Chapter 1425: Chapter 1178: Earth Soldier Guard Before the Taishang Sect
At the center of the Southern Continent, lies Qunyu Mountain, where the Leader of Ten Thousand Sects, Taishang Sect, resides.
On each Spirit Peak, King Level Spirit Venerables lead numerous disciples to activate the Star Veins.
The Dragon Veins roared fiercely, Star Power surged into the sky, countless Star Power like a reverse blue tide gathered towards the sky from various peaks, transformed through arrays into a misty Yin Yang Energy, enveloping the sky above Qunyu Mountain.
The attacks from the Demon Army continuously fell upon Qunyu Mountain, instantly causing streaks of black and white Mysterious Light formed by the Yin Yang Energy to shoot out and slaughter them.
No matter physical attack, energy impact, or spirit and soul type attack, all are decomposed and peeled away under the invisible, flickering black and white Mysterious Light, vanishing into the smallest dust between Heaven and Earth...
This is the Mountain Protection Array of Taishang Sect, arranged with the Yin Yang Mirror, the "Supreme Holy Artifact of Taishang Sect", as the Core Array Eye, forming the Nine-level Array — Two Forms Dust Array!
Even tens of thousands of demons find it difficult to break through this array.
Even a Demon King, entering without caution, would be shredded into dust by the separating Mysterious Light!
However, despite the array’s strength, it consumes significant energy; originally, Qunyu Sixteen Peaks, only eight peaks remain with Star Veins converging, while half of the Spirit Peaks have already been damaged due to Star Vein Overload.
On the main peak, Supreme Mysterious Peak.
The core strength of Taishang Sect has almost gathered here, Ye Xiaose, Li Wangge, Chen Xuan, Lin Emei, Yao Bing...
Besides, several Spirit Venerables who suffered backlash from the damaged Spirit Peak Star Veins, including formerly from Tai Shang Five Disciples, Dongfang Yi and Hao Lingyun, are also present.
At this moment, Eighth Stage Spirit Venerable Li Wangge looked at the demonic army’s offensive on Qunyu Mountain, with a sense of somber and worry in his eyes.
"There are still ten days until the two-month deadline, at this pace, we might not be able to hold on..."
Upon hearing Li Wangge’s words, most of the Taishang Sect cultivators around showed expressions filled with concern.
Among the many cultivators, Ye Xiaose slightly raised his head, his gaze as deep as the night sky, crossing the sky attacks to land on a certain place among the ten thousand demons.
There, a boy of about thirteen or fourteen quietly stood in the Void.
The boy wore coarse clothing, his skin was dark, his expression ordinary to the extreme, like a young farmer boy from a village.
The only noticeable thing was his pair of eyes, black pupils like deep space, barely seeable, with subtle flickers, seemingly encompassing the universe...
This dark-skinned boy was none other than the Earth Soldier Guard Commander leading the demon army’s attack on Taishang Sect — Xi Xing.
And behind Xi Xing were two others.
One, a dignified middle-aged man with a golden crown and yellow robe.
The other, a handsome young man with silver hair and eyebrows, his expression lazy, habitually squinting his slender phoenix eyes.
Their aura was deep and immeasurable, especially the dignified middle-aged man in yellow robes.
Sitting on the Yellow Jade carved Five Dragon King’s Throne, the occasional release of his overwhelming pressure made some other Demon Kings and the Demon Army nearby breathe heavily, their hearts unable to stay calm.
If not for standing (sitting) behind Xi Xing, people would assume this yellow-robed middle-aged man was the Earth Soldier Guard Commander!
These two were naturally the two Deputy Commanders of Earth Soldier Guard: Huang Tian and Chen.
On Supreme Mysterious Peak.
"If the Two Forms Dust Array doesn’t last until the time Emperor Xuan mentioned, we’ll inevitably have to engage in a fierce battle with these Otherworldly Demons." Li Wangge said.
Next to him, Lin Emei glanced at him coldly, saying, "The Beast Tribulation has arrived, Otherworldly Demons have come full force, Brother, Mo Fei, you still harbor hopes of bypassing the fight?"
Yao Bing’s eyes also showed some anger rising, and he snorted coldly, "Our Taishang Sect is the Leader of Ten Thousand Sects, the Otherworldly Demons dare intrude, they definitely cannot leave easily!"
Looking at the crowd of demons, Yao Bing couldn’t help but think about how previously, Ma Liang and other Blood Evil Sect Demon Cultivators came to challenge, repeatedly defeating Hao Lingyun, Dongfang Yi, and others, yet they could leave Taishang Sect unharmed.
This incident later spread throughout the Southern Continent’s Cultivation World, even exaggerated by storytellers, widely spread among the folk, making Taishang Sect lose great face!
Yao Bing secretly hated, knowing the result, he would have intervened by force to teach those Demon Cultivators a lesson!
Now, as things are, somewhat similar to before, to maintain the façade of Taishang Sect, cannot let these Otherworldly Demons have their way!
Li Wangge heard, turned back to look at the ten thousand sect disciples sitting cross-legged behind the Qunyu Mountain Gate, channeling Star Power into the great array, could only helplessly shake his head quietly.
If this battle indeed cannot be avoided, even King Level Spirit Venerables like us face uncertainty of life and death, the disciples throughout the sect, how many will survive...
Ye Xiaose suddenly spoke: "Junior Brother Chen, what do you think?"
Beside him, Chen Xuan, specializing in Supreme Sensing True Technique, opened his eyes, True Light blazing, his expression somewhat stern.
"Brother Ye, not to mention the other Demon Kings behind, just the three leading figures give me an extremely dangerous feeling.
Based on past experience, this can only mean... if a fight breaks out, confronting any one of them will not guarantee much victory for me."
All Spirit Venerables were surprised to look at Chen Xuan: "Brother, are you sure?"
It’s known that Chen Xuan is one of the sect’s three Eighth Stage, his strength definitely ranks top five.
Chen Xuan solemnly nodded, "That yellow-robed middle-aged man’s aura is extremely terrifying, with Strength up to Ninth Stage, when it comes to depth of Star Power, probably above Brother Ye.
The silver-haired youth next to him, his energy fluctuations are slightly weaker, only Eighth Stage.
As for the ’boy’ leading them, there’s no hint of aura coming from him, difficult to gauge, but being the leader undoubtedly means he’s not below the yellow-robed middle-aged man."
"Two Ninth Stage Great Demon Kings..."
Taishang Sect’s people heard, their expressions grew more solemn.
For many days, those three Great Demons at the front haven’t made any move.
Currently, as Chen Xuan described, the strength of those three likely exceeds the expectations of their own side.
Above the sky.
Xi Xing gazed at the black and white mysterious light protecting all of Qunyu Mountain and slowly said, "This array can be said to be the strongest defensive array I have ever seen. This Taishang Sect is truly the most powerful sect in this world."
Chen, smiling, continued the conversation, "According to the intelligence obtained from the captured Tai Shang Sect disciple earlier, this array is called the Two Forms Dust Array, which is the sect’s Mountain Protection Array."
Xi Xing said no more, quietly watching as the many Demon Kings of the Royal Court under his command led the Demon Army to continuously launch an assault on Qunyu Mountain.
Chen maintained a slightly smiling demeanor, without speaking further.
"Let me do it." At this moment, Huang Tian, who was seated on the Yellow Jade King’s Chair, slowly stood up, "We still haven’t broken this array, and we’re running out of time."
Xi Xing slightly nodded, "Okay."
Huang Tian spread his arms, looking up at the sky, and with a humming sound, an overwhelming and terrifying Star Power instantly enveloped half the sky!
Suddenly, some of the surrounding demons looked panicked, and like rain, they fell swiftly downwards!
Fortunately, not long after, Huang Tian withdrew his Star Power and sat back in his chair.
...
"That Yellow Robed Demon King has moved!"
On Supreme Mysterious Peak, Yao Bing frowned and suddenly spoke up.
Everyone looked up to see that indeed, Huang Tian had spread his Star Power. Even though it was far away and blocked by the array, they could vaguely glimpse the vast Star Power.
But until Huang Tian sat back in the chair, nothing seemed to have changed.
"It seems there’s no movement... Hmm? No, something’s wrong!!"
On Qunyu Mountain, the sky, initially covered by countless demons, suddenly grew much darker, as if something was blocking the sunlight.
Then, everyone saw the demon army that was rampaging above Qunyu Mountain retreat in panic in all directions.
As the demons scattered, a gigantic meteor, appearing as if breaking through the clouds, became visible, plummeting rapidly towards the summit of Qunyu Mountain!
"Heavenly Star Summoning!"
Huang Tian, who had sat back on the chair, slowly spoke.
Everyone on Qunyu Mountain’s eyes narrowed; such a meteor that could block out the sun was as large as a city. If it fell without obstruction, it could level most of Qunyu Mountain!
Ye Xiaose’s expression slightly tightened. Before the giant meteor fell, he clasped the Seal Technique with his hands and actively controlled the Yin Yang Mirror atop Supreme Mysterious Peak.
The black and white surface of the mirror spun, and as the Treasure Light rained down, it immediately reflected the rapidly descending massive meteor in the sky. Within the Two Forms Dust Array, the Yin Yang Energy churned violently, then transformed into a sky-piercing Black and White Mysterious Light that surged upward, frantically tearing apart the meteor.
Large cracks appeared on the giant meteor, which continuously crumbled, decomposed, and disappeared under the Black and White Mysterious Light... vanishing into the void.
Even a Ninth Stage Demon King’s Divine Skills could not remain unscathed under the Two Forms Dust Array.
But the issue was, this meteor was exceedingly large...
By the time the meteor landed in the Yin Yang Energy of the Dust Array atop Qunyu Mountain, half of its diameter still remained!
"Not good!"
With a loud bang, Spirit Light quaked, and the Star Veins streaming backward on the eight Spirit Peaks trembled incessantly.
On each of the Spirit Peaks, quite a few of the Taishang Sect disciples with slightly weaker strength spat out mouthfuls of fresh blood, and the Spirit Venerables responsible for mobilizing the Star Veins also slightly changed their expressions, fully mobilizing their Star Power to control the Dragon Vein.
"To summon an outer space meteor? What a horrifying strike, truly worthy of a Ninth-rank Great Demon King!"
On Supreme Mysterious Peak, all the Taishang Sect people were left with lingering fear.
Effortlessly calling forth an outer world star, such a technique was truly astonishing. Fortunately, Ye Xiaose took the initiative to control the Yin Yang Mirror, drastically reducing its formidable power to barely resist it.
Yet, Chen Xuan’s forehead sensed the True Light flickering, and his heart was still enveloped with a sense of foreboding.
"No! Why is the sky still so dark?"
Chen Xuan suddenly realized that the sky, initially darkened by the meteor, remained unchanged, becoming even more somber.
And in the next moment, high above, a dreadful meteor with a diameter twice that of the previous one pierced through the clouds, once again appearing in everyone’s eyes...
"Damn it!!"
The expression on everyone’s face within the Taishang Sect changed drastically.
Ye Xiaose’s expression was also solemn, able only to fully activate the Yin Yang Mirror to transform and eliminate the meteor with Black and White Mysterious Light...
"Boom!!"
In the blink of an eye, the gigantic meteor with a doubled diameter crashed into the top of Qunyu Mountain amidst the slaughtering of the Two Forms Dust Array.
The Yin Yang Energy that shrouded the entire Qunyu Mountain roiled violently, and the Star Veins’ torrents on the eight Spirit Peaks surged to an extreme.
"Puff puff puff...!"
Within the eight Spirit Peaks, thousands of disciples supporting the Star Power with Star Veins burst into flesh and became bloodied, fainting on the spot.
And on Jiyue Peak, the backwards flowing torrent of Star Veins abruptly shattered after a violent tremor, transforming into countless Star Rain that shot in all directions, losing Star Power in an instant and rapidly falling silent.
Shen Wang, the Fourth Stage Spirit Venerable guarding Jiyue Peak, spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood, his face instantly blanching like paper.
More than half of the disciples on the peak didn’t even have time to scream before they exploded into bloody mists in the trembling...
Even with the Great Formation’s protection, it was still a collapse of a peak’s Star Vein, with nearly a thousand disciples dying tragically!
This was the full-force strike of the Earth Soldier Guard Deputy Commander, the Ninth Stage Great Demon King, Huang Tian!
