Chapter 1772 It's too late... We're already surrounded.

“Therefore, precise observation and control are needed.” Mingjian Immortal Lord looked at Xuanming Immortal Lord and Ziwei Immortal Venerable. “Xuanming Daoist’s divination and deduction, combined with the Immortal Venerable’s Zhou Tian Great Technique and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Geomantic Array that comes with the Divine Shuttle, should be able to roughly grasp the energy fluctuations and situation changes on the battlefield ahead.”

Xuanming Immortal Lord nodded: "This old woman and the Immortal Venerable will keep a close eye on things."

Ziwei Immortal Venerable nodded: "Alright, Guixu, you are responsible for managing the energy of the Divine Shuttle, maintaining the current speed, and being prepared to accelerate or change direction at any time. Jinque, check and optimize all formations, especially the defensive and concealment formations, to ensure that we are not easily detected when we approach the battlefield. Lingxiao, integrate all Mahayana cultivators, conduct pre-battle drills, familiarize themselves with the coordination, and conserve their energy."

"As for myself and Xuanming," the Purple Star Immortal Venerable said with a far-reaching gaze, "we will keep a close eye on that monstrous shadow of evil power and the changes in the fortunes of the Nine Divine Realms. When their fortunes plummet to the bottom and the calamity boils to its peak, that will be the time for us to descend."

He slowly rose to his feet, his star-patterned robes fluttering without wind, exuding an unparalleled majesty that commanded conquest.

"The blood of the first batch of fellow disciples will not be shed in vain. The debt owed by the Abyss of Beginning Demons must be repaid."

"This time, what we need to do is not to be a stepping stone, nor to be a vanguard."

"But rather... the last mantis unaware, the sole winner!"

On the platform, the five late-stage True Immortals solemnly rose and responded in unison:

"I will obey the Immortal's decree!"

Inside the Purple Palace, the starlight still shines brightly, and the celestial clouds drift leisurely.

The decision to slow down the voyage has been made, and the six immortals are each performing their duties.

The Immortal Lord of Guixu sat at the core of the Divine Shuttle, regulating the massive flow of energy and maintaining a delicate speed that was neither too fast to attract attention nor too slow to miss the opportunity.

Xuanming Immortal Lord and Ziwei Immortal Venerable stood side by side on the Star Gazing Platform. The old woman's cloudy yet sharp eyes and the immortal venerable's eyes, which contained the Milky Way, pierced through the barrier of the divine shuttle and were cast towards the distant place where the threads of cause and effect were drawn in the darkness.

Everything seemed to be going according to plan.

“Immortal Venerable,” on this day, Immortal Lord Xuanming frowned slightly and spoke in a hoarse voice, “the void ahead… seems a little too calm. According to calculations, we have entered the final stage of our journey close to the Nine Divine Realms. This area is affected by the radiation of its broken boundary laws, and there should be some spatial ripples or free energy fluctuations, but what I sense is a kind of… viscous stillness.”

The Purple Star Immortal's gaze narrowed slightly: "Dead silence? Is there a specific location? Is it a naturally formed void pit, or..."

Xuanming Immortal Lord formed hand seals, and cracks spread across the ancient tortoise shell floating in front of him, forming a blurry pattern.

She stared intently for a moment, her expression gradually becoming serious: "It's not natural... In this deathly stillness, there is a very faint, hidden demonic thought mixed in."

"Hidden demonic thoughts?" The starry river in the eyes of the Purple Star Immortal Venerable spun faster, and his enormous divine sense, like an invisible tentacle, combined with the Great Zhou Tian Technique, swept carefully across the void in front of him.

After a moment, his expression darkened slightly. "As expected... there are extremely subtle traces of demonic energy remaining, which have been dealt with by some sophisticated concealment technique, almost blending into the background of the void. If it weren't for your expertise in divination and perception, Xuanming, I would have had difficulty detecting it in such a hurry."

The Purple Star Immortal Venerable remained calm as he rapidly deduced various possibilities.

"Xuanming, can you calculate the exact scale of the ambush ahead, as well as the location of the core trap?" asked the Purple Star Immortal Venerable.

Xuanming Immortal Lord shook his head, his face grim: "That demonic spider web possesses extremely strong interference and reverse deduction characteristics. I can only sense its existence and its wide distribution, but not its precise location. The core area... is shrouded in a dense layer of wicked power and aura of calamity, making the heavenly secrets completely chaotic. That reincarnation of the myriad evils... is probably there."

“Ten thousand evils…” Ziwei Immortal Venerable chewed on the name, alarm bells ringing in his heart.

The opponent not only laid an ambush in advance, but also interfered with the secrets of heaven, which is something that no ordinary demon lord could do.

Could it be that the reincarnation carried far more blessings than expected?

"Immortal Lord, should we change course? Or accelerate and force a breakthrough?" Xuanming Immortal Lord suggested. "Since the enemy has already laid an ambush, if we slow down our progress according to the original plan, we may be playing right into their hands."

The Purple Star Immortal Venerable pondered.

Turning around and taking a detour would not only take a huge amount of time and might cause them to miss the best opportunity to catch the predator, but it would also make the Three Pure Ones Immortal Realm appear cowardly and severely damage their morale.

Accelerate the forced breakthrough... The situation ahead is unclear. If it is an extremely dangerous killing formation, the consequences of rushing in are unpredictable.

Just as he was weighing his options, Xuanming Immortal Lord's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he spat out a mouthful of dark golden blood onto the tortoise shell in front of him!

"puff--!"

The cracks on the tortoise shell spread wildly in an instant, and then with a "crack," it shattered into dozens of pieces!

"Xuanming!" The immortals exclaimed in shock.

Xuanming Immortal Lord's aura weakened, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief. He hissed, "Too late... We... We've already... In!"

The once peaceful void suddenly began to tremble violently!

Countless thick, dragon-like spatial rifts tore open from all directions without warning, instantly surrounding, cutting, and sealing off the area where the Divine Shuttle was located!

Immediately afterwards, one demonic realm after another forced their way in from the crack, firmly embedding the purple divine shuttle in the center.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A deafening roar of demonic energy suddenly rang out, and the demonic energy frantically eroded the defensive immortal light on the outer layer of the divine shuttle, emitting a "sizzling" corrosive sound.

Even more terrifying, within these demonic realms, one after another terrifying figures appeared.

In the Eastern Demon Realm, four figures stood side by side, their demonic power overwhelming. They were none other than four late-stage True Immortal Great Demons!

One of them, clad in demonic armor engulfed in undying black flames, was the World-Burning Demon Lord.

A chain of vengeful spirits, bound by countless agonizing cries, is the Soul Prison Demon Lord.

One carried a ferocious giant blade pieced together from the spines of countless living beings; this was the Bone Demon Lord. The last one was hidden in the rolling poisonous clouds, revealing only a pair of cruel, emerald-green compound eyes; this was the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon Lord.

The demon lords manifested in the southern, western, and northern demon realms were slightly weaker, but still extremely ferocious, totaling sixteen early and mid-stage True Immortal demon lords!

With the addition of the four late-stage experts from the East, there are exactly twenty True Immortal Demon Lords!

Above all the demon realms, the Throne of Evil Force slowly rose.

A person leaned lazily against the throne.

He looked extremely young, even with a hint of boyish naiveté, with a handsome face that was almost otherworldly, and pale skin.

A reincarnation of countless evil beings!

Behind him, countless demonic shadows surged forth like a tide. The aura of the Mahayana Demon Generals exceeded two hundred, and the number of Fusion and Void Refinement Demon Cultivators was overwhelming, far exceeding one hundred thousand!

They remained silent, but the bloodlust and greed burning in their eyes were more terrifying than any roar.

In the blink of an eye, the divine shuttle of the Three Pure Immortal Realms was surrounded and ambushed from all sides!

Inside the Ziwei Heavenly Palace, all was deathly silent.

The faces of the six True Immortals were extremely grim.

They never expected that the Abyss of Beginning Demons not only laid an ambush, but also laid it on such a large scale and with such sophisticated methods that they were able to unknowingly step into a deadly situation!
