The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

Qingcheng Mountain, a Taoist temple a thousand feet underground

In the secret chamber where Chen Xuan had been sleeping for nine hundred years, a pure white beam of light shot into the sky.

This is the eighth stream of light.

In the center of the secret chamber, a destiny mark that had been buried for a thousand years was activated.

The mark is circular, with nine ancient characters engraved on its edge.

Taichu, Xuantian, Cangming, Hunyuan, Wangu, Beiming, Danxia, ​​Qingcheng, Renjian.

Nine ancient characters are arranged in a circle, with the character "陈" in the center.

This is the core array eye of the "Eternal Return to Origin Array" that Chen Xuan personally buried before he fell into a deep sleep a thousand years ago.

At this moment, the core of the formation is activated.

A pure white beam of light pierced through the earth's layers, the foundation of the Taoist temple, the roots of the old plum tree, and the clouds in the sky, speeding toward Tianmen Mountain!

Wherever the beam of light passed, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered wildly, forming a long white rainbow that stretched across the sky!

Northern Frontier, Demon-Suppressing Cliff

The first beam of light landed on the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

Ying Yuehua was leading her clansmen to defend the tower gate when she suddenly felt the tower shake violently!

The Demon-Suppressing Tower, which had stood for nine thousand years, lit up all its runes at the same time, shining with a brilliant golden light!

"This is......"

Ying Yuehua turned around in astonishment.

Inside the tower, the seal that Chen Xuan had reinforced suddenly reversed, no longer suppressing, but extracting!

The remaining demonic energy of the Heavenly Abyss within the seal was forcibly extracted and transformed into pure white Xuan Tian Sword Intent!

The Xuan Tian Sword Intent burst forth from the top of the tower, transforming into a pure white pillar of light that flew towards Tianmen Mountain!

"The Profound Heaven Sword Intent... is responding to the Holy Master's summons!"

Ying Yuehua knelt and kowtowed, "Our ancestor, Ying Tianming, once said that the seal left by the Holy Master was both a suppression and a reserve! Nine thousand years of suppression, nine thousand years of accumulating power, awaiting only the Holy Master's summons!"

East China Sea, Penglai waters

The second streak of light landed on the Cangming Sword Formation.

Shen Cangming has burned through his lifespan to its limit, and the sword formation is about to collapse.

When the light fell, he thought it was another attack from the demons, but then he saw the Cangming Sword Formation suddenly activate on its own!

The array foundations that Chen Xuan personally laid out seven thousand years ago are now fully activated!

The sword intent that had been accumulating in the formation for seven thousand years surged like a tsunami, transforming into a pillar of azure light that flew towards Tianmen Mountain!

"Azure Sea Sword Intent... Return to its Source!"

Shen Cangming knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. "When the Sword Master set up the formation seven thousand years ago, he foresaw this day! These seven thousand years... were not just a seal, but also a nurturing of the sword!"

Western Desert, Blood Fiend Cave Ruins

The third streak of light landed on the ruins.

Sha Wanli sealed the demon with his own body, which has now been partially petrified.

As the light fell, the seals on the Blood Fiend Cave and the Black Wind Cave simultaneously reversed! The remaining primordial power of the two Nascent Soul demons after their purification transformed into chaotic pillars of light that soared into the sky and flew towards Tianmen Mountain!

"Primordial Power..."

Sha Wanli sensed that familiar presence, knelt down, and wept bitterly, "Ancestor! Ancestor did not abandon us! The seal from five thousand years ago... it turns out it was a trump card reserved for today!"

Southern Xinjiang, deep in the mountains

The fourth beam of light landed on an ancient stone tower covered with vines.

That was the Insect Emperor's Seal left by the Myriad Gu True Monarch four thousand years ago.

The stone tower, silent for four thousand years, suddenly trembled! The remnant soul of the ancient insect emperor sealed within the tower was forcibly extracted and refined, transforming into a dark golden pillar of light that flew towards Tianmen Mountain!

In the dense forests of southern Xinjiang, an elderly Gu cultivator who had lived in seclusion for four thousand years shakily stepped out of his thatched hut. Gazing at the dark golden pillar of light, he murmured, "True Lord of Ten Thousand Gu... Master... you are indeed still alive..."

Northern Sea, deep within the icy plains

The fifth beam of light landed on a frozen altar.

That was the Frost Demon Seal left behind by the Northern Underworld Emperor three thousand years ago.

The ice layer of the altar shattered, and the remaining essence of the Nine Netherworld Frost Demon within the seal was extracted, transforming into a pillar of icy blue light that flew towards Tianmen Mountain!

On the icy plains, an elder of the Ice Clan who had been asleep for three thousand years was awakened.

He sensed that familiar power of the Northern Darkness, prostrated himself on the ground, his aged voice trembling like icicles in the wind:

"Emperor Beiming...you have finally...returned..."

Danxia Valley on the coast of the East China Sea

The sixth beam of light landed on an ancient alchemy furnace.

That is the ancestral furnace of the alchemy lineage passed down by Danxia Sanren two thousand years ago.

The alchemy furnace had been dormant for two thousand years, but now the fire spontaneously ignited!

The elixir energy that hundreds of Danxia disciples had cultivated for two thousand years flew out simultaneously, converging into a crimson pillar of light that flew towards Tianmen Mountain!

The current master of Danxia Valley knelt before the ancestral furnace, burning incense and kowtowing: "Ancestor Danxia Hermit... This disciple has waited for six hundred years, and has finally received the Ancestor's summons... The Danxia lineage will not fail the Ancestor's trust!"

Kunlun, Seeking the Peak

The seventh beam of light landed on the three array diagrams.

Yu Xuzi was fighting a desperate battle at Zhennan Pass when he suddenly sensed unusual activity coming from the direction of Kunlun.

He looked back and saw that on the Peak of Asking the Way, the three array diagrams bestowed by Chen Xuan—the Qiankun Seal, the Yin Yang Seal, and the Five Elements Seal—were activated simultaneously!

The three seals merged into one, drawing upon the accumulated spiritual energy of Kunlun Mountain over a thousand years, transforming it into a beam of azure light that flew towards Tianmen Mountain!

"Holy Master..."

Yu Xuzi knelt down, "So, you bestowed the three seals upon Kunlun not only for the Kunlun lineage, but also for... today!"

Qingcheng Mountain, Taoist temple

The eighth stream of light shot out from underground and flew towards Tianmen Mountain.

Lu Yao was anxiously waiting in the courtyard when she suddenly felt a tremor under her feet.

A pure white beam of light shot out from the ground, piercing through the old plum tree in the courtyard. The plum tree instantly burst into bloom with white flowers, the petals fluttering like snowflakes, flying into the sky along with the beam of light.

"Senior brother..."

Lu Yao knelt under the plum tree, her hands clasped together, "Senior brother, you must come back! You promised to teach me the Cangming Sword Technique!"

Tianmen Mountain, the Line Between Heaven and Earth

The ninth streak of light landed on the sword energy mark left by Prime Minister Chen three hundred years ago.

Human Line.

This golden sword mark that runs across the mountain has remained silent for three hundred years.

At that moment, it suddenly shone with golden light!

For three hundred years, all living beings that have been protected by the Human Line.

Their gratitude, faith, and prayers have long been integrated into this sword mark, accumulating over three hundred years.

At this moment, everything is released.

Gratitude transforms into golden light, faith into a golden rainbow, and prayer into a golden torrent!

Nine streams of light, nine pillars of light, flew back to Tianmen Mountain from all corners of the human world!

Nine Paths Return to Origin, Eternity Bestowed Upon Him

As the first Xuan Tian Sword Intent entered his body, Chen Xuan's aura surged, and he broke through from the half-step Fusion stage to the early stage of Fusion!

The second Cangming Sword Technique entered his body, and Chen Xuan's aura surged again, breaking through from the early stage of the Fusion Realm to the middle stage!

The third stream of primordial energy entered his body, and he broke through from the mid-stage of the Fusion Realm to the late-stage of the Fusion Realm!

The fourth power of myriad poisons entered his body, and he broke through from the late stage of the Fusion Realm to the peak of the Fusion Realm!

The fifth Northern Darkness Power entered his body, and he continued to climb to the peak of the Fusion Realm, only one step away from the Great Ascension Realm!

The sixth stream of Danxia Qi entered his body. Although his cultivation had not yet broken through to the Mahayana stage, his injuries were instantly healed and his true essence was restored to its peak!

The seventh stream of Kunlun spiritual energy entered his body, and the Three Seal Array Diagram merged into his dantian, causing his supernatural power to increase threefold!

The eighth Qingcheng mark entered his body, and the natal mark buried a thousand years ago returned to its place. Chen Xuan's soul strength surged, enough to withstand the enormous power of the peak of the Fusion Realm without collapsing!

The power of the ninth human line entered his body, and three hundred years of gratitude and faith transformed into a golden armor that covered Chen Xuan's body!

The armor was engraved with four words: Guardian of Humanity.

The nine paths return to the origin, and the ninety-nine paths return to one.

Chen Xuan's body shone with a brilliant golden light, like a blazing sun falling to earth, so bright that it was impossible to look directly at him!

His cultivation level had stopped at the peak of the Integration stage, just a step away from the Great Ascension stage.

But that's enough.

Because the Heavenly Demon Emperor was only at the early stage of the Fusion Realm.

"This...this is impossible!"

The Demon Emperor's six eyes simultaneously revealed shock and fear: "You actually started plotting this ten thousand years ago?! That's impossible! How could you have foreseen this ten thousand years ago?!"

Chen Xuan slowly ascended into the air, his golden armor gleaming. The Cangming Sword trembled in his hand, its sound like a dragon's roar.

"I didn't foresee this day."

His voice was calm, yet it resounded like thunder from the heavens, echoing throughout the world: "I am simply prepared. Whenever you arrive, I have a way to deal with it."

"I have been preparing for this move for nine thousand eight hundred years."

"Named as—"

He raised his hand, and nine-colored light flowed across the Cangming Sword.

"Returning to the origin of all things."

Rolling

Chen Xuan took a step forward.

With just this one step, the pressure of the peak of the Fusion Realm swept across the entire field!

The million-strong demon army that was fighting against the human race was as fragile as paper under this pressure. The low-level demons were directly blown into blood mist, while the high-level demons were forced to lie prostrate on the ground, unable to move!

In the blink of an eye, a million demons were annihilated!

On battlefields around the world, human cultivators stared blankly at the scene before them. The demons that had been baring their fangs and claws just moments before had suddenly exploded, evaporated, and vanished.

"It's the Holy Master..."

"The Holy Master has succeeded!"

"Humans...have won!"

Cheers echoed from the northern frontier to the East China Sea, from the western desert to the southern frontier, and from Zhennanguan to Zhengzhou.

Everyone knelt down and kowtowed towards Tianmen Mountain.

The Demon Emperor's ten-thousand-foot-tall true form trembled violently.

He sensed the aura emanating from Chen Xuan that far surpassed his own, and fear finally appeared in his six eyes.

"Impossible... I cultivated for 30,000 years, devouring the beings of three worlds, before finally reaching the Integration Realm!"

"How could you, with a mere nine thousand eight hundred years of history, possibly surpass me?!"

"Because for the past 30,000 years, all you've done is devour."

Chen Xuan looked down at the Demon Emperor from his high vantage point, saying, "And I have spent nine thousand eight hundred years cultivating every day, accumulating experience in every lifetime, and each alias is a fresh start."

"You're consuming others, I'm cultivating myself."

"That's the difference."

The Demon Emperor roared, waving all six arms and burning his very essence!

"The Six Paths of Heavenly Demons - All Six Paths Emerge!"

The Asura's Dharma form manifests! A ten-thousand-foot-tall Asura, clad in bone armor and wielding a blood-red blade!

The Beastly Realm manifests! A ten-thousand-foot-tall demonic beast, its fangs like halberds, tears the sky and cleaves the earth!

The hungry ghost realm manifests! A ten-thousand-foot-tall hungry ghost, its gaping maw like an abyss, devours everything!

The form of the Hell Realm manifests! A ten-thousand-foot-tall Yama, wielding chains, judges all living beings!

The Humanitarian Dharma Form manifests! A gigantic being ten thousand feet tall, its fist as solid as a mountain, suppressing all things!

The divine form of Heaven manifests! A towering deity overlooks all living beings, carrying out punishments on behalf of Heaven!

Six dharma forms, six ten-thousand-foot-tall demon gods, simultaneously attacked Chen Xuan!

This is the Demon Emperor's strongest attack, a fusion of the six paths, with power comparable to the peak of the Fusion Realm!

Facing the Six Paths Demon God, Chen Xuan simply raised his hand and clenched his fist.

"Eternal Return to Origin - The First Fist".

He threw a punch.

There was no light, no sound.

Only pure "power".

That is the power condensed to its extreme by nine thousand eight hundred years of cultivation, the ultimate power of the nine inheritances returning to one, and the protective power blessed by the faith of hundreds of millions of living beings in the world!

"Bang--!!!"

The Asura Path Dharma Form is shattered!

The towering Asura was blasted into dust, not even having time to let out a scream!

"The second punch."

The Dharma form of the animal realm, shattered!

"The third punch."

The Dharma form of the Hungry Ghost Realm is shattered!

"The fourth punch."

The Dharma form of the Hell Realm, shattered!

"The fifth punch."

Humanitarianism and the Dharma are shattered!

"The sixth punch."

The Heavenly Dao Dharma Image is shattered!

Six punches, shattering the six realms! Six towering demon gods, each ten thousand feet tall, were completely crushed!

The Demon Emperor spat out black blood, and his ten-thousand-foot-tall true body flew backward, crashing into and shattering three mountain peaks behind him!
