I'll make you the furnace and the cauldron, so you can refine Yin and Yang and prove the Great

Meanwhile.

Blood Fiend Sect.

The former mountain gate of the fourth largest sect of the demonic path is now a scorched earth.

The remnants of the mountain-protecting formation lay scattered haphazardly across the mountainside, the main peak severed in two, countless palaces reduced to dust. The air still lingered with the aftershocks of the clash of laws; even the wind was scorching. It carried a burnt, blood-soaked, and scorching scent on the face, a mixture of the stench of burning spiritual materials. Beneath the scorched earth, occasional fragments of unburnt spiritual materials crackled and popped, like the final groans of this dead sect.

Two figures stood atop the ruins.

Su Qingyun, Jiang Daoxuan.

Xue Qianzhong has been executed. This Blood Fiend Sect Master, who was only half a step away from entering the Dao Integration Realm, was cut off by the two of them at the most critical moment of his breakthrough. His Dao Foundation collapsed, and he died under the two intertwined laws without even leaving a last word.

As he fell, his fingers were still outstretched towards the sky. He never understood why, even though the door was open this time, he still couldn't get in.

The Blood Fiend Sect, which had dominated the Western Regions for thousands of years, was thus wiped out.

Although the sect was destroyed, not all the people were killed.

Further into the sky, streaks of light rose from the cracks in the ruins, flying in twos and threes like frightened flocks of birds, fleeing in all directions for their lives—those were the remnants of the Blood Fiend Sect. When the great battle began, these people burrowed into the mountains and underground like eels; now that their sect leader had fallen and the great formation had collapsed, they scattered like birds and beasts.

Some headed south, some headed north, and some, in a panic, plunged headlong into the desolate depths of the Gobi Desert, hoping not to be caught by the powerful Dao-Merging experts of the Immortal Alliance.

Jiang Daoxuan glanced at the fleeing lights, his brows slightly raised: "Should we pursue them or not?"

"No need," Su Qingyun shook her head. "Not many people escaped. The Blood Fiend Sect's lineage has been severed, and the main peak's scriptures and treasure vaults are all in our hands. The rest are just some rogue cultivators from the outer sects; they can't cause any trouble."

She paused, gazing into the distance: "The most urgent task is to rejoin the main army."

"Very well." Jiang Daoxuan withdrew his gaze, grinned, "That saves you some trouble."

"Fellow Daoist Su," he turned his head, "in my opinion, what follows is quite simple."

Su Qingyun frowned slightly: "Fellow Daoist, do you wish to continue fighting? Although the Yinquan Sect has suffered heavy losses, its protective formation is still presided over by a Dao Integration Realm expert. Moreover, the Hehuan Sect has gained a new Dao Integration Realm expert. If the two sects join forces, there will be three Dao Integration Realm experts..."

"Three Venerables?" Jiang Daoxuan scoffed. "The Yinquan Sect Master was severely injured by our combined efforts and is now hiding in his shell recuperating. How much fighting power does he have left? That woman from the Hehuan Sect, she only broke through to the Dao Integration Realm a few days ago, her realm hasn't even stabilized yet, and she's considered a Venerable?"

"The Demonic Path has gained another Dao Integration cultivator, but it has also lost one sect after another. With the Blood Fiend Sect destroyed, the Yin Spring Sect is left isolated. Once the main army arrives, the two of us will hold off their Dao Integration cultivators, and the rest—we'll leave to the main army to crush."

He spoke slowly and deliberately:

"With one decisive blow, annihilate the Yinquan Sect. Even if we can't completely destroy them in this battle, we must thoroughly crush the arrogance of the demonic path. We must let everyone in the Central Continent see clearly—the Immortal Alliance's military might is invincible and unstoppable."

Su Qingyun listened quietly, then looked at the still-lingering crimson embers in the sky and nodded slightly.

"I will follow your advice, fellow practitioner."

"Let's go and meet up with Fellow Daoist Yinling. We still need to inform her about the army's departure."

Two streaks of light shot into the sky, one blue and one white, rushing towards the direction where the Immortal Alliance army was stationed. The streaks of light tore through the twilight, like two knives cleaving the sky of the Western Regions.

Behind them, the ruins of the Blood Fiend Sect burned silently in the twilight. The firelight illuminated half the sky and the uncollected corpses on the scorched earth.

The heavens of the demonic path are collapsing inch by inch.
