The Blood Devil, a sudden upheaval

The main reason is that everyone else was affected by the Devil Cultivator, making it impossible for them to concentrate on collecting the points tokens.

Not to mention that all of them were injured.

The experiences of Li Yunjing and Zhao Fan are far beyond what these people can compare to.

With his perfect score in the first two rounds, Li Yunjing secured first place in the overall ranking of the Taiyi Immortal Ceremony with a perfect record of first place in all three rounds!

Chu Lingxiao walked up to Li Yunjing, looked at him with a complicated expression, and finally extended his hand. "Congratulations, Li Yunjing, you won. I'm completely convinced."

Li Yunjing reached out and shook his hand. "Thank you for your kind offer."

Luo Qingyan and Li Changfeng also stepped forward to offer their congratulations, and even those sect disciples who had previously looked down on Li Yunjing now bowed respectfully.

Regardless, Li Yunjing's reputation has been greatly enhanced after this Taiyi Immortal Ceremony.

Zhang Jianchen personally presented the award to Li Yunjing, handing Li Yunjing a token representing the True Disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, and said loudly:

"I hereby announce that the Immortal Alliance will provide the Luozhen Sect with the highest level of support for ten years, with all resources provided as a priority! At the same time, Li Yunjing is hereby granted the position of Honorary Elder of the Immortal Alliance's Law Enforcement Hall, granting him the authority to mobilize the forces of the Immortal Alliance's branches throughout the land!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing was immediately taken aback.

So I've become an elder of the Immortal Alliance?

Li Yunjing found it unbelievable.

Becoming an elder of the Immortal Alliance is no easy feat.

Not only must one possess high cultivation level and prestige, but the application must also be approved by a collective vote of the current Immortal Alliance elders and the Alliance Leader.

What merit or ability does Li Yunjing possess to become an elder of the Immortal Alliance? Especially an elder of the powerful and influential Law Enforcement Hall.

Although he was only an honorary elder, he was still given the title of elder.

From now on, when Li Yunjing meets other elders of the Immortal Alliance, he will no longer need to bow; a nod will suffice.

Everyone else present stared wide-eyed.

Everyone was shocked by Li Yunjing's sudden appointment as an honorary elder of the Immortal Alliance.

Especially Xiao Tianxing.

It should be noted that Li Yunjing, strictly speaking, his junior.

When they first met, Li Yunjing was far weaker than Xiao Tianxing, and was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

But now he has transformed into an honorary elder of the Immortal Alliance.

This was something Xiao Tianxing found extremely difficult to accept.

However, Xiao Tianxing was optimistic. He comforted himself, thinking that with Li Yunjing, an honorary elder, things would be much easier for him within the Immortal Alliance.

Zhang Jianchen looked at Li Yunjing, about to speak again.

But just then, something unexpected happened!

Boom...

A deafening roar came from the direction of the main peak of Mount Taiyi.

The entire Mount Taiyi shook violently, the sky instantly darkened, dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

An extremely terrifying demonic aura erupted from the main peak like a volcanic eruption, instantly engulfing the entire Taiyi Mountain Range.

This demonic energy was a hundred or even a thousand times stronger than that of the Old Devil Blood Shadow, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

"What happened?!"

Zhang Jianchen and True Person Qingxuan's expressions changed drastically at the same time, and they suddenly looked up at the main peak.

At the summit of the main peak, the grand hall had been reduced to ruins.

A black beam of light shot into the sky from the ruins, and within the beam, a blurry, enormous figure slowly emerged.

The figure was a thousand feet tall, surrounded by black demonic flames, and his eyes were like two blood moons. He simply stood there, and the heavens and earth changed color, and all things submitted to him.

"Hahaha! I'm finally out!"

An old, hoarse voice, filled with endless resentment, resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Blood Devil Patriarch!"

True Person Qingxuan's face turned ashen, and he cried out in despair.

Everyone was stunned.

No one expected that although the Old Devil Blood Shadow was dead, the life Essence Blood he released before his death would actually trigger an unknown dark power.

This force broke through the seal of the Taiyi Divine Lamp, releasing the great demon sealed inside.

At this time, True Person Qingxuan also revealed some secrets to the public.

The Taiyi Divine Lamp is a treasured heirloom of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, but long ago, a patriarch of the Taiyi Immortal Sect sealed a great demon inside it.

This rendered the Taiyi Divine Lamp unusable; otherwise, the great demon would surely have been born.

In order to trap and kill that great demon, the patriarch specially built a grand hall, equipped with an unparalleled array, and placed the Taiyi Divine Lamp there.

Even though the Taiyi Immortal Sect later existed in name only, that main hall remained unscathed.

True Person Qingxuan had already forgotten about this matter.

After all, a long time had passed; that great demon should have been trapped and killed by now.

Who would have thought that the great demon was still alive!

The Blood Devil Patriarch slowly raised his head, his crimson eyes sweeping over the crowd below, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Fresh blood, it's been so long since I've tasted it!"

The Blood Devil Patriarch's voice boomed like thunder above Mount Taiyi, Heavenly Devil energy poured down like ink, turning the azure sky into a deathly dark black.

A towering demonic figure stood atop the main peak, its body ablaze with black demonic flames. Wherever it passed, vegetation withered, Spiritual Qi dissipated, and even the hard white jade steps were corroded, hissing and emitting plumes of black smoke.

Those cultivators with lower cultivation levels convulsed and their skin rapidly withered just from being swept by the demonic energy. Their souls were forcibly extracted from their bodies and transformed into streams of black energy, which were then inhaled into the noses of the Blood Devil Patriarch.

"Ah! Help me!"

"My soul! My soul has been sucked away!"

"..."

The screams of agony echoed throughout the venue, turning the originally celebratory awards ceremony into a living hell.

"Blood Devil Patriarch! Cease your arrogance!"

Zhang Jianchen roared, drawing his Azure Qingyun Sword. Golden Vast Righteous Qi soared into the sky, transforming into a massive sword curtain that blocked the sweeping demonic energy.

"How dare a grain of rice compete with the sun and moon for brilliance?"

The Blood Devil Patriarch chuckled and casually waved his hand.

A black, demonic hand appeared out of thin air, carrying a world-destroying force, and struck at the two of them.

The golden sword curtain and white sword light shattered instantly. Zhang Jianchen was struck as if by a heavy blow, and flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Alliance Leader!"

Everyone was shocked.

Li Yunjing's eyes widened in disbelief.

How come Zhang Jianchen, who just so easily killed the Old Devil Blood Shadow, couldn't even withstand a single move from the Blood Devil Patriarch?

"Hahaha! The righteous path is still so vulnerable!"

The Blood Devil Patriarch let out a wild laugh, formed hand seals, and chanted incantations.

"Ten Thousand Devils Heaven-Devouring Array, activate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Mount Taiyi began to shake violently.

Countless black magical patterns surged from the ground, spreading rapidly along the mountain's veins, quickly forming a massive black barrier that firmly enveloped the entire Mount Taiyi.

Above the barrier, countless hideous demonic shadows writhed and howled, emanating a suffocating pressure.

Sunlight was completely blocked, leaving only a dim, demonic light within the barrier, like a giant prison.

"Oh no! He's sealed off the entire Mount Taiyi!" True Person Qingxuan's face turned deathly pale.

"This formation will continuously absorb the souls and spiritual power of the cultivators within it to nourish the Blood Devil Patriarch. In less than three hours, we will all be drained dry!"

Zhang Jianchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with extreme solemnity.

He tried to channel all his spiritual power and slashed at the barrier with his sword.

The golden sword light landed on the black barrier, only causing a ripple before disappearing without a trace.

"No, the barrier is too strong, and although the remnant soul of the Blood Devil Patriarch is incomplete, it still possesses the strength of Half-Immortal- immortal. We are no match for him at all."
