[Three More Updates, Requesting Votes]_3 He sensed the vulnerability and confusion of all the creatures involved in the war everywhere.

Not only were the Immortal Soldiers affected, but so were the True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals.

Li Ping’an did not know how much time had passed, as he wandered back and forth in the hearts of living beings until the Human Race launched their second offensive.

Suddenly, a familiar Demonic Qi appeared behind the Demon Race, and a colossal demon shadow thousands of feet tall emerged between heaven and earth.

Chiyou, the leader of the soldiers, had reappeared in the world.

Correspondingly, the rear of the Human Race manifested a radiant Dragon Qi, and Xuanyuan Huangdi made his presence known, standing face-to-face with Chiyou across the void.

Shortly after, an even fiercer battle erupted.

Suddenly, the sky filled with the sound of chanting, and numerous Golden Clouds appeared with countless figures descending from them, the majority of them from the Human Race, emitting fluctuations of Spiritual Power that ranged around the Yuan Immortal Realm.

The Western Sect deployed their Dao Soldiers!

Following Chiyou’s appearance, millions of Dao Soldiers joined the fray, causing a shift in the entire battlefield dynamic.

Although the Human Race had a contingency plan in place, the fearless charges of the Dao Soldiers still pushed the front line south.

The next phase was a protracted tug-of-war that lasted an entire month.

Constant streams of Human Race Immortal Soldiers poured in, and many sects’ Qi Cultivators and Loose Cultivator experts appeared on various battlefields.

Dao Soldiers from the Western Sect also continuously joined the battlefield.

Soon, targeting the Dao Soldiers, the Human Race experts developed many tactics, the most effective method being to envelop the battle in the sound of Immortal Technique, which significantly slowed the movements of the Dao Soldiers.

These Dao Soldiers of the Western Sect were clearly only half-finished products with many flaws.

Once this was understood, the morale of the Human Race greatly increased.

On the forty-fifth day of the second warfare, there was a gap in the defenses of the Demon Race in the north of the Western Continent, and the Human Race Immortal Soldiers powerfully entered, creating a second battlefield.

This surprise attack was successful and was directly related to the slaying of an ancient giant crocodile from the Sea of Blood.

On the fifty-sixth day of the second warfare, in the northwest of the Western Continent, several gods under Shennong Shi appeared, leading Shennong’s trusted aides as the vanguard, and opened a third battlefield through the Demon Race soldiers.

The divine generals from two generations of Human Emperors exerted their power simultaneously, initiating a pincer movement from the north and south against the groups of demons on the Western Continent.

On the sixty-third day of the second warfare, Xuanyuan Huangdi personally led three thousand Xiongnu trusted aides, directly striking at Chiyou, and a great battle unfolded between him and the Demon Kings led by Chiyou, resulting in Chiyou’s defeat again and retreating a thousand miles.

Chiyou’s strength had not significantly decreased compared to ancient times;

However, compared to the battle of Zhuolu 80,000 years ago, Xuanyuan Huangdi’s Dao Realm had considerably advanced, and the Way of Humanity treasure in his hands, the Xuanyuan Sword, was more powerful than in ancient times.

Victory’s scales had now tipped in favor of the Human Race.

Such a situation had occurred in ancient times, but at that time, Xuanyuan Huangdi, leading many fallen demon experts to pursue the groups of demons, was blocked by the sudden appearance of the Western Sect’s second hierarch, Zhunti.

But today;

Still upon this same land;

The Heavenly Dao Charm of Tongtian Sect Leader quietly lay dormant beside them.

Zhunti, did not dare to show himself.

Xuanyuan Huangdi, gazing towards the direction of the spiritual mountain, thought silently in his heart, ‘Ping’an, thank you.’

Li Ping’an heard this murmur.

He did not linger near Xuanyuan Huangdi, smiling and raising an eyebrow instead, his heart gradually filled with realizations, for the Dao he now comprehended was incredibly clear.

This Dao was known as the Way of All Beings, born from the Way of Living Beings, yet not merely the Way of Humanity.

Through this way, one could achieve the fruit of being a Heavenly Emperor.

To cultivate this Dao, one must comprehend all beings, wander through the mortal world, experience the seven emotions, and refine the six desires, eventually resonating with all beings.

Li Ping’an was not in a hurry to withdraw his spirit; such chances were rare, and he intended to continue utilizing the Eyes of Heavenly Dao to delve into the passions of living beings.

The great battle soon erupted again.

Xuanyuan Huangdi commanded the Human Race to launch a total assault on three fronts, declaring the goal to break through the Western Continent within a year.

Li Ping’an continued his unbounded wandering.

Some small-scale disturbances appeared in the Misty Realm, but they were quickly quelled by the Ten Heavenly Lords of Jinao Island, prearranged there by Li Ping’an;

A plague had also erupted in the Misty Realm, prompting the Ten Heavenly Lords to enlist two Jie Sect experts skilled in spreading pestilence; the epidemic was swiftly suppressed.

Even so, those two experts in plague displayed strong dissatisfaction about being called over for such a minor outbreak.

Li Ping’an, of course, was unaware of this as he continued to wander through the minds of living beings.

The great war halted intermittently, with the Demon Race losing over half of their land.

The Human Race refrained from committing mass slaughter, embodying the principle of “punishing the ancient malefic demons” throughout the army.

Although the Human Race’s Immortal Soldiers had not yet reached the level of “not taking a single needle or thread from the Hundred Clans,” compared to their counterparts, they were noble and of high integrity.

The Heavenly Dao even actively reduced the karma that was supposed to befall the Human Race.

Just as Li Ping’an thought to end this enlightenment, he resonated with a group of peculiar beings.

The sights of these beings were dim, as if moving through a thick liquid.

And their Dao hearts…

Empty, pale, devoid of any color, covered only in a mist of grey, their sole emotion was ‘slaughter,’ more pure and formidable than the Demon Soldiers affected by the “Soul Devouring Mantra.”

They were continuously rising;

Their numbers were vast;

Among them were many formidable beings, all seemingly incomplete and imperfect.

Li Ping’an quickly identified these peculiar beings as he flowed through their minds.

The Sea of Blood, the Asura clan!

Without hesitation, Li Ping’an violently extricated himself from the state of enlightenment, and before he could even open his eyes, he began to harness the power of the Heavenly Dao to observe the Western Continent.

He saw it.

After previous successive battles, blood on various battlefields had started pooling underground without notice.

A surge of blood, like magma churning before a volcanic eruption, burst upward from deep beneath the earth, rapidly approaching the surface of the Western Continent.

Li Ping’an immediately warned the Xuanyuan Huangdi.

On the ground above, the originally dominant Human Race suddenly retreated thousands of miles in three directions, forming large formations and preparing to leave at any moment.

This ceasefire was to prevent more blood from seeping into the earth, which could serve as a bridge for the Asura to emerge.

After warning Xuanyuan Huangdi, Li Ping’an intended to enter seclusion to ponder the Way of All Beings, but before he could enter the state of enlightenment, a disturbance occurred within the Demon Race.

Since the Human Race had voluntarily withdrawn from the battle to prevent their blood from summoning the Asura,

Then…

At the command of the Calamity Venerable, numerous fierce demons slaughtered hundreds of Demon Race villages, gathering the blood to inject underground.

From behind the Demon Race’s battle formation, a blood-red lotus rapidly materialized.

Nine Heavens above, Li Ping’an opened his eyes, his entire being radiating intense majesty.

A White Jade Temple slowly emerged behind him, inside of which thirty-six White Jade Pillars each depicted the myriad states of living beings.

On each side of the temple hung two massive murals, the left mural depicting the “Peace” of life breeding, the right depicting the “War” of life slaughtering each other.

The temple was an illusory manifestation of The Great Dao.

Thunder rumbled through Li Ping’an’s body as his Dao Realm soared abruptly, reaching directly to the Second Rank of Heavenly Immortal.

Clouds of azure obscured the White Jade Temple, signifying the coexistence of the Great Dao of Clouds and the Way of All Beings.

Moments later, the visions dissipated, and Li Ping’an rose up, his face iron-grey.

Guilingling and Zi Yao Xianzi both stepped forward, their eyes carrying a hint of inquiry.

Li Ping’an plainly stated, “The Jie Sect is not suited for the act of killing; I request some assistance from Zi Yao Xianzi.”

Zi Yao Xianzi inquired, “What happened?”

Li Ping’an looked towards the ground below and spoke slowly:

“Minghe is here.”
