674: Chapter 212_1 674: Chapter 212_1 Every time the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth arrived, many small sects would either be annihilated or forced to reluctantly join other Immortal Sects, ultimately disappearing completely for various reasons.
This time, the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth was too ferocious, plunging the whole world into even greater chaos than the usual Reversal Mini Epoch Period, making the situation for these small sects even more perilous.
In just one day, numerous small sects vanished.
Facing the Immortal Sects of other Dynasties or individuals from the Demon Sect, they had no strength to resist at all.
Even if by some chance, a sect with a small following produced a talented protégé, it was still difficult to turn the tide of battle.
The Celestial Plum Sect was a very small player within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, and could only avoid being called minuscule because within their ranks they had individuals in the Golden Core Stage.
However, the entire Celestial Plum Sect had only four individuals at the Golden Core Stage.
How could they resist when facing the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, which boasted more than forty individuals at the Golden Core Stage!
Qiao Jingyao managed to severely injure one of them, yet in the next moment, down came numerous Divine Skills; endless flames ignited the world before her eyes, seeming to engulf the entire Celestial Plum Sect.
Behind Qiao Jingyao, from the sixth Golden Core, an eye-catching emerald radiance shone.
Under the black flames, every large tree and blade of grass on Sky Plum Mountain was burnt clean.
But a moment later, under the illumination of the green radiance from the Golden Core, a surge of life energy that fostered the growth of all living things emerged.
In an instant, scorched blades of grass broke through the earth and grew wildly.
Leaves connected to form a shield that protected the disciples of the Celestial Plum Sect behind her.
However, the flames falling from the sky were too numerous, and within moments, the barrier of trees she formed disappeared, with clusters of flames striking down on the disciples of the Celestial Plum Sect behind her.
The Celestial Plum Sect had only four individuals at the Golden Core Stage; the rest were at the Immortal Bridge or Core Formation, and some disciples did not even have the Immortal Bridge condensed.
How could they resist the Divine Skills of those at the Golden Core Stage?
Under the black sea of flames, screams rang out, and disciples of the Celestial Plum Sect were instantly buried in the blaze.
Just in an instant, all of the Celestial Plum Sect’s disciples at the base of the mountain, except for the four in the Golden Core Stage, died.
Their cultivation bases were too low.
Under the attack from a host of those at the Golden Core Stage, they couldn’t even put up a defense!
“Junior brother…
Junior sister…”
Qiao Jingyao’s eyes were on the verge of bursting with rage; these were her junior brothers and sisters, her fellow disciples!
Scenes of her time with each junior brother and sister flashed through her mind.
“Senior sister, this peach is delicious; here, you eat it.”
“Senior sister, this talisman was secretly given to me by Master.
Master said it could increase the speed of cultivation.
Senior sister, take it and use it for your cultivation.”
“Senior sister, are you hurt?
Senior sister, we dug up this Lingzhi from the mountain.
Eat it quickly, and you’ll get better.”
“Senior sister, wait for me, when I grow up, I will be the number one in the world and protect you well!”
“Senior sister…
”
At this moment, Qiao Jingyao was nearly insane; she frantically stirred up the mana within her body, but surrounding her, black Flame Divine Powers fell, heavily bombarding her.
Although she was at the sixth level of the Golden Core and all six Golden Cores were of miraculous quality, facing the encirclement and assault by a large number of individuals at the Golden Core Stage, her Protective Divine Power shattered instantly, and the terrifying force sent her body flying back in retreat.
Almost at the same time, her Master’s voice reached her.
“Go, run!
Jing Yao, hurry and leave, don’t mind us!”
As Qiao Jingyao was flung back, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood, she shook her head resolutely, “No, I will not live if it means acting cowardly.
If we go, we go together!”
“Foolish, if you stay, everyone will die!
Our entire Celestial Plum Sect’s lineage will be cut off!” suddenly shouted the Sect Leader of the Celestial Plum Sect, “Stay, only by staying can you avenge us!”
As he spoke, behind him, a series of Dao platforms, Immortal Bridges, and seven Golden Cores burned fiercely.
His Golden Cores had no anomalies, yet at that moment, a faint outline of a plum blossom emerged over his seven Golden Cores.
Explosions filled the air, and the surrounding atmosphere seemed unable to withstand the power emitting from the spears, exploding continuously.
His gaze was resolute as he looked at the individuals from the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, his eyes filled with killing intent.
“To die, having lived this long, if I die, I’ve still profited.
If I die, don’t think any of you can get away easily!”
The complexions of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect individuals around him changed dramatically in an instant.
“This old guy’s gone mad!”
“Quick, retreat, he’s going to blow up his Golden Cores!”
The Golden Core individuals closest to the Sect Leader of the Celestial Plum Sect retreated frantically.
The might of a Golden Core Stage individual self-detonating their Golden Cores was terrifying; it meant releasing all their winning cultivation in an instant.
Not just them, even the strongest among them, Shaoze, swiftly moved back.
However, before they could fully retreat, with a thunderous explosion, it was as if the whole world split apart.
Suddenly, the sky changed color, and the Void trembled.
The whole of Sky Plum Mountain was blasted open, the earth shook, and at that moment, it seemed as if the whole world blew apart.
