The human experts initially seemed to have the upper hand, but the demon leaders launched a surprise attack, overwhelming several human experts. However, the situation quickly reversed as Lu Qingshan and his allies displayed incredible power, easily defeating multiple demon leaders. The Demon Venerable, sensing the danger, decided to empower the Underworld Emperor with demonic essence, allowing it to break through to a new realm. The empowered Underworld Emperor then easily defeated the human experts, leaving only Master Lu standing.

With a wave of Master Lu's sleeve and a shout, golden light surged forth from the phantom image of the divine ability behind him.

In mere moments.

The phantom image ballooned to immense proportions. The two rows of wheels grew to several zhang in height, spinning furiously. Golden light also spewed from the rear carriage, converging in the air to form various dancing phantom images that swept towards the colossal shadow of the Underworld Emperor.

Instantly.

The sombre sky was ablaze with golden radiance, and the spectacle of phenomena above drew the gaze of the entire assembly.

The denizens of Shadow Island watched with wide, astonished eyes.

Lu Qingshan and Wu Yonghong, having expended considerable energy, panted heavily, their sighs echoing with the strain.

"Phew..."

"To witness one individual manifest such a multitude of divine ability phantoms! Master Lu's Dao of Feces has truly ascended to a higher plane! It astounds us that despite accompanying him back then, we now lag so far behind. It truly invites deep reflection."

"As the adage goes, only those who endure the most arduous trials can achieve unparalleled greatness. Master Lu's unwavering composure in self-refinement and profound cultivation within the Dao of Feces demonstrates a Dao Heart of exceptional tenacity. His current achievements are nothing short of admirable!"

Upon hearing these words, the others were moved, focusing with even greater intensity on the distant conflict.

The ancient cultivators present exchanged puzzled glances.

"The Dao of Phoenix?"

"Forgive my limited perception, but Master Lu's displayed divine ability is indeed uncommon. Yet, aside from the array of phantoms, does it truly possess overwhelming might?"

"Brother Lei speaks the absolute truth. I too perceive no formidable power. What is so extraordinary about this so-called Dao of Phoenix? Could it be that a phoenix phantom is reborn from flames?"

"This..."

As the hushed, uncertain murmurs drifted.

The contingent from Shadow Island offered knowing smiles, their gazes betraying an unshakeable confidence.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan and his companions could only wait with bated breath, offering silent prayers for Master Lu.

Although the cultivation of these venerable figures was not exceptional, their vast experience spanning multiple epochs and their profound knowledge of human divine abilities were undeniable. If even they could not fathom this technique, it was entirely understandable that the Demon Race, being an external entity, would also be unable to comprehend it.

On the battlefield.

The Underworld Emperor erupted in booming laughter, his arrogance escalating with each passing moment.

"You feeble humans are utterly laughable! Do you truly believe you can intimidate me by conjuring mere superficial phantom images?"

"My physical form is already peerless, and my five senses and divine sense rival those of deities. Simply standing here, you lack even the slightest opportunity for a surprise assault!"

"I am eager to witness how you intend to masquerade as specters!"

At this juncture, the Underworld Emperor's imposing figure seemed to encompass both heaven and earth. Having absorbed the influx of demonic essence bestowed by the Demon Venerable, his sense of power intensified, and his contempt for all else was absolute.

With the sheer, terrifying might emanating from the Underworld Emperor, the demons arrayed behind him jeered with even greater insolence, viewing him as merely a jester!

"Lord Underworld Emperor is entirely correct. That aged human is merely staging a spectacle, and I find it utterly unimpressive!"

"Manifesting so many phantom images, perhaps he intends to stage an opera for our amusement?"

"The divine abilities of my race are supreme in both offense and defense, possessing inexhaustible might. I surmise this human's self-conceived divine ability is likely designed to make the enemy perish from laughter!"

"Hah, that is indeed a stroke of genius!"

"Jiejiejie..."

Precisely as the Demon Race was engaged in boisterous laughter.

The sky filled with phantom images suddenly expanded manifold. Vibrant hues burst forth from them, and the images themselves grew increasingly lifelike, depicting a myriad of creatures—insects, fish, birds, beasts—alongside staple grains, luscious melons, and succulent fruits, even encompassing various fluid forms!

Witnessing this dramatic transformation, Jiang Yuan and the others found their curiosity piqued further. They marveled at Master Lu's profound grasp of divine abilities, astonished that he could manifest the essence of all creation.

Such a technique was unprecedented.

Truly, a self-enlightened Great Dao.

While lost in their admiration, a powerful urge to approach and observe more closely surged within them.

Little did they know.

The individuals from Shadow Island abruptly adopted expressions of profound reverence and began retreating at an accelerated pace.

Their demeanor suggested an imminent, catastrophic event!

Jiang Yuan and the elder cultivators failed to grasp the reason, but their keen senses did not deceive them. An ominous premonition struck them simultaneously, and they too retreated with haste, mirroring the actions of the Shadow Island group!

Having rapidly covered hundreds of miles, Jiang Yuan's countenance grew even more strained.

"This divine ability… is it undergoing yet another transformation?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qingshan nodded solemnly.

"That's right!"

"Watch carefully, the Demon Race is about to face imminent shit!"

As soon as these words came out, the other ancient seniors trembled in their eyes!

Imminent death?

Right now, there was still no might at all, but in the blink of an eye, the Demon Race was going to be annihilated?

Was Master Lu's divine ability actually so terrifying?

Before they could exclaim in surprise.

The aura of the phantom images in the sky rose again. Suddenly, the brilliance dissipated, as if their vitality had been snatched away. Although the various outlines were still vivid, they had turned into a strange black and yellow intertwined color!

At the same time, the speed of the phantom images skyrocketed, and their number and scale also grew exponentially!

The phenomenon that was like auspicious clouds previously had covered the sky and the sun in the blink of an eye. The various phantom images bared their fangs and brandished their claws, suddenly exuding a terrifying might, covering even the clouds above the giant shadow of the Underworld Emperor.

Looking from afar, it was like an endless ocean spanning the sky!

The change was extremely swift and fierce, and the rise in might far exceeded expectations!

Looking up at the endless blackness above his head, the Underworld Emperor was stunned. His expression became slightly serious as he secretly urged his extraordinary divine sense and five senses, wanting to see through this strange divine ability.

Who knew that in the next moment, an extremely pungent smell descended upon his head. The Underworld Emperor's sense of smell, which was already 10,000 times more sensitive, suddenly suffered heavy damage!

In an instant.

He only felt a splitting headache. His entire body was corroded by the disgusting smell, as if hundreds of millions of maggots attached to his bones were climbing and gnawing at him. It was extremely painful!

Especially his sense of smell, it suddenly failed.

Even his eyes became extremely sore!

Before he could even attack Master Lu's divine ability, the Underworld Emperor was already roaring in pain!

"Ugh!"

"It hurts my eyes!"

"My physical body is already comparable to a top-tier Desolate Artifact. How can I feel a stinging pain? What exactly is this divine ability!"

The thousands of demons on the ground behind him, although not as sensitive as him in the five senses, also smelled a pungent, sour, and refreshing smell. For a time, it was as if they were wearing masks of pain!

"What the hell is that thing in the sky!"

"Why does this divine ability have a familiar disgusting feeling? The more I look at it, the more something seems wrong..."

"I can't take it anymore!"

"Yue!!!"

The remaining demon army suddenly vomited continuously. The wounded soldiers who were already heavily injured couldn't even stand steadily!

Amidst the wailing.

The black sea in the sky suddenly descended, like a heavenly waterfall flowing down 10,000 zhang!

The Underworld Emperor was already feeling unwell all over. How could he have the time to react? He was immediately drenched from head to toe by the endless black sea. As the black sea in the sky continued to flow down, he was submerged in the blink of an eye!

For a time.

That huge body tossed and turned in the black sea, trying hard to struggle and fly, but found that his entire body was corroded and melted. He could only roar in panic!

That black sea seemed to be some kind of strange magma. It submerged that 10,000-zhang body in just a few breaths, and more than half of its physical body melted away.

Immediately!

The Underworld Emperor panicked, his pupils trembling in fear!

"Impossible!"

"This is impossible!"

But the more he roared and struggled, the faster his body sank. Torrents even poured into the bloody mouth between his giant pincers. Half of his giant face began to melt, emitting endless demonic energy!

The Underworld Emperor was choked so much that he couldn't speak clearly. Only horror and despair remained in his eyes!

"Cough! Cough!"

"How could I be defeated so easily? What the hell is this divine ability!"

"Lord Demon Venerable, save me!!!"

The desperate roars echoed in the land of darkness. Endless demonic energy evaporated from the black sea. The 10,000-zhang giant ant was completely submerged in the blink of an eye, leaving only half of its face floating in it.

The countless demons were all dumbfounded, and the depths of the darkness suddenly fell into a dead silence.

However.

That terrifying torrent continued to surge, closing in on the massive demon army outside the demon capital!

Boom!

The giant waves roared toward the heavens, and terror spread across the world!

The black flood descended like the apocalypse, terrifying the demon army into a frantic retreat. For a time, wails erupted and miserable shrieks echoed endlessly!

Curses! That dark ocean is advancing!

As I stare at it longer, it appears more and more familiar, and even the stench offers a sense of recognition. Could this repulsive and dreadful substance actually be the waste product of lesser beings?

Blech!!!

Nonsense! What kind of creature could produce such horrifying excrement!

Who cares what it is, we must flee!

Protectors of the demons, come to our aid!

...

Witnessing the immense host of demons being repelled by the surging torrent from a distance, Jiang Yuan and his fellow cultivators widened their eyes. Subconsciously, they retreated several more meters, their expressions etched with an even greater sense of dread.

Hearing the clamorous shouts, Lei Qianjue was so stunned that he trembled!

Feces!

Could the ultimate Dao divine ability of Master Lu actually be this Dao of Feces?!

While looking back in shock, Xiong Fen, standing beside him, gave a silent nod. Gazing at the frantically fleeing demons in the distance with a look of utter disgust, he quickly covered his eyes and averted his gaze.

Sigh...

Alas, they brought this upon themselves by being endlessly arrogant and forcing Master Lu to unleash his power. Their demise is of their own making.

Upon hearing this, Lei Qianjue's eyes quivered.

Within his field of vision.

Demons of all sorts were being tossed about in the waves of the fecal sea. Not a soul dared to confront it directly; their only recourse was to escape for their lives. Even the imposing ramparts of the demon capital were succumbing to corrosion, leaving barren land in its wake.

The sheer power of this Dao of Feces divine ability was truly formidable, its deterrent effect virtually unparalleled throughout history.

Lei Qianjue couldn't help but feel an intensified sense of fear, swallowing hard in silence.

This Dao of Feces... is genuinely that terrifying!

Even from afar, his gaze was filled with profound awe. Recalling his past encounters with Shadow Island when he was ignorant, a wave of residual fear washed over him at this precise moment.

Fortuitously, the adversary he faced back then was merely a direct disciple.

Defeat was just defeat; it wouldn't have been excessively tragic.

Had he encountered Master Lu instead...

The repercussions would have been unthinkable!

Amidst the human forces, hushed discussions continued incessantly. Their sighs were accompanied by gazes that conveyed the emotional relief of finally securing victory. Concurrently, their admiration for Master Lu, who stood impassively on the battlefield, deepened.

In stark contrast.

The various demon factions could only contemplate a desperate retreat. Under the dual assault of the terrifying divine ability's overwhelming presence and the intense revulsion within their hearts, they had completely crumbled.

Whether it was the remnants of their forces or the few severely wounded leaders, they all streamed back toward the demon capital without pause. An unprecedented terror gripped the entire demon race.

High above in the sky.

The High Priest's countenance had turned ghastly pale upon witnessing this catastrophic rout!

How could this possibly happen!!!

At this juncture, this profound and sinister high-ranking demon could only stare blankly, having entirely lost his composure, no longer possessing the inclination to offer flattery.

The sight of the priests from various factions in frantic escape amidst the filth was too horrific to behold, leaving them on the brink of annihilation!

The High Priest hastily spun around, prostrating himself in mid-air with a voice laced with urgent desperation!

Lord Demon Venerable!

Our race faces an existential crisis! The situation has spiraled beyond our command. We implore you to intervene immediately!

Hearing this plea.

A spectrum of emotions flickered in the crimson eyes gleaming from the darkness, his tone tinged with a certain gravity.

This engagement did indeed involve certain miscalculations...

Even the esteemed Demon Venerable was compelled to acknowledge at this moment that an unforeseen deviation had occurred within the grand plan, and it was rapidly slipping from his grasp.

Should he refrain from acting now, it might truly spell disaster!

Perceiving the situation spiraling beyond his expectations, the Demon Venerable found it increasingly perplexing. He reassessed the distance once more, only to observe Long Tian still withholding any action, showing absolutely no inclination to facilitate an inside-out assault.

Abruptly.

The Demon Venerable's blood-red eyes narrowed slightly, and a complex expression surfaced on his indistinct features.

He could not fathom how events had unfolded in this manner. His initial ambition was to dominate the cosmos, yet before even conquering a single galaxy, his race had suffered such a monumental setback.

How could the human race possess such formidable strength?

They had even mastered such an outrageous divine ability!

And why would Long Tian usher such an adversary into their sacred domain?

Was this truly an instance of luring the enemy into a trap?

It bore a greater resemblance to inviting a wolf into one's own home!

Damn it...

Could it be that Long Tian's supposed betrayal was not a charade that had become reality, but rather he had genuinely switched allegiances?

The Demon Venerable's mind raced, a chilling glint appearing in his eyes.

However, the situation was dire, leaving no room for contemplation. Responding to the High Priest's desperate pleas, he could only clench his jaw and concede.

Very well.

These leaders have utterly failed this Venerable. My race lacks individuals capable of serving as great generals. Since this is the state of affairs, even though I am at a crucial juncture in my cultivation, this Venerable must personally intervene to salvage the situation!

A profound voice resounded.

Tens of thousands of demonic energies erupted into the heavens.

The true form of the Demon Venerable materialized. With a single palm strike, he dispelled the illusory image of the fecal sea, scattering it into mist and smoke. All the commotion ceased, replaced by a profound stillness. His terrifying cultivation base was unparalleled, silencing an area of ten thousand miles into utter quiet.

In that instant.

The cultivators of Cloud Star were utterly astonished, and Jiang Yuan, along with everyone from Shadow Island, could only stare with wide eyes!
