Chapter 1773 Where do you get the confidence to think you've got us figured out?

"How is this possible..." Immortal Lord Lingxiao's eyes widened, almost unable to believe the light projection in front of him. "They... how could they be here? Instead of attacking the Nine Divine Realms, they've come to ambush us?!"

"What a Demon Abyss! What a monstrous place!" Immortal Venerable Ziwei was furious.

He was both shocked and furious, shocked by the depth and subtlety of the other party's scheme.

What angered him was that he, a dignified peak True Immortal who ruled over the heavens, had been outmaneuvered to such an extent by a group of demonic brats!

What puzzled him even more was where Shi Moyuan got his confidence from.

On the surface, the Three Pure Immortal Realms have one peak True Immortal, five late-stage True Immortals, thirty early-to-mid-stage True Immortals, over three hundred Mahayana cultivators, and an army of hundreds of thousands of cultivators.

From any perspective, their lineup completely overwhelms the lineup of Shi Mo Yuan.

Even including that bizarre reincarnation of a demon, they are at most on par with high-end combat power, and still at a disadvantage in the middle and low levels.

What makes them think they can take over the Three Pure Immortal Realms?

Aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth, causing mutual damage, and letting the Nine Divine Realms benefit from it?

Suppressing his boiling anger and a trace of unease, the Purple Star Immortal knew that he must not act rashly at this moment.

He took a deep breath, and a grand Daoist voice resounded through the divine shuttle, echoing throughout the sealed void:

"Fellow Daoist from the Abyss of Beginning Demons, what is your intention in making such a grand display?"

On the Throne of Karmic Power, the reincarnation of Ten Thousand Evils slightly raised his eyelids, his chaotic eyes casually sweeping over the divine shuttle. A playful smile curved his lips, and his voice carried a hint of laziness:

"What are you planning? Ziwei, weren't you just discussing how you would be the last mantis stalking the cicada, waiting for us and the Nine Divine Realms to fight to the death so you could clean up the mess and devour us too? What, you're allowed to be the cicada stalking the cicada, but we're not allowed to... be the hunters?"

Upon hearing this, the Purple Star Immortal Venerable and the others were greatly shocked!

Their secret meeting inside the Divine Shuttle was somehow discovered by the other side?!

Is it divination? Is it spying? Or... is there a traitor inside?

Impossible. Everyone present is a true immortal. The divine shuttle is heavily guarded. Who could possibly spy on it silently?

Ziwei Immortal Venerable suppressed his shock and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, you jest. The void is vast, and misunderstandings are common when divine thoughts intertwine. We have come here only for the matter of the Nine Divine Realms. With a formidable enemy at hand, it is not advisable for either of us to waste our time here, only causing pain to our allies and joy to our enemies. We should prioritize the overall situation, join forces to annihilate the Nine Divine Realms, and extract their resources. That is the best strategy. As for the distribution of resources, we can rely on our own abilities or discuss the proportions at that time. Why kill each other before even engaging the main force, resulting in mutual destruction and making ourselves a laughing stock in those devastated lands?"

His words were well-reasoned and supported by evidence, highlighting common interests, implying the possibility of cooperation, and also pointing out the risk of a third party benefiting from the conflict between the two.

However, the reincarnated being of countless evils merely smiled lightly: "The bigger picture? Cooperation?"

He shook his head slightly, as if he had heard an extremely boring joke: "Ziwei, you still don't understand. I have no interest whatsoever in cooperating with you, and I have even less interest in methodically attacking the Nine Divine Realms and squeezing out the scraps."

He slowly sat up straight, his chaotic eyes gleaming like a venomous snake eyeing its prey: "What I need is not resources, but... tempering. A powerful enemy's Blood Soul Dao Fruit, enough to solidify the foundation of my reincarnated immortal body, break through the shackles, and reclaim my position as a True Immortal!"

His gaze swept over the divine shuttle one by one, especially lingering on the location of the six True Immortals, including the Purple Star Immortal Venerable. His gaze was as if he were examining a series of delicious dishes.

"And you," the voice of the reincarnated Wan Nie suddenly turned cold, "this elite force of the Three Pure Ones Immortal Realm, led by a peak True Immortal and possessing five late-stage True Immortals and thirty early-to-mid-stage True Immortals... is the perfect whetstone! Devouring you will not only allow my men to have a good meal, but also allow my Wan Nie Immortal Foundation to reach perfection through extreme slaughter and devouring, allowing me to ascend to immortality in one step!"

He paused, then gave his final choice, his tone calm yet filled with murderous intent:

"Now, I give you two choices."

"First, surrender, offer up your true spirit, and plant the Myriad Evil Soul Seal. From now on, you will be a servant of my Primordial Demon Abyss and can serve as the vanguard when attacking the Nine Divine Realms."

"Two, die."

There is no other way.

Surrender and become a slave, or die!

Such blatant humiliation and murderous intent caused all the cultivators of the Three Pure Immortal Realms inside the Divine Shuttle to instantly feel their blood boil and become uncontrollably furious!

"Arrogant fiend, how dare you!"

"Immortal Lord, please give the order so that we can break out and crush these arrogant and ignorant demon bastards!"

"How dare you humiliate my Three Pure Immortal Realms?!"

The crowd was filled with righteous indignation and their fighting spirit soared to the heavens.

Even the most composed Guixu Immortal Lord and the aloof Jinque Immortal Lord had their eyes blazing with fury.

The face of the Purple Star Immortal was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

The negotiations completely broke down.

The other party wasn't after profit at all; they just wanted to use them as sacrifices and stepping stones!

This feeling of being utterly disregarded angered him more than being defeated.

But at the same time, the unease in his heart was also growing.

The reincarnation of countless evil beings is so fearless; does he truly have an absolute guarantee of victory?

Those twenty True Immortal Demon Lords, though outnumbered, each possessed a fierce aura, clearly seasoned killers who had fought countless battles.

Those four late-stage Demon Lords gave him a sense of danger.

The most unpredictable one is the reincarnation of the Myriad Evils on the throne, who seems to have only Mahayana cultivation, yet makes him feel apprehensive!

However, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

The enemy has laid a trap, cutting off all escape routes. There is no choice but to fight to the death.

"You are so stubborn that you are courting death!"

Ziwei Immortal Venerable finally stopped suppressing his power, and the terrifying pressure of a peak True Immortal erupted, instantly dispersing the surrounding demonic miasma!

"Disciples of the Three Pure Ones, heed my command!" The voice of the Purple Star Immortal Venerable resounded throughout the universe, "Form the Great Zhou Tian Formation and vanquish the demon!"

"Slay the demon!!"

A deafening roar erupted from the divine shuttle.

Boom!

The divine shuttle burst forth with an unprecedented purple immortal light, and the silver Dao patterns on the surface of the shuttle body flickered wildly, instantly expanding and transforming into a war fortress composed of stars and immortal clouds!

Above the fortress, 365 key nodes lit up, corresponding to the heavens. Countless starlight fell, forming a vast array that enveloped all cultivators of the Three Pure Immortal Realms, combining offense and defense!

At the same time, the cultivators of the Three Pure Immortal Realms, who were already prepared, surged out of the Star Fortress like a flood breaking through a dam, led by their respective True Immortals!

The celestial light was dazzling, and the sword energy crisscrossed.

In an instant, they clashed with the surrounding demonic army!

A great battle erupted!

It was clear that the Shi Mo Yuan side had been prepared for this.

The four demonic realms operated simultaneously, spewing out endless demonic creatures that attacked the Zhou Tian Grand Array of the Three Pure Immortal Realms from all directions.

"The stars revolve, and all things perish!"

The Purple Star Immortal Venerable was stationed at the core of the formation, personally controlling the grand formation.

The starlight of the Zhou Tian Grand Array cascaded down like a waterfall, transforming into countless sharp starlight sword energies.

Stars fell, freezing the void.

The initial clash of formations alone turned this sealed-off area into a furnace of destruction.
