Jiang Xuejun saw what her Primordial Spirit looked like after merging with the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader, and she momentarily lost her focus.
She felt that this appearance was very bad.
"How did I become like this? What did I used to look like? I am a Sword Immortal of the Mysterious Sect Orthodox Sect, and my master was a revered elder within the Mysterious Sect, who was my master again?"
She felt a bit confused, and at this moment, Yan Yingmu's image appeared within the Heavenly Mirror above her head.
Yan Yingmu stood above the Nine Heavens, with the vast Xiangyun Immortal Palace as the backdrop, as if standing in the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm, looking at her with a face full of compassion mixed with solemnity.
Upon seeing Yan Yingmu, Jiang Xuejun's Primordial Spirit trembled, as if a child who had done something wrong encountered a strict parent.
She wanted to sit up straight, but suddenly felt her blood surge, and the will of the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader quickly took over, her eyes turning from black to red, and she opened her mouth to spit out a stream of black Qi, like a squid releasing ink, spraying out something pitch-black and viscous, halfway between liquid and gas, and erupting towards the Heavenly Mirror in the sky.
The Heavenly Mirror could not strike Jiang Xuejun from a distance, and seeing no way to awaken her, Shi Feiyang stopped engaging in meaningless entanglement, and the large Heavenly Treasure Mirror vanished into thin air.
Jiang Xuejun clasped her hands together, and the black tide surged in the sky, fixing the hole melted by the Heavenly Mirror.
At this time, the black tide covered the sky, alarming all the cultivators in the Central Earth region, most of whom were powerless to resist. Several Sword Immortals emerged from their abodes, looking up at the dark sky, feeling anxious and fearful.
"Master! What's going on?" the newly initiated disciples asked their elders one after another.
There were also young cultivators who, unaware of the situation's gravity, released Flying Swords: "Master, what kind of monster dares to act like this! Let's go and slay it..."
Their masters hurriedly covered their mouths and pulled them back into the cave: "Don't speak irresponsibly! Don't speak irresponsibly!"
These loose cultivators dared not oppose such cataclysmic-level evil techniques, and could only close their cave doors and dwell deep underground.
Some, dissatisfied with the depth of their abode, continued to dig deeper, wishing they could hide in the Earth's core.
Large sects like Kunlun, Qingcheng, Snow Mountain, Wudang, and Emei rushed to the Capital, meeting Shi Feiyang at Yuan Yang Palace: "True Master, what should we do about this?"
Shi Feiyang said: "This is still just Chi You's probing, Jiang Xuejun is simply being used as a vanguard, everyone, don't panic, just counter their moves accordingly."
Jiang Shu looked at the spreading black sky, frowning deeply and said worriedly: "We need to first join forces to dispel this black tide!"
Shi Feiyang nodded and let the young Daoist child in the palace bring over a box, from which he took out thirty-six colorful, crystalline tokens, each engraved with the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Talisman Formation, seemingly carved from whole pieces of colorful crystal, selecting thirty-six people from the crowd to distribute the tokens, and assigned them positions: "Each of you take a token and go to your designated place to await my command."
Among those he assigned, there were none from the Emei Sect, and Jin Chan, leading the group from Emei, was dissatisfied: "True Master, why are you not assigning any task to us from the Emei Sect? Do you look down upon those of us present today?"
Li Yingqiong had already taken the Emei sect masters and the Yi family brothers to West Kunlun, intending to duel with the Red Lotus Demon. This time, Jin Chan brought the remaining people, who unfortunately weren't the highest elites; the Three Heroes and Two Clouds, Zhuge Jingwo, Ruan Zheng, etc., were all absent.
Shi Feiyang smiled faintly: "I don't mean to look down on you; it's just that your sect members have always looked down on me. If I give orders rashly, not only might the matters not succeed, but they might also go wrong."
The people of the Emei Sect were very unhappy: "Even if our Emei Sect is not strong enough, the worst we could do is to be ineffective, not destructive..."
Shi Feiyang still did not distribute the tokens to them: "All of you have great intentions, use your own Flying Swords to behead enemies later. This great disaster, Chi You has been brewing for many years, each of you will have roles to play."
Meanwhile, strands of gray-white Black Evil Silk began to descend from the sky again.
The Black Evil Silks were finer than hair, stretching thousands of zhang, created from the black tide in the sky, hanging densely, from the north to the south, and from the deserts to the East Sea, every place had black strands hanging down.
As if they were massive human hairs falling from the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm, they were a shocking sight to behold.
Each Black Evil Silk could automatically target one life form, whether human, beast, flying creature, the fish left in the river, or insects hidden in the grass, once it found a life form, it would wrap around it, lift it off the ground, and drag it to the black tide in the sky.
The gathered immortals panicked: "It's over! Now all the living beings on the Central Plains will be annihilated by that monster!"
Some unleashed Flying Sword Magical Treasures to strike the sky, intending to shatter the Black Evil Silk.
Shi Feiyang intervened to stop them, raising his hand to collect all their Flying Swords and Magical Treasures: "No! If the Black Evil Silk is shattered it will transform into Black Calamity Evil Qi and concentrate in large quantities. If the opponent then unleashes the Xuanwu Wusha Luohou Blood Flame Divine Gang, it would bring even greater disaster! Don't worry, I have a way to deal with this method."
He began to cast spells again to activate the Heavenly Mirror, rotate the number of the Circulation of the Heavens, reverse north and south, and twist time and space.
The Black Evil Silks were clearly hanging down over the lands of the Great Ming Dynasty, falling evenly to the east, west, south, and north. At this time, the Heavenly Number was turned, shifting them northward, as if a strong wind from south to north blew them all toward the north. As long as the black tide in the sky was not extinguished, these Black Evil Silks were endless, capable of infinite extension. When they reached the North Country, each sought out a creature, entwining them and lifting them into the sky!
The army of the North Country was all stationed outside the Great Wall in the Nine Border Regions. At this time, the Black Evil Silks descended from the sky, winding around the soldiers of Zhu Rong and pulling them out of their camps, hoisting them into the air.
In the surrounding areas, many nomadic tribes were present, having raised large numbers of cattle and sheep, which were also swept up and hoisted by the Black Evil Silks.
Observing the scene from below, looking up at the sky, it was incredibly spectacular, with countless humans and beasts, cattle and sheep struggling and howling as they were whisked into the sky, heading toward the endless black tide above.
"Bastard!" Jiang Xuejun let out a roar of anger.
Failing to annihilate the people and beasts of the Great Ming, instead, all the people and beasts here were about to be completely captured!
She immediately cast a spell to stop all the Black Evil Silks, releasing the captured people and beasts, many of the cattle and sheep were thrown down from mid-air, crashing directly onto the ground to their death!
Ordinary soldiers were also smashed to pieces, but only those Zhu Rong giants, warriors with bronze heads and iron bones modified by Chi You, survived the fall, flipping over and getting back up.
Jiang Xuejun then ordered all three armies to attack: "Charge into the pass for me, leave no cock nor dog, cut off all heads and pile them together, offering them as sacrifice to Emperor Chi You!"
The Zhu Rong shouted angrily, launching an assault on the various passes of the Ming Dynasty. The three armies, each with a large number of wizards worshipping Chi You, and the Sword Immortals who pledged allegiance to Chi You leading them, such as Xing Tianxiang and Xing Tianhe who were commanders of the Western Army.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xuejun also cast spells to manipulate the cold wave surging forth, streams of Cold Flame Cold Light moving north to south, east to west, circulating repeatedly. Wherever the cold flame passed, the heat would be absorbed, causing the ground temperature to plummet rapidly, snow falling everywhere, and even the Pearl River beginning to freeze.
Moreover, black smog spread, mountains and fertile fields were all filled. Now, not only was the sky pitch black, but the ground was also invisible, the range of light from lamps rapidly shrunk, and soon, it might be impossible to distinguish between man and beast or even face from face!
Shi Feiyang sent the remaining Sword Immortals of Yuan Yang Palace to the Nine Borders to help defend against the Zhu Rong's assault, with the people of Emei Sect eagerly leading the charge.
Shi Feiyang transmitted messages to the thirty-six Sword Immortals holding tokens, instructing him to begin casting spells, and he did the same at Yuan Yang Palace.
The thirty-six Sword Immortals stood in different positions, forming a super-sized Heavenly Gang Formation. According to Shi Feiyang, they located the source of the black tide, mobilized the Nine Heavens Gang Qi to descend and confront it, intending to drive the black tide away.
If done this way, the clashes would inevitably cause earthquakes, cold waves, hailstones, torrential rain, and hurricanes across the land, not just ordinary natural disasters. The hailstones could be as large as millstones, the cold waves could drop local temperatures to below minus one hundred degrees Celsius instantly...
At this time, Shi Feiyang continued to activate the Heavenly Treasure Mirror, altering the circulation of the Heavenly Number.
The Heavenly Dao is circular, circulating repeatedly. The ancient ancestors primarily measured the Heavenly Number using the Yellow Path for timing, and this is where the three hundred sixty degrees came from.
The treasure mirror emitted light, Shi Feiyang sat cross-legged on the altar, his hands repeatedly changing spells, casting one after another Emperor's Golden Talisman, a total of three hundred and sixty Golden Talismans forming a circle, then the mirror light expanded into the sky, instantaneously having a mysterious resonance with the sun.
The mirror light was not intense; beyond a thousand miles, it became difficult to see with the naked eye, yet it still existed for real. Instantly, the three hundred sixty Golden Talismans all flew onto the Yellow Path.
The Yellow Path does not physically exist; it is the path along which the sun seemed to orbit the earth from the perspective of observers standing on the ground.
Yet, at each point on the Yellow Path, the sun did indeed pass!
The Heavenly Treasure Mirror has the effect of breaking through the barriers of time and space. The three hundred sixty Golden Talismans hung on the Yellow Path, simultaneously radiating bright light, like three hundred sixty suns, each degree forming a circle, illuminating the earth!
In an instant, the sky was illuminated with unparalleled brilliance, the intense sunlight penetrating the thick black calamity, shining upon the earth again.
Light and heat dispelled the cold and darkness; in the Central Plains, immortal and mortal alike were immensely stirred, with even some Loose Cultivators shedding tears of joy: "Shi True Master… Shi True Master is truly…"
The subsequent words were choked up, unable to be spoken.
Now, not only Central Earth but all Four Extremes and Eight Desolates were illuminated!
At the Eastern Extreme Great Wilderness Mountain, the Son of the Green Emperor, Giant Wood God, stood atop Wuzhong Ridge, watching the war from afar, suddenly witnessing numerous "suns" appearing in the eastern sky, illuminating Great Wilderness Mountain in every detail. He was also greatly astonished.
On North Pole Long Night Island, eternal night prevailed; only during the summer solstice did it barely receive an hour of faint sunlight amidst the overcast sky and swirling black frost, with turbulent seas all around.
Many deep-sea monsters dwelled here, due to the cold, subzero seawaters and harsh environment, the Demon Beasts living in this dark sea were ten times more ferocious than those in the Southern Pole Outer Divine Mountain! Chi You was on the island casting spells, his pair of blood-red eyes glimmered in the endless darkness, preparing for the final comprehensive move southward.
Suddenly, the sky became dazzlingly bright, many suns appeared above the North Heaven, forming an arc, illuminating the eternally dark sea region around Long Night Island, even reacting with the magnetic energy above the North Pole, sparking radiant and splendid auroras.
