Mount Shu's Unprecedented Crisis

Ten years later, deep within the Million Mountains of the Desolate Province, in the Demon Race Divine Hall, the Rogue Cultivator Desolate Province Demon Race gathered and were divided into Four Divisions by the Demon Lord, each led by Demon General.

A figure clung to a Heaven tree, holding Sixth-Grade Talisman "Spirit Concealment Talisman" in his hand, blending into the surrounding Ancient Wood to avoid being detected by the rogue Rogue Cultivators of the Demon Race.

Three plumes of black mist came from the north and landed in the Demon Race Divine Hall.

As the black mist dissipated, the Three Great Demon Sects— the Hehuan Sect Master, the Myriad Poison Valley Valley Master, Demon-Summoning Devil Palace Palace Master— appeared.

Even the rogue Rogue Cultivator the Desolate Province Demon Race couldn't help but show fear when they saw these Three Great Demon Sects.

The Three Great Demon Sects possessed cultivation levels of at least the Ninth Layer of the Void Refinement Realm, surpassing the vast majority of Desolate Province Demon Race.

"The Three Great Demon Sects actually appeared at the Demon Race Divine Hall. Master's premonition was right; the Demon Lord is indeed about to make a big move."

Chen Xiaoyao dared not emit even the slightest aura.

Once discovered by the Demon Lord and the Three Great Demon Sects sect leaders, the situation would be extremely dangerous for someone with Chen Xiaoyao's cultivation level at the Dao Palace Realm.

Chen Xiaoyao Child of Destiny, always managing to Turning Misfortune into Fortune and survive, so Lu Changsheng often sends Chen Xiaoyao out to gather intelligence.

Chen Xiaoyao's Mid-Grade Heaven Stage Cultivation Method, "Ten-Thousand-Mile Tracking Technique at its Great Perfection," is first-rate whether for tracking or escaping.

Lu Changsheng gave Chen Xiaoyao several Spirit Concealment Talisman, Earth-Escaping Divine Talisman, Shrinking Earth to Inches Talisman, and a Ninth-Grade Close-at-Hand Ends-of-the-World Talisman, and then sent Chen Xiaoyao to the Desolate Province to gather intelligence as a training exercise.

"Demon Lord, have your injuries fully healed? If this continues, our Three Great Sects will soon be annihilated by Mount Shu."

"After the Reincarnation Hall was destroyed, our Hehuan Sect suffered another heavy blow, but fortunately I managed to escape in time."

The Hehuan Sect Master spoke with dissatisfaction.

Over the past decade, Mount Shu has frequently taken action, leading other sects to attack the remaining three major Three Great Demon Sects Three Great Demon Sects, causing them heavy losses.

The Demon Lord remained focused on recovering from his injuries and refrained from making any rash moves.

The Demon-Summoning Devil Palace Palace Master said ominously, "Our Demon-Summoning Devil Palace's Secret Method have thus been interrupted."

The Myriad Poison Valley Valley Master said in a soft, sinister voice, "Mount Shu claims to be the leader of the righteous sects and has repeatedly interfered with our cultivation of divine skills. It's time to destroy Mount Shu."

The Demon Lord inside the Demon Race Divine Hall seemed to hear the complaints of the Three Great Demon Sects sect leaders. The entire temple trembled violently, and a vast expanse of Demon Qi spread, blotting out the sky and the sun.

The Rogue Cultivators of the Desolate Province stared in horror at the overwhelming Demon Qi.

The Demon Lord's cultivation level has reached an unbelievable level.

Even the three complaining Hehuan Sect Master —the Hehuan Sect Master, the Myriad Poison Valley Valley Master, Demon-Summoning Devil Palace Palace Master —fell silent.

The Hehuan Sect Master's expression changed slightly. "The Demon Lord's aura is truly astonishing."

Hidden in the shadows, Chen Xiaoyao dared not make a sound.

The Demon Qi quickly dissipated, and a fiery red-haired, Demon Lord emerged from the temple, his brows revealing Sole Supremacy arrogance that declared, "Now that my Demon Race has mastered its divine arts, Mount Shu can be destroyed with a flick of the finger."

"Hehe, Mount Shu is finished this time."

The Demon-Summoning Devil Palace Palace Master sneered. The Demon Lord was on their side. If the Demon Lord made a move, Mount Shu, an obstacle blocking the cultivation of Great Demon, could be eliminated.

"This is bad, I must return to my sect as soon as possible."

Chen Xiaoyao sensed that the Demon Lord's aura was even more terrifying than that of the Mount Shu Sect Master, and was secretly shocked, breaking out in a cold sweat.

As long as the Demon Lord is not completely killed, his cultivation level will continue to rise.

Despite being injured twice by his Uncle-Master Sect Leader, the Demon Lord's cultivation level has advanced by leaps and bounds; he is simply a prodigy.

"Wait, Old Servant beside the Demon Lord? His aura is second only to the Demon Lord..."

Chen Xiaoyao noticed that there was an old man with Horns on his forehead next to the Demon Lord. This old man was vigorous, had a full Heavenly Court, and a long breath. He was definitely not a kind person.

After the Demon Lord and the Three Great Demon Sects entered the temple to discuss matters, Chen Xiaoyao used the Earth-Escaping Divine Talisman to escape from the place and returned to Mount Shu with the information.

At Misty Peak, amidst the mountains, Su Qian'er, the Pavilion Master of Ask Immortal Pavilion, stood in flowing white robes, surrounded by Meticulously Arranged Formation, with the Grand Supreme Elders of the Ask Immortal Pavilion Guardian.

"Master, are you really going to take this final step?"

Xia Ningxue carried the Immortal Sword and watched her master Su Qian'er, enter the place where Tribulation Transcendence.

Su Qian'er still had one or two thousand years of lifespan left before reaching the Void Refinement Realm Lifespan Limit, yet she chose to Tribulation Transcendence at this time.

"I have a premonition that Calamity is imminent. Only by reaching the Dao Integration Realm can one influence the overall situation. As the Pavilion Master, I have an inescapable responsibility. Furthermore, I am unwilling to lose to the Mount Shu Sect Master."

With a resolute look in her eyes, Su Qian'er stepped into the Tribulation-Crossing Ground, preparing to face the Sixfold Heavenly Tribulation.

Dark clouds gathered above Misty Peak, and a terrifying Sixfold Heavenly Tribulation was brewing.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning ripped through the Firmament, illuminating Xia Ningxue's stunning profile.

Ask Immortal Pavilion the impending danger, the Pavilion Master of Ask Immortal Pavilion resolutely attempted to undergo the Tribulation Transcendence without making thorough preparations.

Boundless Temple, a Heaven-Reaching Divine Temple thousands of feet high, radiates boundless Buddha Light, its influence extending to several countries. An endless Power of Faith flows into the temple from its top.

At the highest level, shrouded in a sea of clouds, a gaunt, meditating monk resembles a terrifying black hole, devouring the faith of all living beings.

Footsteps sounded, and High Person Wuxiang of Boundless Temple Abbot appeared. Seeing that the meditating monk had no breath and was like an empty shell, he couldn't help but sigh, "Calamity is coming, and your cultivation of this Neither-Life-Nor-Death Divine Art has reached a critical juncture. I hope that our Boundless Temple can survive this calamity."

Mount Shu, Chen Xiaoyao returned from the Desolate Province. Following his master's instructions before going into seclusion, he first reported the information he had gathered in the Desolate Province to the Sect Master.

At Myriad Sword Peak, Taiyuan True Person and the Uncle-Master Sect Leader had solemn expressions after hearing the information brought back by Chen Xiaoyao.

The Demon Lord's injuries were completely healed, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and his strength became unfathomable.

Situ Kong said gravely, "With the Pan-Nirvana Phoenix Body and the Ancient Cauldron obtained by the Demon Lord, it's truly difficult to kill him. If this continues, he will be invincible."

Taiyuan True Person's eyes were profound. "This time, we must Body and Spirit Annihilation. Our only plan now is to deliberately lure the Demon Lord to attack our Mount Shu. Only then, with the help of the Mountain-Guarding Formation, can we possibly destroy the Demon Lord. The Mount Shu's Mountain-Guarding Formation was laid down by the Dao Ancestor. Even after hundreds of thousands of years, successive sect Sect Master and Grand Supreme Elders have tried to repair Formation ... The Mountain-Guarding Formation incredibly powerful. The only pity is that the two of us may not be able to unleash its full Law Power ..."

"Your disciple is currently in seclusion?"

"Um."

"We might need this boy to deal with the Demon Lord. I'll try my best to severely injure the Demon Lord."

Situ Kong abandoned his usual languid demeanor, his eyes sharp as he gazed southward.

Chen Xiaoyao returned to Azure Cloud Peak. His Senior Brother was practicing his sword in the Bamboo Grove, his third Senior Sister was reading by the stream, and his Fifth Junior Sister was lazily dozing off on the Wooden Table. Her fox tail swayed from time to time. Everything was normal, and there was no worry about the Calamity.

Above Azure Cloud Peak, purple qi swirled for eight thousand miles.

My master recently went into seclusion, supposedly to try and break through to the Ninth Layer of the Void Refinement Realm.

Once you reach the Ninth Layer of the Void Refinement Realm, you are only one step away from the Dao Integration Realm.
