Golden Turtle Island's messenger invited Dharma Body masters from the Seven Overseas Realms and Twenty-Eight Islands to a banquet. The Emperor countered by decreeing a Gathering of Immortals in the Divine Capital on the same day, after publicly overpowering the Heavenly Immortal envoy. Righteous Path leaders like Lu Da, Chong He, Kong Wen, He Qi, Su Wuming, and Cui Qinghe declared support for the Emperor, declining the overseas invitation despite pressures, as undercurrents surged.

Right as the Heavenly Immortal envoy from Golden Turtle Island showed up and the Human Emperor's decree echoed across the world, the once-forgotten grasslands burst back into fervent activity.

Demon Master Han Guang, the World-crossing Dharma King, along with Yin Ancestor, Night Emperor, and various other Dharma Bodies from the Seven Overseas Realms and Twenty-Eight Islands, all converged upon the golden tent in the grasslands!

Besides these Dharma Body powerhouses, Demon Dao Masters and Half-step Dharma Bodies such as Happy Bodhisattva and the present Xuan Nu had also assembled in this spot.

This single location appeared to draw nearly every top figure from the Demon Path, evoking a wild, tumultuous vibe like a frenzied demon dance.

"The shifts in this world have truly come too abruptly—heavenly Immortals acting as envoys. Golden Turtle Island isn't ordinary at all."

Guldo remarked emotionally, his hand caressing the Heavenly Punishment Axe.

Nevertheless, his tone brimmed with unshakable assurance.

Though he skipped the righteous-evil clash, its outcome had ignited his drive. By subduing the grassland's Incense Fire God Longevity Heaven using the Heavenly Punishment Axe and merging forces with it—bolstered by the Axe's dominance—he had surged straight into Heavenly Immortal realm!

Freshly ascended to Heavenly Immortal, yet armed with the legend-grade awakened Heavenly Punishment Axe, Guldo felt certain he could overpower even a cluster of those Heavenly Immortal envoys!

Post-breakthrough, Guldo had planned a massive demon assembly to confront the Human Emperor's heir, who snatched the Heavenly List's top spot from him.

Yet right then, missives from the Heavenly Immortal envoys surfaced, coupled with tales of the Human Emperor casually quelling a Heavenly Immortal in the Divine Capital.

This instantly put Guldo on high alert.

He had figured that hitting Heavenly Immortal would let him dominate unchallenged. So why were Heavenly Immortals popping up like common weeds now?

Without the post-breakthrough surge that roused the Heavenly Punishment Axe to legendary status, he wouldn't have risked calling this hidden conclave.

"Golden Turtle Island's foundations run deep. Those Heavenly Immortal envoys are just the surface—backed by Ancient Great Powers. The Human Emperor's heir, puffed up after crushing one Heavenly Immortal, dares to defy them? Pure arrogance."

Night Emperor gave a faint smile, exuding refined poise.

Yet as a Dharma Body powerhouse, his utterance carried undertones that sharp ears caught immediately.

Guldo knit his brows and questioned,

"Have you already surrendered to Golden Turtle Island?"

"If that's your view, it fits. I've joined Golden Turtle Island and claimed my rewards. Truth is, we all aim to thwart that so-called Human Emperor heir, matching Golden Turtle Island's goals perfectly. Allies, after all."

Night Emperor's response rang with frank sincerity.

Drawn by Golden Turtle Island's Island Master's wife Su Daji, Night Emperor had eagerly pledged himself. As an early Dharma Body recruit, he'd glimpsed their core schemes.

Golden Turtle Island first aimed to dominate all Dharma Bodies via the Nine Revolutions Soul Separation Pill.

But the Human Emperor heir's fierce display, plus the Human Dao Dynasty's awe-inspiring might, forced Golden Turtle Island to pause and consolidate.

"Golden Turtle Island's Island Master likely outdates the true Human Emperor—a legendary myth. Teaming up pays off: earn their favor, secure their shield."

"If they're that mighty, why not crush the Human Emperor outright instead of recruiting us?"

Guldo scoffed with icy disdain.

"Here's the crux: the Human Emperor's Human Dao Dynasty ties into it. Personal moves by the Island Master risk catastrophe—he's just wary of karmic backlash and causal chains."

At these words, Demon Master Han Guang chimed in aptly,

"If we strike, won't karmic force rebound on us?"

Night Emperor stayed silent, but World-crossing Dharma King offered a casual insight,

"We've long entangled in mortal affairs, so we're technically under the Human Dao Dynasty too. Our moves would spark inner strife, handing Golden Turtle Island its opening."

World-crossing Dharma King seemed profoundly detached, his mindset evidently refined even more.

During the Divine Capital's righteous-evil battle, Great Asura fell to Green Bird, with whispers of Green Bird hunting World-crossing Dharma King—even death rumors swirled briefly.

Still, his return came stronger, shattering those tales.

"Yet the Human Emperor packs real power; his Human Dao Dynasty traps and crushes even Heavenly Immortals. Great Khan advances swiftly, but charging in solo spells suicide."

Demon Master Han Guang stayed ever prudent.

He couldn't grasp Guldo and World-crossing Dharma King's bold recklessness.

Aren't they terrified of dying?

Regardless of Golden Turtle Island's Island Master's prowess, any delay in aid dooms everyone present!

At first, spotting Guldo's Demon Path summit, Han Guang sought smart tactics.

Now, it smacked of a cannon-fodder trap...

Perpetually wary Han Guang now pondered escape.

This crew felt utterly undependable...

Han Guang once wished a diversion against the Human Emperor, easing his plot for Xuantian Sect's Time Blade. Yet in this moment, he hesitated briefly before nodding and declaring,

"Risky as it is, since the Human Emperor rose and Human Dao Dynasty solidified, we've been pinned down tight. Why not unleash chaos!"
