With the arrival of five additional Eternals, the atmosphere in the world grew increasingly oppressive.

"We have come uninvited. Please forgive us if we have disturbed you all."

An elderly-looking man in a yellow robe, looking frail and aged, was the first to arrive. He bowed respectfully to the Will Dharma Forms of the four founders. "In terms of seniority, the four of you are sages on the path of the Eternal Stage. Although your true forms are not present, you are still worthy of our respect."

"If you truly admire us, you shouldn’t have come here to cause trouble!" Up until now Yuan Chu had been all smiles, even remaining unfazed by the confrontation between Tian Wu and Shi. Things had changed; he now had a very gloomy expression on his face.

The old man in the yellow robe smiled slightly and said, "If Senior is willing to back down and hand over that Fangchun Mountain successor named Lin Xun, I will leave immediately."

"You make demands as soon as you arrive? It seems your Yuan Clan truly hates Fangchun Mountain to the core. Did the Master of Fangchun Mountain smash your gates back in the Ninth Heaven Domain?" Xu Yin sneered.

The old man in the yellow robe frowned and said, "I respect Senior as a sage, but if Senior doesn't respect himself, then I can no longer be polite."

"Oh, why don't you try being rude then?" Xu Yin smiled broadly. "Come, come, let's have a go. Even if I can't kill you, shattering a few pieces of your Eternal dao foundation is no problem."

The old man in the yellow robe narrowed his eyes, his gaze turning to the Zen Sect’s founder, Shi. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The monk calmly said, "With me here, the old daoist priest probably won't have the chance to do this. On the contrary, once the war starts, these five fellow cultivators from the Ninth Heaven Domain can seize the opportunity to infiltrate the Origin Sect. Everyone should know what the consequences are if that happens."

His declaration made the atmosphere in the area even more oppressive, tense, and on the verge of breaking out into direct conflict.

At this moment, Lin Xun had already learned the identities of the five Eternals from Xuan Feiling. There were four men and one woman. They all came from Eternal Divine Clans: the Yuan Clan, the Cang Clan, the Taihao Clan, the Panwu Clan, and the Jue Clan.

The yellow-robed elder who had spoken earlier was an Eternal from the Yuan Clan named Yuan Feihu. The other three men and one woman were Cang Xiongtu, Panwu Xingyuan, Jue Bihai, and Taihao Hanwei.

Lin Xun had seen Taihao Hanwei before. Back in the Sixth Heaven Domain, he had killed one of her Will Dharma Forms.

Upon their arrival, these Eternals meticulously concealed their auras, clearly fearing a backlash from the laws of heaven and earth. However, everyone knew that their mere presence here indicated they no longer truly cared about such things.

As Lin Xun watched this his chest tightened with increasing unease. Only now did he realize he had underestimated the resolve of these enemies.

On the surface, they had deployed a group of Transcendence Stage monsters who carried numerous Eternal Will Dharma Forms. However, their true trump card was the Will Dharma Forms two founding ancestors and these five Eternals from the Ninth Heaven Domain!

It could be said that the situation was now completely unfavorable to the Origin Sect. Anyone witnessing such a scene would likely feel helpless and desperate.

“The choice is in your Origin Sect’s hands. We have come here only for Lin Xun, a disciple of Fangchun Mountain. A step back will ensure the safety of your Origin Sect!” The Shaman Sect’s founder’s words were resounding and cold.

"Take a step back?" Yuan Chu's expression was indifferent. "If I retreat, then what's the point of living?"

"Then let's fight!" Tian Wu's aura was menacing.

Shi said calmly, "Now we know that the Origin Sect is destined to be wiped out from the world today. What a pity..."

"The Origin Sect and Fangchun Mountain are in cahoots, so naturally they cannot exist in this world anymore." The yellow-robed elder, Yuan Feihu, remained indifferent. The other four Eternals beside him also had chilling glints in their eyes.

"If you want to destroy the Origin Sect, then first ask if I, Taixuan, agree to it!"

Suddenly, the void trembled, and a majestic figure appeared, dressed in hemp robes, with countless sword qi forming a blur behind him. It was none other than Taixuan, the pavilion master of Origin Emptiness Pavilion!

Lin Xun's heart skipped a beat, but he felt no joy. He knew that Taixuan had confined himself to the Wuxuan Forbidden Land to comprehend the great dao. Now he had been forced to emerge. His over ten thousand years of painstaking effort would likely be in vain...

The look in Yuan Chu's eyes became complex. "The battle hasn't even been decided yet, but you've already rushed out. A bit too hasty."

Taixuan laughed heartily. "It's all the same sooner or later. It's just a fight to the death. A grand spectacle is fine too."

With Taixuan's appearance, Tian Wu and the others in the distance narrowed their eyes.

"You alone can't change today's situation," Tian Wu finally said coldly.

Taixuan smiled. "Why should I care about that? When I die, I'll make sure to take a few more down with me."

This statement made Yuan Feihu and the others frown deeply. An Eternal fighting desperately, disregarding their life or death...was indeed very troublesome!

"Is that so? Then you can wait to be buried with the Origin Sect." Tian Wu's voice was ruthless.

"Count me in this battle too." Suddenly, a solitary and majestic voice rang out, and the gaunt figure of Origin Sky Pavilion Master Yan Ji appeared.

Lin Xun and Xuan Feiling both paled. You Beihai was undergoing his Eternal Tribulation, yet Yan Ji had arrived here. Who would guard the Origin World now?

"Has your cultivation issue been resolved?” asked Yuan Chu.

Yan Ji replied, "Only some minor ailments remain; they won't affect my combat ability."

Yuan Chu sighed. "Alas, it's my fault for leaving in such a hurry back then; otherwise, perhaps you wouldn't have developed this deviation."

Yan Ji smiled, "Fortune and misfortune are intertwined. This issue, for me, was actually a blessing in disguise, allowing me to finally understand where I should go in the Eternal Stage."

Yuan Chu said no more, his gaze fixed on the distance. He seemed to have made up his mind, his entire being appearing open-minded and calm. He said, "Come on, let's fight to the death! Even if the Origin Sect is destroyed today, when my true body returns from the All-Wonder Dominion, I will definitely visit your treasured lands!"

His voice was laced with ruthlessness. Tu Muhun, Jikong, and the others felt a chill run down their spines, their expressions changing slightly.

Then Tian Wu sneered, "Within a thousand years, the epochal calamity will descend, the world will change, and the past will be destroyed. At that time, whether you, Old Yuan Chu, will still be able to survive the Great Silence Unlife Calamity is another matter entirely. How hilarious is it that you threaten revenge now!"

Shi came to a decision. "Fellow Daoists of the Ninth Heaven Domain, Yuan Chu and Xu Yin will be dealt with by Tian Wu and myself. Two of you will deal with Taixuan and Yan Ji, and the rest of you can take this opportunity to capture Lin Xun and infiltrate the Origin Sect."

"Agreed!"

Yuan Feihu and the others nodded. The world seemed to grow tense and deadly; a great battle was imminent. Lin Xun and Xuan Feiling both felt their hearts sink to rock bottom.

Just then, a light, arrogant laugh rang out. "What's the rush? Do you really think Fangchun Mountain has no one to guard them?"

Boom!

The world trembled, and dao light scattered. A handsome figure, resembling a young man, appeared. Although his aura was extremely restrained, the presence of someone at the Eternal Stage was still terrifyingly powerful.

"Martial Uncle Kong Jue!" Lin Xun's eyes lit up.

Yan Ji seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, smiling as he spoke, "I knew you would show up."

Kong Jue remarked, "My martial nephew has been protected by your Origin Sect all these years. How could I, Kong Jue, stand idly by after receiving such a great favor?"

Tian Wu frowned and asked, "When did Old Bodhi gain a junior brother?"

The others were also puzzled. It wasn't that they didn't recognize Kong Jue, but rather that they were unaware of when Kong Jue became Lin Xun's martial uncle, or even the junior brother of the Lord of Fangchun Mountain.

"My affairs with Brother Bodhi are my own. What business is it of yours?" Kong Jue rolled his eyes. "Didn't you want a fight? Let's have a good fight today. That way. even if we die, we'll have no regrets!"

Kong Jue's appearance had surprised Tian Wu, Yuan Feihu, and the others, but they weren't particularly concerned. To them, he was simply another opponent at the Eternal Stage. In the current situation, they still held an absolute advantage!

"Heh, I understand now. Today's calamity, seemingly instigated by You Beihai and orchestrated against Lin Xun, is actually a grand scheme with you old fogies woven in it. The epochal calamity will inevitably descend within a thousand years. From my understanding, there is only one reason you'd all unite so shamelessly at such a crucial time."

Xu Yin then laughed, seemingly having seen through something. He pointed to the depths of the sky. "Let me guess, isn't it because of the hidden dark hand behind everything?"

His words were like a thunderbolt coming down from a clear sky! The entire area fell silent. Lin Xun was startled. All of this was the work of the dark mastermind behind the epochal calamities?!

The expressions of Yuan Chu, Taixuan, Yan Ji, Kong Jue, and the others had become uncertain and their brows furrowed. Xu Yin's words were like an arrow piercing through a thick fog, allowing them to see something entirely different.

In the distance, the expressions of Tian Wu, Shi, Yuan Feihu, and the others varied. Each seemed to conceal countless secrets, which was intriguing and thought-provoking.

Lin Xun's heart thumped. If this were true, then the currents behind today's disaster would be far more terrifying than he had previously imagined!

Tian Wu sneered, breaking the silence. "You old fogey, the epochal calamity hasn't even arrived yet, but you're already spouting alarmist rhetoric? It's utterly hilarious. What makes the Origin Sect so powerful that it would be targeted by that dark mastermind?"

"If a force within the Origin Sect could threaten that dark mastermind, it would naturally be targeted." Xu Yin's eyes flashed. "Otherwise, why would you old bastards, each having lived for countless years, already beyond the Eternal Stage, go to such lengths to deal with a mere disciple of Fangchun Mountain?"

This accusation made the atmosphere even more mysterious and oppressive. Everyone understood that Xu Yin was implying that Lin Xun likely possessed a power capable of threatening the dark hand behind the scenes! This was unbelievable.

Lin Xun himself was stunned, finding it hard to believe.

"The Divine Rank law power in Lin Xun's possession is indeed priceless, but it's far from enough to cause the current situation. Therefore there’s only one possibility left: the lotus that the Lord of Fangchun Mountain was waiting for, or rather, the Eternal Supremacy Path that this boy is on, is a potential latent threat to this mastermind!"

Xu Yin's expression was calm as his voice echoed through the heavens and earth, "Only this situation would cause the Shaman Sect, Zen Sect, and even the Ninth Heaven Domain to be so restless, staging this grand drama today. This is truly a grand scheme!"

Lin Xun felt a chill run down his spine. Was it really so?

Looking at the expressions of the others in the room, they had all become strange, seemingly harboring their own thoughts and suspicions after hearing Xu Yin's explanation.
