Starting as Peak Master, I Sign for the Ultimate Emperor Armament!

[Divine Ability: Sun Moon Wheel]

[Magic Tool: Celestial Array Dao Brush (Approaching Dao Realm magic tool)]

[Destiny: Green]

"Heh!"

"A pair of twins, no less!"

Hua Yunfei sneered inwardly. Just as he expected, Nether Ghost Master had backing.

The one behind him was none other than the Sun Moon Divine Church, one of the Eastern Region's two great ultimate holy lands!

A top-tier power possessing an Ultimate Emperor Armament!

Having curried favor with them, Nether Ghost Master felt emboldened. He joined forces with the Blood Demon Clan, intending to annex the Backer Sect in one fell swoop.

Hua Yunfei swept his gaze over everyone in the air and then looked at Nether Ghost Master. "Your people, are they all here?"

Nether Ghost Master forced a smile and said proudly, "They're all here. The Backer Sect's day of reckoning has arrived!"

"Since they're all here, this will be easier!"

Hua Yunfei and Xiaxuan Zhenren exchanged a knowing glance, then simultaneously looked towards the depths of the Backer Sect.

There lay the Backer Sect's ancestral grounds!

Even deeper was the location of the ancestral mausoleum, where all the deceased ancestors of the Backer Sect were buried.

"This is going to be good!"

"Heh heh, at my age, I'm actually feeling that fiery passion again!"

"Hahaha, me too!"

The elders' faces flushed with excitement. They all looked towards the ancestral grounds behind Backer Peak.

"What's going on?"

Nether Ghost Master and the other experts from the Nether Ghost Palace exchanged bewildered glances.

Had the elders of the Backer Sect been scared witless? Why were they smiling when death was upon them?

"Something's not right!"

One elder followed Hua Yunfei's gaze and his expression turned to one of horror.

From the ancestral grounds deep within Backer Peak, a world-shattering Dao principle suddenly erupted, its terrifying pressure descending like a tidal wave!

Instantly, all the cultivators from the Nether Ghost Palace and the Blood Demon Clan below the Heavenly Human Realm were forced to their knees.

No matter how they struggled, they couldn't get up!

Nether Ghost Master's teeth chattered, and the remaining Heavenly Human Realm cultivators felt a chill run down their spines.

This pressure... it was from an Approaching Dao Realm expert!

"Little brat, do you still recognize this old man?"

From the depths of the ancestral grounds, a figure shot up into the sky, his aura immense. Every word he spoke, every move he made, was imbued with the Dao.

His simple words instantly repelled Nether Ghost Master.

He retreated nine steps, finally unable to hold back, and spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked up, staring at the newcomer with terror.

"Xuancheng Daoren! Didn't you pass away three hundred years ago?"

Xuancheng Daoren, clad in a blue robe, held a three-foot-long green sword.

He landed in the center of the crowd, his expression calm, and slowly said, "You believe such a lie meant for children?"

Nether Ghost Master: "..."

"Greetings, Uncle-Master Xuancheng!"

"Greetings, Grand-Uncle-Master Xuancheng!"

All the elders and disciples, including Hua Yunfei and Xiaxuan Zhenren, bowed respectfully.

"Rise, there's no need for such formalities."

Xuancheng Daoren chuckled like a kind elder.

Hua Yunfei glanced at the grim-faced Nether Ghost Master with a smile.

The Backer Sect is far deeper than you imagine!

Even he didn't know how many secrets the Backer Sect held!

Behind them, two grey-robed old men who had been resting with their eyes closed suddenly opened them. Their expressions turned solemn as they looked at Xuancheng Daoren, hesitating to speak.

Xuancheng Daoren looked at the two of them. "Sun Moon Divine Church, Li Qingchang, Li Qingping, have you two been well?"

The three were old acquaintances, figures from the same era.

Li Qingchang's expression was unusual. "I never expected that even though my brother and I have the resources of a sacred land, our cultivation realms would still lag so far behind yours!"

"Heh, it's just talent."

Xuancheng Daoren waved his hand and said, "Do you two want to leave on your own, or do you need me to escort you out?"

The two brothers exchanged a look, a smile appearing on their faces as they said:

"Xuancheng, even though you are now an expert in the Approaching Dao Realm, I'm afraid you still can't protect the Backer Sect by yourself today!"

As the words fell, Nether Ghost Master, with a nod from the two, took out another bag.

Three figures immediately rushed out of the bag.

Instantly, the terrifying aura of the Approaching Dao Realm intensified, filling the space between heaven and earth.

The elders of the Backer Sect led their disciples to retreat far away.

Even Hua Yunfei and Xiaxuan Zhenren had to move out of the immediate vicinity of the four Approaching Dao Realm experts!

Four Approaching Dao Realm experts!

Li Qingping chuckled, "Xuancheng, how is it? Are you satisfied with this grand gift?"

Xuancheng Daoren narrowed his eyes. He recognized two of the three people before him.

One was a black-robed old man, the ancestor of the Nether Ghost Palace, Nether Ghost Master's master, Gui Xuan Daoren!

The other was Li Chunxiao of the Sun Moon Divine Church, the father of Li Qingchang and Li Qingping!

The last one, though human in form, was entirely blood-red, with a pair of bull horns, and sword-like teeth in his mouth, giving him a ferocious appearance.

An Approaching Dao Realm expert of the Blood Demon Clan!

"Xuancheng, I didn't expect you to still be alive!"

Gui Xuan Daoren sneered.

"If you're not dead, then of course I wouldn't be!"

Xuancheng Daoren snorted, his expression becoming solemn.

Facing three opponents, he didn't have absolute confidence in victory!

The Blood Demon in the Approaching Dao Realm disdained to speak. "A mere first-layer Approaching Dao Realm, I can kill you with a raise of my hand!"

"Indeed!"

"You brat Xuancheng, although you are more outstanding than my two sons, you will surely die today!"

Li Chunxiao took out a Devil Subduing Pestle, a top-tier magic artifact of the Approaching Dao Realm with terrifying power.

He had once used the Devil Subduing Pestle to suppress and kill an existence at the fourth layer of the Approaching Dao Realm!

At that time, his own cultivation was only at the third layer of the Approaching Dao Realm!

Among the three, Li Chunxiao was the strongest, having reached the fifth layer of the Approaching Dao Realm!

Gui Xuan Daoren and the Blood Demon were both at the fourth layer of the Approaching Dao Realm.

Xuancheng Daoren, however, was only at the first layer of the Approaching Dao Realm, putting him at a complete disadvantage.

"Enough nonsense, I'll kill you first!"

The Blood Demon could no longer contain his killing intent. He wanted to kill Xuancheng Daoren and devour his blood.

He was already at the peak of the fourth layer of the Approaching Dao Realm, and devouring Xuancheng Daoren's blood would surely allow him to break through to the fifth layer!

The Blood Demon took out a blood-red greatsword, tens of meters long, and slashed it fiercely at Xuancheng Daoren. The powerful Dao principles instantly tore through space!

Facing the Blood Demon, who was three layers higher in cultivation, Xuancheng Daoren remained calm.

He slowly swung out a sword.

In an instant, the sword Dao principles tore through heaven and earth!

The sword light flashed!

Pfft!
