The black lingzhi with scarlet eyes was not a tangible entity but rather a pan-consciousness.

Zhong Shenxiu, with the aid of the Great Liberation Sword, elevated his thoughts and finally saw the other party's authority materializing.

Moreover, he sensed the roots of the [Black Tai Sui].

"You fearsome beast, could it be that you were begotten by the [Mysterious Lord] and the [Heavenly Elder]?"

A thought suddenly surfaced in his mind, making his expression rather peculiar: 'That's quite the heavy taste...'

But before Zhong Shenxiu could wait for the [Black Tai Sui] to respond, an intense tremor came.

"Move the Mountain! Move the Mountain!"

An extremely tenacious consciousness, carrying a certain unwavering determination, also charged into this battlefield.

It was the Banshan Great Saint!

The Great Saint's will was extraordinary, and not only was he attacking the [Black Tai Sui], but he was also seeking its weaknesses.

And when [Black Tai Sui] eroded him, the Banshan Great Saint could naturally come to this place in reverse, right to the core of the [Black Tai Sui]!

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you!

In some sense, there is essentially no difference between a Great Saint and a great fiend!

[Black Tai Sui] could erode and pollute lesser beings like Chongshan and Siluo Saints, but when encountering a more powerful Banshan Great Saint, it was meeting its match.

Rumble!

A phantom of a mountain appeared and smashed toward the black lingzhi.

This was also the condensation of the Banshan Great Saint's authority, representing 'Mountain', 'Strength', and 'Tenacity'!

Zhong Shenxiu, seeing this, also waved his hand, transforming a moonlight into a flying sword to stab toward the [Black Tai Sui]!

An illusory dreamscape descended, and from it emerged the voice of Meng Nanhua: "Everyone, strike together!"

Several Great Saints' wills materialized directly from the dreamscape and fiercely bombarded the black lingzhi.

Crack!

How could that black lingzhi withstand so many Great Saints joining forces?

The scarlet eye was instantly pierced by the flying sword, and then blasted into countless fragments by several forces...

...

Ganoderma Cave Heaven.

The walls of flesh that had been violently trembling suddenly ceased all activities, as if dead.

Poof!

The flash of a sword light tore open a space, and the flesh of that space did not regenerate.

"Is this [Black Tai Sui] truly dead?"

Siluo Saint murmured.

"Our combined force has already severely damaged this fiend's core consciousness; even if it isn't dead, it will remain dormant for millennia..."

Banshan Great Saint said indifferently: "If during this time your Fang Xian Dao sends several Great Saints, you might even refine the [Black Tai Sui] into a supreme elixir!"

Chongshan and Siluo Saints exchanged glances and both gave a wry smile: "That requires the external Great Saints to refine it over several years with True Fire. How can we spare the manpower for that now?"

"It can be done later. Fortunately, this [Black Tai Sui] can no longer participate in the Heavenly Demon Tribulation. Our duty is completed..."

Meng Nanhua said.

A group of several Great Saints arrived at the entrance of the Grotto Heaven, releasing a Sound Transmission Talisman.

Before long, the gate of the Grotto Heaven opened with a thunderous sound, revealing the delighted face of the Five Dragons Saint at the back.

...

Time flows like water.

In the blink of an eye, a few months swiftly passed.

In the rear garden of the Tianluo County Princess Mansion, Zhong Shenxiu watched a butterfly resting on his hand, saying nothing.

During this period, he traveled across the lands with the small team led by Meng Nanhua, even venturing to the west once, performing his duties as a firefighter commendably.

Moreover, he maintained the identity of 'Fang Lang', without revealing the existence of his true self, presumably to serve as a little surprise during the Heavenly Demon Tribulation.

He inevitably encountered some troubles, but the remaining fiends in the world had their basic information uncovered. With several Great Saints joining forces and both Meng Nanhua and Banshan being strong, they were handled accordingly.

"By now, the great fiends in the world have been subdued and sealed one after another... The day of the tribulation draws near!"

Zhong Shenxiu glanced at Qin Weiyin, who stood obediently by his side, and suddenly sighed.

"Even the Tianluo County Princess has been sent to some battlefield as cannon fodder... What is this, the cuckoo occupying the nest of the magpie?"

He thought to himself somewhat speechlessly and suddenly looked up to the sky.

Qin Weiyin reacted half a beat slower, and it wasn't until she sensed a terrifying aura emanating from the sky that she raised her head and was stupefied.

She saw...

Although it was daytime, a brilliant star shone brightly, radiating an eerie brilliance!

"A star appearing during the day, heralds chaos in the world!"

At this moment, countless divination experts watching the celestial anomaly murmured to themselves.

"It is the [Eternal Night Star], a star of the day, a symbol of apocalypse… Even when the stars attacked Jinling last time, it did not appear; why choose now?"

Qin Weiyin murmured.

"Because the Heavenly Demon Tribulation has begun!"

Zhong Shenxiu sighed, this [Eternal Night Star] belongs to the star lineage. The monsters of this lineage were recently heavily wounded in Jinling, so they weren't the focus of this cleansing activity.

"But coming out now, isn't it afraid of being pummeled by a bunch of Great Saints? Truly, great fiends are crazy, is this unable to suppress its instincts? Or the influence of symbolism?"

He did not bother with this [Eternal Night Star], there were plenty of Great Saints to take care of it.

What truly concerned Zhong Shenxiu were those few Heavenly Demon Battlefields!

Tai Shi Mountain!

This once Daoist Holy Land had now turned into a ruin, with dark mountain ranges surrounding, the void faintly trembling, constantly revealing cracks, looking extremely dangerous…

And at the entrance of Tai Shi Mountain, a huge fortress and defense line had been built, with spirit talismans flickering on it, equipped with the latest model of alchemical cannons.

From time to time, various cultivators patrolled back and forth, each exceedingly alert, their aura deep and concentrated, all at the fifth realm of cultivation—masters above Nirvana!

Outside the massive fortress, many loose cultivators were sent out for reconnaissance, galloping through the dangerous zones like scouts.

"Damn it, another patrol mission!"

A high-ranking member of the Iron Blood Society, looking at the talisman information in his sea of consciousness, couldn't help but complain: "Are we from side branches just destined to die?"

"We are not just side branches; we are Evil Cultivators. Naturally, where it's most dangerous, we are sent there... The side branches with better reputation just patrol the city walls as cannon fodder, while the disciples of the two main Daoist sects can sit inside the city, even responsible for logistics..."

Another cultivator wrapped in a bloody aura flew past, saying indifferently.

At this moment, the space cracks in front suddenly expanded, continually merging to form a gigantic passage!

As if some gaze came from the other end of the passage.

"Not good… The rift has mutated..."

The high-ranking member of the Iron Blood Society had just uttered this when the flesh on his body started falling off in chunks, growing countless tentacles, transforming into another monster.

Immediately, limitless demons surged from the other end of the passage, charging toward the human world…

They were bloodthirsty and crazed, craving to slaughter, caring not whether they were killing Evil Cultivators or Xuanmen Orthodox.

"Attention!"

"Enemy attack!"

Within the fortress, all cultivators were mentally steeled, knowing the real trial… had arrived!
