44: As the background music for Chapter 44 begins, the protagonist makes his entrance.

Just when everyone was swallowed by the abyss of despair, pinning their last shred of faith on those sorrowful cries.

A sudden change occurred!

Changge Peak, that mountain which had always remained tranquil and otherworldly, saw the clouds and mist that never dispersed from its summit roiling violently without warning.

The sea of clouds surged backward, rushing like a tidal wave!

In the next instant, a pure, blazing pillar of golden light erupted from the center of the sea of clouds, fiercely tearing open the gray sky tainted by Devilish Qi, piercing through the nine heavens!

Wherever the golden light passed, all Devilish Qi, bloodshed, and resentment were completely dissolved and purified.

Warmth and holiness returned to the world.

"What... is that?"

"Changge Peak! It's the direction of Changge Peak!"

On the battlefield, whether it was the grinning Cultivators of the demonic path or the Taixuan Sect Disciples awaiting death, all were stunned by this earth-shaking spectacle, their movements frozen as they looked up in horror.

Before they could even recover from the shock.

"Dang—"

A grand, stirring melody, containing supreme majesty and a trace of compassion, emerged out of thin air, resonating directly in the deepest part of every living being's Soul.

This music drowned out all the clamor of the battlefield; whether it was the shouts of killing, wails, or explosions, all were eclipsed before this sacred melody.

The bloody shura field was forcibly cleared, transformed into a solemn stage.

[Ding! Background music "God's Descent" has been activated! Cost: 100,000 emotion points.]

Su Changge heard the System's price, his eye twitching imperceptibly.

"Playing some background music is this expensive? Fine, the atmosphere has reached this point already."

Amidst the music, a figure slowly appeared within the golden pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth.

He was dressed in white, without a single wrinkle, without a speck of dust.

His long, dark hair fluttered slightly in the airflow purified by the golden light.

No one could see his face clearly.

A layer of soft and sacred halo enveloped him, making people afraid to look directly at him, yet inciting an urge to worship him from the depths of their Souls.

It was none other than Su Changge.

He did not rush to act.

To deal with this group of ants, killing their bodies was far inferior to destroying their hearts.

He wanted to use his absolute aura to first completely crush everyone's mental will!

"System, 'Saint's Pressure', power to the max."

[Ding! "Saint's Pressure" has been activated! Friendly reminder: This effect will be significantly diminished against Cultivators at the Golden Core Stage and above.]

"That is enough."

The moment the thought fell, a terrifying pressure, indescribable in words, centered on Su Changge, transformed into an invisible, raging sea that swept across the entire battlefield!

This pressure was neither ferocious nor brutal.

It was vast, sacred, and majestic.

It was an absolute suppression belonging to a higher level of life, a cold gaze from the Heavenly Dao's will down upon mortal beings.

"Thump!"

A Qi Refinement Stage demonic Cultivator rolled his eyes back, blood spilling from his mouth and nose, and knelt straight down.

"Thump! Thump!"

As if the first domino had been pushed, all Cultivators on the battlefield with cultivation below the Foundation Establishment Stage, regardless of friend or foe, felt their legs filled with lead, unable to support their body weight anymore, and they knelt down in droves.

Immediately after, it was the turn of the Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

Their veins bulged, they gritted their teeth until they cracked, and their bones made "creaking" sounds from the unbearable burden.

Their spiritual power clashed wildly within their bodies, attempting to resist, but was easily crushed by that Heavenly might.

After a few breaths, they too, one by one, slammed their knees heavily onto the ground, splashing blood and mud.

The entire battlefield witnessed an incredibly bizarre scene.

The two sides that were fighting to the death a second ago were now forced to stop, forming a huge ring around the figure in the sky as the center.

Within the ring, the only ones still able to stand were the Cultivators at the Golden Core Stage and above.

But they were not having an easy time either.

Their faces were pale, sweat pouring down like rain, facing a formidable enemy, staring fixedly at the god-like figure in the sky with eyes mixed with fear and terror.

"Who... exactly is this person?!"

"This pressure... even a Nascent Soul Ancestor is nothing more than this! No! Even stronger!"

"This is not spiritual power pressure, this is... Dao! It is the might of heaven and earth!"

Li Tianxing and Ghost Granny's expressions were even worse, to the extreme.

Under the radiance of this sacred pressure, the Devilish Qi within their bodies became difficult to circulate, stagnant like ice, and their strength was forcibly suppressed by thirty percent!

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Su Changge moved.

He took a step, walking down from the Void Realm.

He walked very slowly, with nothing solid under his feet, but that step landed precisely on everyone's heartbeat.

Thump.

The heartbeat stopped for an instant.

Thump.

The heart was gripped by an invisible giant hand.

Thump.

Every step he took caused everyone's Divine Soul to tremble violently, so oppressed that they were almost driven mad!

Su Changge ignored the terrified gazes of those demonic Cultivators, walked straight to the center of the square, and stopped beside that deep pit.

In the pit, Sect Master was breathing weakly, flesh and blood blurred, his flame of life ready to extinguish at any moment.

Su Changge bent down, a Medicinal Pill that was completely emerald green and exuding a vast aura of life appeared in his hand out of thin air, and he gently placed it into Sect Master's mouth.

[Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Pill (Trial Version)], 300,000 emotion points.

Su Changge's heart was bleeding.

But for the best effect, this investment had to be made!

The Medicinal Pill melted upon entering his mouth.

A miracle unfolded before everyone's eyes.

Seeing the gruesome blood hole in Sect Master's chest, flesh and blood began to regenerate crazily, and Meridians and bones rapidly reorganized in a way that defied common sense!

His withered skin quickly regained its luster, and his paper-white face flushed with a healthy ruddy color.

The weak breath of life, on the verge of extinction, like dry wood meeting a raging fire, instantly burned fiercely!

It took no more than three breaths.

Sect Master's injuries had already recovered by seventy or eighty percent!

He suddenly coughed up a large mouthful of congealed black blood and opened his eyes. Although still weak, he had already escaped the jaws of death.

"This... is a miracle! This is a miracle!"

"A single Medicinal Pill... the dying Sect Head... is alive?!"

"What kind of Immortal Pill is that!"

The surviving Taixuan Sect Disciples, having witnessed this scene that defied the laws of life and death, were so moved that tears rolled down their faces. Their gaze toward Su Changge had shifted from fanaticism to the most pious faith!

Sect Master struggled to get up to pay his respects, but was held down by a gentle yet irresistible force.

"Lie down, don't move."

These two plain words contained the majesty of Words Become Law.

After doing all this, Su Changge slowly turned around.

For the first time, he cast his gaze toward Li Tianxing and the tens of thousands of demonic Cultivators behind him.

His eyes were calm and waveless, like a cold abyss that had not thawed for ten thousand years.

Yet, it was this calm gaze that made Li Tianxing feel as if he had been locked onto by a peerless Vicious Beast awakened from the ancient primordial era.

From his hair tips to his toes, every cell in his body was screaming frantically.

Run!

Immediately! Right now! Run!
