Destroying Qingxuan Sect was the Nine Demon Sect's first step in unifying the Southern Wilderness Spirit Domain. It was not easy to lure the elite Cultivators returning to Qingxuan Sect into a trap. If this mission failed, the Demon Cave Co-Lord, Old Ancestor Tianjue, would certainly make them suffer.
“Hold him back! Let's deal with the Qingxuan Sect people first,” Blood Nether Demon Lord suggested via Divine Sense.
“No, that kid has a Tier 4 Thunder Talisman on him. The three of us must work together and kill him as quickly as possible,” White Bone Demon Lord retorted via Divine Sense.
“My twelve Golden Armored Undead were all destroyed! White Bone, I can only assist you with the Myriad Undead Method,” Heaven Corpse Demon Lord agreed.
“White Bone, you attack here, with you as the main force, and I will assist with Blood Arts,” Blood Nether Demon Lord proposed helplessly.
“Good! Use your Great Blood True Art. Make sure to kill him with one strike,” White Bone Demon Lord suggested without further thought.
The next moment, the three Demonic Lords flew out. One released a vast sea of blood, another released a large number of bronze coffins, and the other Demonic Lord plunged into the sea of blood, disappearing in an instant.
Li Mu’s Divine Sense had been focused on the six Demonic Lords, especially the three Demonic Lords who were not presiding over the Great Array. As soon as he saw them make a move, he immediately became alert.
Li Mu’s eyes gathered spiritual light, and his Yin and Yang Eye Divine Ability activated, instantly seeing through the three Demonic Lords' spell trajectories.
Within the sea of blood, a thousand bronze ancient coffins were hidden, enveloping him. The disappearing Nascent Soul Demonic Lord was hidden within one of the bronze ancient coffins, his aura blending with the silver Undead inside the coffin.
Li Mu immediately understood their intentions. Without hesitation, he grabbed the Thunder Spirit Talisman Book, poured his True Essence into it, and four Tier 4 Thunder Talismans were drawn out from the Tier 5 Thunder Book.
Li Mu stored all the refined Tier 3 and Tier 4 Thunder Talismans in the Tier 5 Thunder Spirit Talisman Book to facilitate storage and prevent the dispersion of their Thunder Qi. At the same time, activating talismans with the Thunder Book not only provided damage bonuses but also allowed for the simultaneous activation of multiple talismans.
“Crackle!” A thunderclap sounded.
Three Blazing Flame Thousand Thunder Talismans released thousands of bolts of lightning towards the sea of blood, and a Sky Escape Thunder Wings Talisman was imbued onto Li Mu.
With a ‘whoosh,’ a purple Thunder Wings extended from Li Mu’s back. With a ‘swoosh,’ his figure vanished beneath the sea of blood, not retreating but advancing. Li Mu’s figure instantly flew within a few hundred feet of Blood Nether Demon Lord and Heaven Corpse Demon Lord.
Li Mu pointed his finger, and Tier 4 Spirit Swords from the nine storage spiritual pearl flashed out one after another, forming a Sword Dragon that enveloped the five Demonic Lords (including the three Demonic Lords presiding over the Nine Yin Great Array).
Just then, crackling lightning and rumbling thunder erupted behind Li Mu. Three Tier 4 Blazing Flame Thousand Thunder Talismans simultaneously released thousands of purple-red lightning bolts, transforming into three purple Thunder Dragons that plunged into the sea of blood.
Wherever the three purple Thunder Dragons passed, the sea of blood rapidly evaporated. Bronze coffins, like falling rain, were continuously smashed down by the Thunder Dragons. The ultimate impact point of the three Thunder Spirits was precisely the bronze coffin where a Demonic Lord was hiding.
“Boom!” With a loud bang, the three Thunder Dragons, with lightning speed, plunged into the bronze coffin, immediately triggering a massive explosion.
“Ah!” White Bone Demon Lord screamed in agony. The three Thunder Dragons simultaneously surged into his body. He had no time to dodge and was blasted out of the bronze coffin.
The sea of blood had already dissipated, and the ruined bronze coffins fell like rain. More than half of the silver armored Undead inside the bronze coffins were instantly destroyed by the three Thunder Dragons.
However, at this moment, Blood Nether Demon Lord and Heaven Corpse Demon Lord were already facing a life-or-death crisis and could not spare a thought for White Bone Demon Lord’s survival, the sea of blood, or the thousand bronze coffins.
Spirit Swords flew in swiftly, scattering and quickly forming an array before them in the blink of an eye. Soon, a grand and sharp Sword Qi, along with the formation of the Sword Array, began to emit an astonishing Sword momentum.
“Blood Nether, how can this be! Who is this person?”
“Damn it! How did you guys defend? The Nine Yin Great Array can’t even be maintained!”
“Where are White Jade and Evil Child?!”
Disturbed by the immense Sword might, the three Nascent Soul Demonic Lords who were maintaining the Nine Yin Great Array and the Undead Mountain Blood Sea Great Array all awoke, questioning repeatedly and unable to concentrate on maintaining the array.
“White Jade and Evil Child are all dead!” Blood Nether Demon Lord replied.
“Taiyin, Blood Origin, quickly, let’s act together! We cannot let this Sword Array form!” Heaven Corpse Demon Lord looked at the Flying Sword of heavenly secrets in a panic.
“Who did you provoke! Why are there so many Flying Swords!”
“Not good, run! It’s someone from Xuantian Sword Sect!”
“Too late, forget the Nine Yin Great Array, Taiyin, quickly, release your Dharma Idol…”
...
Within the Sword Array, the five Demonic Lords each employed defensive methods, scrambling to dodge the attacks of the sky-filling Sword Qi, no longer able to maintain the three killing arrays.
As the Nine Yin Great Array, Myriad Undead Array, and Blood Sea Array concluded, the sea of blood and the pervasive Yin Qi gradually dissipated. The Undead stood frozen in battle, with no endless charges, and the Qingxuan Sect Disciples trapped within the array felt a sense of relief.
“Is it over? I survived?”
“Is this real? It’s finally over! I’m still alive, Hahaha!”
“Someone saved us!”
“Look, quickly look!”
“My heavens! Who is that!”
“So many Flying Swords! My heavens! Who is that person!”
“He, he alone trapped five Nascent Soul Demonic Lords!”
“So it was he who saved us!”
...
After the Qingxuan Sect group was released from the Great Array, the Foundation Establishment Disciples and Golden Core Disciples celebrated with joy, disbelief, and tears of happiness.
Upon seeing a Golden Core cultivator remotely control nearly a hundred Tier 4 Flying Swords, enveloping five Nascent Soul Demonic Lords and attacking them, each of them stared with wide eyes, filled with disbelief.
They never expected to be saved by a Golden Core cultivator, nor did they expect to witness such a scene: a Sword Array set up by a Golden Core cultivator actually entangling five Demonic Lords.
“Quick, go help!”
“That’s White Bone Demon Lord, Zhou Hong, you come with me to kill him!”
“There are still a few Golden Core remnants, don’t let them escape!”
...
The five Nascent Soul True Lords of Qingxuan Sect quickly took action, pursuing the heavily injured and fleeing White Bone Demon Lord, as well as the group of Golden Core Demonic Cultivators being chased by Battle Puppets.
Li Mu struggled to maintain the Heavenly Yuan Sword Array. The three hundred sixty Spirit Swords were somewhat shaky under the bombardment of the five Nascent Soul Demonic Lords.
However, relying on the max-level Sword Array Basic Chapter and the enhancement of the Star Soul Transformation Domain Divine Ability, Li Mu still stubbornly maintained it.
Within the Sword Array, an endless supply of Sword Qi was generated, furiously attacking the five Nascent Soul Demonic Lords. They either condensed their Dharma Idols, held shield artifacts, or used Undead to block… “Clang, clang, clang…” The Sword Qi was like a torrential rain, continuously striking them.
The five Nascent Soul Demonic Lords were pale-faced, struggling to hold on, with sword wounds appearing one after another on their bodies, unavoidable. With endless Sword Qi, there was simply no room to dodge while inside the Sword Array.
So many Tier 4 Spirit Swords, and quite a few of them were even awakened Spirit Swords.
Heavens above, how did they provoke such a person!
With the appearance of the five Nascent Soul True Lords of Qingxuan Sect, who swiftly annihilated the remaining Demonic Cultivator remnants and flew towards him, Li Mu immediately considered retreating.
“I’ll leave it to you all!” Li Mu spread his Thunder Wings, and his figure vanished from the spot. Immediately after, he dispersed the Sword Array and recalled all the Spirit Swords.
“Senior, rest assured! We will absolutely not let them escape!” Qingyang True Lord watched as the Spirit Swords flew away with him, responded with a hateful voice, and swiftly entered the fray with his sword.
The other four Nascent Soul True Lords of Qingxuan Sect, Qing Chen, Chen Yuan, Zhou Hong, and Tianfu, followed closely behind.
Li Mu’s figure appeared at the foot of the peak, collecting the remaining Spider Puppets and Battle Puppets. Little Gold, Little Wa, and Little White were all put into his Spirit Beast Pouch. He quickly cleaned up the battlefield, especially the storage rings of the three Nascent Soul Demonic Lords, which he swept with his Divine Sense and collected into his hands.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Li Mu flew back to the peak of Biyun Peak, observing the battle between the five True Lords of Qingxuan Sect and the five Demonic Lords.
