Chapter 193: Great Battle, Unrivaled Among Peers!
You stood above the sect, gazing at the approaching enemy from afar. Seeing their numbers, several times your own, the pressure weighed heavily on you.
If only I could break through to the Fusion realm! You let out a long sigh. With your strength unmatched among those of the same rank, once you broke through to the Fusion realm, the victory of this battle would be all but certain.
As for Tribulation Crossing, and even the battles between Great Vehicle stage cultivators, they were simply not something you could interfere with at your current level.
“Sect Master, don’t worry. We old fellows are here.” Ancestor Kongling’s figure appeared, comforting you.
“That’s right. The Fusion realm cultivators will be left to us.” Ancestor Mo Yang appeared as well, saying.
“As the Sect Master, you only need to control the battles of cultivators below the Return-to-Void realm.”
“That should be nothing to you, right?”
“Of course not! I will never disappoint you Ancestors!” you promised.
“Sect Master Ye!” Outside the sect, a woman in palace robes stood in the air, saying.
“If you bring your entire sect to submit to me today, I can let bygones be bygones regarding past grievances!”
You glanced at Princess Anle, then extended your hand, pointing at the various sect masters and clan patriarchs, and said with a light laugh, “And then I’d become like them, a running dog at your beck and call?”
“How dare you!!!” Your words made several of them burn with shame and rage, and they immediately spoke up to stop you.
“What, you dare to do it but not own up to it?” You smiled, and in front of the disciples of every major faction, you laid out everything they had done.
To you, if the truth could turn the disciples of the major factions against their leaders, that would be for the best.
Even if it failed, it cost you nothing.
Instantly, you saw the disciples of the various factions begin to waver. Some even directly questioned their sect masters, and the scene descended into chaos.
“Silence!” A voice rang out, and you saw the Blazing Venerable.
“What a silver-tongued brat. This Venerable will remember you.” Venerable Flame Bird glanced at you, and you once again felt that searing pain.
“Hmph!” Ancestor Yunyi appeared, leading a group of Ancestors. “You dare to bully the Heavenly Blade Sect as if it has no one?”
“Are you alright?” Ancestor Yunyi glanced at you, asking.
“I’m fine.” You shook your head. In that instant, not only were you fine, but your comprehension of the Law of Fire had become even deeper.
The Great Vehicle stage powerhouse’s use and understanding of the Power of Law had benefited you greatly.
Of course, if not for Ancestor Yunyi being there, you might have already been burned to ash by the Law of Fire!
“Your old wounds haven’t healed and you still dare to come out? I was almost fooled by you!” The Blazing Venerable stared at Ancestor Yunyi, his expression somewhat ugly.
“What, not convinced?”
“Dare you come out and fight!” The Blazing Venerable provoked.
“Why would I fear?” Ancestor Yunyi walked out of the Sect-Protecting Grand Formation and, together with the Blazing Venerable, vanished into the void to do battle.
The battles between Great Vehicle stage powerhouses — even just the aftershocks could annihilate the entire Heavenly Blade Sect. So you well understood the Ancestors’ method of vanishing into the void to fight.
“The sect is left to you all.” The Ancestors of Tribulation Transcendence stage and above walked out one after another, each seeking their own opponent.
Once both sides had no more Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators, your heart relaxed.
With the Sect-Protecting Grand Formation in place, even facing an enemy several times your number, you remained unafraid.
“Hm?” You saw a few familiar strangers — your so-called Master, an Eighth-Rank Formation Master, and the Core Disciples of Ancestor Xuanming!
“Are they breaking the formation?” You saw them holding formation disks, moving around the edges of the formation, as if arranging something.
“No. They’re trying to seize control of our Heavenly Blade Sect’s Sect-Protecting Grand Formation!” Ancestor Kongling explained.
“What?” Your expression changed slightly, and you immediately looked toward Ancestor Mo Yang beside you.
“Ancestor, it’s time for you to act.”
“Understood.” Ancestor Mo Yang nodded in acknowledgment, then personally led the Fusion realm cultivators out of the Sect-Protecting Grand Formation, attacking those Formation Masters.
Watching Ancestor Mo Yang and the others being blocked, you asked Ancestor Kongling beside you, “Ancestor, does this Sect-Protecting Grand Formation have any offensive methods?”
Ancestor Kongling smiled bitterly. “They need to enter the formation first before there are offensive methods.”
“Enter the formation?” You smiled. The other side wasn’t stupid; how could they possibly enter the formation so easily?
You looked at your Senior Brothers who were seizing control of the Sect-Protecting Grand Formation, and made up your mind.
“Ancestor, I’ll leave the grand formation to your control.” You said to Ancestor Kongling, then landed on the ground and looked at the entire sect’s disciples.
“Return-to-Void realm disciples, where are you!”
“We await the Sect Master’s command!” Over a hundred Return-to-Void realm disciples stood in the air, shouting loudly.
Among the Return-to-Void realm disciples, there was almost no one you were familiar with, because these disciples were all the Core Disciples of the various Ancestors!
They were also the Heavenly Blade Sect’s most elite batch of disciples! It would not be an exaggeration to call them the hope of the Heavenly Blade Sect’s future.
“Follow This Sect Master and slay the enemy, protect the sect!”
“Protect the sect!”
With the Human Sovereign Banner in your left hand and a Heaven-Rank Spirit Sword raised in your right, you led over a hundred Return-to-Void realm disciples, resolutely walking out of the Sect-Protecting Grand Formation.
Facing the Return-to-Void realm cultivators of the Turtle Breath Sect who came to block you, you laughed aloud and were the first to attack!
Every sword you swung, a Return-to-Void realm cultivator’s head fell to the ground.
With a wave of your left hand, Remnant Souls emerged from the Human Sovereign Banner, devouring the Remnant Souls within the fallen Return-to-Void realm cultivators!
The hundred Return-to-Void realm disciples the Turtle Breath Sect had sent were cut down by half in an instant, and killing intent involuntarily spilled from your body.
In your left hand, the Human Sovereign Banner roiled with black qi, over a hundred Return-to-Void realm Remnant Souls wandering within. The moment any Return-to-Void realm cultivator drew near, their soul would be devoured in an instant!
In your right hand, the Heaven-Rank Spirit Sword raged with sword qi. The blood of Return-to-Void realm cultivators had stained the blade crimson, giving off waves of sinister aura.
The Turtle Breath Sect disciples were terrified by your slaughter. In just half a quarter-hour, not a single one dared to approach again.
“Sect Master, are you… really a Return-to-Void realm cultivator?” Xiao Fan watched your artifacts from afar, not daring to come close at all.
“Hm?” Hearing Xiao Fan’s murmur, you glanced back. After finding that not a single one of your people had fallen, you were quite satisfied.
Your strength was too great — so great that not a single cultivator of the same rank dared to make a move.
“Not a bad brat. Let This Venerable have a go at you!” A Fusion realm mighty figure appeared above your head, gaze fixed on you, killing intent overflowing.
