"Order, Li Jilong to be the deputy commander of the White Tiger Legion, assisting Cao Wei in conquering the Yuhua Divine Dynasty!"
"As you command!"
...
Tianyuan Sect, the sect grounds.
*Boom!*
The usually peaceful weather was suddenly shattered by thunder. A violent tremor resounded from above the Tianyuan Sect, and countless terrifying divine thunderbolts instantly appeared, streaking across the entire sky!
The sky above the Tianyuan Sect grounds, after the thunder, was plunged into darkness. Blue divine thunder crackled intermittently, casting the entire sect into a cycle of darkness and brief illumination!
Gradually, the divine thunder grew more numerous, exploding wildly in the heavens, shaking the sky into huge, gaping chasms. Within these chasms, instead of void energy, there was a radiant golden light!
"What is happening?!"
"The Tianyuan Sect's grounds are a territory guarded by a Saint King. It is unlikely that mere living beings would dare to cause trouble. Could it be... could it be a celestial anomaly, with chaos erupting?"
Within the city at the foot of the Tianyuan Sect, countless beings of the Tianyuan Sect watched the terrifying celestial anomaly with horror. This was the very grounds of the Tianyuan Sect; how could such a fearsome omen appear?
Among them were many Quasi-Saint beings. They released their divine senses, attempting to perceive the terrifying phenomenon in the sky, but the heavens, thousands of feet above, remained impenetrable to their senses.
"Boom!"
Another deafening roar echoed from the heavens. The divine thunder transformed into a golden hue, brewing within the thunderous expanse.
It suddenly descended, striking towards the mountain gate of the Tianyuan Sect. The entire sect lit up with a faint blue grand formation. The divine thunder struck, exploding into dazzling beams of divine light that instantly covered an area of a thousand miles!
Within the Tianyuan Sect, countless beings rose, weapons in hand, continuously reinforcing the defensive might of the grand formation!
"Who... who dares to attack the Tianyuan Sect?!"
"The Tianyuan Sect is a power with a Saint King as its guardian. Even if Jing Tiancheng has fallen, and Zhen Gang is engaged in the battle for the Saint Ranking, Elder Jiubin still presides within the sect, and Sect Master Chu Qianxing protects it. Who would dare to attack the Tianyuan Sect?"
Gazing at the land of thousands of divine thunder divine punishment, the beings of the Tianyuan Sect suddenly awoke, looking at the cracks crisscrossing the sky with divine thunder. This was no celestial anomaly, no omen; it was clearly an act of aggression against the Tianyuan Sect by some powerful entity.
But who would dare to attack the Tianyuan Sect? For the past twenty years, the Tianyuan Sect had been very close to the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty, perhaps even having sworn allegiance to them like the Tiangang Upper Sect.
With the support of the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty and the Tiangang Upper Sect, who would dare to attack the current Tianyuan Sect? The Tianyuan Sect was not weak to begin with, and now with patrons, countless beings looked up at the sky, uncertain as to who had launched this assault.
"Boom!"
Above the void, countless golden divine thunderbolts clashed in the heavens, slowly forming dozens of enormous Yellow Turban Warriors. Each of them was ferocious and menacing, their eyes blazing with golden divine light, relentlessly bombarding the grand formation of the Tianyuan Sect.
The endless surging divine thunder in the sky seemed inexhaustible, fiercely assailing the Tianyuan Sect. This terrifying scene made the beings in the city unable to believe their eyes.
"What... what are those enormous apparitions!"
"That is the aura of a Saint!!"
"That is the aura of a Saint!!"
"A Saint, how dare they attack the Tianyuan Sect!! But this aura, it is unlikely that an ordinary Saint could match it!"
"Who has the Tianyuan Sect offended?!"
The divine thunder filling the sky had a clear target, directly bombarding the Tianyuan Sect grounds. It made no move towards the city below, with only the residual shockwaves from its impact on the sect's grand formation affecting the city.
Yet, even these residual shockwaves were enough to cause countless beings to suffer internal hemorrhages, forcing them to the ground!
Even Quasi-Saint beings could not withstand the oppressive might of these residual waves!
Within a thousand-mile radius, all living beings were slumped on the ground, unable to even lift their gaze to the heavens!
At this moment, within the Tianyuan Sect, countless elders led the sect disciples, each guarding one of the four cardinal directions of the grand formation, ceaselessly resisting the divine thunder bombardment from the heavens.
"Who exactly is it?"
Chu Qianxing looked at the dozens of colossal apparitions in the sky, each capable of unleashing top-tier Saintly killing techniques.
Although he was at the Saint King realm, looking at the sky filled with divine thunder manipulated by beings, and not knowing how many Saints were involved, wondering if each apparition represented a Saint, he felt uneasy.
"Boom!"
Another barrage of divine thunder struck. Countless sect disciples and elders now had cracked lips, some with pale faces, others already reduced to dust by the immense bombardment.
*Rumble!*
Golden divine thunder, spanning thousands of miles, shot out from the eyes of the dozens of Yellow Turban Warriors. This time, it directly enveloped the entire grand formation!
*Boom!*
As the divine thunder descended, this bombardment caused even Chu Qianxing to tremble. The divine power contained within it made him feel a sense of fear.
"Boom!"
The spatial cracks in the sky widened, and the golden divine thunder grew more and more numerous!
The terrifying, successive bombardments directly annihilated countless Tianyuan Sect disciples. The grand formation was beginning to buckle under the strain!
Divine light dimmed, divine power dissipated!
Cracks began to spread across the four sides of the grand formation. The entire formation, under the bombardment of golden divine thunder, was on the verge of collapse!
"Has Jiubin returned?"
"Has Jiubin returned?"
Chu Qianxing took a deep breath and shouted loudly.
Although he was the Sect Master of the Tianyuan Sect and its strongest practitioner, most of them were in seclusion and cultivation. The management of sect affairs had always been handled by Jiubin, the Grand Elder.
"Reporting to the Sect Master!"
"Has the Grand Elder not returned?"
An elder of Quasi-Saint realm, his face pale, continuously supplied divine power, trying to reinforce the grand formation.
"To destroy a Great Han Celestial Dynasty, would it take such a long time for three major powers to unite?"
Chu Qianxing's expression was grim. He wanted to discern how many beings were attacking from the sky. As he looked at the elder and was about to speak again, a deep voice, like the pronouncements of a thunder god, suddenly came from within the ever-widening chasm!
"This humble Taoist is Zhang Jiao, the Grand Master of the Taoist sect of the Great Han Celestial Dynasty!"
"The Tianyuan Sect fails to recognize the times and seeks to destroy our Celestial Dynasty's national artifact!"
"By order of His Majesty, perish!"
"Tianyuan Sect!"
Holding his ceremonial staff, Zhang Jiao spread his arms. Instantly, the dozens of Yellow Turban Warriors standing tall in the sky manipulated the divine thunder once more, unleashing it upon the teetering sect grand formation. In an instant, countless beings under the formation turned to dust, and the wavering grand formation shattered immediately!
At this moment, countless iconic structures representing the Tianyuan Sect, halls that bore the legacy of generations of the Tianyuan Sect, crumbled with a deafening roar!
