Konoha: On the night of the massacre, I summoned Inuyasha.

They saw a sky full of blood-red clouds and a giant hand reaching for the sky, which suddenly invaded the root system world.

Blood clouds eroded the roots of countless divine trees.

The giant palm obliterated the divine tree organization within a radius of dozens of miles.

Clearly, the world shrouded by the Infinite Tsukuyomi was not as dangerous as the Soul Emperor had imagined.

Even the old patriarch of the Dan Tower was still struggling against the frenzied attacks of the divine tree's roots.

However, the Soul Emperor was too wary of the pale moon that covered the eight regions, which prevented him from daring to enter the area covered by the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

"It's almost there. I feel like I'm not far from reaching the Dou Di realm..."

However, without Origin Qi, I wonder how my status as a Dou Di who proved his Dao through "force" will differ from Xiao Yan's in the original timeline, who proved his Dao through a different fire, and from the Soul Emperor who proved his Dao by consuming an Emperor Pill?

As Yue felt the rapidly expanding power within her body, a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes.

He had not actually collected all twenty-two different flames, and his strength before unleashing Infinite Tsukuyomi was only that of a three-star Dou Sheng.

After all, most of the top-tier strange flames are actually in the hands of the eight ancient clans.

For example, the Ancient Clan's Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, the Soul Clan's Void Devouring Flame, the Medicine Clan's Nine Nether Wind Flame and Turtle Spirit Earth Fire, the Flame Clan's Eight Desolate Destruction Flame, Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Flame, Red Lotus Karmic Flame, Fire Cloud Water Flame, Volcanic Stone Flame...

Therefore, once Yue felt that her strength was sufficient, she directly started planting divine trees in the eight domains, spreading and devouring the eight domains to increase her strength, and finally facing the eight ancient families of Zhongzhou!

"Now, the eyes of the eight ancient clans have been drawn to the border between the Central Plains and the Southern Region. This is the best opportunity for me to use Infinite Tsukuyomi to directly swallow up the Central Plains from their rear."

"Perhaps I won't even need to completely cover the entire Central Continent before I can become a Dou Di!"

As Yue felt her body approaching its limits, the excitement in her eyes intensified.

He replaced the position of the divine tree fruit with himself, directly absorbing the power of heaven and earth of the Dou Qi Continent itself, which had been refined by the divine tree, as well as the Dou Qi of all Dou Qi cultivators on the entire Dou Qi Continent.

The sheer amount of Dou Qi required to achieve the title of Dou Di far surpasses Xiao Yan's advancement through a different kind of fire, and even exceeds the advancement through taking pills by the Soul Emperor.

However, the quality of Dou Qi of a Dou Di might be inferior to that of Xiao Yan at that time.

"First ascend to the Dou Di realm, then go for pure Dou Qi."

At least, I haven't collected all the different flames yet; most of them will be obtained in the upcoming battles.

At that time, my power will be further enhanced, and my essence will achieve a further leap forward.

Moreover, on the Dou Qi Continent, there exist even more advanced Great Thousand Worlds, where the spiritual energy surpasses that of Dou Qi.

The moon slowly closed its eyes.

Within the eight regions, pale stars began to move slowly.

The pale moonlight suddenly swept from the other seven domains outside the Southern Domain towards the Central Continent.

The invasion of Zhongzhou from the Southern Region was intended to attract the attention of the eight ancient clans and prepare for the invasion of Zhongzhou from the other seven regions.

Even though the eight ancient clans were wary of the other seven domains, when Yue got serious, anyone below the Dou Sheng level would instantly fall into an illusion under the light of Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Above the Dou Sheng level, as long as Yue cooperates with the Divine Tree to target them, even those below the high-level Dou Sheng level will be restrained by the illusion of Infinite Tsukuyomi and defeated by the power of the Divine Tree in a short period of time.

They were tied to the sacred tree and became mummified puppet batteries.

...........................

"Ok?"

In the sky, the Soul Emperor, who was still pondering how to break the illusion, suddenly changed his expression.

"Damn it, the illusions in the other seven domains are also starting to expand."

On the ground, Gu Yuan and the others, who were originally retreating rapidly towards Zhongzhou and maintaining their distance from the illusion, also changed color abruptly.

Clearly, they have some kind of channel to receive news from thousands of miles away.

"Damn it, this place was just bait to lure us in."

The master of that pale moon aims to invade the Central Plains simultaneously from all eight regions!

Lei Ying was furious, and terrifying thunder immediately triggered celestial phenomena. Dark clouds gathered, a cold wind blew, and the sky fell into the gloom before the storm.

"We've had our suspicions for a while now, haven't we?"

Gu Yuan, however, remained indifferent.

The ancestral territories of the eight ancient clans are all within the small world, so even if the Central Plains falls for a while, it will not affect the eight ancient clans.

That's why they turned the tables and pooled all their forces together to avoid being defeated one by one by Yue.

Little did they know that this was exactly what the moon wanted.

Otherwise, if the eight ancient clans were to split up and rush into the Infinite Tsukuyomi from the eight domains, it might cause great trouble for the moon's plan to surround and invade the Central Plains from the eight domains.

On the contrary, this arrangement, with everyone on the edge of the Southern Domain, conveniently facilitates invasions from the other seven domains.

The true form of the moon, however, is always in the Northwest Region...

"Everyone, let's attack together."

I don't believe that the master of this pale moon is a Dou Di!

Otherwise, even a peak nine-star Dou Sheng would be forced to retreat in defeat under our combined efforts.

In the sky, the Soul Emperor retreated rapidly and spoke in a deep voice to Gu Yuan and the others.

"This is the only way."

Gu Yuan nodded without hesitation.

The leaders of the other eight ancient clans, and even the leaders of the One Palace, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Directions Pavilion, also nodded solemnly.

"Therefore, those below the level of Dou Sheng should not enter."

The other Dou Sheng fellow cultivators, together with us, should weigh the true nature of that pale moon.

Gu Yuan let out a loud whistle and was the first to face the pale moon.

His words immediately caused the expressions of most of the members of the One Hall, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Directions Pavilion to change.

They were just making up their minds to risk their lives to dedicate themselves to the Dou Qi Continent.

Are you being disliked now?

But soon, most of them showed a hint of relief in their eyes. Oh well, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.

Rather than becoming cannon fodder, it's better to keep your body useful and wait and see.

Dozens of figures, in a grand procession, carrying a terrifying aura that even the sky seemed to retreat from, their bodies shrouded in powerful battle qi, crashed into the pale, bright world that greeted them.

As soon as they entered, the pale moonlight fell upon them, and everyone suddenly felt a tremor in their minds, a drowsy feeling enveloping their hearts.

At the same time, a terrifying sonic boom was rapidly approaching.

The overwhelming shadows surged violently, creating ripples in the void.

"Give it to me, and I'll refund you!"

Gu Yuan roared, his fingers forming a hand seal that transformed into a giant palm of fighting spirit that blasted everything that came his way.

Suddenly, the view opened up completely, leaving nothing to see.

But what he saw made Gu Yuan's pupils shrink suddenly.

Countless roots of the divine tree occupied the entire land, moving and twisting, filling the vision of those who entered, attempting to seize the land reaching towards the sky.

They launched a violent attack in their direction.

It was as if a monstrous python had struck.

Sky?

Gu Yuan looked up at the sky again, searching for the pale moon.

It's just different from how it appears from the outside.

The pale moon, which appeared to be only a short distance away from them from the outside, was actually thousands of miles away in the sky.

It radiates a cold, pale light, and the area enveloped by this light is where the roots of the monstrous tree intertwine and rush towards.

That is the area shrouded in illusion.

Clearly, everything that the outside world sees is nothing but an illusion.

It was to conceal the true location of the Pale Moon and prevent it from being destroyed from outside the illusion.

"Don't look at that pale moon!"

Suddenly, Gu Yue shouted loudly.

Even with his level of cultivation, looking at the pale moon a few more times made him feel dizzy, as if he were being pulled into an illusion.

Its power is ten or a hundred times stronger than that of being merely exposed to moonlight.

This was still because his ancient soul realm was profound.

However, Gu Yuan was overthinking it.

Aside from his own confidence in his absolute strength as a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, even Soul Emperor, who was also a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, hid himself after entering and refused to look at the pale moon.

He was much more cautious than Gu Yuan.

Let others analyze the pale moon first.

After all, that moon could very well be the source of everything.

"Brother Gu!"

"Let's work together and destroy that moon first!"

At this moment, the Soul Emperor suddenly let out a low shout, and his entire body tore through space, instantly arriving beneath the Pale Moon.

Instantly, a strong sense of dizziness swept over him from the white light, causing the Soul Emperor to change color.

The closer one gets to the Pale Moon, the stronger the illusion becomes.

"Get out of my way!"

The Soul Emperor suddenly waved his hand at the earth, and the violent crimson energy transformed into a terrifying river of blood, directly annihilating the countless roots and branches that attacked from the earth.

Even now, the divine tree is approaching the level of a Dou Di (Battle Emperor).

However, the divine tree here is only a part of the tree trunk and root system that spreads throughout the entire Eight Domains. Faced with the attack of a nine-star Dou Sheng like the Soul Emperor.
