Ling Tian Sword God-Chapter 693 - 691: The Final Battle Begins_1

The cloud of war had completely engulfed Green Cloud Mountain.

All the passes around Green Cloud Mountain had been destroyed, and the army of the Divine Intent Sect had advanced to the foot of the mountain.

A dense horde of powerful individuals filled the entire area outside Green Cloud Mountain’s gates, a sea of people stretching as far as the eye could see.

Shentu Yan sat on the back of an Exotic Demon Beast, gazing down at Green Cloud Mountain below, a chill flickering in his eyes.

In Green Cloud Mountain’s eight directions, gigantic Stone Swords thrust into the sky. An intensely fierce aura emanated from these eight Stone Swords, supporting a colossal Bagua Pattern. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

So this is the Cyan Robe Association’s Bagua Mysterious Extreme Sword Array.

Shentu Yan squinted. He had heard the name of this Great Formation many times, but he had never witnessed the true power of this Sword Formation.

"The Bagua Mysterious Extreme Sword Array was arranged by the Cyan-robed Guest," Black Chonghou, riding a Flying Monster, said as he approached. "He is considered the most mysterious Expert in the Martial World. His skills are said to be profound and unfathomable, no less than Ling Tianyu, the Martial Arts Supreme of his time."

"Ling Tianyu?"

Upon hearing this name, Shentu Yan’s pupils contracted, his eyes abruptly turning frosty.

Back then, Ling Tianyu and I were both True Disciples of the Divine Intent Sect. However, I was the Sect’s Big Disciple, while Ling Tianyu was merely a latecomer. The position of Sect Leader should have rightfully been mine. But Ling Tianyu burst onto the scene, rising in the Martial World with astonishing talent, his fame spreading far and wide. Ultimately, my status as the Big Disciple was completely overshadowed by Ling Tianyu’s brilliance. Even the position of Divine Intent Sect Master, which should have been mine, was seized by Ling Tianyu. He enjoyed all the power and glory, while I became an obscure failure in the Darkness.

Since then, I vowed to reclaim everything that belonged to me from Ling Tianyu. After more than a decade of planning and scheming, I succeeded. I secretly colluded with Sikong Yi, forming an alliance with the Saint Witch Religion to strike from within and without. While Ling Tianyu was in seclusion, we launched a surprise attack on the Divine Intent Sect. This led to a drastic upheaval within the Sect, and we successfully pushed Ling Tianyu off a cliff. Then, Sikong Yi and I pinned all the blame on Liu Xiling. We spread rumors far and wide, making the entire Righteous Martial World believe Liu Xiling was the main culprit. Of course, I couldn’t have achieved this alone. At the time, I had allied with several Divine Intent Sect Elders who were dissatisfied with Ling Tianyu. I also joined forces with Sikong Yi, the Saint Witch Sect Master, and a group of Demon Cult Elders. Only by combining our strengths did we manage to severely injure Ling Tianyu during his seclusion. Even so, we didn’t manage to kill Ling Tianyu; we only injured him. Thus, Ling Tianyu became the only person I truly feared.

After taking control of the Divine Intent Sect, I sent assassins after Ling Chen, believing the task accomplished. Unexpectedly, Ling Chen not only survived but returned openly. This made me suspect Ling Tianyu was still alive and had saved Ling Chen. I feared Ling Tianyu would inevitably return to the Divine Intent Sect to reclaim the Sect Leader position from me. During that period, I experienced true terror for the first time. I barely paid Ling Chen any mind, focusing all my energy on Cultivation to prepare for Ling Tianyu’s potential return. As time passed and Ling Tianyu still hadn’t appeared, I gradually came to believe he must have succumbed to his severe injuries. Otherwise, why wouldn’t he have sought revenge?

Hearing Ling Tianyu’s name now still made him quite uncomfortable.

"I’d like to see if this Cyan-robed Guest truly lives up to his reputation!"

Shentu Yan’s eyes suddenly turned grim. He abruptly formed a hand seal. As True Qi surged in his palms, a black lightning spear instantly materialized, emitting an intensely tyrannical aura.

"What is Shentu Yan doing? Does he intend to break the formation?"

Within the Great Formation, all the powerful individuals who witnessed this turned rather pale.

Under Shentu Yan’s control, the lightning spear flared with an extremely dazzling radiance. Then, trailing a brilliant tail of light, it ruthlessly shot towards the Bagua Mysterious Extreme Sword Array.

BANG!

The lightning spear ruthlessly bombarded the Sword Formation, sending out dazzling sparks. At the moment of impact, the entire Great Formation trembled slightly. However, it only trembled; it wasn’t torn, nor did it even show signs of distortion.

Impressive. This Sword Formation certainly has some substance.

Shentu Yan’s expression darkened slightly. That attack wasn’t a mere probe; I used eighty percent of my strength, yet it didn’t stir this Array Formation in the slightest. This Cyan-robed Guest truly wasn’t someone with an undeserved reputation. But so what? The Cyan-robed Guest is long gone. If he himself were here, I might be somewhat wary. But this is just an Array Formation he left behind, a mere inanimate object. If I can’t even break this, wouldn’t I become a laughingstock? How could I then call myself a Martial World overlord?

"Relay my command! Begin the assault on the mountain!"

Shentu Yan retracted his hand and shouted the order to Black Chonghou, Yun Tianhe, and the others from the Dragon Demon Temple beside him.

"Yes!"

Black Chonghou and the other two respectfully cupped their fists. Then, they immediately used True Qi to transmit the command, "All listen to the order! Begin the attack on Green Cloud Mountain!"

"The Sect Leader has ordered! Begin the mountain assault!"

"Breach Green Cloud Mountain! Unite the entire Martial World!"

Three fierce shouts suddenly thundered through the mid-air, reverberating throughout the three-hundred-thousand-strong army.

A sound like a rushing tide suddenly arose—the clang and scrape of armor. Then, the dense army of powerful experts surged towards Green Cloud Mountain like a tidal wave.

"All experts of the Righteous and Devil Alliance, heed my command! Return to your positions! Those below the Great Master Realm are forbidden to engage!"

At the center of the Bagua Pattern, Liu Feiyue’s lovely face turned cold and stern. She tightly grasped the slender Treasure Sword in her hand, stomped her foot forcefully, and her clear, cold command echoed throughout Green Cloud Mountain.

By now, all forces in the Martial World opposing Shentu Yan had gathered here. The alliance they formed was just as Ling Chen had proposed: a cooperative union between the Righteous Path and the Demon Way, setting aside all past grievances.

This alliance was named the Righteous and Devil Alliance.

With Ling Chen absent, Liu Feiyue now commanded this Alliance.

"Yes!"

Countless shouts of assent echoed almost simultaneously. Then, from the vast mountain range, innumerable figures suddenly swept towards all directions of Green Cloud Mountain. Dazzling pillars of green energy shot into the Sky, forming rings of light. The Array Formation began to rotate, and a terrifying energy, almost like Continuous Life, brewed within.

"Azure Guards, heed the command! Form the Small Bagua Sword Formation and defend the center of the Great Formation!"

"Dark Market Assassins, heed the command! Form the Trinity Sword Formation and defend the south of the Great Formation!"

"Saint Witch Sect’s Demon Guards, heed the command! Form the Slaughter Sword Formation and defend the north of the Great Formation!"

"Long Family Blood Guard and Ye Family Shadow Guard, heed the command! Form the White Dragon Sword Array and defend the west of the Great Formation!"
