Chapter 925: Chapter 527: Evading Tribulation at Yunhuang Mountain, All Sects Reveal Their Foundations (Part 2)
However, the personnel we can retreat with are almost gathered in Weaving Phoenix City. If we continue to confront them, Iâm afraid the Netherworld will discover our weaknesses.â The Nine Chimeras Demon Lord said coldly, his tone indifferent.
No one expected Zhao Jingheng to be the first to nod in agreement: âWhat the Demon Lord said is very true. We should seize the initiative before the opposite side initiates; our chances of victory might be higher.â
âYan Donor, Iâve heard that before your ancestorâs Ascension, he left behind a Flame Emperorâs Breaking Formation Drum, which can boost morale among our troops and diminish the enemyâs fighting spirit. This artifact is perfect for the decisive battle. I wonder if your Nanyan Family brought it this time?â Among the present Nascent Soul Ancestors, a monk in a Buddhist robe suddenly smiled and spoke.
âHaha, the intelligence of the Sacred Heart Temple is indeed sharp. This war concerns the survival of the Human Clan in this realm, so my Nanyan Family will not be stingy. Naturally, we have brought the Flame Emperorâs Breaking Formation Drum.â An elder in a crimson robe smiled faintly and replied.
âVery good, our sect is willing to summon the ancestral spirit coffins of past masters, and once the battle begins, with the combined attack of thirty-odd Nascent Soul Sword Immortals from our Sky Splitting Sword Dao, itâs enough to sweep through the hundred thousand Ghost God Cultivators. But I wonder whether the sects here will adhere to their promises and bring their foundations to bear before battle, as this victory might decide the future of the Human Clan in this realm.â The Sky Splitting Sword Dao Sect Master raised his eyebrows, looking sharply at the other sect ancestors.
âSect Master Zuo need not worry, our Lingyun Academy has already invited thirty ancestor Confucian scholars, and by the time of the great battle, we will definitely not let you all down.â The Confucian-robed middle-aged man from Lingyun Academy smiled upon hearing this, his tone firm.
âHaha, you need not worry about the Corpse Demon Army of our Beast Taming Sect; while it may not completely sweep the battlefield, it certainly wonât be a drag on you all.â The Hundred Beasts Lineage Master of the Beast Taming Sect said confidently.
âOur Sacred Heart Temple has dispatched eighteen Golden Body ArhatsâŠâ
ââŠThe remains of our sectâs True Monarch from previous eras have been transported to Flying Immortal City six months agoâŠâ
Immediately, the Nascent Soul Ancestors present began revealing the trumps of their sects.
At this moment, the foundations of the top forces were clearly displayed, with each having summoned over a dozen Nascent Soul ancestor spirit coffins.
These pseudo-dead Nascent Souls, who retain their final fighting power and awaken to fight for the survival of the Human Clan in this realm, will surely fight with boundless resolve and die without regret!
âIt seems our preparations are quite comprehensive. Now we just wait for the âEast Windâ to rise.â Once everyone present had expressed their positions, the Heavenly Termination Immortal, who had been sitting with closed eyes, slowly opened her eyes and said calmly.
âIndeed, the âEast Windâ will decide this battleâs success or failure. It canât go wrong; given that the battle is imminent, itâs best to confirm once again.â The Nine Chimeras Demon Lord nodded solemnly.
The twenty-four Nascent Soul Ancestors in the hall were all serious, but none knew what the âEast Windâ referred to by the two True Monarchs was, nor did anyone dare to ask.
No, someone actually dared to ask.
At this moment, an elder in a richly patterned crimson robe suddenly flashed his eyes and curiously asked: âDare I ask True Monarch, what does the âEast Windâ refer to?â
The Nine Chimeras Demon Lord snorted coldly and said icily: âDonât ask what you shouldnât! What should be known will naturally be revealed to you.â
âYes, yes, forgive me True Monarch. I spoke out of turn and now realize my mistake.â The elder in the crimson robe hurriedly bowed and apologized.
âYou all must clearly understand, if the battle is lost, not just our sectâs ancestral practices but even our legacy may be utterly lost. At this moment, any opportunistic or deliberately concealing forces will have no good end.â The Nine Chimeras Demon Lord scanned the attendees, his voice cold and merciless.
The twenty-four Nascent Soul Ancestors present felt a chill at these words, nodding in agreement.
While the group of Divinity Transformation Nascent Souls secretly discussed in Weaving Phoenix City, on a mountain peak several hundred miles away, two silhouetted figures stood faintly visible.
These two figures emitted no aura or form, clearly possessing highly advanced concealment Divine Skills.
The two silhouettes, one fat and one thin, included a chubby white-faced man, who mocked while gazing far into Weaving Phoenix City.
âThe people of Tianzhu Realm are always so naive! Do they really think we canât detect their secret retreating?â
The other thin tall elder smirked strangely: âHaha, let them remain hopeful until death! If it werenât for the Asking Dao Sect, Heavenly Balance Sect, and other Rebellious Sects causing trouble from the rear, we would have conquered this damned Tianzhu Realm long ago.â
âNot goodâŠâ
Just then, the white-faced manâs expression changed drastically, unleashing his robust cultivation power, revealing himself as a Nascent Soul Great Priest.
He slapped his big belly, and with a puff, a pair of three or four zhang long Profound Black Golden Wings sprouted from his back, flapped vigorously. His form blurred and flew out beyond a hundred zhang, desperately fleeing towards the horizon.
âHuh?!â
A soft âhuhâ echoed in the air, seemingly lightly surprised.
The white-faced man managed to evade, but the thin tall elder didnât react in time, his body seized by a suddenly emerging azure-black giant hand.
The giant hand gripped fiercely, and this man couldnât even scream before his flesh shattered into bloody pulp, unable to escape with his Nascent Soul.
Seeing this horrid scene behind him with Divine Thought, the white-faced man was utterly terrified, expelling a mouthful of essence blood. A blood mist enveloped him.
The blast of blood exploded into more than a dozen identical blood-colored tunneling lights, speeding in all directions.
At this moment, a hundred-zhang tall demon shadow vaguely faded into view in the sky.
After an indistinct cold laugh, azure-black giant hands appeared from nowhere, grabbing at the scattering tunneling lights.
In an instant, all escaping blood-colored tunneling lights were caught by the azure-black giant hands and firmly held.
Thump, thump!
A series of agonized cries sounded, and the dozen blood lights vanished, leaving only the furthest fleeing bloody plump figure.
Bound in shadowy black chains.
Behind him, a Three-eyed Giant phantom slowly emerged in mid-air, resembling the Nine Chimeras Demon Lordâs features, and greatly similar to the Ghost Chi Clanâs Great Chi Jian.
In the City Lord Mansion hall of Weaving Phoenix City, Nascent Soul Ancestors still discussed the front-line war situation when the Nine Chimeras Demon Lord suddenly smiled coldly.
Beside him, the Heavenly Termination Immortal sensed something amiss, releasing Divine Thought, and her eyes chilled as she perceived happenings hundreds of miles away.
âHmph, theyâve dared to come to our doorstep, yet still remain unaware. How utterly useless!â The Heavenly Termination Immortal frowned and suddenly chided.
The words caused the Nascent Soul Ancestors present to change their expressions slightly and glance over.
The Nine Chimeras Demon Lord smirked coldly, waved his hand, and vast black light appeared, spreading into a light screen.
The light screen flowed, displaying scenes from hundreds of miles away.
At this sight, the hall fell into deathly silence.
All Nascent Soul Ancestors were mute, realizing their location had been compromised.
âJiu Chi True Monarch, Heavenly Extinction True Monarch!⊠It seems the time remaining for us is scarce.â Zhao Jingheng spoke with difficulty after watching.
âSince the secret of Yunhuang Mountain has been exposed, we must remain vigilant for any surprise assault by the Ghost God Army from now on.â Mo Baijue, Deputy Sect Master of the Immortal Device Sect, spoke gravely.
Other Nascent Soul Ancestors looked around and exchanged glances.
Then, the Nine Chimeras Demon Lord said solemnly: âYou all must immediately alert Flying Immortal City! I will take the prisoner and head to the main base. Heavenly Termination Taoist, the rest is left to your guardianship.â
Heavenly Termination Immortal appeared very confident, saying faintly: âWith my presence, thereâs nothing to worry about here!â
âGood, I shall go then!â
Before the words had quite finished, the Nine Chimeras Demon Lordâs figure erupted like a bubble, suddenly disappearing from everyoneâs sensing amidst this presence.
