The mortal's candle dragon opens the sky

At the same time that the majestic emperor of the Central Immortal Realm sensed the Nightmare Shuzi, the Nightmare Shuzi, under the protection of Xuyang and Tiankui, also trembled violently, his whole body covered in hair, as if he were shrouded in the shadow of a gluttonous beast. A strong sense of danger rose from the bottom of his heart, and he vaguely felt that illusions were emerging, as if he was surrounded and having his primordial spirit torn apart by countless bloody mouths!

His tightly closed eyelids began to tremble rapidly. A surge of intense fear made him want to retract his inner demonic power back into the Accumulated Scale Void Realm. However, Nightmare Shu was, after all, an ancient true dragon, with a resolute will. He immediately followed the pre-arranged plan and whispered:
"Dao Lord! There truly is an unparalleled demon! What a terrifying extraterrestrial demon! It's a Heavenly Law! Not a Mind Law!"

"As expected, they've come! Hmph! All the stars are in their folds!" Xu Yang, standing before him, frowned slightly, but his hands moved swiftly, immediately pointing at Yan Shuzi!

The hazy purple light that enveloped him immediately split into countless strands of warm, purple jade-like light, completely surrounding Yan Shuzi.

Although Xu Yang can no longer use the Ziwei Yuanyu Zhidang Starlight, he still has as much innate Ziwei Qi as he wants!
In Zi Wei Dou Shu (Purple Star Astrology), Zi Wei is regarded as the number one star for resolving misfortune. Offensively, it can use the illusions of other stars to create a mesmerizing power, while defensively, it possesses the supreme mystery of dispelling calamities!
The next moment, Yan Shuzi felt a sense of relief throughout his body, and all the countless bloody maw illusions that had arisen in his mind immediately disappeared. With his mind at ease, he immediately continued to disperse the power of his inner demons according to the established plan!

When cultivators undergo the Mahayana Tribulation and Ascension Tribulation, as long as the fragrance of their divine soul reaches the 'Heaven of Free Transformation', it will immediately attract nearby celestial demons to cross the interface and swarm over. If a high-level celestial demon does not mind the 'small flesh' and becomes interested, it can also split its demonic thoughts and descend instantly with a thought. Therefore, the distance of the boundless realm is meaningless to the power of the inner demon!
A breath later, the demonic thoughts of Yan Shuzi had already descended to the bottom of Black Rock Island, and were immediately detected by Xuanwu Dao Master, who was refining the Creation Dao Pill inside.

"You're courting death! What kind of demon brat dares to spy on me!" A furious shout echoed throughout the Bagua space, startling the Golden Dragon, Heavenly Phoenix, and other true spirits who were in deep meditation.

"Huh? Could it be?"

The old man with green eyebrows initially glared angrily, but soon sensed that the aura of the inner demon was somewhat familiar. With a thought, he let it in, and a phantom black dragon with bared fangs and claws immediately appeared above the Bagua space.

The Xuanwu Dao Master's expression immediately turned to surprise: "Nightmare Shuzi!? You're still alive!"

"Haha! Jiuyuan! It's been a long time! We can catch up later! Daoist Jiuyan urgently needs support! We..." Yan Shuzi was also very happy to see his old friend. At this moment, he suppressed his excitement and immediately told him about the general situation in the Jilin Void Realm.

"Haha! So that's how it is! This day has finally come!"

The Xuanwu Dao Master laughed heartily, and with a wave of his hand, he made a hand seal, drawing the Heavenly Bottle and countless floating Creation Crystals into his sleeve. Meanwhile, the thunder, wind, water, and fire energies of the entire Bagua space began to converge wildly around him. A moment later, all the true spirits in this place, along with the entire space, transformed into the Yin-Yang Qiankun Mirror, a second-grade Xuantian treasure, which he held in his hand. For the first time, the true form of the Xuanwu Dao Master was completely exposed to the True Immortal Realm.

The next moment, the Qiankun Passage opened, and the Xuanwu Dao Master stepped into it, rushing towards the Demon Realm at lightning speed.

Even a breath earlier, Xu Yang had already grabbed the twelve-armed Heavenly Puppet and Nightmare Pivot Child respectively, stepped into the Reincarnation Space Passage, and dived into the deep space of the Accumulated Scale Void Realm, heading towards the misty desert where they had entered.

At this moment, Xu Yang, who had already synchronized the two laws of reincarnation and space to the threshold of the 'Law Fusion Heavenly Dao', was more than ten times faster than when Mei Yao first entered.

From an omniscient perspective, Xuanwu Daozhu and Xuyang were both approaching their destination at almost the same speed, with the passage from the Misty Desert to the Demon Realm as their final destination!
With each breath, the distance can be reduced by one-tenth.

Meanwhile, Shi Kongyu, the Lord of Samsara Palace, and the Nine Nether Emperor, who were unwilling to leave just like that, had all closed their eyes and were adjusting their breathing. But the next moment, they all suddenly looked up at the sky.

Above the gray clouds of the Demon Realm, the already scarce daylight suddenly dimmed, replaced by a twisted black crack that had appeared out of nowhere!
Stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles, a pale and dark, towering figure vaguely appeared behind the black rift. Its face was blurred, and its specific features were unclear, but the terrifying pressure that resembled the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao was not fake.

To be able to evade the danger perception of these three powerful figures, and to appear here silently, the newcomer must undoubtedly be at least a Dao Ancestor.

"Palace Master! This looks like Yinming? What brings him here?"

"Just wait and see what happens!"

The Lord of the Samsara Palace and the purple-robed Taoist exchanged a glance and secretly transmitted a message through their divine senses.

The alliance between the Samsara Palace and the Demon Realm was a secret and could not be publicized. They were not the masters of the Demon Realm and could not question the visitor in such a legitimate way. However, under the pressure of the Dao Ancestor, they were enemies rather than friends. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into dark red and dark light orbs respectively.

Regardless, let's summon the spiritual domain of the Celestial Realm first, and then we'll be invincible.

"Huh? Who are you?"

The stone dragon in front of him did not resemble a demonic emperor who controlled a region and hundreds of races. With his thin eyebrows and square face, he looked more like a refined scholar. After recognizing him for a moment, his thin eyebrows furrowed. He did not recognize this Dao Ancestor who was deeply hidden in the Heavenly Court and had a very low presence. Without saying a word, he made a hand seal and transformed into a silver giant with twelve arms.

Pure primordial demonic energy permeated the air, instantly covering the silver giant with a layer of armor covered in deep purple demonic patterns. The surging demonic energy resembled a giant cloak fluttering in the wind, and only then did he fully display the majesty of a domain lord.

"Hmph! Don't panic! Master of the Demon Realm and fellow Daoists of the two Palace Masters! I am a man of propriety. I am here only to make a deal. Ten Grade Seven Profound True Dao Pills in exchange for one entry into the Accumulated Scale Void Realm. After obtaining the true blood and primordial spirit of an ancient true dragon inside, I will leave immediately!" The pale and dark, towering figure let out a strange, cackling laugh. Fearing that Shi Kongyu and the other two might not believe him, he added, "Rest assured! My trip is for my own cultivation and has nothing to do with the Heavenly Court. After I leave, you can continue to do what you want. Apart from the delicious and tempting primordial spirit and true blood, I am not interested in anything else and have no intention of starting a war with you."

The Accumulated Scale Void Realm has its own rules. Even for him, breaking through it would take some effort, at least not in an instant, but at least one or two breaths.

This is different from Yan Shuzi, who hasn't advanced to the Great Luo realm. When Yan Shuzi uses his inner demon power to enter and exit the Accumulated Scale Void Realm, he doesn't encounter resistance from the rules! This is because Yan Shuzi hasn't advanced to the Great Luo realm! And the Accumulated Scale Void Realm resists intrusion from beings above the Great Luo level! This is something that even inner demon power at the Great Luo Dao Ancestor level cannot avoid.

Moreover, the commotion caused by the breaching of the barrier would certainly not escape the notice of Shi Kongyu and his two companions stationed there, so the pale figure didn't mind paying a small price to gain entry. For him, ten Xuanzhen Pills were far less valuable than a high-level Nightmare Dragon, a species nearly extinct in the Immortal Realm!
The Xuanzhen Pill can be regenerated, but the Nightmare Dragon is probably the last one. Things are valued because they are rare!
"Ancient True Dragon?"

Shi Kongyu and the other two looked at each other, somewhat tempted. Due to the information gap, they subconsciously thought that the other party was also after the Nine-Flame Dragon. Now that they were helpless against the self-governed Accumulated Scale Void Realm, letting the other party in might be a good solution.

Although their alliance has been maneuvering among various parties and laying out plans for the world in the True Immortal Realm, their conflict with the Heavenly Court has reached an irreconcilable point. However, the Nine-Flame Dragon and Rahu within them possess the laws of space and reincarnation, making them enemies who also hinder the Great Dao. Moreover, they have seized the ownership of the Accumulated Scale Void Realm, depriving the alliance between the Demon Realm and the Reincarnation Palace of a stable output of Xuan Refining resources. This is tantamount to digging up their foundation, making them thieves of the Dao!
The threat was so great and imminent that it was a higher priority for them than for the Heavenly Court. How could they fight off external threats if they couldn't even manage their own internal affairs?

The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend!

If we let this Dao Ancestor go in and use his superior cultivation level to crush and obliterate the Nine-Flame Dragon, wouldn't the remaining Rahu be much easier to deal with?
"The power of demonic contamination can ignore the existence of space, I think it's feasible!"

"Nine Flame Dragon possesses a Five Elements Mystic Treasure of extremely high grade, which will be of great use to us in our future struggle against the Heavenly Court! What if this fiend becomes tempted after obtaining Nine Flame Dragon's primordial spirit and true blood?"

"The power of demonic contamination can only take away the primordial spirit and essence, but it cannot take away the Xuan Tian treasure. As for the fear that the other party might be tempted, we can simply swear an oath by the erosion of the Heavenly Dao and make a pact with him. Besides, he should also be afraid that this matter will reach the ears of that ancient one. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

"Fine! He was the one who plotted against the Accumulated Scale Void Realm first, so no wonder we brought in the Heavenly Court's Dao Ancestor for help!"

"Let him in!"

How swift was the communication of the Great Luo Emperor's thoughts? In the blink of an eye, Shi Kongyu and the other two had already discussed it and were ready to agree!

But at this moment, a hazy, mirror-like light tore through the void at the end of the sky, bursting out from a dark, leaden cloud without warning, immediately drawing the attention of the four powerful figures present.

As soon as the hazy mirror light appeared, it distorted into black and white, and then split into two again, transforming into heaven, earth, water, fire, thunder, wind, mountain, and marsh, which stood in the eight directions respectively!
Yin and Yang differentiate, the pure rises and the turbid descends! The Eight Trigrams and the universe are reversed! A complete universe is instantly formed!

With incredible speed, it enveloped the vast territory, including Shi Kongyu and the other two, while conveniently keeping the pale, dark figure hidden in the pitch-black crack out!
This is not the Demon-Suppressing Lock that Xu Yang obtained from the True Demon Realm, but a second-grade Xuan Tian treasure ranked at least in the top twenty of the Immortal Realm! Moreover, the one controlling it is a Xuanwu True Spirit whose age can be described as the oldest in the Immortal Realm!

Shi Kongyu and the other two suddenly felt that the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) had completely disappeared. Apart from their natal immortal artifacts and physical bodies, they could not sense the existence of the Heavenly Dao power for the time being!
"It's the Yin-Yang Mirror of the Nine Abyss!" The Lord of the Samsara Palace and the purple-robed Taoist both changed color.

“We’re guarding this place! Our thoughts are also spreading out in all directions. It’s one thing that the Hidden Brightness Dao Ancestor could keep it from us, but how did the Black Tortoise Dao Lord know about the situation here and arrive so quickly?”

"This is outrageous! Break!" The silver giant that Shi Kongyu had transformed into revealed his anger, thinking to himself, "Do you really think the Demon Realm is a no-man's-land, coming and going as you please? Do you even take me, the Lord of the Demon Realm, seriously?"

Even if he cannot connect with the power of the Heavenly Dao for the time being, Shi Kongyu is still the number one person on the path of the Great Dao of Space in this world. He also possesses the Heavenly Fiend Prison-Suppressing Demon Body, which has been cultivated for hundreds of millions of years. He has opened up more than a thousand profound apertures. Even without the support of the power of the Heavenly Dao, he is still one of the top experts in this world with his own law origin and physical body!

The next moment, all twelve arms swung at once, and each of the twelve fists shone with silver light, like twelve silver suns, striking the barrier between heaven and earth in all directions!
The water, fire, thunder, and wind energies formed by the Bagua space immediately began to disintegrate and dissipate, creating ripples and shaking continuously. However, the space established by the second-grade Xuan Tian treasure could still block Shi Kongyu for a few moments!
Taking advantage of this moment, outside the sky, a gigantic green pipe that blots out the sun tore through space, traversing billions of miles of void. Wherever it passed, the void collapsed with a roar, tearing open a terrifying black abyss with no end in sight, just like tattered cloth. It was truly domineering and unparalleled!
The direction of the landing point was precisely that of the pale, shadowy figure hiding in the black crack!
At the same time, the Xuanwu Dao Master's cold laughter echoed through the void: "You cowardly coward! You still dare to covet the True Spirit Bloodline? Die first!"

The pale, shadowy figure remained completely calm. In fact, he had long sensed the approach of the Xuanwu Dao Lord. The power of demonic contamination could observe all living beings in the 'Hehua Zizai Tian', which was invisible to ordinary people. He did not usually attack countless living beings in order to hide, but if he wanted to, there was nothing in the world that could be hidden from him!
With just a thought, the pale, dark figure became even more illusory, transforming from real to unreal into a projection, allowing the green pipe that could shatter everything to pass through its body, and incidentally shattering everything around it!

However, despite such power, the illusory figure merely twitched slightly, seemingly unharmed, and continued its eerie cacophony.

"Heh heh! Jiuyuan, instead of hiding in Zhou Yuan Immortal Realm waiting to die, you actually dared to show yourself! You should know that person's 'Nine Dragons Locking God Jade' is not yet perfect! I think He doesn't mind mixing a Xuanwu, who is also a top-level true spirit, into the Nine Dragons Jade! The combination of dragon and turtle is even more complementary! I think you should retreat and hide! Otherwise, those two madmen, Chi Rong and Xuan Yuan, will probably hunt you down for tens of millions of years again after they find out about your birth!"

In the process of eliminating the dragon race in ancient or modern times, the nine true dragons with the highest bloodline essence were refined into a first-grade immortal artifact. This is the pain in the hearts of the Xuanwu Dao Lord and all the remnants of the true dragon race. To mention this matter to his face is tantamount to a great humiliation, which makes the Xuanwu Dao Lord instantly furious!
An endless curtain of water rose from the source of the green pipe, transforming into countless streams of weak water essence that rushed towards the illusory figure, converging into a swamp that gathered from all directions towards the illusory figure!
The scale of the operation was ten times greater than the previous one!
The Eight Sufferings of Weak Water correspond to drowning the soul, corroding the bones, freezing consciousness, annihilating the spirit, severing the cause, ending the effect, being imprisoned for time, and being locked in emptiness!
The Xuanwu Dao Lord is not helpless against the illusory incarnation of the Heavenly Demon!
The illusory figure was immediately alarmed, his previous ease vanishing. With a wave of his hand, he released countless plumes of black smoke that surged back towards Ruoshui Tianze, and roared in exasperation, "Do you really want to die?"

The Xuanwu Dao Master did not answer, but instead launched a fierce attack!
Meanwhile, the Bagua Qiankun Space on the side was already teetering on the brink of collapse, and the towering twelve-armed giant inside was about to burst out under its frantic pounding!
Just then, another unexpected event occurred!
On the banks of the Weak Water, not far behind the illusory figure, a huge dark red vortex suddenly appeared!
A fist, shimmering with a hazy purple light and radiating pure, powerful energy, burst forth from within, slamming fiercely and domineeringly towards the illusory figure with resolute force!

Wherever it passed, neither the Weak Water that drowned souls and corroded bones, nor the black smoke that existed between the intangible and the tangible, could stop it in the slightest! (End of Chapter)
