CHAPTER 674: CHAPTER 496: I DESIRE TO BACKSTAB THE IMMORTAL GATHERING!

"Primordial One Qi Thunder!"

Chen Jichuan’s expression turned into one of shock.

Just a single Divine Thunder already possesses unimaginable power, nearing the might of a blow from a lesser-known True Immortal like the Black Vulture Emperor, and it’s even more devastating with its ability to cause landslides and earthquakes.

Yet, Vermilion Blood Ancestor has managed to condense a massive total of 129,600 such Divine Thunders.

Once they are all activated together, I’m afraid even the Divine Continent would be overthrown!

The power is truly beyond imagination!

It’s not just the ’Primordial One Qi Thunder’.

After Golden Silkworm Ancestor handed over the ’Spring and Autumn Cocoon’ and the ’Primordial One Qi Thunder’ to Chen Jichuan, he took out a cluster of fiery clouds and introduced, "This is the array weapon ’Fire Dragon Pillar’, consisting of one main pillar and 1,200 auxiliary pillars. Fellow Daoist only needs to take control of the main pillar on Seven-star Island and gather 1,200 Fourth-order cultivators to control the auxiliary pillars, guarding this array eye. Rest assured, the ’Fire Dragon Pillars’ will spread across the Divine Continent, and the ’Fire Dragon Array’ will envelope the Five Continents and Five Seas, resonating with each other, and cannot be broken through externally. Only by entering the array can there be hope to break it. Once inside, it’s our territory, and we’ll ensure Daoist True Immortals come and have no return!"

[Name: Fire Dragon Pillar]

[Description: Vermilion Blood Ancestor exhausted everything to forge three sets of ’Heaven’, ’Earth’, and ’Human’ Fire Dragon Divine Formations, each with 108 main pillars and 129,600 auxiliary pillars. True Immortals control the main pillars, Fourth-order cultivators control the auxiliary pillars, and the three formations combined form the ’Three Talents Fire Dragon Divine Formation,’ possessing the mighty power to burn the heavens and boil the earth.]

...

Fire Dragon Divine Pillar!

Primordial One Qi Thunder!

Chen Jichuan looked on clearly, realizing that the ’Fire Dragon Pillar’ could form the ’Three Talents Fire Dragon Divine Formation’, and when combined with the ’Primordial One Qi Thunder’, it could connect the heavens’ thunder and earth’s fire. In an instant, the array’s power could surge to unimaginable heights.

By then.

Even if the Daoist sects could decipher and stop it, the Divine Continent would suffer immeasurable devastation, with deaths and injuries of countless trillions!

"Such vicious intentions!"

"This is to overthrow the Divine Continent!"

"The demons and fiends have been provoked to the point of flipping the table!"

Chen Jichuan, seeing a portion, was still startled.

Golden Silkworm Ancestor, seeing this, knew he was overthinking, so he explained to him, "The One Origin Dao Sect has the protection of Golden Wind Mountain and Sea, with treasures laying out a great array that can hardly be broken without exhausting the power of Divine Continent. If fellow Daoist has fears, you may leave a Dharma Domain Avatar here to hold the fort, and your true self can move to the Outer Starry Sky for a time, returning only after the situation in the Divine Continent stabilizes."

After all, Golden Silkworm Ancestor dared not reveal their plan with the three demons to anyone.

At the time, even he and Heavenly Defect Saint Master were hesitant, procrastinating repeatedly, unwilling to agree to Vermilion Blood Ancestor’s plan when there was still room for negotiation.

They were hesitant, let alone the new True Immortals like ’Seven-star Sword Master’ Wang Shan and ordinary True Immortals.

Therefore.

The three demons could only keep it a secret.

Fortunately, for their plan with Wang Shan and the other demon True Immortals, they only needed the ’Three Talents Fire Dragon Formation’ and the ’Primordial One Qi Thunder’.

Among them, the ’Three Talents Fire Dragon Formation’ was more reliant upon.

As for the ’Primordial One Qi Thunder’, Vermilion Blood Ancestor condensed a total of 129,600, but only a thousand or so were handed over to Chen Jichuan and the others, the majority still remaining with Vermilion Blood Ancestor.

From these two points, one could see the determination of these three demon magnates to confront the One Origin Dao Sect, but it wasn’t enough to reveal their true crazed intent.

Hearing Golden Silkworm Ancestor’s explanation, Chen Jichuan didn’t believe it in the slightest. On the surface, he didn’t show it and nodded, expressing, "Thank you, Old Ancestor, for the reminder!"

...

Seeing off Golden Silkworm Ancestor.

Chen Jichuan returned to Seven-star Island, his mind racing: "The three demons are insane, and this cannot be allowed to proceed unchecked, or billions of lives in the Divine Continent will be ruined, and a single misstep may lead to the doom!"

Chen Jichuan didn’t know if the Daoist sects had any measures in place, or if the One Origin Dao Sect could suppress this chaos.

But he couldn’t gamble, couldn’t bet everything on the Daoist sects.

"Since I already know part of the demons’ plan, I can target certain aspects."

Chen Jichuan thought, and in the next moment, he was already reaching the Fourth Realm, with 6,561 doppelgängers, all springing into action.

He could currently maintain four perfect combat power Divine Power Avatars.

However, those doppelgängers with only Fourth-order Peak cultivation could number in the hundreds and thousands.

One by one, doppelgängers moved, slipping beside each demon True Immortal, waiting for the opportunity to strike.

"The ’Fire Dragon Divine Formation’ has three sets, and the ’Fire Dragon Pillars’ have 324 main pillars, undoubtedly controlled by 324 demon True Immortals."

"Targeting demon True Immortals would cause too much commotion and risk exposure."

"But with my ’Transformation Technique’ and ’Doppelgänger Technique’, in the current chaotic state of the Divine Continent, it’s quite easy to fish in troubled waters. Every demon True Immortal must choose 1,200 Fourth-order to control the auxiliary pillars and assist themselves. I can easily knock out and replace one Fourth-order, sneak in among them, and at the critical moment, simultaneously launch from 324 spots, backstab the True Immortals, turning the ’Three Talents Fire Dragon Divine Formation’ into nothing but a paper tiger!"

Chen Jichuan planned in mind, nodding unconsciously.

Moreover, the power of this ’Three Talents Fire Dragon Divine Formation’ is incredible, capable of refining even a middle-tier heaven and earth like the Divine Continent. Using it to deal with True Immortals, it could even confront Second Realm and Third Realm True Immortals. If we can foil the demons’ plan and seize this ’Three Talents Fire Dragon Divine Formation’ for my own, it would be perfect.

"This is all I can do."

"The three demons must have even more powerful tricks up their sleeves, and when the time comes, it’ll rely on the Daoist sects to deal with it."

Chen Jichuan thought to himself.

...

Time passed.

The three demons rallied many True Immortals, and the Daoist sects took notice as well.

The One Origin Dao Sect was the first to take action.

When the Four Great Daoist Sects established the Immortal Court, they opened the Boundary Heaven, defining the Five Continents and Five Seas.

Four Daoist Patriarchs, along with numerous Daoist True Immortals and Righteous True Immortals, drew down 108,000 outer star bodies from the Outer Starry Sky, transforming them into the Shenzhou Starry Sky.

This is the Inner Star Sky.

Also the foremost suppressive grand array of Shenzhou Heaven and Earth.

True Immortals of the One Origin Dao Sect were recalled and Dharma Domain Avatars were sent up to the starry sky, occupying the stars, fully activating this star grand array to monitor all movements across the Divine Continent.

The One Origin Dao Sect was the most proactive.

However, other Daoist sects, including the West Zhou Pure Land, focused more on safeguarding themselves, dedicated to their own territories, and shifted most of the pressure onto the One Origin Dao Sect.

This clearly violated past conventions.

But in recent years, with too many True Immortals proving their Dao in the One Origin Dao Sect, it exceeded the tolerable limits of other Daoist sects and Righteous Paths.

Since they were of the Righteous Path and had a sense of righteousness, they didn’t dare to directly move against the One Origin Dao Sect and stir up a storm. Hence, they endured.

But they were waiting.

They were waiting for the demons on the other side to be more impatient than them.

And now, they finally waited it out.

They couldn’t act against the One Origin Dao Sect, couldn’t openly confront them, but taking advantage of the demons’ moves to slack off and drag their feet was something they could do.

They didn’t even need to secretly communicate; one by one, those Righteous True Immortals who suffered losses in interests due to the surge in One Origin Dao Sect True Immortals, coincidentally, remained lazy while the demons clearly made their moves.

The isolated One Origin Dao Sect faced increased pressure.

Over the years, the number of True Immortals in the sect surged to 366, but among them, including Meng Qing, Liu Hechuan, and others, all were still newly promoted True Immortals with limited Divine Skills and Daoist abilities.

Especially the 280 newly promoted True Immortals within the recent 30,000 years, most were still lingering at the first and second stages of the First Realm. Not only was their Daoist proficiency lower, but their Divine Skills mostly hadn’t long stepped into the Third Realm.

It took three to five newly promoted True Immortals together to match an elder True Immortal like the East River Palace Master.

In the context where other Three Great Daoist Sects and other Righteous True Immortals opted to observe passively, the One Origin Dao Sect’s effort to rely on its True Immortals to contend with the True Immortals of the entire Evil Path side of the Divine Continent was inevitably arduous.

However, under the leadership of Master Fu Danzi and the Five One Origin Ancestors, the One Origin Dao Sect still prepared for battle in full swing.

The Righteous Path watched.

The Demon Dao went all out.

In no time, the situation of the Divine Continent became highly tense.
