Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“What? A supreme-grade Spiritual Treasure!”
The Fiery Sword Emperor’s expression changed drastically at that moment.
He could distinctly sense a mysterious domain emanating from the bamboo pole, which effortlessly penetrated the defenses of his high-grade Spiritual Treasure and inflicted damage upon its essence.
“Damn it!”
His expression darkened considerably, realizing he stood no chance against such an opponent.
Prioritizing defense became his immediate concern.
Thinking of this, the Fiery Sword Emperor immediately ordered everyone to activate the Level 7 array.
Instantly, countless sword shadows filled the sky, each shimmering with a silvery light and exuding a sharp aura.
This array, the High Heaven Eternal Sword Array, was the Eternal Sword Sect’s claim to fame.
Upon seeing this, Elder Yuan Feng chuckled.
At that moment, he did not advance and just stood guard outside the array.
This left the Fiery Sword Emperor and his people in a dilemma, neither able to advance nor retreat, trapped in an uncomfortable stalemate.
“Damnit!”
Flames of anger blazed in the Fiery Sword Emperor’s eyes, but faced with Elder Yuan Feng’s frustrating tactics, he found himself without recourse.
Eventually, they were forced to temporarily retreat, conceding vast swathes of territory.
“No choice left.”
A few days later.
Days later, as the Fiery Sword Emperor listened to the reports from the elders, his face was the epitome of gloom.
“With our current situation, there’s no way we can defeat those guys from the Haoran Sect.
Continuing this stalemate will only deplete the Eternal Sword Sect’s strength in vain.”
“Then, Senior Brother Fiery Sword, what are you suggesting?”
Elder Bei Shan tentatively inquired, prompting everyone’s gaze to turn towards the Fiery Sword Emperor.
His eyes flashed fiercely as he slowly stated,
“I plan to inform our sect master and the supreme elders about our predicament here and request that they relay this matter to the Five Elements Heavenly Sect.”
“What? Inform the Five Elements Heavenly Sect?”
Elder Bei Shan and the others were taken aback by the suggestion.
“If we bring the Five Elements Heavenly Sect into this, we’ll completely lose our hold over this area.
Even if we ultimately defeat the Haoran Sect, the share of this large Heavenly Crystal mine left to our Eternal Sword Sect will likely be minimal.”
“Then tell me, aside from this approach, do we have any better options?”
The Fiery Sword Emperor challenged, turning to look at the others with a stern voice.
The group exchanged looks, finding themselves at a loss for words.
Clearly, they didn’t have a better solution to the current predicament.
“Since there’s no better approach, let’s tentatively settle on this plan,” the Fiery Sword Emperor spoke again.
“Regardless, this isn’t solely my decision to make.
Everything ultimately depends on the sect master and the supreme elders.”
A month later.
Jiang Chengxuan, positioned behind the battlefield, suddenly sensed over a dozen formidable auras swiftly approaching from afar.
This caused his eyes to narrow.
This was because he had captured a few familiar auras from the dozen or so auras.
That was the aura unique to Five Elements Heavenly Sect cultivators.
As a cultivator who cultivated the path of the five elements, Jiang Chengxuan knew the aura of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect cultivators very well.
“It seems the Eternal Sword Sect has indeed sought assistance from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect.
Looks like that should be the case.”
In his eyes, he had already seen a few familiar faces.
They were Void Returning Divine Lords from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect. The two people in the lead were also mighty beings in the Seethrough stage. One of them was called Feng Tianyun, while the other was called Divine Lord Furious Sea.
One of them was proficient in the Dao of Fire while the other was proficient in the Dao of Water.
Additionally, there were several Celestial Radiance stage cultivators and seven or eight Dharma Form cultivators.
From this, it was not difficult to see that the Five Elements Heavenly Sect placed a lot of importance on that large Heavenly Crystal mine.
They had sent out such a lineup at once.
“It’s time to inform the sect and my senior sister about this development.” Jiang Chengxuan had already alerted Xie Xiangyao of his presence through a special method.
So.
Soon after, Xie Xiangyao convened a meeting with all cultivators above Void Returning on the frontline, including Elder Yuan Feng and Chi Yan, two Seethrough stage powerhouses.
At this moment, Yuan Feng and Chi Yan both looked at Xie Xiangyao and asked with a smile,
“Junior Sister Xie, have you called us all here for something special?”
Knowing her, they understood that Xie Xiangyao wouldn’t gather everyone without significant reason.
“Indeed, there is a matter I need to share with everyone,” Xie Xiangyao began. “Not long ago, cultivators from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect joined forces with those from the Eternal Sword Sect.”
“What?”
Hearing Xie Xiangyao relay this news, Elder Yuan Feng, Elder Chi Yan, and the others couldn’t hide their surprise.
They hadn’t anticipated that the Eternal Sword Sect would actually reach out to the Five Elements Heavenly Sect regarding this matter.
“Junior Sister Xie, can you confirm this?”
At this moment, Elder Chi Yan could not help but speak in a deep voice.
“I can confirm,” Xie Xiangyao nodded affirmatively.
After a pause, she added, “You all must remember the mysterious ally who has been assisting us from the shadows in past battles, right?”
“Huh?”
The mention of this unseen helper sparked a realization among Elder Yuan Feng, Elder Chi Yan, and the others.
Elder Yuan Feng said, “Does Junior Sister Xie know that person’s identity?
And, was this information also provided by this person?”
“That’s right.”
Xie Xiangyao didn’t conceal this fact and nodded in response.
“Indeed, he discovered this matter, and I do know his identity, but for now,
At this point, Xie Xiangyao paused for a moment before continuing,
“I cannot disclose it. I hope you all understand.”
The elders nodded in understanding, though their expressions quickly turned serious.
“If the Eternal Sword Sect has indeed brought the Five Elements Heavenly Sect into this, it won’t be long before they launch an offensive against us,” one elder voiced out.
Xie Xiangyao nodded in agreement.
“Therefore, we need to make preparations in advance.
Also, there’s no need for excessive worry. This information has already been sent to our sect. I believe it won’t be long before more of our brothers and sisters from the sect join us.
We only need to…”
A few days later.
A sea of fire, stretching for tens of thousands of miles and resembling a volcanic eruption, surged towards the Haoran Sect’s stronghold.
Upon witnessing this, Xie Xiangyao, Elder Yuan Feng, Elder Chi Yan, and the others sharpened their focus.
“This level of power… If I’m not mistaken, it must be Feng Tianyun from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect,” Elder Yuanfeng declared gravely.
“It’s definitely him,” Elder Chi Yan suddenly spoke up.
“Let me handle him.
We have some old scores to settle, so it’s time for a proper confrontation.”
As he spoke, countless droplets of fire gathered behind Elder Chi Yan, quickly forming into blazing stars.
These fiery celestial bodies then shot towards the oncoming inferno, ready to collide with the formidable existence sent out by Five Elements Heavenly Sect.
“The Eternal Sword Sect, indeed a well-trained dog by your Five Elements Heavenly Sect.
I didn’t expect they would even inform you about such matters.”
Elder Chi Yan suddenly spoke out loudly,
“But do you know, we discovered this large Heavenly Crystal mine quite some time ago.
Isn’t your arrival today a bit too late?
Or, did your obedient dog fail to inform you immediately?”
BOOM!
As his words ended, their attacks clashed violently.
Instantly, the entire sky turned the color of flames, causing the surrounding air, vegetation, and rocks to ignite spontaneously.
On the other side, hearing Elder Chi Yan’s words, the expressions of the Eternal Sword Sect cultivators changed dramatically.
They couldn’t even care less about Chi Yan calling their sect “dog” for the time being. They hurriedly wanted to explain their reason for not immediately informing Five Elements Heavenly Sect of the discovery of the large Heavenly Crystal mine.
However, before they could speak, a cultivator from the Five Elements
Heavenly Sect scoffed dismissively and retorted loudly,
“Chi Yan, spare us your attempts to sow discord. Do you really think such childish provocations will sway us?
Or do you take us for fools?”
With those words, an elder in a blue robe soared into the sky.
Behind him, an endless sea of fire roared, transforming into dragons, crocodiles, bulls, phoenixes, and more, all charging towards Elder Chi Yan. “Break!”
Flames surged in Elder Chi Yan’s eyes as he raised his hand.
Buzz!
In an instant, countless fiery stars morphed into miniature suns, spinning rapidly as they met the incoming fire dragons, crocodiles, bulls, and phoenixes head-on.
Rumble!
The sky erupted with intense explosions, resembling suns bursting, filling the area with blinding light and scorching heat that spanned tens of thousands of miles.
The clash zone turned into a giant crimson sphere, radiating endless light and heat, invoking a sense of dread in all who witnessed it.
Such is the might of Seethrough stage powerhouses.
