Chapter 831 A Mysterious Being Emerges, the Ancient Burial Realm Collapses

Chapter 831 A Mysterious Being Emerges, the Ancient Burial Realm Collapses (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Li Yunjing's resolute cry was like a stone thrown into a still lake, breaking the suffocating silence.

He used all his strength to hurl the "Chaos Dao Token" toward the core of "Meteor Cliff"!

The token transformed into a stream of chaotic light, ignoring the distance in space, and instantly disappeared into the depths of that surging chaotic aura.

Time seems to freeze at this moment.

"Boom!!!"

Immediately afterwards, a heartbeat, far heavier and more ancient than the footsteps of the demons, seemingly originating from the very beginning of creation, suddenly came from the deepest part of "Meteor Cliff"!

This time, it was no longer a vague sensation, but a real and unmistakable roar that shook the entire starry sky!
Every living being that heard this heartbeat, whether human, demon, sea creature, barbarian, or monster, felt as if their heart was being gripped by an invisible hand, beating along with it, and trembling along with it!
“Crack…Crack…”

A sickening cracking sound rang out from the "Meteor Cliff" area.

The dense chaotic energy that had shrouded the area for countless millennia cracked inch by inch like an eggshell, and then exploded with a deafening roar!

Endless chaotic divine light burst forth from the crack, instantly dispelling all the demonic energy and darkness in the vicinity!
That light was not pure light, but contained the ultimate chaotic color of life and death, creation and end, order and chaos!
Under the gaze of millions of horrified eyes, an indescribably enormous hand slowly emerged from the depths of the shattered "Meteor Cliff"!
That palm was neither flesh and blood nor energy, but was woven together by countless flowing chaotic runes, the phantoms of stars that came and went, and the most primordial chains of laws!

Its size is so great that it seems to be able to hold the stars in one hand!
Its antiquity seems to transcend countless ages!
Its majesty was so overwhelming that even the combined demon lord felt suffocated by it!

This giant chaotic hand simply extended forward, seemingly slowly, yet it instantly traversed endless space and appeared before the chaotic pillar of light that was about to dissipate. Then... its five fingers slightly clenched, gently grasping the "Chaos Evolution Token" that was flying towards it!
"Boom!!!"

The moment the "Chaos Dao Token" touched the giant hand, it burst forth with unprecedented light, as if a wanderer had returned home, and it perfectly merged with the chaotic giant hand!
The next moment, the Chaos Giant held the token and seemingly casually flicked it at the surging dark red corrosive ripples.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no violent collision of laws.

Just like wiping away dust, the terrifying corrosive ripples that had rendered the seven immortal artifacts helpless and caused the pillar of chaos to retreat in defeat vanished silently, like snow under the sun, upon touching the path traced by the giant hand of chaos.

It wasn't that it was defeated, nor that it was neutralized, but rather that it was as if it were directly... erased from the very concept of "existence"!
"how is this possible?"

The four combined demon lords' pupils shrank, and for the first time, their faces showed disbelief and even a hint of fear!

They could clearly sense that it was not a crushing defeat on the level of power, but rather an absolute difference in... status!
The master of that chaotic giant hand seems to exist on a level completely beyond the realm of their understanding!

However, this is just the beginning!
After erasing the ripples of the eroded realm, the chaotic giant hand did not retract. Instead, it moved forward and seemingly lightly pressed down on the "Ten Thousand Demons Eroding Realm Banner" in the void, which was frantically absorbing demonic energy and emitting ominous fluctuations.

"No!"

The Soul-Eating Demon God let out a terrified mental scream, and together with the other three Demon Lords, desperately urged the Demon Banner to try to resist.

But all is in vain.

The giant hand of chaos pressed down on the demon banner.

"puff……"

A soft sound, like a bubble bursting.

The ancestral demon artifact "Ten Thousand Demons Eroding the World Banner," which embodied the resentment of countless demons and destroyed countless worlds, couldn't even struggle. Under the chaotic giant palm, it shattered inch by inch like a dream bubble, eventually turning into wisps of pure chaotic energy that were absorbed by the giant palm.

The Ancestral Demon Artifact... has been destroyed!

The four combined demon lords were struck as if by lightning, and they all spat out a mouthful of dark golden demon blood, their auras instantly weakening by more than half!

The Ancestral Demon Artifact was connected to their minds and souls; when it was destroyed, they suffered an unprecedented devastation!
This seemingly casual press and flick seemed to have consumed a considerable amount of the Chaos Giant Palm's power, causing its light to dim slightly.

The giant hand slowly retracted and disappeared back into the shattered chaos of "Meteor Cliff".

But the impact He brought is only just beginning to unfold!
Just as the chaotic giant hand retracted, an indescribable sense of rejection and rage, originating from the very source of the world, erupted with a deafening roar, as if a primordial beast that had slumbered for countless years had been utterly enraged! Centered on the "Meteor Cliff"!
"Boom!!!"

The entire "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" began an unprecedented cataclysmic collapse!

The earth cracked open like fragile glass, and countless bottomless ravines instantly formed, swallowing up all the buildings, formations, and living beings on it!

The defensive light barrier in the sky shattered like a broken mirror, turning into a shower of light!

The stars trembled, the laws of nature raged, and large sections of space collapsed, forming countless terrifying black holes and spatial storms!
This is not an attack, but the "death" of the world itself!
It was the ancient battlefield of "Burial Immortal Ancient Realm" that, after enduring too much power beyond its limits, was completely triggered by the emergence of that chaotic being, which caused its dormant source of destruction to be completely destroyed and led it to its final demise!

"The world...is collapsing!"

"Run!"

"retreat!"

"The whole army retreats!"

The Sword Master of Taixu roared hoarsely, and together with the other three Void Returning experts, they desperately created a relatively stable area to cover the survivors as they retreated towards the teleportation array leading to "Tianlan Star".

The demon army was thrown into extreme chaos. The terrifying sight of the world collapsing even temporarily overshadowed the fear of that chaotic existence. The remaining demon lords and demon kings retreated in panic towards the dimensional passage.

After Li Yunjing threw out the "Chaos Evolution Order", he was sent back to the core of the fortress by a gentle but irresistible force.

He gazed at the apocalyptic scene before him, where the sky had collapsed, the earth had split apart, and all things had been reduced to nothingness, and his heart was filled with shock.

"go!"

The voice of the Sword Master of Taixu was resolute and unwavering.

He pointed his fingers like a sword, and a dazzling sword light that traversed the heavens and earth cleaved through the falling mountains and shattered spatial fragments, forcefully carving out a temporary passage in the torrent of destruction, pointing directly at the largest, most intensely bright, ultra-long-range teleportation array.

"All units, abandon all non-essential supplies and retreat at full speed!"

"Proceed according to the predetermined sequence!"

Yu Chenzi's voice resounded through every corner of the formation, carrying an unprecedented urgency.

The last rays of the "Zhou Tian Star Array" transformed into a thin starlight shield, barely covering the core area of ​​the teleportation array and resisting the spatial tearing and law storms from all directions.

But this protective shield is becoming dim and thinner at a visible rate.

"Boom!"

A massive fragment of a star, comparable in size to a mountain range, crashed onto the protective shield, creating ripples that shook the entire core area of ​​the fortress. Countless cultivators with lower cultivation levels lost their footing and fell to the ground.

"Hurry up!"

The generals of the Golden Armored Imperial Guard roared, commanding their soldiers to form a battle formation, using their flesh and blood to hold the outermost edge, buying precious time for the retreat.

Their golden armor still shone brightly amidst the shattering light, like the last monument in the apocalypse.

"Hanhai Army, turning the sea into a bridge!"

The Dragon Prince manifested part of his dragon body, stirring up towering waves that temporarily froze the shattered space, forming a temporary passage made of ice and seawater to guide the scattered troops.

"Ten Thousand Demons Battle Formation, Sky-Supporting!"

Several old demon saints revealed their mountain-like forms: the giant ape pounded its chest and roared, and the divine tortoise, bearing black armor on its back, forcefully held back a corner of the collapsing sky.

"May the allied forces of a hundred tribes be blessed by the shamans!"

The barbarian high priests performed ancient war dances and sang desolate war songs. The power of totems transformed into a hazy halo, enveloping the areas, soothing the panicked souls, and boosting morale.

Amidst this apocalyptic scene, the allied forces of all races demonstrated astonishing resilience and cooperation.

No one cared about racial differences or sectarian differences anymore. At this moment, their only thought was to survive and retreat to "Tianlan Star"!
Three hundred puppets formed the "Dutian Guardian Array" around Li Yunjing, with lightning and puppet runes intertwining to firmly protect him and the surrounding area.

His gaze swept across the chaotic battlefield, and he saw Fu Chao, Fang Long, and others in their respective teams, rushing towards the teleportation array.

Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Zhao Qi also made their way forward with difficulty, under the protection of several Nascent Soul cultivators.

He felt somewhat relieved, but dared not relax in the slightest.

"Vice Alliance Leader Li! Run! This place is about to completely collapse!"

An elder from the Array Pavilion, covered in blood, rushed to Li Yunjing's side and shouted.

Li Yunjing nodded, taking one last look in the direction of "Meteor Cliff".

The chaotic aura there was slowly receding, and the giant hand that had been glimpsed so briefly had long since vanished, as if it had never existed.

But the collapse of the entire "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals" is the best proof that it ever existed.

"let's go!"

Without further hesitation, he harnessed the puppet array, transforming into a streak of light as he rushed towards the teleportation array.

At this moment, the teleportation array was already operating beyond its capacity. Its dazzling light was like the sun, and each flash meant that tens of thousands of cultivators were being sent away.

However, compared to the large number of garrison troops within the fortress, this speed still seemed too slow.

Moreover, the crumbling world is rapidly devouring everything.

Spatial rifts spread like black lightning, constantly engulfing cultivators or striking them with falling rocks or the aftershocks of collapsing formations, turning them into dust.

Screams, explosions, and the deafening roar of the world collapsing intertwine to create a tragic elegy for the end of the world.

"Hold the formation! Don't panic!"

"Let the wounded go first!"

"Enforcement team, maintain order!"

Anyone who dares to attack the teleportation array will be killed without exception!

Generals and elders at all levels shouted themselves hoarse, trying their best to maintain the last vestiges of order.

The four Void Returning Great Powers—Sword Master Taixu, Yu Chenzi, Blood Demon Ancestor, and Tianzhenzi—stood like four true pillars supporting the sky, each using their extraordinary abilities to forcibly stabilize the increasingly unstable space around the teleportation array.

The Sword Master of Taixu transformed himself into a sword, severing the spreading spatial rifts; Yu Chenzi and Tian Zhenzi burned their divine souls, overdrawing the last potential of the "Zhou Tian Star Array" to stabilize the earth, water, fire, and wind; the Blood Demon Ancestor's sea of ​​blood churned, devouring the violent energy turbulence.

Blood was seeping from the corners of their mouths, and their breathing was erratic, clearly indicating that they had reached their limits.

It was their desperate resistance that preserved a glimmer of hope for these hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

The demons were in a similarly dire situation.

The collapse of the world is an indiscriminate attack.

The remaining demon army, having lost the effective command of the Demon Lord, became even more chaotic, and was torn apart in large swathes by the spatial storm and swallowed by the collapsing void.

The four severely injured combined demon lords, no longer caring about their armies, each used their life-saving techniques, transforming into four mournful beams of demonic light, and rushed towards the dimensional passage without looking back.

As for the lower-level monsters, they were ruthlessly abandoned and perished amidst their desperate howls.

"Quick! Faster!"

Li Yunjing had already rushed to the edge of the teleportation array. Looking at his compatriots who were surging towards him like a tide, their faces filled with fear and a desire to survive, he was extremely anxious.

He gritted his teeth and manipulated the three hundred puppets to disperse, forming a wider defensive circle. At the same time, he unleashed the "Divine Firmament Thunder Seal," drawing forth countless bolts of lightning to bombard the energy tide sweeping in from the side.

"Senior Brother Li!"

"Headmaster!"

Fu Chao, Fang Long, Yu Yunyi, and others finally rushed forward.

"Get in quickly!"

Before Li Yunjing could say anything, he used his magic to send them, along with a group of nearby cultivators, into the light of the teleportation array.

Right now!

"Crack!"

A sharp, heart-stopping crack rang out!

One of the massive runic stone pillars supporting the core of the teleportation array finally succumbed to the pressure and broke in two after enduring multiple destructive impacts.
The light of the entire teleportation array dimmed by more than half in an instant, and its operation suddenly stopped!
The tens of thousands of cultivators who were still outside the formation and unable to enter instantly lost their color in their faces, and despair overwhelmed them like a cold tide.

"No!"

Yu Chenzi's eyes were bloodshot as he spat out a mouthful of his heart's essence blood, which he sprinkled onto the array plate in an attempt to forcibly reconnect the two arrays.

The Sword Master of Taixu even merged with his sword, temporarily replacing the broken rune pillar with his supreme sword intent!
"Om..."

The teleportation array's light flickered back on with difficulty, but everyone knew that it was at its last gasp and wouldn't last much longer.

"go!"

With a roar, the Blood Demon Ancestor unleashed a sudden surge of blood, forcefully pushing tens of thousands of cultivators who had failed to enter the teleportation array, along with a large number of demonic remains and shattered resources, into the light.

This is the last chance!

Seeing this, Li Yunjing no longer held back. The three hundred puppets exploded simultaneously, transforming into a torrent of pure energy that temporarily stabilized another area that was about to collapse, buying the last batch of cultivators a moment of time.

He transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged into the teleportation array just before its light was about to completely fade.

In the last moment before his consciousness was swallowed by the distorted sensation of spatial teleportation, he looked back.

What we saw were the four people: the Sword Master of Taixu, Yu Chenzi, Tianzhenzi, and the Blood Demon Ancestor. Finally, they rushed into the teleportation array!

Outside the teleportation array, amidst endless destructive light, it gradually blurred, and finally... was completely swallowed up by endless darkness and chaos.

……

"Om..."

The familiar spiritual energy of heaven and earth, accompanied by a strong stench of blood and a suppressed grief, surged into my senses.

Li Yunjing stumbled and appeared on the largest inter-star domain teleportation plaza in the underground rift of the "Crossing Mountains" on "Tianlan Star".

Behind him, light flashed continuously, and one after another, ragged, wounded, and dazed cultivators were thrown out like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

The air was filled with the relief of surviving a disaster, but even more so with a heavy sense of loss and bewilderment at the loss of their homes and the lack of any way to retreat.

This retreat came at a heavy cost.

To cover the main force, at least 100,000 cultivators remained forever in that shattered starry sky, turning into cosmic dust along with the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals".

These 100,000 people came from various ethnic groups and factions, and almost every force suffered excruciating pain.

Fortunately, the main force of the allied forces remained intact. Although the four Void Returning experts were weak and wounded, they managed to withdraw successfully at the last moment, thus preserving their high-end combat power.

This is undoubtedly a blessing in disguise.

"Quickly treat the wounded!"

"Take a headcount!"

"All sects and factions, assemble and rest in the designated areas!"

"Formation Master, immediately inspect and reinforce the defenses here!"

Emperor Huangze's calm and powerful voice rang out immediately, like a stabilizing force, dispelling some of the panic.

The logistics personnel, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately swarmed forward. Stretchers, pills, and the light of healing spells quickly appeared, and they began to receive and settle these soldiers who had returned from hell in an orderly manner.

"call……"

Li Yunjing took a deep breath, suppressing the churning blood and energy within him and the exhaustion in his soul.

He looked around and saw the Taixu Sword Master and others, who were equally disheveled but whose eyes burned with an indomitable flame, as well as Fu Chao, Yu Yunyi and others who were helping each other and searching for their fellow disciples.

It's safe for now.

"Vice Alliance Leader Li, the Emperor has ordered you to proceed immediately to the 'Universe Palace' to attend the Supreme Meeting."

A Nascent Soul cultivator dressed in the robes of a royal eunuch approached Li Yunjing and spoke respectfully.

Li Yunjing nodded, without lingering, and transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the "Universe Palace" located deep within the mountains.

Since the ancient teleportation array was discovered in the "Crossing Mountains", this place has become the second most important stronghold of the "Tianlan Alliance".

The Shenxiao Dao Sect was also forced to open up many areas for the allied forces to station.

The "Huanyu Palace" is the highest institution of the "Tianlan Alliance" stationed in the "Hengyue Mountain Range".

……

Inside the "Hall of the Universe," the atmosphere was so heavy it was almost palpable.

Emperor Huangze sat solemnly in the main seat.

To his left and right sat four Void Returning Great Powers whose auras had not yet fully subsided: Taixu Sword Master, Yu Chenzi, Tianzhenzi, and Blood Demon Ancestor.

However, the participants in this conference were far more than just them.

On the left, three more imposing figures have appeared!

One was an elderly dragon with crystalline dragon horns on his head and wearing a deep blue imperial robe. He was the ruler of the four seas, the "Dragon King of the Vast Sea," and his aura was profound, clearly indicating that he was also at the Void Returning Realm.

One is the "Golden-Winged Roc Saint," whose body is as tall as a mountain and whose demonic aura is soaring yet carries an ancient and barbaric air, representing the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.

One of them was a barbarian elder, clad in animal skins, his face painted with strange paint, and holding a white bone scepter. He came from the Hundred Tribes of the Southern Wilderness.

On the right are several core deputy leaders of the human race, led by Li Yunjing.

Five important figures who remained in their homeland also appeared: Qingwei Zhenjun of Yuxu Cave Heaven, Jingxu Zhenjun of Biyou Cave Heaven, Dabei Chanzun of Jiaye Baoguang Temple, Ao Guang, the Third Prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace, and Panwang, the leader of the Southern Wilderness Hundred Barbarian Sect.

In addition to these people, there were also powerful figures such as Ye Wuyai, the sect leader of the "Heavenly Demon Sect", Fairy Miaodan, Bingfeng of the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals", and Duobao Zhenjun of the "Treasure Gathering Pavilion".

A total of eighteen people!
These eighteen people represent the highest decision-making body of all intelligent races on the entire "Tianlan Star," and they decide the future fate of this world.

"As you all know, the situation is as described."

Emperor Huangze spoke first, his deep and powerful voice breaking the silence in the hall.

"The 'Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals' has collapsed, and the front-line barrier has been lost."

"Although the Demon Clan also suffered heavy losses, with one Ancestral Demon Artifact destroyed and four Combined Demon Lords injured, their foundation remained intact, and the threat from the 'Crimson Flame Realm' and even deeper Demon Realms still exists." "According to the spatial fluctuation monitoring at the last moment, that dimensional passage was not completely closed; on the contrary... it showed a trend of steadily expanding."

With each word he spoke, the expressions on the faces of everyone in the hall grew more somber.

"This means that we have lost all our strategic depth."

"The next demonic tide will descend directly upon the homeland of 'Tianlan Star'."

Emperor Huangze's gaze swept over everyone present. "In the future, this land beneath our feet will become the final battleground. Victory means survival; defeat means extinction and this world will be reduced to scorched earth."

The stark reality left everyone feeling breathless.

"Your Majesty, the only course of action now is to rely on the Tianlan Star as our home planet to build a final line of defense and fight to the death!"

The voice of the Sword Master of Taixu was hoarse, yet it carried an unwavering sword intent.

Although he was injured, his momentum was even stronger than before after breaking through to the Void Returning Realm.

"good."

Yu Chenzi interjected, his face pale but his eyes sharp, "I suggest that we immediately launch the 'Star Barrier Project,' using the major sects and mountain gates, imperial dragon vein nodes, demon ancestral lands, and barbarian totem sacred mountains as the core to build an interconnected defense network, transforming the entire 'Tianlan Star' into a massive war fortress!"

"Our sea race is willing to devote all the resources of the four seas to construct the 'Nine Abyss Heavy Water Array' to protect the continental coast for 100,000 miles!"

The Dragon King of the Vast Ocean, with a voice as loud as a bell, made his promise.

"The Ten Thousand Demon Mountains can produce tens of millions of demon soldiers, and with the ancestral land as the core, they can set up the 'Eternal Demon God Array'!"

The Golden-Winged Roc's voice was resounding.

"The hundred tribes of the Southern Wilderness will use their flesh and blood and totems to build an 'immortal monument' to protect the South!"

The barbarian elder spoke succinctly, yet with an undeniable determination.

"Although our various sects of the demonic path follow different paths, this world is also our foundation."

Ye Wuyai also said in a deep voice, "'Heavenly Demon Sect' is willing to take the lead in setting up the 'Nine Netherworlds and Ten Lands Demon-Slaying Formation' to use demons to subdue demons!"

Leaders from all sides have expressed their views, demonstrating unprecedented unity.

Faced with life and death, past disagreements and misunderstandings were temporarily set aside.

"With everyone working together, this is a great fortune for our 'Tianlan'."

Emperor Huangze nodded slightly, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a deeper solemnity: "However, the Demon Clan is powerful, especially those four merged Demon Lords. Although they are injured, once they recover, they will still be a major threat."

"Our high-end combat capabilities are still at an absolute disadvantage."

He looked at Li Yunjing: "Fellow Daoist Li, you seem to have a connection with the being deep within the 'Meteor Cliff,' and it was this being who intervened at the last moment to turn the tide."

"Do you know its origins?"

"Could we ask for their help again?"

All eyes immediately focused on Li Yunjing.

"Your Majesty, esteemed seniors."

“The ‘Chaos Evolution Token’ was bestowed by the Emperor. I do not know its true origin. In my haste, I felt that it was in harmony with the aura of ‘Meteor Cliff’, so I threw it out.”

Li Yunjing gave a wry smile, stood up and cupped his hands: "As for that being... his level is far beyond our imagination, and his actions seem to have come at a huge cost, causing the 'Burial Immortal Ancient Realm' to collapse."

“I had no communication with him, let alone asked him for help.”

"It seems... more like a dormant protective mechanism than a combat force that can be mobilized at will."

Upon hearing this, the glimmer of hope that had just appeared in everyone's eyes dimmed again.

Indeed, the behavior logic of beings at that level is beyond their comprehension.

"It seems that external forces are unsustainable, and ultimately we must rely on ourselves."

Emperor Huangze said in a deep voice, "There are several urgent matters that need to be dealt with immediately."

"First, integrate resources and build a global defense system."

"Under the leadership of Yu Chenzi and Tian Zhenzi, and in conjunction with the array masters of various races, we will immediately begin setting up the 'Star Barrier'."

"Second, treat the wounded and reorganize the army."

"All the withdrawn cultivators will be disbanded from their original formations and reorganized into new legions based on their strengths and races. The Taixu Sword Master, Blood Demon Ancestor, Vast Sea Dragon King, Golden-Winged Roc Saint, and Barbarian Elder will be jointly responsible for training and commanding them."

"Third, we must devote all the power of our realm to enhance our strength."

"Open all dungeons and inventory, prioritizing supply to those with the potential to break through."

"Especially... strive to cultivate our own Void Return cultivators before the next demonic attack!"

Finally, Emperor Huangze's gaze swept over several vice leaders at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

These people are currently the closest to the Void Returning Realm.

Everyone felt the gaze upon them and became solemn, sensing immense pressure and responsibility.

As for combining?

This is no longer being considered.

Those present had no hope of breaking through that realm.

The only way for everyone to fight against the "Void Demons" is through immortal artifacts and the resources left behind by various sects.

"Fourth, establish a wartime supreme command, with me as the commander-in-chief and the seventeen people present as deputy commanders-in-chief, to make decisions together."

"All states, seas, and mountain ranges must unconditionally obey this order!"

"Yes!"

The crowd responded in unison, their voices echoing throughout the hall.

The Supreme Conference quickly concluded, and orders were issued from the "Universe Palace" like snowflakes, spreading throughout the entire "Tianlan Star".

This massive war machine, having lost all its buffer zones, began to operate at its limit, in a tragic manner.

Everyone understood that their time was running out.

When the next wave of demons arrives, it will be the final judgment that will determine the fate of "Tianlan Star".

Li Yunjing walked out of the main hall, looked at the familiar and vast sky beyond the "Across the Mountains", and took a deep breath.

His fist slowly clenched.

The final defense has been activated.

He must return to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" to prepare to activate the immortal array "Nine Heavens Demon-Suppressing Immortal Array"!
And communication with the celestial realm must also begin!

The battle has reached this point, and it's time for the final showdown!
Just before Li Yunjing left, Ye Wuhen from the "Heavenly Demon Sect" came knocking on his door.

"Brother Ye, is there something you need?"

Li Yunjing was quite surprised. He hadn't expected that Ye Wuhen would come to him for something when everyone was so busy.
"Brother Li, the situation on 'Tianlan Star' is unfavorable. Should we go to the East Sea to ask that senior from 'Guanghan Palace' for help?"

Knowing that Li Yunjing was busy, Ye Wuhen didn't waste any time and directly stated his purpose.

"Ok?"

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, revealing a thoughtful expression.

The Daoist nun in the "Guanghan Palace" possessed astonishing cultivation; she must have been at least at the Integration Realm!
But that Taoist nun seems to have been protecting the girl in the "Moon Palace" all along!

She has her own responsibilities!
Is it really possible to make a move at this time?

Li Yunjing had some doubts in his heart!
"How could I not know what Brother Ye is saying?"

After a while, Li Yunjing frowned again and slowly shook his head: "But... that senior is unpredictable and seems to have an extremely important responsibility, guarding the depths of the 'Guanghan Palace' year after year."

"Although I received some guidance from her during our last meeting, she may not easily get involved in worldly disputes."

"Although the demonic calamity is fierce now, it is hard to say whether she will make an exception for the sake of 'Tianlan Star'."

"Brother Li, times have changed!"

Ye Wuhen was clearly prepared. He stepped forward, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of urgency and certainty, "Back then, before the demonic calamity appeared, she could naturally remain detached from worldly affairs."

"But now, the 'Ancient Realm of Burial Immortals' has been shattered, and the demonic forces are pointing directly at the 'Tianlan Star' homeland!"

"How could that senior not understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'?"

"No matter how transcendent the seniors of 'Guanghan Palace' are, they still reside above the East Sea. If 'Tianlan Star' is transformed into a demonic realm, how can 'Guanghan Palace' remain unscathed?"

"Moreover, Brother Li, you did have a meeting with that senior once, and you helped her complete the task. This favor is still there."

He stared intently at Li Yunjing: "If you go and explain the situation clearly, and plead for my help, the success rate will be much higher than for us, who have no connection with each other!"

"This may be the only powerful external force we can currently secure that could potentially turn the tide of the war!"

Li Yunjing remained silent, his mind in turmoil.

Ye Wuhen's words make sense.

The demon race's goal is to devour the entire world's origin, and the "Moon Palace" has no chance of escaping this fate.

That senior possessed profound strength; it was impossible for him not to sense this impending doom.

Perhaps... she is also waiting for an opportunity to make a move?

Or rather, what is needed is a sufficiently compelling reason and a suitable "invitation"?
As he himself bore the inheritance of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," he was, to some extent, indeed someone who had a karmic connection with that senior.

Going there might not be enough to persuade them; but if we don't go, there's absolutely no hope.

Now, Tianlan Star is facing a life-or-death crisis, and every possible force must be fought for!
Thinking of the resolute act of the Sword Master of Taixu and others burning their divine souls to support the teleportation array, thinking of the 100,000 comrades who perished in the sea of ​​stars, thinking of the hundreds of millions of living beings behind them who needed to be protected...

Li Yunjing's gaze gradually hardened.

"Brother Ye is absolutely right!"

"I was overthinking it."

"No matter what, we should give it our all!"

He took a deep breath, looked at Ye Wuhen, and nodded heavily: "I will set off immediately for the 'Guanghan Palace' in the East Sea!"

Brother Li, your righteousness is truly admirable!

Ye Wuhen's face showed a relieved expression, and he cupped his hands and said, "This matter concerns the survival of an entire realm, I beg you!"

"I will explain the situation to the sect and the alliance on their behalf."

"May you achieve immediate success!"

Without delay, Li Yunjing didn't even have time to say goodbye to Yu Yunyi, Fu Chao, and the others. He simply gave a few instructions via the communication jade slip before transforming into a swift bolt of lightning and soaring into the sky, heading towards the vast and boundless East China Sea!

He pushed his speed to the limit, his body crackling with lightning, tearing through the clouds, and the mountains and land below rushed past.

There was only one thought in my mind!
Get to the "Moon Palace" as soon as possible and ask that senior for help!

Finally, that familiar, seemingly timeless misty sea came into view.

A cold and lonely atmosphere permeated the air; this was the location of the "Moon Palace".

He concealed his aura, pressed down on his escape light, and landed on the familiar reef at the edge of the mist.

Before he could even utter a sound, the mist before him seemed to come alive, spontaneously parting to reveal a passage leading into the depths.

Li Yunjing's heart tightened, and he dared not be negligent. He straightened his robes and stepped inside.

Passing through the mist, the cold, clear moon, seemingly hanging eternally, and the crystal-clear palace under the moonlight once again came into view.

In front of the palace, a laurel tree emitted a hazy glow.

The figure dressed in a plain white Taoist robe, with a cool and aloof demeanor like the moon, and whose face was blurred and difficult to discern, was already standing quietly under the laurel tree, as if he had long anticipated his arrival.

"Junior Li Yunjing pays respects to Senior!"

Li Yunjing bowed deeply, showing great respect.

"You came."

The Taoist nun's voice was flat and emotionless, revealing neither joy nor anger. "Is it about the demons from beyond the realm?"

Li Yunjing was shocked; the other party indeed knew everything.

"Your wisdom is profound!"

"We have come precisely for this world-destroying demonic calamity!"

He dared not conceal anything, and bowed deeply once more, his tone earnest and heavy: "'The Ancient Realm of Burial Immortals' has been shattered, and the demon army's advance could reach the homeland of 'Tianlan Star' at any time."

"Although the cultivators of our realm are fighting valiantly, the demon race is overwhelmingly powerful, with several Demon Lords at the Integration Realm. The disparity in strength is immense... I have presumptuously come here to earnestly request that, for the sake of countless lives, you lend a helping hand and save this realm from collapse!"

He succinctly and clearly described the situation on the front lines, the strength of the demon race, and the desperate situation that Tianlan Star was facing. His words were earnest and carried an undeniable urgency.

The Taoist nun listened quietly, her body radiating a pure, ethereal light, but did not respond immediately.

"This calamity is the destiny of all living beings in this world, and it is also a part of the operation of heaven and earth."

After Li Yunjing finished speaking, she slowly opened her mouth, her voice still cold: "Forcible external interference may cause more variables."

Li Yunjing's heart sank.

"Moreover, I have a duty to protect it and cannot easily leave the 'Guanghan Palace'."

But the nun didn't finish her sentence. She slightly raised her head, her blurry gaze seemingly piercing through the palace dome and looking into the depths of the endless void: "This is my destiny, and also my promise."

Sure enough...

Li Yunjing sighed inwardly; his biggest worry had become a reality.

This senior colleague certainly had his reasons for not being able to leave.

Just as despair began to grow in his heart, the Taoist nun suddenly changed the subject.

"but……"

Li Yunjing immediately looked up, hope rekindling in his eyes.

"The rampage of the demon race, their encroachment upon the realm, is not what I wish to see."

The nun's voice remained calm, yet it seemed to carry an indescribable meaning: "Although I cannot go in person, I can give you three things that may help you overcome this calamity."

As soon as she finished speaking, without any visible movement from her, three points of moonlight drifted down from the laurel tree and hovered in front of Li Yunjing.

The first item was a moon-white talisman with mysterious runes that exuded a tranquil yet resilient aura, as if it could stabilize the earth, water, fire, and wind, and calm all turmoil.

"This is the 'Taiyin Boundary-Stabilizing Talisman'."

The Taoist nun explained, "Activating this talisman can stabilize the laws of heaven and earth in a short period of time and suppress the erosion of foreign energy."

"This may help you build a relatively stable defense line under that demonic passage and offset some of the demonic energy suppression."

Li Yunjing's eyes lit up. This item was crucial for establishing a bridgehead in the area where the main force of the demons had descended!
The second item was a crystal-clear droplet of water radiating extreme cold, with what seemed to be flowing ice within it. The sheer coldness emanating from it almost froze the air around Li Yunjing.

"This is the 'Nine Heavens Ice Soul Cold Marrow'."

The nun continued, "This substance is extremely yin and cold, and it is especially effective against demonic fire and evil flames. It has a remarkable effect on certain demonic beings that rely on intense demonic energy."

"It can also be integrated into formations or supernatural powers to enhance the purification and freezing power of demonic energy."

Li Yunjing was overjoyed, for this was undoubtedly a powerful tool for dealing with certain specific demon races!
The third item was a seemingly ordinary withered branch, yet it faintly echoed with the sounds of the Great Dao, which came from that laurel tree.

"This is 'laurel branch'."

The nun's voice seemed to carry a hint of seriousness, "Placing it at the core of the sect's grand formation might draw upon a trace of the Taiyin Star Power, connecting the heavens and earth, enhancing the formation's power, and adding a touch of purification and protection. It should be beneficial to the 'Nine Heavens Demon-Suppressing Immortal Formation' you mentioned."

Li Yunjing took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

Although these three items were not personally made by the senior, each one is a rare and precious treasure, a perfect remedy that addresses the most urgent need in the fight against the demon!
Its value, in some ways, is no less than that of a cultivator at the Integration Realm making a brief move!
"Thank you, senior, for the treasure!"

Li Yunjing bowed deeply once more, his gratitude overflowing. "These three items are like sending charcoal in snowy weather for my 'Tianlan Star'!"

"On behalf of the billions of living beings in this world, I thank you for your help, senior!"

"Go."

The Taoist nun nodded slightly, her blurred face revealing no expression: "This calamity must ultimately be overcome by yourselves. Remember, hold fast to your true selves, for only then will you have a glimmer of hope."

With a flash of light, Li Yunjing felt himself enveloped by a gentle force, and the next moment, he appeared outside the Misty Sea.

In his hand lay quietly the "Taiyin Boundary-Stabilizing Talisman," the drop of "Nine Heavens Ice Soul Cold Marrow," and the seemingly inconspicuous "Laurel Branch."

Feeling the immense and pure Yin energy contained within the three treasures, Li Yunjing's originally heavy heart was finally filled with a strong sense of confidence.

Although they were unable to persuade their senior to personally participate in the battle, these three treasures undoubtedly added crucial weight to the upcoming final battle!
