Chapter 438: First Confrontation

Above the human realm's border pass.

Ye Qingxuan, through his avatar left at the border pass, silently observed the powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan beyond the border.

He was currently only at the Void Penetration realm cultivation base and did not wish to draw the attention of the Green Demon Clan's powerful figures.

Therefore, when facing the threats from the Evil Abyss Emperor,

Ye Qingxuan's avatar simply remained a quiet bystander among the human realm's powerful figures, making no rash moves.

And high above the border pass,

a group of human realm Mahayana cultivators stood suspended in the air, each locking onto a Mahayana powerhouse of the Green Demon Clan.

However, it must be admitted that although the full strength of the Di Xuan Realm and the Green Demon Realm could not yet be fully tallied,

the top-tier powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan invading the Di Xuan Realm were clearly slightly superior to the top-tier powerful figures gathered at the human realm's border pass.

At this moment, only forty-three Mahayana powerful figures were gathered at the human realm's border pass.

Yet the Mahayana powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan gathered outside the human realm's border pass numbered a full forty-eight.

Thus, when locking onto the Mahayana powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan,

Cen Zhe, the Sect Master of the Xuantian Sect; Xian Xuanzi, of the Xianxuan Sect; Yan Wuji, the Sect Master of the Blade Sect; Qingtian Jian, the Sect Master of the Sword Sect; and Dao Xuan, the Sect Master of the Daoxuan Sect—

these five individuals each locked onto two Mahayana-level Green Demon Clan members.

Among them, the Mahayana-level Green Demon Clan member locked onto by Cen Zhe included his former old rival, the Demon Evil Great Venerable.

The Master of Lingxiao Observatory, looking at the Evil Abyss Emperor whose cultivation aura slightly surpassed his own, spoke calmly with a blank expression:

"Let us fight in the void!"

As he spoke, the Master of Lingxiao Observatory instantly locked onto the Evil Abyss Emperor, intending to flee into the void with him.

After all, the Southern Barbarian Domain was territory of the Di Xuan Realm.

Although fighting within the Southern Barbarian Domain would give human cultivators a certain advantage,

considering the explosive power of Mahayana cultivators and the current cultivation levels of the Master of Lingxiao Observatory and the Evil Abyss Emperor,

if a great battle erupted within the Southern Barbarian Domain,

without the heavenly and earthly rules of the Di Xuan Realm being able to intervene,

it would easily cause devastating destruction to the environment of the Southern Barbarian Domain, thereby indirectly weakening the heavenly and earthly rules of the Di Xuan Realm.

Therefore, the high command of the Di Xuan Realm Alliance had previously agreed

that wars between Mahayana cultivators, or even Tribulation Crossing cultivators, should be conducted as much as possible within the void.

But as the Evil Abyss Emperor, whose cultivation also surpassed the Mahayana realm, how could he easily let the Master of Lingxiao Observatory have his way?

"Hmph!"

The Evil Abyss Emperor let out a cold snort, instantly breaking free from the Master of Lingxiao Observatory's lock.

His gaze looked down upon the human cultivators with contempt as he waved his hand and spoke coldly:

"Kill!"

Immediately, he led the powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan behind him to unleash a fierce attack from a distance against the human realm's border pass.

Although starting a war within the Southern Barbarian Domain would bring some suppression,

the Evil Abyss Emperor did not, on this expedition, harbor the delusion of crushing the human realm's powerful figures in one stroke.

His purpose on this journey was to use the great battle between the two races' powerful figures to inflict devastating blows upon the heavens and earth of the Southern Barbarian Domain in the Di Xuan Realm.

Thereby weakening the heavenly and earthly rules of the Di Xuan Realm and indirectly aiding the heavenly and earthly rules of the Green Demon Realm.

However, the Evil Abyss Emperor was not foolish.

Glancing at the human realm's border pass, which made him vaguely sense a hint of danger,

he did not foolishly lead the powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan close to the human realm's border pass.

Seeing that the powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan were unwilling to flee into the void to fight,

after breaking free from their own locks, they directly unleashed long-range attacks.

Facing the energy attacks sweeping in, imbued with various powerful profound meanings and rules,

the human realm's Mahayana cultivators did not lead the human realm's powerful figures away from the border pass to defend against the enemy.

Since the Green Demon Clan was the invading force,

and they, as the defending force, currently held the advantage of terrain, they naturally had to make good use of this advantage.

The many Mahayana cultivators of the human realm shouted in unison:

"Swallow!"

Instantly, under the joint control of the many Mahayana cultivators, the human realm's border pass erupted with seven-colored light.

"Boom!"

The numerous attacks launched by the Green Demon Clan were instantly swallowed and suppressed by the human realm's border pass.

And under the operation of the many great formations of the human realm's border pass,

the attacks launched by the numerous powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan were directly suppressed and transformed by the human realm's border pass, becoming the energy foundation of the border pass.

Only the attack of the Evil Abyss Emperor was intercepted by the Master of Lingxiao Observatory.

Because the Evil Abyss Emperor's attack already contained a trace of the Great Dao laws.

Although this trace of Great Dao laws was not much, and the human realm's border pass could swallow it,

after swallowing it, the human realm's border pass would be unable to digest and utilize it for itself within a short time.

Instead, it would become a burden on the human realm's border pass.

Therefore, the Master of Lingxiao Observatory decisively acted, blocking the Evil Abyss Emperor's attack.

And the energy aftereffects caused by the two were easily suppressed by the revived human realm's border pass.

Seeing this scene, the Evil Abyss Emperor's face grew somewhat gloomy.

He had originally believed that his sudden strike, led by numerous powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan against the human border fortress, would be decisive.

Even if they could not break through this human border fortress before them.

At the very least, in the clash between the two sides, they could inflict devastating damage on the environment within hundreds of thousands of li of the human border.

Yet he never expected such a result.

Gazing at the human border fortress for a moment, Emperor Xie Yuan took a deep breath, glanced at the territory of the Southern Barbarian Domain surrounding them, and a cold sneer curled his lips.

He was just about to strike, directly attacking the lands of the Southern Barbarian Domain beyond the human border.

Yet he did not expect the humans to have acted first at this very moment.

"Control!"

The many Mahayana cultivators of the human race shouted in unison once more.

Instantly, a massive, seven-colored phantom of the border fortress condensed below the human border, pressing down upon the powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan.

Seeing this, with no other recourse.

"Minor Divine Art: Abyssal Demon Hand Seal!"

The divine art attack he had originally prepared to strike the Southern Barbarian Domain instantly changed direction.

A colossal hand seal, blocking out the sky and sun, carrying surging demonic energy, surged toward the massive seven-colored border phantom of the humans.

At the same time, the Mahayana-level powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan behind him also unleashed their respective divine arts:

"Minor Divine Art: Heavenly Demon Manifestation!"

"Minor Divine Art: Blazing Flame of Fire!"

"Minor Divine Art: Evil Thunderfall!"

"Boom!" "Crash!"

In an instant, the phantom of the human border collided with the divine arts unleashed by the many powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan.

In a flash, intense tremors and deafening roars erupted.

Even with the suppression of the human border phantom, this fluctuation could not be completely quelled.

Violent shockwaves crashed wildly, and destructive energy tides swept in all directions.

Under the heavy impact of multiple forces, the entire Southern Barbarian Domain shuddered slightly.

Fortunately.

The northern border of the Southern Barbarian Domain was guarded by the human border fortress.

And in the southern border of the Southern Barbarian Domain, there existed a vast number of Void-Exploration and Sky-Nirvana cultivators from the Green Demon Clan.

With no other choice, Emperor Xie Yuan could only lead the Mahayana and Tribulation Crossing powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan to block this energy impact.

Thus, the only area ultimately destroyed in this clash was the small region between the human border and the Green Demon Clan.

Even so, the many Mahayana cultivators of the human race could not help but frown deeply.

With a thought, the phantom of the human border, which had been dimmed by the attacks of the many divine arts of the Green Demon Clan, once again received a supply of border energy.

In an instant, it recovered and continued to press down upon the powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan.
