One ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍of the demonic cultivators coldly shouted as he raised a hand. A streak of black blade-light slashed directly toward Lu Yunzhou.

Yet ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍in the next moment, a voice echoed throughout heaven and earth.

“Between ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Heaven and Earth exists righteous qi, vast and diverse as it takes form in all things. Below, it becomes rivers and mountains; above, it becomes the sun and stars.”

The ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍voice rang like a great bell of heaven, each word crashing heavily upon the souls of every demonic cultivator.

All ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍demonic cultivators, regardless of cultivation level or distance, simultaneously let out muffled groans at that instant. Their knees weakened as they crashed to the ground.

Some tried struggling, only to discover that their spiritual power had frozen solid, unable to circulate in the slightest.

Others wished to raise their heads and see exactly which supreme figure had appeared, only to find their necks rigid as iron, unable to move even a single finger.

The speaker was none other than Nether Soul, who resided within the Azure Wave Sect of the Eastern Continent in the Spirit Realm.

His intervention today naturally was not a whim.

Recently, the Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign had been abducting rogue cultivators and righteous path sect disciples on a massive scale, causing an enormous disturbance. Nether Soul had been observing the matter all along.

Originally, he intended to ignore it as long as the other party did not go too far.

But today, with a sweep of his divine sense, he discovered that the other side intended to blood sacrifice tens of thousands of cultivators.

That was no longer something he could sit by and watch.

He immediately reported the matter to his main body, Gu Yan, through divine intent and asked how it should be handled.

Gu Yan’s answer was extremely simple:

Prevent them from succeeding. If necessary, the Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign could be exterminated.

Previously, Gu Yan instructed Nether Soul to casually curse the Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign from time to time because he did not want the other party to die too quickly.

After all, that fellow was a chess piece of an old Immortal King devil from the Immortal Realm. If he simply died, the other side would arrange a new chess piece, requiring effort to locate once again. It would be extremely troublesome.

But now the situation had changed.

The other side intended to blood sacrifice tens of thousands of cultivators. There was no need to think deeply to know that this was the demand of the Great Demon Sovereign behind him.

Although it remained unclear exactly what the other side was plotting—

Since it was something the Great Demon Sovereign wished to accomplish, then stopping it was enough.

As for allowing Nether Soul to kill Heaven Burning, it was highly likely that after this incident, the Great Demon Sovereign would abandon Heaven Burning as a chess piece anyway.

Rather than leaving him alive to continue harming others, it was better to erase him cleanly.

Somewhere within the Immortal Realm, the Primordial Infinite World-Ending Heavenly Execution Great Demon Sovereign sat within a grand hall, his expression gloomy as dark waters.

Naturally, he sensed that the streak of black light he sent had been shattered, and he also sensed the Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign frantically pleading for rescue.

But he did not respond.

The force that shattered the black light, the cursed power, and now this vast righteous aura descending from the Spirit Realm—

All pointed toward the same truth.

The person acting was an Immortal King Realm mighty figure challenging him directly.

But who could it be?

During the Immortal King Assembly one million years ago, everyone had clearly agreed.

A great heavenly and earthly tribulation was approaching. Each party would establish arrangements within the middle worlds. Although competition between them was acceptable, things could not go too far, nor could they directly kill one another’s chess pieces.

At the time, every Immortal King in the Immortal Realm had acknowledged that pact.

There was even Heavenly Dao as witness.

Whoever violated it would become the enemy of all Immortal Kings.

Could it be that a new Immortal King had been born and simply did not know the rules?

But since then, no Golden Immortal had ascended into the Immortal King Realm.

The Primordial Infinite World-Ending Heavenly Execution Great Demon Sovereign carefully considered every possible candidate.

None fit.

A thought arose within his heart.

Could it be Ning Daoxuan of the Kunlun Sect?

No.

It could not be him.

That man’s combat strength was terrifying beyond compare, yet his methods had always been upright and honorable. He disdained using methods like curses.

Moreover, if Ning Daoxuan truly wanted to touch his chess piece, he could simply do so openly. There was no need for such hidden maneuvering.

The Great Demon Sovereign sighed and muttered to himself:

“As expected, the great heavenly tribulation is approaching. Strange events are becoming increasingly numerous.”

He shook his head and proactively severed the final strand of connection linking him to the Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign.

This chess piece was ruined.

Rather than wasting further effort rescuing him, it would be better to arrange another one.

In any case, he still possessed other arrangements within the Southern Region of the Demon Realm.

......

As for the Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign—

He truly suffered terribly.

Within his heart, he screamed countless times for his master to save him, yet that voice he had always relied upon never sounded again.

He panicked.

He became afraid.

The dignified lord of the Northern Plains, an existence at the peak of Tribulation Crossing, now resembled an abandoned child curled upon the ground trembling violently.

He knew that he had most likely been abandoned.

“AHHH!”

The Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign suddenly raised his head toward the heavens and roared furiously, his eyes blood-red while his face twisted beyond recognition.

He wanted to kill.

He wanted to slaughter everyone here.

Those righteous path cultivators.

Those rogue cultivators.

Those ants watching him as a joke.

Not a single one would remain alive!

Ten thousand years ago, how high-spirited had he once been?

The Heaven Burning Demon Dynasty ruled over both the Central Lands and Eastern Continent. With a single command, countless answered. The entire Spirit Realm trembled beneath his feet.

But now?

He had become another person’s chess piece.

A dog summoned at will and discarded at will.

Everything he possessed—his cultivation, his status, his power—had all been planned out by someone else.

He believed himself standing atop the peak, never realizing that peak was merely a line drawn by another.

He did not even know why he inexplicably fell into slumber all those years ago, sleeping for ten thousand years.

Now that he thought about it, that too was likely the arrangement of that master.

He could not accept any of this.

In truth, the Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign had long since gone insane.

From the very day he learned there was still a master above his head, he had already gone mad.

The Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign let out a roar as the demonic flames around him suddenly exploded upward, preparing to charge toward the righteous path cultivators atop the formation platform.

Yet just as he raised his hand, that voice which had echoed through heaven and earth earlier sounded once more.

This time, the voice was even heavier and deeper than before, every word resembling heavenly thunder crashing down from the Ninth Heaven.

“Heaven Burning has brought calamity upon the Spirit Realm and slaughtered living beings. His crimes deserve execution. Today, both his body and soul shall be extinguished, and his demonic followers eradicated.”

The divine ability Nether Soul currently wielded was precisely 《Great Luo Heaven Five Elements Heavenly Mandate Divine Curse》.

Previously, whenever he used this curse art, he had never gone all out.

First, there had been no need.

Second, his main body instructed him not to curse the Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign to death immediately.

But now that his main body had given permission, he no longer held back.

The moment the words fell, the heavens and earth of the Spirit Realm transformed drastically.

From the direction of the Eastern Continent, a beam of white light shot into the sky and pierced the heavens.

Within that white light, the circulation of the Five Elements and the alternation of Yin and Yang could faintly be seen. At this instant, all the power of the laws between heaven and earth was drawn forth and gathered together into an immeasurable force.

The color of the Spirit Realm’s sky changed.

No longer was it a clear blue heaven.

Instead, it transformed into an endless expanse of white.

That white was neither cloud nor mist, but rather an indescribable vast righteous aura that filled heaven and earth, existing everywhere at once.

Above the Northern Plains, that force descended first.

Every demonic cultivator kneeling upon the ground, from Golden Core to Integration Realm, from Integration Realm to Mahayana Realm, began shattering inch by inch as though crushed beneath an invisible millstone.

They did not even have time to release a single scream before turning into ashes scattered by the wind.

The Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign stood atop the formation platform, helplessly watching his subordinates vanish one after another.

He wished to resist, only to discover that his spiritual power, soul, and body had all been suppressed completely by that force.

He could only stand there, feeling his body gradually turn into ashes beginning from his feet.

He lowered his head and watched his feet disappear.

Then his calves.

Then his knees.

There was no pain.

The Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign’s gaze landed upon the righteous path cultivators atop the formation platform. His lips trembled slightly as though he wished to say something.

Yet no words emerged.

In the next moment, his entire body transformed into flying ash and vanished between heaven and earth.

Silence blanketed the formation platform.

The tens of thousands of righteous path cultivators and rogue cultivators stood there blankly, staring at the scene before them, unable to recover for a very long time.

That Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign who tormented them for years, who made life worse than death for them—

That peak Tribulation Crossing lord of the Northern Plains—

Had simply… disappeared?

Like a firecracker going off. Gone just like that?

After a long silence, someone finally spoke.

“Th-This… which mighty figure acted?”

“Words becoming law and exterminating a peak Tribulation Crossing expert… what realm must that be?”

“An immortal! It must be an immortal! Only immortals possess such methods!”

“No, even immortals shouldn’t be able to interfere in Spirit Realm affairs from the Immortal Realm, right? What level of immortal would that require?”

“Who cares what level? They’re our savior anyway! My life, Liu Laosan’s life, has been picked back up!”

“Exactly. I originally believed today would undoubtedly be my death day. Who would’ve expected such a reversal?”

“Do you think this mighty figure has always been watching over the Spirit Realm? Otherwise, how could they intervene at such a perfect moment?”

“Who knows? But once news of today spreads, the entire Spirit Realm is probably going to shake.”

The crowd erupted into discussion. Some were astonished, some emotional.

Others had already begun considering how to explain matters after returning to their sects.

Yet among the crowd, a very small number of people did not join the commotion.

They were all Integration Realm and Mahayana Realm cultivators, possessing profound cultivation and broad experience.

That voice earlier—

The more they listened, the more familiar it sounded.

It resembled the mysterious mighty figure from the Eastern Continent… the one who exterminated the Bull Demon King.

But none of them spoke openly.

For example, Lu Yunzhou.

Earlier, he had cursed the Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign the loudest. Yet now, he tightly shut his mouth without uttering a single extra word.

Although his mouth was sharp, inwardly he understood clearly which words could be spoken and which might bring trouble upon himself.

There were not few people like him who recognized the voice.

After exchanging glances with one another, none spoke aloud. Instead, they quickly turned and departed in different directions.

All of them understood one thing clearly.

Some matters were best simply known.

Speaking them aloud was not necessarily a good thing.

As for the low-level rogue cultivators, they cared nothing for any of that.

Golden Core cultivators, Nascent Soul cultivators, and even several Foundation Establishment cultivators were currently squatting upon the ground, rummaging through the storage bags left behind by the demonic cultivators.

The demonic cultivators were all dead, reduced to ashes—

But the storage bags still remained.
