Chapter 53: Sakara Enhancement Blessing (Low-Heaven)

"With these Spirit Roots, even a couple hundred years of lifespan is more effective than tens of thousands of years of lifespan with Heavenly Sword Essence Spirit Roots," Zar said in awe. "Whenever I get around to improving my cultivation, I wonder just how far I’ll progress..."

Just imagining it was enough to have him daydreaming of grandeur beyond mortal comprehension.

"No, for now, I must make do with what I have." His gaze steeled as he sent out his Sword Dao-enhanced Divine Sense, watching as it quickly reached the point of covering the whole Blazing Sun Sect. "All of the numerous Branches of the Sect are within my sights. Even the Holy Cultivation Paradises hidden away in the Outer Expanse of the Sect are unable to escape my sword sight.

Only the Higher Expanse, which is a highly fortified and concealed super-sized land mass hovering somewhere above the Lower Expanse is able to evade my vision. But that’s to be expected; after all, that is where the residences of the Grand Elders, Supreme Elders, Lineage Disciples, and the Sect Leader are located. As well as anyone else of the highest positions in this enormous Sect."

However, even if the Higher Expanse couldn’t be glimpsed or found, every single one of the rats that invaded the Sect couldn’t escape Zar’s all-seeing eye. They also couldn’t detect it scanning them.

"Although I can’t personally and efficiently kill you all, I have something that can," he stated coldly as newly evolved Shadow Beasts radiated strength far exceeding even regular Void Crossing Realm Cultivators.

"Shadow Army, go. Eradicate the bugs. Leave none alive."

OOOOM!

The Shadow Beasts vanished, shooting in different directions as trails of shadowy death just waiting to reap another life.

{[Sakara Enhancement Blessing (Low-Heaven)]}

[Effect: Multiplies all stats of any recognized by the User by 5x (stacks on top of Beast Master Rank, meaning that if Beast Master Rank bonus is 100%, then after the addition of this Blessing, the result of that 100% gets multiplied by 5. This is to say that your Shadow Beasts would be 10 times more powerful than normal)]

— In a certain Direct Sect Branch of the Blazing Sun Sect —

The strongest of the invading Demon Kings deeply furrowed his brows, feeling the same thing as the rest of the Demon Faction Ancestors. The Demonic Faction Sect Leaders and High-Elders who participated in this Great Sect Raid felt it too.

One of their own had died.

In addition to this, those of the Vile Flame Sect had their faces twist in fury after coughing up blood, all caused by the connections they had with their Genuine Primordial Souls getting abruptly cut off. None could even figure out what happened or why it happened.

But after discussing with one another, they concluded that whatever killed Demon King Hei Yan was also to blame for the erasure of their Genuine Primordial Souls.

It was also likely related to that huge burst of Sword Intent earlier, something they all assumed to be too immense to be created by something that wasn’t a natural phenomenon.

There was a supreme expert working on the side of the Blazing Sun Sect!

"Is it that Grand Elder from earlier?" The strongest Demon King pondered. "It must be. That’s what makes the most sense."

But even if that were the case, death was the only outcome that awaited this secret Blazing Sun Sect Expert—

"Ancestor! Our squads in the North have been wiped out! Tens of thousands dead!!"

Interrupting the Demon King’s thoughts was the shouting of one of his many subordinates—a Lesser Demon Lord of the Void Crossing Realm. After being asked to elaborate, the Lesser Demon Lord spoke of an army of the Shadow Undead attacking and slaughtering anything that crossed their paths.

There were hundreds of them, each with the capabilities to take on lower-rank Void Crossing Realm Demonic Cultivators. Moreover, they were all able to infinitely regenerate, meaning that of the few the Demonic Cultivators managed to take down, they’d just return to life and start the murder spree all over again.

’An Army of the Undead...’ The Demon King’s forehead creased as a dangerously lethal aura seeped out of him. ’Has the Seven Underworlds Sect betrayed us?’

However, thinking about it more logically, the Seven Underworlds Sect had nowhere near this level of skill in the art of Necromancy. At most, the limit of what they could fight them with would do little more than bring them to a stalemate.

It would in no way result in the massacres being reported by not only the Demon King’s forces in the north but also in the south, west, and east as well.

"Sir Demon King Wang," came the voice of a Peak Body Integration Realm Greater Demon Lord. "I’ve just returned from fighting a group of these shadowy Undead. They were beaten with very little effort on my part. But while repeatedly killing them, a more powerful one appeared.

This one had strength in the Body Integration Realm. And though it gave me quite a lot of trouble with its white flame, I destroyed it pretty easily. I kept doing that until I felt it to be the right time to capture one of the weaker ones and extract information from it.

But... It, along with the rest of them, disappeared in the blink of an eye, their destinations untraceable."

"Hmm, so even you, Elder Wo..." Demon King Wang shook his head, having never could’ve anticipated something like this to happen, putting a corkscrew in what should’ve been a foolproof plan. "Very well, I suppose there’s no other choice but for me to personally act—"

Before he could make a cool exit, the slamming of the doors to his Flying Ship’s cabin room snapped his head toward the rude one rushing inside.

"S-Sorry for my transgressions...!" The Body Integration Realm Greater Demon Lord immediately knelt as soon as he was faced with the Demon King’s intimidating gaze. "I’ve just received word from the other Demon Faction Sects we’re completing this Raid with! 12 Demon Kings have already fallen in battle with the alleged Blazing Sun Sect Grand Elder!"

"!?!"

’12 Demon Kings...?? Already???’

It would appear that he underestimated the threat that this Grand Elder posed. If he had already proven himself to be this capable, then it was certainly a possibility that this whole very meticulously planned Raid could be unraveled by him.

"From which Sects did these Demon Kings originate?" asked Demon King Wang. "Give me the exact numbers."

The Greater Demon Lord giving the report audibly gulped, afraid to reveal the answer.

"Tell me!"

"Y-Yes, the truth is that...."
