Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1359 Head-to-head confrontation
North of Haoming Sea.

On the vast, boundless blue sea.

An unprecedented, endless river of spiritual light stretched across the heavens and earth, dividing the surrounding seas in two.

Looking down.

Enormous spirit islands stand on the sea, forming a line. Various powerful arrays shimmer with light, and unimaginable torrents of light flow through them.

This world has gathered all the main forces from the two major cultivation worlds, Haoming Sea and Shuangyang Sea.

A vast army of cultivators, primarily Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators, continuously entered and occupied the area surrounding this defensive line. Even the high-ranking Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the cultivation world formed new teams to oversee various islands.

The roaring sounds from the torrents and grand formations of the Spirit Boat battlefield stretched endlessly, resounding throughout the heavens and earth, making the atmosphere of this place even more solemn and grim.

The central area of ​​the defense line.

Three enormous, pale red crystal islands, seemingly cast by the heavens, sit between heaven and earth, enveloped by a vast expanse of mysterious red clouds that constantly converge to form various ancient scroll patterns.

Deep within the vast, boundless sea of ​​clouds, a majestic palace floats and sinks, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden, radiating an ancient and boundless aura of power.

in the hall.

"The outer region of the Bianyu Sea has completely fallen, and the endless beast tide is launching a frenzied counterattack. A great battle is about to break out!"

The Qing Tian Sect's Ancestor Junmu looked solemnly towards the front of the main hall.

There was a middle-aged couple sitting together. The middle-aged man at the head of the table was tall and imposing, with a domineering and majestic face. His full head of silver hair could not hide the violent and vast pressure emanating from him. His dark red ancient Taoist robe made him appear angry but not intimidating.

Beside her stood a petite, gray-haired middle-aged woman, whose pale red Taoist robe accentuated her elegant and noble demeanor.

The two were none other than the Qingyang Ancestor and his wife, who were stationed at Shuangyang Palace. Both of them were at the late Nascent Soul stage. In addition, Shuangyang Palace was skilled in combined attack techniques, and the couple's reputation was quite well-known throughout the entire Nan Yue Di Hai world.

"It seems the Ghost King Sect is about to take action!"

A somber look also appeared in Qingyang Patriarch's eyes.

Although the Ghost King Sect and the Golden Demon Kingdom are not subordinate to each other and have no relationship on the surface, they must be colluding in secret.

During the last decade-long catastrophe in the eastern sea region, both sides tacitly invaded the cultivation world of this region at the same time.

The difference is that the last catastrophe ended because the Ji family intervened.

This time, the situation is even more critical, as the Ji family, the former overlords of this land, no longer exists.

The Old Ancestor Junmu said in a deep voice, "Based on the previous situation, there are no true late-stage Nascent Soul experts within the Ghost King Sect, only two late-stage fourth-order ghost spirits. I have fought them head-on before, and the strength of those two late-stage fourth-order ghost spirits is not something to be afraid of."

After Ancestor Junmu recounted the entire details of their previous encounter, Ancestor Qingyang shook his head deeply: "It's definitely more than that!"

"The great cultivator who oversees the Ghost King Sect certainly won't make a move easily, at least not right now!"

"That's why the Ghost King Sect must have made ample preparations once they take action. How could two late-stage fourth-tier ghost spirits possibly break through the defense line held by the three of us!"

As if remembering something, Ancestor Qingyang frowned deeply: "The elder of the Desolate Ancestor Hall said beforehand that the Ghost King Sect has shadows from beyond the boundary!"

"Although the Ghost King Sect's apparent strength is not comparable to that of the Golden Demon Kingdom, it should not be underestimated. Have your men prepare accordingly."

After making arrangements for the major battle.

The voice of Ancestor Junmu rang out again: "That Fellow Daoist Luo Yan has also openly shown himself!"

In an instant, both Qingyang Patriarch and his companion showed a strange expression.

Luo Yan Zhenjun's identity is different; he is the only late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in Luofeng Valley.

Although the Ji family patriarch was defeated and perished in the war against the heavens, and the Ji family disappeared without a trace, Luofeng Valley, as a vassal force of the Ji family, did not follow the Ji family away and was left behind.

"That Fellow Daoist Luo Yan has already led all the disciples of Luofeng Valley to the battlefield in the Bianyu Sea."

Ancestor Qingyang nodded slightly: "It seems that Fellow Daoist Luo Yan intends to integrate Falling Phoenix Valley into this world as a new force!"

He was not surprised that the Ji family had abandoned Luofeng Valley.

After all, the Ji family is a legendary ancient family with a true spiritual bloodline. Its foundation is unimaginable, and it has countless treasures and opportunities. With the fall of the Ji family patriarch, the entire Ji family will inevitably attract countless eyes.

Not to mention that the true spirit bloodline of their family is worthy of the personal intervention of major top forces.

Therefore, after the Ji family left, they had to hide their tracks, because if word got out, the Ji family would face annihilation.

For the Ji family, Fallen Phoenix Valley was an undeniable burden.

"In any case, this is definitely good news!"

Ancestor Junmu slowly said, "Although Luo Feng Valley only has one late-stage Nascent Soul expert, Fellow Daoist Luo Yan, it has many Nascent Soul cultivators within it. Moreover, Luo Feng Valley has close ties with many forces in the Fengxiang Sea Region. Only it can mobilize the entire Fengxiang Sea Region's power to participate in this great battle."

"Not bad!"

Ancestor Qingyang nodded and said, "In this way, the strength of the battlefield in the Bianyu Sea Area will greatly increase. With the combined efforts of the five Nascent Soul stage cultivators and the cultivation world of the four major sea areas, they should not be at a disadvantage in the battle against the Golden Demon Kingdom!"

Even so, the solemnity on the faces of the three did not dissipate.

How could they not understand that all of this was merely a superficial comparison of strength?

The real deciding factor in the outcome of this great war is not them, but the attitudes of the three top powers from the central sea area.

Although the three top powers have decided to support them, it remains to be seen what price they are willing to pay to confront the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect.

"Ugh!"

Just then, Patriarch Junmu suddenly sighed softly: "It's a pity that the Thousand Waters Spirit Control Sect has completely withdrawn from the Border Sea Area and moved the entire sect to the Central Sea Area!"

Ancestor Qingyang's eyes flickered slightly.

He naturally understood what the Old Ancestor Junmu meant. On the surface, he was referring to the Thousand Waters Spirit Control Sect, but in reality, he was referring to the Azure Mysterious True Lord behind it, whose name resounded throughout the stars and seas.

The relocation of the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect also represents the attitude of that Azure Mystery True Lord: not to participate in the conflicts of this world.

"That Fellow Daoist Qingxuan has already obtained a fortuitous opportunity from the Sealed Heaven Realm, and now he must be preparing to break through to the late Nascent Soul Realm!"

Ancestor Qingyang gently shook his head.

If that fellow Daoist is willing to participate in this great battle, it will undoubtedly be a huge help to their major sects.

Even though that person had not broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage, their status was still incomparable to theirs.

After all, the seventy-two people on the Earthly Fiends Ranking are already recognized by the entire Star Sea cultivation world as the future of the human race.

Not to mention that True Monarch Qingxuan was one of the best among them.

"That must be it!"

Ancestor Junmu gave a wry smile: "Right now, none of us are qualified to test the attitude of the three top powers. If that Fellow Daoist Qingxuan were here, with his special status and identity, he could represent us to discuss things with the three top powers!"

This is also what they are most worried about.

There are concerns that these major forces will ultimately become pawns in the power struggle between the three top powers and the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect.

At this moment.

But then a crimson token automatically fell from above the main hall.

"The Ghost King Sect is about to make its move!"

The three patriarchs of Junmu simultaneously froze and stood up.

"Let's go, let's see what tricks the Ghost King Sect has up its sleeve!"

In an instant, the three of them rushed out of the main hall and landed in the sky above the pale red sea of ​​clouds.

Woo! Woo! Woo!
Endless, eerie hisses echoed from every corner of the deep sea.

Before I knew it, the once sunny sky had turned dark.

The horizon had long since turned pitch black, and the vast demonic clouds resembled an unimaginable maw, relentlessly approaching and devouring the heavens and earth.

"Activate the grand formation!"

With roars echoing, massive spiritual islands around the sea shone brightly, and the protective formations of each island were fully activated.

One after another, powerful arrays began to evolve into various celestial phenomena, appearing between heaven and earth.

at the same time.

A breathtaking scene unfolded at the edge of the sea.

One could see enormous, terrifying ghosts, each a hundred feet tall, carrying a massive black demonic ship as they rapidly approached.

From a distance, it resembles a picture of ten thousand ghosts walking at night, with each ghost spirit faintly emanating a vast and dark aura.

Behind that ghostly ship stretched an endless expanse of demonic warships, a vast and uncharted strait.

The endless howls of ghosts grew clearer and clearer, like the demonic sounds of heaven and earth, causing every cultivator on the surrounding spiritual island to tremble in their hearts.

Only fifty years have passed since the last ten-year catastrophe in the eastern part of the Southern Moon Sea. The cruel memories of that catastrophe still remain in the minds of every cultivator.

The current scene undoubtedly reminds everyone of what happened back then.

That catastrophe wiped out countless sects and forces, and many Nascent Soul cultivators who held sway over a region faced destruction and decline.

Now, a new catastrophe is striking, and it is even more dangerous.

Even the lower-level families and sects knew that the Ji family, which had led them to victory in the last great battle, no longer existed.

The eastern part of the Southern Moon Sea is now in a truly precarious situation.

kill!kill!kill!

Countless frenzied, bloodthirsty roars converged into a torrent, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

The boundless surging demonic energy automatically split apart, transforming into a torrent of demonic warships that rushed towards the spirit islands within the defensive line.

The battlefield of Sangyue Island.

In the dim, dark world.

A vast, golden miniature world illuminates the heavens and the earth.

Looking down.

Giant crystal monuments shaped like giant swords float above the massive island.

An endless torrent of golden light erupted continuously, and countless phantom images of golden giant swords rapidly condensed, transforming into a true golden giant sword world.

At this moment, the area surrounding the entire formation had transformed into a true sea of ​​demons.

The vast ocean of demonic energy continued to gather, eroding the heavens and earth.

Countless demonic warships blotted out the sky.

"kill!"

Accompanied by a cold shout.

The mighty torrent of demonic warships surged wildly toward that golden little world.

At the same time, within the golden miniature world, an endless stream of cultivators surged forth.

Looking down.

Darkness and golden torrents collided head-on, countless screams and roars intertwined, and a vast blood mist rose continuously. In the world where black and gold intertwined, an ever-expanding scarlet line appeared.

Deep within the battlefield, countless low-level demonic cultivators and low-level immortal cultivators engaged in life-or-death battles. As for the battlefield as a whole, these seemingly cruel and bloody fights were merely a ripple in a vast ocean, utterly insignificant.

Their victories, defeats, lives, and deaths had no impact on the final outcome; they were merely expendable resources in the war.

The cruelty of the dark laws of the cultivation world was fully revealed at this moment.

Deep within the vast array of golden swords.

A figure with immense aura stood in mid-air, gazing at the distant rainbows of demonic energy on the battlefield.

Neither side paid any attention to the brutal battle unfolding below.

The great array that gathered countless golden giant sword phantoms was unwilling to expend even a fraction of its power to help the massive army of cultivators below.

"There aren't any demonic cultivators at the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage!"

A slightly surprised voice rang out.

The tall, robust middle-aged man in the yellow robe at the head of the group also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Although there were many Nascent Soul level demonic cultivators on the other side, there was no powerful figure in charge; most of them were early Nascent Soul level demonic cultivators.

In an instant, the previously heavy atmosphere dissipated somewhat.

It should be noted that in this major battle, they were originally on the defensive, and with the added advantage of occupying a large formation, they were in complete control.

"Fellow Daoists, do not be careless, beware of any traps!"

Seeing the subtle changes in the crowd, the tall, middle-aged man in the yellow robe spoke again, reminding them, "The number of Nascent Soul realm experts on the other side far exceeds ours; we should still be cautious."

at the same time.

Within the demonic clouds behind the battlefield.

"Alliance Leader, the yellow-robed man leading the group is none other than True Monarch Bi Tu from the Twin Suns Sea Region. Not only is he at the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage, but he also has a formidable reputation and is highly skilled in defensive techniques."

As Ghost Bitter Demon Lord stepped forward to report on the opponent's situation, the excited and awe-inspiring gazes of the surrounding crowd quickly turned to the black demonic rainbow at the forefront.

Upon closer inspection, a young figure in black robes could be seen faintly, emanating an incomparably pure primal demonic light.

"This is the first time our Scattered Demon Alliance has publicly rallied and launched an attack!"

A completely emotionless voice rang out.

"I volunteered to the two Grand Elders of the Heaven and Earth Departments to secure this opportunity to act. Fellow Daoists, please do not tarnish the reputation of our Loose Demon Alliance!"

The young figure in black robes slowly turned around and looked at the crowd, his dark pupils filled with indifference and calm.

"Rest assured, Alliance Leader, we will fight with all our might and live up to the Alliance's reputation!"

One by one, the Nascent Soul Demon Lords, exuding a fierce aura and boundless demonic power, hurriedly bowed and paid their respects.

Everyone still remaining in the Scattered Demon Alliance understands the ruthless methods of this young alliance leader.

"Go ahead, Lord Bi Tu will handle this personally!"

Faced with such seemingly arrogant words, the group of Nascent Soul Demon Lords dared not have any doubts whatsoever.

Although the alliance leader has never made a move in front of them, more than one Nascent Soul stage peak expert who was blocking the expansion of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce in the Eastern Star Xuan Sea has mysteriously perished.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
In an instant, streaks of demonic light shot into the sky, sweeping across the brutal battlefield below, and charged towards the vast array formed by the golden giant sword phantoms.

"If it weren't inconvenient to expose it, why go through all this trouble!"

Li Xuan gently shook his head.

In this great battle, he needed to demonstrate enough strength and methods to attract the attention of the Ghost King Sect, but he could not be too dazzling, lest the Ghost King Sect become suspicious of him.

Otherwise, his subordinate, the Ghost King Hei Ming, who had already advanced to the peak of the mid-stage of the fourth rank, would have been enough to slaughter this battlefield.

Although Hei Ming has not broken through to the late stage of the fourth rank, his true form has evolved into a true member of the Heavenly Nether Ghost Clan, possessing terrifying potential and strength no less than that of top Nascent Soul experts in the outside world.

As for himself, he could not reveal his ancient demon body, the core methods of the Primordial Demon Sect, or his natal demonic treasure, so he could only use some simple methods that he had prepared in advance.

"It might not be long!"

As if he had thought of something, a faint smile appeared on Li Xuan's lips.

The main body has successfully advanced, which means that the bottleneck of the late Nascent Soul stage no longer exists for him. After the main body stabilizes its cultivation, with its various powerful methods, it will have no fear of anything below the level of a great cultivator. At that time, its advancement will also be a natural outcome.

Once he reaches the late Nascent Soul stage, he will no longer need to worry about the threat from the Ghost King Sect.

"I must say, this upheaval has come at just the right time!"

This catastrophe, which was regarded as a calamity by the cultivation world in the eastern part of the Southern Moon Sea, was a rare opportunity for him and his true self.

Li Xuan smiled faintly, and then stepped into the air.

Streaks of demonic light automatically appeared, transforming into a dark, demonic path that lifted him up.

boom! boom! boom!
At this moment, the area surrounding the golden giant sword phantom array had transformed into a fierce battlefield.

Nearly thirty Nascent Soul Demon Lords from the Scattered Demon Alliance unleashed their full power, their demonic treasures piercing the heavens and earth, unleashing a massive offensive.

at the same time.

All the Nascent Soul True Monarchs stationed on the battlefield of Sangyue Island have now appeared.

Streams of spiritual light burst forth, and countless golden giant sword phantoms fell in panic, as if they were about to cleave the surrounding world in two.

Look around.

Although the opposing side only had nearly twenty Nascent Soul True Monarchs, fewer in number than the Scattered Demon Alliance, they had a large number of mid-Nascent Soul cultivators, plus the support of the surrounding array, giving them a firm advantage.

The attacks of the Nascent Soul Demon Lords couldn't even threaten the outer array, let alone the many Nascent Soul True Lords hiding inside the array.

At the height of the great war.

A beam of pitch-black, demonic light descended from the sky, drawing everyone's attention.

The True Lord Bi Tu, who was stationed on the battlefield of Sangyue Island, also took the initiative to show himself.

"Are you the leader of the Scattered Demon Alliance - Xuan Shi Demon Lord?"

A solemn look appeared in the eyes of the True Lord of the Wall Earth.

When the group of Nascent Soul Demon Lords appeared, he naturally recognized the origins of these demon cultivators.

That's why, even when facing that young black-robed cultivator who seemed to have only a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation level, he dared not be careless.

The opponent is the most renowned Nascent Soul demon cultivator in the demonic cultivation world of the Vast Ocean Domain in recent years.

It is said that he is highly valued by the Ghost King Sect, and not only does he control the entire Scattered Demon Alliance, but his merchant guilds also have influence throughout every corner of the Vast Ocean Sea.

Such a person is unlikely to be as simple as he appears on the surface.

the other side.

Li Xuan ignored the True Monarch Bi Tu and instead glanced indifferently at the Nascent Soul Demon Lords who were constantly erupting.

"Go all out and break the formation as soon as possible! Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy!"

That cold, indifferent voice, devoid of any politeness, resounded throughout the battlefield.

And at the same time.

The group of Nascent Soul Demon Lords, who had seemed to be fighting desperately, appeared to have received a new blessing. More powerful demonic treasures and trump cards soared into the sky, and various inherited techniques from ancient demonic cultivators emerged at the same time.

The entire battlefield situation suddenly changed.

The Nascent Soul Demon Lords, who were at a complete disadvantage, launched a full-scale counterattack.

It was accompanied by a terrifying roar.

Countless golden giant sword phantoms collapsed in large numbers, and the entire formation began to sway.

Upon seeing this scene, Bi Tu Zhenjun's gaze suddenly sharpened.

For some reason, when facing the Xuan Shi Demon Lord, who seemed to have only a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.

The fact that this Xuan Shi Demon Lord could make a group of Nascent Soul demon cultivators fight desperately with just one sentence shows his prestige within the Scattered Demon Alliance.

It should be understood that the cultivation world is based on strength, let alone the even more cruel and bloody demonic cultivation world.

This also indirectly proves his guess.

The methods and strength of this Xuan Shi Demon Lord are definitely not as simple as they appear on the surface.

This person was able to make a group of Nascent Soul Demon Lords fight desperately with just one sentence, which shows his prestige.

Before he could even think it over again...

A blood-red pagoda-shaped magical artifact appeared.

call!call!
The blood-red pagoda had six levels, and each level was printed with terrifying images of countless living beings being devoured by blood flames.

Blood-red demonic flames erupted continuously from inside the six-story pagoda, transforming into torrents that surged toward the vast ocean of golden giant sword phantoms.

at the same time.

Li Xuan waved his hand again.

A black scroll, resembling an ink-stained painting, appeared.

In order to conceal other methods that were inconvenient to expose, he not only had to reveal the existence of the Blood Sun Tower, but had also long ago refined another magical treasure - the Hundred Demon Diagram.

This is part of the Myriad Demon Diagram within his natal demonic treasure, the Yuan Demon Stele.

Because the Yuanmo Stele could not be exposed, a portion of its power was diverted into the Hundred Demon Diagram.

call!call!
Rolling, demonic clouds surged forth.

The black scroll instantly expanded to a size of over a hundred feet. Deep within the ink-black scroll, three illusory demonic faces of different shapes slowly coalesced, emanating a vast and alluring primal demonic aura that tempted people to sink into depravity.

call!call!call!
Streams of blood-red flames erupted continuously, completely refining countless golden giant sword phantoms, instantly creating a vacuum within the golden ocean.

At this moment, the True Lord of the Wall Earth had already made his move.

With his palms raised, a vast torrent of earthen-yellow magical power poured down from his towering figure, transforming into ancient, yellow boulders that rapidly stacked together, instantly forming an earthen-yellow crystal wall that blocked everything in front of the torrent of blood yang flames.

Just as Li Xuan was about to make his move.

Woohoo! Woohoo!
Suddenly, several ancient roars, seemingly emanating from the depths of the ancient underworld, echoed from the distant sea battlefield.

"Are the Grand Elders of the Heaven and Earth Departments about to make their move?"

Li Xuan's gaze instantly turned to the distance.

Perhaps to avoid any danger to him, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Department specifically arranged for him to be in charge of the battlefield near the central battlefield.

At this moment.

But all they could see was that the central battlefield in the distance had been completely transformed into a ghostly realm.

Two enormous ghostly spirits, radiating immense pressure, have appeared.
