Fantasy: I, the Great Celestial Venerable of the Dao

The Asura King sneered: "The fusion of the six realms is the inevitable trend of Heaven. Who can control it?"

However, the cultivators in the mortal realm are indeed foolish, only knowing to focus on the movements in the mortal world, but forgetting the principle of the interdependence of yin and yang.

The ghost realm is integrated into the underworld, so they naturally cannot detect it.

"So what should we do now?" The Fire Ghost King looked at the Yama Ghost King. "The realms of gods, demons, and immortals are about to descend, and the balance of power in the six realms will be completely rewritten. Although my Ghost Realm is strong, compared to those three realms..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.

Yama, the King of Hell, tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of his throne, and after a long silence, said:

"The Ghost Realm needs to make plans soon. Asura King, go and contact those few in the Demon Realm to sound them out."

"Fire Demon King, you shall organize your demon army and prepare them for immediate deployment."

"As for the human world..." A ghostly light flashed in Yama's eyes.

"Since they haven't yet noticed the arrival of the Ghost Realm, then let them continue to hide."

When the time is right, I will take control of both the human and underworld realms in one fell swoop, at which point both will be in my hands.

Even against gods, demons, and immortals, they would have the power to contend.

The Asura King stood up, his blood-red robe fluttering without wind: "Over in the demon realm, the three demon emperors, Earth, Black, and Yellow, have gone to Mount Shu to rescue the Heavenly Demon Emperor."

If successful, the gathering of the four Demon Emperors of the Demon Realm would constitute a considerable force.

"Shushan?" Yama, the King of Hell, raised an eyebrow.

"Those Taoist priests are troublesome. But it's good to let them fight with the demon realm. A draw would be just what I want."

After discussing for a while, the three ghost kings finally transformed into a streak of blood and fled, while the fire ghost king also turned into flames and dissipated.

In the deserted Yama Palace, only Yama, the King of Hell, remained.

He gazed out at the endless darkness beyond the palace and murmured to himself, "The six realms are reunited... This time, my Ghost Realm will never again be relegated to the bottom."

The moment Dao Xuan broke through his barrier, the Spirit Pearl in his arms lit up.

Upon probing with divine sense, Dugu Yuyun's urgent voice came through:

"Master, the three Demon Kings have entered the mortal realm and are heading towards Mount Shu!"

Dao Xuan's eyes narrowed, he sheathed the Immortal Execution Sword, and his figure transformed into a stream of light, shooting out of the Illusion Moon Cave.

He must hurry to Mount Shu, lest the Demon Emperor breach the Demon-Locking Tower of Mount Shu.

If the thousands of demons within are released, chaos will surely ensue in the human world.

However, just as he was flying halfway through, an extremely powerful aura erupted from the far distance.

Although it was only a fleeting moment, it made Dao Xuan suddenly stop.

"The aura of a celestial being?!"

His expression changed drastically as he looked in the direction from which the aura was coming.

The aura was domineering, fiery, and full of fighting spirit, as if an ancient demon god had awakened.

But strangely, apart from him, a cultivator whose primordial spirit had reached the level of a celestial being.

No one in the entire human world noticed, and even the three demon emperors at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm seemed to be completely unaware.

"Who is it? There are no celestial beings in the realms of demons and ghosts, and no gods, demons, or immortals have descended upon us..."

Dao Xuan's mind raced, but he couldn't figure it out no matter what.

But the situation at Mount Shu was critical, leaving him no time to think.

Suppressing his doubts, Dao Xuan sped up his flight towards Mount Shu, but secretly gripped the Zhuxian Sword even tighter.

At the same time, Shushan has fallen into an unprecedented crisis.

The mountain-protecting formation is fully activated.

Each of the thirty-six smaller formations was illuminated with a soaring sword light.

They intertwine in the air to form a giant tai chi pattern.

But at this moment, the great formation that has protected Mount Shu for thousands of years is trembling violently under the pressure of three terrifying auras.

The three most powerful demons in the demon realm—the Earth Demon Emperor, the Black Demon Emperor, and the Yellow Demon Emperor—stood in the air, looking down at the Shu Mountain people who were on high alert.

The Earth Demon King was a burly man, clad in black and gold armor, with a rugged face.

The Xuan Yao Emperor was dressed in a green robe and had a refined appearance, but the cold light that flashed in his eyes from time to time sent chills down one's spine.

The Yellow Demon Emperor was the oldest, leaning on a withered wooden cane with a hunched back, yet the demonic aura he exuded was the most profound among the three.

"Dugu Yuyun, I will ask you one last time—"

The Earth Demon King's voice boomed like a bell, echoing through the mountains, "Will you open the Demon-Locking Tower or not?"

In front of the main hall of Shushan, Dugu Yuyun, dressed in the Taoist robes of a sect leader, stood calmly.

Behind him, the Sword Immortal Mo Yixi, Elder Yuanshen, and other high-ranking members of the Shushan sect were all present.

Further back were thousands of disciples forming a sword formation.

"The Demon-Sealing Tower is a forbidden area of ​​Mount Shu, suppressing countless demons. The three Demon Emperors wish for me to open the tower, but I am afraid I cannot comply."

Dugu Yuyun spoke calmly, but his hands were already gripping the three divine artifacts of Mount Shu, ready to be activated at any moment.

"Hahaha!" the Earth Demon King laughed loudly, "You think you can stop us with these formations?"

Xuan Yaohuang coldly said, "Brother, why waste words? Since they are so stubborn, just break the formation directly."

"Rescuing the Heavenly Demon Emperor as soon as possible will help us prepare for the upcoming war between the Six Realms."

Huang Yaohuang coughed twice, his cloudy old eyes sweeping across the area below:

"The Shu Mountain has a thousand-year-old heritage, so it does have some profound history. It's a pity... that it will end here today."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yellow Demon Emperor raised his withered palm and gently pressed it downwards.

In an instant, the world changed color!

Boundless demonic energy converged from all directions, condensing in the air into a gigantic black hand that blotted out the sky.

The palm lines were clear, the nails were like hooks, and it slowly pressed down with an aura of destruction.

It hasn't really landed yet.

The force of the palm strike had already caused the protective array's light barrier to cave inward, emitting a cracking sound as it struggled under the weight.

"Form ranks!"

Dugu Yuyun roared and made the first move.

Three divine weapons flew out from his sleeve!

The power of the three divine artifacts, combined with Dugu Yuyun's newly acquired Earth Immortal magic, transformed into a three-colored pillar of light that shot into the sky.

At the same time, hundreds of elders from Mount Shu made their moves together, and various sword lights and magical treasure lights converged into a torrent.

The sword formation composed of thousands of disciples was also operating at full capacity.

It draws upon the spiritual energy of the Shu Mountain's earth veins and infuses it into the mountain-protecting array.

boom!!!

The giant black hand collided with the full force of the Shu Mountain group's attack.

At that moment, it felt as if the sky had fallen and the earth had split open.

The space at the center of the collision shattered inch by inch, revealing dark void cracks.

The violent energy shockwave spread outwards, flattening dozens of mountain peaks surrounding Mount Shu.

Puff puff--

Those disciples of Mount Shu with weaker cultivation were instantly struck so hard they coughed up blood and fainted.

Even the elders were all flushed, clearly suffering from internal injuries.

The protective array's light shield flickered several times, but it barely held on in the end.

However, the surface is covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

"Oh? You actually managed to withstand one of my palm strikes." The Yellow Demon Emperor was slightly surprised, then sneered.

"Then let's see another strike."

He raised his hand again, and this time, the demonic energy in his palm solidified into a tangible form.

Thousands of demonic souls could be vaguely seen wailing within.

This palm strike was more than twice as powerful as the one before!

Dugu Yuyun's face turned ashen.

The Shu Mountain sect had already exhausted all its strength in that attack. If it were to do it again, the mountain-protecting formation would undoubtedly be broken!

"Disciples of Shu Mountain, heed my command—" he roared hoarsely, "Seven Star Demon-Subduing Formation, activate!"

Seven white-haired elders flew out in response, each positioned according to the Big Dipper constellation.

Behind each elder, there were forty-nine elite disciples forming a formation.

Seven sword lights shot into the sky from the seven people.

They converged in the air, transforming into a giant starlight sword a hundred feet long.
