Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

to be honest.

Whether Chang Wen is human or demon is not their concern.

The real concern should be directed at top-tier forces like the Taixu Sword Sect, the Myriad Manifestations Palace, and the Haoran Immortal Sect.

How the situation develops afterward also depends on the attitude of the three major sects.

Upon realizing this, all the cultivators of the Northern Wilderness abandoned their thoughts and watched carefully.

Surprisingly, everyone's gaze was focused on Chang Wen and Taiyi.

Now that the demons intend to give up, the real decision on the future of the Demon Suppression Ceremony rests entirely with these two.

"Chang Wen".

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Taiyi did not hesitate at all. He went to the front of the Taixu Sword Sect crowd and looked directly at Chang Wen.

"explain."

Chang Wen also turned to Taiyi.

"Given the current situation, I could have chosen not to touch you."

Taiyi slowly opened his mouth and continued, "Once the Demon Suppression Ceremony is over, the news here will surely be known to everyone in the Northern Wilderness. And you will be caught in the crossfire of public opinion, and your fate will most likely be very tragic."

This statement was widely accepted.

Although Chang Wen doesn't have any demonic traces, public opinion doesn't care about anything. Once you get involved, you'll be lucky to escape with your life.

"What are you trying to say?"

Chang Wen inquired.

"What I want to say is... whether you get caught up in public opinion or not is your own business."

Taiyi's lips twitched slightly. "Before that, the matter between us... should also come to an end."

These words were spoken.

The emotions of everyone in the Taixu Sword Sect instantly soared.

I could watch you die, but I won't. I'll send you to your death myself. That's how confident I am!

This is the true value of the number one hero in the Northern Wilderness!

"It's no problem to end it, but before that, I think we should perform the demon-suppressing ritual first."

Chang Wen made the suggestion.

"Can."

Taiyi did not refuse.

The demon-suppressing ceremony is the most important part of the demon-suppressing ritual and is not related to the feud between the two sects.

So, the two tacitly returned to their respective camps and quietly waited for the demon-suppressing ceremony to begin.

a few days later.

Seventy-five days have passed since everyone entered the Demon Suppression Platform. Only half a month remains until the end of the Demon Suppression Ceremony.

The entrance to Zhenmo Peak is now completely closed.

Those cultivators who failed to reach the Demon-Suppressing Peak can only eke out a living here until the next Demon-Suppressing Ceremony begins. Their fate is entirely in the hands of destiny.

The hundreds of millions of cultivators who arrived at the Demon-Suppressing Peak secretly rejoiced at their survival. They all prepared for the upcoming demon-suppressing ceremony.

The so-called demon-suppressing ritual is simply reinforcing the great array that covers the top of the demon-suppressing peak.

This formation... is the key formation to prevent the desire energy of the Demon Suppression Platform from flowing to the outside world.

Under the constant erosion of desire, the energy of the great formation is constantly weakening. Therefore, every two years, people come here to reinforce the formation.

However, the sudden appearance of the three demons has brought the array's core to the brink of collapse. Even if they reinforce the array, it probably won't last long.

That's not their business.

The demon-suppressing ceremony began, led by the three sects.

Countless cultivators sacrificed a drop of their own blood essence, shooting it towards the core of the great formation to provide it with a massive amount of energy, allowing the formation to sustain itself until the next Demon Suppression Ceremony begins.

The process lasted a full five days.

Five days later.

The great formation returned to calm, and the cultivators all retreated to the side.

With this, the Demon Suppression Ceremony concludes. The entrance to the outside world has been opened, and people can leave at any time.

In previous Demon Suppression Ceremony events, most of the cultivators from the Northern Wilderness would depart at this time. But not this time.

This period is specifically designated by the Haoran Immortal Sect and the Taixu Sword Sect to resolve their grievances. This has always been the case.

Countless eyes fell on Chang Wen and Taiyi, all thoughts set aside, just to watch the two fight.

Whether it was the three consecutive wins, Chang Wen's fall from grace, or any other matters concerning the two, all of these were forgotten by the people.

They just wanted to watch.

Who is the true number one hero of the Northern Wilderness? This is a topic that people have been discussing for a year.

Now that the answer is about to be revealed, everyone wants to see the result.

What people are most looking forward to is not the title of the greatest hero in the Northern Wilderness, but... who can walk out of here alive.

After the two engage in their final battle, will a large-scale war break out between the Haoran Immortal Sect and the Taixu Sword Sect?

This is a topic that concerns their actual interests, and no one can ignore it.

It is worth mentioning that.

Zhou Qing, the Earth Demon King, several demon envoys, and the three demons of the Northern Wilderness were all watching the battle from the shadows.

Outsiders, including Venerable White Eyebrows, Jiang Daolin of the Holy Alliance, Ren Yuanzi, Lin Baoding, Kong Jian, Yin Tiancheng, and many other important figures from the Imperial Continent, were also watching the battle here through special means.

It truly garnered worldwide attention.

Without it.

Chang Wen's subsequent performance will determine the overall situation in the Northern Wilderness and the future developments in the Five Regions.

Chang Wen, who was involved in the incident, was unaware of these things.

As a participant in the war, he ignored all external influences from the very beginning. Only in this way could he maximize his combat effectiveness.

Taiyi was the same; his eyes were fixed on Changwen, and he unleashed his full power at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

In this battle, he no longer needs to hold back any trump cards.

He wanted to defeat Chang Wen in the most powerful way, not only to wash away the shame of the past, but also to obtain the ticket to enter the Imperial Continent.

"Today, we will determine who is superior and who is inferior, and we will also decide who lives and who dies."

Taiyi stood with his sword in hand, his gaze disdainful.

"Having determined who is superior and who is inferior, and also decided who lives and who dies..."

Chang Wen looked at Taiyi, seemingly lost in thought.

In the past, he might have acted without hesitation, but now he has too many concerns.

Whether it was the warning from Venerable White Eyebrows, the arrival of Jiang Daolin from the Holy Alliance, or the appearance of Zhou Qing, all of these indicated how serious the matter was.

He had no doubt that the impact of this battle might be too great for even Ren Yuanzi to handle.

Everything is unknown.

Therefore, his next decision is crucial.

Should they truly fight Taiyi, or heed the words of Venerable White Eyebrows: only defeat is allowed, victory is forbidden?

He soon had the answer.

Damn it, with the Immortal-Slaying Sword in hand, what's he afraid of? Let's just do it!

With this thought, Chang Wen's gaze cleared again as he looked at Taiyi, "Then so be it!"

Without uttering a single wasted word, the Power Pole activated and charged straight at Taiyi!

With his peak Tribulation Transcending cultivation, coupled with the supreme amplification of the Law of Heaven and Earth, and further enhanced by the combat power of the Ice and Fire Dual Extremes Technique, Chang Wen's combat power had already surpassed the shackles of his peers, approaching the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm, and was domineering and boundless.

Since we're going to fight, let's fight with all our might. We'll deal with the rest later!

"You're also at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage?"

Taiyi's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected Chang Wen to have reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm! He was utterly shocked!

No.

He endured a year of hardship in the Sword Tomb, teetering on the brink of death countless times, before finally reaching the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage from the third level. What is Chang Wenwen?

Is this reasonable?

Not only him, but everyone was stunned.

Among the hundreds of millions of cultivators present were many who had participated in the Grand Feast a year ago.

They clearly remembered that Chang Wen's cultivation level was not even at the second level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm back then. How come he directly reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm a year later?

Even outsiders like Yuanzi, Lin Baoding, and Xue Wuqing were completely dumbfounded and incredulous.

"How the hell is this possible?"

Kong Jian couldn't help but curse, glaring at Lin Baoding and shouting angrily, "Lin Baoding, are you sure this kid hasn't been possessed?!"

He simply couldn't believe that Chang Wen's strength had increased so dramatically in just one year!
