Common Peril! The Heavenly Dao's Sect-Destroying Calamity

A golden bead and a wisp of smoke quietly emerged from the dimly lit depths of the forest.

The golden beads spun and drifted towards the fishing village on the coast, while the blue smoke swept towards the dragon beast in the bay.

As they approached the fishing village, the golden bead flashed with a blue light. Chen Dengming, who was hiding inside the golden bead using the Golden Escape Technique, keenly sensed that Formation had been set up nearby.

He had already studied the "Essentials of Formation Array Deployment and Creation" and, with the rapid assistance of his several clones, was no longer a novice in the art of Formation. In addition, with the powerful insight of his Heavenly Eye, even though the enemy's Formation was well hidden, he was still able to perceive and detect it in advance.

He used his Gold Control Technique beads, quickly making them float around the small fishing village, searching for gaps and weaknesses in the Formation.

In the woods behind, Gongshu Zai Zaiqiang remained calm and focused intently on the location of the fishing village.

Once he received Chen Dengming's signal, he would immediately rush out to intercept a Golden Core cultivator. At this moment, he kept encouraging himself and boosting his morale.

"Junior Brother Chen said that neither of those two Golden Core cultivators was at the Golden Core Late Stage; one Golden Core Mid Stage and the other at the Golden Core Early Stage. I'm doing my best to hold off one Golden Core Early Stage cultivator. The pressure isn't too great, not too great."

After Jinzhu circled the fishing village and observed it, Chen Dengming felt quite troubled.

"This Formation is well-designed; unless it's destroyed from the inside, the only way to break in from the outside is by force."

He observed through his Heavenly Eye that his Third Martial Uncle, Su Yan Yan, was approaching the coastline ahead, about ten miles away from the dragon beast, and was quietly getting closer.

A distance of ten miles can be traversed in less than two breaths for Nascent Soul True Lord to travel at.

Therefore, he was ready to cooperate with his Third Martial Uncle in taking action.

With this thought in mind, Chen Dengming no longer hesitated, entering a state of the Heavenly Heart Realm, and transmitted his voice to Su Yan Yan.

"Third Martial Uncle, we have no choice but to force our way in. We can start now!"

He finished transmitting his voice less than half a breath later.

On the distant sea, Su Yan Yan, who was in the state of misty mist magic, suddenly appeared and abruptly activated the Law Treasure Thunderous Cyan Gold Bead.

In an instant, a vast spiritual power spread out.

A loud whoosh—a deafening roar, like rolling thunder, and the stampede of ten thousand horses.

A stunning Thunderbolt Arc, accompanied by a golden bead, struck the dragon beast in the waves with lightning speed.

It collapsed--

The immense power of lightning instantly unleashed countless waves, like a pack of enraged lions, fiercely pouncing towards the dragon beast.

"Roar!--"

A deafening, deep Dragon's Roar suddenly erupted, the sound waves vibrating the surrounding sea, churning and roaring like boiling water, and suddenly splashing up dozens of feet high like a giant wall, radiating intense spiritual light, blocking the dragon beast.

With a loud boom, the giant wall formed by the water waves and Spiritual Qi was instantly illuminated by Thunderbolt Arc, radiating high temperature and glowing light, red and bright, just like a wall of flames suddenly rising from the sea.

With a 'bang,' the wall of fire tore apart and exploded under the enormous impact, like a lotus flower blooming in an instant, truly a spectacle of flying pearls and jade.

With a whoosh--

One wave subsides, another rises.

More than a dozen giant waves roared and surged, suddenly slicing towards Su Yan Yan, who was floating on the sea surface.

Like a dozen or so wild horses with their white manes standing on end, charging wildly.

As Su Yan Yan made a hand seal, a flash of azure-gold lightning appeared, and her entire body instantly transformed into an arc of electricity with a crackling sound. She passed through more than a dozen swirling giant waves, tearing the water waves into fine water droplets, and sped away into the distance.

"Roar!--"

Huge waves surged and roared on the sea.

The dragon beast's massive body, radiating intense pressure, burst out of the water, unleashing a terrifying aura as it roared and chased after Su Yan Yan.

In an instant, the dragon emerged from the clouds, the clouds swallowed the waves, and the waves crashed against the clouds, as if they were swirling into a huge tide on the sea, resembling thousands of piles of broken snow and tens of thousands of chaotic clouds, chasing after thunder and lightning. The scene was magnificent and astonishing.

A clamor of surprise and astonishment erupted from the small fishing village.

One by one, the cultivators living in the fishing village rushed out of their houses, looking in shock at the turbulent scene in the distance.

Each person was shaken to their core by the two terrifying spiritual forces that spread outwards.

Boom!--

A coral reef, whipped by the dragon's tail, shot towards the shore like a cannonball, crashing heavily onto the beach and sending sand flying and tumbling.

"Nascent Soul True Lord! Why is Nascent Soul True Lord suddenly attacking the Dragon Venerable?"

"Could it be a Nascent Soul expert from overseas?"

Many cultivators instinctively flew out of the fishing village, wanting to chase after them and check the situation.

One of the Golden Core with Fly Whisk, who was holding a whisk, suddenly sensed something was wrong.

If Nascent Soul True Lord has already attacked the Dragon Venerable, what about this group of people?

"Watch out for enemy attack! Everyone, get back!"

Golden Core with Fly Whisk, let out a powerful shout, veins bulging on his neck, and quickly made his way back to the fishing village.

He had only retreated a dozen or so feet when he seemed to sense the movement. Without even glancing at it, he immediately formed a protective hand seal.

A point of Golden Light rapidly magnified in the corner of his eye.

The next moment, it pierced through his defenses and, with its remaining force, struck the black stone shield that expanded from his robes.

'Click!--'

In a flash of Silver Light, the black stone protective shield shattered.

The golden bead, like a bolt of lightning of gold and silver, pierced through his chest, tearing a wound as thick as an infant's arm, from which a large amount of blood immediately gushed out.

The Golden Core with Fly Whisk, roared and clutched his chest as he retreated.

Suddenly, he activated his Law Treasure Rock Shield, to intercept in front of him, which quickly formed a dark stone shield.

However, instead of spinning back, the golden pearl suddenly revealed Chen Dengming's figure.

He let out a long roar, his eyes flashing with a silver light, like Divine Weapon.

The Divine Sense power transformed from the Shocking Eye Tribulation was so real that it pierced through the stone shield and penetrated the mind of the Golden Core Cultivator opposite, striking heavily into the depths of his soul.

"Ah!--"

The Golden Core with Fly Whisk cried out in agony, his defenses shattered by the relentless onslaught.

Before he could even activate his Law Treasure to counterattack...

Chen Dengming had already instantly cast the Puppet Technique with a simple hand seal.

A large amount of Wood Elemental Spiritual Energy rapidly gathered in the air, taking advantage of the opponent's wavering mind to quickly invade their body and forcibly control them.

Just then, roars, accompanied by the sounds of Law Technique and Law Treasure artifacts piercing the air, and the overwhelming spiritual power, arrived.

The other enemy cultivators also reacted quickly, and led by another Golden Core Cultivator, they surrounded and attacked Chen Dengming.

A fierce gust of wind, whipped up by a barrage of attacks, swept in.

Chen Dengming hummed softly, then pointed at the ten Myriad Gold Pearl with his fingers.

Instantly, the golden bead hummed and trembled, spinning rapidly and radiating brilliant Golden Light.

The golden pearl, exquisite and dazzling, rang out with a clear sound, deterring the enemy!

In an instant, Myriad Gold Pearl transformed into an oval, egg-shaped protective shield, enveloping Chen Dengming within it.

Only the Daoist priest Fuchen, who was being invaded and controlled by the Puppet Technique, was exposed. He was even manipulated by Chen Dengming using the Puppet Technique to pull him into the range of the attack and use him as a shield.

Immediately, the numerous enemy cultivators who had launched the attack from all sides cried out in alarm and forcibly seized the Law Treasure.

Those who didn't have time to retract their attacks could only watch helplessly as the Technique Method landed on the Rock Shield outside their own Golden Core seniors' bodies, causing the shields to tremble and retreat.

"Clang!"

Myriad Gold Pearl blocked the attack of another Golden Core Cultivator, producing a violent shockwave.

Before the Golden Core Cultivator could launch another attack, Gongshu Zai roared and charged in.

A towering writing brush, radiating spiritual light, seemed to grow larger in the wind and struck straight at them.

The Golden Core Cultivator was filled with shock and anger, and could only immediately turn around to defend and parry.

With Gongshu Zai's timely intervention, Chen Dengming was able to fully utilize his Puppet Technique to control the Golden Core Mid Stage cultivator on the other side.

This is no easy task.

If the goal is to have him eliminate the other party, a swift and decisive action might actually make achieving the objective easier.

However, subduing someone without harming them is extremely difficult; even Puppet Technique alone cannot achieve this.

Fortunately, Chen Dengming was skilled in mental and Divine Sense attacks. While controlling his opponent to create a stalemate, he used both his Divine Sense and spirit to strike, like heavy hammer blows hitting the depths of the cultivator's mind, causing the opponent to gradually feel fear, lose his fighting spirit, and eventually lose the ability to resist.

During this period, the combined offensive of the other seven or eight Foundation Establishment Early Stage and others at the peak, along with nearly a hundred Qi Cultivation Cultivator, could hardly shake the protection of his Myriad Gold Pearl in a short time.

At the same time.

Within the Fallen Forbidden Zone, thousands of the Longevity Sect disciples, who had been preparing for battle, filed out one after another, led by Chen Dengming's two avatars and False Core Cultivator such as He Yingyu and Yang Zidao, creating an astonishing spectacle.

This sudden turn of events caused the expressions of hundreds of enemy cultivators to change drastically. They wanted to intercept them, but they could only watch helplessly as two enormous spirit boats slowly flew out of the deep forest, like ferocious beasts of the forest ready to devour their prey.

The combined spiritual power of thousands of Qi Cultivation Cultivator was terrifying, not to mention the six False Core Cultivators at the forefront, who were not to be trifled with.

If they rushed to intercept them, I'm afraid only a handful of fake pills would be able to escape unscathed.

Suddenly, Chen Dengming, who was surrounded and restrained by them, sent out his Divine Sense.

"We have no intention of being your enemies, so step back! I can guarantee that your Golden Core cultivators will not die!"

Upon hearing this, the hundreds of cultivators were slightly agitated. As they exchanged glances, they realized that their own Golden Core cultivator, who had been confronting Chen Dengming earlier, now seemed to have fainted, and the spiritual light emanating from his body had dimmed. They were all deeply disheartened, and their morale plummeted.

Who exactly is this White-Haired Cultivator opposite us?

Despite emitting a spiritual power that seemed weaker than that of their own Golden Core cultivators, it easily subdued their own powerful warriors.

At this point, even if the other side didn't say they would give up, everyone had already lost their fighting spirit.

If this fighting continues, the enemy could easily destroy one of our Golden Core cultivators.

Moreover, many of the enemy's pseudo-core cultivators and Foundation Establishment have already taken to the air and surrounded them.

On the other side, the Golden Core Early Stage cultivator, who was being entangled by Gongshu Zai, was distracted by the battle and couldn't help but feel shocked and indignant.

Seeing thousands of cultivators from all over the world rushing across the border of the Fallen Forbidden Zone like locusts and fleeing towards the sea, he let out a long howl as a stern warning.

"Do you cultivators from all corners of the world intend to violate the Four Seas Common Pact and invade my Eastern Immortal Sea?"

Even if you manage to get past Dragon Spirit Island today, you'll still be besieged by the Four Seas Immortal Sects in the future!

"Four Seas Common Pact? Dragon Spirit Island?"

Chen Dengming suddenly looked at the Golden Core Cultivator was fighting fiercely with Gongshu Zai, pondered for a moment, and then sent a message through his Divine Sense.

"This fellow Daoist from Dragon Spirit Island is overthinking things. We are disciples of the Longevity Sect. If you have heard of our Longevity Sect, you should know that we have always been indifferent to worldly affairs."

Even though I took action this time, I didn't kill you outright.

We were forced to migrate to the Eastern Immortal Sea, and we would never violate the Four Seas Common Pact, plunder the resources already occupied by you Eastern Immortal Sea sects, or create unfair competition."

At this moment, seeing that there was room for negotiation, Gongshu Zai gradually slowed down his offensive.

The Golden Core Early Stage cultivators on Dragon Spirit Island had already basically determined that Chen Dengming was the same cultivator who had previously tested them with an avatar. At this moment, they were both shocked and angry, but also felt deeply helpless.

If it weren't for the fact that two Golden Core cultivators and one Pseudo-Core cultivator had been inexplicably attacked by Senluo and Fallen Forbidden Zone, they would have been in serious trouble.

This time, we will definitely not fall into a disadvantageous position so quickly, lose our defenses, and become completely passive.

Seeing that the Golden Core cultivator opposite him was still putting up a stubborn resistance, and with the distant roar of battle and the bursts of spiritual power emanating from it, Chen Dengming knew that the battle between Su Yan Yan and the dragon beast was becoming increasingly fierce, and the situation was urgent.

"Delaying time? Are you sure you know I won't dare to use my full strength?"

His eyes hardened with coldness, he let out a snort, and suddenly pointed out with a finger while making a hand seal.

Buzz!--

In an instant, with a clang, Myriad Gold Pearl transformed into a giant golden hand, grabbing the whisk-wielding Daoist priest.

The next moment, Chen Dengming summoned the Hurricane Battle Saber and charged towards the Golden Core Early Stage cultivator opposite him.

"Since you are unwilling to give up, then you'll have no choice but to suffer a bit."

Seeing Chen Dengming make another move, the enemy cultivators had no choice but to bite the bullet and angrily shout to intercept him.

However, how could these Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation Cultivator stop Chen Dengming? Instead, they were blocked by Chen Dengming's clones and He Yingyu and others who rushed forward, and the battle circle was split again.

The outcome of the battle that followed was entirely predictable.

After Chen Dengming severely injured and knocked out the last Golden Core Early Stage cultivator, the other enemy cultivators, fearing for their own safety, dared not pursue him recklessly. They could only watch with frustration and resentment as thousands of the Longevity Sect disciples either rode on spiritual light or boarded spirit boats and quickly departed.

After a small cup of tea.

Chen Dengming successfully led thousands of the Longevity Sect disciples away from the bay to a distance of over a hundred miles.

At this distance, the booming sounds and oppressive aura of the Nascent Soul cultivators clashing in the distance could no longer be perceived; only a few enemy cultivators could be seen following far behind.

He pondered for a moment.

He summoned a clone, which carried the captured enemy cultivator in the Golden Core Early Stage, and flew away in another direction. Then he sent out a Divine Sense.

"This person can be returned to you, provided you can catch up with him. If you continue to follow, don't blame me for being ruthless. Even a turtle will bite when cornered."

The enemy cultivators who were following far behind received the Divine Sense transmission and their expression changed slightly. They had no choice but to immediately catch up with the clone that had taken away a Golden Core elder.

Chen Dengming looked at another Daoist priest with a whisk in the Golden Core Mid Stage and chose to detain him temporarily to prevent the enemy from resorting to desperate measures.

"Your Highness Daozi, how is the situation with Third Martial Uncle?"

At this moment, Gongshu Zai approached, his face solemn as he bowed to Chen Dengming, his eyes questioning.

Chen Dengming's solemn expression relaxed, and he smiled, "Elder Gongshu, please call me Junior Brother Chen in private."

Gongshu Zai's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said he dared not.

He had just witnessed Chen Dengming's astonishing combat power firsthand. He had taken down a Golden Core Mid Stage cultivator so easily. As expected of Dao Child had inherited the power of the Dao lineage, he dared not act arrogantly based on his seniority.

Chen Dengming did not wish to be polite with him.

His eyes focused with blue light, and with his Heavenly Eye, he observed the man and dragon locked in battle in the distance. His expression turned solemn.

"It seems that it won't be easy for Third Martial Uncle to get rid of that dragon beast."

Elder Gongshu, you continue leading everyone forward, heading towards the nearest blessed land recording point. I'll go check it out first.

"This, this won't do! Your Highness Daozi, we need you to take charge here."

Gongshu Zai a beat, and he quickly tried to dissuade him.

He Yingyu, who had been eavesdropping nearby, was startled and quickly approached, frowning and scolding, "Junior Brother, that's a battle between Nascent Soul True Lord!"

"I know."

Chen Dengming frowned and shook his head, taking out the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff from his Storage Bag, and said in a deep voice.

"My Third Martial Uncle hasn't gotten rid of that old dragon yet, and the situation is already very bad. I'm worried that if we continue to delay, even more powerful enemy reinforcements will arrive."

Only by quickly helping our Third Martial Uncle escape his predicament can our safety be guaranteed.

Otherwise, if something happens to our Third Martial Uncle, we won't be able to shake off the dragon beast's pursuit.

"But."

He Yingyu hesitated, her pretty face filled with worry.

Chen Dengming said calmly, "Don't worry, I will only hide in the shadows and look for an opportunity to strike from the sidelines, hoping to support my Third Martial Uncle from the sidelines."

If that dragon beast chases me, I can simply hide back in the Fallen Forbidden Zone. I don't think that dragon beast is smart enough to chase me in."

After this explanation, He Yingyu had no choice but to agree, repeatedly reminding Chen Dengming to be careful.

Chen Dengming's judgment was correct.

The fate and safety of the thousands of people in the Longevity Sect today largely depend on the Third Ancestor, Su Yanyan.

If anything happens to Su Yan Yan, then this migration plan will be considered a failure, and it could capsize at any time, and they might even be hunted down for thousands of miles by the enraged dragon beasts.

Even Chen Dengming wouldn't dare say he could save his life, and the lives of He Yingyu and the others beside him would be hanging by a thread.

The joys and sorrows of this world may be incomprehensible to one another, but the dangers of this world occur every moment, and there will always be some commonalities.

At this moment, Chen Dengming and the others were in dire straits, like boats struggling to cross a raging storm. The once-famous Tiandao Sect in the Eastern Region was also in the greatest danger since the founding of the Qu Shenzong.

The towering, perilous Heavenly Dao Peak, with its ten thousand steps that seemed to pierce the clouds, had activated its radiant Mountain Protecting Formation, radiating powerful spiritual energy.

Outside the Mountain Protecting Formation, a fierce wind gathered the dark clouds.

Within the dark clouds, hundreds of thousands of points of spiritual light, driven by the Devil Cultivator of the Western Regions, flashed and darted about like countless black wild horses being driven through the clouds, while chilling magical Law Artifact such as swords, spears, and halberds surrounded the entire Tiandao Sect.

A heavy, oppressive atmosphere of tension filled the space.

However, among the peaks of the Heavenly Dao Path, many had collapsed, with corpses strewn everywhere and blood splattered on the walls.

Only the main peak, Heavenly Dao Peak, still stands proudly, with tens of thousands of the Tiandao Sect cultivators forming battle formations, fiercely defending the sect under the leadership of high-ranking cultivators such as the Heavenly Dao Second Ancestor.

Near the front of the crowd, Qiao Zhaoxian, covered in blood, held a broken halberd. His face was cut open, and his left arm was severed at the root. However, the fighting spirit and determination on his arrogant face remained undiminished.

"The cultivators of the Tiandao Sect truly are born warriors! However, you mere cultivators have already done your best!"

A majestic and oppressive voice suddenly emanated from the depths of the dark clouds guarded by countless Devil Cultivators.

Immediately, a large hole seemed to be torn open in the dark clouds by an invisible force.

Through the gap in the opening, a deep purple night sky came into view.

The next instant, a huge and blurry figure plummeted straight down from the gap, its body radiating a ferocious and terrifying Devil Qi.

His figure was so small that no specific features could be discerned, because the moment he appeared, the Spiritual Qi in the surrounding air rapidly converged upon him, causing countless people to feel suffocated, as if their own Spiritual Qi was being drained.

Intense streams of light, lightning, and flames surrounded him, causing the air to become endlessly distorted.

"Heavenly Demon!!"

On Heavenly Dao Peak, the Heavenly Dao Second Ancestor's pupils contracted, and suddenly his body emitted a powerful spiritual might, which, in conjunction with the Mountain Protecting Formation, resisted the pressure from the Spirit Transformation stage above, as he roared.

"All disciples swear to protect our sect to the death! Reinforcements from all directions are on their way!"

With a loud "boom," the enormous figure, shrouded in demonic flames, slammed its fist into the Mountain Protecting Formation like a meteorite from outer space.

A sudden earthquake shook the mountain, countless stone steps on Heavenly Dao Peak crumbled, and the mountain itself collapsed. Then, terrifying Spiritual Qi was compressed and exploded into a huge mushroom cloud, dark clouds looming over the city.

A wild, murderous laugh spread out.

"No reinforcements! The Longevity Old Tortoise will be held back by the Five Elements Sword Lord! Putuo has promised me that he will not interfere in this great war of the era!"

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Dragon Boat Festival!
