Tragic. Absolutely tragic!
The entire Dead Sea Realm was plunged into unspeakable devastation.
Countless undead creatures were instantly ignited, burning into ashes in the blink of an eye—not even a scrap remained. The scale of the slaughter was unparalleled. The undead struggled desperately to hide, but it was far too late.
Nearly ninety percent of all the undead were obliterated.
Vengeful spirits, specters, ghosts—all vanished like melting snow under blazing sun the moment the ten suns emerged.
At that moment, the number of undead annihilated was easily in the billions.
On land and sea, it was all the same.
It was like the living on land being suddenly thrown into a raging flood—a scene of pure catastrophe.
"This is a conspiracy! A massive conspiracy!"
"Someone deployed a Feng Shui grand array to reverse the spiritual veins of the Dead Sea Realm!"
"So vicious… so utterly ruthless!"
"It must be Great Yi! Only the Great Yi Celestial Court could devise such a killing trap! So many undead beings—just gone! Even our forbidden zones couldn't withstand it!"
"Curse it! If only we had realized sooner!"
When the silver moons appeared, the various forbidden zones opened their barriers to absorb the moonlight, eager for that rare opportunity for fortune.
But who would've thought—the blessing of one second turned into apocalyptic doom the next?
The ten suns that followed unleashed such extreme Yang force that, for undead beings, it was pure destruction.
Even more horrifying, those undead that had been drawing in the silver moonlight now pulled the solar fire directly into themselves. The flames ignited from within, making any form of defense utterly futile.
This was cruelty at its peak.
Solar True Fire meeting the Yin Qi within undead bodies was like fire hitting boiling oil—it ignited instantly, even exploding.
Even the great forbidden zones suffered catastrophic losses.
Regardless of how deep they hid or how powerful their barriers were, under the light of ten suns, the entire realm became one giant furnace.
And inside a furnace, no hiding place makes a difference.
This moment marked the true death of the Dead Sea Realm.
An untold number of undead were annihilated, and the deathly mist that had cloaked the realm was completely scattered.
Above, the ten blazing suns began to dim.
Extreme Yin had turned into Extreme Yang, but Extreme Yang cannot last. It only persisted for an instant before starting to recede.
This marked the true function of the Yin-Yang Cycle Grand Formation: to transform the former state of extreme Yin into one of Yin-Yang balance.
No longer would the realm fall into extremes—neither perpetual cold nor blazing heat.
The forces of Yin and Yang would circulate in harmony under the grand array's influence.
The suns began to disappear.
The deathly mist slowly returned, once again cloaking the realm. However, this new Yin aura no longer felt icy or bone-chilling, but something tolerable, even habitable.
The array had been completed.
From now on, the Yin Qi here would no longer be extreme, making it suitable not only for undead to live and reproduce, but also allowing normal cultivators to dwell without discomfort or fear.
"Fengdu City, descend into the center of the Dead Sea Realm and serve as the anchor!"
A massive immortal city descended from the sky, rapidly falling into the heart of the realm.
As it landed, it began to draw in the surrounding spiritual veins.
General Invincible, without delay, turned into a streak of light and flew into Fengdu City.
The city had been rebuilt to imperial standards, a full-scale fortress-city.
At the same time, eighteen pre-prepared immortal cities descended into various regions of the Dead Sea Realm, anchoring the new order.
If needed in the future, more cities could be established.
These cities were already inhabited by humans—a branch of the spirit-human race. After joining Great Yi, they were treated as equals.
Now, in the Dead Sea Realm, they felt no discomfort—on the contrary, it felt like a perfect environment.
With the descent of these cities, Great Yi's national destiny soared into the heavens from each location, radiating across the entire realm.
Because the earlier Yin-Yang Cycle Grand Formation had already eliminated ninety percent of the undead, there was no resistance left to Great Yi's expansion.
Its control and influence skyrocketed.
Though only eighteen cities had landed, one could already see layers of territorial fate emerging across the realm, centering around these cities and merging into the destiny dragon above Xuanhuang Immortal City.
This surge of land fate completely encompassed the Dead Sea Realm.
The realm was now fully integrated into the territory of Great Yi, acknowledged by Heaven and Earth, beyond opposition.
"This place is even easier to govern than other realms.
The array plowed through everything.
For the undead to rise again… would be nearly impossible."
"As expected from Great Yi. Ruthless, methodical.
They had designs on the Dead Sea Realm long ago!"
"It's over. Our power here has been obliterated. Resistance is meaningless.
This was a calculated operation, long in the making.
It's not that we didn't fight—it's just that our enemy was too cunning."
"Seal the forbidden zones!
If we remain isolated, perhaps Great Yi will not press us further.
We are not without our strength. If they push too hard, it will be mutual destruction!"
"Peaceful coexistence would be best. I hear Great Yi allows wilderness zones within its territory—three-thousand-mile wildlands where races may live freely.
As long as we don't threaten Great Yi's core control, there shouldn't be a problem."
From within the surviving forbidden zones, voices rose in subdued realization: resistance was futile. The takeover was complete. Acceptance was the only option.
Any confrontation would likely end in total annihilation.
Who dared to test the wrath of a Sacred Court?
Still, the sudden change in regime filled every heart with bitterness and unease.
Even if rage burned inside, it had to be swallowed.
"The Destiny True Dragon has grown—now two thousand three hundred zhang in length."
Yi Tianxing raised his eyes toward the sky.
The seven-clawed golden dragon had just finished devouring the massive realm fate of the Dead Sea.
With a golden flash, it soared across the realm, beginning its inspection—a symbolic act of laying claim to this newly conquered land.
From within the forbidden zones, countless gazes silently followed the dragon's majestic flight.
Their expressions were complex and incomprehensible, but one emotion was clear—deep, instinctive fear.
Suddenly, Xuanhuang Immortal City breached the realm boundary and hovered above the Dead Sea Realm.
"I request His Majesty to bestow the Bridge of Yin and Yang, to construct a new Ghost Gate Feng Shui Array,"Jiang Ni proclaimed solemnly, bowing toward the Immortal City.
"I grant you the Yin-Yang Bridge.
Begin the array—establish Ghost Gate Pass, and open the passage between life and death, Yin and Yang."
Yi Tianxing nodded slightly. With a thought, a black-and-white ancient bridge pierced through space, descending above Jiang Ni.
This Yin-Yang Bridge, now exuding an even more mystical aura, had reached the level of a congenital (Innate) spiritual treasure. A mere thread of its energy could shatter the void.
"Ghost Gate Pass Feng Shui Array—activate!!"
Jiang Ni, empowered by the bridge, did not hesitate.
He pointed toward Fengdu City.
Whoooosh—whoooosh—whoooosh!
The city began to tremble violently.
Each quake released bursts of black divine light, filled with a frightening chill.
Ghostly wails echoed within the winds, like the cries of tormented spirits.
Dark winds howled as something terrifying stirred beneath the ground, drawing in Nine Nether Yin Qi that enveloped the entire city.
The walls shimmered with strange runes, which then sank and disappeared into the structure.
Above, thick black clouds coiled endlessly, blocking out all light.
The city was cloaked in a gloomy, deathly atmosphere.
The aura of death and Yin Qi across the realm converged above Fengdu City.
Moments later, a massive suction force erupted from the city, pulling in countless black mists in a swirling vortex.
Fengdu City had become a bottomless abyss, devouring everything—like a gate to the Underworld itself.
Ghostly wails and shadowy figures spiraled endlessly within.
Then—a massive, jet-black gate formed at the city's center.
This was the Ghost Gate Pass.
"Yin-Yang Bridge, connect the realms! Open the Path of Life and Death!"
Jiang Ni shouted again, and the bridge descended, piercing through Ghost Gate Pass.
One end remained in the mortal world—the other stretched toward the Underworld's Nine Nether City.
This time, the bridge was even stronger, and the connection between realms smoother.
In just a few breaths, it linked both worlds and formed a stable pathway.
With a flash of divine light, the Yin-Yang Bridge returned to Yi Tianxing's hand.
The connection between Yin and Yang was now complete.
The Dead Sea Realm was sealed and balanced.
And from this day forth…Life and death would circulate in harmony.
