Yellow-Rank Supreme Treasure, the Alioth Thunder Sword! (4K)
Heavenly Fire Holy Land, Huohua Cave Abode, where purple qi rises and falls.
A disciple of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land stood before a furnace ninety-nine feet tall and respectfully inquired, "True Lord, the Taihua Sacred Lord requests an audience."
Behind the stove, on a throne, sat an elderly man dressed in Qiankun Taiji Robe, his face reflecting the firelight of the stove.
"He's finally shown up."
True Lord Huohua stood up, a scorching wave of heat swept out, causing all the disciples of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land to break out in a sweat.
The disciples of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land looked at True Lord Huohua with expressions of utmost reverence.
True Lord Huohua's cultivation is unfathomable, and he holds an extremely high position in the Holy Land.
"Bring him in."
"Yes."
A short while later, led in by a disciple of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land, Lu Changsheng walked in.
"You've already reached the Great Perfection God King Realm?"
True Lord Huohua's crimson eyes swept over Lu Changsheng, and he could roughly sense Lu Changsheng's cultivation level.
Only tens of millions of years have passed, yet Lu Changsheng's cultivation level has improved far beyond what True Lord Huohua had imagined.
"You used the secret realm to cultivate?"
True Lord Huohua quickly thought of Lu Changsheng's possible experiences.
No matter how talented someone is, it's impossible to break through to the Great Perfection God King Realm in such a short time.
"True Lord, you truly are a master, discerning it at a glance. I recently made a trip to the Chaotic Realm. I wonder how the magical Law Treasure I commissioned to be forged is doing now?"
Lu Changsheng was quite humble in front of True Lord Huohua.
True Lord Huohua is a great figure in the Immortal Realm, a renowned master Artifact Refining who was famous in High Antiquity times. Many famous magical Law Treasures in the Immortal Realm were made by True Lord Huohua.
The True Lord Huohua, who is capable of crafting powerful treasures, holds a lofty position.
"The Law Treasure you commissioned me to create has already been completed, and I'm just waiting for you to claim it."
True Lord Huohua stretched out his palm, and a sword appeared in his hand. The scabbard was ancient and had complex lightning totems.
With a thought, True Lord Huohua caused the Long Sword to float up and fall into Lu Changsheng's hand.
Lu Changsheng could feel the astonishing power contained within the sword sheath simply by holding it.
The scabbard appears simple and unadorned, but it actually serves to seal the power of the Long Sword.
Lu Changsheng drew his sword.
The sword's blade was as clear as water, with a hint of purple lightning.
Rumble.
An aura of world destruction spread out, accompanied by lightning and thunder. The lightning shook the entire Huohua Cave Abode, and even the ninety-nine-foot-tall furnace trembled violently.
Silver snakes danced wildly, and lightning flashed intermittently.
If the Huohua Cave Abode wasn't protected by Formation, the mere pressure of this one Immortal Sword would have been enough to destroy it.
The furnace of True Lord Huohua was also a precious treasure, which is why it did not crack due to the lightning.
The immortal Immortal Sword was held in Lu Changsheng's hand, trembling constantly, as if trying to break free.
"Yellow-Rank Supreme Treasure!"
The Heavenly Fire Holy Land disciple who guided Lu Changsheng in Divine Fire of envious admiration.
The Yellow-Rank Supreme Treasure crafted by True Lord Huohua possesses immense power and is priceless.
Even some Initial Mighty Expert may not possess a single Yellow-Rank Supreme Treasure.
Lu Changsheng, a Great Perfection God King, obtained such a top-grade offensive Law Treasure, giving him the ability to fight even against Initial Mighty Expert Power.
True Lord Huohua said, "The Alioth Star Core contains vast thunderous power. This sword has not yet been refined, so it appears unruly. Within the sword's body is engraved the Myriad Gods Thunder Bureau Demon-Slaying Formation. Once the Human-Sword Unity, and the Divine Sword is fully activated, the Myriad Gods Thunder Bureau Demon-Slaying Formation will operate, aided by ten thousand divine thunderbolts."
"Thank you, True Lord."
Lu Changsheng put away the Alioth Thunder Sword, intending to refine it into his own Law Treasure after returning to the Taihua Sacred Ground.
Lu Changsheng only provided the Alioth Star Core as material, True Lord Huohua forged a Yellow-Rank Supreme Treasure, which shows True Lord Huohua's mastery of Artifact Refining crafting.
With the Alioth Thunder Sword, Lu Changsheng now possessed both offensive and defensive treasures.
"There are still faint traces of Devil Qi on you. Could it be that your Taihua Sacred Ground has already made a move against the Demon Realm?"
True Lord Huohua suddenly sensed a faint residual Devil Qi on Lu Changsheng's body, realizing that the Taihua Sacred Ground where Lu Changsheng was located was very likely to have broken out in a great war with the Demon Realm.
"That's exactly right."
Lu Changsheng briefly explained what had happened, True Lord Huohua frowned deeply.
"It seems our Heavenly Fire Holy Land also needs to strengthen its defenses. Starting today, we will activate the First Stage of the Mountain-Guarding Formation."
With a serious expression, True Lord Huohua quickly and secretly communicated with several First-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmasters from the Heavenly Fire Holy Land, and made the decision to activate the Mountain-Guarding Formation.
The Heavenly Fire Holy Land is an Artifact Refinement Sect in the Immortal Realm, crafting magical Law Treasures for various Holy Lands, Sects, and Immortal Dynasties. With the invasion of the Demon Realm Army, the Heavenly Fire Holy Land faces a great threat.
"Furthermore, issue a notice to Xiuzhenzhe everywhere: as long as they come to our Heavenly Fire Holy Land and help us defend Holy Land, they will all receive magical Law Treasures as a reward from our Artifact Refinement Sect."
True Lord Huohua then made a second decision.
As expected of the Artifact Refinement Sect, the Heavenly Fire Holy Land possesses a sufficient number of Law Treasures, which can be used to win over powerful figures from all walks of life.
Lu Changsheng reminded him, "The Demon Realm, under the names of the Blood Sea Hall and the Evil Extremity Sect, has recruited a group of desperate criminals. These criminals can conceal their identities and act as inside agents. Your Heavenly Fire Holy Land is recruiting powerful individuals from all walks of life to help you defend the Holy Land; remember to carefully select them."
"Thank you for reminding me, young friend."
True Lord Huohua broke out in a cold sweat.
If the Blood Sea Hall and the Evil Extremity Sect send spies to infiltrate the Heavenly Fire Holy Land, then the Heavenly Fire Holy Land will suffer the same fate, with unimaginable consequences.
"Now that the Demon Realm has launched a massive invasion, causing widespread suffering, our Holy Lands should unite as one."
"Absolutely."
"Then I'll take my leave."
Lu Changsheng obtained the Alioth Thunder Sword and then left gracefully.
"Truly a remarkable person." True Lord Huohua watched Lu Changsheng leave. "This time, the Demon Realm has come with overwhelming force. It seems it's time for the Law Treasure that our Heavenly Fire Holy Land specially crafted for this day to be unleashed."
In the Lianshan Holy Land, at the Alchemy Pagoda, the Pill Saint Suxin is refining Immortal Pill. A bronze cauldron is filled with a rich aroma of herbs, and an Immortal Pill has already taken shape inside.
This Immortal Pill gleams with Crimson luster; just a whiff of it is enough to soothe the pores and refresh the mind.
If Xiuzhenzhe at the God King Realm were present, they would be astonished by the quality of this Immortal Pill —it is a Twenty-First-Grade Immortal Pill!
Those capable of refining Twenty-First-Grade Immortal Pills are hailed as Pill Saints.
Suddenly, an aged voice resounded in Pill Saint Suxin's mind. "Disciple."
"Master, you're back?"
"Good, come to the Medicine King Tower."
"Yes."
The Pill Saint Suxin released a ball of Spirit Fire, keeping the flame in the medicine cauldron burning continuously.
Subsequently, Pill Saint Suxin appeared at the Medicine King Tower in the Lianshan Holy Land.
The Medicine King Tower stands 999 feet tall, nestled among the mountains, shrouded in mist and clouds.
At the top floor of the Medicine King Tower, a giant round table was set up, where dozens of figures were already seated. Behind these seats, on the stone walls, were murals depicting legendary, top-grade medicinal herbs.
"Master and all the senior uncles have convened Pill Saint Conference. Is there anything they wish to instruct you on?"
When Pill Saint Suxin appeared in her seat, she saw that all the important figures from the Lianshan Holy Land were already seated and realized the seriousness of the situation.
An elderly man with a long, white beard said in a low voice, "This Calamity is no small matter. Many Holy Lands have already been attacked by the Demon Realm. To be on the safe side, it is time for our Lianshan Holy Land to activate its Mountain-Guarding Formation and strictly restrict the entry and exit of Elders and disciples."
"I never imagined that even after such a devastating High Antiquity War, the Demon Realm would still harbor such wicked intentions."
" In the High Antiquity War, our Lianshan Holy Land suffered heavy casualties. Who knows how many more will perish in this Calamity?"
"This is also my concern. Therefore, I plan to organize the Pill Saint within the Holy Land to refine this kind of Medicinal Pills."
The old man took out a yellowed prescription and passed it around among the Pill Saint present.
"This... could it be?!"
"Impossible, right? This kind of Remote Antiquity Medicinal Pills, wasn't it lost to time long ago?"
"I wonder where the Pill Master obtained the prescription?"
Even the most knowledgeable Pill Saint present were greatly shocked and delighted upon seeing this yellowed prescription.
"This was something I unexpectedly obtained in a Forbidden Grounds during my travels, so I summoned you all immediately upon my return. If you can refine a pot of Medicinal Pills according to the prescription, it might be able to help the Holy Land overcome this calamity."
"We are willing to take action."
The Pill Saint of the Lianshan Holy Land were overjoyed at the sight of the hunt, and they were all eager to try their luck.
"Disciple, you are in charge of leading the other seventeen Pill Saints to refine this pill."
With a gesture, the old Pill Master directed the prescription to Pill Saint Suxin.
"My master has given the order, and though I am dull-witted, I will do my best."
The Pill Saint Suxin was not entirely confident in refining an Ancient Immortal Pill.
But since it's my master's order, I can only try my best.
Yellow Dragon Mountain, Heavenly Master Sect, with Daoist Lingqing leading the team, hurriedly returned to the Sects.
"Welcome back Elder Lingqing to the mountain."
"Elder?"
The disciples at the mountain gate were about to greet him when they saw Daoist Lingqing passing by, looking travel-worn, and had no time to respond.
The Heavenly Master Sect's Sect Master, True Lord Qingxu, was discussing matters with the Elders in the main hall when Daoist Lingqing burst in, and everyone turned to look at Daoist Lingqing.
"Lingqing, what's the matter that you're in such a panic?"
When True Lord Qingxu saw that Lingqing Daoist Lingqing had already broken through to the Ninth-Grade God King Realm, was covered in sweat and looked extremely terrified, he realized that something was wrong.
"Sect Master, the Evil Extremity Sect is expanding rapidly. All the surrounding sects that haven't joined them have been slaughtered; no one has escaped. The Evil Extremity Sect issued an ultimatum to our Yellow Dragon Mountain, demanding that we submit to Yellow Dragon Mountain within three days, or else... we Yellow Dragon Mountain..."
"Hiss..."
The Elders present turned pale and felt a chill run down their spines.
The Evil Extremity Sect has been secretly developing for many years, recruiting all sorts of vicious and wicked people from the Immortal Realm, and its strength has become rampant.
The Blood Sea Hall cultivates its blood arts through slaughter, enhancing its power in the pursuit of Changsheng Never Dies.
The Evil Extremity Sect, on the other hand, takes pleasure in killing, while cultivation is secondary.
Compared to the Blood Sea Hall, the Evil Extremity Sect, a purebred evil sect, is even more troublesome.
"Sect Master, what should we do?"
"The Evil Extremity Sect has grown to such a point that it is probably difficult for our Yellow Dragon Mountain Heavenly Master Sect alone to contend with it. We have three days left, and perhaps we can relocate the entire Sects to the Holy Land for refuge."
True Lord Qingxu tapped the armrest with two fingers, and after much deliberation, made the safest choice.
Aside from the Heavenly Court's Hundred Thousand Divine Palaces and various Holy Lands, the Yellow Dragon Mountain Heavenly Master Sect is not considered weak among other Human Race Sects.
However, the Heavenly Master Sect was still unable to contend with the Blood Sea Hall and the Evil Extremity Sect, which were supported by the Demon Realm.
"The Holy Land is stronger than us, so relocating Holy Land for refuge would be ideal. But which Holy Land should we go to? And which Holy Land would be willing to take in our Heavenly Master Sect?"
The Elders of the Heavenly Master Sect all chimed in with their opinions.
"When the Taihua Sacred Lord ascended the throne last time, our Heavenly Master Sect also went to offer our congratulations. Since Xiaoyao is the Taihua Sacred Lord's Personal Disciple, we can go to the Taihua Sacred Ground to seek refuge. What do you think?"
"I've heard that the Household Ancestor Lin and Jiang Clan Ancestors of the Taihua Sacred Ground have recently broken through to Changsheng Never Dies after years of seclusion. The Taihua Sacred Ground now has two powerful figures, greatly increasing its strength. Furthermore, the Taihua Goddess’s Younger Sister founded the Taihua Sacred Ground is still alive and possesses the Mountain-Guarding Divine Formation left behind by the Taihua Goddess. With the strength of the Taihua Sacred Ground, we should be able to find refuge there."
"That's right. Besides, our Heavenly Master Sect is quite powerful. We'll be contributing when we go to join them, so the Taihua Sacred Ground should take us in."
"There is no time to lose. Please, Sect Master, give the order immediately so that all Elders and disciples can begin the relocation."
"Then..."
True Lord Qingxu was about to use his inner energy to notify all his disciples to pack their belongings and prepare to leave Yellow Dragon Mountain, True Lord Qingxu expression suddenly changed. He unconsciously looked ahead, his gaze seemingly piercing through Spacetime, seeing a scene a hundred miles away.
"Sect Master, what's wrong?"
"Things might be getting out of hand; everyone, get to your best."
True Lord Qingxu held his breath, adjusted his breathing, and became extremely solemn.
"Hahaha, those Heavenly Master Sect who dare not submit will all die!"
The arrogant voice boomed like thunder, echoing through the Firmament and startling all the Elders and disciples.
"What happened?"
That's Devil Qi!
Could it be that the Demon Realm Army is invading?
The disciples of the Heavenly Master Sect looked at the summit of Yellow Dragon Mountain in terror, only to see Devil Qi churning like dark clouds, obscuring the sky and the sun.
A group of Demons rode the clouds, looking down at the crowd below as if they were prey.
"The Demon of the Evil Extremity Sect has arrived!"
True Lord Qingxu led the Elders, including Daoist Lingqing, to mid-air to confront the Demons of the Evil Extremity Sect.
The Demons of the Evil Extremity Sect all had mocking and cynical expressions.
Daoist Lingqing stepped forward. "Didn't your Evil Extremity Sect agree to give our Heavenly Master Sect three days to consider?"
"Haha, you actually believed me after I said that? What an idiot!"
"Ha ha!!"
The Evil Extremity Sect Demon all burst into laughter.
"You, you all..."
Daoist Lingqing's face turned pale.
He'd been tricked.
The Evil Extremity Sect Demon is indeed utterly wicked and has no credibility whatsoever.
The Evil Extremity Sect issued an ultimatum to the Heavenly Master Sect in advance, yet immediately came knocking on their door, clearly intending to torment the Heavenly Master Sect and taking pleasure in it.
"Lingqing, don't let them lead you by the nose. The more you do this, the more excited they'll become." True Lord Qingxu, experienced as he was, knew there was no point in reasoning with these Demons. "Prepare to activate the Mountain-Guarding Formation of our Yellow Dragon Mountain."
"Yes."
The Elders of the Heavenly Master Sect were somewhat relieved to hear that the Mountain-Guarding Formation would be used.
This is a great formation left behind by their Heavenly Master Sect's founder; it can vanquish all demons.
