Immortal Dao is dead, I am the mastermind behind it all.

"Fellow Daoists, Zheng Quan is at his last gasp! He is nothing to fear!"

"Even if he is a quasi-supreme grandmaster of array formations, after seven days of fierce fighting, he must be exhausted and unable to maintain the operation of the array."

"If we all rush in now, we might just break through the formation and seize the Dao Fruit!"

Gao Sheng's voice echoed throughout the entire Kongsang County.

"That's right, Zheng Quan, the old demon, sought to refine all living beings, colluded with the demon race, and betrayed the Holy Court. His crimes are unforgivable!"

Yanrong Zhenjun echoed this sentiment.

"Fellow Daoists, attack! First, strike the tree crown!"

With a loud shout, countless beams of light, imbued with supernatural power, flashed and shot straight towards the canopy of the Cangwu tree.

Despite being surrounded by a group of True Lords, Zheng Quan remained completely undaunted.

He raised his hand, and countless array plates pierced through the void, appearing behind him.

Thousands upon thousands of array plates were above his head, like an emperor's crown.

The Crown of Arrays is formed by stacking thousands of great arrays, which can be drawn by an array master with a single thought.

Only grandmasters who have reached the quasi-supreme realm can master it.

"Array Crown - Cangwu Dragon Goose Coast".

At his words, thirty-six water dragons burst forth from the sea and began to bite at the True Lords.

"So many Guicang True Monarchs still can't defeat that demon?"

"It's over. The old demon is in front, and the demon race is behind. Langya Prefecture is doomed..."

Just when many cultivators were in despair.

The sky suddenly darkened.

All the monks noticed it.

Shen Moyan, who was far away in Feiguang Prefecture, sat up abruptly.

He came to the paper figure's perspective and stared intently into the distance.

Something seems to be approaching from the horizon.

"Luo Changting!?"

Shen Moyan looked surprised.

This was the first time he had seen Luo Changting like this since he severed his senses.

"The aura emanating from him..."

Needless to say.

Guicang Zhenjun!

How is that possible?!

Shen Moyan was shocked.

On the battlefield, many surviving cultivators took out the Mind-Concentrating Pills given to them by True Monarch Qingmu, and were about to swallow them when they found that the radiant pills in their hands were quickly dimming.

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is in chaos. Has another True Monarch of Gui Cang arrived?"

"Look over there! Who is he?"

In the distance, on the horizon.

He was a man covered in wounds, his eyes bloodshot.

The shadow beneath my feet was a thin, persistent dark mass, as if it could absorb all light.

The tattered robes fluttered in the wind, stretched out endlessly.

He came striding through the air, the vast ocean roaring beneath his feet, utterly helpless against him.

"Such dense malevolent energy! It's even solidified; how many demonic beasts must one have killed to reach this level?"

"I know! There's been talk on the Jiuge website lately that 30% of the demonic beasts in the Ten Thousand Mountains have mysteriously disappeared. Could it be the work of that True Lord?"

The Ten Thousand Mountains were once home to countless demonic beasts, but now only 30% are gone, which shows how terrifying that True Lord was.

"This aura...something's not right!"

"It's demonic energy! He's not a true lord! He's a true demon!"

The cultivators were terrified. With the Demon Suppression Division around, they had never seen a demonic cultivator emerge before.

"Demonic cultivator? You're courting death!"

Yanrong Zhenjun unleashed a fire dragon towards the distance, attempting to drive away this uninvited guest.

However, the fire dragon, powerful enough to devour mountains, passed right through Luo Changting's body without causing him any harm.

"It's the Heavenly Demon Without Materiality! The divine power of the Six Hells Demon Sect!"

Gao Sheng exclaimed in surprise.

It seems he is the target set by the Biyang Sword Sect.

Gao Sheng calmed himself down. There was no rush. He would let that demonic cultivator fight Zheng Quan to see who was better first.

Zheng Quan, standing at the top of the tree canopy, frowned.

There is still a distance to go before I reach the perfect state of the Dao Transformation Realm, and I cannot allow these people with ulterior motives to disturb me.

"Water dragon, emerge!"

Of the thirty-six water dragons, ten turned their heads and rushed towards Luochang Pavilion.

"Karma, attachment."

Zheng Quan made a hand seal, imbuing the water dragon with a faint layer of bloody light, allowing the water dragon to touch the formless Heavenly Demon's body.

Luo Changting slowly and deliberately pulled a black, broken sword from his dantian.

【Heaven-Slaying Candle Nether Sword】

The profound Taoist aura spread out, permeating the entire Langya Prefecture.

The waves throughout Langya Prefecture calmed down.

All the True Lords' gazes were drawn to that black, broken sword.

"True Lord of the Wild Goose Formation, Zheng Quan, you..."

"In pursuit of the Dao Fruit, they disregarded all living beings. They lured demons into the realm, causing widespread grief and destruction. Floods swept through, drowning countless lives..."

His deep voice recounted Zheng Quan's crimes, and the story spread throughout the entire Kongsang County.

"...These kinds of crimes are intolerable to Heaven."

"Today, I, Luo Changting, possess a sword; I invite the world to witness its power!"

Luo Changting bowed.

Draw your sword and strike!

A deep black light flashed, and the ten water dragons instantly evaporated into water vapor.

Throughout Langya Prefecture, all the True Immortals, Great Demons, True Lords, and Demon Kings who were engaged in battle stopped and looked incredulously toward Kongsang County.

That is……

One sword, and the ocean is cleaved!

A vast, watery land was split in two!

Langya Prefecture has been split open, revealing a bottomless abyss.

The ocean surged backward, its vast expanse plunging into the abyss.

…………

The two figures from the Demon Suppression Division were both startled.

"This sword intent..." The demonic sect member hidden in the shadows was greatly shocked.

Sitting upright to one side, Chief Yun took a sip of tea, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Interesting, interesting!"

Chief Yun laughed heartily, but his smile quickly vanished.

"These rubble from the old era dare to show themselves? Aren't they ashamed?"

…………

This sword strike.

Luo Changting accumulated over 5,500 days and nights.

A sword should not be kept hidden for too long, for it will become dull if stored away for too long.

but……

All things return to and are hidden within the Tao.

Gui Zang Dao Yun.

The body becomes the source of the Dao.

He could be a true ruler!

"I've waited eighteen years for this day! I've fought day and night for fifteen years!"

Luo Changting's expression was ferocious.

The emotions that had been hidden in my heart over the years burst forth like a flood.

"Xiao Chan, Father, everyone... wait for me!"

Luo Changting wielded the power of the "Primordial Demon Book" to its fullest extent.

Just as the misty air attracted the attention of the True Lords, he made a move.

He was like a shadow without a physical form.

It also resembles a black fish swimming upstream.

He braved the raging energy turbulence on the outside and cleaved through the defensive light membrane of the formation with a single sword stroke.

"Damn it!"

Zheng Quan panicked for the first time.

They hastily activated the array crown to block Luo Changting's path.

"Fire of Karma! Burn!"

Sweeping across the light of the array crown, Luo Changting's body was ignited, bursting into towering flames.

"Well……"

But he didn't stop, burning as he charged toward the Cangwu tree.

Like a fiery meteor streaking across the sky, the ocean behind its tail evaporated into water vapor.

The surrounding True Lords were all stunned; they had never seen such a reckless person.

The next moment, Luo Changting's figure indeed vanished abruptly.

When it reappeared, it had already reached the top of the Cangwu tree.

"Damn it! It's the Heavenly Demon Without Form!"

Zheng Quan had only stopped his illusory demonic form; Luo Changting's true form had already secretly approached Cangwu!

The karmic fire burned fiercely on Luo Changting's body.

At this moment.

He was close to the "Transformation Dao Fruit" that was about to ripen and fall.

It was less than ten feet away.

The dark sword energy of the [Heaven-Slaying Candle Sword] in his hand flowed silently.

He raised his gaze and calmly looked at the incomparably tempting Dao Fruit.

"madman!"

Shen Moyan was shocked by Luo Changting's fearless behavior.

Several years later, Shen Moyan used his six senses, like a firefly, to peer into Luo Changting's heart.

"Damn it!"

Shen Moyan cursed and immediately contacted Gao Sheng, ordering him to take action.

He miscalculated; Luo Changting never intended to break the Dao Fruit restriction using the Heavenly Demon Ritual.

He wanted to eat the Dao Fruit directly!

It's like swallowing a thorny fruit without peeling it!
