After Astari saluted once more, he leapt into the air, heading into the depths of the Death Mountain Range. After he left, a barely audible voice erged from the cave, "Such a fool, if it weren’t for... would I have let you take the credit? Hehe, hehehe." The chilling laughter seed to freeze the entire valley, sounding extrely eerie.
A month later. Ah Dai and Xuan Yue stood on a not-so-tall mountain peak, gazing down at the organized ranks of the human alliance army. After days of gathering, the Allied Forces had amassed their most elite troops of one hundred thousand in the Rotten Dragon Valley. Initially, Ah Dai didn’t want to summon too many troops, but driven by the ominous premonition in his heart, he realized that the tens of thousands of dark alien races from the Church of the Dark Saint also wouldn’t be easy to handle. So he agreed to Feng Wen’s suggestion. In this valley now, the most formidable forces of humanity were gathered. The church alone had one thousand two hundred Judges, three thousand high priests, and over forty thousand Sacred Knights. With such strength, they could sweep across the continent. But facing the last two challenges of the Twelve Calamities of the Undead, no one was confident.
Xuan Yue nestled in Ah Dai’s embrace and softly said, "It’s been a month. Our army is almost fully integrated. But Sheng Xie still shows no signs of awakening. Do we have to keep waiting like this? These past few days, I’ve often felt extrely suppressed, as if sothing is about to happen. Although our periter defenses are strong, this feeling just won’t go away. Ah Dai, do you think sothing will happen? I’m really a bit scared now."
Ah Dai gently caressed Xuan Yue’s blue hair, smiling, "Don’t worry, nothing will happen. We’ll wait at most another month; if Sheng Xie still hasn’t awakened by then, we’ll launch the final attack." Actually, the sa oppressive feeling and ominous foreboding also appeared in his heart, but to comfort Xuan Yue, he kept it to himself. The battle between good and evil had reached its final stage, and as the current commander of the human allied forces, how could he not be tense? The two sat closely on the mountain peak, feeling the warmth they provided each other in the chilling wind filled with Evil Aura.
As Ah Dai enjoyed the warmth brought by Xuan Yue, a sudden change occurred; the Evil Aura within the Death Mountain Range abruptly intensified. Even Ah Dai, who frequently dealt with Evil Aura as the "Grim Reaper," couldn’t help but shiver from head to toe. The Phoenix’s Blood in Xuan Yue’s chest emitted a red glow, enveloping the two and dispelling the coldness brought by the Evil Aura.
Xuan Yue exclaid, "What’s happening? Why did the Evil Aura suddenly intensify? Could the Immortal Evil Witch King and the Evil Dragon be launching a sneak attack?"
Ah Dai stood up from the mountain peak, staring into the depths of the Death Mountain Range. At that mont, the clouds in the sky began to churn continuously, seemingly gathering with the Evil Aura, the thickest accumulation right at the deepest part of the Death Mountain Range. Ah Dai’s expression changed, "No good, sothing must have changed in the deepest part of the Death Mountain Range."
A clap of thunder sounded, the clouds in the sky roiling unceasingly. For reasons unknown, their color kept shifting, with turbulent winds and a prelude to a storm brewing.
Ah Dai embraced Xuan Yue, urging his True Qi within, and gazed toward the depths of the Death Mountain Range. At this ti, the clouds in the sky, after a process of drifting apart, gathering, and transforming, gradually cald down. Xuan Yue tugged on Ah Dai’s coat, saying, "Look, fiery clouds."
Ah Dai looked up at the sky, indeed, at that ti the clouds had turned a deep red, looking extrely strange. A glint of coldness flashed in his eyes as he muttered, "No, these aren’t fiery clouds; these are blood clouds! I’m afraid, I’m afraid the entrance to the Demon Realm is about to open. How could it be so soon; there’s still so ti before the millennium of Sacred History! Quickly, Yue Yue, let’s hurry back. We must imdiately attack the Death Mountain Range. We don’t have much ti." With that, he picked up Xuan Yue and flew back to the camp at top speed.
There was no need for Ah Dai to give an order; the leaders of the various factions had already gathered in the main tent, each with a solemn expression. This sudden change had left these leaders of the human allied forces sowhat at a loss. The Pope looked at Ah Dai and said in a deep voice, "No matter how difficult the future may be, we must imdiately proceed to the Death Mountain Range and conduct the final duel against the Church of the Dark Saint; the entrance to the Demon Realm is about to open, and ti no longer permits us to wait. Ah Dai, you give the order."
Ah Dai nodded solemnly, "The human alliance army will imdiately prepare and move out as a whole. The three thousand priests of the church will use Support Magic to help the army expel the Evil Aura. We must charge the final two challenges of the Twelve Calamities of the Undead in the Death Mountain Range at the fastest speed. Move out imdiately." Under his command, the temporary base beca active, the tents barely had ti to be cleared away. All warriors donned their equipnt, forming a solid and orderly formation under the leadership of various leaders, advancing towards the deepest part of the Death Mountain Range. Ah Dai, the three Sword Saints, the Pope, and four Red Robe Priests, escorted by the Tian Gang Sword Sect experts, set out for the Death Mountain Range at top speed.
The blood clouds in the sky appeared increasingly dense. An hour later, Ah Dai and his group had reached the territory of the Bone Dragon from before. The Pope said solemnly, "The entrance to the Demon Realm is about to open; I’m afraid the Immortal Evil Witch King and the Evil Dragon will combine forces against us. Everyone, be cautious; even if it ans death, we cannot let the calamity descend upon the world."
Resolution was evident on everyone’s faces as they finally set out for the eleventh challenge of the Twelve Calamities of the Undead. The main forces behind them would need so more ti to catch up, but they could wait no longer. Unexpectedly, after crossing three peaks in succession, they encountered no obstacles, only the increasingly potent Evil Aura.
"Grandpa, look." Ah Dai pointed at the sky with so fear. Following his gaze, the others saw that a large gap suddenly opened up in the previously densely packed blood clouds above, revealing a spherical red light group floating high in the sky. Xuan Yue murmured, "Is that the sun?"
The Pope nodded heavily, "That is the Blood Sun, a symbol of the millennium catastrophe. A blood sun in the sky heralds demons, and when blood rain falls upon the world, disaster will strike. Whether the millennium catastrophe can be averted depends on us. According to the map, we are approaching the deepest part of the Death Mountain Range. Let’s charge." After casting a Divine Blessing on everyone, this representation of humanity’s strongest force advanced rapidly toward the center of the Death Mountain Range.
Filled with anxiety, everyone exerted their utmost abilities, moving at a rapid pace. In a mont, they progressed deeper into the Death Mountain Range with swift flight. They all knew that once the entrance to the Demon Realm was opened, it would likely be impossible to counter the Dark Forces. The power of the Demon Realm was sothing humanity could not withstand.
After crossing another towering mountain, a wide valley appeared ahead, and at the end of the valley stood a peak taller than any they had seen before in the Death Mountain Range.
