Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

The sword hummed and its brilliant light soared into the sky.

Above the Taiyin star, amidst the almost frozen primordial energy, wind, thunder, water, and fire suddenly came alive and surged, intertwining and converging into the Qingping Sword, drawing upon the light of the Three Calamities and Destruction, transforming it into a blade that cuts through time.

The Heavenly Demon withered scales felt a sharp, majestic sword technique soaring into the sky, causing his scales to stand on end.

In an instant, the surrounding light shimmered, and ripples spread through space and time. The sword light danced like a butterfly, seemingly light and ethereal, yet it conveyed a sense of overwhelming power and unyielding strength.

Sensing the impending danger, Kulin instinctively raised a demonic horn spear to block Jiang Sheng's sword strike. However, as the sword light swept past, the demonic horn spear silently broke in two, and a thin line of blood appeared on Kulin's scale-covered neck.

The next instant, demonic blood splattered, and the withered scales let out a painful, sharp, and mournful howl.

As the sword light swept across the sky for five million miles, the crater where the withered scales on the Taiyin Star were located was instantly cleaved in the void by Jiang Sheng's sword, leaving a deep sword mark that stretched for five million miles. A void storm surged in instantly.

The sharp and condensed sword marks of annihilation extinguished the rampant icy chill and ferocious demonic energy within the pit. Time and space seemed to crack open like glass, as if time itself had been severed by Jiang Sheng's sword.

As for the Heavenly Demon Dry Scale, its entire head was almost severed off by Jiang Sheng's sword. Its huge head drooped to one side, with only a layer of skin and flesh barely connecting its head and neck, preventing it from falling off on the spot.

At the wound on the neck, one could see the surging life force of the high-ranking demon causing the twisted bones and wriggling flesh to grow continuously in an attempt to heal the wound between the head and neck.

However, whenever bones and granulation tissue grow, the Three Calamities Annihilation Sword Qi above the wound will annihilate them, giving the withered scales no chance to recover.

At the same time, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Intent invaded the withered scale's body, constantly strangling its life force, leaving the withered scale with abundant vitality and powerful demonic energy, but nowhere to unleash them.

In an instant, the withered scales felt as if the earth and sky had turned upside down. Looking up, they saw the delicious Taoist with a pure and tempting aura holding a terrifying magic sword that seemed capable of extinguishing all of their life force, walking step by step towards them.

In an instant, Ku Lin no longer found Jiang Sheng's delicious food tempting. He grabbed his head with both hands and pressed it back against his neck, ignoring the lingering Three Calamities Annihilation Sword Qi and forcibly restored his head and neck. Then he turned and ran away!
"Where did such a terrifying Taoist come from?!"

"Wasn't the Yin-Yang Orthodox School of the Xuanhuang Realm already destroyed by the Lord?"

Kulin couldn't understand where Jiang Sheng came from. He was clearly only at the first tribulation level, yet even Kulin, a powerful fourth-tribulation high-level demon, felt incredibly terrified. Therefore, Kulin had no intention of fighting Jiang Sheng to the death. Instead, it wanted to contact the other high-level demons scattered across the Taiyin Star to jointly kill this terrifying Taoist!

When the time comes, after gathering the power of all the demons and killing this Taoist priest, it can still taste the Taoist priest's delicious and tempting flesh and soul.

Thinking of this, even though he was terrified by Jiang Sheng's terrifying cultivation level, Ku Lin still couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his lips.

Whether it's the Xuanmen or the Buddhist sect, cultivators with clear and pure qi are an unimaginable delicacy to the Heavenly Demons.

However, from the perspective of both the Taoist and Buddhist sects, those whose auras are becoming increasingly clear and pure, and whose cultivation is becoming increasingly powerful, are all basically born from pure Yang holy lands. They possess magical treasures and artifacts that dazzle even the Heavenly Demons, and also have various methods and supernatural abilities. The Heavenly Demons, who are terrifying to ordinary cultivators, are severely suppressed when they encounter these people from holy lands.

Just as Kulin was lost in thought, a sharp sword light swept in. Before Kulin could react, the scales on his back, which were strong enough to withstand the extreme cold of the Taiyin star and block the scorching starlight and all kinds of weapons, were shattered by the sword energy, and a deep wound that revealed the bone appeared on Kulin's back.

The Three Calamities and Annihilation Sword Qi invaded the body once more, shattering the bones and internal organs of the withered scales and extinguishing their vitality.

One sword!
With just one sword strike, the withered scales were severely injured!
Ku Lin was increasingly terrified. Sensing Jiang Sheng rushing forward from behind, Ku Lin suddenly turned his head, his eyes wide open, and saw two mottled demonic lights shooting out, heading straight for Jiang Sheng.

The moment the two beams of demonic light appeared, they began to corrupt everything in their path. The clear and pure Yin Immortal Qi was eroded and became mottled, and the originally transparent and bright cold light was also polluted into clumps of rusty ice crystals and then annihilated.

Jiang Sheng raised an eyebrow: "Annihilation?"

"You Heavenly Demon, you cultivate fire magic, no wonder you can move freely on this Taiyin Star."

There are three thousand great paths, and every one of them leads directly to pure Yang.

All living beings, whether human, demon, monster, or celestial being, once they reach the Upper Three Realms, cultivate the laws and participate in the Great Dao.

Annihilation is one of the many laws under the Great Way of Fire.

The laws are the rules of the Great Way, and also the authority of the Great Way.

Just like the Crimson Fire Method cultivated by Daoist Feiyang, it is constructed from various laws such as incineration, calamity fire, and intense burning to establish the authority of incineration and calamity, thus opening up its own Crimson Fire Method in the Great Dao of Fire.

Jiang Sheng cultivates the path of the final calamity, therefore every sword aura he unleashes carries the meaning of annihilation and destruction.

The sight of a Qilin beast that cultivates fire magic made Jiang Sheng highly suspicious that the Heavenly Demon before him might originally be a variant with the bloodline of a fire Qilin.

While those with the bloodline of the Fire Qilin may not be as powerful as the Fire Qilin, they are still innate divine beasts, sacred and extraordinary. If they fall into a realm, they can be said to bring righteousness and fire virtue to that realm; if they join a sect, they will add fortune and fire magic to that sect.
Even such a strange creature was nothing more than an ant before the Great Heavenly Demon Lord of the Pure Yang Realm, and was corrupted into a Qilin Beast, losing its sacred appearance.

Jiang Sheng sighed softly. Facing the demonic light containing the annihilation technique that shot towards him, he made a fist with his left hand. The five elements of thunder essence—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—were condensed, and in an instant, a bolt of divine thunder from the five elements transformed into a thunderbolt that roared and rushed to collide with the demonic light containing the annihilation technique.

Silently, the annihilation and destruction techniques of the Five Elements Divine Thunder and the annihilation techniques of the Demonic Light clashed and surged continuously. After two breaths, the annihilation and destruction techniques of the Five Elements Divine Thunder overwhelmed the annihilation techniques of the Demonic Light.

But the demonic light disintegrated and scattered, and the Five Elements Divine Thunder roared and surged forth, enveloping the withered scales in the vast might of heaven.

The five elements of thunder surged and splashed, with arcs of lightning and lightning snakes swimming above the Taiyin star, forming a magnificent thunder prison covering millions of miles. The withered scales were trapped in the thunder prison, constantly enduring the majestic and righteous power of the five elements of divine thunder.

With its scales crumbling and its flesh decaying, the withered scales, a fourth-tribulation demon, were already weak and feeble after being covered by the Thunder Pool for only three breaths.

This was not only because it, a celestial demon, had encountered the most magnificent and righteous thunderous might, but also because the Three Calamities Annihilation Sword Qi of Jiang Sheng within its body was rampaging and constantly annihilating its demonic energy.

Beset by internal and external troubles, the withered scales were finding it increasingly difficult to resist. Its tall and ferocious demonic body was almost paralyzed in the pool of lightning, with countless scales flying off its body, its flesh festering and covered in wounds. Dense arcs of lightning danced on the withered scales' body, and the Three Calamities Annihilation Sword Qi within it was also corroding the withered scales' meridians and bones, like a malignant sore that it was constantly eroding the withered scales' vitality.

Five breaths later, the heavenly lightning dissipated, and the original Yin Immortal Qi and icy coldness scattered, leaving only a pool of lightning covered by scorching lightning.

Within the Thunder Pool, the mighty power of thunder remained undiminished, and dark demonic energy could be seen swirling within, constantly being extinguished by the surging lightning.

The dying withered scales were extremely weak, and lying paralyzed in the Thunder Pool, they could only breathe weakly.

Even with its unicorn bloodline and demonic body, it still appeared so weak when facing Jiang Sheng's Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique and Five Elements Divine Thunder.

As a series of unhurried footsteps approached, Kulin barely opened its eyes. Jiang Sheng was already standing before it. The Daoist was handsome and refined, with a cold and noble aura; he possessed the features of an immortal, with the bearing of a dragon and the grace of a phoenix. What struck Kulin most were Jiang Sheng's eyes. Their azure-gold light shimmered brilliantly, like two great stars burning intensely. Kulin felt as if its demonic soul was being constantly scorched by those eyes, as if its body and soul were about to be incinerated at any moment.

"Demon."

"You occupy this Taiyin star, do you intend to erode it and reverse Yin and Yang?"

Faced with Jiang Sheng's question, Ku Lin slowly opened his mouth, about to mock Jiang Sheng, when a sword light, like a cold, sharp bolt of lightning, suddenly fell down.

In an instant, Jiang Sheng severed the head of the withered scales, completely extinguishing its life force.

"Ha, they've got guts."

Jiang Sheng snorted softly, grabbed the massive head of the withered scale, and unleashed his divine sense into the head, searching for the memories of this celestial demon.

Gradually, the life of Kulin came into view before Jiang Sheng.

The withered scales were not the kind of inferior celestial demons that had been corrupted by demonic energy and lost their reason, leaving only their instincts and madness. It was a powerful unicorn beast, a supreme divine beast of a minor world.

After Mo Xuan died and transformed into a demon, the original Qilin Young Master Mo Xuan, now the Great Heavenly Demon Master Mo Xuan, eroded that small world, turning the withered scales into a Heavenly Demon.

From then on, Kulin gained even greater power and an immortal body, and because of the bloodline of the Lin beast, Kulin became Moxuan's loyal follower.

For Kulin, completing the task assigned by his lord was more important than anything else. As long as he could complete the task assigned by his lord, there was nothing he could not give up. After he transformed into a celestial demon, he obeyed Moxuan's orders and destroyed countless worlds, turning countless lives into ashes.

However, as the commotion caused by the Heavenly Demon Mo Xuan grew, the Qilin clan could no longer ignore it and continue to tolerate such a stain on Mo Xuan's reputation. Thus, the pure Yang faction of the Qilin clan besieged Mo Xuan, and Mo Xuan led his family and followers to hide in the depths of chaos.

This time, the Heavenly Demon Mo Xuan returned from the depths of chaos, and the same withered scales and other followers of Mo Xuan also invaded the heavens once again.

Immediately, they surged into the Xuanhuang Realm, turning this vast Xuanmen world upside down. They polluted countless primordial spirits and earth veins, corrupted countless living beings, and twisted countless spirits. It was truly exhilarating!
Until Tianmo Moxuan rushed into the vortex of calamity energy, until Jiang Sheng arrived with the true disciple of Dongtian.

The final task Mo Xuan left for the Ku Lin and their retinue was to let them continuously erode the Taiyin Star, completely overturning the already fragile balance of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Without the Taiyin star, the Xuanhuang Realm, with only the Taiyang star remaining, would lose its five elements, and Yin and Yang would be reversed. The world would become scorching hot and eventually turn into a deadly wasteland.

This is not good for the sun and stars either. As the sun and stars continuously release their power day and night, they will gradually squander their original power.

When that time comes, the demons will use their demonic energy to erode the sun and stars, and then turn the entire Xuanhuang Realm into a demonic domain!
The reason why Mo Xuan dared to rush into the vortex of calamity energy to fight against Kaiyuan Daojun was that he planned to have his relatives and clans erode the Yin and Yang of the Xuanhuang Realm and turn the Xuanhuang Realm into his own demonic domain!
At that time, with the Great Thousand Demon Realm at his back, Mo Xuan was confident that he would have no fear of the Kaiyuan Daojun!
However, Mo Xuan's plan went wrong from the very beginning. Although he was the Great Heavenly Demon Lord, he was no match for Kaiyuan Daojun.

In this Xuanhuang Realm, there are not only Heavenly Demons, but also immortals from the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School.

Looking at the head in his hand, which was gradually decaying due to the shattering of the Heavenly Demon's true spirit, Jiang Sheng casually threw it away: "Although I also cultivate thunder magic, my Five Elements True Thunder should not be able to blast a fourth-tribulation Heavenly Demon into such a sorry state."

"It's not so much that my Five Elements True Thunder is displaying its power, but rather that the will of heaven and earth in the Xuanhuang Realm is using my hand to eliminate these heavenly demons."

"The Heavenly Demon truly lives up to its reputation as the disease of all heavens and the germ of all worlds. Even a great world cannot withstand the Heavenly Demon's wreak havoc."

With a soft sigh, Jiang Sheng flexed his wrist and casually twirled his sword.

As the Qingping Sword extinguished the last trace of turbid and demonic energy emanating from the surroundings, Jiang Sheng slowly said, "Since you've come all this way, why hide in the shadows and not show yourself?"

"What, you demons also know to fear my Xuanmen Daoist school?"

As Jiang Sheng's words resonated like thunder, ripples spread across the vast expanse of heaven and earth, and figures appeared around him.

It was a monster covered in armor, with millions of pairs of legs on its lower body and four arms on its upper body, but no head. A muscular tentacle protruded from its mouth full of sharp teeth, and countless eyes grew on the fleshy tentacle.

It was a ghostly demon with an ethereal, misty, and illusory form, seemingly real yet unreal. Its tentacles, like snake tails, writhed and scattered, and a vertical eye blinked, turning the surrounding space into a void demonic realm.

It was a great demon covered in thorns, tall and strong, as imposing as a mountain, with a powerful and violent aura. Its arms were like pillars of heaven, and its four legs were like mountains. Its powerful demonic energy eroded the celestial mist above the Taiyin Star, transforming it into sharp and precipitous mountains.
Three-fold Heavenly Demon, Four-fold Heavenly Demon.
Five Tribulations Heavenly Demon!

Jiang Sheng looked around at the Heavenly Demons who had gathered around him; they were all high-level Heavenly Demons at the Integration Realm!

In an instant, demonic energy obscured the moon, and foul air and filth formed a filthy demonic realm covering millions of miles, constantly eroding and affecting the creatures within, making the celestial demons within even stronger, and driving sentient beings more and more mad.

Suddenly, the sword hummed and hummed.

In this demonic realm where filth and defilement run rampant, and within the shroud of billowing demonic energy, a blue wind rises, purple lightning falls, crimson fire burns, and mysterious water is born.

The celestial energy, originally tainted by the demonic aura, transformed into the pure and refined Four Symbols energy, with wind, thunder, water, and fire never having been so active in the icy realm of the Taiyin Star.

As wind, thunder, water, and fire surged, the swords Zhuxian, Luxian, Xianxian, and Juexian emerged from Jiang Sheng's sleeves, swirling around him and emitting exhilarating sword cries.

Surrounded by slaughter and annihilation, Jiang Sheng scanned his surroundings, observing the expressions of fear and ferocity on the faces of the demons. A smile involuntarily appeared on his usually indifferent and calm face: "It wasn't a waste of all the commotion I made."

"Since you're here, don't leave. Otherwise, I'll waste my time searching for your whereabouts across the entire Taiyin Star."

Seeing Jiang Sheng's arrogance, the group of demons could no longer restrain themselves and roared as they unleashed all sorts of demonic techniques to attack him.

Amidst the ambush, Jiang Sheng's Qingping Sword rippled with mottled sword light: "Intercepting Heaven."

"The workings of creation!"

In an instant, the sword light, which seemed to recreate creation and split the heavens and earth, spread across the demonic realm, illuminating the entire world.

Within the Xuanhuang Realm, the beings of the Five Domains looked up and saw a striking sword light soaring into the sky above the once dim moon. (End of Chapter)
