Chapter 530: Chapter 262: Return to the Myriad Stars, War Between Two Realms _3
After Han Yi agreed, Wei Xi departed to attend to the arriving reinforcement cultivators and sects.
As for Han Yi who stayed, he didn’t care about the disorderly circumstances. He chose a small, crooked mountain peak next to the valley that was about hundred meters high. He set up the Ten Thousand Miles Soaring Array and the Great Mysterious Qiankun Array one after another. Then, he sat at the edge of the peak and started his cultivation.
As estimated earlier, Zhuge Wu You may arrive at the Stars Sea around seven days later, and Han Yi just needed to wait quietly.
However.
After three days.
He suddenly opened his eyes, his expression solemn. He soared into the air, casting his gaze toward the direction of the Eastern Sea.
Deep in the Eastern Sea, the wind rose, clouds surged, the color of heaven and earth changed.
Thirteen incomparably huge Immortal Boats appeared in the sky out of nowhere.
Aboard the Immortal Boats, dozens of demon-like auras were vigorously surging forward. They were approaching the Stars Sea with the capability to obliterate heaven and earth, upset the sun and the moon.
Among these scores of demon-like auras, more than sixty belonged to Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators. In the Evil Clan, they were also known as Evil Saints. Above these Evil Saints, there were as many as seven breaths, shaking heaven and earth, emitting an unparalleled majesty that could tear apart space and reach the blue sky.
Evil Gods.
These were clearly Demon Cultivators at the Spirit Transformation stage that were superior to Evil Saints, and such Demon Cultivators were known as Evil Gods in the Cultivation World.
In addition to the seven Evil Gods and more than sixty Evil Saints, there were over a thousand Golden Core Evil Kings and tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment Great Demons on these thirteen boats.
Below these thirteen Immortal Boats, turbulent seas, waves rising above waves. Han Yi’s pupils contracted violently. They were not sea waves at the sight, they were a multitude of powerful evil beasts that came riding waves.
A cold chill struck Han Yi’s heart. This was not just a demon disturbance, it was clearly a war, a war between the Evil Clan and the Human Clan. Although this war was only at its beginning, Han Yi could already predict its intensity. Even in the Yu Heng World, it was the highest level.
As the first shot of this war was fired, three Spirit Transformations fell. Among them, one from the Human Clan, Lord Eternal of Stars Sea, and two Evil Gods from the Evil Clan. The horror was far more severe than the descent of the demon cave decades ago.
The second time was more of a probing attack. Only one Evil God from the Evil Clan was severely injured. Apart from this, many True Monarchs and Evil Saints also fell.
Now, it was the third time.
Evil Beasts, Great Demons, Evil Kings, Evil Saints, Evil Gods, countless auras of the Evil Clan, covering the sky and the earth, like a vast army, are rushing toward the Stars Sea.
However, before Han Yi could react, the entire Stars Sea had already responded. In the face of such a formidable army, all conspiracies and set-ups are futile. Only strength is the ultimate determinant of victory or defeat.
Above the Stars Sea, the light shield covering the entire Immortal Island had suddenly increased its brightness by several times. The spirit light was flickering, extremely dangerous.
This was a Fifth-stage Formation. Moreover, after tens of thousands of years, it has been blessed by several generations of Spirit Transformation experts of the Stars Sea. Even among the Fifth-stage formations, it is considered high-ranked.
Inside the spirit light, figures of six Spirit Transformation experts emerged, their momentum shaking heaven and earth. Each occupies a domain of space, filled with the boundless aura of Immortal Path, transforming into various visions.
Han Yi looked up. As he saw this, his pupils shrank. Now, he was no longer just a small Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Having received Lv Bai’s Jade Butterfly, the Jade Butterfly contains an introduction to the major powers of the Beidou Region. Among them, special emphasis was placed on the Daqian Immortal Country where Heavenly Will Sect is located.
The one standing at the forefront was a middle-aged man whose face was not clearly visible. Just by his starry daoist robe and the giant Immortal Bow in his hand, his identity could be inferred.
The current leader of the Stars Sea, latter phase of the Spirit Transformation, Lord Stars.
In the hands of Lord Stars was the immortal bow, the highest legacy of Stars Sea, a Half-Immortal Item called Shooting Sun Immortal Bow.
This immortal bow was obtained from a relic of the Immortal Realm by the first Lord Stars. With this bow, Lord Stars established the Stars Sea, and set up this holy land that has continued for tens of thousands of years.
Not far behind Lord Stars was Lord Seven Killings, who was severely injured half a month ago. After taking the spiritual pills and Spiritual Medicine stored in the holy land, he had only recovered eighty percent of his strength.
Lord Seven Killings, with a giant black knife in hand, displayed a phantom of a sea of blood that caused a slight change in Han Yi’s complexion. When Han Yi first arrived at the Stars Sea and laid eyes on Lord Seven Killings, he nearly succumbed to the illusion. Now, despite a slight change in his complexion, he was able to withstand the impact of such illusions without much harm. It shows Han Yi’s strength was much stronger than that of Zhuge Wu You.
Han Yi turned his gaze to the remaining four figures. Amongst them was Li Changsheng, Lord Changsheng of Yujing Mountain, whom he had met twice before. As ever, Li Changsheng appeared as a youth in green robes, but his expression was much more solemn.
In the battlefield between the two realms and two races, even Li Changsheng needed to be fully alert. A single mistake could lead to a dire fall.
Not far from Li Changshen was another Spirit Transformation Lord of Yujing Mountain, Lord Qingxu, whom Han Yi had seen once at the Demon Slaying Conference in the Eastern Sea decades ago.
Among them was a middle-aged man dressed in purple silk robes, holding a red halberd, with the space around the halberd vaguely broken apart.
“Spiritual Treasure, the Fire Phoenix Halberd.”
“Duke An of Daqian, An Yan.”
Originally Daqian had three esteemed Dukes: Duke An, Duke Dingguo, and the National Guardian Duke. However, the National Guardian Duke, Pang Cheng, plotted to invade the Earth Devil Nation and was sliced in half by the Human Emperor Sword, leaving only half of his body. He fled beyond the Beidou Region, and his whereabouts are unknown.
As for Duke An, he was the only non-human Duke among the three Dukes of Daqian. His jurisdiction was over the southern part of Qianzhou, while Duke Dingguo’s was over the northern part. Therefore, when an incident occurred in the Stars Sea, Duke An was the first to arrive.
Not far from Duke An stood an old man. At first glance, he appeared to be frail with age, but his presence here already suggested a lot.
Han Yi’s eyes narrowed and then relaxed, as he had correlated the information he had received from the Jade Butterfly earlier with this old man.
The Elder was from Great Yong Immortal Country, a holy land, the Da Yan Immortal Sect, in the Latter phase of Spirit Transformation, Lord Tianwu.
Lord Tianwu was a living myth. He first learned martial arts, then became an immortal. Although there was not a sign of a miracle on him, his murder intention was extreme. He was not heading down the path of slaughter, but his slaughter aura was rated as the first in Yu Heng by the Daqin Emperor.
This was a powerful reinforcement comparable to the strength of Lord Stars.
Stars, Seven Killings, Changsheng, Qingxu, An, Tianwu.
Six Spirit Transformations, suppressing the Universe, marking out Heaven and Earth.
Below them, more than fifty True Monarchs had gathered.
Following the True Monarchs, more than six hundred Golden Cores and thousands of Foundation Establishment Cultivators had arrived, either by flying or by using artifacts.
These were the cultivators on the Immortal Island of the Stars Sea.
Below the Immortal Island, in the area where things had collapsed, tens of thousands of cultivators were gathered, among them, a dozen or so True Monarchs, more than two hundred Golden Cores, several thousand Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and countless Qi practitioners.
As the demon qi, solid as essence, rolled in like surging waves, it threatened to crush everything in its path.
Han Yi took a deep breath, his eyes filled with an unparalleled solemnity.
The battle was imminent.
