Chapter 1489: The Mountain Gate Falls, Life and Death Crisis (2) Chapter 1489: The Mountain Gate Falls, Life and Death Crisis (2) Editor: Henyee Translations Despair filled the hearts of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance disciples as they cried out in fear and rage.
Some wanted to flee, while others were determined to resist until death, contributing their meager strength to the fight.
“Activate the Nine Provinces Cold Light Formation!” At the critical moment, just as the sect's protective formation, the Primordial Benevolent Tree King Array, began to warp and fracture under the immense pressure of the primal energy, another surge of vast primal power erupted from within the Rogue Cultivator Alliance.
Around the Primordial Tree Array, mysterious beams of light shot into the heavens, rapidly sketching complex and intricate patterns.
Under the influence of this new formation, a bluish radiance descended from beyond the void, forming an invisible cage.
It also resembled a giant shield made of countless interlocked prisms, creating a barrier between the Rogue Cultivator Alliance and the advancing Earth Immortals.
“Boom!
Boom!
Boom!” The enormous vortex clashed against this new formation, causing spatial ripples to spread violently like waves in a shaken sieve.
Towering tidal waves of space rippled outward, crashing onto the ground around the alliance's mountain gate, causing it to sink and form a massive abyss.
The Rogue Cultivator Alliance now stood isolated like an island surrounded by a void chasm.
Disciples of the alliance stumbled under the shockwaves, gazing at the heavens with a mixture of terror and relief.
Thanks to this second formation, they had narrowly survived another catastrophic assault.
“There's another formationaEUR ” Ziwei Venerable and the others clicked their tongues in annoyance.
This newly activated array, unlike the Primordial Tree Array, was clearly a defensive formation.
Even with their combined assault, they could only leave shallow dents on it, a testament to its formidable strength.
“So, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance truly isn't to be underestimated,” one muttered.
Though frustrating, this was not entirely surprising.
As the dominant force of the Western Continent, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance had to possess some formidable defenses.
Yet, regardless of the formation's strength, as long as Jiang Chengxuan did not appear, no defensive array could withstand their combined efforts indefinitely.
Without hesitation, the Earth Immortals exchanged glances and launched another round of attacks, giving the Rogue Cultivator Alliance no time to recover.
“Defend with everything you have!
Fight to the death!
Hold out for reinforcements!” Qin Shenwu, responsible for maintaining the Nine Provinces Cold Light Formation, shouted, his voice ringing out like a thunderclap.
He activated every celestial treasure in his possession, pushing the array to its limits to repel the incoming devastation.
“You've gone too far!
None of you will leave here alive today!” Taking advantage of a brief respite as the array held firm, Shen Ruyan turned her furious gaze toward Netherwind Venerable, whose earlier arrogance had ignited her wrath.
“RoaraEUR”!” The thunder dragon, transformed from her Five-Thunder Immortal Sword, roared as it flew back to her hand.
Without warning, Shen Ruyan's figure blurred into a streak of lightning, vanishing in an instant.
Her target was clear.
The devastating aura of celestial tribulation lightning fused with the death aspect of her life-and-death Dao laws, creating an overwhelming force that sent chills down Netherwind Venerable's spine.
Unwilling to take the attack head-on, he maneuvered through the storm on his deathly windstorm, releasing volleys of arrows to slow her advance.
However, Shen Ruyan was relentless.
Wrapped in protective lightning, she shattered each arrow with precision as she closed the distance, her Five-Thunder Immortal Sword casting afterimages that struck Netherwind's blessed land, causing it to fracture and ripple with distorted thunder.
“Damn it!
This crazy woman!” Netherwind Venerable cursed as he struggled to fend off her relentless assault.
Despite his efforts, Shen Ruyan's primal power rivaled his own, and her Dao laws even countered his.
Moreover, her combat experience, honed under Jiang Chengxuan's guidance, far exceeded his own.
Overwhelmed, he could only curse in frustration.
Time slipped away amid the chaos of their battle.
The clash of so many Earth Immortals had turned the world into a chaotic realm where day and night blended, and even the flow of time seemed distorted.
The Rogue Cultivator Alliance struggled valiantly, but without their strongest pillar, Jiang Chengxuan, they were severely outmatched.
Despite Shen Ruyan's relentless pursuit of Netherwind Venerable, leaving him heavily injured and bleeding across the skies, and despite Xuanhan Immortal's valiant efforts to hold off three opponents, the overwhelming strength of twelve Earth Immortals proved too much.
Even with the aid of the two great protective arrays, countless elders fought until their seven orifices bled.
The alliance's defenses, however, had their limits.
“It's about to break!
Strike with everything you've got!” Under the chaotic storm of primal energy, the alliance's protective arrays began to collapse.
The Primordial Tree Forest was reduced to ashes, leaving less than a tenth of its strength.
The prismatic shield of the Nine Provinces Cold Light Formation cracked and shattered like a fragile spiderweb.
Ziwei Venerable and the others, who had grown increasingly frustrated at the drawn-out assault, roared in unison and unleashed their final, devastating blow.
“Boom!
Boom!
Boom!” Amid a series of deafening explosions, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance's protective arrays crumbled.
Shards of the formations rained from the heavens as the mountain gate was left defenseless.
The resulting shockwave sent the elders maintaining the arrays flying.
They spat blood as their auras flickered and collapsed to the ground, clutching their chests as they gasped for air.
Despair filled their eyes as they watched the Earth Immortals storm into the broken mountain gate, standing tall and unchallenged as they gazed upon the shattered remains of the alliance.
Fortunately, during the prolonged battle, most of the disciples had already been evacuated, sparing the alliance from even greater losses.
“Damn you!
How dare you!” High in the sky, Xuanhan Immortal roared, his body drenched in blood as he attempted to turn back and defend the mountain gate.
“Stay where you are!” Starwild Venerable, Stardown Venerable, and Starcalamity Venerable surrounded him immediately, locking him in place with their combined primal energies.
Meanwhile, Shen Ruyan transformed into a torrent of lightning, rushing to aid the mountain gate, but was intercepted by Nethermount Venerable.
Though she managed to gain an advantage in their clash, she could not simultaneously overcome both Nethermount and Netherwind Venerable.
“Should we kill them?” Inside the shattered mountain gate, standing amid the ruins of the sect's main grounds, one of the Earth Immortals from the Central Continent turned to his peers, glancing at the elders of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance.
Killing these elders risked Jiang Chengxuan's wrath, a reprisal no one wished to face.
After today's battle, they had come to respect the alliance's hidden strength.
If Jiang Chengxuan were present, their victory would not have been guaranteed.
“Kill half.
Spare the other half,” suggested the elder ancestor of the White Dragon Immortal Sect after a moment of silence.
The others nodded in agreement, finding the compromise reasonable.
It left some room for maneuver while ensuring the alliance would be severely crippled.
“You beasts!
Do you think we fear death?
Kill us if you dare!” The elders of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance rose unsteadily, wiping blood from their mouths as they glared at their foes.
“Today, it's either you or us!
Elder Jiang will send you all to hell for this!”
