Chapter 1361: The Breaking Point, Entry of the Earth Immortals (Part 2)
As the battle raged on, a sense of inevitability descended upon the battlefield. The arrival of the Earth Immortals shattered all prior expectations. Shen Ruyan, along with the other participants, felt the weight of an overwhelming presence that shifted the entire dynamic of the confrontation.
The Loose Cultivator Alliance had quickly gained the upper hand, thanks to the swift and powerful charge of the Golden Cicada Demon King. However, just as they were about to break through the final barrier and reach the cloud waterfall hiding the treasure, the combined might of the Yellow Wind Immortal Sect and White Dragon Immortal Sect converged upon them.
“Loose Cultivator Alliance? How dare you, not content with your tyranny in the Western Continent, intrude upon matters in the Central Region!”
Shen Ruyan’s path to victory was abruptly cut off as two fearsome auras erupted from behind them. She turned and saw the leaders of the Yellow Wind Immortal Sect and White Dragon Immortal Sect closing in, their intent clear—eliminate the threat posed by the Loose Cultivator Alliance before anyone could claim the treasure.
In an instant, a fierce battle ensued.
A three-headed white dragon roared, its form filling the skies, while a towering sandstorm conjured by the Yellow Wind Immortal Sect ravaged everything in its path. These fearsome entities, on the cusp of True Immortal perfection, tore through the void, ripping open massive chasms and leaving devastation in their wake.
“Stop them! Defend with all your might!” Shen Ruyan’s voice rang out, calm yet commanding.
The cultivators of the Loose Cultivator Alliance instantly obeyed, summoning every ounce of power they had. The Golden Cicada Demon King, leading the charge, unleashed its full might. Golden runes blazed across its body as it erected a shimmering barrier of divine light. Sacred chants echoed in the air, disrupting the very laws of the Immortal Realm.
Having been nurtured by Jiang Chengxuan after its submission, the Golden Cicada Demon King had grown immensely in power, consuming countless divine pills to reach new heights. Now, its sheer strength stunned even the mighty three-headed white dragon.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The Golden Cicada Demon King’s divine power clashed with the golden winds of the Yellow Wind Immortal Sect, creating a spectacular explosion of light and sound. Both forces represented the pinnacle of the golden path of the Dao, and now they sought to prove their dominance over one another.
The entire battlefield became a blinding, golden sun, with all sound drowned out by the constant clashing of metal. The reverberating clangs were relentless, echoing through the heavens as if a thousand celestial hammers were beating in unison.
Even the cultivators of the Yellow Wind Immortal Sect felt the oppressive weight of their own power being reflected back at them.
“Hmph! If you refuse to act with honor, don’t blame us for showing no mercy!” Shen Ruyan’s eyes gleamed with fierce resolve.
Summoning her innate Primordial Divine Lightning and Primordial Wind, she unleashed a devastating storm of elemental force. Her fellow cultivators from the Loose Cultivator Alliance followed suit, hurling forth their most powerful techniques.
The air rippled and warped under the intensity of the attack. The Primordial Divine Lightning intertwined with the primordial winds, creating a storm of unimaginable power, which shot toward the white dragon’s three heads.
The white dragon responded with a thunderous roar, its three mouths unleashing torrents of sword energy. These streams of sword light, honed through countless millennia of cultivation, carried the force of billions of blades, each sharper than the last.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The sky exploded as the two forces collided, billions of sword lights clashing against the primordial storm. Each impact sent shockwaves across the battlefield, causing a light show that stretched for miles. Each spark of light was a mini-battle between lightning and sword intent, swirling into a cosmic tapestry of destruction.
The scale of the battle was incomprehensible. Star after star seemed to explode in the distance as the sheer force of the collision tore the heavens apart.
But the true terror was yet to come.
“Stop holding back! We must suppress them now!”
“Don’t show any mercy!”
Amid the chaos, the cultivators of the Yellow Wind Immortal Sect and White Dragon Immortal Sect roared in fury, throwing themselves into the fray. The white dragon’s scales cracked under the assault, but its fury only grew as it expanded in size, white light radiating from its body as it tore through the void.
Meanwhile, Shen Ruyan summoned even more power, unleashing her Divine Lightning of Life and Death. With every gesture, her lightning crashed down like judgment from the heavens, obliterating everything in its path.
The battle had reached a level of intensity unseen before, with all sides fighting for their lives. The loose cultivators and their enemies were locked in a stalemate, unable to break through each other’s defenses. Any cultivator foolish enough to venture too close was instantly reduced to ashes.
However, this battle was merely a prelude.
“Buzz—!”
Out of nowhere, a phenomenon unfolded in the distant skies. Nine stars appeared, aligning into a celestial formation that spanned the heavens. The power of these stars surged across the void, their energy brimming with the unmistakable aura of Earthly Immortal might.
“The Earth Immortals are joining the fray?!”
The words sent shockwaves through the battlefield. Every cultivator who heard them gasped in disbelief. The sheer weight of the revelation was enough to make even the most battle-hardened warriors falter.
In the blink of an eye, the power of the nine stars descended upon the battlefield, crushing the chaotic vortex that had formed from the True Immortals’ clash.
Even Shen Ruyan and her allies, bolstered by the Golden Cicada Demon King, faltered. The dragon, locked in battle with the demon king, let out a cry of pain as its scales were shattered, blood spilling like rain across the battlefield.
The Golden Cicada Demon King fared no better. Its golden light dimmed, the divine runes on its body flickering as it was forced to retreat.
“Earth Immortals… They’ve entered the fray much sooner than expected…” Shen Ruyan murmured, her expression growing grave.
The entrance of an Earthly Immortal was a game-changer, one that none of them had anticipated this soon.
