Chapter 879 - 879: Just a Coward
In the stone forest, sand and stones flew wildly.
Illusions appeared one after another, walking towards Li Muyang.
Yet Li Muyang remained unfazed.
The power of this array was mainly used to sustain the obstacles within the Ancient Grievance Well, rendering it powerless against the disturbances from outside forces.
According to Miao Fengjun’s narration, breaking this grand array is quite simple.
The Array Breaker would activate the array with his own power and then defeat all the Array Protectors that manifested within it.
Because it is activated with the Array Breaker’s own power, the manifested illusions have the same cultivation level as the Array Breaker.
Currently, Li Muyang is at the Heavenly Eternal Realm, so the illusions that appear are also at the early stage of the Heavenly Eternal Realm.
He needs to defeat these illusions that share his cultivation level, but each has different Divine Skills.
The difficulty is high, but not insurmountable.
Gazing at the first illusion approaching through the stone forest, Li Muyang sneered coldly and drew out the array flag rushing toward it.
During the array-breaking process, Li Muyang, who activated the array with his own power, became the array’s core, and the array flag was his weapon.
The stone forest erupted into a fierce battle.
…
Within the cold and deathly silent Demon Sword City, no sound could be heard.
In the secret realm of the city, on an altar shrouded in deathly aura, the array flag fluttered as Fairy Qinghe, her gaze vacant, stood before the altar, performing the soul summoning ritual.
However, the moment the array flag within the Ancient Grievance Well was pulled out, Fairy Qinghe’s body suddenly froze.
A second later, she slowly turned her head, looking into the distance.
A glimmer of confusion seemed to flash through the hollow eyes of the woman.
Yet before this shimmering emotion could solidify, a sudden cold gleam flashed out from the shadows surrounding the altar.
Fairy Qinghe, lost in thought, immediately turned, looking coldly toward the direction of the sudden gleam.
She saw a masterless flying sword slashing directly at her, with the sword’s body brimming with immense power.
In almost an instant, this silent yet swift assassination flying sword reached Fairy Qinghe.
Such a swift and silent assassination was difficult to guard against, even for a True Immortal.
Fairy Qinghe frowned and retreated rapidly, yet still, a shallow wound appeared on her cheek.
As the blood dripped down, the scar on her jade-like white face healed silently.
However, Fairy Qinghe’s eyes became filled with a murderous aura.
“…Otherworldly Demon God!”
She raised her hand and moved all the array flags on the altar, and instantly, the soul summoning altar in this secret realm transformed into a Killing Array.
A chilling murderous aura rose from the altar, fiercely clashing with the sinister flying sword.
…
Over the sea, the mist was scattered with a roar under the glow of the Yin Life Book.
Giant as a mountain, the emerald blade of the mantis, bearing dozens of figures, emerged from the Misty Sea and landed on the shore.
An unfamiliar continent appeared before the Sword Cultivators of the Mysterious Sword Sect.
At the moment of stepping onto the land, the Sword Cultivators frowned one after another.
“…The Evil Qi here is so intense!”
“And the nature’s spiritual energy is incredibly chaotic.”
“Mu Yang said that the cultivators here focus on resources and pills, neglecting mental cultivation and Dao comprehension, constantly embroiled in conflict with one another… Yet even so, the Evil Qi of this world is overwhelming.”
This group of Sword Cultivators, from the Tianyuan Continent and practicing ancient cultivation methods, felt a great shock upon stepping onto this chaotic and tumultuous land.
Such chaotic spiritual energy, such fierce Evil Qi, it was as if a riot of demons.
The most chaotic times on the Tianyuan Continent were never this terrifying, were they?
On this vast land, fear must be the rampant haunt of endless demons, evil spirits, and evil cultivators.
“Come, let us go to Jiuyuan City and find Muyang’s sister.”
Before leaving, Li Muyang had given everyone’s instructions.
Upon arriving in the Cultivation World, they were to immediately head to Jiuyuan City to see Li Yuechan.
Yu Chan was currently gathering power, assembling all available pills to give the Sword Cultivators a minor shock of the Cultivation World.
However, not long after the enormous emerald-bladed mantis left the coastline, the Sword Cultivators atop its head frowned.
“Who dares sneak around! Reveal yourself at once!”
The senior brother Shi Chen of the Mysterious Sword Sect snorted coldly, and the sword on his back was drawn with a clang, slashing directly towards a mountain several kilometers away.
The air above that mountain suddenly twisted, and a figure screamed miserably as it was cut down, with blood spurting forth.
Behind the falling corpse, ambushers hidden in the mountain ridge emerged in droves.
They were shocked and furious, not expecting one of their Heavenly Eternal Realm practitioners to be instantly killed!
But as the air continued to twist in the wilderness, vicious cultivators appeared in the vision of the Mysterious Sword Sect members.
Seeing the seemingly endless human wave of chaos, the Sword Cultivators frowned.
“…Did these people know we were coming and set up an ambush in advance?”
Though knowing little about the Cultivation World, from the dress and aura of these cultivators, it was clear they were not from the same sect or force.
Instead, they came from over a dozen different sects and forces, both righteous and demonic factions mixed.
Yet now they were simultaneously launching an assault on the Sword Cultivators of the Mysterious Sword Sect.
Atop the enormous emerald-bladed mantis, the Sword Cultivators of the Mysterious Sword Sect snorted coldly, drawing their flying swords one after another.
In an instant, the sharp and cold Sword Qi danced wildly over the wilderness.
The Sword Cultivators of the Mysterious Sword Sect formed a massive Sword Array, instantly blocking all ambush attacks.
The ambushed cultivators were numerous, yet they appeared to be nothing more than a ragtag assembly before the Mysterious Sword Sect’s Sword Cultivators.
The senior brother of the Sword Sect snorted coldly: “This is the handiwork of the Otherworldly Demon God… It seems the Deep Space Temple knew we were coming and set up an ambush in advance!”
Senior brother Shi Chen’s sharp gaze looked into the distance, where in a mountain over a dozen li away, a shadowy figure flashed and disappeared.
That shadowy figure hadn’t expected Shi Chen’s insight to be so keen—it hid so cautiously and at such a distance, yet was still noticed.
The fleeting shadow revealed to Shi Chen an aura that made him loathe it.
It was akin to the sinister demon god his master had slain in the past while he followed him.
The Otherworldly Demon Gods of the Tianyuan Continent were all slain by their master, yet on the Cultivation World side, these demon gods sat high above, even constructing a Deep Space Temple in outer space to evade the power of the Heaven and Earth Seal.
Shi Chen coldly snorted: “With the Heaven and Earth Seal unbroken, lacking overwhelming power, these cowardly guys dare not show themselves and only send minions to act.”
“With such cowardly nature, even having the power of demon gods, they are still not worthy!”
Over the wilderness, Sword Qi crisscrossed.
Suddenly, the emergence of the Otherworldly Demon God mobilized the cultivation sects of the mortal world, rallying forces from over a dozen sects of both righteous and demonic factions to jointly attempt to eliminate the Sword Cultivators of the Mysterious Sword Sect.
Meanwhile, Li Muyang, rapidly flying in high altitude, also halted his steps.
He was originally chasing the corpse of Prince Zhao, intending to stop him from awakening more celestial corpses.
But at this moment, he halted in the wilderness, seeing around him figures of fierce celestial corpses slowly emerging with blood-red eyes.
And behind these celestial corpses, controlled by special power, in the forest over a dozen li away, a shadowy figure watched coldly at Li Muyang’s body.
Apparently, it’s the one awakening and resurrecting these celestial corpses.
Taking note of the situation of the original body, Li Muyang within the Ancient Grievance Well narrowed his eyes.
“The Otherworldly Demon God finally made their move, huh…”
These guys eventually couldn’t hold back and attempted to do something before the Heaven and Earth Seal was broken.
But they dare not show up, unwilling to risk anything, for now, the Heaven and Earth Seal remains unbroken, preventing them from exerting demon-god-level power.
Hence, they are mobilizing the Deep Space Temple’s buried power within the mortal world…
At this moment, Li Muyang laughed coldly, expressing the same sentiment as the Mysterious Sword Sect’s senior brother.
“A bunch of cowardly cowards! Even with the power of demon gods, they can never become true divinities!”
