Ascension of The Unholy Immortal-Chapter 338: Ancient Ruler
As Mo Ji’s incantation reached its climax, the formation under his feet flashed with an eerie glow. A hum filled the air as space-time warped around him, and a colossal formation emerged, engulfing the entire Devil Realm.
Runes and symbols etched themselves into the fabric of reality, glowing menacingly as they formed a complex pattern. Suddenly, a faint humming filled the air, and a faint halo of light appeared above each devil court expert.
With each passing moment, the halo grew brighter, until it formed an ethereal crown that suspended itself above their heads. A surge of immense power coursed through their bodies, their auras spiking dramatically. Each expert felt their strength double and their power soaring.
The formation, known as the Heavenly Devil Ruling the Heaven, was Mo Ji’s ultimate masterpiece.

The battlefield transformed into a scene of utter chaos as the empowered devil court experts charged into the fray. Their attacks were swift, precise, and devastating, laying waste to their opponents with ruthless efficiency. The True Spirits, once confident in their superiority, were now forced to retreat in the face of this overwhelming onslaught.
"HAHAHA! This is the power of the Heavenly Devil Ruling the Heaven formation! None can stand against us now!" A devil court expert bellowed with pride.
"Surrender now, pitiful worms! The Heavenly Devil Ruling the Heaven is invincible!"
"Your struggle is futile! The devil court has reigned supreme for thousands of years, and it shall continue to rule for eternity!"
"Die, traitorous monkeys! You dare defy the might of our lord, Mo Ji?"
The tide of battle turned swiftly in the Devil Court’s favor. The True Spirits, once fearless and confident, found themselves struggling to hold their ground against the relentless onslaught. Fear began to creep into their hearts as they realized the true extent of the Devil Court’s power.
One by one, the True Spirits fell, their cries of anguish echoing through the battlefield.
Sun Wu stood firm against the surging tide of devil court experts, his golden staff blazing with righteous fury. His eyes scanned the battlefield, taking in the sight of his experts falling before the overwhelming forces of devil court experts.
"You are outmatched, monkey," Mo Ji replied calmly. "Your rebellion will be crushed, and you will join your comrades in oblivion."
"Mo Ji, you coward!" Sun Wu roared, his voice echoing through the chaos of battle. "You hide behind your formation, face me like a true warrior!"
Mo Ji’s laughter boomed across the battlefield. "Why should I, stinky monkey? I have already achieved victory. The Heavenly Devil Ruling the Heaven formation is unbreakable, and your True Spirit puppies are no match for my devil court warriors. Surrender now, and I may spare your life."
Sun Wu’s eyes flashed with amusement as he witnessed Mo Ji’s arrogant posturing. A sudden burst of laughter erupted from his lips.
"Old thing, do you really think I don’t know about your precious formation?"
As if to punctuate his words, a crimson jade slip materialized in his palm. With a swift motion, he crushed it into a thousand pieces.

In a desolate forest on a remote planet within the Middle Ring, a haunting stillness enveloped the surroundings, broken only by the hushed breaths of seven black-robed figures. They sat in a perfect circle at the heart of this eerie realm.
"Senior Brother Long, it’s the signal!" one figure exclaimed, urgency lacing his voice.
Senior Brother Long nodded solemnly. "Everyone, we have sacrificed so much for this moment. The future of our Divine Spirit Palace hangs in the balance. We cannot fail!"
"Let’s do it," Feng Xue declared with a graceful flick of her wrist as she launched an ancient red ruler into the sky.
As the ruler ascended, the atmosphere around the seven experts charged with energy. They collectively unleashed their formidable auras, pouring spirit qi and bloodline power into the ruler.
With a breathtaking intensity, the ruler began to radiate a brilliant crimson glow.
Boom!
The ruler descended with tremendous force, targeting the ground at the center of the circle. It connected with a deafening crash, penetrating the earth as if it were mere parchment, toward an unknown destination.
Instantly, a deafening explosion reverberated through the whole devil realm, causing the ground to tremble violently. The sky grew dark as a thick, black fog enveloped the entire area, blotting out the heavens. From within the swirling vortex, faint whispers and howls could be heard all around the realm, sending shivers down the spines of even the most brutal devil.
"What a waste!" Liang sighed regretfully from a concealed spot near the seven experts.
The ancient ruler had just revealed itself to be a genuine sacred artifact.
What transpired was the explosion of this ruler in a pocket world connected to the planet. From Liang’s observations, this pocket realm housed the core of the Heavenly Devil Ruling the Heaven formation, recently activated.
"Well, it can’t be helped. This formation is a peak eighth-order construct, cultivated by the powers of heaven and earth over countless years. Only a sacred artifact’s detonation could destroy it," Liang mused silently, his gaze fixed intently on Feng Xue.
"Although she isn’t the only Fire True Spirit, she is undoubtedly the most suitable one." Liang’s eyes flickered with contemplation.
"Moreover, she poses a hidden danger that I must eliminate."
One reason for Liang’s determination to choose her was the sense of danger and hostility he detected while examining the threads of cause and effect between them. Though it was merely an analysis grounded in calculation, he refused to dismiss it. Activating his Universe Piercing Eyes to their maximum potential, he focused his gaze on the battlefield in the Heavenly Devil Continent.
The ethereal halos that adorned the heads of the devil court experts suddenly flickered and died. The surge of power they had felt moments ago dissipated like a fleeting dream, leaving them feeling weak and vulnerable.
Confusion and fear spread through the devil court ranks as they struggled to make sense of the sudden turn of events.
Mo Ji’s face flashed with disbelief and fury. His eyes widened in shock as he realized that the power of the Heavenly Devil Ruling the Heaven formation had been cut off.
"Impossible!" he roared, his voice trembling with rage. "How could this be?!"
He had invested countless years and resources into cultivating this formation, believing it to be his ultimate weapon, as for the location of the formation core, he had not disclosed it to anyone besides two people, and the two of them were his disciples, Mo Di and Yang Tan.
Anger surged through his veins as he realized something and glared at Sun Wu. "You treacherous monkey!"
Sun Wu met Mo Ji’s gaze with a smug grin. "Oh, did you finally realize, old man?"
Sun Wu stood tall, his golden staff crackling with righteous fury. "Your reign of terror ends here, Mo Ji. You and your devil court have brought nothing but darkness and suffering to the realm. It’s time for you to pay for your crimes!"
Amidst the chaos of battle, Mo Ji’s laughter cut through the air with a sinister echo. "Foolish monkey! Do you truly believe you can defeat me? I am Mo Ji!"
With a swift motion, he began drawing intricate seals in the air. With each stroke, a surge of dark energy coursed through his veins. Suddenly, the Heavenly Devil Ruling the Heaven formation activated once more, shrouding the battlefield in an eerie glow.
However, this time, something unexpected occurred. Instead of empowering the devil court experts as before, the ethereal halos above their heads flickered and turned dim. Their bodies grew weak as their energy began to drain, flowing towards a single point—the halo suspended above Mo Ji’s head.
Confusion and terror washed over the devil court experts as they gasped in disbelief.
"What is Mo Ji doing?" Sun Wu’s expression became grave.
He could sense a formidable power building within the formation. If Mo Ji were allowed to complete his spell, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Everyone, attack together! Do not let him finish his spell!" Sun Wu bellowed.
The True Spirits and the devilish experts who had turned to the Divine Spirit Palace joined forces, unleashing a torrent of attacks towards Mo Ji. However, their attacks seemed to be absorbed by the formation, unable to penetrate its defenses.
Mo Ji’s eyes glowed with a sinister light. "You fools, you think you can stop me?"
As he chanted the final incantation, the formation beneath him lit up with a blinding light. A vast energy surged through the Devil Realm, and a colossal, devilish figure descended from the depths of the void.
Liang’s eyes widened in astonishment at the sight of the colossal devilish figure emerging from the void.
"As expected of the devil realm lord, Mo Ji truly can’t be underestimated".
Through his powerful universe sense, he could perceive everything with clarity. "A presence that transcends the Void Return Realm— the might of the upper domain."
