in the south, from the Western Paradise in the west to the Netherworld Pool in the north, tens of thousands of array nodes within the Great Shang territory simultaneously unleashed countless thick pillars of light.

The beam of light pierced the heavens and the earth, illuminating the boundless void of the nine heavens!
At Jiepai Pass, within the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao, seated high atop the cloud platform, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, Zhao Gongming."

"The disciple is here!"

"You must immediately return to the capital of the Great Shang Dynasty and set up the [Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation]!"

"Disciple obeys!" The Three Immortal Maidens and Zhao Gongming dared not be negligent in the slightest. They immediately selected six hundred elite soldiers and rode auspicious clouds back to the capital of the Great Shang Dynasty.

"What's going on?!" The demon kings and generals who had just stormed into the capital of the Great Shang Dynasty hadn't even had a chance to begin their grand plan of burning, killing, and looting.

Before them lay the magnificent, golden array of humanity, radiating supreme suppressive power, while behind them stood the murderous, chilling immortals of the Jie Sect.

Have you all eaten?

Just as they were caught in a dilemma, a magnificent figure, radiant with light and seemingly capable of spanning ancient and modern times and suppressing the vastness of time, slowly emerged from the Jiucheng Hall.

Cheng Tang's black imperial robes fluttered in the wind, and three thousand Great Dao Laws trembled around him, emanating a magnificent imperial aura that could make all living beings in the world submit.

He looked at the many demon kings who were already stunned and speechless, and smiled gently.

"If you haven't eaten yet, why don't you stay and have a meal?"

Yi Yin also slowly stood beside Cheng Tang, holding the bamboo scroll that recorded the mountains and rivers. A radiant light shone around him, illuminating the mountains, rivers, and seas of the entire land.

At this moment, the dormant ley lines of the earth emitted deafening roars of dragons.

The boundless beauty of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks manifested all sorts of incredible changes behind him.

Yi Yin smiled at the demon kings and said, "We have fist-sized potatoes here that will fill you up."

"Of course, there's also that fist the size of a potato. Which one would you like to eat?"

"In our opinion, it would be best if they didn't eat anything and just sent them on their way!" Just then, the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao and Zhao Gongming and others arrived.

They didn't give the demon kings any chance to react at all, and immediately set up the [Nine Turns Yellow River Formation], which they had practiced countless times.

In an instant, the formations stretched across the heavens and the earth, their power rivaling the Yellow River. A chilling wind swept through, and a black mist filled the air, obscuring the sun and moon.

Drifting aimlessly, shrouded in darkness, a chilling atmosphere soars to the heavens, and gloom blankets the earth.

If your soul is consumed and your spirit destroyed, all your cultivation over a thousand years will be in vain; if your spirit is damaged and your energy lost, even if you escape countless calamities, you will still stumble and fall.

As the saying goes: Even gods and demons cannot reach you; they will strip away your three flowers on the head. Even if Buddha himself were to face calamity, he would extinguish the five vital energies within his chest. Encountering this formation, calamity is inescapable; how can a true immortal hide when faced with it?

Ahead lies the Human Emperor's Grand Array, formed from the essence of humanity's destiny, while behind it lies the Intercepting Sect's sect-protecting killing array, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array.

These two great formations were like an inescapable cage, completely trapping the once arrogant demon kings within.

"Oh no! We've been ambushed!" Only then did the demons finally reveal extremely ugly expressions.

~~~~~
"Form ranks! Prepare for battle!"

Faced with this deadly situation of being attacked from both sides, the new Demon Lord did not panic in the slightest. Instead, his scarlet demonic eyes burned with an even more ferocious fighting spirit and rage.

He let out a roar powerful enough to shatter the heavens, and the Demon Emperor Claw in his hand erupted with endless demonic light capable of corrupting all that is sacred.

He gave the most concise and direct command to the equally eager demon kings and demon generals behind him.

"I will personally go and meet this emperor who has no sense of his own mortality!"

"Go and break that bird formation behind me!"

After saying that, he ignored the crowd behind him and his whole body transformed into a towering demonic shadow. He stepped on endless seas of blood and mountains of corpses and charged towards the Emperor Cheng Tang, who was still standing quietly in front of the Jiucheng Palace!
"Well done!"

Upon seeing this, Cheng Tang also let out a long roar filled with boundless pride.

The Human Emperor Array behind him, formed from the collective fortune of humanity, was instantly activated to its maximum.

The endless golden divine light, filled with the power of "benevolent rule" and "order," transformed into a sword of humanity, meeting the overwhelming demonic energy that swept in.

Two supreme kings from opposing camps engaged in a decisive battle in the skies above Chaoge City, a battle that would determine the future of the human and demonic paths!
Behind them, the remaining demon kings and demon generals also turned around without hesitation and charged towards the seemingly sinister and dangerous [Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation]!
"You think a mere killing formation can block our path?!"

Meng Huai, the second outer disciple of the Chan Sect and now known as the "Eastern Demon King," let out a disdainful sneer.

He transformed into a terrifying demon god, tens of millions of feet tall, with a blue face, fangs, three heads, and six arms.

Each of his six arms held a different demonic weapon, and like a giant war machine, he was the first to charge into the black mist that could obscure the sun and moon and conceal the secrets of heaven.

"Well done!"

Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, who had been waiting in the formation for a long time, laughed heartily upon seeing this.

He summoned the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls in his hand, which could suppress all heavens and stabilize time and space. They transformed into twenty-four dazzling and sacred worlds, which he then used to suppress Meng Huai, who had rushed into the formation.

However, at that very moment, the Light Demon King and the Dark Demon King followed closely behind and stormed in.

A fallen holy light that emanates from a being capable of purifying everything.

The other unleashed an eternal void capable of devouring everything.

The two opposing yet equally powerful forces of light and darkness intertwined perfectly at this moment, temporarily holding back the twenty-four heavens in mid-air.

"Fellow Daoists, let's attack together! Break this formation!"

Seeing this, the other demon kings also held nothing back, each manifesting their most powerful demonic forms and charging into the seemingly crumbling Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation from all directions.

In an instant, demonic energy surged and divine light flashed wildly within the entire formation, laws collided and the Great Dao wailed!
However, just when these demon kings thought they were about to succeed and could tear the great formation apart in one fell swoop,

Three stunningly beautiful women, dressed in palace attire, each with a distinct temperament, appeared silently above the grand formation: one gentle, one aloof, and one charming.

They are the true masters of this formation—Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao!
As Yunxiao, the leader, looked down at the numerous demon kings wreaking havoc, a chilling killing intent flashed across her gentle face.

Without uttering a single unnecessary word, she simply tossed the small, gleaming golden Hunyuan Cauldron into the air.

“Buzz——!!!”

In an instant, an indescribable, terrifying, and profound supreme power enveloped the entire Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation!
The golden bucket swelled in the wind, transforming into a chaotic vortex that seemed capable of reversing heaven and earth, disrupting yin and yang, and returning everything to its innate and acquired state!
"receive!"

Accompanied by a soft rebuke from Lady Yunxiao.

Whether it was Meng Huai's demonic form, the Light and Darkness Demon King's Light and Darkness Domain, or the various powerful supernatural abilities and magical treasures displayed by other demon kings.

At this moment, it was as if they had encountered the most terrifying natural enemy.

His indestructible cultivation and unyielding power were rapidly stripped away and purified under the illumination of the mysterious yellow divine light emanating from the golden goblet, returning him to his most primitive mortal body!

"No! My magic power! My cultivation!"

The moment a powerful demon king was struck by the golden light, he let out a wail filled with endless terror and disbelief.

His demonic body, capable of moving mountains and filling seas, rapidly degenerated into a mere mortal body with no strength to even kill a chicken in just a few breaths.

Immediately afterwards, he was blown away by the omnipresent evil winds and evil energy in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, and his body and soul were destroyed, and not even a trace of his true spirit could escape!

Just as the demons were thrown into disarray and their formation faltered by the terrifying power of the Chaos Golden Cauldron, Fairy Qiongxiao and Fairy Bixiao made their move simultaneously!

"Come!"

The Hunyuan Golden Cauldron inhaled at another demon king, then fell into the formation and immediately became a mortal.

The demons trembled with fear:

"What a powerful formation! Everyone be careful!"

~~~~~
Jiepai Pass.

Upon seeing the demons enter the fray, Cheng Tang and Yi Yin being held back, and the Three Immortals and Zhao Gongming being transferred away, Jieyin and Zhunti stepped out of the void.

Zhunti looked at Xuanqing and Taishang, and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoists, this Ten Thousand Immortals Formation can be broken now."

"Please!" Xuanqing and the Supreme Elder made way for each other.

Jieyin and Zhunti nodded.

Then, Zhunti conjured the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand, and with a sweep of his hand, opened the outer array gate of the Ten Thousand Immortals Array.

Jieyin stepped forward, waved the Azure Lotus Banner, and lotus blossoms fell and drifted into the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

"Form ranks!!"

A unified shout rang out as the followers of the Western Sect joined the battle, beginning to break through the inner formation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

"Let's join the battle!"

Xuanqing's sandalwood chariot was suspended about two feet off the ground, supported by auspicious clouds, with auspicious colors soaring.

Taishang rode a blue ox with flat horns, followed by Jieyin and Zhunti.

In an instant, the four saints descended to the mortal realm, filling the land with mist, fragrant aromas, and rosy clouds.

Seeing that the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was about to be broken, and seeing the four saints arrive together, Lingbao Tianzun immediately shouted.

"Fellow!"

"coming!"

A crimson glow descended upon the earth, and Nuwa emerged, carrying her crimson-sleeved celestial sword.

Lingbao Tianzun raised the Qingping Sword and charged at Xuanqing first.

"You old scoundrel, Yuanshi, take this sword!"
