PS: This chapter was added yesterday, there will be one more update at night.
Another day passed by in a flash, and the momentum of the spiritual tide gradually subsided. Although the time was short, the cultivators in the gorge had gained quite a bit.
In just one or two days, the amount of spiritual energy they absorbed was equivalent to several months of effort in the past, and the lower the cultivation, the more benefits they gained.
Although the spiritual energy was not as turbulent as it was at the beginning, it still lingered between heaven and earth, not dispersing. That was why very few people got up and left, doing their best to absorb and purify their bodies.
At this time, it was only the beginning of the hour, and the heavenly gate had not opened yet. The morning sun warmed the sky, and the morning frost was about to break. The golden light shone on the great river, and under the blue sky, egrets occasionally flew by, and the mountains on both sides of the river lay quietly.
The cultivators of the Mystical Sect and the Demon Sect held their breath, paying attention to the movements in the sky. For a moment, there was no sound in the gorge, and only the sound of the river rushing east could be heard.
At the end of the hour, suddenly thunder rumbled in the clear sky, shaking the wilderness, each louder than the one before. Above the sky, the strong clouds swirled rapidly, forming a large whirlpool. Gradually, it looked like the navel was sinking inwards, as if someone from the sky was pulling it upwards.
Not long after, the surface of the clouds suddenly split, and the whirlpool expanded, as if a large hole was opened in the sky. Through the hole, one could vaguely see deep in the sky, and far away, there was an indescribable giant floating above the nine heavens.
However, in just a short moment, the object was covered by the light, and a curled up cloud light appeared. In just a few breaths, there was another sound of silk tearing, like an egg breaking out of a cocoon, and it exploded outwards. The sky was filled with light, and stars and silver flowers stretched out in all directions. When it reached the extreme end, it all flowed down together, and thousands of rainbows shone. The waterfall came crashing down, and there was a sound of crashing on the ground.
Although the six demon sects had decided on a plan to first stop the disciples of the Mystical Sect, because they were afraid of making a move early in the morning, they had been holding back.
Until now, when they saw that the clouds had opened, and that object had opened the forbidden gate, they knew that the time had come.
Elder Kim took out the spell. With a grunt, the cloud above him dissipated. In the next moment, he appeared on the peak of the sky.
Although his face was slightly pale, and it seemed like his vitality was greatly injured, his movements were not slow. He nimbly took out a pot, pulled out the lid, and poured it downwards.
In a split second, black smoke seeped out from the mouth of the flask. In the blink of an eye, billowing demonic clouds spread out for hundreds of miles. This devilish cloud was unable to injure others, nor was it capable of throwing one's mind into chaos. However, it could conceal one's tracks and confuse one's eyes and ears. Moreover, it was expanding outwards at every single moment, and it was even swifter than a streak of light. It wouldn't be long before it would be able to expand to a distance of 5,000km.
Follow his movements. Streaks of light flashed on the mountain below, and dozens of rainbows rushed up. All the cultivators of the Devil Faction flew up to the sky.
On Towering Pill Peak, Elder Liu glanced over and sneered. He had already expected this, so there was no surprise on his face.
The battle in the gorge had come to an end. What truly determined the outcome of the battle would be the battle in the Empyrean Realm. It would not be surprising for the six great demon sects to play some tricks.
Previously, he had intended to ask the elders of the various sects to send out one or two people. They would work together to take the initiative to stop the disciples of the Devil Faction.
However, the elders of the various sects only cared about their own disciples, and were unwilling to take the initiative to fight. They all thought that the number of people in the Celestial Sect was many times that of their opponents. If the Devil Faction dared to come, they would not be afraid and would just fight. Thus, there were very few responses to this proposal.
Elder Ying Ya thought for a moment and said, "Senior Brother, why don't we use our sect's magical treasure 'Smoke Mist Blow' to disperse this Qi?"
Elder Liu shook his head and said, "That would still take an hour. We might as well take a detour. If we are not willing to plan first, we will always be a step behind others."
Daoren Ying Ya thought to himself, "The disciples of the various sects have elders protecting them. Even if there is a small mistake, it won't affect the overall situation. Senior Brother is thinking too much."
When Elder Kim made his move, Feng Haiyang and the other five were already riding the wind in the sky. They spread out their light to the extreme and rushed into the sky.
Because there was no one to disturb them, they did not stop. After passing through the whirlpool, they arrived at the top of the sky.
There was a spiritual stone suspended in the sky. It was tens of thousands of feet tall and looked like a circle. On it, there were hundreds of holes that breathed in and out energy, shooting out tens of thousands of rays of light. At this moment, the sun was in the sky, shining both inside and outside, and it was bathed in a golden glow.
This item was made by an almighty cultivator using a piece of flying star from the sky. There was another world inside, and if one wanted to obtain the essence of Gantian Jun Yang, they would have to go inside.
This star stone looked extremely close, but it was actually in the second layer of heaven. The wind that it spat out came from beyond the nine heavens, and was especially strong. They were just standing far away, but they already felt the protective light around them trembling. It was hard for them to stand still, and it felt like they were about to be blown off.
If they rushed too quickly just now, they would have been shredded into pieces in an instant. They hurriedly used the talisman in their hands.
Once this talisman was activated with mana, it immediately turned into a spiritual flower and landed under their feet. Circles of clear light bloomed, like a lotus holding the moon, and it isolated the wind outside. The five of them did not delay, and they shouted in unison. Once again, they used their traveling lights and flew towards the star stone.
On Yaoyin Peak, Zhang Yan saw that the Gate of Heaven was wide open, and all the sects were heading to the Extreme Heaven. However, he did not seem to be anxious, and he was still calm and composed. He looked at the demonic cloud a few times, thought for a moment, smiled, and slowly stood up.
Elder Shen, Zhang Boyan, Priest Xu, and Lu Meiniang were originally sitting behind him. Seeing that he was moving, their expressions froze, and they all stood up from the spell altar.
The river below churned, and Dragon Carp Liuren broke out of the water and took the initiative to welcome them.
Zhang Yan waved his sleeves, rode the wind, and stepped on its back. He patted its horn, and the great demon let out a dragon roar. Its abdomen drove the demonic cloud, and it soared into the sky. Behind it, the four Yuanying Zhenrens used their dazzling traveling lights and followed.
When the sky brightened just now, Shaoqing Sect's Xun Huaiying was the first to fly up with his sword, and his body turned into a rainbow light, and he swept towards the Extreme Heaven.
However, Elder Kim abandoned a cloud and used his sect's secret technique, so he was one step ahead of him.
Xun Huaiying was in mid-air when he saw the black clouds covering the sky, and his vision was blocked. His expression was calm, and his traveling light did not slow down at all.
Right at this moment, a ghastly white saber light actually shot out from the clouds, and it flew swiftly as it chopped straight towards his body.
He raised his brows, and snorted coldly. He raised his sword, and easily cut the saber light apart.
A thousand feet away, the demonic cloud parted, and a middle-aged Daoist with a long beard came out. There were two blood-red clouds above his head.
He stood on an evil dragon, and there were dozens of flying sabers dancing around him. He laughed loudly, and cupped his hands. "Spiritual Master Xun, I'm Sang Wuwei from Blood Soul Sect, and I'm here to learn from you."
Xun Huaiying did not speak much, and he only nodded. "Alright!"
Sang Wuwei laughed out loud. He shook his body, and the High Cloud above his head trembled violently. Then, hundreds of Blood Spirits came whistling over. At the same time, he pointed forward and released the dozens of flying daggers that were circling around him. Then, he attacked.
Xun Huaiying stood still, and a snow-like sword light that was not more than a foot long suddenly leaped out from between his brows. It suddenly spread out, and traveled a thousand feet. Wherever the sword light went, it was like the sun was melting snow, and the hundreds of blood souls that were flying over were instantly wiped out.
Due to the sharpness of the sword, it actually split a gap in the demonic cloud, and the radiance of the scorching sun shone in.
At this moment, the dozens of flying sabers had already arrived. The sword pellet spun like a flash of light, and they were all turned into scrap metal.
Sang Wuwei was greatly shocked. Although he had long heard of the fierce reputation of the Shaoqing Killing Sword, he did not expect it to be so powerful. Just two swords had already destroyed his greatest reliance against the enemy.
As a Shaoqing disciple, Xun Huaiying mostly used his mind to control the sword pellet. At this moment, with a thought, the sword light let out a clear hum, and it trembled slightly on the spot. Suddenly, a sharp light flashed, and in the blink of an eye, it traveled a thousand feet and charged over.
Sang Wuwei was shocked, and he hurriedly took out a banner that was a hundred feet long. The sword light fell down, and the banner was cut into two, and it spun again. It was not willing to give up, and it chased after him. Sang Wuwei no longer had any Dharma treasures on him. In a moment of desperation, he shouted, and a cloud fell from the clouds above him, blocking the sword. At the same time, he quickly retreated a thousand feet away, and spat out a stinking blood arrow.
Xun Huaiying snorted coldly, and with a wave of her sleeve, the sword light flashed, and the blood arrow disappeared on its own, as if it had never appeared.
Sang Wuwei felt a chill from the bottom of his heart when he saw this scene. The blood arrow was condensed from his heart's blood, and it had never failed since it was released. However, it was cut by Xun Huaiying with a single sword strike. He really could not think of how to deal with this person.
He had only come to obstruct this Shaoqing disciple for a moment, so that Feng Haiyang and the others could go to the Extreme Heaven first. Now that he had more or less achieved his goal, he naturally did not want to lose his life here. Thus, he turned around and wanted to escape.
Seeing him escape, Xun Huaiying still stood where she was, and did not move. She only calmly took out a sword seal, and the sword pellet suddenly trembled. It was clearly over a thousand feet away, but in the blink of an eye, it actually leaped out from the void, and arrived within ten feet behind Sang Wuwei. With a sudden leap, it broke through the protective treasure light, and cut him into two with a single sword strike.
This was the Shaoqing divine art's So Close, Yet Worlds Apart. Within a thousand and five hundred feet, the sword pellet could go anywhere according to the user's will. If the enemy cultivator was slightly careless, they could only die under the sword.
Xun Huaiying directed the sword pellet with his mind, and it suddenly disappeared. When it appeared again, it was already by his side. With a wave of his sleeve, sword light wrapped around his body, and he leaped up, instantly tearing the demonic clouds apart, and rushed to the Extreme Heaven.
At this moment, in the demonic clouds, Elder Kim was adjusting his breathing, and he tried to recover some of his vitality. Suddenly, his ears twitched, and he sighed. "Xun Huaiying is indeed powerful. Elder Sang, I'll take my leave first."
The expressions of the demonic sect's elders who were gathered with him changed.
Sang Wuwei had only gone for half an incense stick, but he had already lost his life. If it were them who went, they would probably not have a good ending.
Elder Kim shook his robe and stood up. He pointed at the center of his brows, and performed the divine art 'Illuminating the Nine Nether' from Huncheng Sect. A beam of light shot out from his eyes, and with a sweep, he saw everything that was happening within the demonic clouds.
At this moment, Mount Li, Yuan Yang, Nan Hua, and Tai Hao were traveling together. There were a total of twenty disciples and elders, and as they traveled, they made a huge commotion.
On the other hand, Qincang and Yuxiao sects were traveling on their own. There were at most ten people in each path, and they were relatively weaker.
The path with the least number of people was Yaoyin and Guangyuan sects. It looked like there were only five people and one demon, and they looked the easiest to attack.
After Elder Kim saw it, he had an idea. According to the previous discussion, Mount Li and the other sects could be let go first.
As for the remaining three paths, there were a total of thirty-two elders from the demonic sect. They wanted to stop all the disciples and elders of the three sects, but they were powerless. However, if they could temporarily delay two paths, they could do it.
On the other hand, Yuxiao school had a disciple killed during the sword battle, and their strength was reduced. Yaoyin sect had the least number of people.
Thinking of this, Elder Kim straightened his body, pointed down, and said, "Everyone, the success or failure of this sword battle is of great importance. Follow me to delay the disciples of Yuxiao and Yaoyin sects, and it will be a great merit."
