Projection of the Heavens: I prove my immortality through slaughter.

At the edge of the Xuan Tian Starfield, the Zhou Tian Star Array trembled violently under the bombardment of the Dark Singularity by the late-stage Nascent Soul Heavenly Demon Monarch. The starlight dimmed, and cracks began to appear. The allied cultivators were filled with dread, and an atmosphere of despair, like cold stardust, once again permeated the air. All their hopes rested on the unmoving purple-gold figure atop the main star.

Lin Xuan stood atop the main star, his robes fluttering in the turbulent energy currents. His profound gaze pierced the starlight barrier, meeting the blood-red vertical pupils of the Heavenly Demon Lord. The other's will, filled with destruction and greed, struck his Dao heart like a tangible iceberg.

However, just as he gathered his magical power, preparing to face the strongest battle since his arrival in this world—

A violent fluctuation originating from the very source of his soul and transcending the endless dimensions of the void exploded in his mind like an alarm bell!

It's the Ancient Wilderness! It's the faith connection between the Rock Tribe and his projected divine consciousness that has sent an unprecedented crisis signal!

……

Ancient Wilderness Realm, Rock Tribe.

While Lin Xuan was drawing stars and setting up a grand formation in the real world, confronting the Heavenly Demon Lord, the situation in the Desolate Ancient Realm did not become deadlocked due to the fall of the Divine Child Lei Yi and the issuance of the God-Demon Wanted Order.

The wrath of the innate god-demon Leize was far beyond the ordinary.

Driven by His ancient will, a massive extermination campaign targeting the Rock Tribe, or rather, targeting Lin Xuan, the "blasphemer," and the source of his faith, unfolded with overwhelming force. This was no longer a test, but a true all-out offensive aimed at complete annihilation!

This time, it was not hunters who came, nor a single ferocious beast or divine child.

The sky was obscured by a dense army of divine and demonic servants riding various flying beasts! They came from different vassal races—the fire lizards who wielded flames, the shadow demons who lurked in the shadows, the thunder wolves who roared through the heavens, and the Gu eagles who were shrouded in poisonous mist... Banners fluttered, demonic energy surged, and their numbers numbered in the tens of thousands, among whom there were no fewer than a hundred auras comparable to those of Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators!

The earth rumbled! In the distance, billowing dust rose like moving mountains! That was the "Hill Giants" tribe, driven by the will of Razer, marching with earth-shaking strides towards the Rock Tribe. Further away, there were "Stone Spirits" wielding the power of the earth, and some strange-looking abyssal monsters exuding a foul aura.

This is clearly a coalition of gods and demons composed of multiple races! Its size and strength are enough to easily crush any medium-sized force in the Ancient Wilderness Realm!

Above this allied army, three figures with the most terrifying auras, like three calamity suns, hung high in the sky, their icy wills firmly locked onto the tribe below, which was shrouded in a pale golden light of faith.

The one in the center was none other than the Fire Lizard King, the leader of the Fire Lizard Clan who had previously appeared in the Hall of Ten Thousand Thunders! At this moment, the flames around it were no longer dark red, but had transformed into a terrifyingly high temperature that was almost white, and its aura had reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm! The giant lava axe in its hand was burning with flames powerful enough to evaporate rivers.

On the left is the Shadow Demon leader, whose figure is becoming increasingly distorted and blurred. It seems to have merged into an independent shadow dimension, with an unpredictable and strange aura. It is also in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

On the right, however, stood a hill giant king clad in heavy rock armor and wielding a giant stone hammer! His body was hundreds of feet tall, and his savage aura soared into the sky, his power level in no way inferior to the former two!

Three Nascent Soul stage experts, commanding tens of thousands of troops, are besieging the city!

Within the Rocky Tribe, every member felt an overwhelming, terrifying pressure, as if the sky were collapsing. The pale golden light of faith (condensed from Lin Xuan's projection combined with the tribe's faith) flickered and cracked under this combined pressure. The old priest Cang and the few Foundation Establishment cultivators were deathly pale, but they still held on, leading the entire tribe to kneel before the altar, praying frantically, channeling their purest faith power into the will in the void.

Lin Xuan's projected avatar hovered above the altar. Compared to his real-world counterpart, the aura of this projection was noticeably weaker. He gazed solemnly at the allied forces that blotted out the sky, especially those three powerful figures.

He could mobilize the tribe's faith power, combined with his own understanding of the Great Dao of Power and the Dao of Annihilation, and his combat power in a short period of time was comparable to that of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. He could even hold his own due to his advantage in the Great Dao level. However, facing three equally powerful individuals and this massive army, protecting the tribe was virtually an impossible task.

Moreover, he could sense an even more terrifying and ancient will, like a cold star, indifferently watching this place from the far reaches of the Thunder Mountains. That was the true form of the Thunder Clan! Once He realized that this place had been impasse for so long, would He personally descend a projection, or even... His true form descend?

The Demon Lord of the real world, and the allied forces of gods and demons in the ancient wilderness.

Two major battlefields and two powerful enemies launched their attacks simultaneously!

……

In the real world, before the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array.

The Demon Lord seemed to have noticed Lin Xuan's momentary distraction, and let out a triumphant roar. He raised his giant claws again, and dark energy gathered wildly, preparing to launch a second, even more ferocious attack! The cracks on the starlight barrier seemed to be slowly widening under the erosion of demonic energy.

The exclamations of the allied cultivators mingled with the savage laughter of the Heavenly Demon.

Lin Xuan's true form stands atop the main star, facing the immense pressure of the survival of the real star field on one side and the crisis of the destruction of the faith foundation of the Desolate Ancient Realm on the other.

His eyes, after a fleeting, almost imperceptible flicker, returned to their absolute coldness and calm.

The unbreakable Dao heart is not without waves, but rather able to maintain a sliver of clarity and authenticity amidst any turbulent waves.

"Single-mindedly, with divine thoughts multiplying into a thousand..."

The method he comprehended under the relentless pursuit of the Golden-Winged Roc was pushed to its limit at this moment!

His main consciousness remained firmly locked onto the Heavenly Demon Lord of the real world. The immense power of the Nine-Turn Second-Turn Golden Core began to surge. Under his guidance, the Zhou Tian Star Array began to draw power from distant stars to repair the barriers and prepare for a devastating collision.

Meanwhile, another part of the core divine thought, along the channel of faith, crossed dimensions with unprecedented intensity and descended upon the Ancient Wilderness Realm!

Reality and projection, starfields and wilderness.

Two-front warfare, erupting simultaneously!
