The righteous path unites, their army besieging ten thousand demons.

Qingyun Sect, Tianxue Peak.

This place has the richest Spiritual Qi in the Qingyun Mountain Range, the best place to receive Heavenly light, and it is also the place where Elder Qingyun, the Grand Elder of the Qingyun Sect, cultivates. Usually, it is surrounded by mist, with cranes dancing, a true scene of immortals.

But at this moment, inside the ancient Immortal Cave at the Peak, the atmosphere is heavy and oppressive.

On the warm jade cloud bed in the center of the Immortal Cave, Lin Hao sits cross-legged, eyes tightly closed. His bare upper body, originally severely injured by Nightmare's Demonic Star Flame, with shattered bones and damaged Meridians, is now covered by a layer of thick, inseparable pale golden liquid. This liquid flows slowly as if it has life, penetrating deep into his skin, muscles, and bones. Wherever it passes, the injuries heal and regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye, even becoming tougher and faintly revealing a jade-like luster.

Wisps of pure white Spiritual Qi, full of righteous energy and majestic vitality, rise from the earth vein spirit eye channeled beneath the cloud bed, slowly absorbed into Lin Hao's body, cooperating with the pale golden liquid to nourish his Nascent Soul and Divine Soul.

At the center of his eyebrows, the jade pendant gifted by the Heavenly Dao that saved his life at a critical moment has disappeared. Replacing it is a more complex, more profound pale golden rune mark, flickering, emitting fluctuations resonating with the Heavenly Dao.

Beside the cloud bed, Elder Qingyun, with a pale face and still weak aura, is personally protecting him. Fairy Qing Xuan stands quietly at the cave entrance, her face still a bit pale, but her injuries have stabilized under the care of the Sect's Spirit Medicine. Su Wan has been placed in the quiet room next door, carefully taken care of by an Elder proficient in medicine from the Sect. Although she has not woken up, her life aura has stabilized.

After a long time.

The pale golden light and pure white Spiritual Qi surrounding Lin Hao slowly converge and sink into his body. He slowly opens his eyes, a golden light flashing in them, deeper and more majestic than before, vaguely having a strange rhythm of breathing with Heaven and Earth. A Spiritual Pressure more solid and vast than when he was at Bone Burial Abyss naturally radiates out.

Mid-stage Dao Replenishing, completely stabilized, even faintly touching the Peak of the Middle Stage!

Not only that, he feels his connection with the supreme will in the dark is closer, and his affinity for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and his perception of the Law of Order have both improved by a level. The qingyang sacred sword (replica) inside his body, although its spirituality was damaged, is slowly healing its cracks under the nourishment of the Heavenly Dao golden light.

Many thanks to Elder Qingyun for protecting me. Lin Hao gets off the bed, bows to Elder Qingyun, his voice steady and powerful.

Elder Qingyun looks at the aura on Lin Hao that is clearly on a higher level, as well as the Heavenly Dao mark on his forehead. A trace of complexity flashes in his eyes, but more is relief and firmness. He strokes his long beard and sighs: Young Friend Lin has good fortune, favored by the Heavenly Dao. This time, it's a blessing in disguise, and your cultivation has advanced, which is truly the fortune of the Righteous Path. That Devil Head Nightmare, stealing the ancient demon Legacy, doing such Heaven-Defying things, will surely meet Heavenly retribution!

Mentioning Nightmare, cold light overflows from Lin Hao's eyes, and his killing intent is about to break out of his body. The crushing defeat at Bone Burial Abyss, Su Wan's serious injury, the star dao fruit being snatched, nearly falling himself... All of this is thanks to Nightmare! This hatred is irreconcilable!

Elder's words are very true. Lin Hao's voice is cold, Nightmare, this villain, has already gained momentum and is colluding with the ancient chaotic Legacy. Its harm far exceeds ordinary Devil Heads. If left unchecked, it will surely become a great disaster sweeping the world! We Cultivators of the Righteous Path, acting in obedience to Heaven, how can we sit idly by?

Elder Qingyun deeply agrees: What does Young Friend plan to do?

Relying solely on us or the power of one Sect or faction, I fear it will be difficult to completely eradicate it. Lin Hao's eyes burn, We must unite the Righteous Path of the world, form an Anti-Demonic Alliance, and with the momentum of thunder, sweep the dens, and completely wipe out this villain and its party in the cradle!

He pauses and continues: I have received the revelation of the Heavenly Dao. After Nightmare obtains the Legacy, it will surely look for a Foundation to resist the reckoning of the Heavenly Dao. The place it is most likely to go is that Ten Thousand Demon Valley which hides dirt and gathers demons from all over the world! We must seize the opportunity before it completely integrates the forces of Ten Thousand Demon Valley, march troops to Ten Thousand Demon Valley, and achieve victory in one battle!

Ten Thousand Demon Valley... Elder Qingyun's eyes freeze, That place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with many Cultivators of the Demonic Path, and no lack of experts. If we want to attack by force, we need a careful plan and even more sufficient strength.

This is exactly where I need the Elder's help. Lin Hao bows, I ask the Elder, with your status as the Grand Elder of the Qingyun Sect, to go with me to lobby the major Righteous Sects such as Qingyang Sect, Wudang Sect, Shenfu Sect, and Heavenly Sword Pavilion, to explain the pros and cons, and jointly form an Anti-Demonic Alliance! With my name as the son of destiny and the revelation of the Heavenly Dao as proof, we will surely get a response!

Elder Qingyun ponders for a moment, then nods heavily: It concerns the Luck of the Righteous Path in the world, this old man is duty-bound! My Qingyun Sect is willing to be an example and fully support Young Friend Lin in establishing the Anti-Demonic Alliance!

With the full support of this veteran Soul Transformation expert from the Qingyun Sect, Lin Hao's confidence is even greater. The two discussed briefly and set off immediately.

Over the next few days, Lin Hao and Elder Qingyun traveled tirelessly between major Righteous Sects.

At the Qingyang Sect, Lin Hao displayed the Heavenly Dao mark, tearfully denounced the crimes of Nightmare destroying the Xuantian Sect, severely injuring the Qingyang Sect, and snatching the ancient Righteous Path Legacy, which ignited the shared hatred of the Qingyang Sect. The Qingyang Sect, already having a feud with Nightmare, was the first to respond.

At the Wudang Sect, Lin Hao and Elder Qingyun visited the Grand Elder of the Wudang Sect who had been in seclusion for many years. Using the general trend of the Heavenly Dao, the rise of demons and the decline of the Dao, and the danger to the common people, they persuaded this respected Deity Transformation Cultivator to come out of seclusion.

At the Shenfu Sect, Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and other Sects, Lin Hao also used his identity as the son of destiny and the guarantee of Elder Qingyun, plus the terrifying prospect that Nightmare might have obtained ancient Demonic Technique and threatens all the Righteous Path, successfully persuading the leaders of these Sects.

The entire lobbying process went extremely smoothly. On one hand, Lin Hao's identity as the son of destiny and the implicit endorsement of the Heavenly Dao made his words highly persuasive. On the other hand, the sudden emergence and actions of Nightmare indeed touched the sensitive nerves of the Righteous Path Alliance, especially the news that it might have obtained a powerful Legacy and fled to Ten Thousand Demon Valley, making the major Sects feel a tangible threat.

In just seven days, an Anti-Demonic Alliance with Lin Hao as the Alliance Leader, Elder Qingyun as the Deputy Alliance Leader, and including more than a dozen top-tier Righteous Sects such as the Qingyun Sect, Qingyang Sect, Wudang Sect, Shenfu Sect, and Heavenly Sword Pavilion was announced! The Sects agreed to each send elites, gather at the Qingyun Mountain Range, and set off in unison!

On the very day the Alliance was established, a strange phenomenon occurred.

Above the Qingyun Mountain Range, clouds rolled, and a pure, flawless golden pillar of light full of sacred and majestic aura, ignoring any Formation obstruction, fell from the Nine Heavens, directly projecting onto the temporary oath-taking platform built by the Alliance!

Inside the pillar of light, countless tiny golden runes fell like snowflakes, and finally condensed above the high platform into eighty-one demon suppressing talisman seals, each the size of a palm, neither gold nor jade, with mysterious Dao patterns flowing on the surface!

A grand, cold will, seemingly originating from the rules themselves, sounded directly in the minds of Lin Hao and all the senior members of the Alliance:

Bestowing upon you the demon suppressing talisman seal, which can restrain Devilish Qi, enhance the power of Righteous Daoist Magic, and suppress evil.

Heavenly Dao blessing!

The Cultivators of the Alliance who witnessed this scene were all shocked in their minds, and they had no doubt about Lin Hao's identity as destined by Heaven, and their morale instantly rose to the extreme! Even the Heavenly Dao directly bestowed treasures to assist in the battle, this battle will surely be won!

Amidst the awe-struck and fanatical gazes of the crowd, Lin Hao stepped forward and respectfully collected all the demon suppressing talisman seals and distributed them to the lead Cultivators of each Sect. Holding the talisman seal, he felt his connection with the Heavenly Dao become closer, and a vast power seemed to be ready to be added to himself at any time.

Destiny is with me, the Demonic Path shall be executed! Lin Hao raised the qingyang sacred sword high, pointing it towards the direction of Ten Thousand Demon Valley, his voice spreading throughout the mountains and fields, Anti-Demonic Alliance, set off today! The goal—level Ten Thousand Demon Valley, kill Nightmare!

Level Ten Thousand Demon Valley! Kill Nightmare!

The sound of response like a mountain tsunami rose, shaking the clouds.

The Cultivators of the Anti-Demonic Alliance, led by the Elders and Sect Heads of their respective Sects, turned into torrents of escape light of different colors, gathering behind Lin Hao. Golden Core Stage Cultivators flew by controlling artifacts, Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators had swift escape lights, and there were three Soul Transformation Stage experts (Elder Qingyun, Void-Comforter, and a Loose Cultivator Soul Transformation expert who came out of seclusion at the call of the Heavenly Dao) whose auras were unmasked, deterring all directions.

Dozens of Golden Core, more than ten Nascent Soul, and three Soul Transformation! Coupled with Lin Hao, the son of destiny Alliance Leader, and the demon suppressing talisman seals bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, the strength of this team is enough to sweep any single force in the cultivation world!

The army set off, mighty and blocking the sky, heading straight towards Ten Thousand Demon Valley tens of thousands of miles away, crushing over! Wherever they passed, Devilish Qi dissipated, evil spirits lay dormant, Righteous Path Cultivators all looked sideways, and Demonic Path Loose Cultivators fled at the sight.

In just two days, this huge army gathering the essence of the Righteous Path had arrived ten miles outside Ten Thousand Demon Valley.

Lin Hao ordered to set up camp. In an instant, lights of various colors flashed, and camps, Formation Flags, and defensive works were built at an astonishing speed, surrounding the entrance and exit of Ten Thousand Demon Valley tightly. The golden Demon Suppressing Light Curtain flickered between the camps, connecting into one piece, vaguely forming a huge encirclement. The powerful Righteous Path aura and Heavenly Dao pressure mixed and permeated towards the valley, forming a sharp confrontation with the gray-black Devilish Qi rolling in the valley.

In the main tent, Lin Hao stood at the tent entrance, looking at Ten Thousand Demon Valley in the distance, which was covered in thick Devilish Qi like a crouching giant beast, his eyes cold and confident.

Nightmare... you hide here, thinking you can escape a disaster? He whispered to himself, his fingers gently rubbing the hilt of the qingyang sacred sword, This time, with Heaven's help and human unity, I will make you, and all the monsters in this Ten Thousand Demon Valley, pay the price for Wan'er, for the dead comrades!

Meanwhile, inside Ten Thousand Demon Valley.

Nightmare stood at the top of the black bone tower, hands behind his back, his deep eyes penetrating the layers of Devilish Qi, landing on the continuous camps and rising Righteous Path aura outside the valley. Behind him, Li Xiehe, and several Nascent Soul Peak Elders in the valley stood solemnly, their faces heavy.

It's here. Nightmare's voice was calm and waveless, with no emotion, One day faster than expected.

Li Xiehe said in a deep voice: Lord Nightmare, looking at this Formation, the Righteous Path Alliance is almost out in full force. There are at least three Soul Transformation auras, no less than ten Nascent Soul, and even more Golden Core... And that golden light should be emitted by the demon suppressing talisman seal bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, which has a significant suppression on our Devilish Qi.

Nightmare nodded, his eyes sweeping across the valley. After his three days of sleepless reorganization and arrangement, the defense system of Ten Thousand Demon Valley had been greatly reinforced by him using his knowledge of star Formations, and the Cultivators in the valley had also been initially integrated and organized. Although their Battle Intent was uneven, under the pressure of life and death, they had also condensed a kind of evil energy.

The Formation is set, power is gathered. Nightmare turned slowly, his eyes sweeping over the people behind him, and deep in his eyes, the Demonic Star Flame burned quietly, Next, it is time to see the real deal.

He looked outside the valley, where the flags of the Righteous Path were hunting in the wind, as if announcing the arrival of judgment.

And the corner of Nightmare's mouth slowly hooked into a cold and arrogant arc.

Want to judge me? Then let's see if your Heavenly Dao Sword is sharper, or my Demonic Star... is better at burning the firmament!
