As Qinglian Avatar and shattered the Demonic Palm of Mitian with a single sword strike, countless frenzied shouts erupted from the Buddhist-Daoist Allied Army.

God knows how depressed they were before.

No matter how many powerful beings are sent, as long as they tear through the barrier of the Demon Realm and enter, they will be easily wiped out by this demonic hand and turned into a foul-smelling swamp.

Only the Daoist Five Elements managed to fight the Dao Artifact to a standstill with his Dao artifacts, but ultimately he could not resist the erosion of the decaying energy and perished, becoming food for the Demon King of the Declining World.

Now, this senior Venerable Qinglian Shangren, with an incomparably domineering demeanor, cleaved the Heavenly Demon Palm with a single sword strike, unaffected by any decaying aura, demonstrating the spirit to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Demon King of the Declining World of Decline.

Of course, the allied forces should be overjoyed.

On the other side, compared to the jubilation of the Buddhist-Daoist Allied Army, the atmosphere on the Demon Sect side was rather subdued. Although they still stubbornly insisted that the Demon King of the Declining World would surely win, they were already feeling uneasy and anxious.

In a short time, the smiles shifted from the Demon Sect sect to the Buddhist-Daoist Allied Army alliance.

The battlefield situation changes so rapidly, just like the wind and clouds in the sky.

Only the Demon King of the Declining World remained indifferent and calm, as if the sword strike that Qinglian Avatar was not enough to surprise him.

This is normal. No one knows how much the insights gained from refining the origin of the Nirvana Demon Realm, as well as the unique environment of the world during the final tribulation, greatly enhanced the strength of the Demon King of the Declining World.

At this moment, the Demon King of the Declining World was even confident of killing any one of the six Dao Merging cultivators fighting in the sky above.

It was this confidence that allowed him to remain calm and composed even when facing the Qinglian Avatar wielding the Sword of Shattering.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Demon King of the Declining World slowly stood up. With one step, a pure gray realm suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, silently spreading in all directions.

It was not pure black, but rather the absence of the radiant color of all things, as if the spirit of heaven and earth had been eroded and plundered by some terrifying force. Wherever it passed, the many stars suspended in the sky above the Demon Realm realm trembled, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth receded at an even faster speed, and even the threads of law were breaking.

Only that figure, with her flowing hair and an air of arrogance, stood beneath the gray sky, as if at the center of the world. She gently raised her hand, extended a single index finger, and casually lowered it towards the Qinglian Avatar. With a slight parting of her lips, she uttered two words: "Spiritual Decay!"

As the two words fell, they instantly transformed into two sky-covering Demon Pattern, and Thunderclap explosion resounded throughout the universe.

That plump, white finger suddenly swelled up violently, transforming in an instant into a giant pillar, carrying a massive amount of decaying energy, and fell down in a mighty torrent.

Wherever the giant pillar passed, the light of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth dimmed and dissipated rapidly, as if it had lost something extremely important. The Qinglian Avatar was surprised to find that the power within its body was also affected. The vast and boundless Azure Lotus Chaos Divine Power was uncontrollably overflowing from its limbs and bones.

Although the speed wasn't fast, it was enough to surprise him.

It should be noted that although the Qinglian Avatar is not Chaos Body, it is still inscribed with the Dao of Chaos and is further enhanced by the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Fiends Grand Formation, thus possessing the same invulnerability to all laws.

Even under these circumstances, it was still affected by the so-called 'Spiritual Decay' finger, which shows the power of the Demon King of the Declining World.

"But that's all!"

With her eyelids lowered, the chaotic energy around the Qinglian Avatar's body suddenly intensified, rising upwards and swaying like a raging Chaos Fire.

He took a step forward, his five fingers clenched tightly, a layer of dark yellow crystalline substance covering his arm, and threw a punch.

' Qinglian Tyrant Fist!'

Boom!!

This punch is Main God Skill based purely on the Matter System, and it is offensive.

He abandoned all the power of the laws, forged the power into himself, and then unleashed it with his fist.

With a single punch, his domineering will surged forth, causing the Great Void to tremble violently. The Nirvana Demon Realm shook violently, countless mountains collapsed, and rivers, like startled dragons and snakes, sprang up from the ground.

The power of a single punch is truly astounding!

The Qinglian Tyrant Fist clashed with the Spirit Decay Finger.

Extreme dominance corresponds to extreme erosion.

Two forces of completely different natures collided violently, crushing each other, each trying to completely obliterate the other.

However, because the strength exerted by both sides was extremely close, they were deadlocked, and neither could gain the upper hand.

This scene caused the Demon King of the Declining World to frown, clearly not having anticipated such an event.

The Qinglian Avatar incarnation remained perfectly calm, muttering to herself, "Hmm, let's maintain this relatively even balance, making it a bit difficult, so as not to scare certain people."

In fact, from the moment the two clashed, the Qinglian Avatar, relying on the sub-body of the Eye of Insight and its own greater strength, had a pretty good grasp of the ultimate combat power of the Demon King of the Declining World.

After a simple comparison, he discovered that the Demon King of the Declining World was far inferior to himself, let alone compared to his true form. So he began to deliberately suppress his power and fight.

"A deity who specializes in cultivating physical strength, I wonder if you can withstand this finger strike."

The Demon King of the Declining World smiled coldly and extended another finger, "Body decay, divine body rots!"

Imperceptible air currents converge from the darkness; each individual current is inconspicuous, but when they come together, they transform into a mighty river, cascading down.

Wherever the river flowed, the space turned pitch black. The fist that the Azure Qinglian Avatar unleashed, far harder than divine metal, caused the wilderness to darken rapidly upon touching the celestial river. Its Sturdiness Immortal skin visibly wrinkled, becoming loose and shriveled, and in some places even began to crack, oozing foul-smelling black pus and blood.

A feeling of weakness welled up inside him, as if it were seeping from his very bones, causing the Qinglian Avatar to frown, as if sensing a predicament.

Seeing this, the Demon King of the Declining World was not pleased, but instead continued to use his supernatural powers.

'When the spirit declines, the heart of the Dao is clouded.'

The Qinglian Avatar darkness before his eyes, and countless chaotic and fragmented fragments of memory transformed into illusions of inner demons, engulfing his mind and attempting to crush his Dao heart and will.

When fortune declines, cause and effect are reversed.

As if a gray longsword appeared out of thin air, it struck the Fortune of the Qinglian Avatar incarnation, causing inexplicable fluctuations. Suddenly, numerous calamities emerged in the world, and even the balance of power within his body became unstable due to various abnormal reasons, as if they were about to evolve into a dead end and bury him.

Spiritual decline, physical decline, mental decline, fortune decline!

The four decaying forces descended from all directions, attacking the Qinglian Avatar.

The pervasive, decaying energy seemed intent on turning him into part of the decaying dust of the world, completely assimilating and devouring him.

In an instant, a layer of mercury-like grayness enveloped the body of the Qinglian Avatar, eroding and stripping away its life force.

The chaotic energy clashed fiercely with it, the two sides like two legions, engaging in a bloody battle.

The Qinglian Avatar roared and stepped into the sky. Its body trembled, and the chaotic energy transformed into True Dragon, roaring wildly. Terrifying power poured into its limbs, bones, and internal organs.

Buzz~!!

Above the Chaos Azure Lotus Platform, divine light swirled, Twelve Heavenly Gods and Fiends Grand Formation was activated, evolving into a Chaos Battle Axe that cleaved apart the tangled, decaying energy that clung to the bone like maggots.

The powerful blood and energy surged, giving rise to deities who roared proudly, fighting against the demons that evolved from the decaying energy.

Rumble!!

Above the boundless ocean formed by Blood Qi, a crimson sun suddenly rose, radiating an extremely powerful and masculine aura. It swept across the sky, seemingly preparing to crush the Demon King of the Declining World in mid-air with a domineering and fierce manner.

This attitude finally ignited the rage within the arrogant Demon King of the Declining World, who roared, "Arrogant!"

Black magic danced wildly behind his head, like a demon king, his chilling aura shaking the Nirvana Demon Realm, his Berserk killing intent burning Unrivaled.

He raised his hand and grabbed, and a pitch-black chain, seemingly ethereal yet solid, formed from various fundamental laws such as 'decay,' 'annihilation,' and 'corruption,' twisted and rose upwards.

The Qinglian Avatar's eyes narrowed, "Dao-Sacrificing Chain?!"

He recognized the twisted chain as the "Dao-Sacrificing Shackle," Heaven-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure the Demon King of the Declining World had initially relied upon to become famous throughout the various Divine Realm.

It is said that cultivators entangled by this Innate Spirit Treasure will not only have their physical bodies bound, but also the corresponding concepts will perish.

It was as if something had been erased from the level of the Great Dao.

Mysterious and unpredictable, with overwhelming power.

Tear!!

The Dao-Sacrificing Chain suddenly trembled, breaking free from the grasp of the Demon King of the Declining World. They traversed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, shifting within the laws of the Great Dao, making it impossible to predict where they would appear next.

The Blood Qi- red, blazing sun crashed down, only to be bound by Dao-Sacrificing Chain that suddenly appeared somewhere.

In an instant, the concept of 'existence' corresponding to the intense Blood Qi seemed to be erased, turning into semi-transparent droplets that fell and corroded giant craters on the land of the Demon Realm.

Some Demon Sect cultivators who were unwittingly tainted by it screamed as their souls Dissolution, turning into mindless monsters that rampaged wildly.

One strike was ineffective.

The Qinglian Avatar continued its attack.

Chaotic energy surged within his body, expelling the four forces of decay, and within his powerful physique, surging Divine Power boiled and flowed.

The numerous Dao Merging Great God imprinted on the Chaos Azure Lotus Platform were illuminated one by one, radiating brilliant supernatural light.

' Yin-Yang Life and Death Shears!'

' The Great Five Elements Yin-Yang Divine Lightning!'

' Five Elements Divine Light!'

' Ten Directions Annihilation Fist!'

' Yuantu Sword!'

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

Within the Nirvana Demon Realm, the Qinglian Avatar treads upon the eight wastelands, with numerous extraordinary phenomena appearing behind him, resembling a divine emperor.

Punch after punch was thrown through the air!

Boom!!

The sky collapsed and the earth cracked. All Dao Merging Great God and techniques were unleashed, scattering billions of spiritual lights and countless auspicious rays. The already shattered space and earth became even more broken.

The encroaching gray sky retreated rapidly under the powerful blows of these various Great God techniques. The surging demonic energy tried to counterattack, but it was utterly powerless.

Even the Demon King of the Declining World couldn't help but twitch his eyelids, staring in disbelief at the scene before him.

He truly hadn't expected that someone could master so many Dao Merging Great God abilities at the god-like level.

This is the complete and utter power of the Dao Merging.

This is not the censored version used by the Reverend Blood River before.

Any one of these moves could easily kill a nine-ringed deity.

Even now, it's quite difficult for me to resist.

But the sheer number of attacks at this level is simply outrageous.

Left with no other choice, the Demon King of the Declining World pulled over the Dao-Sacrificing Chain, encircling his body to form a defensive barrier.

Suddenly, a divine sword radiating five-colored light appeared in his hand.

This sword has four sides, each engraved with mountains, rivers, the sun and moon, stars, lakes and seas, with five-colored spiritual light rotating and changing around it.

As the Demon King of the Declining World slashed down with his sword, the overwhelming five-colored light transformed into extremely sharp sword beams, attacking the numerous Great God techniques unleashed by the Qinglian Avatar.

The battle reached its climax at this moment.

The continuous clashes drew the attention of almost everyone on the battlefield.

The eyes of the gods became blank. How could someone at the same Divine Fire Realm unleash such terrifying power?

Could it be that we're not practicing the same cultivation system?!

The six Dao Merging cultivators were even more shocked.

They actually sensed a profound sense of threat from the two gods who were engaged in a fierce battle.

This means that both the Demon King of the Declining World and the Venerable Qinglian possess the power to threaten their lives, which is simply unbelievable.

It should be understood that even if a deity can unleash the power of Dao Merging cultivator, there is still a vast distance between them and actually killing someone who has reached the Dao Merging.

The two sides are not on the same level in terms of survivability, endurance in combat, and ability to survive.

Under normal circumstances, the limit would be to inflict some damage on Perfected Lord Xuanwei and escape unscathed, as was the case nine hundred years ago when the Qinglian Avatar did.

If one were to kill Dao Merging being in the guise of a deity, the number of such individuals who have existed since the Spirit Saint Domain can be counted on one hand.

Those who exist, those who have survived to this day, are all undoubtedly important figures in the Saint Realm; a single stomp of their foot can make the Three Realms tremble.

The thoughts of others did not affect the two who were fighting.

The Demon King of the Declining World and the Qinglian Avatar entered full battle mode, their fighting spirit Berserk, their boiling blood and Divine Power seemingly illuminating the entire Demon Realm, creating a dazzling spectacle.

War!!

Fight to the death!!

The two cast aside all distractions and engaged in a life-or-death duel, moving swiftly and fiercely in a frenzied battle.

At this moment, the Demon King of the Declining World had already regarded the Qinglian Avatar as a great calamity that blocked his path, believing it to be a disaster sent down by the Heavenly Dao.

As long as it can be killed, one's Dao heart and will will inevitably undergo a transformation, and the act of refining the origin of the Demon Realm realm and imprinting it on the Heavenly Heart will no longer be hindered.

Meanwhile, the Qinglian Avatar used the Demon King of the Declining World as an excellent warm-up target.

To prepare for the more intense turmoil and fighting that is likely to follow.

Both were extremely fast, traversing the heavens and earth. Under the deliberate guidance of the Qinglian Avatar, they would frequently arrive at the border, utterly destroying the defensive formations constructed by the Demon Sect.

This enraged the Demon Sect sect, but they were powerless to do anything about it.

The Demon King of the Declining World was also helpless. He was restricted from leaving the Nirvana Demon Realm to refine the origin of the interface and could not leave the Demon Realm. He also needed to protect the core of the origin in the center of the interface and was often led by the nose by the Qinglian Avatar.

After this happened several times, seeing that the aura of the Qinglian Avatar remained powerful and undiminished, the Demon King of the Declining World realized that his plan to wear down this formidable enemy by relying on the terrain had failed.

His mind shifted quickly, and he immediately decided to seize the opportunity and launch a full-scale attack.

Boom!!

After another exchange of blows between the two.

The Demon King of the Declining World used the momentum to retreat, spreading his five fingers, each fingertip radiating a dark, demonic light.

Spiritual decline, physical decline, mental decline, fortune decline... the Dao declines!

The Five Decays of Heaven and Man are simultaneously manifested!

Together they constitute a Five Decays Domain.

Within that realm, everything was decaying, perishing, disintegrating, annihilating, and returning to absolute nothingness.

The Demon King of the Declining World stood within the Five Decays Domain, his robes fluttering in the wind. He looked down at the Qinglian Avatar, like Demon Emperor who held the reins of heaven and earth.

"Heaven creates all things to nourish man, yet man has nothing to repay Heaven; decay and death are the ultimate fate of all! Death!!"

His voice was neither loud nor soft, yet it resonated clearly in every corner of the Nirvana Demon Realm, even exploding deep within the souls of many spiritual cultivators.

Endless surge of despair erupted.

The Demon Realm and the distant Great Void seemed to be submerged together in this boundless ocean of despair and decay.

The six Dao Merging cultivators were deeply shaken.

They could sense that they were unable to withstand this attack.

The Five Decays of Heaven and Man Great God truly terrifying!

In this bleak world, all spirits bowed their heads under the gaze of those demonic eyes.

Only the man in the green robe fluttered as he strode forward and delivered a powerful punch.

"Chaos Azure Lotus Fist!!"
