instantly,

The grand formation shifted, and a beam of profound light shot straight into the sky, causing a dramatic change in the world. The wind and clouds surged, and the spiritual energy within a radius of tens of thousands of miles was drawn into the grand formation.

Those mysterious Taoist runes were filled with supreme power, and the laws flowed within them.

At this moment, the great formation had already drawn upon the power of the entire human realm, and this immense power was concentrated on the various sect leaders and elders, causing their cultivation to surge dramatically and allowing them to transcend the realm of ascension.

Not only that, the sect leaders and elders then formed another smaller formation within the main array.

In the blink of an eye, the power of the Longhu Mountain Sect Leader increased to another level with the enhancement of the small array.

At this time, the sect leader of Longhu Mountain had already reached an extremely high level of cultivation. His imposing presence commanded awe throughout the entire human world. The current sect leader of Longhu Mountain was like a true god descending to earth.

Without further ado, the leader of Longhu Mountain attacked Lin Jiu directly.

There was no turning back now. Under no circumstances could Lin Jiu be allowed to break the seal between the Heavenly and Human Realms. At the same time, acting quickly was also to prevent Lu Chuan from having a chance to make a move.

The attack from the Longhu Mountain sect leader was truly extraordinary, showcasing the pinnacle of Taoist supernatural powers. Faintly, a massive Tai Chi diagram appeared between heaven and earth.

The Tai Chi symbol swirled, imbuing him with the power of Yin and Yang principles, and he harbored a mindset of delivering a fatal blow.

Yin and Yang energies surrounded his body, indicating he had attained Taoist supernatural powers, but Lin Jiu paid no attention to this at all.

A faint golden light surrounded him, and his power surged. He broke free from the yin and yang energies and threw a punch at the faintly visible Tai Chi diagram.

A brief clash,

A sound like shattering glass was heard.

Immediately afterwards, the Tai Chi diagram dissipated.

Seeing this,

The expressions of the sect leaders and elders immediately changed. Compared to the disciples, they understood far better the immense power contained within the Tai Chi diagram—the Dao of Yin and Yang, and all the supernatural abilities of Taoism.

Such methods failed to suppress Lin Jiu in one move as expected, but were instead shattered by Lin Jiu's punch, which was absolutely unexpected.

this……!

They had already used all their last tricks. The current leader of Longhu Mountain was far beyond the Ascension Realm, but even so, he still couldn't withstand a single move from the other party.

Just how high has Lin Jiu's cultivation level reached?

Where is Lu Chuan?!

If Lin Jiu's cultivation level is already terrifying to this extent, then how terrifying must Lu Chuan's cultivation level be!

No wonder!

No wonder Lu Chuan hasn't made a move yet; he clearly has a lot of confidence in Lin Jiu, believing that their cultivation levels are insufficient to harm him in the slightest.

Could it be... that they can really resolve the calamity in the upper realm!?

No!

Absolutely not!

Back then, Dao Ancestor Lü Zi was the strongest being in the Upper Realm. There was no one stronger than him in the entire world. Yet even Dao Ancestor couldn't resolve the calamity of that time. How could they possibly do it?!

The answer is definitely impossible!

Such a scene naturally shook the resolve of the disciples of various sects.

They worked together to set up an array, and the sect leaders and elders set up smaller arrays on the basis of the main array, but they still couldn't do anything to Lin Jiu!

That shouldn't be the case!

Just how terrifying is Lin Jiu's cultivation level? And what about Lu Chuan?! How terrifying is Lu Chuan?

For a moment, their eyes were filled with deep awe as they looked at Lu Chuan!

Lin Jiu is Lu Chuan's disciple. Lin Jiu is already invincible in the mortal world. If Lu Chuan were to make a move, wouldn't this formation be a joke in his hands? He could break it with ease!

It’s over!

This is going to be a disaster for the entire Taoist sect; they're no match for them at all!

wrong!

To be precise, the entire human world is going to suffer. Just as the various sect leaders said, once the seal is broken, it will be the end of the world.

"Is there any need to fight again? It's unnecessary!" Lin Jiu said with a faint smile.

The expressions of the various sect leaders changed slightly. Indeed, there was no need to continue fighting; it was better to save their energy.

"The seal must never be opened, otherwise the human world will become a hell, causing all living beings in the world to die. Where is the compassion of cultivators?! What kind of karma will you bear?!" The headmaster of Longhu Mountain declared loudly.

Whether the living beings in the world are alive or not is not important, but under such a disaster, they cannot remain unaffected. They have also become part of the living beings in the world, and they must stop Lin Jiu no matter what.

"I told you, with me here, even if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. What's there to be afraid of!" Lin Jiu said indifferently.

"If you insist on this, it would be better to kill us all now, so as to avoid experiencing such a horrific scene, watching all living beings in the world perish, and turning yourself into a monster!" said the sect leader of Longhu Mountain.

Upon hearing this,

Lin Jiu decisively said, "No! You can't die now. If you all die, who am I supposed to show off to? How am I supposed to perform in front of others? This whole thing will just look like a failed performance!"

To all sect leaders: ? ? ?

The elders: "..."

Disciples: ⊙﹏⊙?!

Do you want to hear what you're saying?

Are we kept around just to show off in front of others and make our pretense a perfect success?

Is this even human language?!

Furthermore, under such a disaster, are you sure you can put on a show in front of others and keep up the act, instead of being slapped in the face by the stark reality?

What I'm saying is...aren't you going a bit too far?

Before they could say anything,

A sudden change occurred in the heavens; the sun and moon dimmed abruptly, and an immense pressure descended from the sky, making it difficult for mortals to breathe.

At the same time, a strange beam of light fell from the sky, followed by a shattering sound.

It's broken!

The seal between the celestial and mortal realms has actually shattered.

this!

In an instant, all the sect leaders' eyes were focused on Lin Jiu.

Seeing this, Lin Jiu said calmly, "Why are you all looking at me? I didn't open it; it broke on its own, or rather, something above smashed it!"

Upon hearing this,

Everyone's expressions turned solemn. Just as Lin Jiu had said, the seal had been shattered by the forces from the upper realm.

It’s over!

There's really no way out now!

However, upon further reflection, hope flickered in everyone's eyes, and they all looked at Lin Jiu.

Just now, Lin Jiu was about to break the seal and perform a miracle in front of everyone!

elder brother!

father!

grandfather!

Now is your chance to shine in front of everyone! We were the ones who looked down on you just now!

They now place all their hopes on Lin Jiu, hoping he's not just bragging.

It's not just Lin Jiu; Lin Jiu alone is definitely not enough. There's also Lu Chuan. With Lu Chuan included, there might still be hope.

After all, someone who dares to break the seal must have some means to do so; otherwise, where would their confidence come from?

The sect leader of Longhu Mountain suddenly looked at Lin Jiu with a beaming smile and said, "Young Master, now is your chance to show your prowess in front of others. We will definitely watch closely, and if you need anything, we are willing to do our best to help you!"

Not only the sect leader of Longhu Mountain, but the other sect leaders and elders also changed their expressions very quickly.

At that very moment,

The seal was completely shattered, and a vast evil aura descended, shrouding the entire sky in darkness. The black water from the mouth of the Longhu Mountain sect leader was about to pour down.
