Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1617 Clash (Part 1)

Dongxing Xuanhai.

The mighty army of demonic cultivators entered the cultivation world of the western sea from the northern region, moving unimpeded all the way to the heart of the Heavenly Vein Sect.

Prior to this, the continuous attacks from the demonic forces had caused the original sects in the outer seas to either flee or be destroyed, and they had already effectively fallen into the hands of the demonic forces.

Deep in the western sea.

Vast spiritual islands are scattered across the sea along mysterious paths, their various celestial lights shining in the sky, together forming a vast array of heaven and earth.

A vast army of cultivators traversed the area, guarding various key points of the formation. From the depths of the sea, endless spiritual patterns intertwined and descended, annihilating all sea monsters and other creatures, sealing off all breaches.

An unprecedentedly somber and heavy atmosphere of war enveloped the world.

at the same time.

Outside the great formation, a vast dark demonic cloud swept across the heavens and earth.

The vast army of demons gathered together, like a legion from the abyss, appearing out of nowhere and unstoppable.

The two major factions, the demonic path and the immortal cultivators, began to confront each other head-on in this sea area.

Behind the Demonic Cult's headquarters.

An ancient and desolate demonic palace floats deep in the sky, with endless demonic patterns twisting and growing, piercing through layers of void, and exuding an eerie aura that devours everything.

Inside the Demon Palace, figures seated on dark thrones were vaguely divided into five major factions, with the Demon Devouring Sect, represented by small demon-patterned flesh mountains, prominently positioned in the center.

"Our opponents on this trip include not only the Heavenly Vein Sect, but also the three major forces in the Central Sea!"

In front of the mountains of demonic flesh, a broad-skinned, plump old man with a faint, warm smile on his face spoke first.

"We must be fully prepared for this battle!"

The Demon Skin Sect's illusory elder, still dressed as a handsome young man, sneered: "I'd like to see if the Yuanji Palace is willing to go all out for the Heavenly Vein Sect!"

"Just proceed according to plan!" Elder Sen Gu of the Demon Bone Sect said in a deep voice, "Since the various forces in the Eastern Star Profound Sea have already vaguely sensed our presence, then so be it!"

"In this battle, Brother Shiming and Fellow Daoist Xuanshi will once again lead the charge together. I will remain in the rear, ready to personally join the fray at any moment."

In an instant, all eyes in the hall turned toward the two figures located at the left rear.

Of course, most eyes quickly swept past the gray-robed cultivator wearing a mask to the side and converged on the handsome young cultivator in the lead, dressed in a pure black demonic robe.

The other party was none other than the only person in the entire demonic faction qualified to participate in the final scheme of their Four Symbols Demonic Sect - the Mysterious Beginning Demon Lord.

Although that person appeared to be only at the late Nascent Soul stage, the elders and other high-ranking members of the Four Symbols Demon Sect all knew that his abilities and strength were terrifying, no less than those of a peak late Nascent Soul stage expert from the outside world.

All of this needs no further proof.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi, would you be willing to appear with me?"

The Demon Eater Sect's Grand Elder, the Devourer of the Underworld, spoke at the same time.

"Of course, as a member of the Northern Demon Realm, I and the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce will do our utmost!"

As Li Xuan took the initiative to express his opinion, the four elders all smiled.

In this world where great cultivators live in seclusion, the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage is the decisive force. With this person's addition, their demonic faction will naturally become much stronger.

More importantly, this way, the Four Symbols Demonic Sect does not need to be fully exposed, thus preventing more variables from arising.

After all, once all four Demonic Sects appear, not only will the entire cultivation world of the Eastern Star Profound Sea unite, but other outer seas and even the inner star sea may also get involved in this war.

"Since that's the case, then it's settled. In this battle, I and Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi will appear first, Brother Sen Gu will be ready to join the fray at any time, and as for Brother Qiong Xue and Brother Xu Xiang, they will continue to stay behind and observe the situation."

Just as everyone was discussing the final battle plan.

Located in a corner of the main hall, Zang Quan, wearing a mask, was also experiencing turmoil in his heart.

What he was seeing was something he had never imagined.

He never expected that there was more than one top-level demonic force hidden within the Northern Demon Realm. The terrifying demonic sect that seemingly controlled the entire Northern Demon Realm, the Demon Food Sect, was actually just one of the so-called Four Symbols Demonic Sects.

"With the four ancient and terrifying demonic sects joining forces, they are fully capable of changing the entire world order of the Eastern Star Profound Sea."

Just then, from the depths of my mind, another excited voice also rang out.

"I never imagined this demonic faction would be so powerful! Ha! The stronger they are, the greater the catastrophe they will cause!"

"My dearest master, an endless stream of opportunities for the power of death awaits you!"

"You only need to continue following this powerful demon by your side, and in time you will surely be able to advance to the Great Cultivator realm more quickly."

At this moment, Zang Quan did not ignore the voice in his mind, and at the same time, a sense of confusion and bewilderment arose in his heart.

To be honest, he never expected that the mysterious and terrifying Xuan Shi Demon Lord would take the initiative to involve him in such a major event that would affect the landscape of the Eastern Star Profound Sea.

It should be noted that his relationship with the other party was at most a cooperative one. Although he had joined the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce, he was free to come and go as he pleased.

Under these circumstances, the other party trusted him so much that, knowing he did not belong to the demonic faction, they still took the initiative to expose such a secret matter as the Four Symbols Demonic Sect to him.

"Isn't he afraid that I'll secretly reveal the existence of the Four Symbols Demonic Sect to the outside world?"

Even now, the cultivation world of Dongxing Xuanhai is unaware of the existence of the Four Symbols Demon Sect, let alone the cultivation world outside.

Once he reveals the matter of the Four Symbols Demonic Sect, it will surely cause a sensation throughout the world and introduce many variables into this impending great war.

Just as Zang Quan was racking his brains trying to figure out the reason.

Li Xuan, who was standing to the side, had already stood up with a smile: "Now that it has been decided, I will wait for the instructions and arrangements of the elders!"

Li Xuan, filled with unanswered questions, took his leave and departed the main hall.

The discussions within the Demon Palace were concluded.

Orders began to be issued to every corner of the vast demonic army.

"The revival of the demonic path is an inevitable trend of heaven and earth!"

"The western seas and lands should belong to our demonic faction!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The three "kill" orders fell like decrees from heaven and earth, completely igniting the entire demonic army.

call!call!
In an instant, a raging torrent of demonic clouds, blotting out the sky, began to descend upon the vast, dazzling sea of ​​spiritual light ahead.
The cataclysmic event that would determine the entire landscape of the Eastern Star Profound Sea was about to erupt.

The vast demonic army, like dragons, charged towards the various key points of the Spirit Sea Array.

A corner of the central battlefield.

Huge demonic ships bearing the black banner of 'Xuan Shi' floated silently.

On each of the demonic ships stood numerous figures radiating immense demonic pressure.

On the leading, pitch-black, imposing demonic ship.

"Go!" Li Xuan ordered.

"As ordered!"

Three respectfully kneeling figures slowly rose. The one in the lead was tall and wore a pale white robe with bone patterns; he was none other than the current head of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce's Hall of Worship—the Skeleton Demon Lord. "Your subordinate will certainly live up to the Chairman's orders and lead the entire Hall of Worship to achieve great merit for the Chamber of Commerce!"

After making his statement again, the Skeleton Demon Lord took his leave along with the other two vice hall masters who were at the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

One after another, demonic ships bearing the black banner of 'Xuan Shi' began to enter the battlefield.

"Should I secretly follow and protect the Hall of Worship's actions?"

Zangquan spoke up from the side.

As the strongest high-end combat force of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce, if Gongfeng Hall is severely damaged, it will still affect the development of the Chamber of Commerce.

Over the years, he has used the power of the Chamber of Commerce in various ways, but so far he has not done anything for the Chamber. This statement is also because he feels a little embarrassed.

"No need!"

Li Xuan's eyes revealed a hint of casualness: "Fellow Daoist Zangquan, you may simply wait with me for the upcoming decisive battle!"

The influence of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce has now spread throughout the entire demonic path. Even if the entire Hall of Offerings is wiped out, it can quickly replenish itself. As long as it exists, countless demonic cultivators will want to attach themselves to the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that after this battle, more and more powerful demonic cultivators will choose to join the Xuan Shi Merchant Guild.

Because he will take action again to prove the prestige of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce.

In Li Xuan's eyes, what he truly valued were the elders who, despite their weak cultivation, possessed strong minds and were responsible for the specific affairs of the Chamber of Commerce.

As for the hired 'thugs' of the ancestral hall, whether they fall or not is unimportant.

Just then, Zangquan couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the guild leader afraid that my identity will be exposed if I make a move?"

"Exposure?"

A slight smile appeared on Li Xuan's lips: "So what?"

"Fellow Daoist Zangquan is a Supreme Elder of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce. Who would dare to say anything against him?"

In this world, everything is based on strength, not to mention the even more brutal and direct rules and order of the demonic path.

Even if it is discovered that Zangquan is not a demonic cultivator, it doesn't matter. As long as he is there, there is no need for explanation, and even the Four Symbols Demonic Sect will not interfere.

This is also where the advantage of the demonic faction lies: it doesn't care about superficial good and evil, or etiquette and order.

"Isn't the guild leader worried that I'll reveal the secrets of the demonic faction?"

Zangquan finally asked the question that had been on his mind.

"I only seek the Great Dao!"

Li Xuan's deep, demonic eyes gazed at the brutal war that had broken out in the distant sea.

As far as the eye could see, countless demonic cultivators perished beneath every wave of black demonic tides, and similarly, countless immortal cultivators were reduced to ashes behind every collapse of the spiritual light of heaven and earth.

The screams and resentment had long been drowned out by the roar of war, leaving only that ever-deepening sea of ​​blood.

The revival of the demonic path was merely an opportunity he pursued; he didn't care about the ultimate fate of the demonic faction.

If the Four Symbols Demon Sect is severely damaged, it might actually help him with his next plans.

On the Demon Ship.

Li Xuan and Zang Quan stood quietly, their eyes fixed on the increasingly fierce battle between heaven and earth in the distance.

Every advance and retreat that influenced the entire battle came at the cost of the fall of vast armies.

As time passed, the battlefield between heaven and earth grew increasingly fierce. The surging demonic tide and the rolling torrent of spiritual light were like two colossal beasts of heaven and earth constantly battling, unable to gain the upper hand.

The sacrifice of countless demonic troops allowed Li Xuan and others, who were in charge of the rear and truly determined the course of the war, to gradually grasp the situation of the entire Heaven and Earth Array at the front.

With all the outer array eyes of the Heaven and Earth Array in the battlefield removed, the real decisive battle is about to begin.

"Let's go, it's time for us to make our move!"

"What does the chairman intend for me to do?"

Before taking action, Zangquan asked the core question of the battle.

His true strength was known to the other party, and he was also very clear about the terrifying strength of the person beside him, which was approaching the level of a great cultivator.

"A normal move!"

Li Xuan's face remained calm: "You only need to follow my instructions when I need you!"

"it is good!"

Zang Quan nodded.

To avoid his true identity being discovered by the cultivation world of Dongxing Xuanhai, he had already made preparations, and the gray mask on his face was his means of concealment.

The next moment, the two of them simultaneously emerged from behind, transforming into two long rainbows that pierced the sky.

at the same time.

Demonic rainbows, each radiating a majestic and imposing aura, shot into the sky from various corners of the rear and entered the battlefield.

Behind the Great Array of Heaven and Earth on the other side, inside a magnificent earthen-yellow palace.

"It's finally here!"

Inside the main hall, five figures sat quietly. The Grand Elder of the Heavenly Vein Sect, who should have been the one in control of the entire war between heaven and earth, sat on the upper left, while the leader was a tall, thin old man dressed in a black and white Taoist robe.

"Based on the information we have, the only one openly recognized within the demonic faction is the Grand Elder of the Demonic Devouring Sect, who possesses a cultivation level at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage!"

The tall, thin old man in the black and white Taoist robe calmly said, "But the other mysterious Xuan Shi Demon Lord should not be underestimated. He came from the Ghost King Sect of the Haoming Demon Domain in the Southern Moon Sea. He was once the most outstanding demonic prodigy. Now that he has entered the late Nascent Soul stage, he has the strength to approach the peak of the late stage!"

"The only thing we need to guard against is other top-tier demonic forces within the Northern Demon Realm that may not yet have made their public debut."

The middle-aged man in red robes with piercing eyes, seated on the right, said with a cold glint in his eyes: "Regardless of the circumstances, we hold an absolute advantage in this battle!"

"This battle will surely cause the entire Northern Demon Realm to collapse completely, and shatter its ambition to continue expanding in one fell swoop."

The tall, thin old man in the black and white Taoist robe nodded: "I doubt they could have predicted that the entire cultivation world of the Eastern Star Profound Sea would be able to gather here today!"

"The first battle is the final battle!"

The next moment, the tall, thin old man looked at the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Vein Sect on his left: "Fellow Daoist Fumai, proceed according to plan!"

"To lure them into the formation, and to prevent them from becoming suspicious, Fellow Daoist Chiyun will feign a final appearance."

The Grand Elder of the Heavenly Vein Sect slowly rose and bowed to everyone, saying, "Thank you, Grand Elder Ziji and fellow Daoists, for coming to help. On behalf of the Heavenly Vein Sect, I express my deepest gratitude!"

"Brother Fumai, there's no need for such formalities!"

Elder Ziji gently shook his head: "The Northern Demon Realm is not only a threat to the Heavenly Vein Sect, but also a major hidden danger to the entire Eastern Star Profound Sea cultivation world!"

"If this battle can decide the fate of the world, it will be a blessing for the entire cultivation world of the Eastern Star Profound Sea!"

The man in red robes with tiger-like eyes standing to the side also stood up.

"Fellow Daoist Fumai, please show yourself first. I will arrive shortly after. After this battle, there will be no more Northern Demon Realm."
