Chapter 257: Across Continents, the True Immortal Descends

At the border, dozens of immortal cities trembled in an instant.

They're here! They're here!

The Five Great Powers came with the force of thunder to exterminate the Qingyun Sect!

At this moment, vast numbers of immortals stood towering in the void.

Immortal beasts roared across the sky, endless huge immortal ships shuttled across continents.

The boundless immortal might surged straight into the heavens!

"My goodness! Are the Five Great Powers mobilizing their entire nest?"

"I think so. I don't know if the Qingyun Immortal Sect can survive this calamity; that's our Xianlan Continent's second biggest pride."

"Hard to say; the Five Great Powers have deep foundations, and united, any academy must temporarily avoid their edge."

"Moreover, this time they occupy the moral high ground; likely over half of the forces in the remaining five continents will side with them."

Outside a nearby immortal city, countless cultivators trembled as they gazed upon the dense allied army of the Five Great Powers in the void.

In that moment, none were left unmoved.

A large portion of cultivators began to worry, even to doubt.

Against such a powerful enemy, can the Qingyun Sect really hold out?

But soon a cultivator stepped forward to refute.

"Do we really understand the Qingyun Immortal Sect? Perhaps what we know is only the tip of the Qingyun iceberg."

"Think about it: in just a year, every major move of the Qingyun Sect has shocked the world, hasn't it?"

"Descending upon Immortal Clear City, they overwhelmed the great power Yun Family."

"Tens of thousands of immortal platforms built the Way, and terrifying omens frequently appeared."

"The revived True Immortal, the mighty Yuwen Immortal Ancestor bowed his head; our Overheaven Immortal Kingdom and their Immortal Clan subsequently submitted."

"The crucial point is that the Immortal Sect also has True Immortal giants in command—not just one, and they likewise control high-grade immortal treasures; you surely know this, right?"

The cultivator's words made all the doubters fall silent.

Yes, upon reflection, the Immortal Sect seems not to have much time left in the present age.

Yet every one of their major moves leaves people stunned.

"I agree with this fellow Daoist; the Overheaven Huang Family supports the Immortal Sect!"

"Me too; I'm a Zhao of the Yuming Immortal Kingdom, and the Zhao Family supports the Immortal Sect!"

When that cultivator finished speaking, instantly one call brought a hundred responses; many cultivators immediately declared they would forever stand with the Immortal Sect.

After this battle, the heavenly realm's powers will surely undergo a great reshuffle.

Qingyun will not fall, nor will we!

Qingyun is immortal, and we shall be immortal together.

Let us wait and see!

Seeing this scene of united effort, the cultivator who first stepped forward nodded in satisfaction.

He then stepped back behind the crowd, took out a token, and said, "Sect Master, I've completed the tasks you assigned; I'm now heading to the next location."

……

Elsewhere, within the borders of the Yuming Immortal Kingdom lies the Night Sword Immortal Sect.

Sect Master Ye Chen sighed, lowered the token in his hand.

"Senior, I can only help your sect this far."

A feeling of helplessness deeply entwined his heart.

Their Night Sword Immortal Sect's strongest is none other than him, the sect master.

He is merely at the second level of the Earth Immortal Realm; this strength is utterly useless in aiding his senior's sect.

So he devised another way, having the sect's people promote the might of Qingyun in the major cities of Azure Ancient, so they would all stand with Qingyun.

"Damn it! Why is our sect's cultivation progressing so slowly?"

"Hiss! My head hurts again!"

……

Outside the Qingyun Sect, countless immortals gathered.

"Alas, I told you, you don't need to act; hurry back."

Black Emperor stood outside the sect, shook his head, and spoke in a low voice.

The Five Great Powers? Just a few somewhat strong ants.

Is it worth mobilizing the masses?

Once the Sect Master's decree is issued, our Qingyun will have numerous True Immortal giants descend—wouldn't that crush them outright?

"Lord Black Emperor, the Yuwen Immortal Clan vows to defend the main sect to the death."

"If the great enemy does not retreat, we will not retreat; whoever wishes to attack the main sect must first step over our corpses!"

"The Yuwen Great Elder is right! Our Overheaven Immortal Kingdom, likewise a subordinate force of the Immortal Sect, now that the main sect is besieged, how could we not come?"

After Black Emperor finished speaking, the few figures at the forefront immediately spoke up loudly.

They were respectively the Empress of the Overheaven Immortal Kingdom, the Great Elder of the Yuwen Immortal Clan, and some high-ranking elders.

The many immortals that followed were the united army of the Immortal Kingdom and the Yuwen Immortal Clan.

Upon hearing this, Black Emperor gave a helpless smile and said no more.

One cannot very well have them come to guard their own sect and then drive them away.

It's merely estimated that they won't even get a chance to act, as the invading enemy will be annihilated.

"Report to Her Majesty the Empress! News from the front: the Five Great Powers have already reached the border!"

Just then, a hurried sound came from behind.

……

On the other side, at the border of the Immortal Wave Continent.

A massive herd of immortal beasts was speeding, and endless immortal ships shuttled at extreme speed.

At that moment, on the huge immortal ship in the middle, a hearty laugh rang out.

"Haha!"

"The people of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect are truly cowards; I originally feared them a bit, but now I see they are nothing but a bunch of cowards."

"We have recklessly stormed into the Immortal Wave Continent, and we haven't encountered any obstruction."

"It seems all the forces in the Heavenly Domain are now on our side."

Five figures with deep auras sat on the warship, speaking at length.

"Right, the Three Great Academies haven't made a move yet; it seems they really plan to strike last."

"How about the Yang Family? That old fox Yang Wudi also cannot be overlooked."

Divine Martial Immortal Sect Patriarch Han She pondered for a moment and then analyzed.

"The Yang Family? Let me tell you a shocking piece of news."

"The Yang Family was exterminated by a mysterious expert a few days ago! I, too, just learned the news."

Upon hearing this, the other four figures all changed expression, looking at him in shock.

"How can this be! Old Man Ao, is this news true or false?!"

Upon hearing that, the figure spoke again: "It should be true; this is the news sent by our sect's scout in the Heavenly Radiance Continent."

After the words fell, inside the huge immortal ship, even a dropped needle could be heard.

All five figures furrowed their brows tightly; how could the Yang Family sharing their name be wiped out just like that? Who did this!

Three Great Academies!

The five of them exchanged glances, and the same answer arose in their hearts.

Within Azure Ancient, besides their joint effort being able to destroy the panicked Yang Family, only the Three Great Academies could do it, right?

Moreover, they also had motive: first destroy the Yang Family, then wait for the Five Great Powers and the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect to suffer mutual losses, and then strike.

By then, the Azure Ancient Heavenly Domain would truly become their domain of one voice.

"Heh, they think too highly of themselves; they truly don't put our Five Great Powers in their eyes."

"After destroying Azure Cloud, obtaining the secret art, we'll first execute them!"

"Trample Azure Cloud! Destroy Azure Cloud!"

This time, the Five Great Powers mobilized, and the gaze of the entire Heavenly Domain gathered on the Immortal Wave Continent, simply because this unprecedented war's impact was truly enormous.

As time passed, the war clouds continually gathered.

"Roar!"

Just then, countless immortal beasts suddenly began to howl in the sky above, and the massive warship also came to a halt.

A figure on the main ship frowned, "What's going on!"

Then, several mighty pressures descended from the firmament.

"I, Lin Wenxian, Master of the Immortal Tower of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect, by the sect master's decree, will crush the invading enemies!"

"I, Li Qingyun, Patriarch of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect, by the sect master's decree, will crush the invading enemies!"

"I, Zi Han Yue, Heavenly Tower Elder of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect, by the sect master's decree, will crush the invading enemies!"

"I, Gu Chen, Sweeping Monk of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect, by the sect master's decree, will crush the invading enemies!"

"I, Virtuous Treasure Daoist of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect, by the sect master's decree, will crush the invading enemies!"
