Fantasy: I, the Great Celestial Venerable of the Dao

The Heavenly Demon Emperor exchanged glances with the other three, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded:

"Very well! We are willing to lead the demon realm to form an alliance with the divine land to jointly resist the demon realm!"

"Good." Dao Xuan nodded, and with a wave of his sleeve, all the restrictions on the four people were removed.

"Return to the Demon Realm immediately, consolidate your forces, and lead your elite troops to the Qingyun Alliance within fifteen days."

The four demon emperors, feeling the long-lost freedom and power returning, cupped their hands in greeting to Dao Xuan.

They transformed into four beams of demonic light that shot into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.

Fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye.

Qingyun Mountain, spanning a radius of a thousand miles, has become a massive military camp and fortress.

Cultivators from various sects across the land took up positions in key locations according to the formation, with banners waving and sword energy soaring into the clouds.

Huge flying magical artifacts frequently streaked across the sky, transporting supplies and adjusting deployments.

On this day, strange phenomena appeared simultaneously in the eastern and northern skies.

A malevolent aura surged from the east, billowing like smoke, condensing into the phantom of a colossal beast, its roar shaking the heavens.

A chilling wind howled from the north, accompanied by ghostly wails and howls, as a bleak, gray-black aura of death spread outwards.

The eerie figures of countless ghostly soldiers and generals can be vaguely seen within them.

The armies of demons and ghosts have arrived!

Nearly a million demon soldiers, their demonic aura intense, of various races, some ferocious, some mighty, their ranks disciplined, their killing intent palpable.

The ghostly soldiers were even more menacing, silent yet exuding a chilling aura that could freeze the soul.

The leading ghost general rode a bone horse, his eye sockets glowing with eerie green soul fire.

The two powerful forces did not directly enter the core area of ​​Qingyun Mountain.

Instead, they were stationed at designated locations on the periphery, forming a triangular formation with the Shenzhou Allied Forces.

Once stationed at Fangding, seven exceptionally powerful figures, led by Wan Jianyi, arrived.

Fly towards Yuqing Hall on Tongtian Peak.

These seven people are the four emperors of the demon realm: the Heavenly Demon Emperor, the Earthly Demon Emperor, the Profound Demon Emperor, and the Yellow Demon Emperor;

The three kings of the ghost realm: Yama, the Asura, and the Fire Ghost.

The atmosphere inside the Yuqing Hall was solemn.

In the Divine Continent, more than twenty powerful individuals at the Taiqing Realm (Human Immortal) or above gathered, led by Dao Xuan.

On the left and right are Wan Jianyi and Dugu Jiansheng, two mid-stage Earth Immortal experts.

Following them were the leaders and elders of various sects, whose cultivation levels were at least at the early stage of the Taiqing Realm.

When the seven demon leaders entered the main hall, all eyes turned to them.

These are the emperors and ghost kings who usually reign supreme in their respective realms and look down upon all living beings.

At this moment, I am facing the person sitting upright above.

His aura was as profound and unfathomable as the Dao itself.

They all unconsciously suppressed their arrogance and bowed in unison:

"Greetings, Dao Xuan Zhenren."

His voice was respectful, and his posture was extremely humble.

Faced with overwhelming power and a shared life-or-death crisis, dignity must give way to survival.

"No need for such formalities, everyone." Dao Xuan's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority. He gestured with his right hand, "Please sit."

The seven seats on the right side, which had been deliberately left empty, now have owners.

The seven people sat down, feeling somewhat at ease.

Especially the three kings of the Ghost Realm, their initial trepidation upon meeting Dao Xuan for the first time was replaced by a strange sense of reassurance.

The aura emanating from this person is unfathomable.

He seemed to be one with the entire world; with him around, it seemed that there was still hope in fighting against the demon realm.

Dao Xuan's gaze swept over everyone in the hall before he slowly spoke.

The sound clearly reached everyone's ears:

"We are all gathered here today for the same purpose."

The demon realm is about to descend, a catastrophe that will affect the six realms, and no one can escape it. Since we are determined to fight it together, we must put aside past grievances and work together.

If anyone harbors disloyalty, the alliance will break down, and no one will escape unscathed when the nest is overturned. I urge you all to carefully consider the implications.

"I will obey the Master's command!"

Everyone in the hall, whether from the divine lands or demons, solemnly agreed.

At this moment, Dao Xuan is undoubtedly the backbone and supreme commander of the alliance.

Dao Xuan nodded slightly and looked at Wan Jianyi beside him:

"Junior Brother Wan, let me explain the plan I have devised to you all."

Wan Jianyi responded and rose up.

The plan was detailed and thorough, taking into account all possibilities, and had clearly been in preparation for many years.

The seven leaders of the demons listened attentively, nodding occasionally or raising questions about details, which Wan Jianyi answered one by one.

The meeting lasted for several hours before it finally ended.

Several more days passed.

The oppressive atmosphere between heaven and earth grew heavier and heavier, and ordinary birds and beasts had long since disappeared.

Even the wind seemed to freeze. Everyone felt a heavy weight on their hearts, as if a mountain was pressing down on them.

Dao Xuan stood atop Tongtian Peak, gazing up at the sky, and he could clearly perceive it.

Another vast, chaotic, and aggressive world.

It is frantically approaching, squeezing, and trying to merge with the human world.

The barrier between the two worlds has become as thin as a cicada's wing.

"It's coming," he said softly.

The Sword Saint beside him nodded slowly with a solemn expression.

Yama, the Ghost King, and the Heavenly Demon Emperor also gathered to the side, looking tense.

After a moment's hesitation, Yama, the King of Hell, stepped forward and bowed to Dao Xuan, saying:

"Master, I recall an old matter, which may be related to the Demon Realm. I wonder if I should speak of it."

Dao Xuan turned his gaze to him: "Speak freely."

Yama, the King of Hell, took a deep breath, as if recalling distant memories, his tone filled with deep dread:

"That was a long time ago... After the previous Supreme Demon Lord fell, the Demon Realm was weakened for a time."

The Heavenly Emperor once personally led the divine army to attack the Demon Realm from the Well of Gods and Demons.

The intention was to quell the demonic threat in one fell swoop.

At that time, the Demon Realm was held up by Chonglou alone. Although he was incredibly brave, he initially seemed... no match for the Heavenly Emperor. The Divine Realm launched a fierce offensive, even penetrating deep into the Demon Realm's heartland.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked surprised.

The battle between the Heavenly Emperor and the Demon Lord is a top-secret event.

"However, for some reason, the situation changed drastically later."

Chonglou seemed to have broken through some kind of limit, his combat power surged, and he actually managed to repel the Heavenly Emperor, forcing the divine army to retreat.

Since then, the Heavenly Emperor has never launched a major attack on the Demon Realm again, and the Demon Realm seems to have some reservations as well.

They ceased their proactive attacks on the realm of gods, and the two sides merely engaged in a standoff and skirmish at the Well of Gods and Demons.

"It was Yama, the King of Hell, who said in a deep voice."

"This matter is extremely strange. Chonglou was already incredibly powerful at that time, yet he was able to repel the Heavenly Emperor..."

Furthermore, deep within the demon realm, there may be unknown secrets or powers hidden from view.

Upon hearing this, Dao Xuan's eyes flashed slightly. This information was indeed important.

"It seems the Demon Realm's true strength is even greater than it appears. We must not venture deep into the Demon Realm to fight lightly."

He pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you for informing me, King Yama."

at this time

"Boom—!!!"

A deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were created, exploded without warning deep within the souls of every living being!

The entire world trembled violently, and the protective array of Qingyun Mountain was automatically activated, with light curtains flowing.

The sky looked as if it had been torn apart by an invisible giant hand.

Revealing the deep, chaotic, and endlessly churning dark void behind it!

The Demon Realm has begun to merge!

"Hahaha! Dao Xuan! I've arrived! Come out quickly and fight me!"

His arrogant and domineering laughter pierced through the barrier between the two worlds.

It came rolling in like thunder, echoing throughout the entire Qingyun Mountain Range.

The shock caused some disciples with lower cultivation levels to experience a surge of qi and blood, turning their faces pale.

On Tongtian Peak, all the powerful figures' expressions changed drastically, and their gazes turned to Dao Xuan.
