557: Drive away the tiger to devour the wolf

"Old Man Tianji... Hmph..."

Asura Venerable, whose figure was obscured by a bloody aura, had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by the domineering figure carrying an ancient, simple long blade.

"Don't mention those who are dead anymore."

"The changes in this star have become increasingly drastic recently. We cannot sit idly by. Fellow Daoists, do you have any good strategies?"

Venerable Kuang Dao said in a deep voice.

"If that new Dao is truly related to that star, then our general information has probably already fallen into the hands of the powerhouses in that world."

"And from the changes in this star, it's clear that it doesn't fear us at all, and its strength is probably much greater than ours."

"We must prepare for the worst."

Venerable He Run, who exuded an aura of dignity and righteousness, replied with a slightly solemn expression.

"Fellow Daoist He is right."

"We can make two preparations."

"The first is to find the master of that new Dao before this unfamiliar world completely descends. Perhaps there is still room for recovery. This matter requires all Fellow Daoists to give orders in all directions and act together. I refuse to believe that a mere new Dao can hide so deeply."

"Secondly, if the worst truly comes, and the disparity in strength between us and the enemy is too great..."

"I propose opening the Seal and summoning the powerful force from the Upper Realm, Xiwu Divine Hall, to employ the strategy of 'driving a tiger to swallow a wolf'!"

"As for what happens afterward, that will depend on our luck."

Venerable Qing Ming, holding the qingming divine sword, spoke with a faint tone.

As soon as the second strategy was proposed, the strongest individuals in the Mingyang Realm present fell silent.

"I agree."

"If there's no room for recovery, it's better to fight to the death."

The long blade behind Venerable Kuang Dao hummed softly, and his Battle Intent soared into the sky, rushing towards the enormous star that seemed to be separated by layers of invisible barriers.

Heavenly Qilin Demon Venerable and Asura Venerable slowly nodded.

"I will try to contact Fellow Daoist Mo."

Venerable He Run neither agreed nor objected.

"That person..."

Upon hearing this title, the four figures, including Venerable Kuang Dao, all trembled in their hearts, and an unknown expression appeared in their eyes.

"If we can truly contact that person, perhaps there will be a turning point."

"However, that person went to a vaster world in the Upper Realm back then. Even if we contact him, it might be difficult for him to return in a short time. But these are all later matters; we need to contact him first."

The few of them exchanged glances.

"Then we'll trouble Fellow Daoist He."

The few of them bowed together in a salute.

"Hehe, what I just said was only the worst-case scenario. What will happen then, we'll only know after seeing it for ourselves. We are not weak, after all."

Venerable Qing Ming chuckled softly.

"That is natural."

"Fellow Daoists, let us prepare separately."

After Venerable Kuang Dao finished speaking, he took a step and disappeared into the Void Realm.

Asura Venerable followed closely, and then Heavenly Qilin Demon Venerable and Venerable Qing Ming departed one after another.

Finally, Venerable He Run glanced at the enormous red star hanging in the sky and vanished.

Nancang Domain, Qingzhou, Yingyang Commandery, outside Cloud Dream Marsh.

Thunder flashed, and a dignified and righteous figure emerged from the thunder.

When this figure appeared, several people in the Cloud Dream Marsh, which was enveloped in a vast white mist, were startled awake by this aura. They paused, exited the Cloud Dream Marsh, and arrived before this majestic figure.

"Venerable."

Several figures, cutting through the clouds and mist, appeared and bowed in salute to this figure.

"No need for formalities."

"Xiuchang, can you contact your Family Old Ancestor?"

Venerable He Run's expression remained unchanged, but his aura had become much gentler as he spoke to the Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator who was leading them.

Zhou Xiuchang was startled, then thought of something and glanced at the star in the sky.

"Venerable, is it because of..."

Zhou Xiuchang pointed upwards.

"Indeed."

Venerable He Run nodded slightly.

"When Old Ancestor left, he did leave a method of contact. We are already preparing, but it still requires some time."

Zhou Xiuchang pondered for a moment, then nodded and slowly replied.

"Good."

"If you contact your Family Old Ancestor, just inform him of the changes that have occurred here. Fellow Daoist Mo will make his own decision."

Venerable He Run nodded, gave a warning, and then his figure disappeared.

"Farewell, Venerable."

Zhou Xiuchang, along with several Members of the Zhou Family who had entered the Golden Core Stage behind him, bowed in salute.

"It seems the situation has reached an irreversible point..."

Zhou Xiuchang straightened up, his expression slightly solemn, and then he and several figures behind him disappeared from the spot... At the same time, above the Mingyang Realm, through that enormous red, eerie star, and through layers of barriers and mist, a world even vaster than the Mingyang Realm seemed to appear before their eyes.

At this moment.

Above the sky of this world, which was vaster than the Mingyang Realm.

Three colossal figures were reflected in the sky, obscuring the light of the great sun and stars.

These three colossal figures were not human-like, possessing wings thousands of feet in size, burning with golden flames, and their crimson-golden light illuminated the heavens and earth.

The heavens and earth were scorching hot, with great droughts, and the people suffered greatly.

At this moment, below the heavens and earth, at the peak of a boundless mountain that towered into the sky.

An Aged Figure sat cross-legged, his face pale, his aura slightly unstable, seemingly maintaining something.

"Old Ancestor."

Several figures exuding the aura of a Nascent Soul Venerable arrived from outside and landed on the peak of this boundless mountain.

"How is it? Have you opened the passage to the other realm?"

The Aged Figure spoke with difficulty.

"Old Ancestor, it's still a little short."

Someone was silent for a moment before replying.

"Hurry, I can't hold on for too long."

The Aged Figure was not disappointed; connecting two realms was not that easy.

"Yes, Old Ancestor."

One of them took the order and left.

"How are Fellow Daoists Zhaoxian and Mangyi?"

The Aged Figure glanced at the departing figure, then turned to another and asked.

"Old Ancestor Zhaoxian and Old Ancestor Mangyi are not in good condition. They entrusted me to convey a message, hoping that Old Ancestor will preserve their lineage and ensure their Legacy continues."

The figure looked at by the Aged Figure had a slightly sorrowful expression.

"Go back and report to the two Fellow Daoists. This matter, I will certainly accomplish."

The Aged Figure's expression was a bit wistful; enemies they had fought their entire lives, yet he never expected them to be in such a state now.

That figure took the order and left.

At the peak of the boundless giant mountain, the Aged Figure looked up at the enormous phantom suspended in the sky, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"What exactly happened..."

"To make you all so crazy..."

These powerhouses from the Lower Realm were originally slowly eroding the Restrictions and Great Formation left by generations of Fellow Daoists, but five years ago, they began attacking like madmen, seemingly at all costs.

Now, even with their three Void Refining Great Powers working together, they are almost unable to resist.

"As long as the passage between the two realms is opened, we can retreat into that realm. At that time, we only need to cut off the passage to block these people in the Dark Star Great World..."

The Aged Figure sighed in his heart and looked at this vast world.

To hand over such a beautiful world to others, he was truly unwilling.
