With the reminder from the First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng, Chen Dengming and Su Yan Yan finally ended their three-month seclusion in the outside world and their ninety-year seclusion in the Heavenly Timing Heavenly Longevity Hall.

Ninety years have passed in the blink of an eye. Time flies, and Chen Dengming has become a nearly four-hundred-year-old man, no longer the little Bai Mao baby he was when he first entered the Longevity Sect.

The two left the Heavenly Longevity Hall and stood in the small square outside the hall where Longevity Incense was burning. Looking around, they found themselves in an unfamiliar place filled with a vast and ancient atmosphere.

The mountains here are vast and endless. Some huge gray mountains are tall and majestic, but they are devoid of any vegetation, with only broken walls and ruins, standing like expressionless giants, silently guarding this world that has been silent for a long time.

Chen Dengming took a deep breath and felt the Spiritual Qi in the air, which was equivalent to that of Third-Rank Spirit Vein, but there was also a strange and powerful pressure that made him feel tense and uncomfortable.

"Here it is...?"

His eyes showed a strange look as he looked up at the sun on the distant Dongfang horizon.

I had a vague feeling that the sun was like the autumn moon, hazy and indistinct, as if shrouded in some kind of cloud or mist, its light appearing soft and blurry.

Deep within the dark clouds in the sky, faint Thunderbolt Arc flickered wildly, emanating an astonishing and terrifying aura that made Chen Dengming sense the madness of the Heavenly Dao.

This was clearly no longer the Four Regions and Four Seas; a guess had already formed in his mind.

"This is the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm! Once one of the Five Great True Immortals, it is now the most intact realm besides the Underworld."

The towering figure of the First Ancestor, radiating the azure Immortal Celestial Dao Power, appeared at the palace gate. With his hands behind his back, he said calmly, "After I send you into the Heavenly Longevity Hall, you will enter the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm. During this time, you will actually be cultivating in the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm."

The feng shui, magnetic field, and Spiritual Qi here are different from those in Four Seas Four Regions, which is why you may feel some discomfort and pressure...

"You only feel a little discomfort and pressure, but if other Non-My Dao Cultivator enter, that discomfort and pressure will be much more pronounced. Even if they possess tokens related to the Heavenly Immortal Way, they cannot completely avoid it. This is precisely our advantage."

Another loud voice drifted from not far away.

Chen Dengming and Su Yan Yan had already noticed the Heavenly Destiny Hall in that direction.

At this moment, his gaze shifted to the direction from which the sound came, and he saw the imposing figure of Qu Shenzong, with his short beard trimmed like iron needles, flying towards him.

Beside him were several other figures, including Xuan Chenxiao, Qiao Zhaoxian, Mo Jiazheng, the Supreme Elder of the Shu Sword Pavilion, and Dunyu True Lord, the second-generation patriarch of the Five Elements Escape Sect.

"Old Chen!" Qiao Zhaoxian looked at Chen Dengming, his expression excited.

"Old Qiao! I didn't expect you to be here too." Chen Dengming said with a smile, deliberately teasing his old friend.

Qiao Zhaoxian's face immediately fell, and he snorted, "I'm almost at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, not too far behind you. This time, let's see if I can kill a few Nascent Soul from beyond the realm."

Chen Dengming laughed heartily and repeatedly said, "Good!"

Mo Jiazheng bowed to Chen Dengming and Su Yan Yan, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Fellow Daoists, it will be difficult for us non-Daoists to offer much help. We can only assist you at that time."

Senior Qu is right. Even with the protection of a token infused with the Immortal Celestial Dao Power, one can still feel the repulsive force emanating from this Heavenly Immortal Realm.

I've tried casting spells and manipulating Law Treasure before, but not only is the power significantly reduced, the Law Power consumption also increases considerably... My strength has been weakened by at least forty percent."

Dunyu True Lord added, "Moreover, the more Law Power is mobilized during the spell, the greater the repulsion will be, and the greater the depletion of the Immortal Celestial Dao Power stored in the protective artifact will be..."

Xuan Chenxiao nodded slightly and smiled, "So, Fellow Daoist Mo and Fellow Daoist Yu really took a great risk and made a great sacrifice to come here this time."

Chen Dengming and Su Yan Yan were both filled with respect.

"Hey! You can't say that. This concerns matters across the Four Seas Four Regions, and none of us can escape it." Mo Jiazheng waved his hands repeatedly.

Yu Xiangzhong laughed and said, "Not bad! There are still some fellow Daoists who wanted to come, but they didn't get the chance. Fellow Daoist Xuan, please don't praise us anymore, or we'll be criticized by the other Daoists later."

"Haha, you two don't need to be so modest."

Xuan Chenxiao laughed heartily, looked at Chen Dengming and Su Yan Yan, and explained, "There are still some fellow Daoists from the Four Seas Four Regions who want to come in. As you know, Sect Leader Chen, quite a few of them were invited by you."

But now is not the time to use those people."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dengming looked at the First Ancestor and Qu Shenzong, and nodded solemnly.

Upon hearing this sentence and seeing the expressions of the two seniors, he understood what it meant.

More cultivators from other paths will enter the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm in the future, as a preparation for resisting the even more difficult Outer Realm Devil Venerable.

Having already laid an ambush to deal with the many expelled Evil Cultivator, the plan was to catch the enemy off guard by feigning ignorance and inviting them into a trap.

At such a time, if many experts from Four Seas Four Regions were to disappear and arrive in the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, the presence of so many people and eyes could easily alert the Evil Cultivator and cause unforeseen complications.

After that, there wasn't much more pleasantry or reminiscing.

Time was of the essence; the massacre plan was about to begin.

Qu Shenzong took the lead and began contacting the Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord of the Four Seas Four Regions, and went to the Western Regions to urge many Outer Domain Evil Cultivators to fulfill their promises.

The First Ancestor, Lu Xiu, led the group to the Immortal King's Mansion's Immortal King's Mansion to familiarize themselves with its layout.

After a while, the group flew over a vast and desolate land, feeling as if the land was filled with traces of history.

Some broken corners of buildings buried in the hills seem to record countless historical vicissitudes and past prosperity.

Occasionally, one can see some towering, majestic towers that rise from the dry riverbed, their carved railings and painted beams now weathered and worn.

Some floating islands have fallen randomly into the desert, with winding corridors leading deep into the desert, making one feel as if they have traveled through a time tunnel.

The Immortal King's Mansion is located in this desert, with most of the building buried in dust and sand, rising up to form a huge sand dune.

The exposed half is the entrance to the immortal abode, its walls spotless and dazzling in the sunlight, as if cast from some kind of white jade.

The palace was decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, and there were two magnificent jade pillars at the entrance.

Although the jade pillars are now covered with cracks, the dragon-shaped reliefs wrapped around each pillar are still clearly visible. However, the tops of the pillars all appear to be broken or incomplete, as if some parts had been cut off.

As everyone approached, their expressions turned serious, sensing a tense and restless atmosphere permeating the air.

It was as if an invisible, immense force was influencing the surrounding sky and earth, creating an atmosphere that was both oppressive and anxious.

Especially within the immortal abode buried in yellow sand ahead, a faint, unsettling aura emanated.

A hazy mist emanated from the entrance of the mansion, obscuring the plaque above the main gate and making the characters on it illegible.

The First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng said with a stern face, "Within this Immortal King's Mansion, there exists the residual tribulation power from when the Immortal King survived the great tribulation! Fellow Daoist Qu and I used the Second Hall of Life to send the Three Saints Dao Lord and others directly into the Immortal King's Mansion, and used the tribulation power to suppress and kill them!"

You just need to lie in ambush outside this mansion. Remember, you must never enter the Immortal King's Mansion!

Chen Dengming frowned. From the tone of the First Ancestor, he could tell that there was great danger in the Immortal King's Mansion, which posed a huge threat to all of them.

Wouldn't it be even riskier for the First Ancestor and the Qu Shenzong to fight against a group of cultivators within the Immortal King's Mansion?

At this moment, Mo Jiazheng couldn't help but ask the question.

The First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng shook his head and said, "Don't worry, before we deal with the Outer Realm Devil Venerable, neither Fellow Daoist Qu nor I will perish here so easily."

The group breathed a sigh of relief and immediately followed Lu Xiucheng's instructions to set up a large array around them to seal off the area before hiding themselves.

Lu Xiucheng left behind an approximate time, then departed, leaving the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm and heading straight for the Western Regions.

Everything seemed to proceed with such speed and efficiency.

As Chen Dengming watched the departing figure of the First Ancestor, he saw endless yellow sand and the sun high in the sky, and suddenly felt a sense of sorrow as he gazed upon a lone hero.

Although the First Ancestor spoke lightly, it was impossible to annihilate so many Spirit Transformation Nascent Soul without sacrifice.

Perhaps all the cultivators fighting here today for the sake of the Four Seas Four Regions may sacrifice themselves.

But the most likely candidate is undoubtedly the one located in the most dangerous area.

He was never a sentimental person, but at this moment his heart felt heavy.

Looking back at the crowd, he saw that everyone had silent yet solemn faces. Although no one uttered a word, they all clearly thought the same thing as him.

"Old Chen, you seem really nervous. I'm not nervous at all, so don't let yourself fall behind me."

Qiao Zhaoxian grinned, intentionally breaking the somber atmosphere and boosting morale.

He shook the Primordial Qi Bracelet on his wrist, "I've reforged this bracelet; it's now a high-grade fourth-tier Law Treasure. Let's see who will shed blood soon!"

Chen Dengming gave him a deep look, then smiled in response. With a hand seal, the dark Divine Transformation Stone floated in his hand. "This treasure of mine has also been reforged and upgraded."

Qiao Zhaoxian taken aback, his expression strange. "What is this? It's dark and looks like a broken stone stuffed under the bed to prop up the footrest."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but smile. They looked at each other, their hearts filled with pride, and burst into laughter. The laughter shook the yellow sand, stirred up a gale, and lifted Su Yan Yan's thin veil, seemingly adding a touch of Immortal Qi, a touch of heroism, and a touch of humanity to this Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm that had been silent for countless years.

Bloodshed and yellow sands remain the same through the ages; who says that Heaven's Will is beyond human control?

Even if blood stains the yellow sands today, what is there to fear?

The Western Regions of the Four Regions.

The powerful figures of Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord appeared from all directions in the sky above the Western Regions, exerting an extremely strong deterrent effect on the area below that had been exiled and suppressed for nearly fifty years.

In an instant, the entire area was sealed off and suppressed by the immense spiritual power emanating from these Spirit Transmutation Dao Lords.

This caused the Three Saints Dao Lord and many other Outer Domain Evil Cultivator, who were huddled together in the huge, bowl-shaped barrier below, to feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

In the clouds above, the figures of Mingguang Shangren, Star Cloud Dao Lord, Red Lotus Dao Lord, Yongxin Sword Lord, Venerable Lord Dongfang Huayuan Five Elements Dao Lord, Divine Turtle Dao Lord, and others appeared like true immortals, surrounded by a host of other immortals.

The figure standing tall and imposing at the very top of the sky was none other than Qu Shenzong, whose aura of leadership was overwhelming.

The massacre of a group of exiled Outer Domain Evil Cultivator was, in fact, a carefully planned conspiracy and trap orchestrated by the First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng and the Qu Shenzong.

Therefore, although some Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord in the Four Seas Four Regions could guess about this plan, they had no idea about its specific details or how it would be carried out.

Even figures like Mingguang Shangren Yongxin Sword Lord only knew that Longevity Dao Lord would definitely settle scores within the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.

As for the specifics of how to settle accounts, given their unwillingness to risk being suppressed and weakened to participate, Qu Shenzong and Lu Xiucheng, being shrewd and calculating, naturally wouldn't go into too much detail.

However, while they couldn't help in the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, they were naturally willing to lend their full support and work together in this base camp of the Four Seas Four Regions.

Therefore, now, under the call of the Longevity Dao Lord Lu Xiucheng and the Heavenly Dao Ancestor Qu Shenzong.

These numerous Spirit Transmutation Dao Lords from Four Seas Four Regions rushed to the Western Regions, the land of their exile, to pressure the many exiled Outer Domain Evil Cultivator, forcing them to abide by the old agreement and enter the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.

At this moment, the two top Your Majesty faced off from afar.

The air itself became restless, and the clouds and mist flew by like a fleeting moment, rapidly passing between the two sides.

Within a radius of a thousand miles, all was quiet, utterly silent.

Qu Shenzong snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with astonishing light, and said, "Three Saints! Demon Fiend, Heavenly Demon! An incense stick has burned out! The Immortal Sect is about to open, what are your intentions?"

"Will the great battle begin here today, or will you all honor your agreement and enter the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm before leaving?"

Inside the barrier below, the Three Saints Dao Lord and the others all had grim and unpleasant expressions.

Now, the enemy outnumbers us, the enemy is strong and we are weak; the situation is beyond our control. They were forced by circumstances to agree to the agreement and enter the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm after the Immortal Sect opened.

Faced with the same situation today, they still have no choice but to make the same decision.

They could indeed take the gamble, risking everything to fight their way out of the encirclement.

But in this enemy- Four Seas Four Regions territory, even if they manage to escape for a while, how can they escape forever? They might not even be able to escape and will die on the spot.

Entering the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm and joining forces with the Outer Realm Devil Venerable might offer a glimmer of hope for a fight.

"That old tortoise, Longevity Dao Lord, hasn't shown himself yet; I'm afraid they have a conspiracy."

The Mochao Kingdom Lord, shrouded in a thick Devil Qi, offered this reminder.

The Three Saints Dao Lord looked back at the numerous disciples among the buildings behind him, some anxious and tense, some resigned to their fate, and some with deathly pale faces, and coldly said, "There is definitely a conspiracy, there is no doubt about that, and we have already made various pre-emptive and countermeasures."

But for now, to use a common saying, it's like knowingly heading into a tiger's den—it's a last resort. If we can reunite with reinforcements on the mountain, perhaps we can even kill the tiger!

The eyes of the several Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord shifted, gradually revealing a ruthless and resolute intent. They all nodded, having made up their minds.

The current situation is exactly what they had anticipated.

However, they were all determined and shrewd individuals who, when faced with no other options, knew that a desperate gamble was crucial to creating an opportunity.

At least, the mysterious senior who seemed to have some connection with the Demon Lord did not warn them, proving that the Immortal Sect was accessible, and the situation was not the worst.

Boom!--

At this moment.

In the Sky Dome, the magnificent Immortal Sect that had been suspended for dozens of days suddenly and powerfully squeezed through the rolling clouds, descending and bringing with it a vast expanse of Immortal Qi that covered the area below.

The clouds and mist, like a surging sea, rolled in from beyond the sky, affecting all directions.

Such a grand scene immediately caused countless cultivators in the land of exile to gasp in astonishment.

"Why haven't you joined the Immortal Sect yet?!"

Qu Shenzong's grand voice descended from the sky as if aided by divine power, booming like rolling thunder overhead, eliciting thunderous responses from all directions, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

Rumble--

He was blessed with destiny, his words carried the weight of the law, his face radiated authority, his eyes shone brightly, and suddenly, streaks of blue lightning appeared in the air above his head and around him, twisting and turning, flashing and darting about.

At the same time, many Nascent Spirit Transformation, including Yongxin Sword Lord, Five Elements Dao Lord, Dongfang Huayuan Divine Turtle Dao Lord, Dongfang Mingguang Shangren Venerable, descended downwards, their figures radiating astonishing spiritual power, attracting countless Spiritual Qi to converge into a dazzling, shimmering light.

An immense, terrifying pressure descended instantly, causing the world to lose its color.

Boom--

The barrier of the Exile Lands roared and cracked instantly, collapsing abruptly.

"Walk!!"

The Three Saints Dao Lord gritted their teeth, their eyes glaring angrily, and their Divine Sense emitted a vast sound that spread in all directions.

"Walk!"

All the Spirit Transformation, Nascent Soul Dao Lord, and even countless Evil Cultivators with lower cultivation levels were already prepared. They all took to the air at this moment, braving the terrifying pressure of numerous Spirit Transformation, and flew towards the magnificent Immortal Sect descending from the sky, like carp leaping over the dragon gate.

The figures and the spirit boat carrying a large number of Evil Cultivator and traitors were swept up by the power of the Three Saints Dao Lord and others, and quickly rose into the air, entering the Immortal Sect together.

Beyond the Immortal Sect lies the edge of the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, near the Outer Heaven.

The figure of Longevity Dao Lord Lu Xiucheng, transformed into a large face. In his eyes and between his brows, the three halls of Fortune, Longevity, and Destiny all gathered a rich, azure Dao power, like three lamps.

The lights reflected the magnificent immortal Immortal Sect, which, with the help of the three halls, seemed to possess a strange and powerful force like the Shore Flower, leading directly into the Immortal King's Mansion.

This Immortal Sect, which he forged using the power of the three palaces' artifacts and the Heavenly Dao Power, finally devoured these numerous Evil Cultivators, who were like malignant tumors, like a giant maw!

"Boom!--"

Many spirit boats carrying low-level cultivators collapsed and disintegrated during the journey, instantly perishing like brilliant blood-red fireworks, exploding into dust and annihilating their bodies and souls.

Only a large number of Nascent Soul True Lord and Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord can resist the crushing power of this three-palace structure that traverses space and time!

"Ah!! You old man of longevity! You old man of Heavenly Dao! You are so insidious!!"

The Three Saints Dao Lord let out a shrill and venomous roar, almost going mad.

The First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng exuded azure Dao power from his mouth, looking tired, but his eyes revealed a joyful smile.

"Old Qu, it's your turn! I need a moment to catch my breath!"
