The Heavenly Dao Did Not Manifest?

The Demon Race army charged forward with a thunderous roar.

Demon Qi surged into the sky, causing the Star River to tremble.

True Demon are as numerous as hairs on a cow, Heavenly Demon are everywhere, and there are hundreds of Demon Lord level experts at a glance!

After all, this part of the Demon Race was a force that fled to remote star fields to hide after the Demon Realm was destroyed in the past, and their strength was too great.

Besides Dugu Yuqing, Lu Rang, Lin Jiuzheng, Qing Chen, who had already made their move, everyone else also launched their attack.

Nan Feng appeared before the Demon Race army. She suddenly closed her eyes. She did not take off the Long Qin she was carrying on her back, but a zither of rules appeared in front of her!

She closed her eyes, her slender hands playing the zither of rules!

The music was transcendent, like the profound sounds of the universe, its notes soaring and filling the sky.

In an instant, all the Demon Race within the thousands of miles enveloped by her music were startled.

The group, who had been brimming with murderous intent just moments before, suddenly stopped, their faces showing a blank expression, which then turned into one of extreme serenity!

It was as if I had heard the most wonderful music in the world, comprehended the true meaning of cultivation, and forgotten all the struggles and killings in the world.

Forget worldly concerns and yearn for the Dao!

Many Demon Race cultivators are comprehending the Dao on the spot and breaking through!

Even several powerful Demon Lord level were shocked. They felt that under the influence of this music, their understanding of the Great Dao's rules was rapidly deepening, and their own rule domains were unconsciously being released...

"What's going on? This girl's music is actually helping us?"

"Quick, this is a great fortuitous opportunity! Hearing her music can lead to a breakthrough!"

Many Demon Race cultivators were surprised and hurriedly rushed into the domain of Nan Feng's zither music.

Countless Demon Race broke through their limits, experiencing tremendous improvements.

"Wrong!"

Suddenly, one of the demon lords sensed something and said:

"Her music... has an eerie quality, threatening to kill you!"

He quickly covered his ears!

However, it was too late. Tens of thousands of Demon Race cultivators instantly turned into fragments of the rules and disappeared into this star field, leaving not even a trace of their bodies!

Only a few demon lords remained alive, but even they were filled with dread.

This is too strange. Although the music did not directly destroy them, it did cause them to show signs of turning into the Dao.

"Plug her ears and kill her!"

A demon lord roared!

But as soon as he finished shouting, his face turned pale and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!

Suddenly, within his domain of rules, the phantom of a white wolf appeared out of nowhere!

The snow-white wolf, noble as the moon, was like a Deity wolf revered by all beasts, breaking its domain of rules!

--This was none other than Nan Feng's Heavenly Wolf. As she played the zither, the Dao Domain of Demon Lord level figure was fully unleashed, revealing even the slightest flaw!

Sirius's observational skills are terrifying; he silently broke through the rule domain of a demon lord!

The demon lord was severely injured on the spot and was almost dying.

The other demon lords attempted to help, but Nan Feng's zither music suddenly changed, the sound waves transforming into terrifying weapons that attacked!

The demon lords immediately struggled to put up a resistance!

Ziling was painting in the sky. Her painting was not yet finished. At the moment, she was also taking into account the situation on the field and sending Su Baiqian to any position on the battlefield!

Meanwhile, although Ziling's painting was not yet finished, large numbers of Demon Race cultivators disappeared!

Because... Yunxi is painting!

"Wow, drawing is so much fun..."

Her face was full of excitement. During this time, when she was bored in the Small Courtyard, she would learn a little bit of everything. At this moment, she was recreating Ziling's Way of Painting!

At first, she painted a picture for a dozen or so people, then it attracted hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of people...

She has already painted more than a dozen paintings.

At the same time, she scattered the completed paintings across the battlefield. Instantly, the Demon Race army that had become Painting Slave reappeared, but turned against the Demon Race and attacked them!

"Sister Yunxi's comprehension... is terrifying."

Even Ziling, while painting, had a hint of surprise in her big eyes.

Yunxi learns very quickly!

Gongya took a deep breath, and suddenly, she conjured up a... vast teapot in her mind before the battlefield!

The Vessel of Rules!

The teapot exhaled and exhaled in all directions. Under its suppression, all the rules of the Demon Race were stripped away and melted down, turning the Demon Race into useless people.

Xin Ning stood with her hands behind her back, walking through the battlefield. She looked harmless, with very clear, large eyes.

However, when an endless army of Demon Race appeared before her, she merely shook her head slightly and said:

"Fighting and killing are no good!"

Haven't you all learned "Songli Xing"?

"I'll read it to you!"

As she spoke, she began to recite poetry.

"When lice infest armor, countless people perish."

"White bones lie exposed in the wilderness, and for a thousand miles not a rooster crows."

"Of the people, only one in a hundred survived; the thought of it breaks one's heart."

At that moment, a book of rules seemed to appear behind her. The book of rules turned as she recited, and golden characters rose up on the pages. Each character seemed to contain the rules of the Great Dao.

The characters merged with the world around them. At this moment, the space in front of Xin Ning, where tens of thousands of Demon Race were located, suddenly changed, as if some mysterious and unpredictable power was at work, and the energy slashed down in countless layers.

The people were all dead; death was spreading. Countless Demon Race lost their vitality and died on the spot!

Bones lay exposed in the wilderness, rotting and multiplying; countless corpses turned into pus, a stark contrast of white bones!

For a thousand miles, not a rooster crows; under a thousand miles of starry sky, no one can escape; deathly silence reigns!

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of Demon Race were slaughtered by this mysterious and unpredictable Dao, leaving not a single one alive!

Utterly horrifying!

"What kind of forbidden incantation are you chanting?!"

Those who survived were almost all powerful Demon Lord level, and now they too were filled with fear.

How can you even fight like this? It's just a little girl, she only recited a few words.

Xin Ning blinked and said:

"This isn't a forbidden spell."

"This is an ancient poem. You should learn more ancient poems, you know? After learning ancient poems, you will know that fighting and killing are not good at all. They are too cruel and too brutal."

Upon hearing this, the remaining demon lords couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

They really wanted to say, "Damn it, you still call fighting and killing cruel and heartless?"

Look at these hundreds of thousands of Demon Race skeletons—who is truly cruel?

"Demoness, I'll kill you!"

Enraged, a demon lord pounced and attacked.

Xin Ning sighed softly and said:

Why do you always think about killing people?

"Alright... if you absolutely must kill someone, then you should learn from 'Ode to Gallantry'."

She stepped forward calmly and said:

"Kill one man in ten steps, leave no trace for a thousand miles."

"Having accomplished his task, he dusted off his clothes and departed, concealing his identity and name."

As the Book of Rules turned, countless Great Dao energy descended, revealing the cause and effect in the Unseen and influencing the flow of time and space.

"No!"

The demon lord cried out in despair, feeling his life being inexplicably strangled, as if he were about to be erased from the cause and effect of this world!

The next moment, this demon lord was torn to pieces!

He died.

Xin Ning, however, calmly stepped over his corpse and continued forward!

The other demon lords were trembling at this moment!

The battle on the field has reached a fever pitch!

However, even though Nan Feng, Xin Ning, Dugu Yuqing and others possessed astonishing combat power, the Demon Race army they faced was simply too large.

The massive Demon Race army, numbering in the millions, surged forth like a flood.

They... were like a few stone pillars blocking the flood; the flood could not shake them, but they could not stop the vast flow of water!

Even with Yun Yinchen, Mu Wanqing, and others fighting fiercely, they were unable to stabilize the overall situation!

Moreover, everyone's divine power is being consumed in enormous quantities.

As time passed, the Demon Race launched a frenzied attack, and their situation became increasingly difficult!

They could single-handedly fight against Demon Lord level powerhouses several times their size, which was practically heaven-defying, but now it's not several times their size...

Instead, it's dozens of times more!

There are countless Heavenly Demons and True Demon level beings.

The enemy forces are as vast as the sea!

Soon, almost all of Dugu Yuqing and the others were injured!

The battle is going badly!

Su Baiqian was drenched in sweat after rescuing people everywhere!

As time passed, many Demon Race broke through their lines and were about to charge into the Great Ruin Realm!

"It's my turn."

At this moment, on that lonely warship in the Great Ruin Realm, Jiang Li sat alone and spoke softly.

In front of him was a table, but there was no chessboard on it. Only a ghost lay quietly, gnawing on a piece of hard mud.

Jiang Li raised his hand and placed his piece!

Endless Heibai lines spread out, forming a vast chessboard that stretched for nearly a million miles!

This chessboard... is a product of the rules!

Moreover, under the expectation shaped by those rules, there seemed to be a terrifying phantom of a giant tortoise, a tortoise that seemed capable of bearing the weight of the heavens!

--Even with his mastery of the rules of the chessboard, Jiang Li alone would have struggled to achieve this. But now, with Xuanwu's strength multiplied and their combined power... they are simply too formidable!

Half of the Demon Race army's millions of troops are now engulfed by this chessboard!

"It's over, are they really not human anymore?!"

At this moment, Dugu Yuqing and the others were stunned. They turned around and looked at Jiang Li, their eyes... clearly showing some fear.

"No!"

Lu Rang spoke up directly, "Is this even playable?"

"That's going too far, Senior Brother Jiang Li. Let me give you a piece of advice: you can't handle this!"

Qing Chen also spoke up.

Jiang Li, however, smiled slightly and said:

"Don't worry, fellow Senior Brother... I'll only be on the defensive."

"As long as they don't invade the Great Ruin Realm and stay peacefully on the battlefield, then they are safe."

In fact, maintaining the chessboard spanning millions of miles had already pushed Jiang Li's power to its limit!

The area he can truly actively destroy is only about 100,000 miles wide, and he can probably only kill a few hundred thousand Demon Race at a time...

The war has reached its climax!

"This realm truly holds unparalleled fortuitous opportunity."

On the main warship at the rear of the Demon Race army, Xue Mingcheng suddenly spoke.

He stood up.

"Have you all noticed that these ants are actually using my Demon Race allied forces as a whetstone to hone their skills?"

He spoke.

"Indeed, these ants are very bold; through fighting... they seem to have pushed themselves to their limits!"

"I want to break through the limits!"

Peng Tianxia's expression was also extremely solemn.

Even though they were Demon Lord, they were deeply shocked at this moment. To dare to break through in this way was to be a peerless genius even among the Demon Race, a rare sight throughout the ages.

But now there is a group of...

"I can already sense it; the energy of heaven and earth is shifting. They are about to enter the realm of the God Lord."

Xue Mingcheng suddenly smiled and said:

"If at this moment they find that heaven and earth have fallen silent, and the Great Dao is still, and what awaits them is not a leap of their ultimate strength, but a precipice of ten thousand feet, do you think these geniuses will have their Dao heart shattered?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Zhenhai and the others were all taken aback.

"Brother Mingcheng means..."

Xue Mingcheng spoke each word calmly:

"To attain the Divine Lord Realm, one needs to emulate the Great Dao and form one's own Divine Lord Domain. There are only two ways to do this: one is to receive divine blessings and advance by observing the Dao of predecessors; the other is to seek it from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and observe the Dao of Creation within the Qi of Heaven and Earth."

"Originally, I was wondering if this Great Ruin Realm might be hiding any God-Lord or God-King level powerhouses, but now it seems that it isn't."

"Because these ants have pushed themselves to the limit in order to seek a breakthrough, it shows that they can only rely on themselves. There is no god or deity who can bestow upon them the principles of the Way for them to learn from."

"So, they're going to take the second route."

A smile appeared in his eyes as he said:

"What if we join forces and block out the energy flow between heaven and earth?"

"The Heavenly Dao is not revealed; they have reached their limit, yet they cannot break through... What awaits them is death."

Upon hearing this, the many Demon Lords all tensed up, then were overjoyed!
