Daqin Zhentiansi

Amidst a deafening roar that shook the heavens, the Supreme Elder of Penglai, Master Xuanming, stood tall with his hair and beard bristling, as if an ancient immortal had been resurrected.

His withered arms suddenly opened wide, and countless jade slips, talismans, and precious seals behind him soared into the sky.

The remaining and relatively intact Zhenhai Pillar suddenly burst forth with a blazing blue light.

The mysterious inscription "Yu Zhen Jiu Chuan" on the pillar seemed to come alive, transforming into thick, luminous dragons that connected the remaining ancient array bases throughout the island.

"Click!"

A deafening roar came from deep within the earth's veins as chains snapped and then reconnected.

With the Zhenhai Pillar at its core, the power of the broken mountains and rivers of the Immortal Island was forcibly awakened and gathered!
Countless chains, gleaming with a clear, celestial light, pierced through the filthy demonic atmosphere, weaving together into a giant net that covered half the sky.

This "Zhou Tian Forbidden Yuan Grand Array," formed from the accumulated earth veins of the Immortal Island over millennia, though no longer possessing its former glory, forcefully suppressed the surging torrent of demonic energy in its core area, trapping a group of demonic generals writhing like rotten swamp serpents within it.

"Roar--!"

At the core of the formation, a towering lava demon commander roared as its giant lava fist, imbued with the power to scorch the heavens, crashed into the light net.

"Hmph, a mere demon dares to desecrate the immortal land!" Beside Venerable Xuanming, the glass statue of Granny Yuji shimmered with light, and the petrified immortal light instantly turned into an extreme incandescent white.

"Jade Purity Illuminates Evil, Burns Demonic Flames!"

A scorching beam of light, condensed purely from the pure light of immortals and possessing an extremely strong restraining power against demonic and evil things, shot out with a roar!

At the same time, the remaining alchemy furnaces on the immortal island ignited, transforming into countless crimson fire dragons that crashed into the demon horde.

High-level talisman cultivators used their essence and blood to write the ancient "Demon-Slaying True Talisman," whose light rained down, specifically targeting the demon's core.

Even more impressively, disciples with remnants of the sword cultivation lineage formed a broken sword formation, using sharp sword energy in conjunction with a net of light to annihilate their opponents!

In an instant, the celestial light and demonic flames collided and annihilated wildly within the Forbidden Yuan Formation!
The demon let out a shrill, mournful howl, its flesh melting away like ice and snow under the celestial light. This was the culmination of ten thousand years of suppressed resentment and the culmination of Penglai's profound heritage!
However, this is merely a matter of trapping the enemy and suppressing them locally.

"Om-"

"Rumble--"

Deep within the demon army, the "Crimson Abyss Formation," which connects the Guixu Sea Eye to the Abyss Origin, has been thoroughly enraged!

The entire sky suddenly darkened, as if gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand.

A torrent of magical energy, even more filthy, viscous, and suffocating than the "Power of Yi Hong" it had previously displayed, erupted from the core of that abyss!

It was no longer a single giant hand, but had transformed into tens of thousands of dark purple demonic dragons, flowing with filthy blood and vengeful spirits!

Ignoring the purification of the immortal light, they poured down from the sky with the destructive power that melted the laws of space, aiming directly at the Zhenhai Pillar that supported the Forbidden Yuan Array and the high-level cultivators who were launching a counterattack from the core of Penglai!
Wherever the demonic dragon passed, space shattered inch by inch, and chaotic void currents surged in, even polluting and devouring the remaining spiritual energy of the immortal island.

Master Xuanming's face turned deathly pale, the great formation shook violently, and the light net groaned under the strain.

The desperate counterattack of the people of the Immortal Island was like a small boat in a raging storm before the world-destroying torrent pouring down from the abyss, about to capsize! Just at this critical moment, a cold and emotionless voice pierced through the deafening demonic roar and clearly rang in Zhang Yuan's ears.

"Zhang Qingyang, the true nature of evil has been revealed. Do you dare to join forces with me to tear open this filthy celestial barrier?"

At the top of the Sky-Splitting Cannon Fortress, Bai Qi's blood-red robe surged like solidified waves of blood, and his ancient blood-red eyes reflected the abyss of the demonic dragon pouring down from the sky.

"That is exactly what I wish for!" Zhang Yuan's black robe fluttered, his chaotic true essence silently boiling around him, and his eyes burst forth with a fighting spirit more dazzling than the stars.

He suddenly took a step forward, his right hand resting on the hilt of the "Autumn Chill" sword at his waist.

At this moment, he was no longer a commander who planned and strategized, but transformed into a blade that tore through the darkness!
"Black Tortoise Emperor! Gather!"

A low shout echoed throughout the Fusang Fortress!

The colossal beast, towering over mountains and rivers, coiled around a black serpent, and seemingly emerging from chaos, solidified once more. This time, however, the Emperor's giant claws were clenched, palms pointing towards the distant Penglai sky!
The 300,000 Qin cavalry, whether they were the new troops of the Eastern Frontier, the elite soldiers of the Northern Frontier, or the Imperial Guards of the Imperial City, all felt the same way and unanimously poured their fighting spirit, murderous aura, and bloodlust into the Xuanwu Emperor!
The evil forces converged into a sea, and the illusory image of the Xuanwu Emperor transformed from reality to illusion, and then from illusion to reality again. A war power that could dominate the sky and create the world was brewing in his palm!

"Zheng——!"

The clear, sharp sound of the blade, like an ice river splitting the sky, instantly drowned out all the noise on the battlefield!
Zhang Yuan drew his sword!
It was not a giant wielding a giant blade, but a strike that gathered all the will and chaotic true essence, drawing upon the immense power of the vast military formation in the palm of the Xuanwu Emperor!
A blade of light, spanning dozens of miles and thousands of feet wide, tore through the void and fiercely slashed towards the core of the abyss that was overflowing with demonic dragons!
This strike is called "Frostbreaker"!
On its blade, the frost that flows is no longer ordinary, but the Ice Soul Calamity that has been condensed to the extreme and presents a chaotic gray color!
Around the blade's light, the space was frozen into a crystal-clear mirror, only to shatter inch by inch under the overwhelming blade's power!

Wherever the blade flashed, billions of demonic dragons crumbled upon contact, instantly turning into solidified ice shards, and then annihilated in the spatial tremors!

What's even more chilling is that at the core of that domineering and unparalleled blade of light, a line of blood, condensed from pure killing laws, can be faintly seen—

That was achieved by Bai Qi pointing his fingers like a halberd, subtly infusing a trace of "Slaughtering Life" power into it!
The bloodline, like needles, plunged deep into the core of the Demon Dragon Abyss along the path carved by the Frost Blade!

"Tear—!!!"

It was as if a thick, filthy black curtain had been torn open!

The core of that despairing torrent of demonic dragons, which connected to the source of the abyss, was actually cleaved open by this blade of frost and slaughter, leaving a huge, penetrating gap!

The piercing, cold light of the sky, like a sword of divine punishment, poured down from the gap!

Under the light of this clear moonlight, the demonic energy melted away like ice and snow, and the evil spirits sizzled and burned as if they were being thrown into hot oil!

A safe passage leading directly to the core of Penglai, temporarily cleared of all demonic energy, was clearly opened amidst the lingering power of the blades!
Outside the gap, the Supreme Elder Xuanming of Penglai trembled violently, his eyes flashing with disbelief and horror!

He witnessed firsthand the sight of that blade of light tearing through the Demon Abyss, feeling the terrifying power within it—a subtle fusion of war aura, chaotic true essence, and supreme killing force—and blurted out:

"The power of Heaven... the power of slaughter! The Qin army can actually unleash the killing might of Heaven!"

The white-bearded Taoist priest beside him, who was well-versed in the principles of Qi, trembled with excitement: "It is not the pure Heavenly Dao... but the convergence and resonance of the bloodlust of billions of soldiers, the will to conquer among military strategists, and the ultimate power of cultivation... which has triggered the most primal rules of destruction in the world!"

"The fusion of immortality and martial arts has generated such immense power!" (End of Chapter)
