Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 830 Tianlan Unity, All Races as One (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
At the same time, it also guaranteed the autonomy of all ethnic groups and the distribution of post-war benefits.

An unprecedented united front against the demons, bringing together almost all the wisdom and strength of "Tianlan Star", was thus formed!
The arrival of reinforcements from all races greatly enriched the "Tianlan Alliance's" combat methods and troop sources.

The newly opened training ground in the vast star field behind the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" presents a magnificent sight.

The "Han Hai Army Corps" rode the towering waves, practicing combined water-based magical abilities; their azure formation resembled a moving ocean.

Within the "Battle Formation of Ten Thousand Demons," giant apes pound their chests, phantom foxes appear, eagles soar through the air, and various demonic beasts cooperate according to their characteristics, their demonic energy condensing into various ferocious beast forms, exuding a menacing aura.

The "Allied Forces of a Hundred Tribes" appeared even more primitive and wild, with barbarian warriors roaring and unleashing the power of totems, and shamans chanting ancient war songs, drawing upon the great power of nature.

The sword formations, Taoist techniques, and Buddhist light of various human factions intertwined with the unique strengths of each race, undergoing arduous training and collaborative exercises.

In addition to the local forces of the "Burial Immortal Ancient Realm", there are currently four experts at the Returning Void Realm, one hundred at the Divine Transformation Realm, three thousand at the Nascent Soul Realm, and three hundred thousand at the Golden Core Realm on this ancient star!

The power here has increased fourfold compared to before!
And this was even after the four Void Returning Great Powers were deployed!
Li Yunjing did not waste these ten years.

Using his authority as the vice leader and the massive resources he obtained through battle merits, he not only raised his cultivation to the peak of the fourth level of the Nascent Soul realm, just one step away from the fifth level, but also expanded his puppet army to three hundred, with higher quality and more varied battle formations.

His understanding of the "Chaos Evolution Order" has deepened, and he has become more adept at interfering with the laws.

On this day, Li Yunjing, along with several Nascent Soul True Monarchs on duty, as well as representatives from the Sea Clan, Demon Clan, and Barbarian Clan, inspected the joint forces' drills.

Looking at the unprecedentedly large legion before him, whose auras were mixed yet subtly forming a cohesive whole, a veteran human cultivator couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined that my 'Tianlan' would one day be able to gather so many races to fight against foreign enemies."

"Under the calamity of demons, no one can remain unscathed."

The dragon prince nodded and said, "Only by joining forces can we have a glimmer of hope."

A bear demon saint, whose body was as big as a small mountain, boomed: "I, Old Bear, don't understand all those principles, but if anyone tries to destroy my home or eat my children, I'll fight them to the death!"

The barbarian high priest brandished his bone staff and said in a deep voice, "The spirits of our ancestors guide us: only by uniting can we keep the flame burning."

"Ten years of peace were merely the prelude to a storm."

“The Void Demons will never let this go.”

Li Yunjing gazed at the distant demonic passage, which remained silent yet seemed to be gathering even more terrifying power, and slowly said, "Next time, they will surely bring an even more frenzied attack."

His gaze swept over the massive allied army of myriad races before him, and his voice was firm: "But we are no longer the 'Tianlan Alliance' of ten years ago!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into a solemn silence.

A solemn yet battle-ready atmosphere permeated the starry space.

The brief peace is about to end.

The horn of the third demonic calamity may sound at any moment.

This time, they will fight side by side for their shared land, a battle with their backs to the wall!
After the high-level meeting ended, Li Yunjing walked through the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals," a war fortress. After ten years of recuperation and the arrival of the Allied Forces of Ten Thousand Races, it was no longer the dilapidated place it once was.

The fortress stood majestically, its array of lights swirling. Warships filled the starport like clouds, and cultivators, demon beasts, sea creatures, and barbarian warriors of various races moved about, their auras mingling yet orderly. An aura of iron-bloodedness and murderous intent permeated the heavens and earth.

"Ugh……"

Li Yunjing sighed. The Void Demons had suffered twice from underestimating their enemy, so they would definitely take this attack seriously next time!
This time, it will be very difficult to defend the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals".

These 300,000+ essences of "Tianlan Star" could not possibly perish with "Burial Immortal Ancient Realm." Preserving their strength and retreating to "Tianlan Star" to resist with the help of the mountain gates of many behemoth forces became the only option.

Located in the southeastern part of the fortress, in a serene courtyard personally protected by Li Yunjing, a group of old friends and acquaintances who hold special significance for him are gathered at this moment.

Inside the courtyard, a clear spring murmurs and exotic flowers bloom, creating a scene that seems like a completely different world from the desolate landscape outside.

Around the stone table, everyone sat, the aroma of the spiritual tea rising and wafting.

"I never expected that when I saw Senior Brother Li again, he would be the Vice Alliance Leader who was famous throughout the star field, wielding immortal artifacts and commanding a large number of fierce generals."

The speaker was Fu Chao. He still had that proud look, but his eyes now held a calmness honed by the trials of war, and his cultivation had reached the second level of the Golden Core realm.

He is now a squad leader in the "Xuanwu Army".

In previous years, Li Yunjing had wanted to use his power to recall Fu Chao and simply protect the sect.

However, Fu Chao rejected this decision.

He knew perfectly well what this meant!
However, after years of experience, Fu Chao is no longer the spoiled brat he once was, but a qualified commander of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" guardian army!
For the glory of the Fu family, to protect the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", and for "Tianlan Star", Fu Chao chose to fight and stand with the "Guardian Army".

"Brother Fu, you flatter me. It's just that the times create heroes."

Li Yunjing shook his head and chuckled softly, his gaze complex, as he personally poured tea for everyone.

His gaze swept over every face present, a warm current surging in his heart, yet also a touch of indescribable heaviness.

Fang Long and his nephew Fang Yuxuan sat side by side.

Fang Long's temperament became increasingly composed, and his sword intent was restrained. He was already a sword cultivator at the fourth level of the Golden Core realm and held an important position in the "White Tiger Army".

Fang Yuxuan, on the other hand, was less carefree and more resolute. His cultivation had reached the first level of the Golden Core realm, and he was responsible for some of the auxiliary work of the Array Pavilion.

"Supreme Master!"

Fang Long picked up his teacup, his tone filled with emotion, "Do you still remember when we met in 'Crimson Sun Valley'? Who would have thought that one day we would be standing shoulder to shoulder with all races on this starry frontier, fighting against such a calamity?"

"Yes!"

Fang Yuxuan continued, his eyes somewhat dazed, "Back then, I thought Foundation Establishment was an extraordinary goal, and Golden Core was even more unattainable... Now, Nascent Soul cultivators are just the backbone of the battlefield, and... they might even perish at any time."

His voice trailed off at the end of his sentence.

The atmosphere was slightly stagnant.

"Pah! Pah! Pah! Fang Mutou, can't you speak properly?!"

A clear, crisp female voice rang out, tinged with a hint of coquettishness, breaking the silence.

It was Lü Ruoxi. She was still as beautiful and charming as ever, dressed in purple, and her cultivation had reached the fourth level of the Golden Core realm.

"With a major battle imminent, why are you saying such unlucky things!"

Lu Ruoxi continued, "We must all live well and watch our husbands lead us to defeat the demons!"

Sitting next to Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi glanced tenderly at Lü Ruoxi and gently took Li Yunjing's hand.

With her gentle and graceful demeanor, and thanks to Li Yunjing's generous support, her cultivation level steadily improved to the fourth level of the Golden Core realm. She was mainly responsible for rear coordination and some intelligence analysis.

She didn't say much, but the tightly clasped hands conveyed silent support and concern.

On the other side, Zhao Qi remained aloof and elegant, like a rare orchid in a secluded valley.

Her cultivation progressed extremely quickly, eventually surpassing others and reaching the fifth level of the Golden Core realm, where she was responsible for logistical support.

She simply sipped her tea quietly, her occasional glances at Li Yunjing carrying a complex and unfathomable emotion.

"Haha, you're right!"

A bold voice rang out; it was Yu Yuanhua, a man of imposing stature and a hint of menace.

This is an elder of the "Hall of Enforcement" and the first supporter to side with Li Yunjing.

After many years, Yu Yuanhua has reached the peak of the Golden Core realm. If he can survive the great battle, he will have a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Xu Wuyi sat a little further away, his aura ethereal, as if he had merged with the surrounding environment.

"Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven."

He said calmly, "Since I have chosen this path, dying on the battlefield is my destiny. I only ask to die a worthy death, and not betray the sword in my hand."

"At this point, there's no turning back; it's all the same everywhere!"

Li Cangqiong, a Nascent Soul cultivator who had a close relationship with Li Yunjing, was also present.

His aura grew increasingly profound, and after a series of battles, he had already touched the threshold of the fourth level of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Let's give it our all!"

Xu Xun sighed and said slowly.

He still had that refined and scholarly appearance, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He was in charge of a portion of law enforcement authority, specifically targeting things like desertion in the face of battle.

Inside the courtyard, the delicate fragrance of the spiritual tea was gradually replaced by a stronger aroma of wine.

Li Yunjing took out his treasured spirit wine "Millennium Intoxication" from his storage ring and poured a full glass for everyone.

The wine is amber in color and exudes a spiritual aura; just one whiff is enough to soothe the mind and spirit.

"Today, regardless of position, we only reminisce about old times."

Li Yunjing raised his glass, his gaze sweeping over every familiar face. "This glass is a toast to our friendship that began when we were both humble, and to how we've stood side by side ever since!"

"Respectfully yours, acquaintance!"

"Standing shoulder to shoulder in respect!"

Everyone responded enthusiastically. Whether it was the forthright Yu Yuanhua, the aloof Zhao Qi, or the composed Li Cangqiong, they all abandoned their reserve and drank the spirit wine in their cups in one gulp.

The warm current, a blend of spiciness and sweetness, flowed into my stomach, seemingly dispelling the gloom before the great battle.

After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became increasingly lively.

"Old Li, do you still remember that big deal we did together back in the Cangzong Sect... cough cough, that scam we pulled off together?"

Fu Chao slammed his hand on the table, his face flushed from the alcohol, and shouted, "Back then, I could be happy for half a day over some low-grade spirit stones!"

"Looking back now, it feels like a lifetime ago!"

"hey-hey!"

Fang Yuxuan laughed and chimed in, "Senior Brother Fu, I made a fortune of spirit stones from you!"

"Hehe! It's just a little underhanded."

Fu Chao blushed, which drew laughter from everyone.

"Back then, I caused quite a bit of trouble."

Yu Yunyi covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her eyes filled with reminiscence: "Poor He Bao, you beat him so badly..."

"Yeah yeah!"

Lü Ruoxi immediately retorted, "Back then, I thought Lao Fu was really annoying, so stubborn and showy! He corrupted our Senior Brother Li, who knew what would happen later..."

As she spoke, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she secretly glanced at Li Yunjing. She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was self-evident.

Although Zhao Qi did not speak, a faint smile played on her lips, clearly indicating that she was also recalling some past events.

"hey-hey!"

When the topic of setting up gambling dens within the sect was brought up, Li Yunjing gave a dry laugh.

Given his current status, that would indeed be somewhat embarrassing.

Time flies.

Li Cangqiong stroked his beard and said with emotion, "Watching you grow from ignorant teenagers into pillars of the sect, and now shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the world, I feel very gratified."

He looked at Li Yunjing, his eyes full of admiration and expectation.

"Heroes emerge in times of chaos."

Xu Xun nodded and said, "Sect Leader, you did very well. You did not let down the sect's training. I accept my defeat wholeheartedly."

Listening to everyone reminisce about the past, talking about those moments that were sometimes difficult, sometimes passionate, and sometimes heartwarming, Li Yunjing felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and his eyes even became slightly hot.

These memories are his most precious treasures on his journey and one of the driving forces that keep him moving forward.

However, behind the laughter, there is always a lingering shadow.

As the wine flowed freely and people became more animated, Li Yunjing put down his wine glass, his expression turning serious.

"Everyone, jokes aside."

His gaze swept over the crowd again, his voice steady and clear: "The next battle will be far more dangerous than any previous one."

The courtyard fell silent instantly, and everyone put down their wine glasses and looked at Li Yunjing.

"Having suffered repeated setbacks, the demons must be fully prepared for this comeback, and their offensive will only be fiercer and stronger."

Li Yunjing said slowly, "On the battlefield, things change in an instant. Even I dare not say that I can protect everyone."

"Brother Fu, Junior Brother Fang, Yu Xuan, you are in the midst of battle, remember not to be greedy for merit or reckless. Your priority is to protect yourselves and carry out military orders."

He looked at his fellow disciples, Fu Chao, Fang Long, and Fang Yuxuan, whose cultivation levels were slightly lower: "Only by living can we have a future."

He then looked at Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Zhao Qi: "Yunyi, Ruoxi, Qi'er, you should stay in the rear or on the flanks, but you must not let your guard down. The demons are cunning and treacherous, so you must be vigilant at all times."

"You are all pillars of strength, and the battlefield will still need your help."

Finally, he looked at his companions Yu Yuanhua, Xu Wuyi, Li Cangqiong, and Xu Xun: "I hope you can look after each other and advance and retreat together."

His words contained no grand slogans, only the most simple and sincere exhortations and entrustments.

Today, Li Yunjing is no longer able to take care of those around him on the vast and turbulent battlefield.

They have to rely on themselves for everything!

Everyone nodded silently, taking his words to heart.

"Okay, let's not talk about these heavy topics."

Li Yunjing smiled again and raised his glass once more, "It's not easy for us to get together today, let's enjoy ourselves to the fullest!"

"This last cup is not offered to heaven and earth, nor to ghosts and gods, but only to our friendship!"

May this love last forever!

May this love last forever!

The crowd responded in unison, their voices firm, and they drank the remaining wine in their cups in one gulp.

The banquet came to an end.

Everyone rose to say goodbye, exchanging glances that conveyed no further words.

"Old Li, take care!"

Fu Chao patted Li Yunjing's shoulder forcefully: "I'll come back for a drink after I've chopped off a few of those demon bastards' heads!"

Fang Long and Fang Yuxuan bowed respectfully: "Your Excellency, please be careful in all matters!"

Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi gently hugged Li Yunjing, one on each side, their eyes filled with reluctance and worry.

Zhao Qi nodded slightly, her cool gaze seeming to hold a thousand words, but in the end, it all boiled down to two words: "Take care."

Yu Yuanhua laughed heartily: "Don't worry, I'm tough!"

The figure of Xu Wuyi gradually faded away, leaving only a fleeting sentence: "See you on the battlefield."

"The future of the sect... and even the future of this world, rests on your shoulders."

Li Cangqiong and Xu Xun were the last to leave, and as they looked at Li Yunjing, they said, "Go ahead and do it!"

Watching the figures of everyone disappear at the courtyard gate and blend into the distant, noisy yet chilling light and shadow of the fortress, Li Yunjing stood alone for a long time.

In the night sky, the stars seemed to have taken on a blood-red hue.

From the distant starry sky, a faint, unsettling ripple could be heard.

The final tranquility has ended.

He turned around and returned to his cave.

Three hundred puppets stood silently on both sides, their metal shells reflecting a cold luster.

The "Divine Firmament Thunder Seal" floated in the air, with flashes of lightning.

The "Chaos Evolution Order" felt slightly warm in my palm.

Li Yunjing sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to adjust his state, letting all distracting thoughts and emotions settle and transform into the purest killing intent and fighting spirit.

"Woo!!!"

A shrill, long alarm that seemed to pierce the soul suddenly resounded throughout the entire "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals"!
The alarm wasn't from a single source, but rather simultaneously blared from the fortress core, various war zones, and even the space patrol fleet. It instantly drowned out all other noise, piercing the heart of every living being with a chilling sense of crisis! "Enemy attack! High alert!"

"The demons are coming!"

"All personnel, take your battle positions!"

"Activate all formations!"

"All units in position!"

……

After a brief silence, the entire "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" instantly boiled over, as if it had been plunged into boiling oil!

Countless streaks of light shot into the sky from all directions, rushing swiftly to their respective battle positions according to the pre-rehearsed plan.

The warship engines roared, the array masters frantically threw spirit stones into the array's core, and the warriors gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes gazing resolutely into the depths of the starry sky.

Li Yunjing suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them. All distracting thoughts vanished, leaving only a chilling killing intent.

He stood up, stepped out of the cave, and found himself on the highest command and observation platform of the fortress.

The figures of the four Void Returning Great Powers—Sword Master Taixu, Yu Chenzi, Tianzhenzi, and Blood Demon Ancestor—appeared in the air almost simultaneously. Their auras were connected to the defensive array of the entire "Burial Immortal Ancient Realm," like four towering pillars, stabilizing the hearts of those who were somewhat agitated by the alarm.

All eyes were fixed on the demonized universe tens of thousands of miles away.

The passage, which had been slowly rotating and exuding an ominous aura, was now violently twisting and expanding as if boiling!

A jet-black, demonic light erupted from it, illuminating the entire nearby starry sky; the light was filled with an aura of destruction and death.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The footsteps, heavier and more frequent than before, seemed to pound on the hearts of every soldier, echoing from the depths of the passage.

Every footstep caused the starry sky to tremble and the defensive light barrier to ripple violently.

Immediately afterwards, four indescribable, terrifying pressures, like four invisible ancient demonic mountains, crushed out of the passage!

The power of this pressure far surpasses that of the previous Void Demon God!
The mere presence of this aura caused the outermost defensive light screens of the "Burial Immortal Ancient Realm" to crack under the strain. Some Golden Core cultivators with lower cultivation levels even turned pale, coughed up blood, and nearly lost their footing!
"Four cultivators at the Integration Realm!"

Yu Chenzi's expression was extremely solemn, and his voice was hoarse.

Although it was expected, the pressure of facing four beings capable of destroying the world was still unbearable.

The next moment, under the gaze of millions of horrified eyes, four enormous demonic figures, each with a different form but all exuding an aura of world destruction, slowly stepped out of the passage!
The one on the left is a demonic figure shrouded in churning black mist. Only countless tormented and twisted souls can be vaguely seen wailing and annihilating around it. It is the "Soul-Eating Demon God" who is good at eroding the soul!
To its right is a giant that appears to be made of countless black metals and ferocious bone spikes, with bulging muscles and an unparalleled sense of power. This is the "Iron Spine Demon God"!
To the right is a fleshy mass covered with thousands of eerie demonic eyes. As those eyes open and close, they project distorted light, seemingly capable of disrupting time and space and reversing perception. This is the "Thousand-Eyed Illusion Demon"!
And in the very center, where his aura was the weakest, was the Void Demon God!
Behind these four combined demon lords, like a floodgate opened in the Styx River, an even larger, more elite, and more violent demon army roared and howled, surging out of the passage like an endless black tide!

The number of Demon Lords at the Void Returning level has exceeded twenty!
There are thousands of Demon Kings at the God-level!
The number of Nascent Soul level demon generals was overwhelming and countless!

The number of low-level monsters was an astronomical figure that was enough to make one's scalp crawl. The demonic tide they formed seemed to be about to devour the entire starry sky!
This is the power of the "Void Demons" when they get serious!

A terrifying expeditionary force capable of crushing stars and destroying realms!

"For the glory of the Demon Lord!"

"Crush them!"

The Void Demon God raised the white bone scepter in his hand and issued a cold yet powerful mental command that instantly spread throughout the entire demon army.

"kill!!!"

Billions of demons simultaneously unleashed roars that shattered the starry sky. The terrifying sound waves, mixed with overwhelming demonic energy, transformed into tangible shockwaves that struck the defensive system of the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" first!
"Activate the grand formation at full power!"

"withstand!"

The Sword Master of Taixu shouted, and together with the other three Void Returners, he poured his vast magical power into the great formation beneath his feet.

"All celestial bodies, heed my command! Charge!"

Yu Chenzi and Tian Zhenzi worked together to control the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Da Zhen" (Great Array of the Celestial Stars), drawing upon endless stellar power to create the most solid barrier.

The layers upon layers of array light curtains burst forth with unprecedented brilliance, colliding violently with the sonic waves of the demons!
"Boom!!!"

An indescribable roar exploded in the starry sky, as light and demonic energy intertwined and annihilated each other.

The entire "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" was shaking violently, as if it would disintegrate at any moment.

In the first clash, the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" defense system barely held up!

And this is just the beginning!
The four combined demon lords of the demon race have not yet truly made their move.

Li Yunjing took a deep breath to suppress the pounding in his heart.

The "Divine Thunder Seal" appeared above his head, and thousands of bolts of lightning descended to protect his body. Three hundred puppets quietly appeared behind him and formed a battle formation.

The projections of "Falling Treasure Coins" and "Ten Thousand Demon Tower" were hidden in his sleeve, ready to be unleashed.

He gripped the "Chaos Dao Token" tightly.

His gaze swept past the surging demonic tide and locked onto the four beings at the Fusion Realm who resembled demon gods.

"Om..."

Just as the crisis was about to erupt, a completely different yet equally vast and boundless ancient wave, seemingly originating from the beginning of the universe, suddenly burst forth from the depths of the "Burial Immortal Ancient Realm," in the "Meteorite Cliff" area that had always been shrouded in chaotic energy!
This fluctuation was neither the violent stillness of demonic energy nor the serene tranquility of immortality, but a more primal, more chaotic, and seemingly containing the origin of the birth and death of all things and the rotation of stars!

In an instant, a dazzling beam of light, indescribable in color, shot into the sky from the very core of "Meteor Cliff," piercing straight into the Milky Way!
Wherever the beam of light passed, the chaotic demonic energy was forcibly pushed aside and smoothed out, and the distorted laws of the starry sky seemed to be straightened by an invisible hand, temporarily restoring a brief period of order and stability.

The pillar of light itself seemed to be composed of countless tiny, ever-changing runes and stardust, radiating a vast aura that even made a Demon Lord in the Integration Realm take notice!

The pillar of light did not directly attack the demons, but stood like a pillar of strength between the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" and the demon army. Its magnificent divine power was like the clearest warning!
This place is not to be trifled with!
This sudden change brought the entire battlefield to a standstill!
The surging tide of demons seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall, its speed suddenly slowing down, and countless low-level demons let out terrified howls.

Even the twenty-odd Void Returning Demon Lords showed expressions of surprise and uncertainty, and their attacks slowed down.

The four combined demon lords, who were at the forefront, focused their gazes and turned towards the direction of "Meteor Cliff"!

"Is this... a manifestation of the fundamental will of the world?"

"No...is it some kind of ancient guardian?"

The black mist surrounding the Soul-Eating Demon God surged violently, conveying a solemn intent.

He could sense that the power contained in that pillar of light was of an extremely high level, even posing a slight threat to his soul.

"So ancient... such a powerful aura!"

"This 'Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals' truly holds a great secret!"

The Iron Spine Demon leaned forward slightly, its metallic muscles taut, full of vigilance.

The beam of light made him feel a kind of suppression originating from the level of life itself.

"Unable to analyze... its form of existence is beyond the realm of ordinary understanding!"

The Thousand-Eyed Illusion Demon's thousands upon thousands of demonic eyes flashed simultaneously, attempting to decipher the mysteries of the pillar of light, but they only felt a chaotic void, as if they were peering into the universe itself. Instead, some of the demonic eyes felt a stinging pain and bled.

"It seems that the defeat in the Void last time was not entirely due to those immortal artifacts and the newly promoted Void Returners."

The Soul-Eating Demon God said coldly, "This thing... is the biggest variable."

"what is this?"

The Void Demon God was both shocked and furious. Although He knew that "Meteor Cliff" was unusual when He was defeated last time, He never expected that the sleeping being inside could unleash such power!
The light reminded him of some extremely unpleasant fragments of ancient memories stemming from his bloodline.

On the side of the "Burial Immortal Ancient Realm", all the guards were stunned at first, and then burst into a deafening cheer!

"It's 'Meteor Cliff'!"

"The ancient beings there have awakened!"

"It's helping us!"

"It's warning the demons!"

"May God bless my Tianlan!"

The Sword Master of Taixu, Yu Chenzi, and others were also greatly encouraged.

They have been trying to communicate with Meteor Cliff but to no avail!

Unexpectedly, at this most critical moment, it took the initiative to show its power. Although it did not directly participate in the battle, this warning beam of light undoubtedly greatly relieved their pressure and may even have disrupted the demon race's offensive rhythm!

"This might not be a good thing; that unknown entity sensed danger!"

Li Yunjing loosened his grip on the "Chaos Evolution Token" slightly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Humph!"

The Thousand-Eyed Illusion Demon let out a cold snort, breaking the brief stalemate. "Playing tricks! It's nothing more than a remnant will or an ancient guardian spirit! If it truly possessed the power to crush us, it would have already made its move. Why would it need a warning?"

His words were like a cold wind, dispelling some of the fear in the hearts of the demons.

"Gather our forces and test the waters first!"

"The Soul-Eating Demon God suggested."

The next moment, the four combined demon lords simultaneously mobilized a portion of their demonic energy, converging it into an incomparably condensed jet-black demonic spear. It tore through the void, carrying a terrifying power that could corrode all things and destroy divine souls, and hurled it fiercely towards that dazzling pillar of light!

This is a combined attack from beings at the Integration Realm, powerful enough to instantly pierce through a large star!

However, faced with this terrifying attack, the towering pillar of light only swayed slightly, and its surface rippled with chaotic waves.

The demonic spear crashed into the pillar of light, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea, failing to even stir up a ripple. It was silently swallowed, decomposed, and annihilated by the chaotic light, as if it had never existed!
"what?!"

This time, the four combined demon lords were truly visibly shaken!
Their combined attack, though not at full strength, was by no means weak, yet it was so easily neutralized.
The power contained in that pillar of light far exceeded their expectations!

The being deep within "Meteor Cliff" responded to the Demon Lord's provocation in the most direct way!

The pillar of light remained dazzling, its majestic divine power enveloping the starry sky, like an ancient giant who had been sleeping for ages, slightly opening its eyes and coldly watching the ants who dared to provoke it.

The demons' offensive was abruptly halted by this unexpected turn of events.

The battlefield fell into a strange stalemate.

The demon army dared not advance easily any further. The four combined demon lords' eyes flickered, clearly reassessing the situation and weighing the pros and cons.

The defenders of the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" seized this precious respite to frantically repair the formations damaged by the earlier attack and adjust their deployment.

All eyes were focused on the chaotic pillar of light that connected heaven and earth, and on the mysterious "Meteorite Cliff" at the source of the pillar.

After a brief silence and standoff, the four combined demon lords had clearly reached some kind of consensus.

They looked at each other, and the last trace of hesitation in their eyes was replaced by a cold resolve.

"The potential of this realm exceeds our expectations; we cannot delay any longer."

The Soul-Eating Demon God's mental fluctuations carried a chilling aura. "Use the 'Ten Thousand Demons Devouring Realm Banner' and finish this quickly to avoid further complications."

"Do it!"

The Void Demon God was concise and to the point, being the first to agree.

"Give it a try!"

The Iron-Spine Demon God and the Thousand-Eyed Illusion Demon had no objection.

The four demon lords simultaneously slashed their fingertips.

That was not blood, but a dark golden liquid that condensed their primordial magical energy.

Four drops of dark gold demonic blood flew into the void, intertwined and merged, eventually transforming into a twisted, howling, eerie rune.

Meanwhile, deep within the other side of the dimensional passage, a terrifying will, even more ancient and profound than the merged demon lord, seemingly originating from the source of all demons, appeared to be stirred.

"Om..."

A buzzing sound, seemingly emanating from the deepest depths of the Netherworld, pierced through the dimensional passage and resounded deep within the souls of every living being on the star battlefield!

The buzzing sound contained endless resentment, destruction, and madness; merely hearing it made one's Dao heart waver and one's soul feel like it was about to break.

Immediately afterwards, a huge, tattered demon banner, seemingly sewn together from countless tormented and twisted demon skins, slowly emerged from the passage!
This demon banner was only about ten feet long, with torn edges and a dull color, as if it had been eroded by countless years.

However, it is decorated with some incomprehensible dark red patterns, depicting a terrifying scene of all demons worshipping and the universe returning to nothingness.

The moment it appeared, all the demonic energy in the starry sky seemed to find its backbone, frantically converging towards it, even dimming the demonic energy surrounding the four combined demon lords.

All demons corrode the world flag!

This is a terrifying demonic weapon forged by the "Void Demon Clan" after they conquered all the heavens and destroyed countless worlds. Its status is comparable to that of a celestial artifact!

In some ways, it is even more bizarre and difficult to defend against due to its pure destructive and corrosive characteristics!
"In our name, we summon the might of the ancestral demons to corrode the realm and annihilate spirits!"

The four combined demon lords chanted an ancient and blasphemous incantation in unison, their immense demonic energy pouring into the seemingly tattered "Ten Thousand Demons Eroding the Realm Banner" like a burst dam.

"boom!!!"

The Demon Banner suddenly erupted with an extreme darkness that devoured all light!

The banner moved without wind, and the demons depicted on it seemed to come alive, emitting silent roars.

Twisted, filthy, and decadent dark red ripples, centered on the Demon Banner, spread out like ripples on the surface of water toward the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" and the chaotic pillar of light that stood in front of it!

Wherever these ripples passed, space was no longer shattered, but directly "melted" and annihilated, turning into the most primordial nothingness!
It devours and corrodes star fragments, dissipated demonic energy, and even light!

This is a terrifying erosion targeting the world itself and the very foundation of all existence!

"Oh no! It's a Demonic Artifact!"

The Taixu Sword Master's expression changed drastically. He could feel that the destructive power contained in the dark red ripples far exceeded any previous attack, and even made him, a Void Returning Sword Cultivator, feel a fatal threat!
"Activate the immortal artifact at full power! Stop it!"

Yu Chenzi roared angrily, and together with Tian Zhenzi, they frantically activated the "Zhou Tian Star Array" in an attempt to build a defensive line with the power of the stars.

Li Yunjing was also deeply shaken. Without hesitation, he poured his magic power into the "Divine Firmament Thunder Seal," summoning the blazing heavenly thunder. At the same time, he summoned the "Falling Treasure Immortal Coin" and the projection of the "Ten Thousand Demon Tower" in an attempt to interfere with and weaken the power of the ancestral demon artifact.

The "Nine Dragons Emperor Seal" of Fairy Miaodan, the "God-Slaying Chariot" of Blood Demon Ancestor, the "Thought-Slaying Jade Sword" of Yu Chenzi, and the "Taixu Divine Sword" of Taixu Sword Master all simultaneously unleashed their strongest immortal light!
The seven immortal artifacts, radiant and resounding with the laws of nature, converged into a colorful torrent, crashing fiercely into the spreading dark red corrosive ripples!
"Hiss... hiss..."

However, a chilling sound rang out.

The moment the torrent of seven-colored fairy light came into contact with the dark red ripples, it quickly dimmed and melted, just like ice and snow under the scorching sun!
The power of law emitted by the immortal artifact was gradually disintegrated and eroded by the power of the world-corroding force, which contained the resentment and decay of all realms!

The projection of the "Ten Thousand Demon Tower" trembled violently, almost collapsing; the "Falling Treasure Immortal Coin" flashed with light, but could not brush away the invisible and intangible corrosive ripples; the pure yang lightning of the "Divine Firmament Thunder Seal" struck the ripples, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea...

Even with the seven immortal artifacts working together, they could only barely slow down the advance of the dark red ripples; they were completely unable to defeat them!
Even the radiance of the immortal artifact itself began to dim, clearly indicating that it had been eroded!

"How can it be?!"

A human god-level True Monarch exclaimed in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

Immortal artifacts are symbols of the highest power in this world. Now, even with seven of them deployed, they cannot withstand a single demonic weapon from the opponent.
"The power level activated by the demon lords is too high!"

Tian Zhenzi's face was pale, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. "The four of them combined their strength and almost unleashed 80% of the power of this Ancestral Demon Artifact! It far exceeds the limits that we could achieve by individually activating the Immortal Artifact!"

This is the absolute difference brought about by the sheer number of top-tier combatants!

The combined power of the four Demon Lords activating the Ancestral Demon Artifact was far beyond what the four newly promoted Void Returners and Li Yunjing, the Nascent Soul cultivator, from the "Tianlan Alliance" could achieve!

The dark red erosion ripples, though slightly slowed, still resolutely spread toward the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" and the pillar of chaos, leaving nothing but ruins in their wake!

The first thing to be hit was the chaotic pillar of light emanating from the depths of "Meteor Cliff"!

"Boom!"

The pillar of chaotic light seemed to sense an unprecedented threat, and its light suddenly became even more intense. The chaotic runes on its surface swirled wildly, trying to resist the dark red ripples that were eroding everything.

Two completely different, yet equally vast, forces collided violently!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a more chilling hissing sound, as if the very foundations of the world were being eroded.

The pillar of chaotic light trembled violently, its radiance dimming at a visible speed, and the runes on its surface continuously crumbling and annihilating!
The advance of the dark red ripples was also greatly slowed down, and some areas were even neutralized by the chaotic energy. However, it was clear that even the ancient beings deep in the "Meteor Cliff" were at a disadvantage in the face of the ancestral demon artifacts activated by the four combined demon lords!

"Hold on!"

The Sword Master of Taixu, his eyes blazing with fury, disregarded his own losses and poured even more sword energy into the immortal sword.

Everyone understood that once the pillar of chaos was completely eroded, the next target would be the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" itself!
Under those erosion ripples, the entire "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" could be "erased" from the universe!
An atmosphere of despair began to spread in the hearts of all the defenders.

Li Yunjing stared intently at the approaching dark red death ripples, then glanced at the "Chaos Evolution Token" in his hand, which was trembling slightly and seemed to resonate with the pillar of chaos light. A crazy thought flashed through his mind.

"This token should be discarded!"

Thinking of this, Li Yunjing shouted, "Unknown existence, this 'Chaos Evolution Token' can only be effective in your hands!"

As he spoke, he suddenly threw it towards the direction of "Meteor Cliff"!
