Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 479 The Secret Within the Chaotic Ring of Law Breaks Through, A Thousand-Year Grand Plan Vanishes into Nothingness (Seeking Rewards and Subscriptions!)

Above the golden summit in the clouds, blood-red light and demonic energy surged, and sword energy shot out like shooting stars.

The collision and annihilation of countless rays of light illuminated the entire sky with a bizarre and fantastical glow.

At the heart of this battle between good and evil, the flame of the Soul Lamp, controlled by Huai Zhenzi's divided spirit, gradually flickered. Although it still exuded an overwhelming and unstoppable divine pressure, its brilliance was no longer as dazzling as it had been at the beginning.

On the contrary, the Five Fiends Primordial Qi rising above the head of the Evil Ancestor became increasingly dense and heavy, as black as ink, yet it was also filled with layers of demonic shadows formed by five kinds of evil light: Green Plague, Red Poison, White Wrath, Gray Defeat, and Golden Fiend. Its power almost devoured the heavens and the earth.

Clearly, while the immortal's descent into the mortal realm was powerful, this demonic giant was gradually gaining the upper hand in the ongoing battle of attrition.

In short, Huai Zhenzi may have the upper hand, but as long as he cannot kill Hunxie Zushi in a short time, Hunxie Zushi will ultimately win this battle.

"Master!" The Yunxiao Mountain Sect Master Wan Ziyi and his wife let out a grief-stricken roar. The sword energy they unleashed with their combined swords became even more violent, attempting to tear through the barrier of the mixed evil energy to aid their ancestor.

However, both of them were severely weakened, and the Five Fiends Primordial Qi was exceptionally resilient, like a maggot clinging to a bone, layer upon layer, eroding their astonishing sword power.

On the other side of the battlefield, the remaining Nascent Soul cultivators of the righteous sects, seeing this, suddenly intensified their attacks on the demonic cultivators present to a frenzied level.

The disadvantage that Patriarch Huaizhenzi was in in the overall situation was clear to Lu Cheng, Wan Miao and other high-level demonic cultivators, as well as to these righteous primordial spirit cultivators.

Therefore, they launched an even fiercer attack, hoping to wipe out all the demonic followers before Patriarch Huaizhenzi was defeated. Then, they would all rush in and perhaps reverse the outcome of the battle.

They knew in their hearts that once the last reliance of Ancestor Huaizhenzi was dissipated, and Ancestor Hunxie successfully devoured the immortal soul and mastered the demonic arts, the Golden Summit of Yunxiao Mountain would surely be a sea of ​​blood, and no one would survive.

Before the patriarch's spirit dissipates, his wings must be clipped!
"Kill!" Several sword energies, magical treasures, and supernatural powers containing destructive power tore through the void and violently swept towards Daoist Lu Cheng and the sword formation protecting him.

Lu Cheng sat upright in the center of the sword formation, his body surrounded by the five elements of immortal energy flowing endlessly. The fierce metal energy transformed into thousands of small metal swords that danced and swirled, colliding with the incoming flying swords and magical treasures, clanging loudly and scattering sparks; the azure energy stretched out, giving rise to the phantom of an ancient azure tree, its roots twisting and turning like dragons, binding and absorbing the various Yin and evil spells; the blue energy was ethereal, with the true essence of the Xuanming True Water surging like a long river, freezing and freezing the demonic fire and poisonous smoke; the crimson energy was blazing, with the fiery divine bird spreading its wings and crying out, burning away the filth and demonic aura that attacked; the yellow energy was thick and powerful, with the phantom of the Wutu Divine Mountain standing tall and imposing, remaining as solid as a mountain despite the bombardment of the mountain-shaking force.

The five elements circulated and interacted, forming a near-perfect halo. Even with the combined fierce attacks of two orthodox primordial spirit cultivators, they could not make an inch of progress for a time.

However, since it was a battle between three Nascent Soul cultivators, the impact was far-reaching.

Lu Cheng sat calmly at the center of the formation. The next moment, the five-colored light intensified, enveloping the two righteous cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage who were attacking, and carrying them to higher ground.

He had previously taken the Myriad Calamities Pill to forcefully break through to the next realm, and the effects of the medicine were still unfolding. A tsunami-like surge of magical power was rushing and roaring through his meridians. Combined with his physical body, which had been tempered to be harder than divine iron and contained endless dragon and elephant power, although he did not deliberately flaunt it, a profound and imposing pressure naturally spread out.

The five-colored celestial clouds surrounding him were as heavy as mountains and as agile as clouds.

"Fellow Daoists, don't waste your energy." Lu Cheng's voice was not loud but clear and penetrating, resounding in the hearts of the two righteous cultivators.

"Before the soul lamp of Patriarch Huaizhenzi goes out, the outcome of this battle is not up to you."

The two righteous cultivators besieging Lu City were a primordial spirit immortals. One of them was wearing a water and fire Daoist robe and riding a crimson immortal sword. The sword transformed into nine fiery dragons that burned the sky and boiled the sea. This was none other than the "Fire Dragon Daoist" Bai Ling, the female immortal.
Cultivating Tao is difficult for ordinary people, and it is especially difficult for women. This female immortal Bai Ling is able to achieve what she has today because her parents are both people of the primordial spirit realm, who have supported her all the way. Of course, the woman herself also has excellent innate talent.

Upon reaching Lu Cheng's level of cultivation, he gradually discovered that the cultivation of Taoism in this world seems to be divided into two worlds:

One is the major sects closely connected with dynasties and the mortal world, mainly consisting of cultivators at the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, and Core Formation stages, with Nascent Soul True Monarchs already being called sects and ancestors.

One is the individual lineage of the Primordial Spirit Earth Immortals. They often do not form large sects, with at most a few dozen people and at least a few. They almost never interact with cultivators of lower realms, focusing solely on cultivation and ascension. They can even contact the ancestors of the upper realms and receive immortals bestowing upon them methods and treasures.

Furthermore, although the number of people who left behind the lineage is not large, they often possess magical power at the level of Nascent Soul or even Earth Immortal, so they can still accumulate millions of merits and provide abundant fortune for the ancestors of the upper realm.

The former can be categorized as mortals cultivating immortality, while the latter can be categorized as the lineage of earthly immortals.

The other was a vigorous old Taoist priest. As he invoked the magic spell, countless lush green vines grew wildly from the void, like ten-thousand-foot-long dragons twisting and entwining, releasing bone-corroding poisonous miasma. He was none other than the "Green Wood Ancestor" Pine Crane Divine Lord.

Both of them were pillars of the orthodox sects. Seeing that Patriarch Huaizhenzi was at a disadvantage, they were extremely anxious. They could only hope that Lu Cheng, the second strongest demonic cultivator, could help them out of the predicament.

"Lu Cheng, you demon! Stop spreading your heretical words!" Bai Ling, the female Taoist priest, had her eyebrows raised and her long hair standing on end. Her face was glowing red, indicating that she had pushed her magic power to its limit.

"Let's see how long you can hold out today! Nine Dragons Burning Heaven - Decree!" The nine fiery dragons instantly merged into one, transforming into a colossal, scaled, and clawed crimson dragon. It raised its head and roared angrily, its power causing space to distort and scorch. It then crashed into the seemingly weak azure and blue immortal energy node.

The Pine and Crane God also roared, "All trees imprison the heavens!"

The green light of the poisonous vines surged, layer upon layer, instantly enveloping the five-colored flowing light barrier completely. It not only launched a fierce attack, strangling and destroying the barrier, but also released a pale green, corrosive mist that seeped into every crevice, attempting to erode the very foundation of immortal energy. The two, one yang and one poisonous, cooperated seamlessly, clearly intending to finish the job in one fell swoop.

Faced with this seemingly unavoidable combined attack, Lu Cheng finally moved. He slowly raised his right hand.

This lift was as if a giant were lifting a mountain.

He spread his five fingers, his palm facing the roaring crimson dragon with the power to incinerate immortal mountains, and met it head-on without dodging or avoiding it!

There was no earth-shattering magical power on his palm, only a layer of skin as warm and smooth as jade, flowing with subtle luster and faintly glowing with golden light—that was his true body, forged through countless trials.

"Boom!!!"

A deep, resounding thud, like a heavy hammer striking a heavenly drum, silenced the entire Golden Summit battlefield!
The raging Crimson Flame Divine Dragon was actually frozen in mid-air by Lu Cheng's seemingly ordinary palm strike.

The dragon's head was ferocious, and the flames roared. The divine flames that could burn everything licked at Lu Cheng's palms and arms, but they couldn't even ignite his sleeves. Instead, they were like mud oxen entering the sea. The raging flames were forcibly compressed and swallowed by an extremely strong suction force.

This is the perfect combination of the "Fifteen Transformations of the Mysterious Heaven" body cultivation technique and the Heaven-Seizing and Spirit-Devouring Great Art, an unparalleled and wonderful method of turning external forces into one's own!
"The first transformation of my Mysterious Heaven Divine Art merges with the Primordial Flame Dragon. What are you trying to do, playing with fire dragons in front of me?"

Bai Ling was horrified at the sight. He felt his mental connection with the immortal sword being forcibly severed by an extremely domineering magical force. His primordial spirit trembled violently, and he almost spat out blood.

At the same time, Lu Cheng pointed his left hand with his fingers together like a sword, seemingly just casually pointing in the direction of the Pine Crane God.

"Dispel delusion."

These two seemingly casual words contain an unparalleled sword intent that cuts through all illusions and obsessions!
The "Ten Thousand Trees Imprisoning Heaven" technique, which was entangled, imprisoned, and filled with poisonous miasma, was instantly disintegrated and melted away by this point, just like snow encountering its nemesis, the scorching sun.

"Impossible!" Songhe Shenjun exclaimed in shock. His proud divine power was so easily broken by a single sword finger, and his Dao heart almost collapsed.

'Why is my mind so disturbed? My sword intent is forming!'

As the Pine Crane Divine Lord steadied his Dao heart and calmed his mind, he discovered that an almost invisible flying sword had already struck his forehead.

The Five Elements Flying Swords, used to kill by escaping from the heavens.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Cheng deciphered the Dao techniques of two cultivators of the same realm. A divine light flashed in his eyes, and his figure, which had been standing still, moved for the first time!
There were no dazzling lights or spectacular sounds, only speed! So fast that it surpassed the limits of divine sense!

One moment he was sitting as still as a mountain, the next moment his right hand, which still gleamed with the warm luster of jade and had just withstood the Nine Heavens Dragon Fire God Flame, had already crossed the spatial barrier and appeared like a ghost a foot in front of Bai Ling.

Bai Ling was terrified. His water and fire Taoist robe instantly ignited with a blinding light, transforming into a water and fire tai chi symbol to defend himself. At the same time, he used a stealth technique to retreat swiftly.

However, Lu Cheng's finger, though seemingly light and casual, contained the terrifying explosive power of his dual cultivation of body and magic, and was condensed with the sharpest and most destructive Gengjin Sword Finger in the Xuan Tian Transformation!

The third reform involves transforming the human sword demon into a Geng metal sword pointing towards the enemy.

"laugh!"

With a soft sound, the water and fire yin-yang symbol was pierced through as easily as thin paper!
The protective aura of the Daoist robe, which was strong enough to withstand the piercing attacks of a top-grade flying sword, shattered like a bubble. The finger strikes Bai Ling's acupoint with perfect precision, and a powerful, cold, and absolutely crushing force surges into the body instantly.

As if struck by lightning, Bai Ling Daoist's body instantly stiffened, and his primordial spirit was fiercely suppressed by an overwhelming force, forcibly sealed within his Purple Mansion, making it impossible for him to mobilize any magical power.

A surge of extremely sharp sword energy rushed in simultaneously, not to destroy, but to firmly imprison her meridians and acupoints with absolute control! The light shining around her suddenly went out, and she fell softly downwards like a puppet with its strings cut.

Just as Bai Ling was subdued, Lu Cheng's left hand reached out, his five fingers spread wide, and he shook hands with Song He Shenjun, who was pale-faced and retreating in panic!
The universe is created in the palm of one's hand, and the five elements revolve in their cycle!
The Pine Crane Divine Lord felt the space within a radius of about ten feet around him freeze instantly, as if an invisible force of thousands of mountains and peaks was pressing down from all directions.

That was not a simple spatial confinement, but a force field that was forcibly controlled and manifested by Lu Cheng with his supreme Dharma Body cultivation! The sharpness of metal, the entanglement of wood, the stagnation of water, the scorching of fire, and the solidity of earth—five completely different forces—were perfectly integrated, transforming into an indestructible Five Elements cage.

His body was surrounded by a frenzied, emerald light, as he tried to break free of the restraints with his pure Wood Immortal Qi. However, the five-colored cage was as solid as a rock, its toughness and vastness far exceeding his imagination.

He could even clearly feel that as long as Lu Cheng exerted a little force, the Five Elements Cage would immediately collapse inward, crushing him and his primordial spirit into dust!
Innate supernatural power, the five elements of immortal energy.

However, that power, which was capable of shattering everything, suddenly transformed from fierce and unparalleled into a gentle and continuous force just before it touched his protective magic.

"Fellow Daoist Songhe, please rest for now." Lu Cheng's calm voice rang out again. The power of the Five Elements Cage subtly changed, from crushing and imprisoning to gently enveloping. It did not harm Songhe Divine Lord in the slightest, but it completely severed his connection with the external world's spiritual energy, annihilating all his resistance.

The Pine Crane God, along with his protective magic, was gently supported by that invisible giant hand, and like the White Ling Fairy just now, he fell down as well.

The entire process was smooth and seamless, without the slightest hint of smoke or fire.

In a very short time, Lu Cheng easily subdued the two renowned Nascent Soul cultivators of the righteous sects, rendering them powerless. Meanwhile, during Lu Cheng's battle with the two righteous sect Nascent Soul cultivators, Miao Chuyun, Youming, Shisheng, and Yun Huang'er, who had worked together for many years and were of one mind, each activated a seventh-tier talisman. A powerful killing aura surged into the sky, directly deterring the righteous sect cultivators who, after Bai Ling and Song He, were about to attack.

The righteous sects attacked fiercely, while the demonic sects also used every means at their disposal.

Lady Wanmiao wielded colorful ribbons, bewitching the souls and consuming the bones with her fragrance; the Blood Skull Demon Lord rode a surging river of blood, within which wronged souls floated and sank, impacting the righteous sects' sword net; Fairy Yincha laughed continuously, her body radiating pink miasma, causing those touched to have lustful thoughts and their magical powers to become stagnant.

The Hundred Bones True Venerable roared menacingly, and countless white bones burst forth from the earth, forming a deadly array; the Black Fiend Demon Venerable transformed into a deep, demonic shadow that devoured light, extinguishing all life wherever it passed.

The Heavenly Abandoned Demon, the Ghost Child, and others were also locked in fierce battles with their respective opponents, unleashing their supernatural powers and causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere, turning the entire battlefield into a meat grinder.

However, the final outcome of all battles hinges on the ultimate showdown at the highest point.

As Huai Zhenzi's immortal soul flickered and the lamp flame grew dimmer, the Hunxie Ancestor, though greatly depleted of his magical power, shone with an even fiercer light in his eyes, letting out a long, earth-shattering roar:
"The Five Fiends unite as one, and all laws devour the heavens!"

He held nothing back, unleashing his full power of demonic energy. The Five Fiends Primordial Qi above his head suddenly collapsed inward, condensing into a magical embryo that shimmered with five kinds of destructive light, resembling the core of a star.

At the same time, he flipped his left hand and summoned his natal magic treasure, nurtured for thousands of years—the Five Fiends Primordial Treasure Mirror!
The treasure mirror was simple and unadorned, its surface murky as if in the beginning of chaos, while its back was carved with five ancient evil beasts, each with a different form and a ferocious roar. As soon as the treasure mirror appeared, the evil and malevolent energy in the world gathered wildly, and the Five Fiend Embryos were instantly thrown into the mirror.

The mirror surface rippled violently like water, then projected a hazy, ever-changing, chaotic divine light that seemed to contain all the information to destroy the world!

Wherever this divine light passed, space silently collapsed and annihilated, directly locking onto Huai Zhenzi within the Soul Lamp!

Huai Zhenzi's divided spirit looked extremely solemn. Although he was a divided spirit and his power was constantly dissipating, his cultivation and vision were still at their peak.

Faced with this overwhelming demonic power capable of devouring him, he shouted in a deep voice:

"The balance of purity and turbidity is established, and the Great Dao is revealed! The Immortal Sword, rise!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the flame of the Immortal Soul Lamp, which held his remaining power, suddenly surged to its limit, its dazzling light almost tearing apart the demonic aura.

A stream of extremely concentrated and clear light, seemingly capable of cleansing all the filth in the world, shot out from the core of the flame.

The flowing light grew longer in the wind, instantly transforming into an ancient and slender immortal sword.

The sword's blade is neither gold nor jade, but flows with a clear yet incredibly resilient aura of the Azure Heaven. It is none other than the sword shadow of the natal immortal sword that Huai Zhenzi relied on when he roamed this world—the Azure Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword!

As soon as the sword was drawn, a majestic and supreme sword intent, capable of stabilizing the universe, spread out, as if it contained the interpretation of order by the Dao of Heaven.

Although it cannot be fully activated by the main body, the unparalleled sharpness and evil-dispelling properties of the immortal sword are enough to make demons tremble!
"Break!" Huai Zhenzi's illusory image merged with the immortal sword, transforming into an incomparably pure azure sword rainbow. Without self or fear, he fearlessly met the chaotic and destructive divine light of the void!

Boom——! ! !
An indescribable, violent collision erupted atop Yunxiao Mountain!

It was as if two completely different little worlds collided and exploded in an instant. Blinding light filled every inch of space, and time seemed to stand still for a moment.

The azure immortal laws and chaotic, evil light intertwined and annihilated each other.

The space was torn apart into countless dark cracks, which then rapidly closed up again.

The terrifying shockwave swept across the four directions and eight wastelands. All the cultivators fighting below, whether righteous or demonic, were violently blown away by this immense force. The sounds of magic treasures shattering, protective spiritual light breaking apart, and screams filled the air.

Lu Cheng used his Five Elements Immortal Qi to withstand the shockwave. His protective immortal light trembled violently, and the rocks beneath his feet turned to dust inch by inch.

Miao Chuyun and the others turned deathly pale. The sword formation's light barrier, which they were struggling to maintain, flickered erratically. Some of the weaker disciples coughed up blood and were blasted away.

Where the light faded, the scene was terrifying.

The illusory image of Huai Zhenzi's immortal soul had dimmed like a candle in the wind. The tip of the "Qiantian Demon-Slaying Sword" that he was wielding was pressed against the core of the "Five Fiends Returning to the Void Light". The Azure Gang Sword Qi resisted the chaotic power that was constantly crushing and encroaching.

Although the Azure Gang Sword Qi remained incomparably sharp, constantly whittling and annihilating the Returning Void Light, its primordial power was being rapidly depleted.

On the other hand, the Five Fiends Returning to the Void Light, though also violently fluctuating and overflowing with demonic energy due to the slash of the Immortal Sword, stubbornly maintained its core chaotic devouring power under the continuous and almost frantic infusion of demonic energy by the Ancestor of Chaos Evil. It was gradually eroding the sharpness of the Immortal Sword and approaching the core of the Soul Lamp!

"Old man Huaizhen! You've lost. You can't stop me from achieving enlightenment!" Although the Ancestor of Chaos was also extremely exhausted, his face was distorted by extreme excitement and ferocity. His eyes burned with the flames of fanaticism and greed, as if he could already see the supreme glory of mastering demonic arts and dominating this world after devouring immortal souls.

A complex sigh flashed across Huai Zhenzi's immortal soul's eyes at this moment, not out of fear, but out of a sense of understanding of fate and a helpless desolation.

Just as the light of the chaotic void was about to touch the Soul Lamp's body, and the wicked patriarch was brimming with pride, about to unleash his demonic power and devour the immortal soul in one fell swoop—

"Foolish child! Do you really think that I left this remnant soul in the world only to hinder your demonic rise?! It's just a pity that this will cut off the path of training for future generations of cultivators." Huai Zhenzi's immortal soul uttered a sharp shout, containing a clear understanding and coldness that seemed to pierce through the ages.

His figure suddenly blurred, as if he had transformed into a wisp of the purest and most refined celestial light!
This light did not attack the Chaos Evil, nor did it continue to resist the Light of Return to the Void. Instead, it suddenly shot towards the Yin-Yang Universe Ring, which was suspended high in the sky, suppressing the spatial fluctuations of the entire battlefield and isolating the destructive power of the battle.

The two ancient jade rings, one yin and one yang, interlocked and rotated, radiating a profound and mysterious power of spatial laws. The celestial light emanating from Huai Zhenzi struck the center of the yang ring with perfect precision!
Om-!
The solar ring suddenly emitted an unprecedentedly intense white light.

An incredibly complex and profound rune, composed of countless golden immortal characters, burst forth instantly from within the Yang Ring!
The moment this rune appeared, it resonated with the most fundamental spatial laws of heaven and earth!
"...This...this is...it's Patriarch Yuyang!!"

The horrified scream of the Chaotic Ancestor suddenly rang out, filled with unprecedented panic!
The Yin Ring suddenly burst forth with black light a hundred times stronger than before, but this black light was no longer a controllable force of heaven and earth; instead, it transformed into an extreme force of chaos, collapse, and backlash.

Like a maggot clinging to his bone, or like a spark igniting his entire body, it instantly poured into his body through the invisible channels connecting him to the Yin Ring, the Five Fiends Primordial Treasure Mirror around him, and his demonic origin.

boom--!
The Five Fiends Primordial Qi surrounding the Ancestor of Chaos instantly disintegrated and collapsed. An indescribable, terrifying demonic fire, originating from his own essence and instantly ignited and amplified to its extreme by the power of the Qiankun Ring rules, violently erupted from his dantian, heart meridian, purple mansion, limbs, bones, and even the depths of every inch of flesh and bone.

"Ancestor... So, so you made your choice long ago!" The eyes of the Chaotic Ancestor bulged out, bloodshot, and his flesh and bones were deformed, melted, and disintegrated in the terrifying five-colored demonic fire.

His thousands of years of arduous cultivation and the ambition of the Heavenly Evil lineage to scheme for ten thousand years were ignited by the betrayal of his most trusted "arms" when he was only a hair's breadth away from the pinnacle. Like a brilliant firework, he was uncontrollably heading towards a destructive self-ignition!

At the very moment his demonic body twisted and the foundation of his cultivation was completely destroyed by demonic fire—

The illusory, almost transparent phantom of Huai Zhenzi's immortal soul had condensed the last bit of what could be called "power".

The Qian Tian Ding Shi Immortal Sword, which was also greatly damaged in spirit and dimmed in luster, trembled slightly and emitted a clear, distant sound.

"Under the guidance of Patriarch Yuyang, your unworthy disciple Zhao Huaizhen shall slay this wicked creature to comfort the spirit of your master in heaven!"

The immortal sword flew up silently, not with a world-shaking strike, but with a supreme sword intent that was devoid of joy or sorrow, without beginning or end, and severing all cause and effect.

It transformed into an extremely restrained stream, as if cutting through the cracks of time. Without any grand momentum, it ignored the collapsing protective demonic flames and distorted space of the Chaotic Ancestor, and swept past the waist of the Chaotic Ancestor, who was already extremely vulnerable due to the torment of demonic fire.

puff!

The sound was faint, yet it seemed to resonate throughout the entire battlefield, leaving an indelible mark on the souls of all who witnessed it!

Without any blood or flesh flying, the almost immortal demonic body of the Chaotic Ancestor, tempered by thousands of years of demonic energy, was cleanly and decisively split in two from the waist down by the clear sword light, just like rotten wood cut by the sharpest Dao principle.

The severed lower body was instantly engulfed by the uncontrolled Five Fiends Demonic Fire erupting from its body, turning into five-colored ashes that dissipated into the world.

The upper half of the severed body hovered stiffly in the air, and from the severed waist, the violent Five Fiends Fire erupted even more fiercely, like a lit five-colored furnace!

This demonic fire burned away his last bit of life, destroyed his thousand-year-old foundation, and even destroyed the very basis of his existence! The rage, greed, and astonishment on his face froze instantly, leaving only an empty, incredulous bewilderment and despair.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only the silent burning of the surging, multicolored demonic fire, and the completely dimmed, drifting away phantom of Huai Zhenzi's immortal soul.

The Ancestor of Chaos, a giant who had dominated the cultivation world of the Seven Realms for thousands of years and almost reached the pinnacle of the demonic path, met his end in such a tragic way: his own foundation was backfired, he was betrayed by the treasures left behind by his sect, and finally all his life force was severed by a single sword. On the Golden Summit of Cloud Peak, his path to enlightenment was destroyed, his demonic body collapsed, and only his remnant body remained, waiting for death in despair.

The world seemed to fall into complete silence at this moment, with only the five-colored demonic fire burning quietly, silently telling the absurdity and desolation of a thousand-year plan that ultimately came to naught.

The universe is like a game of chess; as you move your pieces, who can truly transcend the constraints of this chessboard?
The bloody battle at the Golden Summit in the clouds finally saw a glimmer of hope for a tragic end, but the final outcome remains shrouded in mystery.

Ten thousand years ago, Yu Yangzi, the current leader of Yunxiao Mountain, was a genius who cultivated the three lineages of Taoism, Demonism, and Buddhism, achieving great success in all of them. However, in his later years, he was also trapped by the combined attacks of the three lineages and could not extricate himself from them.

Therefore, he intended to take on disciples and divided the Yunxiao Mountain lineage into two families: Tianxie and Yunxiao Jinding. Both families would jointly wield the Yin-Yang Qiankun Ring to restrain their magical battles.

"Buddha is the Way, demon is the Way, different paths lead to the same destination. Whoever wins will ascend to the golden summit in the clouds and enjoy an eternal destiny."

However, before this Yunxiao Patriarch, who was proficient in the three lineages of Taoism, Demonism, and Buddhism, ascended to immortality, he ultimately made his own choice. To prevent future infighting among his fellow disciples, he used his immense cultivation to set up an extremely secret restriction within the Qiankun Ring, a restriction that could only be fully activated by the true holder of the core lineage of Yunxiao Mountain—the Yang Ring Controlling Yin.

However, after paying a huge price, the Yin Ring, which was forcibly controlled, could turn against its master. This was the last insurance that Yu Yangzi left to prevent the lineage from being cut off.

Until today, it was suddenly ignited.
