A strange, eerie voice causes the Mystic Demon Sect Chief and other demon cultivators to fall into madness, turning them against each other. They begin a bloody massacre, killing their own brethren while believing they are serving a "Divine Lord." The voice reveals that "Mr. Tu" is the Divine Lord's only servant, inciting the frenzied cultivators to attack him. The ritual is broken, and Mr. Tu is overwhelmed, but a young boy emerges from the carnage.

Chaos erupted from within, demons were planted with devils deep in their Taoist hearts.

Mr. Tu's blood ritual encountered an interruption; the Great Wilderness Witchcraft backfired, severely damaging his divine thought. Meanwhile, his physical body was being ravaged by frenzied Golden Core demons, causing him to lose control of the ritual within the Evil God's Nightmare.

At the very instant Mr. Tu's blood ritual shattered, the primordial spirit of the Xiao family ancestor began to twist violently. It seemed to have lost the "summoning" of certain powers, rendering it unable to sustain its existence within the nightmare.

The Xiao family ancestor was overcome with fury, roaring out in anger, but it was all for nothing.

Soon, as the black mist disintegrated, a vortex materialized. The Xiao family ancestor's primordial spirit was abruptly yanked away by a crimson force, expelled from the Evil God's Nightmare.

Furthermore, due to the pandemonium in the grand hall, Mr. Tu's injury, and the disruption of the blood ritual, the physical altar in reality also received a significant jolt.

Along with the entire Evil God's Nightmare, a distinct fluctuation emerged. This shift in the situation instantly stunned True Man Situ.

He was uncertain of the exact cause, but the accumulated experience and insight gained over years of navigating the perilous Divine Way allowed him to seize a sliver of opportunity at this critical juncture.

A faint thread of thought ignited anew from the ashes of despair.

The heart, which had been utterly hopeless, suddenly brimmed with a spark of hope once more.

"No, there is still a chance!"

"The Evil God can still be vanquished!"

True Man Situ's mind raced rapidly:

He found himself trapped within the Evil God's nightmare, completely oblivious to the events transpacing outside. However, he could reasonably infer that as the various cultivators of Qianxue launched their assault on the Blood Sacrifice Array, they inadvertently impacted the array's operation. This constant pressure on Mr. Tu ultimately led him to commit an error while presiding over the ritual.

The subsequent collapse of the ritual was precisely what enabled the corrupted primordial spirit of the Xiao family ancestor to be forcefully extracted from the nightmare.

At this very moment, their predicament was one of isolation and helplessness within the nightmare, and only this explanation seemed plausible.

And this, in turn, signified that a chance still remained.

"The Xiao family ancestor is a Fifth-grade Heaven Void Realm primordial spirit. Apart from him, the Evil God's forces do not possess any other Fifth-grade diviners."

"What we, as divine thought cultivators, dread most is the 'contamination' by the rules..."

"But now, that fear is gone, because..."

True Man Situ cast a sweeping glance around, his heart laden with a heavy premonition, "We are mostly... already contaminated."

"Since we have already been tainted, there is no longer any need to fear further contamination."

True Man Situ turned his head once more, summoning his courage, and fixed his gaze upon the Great Wilderness Evil God.

He confronted the Evil God with his mortal eyes.

The image of the Evil God became increasingly distinct within his vision.

It appeared as a newborn, a creature that was half-human and half-goat, slick with mucus and oozing black fluid. Its skin was wrinkled, and it seemed somewhat frail.

Yet, its heart pulsed with a terrifying power that sent shivers down the spine.

Each beat reverberated, sending waves of malevolent energy coursing through its entire being.

True Man Situ forced down his fear, reciting the heart techniques of Mystery Valley, striving to maintain an absolutely serene demeanor in the face of the Evil God.

Perceiving it as an "Evil God," True Man Situ felt only an overwhelming coldness and an innate compulsion to submit, refraining from harboring any thought of "resistance." However, by viewing it as a mere "baby," True Man Situ immediately experienced a sense of profound "insight."

This was an "premature" infant.

Furthermore, considering he had previously injured the divine fetus with the Seven Stars Sword, it was also a "cesarean" baby.

Premature and delivered via cesarean section, it was inevitably congenitally deficient.

The wrinkled skin and the thick amniotic fluid surrounding the Evil God corroborated True Man Situ's developing suspicions.

This implied that a chance still existed!

Right now, at this precise moment, was when the Great Wilderness Evil God was at its absolute "weakest."

And they, having lost everything, now possessed no reservations.

With this realization dawning on him, True Man Situ immediately bellowed:

"Everyone, there is no turning back now, we must fight until the very end!"

Having declared this, he ignited his remaining divine thought, summoning a flame of Six Yang Red Gold from the Red Gold Cup. This flame, carrying blazing infernos, surged towards the Evil God.

This was a true confrontation with a deity.

True Man Situ could not help but feel a surge of panic, yet his gaze remained sharp and determined, devoid of any hint of retreat.

On the other side, the Daluo Sect ancestor's expression was wrought with bitterness. He too wielded the Daluo Sword, unleashing a strike against the Evil God.

The Spirit Talisman Sect ancestor made an attempt to suppress the true form of the Evil God using the Soul Suppressing Talisman.

Spells were employed by the ancestor of the Little Spirit Sect.

Wielding the Thunder Wood Sword, the ancestor of the Kunzhou Sect directed his attack straight for the infant Evil God's head.

However, as the four Heaven Void experts gazed at the Evil God's true form with killing intent, an intensely chilling fear suddenly enveloped them, constricting their primordial spirits and forcing their attacks to halt abruptly.

For a fleeting moment, the pupils of all four Heaven Void ancestors constricted sharply.

They did not dare to act....

They dared not slay the Evil God?!

This realization sent a chill of disbelief through the hearts of the four Heaven Void ancestors.

Their objective for this expedition was, unequivocally, to slay the Evil God.

This fact was known to everyone involved from the outset.

Yet, to be present at the crucial moment, facing the act of slaying the Evil God, proved to be an entirely different situation.

They were not cultivators of orthodox divine thought, nor had they undergone rigorous Daoist heart tempering from their formative years, thus lacking the resolve to turn their blades against a deity of evil.

A desire to kill warred with the profound fear that held them captive, preventing any action.

"Could this... be a god?"

Gazing upon the newly emerged, deformed, and grotesque true form of the Evil God, the four felt only an icy dread pervade their beings.

True Man Situ perceived their state and inwardly sighed.

He should have foreseen this outcome: the Evil God was simply not something that could be "slain" with such ease.

Indeed, among all the cultivators assembled, he alone, the Chief Elder of Mystery Valley, could marginally overcome his internal fear to harbor genuine "killing intent" towards the Evil God.
