"You guys don't think this is the end, do you? Huh? Hahahaha!"

Qi Chong's laughter echoed in everyone's ears, causing them to frown involuntarily.

Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he continued to attack Qi Chong and the other evil cultivators.

But the result of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Master's divination still came to mind.

The summoning spell has already been used; could this be a turning point?

"Could this be a turning point?" Shen Sanru murmured softly.

The Master of Tianji Pavilion said that everyone present that day would die or be seriously injured, and indeed, countless people have died or been injured.

They say the cultivation world will be a living hell, looking at the bloodstains that have soaked the soil and the brutal massacre that just happened.

Is this considered purgatory?

Should I count?

Her summoning spells did indeed turn the tide of the battle.

Shen Sanruo kept thinking, trying to match everything that had happened with the prophecy of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master.

Despite her best efforts to align herself with the prophecy, reality was far from what was predicted.

She simply couldn't ignore the gap between the two, nor could she numb herself that the crisis in the cultivation world had passed.

It hasn't started yet; the scene that the Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion saw during his divination hasn't begun.

Even if Shen Sangruo is unwilling to accept it, based on the current situation, this is the only conclusion that can be drawn.

Her brows furrowed tightly, and she bit her lip repeatedly, almost drawing blood.

The atmosphere inside the third line of defense was particularly heavy.

Those present were all outstanding young cultivators in the cultivation world, all intelligent people; how could they not have thought of this?

Seeing how anxious she was, Su Xiyu forced a smile and stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "Think of it on the bright side, maybe this is a turning point?"

"The description of it as a living hell is probably just an exaggeration by the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Master."

"Or perhaps the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master only saw the situation of the third line of defense and assumed it represented the entire cultivation world's predicament."

"In fact, we have just experienced the scene predicted by the Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion."

Su Xiyu's tone suggested she didn't even believe it herself.

How could the Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion make a mistake on something so important? There is no way such a mistake could happen.

“Perhaps we have changed the fate of the cultivation world ahead of time,” Shi Zhili said. “Those evil cultivators are doomed and will soon be wiped out.”

"The things that happened afterward naturally wouldn't have happened."

Even as he said this, Shi Zhili was still unsure.

Despite the impending resounding victory, not a single person could be happy.

The dark clouds hanging over them seemed to grow even thicker and heavier.

Those in the cultivation world who were unaware of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Master's prophecy looked on with delight as the number of evil cultivators gradually decreased.

"I thought it would be an extremely difficult war, but to my surprise, it was over in less than half a month."

"However, those evil cultivators are indeed powerful. They even sneaked up to the third line of defense. If Sect Master Shen hadn't summoned the seniors from the Transitional Realm in time, the cultivation world would probably be in grave danger."

"Yes, we were deadlocked for so long before, I thought it would go on like this forever, and maybe in the end the cultivation world would be defeated by the evil cultivators. Fortunately, we have the summoning technique."

"The war is not completely over yet, so everyone should not let their guard down. There is still an evil cultivator roaming around."

"We must be careful until we catch that evil cultivator. However, the Five Divine Beasts and Immortal Lord Changli should be able to finish dealing with this matter soon and then focus all their efforts on capturing that evil cultivator."

He was just a heretical cultivator. Even if he was a near-god among heretical cultivators, in the eyes of the cultivation world, he was nothing more than a spent force.

Especially in the midst of the joy of impending victory.

They believed that the evil cultivator would be caught sooner or later, restoring peace to the cultivation world.

Only a few people know that this heretical cultivator is very likely the beginning of a new catastrophe in the cultivation world.

"The situation at the first and second lines of defense is basically stable. Qi Yan and Master are able to handle it. I'll send more senior cultivators from the Transcendent Realm to search for the escaped evil cultivator," Chen Sangruo said, word by word.

Three days have passed, and the evil cultivator has still not shown up.

She felt increasingly uneasy.

"We must find that evil cultivator as soon as possible!"

Finding him sooner, before the thing in the furnace takes shape, might still offer a chance to change the course of fate.

If the summoning spell hadn't been used yet, she might be able to relax a bit.

Summoning was the only hope they all saw, but now it was being used before the real catastrophe even occurred.

What is the real turning point?

What else could they possibly use?

It seems that all the cards in the cultivation world are here.

Shen Sanruo stroked the feather fan in her hand, pondering various possibilities.

No results.

I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Thinking of something, she suddenly looked up at the sky and said in a low voice, "If the entire cultivation world really comes to a state of darkness, I hope you can take action."

It is, after all, the Heavenly Dao of the cultivation world. We can't just stand by and watch the cultivation world fall, can we?

Moreover, the Heavenly Dao has hinted at this to her so many times, so it must also care about the cultivation world.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was no response, yet it was as if the will of Heaven had already responded.

Her pursed lips gradually tightened into a straight line. She withdrew her gaze and sighed softly.

A moment later, she decided to summon another batch of phantom images of her predecessors, as she still needed to find that evil cultivator as soon as possible.

Although the phantom's activities are maintained by the combined power of her divine soul and the spiritual power of the ancestors' true forms, maintaining more than three hundred phantoms simultaneously is something that no ordinary person can withstand.

She could only move around among a bunch of divine soul artifacts, constantly replenishing her rapidly depleting divine soul power.

Everything is proceeding as the Master of Tianji Pavilion said. Since the Master of Tianji Pavilion has seen a turning point, then there will definitely be a turning point.

Thinking of this, Chen Sanru suppressed her agitation, and her bright eyes became resolute again.

No matter how difficult the process, no matter how many people are sacrificed, the cultivation world will definitely find that turning point!

Three more days passed, and the evil cultivator was still nowhere to be found.

The evil cultivators on the second line of defense had been forced back into the base to join Qi Chong and his near-divine evil cultivators in dealing with the offensive.

There were fewer than 500 people left in total.

It is estimated that in another three days, their defenses will be breached and all the evil cultivators will be eliminated.

But the more they thought this was the case, the stranger it seemed to them.

The evil cultivators' power is waning. The one who escaped should act quickly. Why is there still no movement?

This is really illogical.

"Seniors, is there anything unusual in the cultivation world?" she asked the ancestors who were patrolling the cultivation world through her divine soul connection.

"Nothing's amiss, that heretical cultivator hasn't made a move yet..."

Just when Shen Sang thought it was another illusion of calm, the voices of her ancestors suddenly rang in her mind.

"No, that's not right, that evil cultivator has already made his move! He made his move a long time ago!"
