As the saying goes, killing intent is hidden in the heart. For Cultivators, perceiving killing intent is not a big deal. As one’s Cultivation level increases, their spiritual senses, Divine Sense, and various inner perceptions can sense the emotions of others.

This is also why it is said that when one meets a powerful individual face-to-face, a single thought can allow the other party to know what is on one’s mind.

Currently, the atmosphere in the Four Directions Land is heavy and oppressive.

Killing intent, omnipresent and visible everywhere, permeates the entire world.

Not to mention that Immortal Dao Cultivators gain no advantage here; even Demonic Cultivators and those on the Evil Path are not having an easy time.

At this time,

The seven-day period, originally agreed upon by both sides as an unspoken understanding,

unexpectedly showed no fluctuations. A variable is a variable; how can it be predicted by past heavenly principles?

Seven days, then another seven days.

Clearly, when thoughts turned and eyes peered, that shadowy, indistinct heavenly fate did indeed manifest in the deductions.

However, it could no longer be trusted.

This was because, although that layer of Chaos Qi gradually thinned and weakened each day,

it had not completely dissipated.

This true world’s Chaos Qi, not originating from outside the universe, contains infinite mysteries, like countless Dao Rhythms manifesting simultaneously. Those with insufficient Cultivation or an unstable Dao Heart, if they attempt to comprehend it, will inevitably end up dissolving into the Dao and departing.

This was not a terrifying warning, but something that genuinely happened during this period.

Several months passed.

Lu Qing Cultivated in Sun Moon Peak, while also paying attention to the changing situation in the Four Directions Land.

As the origin of the storm, this place was strangely calm.

Even the numerous gazes that had swept down from the celestial dome showed no further movement.

Waiting.

From this eerie silence, some individuals, with glints in their eyes, had already grasped a hint of the true meaning here.

No matter how heavenly secrets are deduced, they cannot compare to the changes of reality’s variables.

But no matter how many variables exist, when the Qi of the heavens churns and rolls, this world will ultimately integrate into the Nine Heavens Great Realm.

This is the general trend. Although the minute details within the heavenly secrets cannot be discerned, the general trend is clear, the outcome is already seen, and the intervening period is merely a wait.

In just a few months, without needing heavenly secret deductions, merely by looking, it became clear that the layer of Chaos Qi enveloping the Demonic Land world, preventing outsiders from prying and deducing, had gradually weakened.

One only needed to wait here, and the best time would surely arrive.

However, on the other hand,

the area around the Demonic Land was in a state of silence.

But among the many Cultivators who came here, many were disciples from other Blessed Lands, and many were also rogue cultivators from outside.

The killing intent here was extremely dense.

Not everyone had high-grade spells to protect their spiritual platform from being clouded by this external killing intent.

Nor did all Cultivators possess Dharma Treasures, with their light illuminating the soul, receiving the Dharma Treasure’s protection.

The Demonic Land is the greatest variable, yet under the three tribulations—Heavenly Tribulation, Earth Tribulation, and Human Tribulation—the Human Tribulation is the most unpredictable and cunning, with Baleful Qi covering every Cultivator.

Naturally, there was no escaping it.

They could not enter the Demonic Land. The Six Paths of Demonic Path had drawn many disciples to confront the Immortal Dao Sects.

Consequently, the number of Demonic Cultivators appearing in other areas also decreased significantly.

Although foreign Cultivators were mostly Immortal Dao Cultivators, the concept of the Dao Heart also had varying degrees of obscuration. Some were one step away from entering the Demonic Path, as Dao Hearts inherently differ. Further influenced by the Human Tribulation, bloody conflicts naturally erupted one after another.

“I knew it, this Four Directions Land is indeed the Demonic Cultivator’s main base, how free!”

A crimson blood light flashed across the eyes of a Cultivator.

Suddenly, he saw a figure in the distance, and the figure seemed somewhat familiar.

Instantly, the crimson in his eyes became even more startling, “Heh heh, so you’re here.”

Sensing that connection, the Cultivator with the crimson gaze immediately understood that the Cultivator ahead was the one destined to face tribulation in his current killing tribulation.

The tribulation Qi was hazy and unfathomable. This Cultivator did not feel that his spiritual platform was clouded; instead, he felt that all these thoughts originated from his own heart, with no possibility of external influence.

“If I kill him, I’ll be able to escape from here. He’s an immortal Cultivator, perfect as a pledge of allegiance to the Demonic Path.”

Around the Demonic Land, what people saw was only the outermost situation. For example, although the Demonic Path was said to be in decline, it ultimately had an incredibly deep Foundation, and must surely possess extraordinary places. Otherwise, why would the great Immortal Dao Sects send out all nine sects?

This Cultivator was also like this. After arriving in the Four Directions Land and seeing these things, he developed the idea of joining the Demonic Path, and thinking of this made his thoughts even more uninhibited.

Especially in such a pervasive killing intent, he felt no tendency towards Qi deviation; instead, he developed a desire to join the Demonic Path.

He reined in the fierce light in his eyes and quickly transformed into a flying rainbow, following that sense of connection.

Cultivators undergoing tribulation could sense each other.

Even if concealment methods were used, it could only delay for a time.

Moreover, if one did not face the tribulation, this tribulation Qi would frequently arise, making it easier to accidentally fall into it and end up dead with one’s Dao extinguished.

Therefore, many knowledgeable Cultivators had rushed over early, wishing only to quickly extricate themselves from the turbulent waves within, lest their Dao path be severed by others.

The corresponding Cultivator also showed fierceness in his eyes.

He sensed that the corresponding tribulation-bearer was getting closer to him.

“Good! If you don’t come looking for me, I will definitely come looking for you! It seems today is the day to decide life and death!”

This Cultivator showed no fear of impending death.

According to his many years of Cultivation experience, at this time, he should have first hidden himself, investigated the surroundings, and then lured the opponent into a trap in a certain place, to prevent any ‘mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind’ situations.

But at this moment, sensing that wisp of aura, only a surging killing intent sprouted in his heart. In an instant, his killing intent was chilling, determined to destroy the coming person’s Cultivation.

In the past, he would have surely noticed that such thoughts and actions were amiss.

But at this very moment, all Cultivators had entered the tribulation, and were in the Four Directions Land, which was inherently dominated by fierceness and Baleful Qi. Under this double obscuration, being within the situation, it was naturally difficult to perceive.

Boom—

A streak of light instantly broke through the air.

Stirring up ripples in space.

Both were Golden Core Cultivators. Now that they made a move, a cold glint swept across the sky within a radius of thousands of miles, and the earth shook.

This was merely a small microcosm of the Four Directions Land.

The Nine Heavens Great Realm can accommodate countless small realms. The Four Directions Land can be compared to a continent, and its area is indeed vast.

Their actions would not cause any significant impact.

Simply because a Golden Core Cultivator making a move was an expected inevitability.

When Primordial Spirit Cultivators make a move, there is an even greater power that can overturn mountains and seas, transforming vast rivers and mountains into oceans and mulberry fields in an instant.

Even the core areas that many Cultivators should have avoided, the core areas where the Immortal and Demonic Paths are currently located, went from being completely silent at first to showing movements that became increasingly frequent and larger.

Regardless of which side, a sense of vigilance arose in their hearts.

This meant that this tribulation of slaughter would not spare them.

If they wanted to contend for Qi, they would also have to attack the highest Qi.

The lower-level Cultivators of the Immortal and Demonic Paths had already begun to clash.

rogue cultivators, regardless of their background, had their Cultivation methods and spells categorized among the Six Paths.

The Human Dao had been hidden for a long time. The paths taken by the Divine Dynasty and Immortal Court were ultimately based on the Immortal Dao. These two Immortal Dao orthodoxies could not fully represent the Human Dao, as their Qi had long been intertwined with the Immortal Dao. Buddhism was the same; in ancient times, the Immortal Dao became the Foundation of their alliance.

To open another Dao would be as difficult as creating heaven and earth, not something that could be formed by one family’s words.
