1 The Arrival of the Sky Demon

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Clang...

The old bell moved without wind, and the dull sound of the bell rang throughout the world.

People suddenly raised their heads and looked in the direction of Mount Tianxuan, their faces full of shock.

It was said that in the ancient times, when the bell rang, people were plunged into misery.

The ancient bell, which had not moved for thousands of years, suddenly rang nine times today.

This was a sign of the end of the world.

The bell sounded ominous, and all the living beings in the entire nine regions and even the entire continent heard it.

For a moment, a sense of uneasiness rose in people's hearts. They were very depressed, as if a disaster was about to befall them.

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

Suddenly, a loud sound came from the depths of the sky, and a dark cloud came from somewhere.

In an instant, the wind rose, the clouds surged, and the strange wind howled.

It was as if a drop of ink had been dropped into milk.

The black color spread rapidly, and it was as if a black pot had been poured down from the top of Mount Tianxuan.

It was so dark that one could not see their fingers.

The air became very heavy, making it difficult for one to breathe.

Immediately after, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, as if the end of the world had arrived. Lightning struck down one after another, as if they had arrived at a forest of lightning.

Crack!

A bolt of lightning struck down from the nine heavens, and the entire sky seemed to have been split into two halves.

With the help of that flash of light, everyone could clearly see a figure with long hair draped over his shoulders standing amidst the dark clouds.

It was as if a demon god had descended into the world.

The figure stood there quietly, allowing the lightning and thunder to strike down crazily. However, it was unable to harm him in the slightest.

Boundless demonic qi rolled behind him like a wheel, forming a pitch-black, round ball that was devouring the lightning forest behind him.

The dark clouds did not have the slightest ability to resist. They could only obediently be wrapped up by the demonic qi, forming a huge ball.

The ball wriggled continuously, making creaking sounds.

It was as if a huge beast was chewing on its food.

It actually used the heavenly tribulation as its food. What kind of tyrannical demonic technique was this?!

Even the sect master of the Demonic Path, the Great Heavenly Demonic Blood Asura, who was the highest level of the demonic path ten thousand years ago, might not have such power.

The lightning flashed and disappeared, but the image of this moment was deeply engraved in people's hearts.

The descent of a devil was so terrifying!

At this moment, in the land of the nine prefectures, everyone knew that a peerless devil had descended!

The power of the devil was like an ocean, and the power of the devil was like a prison!

"Stop him!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of countless swords being unsheathed rang out. The disciples of the Righteous Immortal Sect flew on their swords and flew out of the mountain gate in beautiful trajectories. However, they were unable to approach because the pressure of the heavenly tribulation was too strong.

Since ancient times, good and evil could not be reconciled.

As one of the eight great immortal sects of the righteous path, it was the duty of the Righteous Immortal Sect to guard the ancient bell.

At this moment, the ancient bell warned them that the devil dared to undergo the heavenly tribulation on Mount Tianxuan, where the Righteous Immortal Sect was located. This was blatant provocation.

Thousands of disciples of the Righteous Immortal Sect were filled with righteous indignation. They disregarded their own lives and rushed forward to stop the heavenly devil from breaking through.

However, due to their low strength, they could not get close.

"Stand down!"

A cold voice came from above. A beautiful woman in white clothes and bare feet stopped everyone above them.

"Yes, we will comply with the sect leader's decree."

When the disciples saw the sect leader personally make a move, they felt inexplicably at ease.

The sect leader of the Righteous Immortal Sect, Wine Fairy, Jian Wushuang, was cold and beautiful. She was one of the only two experts at the peak of the Mahayana realm in the righteous path.

They were just one step away from breaking through to the highest realm and ascending to immortality.

Unfortunately, it was the age of chaos. No one had broken through to the Immortal Ascension realm of the righteous path and the Heavenly Demon realm of the demonic path for more than 10,000 years.

Wine Fairy was the strongest expert in the world. With her help, this matter would be settled.

At the same time, at Dajue Buddhist Temple on Wutai Mountain.

Nine bells rang into the Buddhist kingdom, startling the sleeping Buddha Lord.

The tall and low Buddhist pagodas shone with golden light, and the golden lotuses that filled the sky seemed to have begun to tremble.

Endless golden rain fell from the sky, the chanting of Sanskrit sounded, and the scent of sandalwood assailed one's nostrils.

An old monk who was covered in golden paint as thin as firewood suddenly opened his dharma eyes.

Two rays of golden light shot out, as if a bolt of lightning had struck the clear sky.

Within these two eyes, there seemed to be endless Buddhist principles. Both eyes looked at the empty space above, and their line of sight seemed to pass through the Buddhist kingdom that was isolated from the world, straight to the surging black clouds!

In that instant, the figure in the sky that looked like a mad demon entered the Buddha's eyes.

In that instant, the golden lotus was completely shattered, and the Buddhist principles trembled.

A hint of solemnity flashed through the Buddha's eyes. Such dense demonic qi, it was likely...

A Buddhist voice came from the sky that was made of pure gold.

"Heavenly Demons have descended into the world, and all living beings are in dire straits. Eighteen Arhats, follow me out of the mountains and vanquish the demons!"

"We will obey the Buddha's decree!"

Eighteen magnificent Buddhist voices rang out, and the Buddhist kingdom shook.

Golden bridges flew over one after another, connecting to the Buddha's supreme tower. The eighteen Arhats on the golden bridges woke up from their slumber, shook off the gold dust on their bodies, and strode out onto the golden bridges.

The eighteen Arhats were formed by the personal disciples of the successive Buddha masters of the Dajue Temple. They were experts at the peak of transcending tribulations.

The gold dust all over their bodies was made from the relics of the monks who had passed away. They had the power of Vajra, subduing demons.

If the Buddha master passed away, the next Buddha master would definitely be born from the eighteen Arhats.

Before that, the eighteen Arhats were the personal attendants of the Buddha master.

The eighteen Arhats were sleeping in the same Buddhist kingdom. They had the same mind and their magic powers were fused together. The three of them could challenge those of a higher realm if they joined hands.

It was said that when the eighteen of them attacked at the same time, they could even unleash an attack that was comparable to that of an immortal realm expert.

It was the highest power of Mount Wutai.

However, Buddha was merciful. When the eighteen Arhats attacked, they would definitely hurt people. Usually, they would just sleep in the Buddhist kingdom to meditate.

Unless it was an extremely special situation, they would never awaken the eighteen Arhats at the same time.

At the same time, in the Unitary Immortal Sect...

"Such tyrannical demonic qi is undoubtedly from the Heavenly Demon realm.

"It's probably hard for the Righteous Immortal Sect and the Wine Fairy to resist it. Hopefully, they can hold on until the reinforcements of the seven major sects arrive!"

Old Man Feng Yin grabbed a wisp of wind, sniffed it, and then his expression changed.

Unitary Immortal Sect was the number one sect of the orthodox path. Old Man Feng Yin did not have Buddha Lord's heavenly eye, but he could sniff out the extraordinary demonic qi from the wind.

As another Mahayana peak expert besides Wine Fairy, Old Man Feng Yin's talisman technique had already reached the acme of perfection.

After hearing the bell, Old Man Feng Yin immediately came out of seclusion. He casually grabbed and sniffed, as if he had seen the scene of destruction on Mount Tianxuan with his own eyes.

As his voice fell, Old Man Feng Yin had already turned into a breeze and disappeared on the spot.

Only a whirling fallen leaf was left, circling for a long time.

Just when the whole world was in a panic because of the nine bell rings, a great war broke out.

At the center of the heavenly tribulation, inside the boundless demonic aura, a figure seemed to have just woken up. He looked at the surrounding battle formation, shrunk his neck, and left silently.

"Is this the Heavenly Demon realm? It's not that difficult!"

In the dense forest behind Mount Tianxuan, a slightly thin figure gradually appeared. He looked at his hand and muttered to himself.

His name was Alan, the eldest senior brother of the Righteous Immortal Sect. He had come out of seclusion today.
