Chapter 3183 Rushing to the battlefield

The emergence of another Immortal Emperor in the Xuantian Dao Sect is a cause for universal celebration.

to this end.

The Xuantian Dao Sect extended invitations to all directions.

Cultivators arrived from all three immortal realms.

As a result, powerful figures from neighboring immortal realms came to offer their congratulations.

Although these immortal realms are extremely wary of the Xuantian Dao Sect, when the Xuantian Dao Sect produces another Immortal Emperor, this wariness will turn into fear.

Therefore.

Even though these forces were unwilling, they dared not offend the Xuantian Dao Sect and instead had to show some goodwill.

In this regard.

Yang Daoxu greeted him with a smile.

After the Immortal Emperor's banquet ended.

The once bustling Xuantian Dao Sect has returned to calm.

In the sect's main hall.

Yang Daoxu, dressed in a purple Taoist robe, sat upright on the sect leader's throne.

Compared with the past.

After breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm, his aura became even stronger.

Looking at the Nine Peak Masters and many sect elders before him, Yang Daoxu smiled again.

As the power of the Xuantian Dao Sect grew stronger day by day.

As the sect leader.

In fact, Yang Daoxu was also under immense pressure.

It is naturally not easy for a half-step Immortal Emperor to govern an Immortal Emperor sect.

but.

Now he has broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

Such pressure then vanishes without a trace.

soon.

Yang Daoxu composed himself and looked at everyone, saying, "I have summoned you all here today because there are two matters to discuss!"

While talking.

With a thought, Yang Daoxu created a scene that appeared in the void above the main hall.

Everyone looked in that direction and saw a scorched earth where countless ferocious beasts and cultivators were engaged in a massacre.

"A demonic beast!"

Shen Changqing's expression shifted slightly.

Although he couldn't recognize which immortal realm the scene before him was, the appearance of the evil beast made Shen Changqing involuntarily think of the Northern Star Realm.

Just as the thought crossed his mind, Yang Daoxu's voice rang out.

"This is the Northern Star Domain. Several years ago, the ruins of an ancient sect appeared. Many forces stepped into it, but ended up getting trapped. Later, those cultivators transformed into these strange creatures."

As far as I know, these bizarre creatures are called Demonic Beasts…

A malevolent beast?

This statement came out.

Everyone looked at each other.

obviously.

The existence of evil beasts.

It was completely unfamiliar to them.

Yang Daoxu said, "The legend of the evil beast is that it was born from a terrifying being called 'Sui,' but I do not know what 'Sui' is."

However, the power of such beings is extremely terrifying and bizarre. Even after hundreds of millions of years, the remaining power of these beings can still cause even immortal emperors to fall into despair.

Now, the Northern Star Domain is overrun by evil beasts, and slaughter has spread throughout the entire Immortal Realm. Rumors even suggest that higher-level Immortal Realms have intervened.

However, it seems that the events in the Northern Star Region will not affect us for the time being, but we still need to be cautious!

High-level Immortal Realm!

This naturally refers to the top-ranked immortal realms.

Based on rankings.

The top 100 immortal domains can be called supreme, the top 200 immortal domains are top-tier immortal domains, the top 800 immortal domains are high-level immortal domains, the top 1,000 are mid-level immortal domains, and then there are low-level immortal domains.

Upon hearing that a high-level immortal realm had intervened, the expressions of the others also became somewhat solemn.

The fact that even a celestial realm like this could react is enough to demonstrate the terrifying nature of the evil beast.

Or rather.

It is the terrifying power of evil spirits.

"The second issue is the problem of the dark invasion!"

"For hundreds of thousands of years, numerous low-level immortal realms have formed a large alliance to fight against the dark army, but unfortunately the effect has been minimal."

The dark army that invaded Shenfeng Prefecture this time is not simple; it is very likely supported by a group of sufficiently powerful dark believers.

The Immortal Realm Allied Forces are now suffering repeated defeats, and over a hundred Immortal Realms have already fallen.

Hundreds of immortal realms have fallen!

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone's face changed.

"The fall of over a hundred immortal realms is a rare occurrence. Could it be that the other high-level immortal realms have taken no action?"

Mingxi's expression was somewhat grim. Although this dark tide had erupted in the lower-level immortal realms, if it was allowed to expand, it would eventually affect the middle-level immortal realms.

that time.

Even the Divine Heaven Domain will likely find it difficult to remain unscathed.

Yang Daoxu shook his head slightly: "For those high-level immortal realms, the life and death of low-level immortal realms are naturally of little concern."

They will only take action when our mid-level immortal realms fall.

But if it really comes to that, I'm afraid the very foundation and heritage of the Xuantian Dao Sect will crumble.

At that time, even the highest-level immortal realms would be of no concern to us!

Just like when the Dark Invasion first broke out, the Xuan Tian Dao Sect had no intention of intervening.

Unless they are truly threatened, the various immortal realm forces will naturally not waste their strength.

If lower-level immortal realms can resolve this on their own, that would naturally be the best outcome.

Just looking at it now.

The situation has developed in a much more severe and dire way than expected.

Although there are as many as eight hundred low-level immortal realms, only a few hundred thousand years have passed and more than a hundred immortal realms have already fallen, which shows how severe this invasion of darkness is.

If no countermeasures are taken, and things continue like this, it may not be long before all eight hundred low-level immortal realms fall.

at the moment.

The Divine Heaven Domain has seen a surge of cultivators from other immortal domains, causing some ripples. However, under the suppression of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, there has been no major disturbance.

but.

On the Qingming Domain side, however, there are quite a few troublesome issues.

After all, compared with other immortal realms, the Azure Nether Realm had suffered heavy losses in strength due to the massacre of most of its immortal cultivators.

It has only been a mere 300,000 years since the founding of the Azure Nether Holy Land.

Such a short time is far from enough for the Azure Nether Holy Land to recover its vitality.

Even with the support of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, the current strength and foundation of the Qingming Domain cannot be compared with that of hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Currently, many forces in the lower-level immortal realms have sensed the danger and are withdrawing in advance, flocking to other mid-level immortal realms.

Mid-level immortal domains like the Azure Nether Domain, whose strength has been greatly diminished, are naturally the first to be affected.

It is only with the support of the Xuantian Dao Sect that the Qingming Holy Land can barely maintain its dominant position; otherwise, the Qingming Holy Land would have been destroyed long ago.

Even so, the situation in the Azure Nether Domain became much more chaotic, and the Xuan Tian Dao Sect dispatched many cultivators to suppress it.

However, Yang Daoxu knew very well.

The situation has not yet reached its worst point.

When all eight hundred Immortal Realms have fallen, and a large number of low-level Immortal Realm cultivators head towards the mid-level Immortal Realms, that will be the time of true chaos.

Even if the strength of a mid-level Immortal Domain is formidable, so what? There are countless cultivators in the eight hundred Immortal Domains. Even if an Immortal Emperor were to take action, it would be impossible to slaughter them all.

What's more.

If it really comes to that...

The dark army is closing in.

The intermediate-level immortal realm is also on the verge of collapse.

Chu Junhe's expression was solemn: "What are the sect leader's plans?"

“Now that some forces have sought help from my Xuantian Dao Sect, I believe that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold, and I certainly cannot sit idly by and watch these immortal realms fall.”

However, the situation hasn't reached that point yet. The sects can intervene, but these forces will have to pay a price!

Yang Daoxu's words made everyone else nod in agreement.

There was a pause.

Yang Daoxu said, "One month from now, the Xuantian Dao Sect will send a group of cultivators to the battlefield in the lower-level immortal realms."

Although the dark army is coming on strong, no powerful figures at the Immortal Emperor level have appeared yet. Before they can truly understand all the details of the army, the sect cannot possibly use all its resources.

Furthermore—there are also many other immortal realms secretly eyeing our sect, plotting against us.

Therefore, powerful figures at the Immortal Emperor level should not be acted upon lightly for the time being.

The Celestial Emperor must not be acted upon lightly!

However, the forces of the Xuantian Dao Sect sent to the battlefield could not be too weak.

Thus.

That's rather intriguing.

half an hour.

Yang Daoxu's gaze fell on Mingxi, and he said, "This time, let Peak Master Ming lead the team!"

"Can!"

Mingxi nodded.

No one else was surprised by this.

Master of the Nine Peaks.

Mingxi's strength ranks among the top three.

Moreover, the other party is one of the most senior experts among the Nine Peaks. Although the other party has not stepped into the level of a half-step Immortal Emperor, he is still at the peak of the Ancient Immortal realm.

If it really comes down to a fight, even a half-step Immortal Emperor could put up a fight.

Despite the overwhelming force of the dark army, the Xuan Tian Dao Sect has more than enough combat power to lead them, with a half-step Immortal Emperor level expert.

After all.

This is not a matter concerning only the Xuantian Dao Sect.

The lower-level immortal realms were the first to be affected.

Other mid-level immortal realms will also intervene.

The Xuantian Dao Sect is just one of the many forces in the mid-level immortal realms, so it is impossible for it to really use all its resources.

If we were to actually do that, and something went wrong, the entire high-level combat force of the Xuantian Dao Sect would be wiped out, and the consequences would be absolutely not to be underestimated.

and so.

The fact that the peak master of this technique peak personally came forward was enough to demonstrate the attitude of the Xuantian Dao Sect.

soon.

That concludes the discussion on this matter.

The peak masters departed, each silently making preparations.

Although the expedition was led by the peak master of the Shu Peak, the other peaks could not possibly remain completely idle; naturally, they would prepare a group of cultivators to go to the battlefield.

……

On Danfeng Peak.

Shen Changqing summoned Ji Yang and others.

Currently, Danfeng is practically under Shen Changqing's absolute control, with the so-called higher-ups being disciples like Ji Yang.

As for the other elders, Danfeng is currently not in existence.

Because Danfeng was founded too recently, few of its disciples have yet been able to enter the Ancient Immortal Realm, making it difficult for them to advance to the position of elder.

Shen Changqing would not agree to allow other ancient immortals from various peaks to come to Danfeng to serve as elders.

The matter of Danfeng.

He did not want other peaks to get involved.

Those geniuses like Ji Yang, who were able to reach the pinnacle of the Ancient Immortal Realm in less than a million years, are qualified to be included in the sequence. It is impossible for them to give up their positions in the sequence for the sake of an elder's status.

So in this way.

In reality, Shen Changqing is the only person in charge of Danfeng.

The others were merely acting as disciples, managing affairs on behalf of others.

"The dark army has invaded, and the sect needs some cultivators to go to the battlefield. Although the sect is led by the peak master of the technique peak, someone from the pill peak also needs to go."

Of the group of you, who is willing to go?

As soon as Shen Changqing finished speaking, Ji Yang and the others exchanged glances and then stepped forward.

"Disciple is willing to go!"

The answers from the group were exactly what Shen Changqing had expected.

He glanced at the group of people, and finally his gaze settled on Gu Qingyang.

"Qingyang!"

"The disciple is here!"

"You will be in charge of this trip, and you can also take a group of Danfeng disciples with you!"

"Disciple obey!"

Gu Qingyang bowed and accepted the order.

He had been in seclusion at Danfeng for many years, and now that he had a chance to make a move, he naturally had no resistance.

Gu Qingyang was particularly familiar with the Dark Army.

The turmoil in the underworld back then was caused by the Dark Lord.

Gu Qingyang also had ample experience in dealing with these dark armies.

same.

Shen Changqing sent Gu Qingyang with this in mind.

In addition-

Although Gu Qingyang's cultivation level was not the highest in Danfeng, he was the strongest among all the disciples.

With the other party personally leading the Danfeng disciples there, at least we can guarantee that there won't be any problems.

Even if the Dark Immortal Emperor were to intervene, Gu Qingyang would still have the strength to fight.

Nine immortal swords in hand.

The opponent's combat strength can no longer be measured by realm.

Seeing that Shen Changqing had Gu Qingyang lead the team, the others were somewhat disappointed, but had no objections.

……

A month later.

With Shu Feng at the forefront.

Each peak of the Xuantian Dao Sect sent 10,000 people, totaling 100,000 cultivators, to the battlefield.

The reason it's 100,000 people is because it includes the peak of crime.

In the past, Sin Peak was not qualified to participate in sect council meetings, but in the event of any war, Sin Peak could hardly remain uninvolved.

after all.

Cultivators of the Sinful Peak are inherently burdened with sin.

The Xuantian Dao Sect spared the lives of these sinful peak cultivators only so that they would serve the sect.

If not.

The Xuantian Dao Sect would not support a group of cultivators for nothing. Even if they did not need to be provided with many resources, the immortal energy they absorbed for cultivation would still be a considerable expense.

While the Xuantian Dao Sect was sending out its troops, other sects in the Shentian Domain also dispatched their own armies of cultivators to the battlefields of the lower-level immortal domains.

Numerous forces, large and small, have come together, forming an army of millions.

however.

These are just cultivators from the Divine Heaven Domain.

The same approach applies to other intermediate-level immortal realms.

As the army rushed to the battlefield.

The pressure on the lower-level immortal realms decreased sharply.

……

"boom!"

The army surged forward, and a battle suddenly broke out. The Cangyun Immortal Sect's protective formation rose up, but it only held out for a short while before shattering.

"kill!"

"The day is the day to defend our sect!"

"How dare you beasts act so presumptuously in the territory of my Cangyun Immortal Sect!"

Within the Cangyun Immortal Sect, one after another, ancient immortal powerhouses emerged and charged towards the direction of the dark army.

Disciples from other sects also fought to the death.

As soon as the two sides clashed, blood splattered everywhere, and countless cultivators perished on the spot in that instant.

"boom!"

A figure in a black Taoist robe stepped out of the void, and with a flick of his right sleeve, a celestial sword shot out like a dragon, instantly killing a dark ancient immortal on the spot.

"The sect leader has made a move!"

"kill!!!"

The cultivators of the Cangyun Immortal Sect were all invigorated by the scene before them.

Only Qingyunzi, the sect leader, had an unusually solemn expression. Even though he was the first to kill a Dark Ancient Immortal, he felt no joy at all.

The dark army before them stretched as far as the eye could see, completely surrounding the Cangyun Immortal Sect and leaving no way out.

at this time.

Several terrifying auras suddenly appeared and attacked Qingyunzi directly.

The latter's expression changed slightly, and the sword in his hand shone with sword energy. The magnificent sword intent suppressed the void, and the terrifying sword energy surged forth with astonishing power.

But in the next instant, a dark, eerie light pierced through the void and collided with the sword energy, both instantly annihilated.

Followed by.

Several figures appeared around Qingyunzi, blocking all his escape routes.

The leading ancient dark immortal had a cold and stern expression on his face, and his eyes were full of indifference when he looked at Qingyunzi.

"It is not important that the Cangyun Immortal Sect has survived to this day. I believe Fellow Daoist Qingyun does not want to watch the Cangyun Immortal Sect perish. Now, as long as you are willing to lead the entire sect to believe in the Dark Lord, you will have a chance to live!"

"Hmph, the Cangyun Immortal Sect has been established for billions of years, how could we bow down to you evil demons!"

Qingyunzi's expression was resolute. Before he could finish speaking, he had already taken the initiative to attack the dark ancient immortal in front of him.

Upon seeing this, the latter shook his head slightly.

"Stubborn!"

In an instant.

He struck first despite being late, unleashing a palm strike with terrifying, abyssal power that shook the void.

So powerful.

This made Qingyunzi pause in his breathing, but he still drew his sword and attacked.

Just as this Dark Ancient Immortal made his move, the other Dark Ancient Immortals also attacked simultaneously.

"boom--"

In no time at all, Qingyunzi was forced into a retreat, coughing up blood, and was completely at a disadvantage.

Such situations.

This caused many cultivators of the Cangyun Immortal Sect to show expressions of despair.

Qingyunzi was the strongest expert of the Cangyun Immortal Sect. Now that even the sect leader has fallen into such a state, it is difficult for others to see any hope.

"Pfft!"

When Qingyunzi was struck by the Dark Ancient Immortal once again, he was severely injured. His crown shattered, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes turned somewhat bloodshot.

"Even if I die today, I will make you pay the price—"

That moment.

Qingyunzi had already burned his essence, blood, and soul to make his weakened strength surge again, and in an instant he had returned to his peak state.

The other ancient dark immortals, though their eyes remained indifferent, showed some change in expression.

A top-tier ancient immortal fighting to the death is definitely not to be underestimated.

But right now.

Nine beams of immortal light descended from the heavens, their terrifying killing power sweeping across the battlefield, causing the expressions of the several ancient dark immortals to change drastically.

"Be careful--"

Just as they were about to defend themselves, nine beams of immortal light arrived before them—nine immortal swords radiating a chilling, terrifying light.

The celestial sword was sharp and unstoppable, easily breaking through the protective immortal aura, and then piercing through the bodies of several dark ancient immortals, pinning them directly to the void.

next interest.

Sword energy erupted.

The ancient immortal's body exploded with a bang, utterly annihilated.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. By the time Qingyunzi reacted, he saw that all the dark ancient immortals who had been attacking him had perished and died.

at this time.

Then a young man in green robes appeared, stepping through the air. Nine immortal swords surrounded him, and terrifying sword energy surged forth. The sheer power of the swords made Qingyunzi's face turn pale with shock.

But soon, Qingyunzi realized what was happening and cupped his hands in greeting to the newcomer.

"This humble Taoist, Qingyunzi, thanks you for your help, fellow Daoist. May I ask your name?"

"Gu Qingyang of the Xuantian Dao Sect!"

Gu Qingyang uttered a few words and then charged directly into the battlefield. Nine immortal swords moved with ease, crisscrossing the battlefield. Even ancient immortals could not withstand a single blow and perished on the spot.

This scene.

This undoubtedly shocked everyone from the Cangyun Immortal Sect who were engaged in a bloody battle. (End of Chapter)
