Fantasy: I, the Great Celestial Venerable of the Dao

Dao Xuan's expression completely changed, becoming extremely ugly.

One beast god has already made them pay a heavy price.

If we add to that the evil thoughts of five Celestial Immortal level experts, then...

A monster, nurtured for millennia and growing stronger by absorbing the evil deeds of humanity, has broken free from its seal...

That was simply an ultimate nightmare that swept across the six realms and no one could stop it!

Its harm may far exceed that of the Beast God!

This is actually an enhanced version of the Evil Sword Immortal!

"It is no coincidence that Baiyue chose this time to attack Shushan!"

Dao Xuan instantly understood all the key points; his voice was icy cold and filled with chilling killing intent.

"He must have known of this thing's existence, and may even have had some kind of connection with it!"

His attack on Mount Shu to demand the Demon-Locking Tower was a pretense; his true purpose was...

It seems they intend to use the power of the Water Demon Beast to break the seal from within and without, thus helping the evil energy to break free of the tower completely!

At that time, the human world will face a double catastrophe from both the ancient water demon beast and this evil creature!

No, it could even be a triple catastrophe; those ordinary demons that were suppressed will also escape!

"We must stop him! At all costs!"

Dugu Yuyun's eyes were bloodshot, his expression resolute, and his sword aura soared into the sky. He wished he could sprout wings and fly back to Mount Shu immediately.

"There's no time to lose! Let's set off immediately to aid Mount Shu!"

Dao Xuan made a decisive decision, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Hopefully... Master Qingwei can hold on until we arrive!"

He immediately removed the barrier, his gaze sweeping over the worried crowd in the hall, and said in a deep voice to Wan Jianyi:

"Junior Brother Wan! You are now in full charge of all matters here!"

Brother Dugu and I must rush to Mount Shu immediately!

The Moon Worshiping Demon Beast's attack on the mountain concerns the survival of the Demon-Sealing Tower and the fate of all living beings; it is of utmost urgency!

Wan Jianyi knew that this matter was of great importance, even more dangerous than the previous Beast God Calamity, and solemnly accepted the order:

"Don't worry, senior brother! I'll handle everything! I will definitely live up to your expectations! You... please be very careful!"

Dao Xuan and Dugu Yuyun exchanged a glance, both seeing an intense sense of urgency in each other's eyes.

Without further delay, the two transformed into rainbows, one blue and one purple.

It burst forth at top speed, hurtling towards Mount Shu!

Many cultivators looked up at the two beams that disappeared into the horizon in an instant.

The tension that had just eased after defeating the Beast God was instantly aroused once again.

At this moment, Mount Shu has already become a different kind of hellish scene.

The light barrier formed by the mountain-protecting formation was repeatedly and frantically struck by the raging torrents and the massive, mountain-like body of the water demon beast.

It twisted and rippled violently, its light flickering unpredictably.

It seemed as if it would completely collapse at any moment.

The once beautiful mountains and rivers surrounding Mount Shu have been transformed into a chaotic wasteland, ravaged by floods and towering turbid waves.

The Lord of the Moon Cult stood quietly atop the Water Demon Beast's enormous, scaly head.

The wide, black and red priest's robes remained motionless amidst the bloodshed.

He gazed towards the direction of the Shushan Grand Hall, his face still bearing that compassionate and gentle smile, as if he understood the ways of the world.

But deep within those profound eyes lay a frozen indifference, as indifferent as the indifference of all things.

And a deeply hidden, almost fanatical expectation.

"Master, why resist so stubbornly?"

His voice was gentle, yet it clearly pierced through the roaring water and the hum of the array.

The message reached the ears of every Shushan disciple who was holding their ground.

It possesses a seductive power.

"This Demon-Sealing Tower isolates us from heaven and earth, defying nature. Today, I am acting on the mandate of heaven, and I must have it."

The fairyland of Shu Mountain is now shrouded in gloom and despair.

The once vibrant and spirited peaks are now surrounded by raging floods.

The turbid waves crashed against the mountain again and again, producing a deafening roar.

The light of the mountain-protecting formation had long since dimmed, flickering unpredictably.

Master Qingwei stood before the Demon-Locking Tower, his Taoist robe soaked with sweat, his face as pale as paper.

He formed hand seals, doing his utmost to maintain the last barrier.

The dozens of elite disciples of Mount Shu behind him all had solemn expressions.

He continuously poured the little spiritual energy he had left into the formation.

"Baiyue, don't even think about it!" Qingwei's voice was hoarse, but unusually firm.

"As long as I'm alive, you absolutely cannot take the Demon-Sealing Tower!"

Despite having reached the Taiqing realm, he was still no match for the water demon beast's seemingly endless onslaught.

His magical powers were already running out.

Each roar of that colossal creature caused the barrier to tremble violently.

The leader of the Moon Worship Cult stood in mid-air, his wide black and red robes fluttering in the strong wind.

His expression was calm, as if the great battle before him was of no importance to him.

"Master Qingwei, why must you endure this so painfully?"

Bai Yue's voice was gentle, yet it carried a chilling edge.

"The power within the Demon-Sealing Tower should never have been sealed. Only by releasing it can we witness the true Dao of Heaven."

His gaze swept over the Shushan people below who were struggling to hold on.

A barely perceptible smile curved at the corners of his lips.

Sensing its master's will, the water demon beast let out a deafening roar.

The giant wave rose several meters higher again, like a giant hand, slamming down on the crumbling barrier.

"Disciples, increase your spiritual energy output!"

Qingwei gritted his teeth and shouted, his voice echoing throughout the entire mountaintop.

"I have informed the sect leader! He and Dao Xuan Zhenren are on their way back!"

This news acted like a shot in the arm, giving the already exhausted disciples a much-needed boost.

The elite forces of Shu Mountain were dispatched to support Fenxiang Valley, which was suffering from the chaos caused by the Beast God.

Today, less than one-tenth of the people who remain in the mountains are still alive.

Otherwise, how could Baiyue and the Water Demon Beast have so easily reached the Demon Locking Tower?

Bai Yue's usually calm expression finally showed a slight change.

If Dugu Yuyun and Dao Xuan arrive, even with the help of the Water Demon Beast, his plan to break the Demon Locking Tower will be in vain.

Can't wait any longer.

With a gentle wave of his wide sleeves, his movements were elegant and composed, as if he were merely brushing away dust from the corner of his garment.

However, a vast and powerful magical force surged forth.

It transformed into a dark red pillar of light.

It crashed into the already fragile protective array of the mountain.

"Click—"

The crisp sound of shattering echoed throughout the heavens and earth, marking the end of the great formation that had protected Mount Shu for thousands of years.

It completely disintegrated under this attack, turning into countless points of light.

The water monster, having lost its last barrier, let out a deafening roar of excitement.

A hundred-foot-high raging wave crashed down upon Mount Shu!

"Be careful!"

Master Qingwei's eyes were bloodshot, but he could only watch helplessly as the turbid floodwaters swallowed up most of the mountainside.

Dozens of disciples who had no time to dodge were instantly swept into the waves, their fate unknown.

Only Qingwei and a few elders with the highest cultivation levels managed to barely erect a light barrier in front of them.

Struggling to survive the onslaught of the flood, like a small boat in a storm.

Bai Yue looked down at all of this with indifferent eyes, as if watching a group of ants struggling in their death throes.

He slowly raised his hand, gathering even more terrifying energy in his palm, and aimed it at the Demon-Sealing Tower.

"You dare to worship the moon!"

A roar, like a thunderclap from the heavens, came from afar and instantly tore through the wind and rain!
