Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

In the shadowy void not far from the battlefield, Yan Guiren and his two companions quietly observed this great battle between humans and celestial beings.

"See?"

Li Xunhuan toyed with his throwing knife, his tone laced with mockery.

"This so-called alliance is riddled with internal motives."

"That Zhuge Xiu was clearly tricked to death by Leng Wuyai of the Xuanming Sect."

Yan Shisan gripped the hilt of his sword, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit:

"This is a complete mess, should we intervene?"

Yan Guiren's gaze swept across the battlefield: "No rush. Let's split our forces into two groups."

"I'll stay here and keep an eye on the battle. You two, along with Black Emperor, go and investigate the Nine Nether Demon Sect to see if there's anything worth noting."

"Can."

Li Xunhuan nodded in agreement, but when he turned around, he found himself alone.

"Where's the Black Emperor? Where did he go?"

Yan Guiren glanced at the direction of the Demon Sect's headquarters in the distance and shook his head helplessly:

"That bastard must have acted alone."

"Never mind that, you guys go."

"Oh! By the way, if you come across the Nine Nether Demon Sect's treasure vault, don't hesitate to empty it."

"Alright."

Li Xunhuan smiled and said to Yan Shisan, "Let's go, Brother Shisan."

The two figures blurred, like two streaks of light, and sped towards the headquarters of the Nine Nether Demon Sect.

……

On the other side, Black Emperor, relying on his keen sense of smell, ran all the way to the outside of the Nine Nether Demon Sect's main altar.

It glimpsed the group of shadows in the mountains behind the sect, working together to break through a formation core that emitted a bloody aura.

He pursed his lips, uninterested in getting involved, and headed straight for the source of the most concentrated treasure energy within the sect.

"Baby, I'm here!"

Black Emperor's eyes gleamed as he charged toward a hidden hall.

With a swipe of its claws, several beams of black light shot out, easily breaking through the protective array outside the main hall.

"Snap!"

The formation shattered, and the Black Emperor rushed inside.

The main hall was filled with all sorts of rare and precious materials, cultivation techniques and secret manuals, and even a few magical artifacts that emitted spiritual light.

"Hahaha! We're rich! We're rich!"

"As expected of the Nine Nether Demon Sect, they actually have such resources. After absorbing them, it will be enough for me to recover some of my strength!"

Black King excitedly wagged its tail, opened its huge mouth, and a powerful suction force erupted.

It devoured all the treasures inside the hall like a whale swallowing its prey.

"Burp~"

After letting out a burp, Black King licked his paws and sniffed them.

"Hmm? There's one more place!"

With a swift movement, it rushed towards another treasure vault.

……

On the battlefield, the fierce fighting continues.

The duel between Mo Tianchou and Xing Xuanfeng has reached a critical moment.

Mo Tianchou's Shadow Steps were unpredictable and elusive, the blood patterns on his demonic sword shimmering, and each strike carried a strange power capable of tearing apart the soul.

Although Xing Xuanfeng barely managed to hold on with the power of the stars, his spiritual energy was greatly depleted, and he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

His shoulder had been slashed open by the demonic sword, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound that was dripping with blood.

"Heh heh heh, kid from the Star Pavilion, is this all you have up your sleeve?"

Mo Tianchou sneered, and his demonic sword suddenly transformed into a streak of blood-red light, bypassing Xing Xuanfeng's defenses and piercing straight into his chest.

"not good"

Xing Xuanfeng tried to dodge but it was too late; he could only watch helplessly as the demonic sword came hurtling towards him.

"The swallows have returned!"

With a low shout, a silver halberd pierced through the air, its tip carrying a spiraling force, and struck the demonic sword precisely.

"clang!"

The immense force struck, and Mo Tianchou felt his tiger's mouth go numb; his demonic sword was even shaken and deflected by an inch.

"Who are you?!"

Mo Tianchou roared and looked at the newcomer.

A young man dressed in silver armor, holding a long halberd, stood tall and straight; he was none other than Yan Guiren.

"Eternal Night Sky, one of the Six Absolutes, the Halberd Absolute."

Yan Guiren spoke calmly, then turned to Xing Xuanfeng and asked, "Fellow Daoist of the Star Pavilion, are you alright?"

Xing Xuanfeng caught his breath and said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist!"

"The Six Absolute Techniques of Eternal Night?"

A knowing glint flashed in Mo Tianchou's eyes.

"So you're the halberd-wielding kid my martial uncle Xue Wutian mentioned!"

"I knew that based on the intelligence from the Demon-Slaying Assembly, your people from Eternal Night Heaven would definitely get involved, but you've been nowhere to be seen. Turns out you've been secretly watching all along!"

Yan Guiren ignored Mo Tianchou and turned to Xing Xuanfeng, saying, "Fellow Daoist Xing, leave this person to me."

"Fellow Daoist, be careful!" Xing Xuanfeng nodded and stepped back.

Yan Guiren brandished his halberd, pointing it at Mo Tianchou:

"Make your move. Let me see just how capable the Nine Nether Demon Sect Master is."

"I'd also like to see if your so-called 'Halberd Annihilation' from the Eternal Night Heaven is truly as powerful as my martial uncle claims!"

Mo Tianchou's figure blurred, turning into several afterimages. He swung his demonic sword again, attacking Yan Guiren with a sky full of blood shadows.

"The swallows have returned!"

Yan Guiren remained calm and composed, wielding his halberd with impenetrable skill, creating a dense array of halberd shadows that blocked all remaining afterimages.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The sounds of halberds clashing against swords were incessant, and sparks flew everywhere.

Mo Tianchou grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed; he realized that Yan Guiren's strength far surpassed Xing Xuanfeng's.

Not only was his halberd technique exquisite, but his strength was also incredibly domineering, causing his arm to go numb with every collision.

"This guy... is even stronger than my martial uncle said!"

Mo Tianchou thought to himself, no longer daring to underestimate him in the slightest.

……

After escaping, Xing Xuanfeng scanned the battlefield and quickly locked onto the battle situation closest to him.

The Taoist Master Ziyang and the Minghe were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

Although the Taoist talisman of Ziyang was exquisite, the bloodthirsty aura of the Ming River was extremely domineering, and it was difficult to win for the time being.

A cold glint flashed in Xing Xuanfeng's eyes, and he moved like lightning, instantly appearing behind Minghe.

With hands forming a mudra, endless starlight condensed into a dazzling star spear:

"Starlight Thorn!"

The Star Spear, silent yet possessing an all-piercing power, stabbed fiercely towards Minghe's back.

Minghe was engaged in a fierce battle with Ziyang Daoist and was completely unaware of the sneak attack from behind. By the time he sensed the danger, it was too late!

"Pfft!"

The star spear pierced straight through his body, drawing out a pool of blood.

"what!"

Minghe let out a scream, his body trembled violently, and his defenses collapsed instantly.

"The Tao follows the natural way, thus eliminating evil!"

Upon seeing this, Daoist Ziyang did not hesitate. With a flick of his whisk, thousands of silver threads shot out like sharp blades, instantly piercing Minghe's body.

"Despicable! They actually launched a sneak attack!"

Minghe's eyes were filled with resentment and bitterness. His body went limp and he stopped breathing.

Master Ziyang cupped his hands in greeting to Xing Xuanfeng and said:

"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Xing for your help!"

"It's alright." Xing Xuanfeng shook his head. "Let's go support the others!"

"good!"

Daoist Ziyang and Xing Xuanfeng moved like lightning and quickly arrived at the battlefield where Yunhe was.

At this point, Yunhe was in grave danger.

"Fellow Daoist Yunhe, we have come to your aid!"

With a clear shout, the Taoist Master Ziyang waved his whisk, sending thousands of silver threads shooting towards Luo Mie, interrupting his attack.

Xing Xuanfeng also made his move at the same time, his fingertips shimmering with starlight, condensing into several star blades that aimed directly at Luo Mie's vital points.

"Thank you both for your timely assistance!"

Yunhe felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly took a few steps back. Then, his swordplay suddenly changed, and he launched an attack in coordination with the two of them.

"Azure Cloud Sword Technique, the sword locks the sky!"

Three sword lights intertwined, completely blocking Luo Mie's retreat.

Upon seeing this, Luo Mie roared in fury, and the blood-red patterns on his demonic axe surged: "Blood Demon Mad Axe!"

He used up all his remaining spiritual power to swing his axe, trying to force the three of them back.

But Xing Xuanfeng is already at the peak of the Celestial Realm, and Ziyang and Yunhe are also at the late stage of the Celestial Realm. How could he possibly withstand the combined attack of the three of them?

"Bang!"

Starlight Chains bound his legs, silver threads wrapped around his arms, and Yunhe's sword light seized the opportunity to pierce his abdomen.

"puff!"

Luo Mie spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes.

"Damn it! Since I can't live, you won't have it easy either!"

His demonic energy and blood energy surged wildly, causing his body to swell.

The skin was covered with dense, blood-red lines, exuding a destructive aura.

"Oh no! He's going to self-destruct!"

Xing Xuanfeng's expression changed drastically. He reacted instantly, retreating rapidly while shouting,

"Retreat now!"

Ziyang Daoist and Yunhe also sensed the danger and quickly retreated.

However, Luo Mie was too close to them, and his self-destruction was extremely fast, so they didn't have time to retreat to a safe distance.

"Boom—!"

With a deafening roar, Luo Mie's body exploded, and a violent energy shockwave spread out like a tsunami.

Black demonic energy intertwined with dark red blood energy, forming a destructive storm that swept across the surroundings.

Xing Xuanfeng retreated the fastest, and with the protection of starlight, although he was hit by the shockwave, he only suffered a surge of blood and qi and was not seriously injured.

Ziyang Daoist and Yunhe were not so lucky.

They retreated too slowly and were hit head-on by the violent energy, causing their protective Dao power and sword energy to collapse instantly.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Both of them coughed up a mouthful of blood at the same time, their bodies flying backward like kites with broken strings.

He crashed heavily to the ground, his breath weak, clearly suffering severe injuries.

Smoke and dust filled the air, leaving only a huge crater in the original location.

Xing Xuanfeng rushed forward to check and found that although Daoist Ziyang and Yunhe were not dead,

But his breathing was weak, clearly indicating that he had lost his fighting ability, which made me frown.

Although Luo Mie died from his self-destruction, he managed to seriously injure two Celestial Realm experts from the alliance. So, this deal wasn't a complete loss after all.

After thinking for a moment, I took out two healing pills and fed them to them.
