Chapter 421 - 398: The Army Approaches, Full-Scale War Begins!
The Long Boat sailed through the sky.
Onboard were cultivators from various sects.
The Righteous Sects, led by the Immortal King Sect, sought to annihilate the Blood Transformation Demon Sect, and naturally, they committed all their efforts, with nearly all cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage and above participating in the battle.
As for those below the Nascent Soul Stage, they were not included in these ranks.
After all.
The cultivation below the Nascent Soul Stage was too weak.
In battles of this level.
Not to mention mere Golden Core Stage cultivators, even Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, and Integration level cultivators were merely cannon fodder; only Void Refining and Tribulation Crossing were truly high-end combat power.
And the ultimate peak power naturally lay in the two Mahayana Stage experts.
Below the Nascent Soul Stage.
They weren’t even qualified to act as cannon fodder.
At this moment.
On the Long Boat representing the Immortal King Sect, Master Gu Ming sat in the main seat, while the other powerful figures of the Immortal King Sect, including Sect Master Shangxu Zhenren, sat in secondary positions.
"Supreme Elder, according to the intelligence we currently have, our sects have penetrated deep into the Demon Dao territory without encountering any obstruction or ambush.
Moreover, according to reports from spies within the Blood Transformation Demon Sect, numerous Demon Dao experts are currently gathering in the Blood Transformation Demon Sect.
It seems they intend to engage us in a frontal battle!"
Shangxu Zhenren conveyed all the information gathered to Master Gu Ming.
In the presence of a Mahayana Stage expert, even as the sect master, he could only follow the other’s orders.
To this.
Shangxu Zhenren felt there was no issue.
He could even completely hand over his position as sect master if Master Gu Ming wished.
Having a Mahayana Stage expert personally lead the way was enough to bring the Immortal King Sect to its peak.
Master Gu Ming’s expression was calm: "Now that the Blood Transformation Demon has broken through to the Mahayana Stage, he surely has the confidence and resolve, believing he can compete against our Righteous Alliance.
In that case, let me show him what it means that evil cannot triumph over righteousness!"
"Right now, other Demonic Sects are vulnerable. If we act against them first, we might catch them by surprise."
Shangxu Zhenren pondered for a moment and suggested.
Since Demon Dao experts were concentrated in the Blood Transformation Demon Sect, it left other Demonic Sects vulnerable, and the Righteous Sects might catch them unprepared.
It was not impossible to annihilate a few sects amidst the chaos.
But Master Gu Ming directly rejected this proposal.
In his view.
There was no need for such complications.
The greatest threat to the Celestial Demon Sacred Land right now was the Blood Transformation Demon Sect.
As long as the Blood Transformation Ancestor could be slain, the remaining Demonic Sects were not worth worrying about. Conversely, failure to slay the Blood Transformation Ancestor, even if other Demonic Sects were destroyed, would only drive the remaining demon experts to madness.
At that time.
The Righteous Dao would face extreme and furious revenge.
Under such circumstances.
Master Gu Ming would naturally not undertake thankless tasks.
Besides.
Having broken through to the Mahayana Stage, his power had significantly increased. Even when facing the Blood Transformation Ancestor, who was also at the Mahayana Stage, Master Gu Ming did not believe he couldn’t overpower him.
Since the Blood Transformation Demon Sect wanted a direct confrontation, he would give them the opportunity.
Upon hearing this.
Shangxu Zhenren decided not to persist further.
...
The Long Boat sailed through the sky.
All the powerful figures from the Immortal Dao Sects looked intensely toward the front.
There.
Demonic forces surged.
In many people’s eyes, it seemed as if blood qi filled the sky, the strong scent of blood assaulting their senses, creating a mysterious pressure that involuntarily made them tense up.
Some experts with profound cultivation could clearly sense the gathering of numerous powerful presences there.
The Blood Transformation Demon Sect!
They had arrived!
When they reached the front of the Blood Transformation Demon Sect, the various Long Boats came to a halt.
At the same time.
Within the Blood Transformation Demon Sect, numerous Demon Dao experts also wore stern expressions.
Neither side spoke, yet the opposing auras clashed invisibly, intensifying the tension in the atmosphere.
Shangguan Ming’s face was grim: "It seems that the Righteous Dao is going all out this time. With so many experts coming, they want to take this opportunity to completely suppress us!"
"Hm, it’s yet to be seen who will win in the end. While the Immortal King Sect has produced a Mahayana, don’t forget the one from the Blood Transformation Demon Sect had proven his Dao amidst the Celestial Punishment.
If they truly engage in combat, the outcome is unpredictable!"
Yuan Xiao coldly smiled, glancing toward the camp of the Immortal Dao Sects, his eyes seemingly flickering with a cold light.
The Righteous and Demon Daos could not coexist.
Their conflicting ideals and beliefs had always been a source of severe friction and conflict.
However, the emergence of the Blood Transformation Demon Sect tore apart whatever facade of decorum existed between the two sides, pushing them into a situation of no retreat, no surrender.
At that moment.
A cold voice emanated from within the Long Boat of the Immortal King Sect, breaking the silence of the scene first.
"The Blood Transformation Demon Sect has slaughtered countless beings and provoked divine and human indignation, intolerable to heaven and earth. This time, our sects aim only to eliminate the chief evildoers. Any unrelated individuals should leave quickly to avoid unnecessary harm."
As these words echoed.
Most cultivators within the Blood Transformation Demon Sect remained indifferent, unaffected.
No one was a fool; everyone could discern the underlying provocation in these words.
However.
A few cultivators’ eyes flickered, seemingly tempted.
At this time.
Yuan Xiao spoke loudly: "The Righteous and Demon Daos stand in irreconcilable opposition. Now that your Righteous Sects have gathered your army here, everyone knows your ambition. I fear that if you succeed in destroying the Blood Transformation Demon Sect today, the slaughter will inevitably reach us tomorrow.
This conflict was initiated by you. If you don’t wish to fight, then leave quickly. But if you start this war, we won’t fear you in the slightest."
