Amidst the dazzling White Light, the Divine Transformation Stone stretched along the bowstring and transformed into an arrow.

Before the second arrow was even fired, it had already stirred up wind and thunder.

The dense Human Immortal Way Power condensed into the shape of a white tiger at the arrowhead, locking onto Liao Jizuo, the Hall Master of Freedom.

The Four Symbols Divine Arrow – White Tiger Kill Arrow!

Liao Jizuo immediately felt an extremely strong sense of danger and pressure.

If he insists on intercepting the Nascent Soul Soul Arrow to prevent his dao companion from being harmed, he will also be injured or even killed by the second arrow that follows.

Unless he's willing to gamble that other fellow cultivators around him will step in and block the second arrow for him.

Or perhaps he would rather sacrifice himself, even if no other fellow cultivators could shield him, willingly suffering severe injuries to prevent his dao companion from being harmed at this time.

This series of thrilling and perilous situations, which occurred in the blink of an eye, demonstrated Chen Dengming's superb ability to grasp human nature.

From Liao Jizuo's action of trying to intercept the Nascent Soul Soul Arrow before Cao Zhiqing, the Palace Master of the Body Sage Palace, he grasped the distrust among these Old Devil. Therefore, even before the second arrow was released, it felt as if it had struck the hearts of everyone!

This arrow, if it could wound the body, would be less desirable than striking the mind!

Just as Liao Jizuo was feeling shaken and conflicted, Chen Dengming suddenly released the bowstring.

Roar!--

A blinding White Light pierced the air in an instant, and what erupted was not the sound of an arrow, but a heart-stirring roar of a tiger.

In Liao Jizuo's eyes, there was no trace of arrows, but rather a white tiger with an astonishing presence, pouncing fiercely with overwhelming power.

In that instant, Chen Dengming raised his hand and summoned a large eye that emitted an astonishingly evil and chaotic light, instantly locking onto Liao Jizuo.

This was none other than the second large eyeball that the Incense Clone had found inside the Repentance Cave of the Wonderful Sound Sect.

"Ah!--"

Liao Jizuo, the Hall Master of Freedom, who spends his days hunting geese, was pecked blind in one eye by a goose today. At this moment, Chen Dengming used his large eyeball to stir up his emotions.

He let out a painful roar, his anger redirecting as he used the butterfly-shaped Law Treasure that was intercepting the Nascent Soul Soul Arrow to envelop his body, narrowly missing the Nascent Soul Soul Arrow that his dao companion had transformed into.

He dared not gamble, entrusting his back to the protection of other cunning and treacherous old monsters.

He dared not intercept the Nascent Soul Soul Arrow at this moment, and instead bravely withstand the second arrow that followed.

However, his extremely risky evasion inadvertently harmed Cao Zhiqing, the Body Sage Palace, who had hesitated to act because of his appearance.

Within the Nascent Soul Soul Arrow, Nalan Huishan could not believe that her beloved dao companion had left her. She let out a venomous roar and howl, and under Chen Dengming's will, she continued her charge, instantly shooting towards Cao Zhiqing, venting all her resentment on the honest man.

The White Tiger Kill Arrow that followed was also aimed directly at Cao Zhiqing, killing him.

"Liao Jizuo! You bastard!"

The Palace Master of the Body Sage Palace Cao Zhiqing, immediately changed his expression. The Star Sage Blade that was floating in front of him immediately flew out as he made a hand seal.

Boom!--

The blades gleamed brilliantly.

The Star Sage Blade seemed to draw starlight from the night sky, emitting a faint, watery blade light that transformed into a massive crescent-shaped blade aura, causing a violent upheaval in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

"Hiss--"

The moment the blade energy made contact with the soul arrow, there was no loud noise.

Nalan Huishan screamed in agony as her Soul Power was torn apart by the fierce attack and quickly dissipated.

But being Soul Body, the arrow still managed to pierce through the blade's energy and hurtle fiercely towards Cao Zhiqing.

"Get out of here!--"

Cao Zhiqing's face was contorted with rage. He spread his arms, and the Nascent Soul Power erupted along with his Technique Method.

Instantly, his entire body radiated an indestructible Golden Light, and his eyes shot out Divine Sense, spreading out waves of powerful Spiritual Qi and Divine Sense like raging torrents.

The Nascent Soul Soul Arrow was instantly blasted away by the raging torrent of Divine Sense energy, and its brightness diminished considerably.

But in that instant, a majestic and domineering tiger's roar pierced the sky.

The White Tiger Kill Arrow arrived with unparalleled speed, its claws lashing out, tearing through the raging, wave-like defenses and unleashing a fierce and intimidating surge of power.

Cao Zhiqing was terrified.

The moment his defenses were torn apart, he was already exhausted. He could only watch helplessly as the White Tiger Kill Arrow shot towards him. It was too late to cast a spell and use his Law Treasure to intercept it.

Just then, countless Gu Worm, like black whirlwinds, suddenly flew over and blocked Cao Zhiqing's path.

The Palace Master of the Gu Sage Palace arrived in time to provide assistance.

The White Tiger Kill Arrow, brimming with murderous intent, roared as it swept past, instantly shattering a vast swarm of Gu Worm like black waves crashing against a giant ship, amidst the sharp arrow energy and the Human Immortal Way Power.

Countless Gu Worm screamed and flew haphazardly through the air, like dust storms rising in the desert.

"Puff"!

The White Tiger Kill Arrow, its momentum undiminished, splattered blood as it pierced Cao Zhiqing's chest, the Human Immortal Way Power tearing apart his seemingly formidable defenses.

Cao Zhiqing's face was filled with disbelief. Suddenly, his eyes flashed with Sha Qi, his chest muscles bulged, and his veins stood out. He tried to forcefully trap the White Tiger Kill Arrow.

Not far away, Chen Dengming's eyes gleamed with a cold, silvery light as he made a hand seal with his right hand.

"Change!"

The Divine Transformation Stone, which had transformed into an arrow, suddenly shone brightly, changing into a spiral drill-like shape with incomparably sharp edges, and began to spin abruptly!

Sizzle--

A piercing sound erupted, accompanied by a metallic stench like steel being rubbed together and sizzling.

"Huh!--"

Cao Zhiqing let out a shrill scream as the rapidly spinning Divine Transformation Stone pierced through his chest, sending up a spray of blood mixed with bits of flesh and internal organs that filled the air, leaving him severely injured.

The astonishing changes that occurred in that instant were so rapid that they left one breathless.

Almost instantly, two arrows streaked past, causing Liao Jizuo, the Hall Master of Freedom, to retreat in fright, while Cao Zhiqing, the Body Sage Palace, was severely injured.

"Chen Baimao!"

A furious roar suddenly exploded a hundred feet away from Chen Dengming.

Chen Dengming felt a severe threat to his mind. A tall figure rushed out of the crowd, like a king in the clouds, holding a spear formed from countless rapidly spinning clouds.

Boom!--

The spear shot out instantly.

This sudden attack was indeed too fast.

Almost simultaneously, a sound like air being rapidly compressed and cut came from behind.

Chen Dengming quickly formed a hand seal, his figure transforming into a wisp of Wood Elemental Spiritual Energy that flew away.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh--

Strange, sickle-shaped flying insects sliced through the air, creating sharp gusts of air that corroded the air in their wake, producing a hissing sound.

Chen Dengming's Wood Elemental Spiritual Energy narrowly missed the target. Although some of the Spiritual Qi was corroded, Wood Elemental Spiritual Energy is inherently immune to toxins, so it was not a serious problem.

"Boom!"

The spears followed one after another, piercing through the spiritual mist. The high-speed collision of the mist gave birth to a chilling aura and Thunderbolt Arc, which burst forth from the spear tips, instantly freezing and paralyzing part of the spiritual mist.

"Well!"

Chen Dengming grunted, his figure forced out of his Qi Escape Technique state, a layer of frost condensing on his body, and his body stiffening in the lightning.

"Die!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Hall Master of Freedom, filled with rage, attacked. Countless sharp five-inch flying blades swirled around him and slashed at Chen Dengming with the force of thunder and lightning.

This brief moment was timed perfectly, precisely when Chen Dengming had no chance to perform hand seals or activate his Law Treasure.

In this life-or-death crisis, he could only mobilize his Divine Sense and mental power.

A powerful Divine Sense suddenly erupted from his eyes.

Almost at the same time, long, thin snake-like Lingbo Hyena suddenly shot out from his sleeves and covered his body in the blink of an eye.

"Clang! Clang!"

Numerous flying blades slashed and impacted his body, but were blocked by Lingbo Hyena's body, producing a violent collision sound.

"Wang Gu Lingbo Hyena? How could he have that?"

The expression on the face of Ai Yunsheng, the Palace Master of the Gu Sage Palace, changed.

Bang!

A terrifying surge of Spiritual Qi suddenly erupted from Chen Dengming's body, transforming into a powerful force that swept past and deflected the flying blade.

Puff puff puff--

The mane of the Lingbo Hyena, having absorbed an overwhelming surge of Spiritual Qi, rapidly expanded and exploded, shattering into Flesh and Blood.

Chen Dengming's figure fell like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the mountains below with a 'boom,' collapsing thick rocks, creating a shockwave, and sending up clouds of dust.

At the same moment, before Liao Jizuo and the Old Devil could continue their pursuit, they all felt a stinging pain in their minds as Chen Dengming's indiscriminate Divine Sense invaded them. They immediately stopped to prevent the mental assault.

In that moment of distraction, they missed a golden opportunity to press their advantage.

The moment Chen Dengming's figure crashed into the rock strata, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, expelling the stagnant blood from his body. He then quickly gathered most of the still-alive Lingbo Hyena into the Beast Restraining Ring.

His injury was not serious.

The vast majority of the damage was absorbed by Lingbo Hyena, while a small portion was blocked by the Magnetic Body Protection.

At this moment, he coughed up a mouthful of stagnant blood, and immediately felt his qi and blood flow smoothly, and the Nascent Soul Power was mobilized and quickly circulated.

"Qi Release!"

With a hand seal, he used his Qi Escape Technique, his body transforming into a ball of Spiritual Qi with a 'whoosh' and quickly disappearing.

He had already keenly sensed a faint threat.

However, they couldn't find the source of the threat or its location at all.

But this subtle danger made him realize that a powerful enemy was lurking in the shadows.

Just now, the other party was almost about to make a move, but realized the timing was wrong and immediately went into hiding.

But in that brief moment, the other party had already been exposed, and he had captured the traces of their mind by relying on the faintly visible Human Heart Hall in his Sea of Consciousness.

This must be a formidable enemy he has encountered before, perhaps even the Northern Yin Holy Mother who has never shown herself.

With too many formidable enemies, his ability to seize the initiative by subtly understanding human nature and severely injure Cao Zhiqing, a Nascent Soul Late Stage -stage Nascent Body Sage Palace Master, while surrounded by several Nascent Soul True Lords, was already his limit.

Even so, the Spiritual Qi and Dao power he had just exhausted in a short period of time had already exceeded his expectations.

At this critical moment, it is imperative to immediately create distance and join forces with the two Nascent Soul reinforcements who have arrived nearby, only then will there be a chance to resist.

Otherwise, if he were surrounded by multiple Nascent Soul Old Monster, he would surely die unless he quickly escaped into the Human Heart Hall.

In mid-air, the Gu Sage Palace Ai Yunsheng and the others, who had recovered their senses, all looked terrified.

Witnessing Chen Dengming escape again by transforming into qi, the group of Old Devil felt heavy-hearted and even shocked, and fully felt the intense pressure from the Fighting Longevity Lord.

How many years has it been?

This Battle Longevity Lord Chen Baimao has actually broken through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage?

Liao Jizuo, the Hall Master of Freedom, was even more ashamed to face Cao Zhiqing, who was glaring at him angrily.

The sight of the other man's grotesque chest, riddled with wounds the size of a bowl, sent a chill down his spine.

The terrifying combat power of the Fighting Longevity Lord, who can slay Nascent Soul one after another, is indeed not an empty reputation.

"Chase him! The Northern Yin Holy Mother has arrived. His mental advantage will be countered. Even if he reunites with those two, we'll still have a chance to kill him."

At this moment, Gu Sage Palace Ai Yunsheng seemed to sense something, his expression changed from worry to joy, and he immediately rushed towards Chen Dengming without hesitation.

"Big brother! You stay here to recover from your injuries, we'll go after him!"

Ji Zhixing, the deputy palace master of the Body Saint, looked at Cao Zhiqing.

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqing, who was about to leave, looked at his chest, which had been shattered by the shock, and felt a wave of weakness and powerlessness wash over him.

He hesitated only slightly before quickly nodding.

A shattered heart is not fatal to Nascent Soul True Lord, but the massive wound and blood loss inevitably lead to a weakening of his power.

Dealing with a dangerous figure like Chen Dengming, any slight mistake could lead to a tragic death, so it was indeed inconvenient for him to continue the pursuit.

"Fellow Daoist Cao, please focus on recovering. Leave the rest to us."

Liao Jizuo, the Hall Master of Freedom, did a good deed, salvaging the relationship between the two, and then quickly flew away to give chase.

The battle had unfolded too quickly, and his dao companion Nalan Huishan, was still unable to be saved. She had already transformed into Nascent Soul Soul Arrow and followed Chen Dengming in death.

Whoosh--

Following Liao Jizuo, Ji Zhixing, the deputy palace master of the Body Saint, also made a hand seal and his figure disappeared into the clouds and mist, like a cloud wandering in the sea of clouds, passing through the clouds and mist and flying away quickly.

As the people departed, Cao Zhiqing master of the Body Sage Palace, breathed a slight sigh of relief, then quickly scanned the Longevity Sect more than 800 miles away with his Divine Sense.

The scene was terrifying, with Blood Thunder filling the sky.

A vast and frenzied terrifying will enveloped that area, where the air was thick with tension. It seemed that even the Mochao Crown Prince and his companions were in dire straits, still struggling to break through and resist. I couldn't help but gasp.

This situation is not good.

What methods did True Lord Fu Changyin use to create such a terrifying scene comparable to the attack of Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord?

Even though the other side would pay the price with their lives, they successfully delayed thirteen Nascent Soul True Lord, accomplishing a great feat.

Cao Zhiqing's Divine Sense had already detected that the four enemy Nascent Soul auras that had appeared earlier were gradually approaching the vicinity of the Longevity Sect.

Even if the Mochao Crown Prince and the others escape later, with the reinforcements of these four Nascent Soul cultivators, the Longevity Sect, relying on its Mountain Protecting Formation, can at least hold out for another half an incense stick's time.

Half an incense stick's time has passed, Counterattack Cultivator Alliance will surely send a large number of reinforcements to the scene.

"Fortunately Qu Shenzong, as well as Mingguang Shangren, Divine Turtle Dao Lord, Five Elements Dao Lord, and Divine Sword Dao Lord, should now be entangled by Five Elements Sword Lord, Heaven and Earth Sword Lord, Three Saints Dao Lord, and Qi Yuan Dao Lord."

The only elusive traitor, not among the targets, was unlikely to pose a significant threat.

If this person dares to show his face and interfere in the Four Seas Four Regions, he will surely be dealt with by an 'existence' that even the Demon Lord fears."

Thinking this through, Cao Zhiqing calmed down and dismissed the thought of fleeing that had been lurking in his mind.

"Although the Demon Lord's surprise attack was hasty, it was also well-thought-out."

Once the Demon Lord kills the Longevity Dao Lord and seizes the three palaces of Fortune, Longevity, and Life, this battle will be considered a great success.

Afterwards, the Demon Lord will devour the Three Palaces and the Immortal Celestial Lineage, and no one within the Four Seas Four Regions will be able to subdue him!

Cao Zhiqing Divine Sense the distant Spirit Thunder Layer with his divine sense and could feel the reassuring power of the Incense and Faith domain spreading out, indicating that the Demon Lord's vast power had gained the upper hand and was influencing this world.

He mentally reviewed the Demon Lord's overall plan, while simultaneously quickly deploying array Formation Flag to set up Formation around him in preparation for healing.

Just then, a dazzling burst of light suddenly erupted from the distant Spirit Thunder Layer, forming a vast band of light, like a silver river hanging down from above, magnificent and splendid.

It was as if Spirit Transformation was uttering a painful roar, echoing from afar, causing thunder to rumble across the heavens and earth, whipping up a gale, eclipsing the world, and shaking people's hearts.

"Is that Star Cloud Dao Lord from Flying Star Island injured?"

Cao Zhiqing paused, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

But the next moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong, and felt that the power of the Demon Lord's Incense and Faith domain was also rapidly fading.

The speed at which it recedes is extremely abnormal, almost like it's fleeing.

The Demon Lord, who just held an absolute advantage, is on the run?

How is that possible?

But that's the truth.

What happened?

Cao Zhiqing's expression changed drastically. He stood up abruptly, but immediately felt a rush of Blood Qi and qi stagnation. His weak body swayed due to the intense turmoil in his emotions.

In that instant, the surrounding mist suddenly thickened, and a faint incense-like energy, accompanied by sharp Water Chain, swept in and entangled.

"Who!?"

Cao Zhiqing down his spine.

He was seriously injured at this moment, and yet he only made his move now because there were enemies lying in ambush nearby?

Tens of thousands of miles away.

Above the eerie Devil Qi Sky Dome of the Western Regions, intense flashes of spiritual light flickered within the Spirit Thunder Layer, only to vanish abruptly, transforming into dark, void-like black holes.

Qu Shenzong fought a bloody battle, and even his renowned Law Treasure, the Tiandao Square Halberd, was cracked.

All around, within the Spirit Thunder Layer, lay corpses, falling one after another from the sky.

Before him lay several writhing, Flesh and Blood Devil Fetus, all Life Force.

But even more astonishing was the slowly closing light curtain.

At the edge of the light screen, a hideous demonic claw had been severed, radiating overwhelming Devil Qi.

Within the light curtain, a demonic will, originating from the same source as the Outer Realm Devil Venerable but much weaker, roared in resentment, but could only watch helplessly as the curtain leading to the Four Seas Four Regions closed again.

"Qu Shenzong, you are ruthless! Ruthless enough! You dared to sacrifice your troops and generals to cover your destruction of the Great Curtain. If you dare to do this, leaving me here, the war is not over yet, and you will all die in the end!"

Qu Shenzong coughed up blood, his hair danced wildly, and the Tiandao Square Halberd in front of him slowly floated up, releasing astonishing Dao power. He sneered.

"Old Devil, at this point, you don't need to bluff anymore. It's not that we're ruthless enough, but that you've forced us to be ruthless!"

I never expected that you would feign one thing while secretly doing another, using the flawed Ghost Path Demon Devil Fetus that Senluo had condensed to launch a surprise attack.

Since you're so eager to drive us into a dead end, then none of us will have an easy time. We'll feign one thing while secretly doing another. As for your true self...

Qu Shenzong let out a wild laugh and pushed his hands forward. Instantly, the Tiandao Square Halberd emitted a dazzling blue-green Dao power, as if the Heavenly Dao had suddenly conveyed a terrifying will, transforming into a blue-green torrent that rushed straight towards the curtain.

"If your true form still dares to remain in this realm, then I will be the one to end your demonic soul!"

"No!"

A furious roar, accompanied by intense Incense and Faith, formed surging waves of Devil Qi that rapidly rushed in from afar.

He was Outer Realm Devil Venerable who had fled in panic from the Longevity Sect.

At this moment, he could not help but be alarmed.

Once the Great Curtain Passage is sealed, with most of his power remaining within the Flesh and Blood Devil Fetus here, he will only have two paths to take.

They either fight to the death with their backs to the wall, taking a group of people down with them, or they go into hiding from now on, trying to escape the encirclement and suppression of the Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord of the Four Seas Four Regions.

Furthermore, due to the loss of connection with its original body, the Flesh and Blood Devil Fetus's power, which was almost comparable to that of a half-step Dao Integration cultivator, will gradually decline.

However, relying on the Flesh and Blood Devil Fetus, it is impossible to truly break through to the realm of Dao Integration.

This is the consequence of launching a war with all our might.

While he was scheming to seize the Immortal Celestial Lineage the Longevity Sect and the three great Dao artifacts of Fortune, Longevity, and Destiny, the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance had already set its sights on the opportunity to destroy the entrance to the Great Curtain Passage.

Just as the Tiandao Square Halberd was about to blast its way onto the curtain, forcibly helping the torn entrance close.

On the other hand, the Outer Realm Devil Venerable could no longer restrain himself.

On the other side of the curtain, in the Unseen, a giant exuding a chilling Devil Qi, angrily unleashed a powerful demonic thought, projecting his sharp, arrow-like gaze upon them.

A demonic power, no less potent than that of Immortal Celestial Dao Power, rapidly converged at the exit of the curtain.

The obscure fluctuations of power caused the surrounding air to tremble violently and vanish, as if being swallowed by an invisible maw.

A terrifying and magnificent power gathered at the entrance to the curtain, originating from the power of the Dao.

Instantly, the light membrane at the entrance of the main curtain cracked rapidly, becoming extremely unstable.

But at the same time, the Tiandao Square Halberd that had been shot at them was also disintegrating inch by inch.

Like a churning cloud of demonic energy, the Outer Realm Devil Venerable stumbled and rushed towards the unstable entrance to the curtain, letting out a chilling roar as he turned back towards Qu Shenzong.

"I will return!"

"Really? You want the three palaces of Fortune, Longevity, and Life? Aren't you going to take them with you?"

Qu Shenzong's expression was mocking. Suddenly, the phantom images of the Palace of Longevity and the Palace of Life appeared in his eyes, and a shocking bloodstain suddenly split open between his brows. From within the bloodstain, a sense of good fortune appeared.

The three halls of Fortune, Longevity, and Destiny released abundant Dao power. Within this intertwined power, there seemed to be a terrifying will that had never grown weary, carrying fury as it swept across time and space.

The Outer Realm Devil Venerable was startled, sensing something extremely ominous.
