After escaping the Painting Realm, the Yinglong and Candle Dragon beasts engage Empress Weiyang and Great Master Pu Du respectively. Meanwhile, Zhao Xuanjing struggles to suppress Old Ghost Wanxing and Bai Ze within the Brocade Mountains and Rivers due to their foreknowledge abilities. Deep underground, Zhao Sheng discovers an immense cavern containing a familiar ruined workshop, Gui Xu Square, with a fierce battle unfolding around it.

Empowered by starlight, the might of every Gangsha Star Lord was massively boosted, fearlessly engaging and besieging the Divine Beast Envoys one by one.

Though the individual combat prowess of the Gangsha Star Lords was somewhat lacking, their peculiar attribute of immortality meant their revival was swift. Once extinguished, they would quickly respawn within the starlight's embrace, rejoining the fray.

In a mere blink of an eye, a significant portion, close to a third, of the Divine Beast Envoys had been defeated. Only a handful remained, numbering just over a dozen.

Despite the continuous return of Divine Beast Envoys from the Lower Realm, their efforts were insufficient to turn the tide of the engagement, leading to a disjointed and ineffective strategy.

The Gangsha Star Lords were prepared, having orchestrated this beforehand, while their adversaries were caught completely unaware!

Furthermore, with the three most formidable Divine Beast Venerables – Bai Ze, Yinglong, and Candle Dragon – absent, the battle's conclusion was essentially predetermined.

From his vantage point at the passage's end, Zhao Sheng was a direct witness to this fierce conflict. Yet, he remained uninvolved, refraining from deploying the Filthy Immortal Arrow, and instead opted to "log off" from the scene.

Let us rewind the temporal flow slightly!

Just as Zhao Xuanjing prepared to utilize Chongyue Cave Heaven as a battering ram against the Third Inch Heaven, abrupt and widespread disturbances erupted throughout the Divine Continent.

Elders in the Returning Void stage suddenly turned on their kinsmen, and a True Monarch in the Divinity Transformation realm forcibly breached the Nine Nether Demon Prison, liberating numerous figures of the Demon Path.

Almost concurrently, a minimum of thirty Floating Island Lands plummeted to the earth, resulting in the instantaneous demise of countless inhabitants residing on these islands.

Simultaneously, the three Demon Emperors of the Returning Void stage dwelling in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain launched a coordinated betrayal against the Zhao Family. They unleashed billions of demonic beasts, directing them to assault critical facilities such as the Treasure Pavilion and the Merit Hall.

In a swift escalation, pandemonium ensued within the Divine Land Ancestral Land. A substantial contingent of betrayer clansmen, spearheaded by over a dozen Divine Beast Envoys, commenced a brutal massacre, actively fueling the widespread chaos.

Zhao San Yue observed all these occurrences firsthand. Intriguingly, she maintained a detached stance, acting solely as an observer with no inclination to intervene.

Although the world hailed Zhao San Yue as the "Red Moon Fairy," in reality, she embodied the persona of a ruthless and cold-blooded Slaughter God.

She possessed a clear understanding of the current predicament, recognizing that any casualties sustained by her clansmen, regardless of their number, would not imperil the fundamental stability of the Zhao Family.

Her focus was singular: she was waiting, perpetually waiting, for the emergence of the Five Thunders and Eternal Night.

This anticipation stemmed from her uncertainty regarding the loyalty of these two individuals, questioning if they too had defected from the family.

Consideration was particularly given to the Master of Eternal Night, who was on the precipice of a critical juncture; he might resort to any desperate measure to ensure his own survival.

A mere fifteen minutes after the Divine Continent descended into disarray, the Master of Eternal Night materialized in the Upper Sky of the Divine Continent, his countenance grim, as if facing impending doom.

Upon his arrival, he immediately activated his domain, pacifying the surrounding chaos and swiftly executing three to four Divine Beast Envoys.

Following the Master of Eternal Night's successful quelling of the turmoil, the Master of Five Thunders made his timely appearance. He too, without hesitation, embarked on a relentless pursuit of the traitorous Returning Void Elders and Divine Beast Envoys scattered throughout the region.

Witnessing these developments, Zhao San Yue experienced a partial easing of her apprehension, though she dared not lower her vigilance completely.

At this critical juncture, she delicately propelled the Demon-Revealing Mirror into the air. While murmuring incantations, she channeled an abundance of Spirit Light Spells into it with a graceful sweep of her hand.

As immense reserves of mana and Divine Thought were infused into the ornate mirror, it commenced radiating an intense brilliance. A luminous layer of Auspicious Light ascended from its surface.

Gradually, this Auspicious Light seamlessly integrated with the fabric of the heavens and the earth, propagating outward in all directions.

Moments later, the entirety of the vast Divine Continent became enveloped by the pervasive Auspicious Light. Every scene unfolding within its borders was meticulously reflected and displayed within the Demon-Revealing Mirror.

At this precise instant, Zhao San Yue's internal confidence experienced a significant upswing, increasing by thirty percent.

With a surge of her Divine Thought directed into the treasure mirror, each "outcast" concealing themselves in various locations across the Divine Continent was instantly laid bare.
