..."Heh, only by showing our true strength can we settle this. You claim to be great Cultivators of the Immortal Path, yet aren't you also here in my Ancient Demonic Land to seek your own fortune?" A Demon stepped forward, his expression gloomy.
The forces of the Immortal cultivator camp opposite them took it all in.
The Demon's aura had already reached the Void Refinement realm. Opposite him, a Void Refinement Immortal cultivator also stood with hands behind his back, calm and composed.
Unperturbed by those words.
Within the Demonic Sect's side.
At the very back of the ranks, several figures stood side by side.
Three men and one woman, with outstanding appearances and eerie auras.
Their robes were ink-black like water, emitting an invisible black light.
Faintly resembling a black sun, they seemed to absorb all the daylight in the world.
They were none other than the Core Demonic Cultivators of the Black Sun Sect.
"The Nine Immortals have arrived as well. It seems the anomaly at Divine Immortal Mountain has been discovered."
The only female Cultivator, with a charming face and eyes flickering with cold black light, sighed with a hint of regret.
"Seventh Junior Sister is being a bit too impatient. You know, haste makes waste." The second young man, with long flowing hair and a black robe fluttering with black light, smiled faintly.
"Junior Brother Tu is right. The Nine Immortals are indeed a major thorn in our Demonic Sect's side. The Unorthodox Immortal Sect that our Black Sun Sect has to deal with is not simple."
Another Core Demonic Cultivator spoke with a slight smile, his eyes, condensed with black light, looking toward the figures to the East with a hint of gravity.
The others followed his gaze, narrowing their eyes. Their expressions remained unchanged, but they were already making their own calculations.
"Unorthodox Immortal Sect."
At the easternmost position, the Cultivators of the Unorthodox Immortal Sect exuded an air of indifference. Their auras were nearly non-existent. They believed that at the end of cultivation, one should be without Law and without Dao. When their cultivation techniques were in motion, they approached nothingness, making their strikes incredibly secretive.
The one the Black Sun Sect had to deal with was the Unorthodox Immortal Sect.
The Nine Great Immortal Sects, the Six Great Demonic Paths, and the newly added variable: the Demon Race.
"With the numbers the Demon Race has brought, pinning down the forces of two Immortal Sects is their limit."
"We still need to be extra careful. There are also Demonic Path Seniors nearby providing support."
Looking toward the Unorthodox Immortal Sect, the leading prodigy Cultivators of the Immortal Sect would naturally be countered by corresponding core disciples of the Demonic Sect.
Especially for those most outstanding Immortal Sect prodigies, the Six Great Demonic Paths had equivalent figures.
Who is stronger, and who is the Prodigy of the Calamity—after this time, it will be known.
"Words are useless. Divine Immortal Mountain is the pillar here. Your attempt to reverse the foundation is intolerable to Heaven and Earth."
An indifferent and cold Immortal cultivator stepped forward. Around him, the wind and clouds changed infinitely in an instant, and the fate of the Yao and Demonic Paths opposite him was suppressed in the blink of an eye.
However, with the sound of an eerie, cold laugh, an old Demon from the Demonic Path also stepped forward, and their fate was released once more.
Almost no explanation was needed.
Yuan Sui, Huang Mingguang, and the others who had rushed here from the rear watched this, their previous suspicions confirmed.
They understood why all parties had gathered at Divine Immortal Mountain today.
So this was the plan.
They looked at Divine Immortal Mountain, knowing this mountain range was incredibly heavy and vast, yet something they could destroy with their power. In the next second, they indeed learned the truth.
"The people of the Demonic Sect truly have too much ambition and greed. They want to reverse Heaven and Earth into a Demonic Land. Even the Ancient Demonic Sect never achieved such a thing. How can they have such confidence? Just because they have an extra helper?"
Huang Mingguang was utterly perplexed.
Yuan Sui's brow furrowed and then relaxed, returning to a calm demeanor. He said indifferently, "To a Demon, if it succeeds, great; if not, so be it. It's a worthwhile gamble. Since they have to fight for fate anyway, why not set their sights higher?"
Huang Mingguang was speechless.
On second thought, when dealing with the Demons opposite them, when had their style ever been different?
Even if they die, they'll drag someone down with them. If the Demonic Path cannot reappear, then the other Six Paths must sink with them. For this, they would not hesitate to offend Heaven and Earth, creating countless calamities.
The fate of the Six Paths in Heaven and Earth changes unpredictably. If the Demonic Path truly succeeds and a heavenly calamity descends, not only will the Demonic Path suffer, but other Cultivators like them under this same sky will also not escape. After all, Heaven and Earth have no personal feelings, yet they operate according to certain Laws of Karma.
"Moreover, there's the aura of the Dao Questioning Immortal Cauldron."
This thought flashed through Yuan Sui's mind. Clearly, even if the other side was acting to reverse things themselves, they insisted on involving the things most closely linked to them by Karma.
The Dao Questioning Immortal Cauldron, as the supreme treasure of the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect, who would have thought... Thinking of the messages from the Sect, the various Immortal Sects could not ignore it.
Although it was currently only circulating among the upper echelons, the Demonic Path would have no such scruples.
The Dao Asking Immortal Sect losing the Dao Questioning Immortal Cauldron at this critical juncture of struggling for fate has also significantly weakened the fate of the Immortal Path.
"But the people of the Dao Asking Sect specialize in Heavenly Divination. How could they have fallen so far as to not even know their Dao Questioning Immortal Cauldron was stolen?"
"Or rather..."
When rumors spread earlier, some people felt suspicious upon hearing them, wondering if this was a smokescreen released by the Immortal Path Sects. How could a perfectly good Immortal Sect treasure just disappear like that?
Or perhaps, beyond the sight of everyone, the Dao Questioning Immortal Cauldron had once left the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect.
But what matter, or what great enemy, would require the Wen Dao Sect Master to leave with the supreme treasure?
The various clues couldn't be connected. They knew too little about the Dao Asking powerhouses.
Relying solely on guesswork, they didn't know which direction this struggle of the Six Paths would take.
Their hearts grew a bit heavier.
Before them, the destinies of the three parties collided violently.
Space for tens of thousands of miles vibrated.
Those destinies in the shadows also fell from the sky one after another. In an instant, they were combined by the three parties' destinies, forming a massive vortex. In the blink of an eye, they acted together to pull all these destinies into the fate battlefield of Divine Immortal Mountain.
These were precisely the destinies of the other three paths: Divine, Ghost, and Spirit.
Various Divine Beings, Ghost Cultivators, and Spirit Race members scattered across different places felt something and simultaneously looked up toward the central sky.
Their expressions changed instantly.
"Are they crazy?!"
With such a massive disturbance in the fate of the Six Paths, they could not escape it either.
These destinies spread out in the blink of an eye. One moment they were in the central sky, and the next they were in the skies above their heads. In another instant, they surged into all directions. Within the universe as far as the eye could see, the destinies of the Six Paths flowed and entangled, colliding with a thunderous roar...
