Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 1230 - 1198: Xianmen Sect Must Occupy a Dominant Position in the Post-War Order

The killing intent of the eight great experts was icy and pervasive, even affecting the existence of the Heavenly Dao Law Net, making it cold and relentless like winter, but it was not directed outward, rather inward.

Many Xianmen cultivators suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.

No, not just a chill, but a slight one that vanished in an instant.

"Gentlemen, what is the meaning of this?"

Mr. Yuan's smile receded slightly, and he watched the eight Immortal Sect Great Powers with an expressionless face.

Do they truly think it's still like the thousand years before the ascension to Refining Nothingness?

The eight Immortal Sect Great Powers felt a tightness in their hearts.

The Eastern Devil School is now in its absolute strongest period in history, with some great experts doubting that the Eastern Devil School has the power to sweep the Nine Spirits Realm, though it would come at an almost annihilating terrible price.

If it merely defended its sect stronghold, it would become an almost invincible presence, unafraid of being besieged and killed by anyone.

If the Nine Spirits Realm were still a closed Domain, all of this would almost become reality.

Under such circumstances, the things that could threaten the Eastern Devil School had become very scarce.

The faces of the eight Immortal Sect Great Powers were uncertain.

A moment later, they reined in their killing intent, no longer revealing it outwardly, and with deeply furrowed brows, they began to contemplate something.

After a long time.

"Mr. Yuan,"

"Speak plainly."

The Heavenly Mechanism Great Power, with a neutral expression, asked, "What do you need?"

"Or is it that, with the threat of the Jiaoming Emperor before us, we fight a battle here?"

"As you said, after Burning Essence Blood, our strength can be greatly enhanced for a short time, granting us the power of Harmonization Combat."

"And then, the Horned Demon Imperial Clan reaps the benefits."

"What do I need? Don't you fellow Daoists already know?"

Mr. Yuan smiled slightly.

"I need safety for the Immortal Sect, the absolute safety of the Immortal Sect after your ascension. Otherwise, fellow Daoists might as well Burn Essence Blood and die right here."

"It's better for the nine families to mourn than just the Immortal Sect alone to weep."

This was an even more resolute and colder response to the threat posed by the Eight Great Immortal Sects.

The Immortal Sect has never feared battle or death!

This is not just talk.

This has been the practice of the Immortal Sect for tens of thousands of years!

In every war, every battle, they never retreated, and the citizens went to the battlefield ready to die.

This is a reality as firm as steel!

The eight Immortal Sect Great Powers felt a deep sense of helplessness at this moment.

This old adversary, they knew all too well, even now with the Great Dao opportunity before their eyes, they dare not risk a fight to the death, for they know it would lead to mutual destruction.

"Speak."

"Your terms."

The Heavenly Mechanism Immortal Palace Great Power sighed.

Similar words, yet they represented different meanings.

The Eight Great Immortal Sects are willing to make significant concessions for the sake of the Great Dao.

"Excellent!"

"Fellow Daoists are straightforward."

Mr. Yuan praised, then continued with an unchanged expression: "Unity with sincerity is crucial for the Nine Spirits Realm. The Immortal Sect requires only two things."

"Firstly, the Immortal Sect needs a Soul Fragment from a Harmonization cultivator."

"This Soul Fragment can be obtained from the Jiaoming Emperor. If the Jiaoming Emperor flees or perishes in battle without his Soul Fragment being captured, then the Immortal Sect will need to place a restriction inside the Divine Soul of a cultivator who is about to ascend to Harmonization, to observe the Divine Soul's ascension, the emergence, and the structure of the Divine Soul."

"Secondly, the Immortal Sect requires nine opportunities of Refining Nothingness. No matter where these opportunities come from, the Immortal Sect must have them."

"These are the two conditions, not a single thread less, no discount whatsoever."

"Only with both in hand can the Immortal Sect secure a foothold in the post-war order of the newly born Domain. We will not concede a single point. Fellow Daoists can choose to accept or reject."

"But Xianmen will not give in, not even by a hair's breadth."

Yuan looked calmly towards the eight Great Powers of the Immortal Sects.

Unexpectedly, these eight Great Powers did not fly into a rage under such humiliating conditions, nor did they assume any crazy postures; instead, they coldly calculated something with icy expressions.

...

Magic Vine Minor Realm.

This place is a hub of the Yama Hell Equal King Yin-Yang Inversion Array.

This terrifying domain-wide array erupted with power that not even the Harmonization combat strength of the Nine Spirits Realm could withstand, forcibly pulling nine hundred million Nascent Soul and below beings from the Nine Spirits Realm into this Minor Thousand World, forcing them into a life-and-death blood battle with an equal number of Horned Demon Imperial Clan Cultivators.

Boom!

Rumbling!

At this time, within the territory of the Moye Family, ten Taoist disciples from the Nine Great Immortal Sects presided within the Formation Method, and heirs such as the Cangyan Ancient Emperor's Son, Ming Tian Ancient Emperor's Son, and other nine heirs of Great Emperors commanded the Army Formation and hundreds of kings in a storm-like attack on this place.

The Imperial Weapon Prototypes of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan, heavy as mountains, bore the terrifying momentum of the military formations of millions of elite Horned Demon Imperial Clan commanded by kings, as heavy as heaven and earth. Each strike that landed shattered a large area of the Formation Method's Spiritual Light.

Countless Array Patterns dissipated under the bombardments of the Imperial Weapon Prototypes, mountains shook and lands quivered, the earth cracked, and magma spurted out as if it was the end of the world.

The Formation Method of the ten great Taoist disciples of the Nine Spirits Realm kept eroding, barely maintained by a supreme power of the Formation Dao within the Army Formation.

But even so, they seemed as if their lives were hanging by a thread.

"King-rank Ancient Imperial Sons!"

"Divinity Transformation Cultivators!"

Xuanwu Daoist had been at the center of the Army Formation, taking on the most damage. His turtle shell on his back was cracked, and he couldn't help but curse: "We are just at the Nascent Soul Peak!"

"Nascent Soul Peak!"

"These damned barbarians! Without a shred of courtesy, justice, integrity, or shame!!"

"If it were the same realm, I alone could suppress three Ancient Imperial Sons with one hand and slay them in the shortest time!"

"Had I known this would happen, I should've ascended to Divinity Transformation sooner!"

As the situation slid further downhill, he lamented tragically.

This was impossible.

The Yama Hell Equal King Yin-Yang Inversion Array targeted Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators and below, and the Great Powers of the Immortal Sects would not allow them to advance, letting the situation completely collapse, and thus threatening the main combat strength of the Harmonization Battlefield.

"Where is Jiang Dingzi?"

"Did he fall to demonic possession and die?"

Qingmu Daoist Ji Liuyue's face was a mess, pale as paper.

Her body trembled like a sieve; during the long defense war, to heal the injuries of the nine great Daoist disciples, even though the mana of the Green Wood Immortal Sect was said to be inexhaustible, it was almost depleted by now, sustained only by the Five Elements Reincarnation of the Taoist of Five Elements.

In such exhaustion, she unkindly said.

"Jiang Ding is still in slumber."

Gu Lin True Lord replied calmly.

She looked around and saw that of the nine million cultivators from the first batch of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, only a little over five million remained – the rest had perished, killed in the recent battle, including hundreds of thousands from the Immortal Sect Fleet.

This kind of sacrifice was unavoidable.

If the Eight Great Immortal Sects did not yield, if they did not allow Xianmen to have the right to live in the post-war order, then the citizens of Xianmen would not mind dying together with the Eight Great Immortal Sects.

"But we're about to die!"

"Bitch! Do you understand?!!"

Xuanwu Daoist stared at Gu Lin True Lord with blood-red eyes, on the verge of madness.

"Then die!"

Gu Lin True Lord looked coldly at the disrespectful Daoist disciple and continued to command the Army Formation to resist the siege from the many heirs of the Horned Demon Emperor Clan.

In the face of life and death, she had gained command of all the cultivators of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, thus holding on until now.

"Madness!"

"True madness!"

"The Eastern Devil School has gone mad, their Divine Souls invaded by barbarians..."

Ji Liuyue, An Tuzi, Shadow Demon, and others despaired, howling with a sense of powerlessness.
