Chapter 205: Beyond the Scattered Immortals!
Chapter 205: Beyond the Scattered Immortals!
Xuan Tianyi made a casual grab, but it instilled in all the cultivators a sense of impending doom as if the heavens were caving in. The ground shook, and a deafening roar filled everyone's ears.
The cultivators of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm tried their best to resist, but their cultivation, though high, was insignificant compared to Xuan Tianyi, and they were no match for him.
Rumbling—
The ground continued to crumble, and the vast demonic energy surged forth like a volcanic eruption. Countless bolts of lightning intertwined like dragons, gathering in the palm of Xuan Tianyi's right hand.
At this moment, Xuan Tianyi's aura reached its peak. His white hair danced wildly, and his expression was crazed, like a malevolent god incarnate.
Elder Lin Lu stabilized his figure and quickly cast a spell with both hands, pushing his palms forward. His spiritual power surged like a raging dragon, carrying the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The forces of wind and fire clashed and swept across the shattered land, heading straight for Xuan Tianyi.
In the face of this immense spiritual power, everything in the world seemed insignificant.
Xuan Tianyi raised his hand, facing the overwhelming waves of wind and fire. With a single palm strike, he tore through the rolling winds and flames, forming countless fire dragons that scattered in all directions.
"Form the array, slay the demon!"
Elder Lin Lu shouted angrily, and the other Seven Stars Spirit Realm cultivators leaped into action, moving away from Xuan Tianyi.
Suddenly, Xuan Tianyi took a step and appeared behind Elder Lin Lu, his side facing the elder.
Xuan Tianyi's eyes were filled with killing intent. He struck out with his palm, and demonic flames ignited in his hand as he pierced through Elder Lin Lu's chest, causing blood to splatter.
Elder Lin Lu's eyes widened in shock and anger.
Xuan Tianyi raised his arm and then dove down, slamming Elder Lin Lu, who was hanging from his arm, onto the shattered ground. He then started swinging wildly, causing the Seven Stars Spirit Realm cultivators to feel anxious and worried. Even the great cultivators from the distant sects watched with hearts pounding in fear.
Although the Mighty Demon wasn't as physically imposing as the Demon Ancestor or the Great Demon Kings, the aura it exuded was even more powerful.
Elder Lin Lu turned into a cloud of blood mist, and in an instant, his physical body appeared dozens of miles away, bloodied and with his robes in tatters, a far cry from his usual composure.
Xuan Tianyi stepped out from the blood mist and looked up. He saw countless sword shadows descending from the heavens, their silver light dazzling. In the blink of an eye, they engulfed him, and dust rose like a dragon devouring the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Countless sword shadows bombarded the ground, causing the entire land to tremble violently.
The attackers were dozens of Seven Stars Spirit Realm sword cultivators, floating in the high sky with their swords inverted before them. The sword blades vibrated, emitting a crisp, piercing sound.
Witnessing the powerful sword array of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm cultivators, the cultivators from various sects felt their hearts stir. They quickly retreated, moving away from the battlefield.
The difference in cultivation levels was too vast, and they found it difficult even to fly, let alone fight. They had no choice but to expand the encirclement.
Lu Baitian, holding onto An Hao, quickly retreated.
"Master, is there no hope at all?" An Hao asked through gritted teeth, his eyes fixed on Lu Baitian.
Hearing that Xuan Tianyi had undergone a demonic transformation, his heart ached.
Lu Baitian gazed at the distant chaotic and terrifying battlefield and said in a low voice, "The priority now is to eliminate the demon!"
Li Ya and Zhang Bukou were also retreating. Their cultivation levels were too low, and they felt suffocated by Xuan Tianyi's demonic might.
"Brother Li, we can't take advantage of the chaos at all!"
Zhang Bukou whispered anxiously.
He felt that the Holy Land was unable to stop the Mighty Demon.
Li Ya remained silent, his heart pounding.
In his eyes, the Holy Land was the strongest force in the world. With the Holy Land taking the lead, he had expected their pressure to be lessened.
But now, the situation was completely opposite to what he had imagined. Even the mighty Holy Land was being overwhelmed?
On the other side, Elder Lin Lu flew into the sky and took out one magical artifact after another, setting up arrays and casting spells to besiege Xuan Tianyi.
"What's going on... He shouldn't be this strong..."
Elder Lin Lu thought with trepidation. He could sense that Xuan Tianyi was still getting stronger and seemed to be on the verge of breaking through to an even higher realm.
A realm beyond the Scattered Immortals!
Only one person in the Six Stars Cave had reached such a realm, and that person was not on the continent.
After achieving the Immortal Realm, most cultivators would leave the continent and explore the oceans. It was only because of his family's crisis that he had returned.
Before he could think further, a surge of demonic energy burst forth from below the sword array, shattering it and causing dozens of Seven Stars Spirit Realm sword cultivators to spit blood and fly backward.
This demonic energy was like a sword blade piercing through the sky, aiming straight for Elder Lin Lu.
It was too fast!
Elder Lin Lu didn't even have time to dodge and could only instinctively counter with his spiritual power.
Boom—
His figure was engulfed by the demonic energy, and the cloud sea above was pierced through. As the demonic energy dissipated, sunlight shone through the hole in the clouds.
All the magical artifacts in front of Elder Lin Lu shattered, and although he barely managed to block the attack, he was covered in blood, a pitiful sight.
He, too, was a Scattered Immortal, with an eighth-layer cultivation base. Yet, in the face of Xuan Tianyi, he was utterly helpless.
"Damn it..."
Elder Lin Lu roared in anger, and his spiritual power exploded, causing the ground below to shatter once more. The spiritual energy of the earth rose like a grand curtain, covering a radius of hundreds of miles and engulfing his figure in a majestic display of power.
Xuan Tianyi suddenly appeared behind a Seven Stars Spirit Realm cultivator and grabbed the top of his head, causing the cultivator's face to twist in fear.
Before the cultivator could react, Xuan Tianyi extracted his soul. He opened his mouth and forcibly devoured it.
His right hand loosened, and the cultivator, now devoid of his soul, collapsed to the ground.
The other Seven Stars Spirit Realm cultivators were petrified by this sight and scattered in all directions.
Xuan Tianyi vanished and reappeared behind a female cultivator in the blink of an eye. He grabbed her head and devoured her soul once more; these Great Vehicle Realm cultivators didn't even have the qualifications to resist in front of him.
Boom—
A fierce gale blew in, and Xuan Tianyi turned instinctively to look. Within the spiritual energy canopy that obscured half the sky and land, streaks of green light flashed by. Each figure held a different kind of spiritual artifact, their heights reaching a hundred zhang, resembling heavenly soldiers and generals from another world, an unstoppable force.
...
Third Medicine Valley.
Gu An sat at his desk, practicing calligraphy while watching the battle unfold.
Possessed by the Mighty Demon, Xuan Tianyi single-handedly suppressed the Seven Stars Spirit Realm. The scattered immortal repeatedly displayed divine abilities, shaking heaven and earth. Unfortunately, he couldn't harm Xuan Tianyi and could only watch as Xuan Tianyi continued to devour souls.
Gu An sensed that ten scattered immortals were rushing to the battlefield, flying in from the northern ocean of the continent at incredible speed.
They must be reinforcements from the Seven Stars Spirit Realm!
"Strange, he still has Xuan Tianyi's soul aura within him, it doesn't seem like a body snatching, but the two are so compatible, as if they were originally one..."
Gu An thought perplexed. He had originally planned to make his move when the Mighty Demon broke free, but because of Xuan Tianyi, he had no choice but to wait a little longer.
The Seven Stars Spirit Realm intended to use the Mighty Demon's reputation as a righteous sect to draw Xuan Tianyi into their scheme, dealing a heavy blow to Tai Xuan Gate's strength and reputation. Their scheme was despicable.
But the Mighty Demon was about to break through to the Immortal Journey realm, and this probably wasn't part of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm's plan. Otherwise, Elder Lin Lu wouldn't have made his move prematurely, forcing the Mighty Demon to break free ahead of schedule.
The variable was Xuan Tianyi.
It seemed that Xuan Tianyi still had some unknown secrets.
Thinking carefully, Xuan Tianyi's talent didn't seem like something Tai Xuan Gate could have cultivated. Moreover, during his growth, he hadn't cultivated in the Seven Stars Spirit Realm but instead chose to go south.
Regardless, Gu An was determined to save Xuan Tianyi.
Now, the Seven Stars Spirit Realm was stuck between a rock and a hard place, and it was an excellent opportunity to use the Mighty Demon's hand to weaken their strength and reputation.
At the very least, he needed to let the other sects know that the Seven Stars Spirit Realm was not an invincible existence.
When Gu An saw Xuan Tianyi spare Ji Xuanling, his expression became subtle.
Aside from Elder Lin Lu and Ji Xuanling, all the other Seven Stars Spirit Realm cultivators had their souls devoured, leaving only their empty shells behind.
Without anyone to restrain him, Elder Lin Lu was no match for Xuan Tianyi, but since they were of the same realm, it would be difficult for Xuan Tianyi to eradicate Elder Lin Lu completely in a short time.
Suddenly, Xuan Tianyi dived deep underground, and as soon as he disappeared, the ten scattered immortals arrived.
In the Demon Battlefield, the sky and land were dark, and the earth was engulfed by billowing dust, as if it were the time of chaos before the world's creation.
Elder Lin Lu looked at his fellow sect members and said in a low voice, "He's about to break through to the Immortal Journey realm!"
As soon as these words left his mouth, the faces of the ten scattered immortals changed drastically. Without any orders, the scattered immortals dived into the fissures in the ground one after another, chasing after Xuan Tianyi.
Elder Lin Lu took out a pill and popped it into his mouth, then began to heal his injuries in the air.
His expression was ugly, and his heart was filled with panic.
The Lin family had already lost Lin Jingxian, the most talented member of their family in history, and they had almost exposed the Seven Stars Spirit Realm's plan. This time, he had come to atone for his crimes and make meritorious deeds, but he never expected the Mighty Demon to be so strong.
Ten thousand years ago, the Mighty Demon had just reached the scattered immortal realm. How could he be so powerful now?
Could there be someone else behind the Mighty Demon?
The first person he thought of was the Supporting Sword Sage.
The Supporting Sword Sage could easily kill scattered immortals and was likely an Immortal Journey realm cultivator. There was only one Immortal Journey realm cultivator in the Six Stars Cave, and without knowing the true identity of the Supporting Sword Sage, they naturally dared not act rashly.
Could the Supporting Sword Sage be from a powerful sect in the sea, specifically targeting the Seven Stars Spirit Realm?
"We shouldn't have let the Mirage Flower Sect in three hundred years ago!"
Elder Lin Lu hated it. The Six Stars Cave was full of factions, and his Lin family couldn't make the decisions. But now that things had developed to this point, his Lin family had suffered the most significant losses.
Most of the disciples who had their souls devoured just now were from the Lin family. How could he not hate it?
At the same time.
Tai Xuan Gate and the other sects had retreated ten thousand miles away, and they could sense that there were only two breaths of Seven Stars Spirit Realm cultivators left, which made them even more frightened.
"Even the righteous sect can't suppress the Mighty Demon?"
"If it weren't for the righteous sect, we would probably be dead by now."
"The righteous sect is indeed worthy of its name, but its foundation seems to be a little..."
"Could it be that we still have to rely on the Supporting Sword Sage in the end?"
"I guess the Supporting Sword Sage will only make a move when the Mighty Demon reaches the Three Kingdoms border. We're really useless; we always cause him trouble..."
The cultivators of the various sects discussed, while the Tai Xuan Gate members felt depressed.
Xuan Tianyi being possessed by the Mighty Demon was a huge blow to their morale.
Lu Baitian stared into the distance, his face gloomy and his eyes flickering.
An Hao had calmed down and could only wait for the outcome. He hadn't yet associated Xuan Tianyi's predicament with the righteous sect and was only concerned about Xuan Tianyi's safety.
However, before long, an even more terrifying demonic aura erupted from underground, startling everyone and changing their complexions.
