My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

Soaring through the air, it transformed into a streak of emerald green sword light, sweeping across the sky above the sect.

Looking up into the distance, one can see that the places that have just been bathed in blood rain are all stained with a faint aura of bloodlust.

The cultivators are alright; they can temporarily resist the erosion of the bloodthirsty aura.

However, ordinary plants and animals do not have this ability. Centered on the sect, everything in sight is tinged with a light red.

Within Qingdi City, ordinary people became increasingly irritable.

Ordinary people who were previously suppressed by cultivators now feel a slight pressure from them. The bloodthirsty aura in their eyes cloudes their minds, making them dare to resist even when they know they are no match, like moths to a flame.

If this continues, the Azure Emperor Sword Sect will collapse from within without the Tiger Fiend Sect even needing to attack.

The damage caused by that rain of blood didn't stop there.

As the blood rain falls, the area within the Azure Emperor Sword Sect's territory will gradually turn into a ferocious land, where ordinary creatures simply cannot survive.

At that time, it might become a paradise for demons.

Watching everything unfold around the sect, Gu Qing couldn't help but think to himself, "Is this why Su Changge made up his mind to initiate the war and tear open the blood-red sky?"

"We can't delay any longer. If we do, the entire Azure Emperor Sword Sect will be destroyed."

Looking at the thick, blood-red sky above, Gu Qing could imagine how many cultivators inside and outside the sect were uneasy and how many had already considered surrendering.

"If it weren't for the unexpected turn of events with the blood-red sky, continuing this process might have offered a turning point for the Azure Emperor Sword Sect."

"With my ability to refine the Purifying Spirit Pill and the Mind-Concentrating Exorcising Pill, if all the disciples at the tenth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm that the Azure Emperor Sword Sect has cultivated over the years were to risk their lives to break through to the Golden Core Realm, one or two of them would surely succeed."

"If there were just one or two more Golden Core cultivators, the current situation would be reversed."

"What a pity..."

As long as the blood-red canopy in the sky continues to accumulate blood-fiend energy, the difficulty for the Azure Emperor Sword Sect to maintain its rule will increase exponentially.

Every now and then a bloodbath occurs, making it impossible to manage.

"Therefore, this blood-red sky must be broken, on the one hand to stabilize people's hearts and boost morale."

"On the other hand, the sect is also able to use the surrounding two hundred miles to cultivate various plants with immortal techniques, providing the most basic survival supplies for the large population gathered in the sect."

"However... breaking through the blood-red sky barrier will probably not be easy."

Gu Qing flew over the sect.

They soon discovered that within the sect, the Foundation Establishment stage stewards of the Pill Pavilion and Weapon Pavilion were directing groups of Qi Refining stage disciples to distribute various war resources, such as pills, talismans, and magical artifacts, stored in the sect's reserves to the disciples participating in the battle.

Watching the sect prepare for war with all its might, it felt like a caged beast, sharpening its claws and conserving its strength, ready to retaliate fiercely against its enemies once it found an opportunity.

only……

Such a large-scale operation by the Azure Emperor Sword Sect could not possibly be kept secret from the Tiger Fiend Sect outside the Crimson Sky Curtain. The enemy must have planted spies within Azure Emperor City, or even within the Azure Emperor Sword Sect itself.

soon.

Gu Qing arrived at the entrance of the main hall on the main peak.

Upon seeing Gu Qing arrive,

The entire hall fell silent.

Currently, within the entire Azure Emperor Sword Sect, Su Changge is undoubtedly the leader, while Gu Qing is, unsurprisingly, the second most important person in the entire sect.

In fact, to some extent, Gu Qing represents the future of the sect; at least, that's what some of the sect's deacons think.

"Elder Gu, you've arrived."

Gu Qing walked to the front of the main hall, and Su Changge greeted him.

"yes!"

"Given the current situation, if we don't step in now, those tiger-shaped beastmen from the Tiger Fiend Sect might take advantage of us."

"good."

"Just give it more time."

Su Changge looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through the dome of the hall. After a slight sigh, he continued:

"The next battle is crucial to the survival of our sect."

"If we can tear open the blood-red sky curtain, we will still have a chance. If we cannot, we will become fish in a barrel, at the mercy of the Tiger Fiend Sect."

"At that time, of the more than ten thousand disciples in the sect, less than one in a hundred will survive, or even none at all."

Inside the main hall.

Upon hearing this, the deacons hesitated, wanting to cheer on their sect leader or even offer words of comfort, but they didn't know where to begin.

Looking at Su Changge, Gu Qing asked:

"metropolitan."

"Are you confident you can tear open the blood-red sky?"

Battle formations are not simply a battle between two people, but rather a battle with a focus on tactical and strategic objectives.

The Azure Emperor Sword Sect's purpose in launching this war is to tear open the curtain of heaven.

"I'm about 80% sure!"

"The Grade 3 Three-Spirit Pattern Insect Soul Condensation Pill you refined not only helped me get rid of the Nine-Headed Soul-Devouring Poison, but also helped me condense an ancient ferocious insect clone."

"This clone possesses the combat power of the Golden Core Realm."

"If I join forces with my clone, we can kill the Tiger Fiend Sect Master if we find the right opportunity."

Before Su Changge finished speaking, many of the other stewards in the hall showed long-lost smiles on their faces.

Unexpectedly, the sect leader actually condensed a Golden Core level clone.

Two against one, the advantage lies with us.

When Gu Qing heard this, his heart sank. This was clearly a reckless fighting style.

They had no idea what kind of immortal array technique was used to create that blood-red sky curtain.

be honest.

When Gu Qing first saw the blood-red sky outside the sect, he was slightly startled, because the technology used in the blood-red sky had a very obvious resemblance to the technology of the Immortal Kingdom.

Unlike things that can be concocted natively in this world.

After Gu Qing comprehended the ten profound mysteries of the wood attribute and condensed a wood attribute domain, he became even more certain of this.

If we follow Su Changge's plan and go out and wreak havoc tomorrow, it will not only fail to solve the problem, but will also make the blood-red sky above the sect even more troublesome.

"Sect Master, please hear me out."

Gu Qing interrupted the excited discussion among the other stewards in the main hall and looked at Su Changge.

"Um?!"

"Elder Gu, is there something amiss?"

Seeing Gu Qing's solemn expression, Su Changge asked, puzzled.

"There is a problem."

"As you all know, the blood-red sky above is a domain space simulated by an array. To break through this blood-red sky, you must break through the domain space."

"Otherwise, read 'Cultivating Immortality with Equipment: I Start by Slaughtering Through Small Worlds' and enjoy your reading time. Even if you kill one or two Tiger Fiend Sect Masters and all the Tiger Fiend Sect disciples, you still won't be able to tear open that blood-red curtain in the sky."

"Moreover, the more people fight and the more lives die in this space, the stronger the blood-red canopy in the sky will become."

Gu Qing briefly explained to everyone the simulated domain space array set up by the Tiger Fiend Sect, outlining its characteristics and advantages.

The explanation was so detailed that few of the Foundation Establishment deacons present could understand it.

Elder Gu.

"How do you know the origin of the Tiger Fiend Sect's Crimson Sky Curtain Array? Have you seen it before?"

Humans cannot imagine things beyond their own perception.

Even cultivators are no exception.

Seeing that Gu Qing knew so much about the details of the blood-red sky curtain array, one of the stewards became suspicious.

"hehe."

Gu Qing chuckled upon hearing this, and then with a slight thought, a beam of emerald green light spread out in all directions from Gu Qing as the center.

To everyone's astonishment, drops of blood-red rainwater began to gush from the ground around the main hall.

"Isn't this the blood rain that just fell from the crimson sky?"

"How can the blood rain flow backwards and emerge from the ground?"

Thousands upon thousands of blood-red raindrops floated in mid-air. Gu Qing silently chanted a command to dispel them, and under everyone's watchful eyes, these blood-red raindrops transformed into wisps of blood-red malevolent energy and disappeared near the main hall on the main peak.

"Elder Gu, what's going on?"

"What is that emerald green light surrounding you? Why can it evaporate those blood-red raindrops?"

Sweeping across the world with emerald green light, the world was filled with vitality and life. Everyone felt refreshed, and wisps of emerald green wood-elemental spiritual energy were extremely active, actively entering their bodies.

"This is the domain."

"The effect is similar to the blood-red sky above."

"The difference is that the domain I condense is of the wood attribute, while the blood-red sky is modeled after the profound domain of the blood attribute."

"The dispersal of that blood rain was a basic application of the domain."

"field!"

"Is this the power of domain?"

Gu Qing merely displayed the power of his domain, yet the numerous Foundation Establishment deacons present felt an immense gap between heaven and earth.

Within Gu Qing's Wood Domain, they could not sense any other spiritual energy.

If Gu Qing becomes an opponent.

Perhaps, Gu Qing could kill them in the blink of an eye.

For no apparent reason, many Foundation Establishment deacons looked at Gu Qing with a hint of awe.

Just as everyone fell silent, Ye Zhi Qiu, whose hair was completely white, stepped forward, bowed to Gu Qing, and said, "Elder Gu, it seems that the domain can suppress the blood-red sky curtain array outside the sect."

"Is it possible to extend the reach of this domain's power?"

"If most people in the sect could master the power of a domain..."

Gu Qing shook his head and interrupted:

"Deacon Ye, it's not that I'm unwilling to impart domain power. Cultivating domain power is simple in some ways, but difficult in others."

"If any of you here can comprehend the fundamental mysteries of ten of the same attribute, you will automatically condense the power of your domain."

Gu Qing finished speaking.

In an instant, the entire hall became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared at Gu Qing in disbelief, including Su Changge.

They also cultivate profound powers, but most of them only cultivate one or two basic profound powers. Even Su Changge, who is in the Golden Core Realm, only cultivates four basic profound powers.

"Ten kinds!"

"The profound mystery of the same attribute..."

After a long while, someone murmured.

They were so shocked by the news that they saw Gu Qing as a monster. How could anyone do that?

It feels like a fairy tale.

"Ahem!"

Su Changge coughed lightly at the front of the hall to draw everyone's attention back, then said to Gu Qing:

"Elder Gu, now that you have mastered the wood-attribute domain, do you have a way to deal with the crimson sky curtain?"

"As long as we can break through the array and restriction field set up by the Tiger Fiend Sect, we will fully cooperate with Elder Gu's operation in three days. Just tell me what you need, and I, Su Changge, will accept your orders."

Upon hearing this, the other Foundation Establishment deacons present all turned their heads in surprise.

The sect leader's words were quite profound; he had essentially entrusted Elder Gu with the very responsibility for the sect's survival.

Can Elder Gu withstand this immense pressure?

Inside the main hall, all eyes were fixed on Gu Qing, hoping for a positive answer.

"The array-based imitation domain space used by the opponent is not without weaknesses."

"This array restriction technology still uses traditional array plates and array bases as the core of the array restriction space. As long as the core node of the opponent's array is broken, the blood-red sky can be torn apart."

Since the appearance of the Crimson Sky Curtain, Gu Qing has been studying the technology used in the Crimson Sky Curtain Array.

Fortunately, the person who set up the formation was not a cultivator from the Immortal Kingdom.

If a cultivator from the Immortal Kingdom were to set up a digital analysis array, Gu Qing, with his current mastery of array formations, would be unable to break through the array covering a radius of two hundred miles.

It can only be said that the cultivators who use the Crimson Sky Curtain Array are completely ignorant of the array techniques of the Immortal Kingdom.

"Sect Master, and all the deacons."

"The battle will begin in three days. If we can infiltrate the core areas of the Crimson Sky Curtain Array, such as its array plate and base, I am confident that I can seize control of the Crimson Sky Curtain Array."

"Even if we can't gain control, at the very least we can destroy it."

Based on the information obtained from the previous analysis of the Crimson Sky Curtain Array, Gu Qing addressed the group.

Seeing that Gu Qing was confident in breaking the formation,

Subsequent battle plans revolved around Gu Qing breaking through the formation, and the entire battle plan was continuously improved.

at the same time.

According to the battle plan, the many deacons began to lead the sect disciples to prepare for war within the sect. Once the war started, each deacon would have his own corresponding task.

The prelude to war has begun.

It wasn't until three days later.

The gates of the Azure Emperor Sword Sect opened, and figures riding swords filed out of the gates, soaring into the sky and entering the crimson sky curtain, heading towards the base of the crimson sky curtain array.

Amidst the astonished gazes of numerous independent cultivators in Qingdi City, this decisive battle commenced.

The Azure Emperor Sword Sect didn't even notify them to participate in the war.

Many people were surprised.

Some people hidden among the eight major families looked at the streaks of sword light in the sky, their eyes gleaming.

Boom...

A dazzling sword light tore through the blood-red sky.

"Su Changge!!"
