Zhang Jian knew that, as they progressed further, the pressure on the Immortals within the Ten Thousand Immortals Array would only increase.
"Tai Chi, Duality, and the Four Symbols are the core grand arrays that can protect the most crucial Heaven and Earth Origin of the Donghua Realm. However, if the other arrays are progressively broken and the Origin is continuously torn apart, ascending with mere remnants would probably be meaningless!"
Zhang Jian thought to himself.
However, Zhang Jian also understood that Tai Chi, Duality, and the Four Symbols would indeed be the primary targets for the attacks of numerous Outer Demon Gods and even Demon Monarchs.
If the three central core arrays remain unbroken, the Daoist Monarchs in the core depths of the Ten Thousand Immortals Array could relocate the powerful Immortals within the array at any time and besiege them whenever and wherever they choose.
Moreover, if the three central arrays remain intact, the Donghua Realm’s promotion to a higher level would be a certainty.
For the many Immortal Gods stationed on the periphery, the moment when the overall situation is about to be settled is bound to be the most dangerous.
When the situation is about to be finalized, perhaps those Demon Monarchs will only lie flat, and before they leave, they might tear a part of the outer Origin to keep it.
That is the most dangerous moment.
For beings of such existence, having no intent can also be dangerous!
Zhang Jian immediately suppressed his thoughts and fully immersed the Earth Emperor Primordial Spirit into the Earth Dao Qi Net and even into the depths of the Path of Earth Ancestral Qi. At the same time, Zhang Jian noticed several traces of Divine Sense discreetly revealing their presence.
It was evident that the other Immortal Gods within the Ten Thousand Immortals Array were not idle either.
Everyone shared the same mindset: in the absence of a life-and-death battle, they would seize every second to comprehend the changes in the Path of Heaven and Earth. Even if they could not comprehend it thoroughly, they would deeply engrain this scene in their memories for frequent recollection.
The earth above was experiencing dramatic changes.
More and more Outer Demon Gods emerged, attempting to destroy the world, but they were discovered by the patrolling Immortal Gods on the earth, subsequently being annihilated by the Array of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.
Rumble!!
On that day, Zhang Jian was suddenly startled by a thunderous sound from the depths of the firmament. A burst of demonic light suddenly pierced through several arrays in the sky, heading towards the earth.
The power contained within that demonic light was truly terrifying.
"Activate the array!"
From the depths of the Eastern Earth Ancestral Acupoint, the voice of Daoist Monarch Lianshan reached the ears of the Immortal Gods stationed in the Southern Ancestral Acupoint, the Purple Mansion Earth Ancestral Acupoint, and various Earth Spirit Acupoints.
On the Earth Altar, seeing this, Zhang Jian summoned the Profound Yellow Divine Banner from mid-air and slightly activated it.
Rolling waves of Profound Yellow light spread out, permeating the world and shrouding the sun and moon.
Zhang Jian and the other Array Masters could see countless Profound Yellow Dao Qi and Earth Attribute Dao Qi transforming into Heaven and Earth Runes, merging with a stream of Earth Ancestral Qi to form a translucent profound yellow embryonic membrane.
That membrane appeared to be the fetal membrane formed at the birth of the Heaven and Earth Realm, seemingly fragile, yet possessing the most supple and resilient force, as the Innate Embryonic Membrane.
However, the blazing demonic light descended from the sky, unstoppable, instantly tearing through the Profound Yellow Membrane.
In an instant, it turned into a stream of light and plunged into the earth, whereupon a grandiose demonic light spread out from where it fell, starting to corrupt the land, devouring all the vitality and power around.
In an instant, the Array of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow was pierced through!
Deep within the Purple Mansion Province, Zhang Jian’s face was also somewhat aghast. He sensed a terrifying force seemingly traversing through ages and spaces. As a slant of demonic light penetrated through, his Earth Emperor Primordial Spirit also felt intense disruption, but in a flash, the radiance densely gathered around the Earth Emperor Primordial Spirit suppressed it.
The power of several Body-Protecting Immortal Techniques was sufficient to withstand this level of backlash.
However, some of the unfortunate Immortal Gods guarding the Earth Spirit Acupoints had their Primordial Spirits extinguished instantly upon the demonic light’s descent.
The force of that demonic light was simply too overpowering.
At this point, a massive Abyss of Demon Qi emerged on the land.
The earth was torn open into a gigantic chasm, turning all life within millions of kilometers to ash. The Earth Spirit Acupoints and Earth Spirit Vein within several provinces around directly collapsed within a short time.
The Demon Qi Abyss directly inflicted a huge scar upon the earth, and the terrifying Demon Blade within continued to emit Demon Qi, forming a Demon Realm.
If allowed to continue eroding the earth, it could penetrate through the earth, affecting the operation of the entire Array of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.
Zhang Jian knew that someone had to come forward to resolve this terrifying Abyss of Demon Qi.
The thought flashed through his mind when a calm voice suddenly reached his ears.
"Fellow Daoists, this is a Demon Blade left behind after the fall of the Ancient Demon Monarch. I can later make arrangements to extract it. Fellow Daoist Ji, can you disperse the residual Demon Qi of the Demon Blade and repair the damaged part of the Earth Spirit Acupoints?"
Zhang Jian glanced in the direction of the Eastern Earth Ancestral Acupoint. It was the voice of Daoist Monarch Lianshan, who guarded the Eastern Earth Ancestral Acupoint.
Zhang Jian remained silent.
The area where the Demon Blade fell was within the southern territory of the Donghua Realm, under the guard of Ji City. Speaking up now would mean overstepping his bounds.
However, the Array of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow rises and falls as one; one prospers, all prosper, one suffers, all suffer. If Ji City’s abilities were insufficient, Zhang Jian wouldn’t be afraid to offend others, as life is the most critical.
Ji City’s voice rang out at this moment: "Elder Lianshan, I need to carefully study it for a bit!"
Daoist Monarch Lianshan’s response was exceptionally cold.
"Either you can, or you cannot, there is no time to study for a while. Our lives are precious, and we don’t have the time for you to study!"
He was unequivocal.
Then his voice reached Zhang Jian’s ears.
"Ling Yuan Emperor, do you have a way to resolve this Demon Qi?"
Zhang Jian’s Primordial Spirit Divine Sense, at this moment, utilizing the Earth Origin of the Donghua Realm, was already touching that terrifying, grandiose Demon Qi.
