Chapter 785: Three Quasi-Saints, The Final Trump Card
A rain of light fell across the sky; it was the aftermath of energy released after the great array collapsed.
The originally brilliant defensive light screen vanished completely, and the Core region of the Eternal Star Domain was fully exposed before the Lun Hui army.
The million-strong garrison of the Eternal Immortal Court watched this unbelievable scene, completely stunned.
The Nine-Layer Great Array—that was the pride of the Eternal Immortal Court, their final reliance.
Yet it didn't even hold for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense before turning to dust.
"The Heavenly Emperor... has been defeated..."
An Immortal General muttered to himself, eyes filled with despair.
If even the Nine-Layer Great Array could not stop them, what else did they have to resist?
The morale of the garrison plummeted to freezing point in an instant.
Many Immortals and gods began to whisper, questioning the decisions of the Eternal Heavenly Emperor.
"I said long ago we shouldn't have provoked the Lun Hui Supreme, and now look..."
"The army of one hundred thousand Immortals and gods is wiped out, and the Nine-Layer Great Array is broken; what do we have left to fight with?"
"The Eternal Heavenly Emperor is too arrogant; now he has dragged the entire Immortal Court down with him."
These murmurs reached Lingxiao Hall, making the atmosphere inside the hall even more oppressive.
Murong Tianji and other trusted ministers were as pale as paper.
They had never imagined that the defense the Eternal Immortal Court prided itself on would be so vulnerable.
One stick of incense, merely one stick of incense!
One hundred thousand years of hard work had vanished into thin air just like that.
The Eternal Heavenly Emperor stood on the roof of the hall, his entire body trembling.
It was unclear whether it was out of anger or fear.
He stared fixedly at Lin Xuan in the distance, a mad light flashing in his eyes.
"This Emperor still has a trump card! There are still three Supreme Elders!"
"The World-Extinguishing Plan has not yet been activated!"
But his voice no longer held its previous confidence.
With even the Nine-Layer Great Array broken, were the remaining trump cards truly useful?
Lin Xuan led his million-strong army in a direct charge, pointing straight at the Core of the Eternal Immortal Court—Lingxiao Hall.
Sima Xue and the other nine Empress Sovereigns followed closely behind, each of them wearing a calm smile.
They had absolute confidence in Lin Xuan.
The power of the Lun Hui Supreme far exceeded anyone's imagination.
"Your Majesty, do you need us to take action?"
Sima Xue asked via voice transmission.
Lin Xuan shook his head slightly: "Not for now; let them see the true might of Lun Hui."
"The Eternal Immortal Court is just the beginning; the entire Middle Plane is going to be reshuffled."
His words made the Empress Sovereigns even more excited.
It was their honor to be able to participate in such a grand conquest.
Spies from various forces monitoring all of this were so shocked they could not speak.
The Nine-Layer Great Array broken in the time of one stick of incense—no one would believe such a thing if told.
But it had truly and certainly happened.
The spies of the Heavenly God Court frantically transmitted the news back to headquarters.
After seeing the intelligence, the Heavenly God Emperor dropped the teacup in his hand directly to the ground.
"Immediately! At once!"
His voice had changed pitch.
"Check every single defensive array!"
"No, redesign them entirely!"
"We must never let the tragedy of the Eternal Immortal Court repeat itself!"
After seeing the news, the Blood Sea Demon Emperor wore a look of relief.
"It is fortunate that I did not wade into these muddy waters."
"The Eternal Heavenly Emperor is finished, completely finished."
The Elders of the Boundless Immortal Sect became even more determined to remain on the sidelines.
An existence of this level was not someone they could afford to provoke.
Just as the Lun Hui army was about to storm Lingxiao Hall, a heaven-shaking roar suddenly erupted from deep within the Eternal Star Domain.
The entire Middle Plane felt the fluctuations of some Seal being broken.
Immediately following, three terrifying auras erupted from the depths of the Void.
This pressure far exceeded that of ordinary Saints, causing the entire Middle Plane to tremble because of it.
The Void began to twist, and countless cracks spread out.
Three figures walked slowly out from the fissures.
The first was a white-haired old man, wearing a simple Daoist Robe.
With every step he took, the surrounding time and space would freeze for an instant.
Eternal laws circled his body, radiating an aura that had remained unchanged since ancient times.
This was one of the founders of the Eternal Immortal Court, the master of the Eternal Heavenly Emperor—the Eternal Dao Ancestor.
With cultivation at the peak of Quasi-Saint, he has mastered the purest laws of eternity.
It is said that he has already placed half a foot across the threshold of a Main God.
The second person is an old man in black robes with a gloomy expression.
Wherever he passes, all things perish, and even space begins to decay.
The laws of extinction overflow from his body, turning the surroundings into a dead zone.
This is the second Supreme Elder of the Eternal Immortal Court—Ancestor Extinction.
He is proficient in the Dao of destruction and extinction, capable of erasing all existence.
He once wiped out three mid-level plane factions single-handedly; his fierce reputation is renowned.
The third person looks the most benevolent, with kind eyebrows and pleasant eyes, possessing the bearing of an Immortal.
Yet the golden light surrounding his body makes one dare not underestimate him.
That is the power of faith condensed from countless living beings.
This is the third Supreme Elder of the Eternal Immortal Court—Immortal Venerable Immeasurable.
He controls the faith of billions of living beings throughout the entire Eternal Immortal Court.
These powers of faith make him nearly immortal and indestructible.
The auras of the three Quasi-Saints intertwine, forming a terrifying pressure that causes the heavens and earth to change color.
The advance of the Lun Hui army is forced to a halt.
Even Empress Sima Xue and the others reveal grave expressions on their faces.
A Quasi-Saint is an existence second only to a Main God.
Each one possesses the terrifying strength to turn their hands to create clouds and flip them to create rain.
And now, three Quasi-Saints have appeared simultaneously.
Seeing the three Supreme Elders, the garrison of the Eternal Immortal Court erupts instantly into thunderous cheers.
"Supreme Elders! It's the three Supreme Elders!"
"We are saved! We are saved!"
"With the three Supreme Elders joining forces, any Great Emperor Lun Hui is just a passing cloud!"
The morale, which had originally hit rock bottom, surges instantly.
Everyone believes they have seen hope, and seen a chance to turn the tables.
Inside Lingxiao Hall, the Eternal Heavenly Emperor trembles with excitement.
He rushes out of the hall and kneels before the Eternal Dao Ancestor.
"Master! You have finally come out of seclusion!"
The Eternal Heavenly Emperor's voice carries a sobbing tone.
"This disciple is incompetent, letting the Eternal Immortal Court fall into such a predicament."
"I implore the three Supreme Elders to take action and execute this madman!"
The Eternal Dao Ancestor glances at his disciple, a flash of disappointment crossing his eyes.
But now is not the time to assign blame.
He casts his gaze toward Lin Xuan in the distance, carefully sizing up this young man who has plunged the entire Eternal Immortal Court into crisis.
"You are that person who calls himself Great Emperor Lun Hui?"
The Eternal Dao Ancestor's voice is aged yet full of majesty.
"Young man, even if you have grasped some fur of the laws of Lun Hui, in front of a true Quasi-Saint, you are nothing but an ant."
His words carry an unquestionable confidence.
There is a world of difference between a Quasi-Saint and a Saint.
Even if Lin Xuan could defeat an army of one hundred thousand Immortals and gods, and could break the nine-fold array.
Those things count for nothing in the eyes of a Quasi-Saint.
Ancestor Extinction sneers: "I have been in seclusion for one hundred thousand years; I did not expect the first thing I do upon coming out is to deal with a junior."
"But since you are courting death, then I shall grant your wish."
The laws of extinction around his body begin to surge, and the Void begins to collapse under this power.
Immortal Venerable Immeasurable appears more peaceful, pressing his palms together.
"Amitabha, young man, if you retreat now, this old monk can take charge and let bygones be bygones."
"Why throw away your life for a moment of impulse?"
But the light flickering in his eyes exposes his true thoughts.
