Destruction of Demonic Thoughts Invades the Island, Tongtian's Wrath, Chaos Slashes Evil Clean

Waves churned unpredictably across the East Sea. The vast and misty immortal spectacle of past days was gone, replaced by a sense of dead silence and oppression. The seawater was dark, faintly exuding an ominous fishy stench, and leaden clouds hung low across the sky, as if they would collapse at any moment. Even the spiritual qi flowing through the air carried a faint, unsettling sense of erosion.

This was all the impact brought by the Return Ruins Demonic Calamity, as demonic qi had begun slowly seeping into the Primordial World. At the center of this oppressive sea area, the island that bore the endless glory and sorrow of Interception Sect—Golden Ao Island—was now enveloped by a faint, flesh-to-eye invisible layer of black mist. This black mist was not ordinary water vapor, but was formed from pure Otherworld Demonic Qi, twisting light and cutting off spiritual sense, making the entire island resemble a ghost domain with its internal conditions unknown.

A dark gray stream of light tore through the vast sky, fiercely descending above Golden Ao Island at a speed that surpassed teleportation! The stream of light dissipated, revealing Tongtian's tall and cold figure.

He hovered above the black mist, his gaze like lightning, instantly piercing that layer of demonic qi barrier to clearly see the scene inside the island!

He saw that among the ruins of the island, countless demonic beasts condensed from demonic qi with twisted and ferocious forms were frantically assaulting a dilapidated defensive grand array of Biyou Palace! This grand array had clearly been recently repaired and activated by Saint Mother Wudang, but its power fell far short of its peak state. Under the unsparing assaults of the demonic beasts, the light barrier flickered violently and teetered on the verge of collapse.

At the core of the array, Saint Mother Wudang's face was pale, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth as she did everything in her power to keep the array running. Beside her stood several cultivators whose auras were no weaker, but who were just as disheveled. Judging by their cultivation methods, they were none other than the Interception Sect remnants she had recently contacted!

Beneath a certain ruin in the deepest part of the island, an even more obscure yet purer and more powerful dark demonic thought was drilling like a bit, attempting to break through an ancient earthly vein seal. Its target was shockingly that Otherworld fluctuation beneath the seal, which was of the same origin as the one glimpsed by Myriad Worlds Mirror, yet even more active!

Just as I thought! Tongtian's murderous intent surged violently! The purpose of this demonic thought avatar was twofold: first, to disrupt the actions of Wudang and the others, and second, to seize or release the Otherworld entity beneath Golden Ao Island!

"Abomination! Die!" He did not hesitate in the least, nor did he need any warning! The majestic imposing manner of a Quasi-Saint Peak descended with a bang like a volcanic eruption! The sea area surrounding the entire Golden Ao Island abruptly caved downward, forming a huge vortex!

He brought his fingers together like a sword, and with a single, simple slash downward toward the churning demonic qi below!

"Chaos Opens Heaven Slash!" There was no flashy technique name, only the most ultimate concentration of power! A dark gray sword aura, merely a zhang in length and refined to the extreme, appeared out of thin air! This sword aura looked small, yet it contained the supreme mighty power to open the chaos and resettle earth, water, fire, and wind! Wherever it passed, space was annihilated silently, leaving behind a pure track of nothingness!

Swoosh—! That demonic qi barrier, sufficient to cut off Da Luo spiritual sense, was sliced open from the middle with effortless ease before this Chaos Sword Aura like a hot knife through butter! The sword aura did not diminish in momentum, slashing directly into the mountains and earth on the island!

Rumble!!! The earth trembled violently! Wherever the sword aura passed, ferocious demonic beasts, broken walls, and hard mountain rocks alike were all reduced to the most basic particles and dissipated! A bottomless abyss instantly appeared on Golden Ao Island, extending from one end of the island to the other and directly cleaving the island in two!

Countless demonic beasts were annihilated into ashes under this terrifying sword! The demonic tide attacking the array was cleared in an instant!

Saint Mother Wudang and the others inside the array stared dumbfounded at this heaven-shaking and earth-shattering sword. Feeling that familiar yet incomparably powerful aura, they were stunned at first, and then burst into wild joy!

"It's Master! Master has returned!" Wudang's voice choked up, and she was exceptionally excited. Those few Interception Sect remnants had tears welling in their eyes, as if they had found their backbone. However, this sword did not strike the demonic thought avatar in the deepest part. The moment the sword aura descended, that demonic thought melted into the shadows of the earthly veins like a ghost, narrowly avoiding the sharp edge.

"Hmph! Tail-hiding and head-concealing foreign scumbags!" Tongtian snorted coldly, his figure flickering as he appeared above the island, his cold gaze locking onto a certain spot in the earthly veins.

That demonic thought avatar also seemed to know that hiding was useless, and a spiritual fluctuation filled with violence and greed came from underground: "The aura of Chaos Green Lotus, and the world origin, hand them over, or destruction."

Accompanied by the spiritual fluctuation, that demonic thought abruptly rushed out from underground, transforming into a terrifying shadow without a fixed form composed of pure darkness and countless twisted eyeballs. Radiating a powerful pressure comparable to the Late Quasi-Saint, it lunged toward Tongtian! It seemed extremely eager for the Chaos Bead and lotus aura on Tongtian's body!

"With just a rootless duckweed of a demonic thought like you, you dare to covet my supreme treasures?" Tongtian's gaze was disdainful; he didn't even use the Chaos Bead, merely raising his hand to punch outward!

The punch brought chaos along with it! A huge Chaos Vortex formed in front of his fist edge, radiating a terrifying Devouring Power!

The demonic thought avatar crashed into the vortex, instantly emitting a piercing spiritual screeching sound as its dark energy was frantically torn apart and devoured by the Chaos Vortex! It attempted to pollute the vortex with demonic qi, but the Power of Chaos was at an extremely high tier, and its pollution had no effect whatsoever!

"Impossible! Why can the power of this realm restrain our race—" The demonic thought avatar was both alarmed and angry, struggling frantically.

"A frog at the bottom of a well, how can you know the vastness of chaos!" Tongtian's fist momentum shifted, turning his fist into a palm with his five fingers spread open, and the dark gray Chaos Netherworld Magic Power closed in abruptly like five heavenly pillars!

"Chaos Imprisoning Heaven Palm!" The five gigantic magic power fingers instantly gripped that demonic thought avatar firmly in the palm of his hand! No matter how it crashed about, it could not break free!

Tongtian felt the struggling power coming from his palm, and a trace of strange light flashed in his eyes. The energy structure of this demonic thought avatar was extremely bizarre, completely different from the Primordial system, and was filled with aggressiveness and exclusiveness. Yet precisely because of this, its power was not sufficiently rounded and harmonious, and it was firmly restrained by his all-embracing Primordial Power.

"Soul search!" Without the slightest hesitation, his powerful and peerless spiritual sense forcefully invaded the core of the demonic thought avatar to plunder its memories, investigate Otherworld intelligence, and find the specific purpose of this infiltration!

"Roar! The Sovereign will not let—" The demonic thought avatar emitted a final, malice-filled spiritual roar, after which the memory information at its core flooded into Tongtian's mind like a breached dike!

A large number of chaotic, crazy, and destruction-desire-filled fragments of images flashed by: an endless dark void, countless terrifying demon gods of various forms, an indescribably huge "nest" seemingly piled up from countless world wrecks, and a cold, hungry, terrifying will that surpassed all demon gods...

There was also some scattered information regarding the Primordial World: the weak points of the Return Ruins barrier, several hidden demonic qi nodes within the Primordial World, and a coordinate pointing to some hidden corner of the Heavenly Court?!

Tongtian's heart shook violently! The Otherworld's infiltration of the Primordial World had actually reached such a degree?! Even the interior of the Heavenly Court had its nodes? That coordinate...

Just as he wanted to further investigate that coordinate information, the core of the demonic thought avatar abruptly erupted with an extremely terrifying self-destruction will!

Boom! The imprisoned demonic thought avatar exploded with a bang! The violent demonic qi impacted Tongtian's chaos palm!

Tongtian let out a muffled grunt, his palm loosening slightly as most of the memory information dissipated along with it, leaving him only enough time to grab a few most critical images and that vague coordinate.

The demonic qi scattered completely, and the demonic thought avatar had completely vanished.

Tongtian stood on the spot, digesting the information he had obtained with a solemn expression. Although he had eliminated this avatar, the sense of crisis in his heart grew even heavier. The strength and scheming of the Otherworld far exceeded expectations.

He raised his hand and waved, and Chaos Qi swept across the entire Golden Ao Island, thoroughly purifying the residual demonic qi and traces of demonic beasts. Although the island had been cleaved in two by his sword, the core of the earthly veins remained undamaged, and instead, because the demonic qi had been cleared, it revealed a trace of long-lost clarity.

"Master!" Saint Mother Wudang withdrew the array and flew forward with several remnants to bow in greeting.

Tongtian's gaze swept over them, and he nodded slightly: "You've worked hard. This place is not suitable for a long stay; since the Otherworld has already set its sights here, there may be trouble following this."

He looked toward the cleaved abyss, and then sensed the resealed earth below, pondering: "The object beneath the island is of great significance; it is advisable to seal it temporarily. Wudang, lead the fellow disciples who are willing to follow and evacuate Golden Ao Island immediately, heading to the North Sea Continent Ancient Battlefield secret realm to rendezvous with Sanxiao. It is temporarily safe there."

"Understood, Master!" Wudang immediately complied.

"Master, then you..." A remnant couldn't help asking.

Tongtian raised his head, looking toward the direction of the Thirty-Three Heavens, cold light flashing in his eyes: "Me? Naturally, I am going where I should go. Some rats hiding in the dark need to be cleaned up."

That coordinate pointing to the Heavenly Court was like a poisonous thorn that he could not ignore.

He had to go and confirm just to what extent the interior of the Heavenly Court had been infiltrated! This concerned the safety of the entire Primordial defense line!

The next moment, his figure soared into the sky, transforming into a stream of light and heading straight for the South Heaven Gate!

The matter of Golden Ao Island was concluded, but a greater storm was about to be stirred up in the Heavenly Court because of this return of his!
