Chapter 677: The Ouni Clan of the Dao Nine World

"Something’s not right!" Li Hui’s expression turned cold, shocking Tianyi into a momentary silence.

"What has made you angry, my lord?" Tianyi stood up, her head emitting a booming sound, instantly drawing her closer to the starry sky, where the stars appeared as large as loquats and their light fell like zither strings, producing a tinkling sound.

"Hmph, what witch priestess? It turns out that the woman from Changsheng Tian comes from the Dao Nine World. Old Demon Granny said the cultivators from the Dao Nine World like to implant various demons into their bodies. I was wondering why this method seemed so similar to the Haotu Sect’s underground Ominous Array of Covering Sky, which camouflages their collaboration with demonic hearts. Today, after searching it out, I realized that the practitioners around her are half-human, half-demon, and not your ordinary sort. They are fused with wild demons of the type."

At that moment, a roar came from the mountain: "Who dares to spy on us, the Ouni Clan?"

Li Hui didn’t bother with pleasantries; thankfully, he arrived just in time. Those practitioners were preparing an altar, wanting to use bizarre means to resurrect Changsheng Tian.

"Exterminate everyone here—humans, ghosts, demons." A command echoed from his carriage, and his followers respectfully acknowledged: "We obey your orders, to exterminate all humans, ghosts, and demons here."

The words spread: "Exterminate…"

"Exterminate…"

"Exterminate…"

"Boom…" Six spirit treasure platforms as large as grinding discs appeared in the air, their patterns intertwining, ascending swiftly. When they aligned on the same plane, a sharp sound rang out, and like opening a heavenly gate, a thick light barrier tore open, revealing tens of thousands of figures, followed by even more people teleporting in.

"Wind, wind, wind, wind…" Sixty thousand All-Manifestation Realm cultivators clad in blue armor swirled around the first grinding disc, waving red and blue feathers to whip up a storm, creating a terrifying pressure in the air.

"Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder…" Sixty thousand All-Manifestation Realm cultivators donned helmets and armor, surrounding the second disk while wielding lightning spears that summoned thunderous strikes against the mountains below.

"Fire, fire, fire, fire…" Another sixty thousand All-Manifestation Realm cultivators dressed in red battle armor, with capes fluttering, raised beast bones filled with magma, igniting golden flames all around.

"Mountains, mountains, mountains, mountains…" Finally, sixty thousand cultivators donned greyish-golden spiked armor, holding golden pagodas that cast heavy mountain shadows downward. Nearby peaks crumbled instantly, a sight both fearsome and terrifying!

In total, two hundred forty thousand All-Manifestation Realm cultivators launched an attack, with two more grinding discs floating centrally and directly above. The central disc was surrounded by nearly a thousand Profound Law Stage cultivators, while the overhead disc was taken over by twenty-four Traveling Realm cultivators, quickly forming the four-corner formation.

"Exterminate…"

"Boom, rumble…" At this moment, Xumeng Mountain ceased to exist, leaving behind only shattered stones. However, Li Hui did not relent, allowing the power of wind, thunder, fire, and volcanic eruptions to turn the area into a sea of sand, revealing an ancient ruin.

This ancient ruin had only the central Temple left, while surrounding structures had turned into crumbling walls and remnants. The four divisions of Mufeng City’s army were utterly shocked, realizing that their combined efforts failed to budge even a fraction of the ruins. Not even the broken walls shifted—what kind of place was this?

Li Hui cast a glance and commanded, "Continue the extermination; destroy the ruins."

"Understood!" After the orders, the thousand Profound Law Stage cultivators conjured spirit treasures. Instantly, wind, thunder, and fiery volcanic energies surged forth with a violent vigor.

Fire meteors streaked with lightning crashed down, causing the remnants near the ancient temple to erupt with thundering blasts, sending debris flying.

Such tremendous force still could not shake the temple; it merely obliterated nearby structures. High above, the twenty-four Traveling Realm cultivators released enormous legal forms, merging their powers within the formation, and out of the thunderous sounds arose a forty-thousand-zhang tall one-eyed giant.

This giant seemed to have brought with it a massive black mountain, fiercely smashing it downward, while from its single eye shot forth divine flames of thunder, exploding upon contact with the ground and carving a chasm.

In a blink, the chasm extended rapidly, targeting the Temple directly.

Li Hui suddenly shouted, "Defend!"

All the All-Manifestation Realm cultivators were puzzled; they were on the verge of destroying the temple, why shift to a defensive stance now? From within their ear discs, they heard a buzzing sound as a swarm of black arrows pierced through the wind, thunder, and flames attacking.

The central Profound Law Stage cultivators reacted quickly, already activating the formation, switching from offense to defense in a heartbeat.

Suddenly, the black feathered arrows ascending into the sky magnified, expanding from three feet to three zhang, releasing overwhelming demonic energy, sweeping away obstacles, and in an instant, they reached the front lines of the formation.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang…"

Many cultivators witnessed arrows colliding with the formation, creating dazzling sparks. More and more arrows multiplied, splitting into two, four, and rapidly expanding, creating a heart-stopping spectacle.

Just as the arrows were about to breach the defensive barrier and enter the formation, the twenty-four Traveling Realm cultivators high above dared not hold back and unleashed various ultimate techniques to suppress these black arrows.

Li Hui thought, "So that’s it. Changsheng Tian is not a practitioner of this world either. The black arrows unleashed against me when we clashed were the same! These practitioners call themselves the Ouni Clan, and they have harbored ill intentions to usurp the position of the Unrivaled Calamity Master of this world. I can’t imagine how many Hundred Tribulation cultivators they have exterminated before me; their final roars may still echo in my ears."

Tianyi waved her hand, commanding ten late-stage Traveling Realm cultivators beside her to act. She also manipulated the starlight, sending forth a swarm of bizarre insects.

Hao Yue Lin had prepared a multitude of deadly strikes and backup plans against Li Hui, but she never expected Li Hui to eliminate her so swiftly, leaving her with no time to unleash any more tricks.

Thus, it fell to Tianyi. The insects she sent out were a type of bizarre creature unknown in records.

"Those are the Heavenly Shifting Demonic Worms from the Demon Five World." Many cultivators within the temple were astounded, understanding this demonic worm would cling like maggots to flesh, extremely hard to eradicate. They quickly unleashed powerful techniques, converting the black arrows into a flood to annihilate the insect swarm.

At the same time, the four-corner formation blocked the incoming arrows, launching a counteroffensive. The ground split, creating chasms that rapidly extended toward the temple, with chaos of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind ensuing.

A sound emanated from within the temple: "City lord of Mufeng City, are you not afraid of angering the Dao Nine World with such aggression? We are quite united at present; retreat now and you can retain your dignity."

Li Hui’s booming voice responded, "You think to use the Dao Nine World to pressure me? I’m intent on being aggressive to force you out, lest the Nine Maangs practitioners face the Demonic Essence World while you stab us in the back!"

"Hmph, our Dao Nine World entered the Dharma Demon world long ago to help you against the Demon Five World. We are enemies of the Demon Five World!"

"Hahaha!" Li Hui laughed heartily, "Is that really true? How come I tracked down that you have wiped out many cultivators of this world, all of whom were survivors of the Hundred Battles, meant to flourish, yet you relentlessly forced them to their deaths? You seem to enjoy selecting two cultivators to battle until they are on the brink of annihilation, then snatching their souls and sending them here! Can you tell me what this is for?"

"Attack! He has figured out part of our plan." Suddenly, numerous cultivators appeared from the temple, drawing longbows and unleashing bursts of eerie light.
