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

The banquet lasted for seven days, and both the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely.

Three more years have passed, and those small and medium-sized forces that returned have begun negotiations with the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance".

Ultimately, many forces joined in.

Ten years later, the power of the entire "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" had grown back to the level it was before the two wars with the Human Sect and the Chan Sect.

The Jie Sect was well aware of the actions of the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance," but at this moment, they were powerless to stop it.

Apart from their close relationships with traditional allies who are willing to protect them, the Jie Sect truly refuses to accept any other forces!

The extent of the "Cataclysm of the End of Dharma" had already been explained by Chaos Daojun to the great masters of the Jie Sect.

Even the Jie Sect might not be able to survive the great calamity, so how could it possibly lead other forces through it?

In terms of resources, the Jie Sect is unable to meet the needs of other small and medium-sized forces.

As for luring them in first and then sacrificing them as cannon fodder?

The Jie Sect has not yet degenerated to that extent!

Over the course of ten years, the Jie Sect and the Ming army essentially stabilized half of Xiniu Hezhou's territory.

Over the course of those ten years, the resistance forces were almost entirely wiped out by the Ming army.

Now, the Jie Sect and the Ming army have once again mobilized to confront the alliance of the three sects in the Holy City amidst the endless sea of ​​sand.

This is the holy city of the "One True Religion," the core area of ​​the sect.

At this moment, the God Worshipping Society, the One True Society, and the Brahmanism, three major religions, with a combined army of thirty million, are guarding this place.

The demon legions, the angelic armies, the Knights Templar, the Crusaders, the fanatic army, and the Brahmanic army are all ready for battle.

The three parties brought together many smaller factions, and many people also joined in.

Faced with the alliance of the three religions, which included top-level supernatural beings such as Jehovah, Wutian Buddha, and Weizhen Daoren, the Jie Sect dared not be negligent.

Outside the Holy City, on the reed hut of the Jie Sect, a group of immortals gathered.

Mencius himself came, as did other figures such as the Golden Spirit Mother, the Wudang Mother, the Turtle Spirit Mother, Kong Xuan, the Winged Immortal, the Seven Immortal Attendants, as well as the Azure Cloud Fairy, the Jade Cloud Fairy, Zhao Gongming, and Luo Xuan—all these veteran powerhouses.

Besides these people, Mozi and others from the Hundred Schools of Thought also came.

The wandering immortals who had attached themselves to the demons, as well as the demons from the demon realm who ate immortals, all had powerful figures who went into battle.

The Jie Sect had gathered as many as seventy or eighty powerful cultivators.

As for the Great Luo Golden Immortals, there are tens of thousands of them, the Taiyi Golden Immortals number in the millions, and the other low-level immortals number in the tens of millions.

As for cultivators below the level of immortals, the combined number of the Jie Sect and other forces is as high as seven or eight million.

Meanwhile, the army of the Ming Empire had gathered tens of millions of human soldiers, waiting for the Jie Sect to win so that they could storm into the Holy City and wipe out the One True Sect.

In terms of numbers, the two sides are almost evenly matched.

However, in terms of those with great supernatural powers, the Jie Sect has a huge advantage, which can be described as an overwhelming advantage.

Many great figures rose to prominence during the Investiture of the Gods and have now reached the level of quasi-leaders.

This is why the Jie Sect members don't care about the strength of the opponent.

A single high-level combatant can change the course of a battle, let alone such a large group of highly skilled individuals.

Those who came this time, especially those from the Demon Realm.

This is the first time the Devouring Immortals have participated in a war of this scale since surrendering to the Intercepting Sect.

As demons, the Devouring Immortals are extremely warlike and bloodthirsty. This time, in order to improve their status among their fellow disciples in the Intercepting Sect, the Devouring Immortals Demon Emperor went to great lengths.

They mobilized a total of seven demon gods, along with an army of five million.

In terms of overall combat strength, the Jie Sect still has a significant advantage.

"It's about time. Let's go out together and confront these unorthodox practitioners."

In the desert, under the blazing sun, at midday, Mencius began to speak.

"I will obey the supreme decree of the sect leader!"

All the powerful figures of the Jie Sect responded in unison.

Before long, a huge cloud formed outside the holy city, with millions of immortals and gods appearing in the clouds. Everywhere was filled with "Shangqing Immortal Light", and the entire Xiniu Hezhou was dyed with seven-colored immortal light.

For the first time, the monotonous golden world of Xiniu Hezhou was transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors.

In the void, there was celestial light, celestial music, and the sounds of the profound Dao everywhere.

Countless beings throughout Xiniu Hezhou witnessed what the orthodox Xuanmen sect, the orthodox Pangu sect, and the Shangqing Immortal Techniques and Chaos Immortal Techniques truly meant.

Such a display of power left all the monks of the One True Church, the God Worshipping Church, and the Brahman Church in the Holy City with grim expressions.

"Let's go! We must fight the Jie Sect today and show them our strength so that we can create conditions for peace talks!"

As the landlord, Daoist Weizhen sighed and spoke first.

However, his words revealed a hint of helplessness and pessimism, as if even a veteran master of supernatural powers like himself was inherently inferior to the people of the Jie Sect.

"Let's go out and meet the people of the Intercepting Sect!"

Everyone else nodded; at this point, no one had any way out.

The interests of the Jie Sect are completely opposite to theirs; if they do not comply, they will be eliminated.

And what's the way out?

There are no three religions at all!

They had reached their most dangerous moment. No matter what, they had to fight the Jie Sect and fight for a chance of survival out of the impossible.

Soon, the entire holy city emitted a rumbling sound. The holy city actually rose from the ground and appeared in the void, with a huge scripture appearing above the holy city.

The voices of countless believers chanting scriptures converged into the scripture, causing it to emit a white light that formed a celestial canopy that enveloped the holy city and confronted the auspicious clouds of the Jie Sect.

However, the light of the scriptures could not break through the holy city.

After all, the power of the One True Sect is nothing compared to that of the Intercepting Sect.

Those who worship God and Brahmanism do not believe in the One True Religion, so naturally they will not allow their willpower to merge with that of the One True Religion to fight against the Intercepting Sect.

After an hour of confrontation, the two sides tacitly withdrew their auras.

The faces of the members of the One True Sect, the God Worshipping Sect, and the Brahman Sect all looked rather grim. The Intercepting Sect had taken the initiative and severely suppressed their momentum.

Mencius nodded to his fellow disciples, and then he led the Golden Spirit Mother and Kong Xuan to the front of the battle.

Inside the holy city, the three leaders of the three religions exchanged a glance, walked out of the holy city, and faced Mencius and the other two from a distance.

The three leaders of the three religions—the True Taoist, Jehovah, and the Buddha of No Heaven—were not to be outdone, glaring angrily at Mencius and the others.

As the leader, Daoist Weizhen was the first to speak: "Shameless Jie Sect, you have attacked my Xiniu Hezhou without cause! Do you think you can cover up the truth? Today, our Three Religions Alliance will surely make you suffer a humiliating defeat beneath the Holy City!"

"Heh! Under heaven, all is imperial land! Now, the Emperor of the Great Ming Empire has been born, destined to unify the Immortal Realm and restore the majesty of the ancient Emperor. If you do not surrender now, when will you?"

Mencius sneered, "Don't say that my Jie Sect won't give you a chance to live. I'll wait for you for a quarter of an hour. If you still refuse to submit to the teachings of the Xuanmen, I will raze your little town to the ground and sweep away all demons and monsters!"

"Damn it! I'm so angry!"

Daoist Weizhen was furious. Over the years, he had been a leader of a sect, ruling over a corner of Xiniu Hezhou. When had he ever been so looked down upon?

Upon hearing Mencius's words, he was so enraged that he couldn't help but want to take action.

An imam stepped forward and said, "O God! Your servant is willing to fight and teach these infidels a lesson!"

The imam is the right-hand man of the True Man, responsible for religious affairs and teaching scriptures. His name has also become a kind of divine office, and he holds a very high position in the True Man religion.

This is also one of only three great supernatural beings in the One True Sect.

"Alright! You go first!"

Master Weizhen nodded and agreed to the imam's request.

"yes!"

The imam responded and then flew out of the holy city, arriving at the center of both camps, where he looked at the members of the Jie Sect.

This fanatic showed no fear whatsoever, instead arrogantly declaring, "Damn infidels! You dare invade the great Holy Land! You will pay the price! Anyone who isn't afraid to die, step forward! I will use your blood to cleanse your sins!"

Mencius chuckled lightly. He wouldn't even give such a person a second thought, much less dignified status to engage in conversation with him.

Mencius turned to the crowd behind him and said, "Who will step forward, slay this fiend, and uphold the prestige of our teachings?"

As soon as Mencius finished speaking, Luo Xuan stepped forward, bowed to Mencius, and said, "Your Excellency, I am willing to fight and kill this man."

Luo Xuan was also a second-generation disciple of the Jie Sect, and was an elder.

Previously, he was listed on the "Investiture of the Gods" and his cultivation could not advance. Now, he has long since escaped the sea of ​​suffering. After years of arduous cultivation, this inner disciple of the Jie Sect has also reached the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

As the god of fire, Luo Xuan was born with a fiery temper.

Seeing that the imam was merely a heretic, yet he kept insisting that the Jiejiao sect should wash away their sins with blood.

Such arrogant behavior completely enraged Luo Xuan.

Naturally, he had to be the first to fight and kill this man, so that the world could see the might of the Flame Immortal Luo Xuan.

Seeing that it was Luo Xuan who was to fight, Mencius nodded and said, "Very well, you will be the first to fight."

"Yes, sir!"

Luo Xuan clasped his hands in a fist salute, his figure flickered, and he transformed into a streak of fire, arriving in the central void between the two camps.

As soon as Luo Xuan appeared, a flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing the "Flying Smoke Sword." He arrogantly declared, "Luo Xuan of the Jie Sect is here! You unorthodox sects, hurry up and make your move, or you'll miss your chance!"

"You heretic! Even now, you still show no remorse... I, on behalf of..."

The imam continued his incessant rambling.

Luo Xuan's anger flared, and he pointed his "Flying Smoke Sword" and roared, "Enough nonsense, take this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xuan transformed into a streak of fire and charged towards the imam with his sword.

"Heretics, you're asking for death!"

Seeing this, the imam remained calm. Holding a scripture in one hand and raising his staff in the other, he parried Luo Xuan's attack with the "Flying Smoke Sword".

After a fierce battle, Luo Xuan figured out the imam's tactics and couldn't help but show his disdain.

These barbarians were clumsy and lacked adaptability; they had great strength but no skill in changing their moves. They were far less flexible and versatile than Luo Xuan. After only a few dozen rounds, Luo Xuan gained an overwhelming advantage.

This leaves the imam with only the ability to defend, not to attack.

However, this imam was, after all, a quasi-saint level expert, and it was not easy for Luo Xuan to subdue him with martial arts in the short term.

Thinking of this, Luo Xuan flicked the "Flying Smoke Sword" in his hand, and suddenly, black smoke shot out from the tip of the sword, which soon turned the void into darkness.

Only he and the imam were in the black smoke. The two fought in the black smoke, and all kinds of divine light shot up into the sky.

However, the two never emerged from the black smoke.

The three groups of people, including the Taoist Master Weizhen, all looked worried, fearing that the Imam might fall victim to Luo Xuan's poisonous hand amidst the black smoke.

"Luo Xuan, you despicable man, how could you resort to such vicious methods!"

Before long, the imam's loud shouts came from within the black smoke, but his voice was weak and lacked the loudness he had during the earlier argument.

"Hahaha! You barbarian, how could you possibly know the power of the Xuanmen Great Arts?"

Luo Xuan laughed loudly, and suddenly held up a pot-shaped magic weapon in his hand. Luo Xuan blew on the object, and immediately, a "quack quack quack" sound came from the black smoke.

"Puff puff puff!"

Three thousand fire crows flew out from this magical artifact and surrounded the imam. In an instant, flames roared throughout the black smoke.

Every flame is the true fire of Samadhi!

This magical artifact is none other than Luo Xuan's "Ten Thousand Crows Pot"!

In the thick black smoke, where visibility was already poor, the imam was already on the defensive. Now, with three thousand fire crows attacking him, he immediately became flustered and overwhelmed.

"You barbarian, you're quite resistant to heat!"

Luo Xuan sneered, and another treasure flew out from his body, flashing with five-colored divine light, spinning rapidly as it flew towards the imam's head.

The magical artifact landed above the imam's head, and suddenly, five giant dragons flew out from the wheel-shaped artifact. The dragons bared their fangs and roared loudly, making the imam's head buzz. For a moment, his hand movements slowed down considerably.

A golden opportunity presented itself. Luo Xuan chanted incantations, and beams of "Shangqing Immortal Light" flashed from his body, which then formed a ball of "Nanming Li Fire".

With a whoosh, the flames landed on the slow-moving imam.

"what……"

Damaged by the "Southern Bright Fire," the imam couldn't help but let out a scream. But before he could extinguish the flames on his body, Luo Xuan moved and came close. With a slash of the "Flying Smoke Sword," the imam's head fell to the ground.

"Take another 'Shangqing Divine Thunder' from this humble Taoist!"

Fearing the imam might not die, Luo Xuan concentrated his left palm and unleashed the supreme thunder technique of the Jie Sect, blasting the imam's body into pieces.

"Samadhi True Fire Formation!"

Luo Xuan moved again, summoning three thousand fire crows and instantly setting up a formation.

The three divine flames—fire in stone, fire in the air, and fire in wood—burned rapidly, completely incinerating the black smoke emitted by the "Flying Smoke Sword."

In an instant, the black smoke dissipated, and Luo Xuan, laughing loudly, appeared in the void, carrying the imam's head. (End of Chapter)
