"Taoist Friend Shangguan is truly perceptive!"
A sigh of admiration followed.
Then, a Jade Crown Taoist wearing a reddish-brown robe stepped gracefully from the void.
Seeing this figure, Xi Lingbo and Chao Wentao promptly paid their respects:
"Welcome, Tao Temple Master."
Other Jin Immortal Ascension cultivators also lifted their hands in salute, showing their respect.
"Greetings to the Tao Temple Master Tai A."
The Jade Crown Taoist nodded slightly in return.
Then he looked to the other side.
Two figures, one in front of the other, materialized from the void.
One had delicate features like a youth, his robe embroidered with the Undying Treasure Tree.
The other had a long flowing beard, his appearance clear and untarnished, resembling an immortal, with a robe adorned with the moving eight trigrams.
Seeing these two, Elder Xia and Yan Wenzheng, among others, took the lead in greeting:
"Greetings to Sect Master Su."
"Greetings to Sect Master Shao."
In fact, it was the Longevity Sect Master, Su Dachun, and the Wanxiang Sect Master, Shao Yangzi.
The three of them, led by Su Dachun, arrived in the air, forming a tripod stance.
Seeing the three personages make an appearance at such a critical moment, all the Immortal Ascension cultivators were heartened, their confidence bolstered.
Shao Yangzi and Su Dachun glanced over the Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator possessed by Xun FuJun, then the three of them bypassed the crowd and landed before Shangguan Ren.
"Taoist Friend Shangguan."
Tao Temple Master Tai A bowed, and since Youxian Temple had fewer conflicts with the primitive Demonic Sect, he had to be the one to negotiate. He spoke in an even tone:
"Now that Taoist Friend Shangguan has appeared, why not call out the rest of your sect members?"
Shangguan Ren could not help but laugh:
"Taoist Brother Tai A’s insight remains sharp, not a penny less than in the old days!"
He beckoned with his hand.
Outside of the Chen State Formation, a black teleportation array pattern quickly emerged, and immediately a black cavern formed. Several Immortal Ascension cultivators with Demonic Flames burning on their bodies walked out and flew towards them.
The Chen State Formation quickly opened up, letting these cultivators in.
"Our sect has done everything it can, after all, the north still needs people to hold it."
Shangguan Ren took the lead in speaking, heading off any skepticism from the Jin side.
The Jin side did not say anything in response.
"Since that’s the case, let’s..."
Just as he was speaking.
From outside the Chen State Formation, the Evil God shouted in anger:
"...Since you persist in your folly, we shall inflict endless calamities upon you, to punish your grievous disrespect..."
The voice outside was thunderous.
Yet inside the Formation, several people were unaffected.
Shangguan Ren looked at the Three Sects’ Sect Masters, smiled lightly, and said:
"What do the three of you say?"
Shao Yangzi calmly stated:
"Fight at a distance, don’t destroy this place."
Sect Master Su instead looked toward one on the right, shrouded in Divine Power:
"That God of War, leave him to me."
Tao Temple Master Tai A instead eyed one of the three figures to the left:
"Is that the God of Longevity? I would like to test the mettle of this Evil God."
Shangguan Ren spread his hands, laughing:
"Then there’s only the Mother Goddess left for our sect..."
Suddenly, Liang Qiuyu spoke up:
"Let’s not be overly confident, masters. The Divine Power of these Three Divine Emperors is interconnected; they are virtually as one. Their might is exponentially greater than ours who have achieved Immortal Ascension Perfection..."
"Let’s try first!"
Shangguan Ren glanced at him, his smile fading somewhat as he calmly said.
Shao Yangzi suddenly spoke:
"Elder Yan, Elder Ren, Elder Xia, Elder Chen, Taoist Friend Chao... be attentive at all times, ready to offer support."
All the cultivators nodded.
At this moment.
The Incense Fire Dao cultivators finally struck first.
Countless spells, empowered by Divine Power, poured down like raindrops toward the Chen State Formation!
This lower grade Class V Great Array merely lit up a screen of light before crumbling like paper, quickly collapsing.
However, at the moment the light screen broke.
Among the four Sect Masters, Shao Yangzi suddenly waved his large sleeve.
A terrifying mana, far surpassing the combined effort of numerous Class IV cultivators, instantly swelled, enveloping the direction from which the spells poured down, and immediately repelled every single one!
Numerous Class IV Incense Fire Dao cultivators, even with their powers combined, were counterattacked by the bouncing spells in an instant, some of lesser cultivation base tumbled from the clouds.
Observing this scene, the Gods in the clouds remained utterly calm.
The higher the realm, the more exaggerated the difference between each Stage.
The difficulty of achieving qualitative change through quantity becomes even more astonishing.
Though the Incense Fire Dao cultivators were numerous, they still fell short of the realm of those with Immortal Ascension Perfection.
Though the ants band together, they ultimately stand no chance against a human.
But to the Evil Gods, this mattered little.
A little more mana depletion from these Immortal Ascension cultivators served their purpose.
As for those Class IV Incense Fire Dao cultivators... once they extinguished these opposing Immortal Ascension cultivators, all their losses would be regained!
"Decimate the cultivators here! Leave none alive!"
The God of War, shrouded in Divine Light, with passionless silver eyes, declared loudly.
At the same time.
The Immortal Ascension cultivators of Jin and Yan took the lead, flying out from the territories of the Chen State, towards the dense numbers of Kingdom of Immortals cultivators and Evil Gods...
...
Wanxiang Sect.
Yongzi Secret Realm.
Once again, the figure of a man in red reappeared in the Secret Realm.
He casually swept his gaze around, about to find a place to cultivate in seclusion, when he suddenly paused.
To his surprise, he looked toward a corner where Wang Ba was cultivating.
"What’s going on? How is he still cultivating here?"
"This shouldn’t be, I rushed in as soon as it was time..."
He clearly remembered, when he left before, this Golden Core cultivator was cultivating here.
However, to his astonishment, after such a long time, when he returned to the Yongzi Secret Realm, he found that the other party was still there.
