Chapter 601: Blood Rain Falls from the Sky, the Great Calamity is Imminent

This question left many Immortals lost in deep thought. Indeed, no matter how powerful they were in their past lives, Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan are ultimately just mortals now. Even if they have awakened their divine status, whether they can recover the strength they possessed during the Primordial Era remains an unknown.

The debate grew intense once more, and the entire Lingxiao Hall split into several factions.

The pro-war faction, led by Li Jing, advocated for exhausting the Immortal Realm's strength to fight the Nitian Mozun to the death. "Even if we know we are no match, we must fight for a glimmer of hope for the living beings of the Three Realms!" Li Jing declared passionately.

The pro-peace faction was represented by Taibai Jinxing; they hoped to seek the possibility of negotiation. "Perhaps we can reach some kind of agreement with the Nitian Mozun to avoid a mutually destructive outcome," Taibai Jinxing proposed cautiously.

The neutral faction was led by Guanyin Pusa and Taishang Laojun; they supported uniting the Three Realms to resist the enemy together. "The strength of the Immortal Realm alone is indeed limited, but if we can unite the Human Realm and the purified Mo Jie, perhaps there is still a chance of victory."

The debate lasted for a full three hours; each side had its own reasoning, but no one could convince the others. Seeing the meeting fall into a stalemate, the Jade Emperor finally made a decision.

"Enough!" The Jade Emperor's voice rang through the hall like thunder, instantly suppressing all arguments. "I have decided."

He stood up, his dragon robe fluttering behind him, displaying the majesty of an emperor: "First, dispatch Cihang Xianzi as a special envoy to immediately descend to the mortal world to find the Primordial Immortal Lord and the World-Purifying Immortal, and form the Three Realms Alliance. Second, secretly mobilize the elite of the Immortal Realm and prepare for war in the worst-case scenario. Third, send envoys to the Western Buddhist Realm and other divine realms to secure more support."

"As you command!" the gods replied in unison.

The Jade Emperor's decision was quickly executed. After receiving the order, Cihang Xianzi immediately prepared to descend to the mortal world, the Tianbing and Tianjiang began to assemble in secret, and envoys from various paths set off for other divine realms.

However, just as the meeting was about to conclude, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky.

The originally clear sky instantly turned blood-red, as if stained by fresh blood. Blood-red clouds churned and surged, forming various ominous shapes. Some looked like demons with bared fangs and brandished claws, some like burning skulls, and others like shattered stars.

Even more terrifying was that black rain began to fall from the blood-red sky. This rain was corrosive; upon hitting the ground, it immediately hissed with green smoke and emitted a pungent, foul odor.

"Blood rain falls from the sky, the Great Calamity is imminent!" Taishang Laojun looked at this terrifying scene, his face turning even paler. "This is the Heavenly Dao warning us that there is not much time left for the Three Realms!"

All the Immortals walked out of Lingxiao Hall and looked up at the blood-red sky. They had never seen such a phenomenon, but everyone felt a strong, ominous premonition in their hearts.

"It seems the influence of the Nitian Mozun has already begun to leak out," Guanyin Pusa sighed softly. "The Seal is even more fragile than we imagined."

The Jade Emperor clenched his fists, his eyes burning with firm determination: "Pass down the order to accelerate the progress of all preparations. No matter the cost, we must stop the conspiracy of the Nitian Mozun!"

The blood-red sky lasted for a full hour before slowly dissipating, but this ominous omen had already been deeply imprinted in the heart of every Immortal. The Great Calamity was truly coming, and it was faster and more terrifying than they had anticipated.

The figure of Cihang Xianzi drifted down like a clear breeze, descending above the Alliance Headquarters. This time, her arrival was more formal than the last; she was followed by two Immortal Realm attendants, and in her hands, she held a scroll radiating golden light—it was the alliance treaty signed personally by the Jade Emperor.

"Cihang Xianzi!" Zhang Wuji saw the familiar figure and immediately went to greet her. "Why have you come again? Has some emergency occurred?"

Cihang Xianzi's expression was more solemn than before; she sighed softly: "Alliance Leader Zhang, the situation is more serious than we anticipated. The Immortal Realm has officially confirmed that the Nitian Mozun will break the Seal in two years at most."

This news struck the hearts of everyone present like a bolt from the blue. Zhang Wuji's face instantly turned pale, and the other members of the Alliance also revealed expressions of shock.

"Two years?" a representative of the rogue cultivators asked with a trembling voice. "Immortal, are you talking about that legendary Nitian Mozun?"

"That is correct," Cihang Xianzi nodded. "It is the most powerful rebel from the Primordial Era and once nearly destroyed the entire universe. If it is allowed to break free again, the Three Realms will face total annihilation."

Zhang Wuji took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down: "Immortal, are you here this time hoping that we..."

"Form the Three Realms Alliance," Cihang Xianzi unfurled the golden scroll in her hand. "This is the formal alliance treaty signed personally by the Jade Emperor. The Immortal Realm is willing to form a solid alliance with the Renjian Xiuzhen Jie to jointly resist the coming catastrophe."

The moment the scroll was unfurled, golden light shot out, and the entire hall was enveloped in sacred radiance. The treaty was written in ancient Immortal script with detailed terms, the core of which was: The Immortal Realm was willing to open up part of its Immortal technique heritage and provide support with High-level Magical Artifacts, but in exchange, the Cultivation World must fully cooperate with the Immortal Realm's strategic deployment.

Zhang Wuji read the contents of the treaty carefully, his brow furrowing tighter the more he read. Although the conditions offered by the Immortal Realm were tempting, some of the terms were clearly unfair to the Cultivation World.

"Immortal, this treaty..." Zhang Wuji was just about to raise his objections when he was interrupted by Cihang Xianzi.

"Alliance Leader Zhang, this humble one understands your concerns," Cihang Xianzi said gently. "But now is not the time for bargaining. Once the Nitian Mozun breaks the Seal, it will no longer be a problem for any single realm, but a matter of life and death for the entire universe."

Just then, Taixuan Laozu, Jianchi Laozu, Xinghe Laozu, and the Sect Leaders of other major sects arrived one after another. Having heard that Cihang Xianzi had descended again, they had all set aside their affairs to come and pay their respects.

"Immortal, I represent the Taixuan Sect in stating our position," Taixuan Laozu spoke first. "No matter what support the Immortal Realm needs, we will cooperate fully. The Taixuan Sect is willing to open all its secret vaults and contribute all resources to fight the Mozun."

"Wanjian Valley is the same," Jianchi Laozu followed closely behind. "We are willing to contribute all the divine swords collected through the generations, as long as we can stop the catastrophe from descending."

Other Sect Leaders also expressed their support; faced with such a massive threat, no one dared to take it lightly. Even the rogue cultivators, who usually kept to themselves, expressed their willingness to follow the unified command of the Alliance.

Seeing the Renjian Xiuzhen Jie so united, a trace of relief welled up in Cihang Xianzi's heart. But she knew that the real challenge was yet to come.

"The support of you all makes this humble one feel deeply gratified," Cihang Xianzi said. "But to truly resist the Nitian Mozun, relying on the Immortal Realm and the Human Realm alone is not enough; we also need the participation of the Mo Jie."
