Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

Soon, these carefree immortals were no longer happy.

No one expected that after years of peace, they would suddenly receive a decree from the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven.

These people naturally dared not refuse the Heavenly Court's summons.

If they refuse, then it is treason, and they are traitors and rebels. The Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven has the right to execute them!

That was the benevolent corpse of a Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal!

Who dares disobey the decree of the Primordial Chaos?

One by one, they reluctantly accepted it, gathered together, and waited to go into battle.

The group gathered together, and soon some unfamiliar powerful individuals arrived.

A total of twenty-one powerful individuals gathered there.

Of course, there are no late-stage Quasi-Saints here.

Such figures are all important figures in the Four Realms, and naturally they would not be controlled by the Heavenly Court, nor would they be willing to give face to the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven.

Twenty-one powerful cultivators and three hundred Golden Immortals were gathered together.

The True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor personally led these people down to the mortal realm.

These people were not the type to risk their lives, and the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven did not expect them to help the Heavenly Army defeat the various tribes underground.

I just hope they can do something to stabilize the situation.

Let these underground races influence the major affairs of the Jie Sect.

At this moment, the Eastern Continent was completely occupied by the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance".

The entire continent became part of the Qin Empire's territory.

Zen Buddhism also became the state religion of the Qin Empire.

The remaining forces of the Xuanmen sect were all wiped out.

Apart from Kunlun Mountain, almost all of Chan Sect's temples were under attack.

The situation here at the People's Education Bureau isn't much better.

On Mount Shu, almost all the power of the Human Sect on the Eastern Continent was gathered.

This place was also attacked by the "Witch Buddha Demon Alliance".

The Jie Sect wasn't much better.

The remaining disciples of the Jie Sect had long since abandoned Dongsheng Shenzhou and crossed the sea to Nanzhanbuzhou.

At this time, both the Chan Sect and the Ren Sect were besieged on two sides and were in dire straits.

If they fail to conquer the Underworld and lose the Eastern Continent, their two sects will have no place in the Immortal Realm. Such an outcome is unacceptable to either sect!

Humans are the darlings of Heaven.

Only by spreading the religion among humans can one gather the fortune of the human race and strengthen the sect.

Humans are mainly concentrated in the Immortal Realm.

Without the Earthly Immortal Realm, it would be impossible to gain enough believers.

Back then, how easy was it to spread the word?

Of the four continents in the Immortal Realm, the best place is the Eastern Continent of Victory, followed by the Southern Continent of Jambudvipa. The great losses suffered by the Human Sect and the Chan Sect have caused a group of great supernatural beings to bleed with grief.

What should I do?

The great battle is still ongoing, and the hopes of the Renjiao and Chanjiao sects are becoming increasingly slim.

It seems the scales of victory have tipped.

With the arrival of Heavenly Court reinforcements, the battlefield between Heavenly Court and various underground races deep within the Nine Netherworlds has returned to a state of balance.

Outside the Nine Netherworld, the internal war within the Xuanmen sect has reached a breaking point.

The Chaos Demon Ape charged ahead relentlessly, and only Confucius managed to withstand its onslaught by relying on the "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda".

The other two sects' great masters were no match for the experts of the Jie Sect.

The appearance of the three great masters, Jinling Shengmu, Wudang Shengmu, and Guiling Shengmu, in particular, became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Renjiao and Chanjiao sects.

"What should we do?"

Guang Chengzi heard the voice of the Grand Master Xuandu.

Clearly, this senior disciple of the Humanist sect was pessimistic and believed that the great war could not continue.

"Sigh! Let's retreat for now! We can deal with the underworld another day."

Guang Chengzi sighed and had no choice but to send a telepathic message.

Immediately afterwards, Guang Chengzi transmitted his voice to all the great supernatural beings of the Chan Sect, instructing them to prepare for retreat.

Upon receiving Guang Chengzi's telepathic message, Grand Master Xuandu's spirits lifted; he truly did not wish to continue the fight.

Soon, the people from the People's Education Bureau also received the notice to evacuate.

Before long, Guang Chengzi and Grand Master Xuandu exchanged a glance and then conveyed the order to retreat.

The two religions still have millions of followers. Having received orders from the important figures, they all breathed a sigh of relief and retreated.

Seeing this, the members of the Jie Sect did not give chase and also breathed a sigh of relief.

Such a fierce battle was something even the disciples of the Jie Sect did not want to continue.

In this battle, the number of disciples who perished across the three religions is probably in the tens of millions.

If we include the underworld, the heavenly court, and the various races underground, the number of fallen beings is probably as high as fifty to sixty million.

This great battle was even more brutal than the war in the demon realm.

In the war against the demon realm, the Human Sect, the Chan Sect, and the Jie Sect all advanced with unstoppable momentum and obvious advantages, never suffering any losses.

This time, it was an internal strife, a massive battle within the three religions, which was naturally far more brutal than before.

"It's finally over!"

The Chaos Demon Ape split into two, and Yuan Hong, the Six-Eared Macaque, Sun Wukong, and Wuzhiqi all breathed a sigh of relief.

The battle was so fierce that even the Four Protectors were exhausted.

"Huang Feihu, come here!"

With a loud shout, Huang Feihu and Wenqu Xingjun, who dared not join the battle, quickly flew over.

"Disciple Huang Feihu pays respects to Grandmaster!"

Huang Feihu was Wen Zhong's disciple, and according to seniority, he was the grand-disciple of the Golden Spirit Mother. Upon hearing the summons from his ancestor, he dared not be negligent and flew over immediately to pay his respects with great ceremony.

"Yes! For the time being, you will be in full charge of matters concerning the Underworld. You must shoulder this responsibility and not allow the Renjiao and Chanjiao sects to take advantage of any loopholes."

"Golden Spirit Mother gave the order."

"Yes! This disciple understands! This disciple will certainly protect the Underworld for my Jie Sect!"

Huang Feihu was overjoyed. Suppressing his excitement, he quickly assured the Golden Spirit Mother.

This time, the Jie Sect also suffered considerable losses, with countless second-generation disciples perishing, and among the various schools of thought, there were also great masters who fell.

Such losses are naturally extremely severe.

Now that we've won over the Nine Netherworld, we absolutely cannot allow it to be lost.

It can be said that Huang Feihu gained enormous benefits, but also tied his fate to the underworld. If something happens to the underworld, there is no need for him to live.

They can live and die with the underworld.

The battlefield was cleaned up, and other matters were taken care of.

Zhao Gongming led a group of powerful cultivators from the Jie Sect into the depths of the Nine Netherworld.

When the great battle outside ended, the various races underground naturally found out.

When Zhao Gongming and his group arrived, the various tribes underground put up a brief resistance before retreating into the darkness like a tide.

The Zombie King and his group were powerless to change the fact that Jiang Chen was sealed away by the Jie Sect.

The people of Heaven naturally wouldn't pursue them.

After greeting Zhao Gongming and the others, the Heavenly Army hastily retreated.

They were genuinely afraid.

They were afraid that another storm would break out and another major battle would occur.

The Heavenly Court also suffered significant losses this time, so naturally they were unwilling to risk their lives for the Jie Sect.

Before long, everything stabilized.

Yuan Hong, the Six-Eared Macaque, Sun Wukong, and Wuzhiqi remained in the underworld for the time being, while the rest of the Jie Sect withdrew one after another.

They left behind Yuan Hong and the four guardians, still fearing that things in the underworld might change.

With the Four Guardians here, at least the Underworld can be protected while awaiting reinforcements.

Once the disciples of the Jie Sect had all left, the Nine Netherworlds temporarily calmed down.

"Fellow Daoist Guangchengzi, what should we do now?"

The armies of the Human Sect and the Chan Sect returned to the Earthly Immortal Realm and sensed that the Eastern Continent of Divine Victory was lost. Grand Master Xuandu's face was extremely grim.

"Alas! At this moment, the army's morale is low, and I'm afraid we can no longer fight!"

Guang Chengzi was also heartbroken, as his own dojo in Dongsheng Shenzhou had been occupied by the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance".

The resentment towards the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" is no less than that towards the human sect.

In just one great battle, as many as five Quasi-Saints of the Chan Sect perished.

It even included high-ranking figures like Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun.

We can't continue playing now!

"Fellow Daoist Guang Chengzi, what are your plans?"

The Grand Master Xuandu asked again.

"We, the disciples of the Chan Sect, will temporarily retreat to Kunlun Mountain to recuperate."

Guang Chengzi thought about it and realized he had nowhere else to go, so he had no choice but to return to his ancestral home.

"In that case, let's withdraw our People's Sect from Shouyang Mountain and Shu Mountain!"

The situation in Dongsheng Shenzhou is clear at a glance; the Human Sect only has these two places left.

At this moment, Mount Shu is still under siege, and there are many disciples of the Human Sect there, so it is imperative to rescue them.

After the two sects parted ways, the Chan sect went to Kunlun Mountain; the ordinary disciples of the Ren sect went to Shouyang Mountain first.

Both of these places were once sacred sites for sages.

The "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" has not yet made up its mind to completely occupy these two places.

Even if the Primordial Saint cannot directly intervene in the affairs of the Eastern Continent.

The members of the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" did not dare to easily target the sage's temple.

They feared that one day they would be punished by the sage.

These people don't have the guts to attack and occupy the sacred site of a saint.

Therefore, both places are quite safe for the time being.

It is the way out for the disciples of the Human Teachings and the Chan Teachings.

The situation at Mount Shu is different; the battles there are incredibly fierce.

The remaining disciples of the Human Sect are all here, and the people of the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" naturally want to eradicate them completely.

With the Renjiao disciples gathered on Mount Shu eliminated, the Renjiao had no chance of launching a counterattack.

The "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" understood the calculations involved perfectly well.

After bidding farewell to the people of the Chan Sect, Grand Master Xuandu and the others naturally headed towards Mount Shu immediately.

This group of people did not seek to defeat the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance," but only hoped to rescue the disciples of the Human Sect on Mount Shu.

Of course, it would be better if they could preserve Mount Shu, but if they couldn't, they wouldn't force it.

For the People's Education Press, preserving its strength is now the most important thing.

Outside Mount Shu, just as the Grand Master Xuandu, Confucius, Zhuangzi, and more than a dozen other great supernatural beings approached, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit, along with a group of Buddhas, instantly flew up and blocked them from entering.

This group of Buddhist masters were also unwilling to fight to the death with the higher-ups of the Humanist sect.

Upon appearing, they immediately set up the "Bodhi Grand Formation," blocking the path of Grand Master Xuandu and his group.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is about to sever his third corpse, and the Sandalwood Merit Buddha is also a top-tier existence among the late-stage Quasi-Saints. With these two Buddhist masters and the assistance of several Quasi-Saints, the "Bodhi Great Formation" can be unleashed to its fullest potential.

"Today, another bloody battle will ensue!"

Grand Master Xuandu's face was gloomy, but now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to fight.

Upon hearing this, the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit chuckled and said, "Namo Amitabha! Fellow Daoist Xuandu, this matter is the will of Heaven. You should retreat quickly! You cannot lift the siege of Mount Shu."

"Hmph! Let's fight it out first!"

Grand Master Xuandu coldly glanced at the "Bodhi Grand Formation," then said to the experts of the Human Sect, "Attack it with the 'Two Elements Dust Formation'!"

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

Everyone nodded and instantly arranged themselves into a large formation.

Yin and Yang energies pierced through the void, and under the urging of Grand Master Xuandu, the great formation, with the "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda" and the "Taiji Diagram" as its framework, crashed into the "Bodhi Great Formation"!

"Amitabha! Everyone, please be careful. Our mission is to gain just half an hour!"

When the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit saw the Human Sect fighting desperately, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down and said calmly.

"Rest assured, Buddha! We understand!"

The Buddhas responded, each channeling their full power, and the entire "Bodhi Grand Array" shone with golden light as it collided with the "Two Elements Dust Array".

"Boom!"

The two great formations collided in the void, smashing a hole in the entire sky.

Both sides withdrew from their respective formations, and then clashed again.

The Buddhist sect outside blocked the reinforcements from the Human Sect, and the Wu tribe, as the main force attacking Mount Shu, immediately became anxious.

"Hurry! Use the 'Soul Devouring Formation' to break through Shu Mountain's defenses!"

Hou Yi lost his patience and gave the order directly.

This "Soul-Devouring Array" was once an evil array created by Chi You.

Using the secret methods of the Witch Clan, the power of the "Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation" was activated, which can be described as a weakened version of the "Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation".

As soon as this formation was activated, a murderous aura surged into the sky, and a thick black mist enveloped the entire Shu Mountain.

On Mount Shu, there are many immortals who can sense the outside world; otherwise, they might all collapse.

"open!"

The founder of the Shu Mountain Sect, the Long-Browed Immortal, let out a sharp roar, and a beam of light shone brightly.

It actually illuminated part of the area, preventing it from being completely shrouded in the black mist of the "Soul Devouring Array".

"Huh? Long-browed, a mere junior, possesses such methods!"

Hou Yi was slightly taken aback, not expecting anyone to be able to bring out such a magical weapon.

"What a pity! Without the eighty-one 'Chi You Banners', the power of the 'Soul Devouring Formation' is less than half of its peak. Otherwise, Master Changmei would definitely have no way to suppress the black mist."

Hou Yi thought for a moment and took out the "Sun-Shooting Bow" and the "Heaven-Shaking Arrow".

He drew the bow and nocked the arrow in one swift motion.

In Hou Yi's hands, the "Sun-Shooting Divine Bow" immediately displayed an invincible aura.

"Oh no! Hou Yi is about to make his move!"

"What should we do?"

"This man's marksmanship is unparalleled!"

……

Upon witnessing Hou Yi's actions, the experts of the various sects on Mount Shu were greatly alarmed, including two highly skilled individuals who showed expressions of shock.

Previously, Hou Yi, mindful of his status, did not choose to attack these ordinary disciples.

Now that Grand Master Xuandu and his reinforcements have arrived, Hou Yi naturally has no reason to hold back. (End of Chapter)
