Maturation, the Scramble Begins

Boom!!!

The earth and sky shook violently.

A beam of seven-colored light shot up from the bottom of the Chaos Abyss, piercing through the clouds and illuminating half of the sky.

The pitch-black night was instantly illuminated as bright as day.

Wherever the rosy light passed, the Sha Qi dissipated, the Spiritual Qi was purified, and even the wind carried a sweet Daoist charm.

Within a radius of a thousand miles, all cultivators could clearly feel the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the world rising wildly, and their meridians felt so comfortable that they almost groaned out loud.

Across the Five Provinces of the Heavenly Spirit Dao Realm, countless people awoke from their sleep, opened their windows, and gazed in the direction of the Chaos Abyss, dumbfounded at the seven-colored pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth.

"It's done! The Dao Fruit has matured!"

In the righteous camp, Zhang Jianchen suddenly stood up, his white robe fluttering in the wind, and his eyes flashed with astonishing light.

Outside the tent, the sound of bugles instantly resounded throughout the entire army.

Waaaaah!

The mournful and urgent bugle calls echoed throughout the entire righteous camp.

All the cultivators rose at the same time, donned their armor, and held their weapons, their eyes burning as they gazed intently toward the Origin Zone, their breathing rapid.

After a hundred thousand years of waiting, this moment has finally arrived.

"Issue the order!" Zhang Jianchen's voice resounded throughout the army, carrying a powerful surge of emotion. "All of you, heed my command! Follow our alliance into the core of the origin and seize the Dao Fruit! Protect the destiny of our righteous path today!"

"Protect my righteous path!!"

"Seize the Dao Fruit!!"

Hundreds of thousands of cultivators shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

Various colored spiritual lights soared into the sky, surging towards the source area like a tide.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the demonic camp also stirred.

Yan Tianjin stood atop the Devil Palace, gazing at the seven-colored pillar of light, his narrow eyes surging with fervor and obsession.

He had been waiting for this day for 100,000 years.

The last time the demonic path suffered a great defeat, a hundred thousand years have passed. The demonic path cannot be defeated again. He wants to seize the Dao Fruit and allow the demonic path to ascend!

"The Dao Fruit is finally mine." Yan Tianjin murmured softly, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

He suddenly raised his hand, and his dark demonic robe fluttered without wind, Heavenly Devil energy that swept in all directions.

"Order the Thirty-Six Devil Sects to launch a full-scale attack!" Yan Tianjin's voice boomed like thunder, echoing in the ears of every Devil Cultivator. "Dao Fruit who first attain the Yan Tianjin's True Disciple! Anyone who dares to retreat a single step will be killed without mercy!"

"Roar!!"

Hundreds of thousands of Devil Cultivator roared simultaneously, their demonic energy surging like a black torrent, rushing towards the core of the origin.

In an instant, the entire bottom of the Chaos Abyss trembled.

Two torrents, one black and one white, surged out from the east and west sides simultaneously, rushing towards the seven-colored ball of light in the center.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the Primordial Dao Fruit floating in mid-air, their eyes filled with greed and fanaticism.

Unbeknownst to anyone, in the shadows on the south side of the Origin Zone, two figures were silently approaching the core, taking advantage of the chaotic fluctuations in Spiritual Qi.

"Faster! Faster!"

The Devil General Blood Baleful Intent charged ahead, slicing through the oncoming righteous Rogue Cultivator with his Blood Baleful Intent Saber. Blood splattered all over his face, but he became even more excited.

Behind him, thousands of Devil Cultivator pounced like hungry wolves, instantly engulfing a small team of righteous vanguard.

The closer one gets to the Dao Fruit, the purer the Spiritual Qi becomes, and the richer the Daoist charm becomes.

Everyone's eyes turned red, and they rushed forward desperately, each wanting to be the first to touch the Dao Fruit.

But just then, a cold voice came from ahead.

"You wicked creature, how dare you covet the Dao Fruit?"

Before he could finish speaking, a bolt of purple lightning descended from the sky.

Boom!

The lightning struck the group of Devil Cultivator, instantly creating a vacuum zone.

Dozens of Devil Cultivator at the forefront were reduced to ashes before they could even utter a scream.

Yunyouzi moved swiftly, blocking the path of the demonic army.

He held the Divine Firmament Divine Sword, surrounded by lightning, like a thunder god descending to earth. Devil Cultivator below the Tribulation Transcendence could not even get within ten feet of him.

"Old Yunyouzi!"

The Devil General Blood Baleful Intent was both shocked and furious, but dared not step forward.

How could he possibly withstand the might of Loose Immortal immortal?

Just then, a black demonic light rushed from behind and crashed into Yunyouzi.

"Your opponent is me."

Yan Tianjin's figure appeared out of thin air, his black dragon-patterned demon robe fluttering in the wind.

He raised his hand and threw a punch. The black fist imprint collided with the purple lightning. In the earth-shattering explosion, the two of them each took three steps back.

"Old Devil Yan!" Yunyouzi's eyes narrowed.

"What? You're allowed to block the way of the righteous, but I'm not allowed to take the fruit?" Yan Tianjin sneered, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings. "Where's Xuanjizi? Why didn't he come out with us? Is he afraid of me?"

"Old Devil Yan, when did you become so humorous and even tell jokes?"

Xuanjizi's voice rang out from the other side. He walked out slowly, his plain Daoist robe fluttering and holding a whisk.

He and Yunyouzi flanked Yan Tianjin, one on each side.

"The Dao Fruit is a public treasure of Heaven and Earth; how can it fall into the hands of your demonic path and poison living beings?" Xuanjizi's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness. "Old Devil Yan, retreat. With the two of us here today, you will not be allowed to approach the Dao Fruit even a step."

"Just the two of you?"

Yan Tianjin laughed loudly, his laughter filled with arrogance. "Ten thousand years ago, even if you joined forces, you could only seal me. Ten thousand years later, do you think you can still stop me?"

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Tianjin made the first move.

He blurred into a streak of black light and charged straight at Xuanjizi.

Demonic energy surged from his fist, coalescing into a gigantic demonic elephant. Its trunk swept across, slightly distorting the very space around it.

"Yunyouzi, let's join forces!"

Xuanjizi waved his whisk, and countless white silk threads wove into a net, blocking his way.

At the same time, Yunyouzi drew his sword, and the purple divine sword transformed into a stunning rainbow, slashing towards Yan Tianjin's back.

One defends, the other attacks; their teamwork is flawless.

"Bang!!"

The demonic elephant crashed into the silk net, which shattered instantly, and Xuanjizi took two steps back.

At the same time, Divine Firmament's sword light struck Yan Tianjin's back, but only managed to cut through a layer of demonic armor, failing to penetrate deeper.

"Interesting." Yan Tianjin turned around, licking his lips, his eyes gleaming with even greater fighting spirit. "Ten thousand years have passed, and you two have finally made some progress."

After saying that, he formed a hand seal, and his demonic energy surged several times over.

"The Devil Emperor's Seventy-Two Transformations - Ten Thousand Devils Pay Homage!"

Countless demonic shadows surged from his body, each possessing the power of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm Transcending Realm cultivator, overwhelming the two Loose Immortal.

In an instant, demonic energy blotted out the sky, turning the entire sky black.

"Qingwei Immortal Light!"

"Divine Firmament Divine Lightning!"

The two Loose Immortal attacked simultaneously, unleashing two beams of light, one white and one purple, that shot into the sky and collided with the phantom of the myriad demons.

Rumble!!!

The clash of top-tier combatants unleashed a terrifying energy shockwave.

The surrounding mountains continued to collapse, and huge ravines were cracked in the earth. Devil Cultivator paths who were close to the battlefield, regardless of their cultivation level, were all blown away by the shockwaves, their fate unknown.

No one dared to approach this area anymore.

In a battle Loose Immortal Realm, the aftershocks alone could instantly kill someone at the Void Refinement Realm.

"His Majesty the Demon Emperor has been stopped!"

"Let's charge! Dao Fruit!"

"Kill!"

"..."

The Devil Cultivator became even more excited when they saw that Yan Tianjin had held off two Loose Immortal.

Without the suppression of the Loose Immortal, their pressure was greatly reduced, and they roared as they continued to charge forward.

"Don't even think about going there!"

At this moment, Zhang Jianchen led the main force of the righteous path to arrive in time.

Zhang Jianchen, wielding a long sword, led the charge, his sword flashing and instantly slaying several demon generals.

Behind them, elders and disciples from the seven major sects swarmed forward, colliding with the Devil Cultivator army.

"Kill!!"

Shouts of battle instantly resounded throughout the entire Origin Zone.

A chaotic battle erupted.
