Chapter 1624
"Everyone," Chen Xuan's voice, carrying an undeniable aura, resounded throughout the square, "From this day forward, this world will return to paradise. I, Bei Ming, will take over its control, establish my own sect, and truly teach you cultivation methods, protecting your habitat and your reproduction."
Before he finished speaking, his figure had already vanished into the horizon in a streak of light, leaving tens of thousands of people in the square standing there in stunned silence. That promise of "living past forty" was like a glimmer of light, struggling to hold up a sliver of hope amidst the ruins of despair.
The deeply ingrained belief in immortality was utterly shattered, and the mortals remained stunned for a long time. It wasn't until Su Ying and the corpses of the city lord who had aided and abetted the evildoer fell to the ground with a "thud" that everyone awoke as if from a dream—first a deathly silence, then an eruption of boundless rage. Countless bloodstained hands pounced on the corpses, and in the blink of an eye, the once high and mighty "immortal" was torn into mincemeat.
Meanwhile, in the Tianyu Mountains, the core area of this planet with the most abundant spiritual energy, a completely different battle is unfolding in the 100,000 territories of the Tiandao Gushen Sect.
The once sacred mountain gate, revered by mortals, is now devoid of any celestial aura, replaced by a chaotic dance of demons. Ninety-nine primordial Gu worms, like purple dragons, traverse the sky, frantically devouring the life force surging from the earth. Their size and aura are growing at a visible rate, and even the air is filled with a nauseatingly sweet and pungent stench.
"What a bizarre Gu worm! How can it possibly withstand my divine physical phenomena?"
Qing Tian Yu'er had transformed into a thousand-foot-tall divine demon giant, with three heads and six arms, each wielding a top-grade heavenly sword. Her overwhelming power shook the clouds. She was fighting against the battle formation set up by seventy-two anti-void demons in front of her. Every time her sword light cleaved through the black mist of poison, it would bring up a shower of blood.
This brutal battlefield was not unique. Five figures hovered above the Heavenly Domain Mountains, each facing a combined immortal-level formation of seventy-two Void Realm cultivators. Zi Mo, Xin'er, Piao Xue, Zhan Xin, along with Yu'er, were all filled with fighting spirit, yet they could not hide the solemnity between their brows.
At first, the five women were full of confidence. As soon as they arrived, they launched a fierce attack, unleashing five killing moves empowered by transcendent immortal energy. The power of their attacks could tear through the sky, and even through the immortal-level protective array of the Gu God Sect, they killed countless low-level disciples responsible for transmitting spiritual energy.
With such terrifying attack power, even if the formation isn't broken, it will still severely damage the Gu God Sect.
Before the time it takes to drink a cup of tea has passed, hundreds of Void Realm cultivators who have been in seclusion for many years burst forth from the sect's protective formation. The five Immortal Rank cultivators, united in formation, pressed down like dark clouds, charging towards the five women.
In one-on-one combat, the five women's weaknesses were suddenly exposed. If they continued to suppress their strength, they risked their demise. Left with no other choice, the five women simultaneously summoned two streams of transcendent immortal energy to empower their Dao bodies. With their auras surging, they barely managed to stabilize their position and suppress the five combined formations.
The cultivators fought with lightning speed. In addition, the five women had solid foundations and domineering supernatural powers. The Gu God Sect's immortal-level combined formation quickly suffered setbacks, its foundations loosened, and it was on the verge of collapse.
Just then, a massive amount of purple mist suddenly erupted from the dragon vein deep within the mountain range, and ninety-nine thin, snake-like black shadows broke through the clouds—they were none other than the ninety-nine primordial Gu worms from before!
They did not directly participate in the battle, but merely lingered at the edge of the battlefield, spewing out thick, ink-like poison. Wherever the black mist passed, divine senses felt as if they were sinking into a quagmire, and the five women's connection with each other was instantly severed. This method was extremely insidious; if anyone was left alone, they would inevitably be surrounded and killed by the combined forces of the formation.
"The moon rises over the starry sea!" Yu'er activated her divine body's extraordinary phenomenon first, unleashing countless illusory stars behind her, their clear light barely managing to stem the spread of the poison.
Xin'er then unleashed "Frost for Thousands of Miles," a chilling aura that froze thousands of miles away, sweeping towards the primordial Gu worms in an attempt to repel these malevolent creatures.
The two sides revealed all their cards as soon as they clashed.
The five Immortal-Rank Combined Arrays of the Gu God Sect are each controlled by seventy-two Void Realm cultivators, and their combined power is immense.
With the support of two transcendent immortal energies, Yu'er and her five companions could easily unleash a strike comparable to that of a five or six hundred thousand-year-old scattered immortal. If it weren't for the fact that the opponents had formed a combined formation with their numbers and were fighting one-on-one, these Void Realm cultivators wouldn't have been able to withstand even a single move from them.
As the combined formation was about to collapse, a withered figure in the main hall of the Gu God Sect suddenly clenched his fist and unleashed a secret technique into the sky.
“Hiss—!”
Suddenly, the ninety-nine primordial Gu worms let out a piercing shriek, and layers of purple ripples spread out from their bodies, spreading towards the endless earth.
In an instant, an even more magnificent life mist gathered from all directions and surged into the insect's body.
Their size grew at a visible rate, and their aura soared like a rocket, showing a faint momentum to rival the divine phenomena.
"No matter who you are, trespassing on Gu God Star will result in death!" The sect leader stood atop the main hall, staring at the battlefield in the sky and sneering, "Those two girls are quite good furnaces. Capture them and seize their primordial yin to feed my Primordial Gu!"
The battle situation suddenly changed. The aura of the ninety-nine primordial Gu worms was still rising wildly, and the five women, including Yu'er, all had a grim expression and gathered together in one place without prior arrangement.
"Sister, what exactly is that purple mist they're absorbing?" Zi Mo frowned as she looked at the expanding Gu worms in the distance. "How can their strength increase so dramatically in such a short time?"
Holding the Lingtian Sword Diagram, Piaoxue solemnly said, "This is a heretical path that takes shortcuts by harming the common people. Although it is difficult to become a Celestial Immortal, its combat power should not be underestimated."
“Not bad.” Zhan Xin gripped the hilt of his sword, his eyes flashing with cold light. “I have encountered many people who use mortal flesh and blood and the souls of cultivators to practice their skills and refine treasures. They are all powerful, but they all deserve to die.”
"Hmph, just as my husband said." Yu'er's body was surrounded by the hum of divine swords, exuding a chilling killing intent. "There is no need for the slightest guilt in slaughtering such demons! Sisters, let's join forces to break the formation!"
"it is good!"
Just as the five women were about to unleash even stronger divine powers, the space in the center of the battlefield suddenly distorted—
A black-robed youth wearing a straw hat stepped out of the air, his silver hair fluttering in the chaotic wind, and the dragon totem on his clothes seemed to break free of the fabric and take flight.
"Husband?"
The five women were initially delighted to see Chen Xuan appear, but then they all lowered their heads, a hint of embarrassment flashing across their faces. Chen Xuan had originally intended for them to use this battle to temper their Dao hearts and accumulate experience in overcoming challenges, but unexpectedly, it had escalated to the point where they needed his assistance.
Chen Xuan didn't look at them. His gaze first swept over the ninety-nine primordial Gu worms that were frantically absorbing spiritual energy in the distance, and then landed on the more than four hundred Void Reversal Realm cultivators in the five Immortal Rank combined formations.
Before he could speak, the little tower inside his body suddenly clicked its tongue in amazement: "Good heavens... The Nascent Soul Realm and Void Reversal Realm cultivators of this sect are all covered with a hundred-foot-long aura of sinful blood? Kid, annihilating this entire sect of demons might actually offset the karmic fire around you and allow you to cultivate golden light of merit!"
