The moment the Tier Three Celestial Demon fell, the Celestial City Peak Elder on the Demon-Suppressing Stake activated a spell. The massive stake instantly descended from the heavens, plunging fiercely into the Demon Fog.

The entire Netherworld Prison Suppression Array shrank several times in an instant, transforming into a sheet of dark golden light that covered Ao Mountain Island. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The other eight branches of the Yinluo Sect immediately broke away from the Grand Array. Many Celestial Demons still emerged from the Demon Fog, but they were all insignificant Tier One Celestial Demons and were quickly wiped out by the Cultivators present.

On Ao Mountain Island, the Demon-Suppressing Stake landed precisely on the void rift that had been torn open by the Resentment Celestial Demon’s phantom. Spiritual Light flickered as a dark golden radiance spread out, sealing the rift.

The Celestial Demons from the Outer Void were finally blocked.

Then, the entire Netherworld Suppression Array began to operate, and the Tier One Celestial Demons on Ao Mountain Island were instantly annihilated in mid-air.

The void around the Demon-Suppressing Stake slowly squirmed as the rift began to heal.

Before long, the void rift was smoothed over as if by an invisible hand, and the demonic presence from the Outer Void vanished completely.

The Demon-Suppressing Stake trembled lightly and "detached" itself from the void.

The Celestial City Peak Elder shrank it, put it away, and then glanced at the several Elders and True Disciples from his own branch. A look of immense relief appeared on all their faces.

"Ao Mountain Island is ruined!"

They sighed softly. The remaining Demon Fog on Ao Mountain Island was still contained by the Netherworld Prison Suppression Array. However, it was now corrupting the island’s flora and fauna, causing all sorts of twisted and chaotic mutations.

The island’s entire Spirit Vein had been tainted by the Demonic Qi from the Outer Void. Before long, it would become a place similar to the Earth Abyss.

This Demonic Qi was extremely difficult to eradicate. It would use the Tier Three Spirit Vein on Ao Mountain Island to continuously generate more of itself.

Any living creature that entered this place was at risk of being corrupted by the Demonic Qi.

Even Cultivators would need to constantly channel their Protective Spiritual Light to resist the Demonic Qi.

The only solution was to seal this place with a Grand Array for a long time.

Of course, for Yinluo Sect Disciples who practiced Demon Skills and needed Demonic Qi to cultivate Divine Techniques or perform Artifact Refining, this place had now become a treasure trove.

That, however, is a story for another time.

...

After the Demon-Suppressing Stake landed, the Seven Kills Array detached from the Netherworld Suppression Array.

The Grand Array dissipated, revealing Cai Li and the Seven Fierce of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Cai Li’s gaze swept over the five figures in the distance who were battling the Dong Family Elders. A murderous intent instantly appeared on her face.

Without any perceptible movement, she vanished.

Immediately after, a low peal of thunder boomed across the sky.

Sword Qi Thunder Sound!

An invisible, formless flash of sharp Sword Qi streaked across the heavens. It roamed through the air, and in just the blink of an eye, it had slain all five of the nun’s Demon Dao avatars one by one.

This Sword Cultivator from Demon Lion Peak, whose Cultivation was second only to Sun Fuguo’s, was clearly enraged.

After she finished off the nun’s Demon Dao avatars, she followed the aura of the clash between Sun Fuguo and the nun. With a flash of her Sword Qi, she shot into the sky.

Fang Cheng stood in the void. After seeing Cai Li make her move, he unhesitatingly summoned the first Dream Spirit he had obtained some time ago.

He said to the paper figure, "Daoist Brother, I’ll have to trouble you to go and lend my Master a hand."

The paper figure nodded. With a flash of light, it soared into the sky.

Although this Dream Spirit had only been developed to the Peak of Life Talisman Cultivation, its accumulated power had reached an inconceivable level.

Back when Fang Cheng had asked if a single strike from it could threaten a Life Soul Cultivator, it had said it was a little lacking. Now, it seemed that was just a humble understatement.

The power of the Nine Divine King Seals in this world was indeed far greater than Fang Cheng had anticipated.

...

The Celestial City Peak Elder led everyone away from Ao Mountain Island. Without immediately retracting the Netherworld Suppression Array, he shouted in a deep voice, "The Flame God Palace is taking advantage of our crisis to attack our sect! Everyone, follow me back to Yinluo Island to support our fellow sect members!"

Everyone’s expression turned grim.

They had all clearly seen the Flame God Palace’s Red Sun Divine Tree streak across the sky, and they had all felt the terrifying Spiritual Qi fluctuations that followed.

This calamity for the Yinluo Sect had truly caught them all off guard.

If they could survive this calamity...

The Celestial City Peak Elder then took a grayish-white stone bridge from his storage bag. He tossed it into the air and pointed a finger at it!

The stone bridge instantly grew in the air, expanding to a hundred zhang in length and hovering motionlessly in the void.

The bridge was arched, and its stone railings were carved with all sorts of ferocious demonic monsters, giving it a strange quality of fading into the void.

It was none other than the Yinluo Sect’s signature Magical Artifact, the Bridge of Helplessness!

The bridge before them was one of the treasures of Celestial City Peak. It had belonged to a Supreme Elder from the Yinluo Sect’s history and was a Third-tier Magical Artifact of the middle grade.

The Celestial City Peak Elder called for everyone to get on the Bridge of Helplessness. The ancient stone bridge then traversed the void, leaving a trail of afterimages before vanishing completely.

Fang Cheng knew he couldn’t interfere in the fight with Sun Fuguo and Cai Li for the time being. Sending the Dream Spirit to look for an opportunity to strike was the most he could do.

Now, he, Feng Ziang, and the others boarded the Bridge of Helplessness, rushing toward Yinluo Island along with the Elders and True Disciples from the other eight peaks.

In the blink of an eye, the Bridge of Helplessness emerged from the void.

A searing wave of heat washed over them. Before them stood a colossal Divine Tree, its canopy like a dome, its fiery light as brilliant as the sun, radiating an astonishingly high temperature.

Beneath the Divine Tree, a Demon Light Sky Curtain, riddled with holes, was on the verge of collapse.

Below, Yinluo Island was in chaos. Fire Leaves swirled and shot through the air, smashing and igniting the island’s trees, buildings, and rocks.

Many Outer Elders and True Disciples were injured or even killed in the violent assault.

Only a few places, such as the Scripture Hall and Ancestral Hall on Celestial City Peak, were protected by Third-tier Magical Artifacts, which firmly blocked the assault of the Divine Tree’s Fire Leaves.
