"Dan Chenzi, you have committed such a heinous crime, are you really not afraid of divine retribution?"
"Divine retribution? Xuan Tian Sect, have you forgotten who I am? I am a demonic cultivator now, a demon. Do you even know what a demon is?"
"You're lawless and act recklessly. Besides, everyone here, whether righteous or demonic, has blood on their hands. What right do you have to lecture me?" Dan Chenzi said arrogantly.
“You… I never imagined you had fallen so deeply into demonic possession.” Xuan Tianzong’s eyes revealed endless disappointment.
"We've known each other for over two hundred years, and I've always hoped you would turn back from the wrong path, but now it seems that was just wishful thinking on my part."
After Xuan Tianzong finished speaking, he retrieved the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel, and the two magical treasures flew back to his side. He then made a hand seal.
"call out…"
The golden moon vanished in a flash.
"Splash..."
Dan Chenzi retracted his wings to protect his body.
"Sizzle..."
Sparks flew from the moon wheel and wings.
"Bang..."
A burst of power erupted from Dan Chenzi, and the Moon Golden Wheel was blasted away.
"Clang..."
Suddenly, a black spear appeared in Dan Chenzi's hand.
A few streaks of electricity flashed across the spear.
"Thunder Soul-Devouring Spear." Xuan Tianzong's expression changed.
Dan Chenzi gripped the gun barrel with both hands and then began to spin it.
"Boom..."
Suddenly, a dark cloud appeared in the sky, accompanied by the sound of thunder.
"What is this?" People stared in shock at the scene.
"Dan Chenzi, how dare you?"
Upon seeing this, Xuan Tianzong immediately rushed towards the other party.
At this moment, Dan Chenzi revealed a strange smile.
"Click..."
A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, heading straight for the Xuan Tian Sect.
"The Sun and the Wheel."
Xuan Tianzong shouted in mid-air.
"Buzz..."
The Golden Sun Wheel immediately transformed into a protective shield, appearing on Xuan Tianzong's body.
At this moment, Dan Chenzi's smile became even more wicked, and he pointed his spear at the crowd below.
"Click..."
A bolt of lightning struck Fan Qinghui and the others.
"Oh no, we've fallen into their trap!" Xuan Tianzong shouted.
"Get out of the way!" Ning Daoqi shouted.
"Boom..."
"Feixuan..." Fan Qinghui slapped Shi Feixuan away, sending her away from the spot where the lightning was coming from.
"Sect Master!" Several female disciples rushed towards Fan Qinghui without hesitation.
"boom…"
After a deafening clap of thunder, half of the remaining members of the righteous path fell.
"Cough cough..."
Fan Qinghui struggled to crawl out from among the corpses, her face charred black.
"Master." Shi Feixuan, completely unharmed, leaped over again and helped Fan Qinghui up.
"Junior Sister Fan!" Ning Daoqi also rushed over.
“Demon, demon…” Fan Qinghui murmured, looking at the corpses of her disciples who had died protecting her.
There were many monks' corpses lying around. Liaoming was lucky and was not injured, but he was also terrified and kept chanting Amitabha Buddha with his hands clasped together.
"How terrifying, is this the power of immortals?" At this moment, everyone, whether from the underworld or the legitimate world, was stunned.
"Yu Yan, can this Dan Chenzi be trusted?" Shi Zhixuan appeared beside Zhu Yu Yan and asked.
"This... should be fine, right? We're working for him, he shouldn't hurt us," Zhu Yuyan said somewhat guiltily.
"Don't worry, Master, Uncle-Master, Dan Chenzi won't hurt us. Don't forget, I saved his life," Wanwan quickly said from the side.
The two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dan Chenzi..."
At this moment, Xuan Tianzong's aura became even stronger, and a surge of energy emanated from the Northern Sun Golden Wheel.
A blue light was flashing inside.
Dan Chenzi immediately flew backward a hundred meters.
"Dan Chenzi, you will die today!" Xuan Tianzong's angry voice rang out.
The golden wheel that enveloped him returned to its original form.
People saw that Xuan Tianzong in the air had a strange weapon in his hand, which looked like a collection of countless spikes and emitted blue flames.
"You've finally decided to take out the Nanming Li Huo Sword." Dan Chenzi licked his lips, revealing a hint of excitement.
"die…"
Xuan Tianzong wielded his divine sword and swung it forcefully, unleashing a gigantic sword aura a hundred meters high, carrying overwhelming power, towards Dan Chenzi.
"Blood Magic Body".
Dan Chenzi roared, then bit his finger and dripped blood onto a skull he was holding in his left hand.
"boom…"
Suddenly, an evil aura emanated from Dan Chenzi's hand, and then the skull grew to an enormous size.
"Bang..."
The sword energy slammed into the skull.
A shockwave spread outwards, causing everyone on the ground to lose their footing, and all those below the Grandmaster level were blown away.
"Feixuan!" Fan Qinghui quickly hugged Shi Feixuan to prevent her from being blown away.
Wanwan had already rushed into her master's arms, and Shi Zhixuan had already embraced Zhu Yuyan. None of the three were harmed.
"Hehehe... Didn't expect that, did you? I have the Blood Demon's skeletal clone. Xuan Tian Sect, how many more times can you use the Nanming Li Huo Sword?" Dan Chenzi said sinisterly.
“Killing you is enough.” Xuan Tianzong took a deep breath.
"Sect Master Fan, I apologize. This was my mistake. I didn't expect him to be so despicable," Xuan Tianzong said, looking down at Fan Qinghui and the others.
"Senior, there's no need for this. We've dragged you down," Fan Qinghui shook her head. With so many people dead on their side, it could be said that the righteous path had already failed.
"Amitabha…"
Just then, a Buddhist chant suddenly rang out within the Jingnian Chan sect.
Liao Ming's expression changed.
"Senior brother."
"What? Master Liaokong?"
"What happened? He actually broke the silence meditation." Everyone was immediately shocked.
"boom…"
Immediately afterwards, a huge explosion was heard from inside the temple, followed by a cloud of smoke and dust.
"Whoosh..."
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a figure flew out.
"Senior brother." Master Liaoming recognized Liaokong at a glance and leaped forward to catch Liaokong as he flew out.
"Master Liaokong!" Ning Daoqi also rushed forward.
"Bang..."
Both of them caught the air at the same time, but were still knocked back quite a bit by the impact.
"Senior brother, senior brother, what's wrong?" Liaoming called out repeatedly.
"Master Liaokong is dead..." Ning Daoqi said in disbelief.
It turned out that what flew out was just a corpse.
"Senior Brother Liaokong." Fan Qinghui leaped over and reached out to touch Liaokong's nose, and sure enough, he was lifeless.
Then everyone looked towards the source of the smoke, and a figure gradually flew out from within.
"Who are you?" Fan Qinghui demanded.
The newcomer appeared to be an old man with a strange expression on his face, carrying a wooden box in his hand.
"Senior," Shi Zhixuan blurted out.
“Xiang Yutian…” Ning Daoqi said through gritted teeth.
"What? The Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian?"
"How is that possible? He's still alive."
"He is the patriarch of the Demonic Sect."
"whee…"
At this moment, a girl's laughter came from inside Yutian's body, which startled everyone.
"So what if it's Dan Chenzi? In the end, didn't you still rely on me?"
The voice rang out again.
"As expected of you, you win this time." Dan Chenzi smiled.
“This…” Shi Zhixuan looked at Xiang Yutian in shock.
“You…you are that butterfly.” Suddenly he remembered something.
"What flower butterfly? I am the Crimson Butterfly, but of course I prefer you to call me the Crimson Corpse God."
"What did you do to the senior?" Shi Zhixuan asked.
"Hehehe, this guy is too stupid. If she hadn't been so unguarded, I might not have been able to succeed. You saw it too, I possessed his body. But don't worry, I'll let him go after this is over."
"Hand over the He Shi Bi." Xuan Tianzong turned to Xiang Yutian, who was possessed by Xiao Die, and pointed the Nanming Li Huo Sword at him.
"Xuantian Sect, you're still struggling even now," Dan Chenzi said coldly. Then, Fei Yu behind him waved his hand, and countless feather blades flew towards Xuantian Sect.
"Giggle..."
Xiang Yutian's body vanished from the air and reappeared beside Dan Chenzi.
"Well done," Dan Chenzi said with a smile.
"Clang clang clang..." On the other side, Xuan Tianzong also blocked the flying feather blade.
At this moment, Dan Chenzi opened the wooden box, and a surge of energy immediately flowed out.
"It truly is a sacred object." Dan Chenzi's eyes lit up. He then placed the skull on the He Shi Bi jade.
"Dan Chenzi doesn't want it."
Xuan Tianzong hurriedly said.
Dan Chenzi looked at the other party with disdain.
"No, no, don't let him out!" Xuan Tianzong pleaded.
Just then, the sky gradually darkened, and a sense of oppression arose from everyone's body.
"Something seems off," Shi Zhixuan said.
"Blood Demon, he's about to release that Blood Demon." Song Que also came to Shi Zhixuan's side.
"Why hasn't the Taoist priest appeared yet?" Shi Zhixuan asked anxiously.
"What Taoist priest?" Zhu Yuyan asked in confusion.
"Alas, this was actually the Taoist priest's scheme. In order to eliminate that blood demon, he deliberately made us help you obtain the He Shi Bi jade," Shi Zhixuan explained.
"What will happen to the Blood Demon?"
"Well? You saw it too, even immortals are afraid of it. This is a demon that can destroy the world." Shi Zhixuan said, looking at the Xuantian Sect in the sky.
Just then, the skeleton in the air slowly rose up, and two streams of black gas emanated from its eyes, drifting downwards.
Everyone quickly stepped back.
However, the black aura ignored everyone and headed towards the thousands of corpses on the ground.
As they approached the ground, the two streams of black energy dispersed, splitting into many parts, each enveloping one of the corpses.
"Don't even think about it." Xuan Tianzong swung his sword again at the skull in the sky.
"when…"
Dan Chenzi and Xiang Yutian immediately used their magic to create an energy shield around the skull, which barely blocked the sword energy.
“Xuantian Sect, even at this point, you still won’t give up. I advise you to put down your sword. Considering our more than two hundred years of friendship, I can spare your life.”
"I would rather die than beg for mercy." Xuan Tianzong gasped for breath, his face filled with resentment.
"Ah, look."
At this moment, the crowd gasped in alarm, for all the corpses on the ground had vanished.
The black mist slowly disappeared and flew back into the skull's eye.
Amidst the terrified gazes of the people, the skull in the sky changed.
One, two, three, four…
The number of skulls in the sky gradually increased, and their size also gradually increased until a giant skull formed from countless skulls appeared.
