Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 828 Breakthrough Opportunity, Returning to the Void Realm (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Upon hearing this, Yu Chenzi lightly waved his whisk, and the Daoist aura around him flowed naturally, as if he had merged with the surrounding world, his aura ethereal and vast.

"When I was trapping and killing that thousand-headed giant in the formation, I gained some insights into the operation of the stars and the meridians of heaven and earth. Recently, while meditating, I also felt that the opportunity to return to emptiness was faintly visible."

"As Fellow Daoist Blood Demon said, this kind of pressure is also an opportunity."

"If we retreat now, our Daoist heart will be clouded, and we may lose the will to be courageous and diligent in our progress."

His meaning was equally clear: he was unwilling to retreat and wanted to seek a breakthrough through a desperate battle.

Finally, everyone's eyes turned to the Sword Master of Taixu.

The Sword Master of Taixu remained calm, but the sword intent around him, which seemed capable of cleaving through the void, was purer and more restrained than before, as if all his sharpness was concentrated in one point.

"My sword must be sharpened in desperate situations."

He stated succinctly, "The battle with the demonic projection was very beneficial. The path to returning to the void is now at our feet. Retreating now would obstruct our sword heart and render all our previous efforts futile."

The three vice alliance leaders actually gained some insights during the previous fierce battle, and during this precious break in the ceasefire, they touched the edge of the Void Returning Realm!

They all chose to stay, hoping to use the upcoming, even more terrifying, demonic all-out attack as a whetstone and stepping stone for their own breakthrough!
Looking at the three people before him, their fighting spirit soaring and ready to contend with the demon god, Li Yunjing felt a surge of heroic pride welling up within him.

Who comes here not to fight for a sliver of hope in the final battle, or even... a greater opportunity?

"Since the three of you share this ambition, how could I, Li, fall behind?"

"These hundred or so puppets of mine may be able to form the 'Great Puppet Formation of the Capital'. At a critical moment, they might be able to trap one or two powerful enemies and create an opportunity for you all!"

Li Yunjing declared loudly, "Since retreating means fighting to the death, while advancing offers a glimmer of hope and a chance to break through, then let's fight!"

"it is good!"

"That's right!"

"Only war!"

The four looked at each other and saw the undeniable fighting spirit and determination in each other's eyes.

The evacuation plan was temporarily shelved.

The final decision is to make the most thorough preparations and adjust our state in the last few days to meet the demon race's all-out attack!

Seek survival through war, seek victory through war!
Alternatively, borrow the power of the demon god to reach the Void Realm and turn the tide of the battle!

Either we perish together with this "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals"!
The second battle against the demons' attack must succeed!
The decision was made, and a tragic and resolute atmosphere permeated the air, yet it also carried a do-or-die spirit.

With the decision made, the four no longer hesitated.

The Sword Master of Taixu immediately took out a jade talisman with an ancient design and swirling purple mist. It was the "Tianlan Communication Talisman," the highest-level talisman of the "Tianlan Alliance," which could traverse endless star fields and instantly transmit information back to the "Tianlan Star" headquarters.

With a solemn expression, he used his divine sense to clearly imprint the current battle situation in the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals", the threat of the Demon Clan's dimensional passage, the current situation of their own high-end combat power reaching the bottleneck of returning to the Void, and the decision made by the four of them to "fight to the death and seek a breakthrough" into the jade talisman.

"...This battle concerns the survival of the 'Ancient Realm of Buried Immortals,' and also our path of cultivation."

"However, the demon race is powerful, and if the true form of the demon god were to appear, the outcome would be unpredictable."

"We humbly beseech Your Majesty to grant us the greatest possible support, considering the valiant efforts of our soldiers on the front lines and our own determination to fight to the death!"

Finally, he said in a deep voice, "Whether it's immortal crystals, secret treasures, or methods to restrain the demon god, these are all things we urgently need! If we receive help, we will do our utmost, even if it means our death, to shatter the demon race's fangs!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the jade talisman shone brightly with purple light, then transformed into a thin purple line that instantly pierced through the void and disappeared.

The message has been sent; now it's just a matter of waiting.

While they waited, Li Yunjing and the other three jointly issued a new order.

The atmosphere of preparation within the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" grew even more tense, as everyone knew that these might be the final days.

Li Yunjing readjusted the 120 advanced fourth-tier puppets and began practicing the "Dutian Puppet Formation".

This formation was created by him by combining the characteristics of puppets with ancient formations. With puppets as the base of the formation, it can gather the power of the masses to form a powerful trapping and killing domain, which is enough to threaten beings at the third or even fourth or fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Yu Chenzi practically lived at the core of all the major formations, personally sorting out the earth's veins and adjusting the positions of the stars to maximize the potential of defensive systems such as the "Zhou Tian Star Formation." He even went so far as to expend his own essence to inscribe several forbidden formation patterns that were his most treasured secrets.

The Blood Demon Ancestor was the most direct. He ventured deep into the edge of the demonic energy that remained after the demons retreated, actively hunting down the scattered demon scouts and monsters that had not yet completely retreated. He used battle to sustain his strength and hone his Blood Sea Divine Power. His aura became increasingly fierce and violent, and the barrier of returning to the void seemed to be getting thinner and thinner.

The Sword Master of Taixu sat cross-legged at the highest point of the barrier, with the ancient longsword lying across his lap.

He didn't cultivate; he simply wiped the sword quietly, as if communicating with it, or as if accumulating unparalleled sharpness to cut through all obstacles.

Time passed day by day in a tense and urgent atmosphere...

On the seventh day, as the dimensional channel in the distant demon realm fluctuated more and more violently, and the distorted and terrifying demonic shadows at the other end of the channel could be seen with the naked eye, the core teleportation array of the "Burial Immortal Ancient Realm" once again lit up with an unprecedentedly brilliant light!
This time, the light was not the massive pillar of light that accompanied the arrival of reinforcements, but a more refined and noble purple-gold color!
As the light faded, three figures appeared.

Leading the group was not a vast army, but a majestic figure dressed in a bright yellow imperial robe, wearing a flat-topped crown, his face blurred as if shrouded in boundless glory.

He simply stood there, and an unparalleled imperial aura, as if ruling over the star field and reigning supreme over the world, permeated the air, making the laws of the entire "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" seem to become more orderly and stable!
It was none other than the leader of the "Tianlan Alliance," the supreme being who ruled over a continent, Emperor Huangze!
Two people followed behind the Dharma body of Emperor Huangze.

A man dressed in a Bagua Taoist robe, holding a compass, whose aura was somewhat similar to Yu Chenzi, but even more profound, was the national advisor of the "Huangze Dynasty," Tianzhenzi!

The other person was a woman shrouded in a hazy fairy light, with a graceful figure. She held a green lamp in her hand, the flame of which was small but emitted a warm and firm light. She was the Empress of the "Huangze Dynasty", Fairy Miaodan!
These three can be considered the most core high-ranking members of the "Tianlan Alliance" besides the four on the front lines!
The presence of Emperor Huangze himself is especially significant!

"See the Emperor!"

The four people—Sword Master Taixu, Yu Chenzi, Blood Demon Ancestor, and Li Yunjing—immediately stepped forward and bowed in respect.

All the cultivators within the fortress who sensed this imperial pressure, regardless of their location, involuntarily bowed down.

"Excuse me."

When Emperor Huangze spoke, his voice was calm yet carried an undeniable majesty, instantly spreading throughout the entire "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals," calming the restlessness and unease caused by the pressure from the Demon Clan.

His gaze swept over the four people, lingering for a moment on the Taixu Sword Master, Yu Chenzi, and Blood Demon Ancestor, whose auras had all improved, before finally landing on the menacing puppet army behind Li Yunjing, and he nodded slightly.

"I have received the battle reports from the front."

"You have fought bravely against the demonic calamity, fought valiantly, and even touched upon the opportunity to return to the void. This is truly a blessing for my 'Tianlan' and also a blessing for the human race."

"The demon race is powerful, and the true form of the demon god is about to descend. This is indeed an unprecedented crisis, but also an opportunity to break through and rebuild."

His tone was approving, then turned solemn: "Your desire to seek a breakthrough through a desperate battle is commendable. I grant your permission!"

The word "accurate" acted like a stabilizing force, completely solidifying the four's determination to fight with their backs against the wall!

"However, I and 'Tianlan' are not going to let you fight alone and die in vain."

Emperor Huangze raised his hand, and three streams of light flew toward the Sword Master of Taixu, Yu Chenzi, and the Blood Demon Ancestor.

What flew toward the Sword Master of the Void was a crystal-clear "Sword Heart Seed Jade" with countless tiny sword shadows seemingly appearing and disappearing inside.

This item is a supreme treasure of swordsmanship, which can help sword cultivators condense their sword heart at critical moments and greatly increase the success rate of breaking through to the Void Realm!

Flying toward Yu Chenzi was a scroll that was neither silk nor gold, but flowed with the trajectories of the stars in the heavens.

This diagram contains profound principles of the cosmos, which can help array masters draw upon deeper levels of stellar power and set up more powerful arrays.

What flew toward the Blood Demon Ancestor was a "Myriad Transformations Blood God Child" the size of a longan, which was constantly spinning.

This item is made by collecting the essence blood of ten thousand ferocious beasts and refining it with secret methods. It is an unparalleled tonic for blood cultivators and can help them break through bottlenecks!
The three treasures are all rare and precious items corresponding to the three people's paths to enlightenment. It is clear that Emperor Huangze had made preparations in advance, and they were highly targeted!
"Thank you, Emperor!"

The three of them received the treasure and were greatly encouraged. They felt the immense power and laws of the Great Dao contained within it, and were more confident about their upcoming breakthrough.

Finally, Emperor Huangze's gaze fell on Li Yunjing.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you, with your Nascent Soul stage, wield immortal artifacts, refine puppets, and have repeatedly achieved extraordinary feats. You are truly an anomaly."

"I know your path is extraordinary, and ordinary treasures will not benefit you much."

"Therefore, I bestow this item upon you..."

He flicked his finger, and a stream of chaotic energy fell into Li Yunjing's hand, transforming into a token that was neither real nor illusory, seemingly composed of countless tiny runes.

"This is the 'Chaos Dao Evolution Token,' which I obtained in a chaotic secret realm many years ago."

"Holding this order can interfere with and distort the laws of a local area to a certain extent, and it is especially effective against the abyssal demon rules that the demon race relies on."

"Perhaps, when your 'Heavenly Puppet Array' is combined with a celestial artifact, it can have an unexpected effect."

"In addition, it contains a trace of the primordial chaos, which can help you comprehend the mechanism of the birth and death of all things, and is also beneficial to your cultivation of thunder techniques."

Li Yunjing was shocked. Although the "Chaos Evolution Order" did not directly enhance combat power, its strategic value and its auxiliary role in his own path of cultivation were priceless!
Emperor Huangze is indeed unfathomable; every item he brought out was a masterpiece!

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty!"

Li Yunjing solemnly put away the token.

"also,"

"Tianzhenzi and Fairy Miaodan will stay here temporarily to help you strengthen your defenses and treat the wounded."

The Emperor Huangze continued, "The headquarters' treasury is now fully open to you all. Three more batches of strategic materials will be delivered via ultra-long-range teleportation arrays to ensure you have no worries!"

"This battle is not just your battle, it is also a battle for the survival of my 'Tianlan Star Region'!"

His gaze was piercing as he swept across the entire scene. His voice suddenly rose, filled with resolute fighting spirit and the responsibility of an emperor: "I and the billions of lives of 'Tianlan' are your support!"

"Give it a try!"

"Let those extraterrestrial demons know that we, the cultivators of 'Tianlan,' are not to be trifled with!"

"The backbone of our human race will never be bent, even if it breaks!"

"Must win!"

"Must win!"

"Must win!"

Emperor Huangze's words were like igniting the final fuse, completely igniting the morale and fighting spirit of the remaining cultivators in the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals," sending them soaring into the sky!

"hehe!"

Li Yunjing smiled to the side, but inwardly he was quite unconvinced.

Emperor Huangze, taking advantage of this great calamity, has truly come to regard himself as the emperor of "Tianlan Star".

However, none of the other vice leaders refuted this, so Li Yunjing naturally didn't say anything either.

At this time, unity is paramount.

The important thing is to withstand the demons' second full-scale attack!

Otherwise, forget about everything!
Emperor Huangze's encouragement and support were like injecting the last bit of strength into a taut bowstring.

After a brief surge of high morale, the war machine of the "Burial Immortal Ancient Realm" fell into a final, profound silence before the decisive battle.

Currently, in the "Ancient Realm of Burial Immortals," there are forty-two True Monarchs at the Nascent Soul Realm, one thousand True Persons at the Core Formation Realm, and an army of one hundred and twenty thousand cultivators at the Golden Core Realm!

The power here is already equivalent to one-fifth of the power of the "Tianlan Alliance".

Tianzhenzi and Fairy Miaodan immediately got to work.

Tianzhenzi and Yuchenzi joined forces, and the two grandmasters of formations worked together to optimize and reinforce the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Formation" in the final stages. Countless profound formation patterns were engraved in the void and on the earth, and the stellar power they attracted almost turned into a tangible silver light band that enveloped the entire realm.

Fairy Miaodan led the disciples of the Pill Pavilion to set up several large healing arrays, filled with vibrant spiritual energy to maximize the survivability of the defenders.

Li Yunjing locked himself in a makeshift training ground, where 120 puppets were under his control, moving as if they were his own arms, practicing the various transformations of the "Dutian Puppet Array".

The formation was sometimes like an impregnable fortress, sometimes like a net that could crush everything, and sometimes like a series of illusions that confused the senses.

The "Chaos Evolution Token" in his hand occasionally emitted a faint light, subtly resonating with the aura of the formation and the "Divine Firmament Thunder Seal," giving him more ideas on how to use this treasure in actual combat.

Time, amidst this extreme repression and preparation, came to an end.

The tenth day, at noon.

However, the sky above the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" was completely shrouded in endless demonic clouds, obscuring the sun.

At the center of the Demon Realm, 100,000 miles away, the massive dimensional passage suddenly trembled. Then, like a prehistoric beast opening its blood-red maw to devour everything, an indescribable terrifying demonic power surged out like a tsunami!

"Boom!"

A footstep, seemingly from the deepest depths of hell, reverberated through the passage, striking the hearts of every living being.

The cultivators with slightly lower cultivation levels instantly turned pale, almost vomiting blood.

Immediately afterwards, a giant foot covered with even deeper and more ferocious black scales, and wrapped with dark red destructive lightning, slowly stepped out of the passage!
The pressure emanating from this giant foot alone far surpasses that of the previous demon god projection!
Space groaned and shattered around this giant foot, forming patches of eternal darkness and nothingness.

Then came another giant foot... a massive body... and a head that seemed to be formed from countless twisted stars and resentful faces!
His true form has finally descended!

This Void Demon God was so enormous that its size was immeasurable, resembling a moving dark celestial body. On its head, countless cold compound eyes burning with dark red demonic flames opened simultaneously, indifferently scanning the "Ancient Realm of Burial Immortals".

That single glance caused the entire realm's defensive light barrier to ripple violently, groaning under its strain!
Behind Him, an even larger and more elite demon army surged forth from the passage like a burst dam of the Styx!

Among them, four demon gods at the Void Returning level appeared!

The aura of a demon lord at the Nascent Soul level exceeded one hundred!
There are tens of thousands of demon commanders at the Nascent Soul level!

The lower-ranking demons were almost as numerous as locusts, countless in number.

The real catastrophe is coming!

"Activate the grand formation!"

Yu Chenzi and Tian Zhenzi's voices rang out simultaneously, their composure carrying a resolute air.

"Zhou Tian Star Array, activate!"

"Nine Heavens Cloud Movement Wind and Thunder Formation, activate!"

"The Earth-Supporting Array is secure!"

……

In an instant, countless dazzling beams of light shot into the sky from all parts of the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals," connecting the stars, stirring up wind and thunder, and converging the earth's veins!
Layer upon layer of colorful array light curtains, like the most solid eggshell, protected the entire realm and fiercely clashed with the surging demonic power from the outside!
"Boom!"

A terrifying shockwave exploded in the starry sky, crushing countless approaching meteorites and small monsters.

"The struggle of an ant."

The Void Demon God emitted a deep and grand thought, tinged with disdain.

He slowly raised his giant claw, which was wrapped in dark red demonic lightning. It seemed slow, but it instantly traversed tens of thousands of miles of space, carrying the absolute power to crush stars and destroy all laws, and slammed it down on the core barrier of the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals"!

This claw attack was more than ten times more powerful than the previous projected attack!
"It's now!"

The Sword Master of the Void suddenly opened his eyes, which now held nothing but the pure sword intent that could sever everything! "Clang!"

The longsword on his lap automatically unsheathed and fell into his hand.

The "Sword Heart Jade Seed" bestowed by Emperor Huangze instantly merged into his brow, and his entire aura became completely integrated with the immortal sword in his hand, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot sword rainbow that tore through the heavens and earth. Instead of retreating, it advanced straight towards the demon god's claw that blotted out the sky!
"The sword opens the gate of heaven!"

The dazzling sword light illuminated the dark starry sky, carrying the sword cultivation of the Taixu Sword Master throughout his life and his resolute belief in breaking through to the Void Realm, and fiercely slashed towards the demonic claws!

Almost simultaneously, Yu Chenzi and Tian Zhenzi joined forces to unleash the "Star Array Diagram"!
As the array unfolded, it seemed to summon a real starry sky. Countless illusory stars rotated, appeared and disappeared, and converged into a dazzling torrent of stars, surrounding the sword light of the Taixu Sword Master, empowering it, and attempting to entangle and weaken the power of the demonic claws!

"Break it on me!"

A furious roar came from the flank!
The Blood Demon Ancestor transformed into a towering wave of blood that stretched across the starry sky. Within the wave, the "Myriad Transformations Blood God Child" exploded, transforming into countless Blood God Child clones that frantically devoured and corrupted the dark red demonic lightning and protective demonic energy entwined on the demonic claws!

The Blood Sea Divine Power clashed fiercely with the Demonic Lightning, producing a sizzling, corrosive sound!
Three top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators who had reached the bottleneck of the Void Returning stage joined forces without reservation, supported by treasures bestowed by Emperor Huangze, to directly confront the first blow of the Demon God's true form!
Li Yunjing, on the other hand, controlled all the power of the formation and focused it on the three masters!
This power surpasses even the Nascent Soul stage and can even trap and kill those at the Void Refinement stage!

"boom!!!"

A collision that defies description occurred!
Sword light, starlight, waves of blood, and demonic claws collided violently!
At that moment, it was like the Big Bang at the beginning of the universe, with endless light and the darkness of energy annihilation intertwining to form a short-lived chaotic singularity!

The terrifying shockwave spread out in a ring, clearing away the demonic clouds within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, and even dimming the distant stars!
"puff!"

The Sword Master of Taixu was the first to be hit. His sword rainbow shattered, and his body flew backward, spitting out blood. His immortal sword wailed, clearly indicating that he had been seriously injured. However, his eyes burned with an even more intense flame, and the Void Return Barrier trembled violently at the critical moment of life and death!
The star barrier that Yu Chenzi and Tian Zhenzi had jointly set up shattered inch by inch. The two of them groaned at the same time, their faces turning pale, clearly suffering from the backlash.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

"happy!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor's blood waves were mostly dispersed, and he reformed his form. His aura was chaotic, but the madness and fighting spirit in his eyes were even higher!
The Void Demon God's seemingly inevitable claw strike was actually blocked in mid-air by the combined forces of these three forces, failing to directly shatter the core barrier of the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals"!

The demonic lightning wrapped around the claws dimmed considerably, and even fine sword marks and corrosion marks appeared on the scales!

He was blocked!

Although it was only a brief moment, and although all three masters were injured, it was undoubtedly a huge encouragement!

"Roar!"

The Void Demon God roared in shock and anger, clearly not expecting that these "ants" could actually work together to block his attack!
"You have angered me!"

Its massive body suddenly leaned forward, and even more dark red lightning coiled around its giant claws as if they were alive, ready to launch an even more terrifying attack!

Just then, Li Yunjing made a move!

The "Divine Firmament Thunder Seal" flew out from his hand!

Immediately afterwards, the two supreme treasures, "Falling Treasure Immortal Coin" and "Ten Thousand Demon Tower," reappeared, transforming into two beams of divine light that cleaved through the universe.

In the hands of the Taixu Sword Master, the "Taixu Divine Sword" shone with the most dazzling divine light, and this immortal sword seemed to be able to shatter the universe!

As reinforcements arrived, a flash appeared in the sleeve of Fairy Miaodan's robe, and after nine dragon roars, the "Nine Dragons Imperial Seal," an immortal artifact of the "Huangze Dynasty," transformed into nine golden dragons and pounced on the enemy!

"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"

Upon seeing this, Yu Chenzi sighed and brandished a three-foot jade sword, carrying a sharp killing intent, slashing towards the head of the demon god!
"Hahaha! Since you've all used your celestial artifacts, I won't hold back anymore."

Within the sea of ​​blood, the Blood Demon Ancestor laughed wildly. A blood-red chariot appeared beneath his feet. With a thunderous roar, blood light rained down, protecting him firmly as he charged towards the Void Demon God!
Seven celestial artifacts flew out!

Seven immortal artifacts appeared out of nowhere, their immortal light intertwined and their laws roaring. The entire "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" seemed to have transformed into a battlefield for these immortal artifacts, and their dazzling light even temporarily dispelled the gloom of the demonic clouds!

The Taixu Sword Master, wielding the "Taixu Divine Sword," transformed into a sword rainbow, becoming one with the sword, and once again slashed at the giant claw of the demon god. The sword light was so pure that it seemed to cut through the curtain of the universe!
Yu Chenzi's three-foot jade sword is named "Slaying Thoughts". It looks small, but it is specifically designed to slay thoughts and ideas. The sword light passes silently and directly pierces the core of the demon god's head, which is made up of countless resentful faces!
The Blood Demon Ancestor rode the crimson chariot "God-Slaying Chariot," the chariot roaring and the blood light soaring to the sky, like an ancient ferocious beast awakening, carrying a violent aura that could crush everything, and directly crashed into the body of the Demon God!

Fairy Miaodan manipulated the "Nine Dragons Imperial Seal." The nine golden dragons were not illusions, but manifestations of laws containing imperial dragon energy and the vitality of creation. The dragons roared and entangled and bit at the demon god's limbs, attempting to bind him!

Li Yunjing had the "Divine Firmament Thunder Seal" above his head, with thousands of bolts of lightning protecting his body. At the same time, he fully activated the projections of the "Falling Treasure Immortal Coin" and the "Ten Thousand Demon Tower".

The "Falling Treasure Immortal Coin" transformed into an inconspicuous stream of light, not attacking the demon god's main body, but precisely brushing towards the most powerful dark red demonic lightning bolts wrapped around its giant claws, attempting to weaken its attack!

The projection of the "Tower of Ten Thousand Demons" cast down a dark light to suppress the demonic aura, enveloping the demon army surging behind the demon god and suppressing it in an area!
Meanwhile, the Emperor Huangze, who was far away on "Tianlan Star", clearly sensed the battle situation here through a secret method. He remotely activated the Imperial Dragon Qi and used the "Tianlan Star" formation to unleash a jet-black beam of light that was condensed to the extreme. It crossed the star field, arrived first after being delayed, and directly bombarded the center of the countless compound eyes on the head of the demon god!

The seven immortal artifacts, some for offense, some for support, some for weakening, and some for suppressing, worked in perfect harmony with a clear objective, instantly engulfing the Void Demon God!

This is the explosion of the accumulated strength of "Tianlan Star" over countless years!
"Roar!!!"

The Void Demon God let out the most furious roar since the start of the war, which was also tinged with a hint of fear!

He could sense the immense power contained within these celestial artifacts, a power capable of threatening His very essence!

Especially the "Ten Thousand Demon Tower" attack that came from afar, the "Severing Thought Jade Sword" that specifically targets the soul, and the "Falling Treasure Immortal Coin" that strangely swept away His innate demonic lightning!
"I never imagined that so many celestial artifacts existed in this world!"

His massive body suddenly erupted with raging demonic flames, and dark red destructive lightning spread across his entire body like a spider web, forming an indestructible defensive layer.

At the same time, His countless compound eyes lit up, shooting out billions of distorted rays of light to interfere with reality, distort the laws, and attempt to deflect and weaken the attack of the immortal artifact!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The earth-shattering explosions continued one after another!
Sword energy clashed with demonic claws once more, blood waves collided violently with the demonic body, golden dragons coiled and tore at each other, lightning and demonic thunder annihilated each other, and dark light and distorted rays intertwined and neutralized each other...

The starry sky was shattered into chaos, with earth, fire, water, and wind surging wildly, and fragments of laws flying everywhere!

"puff!"

The Sword Master of Taixu coughed up blood and flew backward again. His sword-wielding arm trembled violently, and his tiger's mouth split open. However, his eyes grew brighter, and his sword intent not only did not weaken, but became even more condensed under extreme pressure. The Void Return Barrier emitted a clear cracking sound!
"kill!"

Yu Chenzi's face turned pale. The "Severing Thoughts Jade Sword" was blocked by billions of distorted rays of light and failed to achieve its full effect. However, his Dao heart remained firm, and he waved his whisk again to help the "Nine Dragons Emperor Seal" stabilize the front line.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Happy!"

"I saw!"

"The Gate to Return to Emptiness has been opened!"

"Our ancestor wants to fight a life-or-death battle to break through to this realm and live for another five thousand years!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor's "God-Slaying Chariot" collided violently with the Demon God's body. The chariot flashed with blood-red light and emitted a piercing creaking sound. The Blood Demon Ancestor laughed wildly, using the force to fly backward. The sea of ​​blood churned, and his aura actually rose again during the battle!
"What a pity! My combat strength is still a notch below these people!"

A trickle of blood spilled from Fairy Miaodan's lips. Simultaneously controlling the "Nine Dragons Emperor Seal" and maintaining a large-scale healing formation had taken a heavy toll on her, but her eyes remained resolute. The nine golden dragons tightly entwined the Demon God's arm, causing his movements to slow down for a moment!
Li Yunjing grunted. The "Falling Treasure Immortal Coin" successfully knocked off the three strongest innate demonic lightning bolts, but the coin itself dimmed, indicating a huge consumption.

The dark light projected by the "Tower of Ten Thousand Demons" was also mostly dispersed by the power of the demon god.

Just as the seven immortal artifacts and the Void Demon God were locked in a fierce battle, causing the starry sky to boil, the demon army behind the Demon God, like a black tidal wave, launched a full-scale attack on the defense line of the "Burial Immortal Ancient Realm"!
Those four Void Returning Demon Gods did not directly join the siege of the Void Sword Master and the others!
Instead, they cunningly dispersed, each leading hundreds of Nascent Soul Demon Lords and hundreds of thousands of Enlightened Soul Demon Commanders, like four poisoned daggers, fiercely stabbing at the crumbling array light screen from different directions!
"Jie Jie Jie!"

"Tear them apart!"

"Devoure their flesh and souls!"

A Void-Returning Demon God, shaped like a giant scorpion with a tail hook that gleamed with a ghostly blue poisonous light, let out a piercing mental roar. Its massive scorpion tail lashed out and struck the light screen at the southeast corner of the "Zhou Tian Star Array"!

"Crack!"

The light barrier, already bearing the brunt of the aftershocks from the main battlefield, suddenly cracked open with a huge gap!

"kill!"

The Nascent Soul Demon Lords, who had been waiting in full battle array, grinned maliciously and transformed into terrifying demonic shadows, swarming in through the crack!

Behind them were low-level monsters like locusts swarming across the land!
"Stop them!"

"Form ranks! Defend!"

Inside the fortress, the forty-odd Nascent Soul True Monarchs and over a thousand Nascent Soul True Persons who remained behind had solemn expressions as they roared and charged forward.

The light of swords, Taoist magic, and magical treasures instantly shone, colliding fiercely with the charging demon lord and demon commander!
As soon as the two sides made contact, the human alliance was put at a disadvantage!
Demons are individually powerful, fearless, and possess the corrosive effect of demonic energy.

A human god-level True Monarch often has to face the combined attack of two to three demon lords of the same level, and is instantly in grave danger!
The battlefield for Nascent Soul cultivators was even more brutal. The number of demon commanders far exceeded that of real cultivators. They would often surround and kill one person in groups of three or five. The protective spiritual light of Nascent Soul cultivators was constantly torn apart, and they fell after letting out a shrill scream. Even the Nascent Soul cultivators did not have time to escape before being devoured by demonic energy!

The army of Golden Core cultivators was like a candle in the wind amidst the aftershocks of battles between Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation cultivators. They could only rely on the combined strength of large battle formations to resist, but the demonic tide was endless, the battle formations were constantly being broken, and the number of casualties was rising sharply!
The entire defense line of the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" is in dire straits, with rivers of blood flowing everywhere!
"Hahahaha!"

Blood! More blood!

On the battlefield, the towering blood waves transformed from the Blood Demon Ancestor rolled in the aftershocks of the Demon God's claw attack. Instead of being weakened by his injuries, he frantically devoured the blood energy and soul power spreading across the battlefield. Whether it was human or demon, all of it was refined and absorbed by his domineering Blood Sea Divine Power!
In particular, the primordial demonic blood released by those few Nascent Soul Demon Lords who were injured or even perished by the aftershocks of the immortal artifacts was a great tonic for him!

"Not enough! Not enough!"

"Ancestor, I want more!"

His crimson eyes swept over the four rampaging Void Returning Demon Gods, a glint of greed and madness flashing in them.

"It's now!"

He suddenly poured the massive amount of blood and soul power he had just devoured, along with the remaining medicinal power of the "Myriad Transformations Blood God Child" bestowed by Emperor Huangze, and his own vast accumulated resources, into his Blood Sea Dao without reservation!
"The sea of ​​blood is boundless, and the Demon Lord rises and falls!"

"Open the Gate of Return to Emptiness for me!"

"Boom!!!"

An aura far more terrifying and violent than before erupted from the Blood Demon Ancestor!

The churning blood waves around him instantly solidified, then collapsed inward to the extreme, transforming into a massive demonic egg, crimson as blood, seemingly containing an endless sea of ​​blood!

On the surface of the demon egg, countless wailing vengeful spirits and churning blood dragons appeared in phantom form!

"Crack!"

The next moment, the demon egg shattered!

A blood-red Dharma image, towering ten thousand feet tall and bearing the same face as the Blood Demon Ancestor, yet exuding an unparalleled demonic might that disregards all living beings and slaughters all spirits, stepped out!
His Dharma form was incredibly solid, his blood-red robes fluttering in the wind, and beneath his feet, an endless sea of ​​blood churned in the shadows. Although he held no physical weapon, his five fingers, when spread out, seemed capable of crushing stars and holding the reins of life and death!

Returning to Emptiness!

become!
Blood Demon Ancestor, amidst such chaos and carnage, by absorbing the battlefield's blood energy and his own accumulated power, became the first to break through the barrier and instantly achieve the Void Return Realm!

Although the realm was newly formed and still needed to be stabilized, the terrifying pressure belonging to the Void Returning Great Power had already swept across the entire area!

"Hahaha! Return to Emptiness!"

"This is the power of returning to emptiness!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor felt the immense power surging within him, far surpassing anything he had ever experienced before, and let out a deafening laugh.

His gaze shifted and instantly locked onto the giant scorpion demon god that was wreaking havoc in the southeast corner.

"Scorpion, I, your ancestor, will accept your essence!"

He took a step forward, and waves of blood surged beneath his feet, instantly traversing tens of thousands of miles of void. His enormous blood-red Dharma form, carrying a blood-red light that devoured everything and defiled all laws, slashed down at the giant scorpion demon god!
The giant scorpion demon god had just lashed out at a human god-level cultivator with its tail and was about to expand its victory when it suddenly felt a terrifying pressure descend upon it. When it turned around, it saw a blood-red hand that blotted out the sky and fell down!
"What?! He's broken through to the Void Returning Realm?!"

It was terrified and tried to escape, but the power of the laws contained in the blood hand had already sealed off the space around it!

"Do not!!"

With a desperate roar, the crimson giant hand slammed shut!
"Pfft!"

Like crushing an insect, the giant scorpion demon god, along with dozens of Nascent Soul demon lords around it, was instantly crushed into a thick cloud of blood mist, which was then swallowed up by the Blood Sea Dharma Image with a single breath!

"Great supplement!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor licked his lips, and his aura visibly solidified even more!
The Blood Demon Ancestor broke through to the Void Returning stage and instantly killed the Giant Scorpion Demon Lord. This shocking scene was like pouring cold water into a boiling oil pot, instantly igniting the entire battlefield!

"The Blood Demon Ancestor has broken through!"

"Return to Emptiness! We now possess the power of Returning to Emptiness!"

"Kill! Kill all these demon bastards!"

The allied defenses, which had been teetering on the brink of collapse under the demons' frenzied onslaught, now displayed astonishing resilience.

A spark of hope ignited in the eyes of every cultivator. They roared, transforming their grief and determination into strength, and held back the onslaught of the demonic tide!
However, the demons' offensive did not weaken as a result.

The remaining three Void Returning Demon Gods were wary of the Blood Demon Ancestor, after all, the Blood Demon Ancestor possessed a Celestial-level magic weapon, while they did not!
Immortal artifacts in the hands of a Void Returning Great Power are far more powerful than those in the hands of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

The "God-Slaying Chariot" was almost unstoppable, rampaging through the massive demon army and slaughtering countless demon warriors.

The terrifying power almost terrified even the Void Returning experts of the Demon Clan!

Unless the three of them join forces to kill him, they have no way to fight against the Blood Demon Ancestor!

The Blood Demon Ancestor's counterattack caused some fluctuations on the battlefield, but the overall situation did not improve.

The "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" is too vast.

With demons attacking from all sides, even the mighty Blood Demon Ancestor couldn't possibly kill the entire demon army by himself.

He didn't even dare to charge the demon army's central force; he only charged nearby, killing 30,000 to 50,000 demons in one go, before urging his "God-Slaying Chariot" to escape, leaving others unable to catch up.

Soon, the demons also adjusted.

The three Void Returning Realm experts, along with over a thousand Nascent Soul Demon Lords, were chasing after the Blood Demon Ancestor!

Meanwhile, the other demons frantically directed their armies to attack.

They knew very well that they had to break through this defense before the human reinforcements could gain a firm foothold!

"At all costs! Surround and kill this man!"

A Void-Returning Demon God, resembling a multi-headed monstrous bird, shrieked, its wings unleashing a deluge of corrosive black feathers that poured down like a torrential rain onto the blood-red light screen, creating ripples.

Another massive rock demon, as large as a mountain, directly rammed its body into the "God-Slaying Chariot." Each impact caused the sea of ​​blood around the chariot to tremble, and the light curtain to flicker.

The last one is an assassin-type demon god lurking in the shadows. It constantly traverses the void, and every time it appears, it brings a deadly move, making it impossible for the Blood Demon Ancestor to defend against.

Meanwhile, the defense line on the main battlefield is already in grave danger!
"boom!!!"

Just then, the core teleportation array of the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" once again erupted with an unprecedented soaring divine light!
This time, the beam of light was incredibly thick, piercing through the heavens and earth, as if connecting to another world!
Immediately afterwards, a powerful, chaotic aura, yet imbued with the unique vitality and malevolent energy of the human race, surged forth from the teleportation array like a burst dam!

"Disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, heed my command!"

"Form the 'Ten Thousand Demons Devouring Heaven Formation' and follow me to annihilate the demons!"

A cold and domineering voice, seemingly containing an endless abyss of evil, resounded through the sky.

A group of cultivators dressed in various black robes, their auras sometimes eerie, sometimes violent, sometimes sinister, surged out like a tide.

They were surrounded by demonic energy, but unlike the chaotic evil of the extraterrestrial demons, their demonic energy was more refined and orderly, carrying a Daoist charm that pursued great freedom and transcendence!
The leader was none other than Ye Wuyai, the current sect master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, an old demon at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!

His gaze swept across the battlefield, a bloodthirsty excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Hmph, these extraterrestrial demons dare to invade my territory?"

"My lads, let them see what true demonic power is!"
