Infinite Fighting

[Jingxu Palace (Central Realm)] Jingyi: Next, I will use my mental domain to encompass everyone's minds. Please do not resist.

As soon as Jing Yi uttered those words, Zhang Ji sensed a vast spiritual will descending suddenly, enveloping all directions, and his consciousness was directly drawn into it.

resistance?

That's simply not true!

Zhang Ji had no room to struggle at all.

The gap between the two sides is too large.

When Zhang Ji regained his senses, the surrounding environment was a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains. Not far away, a three-thousand-foot waterfall flowed, and colorful cranes flew among it.

Looking around, the other immortals had also arrived.

The two immortals, Changhan and Nianqiu, who were by Zhang Ji's side, were also here.

"Is this the Heart Domain of Heavenly Lord Jingyi? All of this is so real, as if it has always existed!"

A real person sighed, looking surprised and doubtful.

“The mind’s domain is reflected outwards, and the illusory becomes real; there is no such thing as falsehood.”

A real person next to them responded.

Zhang Ji looked around and quickly understood the situation.

This is a product of the mind.

That is, the virtual world.

But all the data is real and true, so everything that happens in this world is also real.

As long as Jingyi Tianjun, who created this mental domain, desires it, he can directly transform all of this matter from the illusory into the real and manifest it.

First, act out the fictional, then transform it into reality.

Try to imagine a world that you think is perfect, and then realize it.

This is the essence of the mind domain.

The creation of the world, within the boundless chaos, belongs to the most righteous path.

Living beings learn and understand everything from the universe. The strongest method is naturally to learn from the boundless chaos and create a world of its own.

Suddenly, Zhang Ji's gaze involuntarily shifted in one direction.

There, a handsome young man wearing a purple robe and with his long hair flowing down his back appeared. Between his eyebrows was a purple Dao pattern with a mysterious aura, as if there was some kind of power within it.

He was followed by two young disciples, whose cultivation levels were also extremely high, no less than any of the True Immortals present.

This person was none other than Jingyi, the Heavenly Lord of Jingxu Palace.

It is said that he has been cultivating himself into a Heavenly Lord for tens of millions of years. He has not yet returned to the void, but has stayed in Jingxu Palace to perfect his mental domain. He is preparing to create the world and return to the void after his mental domain is perfected.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists," Jing Yi said, pinching his fingers like orchids.

Upon seeing this, the immortals also performed the proper rites.

Then, Jingyi waved his hand slightly, and cushions appeared beside everyone.

"Please sit down!"

Everyone thanked them and then took their seats.

"On behalf of all living beings, I, Jingyi, am deeply grateful to all fellow Daoists for responding to the call of Jingxu Palace and coming here." Jingyi said politely, and then said, "We apologize for the slight delay caused by the incomplete arrival of everyone earlier. Now that all the fellow Daoists from the Southern Territory have arrived, we can enter the Heart Domain to discuss the important matter of resisting the demons."

Upon hearing the explanation, several people's expressions became slightly subtle.

It's obvious that those who were making a big fuss in the group earlier were them.

It would be fine if the Heavenly Emperor didn't show himself, but now that we've actually encountered him, it's hard not to have many thoughts.

"You all probably have different knowledge about the extraterrestrial demons. I have already fought with one of them and tested him a bit, and obtained some information, which you can read on your own."

As Jing Yi spoke, Zhang Ji and the others gleaned a great deal of information from their own consciousness.

That was none other than the message from Jing Yi regarding the extraterrestrial demons.

It resembled a huge sphere, which Zhang Ji felt was probably twice as big as the Origin Star. It was covered with countless nests, in which a massive number of insects moved in and out, carrying resources in and out.

It can devour all matter in the outside world, including soil, stones, and flesh and blood.

It devours and transforms these resources, gradually becoming larger and producing new insects, thereby rapidly increasing its army and acquiring more resources.

In a short time, it devoured a massive amount of surrounding matter; from a magnified perspective, a large chunk of the northern border was gone.

"That extraterrestrial demon looks like this? It's like a beehive!"

"Those Heavenly Demons, even the weakest of them, are not much weaker than those at the Rift Mountain Realm, right? Their numbers are far too many, easily exceeding hundreds of millions."

"In such a short time, the Northern Territory has already been devoured by one or two-thousandths of its territory, and its rate of encroachment is accelerating. If left unchecked, it may only take a hundred years for it to completely devour Quanxu!"

"I thought this extraterrestrial demon only extracted some of the essence from the world, but it turns out it extracts it like this? It devours endless matter, not letting go of any trace of the world's essence?"

The faces of the real people were filled with shock and astonishment. They were shocked by the enemy's strange form and astonished by its greed.

The origin of the world exists within all matter; it is the core energy that shapes all things in the world, and it is the substance that is filtered and transformed from chaos.

However, ordinary creatures are not easy to utilize either.

Under normal circumstances, the Heavenly Rulers will utilize the energy of the origin.

The Heavenly Lord can refine all things, extract their essence, and use it to refine medicine or weapons, or to strengthen himself.

However, the Heavenly Rulers use them in a restrained manner, so as not to harm the heavens and earth themselves.

Moreover, the vast amount of primordial energy in the universe is more than enough for the Heavenly Lords to use up in a short period of time, even if they were to create it as much as they wanted.

But these extraterrestrial demons are different.

Its life form is very special.

The individual is civilization itself.

Its purpose is to devour everything to sustain its own civilization, growing and spreading without restraint.

Jing Yi said, "When I went to the rescue after receiving a distress call from the Northern Territory, I fought it. Although its attacks were strong, its body was cumbersome and could not move to hit me. Although its defense was strong, it could not withstand the burning of my [Illuminating Mirror]'s Illuminating Profound Light. Originally, I planned to kill it directly, but it had seven Heavenly Demons with cultivation levels no less than those in the Returning Void Realm nurtured within its body. With these Heavenly Demons joining forces, I had to temporarily avoid its sharp edge and retreat to the Middle Realm."

Although Jing Yi was forced to flee, the fact that he was able to calmly retreat after being attacked by seven Guixu Heavenly Demons together demonstrates his considerable strength.

At least in terms of speed, these extraterrestrial demons are definitely no match for Jing Yi.

“Through this encounter, I realized that I alone could not fight against this extraterrestrial demon. So I sent a message to all the sects, asking for their help. Fortunately, all the sects have the world in their hearts and are willing to come together to eliminate the demon,” Jingyi said.

“Lord Jingyi, let’s skip the formalities. If we delay any longer, and that Heavenly Demon gives birth to a few more Returning Void Heavenly Demons, this matter will become even more difficult to handle. Let’s just tell each other how we should fight against that extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon,” said a True Person.

"You need not worry about that. I observe that although the extraterrestrial demon can create a large number of ordinary demons, it is not easy to create demons at the Void Returning Realm. Moreover, I have some ideas on how to deal with it."

With a wave of his hand, Jing Yi displayed a map of the Northern Territory, showing numerous red dots, with the location of the extraterrestrial demon at the core.

“This extraterrestrial demon’s main body is too bulky and cannot flexibly change its position, which is a huge flaw in itself.” Jing Yi explained, “As long as we set up a large array of restrictions at these points in advance to cut off its path to obtain the source and surround it, we can ensure that it can no longer obtain more source. Then, we can shrink further and finally join forces to use the sect’s most treasured artifacts to suppress and kill it.”

It's a very simple strategy.

Surround them, cut off their escape route, and then engage in the final battle.

"That extraterrestrial demon has seven powerful beings at the Void Returning Realm under its command. If they appear, how should we deal with them?" one of the True Immortals asked.

“Sects of the same realm should build protective barriers together. If an enemy attacks, they can use their divine weapons to hold them off for a while. I will arrive to help them in a short time and join forces to kill them,” Jing Yi said. “Those seven Void Demons are far inferior to me in terms of individual combat strength. Even if they send three of them at the same time, I can still fight them. As long as the sects’ most treasured divine weapons can hold them off, I am confident that I can kill one of them in a short time. This situation of the demon invasion will then be resolved.”

Jing Yi spoke as if facing the extraterrestrial demons would be an easy task, but Zhang Ji knew that things were not as simple as Jing Yi made them out to be.

Before Zhang Ji arrived, Chen Hong had revealed some information from the sect's Guixu Heavenly Lord to Zhang Ji.

The strength of this extraterrestrial demon, 【Nest Mother】, is greater than imagined; ordinary Returning Void Heavenly Lords are no match for her.

Jing Yi wasn't forced back by Chao Mu's seven subordinates at the Void Returning Realm; rather, he was simply no match for Chao Mu in the first place.

However, even the Nest Mother probably couldn't do anything about Jing Yi's extremely fast flight speed.

Its life form is so unique that it's impossible for it to be compared with a Heavenly Lord whose flight speed exceeds that of a flowing light.

To some extent, Jingyi wasn't wrong to use Chaomu as a target.

Jingyi's claim that he could suppress and kill Chao Mu was simply a joke.

It is very difficult to truly break through the defenses of that life form from the outside; at most, only a layer of its outer shell can be removed.

As for his ability to fight against three Heavenly Demons at the Void Returning Realm, he claims it.

That's true.

The seven Heavenly Demons under the command of the Nest Mother, who were at the Returning to Emptiness Realm, were of average strength compared to their peers. Jing Yi's flying speed far surpassed that of his peers, so he could easily handle three opponents at once, kiting them like kites.

But it's more about maneuvering like a kite, not direct confrontation.

Zhang Ji felt that Jing Yi's proposed encirclement and suppression plan was only feasible, but the possibility of actually killing Chao Mu was not very high.

In the end, it's more likely that we'll just be forcing it to leave.

However, if he didn't say it that way, it would be hard to guarantee that these sects would all put in their best effort.

The resources required to use the foundation of a sect are enormous. Even if Guixu Tianjun wanted to recharge his magical artifacts, it would be extremely difficult within the world.

Only by venturing into the boundless void and chaos can one quickly obtain energy, allowing these illusory-level magical artifacts to rapidly replenish their energy.

Under normal circumstances, using these virtual-grade magical artifacts once is equivalent to a sect working for nothing for a hundred years, burning through all the accumulated resources.

Therefore, they must be given unwavering confidence in their ability to win before they are likely to give their all.

As for sects like Zhang Ji's that are well aware of the situation, that's a different story.

After all, not every sect can still maintain contact with their Guixu Heavenly Lord.

It's been so long, who knows which world they've wandered off to, or whether they've truly vanished into nothingness altogether. (End of Chapter)
