Shentu's research on resurrection methods centered around the retribution body during his lifetime had other fatal flaws.

Even if this method itself can be established, it would at most prepare a resurrection medium that is "equivalent to another self." Ying Lingyun, in resurrecting Yinyue, must not only possess a resurrection medium but also manage to gather mana equivalent to ten Great Impermanence levels. If one intends to resurrect a Great Impermanence, who knows how much additional power would be required to meet the stringent conditions? A hundred Great Impermanence-levels? Or a thousand? Or perhaps even more?

According to Fa Zheng's speculation, the Evangelical Institute probably attempted resurrection with a dead-horse mentality after discovering the Great Demon God Shentu, following the resurrection method left by the Great Impermanence God Shentu. Although the description materials about the Great Impermanence God Shentu held by Lushan today are not particularly comprehensive, since the Evangelical Institute Master Yan Mo made this decision, it indicates a possibility that the Great Impermanence God Shentu might agree with the human massacre plan. If lucky, they could gain a new partner, and if they fail, there's no real loss.

And the result is the enemy that has appeared before us now...

I observed the opponent carefully. Although it seemed to possess reason and intelligence, the Great Demon God Shentu evidently lacked the awareness for language communication. Rather than "a Great Impermanence resurrected in a demon body," the impression conveyed was more akin to "a demon with advanced intelligence."

The Evangelical Institute's resurrection of the Great Impermanence God Shentu most likely only succeeded partially. At best, it made the Great Demon God Shentu cease unconditional slaughter of the living, establishing fundamental conditions for communication and cooperation with the outside world. Subsequently, the Evangelical Institute reached a cooperative relationship with it through some unknown means. It boils down to the fact that it's still a Great Demon.

Since my communication with Fa Zheng is telepathic, it might sound lengthy, but in reality, from beginning to end, it was but a moment.

After expressing his speculation, Fa Zheng raised the Human Dao Divine Weapon and said solemnly, "No matter the nature of the opponent, now that the enemy has appeared, we need only to eradicate it completely."

Upon finishing his sentence, ice magic power surged from him as he transformed into an ice-blue comet, leading the charge against the Great Demon God Shentu.

Since the enemy appeared so swiftly, it shows the ambush here is deliberate. The Great Demon God Shentu is the first to appear, but certainly not the last. There are definitely more threats lurking in the shadows.

We all charged forward, yet did not focus all our attention on the Great Demon God Shentu. Zhu Shi and Jian Feixian guarded Fa Zheng's flanks, vigilant against hidden ambushes. I followed at the rear, though I wished to charge forward like Fa Zheng, there was still someone I needed to protect.

I held Mazao tightly in my arms. Just as the Great Demon God Shentu appeared, Mazao seemed to be trying to channel more Power of Destiny Vortex. The aura from her body was steadily rising, reaching the limit allowed by Great Success Rank at a terrifying pace. But it seemed to be missing a little something, possibly because she wasn't directly confronting the Great Demon God Shentu, or because the Great Demon God Shentu is also an embodiment of Naraku Gospel, hence the Power of Destiny Vortex related to Naraku Gospel was not vigorous.

We need more "detonators" —

Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives. Just as this thought surfaced, a fierce "storm" suddenly swept across the scene.

Not a storm in the physical sense, but a space-time storm. If our present space-time were akin to air, then right now the air was in a state of severe chaos.

Compared to the stable real world, the post-mortem world's space-time is inherently chaotic, like a thick fog with low visibility, and now it has transformed into an extremely violent fog hurricane. The scenery before us became extraordinarily distorted; if likened to a huge canvas, there seemed to be an invisible hand kneading and tearing at the canvas.

Direction, proximity, color, texture... all the things bearing upon the world's canvas were twisted and chaotic amidst the space-time storm. Distant buildings and the land below were brutally torn and destroyed during this process. Once space-time splits open, it reveals an endless darkness, with cracks presenting themselves like numerous jet-black lightning bolts spreading radially, increasing in number, darkness relentlessly expanding.

Normal matter can no longer continue to exist here; the only things remaining unscathed in view are the distant Du Shuo Mountain and the Great Demon God Shentu, as well as us Great Impermanence beings. Zhu Shi also maintained his presence through the power of the Yama Sword, while Mazao was under the protection of my power.

Without hesitation, I unleashed my Fire Sea, transforming the regions gradually consumed by darkness into a field filled with boundless firelight; Fa Zheng, without any hesitation, pressed forward to assault the Great Demon God Shentu.

The Great Demon God Shentu seemed to finally be unable to suppress his slaughtering urge, raised his head, and roared. Around him, no less than three Great Impermanence level mana fluctuations exploded simultaneously—three unknown black shadows filled with violent aura emerged from space-time cracks, seemingly aggregations of some colossal power, their bodily forms unstable.

Zhu Shi and Jian Feixian immediately moved to intercept these three Great Impermanence level shadows. Simultaneously, in this inverted realm, a new figure enveloped in rolling dark energy suddenly struck in from a certain direction at incredible speed, colliding with Fa Zheng who had transformed into an ice-blue comet. With a thunderous crash, Fa Zheng wielding the Human Dao Divine Weapon was actually repelled, while the figure also retreated some distance, yet evidently much less.

That figure was a male, clad in ancient and solemn black religious attire; his gaze carried an overlooking cold indifference.

The newcomer was none other than the Evangelical Institute Master Yan Mo, whom I had once encountered.

"It's been over a hundred years, Fa Zheng, and Jian Feixian."

His gaze swept over us one by one, finally landing on me, "And, Shan Liangyi's..."

"—Yama!"

Before he could finish speaking, Fa Zheng shouted intensely and once again transformed into a swiftly moving ice-blue comet, charging straight towards him.

"You're still as impatient as ever." Yama's face showed a hint of displeasure.

I didn't plan to let him continue talking either. I directly launched a full-powered Flame Light Cannon at this formidable enemy, Yama. From my observations and judgment, in terms of individual power levels, Yama's strength was stronger than either me or Fa Zheng, who wielded the Human Dao Divine Weapon. However, as long as Fa Zheng and I joined forces, we were confident we could overpower and defeat him.

Yet, since even I could make this judgment, the other side was undoubtedly aware. They were well-prepared for an ambush here. Facing my Flame Light Cannon, unbelievably, Yama did not dodge at all and instead made a counterattack towards Fa Zheng's ice-blue comet. Then, an incomprehensible scene unfolded before my eyes—the Flame Light Cannon just passed through Yama without any collision.

It was as if Yama and I had become entities from two different dimensions, unable to touch or harm each other.

Unlike me, Fa Zheng was completely unaffected and clashed with Yama in combat.

Immediately, I understood the source of this bizarre phenomenon—it was the influence of the Space-Time Storm.

In the next instant, a new figure appeared in the distance.

It was a man in his thirties or forties with long hair, unimaginatively dressed in a black-red funeral robe, gazing at me with hatred and malice. He said, "Long time no see, Zhuang Cheng..."

Ming Zhuo finally reappeared before me.

To be honest, in my view, the most noteworthy opponent in this battle wasn't the immensely powerful Evangelist Master Yama, nor the enigmatic Great Demon God T, but this previous Lushan Great Impermanence Ming Zhuo, who once tasted defeat at my hands.

It's not because of any feud between us, but because, according to my calculations, he was the most threatening enemy present.

Upon seeing him, I instinctively launched another Flame Light Cannon at him. Unfortunately, as with my attack on Yama earlier, it passed through Ming Zhuo's body as if through an illusion.

I wasn't the only one attacking Ming Zhuo; Zhu Shi also reflexively attacked from a distance, sending out a razor-sharp silver-white Sword Qi, which also proved futile.

This Space-Time Storm didn't just tear apart space-time; it also segmented the space-time we occupied into different layers. Only those on the same layer could affect one another; otherwise, we could only stand by and watch. If my observations were correct, the entities I couldn't interfere with were not just Yama and Ming Zhuo, but even Zhu Shi and Jian Feixian were separated from me. If I hadn't been holding tightly to Mazao, Mazao might have been separated by this Space-Time Storm as well.

The storm's power far surpassed mine; simply relying on my flames was impossible to break through it forcibly. To achieve this, one would need to unleash power that exceeded the storm, or possess special abilities that strongly counteract the storm.

And Jian Feixian seemed to have just such an ability.

"Don't block my way!"

Without even glancing at Ming Zhuo, he swung his sword powerfully towards Fa Zheng's direction. The Space-Time Storm, which appeared like an all-encompassing net, was forcibly cleaved open by his sword.

The Great Unpredictable Sword Jian Feixian, possessing Sword Qi of legendary ability to cut through everything, had the formidable power to sever time and space. Previously, he teamed up with Gua Tianshi to prevent the occurrence of Doomsday Space-Time in the real world, achieving irreplaceable feats in saving the world. And now, even this overwhelming Space-Time Storm struggled to stop him.
