Chapter 838: The Power of the Great Cultivator, Instant Kill!
Chapter 838: The Power of the Great Cultivator, Instant Kill!
On this day, in front of the boundary monument between the two realms of the Heavenly Capital Sect, three figures stood apart.
They gazed at the battlefield ahead, where spirit energy boiled and lights and shadows danced.
Each of them had a solemn expression, and their bodies were on high alert.
"As expected, the Heavenly Capital Sect, with its thousands of years of heritage, has stopped the invading Demon Emperor. The battle continues!"
"Should we enter the array?"
"We haven't seen any traces of the Abyss Sect members, so it's not advisable to enter the array at this time."
"Do you still remember the request of the Heavenly Capital Master before we set off?"
The last sentence was spoken by Luo Chen.
This statement caused the initially confident Golden Plume True Monarch to raise her eyebrows.
Without hesitation, Luo Chen walked at the forefront and stepped into the Heavenly Capital Domain, where spirit energy was boiling.
"Since I've agreed to the Heavenly Capital Master, I won't abandon them to their fate. I'll do my best to help."
The Fenghua Fairy took a deep breath, and the calmness she had maintained for several days vanished as her anger resurfaced.
"I must avenge my junior sister's grudge!"
After saying this, a faint wind encircled her fingertips, and amidst the wailing, the wind transformed into a straight and taut long sword with a swish.
The long sword was pale green, and the fairy moved like the wind, gracefully entering the domain.
The last one to arrive, Golden Plume, smirked and self-mockingly laughed, a golden feather appearing in her hand.
"Never mind, I want to see for myself what kind of sinister and cunning thing it was that once intimidated my senior brother and made him dare not act recklessly!"
She enveloped herself in spirit power and transformed into an arrow, shooting into the Heavenly Capital Domain.
...
"Damn it! If the twelve Heavenly Gods Smashing Flags were still here, how could such demonic beings run rampant without any obstacles?"
"Don't sigh, junior brother. The power of the Heavenly Gods Smashing Flags is immense, and only a Great Cultivator can activate them. Even if Senior Brother Heavenly Capital Master didn't take them away, we wouldn't be able to activate them either."
"What should we do now? Ordinary killing arrays can't do anything to that female demon."
"The only plan now is to shrink our defenses, abandon the outer perimeter, and concentrate our spiritual energy to defend the mountain gate!"
"Senior Brother Tianquan is absolutely right!"
On top of the Heavenly Pillar Mountain, four Daoists sat cross-legged in a circle, each with a solemn expression.
After deciding on a strategy, they no longer hesitated.
They made hand gestures, and the spirit veins beneath them trembled incessantly.
Within the entire Heavenly Capital Domain, a large amount of spirit energy flowed along the spirit veins, continuously gathering and surging towards the direction of the Heavenly Capital Sect's mountain gate.
The speed was so fast that the earth veins shook, as if a dragon was rolling beneath the ground.
Above the earth, the wind and clouds changed, and a large amount of spirit energy gathered into mist, rolling like a tidal wave with a roaring sound.
Such a method was by no means something an ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarch could display.
It was only after thousands of years of management by the Heavenly Capital Sect that they could freely manipulate the spirit energy of an entire domain.
As a large amount of spirit energy was extracted, various arrays throughout the Heavenly Capital Domain lost their main source of energy and began to continuously collapse.
Just as one array was retracting, Tianquanzi, the leader among the four, suddenly exclaimed lightly.
"There's a strange Nascent Soul expert in the array."
One of the junior brothers showed a surprised expression, "Could it be that there are more than seven Demon Emperors?"
Tianquanzi shook his head, "It shouldn't be. That's a human cultivator. Don't worry, junior brothers. Let me carefully communicate with them!"
After saying this, he made hand gestures and his lips moved as if he was having a conversation with someone in the air.
After a while, a look of joy appeared on his face.
"It's a Daoist friend from the Heaven Ascending Pass who has come to support us!"
"The one who contacted me is Luo Chen from the Alchemy Sect."
"He asked us to inform them of the number of enemies, their distribution, and the methods they've displayed. Additionally, we should leave some arrays to conceal their tracks."
"The Heavenly Capital Sect is saved!"
...
Inside a remnant illusion array, Luo Chen had his eyes slightly closed, with a man and a woman guarding his left and right sides.
Suddenly!
Swish!
Luo Chen abruptly opened his eyes, and his pale golden pupils stared straight at a certain location.
"Did you make contact?" Fenghua Fairy asked anxiously.
Luo Chen nodded, "I've made contact. The Heavenly Capital Sect's Tianquan has informed me of the general situation, and next..."
Golden Plume blinked, her eyes carrying a hint of depth.
Previously, in the Iterating Cloud Domain, Luo Chen had demonstrated an exceptional understanding of arrays.
At this moment, in front of them, he conversed with the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Heavenly Capital Sect about the principles of arrays, defying the array's logic.
Such array expertise was no longer as simple as "slightly understanding" it.
A Nascent Soul cultivator with exceptional combat strength had used his profound pill refining skills to establish connections, and now he revealed his array expertise, comparable to the array masters of the Heavenly Capital Sect.
"He has truly become a force to be reckoned with!"
"And such an existence is the enemy that senior brother has always wanted to deal with."
"If senior brother succeeds, it's fine. But if he fails, he will suffer backlash, which will bring a calamity to our Five Elements Divine Sect!"
Thinking of this, Golden Plume's lowered eyes became even gloomier.
Fenghua Fairy, seeing him with his head down and a somber expression, assumed it was because of the enemy intelligence information sent by the Heavenly Capital Sect.
The Proud Deception Commander, a fourth-stage late-stage Great Demon Emperor!
The other six unfamiliar Demon Emperors, three of whom were at the fourth-stage mid-stage, had demonstrated strength on their way to the Heavenly Pillar Mountain that was no less than ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
The remaining three had not taken action, so their cultivation level was unclear.
But these three had been exploring the weaknesses of the arrays, leading the group of Demon Emperors forward swiftly. It was evident that these three were the array experts Luo Chen had mentioned earlier!
"This is tricky!" Fenghua Fairy muttered.
Luo Chen, on the other hand, showed confidence, "The Heavenly Capital Sect is not an ordinary sect. They've been managing this domain for thousands of years, so it won't be easy to break through in a short time. If we coordinate with them well, we have a chance to win the battle!"
Golden Plume raised her eyelids, "How should we coordinate?"
Luo Chen smiled confidently, "If you don't mind, how about following my commands?"
Golden Plume and Fenghua exchanged glances and then nodded.
"Go ahead and tell us!"
...
The battle in the Heavenly Capital Domain had been going on for three days.
From the beginning, it had been a one-sided situation.
The seven great Demon Emperors rampaged without hindrance, charging straight towards the Heavenly Pillar Mountain, the core of the Heavenly Capital Sect's mountain gate.
Along the way, large and small arrays never ceased to function.
Even though they knew it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, the cultivators of the Heavenly Capital Sect still did their best to activate the arrays, exerting all their strength to block the seven Demon Emperors.
This was a life-and-death situation, and the four Supreme Elders had already made their stand—to fight to the death and never retreat!
In fact, their efforts did indeed delay the Demon Emperors' advance to some extent.
Each array was led by a Golden Core cultivator, and with the support of a region's spirit energy, the destructive power unleashed was no less formidable than that of an ordinary Essence Spirit cultivator.
Even though the seven Demon Emperors had three brothers who were skilled in breaking arrays, they still needed to expend spirit energy to break the arrays.
Under such continuous attacks, the other four, led by Jinxiu Immortal, had their spirit energy constantly depleted.
On the fourth day, the seven Demon Emperors finally saw the towering Heavenly Pillar Mountain.
A stunningly beautiful woman in a luxurious palace skirt gazed at the mountain, sensing the surrounding spirit energy beginning to gather towards the Heavenly Capital Sect. She had already understood everything.
"They're planning to defend to the death!"
Behind her, a white-robed cultivator with a sinister smile said, "Like a turtle in a jar, how long can they hold out?"
Jinxiu Immortal smiled slightly and looked at the three Demon Emperors whose appearances and clothing were so similar that it was hard to tell them apart.
"Lu Changsheng, can you break the Mountain Defense Array of the Heavenly Capital Sect?"
Among the three, Lu Changsheng stepped forward, gazing into the distance at the layer upon layer of light screens, resembling both surging waves and a primeval forest. His face showed a hint of solemnity.
"The array path we three brothers cultivate comes from the array book passed down by Emperor Tian. It understands the movement of celestial phenomena and the flow of earth energy, and is most effective in suppressing these large-scale arrays built upon mountains."
"But the Heavenly Capital Sect is different. As the most outstanding array sect in the human cultivation world, it has long established its own unique style."
"Especially this Mountain Defense Array that safeguards the sect, not only combines celestial phenomena and earth energy, but also incorporates the flow of yin and yang, and the principles of the five elements and bagua."
"Breaking it is no easy task!"
A yellow-robed cultivator spoke up in a straightforward manner, "If it were easy, why would we need to join forces? Tell us, can we break it or not?"
Lu Changsheng's face showed a look of difficulty.
Jinxiu Immortal spoke up, relieving his embarrassment.
"There's no need to break it completely. Just like before, find its weaknesses, and leave the rest to me."
With this promise, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Such a large array must be interconnected, allowing no room for error. Next, when you attack the grand array, we three brothers will have the opportunity to find its nodes. At that time, by pulling them out one by one, the chain reaction will expose the array's defects!"
"Good!"
Jinxiu Immortal praised, her gaze sweeping over the other three demons.
"From now on, follow the commands of the Deer Family Brothers!"
The other three demons snorted but did not object.
Subsequently, under the command of the three demons, the three fourth-stage mid-level Demon Emperors began to test the array's reactions one after another.
Jinxiu Immortal temporarily held back from taking action.
...
A deafening boom sounded, followed by the heavy rumbling of running footsteps.
Within the light screen, a white-robed man with a sinister expression was forced to retreat, with a giant engulfed in raging flames chasing after him.
Lu Changsheng's words suddenly echoed.
"This is a fire array, and there must be wood and earth arrays on the left and right sides."
"Yellow Wind Guest, attack from above and lure out the water array!"
"The clash of water and fire will create internal conflicts within the grand array!"
The yellow-robed cultivator did not hesitate and soared into the sky, unleashing a rolling yellow wind.
As if stimulated, a blue water dragon emerged from the array, shaking its head and tail.
The yellow-robed cultivator did not linger and also retreated.
The blue water dragon chased after him, clashing with the fire giant above and below, their powerful auras influencing each other and seemingly weakening.
At this moment, a golden giant sword, thousands of feet long, soared into the sky.
Lu Changsheng's words sounded again.
"Thousand Threads, counter with softness to overcome strength!"
Among the three demons, the one who had not yet taken action, a black-robed cultivator, blinked and charged towards the golden giant sword.
At the same time, the white-robed man and Yellow Wind Guest also turned back, engaging the fire giant and blue water dragon.
The rippling light screen of the grand array began to tremble violently.
A bagua diagram slowly emerged from the Heavenly Pillar Mountain.
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath when he saw this.
"Supreme Commander, it's up to your skills now. Once this core array diagram is broken, the rest of the arrays will be nothing to fear."
Jinxiu Immortal nodded, and with light steps, she entered the array.
As she entered, a massive surge of demonic energy rippled, causing the bagua diagram to shake violently.
Inside Heavenly Pillar Mountain.
The four Supreme True Monarchs were drenched in sweat, their faces filled with terror.
The Heavenly Capital Sect possessed three top-tier arrays: the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array that sealed off the nine heavens, the Dou Tian Twelve Heavenly Gods Smashing Array renowned for its killing power, and the ever-changing Five Elements Bagua Array, a versatile array for both offense and defense.
Each array had extremely strict requirements for its setup.
The Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array required more than ten Essence Spirit cultivators to work together to set it up.
The Dou Tian Twelve Heavenly Gods Smashing Array needed twelve divine weapon-level Dou Tian Gods Smashing Spears as its core, and also required a Great Cultivator to preside over its formation.
As for the Five Elements Bagua Array, known for its versatility, one must consider all aspects during its setup.
At this moment, inside the mountain gate of the Heavenly Capital Sect, over ten thousand low-level cultivators were seated at various array nodes, controlling the operation of the grand array.
Among them, there were already over a hundred Golden Core cultivators!
It was with the help of these low-level cultivators that they could transform the five elements and withstand the pressure from the three fourth-stage mid-level Demon Emperors.
With the support of a region's earth meridian spirit energy, they could hold out for a short time.
According to the plan, the four of them, with their minds focused, would activate the Bagua Diagram, which would be sufficient to suppress the remaining four Demon Emperors.
But no one expected that Jinxiu Immortal alone would be able to withstand everything.
Even the boundless demonic power within the Bagua Formation, which showed that this woman still had strength to spare, was not suppressed.
"Is there really such a big gap between a Great Cultivator and us?"
An elder of the Heavenly Capital Sect spoke with a bitter expression.
Tian Quan's expression turned solemn, "In a situation where the Transformation Gods are reluctant to take action, the Great Cultivator is already at the peak of the realm. How could we underestimate them?"
The abilities of the Great Cultivator had almost reached the limit of human potential.
Only those of the same level as the Great Cultivator could rival them! No matter how many praises there are in this world, it's hard to describe the capabilities of the Great Cultivator.
A simple example is, how would you describe the strength of a Supreme True Monarch?
You just need to say that they are "comparable to a Great Cultivator," and that would be enough to explain everything! The Blood Scatterer in the North Sea was like this, as was the Yin Scatterer before reaching the late stage of the Supreme True Monarch, and the Nine Spirit Supreme Monarch in the Eastern Wilderness was also like this.
And this was just a mere comparison; if they were to face the Great Cultivator after reaching the Supreme True Monarch stage, they would often only be able to barely protect themselves.
The Blood Scatterer barely managed to preserve his life under the pursuit of the Great Cultivator of the Yuanmo Sect, and the Nine Spirit Supreme Monarch was defeated by the Demon Emperor Qing Shuang. This shows how formidable the true Great Cultivator is.
At this moment, with Jinxiu Immortal's full power unleashed, even with the support of the array, the four True Monarchs of the Heavenly Capital Sect, whose spirit energy was amplified several times over, couldn't help but feel a sense of hopelessness that they couldn't resist.
As the strongest and highest-ranking among the four, Tian Quan knew that he couldn't let this feeling of despair continue to spread.
After calming himself, he shouted, "The Purple Mansion is wide open, the Primordial Spirit is connected to the heavens, and the Bagua Formation is activated to its limit. With all our strength, we must hold back Jinxiu Immortal and create an opportunity for the Alchemy Sect to defeat them one by one!"
"Will they really come?" someone hesitated.
"If they don't come, we're as good as dead!" Tian Quan glared at them.
The three junior disciples naturally understood this reasoning and no longer hesitated.
The barriers of their Purple Mansions suddenly parted, as if opening the doors to their caves.
One by one, tender white Primordial Spirits emerged from their crowns, maintaining the same posture as their physical bodies, and began to chant incantations.
In an instant, spirit energy surged forth!
Not only that, but the spiritual energy drawn from heaven and earth was also forcibly controlled and infused into the Bagua Diagram.
The Bagua Diagram suddenly started spinning, transforming into a gray mist that completely enveloped Jinxiu Immortal's graceful figure.
After doing all this, Tian Quan muttered, "Alchemy Sect, don't let us down!"
...
"Great Commander!"
Almost at the moment when Jinxiu Immortal was submerged by the Bagua Formation, the six demons outside noticed.
Huang Fengke even considered abandoning his opponent to go and provide support.
Just as he was about to leave, Lu Changsheng's voice quickly reached him, "This is the perfect opportunity to break the formation. We must not let go."
Huang Fengke responded to the attacks of the Azure Water Dragon while scolding angrily, "You three brothers are talking nonsense. If the Commander suffers any loss, even if we conquer the Eastern Wilderness in the future, you will only get the corners of the land."
Lu Changsheng smiled, "Don't worry. With Jinxiu Immortal's strength, the formation can only trap her, not harm her. Even if it does trap her, it won't be for long. Moreover, it's time for us three brothers to take action!"
After saying this, he looked at his two brothers.
After a moment of silent understanding, the three demons each produced a treasure light in their hands.
A compass, a bronze mirror, and a flag.
"Enter the formation!"
Lu Changsheng said and was about to lead the way into the formation.
But the next moment, he had a sudden realization and felt a sense of shock.
He turned around abruptly, and in a place that was previously empty, three streams of light suddenly burst forth.
"Not good, there are enemies!"
The three streams of light shot into the sky, and their powerful auras were completely unconcealed, with spirit energy fluctuations at the mid-stage of the Supreme True Monarch.
Wherever the streams of light passed, the void exploded, and the earth shook violently.
Lu Changsheng's three brothers didn't hesitate and immediately deployed their defenses.
However, the three streams of light weren't heading towards them; instead, they directly charged into the formation and rushed towards the white-robed man.
The white-robed man noticed all of this, and his sinister face revealed a look of panic.
But the fiery giant in front of him showed no intention of letting him leave; instead, it burst into flames, trying to entangle him tightly.
It was at this moment.
A phoenix cry rang out, echoing through the clouds.
A giant fire phoenix spread its dazzling wings and rushed forward.
Whoosh...
It was as if someone had exhaled, blowing out a gust of clear wind.
Then, a sudden gust of wind appeared, adding to the fire phoenix, making it fly faster and its flames more intense.
With the help of the wind, the fire grew stronger.
The originally hundred-zhang-long fire phoenix suddenly expanded to a thousand zhang in size, and its eyes seemed to have become more lively.
It dove down with lightning speed and pounced on the white-robed man.
Boom! Amidst the loud explosion, agonizing roars could be heard.
The fire phoenix and the fiery giant, one after the other, exploded, submerging the white-robed Demon Emperor in endless explosions.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
The agonizing roars of a beast echoed through the four directions after the explosions subsided.
Then, rays of white light emerged from the Mountain Defense Array, disregarding everything and flying in all directions.
"Northwest, the weakest one!"
A voice as cold as cruelty suddenly spoke up.
Then, a golden feather suddenly pierced through.
Pop!
It was as if a bubble had been pricked, and then a terrifying burst of spirit energy erupted uncontrollably.
Jin Ling, in a golden robe, stood amidst it all, allowing the remnants of the Demon Emperor's shattered Primordial Spirit to batter his spirit energy shield, causing his robe to flutter loudly.
He looked behind him.
A man and a woman revealed themselves, and they were none other than Luo Chen and Feng Hua.
