"Blood Saber Unleashed!"
A demonic cultivator roared, unleashing his Blood Saber artifact and summoning a boundless tide of blood that surged wave after wave towards the Yun family's cultivators.
Vicious and endless, savagely fierce!
"Eternal Damnation!"
Another demonic cultivator sneered, producing a small black bowl artifact. Chanting incantations, the bowl soared into the sky, inverted, and poured down boundless black water.
This black water was the filthiest substance in existence. Where it passed, spiritual energy withered, and monstrous might erupted.
If any of the Yun family's cultivators' artifacts were carelessly touched by the black water, they would immediately be corrupted, their spiritual light greatly diminished, and their power severely weakened.
...
The demonic cultivators displayed even more divine abilities, each fiercer than the last.
In contrast, the Yun family elders performed ordinarily.
They had all been rogue cultivators before, lacking any powerful immortal techniques or potent artifacts and spiritual items.
As soon as the battle began, the Yun family elders were utterly dominated.
They had no power to fight back.
The Yun family elders retreated steadily, with several unfortunate souls suffering severe injuries.
An external Golden Core elder of the Yun family had his defensive spiritual light shattered by a colossal black demonic palm descending from the sky. His chest was caved in, blood spewed forth, and he was gravely wounded.
Another external Golden Core elder of the Yun family was ambushed by a multicolored poisonous insect. After being bitten, his entire body erupted in boils that continuously oozed pus, a horrifying sight.
...
Brutal!
The battle was far too brutal!
The Yun family elders were no match for the demonic cultivators.
However, it was comforting that even though the battle had reached such a stalemate, the Yun family elders still fought on. They were prepared to perish with the Yun Family Immortal Abode; not a single soul harbored thoughts of escape.
The cohesion of the Yun Family Immortal Abode was indeed remarkably strong!
Yun Zhenting's gaze sharpened as he boomed in a deep voice.
"Tianzhong, Xiao Ling, make your move!"
As the patriarch, Yun Zhenting could not stand idly by and watch his external elders be annihilated. At this critical moment, he decided to activate the grand array within the Immortal Abode, using the array's power to counter the demonic cultivators.
Yun Tianzhong and the little spirit monkey king acted without hesitation. Together, they synchronized their efforts and simultaneously activated the power of the "Town Abode Stone Tablet"!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Beams of spiritual light shot out from the foreheads of Yun Tianzhong and the little spirit monkey king.
These two beams of light were profoundly mystical. They merged in the air, forming a complete "Town Abode Stone Tablet phantom."
The "Town Abode Stone Tablet phantom" trembled slightly, and immediately, several runes shot forth.
Each rune possessed unfathomable power and could activate the array within the Immortal Abode.
The runes arranged themselves into a mystical formation in the air, creating a massive diagram.
The diagram pulsed with spiritual light, emitting a powerful traction force.
Clang!
From various parts of the Immortal Abode, sounds of swords singing and dragons roaring arose.
Innumerable flying swords, imbued with peerless divine radiance, soared into the sky.
Sword Qi crisscrossed, sharp and unstoppable!
Sword light flashed, like dragons and gods!
In a blink of an eye, ten thousand and one flying swords converged, endless sword qi ascending and interweaving, transforming into a lifelike "Sword Qi Dragon."
Roar!
The "Sword Qi Dragon" roared at the heavens, its might immense.
The great dragon patrolled the sky!
The "Sword Qi Dragon," with its overwhelmingly powerful aura, circled and flew above the Yun Family Immortal Abode.
Wherever it passed, sword qi raged, sweeping aside all obstacles.
No demonic cultivator who stood in the path of the "Sword Qi Dragon" fared well.
Hiss hiss hiss!
A demonic cultivator, overestimating his strength, attempted to block the "Sword Qi Dragon's" might with a colossal demonic hammer.
In one exchange.
Endless sword qi tore and shredded.
The demonic hammer, shattered!
The demonic cultivator, dead!
Even before he could utter a scream, the demonic cultivator was minced into a pile of bloody scraps by the boundless sword qi in the span of a second.
Powerful, powerful, powerful!
Too powerful!
The might of the "Sword Qi Dragon" far exceeded the imaginations of the demonic cultivators.
After being successively slain by seven or eight demonic cultivators, they became frightened and fearful. They no longer dared to confront the "Sword Qi Dragon" head-on, and scattered to evade it.
The tide of offense and defense had completely turned.
The demonic cultivators leaped and dodged everywhere, not daring to retaliate.
The Yun family elders seized this opportunity to counterattack, displaying their full might and fighting with unparalleled ferocity.
...
"True Lord Azure Dragon, what are you waiting for? Make your move!"
Just as everyone believed the situation was decided and the Yun family would win, Zhen Zhibing, disregarding his severe injuries, stepped forward. His eyes blazed as he roared in anger.
The one he was addressing was none other than the grand sect leader of the "Star Constellation Sword Alliance," True Lord Azure Dragon.
The "Star Constellation Sword Alliance" were righteous cultivators.
Zhen Zhibing and his followers were demonic cultivators.
Righteous and demonic had been irreconcilable since ancient times!
Logically, there should be no connection between the "Star Constellation Sword Alliance" and Zhen Zhibing.
However, the "Star Constellation Sword Alliance" was highly unusual; a lineage of "scum" flowed in their veins.
They claimed to be descendants of the "Eastern Sword Sect," but in reality, their ancestors were all "scum" who had violated sect rules and disciplinary precepts, incurring the scorn and punishment of the "Eastern Sword Sect."
Therefore, the "Star Constellation Sword Alliance" had no scruples. To seize the Immortal Abode ruins, they had not only allied with the "Sheng Feng Sect" but had also secretly colluded with Zhen Zhibing. Zhen Zhibing's attack on the Yun family was instigated by the "Star Constellation Sword Alliance."
Upon hearing Zhen Zhibing's furious roar, True Lord Azure Dragon chuckled heartily.
"Fellow Daoist Zhen, I am a righteous cultivator, and you are a demonic cultivator. Righteous and demonic have been irreconcilable since ancient times. You seek my aid; you have come to the wrong person!"
"You..."
Zhen Zhibing roared, filled with both anger and exasperation.
That damnable True Lord Azure Dragon, was he going back on his word?
True Lord Azure Dragon waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Zhen, please do not be agitated! While I cannot directly assist you, I find your character commendable. I can lend you a treasure!"
Before his words finished, True Lord Azure Dragon flicked his sleeve, casting out a scroll.
The scroll hovered in the sky, radiating spiritual light, and slowly unfurled.
As the scroll unrolled, a magnificent star chart appeared before everyone.
The vast star chart, deep and mysterious!
All present were captivated by this star chart, overcome with awe!
Some well-informed cultivators couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
"Heavens, could this be the legendary Eastern Star Chart!"
The surrounding cultivators, filled with curiosity, inquired.
"What is the Eastern Star Chart?"
The well-informed cultivator explained.
"The Eastern Star Chart, it is said to be a supreme treasure of the Eastern Sword Sect. This item possesses incredibly mystical functions, rumored to be able to control the stars of the heavens and draw upon celestial spiritual energy... However, its specific method of use has long been lost. Even the Eastern Sword Sect of that era did not master it."
"Then... the Eastern Star Chart is useless!"
"Heh heh, useless? Are you joking? This is a legendary ancient supreme treasure, how could it be useless? The Eastern Sword Sect modified it. This treasure can control all the arrays within the Immortal Abode... I, I understand!"
At this point, the well-informed cultivator suddenly realized, his eyes widening as he shouted.
"The Star Constellation Sword Alliance wants to disable all the arrays within the Immortal Abode!"
