Chapter 1608: Damn thing actually launched a sneak attack!

Buzz buzz buzz!

A mysterious power of time surged suddenly between heaven and earth.

Everyone was stunned.

A rich gu creature aura poured down from the firmament.

Instantly, numerous powerhouses of the Abyss Lineage were stirred.

Black Rock Elder rose at once, his divine sense reaching out to gaze into the depths of the void, and he sneered, "What is this? I never expected that, instead of us striking first, the Eternal Life Sect would launch a sneak attack on us!"

Boom boom boom!

Within the Strange Clan's encampment, each Dao Realization Realm elder rose slowly, their faces grim.

Only the Xuanji Holy Lord's peerless visage bloomed with a smile in the darkness, her beautiful eyes gazing into the void.

That aura……was the aura of the Summer-Winter Cicada.

It came to find Junior Sister Fang Yuan!

"So… the Master has come." The Xuanji Holy Lord felt a hint of warmth in her heart.

Now the Strange Clan and the Eternal Life Sect both dominate this place, each waiting for an opportunity to launch a great war.

It is clear that the Master intends to directly ignite this spark, to start the war!

The next instant.

Boom!

Crack!

Space tore open directly.

The Eleven Transformations Summer-Winter Cicada flew out from the void rift and hovered above the Strange Clan's encampment.

At first it was only the size of a fingernail, yet it shone brightly; in the Strange Clan's endless night, it glowed like a bean sprout.

But soon the Summer-Winter Cicada's body expanded, becoming wheel‑sized, then mountain‑range‑sized, and finally turned into a colossal figure that illuminated heaven and earth.

Within the Strange Clan's encampment, a blazing sun suddenly rose.

Black Rock Elder's face grew grim: "Damn! It's actually an Eleven Transformations gu creature! Mo Gu, you damn thing, you actually pulled a sneak attack!"

The Summer-Winter Cicada's body was like a small mountain; its wings fluttered, the Time Dao Resonance surged, its bite flashed with cold light like a peerless divine weapon.

The next instant.

The Summer-Winter Cicada dove straight down.

Hiss hiss hiss!

Merely by flapping its wings, the Time Killing Intent surged like a vast sea.

A vast swath of Dao Lord Realm cultivators were stained by the power of time; their strange power began to wither and age.

Their bodies began to rupture!

Everyone was shocked as this gu creature began to refine the Strange Clan's lifespans!

"Stop it!"

Elder Mo Gu roared, and many Dao Realization Realm elders shot into the sky.

This is an Eleven Transformations gu creature; against it, Dao Lord Realm cultivators can only be instantly slain!

Several figures of the Abyss Lineage stepped into the void, manifesting their Dharma Aspects; waves of Strange Dao Resonance flowed forth, forming Abyss visions that tore heaven and earth, ravines spreading everywhere.

Within the Abyss, numerous terrifying visions appeared; that power was immensely overbearing, seeking to drag the Summer-Winter Cicada into the Abyss.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The Summer-Winter Cicada flapped its wings, freezing time for an instant.

From its bite it spat forth rays of cold light, slashing at several Abyss Lineage powerhouses.

With a boom, the Low Star Dao Realization Realm cultivators could not resist and were instantly suppressed!

Black blood spurted!

When time flowed again, several Dao Realization Realm corpses fell straight into the void.

Meanwhile, the Nether Pulse powerhouses also acted.

Between heaven and earth, dozens of towering black spirit woods sprang up, like advancing giants; their stout branches resembled black divine dragons wandering the world.

They lunged to seize the Summer-Winter Cicada!

The Summer-Winter Cicada's body flickered, constantly shifting through the void, its bite continually slicing out cold light.

The black spirit woods exploded, some severed at the waist, others split into five pieces.

But then, powerhouses of other lineages also acted.

The Corroding Pulse powerhouses snorted, flicked their sleeves, and rolled out gray matter like a locust plague, pouring down from heaven to earth; wherever it passed, the Summer-Winter Cicada's fierce Divine Light grew dim.

"What does it matter if it's an Eleven Transformations gu creature? If they dare sneak‑attack us, they must die!"

A roar rose.

In another direction, the vast Soul Sea surged, wave after wave, crashing forward, trying to drag the Summer-Winter Cicada into it.

Soon, from all sides, myriad Strange Dao Resonances intertwined, sketching a heavenly net to seal the Summer-Winter Cicada.

Hiss!

The Summer-Winter Cicada had already grown a hint of spirituality.

Its power was not yet invincible enough to clash head‑on with so many Strange Clan powerhouses.

It fluttered its wings toward the Xuanji Holy Lord, wanting to greet her before returning to its master's side.

But this act made Black Rock Elder and the others cry out in alarm.

"Protect Ming!"

Know that Ming is now their hope.

The various pulses of the Gui tribe in the outside world also learned of Ming's existence, listing her as a monster; once the affairs in the Azure Cloud Star Sea are settled, they will join a stronger stronghold.

Only then will it be the time for Ming to burst forth with light.

Ming must absolutely not come to any harm!

Moreover, in this confrontation with the Longevity Sect, they have not acted because they have already notified Elder Canmie and the others.

They are waiting for outside reinforcements!

But they never expected the Longevity Sect to dare launch a sneak attack!

As the Summer-Winter Cicada swept past, those Dao Lord Realm cultivators were continuously slain.

The corpses turned directly to dust, scattering with the wind.

"Boom—boom—boom!"

Numerous Dao Solid Realm cultivators shot up into the sky, moving to stand before the Xuanji Holy Lord to block the Summer-Winter Cicada.

Seeing that it could not approach, the Summer-Winter Cicada sensed a wave emanating from the Xuanji Holy Lord, then flapped its wings and flew toward Fang Yuan.

On the battlefield, no one from the Gui tribe dared to intercept!

Elder Heiyan and the others looked at the dead Gui tribesmen, their faces turning savage, the long hair on their bodies fluttering in the void's gale as he gazed toward Elder Mogu and spoke fiercely.

"Mogu! You're courting death! How dare you sneak attack us!"

Elder Mogu and the others looked bewildered, "This Summer-Winter Cicada wasn't summoned by me!"

They also didn't know what was happening?

There is no Summer-Winter Cicada in the Azure Cloud Star Sea!

You should know the Summer-Winter Cicada is a legendary gu creature; it just unleashed the divine ability of Freezing Time, and if it continues to break through, it can draw water from the River of Time, even freeze the River of Time—exceedingly heaven-defying.

"You're full of shit!"

Elder Heiyan, Elder Heihun, and the others shouted angrily, "If you want war, then war it is!"

Hum—hum—hum!

The Summer-Winter Cicada flew toward the stronghold of the Longevity Sect.

Numerous ancients, members of the Soaring Heavens Sword Sect, and the Zheng Family were all shocked, "Is this Summer-Winter Cicada theirs?"

Only Yang Xuan was in the crowd, his lips involuntarily curling up as he said, "Master has come."

This Summer-Winter Cicada has actually broken through to the Eleven Transformations!

It must have been arranged long ago by Master's hand!

Soon, the Summer-Winter Cicada flew to the top of Fang Yuan's head, happily flapping its wings; a stream of the River of Time's Dao Resonance trickled forth, producing the sound of Qing Quan flowing over stone.

Fang Yuan gently extended her jade hand; the Summer-Winter Cicada shrank down to the size of a fingernail, landing in her palm.

She gently stroked the Summer-Winter Cicada.

Elder Mogu and the others were stunned, "Ningbing, this…"

Fang Yuan said, "This Summer-Winter Cicada is my gu creature."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

On the other side, Elder Heiyan, Elder Heihun, and the others flew into a rage, "Mogu! You damned thing, putting on a double act here! If you want war, then war it is! All pulses, hear my command—begin battle!"
