This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 897 - 687: Bloodlines in Conflict
When Xia Kun took the lead at the forefront, indicating the involvement of peak power experts, the other Ninth Realm peak cultivators from the Abyss no longer hesitated, directly stepping into the battle.
After attempting to breach Zen's Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas, which proved unbreakable for the time being, the Ninth Realm peak Abyss cultivators clearly set their sights on the Daoist Practitioners hiding at the end of the battlefront within the Complete Heaven Sect.
The exchange is equal; before reaching a certain realm, the powerful Daoist skills and extreme distance always require some compromise.
Besides Yue Bai's ancient, famous Daoist torrent from the Qingqiu Nine Tails Clan, the Ninth Realm Daoist Practitioners of the Complete Heaven Sect are only a handful in number, with even the strongest merely reaching Ninth Realm peak, while the others have just stepped into the Ninth Realm.
He Zhiqing strategized at the center, continuously mobilizing various forces like placing chess pieces, gradually consuming the Abyss Army.
Meanwhile, Yu Gejing, as an Array Dao Master, effortlessly created arrays in the Void, not only converting the Abyss cultivators' formations but also continually deploying new arrays, protecting He Zhiqing and simultaneously crushing a large number of Abyss cultivators.
On the Complete Heaven Sect's side, despite the significant threat of Daoist skills, the scarcity of individuals like Yue Bai made it almost impossible to dominate the entire war's progression.
Yet, following those few individuals is almost the entire Complete Heaven Sect's Daoist Practitioners, whose collective power is formidable! They effortlessly halted the Abyss Army's advance, pushing the battlefront forward hundreds of miles under the illumination of starlight and Daoist skills.
In ordinary times, the power of these Daoist skills might be considered average, but now on the battlefield, the threat level of large-scale destructive Daoist skills has increased several hundred times.
Moreover, due to their same sect origin, when the disciples of the Complete Heaven Sect collectively activated the Great Formation to unleash Daoist skills, the power was not simply cumulative, but increased geometrically! Even Liang Yi couldn't help but look over frequently, surprised by how fierce this group of nerds from the Complete Heaven Sect proved to be.
Besides the Complete Heaven Sect, several first-grade forces were also adept at Daoist skills; however, they lacked the Complete Heaven Sect's unrivaled Great Formation, and could only follow behind Yue Bai, attacking wherever Yue Bai directed them, enjoying the battle heartily.
Regarding killing power, Sword Cultivators rank first—invincible within arm's reach belongs to Body Cultivation—but when it comes to warfare capacity, Daoist Practitioners find themselves overshadowed by the present company.
Due to the remarkable performance of the Complete Heaven Sect and Yue Bai, they drew the attention of top experts from the Abyss, who decided to spare no effort in breaking the opponents' blockades and removing Yue Bai along with the Complete Heaven Sect's Daoist Practitioners.
As the peak Ninth Realm and Great Perfection experts of the Abyss moved, the Mystical Mechanism side naturally detected this; the Four Imperial Overseers of Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty appeared one after another, the Supreme Elder of the Blood Control Sect swung his blade, those unrivaled Great Demons from the Ten Thousand Miles Mountain swept across the world with their wings, and the Zen Arhat, with precepts stick and Vajra pestle in hand, directly smashed towards the intruders.
It was precisely at this moment that the top experts from both sides began to intervene, marking the end of probing and the true beginning of the war.
Above the Abyss Army's cloud cover, a vast shadow slowly floated over the clouds, where countless powerful auras converged; among them, the most prominent were three figures whose mere unconscious aura almost brought space to a standstill.
This shadow is Gongsun Bai'an's floating island, now carrying everyone as they observe the warfare progressing beneath the sea of clouds. Naturally, standing at the forefront are Gongsun Bai'an, Qiu Feng, and Zuo Yongning.
"My lord, the bombardment of Daoist skills opposite is terrifying; the battlefront has been pushed back three hundred miles, and Lord Xia Kun is directly confronting the Xuanzhou Immortal Emperor and Bodhi Zen Master, currently under their suppression, clearly at a disadvantage." A streak of light landed on the floating island; a panting Abyss cultivator nervously reported intelligence to the three Abyss Envoys.
These messages are not particularly good news; he was genuinely afraid the Envoys would be displeased and erupt in anger against them.
"That foolhardy brute!" Qiu Feng snorted upon hearing the news, expressing a hint of vexation and impatience, considering Xia Kun utterly foolish, thinking about nothing but muscle.
"Though deviating somewhat from the plan, overall, it's not too far askew." Gongsun Bai'an was accustomed to it; expecting a hot-tempered Body Cultivator to calmly follow plans is akin to expecting a sow to climb trees.
"How goes the preparation for the Great Formation?" Gongsun Bai'an withdrew his gaze from the battlefield, glancing at Zuo Yongning, who had been unusually silent.
"There are too many people; it requires additional time to expand some formations." Zuo Yongning's eyes flashed with ghostly fire underneath the hood, speaking hoarsely.
"No matter, in this situation, Mystical Mechanism is more anxious than us. Issue orders, let them proceed another five hundred miles, no need for deliberate intent." Gongsun Bai'an shook the fan in his hand, his gaze penetrating the clouds onto that extraordinary figure from the Mystical Mechanism battlefront, with a floating conception.
That figure seemed to perceive something, raising an eye and looking back towards Gongsun Bai'an, cheerfully flashing a grin, mouthing words.
"Hmph, let's see how long you can remain so proud." Gongsun Bai'an snapped shut his folding fan with a "clap," his expression gloomy and muttering angrily.
Chen Hua mouthed simply; just one word: Get lost.
"Although we intend to reduce the number, this pace is somewhat rapid; you two should rein it in."
Qiu Feng examined Yue Bai mingled below with the disciples of the Complete Heaven Sect, observing the seemingly endless Spiritual Power expenditure, the Daoist torrent without repetition, over an hour, and pondered briefly, pointing at Yue Bai's figure from a distance, instructing the two behind him.
"Yes!"
The two figures behind Qiu Feng emerged from the shadow; one was Tai Chu Sect's Zhao Tianming, who had previously crossed paths with Zhou Yuzhi on the battlefield.
Zhao Tianming, still wearing an ancient Daoist robe, hands hidden under long sleeves, eyes tightly shut, surrounded by three rings at his back.
Heaven's Dao, Earth's Dao, People's Dao; once equaled with Qingqiu Clan's Daoist torrent as the pinnacle of Daoist skill.
But this time, Zhao Tianming's aura was noticeably weaker, due to the sword mark almost piercing his chest.
Sword Intent soaring to the sky, drifting amongst floating clouds.
The sword of Zhou Yuzhi then was not easy to intercept, and while Zhao Tianming did not fall, Zhou Yuzhi seized the chance to close in, slashing him, wounding him seriously, forcing returns to the Abyss.
Besides Zhao Tianming stood another shadow, a youth with a strange, handsome visage, clad in green robes, chest bare, displaying a roguish, unfettered demeanor with nine tails waving behind him!
Qingqiu Lineage!
"Qingqiu Lingyou, what are your thoughts seeing your bloodline? Ha!"
Gongsun Bai'an glanced mockingly at the former Qingqiu ruler, laughing aloud after a teasing remark.
Back then, Qingqiu Lingyou, like the current Qingqiu Yuebai, single-handedly wielded Daoist torrents that barred their Abyss Army outside Qingqiu Valley for three days and nights.
However, ultimately wounded by an Abyss Envoy, feebly breathing, taken to the Abyss, slowly eroded by Abyss Demon Qi.
Qingqiu Lingyou remained indifferent, his expression unemotional, as if unheard.
"Go on, enjoy the Qingqiu lineage's self-destructive conflict." Gongsun Bai'an muttered sinisterly, his eyes flashing with chilling gleams of pleasure.
Tai Chu Sect's Zhao Tianming and Qingqiu Lineage's Qingqiu Lingyou disappeared with a blink from the floating island and appeared amid the battlefield.
