Chapter 391

The Universe Cultivation World's eight major sect experts on the warboats near Silver Broken City stared in shock at the sudden appearance, their faces filled with terror as they watched the dart-like objects shot from Silver Broken City, their speed too fast—blink and they had already slammed into the first wave of alliance cultivators charging toward Silver Broken City, exploding one by one in midair.

Boom boom boom.

Seeing this, the alliance cultivators' expressions changed drastically; they witnessed their comrades being blown away by the dart-like objects, some spiritual bodies even pierced straight through, then torn apart by the terrifying explosive force of the objects, their faces unrecognizable.

In an instant, the entire sky echoed with shrill, miserable cries.

"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"

Xiyang shouted in terror, his voice panicked, as did the heads of Luyan Valley and the major sects—unable to remain calm.

Not long before.

The Golden Peng King drew the Great Xia East Wind into the Taiyin Holy Land of Universe Cultivation City's base; all powers had witnessed the terror of those dart-like objects, which carpet-bombed the Taiyin Holy Land, reducing its entire base to flat ground, countless Taiyin Holy Land cultivators falling.

Yet the Universe Cultivation World's major sect experts issuing orders to recall their disciples was still too late.

The Great Xia East Wind moved at extreme speed, giving cultivators no time to react; the first wave of alliance cultivators attempting to storm Silver Broken City fell like dumplings, tumbling helplessly to the ground.

Those fallen spiritual bodies had their souls pulled by a strange force, rapidly gathering toward the Myriad Soul Banner of the Qingxu Sect atop Silver Broken City—like a hellish summoning chant, leaving all alliance cultivators with chills in their hearts.

They gazed at the numerous massive black banners of the Qingxu Sect in Silver Broken City, their hearts and spirits filled with dread.

The Myriad Soul Banner was truly terrifying, blocking their spiritual bodies after they fell, destroying any hope of their souls returning to their Universe Cultivation World physical forms.

After dying in the Primordial Spirit Realm, cultivators whose souls do not return to their bodies have their Universe Cultivation World physical forms forever asleep, becoming walking corpses directly.

"Cultivators at Peak Earth Origin Realm and above, step forward!

Crystal Stone Armor Great Formation."

Xiyang stepped forward, killing intent surging as he spoke.

Hearing this, countless cultivators emerged from the alliance cultivators' ranks, gathering one by one at their designated positions as previously drilled by the eight major sect cultivators, then forming hand seals, channeling their full-body mana toward the vault of heaven, where a six-pointed star formed.

Rumble rumble rumble.

The entire earth was drawn inward, countless yellow earth energies converging toward the six-pointed star, forming a massive hexagonal prism mountain peak in the sky, enveloping the eight major sect cultivators who had just gathered.

The crystal mountain writhed wildly, gradually taking the shape of a stone humanoid.

The stone figure's entire body was piled with yellow crystal stones, crystal-clear and translucent, radiating unmatched dignity; as the eight major sect cultivators exerted full control, it slowly moved toward Silver Broken City.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

The Great Xia East Wind shot again from the Qingxu Sect's underground tunnel in Silver Broken City; seeing this, the alliance cultivators desperately controlled the stone figure's hands, where yellow spiritual power violently churned, forming a large triangular shield, thick yellow power bursting forth as they slammed it head-on into the Great Xia East Wind.

Boom boom boom.

The Great Xia East Wind, like ignited firecrackers, boomed loudly upon the yellow triangular shield, shaking heaven and earth, fierce winds howling, darkening the sky, dimming sun and moon, draining the color from Qian and Kun.

Countless cultivators in Silver Broken City stared at the scene in the sky, eyes blood-red, fists clenched tightly.

After Silver Broken City was taken over by the Qingxu Sect, numerous regulations encouraging commercial development were trialed throughout the city; now, whether large or small businesses, once they reach a certain scale, their disciples are sent to the Qingxu Sect, thus embarking on the path of cultivation.

The current Silver Broken City is not only the Qingxu Sect's Silver Broken City, but also their fundamental means of survival; although the Qingxu Sect issued orders a month ago allowing businesses to temporarily withdraw from Silver Broken City, with the right to return after the war ends and still enjoy the sect's bestowed benefits,

most business owners in Silver Broken City have given up, choosing to share prosperity and ruin with the Qingxu Sect.

Qingwei Daoist and the Tiger King, Golden Peng King, and others gazed at the massive stone figure, their eyes flashing with icy light, showing no fear toward the righteous alliance cultivators of the eight major sects—this was merely the beginning.

"A group of puppet ghosts from the Myriad Soul Banner, your arrogant time is limited.

Once ensnared in the Myriad Soul Banner, let's see how good you look?"

The Golden Peng King's eyes flashed with icy light.

In the Universe Cultivation World, the weak are meat, the strong eat; prestige is earned through might—only with a fearsome reputation will the powers know you are not to be bullied, and thus fear and dare not offend you.

Since ancient times, wherever, it is whoever has the bigger fist who speaks; the Qingxu Sect must win fame in one battle, must slaughter decisively, must make slaughter their nature.

"Yaoruotong, concentrate all firepower on a single point.

This sect wants to see just how much spiritual power the eight major sect cultivators of the Universe Cultivation World can consume."

Qingwei Daoist spoke with hands behind his back, a cold smile curling his lips.

Yaoruotong, hearing this, gripped the control panel and issued the order on the spot; the Great Xia East Wind's firepower madly converged into one, then, according to the position indicated by the Zhouyi Professor, concentrated firepower covered the area.

Rumble rumble rumble.

The terrifying power of the Great Xia East Wind exploded madly at the center of the stone figure's three-teachings shield; inside, the cultivators from the various major sects of the Universe Cultivation World controlling it all had cold sweat pouring straight from their foreheads.

They had to endure tremendous vibrations within the crystal stone; their spiritual bodies affected, over time their mana slowly drained—simply unbearable.

"Xiyang, the steward, this probably won't work.

Those dense dart-like objects keep increasing; the alliance cultivators of the various major sects don't even have a chance to catch their breath—given time, they will collapse." Xifeng walked up to Xiyang's front, face showing concern as he spoke.

"Hmph.

Those mysterious dart-like objects themselves are consumables.

I don't believe the Qingxu Sect has an inexhaustible supply; once they use them up, the alliance cultivators can launch a full-scale attack and seize the Qingxu Sect.

Now we are comparing foundations—we must not retreat.

Otherwise, all the advantages the alliance cultivators have gained by pressing forward will vanish completely." Xiyang's eyes burst forth with icy light, his tone unquestionable.

Upon hearing this, the cultivators of the other sects gradually grew cold in their eyes.

The Qingxu Sect's strange methods are numerous; since they wish to take the initiative in sacrifice, then let the alliance cultivators' sacrifice be meaningful—break through Silver Broken City's defenses in one furious push.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

As the number of shots from the Great Xia Great Wind gradually slowed, the experts of the eight major sects in the battlefield had their eyes light up; the previously scorching dart-like objects, like a torrential downpour, had frenziedly attacked, but now the dart-like objects striking the stone figure's triangular shield, aside from piling thick layers of frost at the shield's center, the shooting density had decreased by more than just a little.

"The Qingxu Sect's weapons are exhausted.

The stone figure continues advancing toward Silver Broken City." Xiyang's eyes flowed with radiant light, excitedly giving the order.

The cultivators inside the stone figure of the alliance also felt their spirits relax; upon receiving the command, they quickly controlled the stone figure to charge toward Silver Broken City.

Thud thud thud.

On the ground, flying earth and stones accompanied the bright footsteps of the charge; each step of the massive figure spanned tens of meters, mighty and supreme yellow runes causing the earth to violently tremble.

"Haha, good.

The cultivators of the eight major sects of Huanyu number in the tens of thousands; once they break the defensive great formation of Silver Severed City.

The cultivators of both sides engage in a decisive battle, with the alliance cultivators holding a tremendous advantage." Situ Fang's eyes flickered with a forest-like killing intent as he spoke in a cold, stern tone.

Countless powerhouses of Lu Yan Valley have been persecuted by the Shangqing Sect, and now they finally seek revenge; he hastily sent a voice transmission to his fellow sect's elder-level powerhouses, ordering them to enter the Shangqing Sect immediately, which means reclaiming the Void Beast Bones and rescuing Yan Ling.

"The alliance's tens of thousands of cultivators—let alone a newly risen Shangqing Sect.

Even an ant in Silver Severed City could be found and chopped into two halves alive." Upon hearing this, the Wan Zhu Shi of Tianji Pavilion curled his lips into a cold smile; sharp light flashed in his eyes as he had already ordered all Tianji Pavilion cultivators to, upon discovering Song Ze, Duan Wuliang, and Li Shixiong, directly crush their bones and scatter their ashes.

In Silver Severed City, Zhou Yi gazed at the ever-approaching colossal stone giant, his eyes flashing with brilliant light; he held an Eight Trigrams Mirror in his hand, probing every piece of information about the stone giant with utter clarity.

"Calculating the time, it should be about right."

Professor Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, speaking with firm resolve, then ordered Yao Ruotong to cease the Xia Dongfeng barrage on the stone giant.

"Alliance cultivators who storm into the Shangqing Sect will have their sect disciple status promoted by one level."

Upon seeing this, the heads of the eight major sects all produced their headmaster tokens.

Eight beams of differently colored light shot into the sky; their resounding voices shook the entire heaven and earth, causing the alliance cultivators to suffer immense spiritual shock.

The promotion of disciples of the eight major sects of Huanyu is extraordinarily difficult, requiring passage through sect examinations, held only once every three years, with each promotion seeing disciples number less than one-tenth of the participants.

Now, the heads of the eight major sects of Huanyu, by promising with their headmaster tokens, signify post-war reward status and position, along with increased cultivation resources within the sect.

The alliance cultivators within the stone giant gazed ahead at the towering Silver Severed City, their spiritual power surging; if they breach Silver Severed City, they will surely claim first merit, and their rewards will be even more abundant.

For what do cultivators fight to the death in the Primordial Spirit Realm? Is it not for the benefits promised by the headmasters?

The thousand-zhang stone giant surged forward with greater ferocity as the alliance cultivators' spiritual power surged, the surrounding earth trembling violently, rocks flying, hurricanes howling.

Crack

At this moment, a clear voice rang out in the air.

That sound was piercingly sharp, causing the alliance cultivators inside the stone giant to startle greatly; they hastily scanned the entire stone giant with their divine sense, and upon seeing the crack at the shield's center, their gazes suddenly became dazed.

Crack crack.

The stone giant's triangular shield, as it charged forward at extreme speed, vibrated violently.

The crack on it spread at a visible-to-the-naked-eye speed, rapidly radiating outward in all directions, gradually resembling a spiderweb, then extending via the shield to the entire stone giant's body.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

Suddenly.

Five beams of black light shot from Silver Severed City, freezing in the stone giant's limbs and chest in the blink of an eye; five top-like objects, sharp cones deeply embedded into the stone giant's body.

Thump thump thump.

The black top-like objects emitted a tremendous vibration, directly shaking the alliance cultivators in charge of controlling the stone giant until they were thrown to the ground, all flailing wildly in violent convulsions.

Click click click click click.

The stone giant's body, already riddled with cracks, could not withstand the tremendous vibration; instantly, as if facing a great enemy, its stone blocks peeled off at visible speed along the widening cracks, rapidly falling away.

Boom boom boom.

The massive stone blocks fell to the ground, smashing deep pits into the earth, countless dust clouds bursting in all directions until, finally, the entire stone giant collapsed into ruin.

Inside, the alliance cultivators who had been controlling it fell like ducks in water, clattering to the ground; this sight caused all observing righteous cultivators to stare in disbelief.

Their eyes filled with incredulity; the arrow-like object embedded in the stone giant's shield no longer possessed the former density of power, aside from condensing cold ice at the shield's center, its force had diminished greatly.

Why did the stone giant suddenly collapse?

"Hahaha,

Kill."

Zhou Yi's eyes flashed with wise light as he issued commands.

The alliance cultivators were now exposed to their view; the divine snipers atop Silver Severed City could strike unseen, taking the opportunity to eliminate those alliance cultivators.

Daoist Qingwei gazed at the now-disadvantaged alliance cultivators, his eyes blazing with sharp light, his face full of excitement.

The violent explosive force of Xia Dongfeng generates high heat; that stone giant and the shield in its hand are both condensed from yellow earth energy, forming a single entity.

Initially, the dense firepower of Xia Dongfeng struck the stone giant's shield, its temperature already reaching the extreme; though the cultivators controlling the stone giant were protected by their cultivation, they felt the anomaly but dismissed it as nothing.

Later, Xia Dongfeng switched to ice-attribute attack weapons, acting upon the stone giant's shield; those ice-attribute spiritual power frenziedly condensed at a single point on the stone giant's triangular shield, ice and fire in opposition, causing the shield's load-bearing capacity to collapse.

Moreover, the heads of the eight major sects of Huanyu, by tossing a giant meat patty into the air, caused the alliance cultivators controlling the stone giant to become as if injected with chicken blood, frenziedly channeling their spiritual power into the stone giant, further accelerating its collapse and disintegration.

"Daoist Qingwei, cultivator of the Huanyu headquarters of the Shaigui Sect, will arrive at the battlefield in ten breaths."

Li Shixiong's figure appeared on the high tower of the Shangqing Sect, speaking urgently.

He had come to deliver the message.

Now, the cultivators sent by the Huanyu headquarters of the Shaigui Sect to reinforce are led by Guili and Guixiao, assisting the Shangqing Sect in repelling the siege by the righteous cultivators of the eight major sects of Huanyu.

"Ten breaths are already sufficient."

Daoist Qingwei stroked his flower-white beard as he spoke, giving a glance to the Tiger King.

The Tiger King stepped forward, his mighty roar echoing across the entire sky; one after another, massive warehouse gates swung open from within the Shangqing Sect's earth palace, countless black-clad figures shooting forth at extreme speed to massacre the alliance cultivators of the eight major sects of Huanyu.

"How could they have so many disciples?"

The powerhouses of the eight major sects of Huanyu gazed upon the black, pressing mass of figures charging from the Shangqing Sect into the battlefield, their faces filled with utter disbelief.

Having come to this point, if we do not save the alliance cultivators controlling the stone giant, they will all perish.

Those are all cultivators at the peak of the Earth Origin Realm or above, the foundation of the alliance cultivators; we cannot stand by and watch them fall.

"Kill."

The eight headmaster tokens shone simultaneously; the alliance cultivators, originally in strict formation, charged into the battlefield to engage in frenzied combat with the black-clad figures.

Rumble rumble rumble.

Above Silver Severed City, the void writhed; within the swirling vortices stepped out figures similarly dressed in black attire.

"The great battle has already begun.

The sons of the Shaigui Sect's Huanyu headquarters, follow this seat in slaughtering the杂碎 of the righteous path."

Gui Li's voice rang out in the air, leading the supporting cultivators in a charge into the entire battlefield.

Wang Mei, the steward of the Enforcement Hall of the Shagui Sect's Huanyu Headquarters, saw Li Shixiong approaching from ahead and transmitted a cautious message.

"Old brother.

The Shagui Sect's Huanyu Headquarters supports forty thousand disciples.

Don't let them all be wiped out in one go, or the sect won't be able to explain it."
