Chapter 1213

"Activate the Protective Sect Grand Formation immediately!"

"In an instant, within the starry sky where the Long River Sword Sect resides, blazing divine radiance shot forth."

"Hiss—!"

"Dense sword qi shot up from countless stars, like myriad streams surging, the heavens and earth a vast expanse."

"The Long River Sword Sect's Protective Sect Grand Formation takes sword qi as its guide, reverses the offensive, forming a sky‑reaching sword formation; vast sword qi emanates from the formation, as if countless spirit swords pierce the starry sky, a most magnificent sight."

"In a short time, the entire star sea was covered by endless sword qi."

"Long River Ancestor looked at Wanderer Child, 'Wanderer Child, lend me the Wave‑Breaking Sword for a moment.'"

"Wanderer Child nodded, opened his right hand, and the Wave‑Breaking Sword turned into a stream of light that shot toward Long River Ancestor."

"Long River Ancestor chanted, 'The waters of the great river come from the heavens, flowing to the sea and never returning!'"

"Upon him appeared an immeasurably vast, icy sword qi, like the great river rushing downward, all of it pouring into the Wave‑Breaking Sword."

"Buzz—!"

"The Wave‑Breaking Sword directly produced a resonance, and a terrifying sword intent began to tremble."

"Go!"

"Long River Ancestor flicked his sleeve, and the Wave‑Breaking Sword shot straight toward the heart of the Sky‑Reaching Sword Formation; wherever it passed, sword qi surged forth endlessly, ultimately evolving into an boundless sea of sword qi."

"The boundless sea provides an inexhaustible source of power for the Sky‑Reaching Sword Formation!"

"At this moment, outside the formation, many powerful ones of the Demon Cloud Sect began to frenziedly attack the formation."

"Each produced their Spiritual Weapons, driving stellar power to the extreme; endless rolling black demonic qi, like a black‑ink river, struck the vast sword qi."

"In the void, two great forces—one black, one white—pressed against each other."

"The Demon Cloud Sect cultivates the demonic path, devouring and refining other great powers, turning them into black demonic qi; its slaughtering power is extremely formidable."

"Boom—boom—boom!"

"The entire Sky‑Reaching Sword Formation began to tremble; much sword qi was devoured by the demonic qi, turning into specks of black light, and the outer formation already started to corrode."

"Long River Ancestor's expression shifted slightly; he directly ordered the outer perimeter of the Long River Sword Sect to retreat, gathering toward the core star sea."

"After all, the Demon Cloud Sect's strength surpasses that of the Long River Sword Sect; their demonic qi can devour sword qi."

"If we shrink the formation's range, we can hold out longer!"

"At that moment, from the direction of the Demon Cloud Sect, a black‑robed elder rose into the air, hands behind his back, a sinister look on his face, and gave a cold snort to Long River Ancestor: 'Long River Ancestor, you are already a turtle in a jar; how long can your sect's formation hold?'"

"This person is none other than the Demon Cloud Sect's Grand Elder, Han Sen!"

"Long River Ancestor gave a cold laugh, 'Han Sen! For endless ages, under the authority of Emperor Yunlan, you have done evil, causing suffering to all beings; now you dare attack the disciple of the Dao Master! Demon Cloud Sect, you already have a death sentence!'"

"Han Sen gave a sinister grin, black smoke and miasma rising from his body, 'Heh heh heh… Is Yunlan Heaven still the Emperor's domain? Do you think you will perish first, or the Emperor?'"

"The Demon Cloud Sect and Emperor Yunlan are bound together in the same boat."

"The will of Emperor Yunlan is their will; they need not consider retreat."

"Just then."

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

"In the star sea where the Long River Sword Sect resides, an anomaly appeared; outside, vast amounts of temporal and dream power began to shatter—this is the power of the Xuan Lin Butterfly Ruins."

"The Xuan Lin Butterfly Ruins loom above true Yunlan Heaven, using the heavenly domain as a foundation to construct Emperor Yunlan's palm‑sized world."

"As a hegemon‑level power, the Long River Sword Sect was naturally projected by Emperor Yunlan into the Xuan Lin Butterfly Ruins, becoming a crucial part of it."

"This is how Emperor Yunlan controls the lifeline of the Long River Sword Sect!"

"Previously, Wanderer Child activated the Wave‑Breaking Sword, cutting the dao patterns between the palm‑sized illusion and Yunlan Heaven, causing the power sustaining the illusion and the real world to collapse; thus Little Nana was injured."

"If it weren't for Ji Fuyao worrying about Little Nana and ordering Wanderer Child to stop, this destructive trend would have become even more terrifying!"

"Seeing this, everyone was shocked."

"If the original Xuan Lin Butterfly Ruins were an ice lake, now that ice lake has cracked open a fissure."

"Moreover, as time passes, the fissure on that ice lake will only grow larger!"

"Elder Han Sen's face turned hideously ferocious as he shouted, 'Long River Ancestor, this is your doing! Once the Xuan Lin Butterfly Ruins collapse, the Deceit Palace, the Gu Clan, and the demon race will storm true Yunlan Heaven; when the heavenly domain falls, you will be the eternal sinners of the domain!'"

"Long River Ancestor simply laughed, 'Good, good, good! We are the eternal sinners, and you Demon Cloud Sect are truly righteous turning evil!'"

"Ji Fuyao touched Little Nana's cheek; her condition is poor, she feels drowsy."

"Little Nana rubbed her eyes with her hand, trying to wake herself, but her eyelids still drooped; 'Big sister, I'm a bit sleepy, I'll nap a little. If big brother comes and calls me, I'll wake up.'"

"Ji Fuyao felt a pang of pity as she stroked her hair, 'All right.'"

"Now the Xuan Lin Butterfly Ruins are undergoing an anomaly; Little Nana is inseparable from it, so she naturally suffers greatly."

"Commander Zhang Liao frowned slightly, 'That damned Emperor Yunlan has been using Little Nana all along, even claiming her as his adopted daughter—utterly shameless!'"

"Little Nana has borne too much!"

"Hiss!"

"On Little Nana's shoulder, the dancing butterfly emitted a strange Divine Light, shooting straight out, vanishing before everyone's eyes, and in an instant it fell into the Xuan Lin Butterfly Ruins."

"At that moment, within the Xuan Lin Butterfly Ruins, the four factions all looked toward the distance, somewhat shocked."

"Boom—!"

"Boom—!"

"Near the center of the illusionary realm, a tract of land shattered; the illusory heavens, earth, and rivers became unstable, continuous mountains began to collapse, rivers started to dry up, and many palaces and towers began to crumble."

"Many illusory beings also struggled to maintain that mysterious state; their forms grew faint, and they cried out in utter bewilderment."

"What is happening?"

"What has happened to our bodies…"

"Is this a heavenly disaster? Emperor Yunlan, please save us!"

That place originally was near the imperial capital of the mortal realm, being the projection formed by the Changhe Sword Sect.

Now the Changhe Sword Sect has undergone an anomaly, causing this place to also experience a startling change!

In the direction of the Deceitful Hall, the Nether Formation Elder gazed at that heavenly change, a faint cold smile appearing on his face, "Is this illusory realm finally unable to hold up?"

They had traveled for several days in the Mysterious Scale Butterfly Ruins, having already discerned its secrets.

The illusory realm collapses, they will step into the true Cloudmist Heaven!

They could not ask for more!

The Nether Formation Elder looked toward the Xuanji Holy Lord, "Our gains this time are not bad. Give me a little more time, I will be able to comprehend the formation patterns of all Everlasting Heaven. Bai, you are also skilled in geomancy; watch my secret technique closely, and whatever you can comprehend will depend on your fortune."
