Whether it was True Master Ming Liang or Wu Kongxue, they had all forgotten about one force—the Primordial Wilderness Independent Demons of the Hidden Dragon Continent. Since the forces of the Primordial Wilderness seldom took action, the Independent Immortals and Independent Demons of the Tenglong Continent knew very little about them.

In a mortal’s estate on the Tenglong Continent.

There were four people in the estate. One of them, looking identical to True Master Ming Liang, suddenly shimmered and transformed into the controller of the Primordial Wilderness Demon Clan—Yu Liang.

"Lord Yu Liang, after you single-handedly killed a thousand Independent Demons in one go, everything has indeed unfolded just as you predicted. The side of the Independent Demons can no longer restrain themselves," said Kong Cao, the leader of the three great giants under Yu Liang, with a smile.

Yu Liang smiled indifferently, "Those Loose Cultivators of the Tenglong Continent are merely venturing into the Chaotic Star Sea for cultivation. How many of them have actually been to our Primordial Wilderness? They’re not familiar with us, nor do they know our strength. It would be strange if they don’t suffer losses."

In the Mortal World, speaking of speed, are True Master Ming Liang, Dragon Clan Patriarch Fang Tian, and Island Master Zong Jue of Pengmo Island really the only ones faster? The controller of the Primordial Wilderness, Yu Liang, isn’t much slower than Fang Tian when it comes to speed.

"Lord Yu Liang’s ’Sky-reaching Earth Tunneling’ divine skills are so fast that, in the entire Mortal World, probably only Zong Jue of Pengmo Island can surpass you," said Xing Shou, one of the three great giants known as ’Flowing Electric Leopard,’ with a laugh.

Xing Shou was also renowned for his speed, but even he felt inferior in Yu Liang’s presence.

The rat is a weak animal.

However, the king of rats—Sky-reaching Rat—is an Upper Level Divine Beast with Inheritance Memory. The Sky-reaching Rat is adorned with the title ’Sky-reaching’ firstly because of its extreme speed, and secondly because of its unique attack divine skills.

Yu Liang, an Upper Level Divine Beast of the Twelfth Tribulation, is by nature a Sky-reaching Rat!

The Super Divine Beast, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, although formidable, is not particularly adept at speed and at most, its speed is only comparable to that of Yu Liang. Yu Liang, disguised as True Master Ming Liang, even fooled Wu Kongxue.

The Super Divine Beast, the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird, specializes in speed. Only Zong Jue could make Yu Liang admit that he is not a match in terms of speed.

"The Loose Cultivators of the Tenglong Continent generally venture into the Chaotic Star Sea after surpassing the Fourth Tribulation. They are very familiar with the forces within the Chaotic Star Sea, but know almost nothing about our Primordial Wilderness. This time, we will let those Loose Cultivators learn about the strength of the Primordial Wilderness Independent Demons," Yu Liang said, his expression radiant, yet his eyes flashed with a cold light.

...

Tens of thousands of Independent Demons, under the lead of Lady Lian Yue, were majestically flying towards Qingxu Mountain; in the sky, countless Independent Demons swarmed, thick as locusts, covering the entire sky.

The overwhelming demon aura deterred any Cultivator from drawing near.

"Lian Yue, Fire Demon, this time we’re leading nearly all the master Independent Demons to make a killing. I believe Ming Liang will receive the news before our arrival and they will be prepared. Therefore... I’ve decided that Wu Hei and I will make the first move to Qingxu Mountain, catching them off guard," said Wu Kongxue, his eyes gleaming with a hint of red light.

Lady Lian Yue and Fire Demon’s eyes lit up.

"That’s an excellent idea. Once Lord Wu Kongxue and Big Brother Wu Hei use Instantaneous Movement, they will quickly reach Qingxu Mountain, likely before the enemy has prepared. Strike first, and after reaping the benefits, Lord Wu Kongxue and Big Brother Wu Hei can return to join the rest of us," agreed Lady Lian Yue enthusiastically.

Wu Hei and Wu Kongxue exchanged glances, a trace of cruelty flickering in their eyes.

Immediately, the two figures vanished into thin air.

Whether it’s the Black Demon Demon Path, Blood Demon Demon Path, or Asura Demon Path, these three great Demon Paths of the Demon World are all known for their extremely murderous cultivation methods.

...

Meanwhile, Qin Yu had already been on his way to Qingxu Mountain.

When Qin Yu heard the cheers of the Independent Demons, he understood that the Independent Demon Army must be heading to Qingxu Mountain, and so he set out in advance.

"Feifei, Little Black, Shi Xin, come out, there’s a good show to watch," Qin Yu thought, and summoned Hou Fei and the others from Qingyu Immortal Mansion.

With a gleam in his eye, Hou Fei asked, "A good show? What kind of good show?" Hei Yu also looked towards Qin Yu.

"The Independent Immortals and the Independent Demons are about to have a large-scale battle. Don’t you think it’s a good show?" Qin Yu said with a smile. "Each side has tens of thousands of Loose Cultivators, it’s truly massive."

Hou Fei’s eyes widened, "Tens of thousands of Independent Immortals and tens of thousands of Loose Cultivators fighting each other? Let’s go, Big Brother, where’s the battlefield? Hurry up."

Just the thought of it was exciting.

The sight of countless Loose Cultivators fighting each other would definitely be many times more shocking than the scene of Tribulation Crossing, even Hei Yu, Shi Xin, and the others were intrigued.

"The battlefield is at Qingxu Mountain, follow me," Qin Yu said and took the lead flying towards Qingxu Mountain.

Hou Fei, Hei Yu, Mo Qilin, and the others followed Qin Yu flying towards Qingxu Mountain. According to Qin Yu’s plan, he had set off ahead of time and should have arrived at Qingxu Mountain before the fight began. But—

From a great distance away from Qingxu Mountain.

Covered in snowflakes, Qingxu Mountain was no longer its usual snowy white but was instead blood red. A thick layer of red Blood Cloud enveloped Qingxu Mountain, and screams of agony constantly echoed.

With the power Wu Kongxue possessed, the Upper Heavenly Palace inside the ’Ten Variations Illusion Array’ of Qingxu Mountain was filled with Sixth Tribulation and above Independent Immortals. Outside the Ten Variations Illusion Array, within Qingxu Temple’s sect gates, were only some ordinary disciples and a few Independent Immortals lower than the Sixth Tribulation.

These Independent Immortals had no power to resist in front of Wu Kongxue. Countless Blood Clouds drifted by, and disciples below the Great Success Stage turned into pools of blood, while those above could only hold on for a little while before falling.

Screams of pain, shrieks of rage, roars of anger...

At that moment, Wu Hei, transformed into a giant of five to six meters tall, wielded a huge black axe, storming around like a moving fortress. Whether facing people or buildings, Wu Hei charged straight through, and in an instant, the number of people killed under his hand was innumerable.

Palaces collapsed, flora blackened, limbs scattered everywhere, and blood flowed like water throughout the entire Qingxu Temple. In just a short while, the number of dead reached a horrific figure.

"Wu Kongxue, Wu Hei, you’ve gone too far."

The usually calm True Master Ming Liang burst into fury upon discovering the catastrophe at the lower Qingxu Temple and immediately rushed out of the Upper Heavenly Palace towards the rampaging Wu Kongxue, determined to fight. True Masters Ming Shan, Lan Bing, Chi Yang, Xue Yuyang, and others also charged forth.

"Consider this a greeting gift. The real battle is yet to come."

Wu Kongxue dodged with a flicker of his body, seemingly not at all interested in confronting True Master Ming Liang.

"Wu Hei, let’s go." Wu Kongxue and Wu Hei swiftly flew away from Qingxu Mountain.

Joined together, Wu Kongxue and Wu Hei were nearly impossible for True Master Ming Liang and the others to detain, and they still remembered the words that Wu Kongxue had just spoken.

"The intelligence was accurate, the Independent Demons really are stirring up a fight," True Master Ming Liang thought angrily.

At that moment, Shan Nian flew up with a grave expression, "Master Uncle, in just that short period, nearly twenty thousand of our Qingxu Temple disciples have died, and several thousand low-level Independent Immortals have also been killed."

"Twenty thousand?"

True Master Ming Liang felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Qingxu Temple was always very strict in recruiting disciples, having far fewer disciples than Purple Sun Sect or Lanyang Sect, totaling only sixty or seventy thousand. Losing twenty thousand in one fell swoop meant a loss of one third.

A sect’s future lies within these fundamental disciples.

Once the foundation is damaged, the sect’s downfall is not far behind.

"Shan Nian, heed my command. Summon ten thousand elite disciples of Qingxu Temple into the Ten Variations Illusion Array and let them cram into the open space in front of Upper Heavenly Palace,"

"Understood," Shan Nian replied, overjoyed.

The range of the Ten Variations Illusion Array is limited and already housed a vast number of Sixth Tribulation Independent Immortals. Squeezing another ten thousand people into it would indeed be quite cramped.

True Master Ming Liang had no other choice. No matter what, the elite disciples of his Qingxu Temple must not suffer any mishaps—they were the future of the sect. And since the likes of True Master Chi Yang did not express any objections, after all, the Ten Variations Illusion Array was originally Qingxu Temple’s major formation. They could scarcely criticize the actions of others, could they?

"True Master Chi Yang, brother Daoist Xue Yuyang, with the Independent Demon Army pressing down on us, how should we respond?" True Master Ming Liang asked True Master Chi Yang and the others.

True Master Chi Yang and Xue Yuyang were not only powerful individually, but they also represented the first amongst their respective sects, Purple Sun Sect and Lanyang Sect. That’s why True Master Ming Liang considered their opinions in making decisions.

Xue Yuyang frowned and said, "The enemy’s momentum is ferocious; if killing truly begins, there will be rivers of blood."

"Hmph, there are already rivers," True Master Chi Yang said coldly, "Look at how many have died on Qingxu Mountain already, foes right at our doorstep. And here we are, still hiding within the Ten Variations Illusion Array. I fear that when the time comes, even the Loose Cultivators from the Tenglong Continent and the Chaotic Star Sea will laugh at us."

Xue Yuyang’s expression stiffened.

Cold light flashed in True Master Ming Liang’s eyes. "They’ve come knocking at our door; if we continue to be timid, how can we live with ourselves later? Fine, if they dare to come, we must let them witness our strength."

...

Qin Yu and his party of six were on a tiny mountain thousands of miles away from Qingxu Mountain. With their abilities, their Spiritual Sense could naturally observe the events transpiring at Qingxu Mountain.

At this moment, it wasn’t just Qin Yu and his companions watching intently; many Cultivators, regardless of their power level, as well as some reclusive experts, were also witnessing the drama from afar, and that included Yu Liang and his company.

Tens of thousands of Independent Immortals against tens of thousands of Independent Demons. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Such a spectacle was certainly extraordinary, a scene that many Loose Cultivators would never witness in their lifetime. Hence, it was not surprising that it drew numerous Cultivators as spectators.

"The Independent Immortal camp seems to be setting up an attack array at the forefront of Qingxu Mountain, led by ten thousand lower-level Independent Immortals," Mo Qilin was the first to speak.

Qin Yu and the others nodded in agreement.

By this time, the Independent Immortal side was not attempting to conceal their actions at all, as True Master Ming Liang knew that no formation could be hidden from the likes of Wu Kongxue. Moreover, there was no need to hide such an offensive maneuver.

"An attack array by ten thousand Independent Immortals, what a grand gesture," Qin Yu couldn’t help but commend inwardly.

And at that moment—

A wild wind blew, and the snowflakes on the ground of Qingxu Mountain began to drift upwards. Simultaneously, sounds of breaking space resounded, and a dense mass of figures appeared in the sky, resembling a dark cloud that blanketed the heavens. The overwhelming demonic aura from above sent chills down the spines of Cultivators who had gathered below to spectate.

"The battle begins," Qin Yu’s eyes shone, whispering to himself, "Warriors, fight with all your might. After this battle, I shall present you with a grand gift."

Qin Yu felt exhilarated, watching with the sentiment of a spectator as countless Independent Demons flew close to Qingxu Mountain.

The Independent Immortal and Independent Demon camps.

Suddenly, both sides lit up with dazzling light almost simultaneously—a bright silver from the Independent Immortal side, a dark greenish-black from the Independent Demon side. The silver light was from the attack array formed by ten thousand Independent Immortals, and similarly, the Independent Demon side had formed an attack array composed of several thousand demons.

The two lights converged into two extremely fine beams, colliding with each other.

There was no sound.

At the point of collision, space instantly fractured, opening up a rift several people tall. The rift emitted an enormous suction force.

All within several hundred meters of the rift—be it soil, snowflakes, or stones—was devoured by the rupture, which then returned to normal.

"Kill!"

Shouts of slaughter began to emerge from another direction of Qingxu Mountain; it indicated that a team of Independent Demons had launched an attack from behind, and Qingxu Mountain’s forces were engaging with that demon squad.

"Kill, no holding back, let’s slaughter to our heart’s content," Wu Kongxue roared in madness.

Straightaway, Wu Kongxue, with his massive blood-red clouds covering miles, charged toward Qingxu Mountain, followed by Independent Demons, all of whom were laughing coldly or howling as they attacked Qingxu Mountain.

Cultivators are not like armies. Confining them to fight like troops would only limit their combat abilities. On the contrary, granting each individual freedom to utilize their various methods yields far better results.

...

"Damn it, three against one, go to hell," a demon howled as it self-destructed, and the three equal-level Independent Immortals surrounding it were also blasted to death on the spot.

...

"Wang Lian, I shall avenge the five-hundred-year-old grievance today," an Independent Demon glared furiously at an Independent Immortal. This cultivator was likewise focused on the demon, as both decided to fight to the death.

However—

"Puchi."

A Flying Sword from nowhere pierced through the Independent Demon’s Nascent Soul, killing the demon instantly. It had forgotten that this was a battlefield of tens of thousands of cultivators, where seeking a duel was tantamount to suicide!

...

Flying swords, flames, blood lights, battles underground and in the skies—Qingxu Mountain was engulfed in combat everywhere. Occasionally, space would crack apart, swallowing any nearby Independent Immortals who couldn’t evade in time.

The ordinary Cultivators observing from afar were utterly dumbfounded.

The mad, intense slaughter of tens of thousands of Independent Immortals was too brutal.

Qin Yu, Hou Fei, Hei Yu, and the rest all held their breaths; the savagery of the battle was truly intense. With every Independent Immortal possessing unique methods, various Magic Restrictions, all sorts of Spiritual and Immortal Artifacts, and mysterious formations...

The skies, the mountains, the underground—there was combat everywhere.

Blood dyed the heavens, the mountains, the snowy grounds red... Explosions were nearly continuous, booming as though countless Heavenly Thunders were striking down.
