Fujian Province, Changhua Prefecture, Lianjiang County.

Afternoon breeze is clear.

Over a hundred fishermen are shirtless, their skin weathered by years of sea wind glowing darkly under the sun, busily handling their desires.

Common folk rely on the mountains if near them, and the waters if near them.

Fujian Province boasts the longest coastline, and the people living here make their living by going to sea to fish and catch seafood.

Protruding reefs resound with a thunderous echo under the assault of the waves.

Three silhouettes invisible to the naked eye stood with their hands behind their backs atop these reefs, their eyes containing divine light, gazing toward the distant horizon, seemingly waiting for something.

"Something's wrong. According to the Dao Alliance's calculations, those Demonic Evil Cultivators should have arrived yesterday.

This is one of their landing points, yet after such a long time, there's not a single trace.

Could it be that the Dao Alliance made a miscalculation?"

Gazing at the unchanged sea surface, a middle-aged man with a refined look, wearing a green-brown robe and long beard hanging to his chest, furrowed his brow.

Song Qing.

Leader of the Vast Cloud Temple, one of the Ten Great Sects of Fujian Province.

He is also the Primordial Spirit True Honor designated by the Dao Alliance to monitor the landing points frequently watched by the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

"Logically, it shouldn't be. The Heavenly Mechanism Hall of the Dao Alliance contains a scroll of the Heavenly Dao List, capable of deducing past and future, beyond the heavens.

Now, it merely calculates the landing points of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, there's no reason for it to be wrong." Another Sect Master of the Astral Projection Sect, He Changxiao shook his head.

"This sudden mobilization by the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains is shrouded in mystery; I believe things aren't that simple." Elder Yanluo of the Ten Thousand Dharma Return to Dust Sect said, frowning.

Meanwhile.

The thirteen landing points of the Demonic Evil Cultivators deduced by the Dao Alliance through divination and calculations all, without exception, showed no trace of even a single demon.

It was as though the group of Demonic Evil Cultivators that set out from the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains had all vanished into thin air.

"Could it be that they encountered some calamity mid-journey and perished at sea?"

This thought was immediately dismissed.

Hundred Thousand Great Mountains' mobilization to the sea may appear unaccompanied by a Primordial Spirit Demon Ancestor, but in truth, surely there is someone in the Primordial Spirit Realm watching over.

Even if they encountered something at sea, Hundred Thousand Great Mountains wouldn't stand idly by while such a large number of Demonic Evil Cultivators are annihilated.

"So where did these demons go?"

An inexplicable question lingered in the hearts of all Primordial Spirit True Honors, as the calamity commenced, chaos in the heavenly mechanism reached a climax, rendering all methods of divination and yang calculation to be ineffective.

If it weren't for having the Heavenly Dao List at hand, the Dao Alliance wouldn't be able to calculate the landing points of the Demonic Evil Cultivators.

But now the Dao Alliance's calculations didn't just fail, it also entirely lost track of those Demonic Evil Cultivators.

Yet just as everyone debated and pondered their next move.

A large number of Primordial Spirit True Honors simultaneously received messages from the Ancient Sect Nobility under them, and the messages were strikingly similar.

"For unknown reasons, a large appearance of Demonic Evil Cultivators suddenly occurred within the province!"

This news instantly shocked the Primordial Spirit True Honors within the Dao Alliance, they hadn't expected that these Demonic Evil Cultivators they were arduously searching for would suddenly appear within inland provinces.

"Every coastal province of Linghang, Fujian, and Liaodong, we've stationed people to monitor the seas day and night.

How did these Demonic Evil Cultivators leap over the coast and directly land inland?"

"Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon Suppressing Divine Shuttle!"

In the crowd, a small inconspicuous figure suddenly spoke, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

"He is... Shangguan Taibao of the Wanli Shenxing Sect?"

Shangguan Taibao's reminder made many Primordial Spirit True Honors nod in agreement after a slight surprise.

"That's right, only this Acquired Divine Instrument can ignore any restriction methods, spanning the void of space.

Furthermore, the internal space of this treasure is vast enough to house that one billion demons without a problem.

Thus, those demons didn't appear in various places of Central Earth simultaneously, but were transported there one by one by the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon Suppressing Divine Shuttle."

The trail of the Demonic Evil Cultivators was confirmed; the Primordial Spirit True Honors no longer hesitated, transformed and soared, each returning to their Ancient Sect Nobility to prepare to exterminate these Demonic Evil Cultivators.

Four hundred Demon Kings, a hundred thousand Bloodstained Great Demons, plus a full billion Little Demons, evidently this is an immensely arduous battle.

Fortunately, with the prior notification from the Dao Alliance, all provinces were already prepared.

Though the appearance of the Demonic Evil Cultivators was more sudden than anticipated, it didn't leave them helpless.

Ninth day of September, Double Ninth Festival!

In the realm of Central Earth, the One Capital and Thirteen Provinces erupted in warfare, the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains amassed an overwhelming number of Demonic Evil Cultivators.

Almost within a single day, it spread rapidly.

Thankfully, the human race had long ceased internal warfare, and with the All Beings Alliance as a jewel beforehand, the cooperation within the provincial cultivation sectors prevented the malicious sudden attack from causing significant damage.

Additionally, the Fan Town Jiedushi from each region, eager to demonstrate before the Dao Alliance.

Faced with the opportunity before them, they joined the battle without hesitation.

In an instant, this sudden skirmish invisibly integrated the two greatest forces within the Human Race, united against the enemy!

...

Dao Alliance, Heavenly Mechanism Hall.

Alone in the great hall, Qinglian Sword Venerable gazed steadily at the Heavenly Dao List before him.

This scroll possesses no grade, no offensive or defensive capability, yet it is the most important item of the Dao Alliance, and now unknowingly has cracked in many places.

Yellow and blotchy marks spread across its surface.

The clear characters have become blurred, distorted, as if weathered by time, gradually fading.

The Heavenly Dao Self-Bound has inevitably affected this divine marvel.

After a long silence, Qinglian Sword Venerable slightly furrowed his brow, yet still raised his right hand, casting a Dharma Seal into the Heavenly Dao List.

This divine object's dispersion is already destined.

Given that, let it be used for one last deduction for the Human Race.

In that instance!

On the mottled surface of this Heavenly Dao List, lines of tiny characters began to slowly emerge, these characters small as fly heads, constantly colliding, and with the passage of time, more and more characters gradually faded.

What remained was the result of Qinglian Sword Venerable's deduction.

With keen eyes, he gazed at the Heavenly Dao List, as if afraid he couldn't see clearly, he subconsciously stepped forward two steps.

Yet just as the remaining characters gradually stabilized, about to reveal the problem deduced by Qinglian Sword Venerable.

An intense, chilling sense of crisis suddenly changed Qinglian Sword Venerable's expression, his body abruptly retreated.

Sudden—

In the next instant!

The tip of a sword suddenly pierced through this Heavenly Dao List, then violently twisted, shredding the divine marvel capable of deducing the world's opportunities into countless fragments.

"What I intend to do, you cannot stop.

Today is merely a warning.

I don't wish to kill you, but should you remain obstinate, I'll slaughter the entire human race!"

The indifferent, cold voice cut through layers of space, reverberating within the Heavenly Mechanism Hall.

And at this moment, as Qinglian Sword Venerable watched the Heavenly Dao List turn to fragments, hearing the never-ending echo of warning, his usually stern and keen eyes now unavoidably showed a trace of fatigue.
