Watching this scene, everyone on the Demon Realm's side was both furious and enraged.
They were holding the upper hand, just about to overthrow the opponents' crystal and wipe them out in one fell swoop.
Then the Immortal Mother suddenly cut off the power, declaring the round over.
How could they not be angry?
However, facing the 'master' behind the scenes of the Immortal Realm, who dared to act up openly?
Though the Immortal Mother had never made a move, those mysterious phenomena during each great calamity could not be ignored by anyone.
For instance, the Evil Extermination Strategy could disregard the Dharma Realm.
For example, making a move against Jiexin would inexplicably lead to karmic entanglement.
Such things already surpassed the scope of Immortal Power, Soul Power, rules, and Mental Realm.
Imagine what would happen if you rant against the Immortal Mother—it might result in a mysterious and sudden death by tomorrow.
Across the way, Jiu Jue Immortal Emperor, Dark Phecda Demon Emperor, and others were overjoyed, as if granted amnesty!
"Thank you, Immortal Mother, for your mercy!"
"We will surely reform ourselves completely!"
"Never again will we dare to cause trouble..."
"Hahaha, the calamity is over; everything is fine..."
"Demon Race and Spirit Race, are you still not retreating? Or do you intend to defy the Immortal Mother?"
"Continue to act recklessly, and the fate of your two races will suffer backlash!"
Their reaction made even Brother Cheng laugh.
He shook his head in disbelief.
"I finally get it; are you playing 'Journey to the West' demon-slaying with me here?"
After breaking the demons, just as about to slay them, a backer suddenly jumps out saying they can't be killed.
Think it's so easy to negotiate with me?
"I just want to kill them; what can you do to me?"
Cang Ling quickly covered his mouth.
Dear brother, don't provoke the Immortal Mother!
Sis knows you are super powerful, no one in the Immortal Realm can rival you, but the Immortal Mother is different from everyone else.
Beside him, Cyan Dragon Emperor also quickly grabbed him.
But it was already too late.
"Those who oppose the Lord of the Immortal Realm shall suffer the torment of karmic entanglement."
With the Immortal Mother's declaration, gray smoke started to rise from Brother Cheng's body.
The smoke emitted a heavily ominous aura.
Though it was the first time seeing it, a unanimous thought arose deep within everyone: this thing can't be touched.
Even the slightest contamination would lead to an endless abyss of doom.
"No!"
"Demon Lord!"
Countless Demon Race members cried out in grief.
Xuanming quickly jumped back, yet Cang Ling refused to release Brother Cheng.
Though she still held Jiang Cheng's hand, it felt like there was nothing there.
The distinct separation made it impossible for her to intervene or change anything.
Jiang Cheng seemed to no longer belong to the same world as everyone present.
This was no longer about spatial methods, but rather a more profound and mysterious special power.
On the other side, Jiu Jue and Dark Phecda's people showed ecstatic expressions.
If not for the Immortal Mother's presence, they might have cried out in cheer.
With this karmic entanglement, no one can escape its clutches.
First comes the Celestial Five Declines, where the Immortal Body decays and ages, with internal meridians and Sea of Qi heading towards ruin.
Next, fortune plummets to the lowest point, facing the danger of being struck by lightning when stepping outside, and the risk of qigong deviation just from taking a breath.
Then there's the steep reduction in lifespan, with the end drawing near.
This karmic force is pervasive and the most treacherous; it's not something rule, realm, or power can withstand.
They seemed to have already seen the moment of Jiang Cheng's demise.
However, the handsome Sect Leader Jiang showed no sign of decline, remaining as dashing as always.
Amidst the tangible rings of karmic force surrounding him, he remained lively and in great spirits.
Joking aside, this brother had obtained the Celestial Desolation Indestructible Body from the start.
This physique has infinite lifespan, transcending the Celestial Five Declines.
At the time, he hadn't thought much of it, even disdaining it.
Only now did he realize he had received a massive gift from the very beginning.
Those threads of karmic force, no matter what, could not invade his body.
All were blocked by another invisible force, unable to cause him any substantial harm.
"What do I care about any great calamity?"
He once again raised his sword, aiming it at the Immortal Mother across from him.
"Who do you think you are? What does our demon-slaying have to do with you? Did you put in any effort?"
"Now that I'm in the mood to show off, it's your turn to disrupt things?"
Having spoken, before anyone else could exclaim, he swung his sword down toward the Immortal Mother!
Vast Immortal Power and chaotic streams of rules swept across like countless giant dragons.
Everyone, both friend and foe, was almost terrified into madness by this sword strike.
What is he trying to do?
Is he going against the entire Immortal Realm?
The sword strike ultimately landed on the Immortal Mother, but did not cause any harm.
Instead, the chaotic streams of rules dispersed inward, while the Profound Pattern Power was repelled outward, unable to advance at all.
Different rule powers became extremely distinct at this moment.
Shed of their external forms, they all presented themselves in their most essential manner.
Unfazed by the incomplete strike, Brother Cheng showed no disappointment.
This had already been within his expectations.
This strike was merely to express his stance.
The Immortal Mother, however, remained eerily calm, completely devoid of any emotion from her presence.
"You should not cultivate Forbidden Power."
Forbidden?
"Are you talking about Profound Power?"
The Immortal Mother shook her head, but did not say much.
She merely stated, "You are opposing the Immortal Realm."
Brother Cheng looked bemused.
He had thought Profound Power didn't belong to the Immortal Realm, thus disliked by the Immortal Mother.
Turns out she said it wasn't because of Profound Power.
Then what other special powers did he possess that could be deemed Forbidden?
"It should be because of the two Profound Patterns I am bound to with Xuanming..."
Cang Ling's voice whispered into his ear.
Brother Cheng remained puzzled. "What does that have to do with her?"
"Xuanming and I are Masters of Rules of the Immortal Realm, but you've made us the dominators of two Profound Patterns of yours."
"So what?"
"If the Immortal Realm is seen as a nation, then each Master of Rule is akin to a Duke of the Immortal Realm."
Cang Ling, being experienced and knowledgeable, keenly identified the core issue.
"Although your Profound Pattern power is far inferior to the Heart of Rule of the Immortal Realm, you are essentially doing the same thing as the Immortal Realm."
"Who would allow someone to establish a kingdom within their own domain and then confer Dukes as well?"
With her explanation, Brother Cheng finally understood.
In previous great calamities, the Immortal Mother never appeared mid-event.
There were instances when a calamity was averted and her intended outcomes weren't achieved, yet she didn't intervene and simply accepted failure.
Truth be told, she was rather fair, not being both the judge and participant.
But today, she suddenly intervened and forcefully interrupted this great calamity.
If he guessed correctly, this great calamity wasn't truly over.
According to her original script, the Immortal Alliance and Holy Hall were supposed to be completely eradicated by him.
However, he inexplicably obtained 'Forbidden Power' beyond her acceptable range, making her feel an unprecedented threat.
At this point, he was a bigger threat compared to the Immortal Alliance Saint Hall.
Surpassing all other matters.
Hence, she urgently halted this great calamity.
"Willingly abandon that Forbidden Power, and realizing your wrongs, you can still be forgiven."
