After a while, the tens of thousands of magical artifacts mobilized by the tens of thousands of disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect had already seen a full twenty thousand shattered by the powerful Immortal Technique of the Sixth-Grade Earth Immortal, Five Elements Wanderer! The once sky-covering, mighty host of tens of thousands of magical artifacts had now been reduced by nearly half, their power naturally no longer as formidable as before.

Crucially, the number of magical artifacts attacking the Sixth-Grade Earth Immortal Five Elements Wanderer had drastically reduced. As a result, nearly half of the over one hundred thousand strands from the Silver Jade Duster he wielded began to assault the Sect Protection Array of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect!

Several hundred Earth Immortals, along with a powerful late-stage Sixth-Grade Earth Immortal, launched a full-force assault. The Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's Sect Protection Array was powered by the True Essence of tens of thousands of disciples and the Immortal Yuan from dozens of Spirit Peaks. Despite this, the array hubs bearing this immense power began to falter.

Soon, a Spirit Peak on the western side of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's headquarters suddenly erupted with a deafening explosion. The array hub atop this Spirit Peak shattered into millions of pieces. The hundreds of disciples who had been powering it were instantly imperiled. The destructive force of the array hub explosion was something that even Earth Immortals could not withstand, let alone these Ninth-Layer Perfection Immortal Sect disciples!

In an instant, those hundreds of Ninth-Layer Perfection disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect were completely annihilated in the terrifying explosion, their bodies and Divine Souls vanishing entirely.

Many Earth Immortals and tens of thousands of disciples standing on the Thirty-Sixth Spirit Peak of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect heard the explosion and looked towards that Spirit Peak. Subsequently, the faces of these Earth Immortals and disciples displayed extreme anger.

The Sect Protection Array of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, with its thirty-six array hubs, was left behind by the Sect Founder and had protected the entire sect for tens of thousands of years. In these vast expanses of time, the array hubs of the Sect Protection Array had never been destroyed. The existence of these array hubs was equivalent to the honor of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. After all, few of the other eleven Immortal Sects in the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty possessed such a powerful Sect Protection Array. It was capable of withstanding the attacks of a Sixth-Grade Earth Immortal and several hundred Earth Immortals! This Sect Protection Array, these thirty-six array hubs, were the pride of every Earth Immortal and disciple of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect.

However, at this moment, right before their eyes, these several hundred shameless Earth Immortals forcibly destroyed one of the array hubs of the Sect Protection Array. This scene was akin to those several hundred Earth Immortals landing a loud, vicious slap on the faces of every Earth Immortal and disciple of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. How could they not seethe with anger?

"Hahaha, fellow daoists! The Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's Sect Protection Array has already shattered its first array hub! Their Sect Protection Array will only grow weaker. Victory is at hand! The Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts are at hand! The clear skies of the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty are at hand!" The Sixth-Grade Earth Immortal Five Elements Wanderer, his face filled with smugness, pushed his Immortal Yuan even more fiercely.

Those several hundred Earth Immortals had been growing anxious. They had attacked for nearly a hundred breaths without seeing much weakening of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's Sect Protection Array. Upon witnessing this scene, however, they became as excited as if injected with adrenaline. They frantically and fervently drove their magical artifacts and Immortal Artifacts with even greater intensity!

「Thousands of miles away,」

The ten-plus Earth Immortals watching from afar had a hint of anger in their eyes, yet a sense of helplessness in their hearts.

Wine Immortal Chi Liuxia shook his head, tapped the Flying Wine Gourd he was sitting on, and sighed, "It seems us old folks should retreat as well! It's not that we disregard our friendships with Sui He, Qing He, and Cang He, but we really have no other choice!"

The Third-Grade Earth Immortal Guo Haishan, with some hatred in his eyes, looked at the towering Sixth-Grade Earth Immortal Five Elements Wanderer thousands of miles away. "The Celestial Demon Hide Immortal Transformation Talisman of the Five Elements Immortal Sect is said to be usable only twelve times! In the past, when the Five Elements Immortal Sect adhered to righteous principles, this Immortal Transformation Talisman was always used in battles against the Profound Yin Demon Sect or the Great Demons of the Boundaryless Mountain. To think that this time it would be used against the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect! It is utterly shameless, utterly hateful! If all the Immortal Sects in the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty acted like the Five Elements Immortal Sect, Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, and Profound Pure Immortal Sect, the Profound Yin Demon Sect and the Great Demons of the Boundaryless Mountain would soon return with a vengeance. This would bring catastrophe to the entire Western Region, leading to the downfall of many immortals!"

Wine Immortal Chi Liuxia sighed, exhaling a breath carrying the scent of wine. "Not necessarily! Tributor Mu from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect possesses dozens of Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts. These artifacts alone can significantly boost the strength of the Five Elements Immortal Sect and those other heretical Immortal Sects. Not to mention, Tributor Mu undoubtedly masters Immortal Artifact refining techniques far superior to those of ordinary Artifact Refining Masters! Judging by the current situation, today's battle means more than just the annihilation of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. This damn Seventy-Six Immortal Sects Alliance will also rampage across the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty, growing ever stronger!"

"Damn it, damn it all!" The late-stage Third-Grade Earth Immortal from the Beimang Immortal Sect cursed repeatedly. He looked at the Communication Jade Token in his hand with frustration and said, "It's a pity that the Beimang Immortal Sect is too far from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. Although I have informed the Sect Leader, it will still take several days for our dozens of Earth Immortals to arrive, even at the fastest pace. If only a handful of Earth Immortals carrying Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts come, it won't change the situation. Alas! It's so frustrating. We're just a few days too late to save the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect!"

The Third-Grade Earth Immortal from the West Star Immortal Sect also looked frustrated. "A Sixth-Grade Earth Immortal with over three hundred Earth Immortals—such a lineup is hard to contend with, even if all the Earth Immortals from our four Immortal Sects rush over. After all, even if our Sect Leaders lead all our Earth Immortals in a full mobilization, we could only muster about one hundred and fifty at most. Our opponents outnumber us more than two to one! How can we fight this?"

Wine Immortal Chi Liuxia remained silent for a moment. True Essence circulated within him, causing the Wine Gourd beneath him to gradually float. He then said, "Fellow daoists, after today, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect is likely to be no more. This Seventy-Six Immortal Sects Alliance, led by the Five Elements Wanderer, will also likely see a significant increase in power. They will rampage across the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty and wage battles against our Orthodox Sects! Instead of lamenting here, fellow daoists, it would be better to return to your respective Immortal Sects and prepare early for the impending onslaught of the Seventy-Six Immortal Sects Alliance!"

The Third-Grade Earth Immortal Guo Haishan, filled with anger, cried out, "Is there really no other way? Are we really going to just watch as the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect is annihilated?"

A look of sorrow crossed Wine Immortal Chi Liuxia's face. The formidable Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal felt a surge of helplessness in his heart as he said, "Who would have thought the Five Elements Wanderer of the Five Elements Immortal Sect would directly use their sect's most formidable hidden treasure? Given the current situation, unless a miracle occurs, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect and Tributor Mu will certainly not escape this calamity!"
