Shu Mountain Road, the main peak's architecture, is far more magnificent and imposing than the South Garden.

First are the grand halls with plaques, each three stories high. In ancient times, the extravagance of a building was judged by the number of corbel brackets used.

The corbel brackets under the eaves of the Shu Mountain Great Halls are layered upon layer, intricately crafted, and very impressive.

There are nine such Great Halls on the main peak, one per plaza, ascending in a tiered formation to the summit.

However, the nine Great Halls, eroded by Yin energy, have peeling paint stained deep black, resembling ghostly buildings of the underworld.

Besides the nine Great Halls, there are continuous rows of houses and pavilions, but most have collapsed into ruins.

In these buildings and on the cracked stone plazas overgrown with withered weeds, float powerful wraiths. They are men and women, old and young, some with faces decayed and eyeballs hanging from their cheeks, others with shattered heads and dark blood staining half their face, and still others dragging their intestines as they drift about.

In addition to the wraiths, there are figures wandering the plazas and houses, powerful Yin corpses with uniformly pale black skin and tangled hair like withered grass.

Some have festering, pus-filled skin, others have protruding fangs, and still others wield rusty iron swords like swordsmen.

These spirit servants and Yin corpses, who were once Shu Mountain disciples and masters, have had their souls survive and their bodies mutate under the erosion of Yin energy, becoming powerful Yin creatures. However, at the moment the domineering and scorching golden sun rises, they melt away like snowmen thrown into hot water, at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The bodiless wraiths have almost no power to resist and are quickly purified, only managing to utter miserable screams.

The Yin corpses emit hoarse "ho-ho" roars, baring their fangs and claws as they pounce towards the source of the golden light. Their bodies become increasingly thin in the sunlight and turn to ashes while running before even getting close to Zhang Wuqing.

With a blazing sun rising behind his head and a mark appearing, Zhang Yuanqing strolls through the Shu Mountain Immortal Sect, walking from the first magnificent Great Hall to the second, and then the third. Wherever he goes, he purifies all wraiths and Yin corpses.

He walks slowly, as if wandering in his own backyard.

This is the correct way to play the Day Wanderer. Zhang Yuanqing is very satisfied.

Since entering the Dominator stage, he has never felt so carefree, with a sense of being the master of all creation, a domineering and heroic feeling that anyone who opposes him will die.

At level 7, because more powerful items could be used, they covered the Day Wanderer's special abilities, failing to highlight the domineering and powerful nature of the divine power of the sun.

Now that he has advanced to level 8, apart from a few trump card items, the other Dominator-quality items are not as good as his Rising Sun and Fiery Sun War God combination.

At this time, the power of the Day Wanderer is revealed. Yin corpses and wraiths below level 8 have no power to resist and turn to ashes in the domineering golden light.

After exploring the fourth Great Hall, Zhang Yuanqing dispels the Rising Sun and Fiery Sun War God, puts on the Companion Spirit Moon, and enters the Night Wanderer state, sitting cross-legged in the hall to rest and recover.

Although his soul has undergone a qualitative change and become a Yang God, his solar divine power is several times thicker, but he cannot be unrestrained. Forty minutes is his limit.

The boss hasn't appeared yet, so he should conserve his spiritual energy as much as possible.

The Battle of the Gods.

After arriving at the arena, the Lawful camp's Demigods tacitly took to the air, overlooking the small continent suspended thirty meters above the ground from a hundred meters in the sky.

Opposite them, on the other side of the arena, were the Evil camp's Demigods.

A distance of four or five kilometers is equivalent to a few meters for their eyesight. They can clearly see each other's expressions and eyes.

Draped in a starlight robe, the Taiyi Sect Master, whose gaze was not on the enemies and the arena but on the starlight flickering in his eyes, slowly said, "Everyone, the arena's mechanism is extremely unfavorable to us. Before the first battle, we need to unify our opinions and discuss countermeasures."

As the Lawful Demigods looked over, he said, "Evil professions are stronger than Lawful ones, and this is also true in the Demigod realm. During the free-for-all, our side has the advantage in numbers and a reasonable combination of abilities, which can suppress the Evil camp. But once it comes to one-on-one fights, the chances of winning are slim."

Hearing this, the Lawful Demigods turned their attention to the Evil Demigods, especially the strongest among them, the Asura with a level 12 position and the level 11 Dionysus.

There was also the level 11 Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, two level 10 Zhulong, two level 10 Illusion Gods, and the powerful Lunar Lord.

In contrast, in the Lawful camp, apart from the Star Lord having a level 11 position, all the other Demigods were level 10.

Moreover, in the interlude matches, the trump card Five Elements Fusion was useless. The only one that could be considered a trump card was the Void Demigod.

The Taiyi Sect Master continued, "There are two points to the arena's mechanism. First, to reduce the duration of both sides' array cores. Second, to reduce the number of Demigods. Only when the number of Demigods is reduced will the next round of array core battles not continue to be deadlocked."

The Lawful Demigods all looked serious.

The arena's mechanism, reducing the number of Demigods, is detrimental to the Lawful camp.

The Taiyi Sect Master's mixed 3D surround sound effect revealed a hint of solemnity: "Compared to the dungeon mechanism, I am more worried about the unseen enemies."

"Unseen enemies?" Gang Leader Jiang frowned, unable to understand what he meant.

The Taiyi Sect Master said, "The arena match is clearly targeting our Lawful camp. The appearance of this unfair mechanism is itself a kind of hostility, but not from the Spirit Realm, but from those existences."

Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked at the gray sky: "Everyone, please look!"

The Demigods all looked up.

The Taiyi Sect Master waved his hand, and brilliant starlight spread out in the sky.

In the Demigods' vision, the sky quickly faded, revealing the Spirit Realm world like a galaxy. Immediately, the Spirit Realm world also faded, and the perspective rose higher and higher, reaching infinitely high.

Suddenly, a pair of huge eyes opened in the darkness, as if occupying the entire world. These eyes were filled with fighting spirit, bloodlust, cruelty, and a madness-inducing power of seduction.

The perspective rose again, revealing a dark and filthy ocean. In the turbid waves, a vast shadow, as vast as a city wall and sweeping across millions of miles, appeared and disappeared. The huge, boundless figure was reminiscent of the Midgard Serpent in Norse mythology, the giant serpent that encircled the world.

The figure suddenly raised its head and looked at the Lawful Demigods. A vertical eye on its forehead bloomed with a faint blue beam.

The starlight collapsed, and the Lawful Demigods were struck as if by lightning. Some had bewitching demonic纹s appear on their bodies, while others had filthy liquid flowing from their pores. Their primordial spirits were covered in shadows and stained with filth.

A golden sun appeared above the Taiyi Sect Master's head, and with a series of "chi chi" sounds, the Lawful Demigods' abnormalities dissipated, and they returned to normal.

"Did you see that? Above the Spirit Realm are these existences," the Taiyi Sect Master said in a low voice.

"They are the supreme existences that invaded the Spirit Realm thousands of years ago," he sighed.

"Many years ago, I already noticed that Spirit Realm dungeons occasionally have bugs. Some bugs the Spirit Realm will fix on its own. And some bugs have continued to this day. For example, the Night Wanderer's trial, the Spirit Realm's residual Spirit Tunnel."

"In the past year, the number of Spirit Realm bugs has been increasing, especially after Ling Tuo disrupted the dungeon and obscured the Merit Board. Spirit Realm dungeon bugs have spread to the Dominator level."

"The reason for all this is that the invasion of those supreme existences into the Spirit Realm has deepened. Including this arena match mechanism, it is mostly their will."

The Lawful Demigods' expressions changed slightly. With their position, they were already well aware of the Spirit Realm-related information.

Chairman.

Took a breath of cold air, "Those guys have set their sights here? Will this strengthen the Evil Demigods' power?"

"Yes!" The Taiyi Sect Master gave a definite answer, "They also have to follow the dungeon's mechanism, but they will look for loopholes to give the Evil Demigods in the dungeon buffs and conveniences."

The Spirit Realm's administrators have all died. We can only rely on ourselves.

"In this battle, if I cannot become the Lord of the Sun, even if we survive by eking out a living, the Spirit Realm will be completely controlled by the Evil camp. At that time, we will still not escape destruction."

After clarifying the stakes, he said, "Getting back to the point, each interlude match can reduce the opponent's array effectiveness by one day. The Evil camp has occupied two arrays, for a total of six days, but in fact, we only need to win three in a row."

"The Evil camp needs to win seven consecutive matches to secure victory because we have one veto right." If the Lawful camp wins three in a row, it can directly restart one of the opponent's arrays.

With two Evil Demigods being eliminated, it is impossible to defend that array.

In this way, the Lawful camp will have four arrays.

After that, as long as they wait until the last array's effectiveness has passed, they can occupy five arrays by gathering the strength of the whole and obtain the Source of the Sun. If the Evil camp wants to win, winning five consecutive matches is the safest option, lasting five days, plus the time spent in the arena match, which is almost enough to allow the Lawful camp's two arrays to restart.

And the Lawful camp, which has had five Demigods eliminated, will no longer have the strength to confront the Evil camp.

"Winning three in a row is impossible!" Fu Qingxuan shook her head. "As long as Asura makes a move, the Evil camp will definitely win a game."

The Taiyi Sect Master's voice was layered and majestic, "Therefore, we must win three out of five matches."

Chairman raised his hand and smiled, "I can win a game. As long as I don't face Asura, I can kill the Evil Demigod and seize the authority, continue to pay-to-win, and keep winning. But I think the Evil camp won't let us exploit this loophole. If I don't make a move, Asura won't make a move."

"Then you stay on the field to restrain Asura," Gang Leader Jiang volunteered.

"I'll go first."

The white-haired and white-bearded Liu family Demigod shook his head and said, "The arena match must hold two bottom lines. One is that the five Alliance Leaders cannot play. If any of you are lost in the arena and the authority is taken, we will lose the trump card of the Five Elements Fusion. But the Star Lord cannot play. If the Star Lord encounters misfortune, the battle for the Sun will end early."

Lord of Midgard said, "We can decide our participation based on the opponent's roster. I and Chairman Baihua can both play. Gang Leader Jiang can forget it. The best outcome for you to play would be mutually assured destruction."

Gang Leader Jiang

The Gang Leader was unconvinced and was about to retort when the Water Goddess Officer's soft voice said, "We have two opportunities to be spared. Using one veto right should allow us to achieve zero losses. I just don't know if the exemption is limited to exempting life-and-death battles, or if it also exempts life and death and protects the time effectiveness from being reduced."

This detail is not explicitly stated in the dungeon.

"Another advantage is that the Evil camp puts out their roster first. We can choose who to send out based on the situation," Fu Qingxuan said.

This is very important because there is a principle of generation and overcoming in Spirit Realm professions. If the attributes are restrained, even if the level is weaker than the opponent, you can defeat the enemy.

Half an hour passed quickly, and the Spirit Realm prompt sounded again: "[Please choose the participating personnel.]"

Half an hour later, Zhang Yuanqing, who had recovered his spiritual power, left the Great Hall, activated Rising Sun and Fiery Sun War God, and let the golden light once again illuminate the Shu Mountain Immortal Sect, eliminating the Yin corpses and wraiths in the Yin energy.

He pushed all the way through, and during this period, he encountered several Dominator-level Yin corpses. After a fierce battle, he annihilated them.

Before long, he arrived at the summit, seeing the main hall. This hall had six stories, with eaves layered upon each other, and corbel brackets stacked to the point that it was dazzling. It was more magnificent and imposing than any Golden Top Hall.

The incense burner in front of the hall was overturned, the stone slabs were cracked, and what grew in the cracks was not weeds, but clusters of ink-colored strange grass. Although Zhang Yuanqing was not an Earth Element profession, he could tell that it was a rather precious Yin attribute spirit grass. The aura of this spirit grass changed the surrounding environment. The dungeon boss that grew out of this spirit grass, is at least early level 9, or even mid-level 9, Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.

At the Dominator stage, it is common for level 9 bosses to appear in level 8 S-rank dungeons.

He heard his uncle say that the strength of a mid-level 9 dungeon boss is at the peak of level 9.

As for level 9 peak Spirit Realm practitioners, they basically no longer have to worry about dungeons.

Because with their position, as long as they obtain a Demigod item, they can directly absorb and refine it and step into the Demigod realm. The only thing that can pose a threat to them is the trial dungeon for advancing to Demigod.

This type of dungeon frequently appeared in the early days of the Spirit Realm, but as Demigods were born one after another, these types of Spirit Realms gradually disappeared.

The most recent Demigod trial dungeon appeared in the White Tiger Corps' gang dungeon. It is said that Qing Ying cleared that dungeon and became the new Marshal.

At this time.

The spirit servants and Yin corpses that had been wandering outside were all purified by Zhang Yuanqing. The huge Shu Mountain was silent, and the sound of his footsteps climbing the stone steps could be heard clearly.

Zhang Yuanqing climbed the steps and stopped in front of the hall. Above his head hung a plaque that was about to fall, with the words: Sword Qi Hall!

He gently waved his right hand, and the force struck the tightly closed and rotten hall door.

With a crack, the hall door shattered, and the scene inside the hall came into view.
