Behind the Hall of Reincarnation lies a void, separate from all other spaces.

In the center of this void, an ancient altar is suspended, supported by ninety-nine coiled dragon stone pillars.

On the altar.

A bead the size of a fist, pitch black in color, yet seemingly containing the birth and death of countless stars, floated quietly.

Yellow Springs Heavenly Bead!

This is a mysterious crystal that spewed out from the Gate of Immortality and was refined into a treasure by the Yellow Springs Emperor and the Reincarnation Daoist.

Zhao Feng appeared before the altar.

The moment he appeared, the previously dormant Yellow Spring Heavenly Pearl suddenly burst forth with a jet-black light.

A power of reincarnation, a hundred times more terrifying than the Eye of the End of Dharma, transformed into a pitch-black vortex and swept towards Zhao Feng.

This power is enough to drag even true immortals into endless reincarnation and obliterate all their Dao fruits.

Zhao Feng ignored this.

He reached out and plunged his hand into the dark vortex.

His hands were fair and slender.

No magic was used.

Yet it seemed to be the most indestructible divine object in the world.

That power of reincarnation, powerful enough to obliterate even a true immortal, melted away silently the moment it touched his skin.

He easily passed through the blockade of the vortex of reincarnation and grasped the Yellow Spring Heavenly Pearl in his hand.

Buzz!

The Yellow Spring Heavenly Pearl trembled violently, as if it wanted to resist.

Zhao Feng applied slight pressure with his five fingers.

Click.

A soft, faint sound came from inside the Heavenly Bead; it was the will of the Yellow Spring Emperor and the Reincarnation Daoist that remained within it being forcibly crushed.

The Yellow Spring Heavenly Pearl instantly quieted down and lay obediently in his palm.

After doing all this, Zhao Feng turned around, took a step, and returned to the Samsara Palace.

His gaze swept over the enormous Wheel of Reincarnation on the ground.

"receive."

He waved his sleeve.

Boom!

The entire Samsara Palace shook violently. The huge stone disc on the ground, engraved with the general outline of the Great Samsara Technique, along with the earth veins connected to it below, was uprooted by him and directly stored in his sleeve universe.

Without its core, the entire Law Corridor began to become unstable.

The concrete fragments of the laws began to become illusory, and could collapse at any moment.

The group, who were deep in meditation, were awakened by this sudden turn of events.

"What's going on? The laws are about to collapse!"

"Hurry! Time is running out!"

Everyone was desperately trying to grasp as much of the mysteries of the laws as possible in the remaining time.

Fang Han was also startled awake from his meditation.

He looked at the laws of time and space around him, which were beginning to blur, and his heart was filled with resentment.

If Hua Tiandu hadn't been constantly bothering him, his gains this time would have been much greater!

Just then.

Hua Tiandu, accompanied by several trusted men, strolled over unhurriedly. "Hey, Junior Brother Fang, judging by your sweaty appearance, you must have had quite a haul, right?"

Fang Han clenched his fists, suppressing his anger, and ignored him.

"What? Have you lost your tongue?" Hua Tiandu sneered. "You think you can rise to the top overnight just because you've gained the sect leader's favor? A piece of trash is still a piece of trash. No matter how great the opportunity is, you won't be able to seize it."

"Hua Tiandu, don't go too far!" Fang Han finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Excessive?" Hua Tiandu seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "I am excessive, so what can you do? Go and complain to the sect leader?"

He leaned closer to Fang Han and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You think you can rest easy just because the sect leader values ​​you? I've got you figured out!"

Fang Han's heart trembled violently, and his face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Time's up."

Just then, Zhao Feng's voice rang in everyone's ears.

Immediately afterwards.

An irresistible force swept in, teleporting everyone in the Law Corridor out.

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes.

When they reappeared, they had returned to the underworld treasury, which had been mostly emptied.

When they finally saw the full extent of the treasure vault, everyone gasped in astonishment.

It's empty!

It's completely empty!

Zhao Feng had only moved half of the property previously.

Now, all the remaining pills, magical treasures, and materials, along with the magic crystals and pure yang crystals that filled the treasure vault, have all disappeared!

The entire underworld treasure vault was reduced to a bare, enormous pit, not a single hair remaining.

"This...this..."

Ying Xiantian watched this scene, his eyes twitching wildly.

According to the agreement, the demonic path should have received 30%, but judging from the current situation, they won't even get a hair's breadth, let alone 30%.

The other powerful figures from both the immortal and demonic paths were also stunned.

They've seen ruthless people, but never anyone this ruthless.

This is like a locust swarm passing through, leaving the ground bare!

Only Hua Tiandu had an expression of "I knew it" on his face, and his eyes were full of pity as he looked at Fang Han.

The value of the bait has been almost completely squeezed out.

Zhao Feng appeared before everyone.

He glanced at the crowd with their varied expressions, and finally his gaze settled on Fang Han.

"Fang Han".

"Disciple is here!" Fang Han's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward.

"You have rendered meritorious service in opening the treasure vault. As I promised before, you may choose any three items from the treasure vault, plus a top-grade Dao artifact."

Zhao Feng flicked his finger, and three dazzling treasures flew to Fang Han's front.

A long sword wreathed in endless sword energy.

A piece of armor exuding a heavy aura.

There was also a jade bottle filled with golden elixirs.

"These three items are the top-grade Dao artifact 'Five Mountains Suppressing Spirit Blade', the top-grade Dao artifact 'Mulberry Emperor Giant Wood Hammer', the top-grade Dao artifact 'Immortal Slaying Heaven-Slaying Sword', and a bottle of 'Pure Yang Golden Pill'."

Fang Han was completely stunned.

He thought he would be used and then discarded, but now...

This reward.

It was more than ten times more generous than he had expected!

"Thank you so much for the reward, Alliance Leader!" Fang Han was so excited that he couldn't speak coherently, and he quickly put away the four treasures.

Ying Xiantian, Su Xiuyi, and the others were so envious that their eyes turned red.

Three top-grade Dao artifacts!

This is an enormous investment!

Zhao Feng ignored everyone's reactions and spoke again.

"As for you."

His gaze swept over the demonic giants such as Ying Xiantian.

"I always keep my word."

Zhao Feng flicked his finger again, and dozens of streaks of light flew towards the demonic cultivators. "These are the compensation I bestow upon you."

Ying Xiantian and the others hurriedly caught the flowing light, and upon closer inspection, their breathing became rapid.

What flew towards them were all Dao artifacts!

Although the quality of the items given to Fang Han is not as good, the quantity is greater!

Almost every high-ranking member of the Demon Sect has one!

"Thank you, Alliance Leader!"

"Thank you, Alliance Leader!"

The members of the demonic path were overjoyed and bowed down in unison. Any resentment they had harbored before had long since vanished.

If you have the right tool, who cares about the 30% percentage?

Zhao Feng looked at the obedient crowd and nodded in satisfaction.

The carrot and stick approach is always the most effective method.

"All troops, listen to my command!"

"Return to the Immortal Mountain!"

...

The Xuanhuang Immortal Alliance's massive fleet returned laden with spoils.

They arrived with murderous intent, but upon their departure, the atmosphere became somewhat subtle.

In particular, the disciples of the Immortal Path and the Demonic Path, although in the same fleet, were clearly separated, and each carried a sense of vigilance and hostility towards the other.

but.

When their gaze occasionally swept across the top of the flagship, to that figure in pristine white, all their hostility and vigilance would transform into the same emotion.

Reverence.

Upon returning to the Feathered Immortal Mountain, Zhao Feng did not disband the fleet. Instead, he directly summoned all the high-ranking members of both the Immortal and Demonic paths who were at or above the Longevity Realm in the plaza in front of the Feathered Heavenly Palace.

Linglong Immortal Venerable, Ying Xiantian, Su Xiuyi, the leader of the Tongtian Sword Sect...

The most elite group of people in the Xuanhuang Great World have all gathered here.

This time, even the leaders of several major immortal sects who had remained neutral and secretly observed the situation after Taiyi Sect was driven away received the imperial decree and rushed over tremblingly.

Inside the main hall of the Feathered Heaven Palace, the atmosphere was solemn and dignified.

Zhao Feng sat high on the throne of the alliance leader, looking down at the crowd below with their various expressions.

"I have gathered you all here today to announce two important matters."

Everyone held their breath, waiting for what would happen next.

"The first thing is about the Protoss."

Protoss?

Upon hearing this unfamiliar term, most people looked puzzled.

Only Linglong Immortal Venerable, and a few other old-timers such as Ying Xiantian and Su Xiuyi, had their expressions change instantly.

"Alliance Leader, is the god race you mentioned the legendary one that makes a living by plundering all the heavens and myriad realms?" Linglong Immortal Venerable's voice trembled slightly.

As soon as Linglong uttered those words, everyone present was astonished.

Plundering all the heavens and myriad realms?

What a terrifying race!

“Indeed.” Zhao Feng nodded. “I have deduced the secrets of heaven and discovered that within ten years at most, the army of the gods will descend upon my Xuanhuang Great World.”

"At that time, the whole world will be devastated and turned into a pasture for the gods."

boom!

This news exploded in everyone's minds.

"This...this is impossible!"

"Gods! Aren't they just legends that exist only in the oldest books?"

"It will arrive within ten years?"

Inside the main hall, an uproar erupted.

Everyone's face was filled with disbelief.

Even the powerful figures of the demonic path who had just submitted and were still thinking about how to outwardly comply but inwardly defy them were now feeling a chill in their hearts.

If the great calamity of the gods truly descends, all notions of immortality and demonism, of grudges and affections, will lose their meaning.

Faced with such a cataclysmic natural disaster, they were all just lambs to the slaughter.

"Alliance Leader, is this matter... absolutely true?" The leader of the Tongtian Sword Sect asked in a hoarse voice.

All eyes were on Zhao Feng, hoping to get a negative answer from him.

However.

Zhao Feng simply said calmly, "I never lie."

Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.

"There is no need for you to panic."

Just then, Zhao Feng's voice rang out again.

"The reason I established the Immortal Alliance and integrated the Immortal and Demonic Paths is to deal with this calamity."

"Although the gods are strong, my Xuanhuang Great World is not without the power to fight back."

"As long as we work together and obey my orders, we may be able to overcome this calamity."

His words were like a shot of adrenaline, calming the anxious hearts of everyone in the hall.

yes.

They now have a leader whose power is beyond imagination.

Even the True Immortal Ancestor of the Taiyi Sect, who held the Heavenly Immortal Edict, was swatted away by him like a fly.

Perhaps he really does have a way to fight against the gods.

Seeing the renewed hope on everyone's faces, Zhao Feng continued to speak.

"To repel external aggression, one must first secure internal stability."

"This is the second thing I wish to announce."

"The Taiyi Sect has defied the heavens, committed treason, and obstructed the grand plan of the Immortal Alliance. Their crimes deserve to be punished."

"I have decided that three days from now, I will personally lead the Immortal Alliance army to raze the Taiyi Sect to the ground as a warning to others."

"Gentlemen, does anyone have any objections?"

Everyone was startled again.

To raze Taiyi Sect to the ground?

That is the number one sect of immortals in the Xuanhuang Great World, which has been passed down for countless years!

Although Taihuangtian was driven away before.

But everyone knows that the Taiyi Sect's foundation is unfathomable.

The Taiyi Sect already possesses celestial artifacts and is overseen by more than one True Immortal Ancestor.

Most importantly.

The Taiyi Sect has the means to communicate with the Immortal Realm!

Now, the alliance leader is actually going to directly wage war against the Taiyi Sect?

However, this time, no one raised any objections.

Firstly, they had just learned of the great calamity of the gods, and their minds were in turmoil, needing an outlet for their emotions.

Secondly, the Taiyi Sect has always been domineering, and many sects present have suffered at their hands to varying degrees.

With Zhao Feng, a strongman, leading the way, they are naturally happy to see it happen.

More importantly, after the trip to the Yellow Springs Treasure Vault, everyone has clearly realized that the will of this new leader cannot be disobeyed.

"We are willing to obey the leader's orders!"

Linglong Immortal Venerable was the first to express her opinion.

"We are willing to follow the leader's lead!"

It should follow closely behind from the beginning.

"Crush the Taiyi Sect!"

"Unify the universe and resist the divine calamity together!"

With one person taking the lead, others followed suit, and the crowd was filled with enthusiasm.

"Very good." Zhao Feng rose from his throne. "Three days from now, at Yuhua Immortal Mountain, the entire army will assemble!"

Meeting adjourned.

...

Zhao Feng returned to the quiet chamber deep within the Feathered Heaven Palace.

He casually set up several barriers to isolate the inside from the outside.

Then.

With a thought, several items appeared before him.

A bottle of clear liquid, yet exuding an aura of cleansing the soul, was the Forgetfulness Potion obtained from Fang Han.

There was also a palm-sized, withered, and unremarkable piece of wood.

Fragments of the World Tree.

The World Tree is the backbone supporting all the heavens and myriad realms; it is an existence even more ancient than the Celestial Kings.

Even a single fragment contains incredible power.

Most importantly.

This is the only piece of the World Tree that contains life. It was originally a great fortune for Fang Han. After obtaining it and mastering the World Tree, his vital energy became inexhaustible and his strength greatly increased.

But now, this has become Zhao Feng's opportunity!

Zhao Feng opened the jade bottle and carefully poured the Forgetfulness Potion onto the withered piece of wood.

Splash!

The moment the potion of forgetfulness came into contact with the fragments, it was absorbed completely, as if it had encountered a sponge.

The once lifeless piece of wood began to glow with a faint green light after absorbing the potion of forgetfulness.

A faint breath of life emanated from it.

It works!

Without hesitation, Zhao Feng took out another divine object from the Yellow Springs Treasury, the "Fountain of Life," and continued to water it.

As a massive amount of life essence and forgetfulness potion is continuously absorbed.

The fragment of the World Tree began to undergo astonishing changes.

Its withered yellow color quickly faded, replaced by a vibrant green full of life.

A tender green sprout stubbornly emerged from the top of the wood chip.

Immediately afterwards.

It's the second piece, the third piece... (End of Chapter)
