Chapter 254 - 254 251 Breaking the World Boundary Barrier
Chapter 254: Chapter 251: Breaking the World Boundary Barrier Chapter 254: Chapter 251: Breaking the World Boundary Barrier Inside the Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven, countless large, medium, and small Flying Escape Treasures were already in place.
Disciples from various sects had lined up in formation, each holding a Magical Treasure Divine Weapon, their bodies radiating a fierce killing intent.
On the side of the Beast Taming Sect, numerous Spiritual Beasts densely surrounded the front.
When the battle started, they were to charge ahead, disrupt the enemy’s formation, and facilitate a safe landing for the sect’s disciples, ensuring they wouldn’t suffer too many attacks upon deployment.
These Spiritual Beasts included not only those owned by the disciples but also a large number of beasts raised by the sect for combat purposes.
Just like the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave at the Outer Spiritual Snake Peak, other peaks and branches within the sect also had places where Spiritual Beasts were raised, specially used as the vanguard when a major battle occurred.
These Spiritual Beasts, led by the Beast King, did not require the extra Divine Sense control from the cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect.
…
As soon as the War Fortress penetrated the World Barrier, these beasts would be the first to rush out and fight, clearing the way for the sect’s disciples.
On the left side of the Beast Taming Sect, an area spanning dozens of miles was shrouded by Yin Evil Qi, making other alliance cultivators dare not approach.
This was the camp of the Ghost Controlling Sect.
At this moment, they released countless ghosts and monsters, far more than had appeared before in previous campaigns, with chilling howls and cries that frightened everyone.
Amidst the dense Yin Qi, numerous Fierce Ghosts roamed, and an unknown number of coffins were released by these disciples.
There were thick Ancient Bronze Coffins, bright red coffins vivid as blood, and black coffins as dark as ink that emitted dense Yin Qi.
At that moment, as coffin after coffin was opened, countless Yin Evil Qis soared into the sky.
Subsequently, numerous Zombies jumped out of the coffins.
Some of these Zombies were pitch-black with bodies stiff as iron.
Some were yellowish in color, leaping a hundred meters with a single jump.
Some could even control the sky, having reached the realm capable of flying and burrowing.
There were even two Zombies whose aura was restrained, their complexions rosy, almost indistinguishable from living people, and their eyes even showed a hint of spiritual nature.
They were almost at the level of Proving Dao.
If they could advance further, survive the Heavenly Tribulation, and foster vitality within, they would balance Yin and Yang and contain both life and death in their aura, transforming into a unique life form neither dead nor alive.
Seeing these Zombies, many cultivators who were unaware of the capabilities of the Ghost Controlling Sect were secretly alarmed.
They had initially thought that the cultivators of the Ghost Controlling Sect only specialized in capturing and controlling ghosts.
Now, they realized that these individuals were also highly skilled in Corpse Refining.
Observing those impressive Zombies, it was clear that their combat power would be no less formidable than the Fierce Ghosts.
On another front, the disciples of the Five Poisons Sect were also preparing.
Countless Poison Insects formed a layer of dark clouds above their heads, with more appearing under their feet, waiting for the fortress gates to open so they could rush out first.
Out of the eight gates of the fortress, aside from one each occupied by the Beast Taming Sect, the Five Poisons Sect, and the Ghost Controlling Sect, the remaining gates were led by several relatively powerful medium-sized sects, with other sects closely following, ready for the campaign.
Among these medium-sized sects, the disciples of the Fiery Fire Sect were the most formidable.
This was because one of the five Profound Immortals leading the charge was the Fiery Fire Ancestor of their sect.
This fact alone was enough to make these disciples feel proud.
Although the disciples of the Fiery Fire Sect were aware there was still a significant gap between them and the three major sects of the Beast Taming Sect, the feeling of superiority over other smaller sects was quite gratifying, not to mention with the Fiery Fire Ancestor present, they were certain to seize a good position in the resource-rich areas.
The Sects that hadn’t even had an Immortal follow the alliance into battle had only the Elders above the Purple Mansion realm, trying to gain advantage in the Otherworld was impossible.
Once the war began, lacking sufficient strength meant even their right to speak was forfeited; they could only follow other sects into the fray.
In the grand hall atop Moyun Ridge, the Supreme Elders of various sects gathered together, anxiously watching the outcome of the fortress colliding with the World Barrier.
Before Elder Kongkong, a transparent orb appeared, showing a miniaturized version of the Cave Heaven Fortress.
This was the Cave Heaven Core he had refined, and by manipulating this orb, he could control the entire Cave Heaven Fortress.
At that moment, under his manipulation, not only did a thick Protective Shield appear outside the Cave Heaven Fortress, but infinite strength also pressed downward, attempting to completely break open the already-cracked World Barrier.
Once they broke through this Dao Realm Barrier, they would be able to invade the world inside and confront the other side.
Of course, if those Demon Gods inside, confident in their formidable strength, decided to strike before their invasion and confront them in the Void, that would be even better.
This way, they could fight the opponent without any suppression.
Fighting in the Void was advantageous for both sides.
The powerful individuals from the Beast Taming Sect Alliance didn’t have to worry about being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao of the opposing world, and the Demon Gods of that world didn’t have to worry about their territory getting destroyed by the battle.
After all, the disturbances caused by combatants of such level were enormous; their attacks falling on the mountains and earth would be catastrophic for ordinary creatures.
At this moment, the War Fortress had already penetrated partially; just a bit more, and the thickest part of its body would squeeze in, enabling the fortress to completely rush in very quickly.
Boom…
A loud noise erupted as dark red flames struck the Protective Shield outside the fortress, igniting a huge cluster of sparks.
However, the power of this flame, although strong, was insufficient to repel the War Fortress with a single blow.
The Protective Shield on the outer layer of the War Fortress merely trembled slightly and then quickly returned to normal, continuing to press against the World Barrier.
This barrier was something every complete world possessed, evolved to protect itself from external threats.
Some worlds even possessed more than one layer.
It was rumored that the Human Clan Ancestor Realm had thirty-three layers, but apart from the outer most layer being evolved by the Heavenly Dao, the rest were all created by Great Powers with Supreme Power.
Even those thirty-three layers of barrier had been transformed into thirty-three small worlds by the Great Powers, serving both as protection for the Ancestor Realm and expanding the living space for the Human Clan.
Although the Heavenly Dao Will of this world was enraged, it was impossible to concentrate all its force in one location.
Doing so would leave other areas without the protection of the Heavenly Dao, resulting in numerous disasters.
Thus, even the Heavenly Dao could only limitedly mobilize some Origin Power from other areas to reinforce this spot.
The Dark Flame Demon God and a few other Demon Gods had already flown close, their faces grim as they stared at the immense War Fortress before them.
Just now, the Dark Flame Demon God had already tried attacking, but even the Protective Shield of the fortress couldn’t be broken.
The result truly shocked them.
The Demon Gods exchanged glances, each seeing seriousness in the others’ eyes.
“Let’s attack together and see if we can push this fortress out.”
Dark Flame Demon God said, “Although pushing it out will still allow the enemy to breach the World Barrier from other directions, as long as it’s not through us, that’s good.
Otherwise, our forces under us would suffer the most severe losses.”
“Indeed.”
Papala’s eyes brightened.
Having attained the status of Demon God tens of thousands of years ago, she had gathered many treasures; her territory was indeed a very rich one, and naturally, she did not want it to be destroyed by the fires of war.
Thus, she quickly said, “Since the enemy has found our world’s coordinates, they certainly won’t give up on this war easily.
Since an inter-realm war is inevitable, moving the main battlefield to another Demon God’s territory could reduce our losses.”
“Then let’s hurry and take action before the other Demon Gods arrive, it’s best if we can achieve this.”
The meat-mountain-like Nega Demon God, shaking his flabby body, took several thudding steps forward in the void, as if stepping on solid ground, creating ripples in the void.
Then he swung his arms, his huge frame brutally slamming into the defensive shield of the Cave Heaven Fortress.
With a bang, the spot where he struck indented slightly but then immediately returned to normal.
Yet this meat-mountain-like figure, like a rubber ball, was bounced back several miles by the shield.
But his fatty body served as the best defense, and thus he was unharmed and quickly flew back.
This time, he did not use his body to impact but rather swung two massive chain maces at the fortress’s outer shield.
Standing about fifty feet tall, the weapons in his hands were also unimaginably huge, and as he swung them with his brute strength, the spectacle was extremely frightening.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The shield continuously trembled.
At this moment, the other Demon Gods also launched their most powerful attacks.
Some unleashed massive balls of fire, wildly bombing the area; some summoned blood-red lightning that furiously struck down; others transformed into a hundred-foot-tall Molten Rock Giant, swinging their fists in a fierce assault.
It would be best if they could break the defensive shield, but if not, they aimed to obstruct the War Fortress and ideally force it out, making the enemies choose another target for their attack elsewhere.
The other Demon Gods’ attacks were very powerful, but Papala’s spells seemed somewhat insignificant.
Many times, her attack magic hit the protective shield but couldn’t even stir a ripple.
It wasn’t that this Female Demon God didn’t want to exert effort, nor was it that her strength was truly weak; anyone who had achieved the status of a Demon God was not to be underestimated.
The reason for this was that her Power of Laws was not suited for frontal assault.
Papala mainly cultivated the Charming Power; although her appearance was extremely ugly to Human Clan Cultivators, in the eyes of the demons of this realm, she was nearly a perfect-witch, especially her figure, which had seduced countless demonic beings willing to become her subordinates.
Thus, among these Demon Gods, although her Divine Power was the weakest, she actually had the most powerful warriors under her command.
Her harem also housed thousands of male consorts serving her, which she could not afford to lose in the fires of war.
With this mindset, although her attack magic didn’t have much effect, she still diligently cast spells to assist the other Demon Gods, hoping to contribute as much as possible to prevent her territory from turning into ruins.
Inside the great hall on Moyun Ridge, the immortals watching the few Demon Gods’ relentless bombardment frowned deeply.
The hot-tempered Fiery Fire Ancestor stood up and said, “Can we open the portal now?
I’ll go and block these Demon Gods to prevent them from breaking the defense and ruining our plans.”
“Hehe, fellow Daoist, do not worry.”
Elder Kongkong, who was controlling the Cave Heaven Fortress, chuckled upon hearing this: “A few Demon Gods are not enough to break the fortress’s defense.
This Defensive Array was carefully set up by Brother Gui Ling using the Spirit Vein within the entire Cave Heaven as its foundation.
As long as the Spirit Vein is not depleted and the enemy does not break the defense instantly, this layer of defense will continue to hold up, and nothing will go wrong.”
Pausing for a moment, he then released a tremendous surge of immortal power within him, manipulating the Cave Heaven Fortress to exert even greater force to compress the gaps in the World Barrier, before continuing, “Although we can now enter the enemy’s world, we should not rashly advance.
After all, the Cave Heaven Fortress has not entered yet; should any accident occur, being squeezed out by the World Barrier or if the enemy brings reinforcements to block our entry, Daoist Fellow Fiery Fire would be trapped inside, making it difficult to escape.
“So let’s wait until the Cave Heaven Fortress has entered, then we can deal with those Demon Gods.”
“Is that so?”
Hearing this, Fiery Fire Ancestor could not persist, “If so, I shall not act.”
“No no no, we should still act, just not against those Demon Gods but against the World Barrier, to help me quickly break through the gap so that we can advance quickly.”
Elder Kongkong shook his little head, the two tufts of whiskers at the corners of his mouth moving with each word, adding a touch of humor: “If we rely solely on the fortress’s own power, it would still take several hours to enter.
However, if fellow Daoists assist, we naturally won’t need to spend as much time.”
“Very well,”
Fiery Fire Ancestor nodded, “I have been feeling rather anxious, so if we can speed up the process, let’s act immediately.
The enemy’s powerful beings haven’t fully gathered yet; if we can quickly break through the barrier and enter, we won’t have to feel so constrained.”
As this elder had cultivated the Fire Element Dao to an extremely advanced level and his nature was like fiery fire—though somewhat impetuous—such temperament indeed suited the Fire Element Technique well.
“Fellow Daoists, shall we join forces to break this World Barrier and clear the way for the Cave Heaven Fortress?”
