Primordial Divine Emperor-Chapter 170 - 115: The Demon Sect Attacks, Tensions at a Boiling Point (Part 2)

Obviously, this massive attack launched by the Demon Sect is far more ferocious than any previous ones, and a fierce battle is inevitable.

Some of the new disciples, looking at the overwhelming number of Demon Sect disciples, felt their legs going weak, swallowing saliva non-stop.

"Everyone who can still fight, leave the city."

After a long moment of shock, countless sect leaders all ordered everyone to go out of the city to face the enemy.

Some new disciples turned pale upon hearing this.

"Senior Brother, why do we have to go out to meet the enemy? We have a Defense Array, wouldn’t it be better to fight guarding the Grand Array?"

Several new disciples of the Divine Sword Sect were also puzzled, wondering why they had to go out to fight when a Defense Array was set up, questioning the purpose of its deployment.

Hearing the questions from the new junior brothers and sisters, a senior brother from the Divine Sword Sect immediately explained.

"No matter how strong the Defense Array is, it cannot withstand a tidal wave of combined attacks, especially joint attacks from cultivators of the same realm as the Grand Array. The Defense Array laid down by the Hundred Sects Array Master might hold for some time but ultimately cannot be entirely relied upon."

"Moreover, there was an agreement within the Hundred Sects that all sect disciples, who are able to fight, must come out to battle when the Demon Sect strikes, leaving the Defense Array for those junior disciples and sisters who have lost their fighting ability."

"This is also a last-ditch effort, as if everyone cowers inside, once the Defense Array is breached, those junior brothers and sisters who have lost the ability to fight will be at the mercy of the enemy."

"Furthermore, if we hide within the Defense Array, it becomes easier to be surrounded, trapping us in a precarious situation."

After all, not only do they have Array Masters, but the Demon Sect does too. Once surrounded and the array is broken, everyone would find themselves encircled, and the situation would be even less optimistic.

More importantly, this rule can restrain the disciples of the Hundred Sects, ensuring that all sect disciples must fight with no other options left.

Otherwise, if any sect disciples choose to hide and preserve their strength, the entire front line would crumble instantly, and what awaits them is being defeated one by one, leading to complete annihilation.

The Hundred Sects are very pragmatic, no one will do anything without benefit, even joining forces against the Demon Sect requires mutual rules and constraints to prevent anyone from passively watching the battle from the sidelines.

As the disciples of the Hundred Sects gathered, not long after, they began to stream out from the ancient city like a vast sea, converging towards that area, advancing slowly.

Ye Xiaofan followed the countless senior brothers and sisters and the new disciples of the Divine Sword Sect, nervously going with the flow out of the ancient city.

However, once outside, looking around, it seemed that the disciples of the Hundred Sects were also numerous, so many that it was nerve-racking.

The eight hundred new disciples of the Divine Sword Sect were all crowding toward Ye Xiaofan, breathing heavily.

Amid the massive advance of disciples.

Ye Xiaofan turned to look at Jiang Changqing and others still standing atop the Border City, observing that almost all the cultivators below the Spiritual Essence Realm had poured out, while those of the Spiritual Essence Realm and True Self Realm remained motionless.

It was clear that their battlefield was not on the ground but in the void, as these disciples could battle in the air, determining the outcome high above, undoubtedly avoiding ground combat.

After all, if Spiritual Essence Realm and True Self Realm cultivators enter the Profound Sea Realm battlefield, it would undoubtedly be a massacre.

This wasn’t mercy from these higher realm cultivators but entering a chaotic battle would involve both sides’ prodigious talents and beauties.

Should they fight on the ground at that realm, they would inevitably risk harming their own junior brothers and sisters.

However, this isn’t absolute. Once a major battle starts, some high-realm cultivators inevitably may be driven into a frenzy, descending from the sky to the ground, by then, low-realm cultivators there would be in grave danger, likely suffering massive casualties in an instant.

As time passed.

At a certain moment. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

The prodigious disciples, like a vast ocean of elite talents from both sides, poured into that world, the scene was extremely spectacular, a terror beyond imagination.

Two immense oceans of disciples stretched as far as the eye could see, entering that domain.

As they drew nearer, the new disciples of the Hundred Sects were increasingly intimidated by the soaring murderous aura, engulfed in endless killing intent that hovered above, like Death itself gazing down, making their hair stand on end, the palms holding their weapons beginning to sweat.

At one point.

Shssss—!

Within the vast ocean of the Hundred Sects, the sound of clothing tearing continuously echoed.

Countless new disciples saw that innumerable senior brothers and sisters all tore off pieces of their robes, wrapping them around their weapons and hands, securing their brightly gleaming weapons tightly in their grasp.

"Senior Brother, what does this mean?" a new disciple asked with a puzzled look.

Faced with inquiries from these new junior brothers and sisters, someone explained: "To prevent weapons from slipping out of hand, it’s best you do the same, junior brothers."

Experienced senior brothers and sisters all understood that once their hands were stained with enemy blood, their weapons could slip from their hands, while wrapping them with cloth reduces the risk of losing grip.

Upon hearing this explanation, everyone began to follow suit, tearing their robes and wrapping them around their hands.

Time ticked by slowly.

Finally.

At a certain instant, when the disciples of the Hundred Sects and the Demon Sect were about a hundred steps apart, they stopped in unison, facing each other across the space, with killing intent filling the air.
