At this moment, the immortals and gods of the Journey to the West world are shocked by the terrifying sight of the Heavenly Dao being eroded and the world filled with demonic energy.

No one expected that at this critical juncture, which seemed like the end of the world, things would turn out this way.

The five Heavenly Saints—Tongtian Jiaozhu, Taishang Laozi, Nuwa Niangniang, Jieyin Daoren, and Zhunti Daoren—actually announced that they would relinquish their Heavenly Saint positions!

"What...what's going on? Why are the saints all relinquishing their saintly positions?"

"Have you noticed that the saints who have abdicated their positions are all turning against these people from outside the realm? Aren't they aiding and abetting evil?"

"I don't believe that a benevolent and magnanimous goddess like Nuwa would aid and abet evil! There must be some secret we don't know about!"

"Is it possible that the saints relinquished their positions as saints of the Heavenly Dao because the Heavenly Dao itself was being corrupted? Did they need to first relinquish their positions to protect themselves before taking action to address the problem of demonic energy corruption?"

...

The immortals and gods of Journey to the West were discussing it animatedly.

Faced with this tremendous change in the world, they felt a deep sense of powerlessness, regardless of their cultivation level.

After all, this involves a massive upheaval in the Heavenly Dao!

Even if they possessed the strength of a powerful being, they would be utterly powerless to do anything about it!

All they could seem to do was pray that someone could resolve this cataclysmic event!

Amidst the discussions among the immortals and gods.

After announcing their intention to relinquish their positions as Heavenly Saints, the Tongtian Sect Leader, Laozi, and Nuwa immediately took action.

"Click..."

They all unleashed their immense power, shattering their Heavenly Dao Saintly Dao Fruits!

"Rumble..."

With the collapse of the Heavenly Dao Saint's status.

An incredibly powerful force of the Heavenly Dao emanated from each of the shattered Dao Fruits of the Saints.

Suddenly, the Tongtian Sect Leader, Laozi, Nuwa, and others all fell from their positions as Heavenly Saints and became non-saints!

...

A Heavenly Sage is not simply someone who possesses the power of a sage.

While they were becoming sages of the Heavenly Way, they were able to borrow the power of the Heavenly Way.

By entrusting their primordial spirit to the Heavenly Dao, they also made the Heavenly Dao more perfect and enhanced its power.

At this moment, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Taishang Laozi, Nuwa Niangniang, Jieyin Zhunti, and others relinquished their Heavenly Dao Saint positions and withdrew their primordial spirits that had been entrusted to the Heavenly Dao.

Not only did their own moral character decline, falling from saints to non-saints.

Consequently, the power of the Heavenly Dao was also weakened to some extent!

In an instant.

The Heavenly Order in the Journey to the West world has been greatly altered due to the reduction of five Heavenly Saints in succession!

Originally, when the Way of Heaven was eroded, astonishing phenomena arose in the world.

This was practically a meeting of extraordinary phenomena, a spectacle so extraordinary that it could dazzle anyone's eyes!

"Waaaaah...waaaah...waaaah..."

"Splash... splash... splash..."

As the Five Saints relinquished their saintly positions, a fierce wind howled across the heavens and earth.

The torrential rain poured down, and an atmosphere of profound sorrow permeated the air.

As a result, countless beings in the Journey to the West world were saddened and shed tears.

However, this scene looked strange no matter how you looked at it.

Because the Heavenly Dao has been corrupted by the demonized Hongjun, demonic energy is rampant between heaven and earth.

Consequently, the strange phenomena that Tongtian, Taishang, Nuwa, and the other five saints suppressed were all filled with demonic energy.

For example, the wind that blows is a black, eerie wind.

For example, the rain that falls is a blood-black demonic rain.

The world was already like the end of the world, and these strange phenomena made it even more terrifying.

Faced with such a terrifying phenomenon, all living beings should be filled with fear.

As a result, influenced by the sage's reduction of grief, their original fear was suppressed, and they all shed tears of sorrow.

Their behavior, combined with the terrifying phenomena, seemed extremely bizarre.

...

After the Tongtian Sect Leader, Laozi, and Nuwa relinquished their positions as Heavenly Dao Saints and withdrew their primordial spirits from the Heavenly Dao, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they lost their holy positions.

Fortunately, they were able to protect themselves and avoid falling into demonic possession like Yuanshi Tianzun!

"Next, it's up to Yin Shengzu and the others..."

Tongtian, Taishang, Nuwa, and the others breathed a sigh of relief and turned their gazes toward Yin Zicheng, the Three Immortals, and the others.

They were helpless against the demonized Hongjun and the corrupted Heavenly Dao.

They could only place their hopes on Yin Zicheng.

Of course, based on the impressive performances of Sanxiao, Jin Ning, and others, Tongtian, Taishang, and Nuwa had great faith in Yin Zicheng and his group.

Meanwhile.

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace.

Tongtian, Taishang, and Nuwa relinquished their saintly positions.

Hongjun Ancestor immediately sensed that the power of the Heavenly Dao had become significantly weaker!

Although the weakening of the Heavenly Dao allowed him to erode it more quickly.

However, for the demonized Hongjun, the weakening of the Heavenly Dao was equivalent to his own weakening.

This was something he absolutely could not accept!

...

"Rumble..."

Grandmaster Hongjun was enraged, and billowing black demonic flames burned fiercely within the Zixiao Palace, making it appear even more evil and terrifying.

"Do they think that by relinquishing their holy status, they can escape the control of the original master?"

"They're really overthinking it!"

"I, the Supreme Ruler, wield the Heavenly Dao and am the ultimate sovereign of this world! They are destined to become my servants; there is no escaping it!"

"Not only them, they won't escape either!"

Hongjun Laozu's angry, evil, and crazed gaze swept over Tongtian Jiaozhu, Taishang Laozi, Nuwa Niangniang, and Yin Zicheng and the Sanxiao group.

After becoming possessed by a demon, his confidence swelled to an unparalleled level, and he believed himself to be invincible!
