Chapter 1226

All members of our Deceit Palace, gather within an hour! Kill our way to the Long River Sword Sect!

The voice fell, like thunder echoing through the star sea.

Boom—boom—boom!

More and more Deceit Palace experts came howling from all directions, all stepping onto the black cloud ships.

After an hour, all Deceit Palace experts had gathered; the vast uncanny power poured out in all directions, a mighty surge.

Heitan Sha Laozu's face was full of self-satisfaction as he looked toward Xuanji Holy Lord, saying, 'This operation has gone smoothly; we will strike while the iron is hot and slay Lu Xuan!'

Xuanji Holy Lord nodded without changing expression, though he secretly chuckled.

Master only needs to make a slight move, and he can slay Heitan Sha Laozu!

Besides, this trip also lets me see Master again.

Her mood improved unbidden.

Beside him, the Nether Formation Elder had already regained his senses, holding a formation plate in his hands, continuously inscribing formation patterns into it. He frowned and asked, 'If Qi Chun Jing descends wielding the human race's sword, how should we respond?'

Heitan Sha Laozu heavily patted the Nether Formation Elder's shoulder, saying, 'If so, then it's up to you!'

The Nether Formation Elder's face twitched, and he immediately understood, 'Escape?'

Heitan Sha Laozu gave a dark chuckle, saying, 'You have already comprehended the formation patterns of Endless Heaven; leaving Endless Heaven would hardly be difficult, would it?'

The Nether Formation Elder nodded, saying, 'Give me time, and I will inscribe several large formation plates!'

Heitan Sha Laozu said, 'All right. On the way to the Long River Sword Sect, surely there will be enough time, right?'

Enough!

The Nether Formation Elder waved his hand confidently.

Boom—boom—boom!

Numerous Deceit Palace black cloud ships began to speed across the Void, emitting a fierce aura like vicious beasts; wherever they passed, thick uncanny mist surged like a sea, continually devouring the World Tree's power along the way.

While inscribing the formation plate, the Nether Formation Elder explained the Mysterious Scale Butterfly Ruins to Xuanji Holy Lord, black flames igniting in his eyes, saying, 'Bai, I must say, the structure of the Mysterious Scale Butterfly Ruins is quite unique.'

'Above and below, the four directions are the universe; past and present are the cosmos. The Mysterious Scale Butterfly Ruins are essentially a small world constructed by Cloud Mist Breaking Heaven, using the power of time as the cosmos and the true heaven-and-earth projection of Cloud Mist Heaven as the universe; this is indeed quite ingenious.'

'The most important of these is the power of time, namely that little girl and butterfly… huh?'

Having said that, the Nether Formation Elder suddenly frowned, saying, 'Right, we haven't seen that little girl and butterfly anymore; now the Mysterious Scale Butterfly Ruins are shattered—where are they?'

Heitan Sha Laozu instantly felt a sense of danger, saying, 'If that little girl is controlled by Lu Xuan and his allies, things will go badly! The monster clan hasn't left yet—let them act as well. These idiots, don't waste free fighting strength.'

Xuanji Holy Lord secretly smiled.

Is this again sending food ingredients to Master?

She naturally supports it!

Heitan Sha Laozu immediately sent a sound transmission to the monster clan, ordering them to attack the Long River Sword Sect.

…… => We need to output the ellipsis as is? Probably just "……". We'll output "……". Keep as is.

Half a day later.

At the Long River Sword Sect.

Above the azure firmament, only an earth-yellow bead continued to spin, surging with immense spatial power on its surface.

The Mysterious Scale Butterfly Ruins vanished completely, no longer existing.

The sky was bright and the air clear, with a gentle breeze.

Lu Xuan slowly opened his right hand, saying, 'Come back!'

Whoosh!

The Stabilizing Pearl instantly turned into a stream of light, shooting toward Lu Xuan.

This pearl had been activated by him several times, yet the power it contained remained immensely vigorous and endless.

'System, this thing is not bad,' Lu Xuan said lightly.

The System gave a dark chuckle, 'Hey.'

Just then, the Long River Old Ancestor suddenly stepped into the Void, loudly addressing Lu Xuan and Yang Ling'er, 'Lord Lu, Your Majesty! The Demonic Cloud Old Ancestor is arriving with the Demonic Cloud Sect's experts and the Cloud Mist Army!'

Lu Xuan appeared calm and unconcerned, saying, 'No problem.'

Yang Ling'er raised her jade hand, her beautiful face showing a cold expression, saying, 'Battle!'

Below, Commander Zhang Liao immediately issued the order, 'Endless Heaven Army, assemble!'

Numerous Endless Heaven Army soldiers gathered like a tide; they had long been ready, awaiting a great battle.

Battle! Battle! Battle!

Everyone's face showed towering killing intent and battle intent as they each summoned their spiritual weapons; divine light illuminated heaven and earth, and soon all the commanders' forces gathered above the Void, standing in neat ranks, their aura swallowing myriad miles.

Lu Xuan fell into thought.

Those about to descend are all at the Nine-Star Dao Void Realm, even half-step Dao Lords.

He is currently only at the Low-Star Dao Void Realm, perhaps unable to slay them.

That Stabilizing Pearl is merely a spatial treasure; its offensive power is not impressive.

In this battle he lacks a decisive move.

Danger!

Just as Lu Xuan was pondering, the Long River Old Ancestor's body surged with icy sword intent, bowing respectfully to Lu Xuan and saying, 'Lord Lu, this battle is ours to handle; please rest a moment.'

Lu Xuan remained calm, saying, 'Sure.'

He could not have asked for better.

Now, in this heaven and earth, the will of Cloud Mist Breaking Heaven has long been dispelled; Yang Ling'er can activate the World Tree Dao Patterns to press down the heavenly domain's will upon the Demonic Cloud Sect's people, while also granting the Endless Heaven Army some Dao Resonance blessings.

With one waning and the other waxing, this battle is hardly a tough fight!

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan leisurely lay on Yan Chuang.

Xiao Nannan still tightly hugged Lu Xuan, lying in his arms, her face beaming with a happy smile.

Lu Xuan probed Xiao Nannan's interior; that seal began to slowly loosen, like a bamboo shoot breaking through the soil, and it continued to silently accumulate power.

Once the seal is undone, this girl will descend directly into the world, and she will be terrifying beyond measure!

At that moment, the Long River Sword Sect rose into the air, flicked its sleeves, and loudly commanded, 'All members of the Long River Sword Sect, gather and prepare for battle!'

The voice fell!

"Chi—chi—chi—chi—chi!"

In the Star Sea, countless sword qi shot up into the sky, each sword cultivator flying on their swords, forming an incredibly vast river of sword qi.

Every sword cultivator's face was filled with extreme excitement.

They have waited for this day far too long!

The Long River Sword Sect has waited for this day far too long!

Above the Void, Yang Ling'er, Ji Fuyao, Ye Chen, and the others were also ready, all gazing toward the distant starry sky.

"Boom—!"

"Boom—!"

That surging sea of demonic qi in the distance moved at extreme speed, pouring down upon the Long River Sword Sect; wherever it passed, black qi roiled, dyeing heaven and earth a grayish black, the demonic qi's Dao resonance devouring heaven and earth, shocking to behold.

Besides that, there were many Cloud Mist Army, driving countless cloud ships, all wielding Spiritual Weapons, their numbers extremely great!

These are all the elite forces of the Cloud Mist Army!

Soon, two terrifying armies descended not far from the Core Star Sea.

A sinister-looking old man slowly stepped forward, his visage ugly, his forehead high and protruding, his eye sockets deep-set, with two masses of black mist swirling in his eye sockets; he wore disheveled hair and a black robe, gazing ahead, letting out a grating 'jie jie' laugh.

This person is none other than the Demon Cloud Old Ancestor!

His entire body surged with demonic qi, and beneath his feet arose a mysterious Dao diagram—a ghostly face, with eerie ghostly qi.

The Demon Cloud Old Ancestor revealed his uneven teeth, gave a cold smile with a hint of provocation, saying, 'Spirit Martial Emperor, long time no see…'

Before he finished speaking, Yang Ling'er pointed her jade hand from afar and directly commanded, 'Kill!'
