Terrifying hurricanes have formed in the Void Spirit Ridge, heading towards Taihang Commandery and causing destruction. True Monarch Zi Ming is furious, blaming the other True Monarchs for the Beast Tide and demanding they join him to fight the Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor. Despite initial reluctance and thoughts of abandoning the fight, the True Monarchs agree to confront the Demon Emperor. Meanwhile, the Ye family boards a Spiritual Ship after suffering significant losses, with Ye Xingqun gravely injured and vowing revenge.

Unbeknownst to him, his current state of profound compassion stems directly from the Forget Dust Pill he consumed.

...

Across the Taihang Commandery, the vast Taihang Mountain Range, from Lingyun Peak and Chixia Ridge to Thunder Roc Valley and its numerous peripheries, is now completely overrun by countless demon beasts.

Even the Celestial Protection Commandery, a vital part of the Yan Kingdom, finds itself under the impact of this widespread beast tide. As one of the four major commanderies under the Tian Dao Sect, Celestial Protection Commandery shares a minor border with the Taihang Mountain Range. Typically, beast tides rarely pose a significant threat, seldom impacting the commandery.

However, the emergence of the Demon Emperor has unequivocally ignited this beast tide.

This particular beast tide has been rightfully labeled the most extensive observed in the Taihang Mountain Range within the last hundred years.

From Lingyun County to Buqing County and even Tai Cang County, all have become prime targets for the encroaching beast tide's assault.

The skies teem with avian demon beasts, while the very ground vibrates as if during an earthquake – the spectacle is one of sheer terror and profound despair!

...

White Cloud Town, once under the stewardship of the Ye Family of Lingyun Peak, is also the birthplace of Ye Jing Hu. Naturally, the mortal populace within has seen numerous transformations over time.

Presently, a staggering nine gale storms are rapidly converging upon this very region.

Just as these storms are poised to obliterate White Cloud Town, a flying saber materializes in the sky, descending with a decisive slash.

This strike, wielded as if by a divine deity, cleaves downward instantaneously.

The torrential saber light, extending several tens of feet, appears to rend the very void as it hurtles towards the storm's nucleus.

Though imperceptible to the common eye, the locus of the most concentrated spiritual energy is, in fact, the Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor.

Beyond the earth-shattering strike from Tian Dao True Monarch, a White Jade Beast Banner, a Cyan-faced Beast Pattern Mirror, a Celestial River Bead, and the Five Spirits Seal are also actively engaged.

The White Jade Beast Banner, a Tier Five treasure belonging to True Monarch Baiyu, was meticulously refined from five-thousand-year-old Celestial Soul Wood. It effectively encapsulates the souls of ten thousand beasts, bound together with a thousand varieties of beast blood.

Upon its appearance, the banner unleashes a phenomenon akin to ten thousand beasts manifesting simultaneously, coalescing into a colossal Beast God Spirit Shadow that charges headlong into the storm.

The White Jade Beast Banner and the Five Extremes Spirit-Slaying Saber are spearheading the offensive.

Nevertheless, even these two formidable Tier Five treasures...

...find themselves fragmented within the storm's fury. The saber light dissipates after a mere few feet, and the beast shadow conjured by the White Jade Beast Banner is violently consumed by the tempest.

The meticulously orchestrated storm demonstrates truly terrifying power!

The assembled onlookers can't help but ponder: if the Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor were to sustain this vortex indefinitely, escalating it to a gale storm two hundred feet or even higher, who among them could possibly withstand such a force?

As astonishment grips the crowd, the Celestial River Bead descends into the fray.

This resplendent Spirit Bead ignites, transforming into a colossal celestial river that cascades downward.

Boom!

The deafening collision resonates with an intensity that threatens to rupture human eardrums.

At this critical juncture, True Monarch Zi Ming's Five Spirits Seal finally makes its appearance.

The Five Spirits Seal, once the treasured artifact of True Monarch Zi Ji, is renowned throughout the ranks of Tier Five treasures.

It now manifests as five authentic spirit beast shadows, charging forth with unyielding vigor.

These five beast shadows alone possess the capability to barely contend with the storm and considerably impede its relentless advance.

Meanwhile, True Monarch Qingling's eyebrow twitches subtly.

The Cyan-faced Beast Pattern Mirror begins its flight.

Unlike typical Mirror Treasures that primarily employ immobilization or spirit binding techniques, this mirror emits a cyan luminescence, revealing an animated beast face that initially registers a sorrowful expression.

Then, as the cyan light intensifies, it directly pierces the storm, inducing a peculiar transformation in the Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor and significantly diminishing the storm's cyan aura.

The beast face emblazoned on the mirror swiftly shifts to one of apparent joy.

This sudden change in expression...

In the subsequent moment, the gale storm is violently torn asunder.

This 'bitterly smiling divine soul face' technique is designed to target the Divine Soul; any entity enveloped by its cyan light is ensnared within an illusory realm of unending sorrow and mirth.

The storm, now devoid of the Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor's direct control, finally explodes outward with a resounding blast under the suppressive power of the Five Spirits Seal!

The residual tempestuous ripples possess a destructive aura capable of annihilating all in their path, compelling several True Monarchs to hastily retreat.

Despite their advanced cultivation techniques, their physical bodies lack comparable resilience.

At this moment, the towering form of the Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor is finally brought into full view.

A wolf's head, the color of cyan, adorned with two tufts of white wind brows and eyes like hooks of the moon, radiated an immense deterrence.

"Despicable humans only know how to rely on numbers!" the Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor roared, his harsh words drilling into the few storms behind him once more.

It seemed to be provoking the Nascent Soul stage cultivators into single combat.

However, these Nascent Soul cultivators were not naive and naturally would not fall for such a ploy.

But then, a new storm emerged, surging with cyan light, and a situation mirroring the earlier one unfolded.

Yet, this storm was not advancing but retreating backward.

After all, this particular storm was only eighty feet high, its power vastly inferior to the previous one.

It was clear the Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor was anticipating reinforcements.

Tian Dao True Monarch and the others could sense powerful energies rapidly approaching from afar; the speed of the Nascent Soul Demon Emperors was truly astonishing.

"It's the Nether Fire Demon Emperor and the Golden Tiger Demon Emperor!" True Monarch Zi Ming recognized them with extreme displeasure.

He screamed in anger:

"Celestial Cyan, why did you incite the beast tide!"

"Did this emperor incite it?" the Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor sneered.

"You intended to invade the Taihang Mountain Range first!"

"First Jade Dragon Valley, then Lion King Ridge, and now you seek to invade Earth Dragon Valley, aiming to completely occupy the outer regions of the Taihang Mountain Range!"

"You broke the treaty first, so even a Demon Saint would not blame us!"

"Let's settle this in a real battle!" the Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor bellowed loudly.

The remaining eight gale storms appeared to be converging.

If they combined, they might form a storm as immense as the one before.

"Stop them quickly!" True Monarch Zi Ming shouted again.

The others frantically activated their Magical Treasures.

True Monarch Qingling continued to wield the Cyan-faced Beast Pattern Mirror, but its cyan light, after its initial success, now had little effect on the Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor, who was far too swift.

He maneuvered within the storm, completely elusive.

Tian Dao True Monarch, following the momentum of his initial saber strike, sliced through one of the gale storms.

True Monarch Zi Ming's Five Spirits Seal shattered another, and both the Celestial River Bead and the White Jade Beast Banner achieved their own successes.

The individuals continued to employ their secret techniques and divine abilities.

True Monarch Qingling conjured a Cyan Spirit Thousand Needle Array, covering a vast area and causing the Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor to roar furiously.

After all, he would have to endure either the Cyan Spirit Thousand Needles or the soul-shriveling strike of the Cyan-faced Beast Pattern Mirror.

Tian Dao True Monarch then summoned a massive Sword Puppet Spirit Shadow, wielding a saber imbued with spirit energy, and struck furiously.

True Monarch Baiyu projected a White Jade Fist Shadow, while True Monarch Zi Ming manifested the Celestial Yang Finger...

Soon, only two gale storms remained from the original eight.

From afar, the Nether Fire Demon Emperor and the Golden Tiger Demon Emperor finally arrived.

The Nether Fire Demon Emperor took a deep breath, seemingly forming a gigantic vortex, and exhaled with a powerful burst.

The engulfing flames resembled celestial "fire clouds," completely blanketing the world.

The Golden Tiger Demon Emperor, meanwhile, wielded a Tier Five Flying Sword Treasure, presenting himself as a sword cultivator.

"Be cautious; the Nether Fire belonging to the Nether Fire Demon Emperor can penetrate Spirit Shields. It is a Yin Attribute Spiritual Fire. The Golden Tiger Demon Emperor wields two swords; the one in his mouth holds the treasure, with its tail serving as the true killer blade!" True Monarch Zi Ming warned.

In an instant, everyone unleashed their techniques.

"Retreat, rely on the array for defense!" True Monarch Baiyu and True Monarch Qingling showed reluctance.

Fighting this group of foolish Demon Emperors in the open, could they themselves not be considered foolish?

Their priority was to utilize Magical Artifact Talismans and Arrays.

Even though the opposing side now numbered five.

However, True Monarch Beihai was clearly holding back, hoping for trouble to befall True Monarch Zi Ming and Tian Dao True Monarch.

And Tian Dao True Monarch, for the sake of his sect's heritage, preferred not to commit his full strength, much less consume his lifespan in conflict.

Everyone understood that persisting in this engagement yielded no benefit; breaking through the Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor's gale storm was sufficient.

"Fight while retreating, and retreat to defend Cyan Willow Lake. The Purple Heaven Association will deploy the Tier Five Array to deal with these three pests using the Tier Five Array!"
