Time passed in a moment, yet to the Fox Enchantress, it felt like an eternity. She felt herself on the verge of dissolving.
It would take too long to explain everything in detail; in reality, it was merely the blink of an eye.
This exquisite silence, however, was shattered by the Mute Girl! The Night Girl was no less excited than the Enchantress. With one swift leap, she flung herself into her elder sister’s arms. The Mute Girl’s weeping finally pulled the Fox Enchantress back from the edge of despair.
Shame surged through her heart once more. The radiant beauty gently patted the Night Girl’s slim shoulders, maternal and sisterly, softly murmuring, “Night Girl, don’t cry. Sister is fine!”
After the initial “attack,” the Fox Enchantress regained her composure and soon dispelled the hazy atmosphere lingering between them. As soon as Qiao San finished stating the conditions for the exchange with Gou Yuan, the radiant beauty decisively declared, “I will accompany you into battle. Although my magical powers are ordinary, I can still assist with military strategy and formations!”
The Fox Enchantress’s words rang firm and resolute. Perhaps Qiao San was simply too soft-hearted around women, or perhaps all the women he knew were so strong-willed—whatever the reason, the recently released enchantress was soon fully armored and ready for battle.
It wasn’t only the Fox Enchantress; even the Night Girl’s gestures were filled with determination. Just as the man finally began to consider voicing objections, the Book Spirit suddenly reappeared, compelling Qiao San’s mind to give a resigned nod.
“Yu——!”
A neigh from the Earth Horse shook the heavens and earth! Led by the Heaven-Defying Monarch, one hundred thousand demon soldiers and generals charged toward Mount Kunlun.
Under the command of the Fox Enchantress, the battlefield strategy unfolded: the Fox Queen led the vanguard, Qiao San commanded the central force, and Princess Jade Fan willingly took charge of the rear guard. The rhythmic beat of war drums stirred the hearts of the Three Realms, and the brief peace shattered its false mask in an instant.
Pushed forward by those with hidden agendas, Qiao San now stood for the first time at the peak of a cosmic war!

In the Palace of Nine Abysses, after repeated requests, Princess Jade Fan finally gained an audience with the Ten Thousand Demon King, who had long been in seclusion.
“Father, I beg you—please allow me to resume control over the matter of the Ten Sun Pearls!”
“Jade Fan, this matter has already been entrusted to the National Sage. You need not concern yourself with it any longer.” The Ten Thousand Demon King, seated on his throne, remained shrouded in eerie mist. Even in a private meeting with his daughter, he refused to reveal his true face.
The Ten Sun Pearls were crucial to the future of the Demon Realm, and Jade Fan had planned everything meticulously. Just as success was within reach, Gou Yuan suddenly interfered. How could the Demon Princess possibly accept that?
“But, Father…” Jade Fan, anxious and impulsive, unknowingly crossed the boundary line of the Nine Abysses Hall.
Suddenly, a fierce gust of wind erupted from nowhere, blowing Jade Fan back in disarray. She tumbled across the floor, rolling once before barely regaining her footing.
“Jade Fan, you have crossed the line,” the Ten Thousand Demon King’s voice rang out with solemn authority, his words carrying both command and warning. Devoid of any warmth between father and daughter, he coldly concluded, “My decision is final. Leave now!”
“Yes,” Jade Fan reluctantly obeyed, exiting the Nine Abysses Hall. As she turned away, she cast one last glance at the closed palace doors, a flash of deep suspicion flickering in her eyes.
Moments later, the scene shifted to the National Sage’s Mansion in the Nine Abysses.
The face of the Horned Demon King, usually sly and cunning, was now completely blank. Before Gou Yuan, he was as obedient as a dog. “Master, what are your orders?”
Time passed only briefly, but in the heart of the enchantress, it felt like millennia. She felt as though she was on the verge of melting.
Though the tale is long, in reality, it was merely the blink of an eye.
This beautiful silence was shattered by the mute girl! The night maiden, no less agitated than the enchantress, leapt into her sister’s embrace. The mute girl’s tears finally saved the enchantress from the brink of despair.
Shame once again flooded her heart. The radiant beauty gently patted the slender shoulders of the night maiden, speaking softly like a sister and mother, “Night maiden, don’t cry, your sister is fine!”
After the initial “assault,” the enchantress regained her heroic demeanor, quickly erasing the faintly lingering aura between them. Upon hearing Qiao San’s conditions for the exchange, the radiant beauty declared without hesitation, “I will join you in battle. Though my powers are modest, I can assist you in strategy and formation!”
The enchantress’s resolute voice was unwavering. Whether it was Qiao San’s weakness in front of women or the fact that the women he knew were all so strong-willed, the recently freed enchantress immediately prepared for battle.
Not only the enchantress, but even the night maiden’s gestures were firm. When the man finally thought to oppose, the book spirit suddenly reappeared, controlling Qiao San’s thoughts, and with a sigh, he nodded in agreement.
“Neigh—”
The earth horse’s cry shook the heavens and the earth! Led by the rebellious sage, a vast army of 100,000 demons marched towards the Kunlun Immortal Mountain.
Under the command of the enchantress as the strategist, the fox queen led the vanguard swiftly, Qiao San commanded the central army, and the Jade Fan Princess took charge of the rear. The rhythmic war drums stirred the hearts of the three realms, and the brief peace was torn apart in an instant.
Driven by those with ulterior motives, the bold rogue, Qiao San, stood for the first time at the pinnacle of the great battle between heaven and earth.
※※※※※※※
In the Nine Nether Palace, after numerous requests, the Jade Fan Princess finally met the long-secluded Demon King.
“Father, I request to take charge of the matter of the Ten Sun Pearls!”
“Jade Fan, this matter has already been entrusted to the state preceptor. You need not concern yourself with it anymore!” The Demon King, still shrouded in mysterious mist, remained hidden even in this private meeting with his daughter.
The Ten Sun Pearls were crucial to the future of the underworld, and the Jade Fan Princess had been planning everything. Just as success seemed imminent, the interference of Gou Yuan was unexpected. How could the princess of the underworld accept this?!
“Father, but…” The Jade Fan Princess, in her anxiety, inadvertently crossed the boundary line of the Nine Nether Hall.
A fierce wind suddenly appeared, blowing the trespassing princess into disarray. She was thrown back, rolling on the ground before regaining her footing.
“Jade Fan, you have crossed the line!” The Demon King’s authoritative words were stern and double-edged, devoid of the warmth typical of a father-daughter relationship. After reprimanding her, he decisively declared, “I have made my decision. You may leave!”
“Yes!” Reluctantly, the Jade Fan Princess exited the Nine Nether Hall. As she turned, she couldn’t help but glance back at the tightly shut doors, a strong suspicion flashing through her mind.
Moments later, the scene shifted to the residence of the Nine Nether State Preceptor.
The cunning expression on the face of the One-Horned Ghost King vanished, replaced by utmost loyalty and obedience in front of Gou Yuan. “Master, what should this old ghost do next?”
Gou Yuan, still formless and shapeless, with a beautiful light shifting into myriad forms, pondered and said, “You have done well these days. Take the artifact I have given you and ensure you reach Kunlun before Qiao San. I hope you bring me good news.”
The beautiful light shifted, and a sinister aura made the Ghost King shiver. He prostrated himself, utterly submissive, “This old ghost obeys!”
The Kunlun Immortal Mountain, located in the southern continent near the western region, spans eight hundred miles. Its highest peak towers ten thousand ren, surrounded by immortal trees and shrouded in clouds. The trees are adorned with pearls, and the clouds are interwoven with jade belts. Below the mountainside lies the Kunlun Taoist sect of mortal believers; above it is the Jade Pool Paradise. Though the Queen Mother does not practice here, 100,000 heavenly soldiers are stationed year-round.
Kunlun, truly the capital of the heavenly realm, the ancestor of all mountains!
A scream shattered the millennia-long peace of Kunlun. The war drums ignited the flames of battle, and the banners stirred the killing intent. The vanguard of the underworld army suddenly arrived, breaking through like a hot knife through butter, advancing from the foot of the mountain to its midpoint.
The disciples of Kunlun, mere mortal cultivators, fought valiantly but could not withstand the iron hooves of the demon soldiers. The bell of salvation finally rang.
“Dang—”
The lingering sound of the bell echoed as colorful clouds descended from the sky. The 100,000 heavenly soldiers finally halted the advance of the underworld army.
The immortals and demons clashed back to the foot of the mountain, then stood in a tense standoff.
“Brother, the Queen Mother will never sit idly by as her sanctuary is destroyed. We only have one day. Once the time is up, reinforcements from the heavenly realm will swarm in!” The enchantress was well-versed in the affairs of the two realms, but Kunlun was the capital of the heavens. How could it be so easily conquered in a single day?!
“Alright, let’s make it quick! I’ll go take out their leading heavenly general. Issue the challenge!”
The rebellious sage lived up to his name. Once the challenge was issued, the path of “defying the heavens” was resolutely taken. From then on, the three realms would see demons laugh and immortals weep!
The war drums thundered, and the banners fluttered. At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, the armies of immortals and demons faced each other.
Suddenly, the 100,000 demon soldiers roared, and the demon horde parted. A majestic demon general soared into the sky.
Riding the immortal phoenix, clad in indestructible armor, wielding the sword of the universe, the rebellious sage stood proudly between the two armies. Behind him, a grand banner fluttered in the wind, exuding the wild and heroic spirit of the rogue!
Named the Defier of Heavens, he naturally saw the heavens as his enemy. The blood mark between his eyebrows glowed red, and his soft voice thundered like a bomb among the heavenly soldiers, “Heavenly spirits, come forth and meet your doom!”
The beautiful light shifted again, radiating a sinister, bone-chilling aura that made the Demon King tremble. He prostrated himself completely submissive, saying, “This old ghost obeys!”
Mount Kunlun, located among the mountains near the southern continent of Jambudvipa and bordering the western continent of Godless Beasts, spans eight hundred miles. Its highest peak soars ten thousand feet into the sky, surrounded by immortal trees and veiled in clouds and mists. Pearls grow on the sacred trees, and jade ribbons drift through the clouds. Below the mountain waist dwelled the human followers of the Kunlun Taoist sect, while above lay the Jade Pond Fairyland. Though the Queen Mother no longer cultivated there, one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers remained stationed there year-round.
Mount Kunlun indeed deserves its title as the capital of the Celestial Realm and the ancestor of all mountains!
A single scream shattered the eternal peace of Kunlun. The war drums ignited the flames of battle, and the fluttering banners stirred the killing intent. The demon realm’s vanguard suddenly surged forward, unstoppable, advancing from the foot of the mountain all the way to its midsection.
Kunlun disciples were merely mortal cultivators. Despite their fierce resistance and blood-soaked battles, they could not halt the tide of demon soldiers and generals. Finally, the temple bell of distress was rung.
“Dang——”
The lingering echoes of the bell floated through the sky, and colorful clouds descended from above. One hundred thousand celestial soldiers finally halted the advance of the demon forces.
The celestial and demonic armies clashed once more at the foot of the mountain, then stood locked in a tense standoff.
“Brother, the Queen Mother will never allow her sacred site to be destroyed. We only have one day. Once that time is up, heavenly reinforcements will swarm in like bees!” The Fox Enchantress was well aware of the situation between the Heavens and the Earth. But Mount Kunlun was the capital of the Celestial Realm—how easily could it be breached in just a single day?
“Fine, then we must act swiftly! I’ll go kill their leading heavenly general and issue a challenge!”
True to his reputation, the Heaven-Defying Monarch immediately issued a declaration of war, stepping boldly onto the path of “defiance.” From that moment on, the Three Realms would echo with demon laughter and celestial tears!
The thunderous war drums roared in unison, and the fluttering banners danced in the wind. At the foot of Mount Kunlun, gods and demons stood face to face!
Suddenly, ten thousand demon soldiers roared in unison, parting their ranks as a mighty demon general soared into the sky.
Time passed only for a moment, but in the heart of the enchantress, it felt like millennia. She sensed that she was on the verge of melting away.
Though the story seems long, in reality, it was just a few blinks of an eye.
This beautiful silence was shattered by the mute girl! The night maiden, equally agitated, leaped into her sworn sister’s embrace. The mute girl’s tears finally saved the enchantress from the brink of despair.
Shame once again flooded her heart. The radiant beauty solemnly patted the slender shoulders of the night maiden, speaking softly like both a sister and a mother, “Night maiden, don’t cry. Your sister is fine!”
After the initial “assault,” the enchantress regained her heroic demeanor, quickly erasing the faintly lingering aura between them. Upon hearing Qiao San’s terms of exchange, the radiant beauty declared without hesitation, “I will join you in this campaign. Though my magical powers are ordinary, I can still assist you in strategy and deployment!”
The enchantress’s resolute voice was unwavering. Whether it was Qiao San’s softness in front of women or the fact that the women he knew were all so strong-willed, the recently freed enchantress immediately took up arms.
Not only the enchantress, but even the night maiden’s gestures were firm. Just as the man began to entertain thoughts of opposition, the book spirit suddenly reappeared, controlling Qiao San’s will, and with a sigh, he nodded in agreement.
“Neigh—”
The warhorse’s cry shook heaven and earth! Under the leadership of the Heaven-Defying Sage, a hundred thousand demon soldiers marched towards the Kunlun Immortal Mountain.
Under the command of the enchantress, the fox queen led the vanguard, Qiao San held the central army, and the Jade Fan Princess took charge of the rear. The rhythmic war drums stirred the hearts of the three realms, and the brief peace was torn apart in an instant.
Driven by those with ulterior motives, the bold rogue, Qiao San, stood for the first time at the pinnacle of the great war between heaven and earth.

The Ten Sun Pearls were crucial to the future of the underworld, and Jade Fan had always been the mastermind behind the plan. Just as success seemed within reach, Gou Yuan suddenly intervened. How could the princess of the underworld accept this?!
“Father, but…” Jade Fan’s anxiety grew, and she involuntarily crossed the boundary line in the Nine Nether Hall.
A fierce gust of wind suddenly appeared, blowing the overstepping Jade Fan into disarray. She was thrown back, rolling on the ground before regaining her footing.
“Jade Fan, you have crossed the line!” The Demon King’s authoritative words were stern and laden with double meaning, devoid of the warmth typical of a father-daughter relationship. After reprimanding her, he decisively declared, “Your father has made his decision. You may leave now!”
“Yes!” Jade Fan reluctantly exited the Nine Nether Hall. As she turned, she couldn’t help but glance back at the tightly shut doors, a strong sense of doubt flashing through her mind.
Moments later, the scene shifted to the State Preceptor’s residence in the Nine Nether Realm.
The cunning expression on the face of the One-Horned Ghost King vanished, replaced by absolute loyalty and obedience in front of Gou Yuan. “Master, what should this old ghost do next?”
Gou Yuan, still formless and ever-changing in her beautiful radiance, pondered and said, “You have done well these past days. Take the artifact I have given you and reach Kunlun before Qiao San. I hope you bring me good news.”
The beautiful light shifted, and a sinister, chilling aura made the Ghost King shiver. He prostrated himself, utterly submissive, “This old ghost obeys!”
The Kunlun Immortal Mountain, located in the southern continent near the western region, spans eight hundred miles. Its highest peak towers ten thousand ren, surrounded by immortal trees and shrouded in clouds and mist. The trees are adorned with pearls, and jade ribbons float within the clouds. Below the mountainside lies the Kunlun Taoist sect, a place of worship for mortal believers. Above the mountainside is the Jade Pool, a celestial realm. Though the Queen Mother does not reside here, a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers are permanently stationed.
Kunlun, truly the capital of the heavenly realm, the ancestor of all mountains!
A scream shattered the millennia-long tranquility of Kunlun. War drums ignited the flames of battle, and banners stirred the killing intent. The vanguard of the underworld army suddenly arrived, breaking through like a hot knife through butter, advancing from the foot of the mountain to the halfway point.
The disciples of Kunlun, mere mortal cultivators, fought valiantly but could not withstand the iron hooves of the demon soldiers. The bell of salvation finally rang out.
“Dang—”
The melodious sound of the bell lingered, and colorful clouds descended from the sky. The hundred thousand heavenly soldiers finally halted the advance of the underworld army.
The celestial and demon forces clashed back to the foot of the mountain, then stood in a tense standoff.
“Brother, the Queen Mother will never sit idly by while her sacred ground is destroyed. We only have one day. Once the time is up, reinforcements from the heavenly realm will swarm in!” The enchantress was well-versed in the affairs of the two realms, but Kunlun was the capital of the heavens. How could it be so easily conquered in just one day?!
“Alright, let’s make it quick! I’ll go and take out their leading heavenly general. Let’s issue the challenge!”
The Heaven-Defying Sage lived up to his name. Once the challenge was issued, the path of “defying heaven” was firmly taken. From then on, demons laughed, and gods wept in the three realms.
The thunderous war drums roared, and the fluttering banners waved. At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, the armies of gods and demons stood in confrontation.
Suddenly, the hundred thousand demon soldiers let out a mighty roar, and the demon horde parted. A majestic demon general soared into the sky.
Riding the immortal phoenix, clad in unbreakable armor, wielding the sword of the cosmos, the Heaven-Defying Sage stood proudly between the two armies. Behind him, a grand banner fluttered in the wind, exuding the wild and heroic spirit of the rogue!
Named the Heaven-Defying Sage, he naturally saw heaven as his enemy. The blood mark on his forehead glowed red, and his soft voice echoed like thunder among the heavenly soldiers, “Heavenly deities, come forth and meet your doom!”
Since he bore the name “Heaven-Defying,” he naturally regarded Heaven as his enemy. A crimson glow flashed from the blood mark between his eyebrows. His soft tone rang like thunder through the ranks of the heavenly soldiers: “Celestial puppets, come forth and die!”
