Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!-Chapter 681 - 411: Qi Longhu recites the Taoist sacrifice text, demons approach, the world changes, evil shadows, fortune, and the Taoist Priest comes down from the mountain_3

"Alright, everyone, listen to Third Brother. Let's put in some extra effort."

The group, equipped with some heterodox techniques, tightened the bundles hidden beneath their clothing and resumed their bustling efforts in excavating the tomb, drilling the shaft straight and narrow.

Soon enough, they broke through to a burial chamber which, by that time, had already been cleared out of looters; even the coffin lid had fallen to the ground. Atop the coffin, a large toad's eyes emitted a faint green glow.

"So, this is the hive that Old Chen spent nearly half a year scouting?" The last big lizard we encountered was at least uniquely appealing and fetched a pretty penny. What use have they for this big toad now?

"It must be a feint—a deliberate distraction," proclaimed Chen, circling the coffin with a grave expression. He tapped gently with his pickaxe around the tomb, and when he struck the center, a dull, hollow sound echoed back.

"Everyone come quick! There's more behind this tomb. Indeed, there's a tomb within the tomb. Let's keep digging." A look of excitement spread across Chen's face.

The rest of the gang couldn't help but cheer. "Brother Chen is cracking a tough one! I spoke too loud just now. I almost thought that big toad was our Third Little Sister!"

Old buck-toothed Deng was also bursting with excitement.

Just as the group was gearing up for a big job, suddenly, a rush of footsteps approached. They immediately stopped and exchanged glances.

"Third Brother, what… what's that sound? We, mere heterodox cultivators, aren't cut out for this kind of major enterprise."

"Then why the hell aren't you running? Buck-toothed Deng, stop fucking around with that toad. Go!"

The tomb raiders turned to flee, their movements couldn't be faster, but it was already too late.

Boom!

The stone wall right in front of the burial chamber suddenly burst open, and a figure with a scarlet head and human body dashed out from the gap.

"Human Realm! This is the Human Realm; I can already smell the humans~"

"My minions, join me, Marlo! Kill them, plunder their flesh and souls, and build the Demon Pool to bring over the elders from behind."

A gleeful voice sounded from the mouth of the beast.

Suddenly, portals opened all over the Human Realm, and figures wrapped in demonic Qi stepped out from the dark portals. Demonkin and numerous ferocious beasts from the Demon Realm were driven by the Demonkin into the Human Realm.

Upon seeing the unfamiliar scenery, they could not help but let out earth-shaking roars. After deeply inhaling the fragrance of the soil, they immediately ran towards the direction where the 'human scent' was strongest.

The same transformation was occurring over Central Continent and Western Lands.

"Burn incense for prayer, offer sincerity in sacrifices, humbly providing a feast for the Heavenly Gods and True Persons."

As Qi Longhu's voice fell, he stepped back into formation, and Heavenly Master Zhang Taichu's aged voice rose again.

"With the rites complete, everyone join me to activate the Array Plate, channel Mana into the Celestial Turtle Shell to divine auspicious and ominous signs."

As he spoke, the array activated.

Suddenly, a huge golden eight-trigram symbol appeared in the sky, with a sacred dragon and a majestic tiger positioned at the delineation of the yin and yang, their auras connected, looking at each other from afar.

Under the Heavenly Master's direction, numerous beams of Mana shot up into the sky, infusing into the giant golden eight-trigram symbol. Then, the sacred dragon and majestic tiger opened their mouths wide, and two beams of extremely pure golden light accurately landed on the giant Celestial Turtle Shell on the ground.

Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen... Golden seal scripts lit up one after another in each direction, as a golden needle began to gather and spin under a mysterious force.

The cultivators looked up, silently awaiting the result from the Celestial Turtle Shell. However, eerily, the golden needle spun faster and faster, becoming almost like a pinwheel with no indication of stopping.

"What… what does this mean? What sort of omen is this?"

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but whisper, apparently baffled.

"Silence!"

"A few anomalies mean nothing. With Dragon Tiger Mountain's millennia of foundation and numerous contingencies, how could we not withstand any disaster?"

Heavenly Master Zhang Taichu maintained a calm demeanor, and his presence remained towering. He spoke in a low voice, reprimanding.

"Master is right! As long as we, the disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain, unite, there is no hurdle we cannot overcome."

"Master, I will go now to calm the junior brothers and sisters at the foot of the mountain, to soothe their agitation."

Qi Longhu stepped forward, responding loudly.

Looking at his key disciple, whose face was filled with steady resolve, Zhang Taichu nodded in satisfaction.

"Good, my disciple, go ahead."

At that moment, suddenly, the unflappable Zhang Taichu's expression dramatically changed.

Because the Celestial Turtle Shell had exploded.

Golden light burst forth.

The golden radiance, like endless ripples, swept over the entire Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Celestial Turtle Shell, shattered!

A grave danger amidst dangers!

Under the sweeping dense golden light, the old Celestial Master Zhang Ji Shi's complexion fluctuated rapidly, and the qualified individuals on Tianxuan Peak revealed their vile true forms.

"How dare you, evil spirit! I sensed something wrong with my elder brother previously, but I never imagined your evil spirit still had such capabilities. If it weren't for the demon-purging golden light, who knows how long you would have run amok," Zhang Taichu rose into the air and furiously chastised the now visibly vile Zhang Ji Shi.

At that moment, Qian Xuanzi, enveloped in golden light, suddenly appeared.

"Ancestoral Master has arrived, everyone stay calm. Disciples below the level of True Monarch, follow me and retreat to the Celestial Master Hall to fortify."

Qi Longhu spoke again, his demeanor calm and revealing a commanding presence.

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened.

In the distance, space peeled away like glass, revealing a dark, gigantic portal. Numerous Demon Soldiers surged out like a tide, led by a demonic figure cloaked in a blood-red cape.

For a moment, the cultivators of Dragon Tiger Mountain's expressions changed once again.

However, that was not the end. The sky suddenly turned pitch black, and when the light finally scattered across the land once more,

underneath a crooked tree on Tianxuan Peak, a sudden cackle erupted, a powerful evil intent sweeping across all directions...

Great Qin・Imperial Palace.

Yi Chen was staring blankly at the recently brightened sky when Emperor Qin Ying Si, his face ashen, suddenly appeared by his side.

"State Preceptor, I have just received the highest-level message from the Message Transmission Formation. Such formations are not activated unless it is a matter of life and death. The message indicates, 'Demonkin invasion! Danger! Danger! Danger!'"

"Ah? Wasn't the sky changing just now because of evil demons from beyond our realm?"

"Forget it, it's the same with Demonkin. I can depart immediately. This sort of heretical power must be eradicated!"

Thinking of the eighty thousand Deep Red Points he still had left, the State Preceptor of Great Qin immediately felt a rush of excitement, his killing intent soaring!

Demonkin? That works too!

He, World-Shaking Pure Yang, isn't picky—once they're in the basket, they are his prey!

Let's do this!
