Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

"No, we can't wait to die!"

"Everyone, attack together—fight to the death!"

"Right, let's go all out!"

At this moment, no one was willing to sit and await death.

Even if the opponent was a ten-thousand-zhang-tall Tu Soil God, even if it was Lu Chen Yuan at the peak of Void Refinement, even if the odds of victory were slim, compared to becoming nourishment for the other side's tribulation transcendence, the vast majority of cultivators, even if they exhausted the last bit of their mana, would fight for a sliver of life.

The high levels of the various cultivation factions rose into the air one after another, their figures gathering like flowing light above Dongyu, facing off against the Tu Soil God and Lu Chen Yuan from afar.

Leading them was Xuan Yan. Although Sect Master Chao Jin was absent and Dongting Immortal Sect had already split, he was still the most responsible person.

Immediately, his mana surged throughout his body, and behind him appeared a deity with no specific face, instead adorned with stars across the vast sky. Law power and Dao rhythm flowed endlessly, each star emitting a tremendous pressure. This deity was named "Zhou Tian Star Ancestor."

"Fellow Daoists, today Lu Chen Yuan brings chaos to Tianyuan, and the Tu Soil God slaughters living beings. If we do not join hands to resist, we will surely face utter disaster!"

"Everyone, activate your magic treasures, great killing weapons, divine abilities, deities, and Dharma Aspects—attack together with all our strength. Even if we exhaust our cultivation, we must stop him!"

"Elder Xuan speaks extremely correctly. Today, we will fight this scoundrel to the death!"

As soon as his voice fell, Immortal Maiden Qingyue was surrounded by pure moonlight around her body, and behind her appeared a full-moon Moon Goddess deity. Wherever the moonlight shone, the entire Tianyuan Realm became gentle, and all things appeared hazy.

But it wasn't over yet. Next, she waved her jade hand, and a sword of pure white floated above her head, its sword body flowing with clear, cold moonlight.

This was the sect-protecting magic treasure of the Inviting Moon Immortal Sect, the Moon Soul Sword.

Seeing this, Zhao Tianxiong did the same, and a deity appeared behind him.

This deity wore purple-gold dragon scale armor, held the God-Subduing Mountain in his left hand, and gripped the Dragon Roar Shaking Heaven Spear in his right. Nine golden dragons coiled around his body, dragon might and mountain pressure intertwined, echoing from afar with Xuan Yan's Zhou Tian Star Ancestor and Immortal Maiden Qingyue's Moon Goddess deity. It was named "God-Subduing Mountain-Shaking Heaven Dragon Venerable."

Seeing Dongting Immortal Sect, Inviting Moon Immortal Sect, and Longhu Immortal Sect, the Three Great Immortal Sects all emerged.

Following closely behind, the high levels of the various sects and cultivation clans began to act one after another.

Qingmu Sect: the towering green wood, standing like a mountain, suddenly trembled.

In an instant, the tree trunk roared, the tree crown broke through the cloud layer, and charged straight into the sky.

Countless roots surged like flood dragons, tearing apart the earth, while branches spread out into a canopy of ten thousand li, for a time obscuring the sun and moon.

Ten thousand green lights fell like waterfalls. Wherever the green light reached, withered trees met spring.

The Sect Master of the Dingdan Sect suddenly sacrificed the sect-protecting pill furnace.

The furnace was one zhang three cun high, with three legs and two ears. Ancient runes were engraved on the furnace body, now illuminated translucent by divine fire. The entire pill furnace was like a scorching sun fallen into the mortal world.

The moment the furnace lid slightly opened, nine layers of divine fire appeared in succession.

First layer: Mortal Dust Fire, red as blood.

Second layer: Earth Pulse Fire, orange like amber.

Third layer: Ling Wood Fire, green like bamboo.

Fourth layer: Xuan Water Fire, secluded like the deep sea.

Fifth layer: Golden Gang Fire, white gold like a sword.

Sixth layer: Netherworld Fire, purple-black like ink.

Seventh layer: Chaos Fire, gray-white like mist.

Eighth layer: Creation Fire, colorless and formless.

Ninth layer: Dao Fire, using "Dao" as fuel and "cause and effect" as the wick, only then can a wisp be ignited.

The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion activated the Heavenly Secrets Compass. The compass spun rapidly, and golden patterns appeared one after another, attempting to deduce a way to break the deadlock.

However, every single one broke midway. The Heavenly Dao was disrupted, and they actually could not deduce a way out.

Powerful experts from many secluded clans activated their deities and Dharma Aspects one after another.

A golden lion shattered the void and let out a long howl to the sky.

The tail of a nine-tailed immortal fox swept across the horizon, each tail dragging a river of stars.

A three-headed, six-armed demon god phantom crawled out of the abyss, each of its six arms holding a magic tool.

Divine beasts, immortal venerables, and demons—dozens of deities appeared simultaneously. For a time, spiritual light shot into the sky, the entire Dongyu was illuminated in dazzling colors, and space itself twisted.

The remaining cultivators activated their mana, and various spells and divine abilities erupted with a boom.

Someone tore open a void rift, from which countless wind blades surged out.

Someone condensed a ball of Karma Fire in their palm. It did not burn the flesh body, but specifically burned cause and effect.

Someone unleashed a bolt of lightning. Not ordinary lightning, but tribulation lightning that only appears in heavenly tribulations. With a flash of purple light, the void within a hundred li trembled.

For a time, deafening sounds continued without cease. Countless spells burst forth, spiritual light exploded, energy shockwaves swept in all directions, and even the void trembled violently without rest.

Such momentum could be called the greatest in Tianyuan Realm in thousands of years.

But even so, when everyone's attacks landed on the Tu Soil God, they only splashed up foul-smelling rotten mud, and in the end not a trace was left.

The Tu Soil God's ten-thousand-zhang body stood in Dongyu, continuously absorbing Earth Pulse Power. Overall, it was as impregnable as a wall of bronze and iron. Those seemingly infinitely powerful attacks, landing on it, were like a mayfly shaking a tree, appearing to have no effect whatsoever.

Afterward, Lu Chen Yuan's palm dragon pearl light surged violently, and an invisible suction erupted, sweeping toward Xuan Yan, Immortal Maiden Qingyue, and the others.

This suction was not wind, not airflow, but a pulling force on the level of laws.

Within a thousand li, the void began to collapse inward and sink, as if an invisible giant hand had grasped space itself and ruthlessly kneaded it into a ball.

A Void Refinement venerable's expression suddenly changed: "My mana is being lost!"

Actually, not just him. Everyone present discovered that the mana, law power, and even the Dao rhythm nurtured for years within their bodies were all uncontrollably surging toward Lu Chen Yuan's palm dragon pearl. No matter how they resisted, it was all useless.

Xuan Yan activated the Zhou Tian Star Ancestor, attempting to resist this suction, but the deity's light kept dimming, and the mana within his body was also rapidly being lost. He immediately spoke in a deep voice: "Lu Chen Yuan is borrowing the power of the dragon pearl to draw out our law power and Dao rhythm, thus using it to impact the Unity Stage!"

The Moon God deity of Immortal Maiden Qing Yue also began to turn illusory, the moonlight dimming: "His realm is too high, and the Dragon Pearl's power is too terrifying; our resistance has no effect whatsoever!"

In a brief moment, the numerous cultivators all turned pale, their auras withering.

Some Nascent Soul cultivators, because their mana drained too rapidly, directly exploded and died.

Some Spirit Severing cultivators then suffered a cultivation drop, temporarily falling from the Spirit Severing stage to the Nascent Soul stage.

Xuan Yan, Immortal Maiden Qing Yue, and the others, though exerting their full strength, also found it difficult to stop the mana loss; Law Power was lacking, and the Dao resonance grew increasingly faint.

Everyone, despite clearly giving their all, could not even injure a single hair on Lu Chen Yuan, but instead became nourishment for the other party's cultivation improvement.

This sense of powerlessness is more maddening than death!

Lu Chen Yuan looked at the masses struggling bitterly below, his eyes full of mockery: "You ants were originally this seat's nourishment on the path to crossing the Calamity.

Today, let you all assist this seat in breaking through to the Unity stage!"

The light of the Dragon Pearl in his palm grew increasingly brilliant, the suction also becoming increasingly powerful; more and more cultivators were drained of mana and perished on the spot!
