The Rise of the Sect: I am the most persistent person in the world of immortal cultivation

The sea breeze, carrying demonic energy, rushed towards Ye Yang, only to be shredded by the sharp sword light emanating from the blade three feet away.

He gazed at the circular fortress ahead, constructed of magic crystals and bones.

At that moment, the massive castle emitted a muffled hum.

Although the demonic patterns on the city wall had dimmed somewhat due to the death of the Demon Bone Immortal, they still coiled around the roots of the spiritual root like venomous snakes.

"Keeping this fortress around will only bring trouble in the end."

Qingyun Sanren frowned as he looked at the magic crystal crossbows aimed at the spirit ship atop the fortress.

"The walls of this fortress are mixed with abyssal obsidian, making it difficult for ordinary treasures to break through. A forced attack would likely damage one's spiritual root."

Ye Yang lightly stroked the spine of the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword with his fingertips.

The dragon patterns on it seemed to come alive, emitting a deep dragon roar.

Ye Yang did not answer, but slowly raised his hand.

The next moment, the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword suddenly burst forth with a hundred-foot-long azure light.

The dragon patterns on the sword fully unfurled, transforming into a lifelike azure dragon that coiled and soared into the sky.

The surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be instantly drained away.

Even the golden flames and silver radiance emanating from the two spiritual roots dimmed, merging entirely into the soaring azure sword light.

"go."

He gave a soft shout and flicked his wrist slightly.

That azure sword light, condensed with countless spiritual energies of heaven and earth and the power of refining the void.

Like a sharp blade cleaving through chaos, it brought with it the power to tear apart the sky and crashed down on the ring-shaped fortress!

Where the sword flashed, the air was torn into countless fragments, emitting a piercing shriek.

Even the sea surface was cleaved into a deep trench.

At this moment, on the vast East China Sea, the black seawater surged and receded to both sides.

The magic runes on the fortress seemed to sense a deadly threat and instantly erupted with dense black mist.

A huge black barrier formed around the fortress.

The barrier was covered with twisted runes, and countless vengeful demon souls could be faintly seen howling within it.

It exuded a terrifying pressure that could make even a Nascent Soul cultivator tremble.

It would take an ordinary cultivator at the Void Refinement stage at least several hours to break through.

However, at the instant the cyan sword light collided with the black barrier...

But there was no earth-shattering noise, only a crisp "crack" sound.

Like shattered glass, the seemingly indestructible barrier was instantly pierced by the sword light!

Countless magical runes shattered inch by inch in the sword light, turning into specks of black ash and dissipating.

Countless wronged souls screaming within the barrier were purified by the demon-dispelling power within the sword light, letting out a liberated wail.

The sword light moved with unstoppable force, continuing its slash towards the fortress.

"boom!"

Followed by.

A deafening roar echoed across the sea.

The ring-shaped fortress, which was a hundred feet tall and made of countless magic crystals and bones, was instantly cleaved in two by the sword light, creating a huge crack!

Black fragments of the wall, mixed with magic crystal shards, flew everywhere, instantly turning the magic crystal ballistae on the city wall into scrap metal.

The demonic patterns wrapped around the roots of the spirit root were completely dissolved the moment the sword light swept across, leaving not a trace.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye, and when the smoke cleared, everyone was shocked to discover what had happened.

The ring-shaped fortress has been split open, the cut surface as smooth as a mirror, revealing the pitch-black cross-section inside.

However, the two spiritual roots of heaven and earth located in the center of the fortress were completely unharmed!

Only a few golden hibiscus leaves and silver laurel petals turned into specks of blue light and dissipated into the air.

"This...this is incredible control!"

The sect leader of the Blazing Fire Sect stared at the sword mark that had precisely avoided the spiritual root, speechless with astonishment. To sever a fortress with such terrifying power, yet remain completely unharmed by the spiritual root so close at hand—this level of control over the primordial spirit's power had reached the realm of returning to simplicity.

Qingyun Sanren also flew over, clicking his tongue in amazement.

"Fellow Daoist Ye's Heaven-Splitting Sword Qi is incredibly powerful and extraordinary. Even when the Heaven-Splitting Sword Sect was still around, no more than three people could unleash such sword qi."

After he finished speaking, a hint of apprehension appeared in his eyes.

His eyes narrowed, especially when he saw the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword in Ye Yang's hand.

The patterns on the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword trembled slightly.

Even without exerting much force, a slight tremor still sent countless sword energies flying out from all around, seemingly about to tear space apart.

It turned out to be a rare, high-grade Dao artifact.

Dao artifacts are rare; even ordinary primordial spirit Dao artifacts represent the culmination of everyone's life's efforts.

Not to mention top-grade Dao artifacts.

Although this Dao Ancestor Ye had only recently broken through to the Void Refinement Realm, and was still in the early stages of Void Refinement.

However, with such a high-grade Dao artifact in hand, even an ordinary mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator would be able to overcome it.

They are still no match for them.

"Fellow Taoist is so complimentary."

Ye Yang slowly sheathed his sword, and the azure light on the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword gradually faded, leaving only faint dragon patterns flowing along the spine of the sword.

He gazed at the fortress that had been split open and calmly gave instructions to those behind him.

"Clear out the remaining demons and seize the fortress."

"Yes!"

As soon as Ye Yang finished speaking, a deafening response rang out from the twelve spirit ships.

The cultivators of the Flying Heaven Sect took the lead, with Huo Bing Shuang holding the array flag and directing thirty True Person Realm cultivators to form a diamond formation.

The magical artifact, wreathed in azure light, gleamed coldly in the sunlight, like a torrent of azure water rushing toward the breach in the fortress.

Gu Xuan took the lead, drawing a crimson arc with his Crimson Blood Blade, cleaving a demon leader who was trying to put up a stubborn resistance in two.

Black blood splattered on his robes, but was instantly evaporated by the surging blood energy around him.

The cultivators behind him formed a sword array, the crimson blades gleaming in unison.

Wherever they went, the remaining demon soldiers were either killed or knelt down begging for mercy, unable to withstand this unstoppable offensive.

Meanwhile, within the Qingyun Sect, Qingyun Sanren gave an order.

The twenty True Person Realm cultivators quickly dispersed, their jade rulers pointing towards the sky.

Countless cyan array patterns shot out from the jade ruler, weaving together in the air to form a huge magic net that enveloped the entire fortress.

Those demon cultivators who attempted to escape through the gaps in the fortress would be instantly annihilated and turned into a wisp of black smoke once they touched the net of law.

Although the cultivators of Hundred Flowers Valley are not known for their combat prowess, they played an important role at this moment.

The Valley Master held a snow lotus in his hand. The moment the snow lotus bloomed, countless white petals fell down and landed on the injured cultivators, and their wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In an instant, flames soared into the sky, and screams and pleas for mercy rose and fell.

After the monks stormed into the fortress, they immediately began to systematically eliminate the remaining demons.

In no time, they had gained an absolute advantage.

Soon, Huo Bing Shuang and the others discovered a huge prison cell containing hundreds of human cultivators.

Most of these cultivators were dressed in rags and looked listless, but they still had some aura about them.

"Quickly! Open the cell door!"

Upon seeing this, Huo Bing Shuang immediately gave the order.

Currently, they only have a general understanding of the situation in the Demon Realm.

They urgently need someone familiar with the situation to inform them of all the information.

As the prison doors opened, the imprisoned cultivators rushed out and kowtowed to the Flying Heaven Sect cultivators in gratitude. (End of Chapter)
