This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Qingfeng felt a moment of disorientation, and the scene before him was completely different.

The Xuanhuang Ancient Road disappeared, replaced by an incredibly brutal battlefield.

The ground beneath their feet was shattered, and the distant mountains had collapsed.

The rivers and lakes have dried up, the sky has collapsed and the earth has caved in.

Blood stained the sky, and corpses lay scattered across the shattered earth—some human, some beastly, and many others whose races Qingfeng couldn't even recognize.

The entire battlefield was filled with an ancient and desolate atmosphere.

The sky was filled with shattered void cracks.

The river of time and space has become chaotic, as if the end of the world has arrived.

"Humanity...should be exterminated..."

Just as Qingfeng was lost in thought, a deep voice suddenly startled him awake.

Following the sound, Qingfeng looked towards the source and saw a terrifying figure, thousands of feet tall, walking step by step from the broken mountain range in the distance.

Each step he took shattered a mountain peak and killed countless lives.

This thing is neither human nor beast. Although it walks upright like a human, it has two heads and four arms.

Its face resembles that of a human, but it has only one eye and one mouth; the other facial features are not visible.

It has a single horn on its head, blood-red skin all over its body, and a blood-red aura surrounding it.

Wherever it goes, everything tangible is completely annihilated by the aura emanating from it.

With each breath, a vast amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth is inhaled and exhaled.

With a single grasp of its giant claw, the void shattered directly in its palm.

Although it was at least hundreds of miles away, Qingfeng was still shocked by its aura, feeling his breath catch in his throat and a great sense of panic rising in his heart.

"What...is this?"

Qingfeng couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"The Great Prison Asura King has appeared! This is a powerful figure capable of contending with an Immortal Emperor. This defensive line is likely to fall..."

Just as the gentle breeze was stirring, a series of noisy sounds rang in my ears.

He subconsciously turned around and was surprised to find that there were quite a few people standing around him.

Judging from their attire, each of them was wearing armor and standing in neat formation, just like soldiers waiting to charge into battle on the battlefield.

Qingfeng was taken aback, his gaze falling on himself.

He discovered that he himself was also wearing the same armor, holding a standard-issue spear and sword.

"Is this...a war?"

Qingfeng immediately realized that this was a test from the Xuanhuang Ancient Path.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how this battlefield came to be.

As I was pondering this, I suddenly heard a slight tremor from the ground.

It seemed as if thousands of horses were galloping.

Looking up, Qingfeng saw a vast, colorful wave surging towards the horizon, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Upon closer inspection, the waves were actually composed of countless creatures of all kinds.

These creatures come in various forms; some are quite similar to humans, while others are almost entirely beast-like.

But they all have one thing in common: the mad bloodlust and killing intent in their eyes.

Even more terrifying, Qingfeng judged from the aura emanating from these creatures that they were all powerful beings comparable to martial arts immortals.

Hundreds of thousands of Earth Immortals flocked to the scene. If such a force were to be placed in the real world, even the Heavenly Court, the number one power in the Xuanhuang Great World, would probably be crushed and shattered in an instant.

Qingfeng glanced back at his own camp, looked around, and saw that it was also an endless line of people, mostly experts at the Earth Immortal level.

The leading generals were even comparable to the God of War.

However, the aura emanating from these people seemed to be different from the internal energy of martial arts practitioners, exhibiting a greater vitality and energy, and appearing to be closer to the original form of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Of course, it is also different from the magical power cultivated by Taoist practitioners.

Thinking of this, Qingfeng immediately looked inward at his own body.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the magic flowing through his body was still the familiar power he knew.

Just looking at the approaching alien army, even with Qingfeng's composure, he couldn't help but feel immense pressure.

Who knows if the trials of the Xuanhuang Ancient Path will actually result in death?

If I were to die here, it would be a huge loss...

"All troops, listen to my command! Youzhou and Mingzhou have both fallen. We, the defenders of Huangzhou, are the last bulwark of the human race in the Nine Provinces. Even if we fight to the last man, we must not allow any of the hundred races to set foot in Huangzhou..."

"Humanity...will prevail..."

A deep, resonant voice echoed throughout the entire army.

Following the sound, Qingfeng looked up and saw a middle-aged man with shimmering light around him roaring fiercely in the sky at the forefront of the army.

This person's aura was extremely powerful, even more so than the three ghost gods that Qingfeng had encountered before, who were comparable to martial gods.

His voice seemed to carry a certain inspiring power, and even the breeze couldn't help but feel excited when it heard it.

"Humanity will prevail..."

"Humanity will prevail..."

"Humanity will prevail..."

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers roared in unison, their voices soaring into the sky and scattering the dark clouds.

Let the brilliant sunshine shine on the earth.

Under the sunlight, the general's aura became even stronger. He turned around, stomped his foot lightly, and the air trembled, causing his aura to surge once more.

He pointed a long spear forward and roared:

"kill..."

The army behind them roared in unison, "Kill..."

In an instant, streaks of light shot into the sky, heading towards the surging 'wave' in the distance.

The gentle breeze was swept along by the crowd and had no choice but to rush forward.

He discovered that the soldiers around him were very different from the martial arts immortals he had imagined in their fighting methods.

The spears in their hands can gather the power within their bodies to unleash a beam of extremely powerful light.

In addition, these people possess many amazing supernatural powers and secret techniques, which have a similar effect to the magic of their Taoist sect.

Rather than engaging in close combat like martial artists, they rely on their powerful physique as their primary means of attack.

Qingfeng suddenly remembered an extremely ancient legend about the Xuanhuang Great World.

It is said that before the martial arts civilization, the Xuanhuang Great World followed a cultivation path called the Immortal Path, so that era was also known as the Immortal Ancient Era.

However, there are very few records about the ancient era, as that era is too far removed from the present day.

Even the written records that have survived are pitifully few.

Therefore, no one knows what the cultivation methods of the Immortal Ancient Era were like.

"Could this war have happened in the ancient times?"

Qingfeng wondered in surprise.

The moment this thought crossed their minds, the two armies were already locked in direct combat.

If you look into the distance, it's as if you see two enormous waves, one golden and one black and red, colliding head-on.

In just a moment, waves splashed everywhere.

Every single drop of water that splashes out represents a vibrant life.
