Li Qingshan needed to unify his nine lives.
The Immortal Plane needed this unification as well.
Even though the Primordial Heavenly Demon had lured Shi Tian away, it was evident that he was struggling, being relentlessly pursued by Shi Tian across the desolate universe.
Despite the appearance of Amitabhaâs past life, the presence of Tian Yi alone was enough to hold off this manifestation.
The Immortal Plane severely lacked powerful experts.
Li Qingshan had to elevate himself, just like Immortal Northstar.
Immortal Northstar achieved unity of his two lives through an ancient skill, and now Li Qingshan needed to use this skill to unify his nine lives.
This was unprecedented.
Yet, the current dire situation was also unprecedented.
The Venerables clashed, and the war raged on with relentless attacks. The Venerables from the Immortal Plane, each fighting multiple opponents, were engaged in intense battles.
Even so, they were at a disadvantage. The might of the Fourth World, with millions of years of accumulated power, was overwhelming. Their number of Venerable experts had doubled, not to mention the multitude of Emperor experts.
Every expert in the Immortal Plane who could fight had stepped forward.
Yet, they were still losing ground.
There was even a looming sense of impending defeat.
The pressure was immense.
In such a dire situation, even if Li Qingshan unleashed his full power, it would only make him comparable to a top Venerable. Who could confront the patriarch of the Fourth World, Shi Tian?
The only solution Li Qingshan saw was to achieve an extreme elevationâunifying his nine lives.
To this end, he swiftly perused the ancient skill practiced by Immortal Northstar, then began to operate it within his body, summoning his eight previous incarnations from the Immortal Plane.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Far away in the Immortal Plane, within the Emperor Space, the graves of Li Qingshanâs eight previous incarnations shattered, dirt flying, coffins cracking, and the eight corpses flew out of the Emperor Space.
This scene left many people astonished.
âItâs Brotherâs previous lives. Heâs calling them,â Little Nine murmured softly, gazing at the starry sky, full of worry.
Although the cosmic battle in the starry sky was far from the Immortal Plane, its momentum and aftershocks transmitted across, causing people in the Immortal Plane to tremble. Some shouted in fear, claiming that the universe was collapsing and the Immortal Plane was doomed.
But the top experts gazed at the starry sky, witnessing this unprecedented battle.
They were shocked to see so many and such formidable experts from the Immortal Plane.
Only now did the Fourth World truly appear in the eyes of the experts of the Immortal Plane.
They finally understood that the Immortal Plane had been besieged by the Fourth World for hundreds of years, unable to break through.
This revelation tore away the thin veil shrouding the Immortal Plane, exposing a bloody reality. Everyoneâs hearts trembled; the scene was too shocking.
The Human World Buddha and the Human World Demon.
Even the Primordial Heavenly Demon from the Demon Realm had appeared in this battle, as had Amitabha, the founder of the Buddhist sects. The fight was extremely fierce, with Venerable experts above the Emperor Realm exuding their power.
It was a desperate struggle for the Immortal Planeâs survival.
Everyone knew this.
But knowing didnât change anythingâthey couldnât help.
In such a battle, even Emperor experts could only brush against the periphery and couldnât engage in the core fights. Only Venerables could dominate the war within a specific area.
The top experts of the Immortal Plane could only watch bitterly.
In the Celestial Court, everyone was watching.
Suddenly, in the Emperor Space, eight corpses appeared, flying toward the depths of the universe. Everyone naturally understood that this was the previous lives of the Celestial Courtâs master, who was also giving everything for a desperate fight.
âDamn it, if only I had broken through to Emperor, I would join this fight,â Patriarch Zhang lamented, slamming his palm in frustration. He was the strongest Immortal King in the Immortal Plane, close to the Emperor Realm. However, he had been preoccupied with rebuilding the Celestial Court and neglected his cultivation, thus failing to break through.
Beside him, Dean Mu Ran sighed in regret, his face somber as he gazed at the starry sky, saying resolutely, âNow we can only believe in the Celestial Courtâs master. He has created so many miracles; he can do it again.â
Little Nine, the little fox, and Hua Xiangrong stood together, staring at the starry sky, too tense to speak. Behind them, Aâwei and the five ghosts silently watched.
This cosmic battle was crucial to the survival of the Immortal Plane. It wasnât a jokeâevery expert could feel it.
For this battle, the Immortal Plane had poured out everything.
The Primordial Heavenly Demon, who had founded the Demonic Path and then vanished, had reappeared.
Amitabha, who had entered the Supreme Path and severed his past life, had reappeared.
The last member of the Heaven-defying family, carrying the Heaven-defying bloodline, had reappeared.
The Barbarian Clanâs Venerable, carrying a hoe, had reappeared to the tears of the barbarians.
Monk Fayin, who lived in seclusion in the Western Lands, also exposed himself and fought as an Emperor against the Venerables.
This included Xia Wuji, Immortal Northstar, Chu Xiangyu, and the Primordial Heavenly Consort. All of them had appeared, along with half of the Demon Frog.
Together, these people are fighting against the entire Fourth World.
If they lost, the Immortal Plane would never recover.
Never in eternity.
Everyone understood this.
If the Fourth World won this battle, they would never give the Immortal Plane a chance to rise again.
While everyone was focused on the cosmic battle, an anomaly occurred within the Celestial Courtâs Emperor Space.
Two ancient, near-death Emperors slowly revived.
One was the Ziwei Emperor, who had been caring for the stars since his youth.
The other was the Central Jade Emperor, who possessed the Chaos physique.
When Li Qingshan discovered them, he hadnât destroyed them but had left them in the Emperor Space.
Though they resembled living corpses, Li Qingshan hadnât dealt with them.
However, unbeknownst to him, his collection of divine medicines planted in the Emperor Space had replenished its lost origin energy, rejuvenating the Ziwei Emperor and the Jade Emperor.
