In the City Lord's Residence of Heaven Dragon City, Mo Chen and Lan Shaobai counted the number of experts on Heavenly Star Island.
Lan Shaobai took out a stack of vellum and looked at Mo Chen. "The numbers are out. Martial Sages and below are ignored. The Blue Robed Emperor has a total of two thousand people, three hundred Minor Heavenly Emperor Wu, eighty Greater Heavenly Emperor Wu, twenty Sovereign Martial Emperors, and ten Holy Lord level existences, including Primes. "
"So few!" Mo Chen said with a frown.
Indeed, very few. Before the golden age arrived, the entire Heavenly Starry Ocean's accumulations totaled about this many people.
After the golden age arrived, people continuously broke through to Emperor Wu's level. Many of the older-generation cultivators also advanced further.
However, now, after the calamity, the Blue Robed Emperor only had two thousand people dead.
Minor Heavenly Emperor Wu and Greater Heavenly Emperor Wu did not even have four hundred people in total. As for Sovereign Martial Emperors, there were only twenty.
Most of these people were from the three Immortal Holy Lands. Excluding the three Immortal Holy Lands, there would be even fewer.
The sudden appearance of eighteen Immortal statues was equivalent to eighteen Primes. Their destructive power was so great that it was no exaggeration to call it the end of the world.
Lan Shaobai nodded and said, "This is indeed too few. The entire Heavenly Starry Ocean probably lost more than fifty percent of its peak combat power. Actually, if they had organized things properly, they would not have suffered such great losses.
"Unfortunately, the Heavenly Starry Ocean is leaderless. I also do not know what happened to the Kunlun Continent. To think that the Deity Dao Union and Bushin Palace did not send reinforcements. The Treasure Master's timing is too accurate. "
Mo Chen corrected, "He did not choose this timing. He created it himself."
Mo Chen believed that the Treasure Master had been planning for this day for a long time. If the Deity Dao Union and Bushin Palace had sent reinforcements, the Heavenly Starry Ocean would not have suffered such great losses.
The Treasure Master could not have been unaware of this. He definitely had a hand in the matter of the Blue Dragon Palace.
Lan Shaobai smiled, "Don't worry about that now. There's good news. The Heaven and Earth Absolute Dragon Formation has been tested several times. It's enough to withstand the attacks of the Immortal statues."
However, Mo Chen was not very optimistic. "There is another condition. If the strength of the Immortal statue does not change, then …"
Dong dong dong!
Just at this moment, footsteps came from outside the residence. Several Dragon's Gate disciples rushed in and reported, "Oh no! The Treasure Master's residence's people are charging over."
Mo Chen and Lan Shaobai suddenly stood up and instantly flew out of the hall, looking into the distance.
At the end of their line of sight, they could see the upper body of the celestial statue. The Immortal statue's eyes were cold and lifeless, as if it was already within reach.
In reality, there was still a long way to go. It was just that these immortal statues were too tall. Like a towering mountain, it could be seen clearly from a hundred li away.
"Prepare for battle."
Mo Chen's expression remained calm. She had long expected that the City Lord's Residence would not let this matter rest. The calm from before was just the prelude to the storm. It was the brewing of an even bigger storm.
However, there was a shadow in her heart. The Treasure Master's Residence's people were somewhat slow.
Under normal circumstances, after the Immortal statues were tidied up, the Treasure Master's Residence would have charged over in one day. However, eight days had already passed before the Treasure Master's Residence made their move.
"To the city gates!"
Mo Chen did not have much time to think. After calling out to Lan Shaobai, she flew towards the city walls.
Many experts had already arrived at the eastern city gates. As they looked at the huge Immortal statue in the distance, they all felt very worried.
Before the Great Calamity arrived, these people were either the Sect Masters or the Clan Heads of ancient Noble Clans. They were all tyrants of their regions.
They could be said to be major characters of the Heavenly Starry Ocean. They definitely would not have any problems taking charge.
However, now that these major characters were gathered together and looked at the Immortal statue, they did not have much confidence.
"City Lords, can the Worldly Absolute Dragon Formation block the attacks of these Immortal statues?"
The one who spoke was the Clan Head of an ancient Noble Clan. He still felt some lingering fear from the attacks of the Immortal statues.
The Clan Head of an ancient Noble Clan had a physical body that rivaled that of a Prime, nimble and agile, strong Magic Skills, and a huge body. A mere statue of an immortal was enough to destroy his entire clan, causing the entire clan to be wiped out in an instant.
"If we cannot block it, let's retreat."
The Heavenly Province Academy's Vice Sect Master clearly lacked confidence. Back then, the three Holy Lands — the Yinyang Paradise, the Heavenly Province Academy, and the Five Poison Sect — worked together to resist the Immortal statues.
In the end, they missed the best time to retreat and suffered heavy casualties. Even now, they still felt lingering fear.
"What's there to fear? With the Blue Dragon King and the three Primes around, I don't believe that we cannot take down these seventeen Immortal statues. Rather than passively defending, we might as well take the initiative to fight. "
There were also people who did not give up on their ambitions and were very confident in Xiao Chen. However, they were in the minority.
Most people tended to be conservative. If they could defend, they would defend. If they could not, they would retreat.
After all, these people had feelings for the Heavenly Starry Ocean and were tied to their interests. They could not just leave at a whim.
Mo Chen felt somewhat helpless. She did not know how to answer these people's questions. When one's strength reached a certain level, all intelligence and schemes would seem very useless.
"Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! "Three figures appeared. They were the Bright Moon Empress, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master, and the Cyclic Astral Lord.
The appearance of the Primes immediately boosted the confidence of the people on the city walls. One had to know that these Supremes had taken on quite a few Immortal statues on their own back then.
The Myriad-Law Fiend Master looked at the Immortal statues and said in confusion, "They are still playing this game? With the three of us working together, we can block seventeen Immortal statues. The Treasure Master is overthinking if he wants to use this to break through. "
The Immortal statues were as strong as Primes. However, they were inanimate objects in the end. In terms of intelligence, they were not as agile as Primes.
If the three Primes worked together, they would be able to block seventeen Immortal statues. At the very least, they would not lose.
The Bright Moon Empress frowned slightly. "It is definitely not that simple. Given the Treasure Master's character, he will either not make a move or be confident of victory the moment he makes a move. The Immortal statue this time will definitely be different in many ways. "
The Cyclic Astral Lord nodded and said, "That's right. The Treasure Master is sinister and crafty. He definitely came prepared."
The Cyclic Astral Lord could be said to have suffered a great loss against the Treasure Master. Originally, he felt that even if the Treasure Master had some scheme, the three Primes working together would be sufficient to suppress him.
Before absolute strength, the Treasure Master would not be able to cause any trouble.
Unexpectedly, when the other party turned hostile, he used absolute strength to suppress them, preventing them from causing any trouble.
If not for Xiao Chen appearing out of nowhere and surpassing Prime, the consequences would have been dire.
When the others heard the words of the Primes, they all felt some disbelief.
"That can't be. If he is really that incredible, why did he not use it earlier?" the person who threatened to charge out and fight with these Immortal statues earlier said in disbelief.
Right after that person spoke, someone suddenly exclaimed, "What is that?!"
Everyone looked over and saw a straight beam of light tearing through the clouds in the distance, quickly flying towards Heavenly Star Island.
The three Primes focused their eyes on it. When they saw it clearly, their expressions changed drastically. "It's a sword!"
That was a one-kilometer-long treasure sword. It had an exquisite design and flickered with a faint light. Even though it was one kilometer long, the cold light of the blade was still clearly visible, down to the finest detail.
Mo Chen reacted very quickly. She crossed her hands and held the formation plate between them. Then, she closed her eyes and quickly formed hand seals.
A bright light shot out from between her hands. Immediately, the Dragon's Gate disciples at the formation nodes in the city and the other cultivators all sensed it.
The Dragon's Gate disciples quickly sat down cross-legged and activated the node they were at. Thousands of azure-colored pillars of light immediately soared up from the vast Heaven Dragon City.
The pillars of light gathered in the sky. Mo Chen stretched out her hand, and a screen of light descended, encasing the entire Heavenly Star Island.
"Dang!"
The one-kilometer-long sword also instantly descended at this moment.
A loud sound spread throughout the entire city. All of Heavenly Star Island shook intensely. Fear and panic spread in everyone's heart. "Chi!
Chi! "
The sword tore through the screen of light, revealing half of its blade. Then, it hovered above the city gates, above everyone's heads. The Worldly Absolute Dragon Formation that could block Primes actually blocked the might of this sword. This was simply horrifying.
It looked like the entire sword was about to pierce through.
The Cyclic Astral Lord soared into the air, and a bright starlight descended around him. Then, it gathered in his palm.
He struck out with all his might at the critical moment, smashing out this half of the sword.
"Everyone, be careful. These are the Magic Treasures of the Immortal statues. They are all peak Immortal Equipment!"
The Cyclic Astral Lord shouted after blood leaked out of a corner of his lips.
Mo Chen did not dare to be careless. Her hands moved increasingly faster, and the azure light barrier slowly darkened. Finally, dragon motifs appeared on the light barrier, giving off a loud dragon roar.
The power of the sound wave knocked back the one-kilometer-long sword.
The seventeen Immortal statues soared into the air. At this moment, they finally arrived. They looked down at the people below, aloof and aloof. Their cold, lightless eyes were like they were looking at a group of ants.
A magic treasure hovered above the head of every immortal statue, emitting a misty immortal aura.
There was a flying sword, a treasure mirror, a jade fan, a bell, or an ancient lamp. Every one of them was very shocking, deterring anyone from looking at them directly.
Despair appeared in the depths of everyone's heart on Heavenly Star Island. No one had expected that the Immortal statues, which were already strong enough, could actually use Magic Treasures. The result of this battle was decided the moment it started.
"Prepare to retreat. There is no more fighting," the Cyclic Astral Lord whispered to Mo Chen.
If there were only one Immortal statue with a Magic Treasure, it would be fine. However, all seventeen Immortal statues had Magic Treasures, so there was no need for that.
"My three old friends, how have you been?"
Laughter resounded, and a black figure flew out from behind the seventeen Immortal statues. That person's appearance was blurry. One could only vaguely make out a terrifying saber wound on his face.
"Treasure Master!"
The Bright Moon Empress and the other two were startled, recognizing this person.
Since the Immortal statues appeared, the Treasure Master had not appeared. This was the first time he appeared before everyone.
The Treasure Master stood on the head of an Immortal statue and looked down at everyone. He said, "Cyclic Astral Lord, Fiend King, and Palace Master, the three of you are the strongest. You should know the pros and cons. I'll cut to the chase. Leave behind half of the cultivators in the city. The rest can leave. Don't wait until the very end before you know what's good for you. "
The Treasure Master's tone was calm, but his casual words determined the life and death of half the people in the city. This simply made the cultivators in the city unable to calm down.
After a long period of silence, no one answered. This question was too heavy.
"Haha! It looks like not everyone is willing to give me face. I still have to knock them down a peg or two."
The Treasure Master smiled coldly, and the Magic Treasures of the seventeen Immortal statues flew out at the same time, heading for Heavenly Star Island, eliciting startled cries.
