Within the Divine Realm, the divine cultivators gathered around the Qiankun Cauldron watched the Qing Shi Tide sweep in like a raging flood, their hearts filled with terror.
They had previously poured all their true energy into the Qiankun Cauldron, an action they were forced to take only because they were ordered by the elders.
They simply wouldn't believe that the Divine Demon Continent would suddenly fall into some kind of crisis, let alone the absurd notion that the Heavenly Dao incarnation had been interfering and restricting their cultivation.
Putting aside the fact that cultivation is inherently a matter of human effort, in their view, the greatest crisis should be another race crossing the Boundless Sea and declaring war on them.
As for the Heavenly Way, it was merely a legendary existence to them, a vague and ethereal miracle that powerless people would yearn for when they reached a dead end.
What they never expected was that they had just witnessed such a horrific scene, and the tide of the Qing Dynasty had truly arrived...
Doesn't that mean everything Elder Mo said before was true?!
Chu Li, who was standing at the very front of the Qiankun Cauldron, and the six elders of the Divine Realm also had very ugly expressions.
They didn't believe it at first, but Elder Mo was not only highly respected, but also the only peak ninth realm cultivator in the Divine Realm. No matter how absurd his words were, they couldn't ignore them.
But what happened next completely overturned their understanding—
They all saw the black pillar of light above the Demon Continent, which meant that the Demons had received the same instructions as them.
The black and white pillars of light that appeared above the Forbidden Forest, and the five-clawed dragon that transformed from them, truly shocked them.
Such a devastating blow instilled fear in them even from afar, let alone the immense pressure of facing it head-on.
According to Elder Mo's words, their actions were all in order to cooperate with that senior and prevent the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao from unleashing the Tide of Purification...
Mentioning that senior, everyone in the Divine Realm pictured that stunning figure in dark green.
Although they had only met Liu Ying a few times and had never seen her display her abilities, someone whom Elder Mo addressed as a senior must have exceptional cultivation.
Could the enemy truly be an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, requiring Senior Liuying to gather the power of all living beings in order to fight against it?
However, the tide still came...
Chu Li frowned slightly and asked with concern, "Elder Mo, did Senior Liu Ying... fail?"
What's even more incomprehensible is that if there truly is a Heavenly Way, shouldn't that Heavenly Way be all-encompassing and loving towards all living beings?
Why restrict their cultivation and then unleash such a terrifying tide of cleansing to reset everything?
What did they do wrong to deserve this treatment?
Elder Mo frowned, about to say something, when he suddenly heard Liu Ying's voice coming from his Divine Court Sea of Consciousness, and his expression became even more solemn.
He looked up and scanned his surroundings, and seeing the disciples whose faces were slightly pale, he felt a pang of pity.
Although he had instructed them to take pills to replenish their spiritual energy early in the morning, the rate at which their spiritual energy recovered was much slower due to their severe physical depletion.
After so much time, even the fastest one has only recovered 10% of their spiritual power. Even if they tried again, they wouldn't be able to gather a pillar of spiritual energy as powerful as before...
This request was far too much for them, and it seemed unnecessary at all.
Previously, even with all the spiritual energy, it couldn't stop that incarnation of the Heavenly Dao. Now, with only 10%, Elder Mo knew exactly what the outcome would be.
But Elder Mo was truly unwilling to let him surrender.
Elder Mo had never imagined that the real reason why he had been unable to cross the threshold for hundreds of years was so absurd and laughable.
Is it just to make one person the only one in history to reach the Tenth Realm?
If all the favor is given to one person, what do the common people of the world mean to this embodiment of the Heavenly Dao?
What meaning would such an embodiment of the Heavenly Dao have?
Having already reached this point thanks to the paving of their predecessors, if they fail to seize the opportunity to kill this embodiment of the Heavenly Dao this time, then if they were to do it again, they would only be more at the mercy of it.
Moreover, after this experience, he was already on guard, making it even more impossible for him to kill him again.
They might never even discover the existence of this embodiment of the Heavenly Dao again...
This may be their last chance!
In order to prevent his own and his descendants' future from being subject to such a heavenly order, Elder Mo gritted his teeth and asked with a forced smile, "Can you continue?"
Elder Mo's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
Everyone understood that what he really wanted to ask was, "Are you willing to fight for your future?"
"Of course we'll continue! Since we're all going to die eventually, it's better to die fighting than to die a cowardly death!"
Someone shouted it out first, which was followed by a chorus of agreement.
"Yes! Let's fight him! Even the Heavenly Dao can't arbitrarily decide my life and death!"
"That's right! What bullshit about the Heavenly Way! I refuse to believe in this so-called destiny!"
...
Elder Mo's eyes reddened at the sight of someone who understood his thoughts. "Good! As expected of cultivators of my divine race! Let's try again!"
Passion is hard to cool.
If Heaven's way is unjust, then defy Heaven!
As long as they have tried their best, even if the outcome is not satisfactory, at least they can die without regrets!
***
The emergence of the Qing Dynasty tide has also caused panic among the demon faction.
Ling Geng, who had received the order again, did not delay. After giving the order to the cultivators behind him, he swallowed the Spirit Returning Pill in his hand without hesitation.
Because of its extreme rarity, the Rejuvenation Pill is not available in large quantities; only one is available to each of the six elders of the Demonic Sect.
Although with their strength, taking this pill would not damage their bodies like Yin Ming had before.
But how could such a powerful elixir be without any side effects? Once the effects wore off, the six elders would also be bedridden for three days due to the overload on their bodies.
But none of this matters.
In the face of disaster, they are the strongest support for all their people.
Moreover, if everything is reset after today, they won't have to suffer any side effects anymore.
This shows that the present moment is the most important.
Only by surviving can you have the right to think about the future.
