“All Ziwei Sect disciples, listen to my command! Protect the Hua Xia Sect and break out!”
Jing Yuan single-handedly blocked three Transformation God Realm cultivators, and using the stars of the cosmos as a formation, he pulled the three of them into the void.
“Star Sect, listen to my command! We swear to live and die with the Hua Xia Sect!” Feng Qingyang's face was grim as he made an incredibly difficult decision.
In this battle, he was gambling with the entire Star Sect!
Destruction?
Or rebirth?
Feng Qingyang didn't know the answer, nor did he have time to think too much. He led more than a dozen Golden Core Stage elders to block Zhao Shijie and the others.
Killing intent surged in Chu Huaian's eyes as he held Luo Xi with one hand and rushed to the front of the many players.
“All Hua Xia Sect disciples, listen to my command!”
“Yes!!!”
All the players had now put away their playful expressions, their bodies surrounded by bursts of killing intent, and the red sect banner flapped in the strong wind.
They knew that if Chu Huaian lost this battle, they would completely bid farewell to this world.
Therefore, everyone had already prepared to die.
“Retreat to the sect! If gods block, kill gods! If Buddhas block, kill Buddhas!”
“Kill!!!”
The roar of “kill” shook the heavens.
The entire central region completely boiled over.
Thirty-one sects, plus the Lian Shi Sect and Limitless Sect, two first-grade sects, immediately charged towards the Hua Xia Sect.
Dense crowds flew through the sky and burrowed through the earth, instantly engulfing everyone.
The people from the other sects all retreated a hundred miles away, quietly watching this destructive slaughter.
Chu Huaian stood in front of everyone, with lightning spirits forming purple wings attached to his back.
The Sword Spirit, surrounded by purple lightning, floated beside Chu Huaian.
“Chu Huaian, today you are doomed to die!”
More than thirty Nascent Soul Stage cultivators arrived in an instant, collectively unleashing their spiritual power and striking down fiercely.
More than thirty brilliant streaks of spiritual power tore through the void, descending with world-destroying force.
At the crucial moment, Li Taibai, Luo Xi, Zhao Shijie, Xia Ling, Shen Qinghan, Chu Heshan, and many other exceptionally talented players all rushed into the sky at the first opportunity.
“White Radiance!”
“One Sword Cleanses the Nine Provinces!”
The Emperor Weapon reappeared, sword qi crisscrossing ninety thousand miles, rising against the heavens.
“A Green Lotus in the Azure Sky, All Laws Are Empty!”
Boom! The firmament split open, and grey mist descended from the nine heavens. A green lotus, formed by the power of rules, suddenly appeared.
“Qi gathers in the void, spirit roams the eight wastes. Before chaos was divided, Qi transformed into yin and yang. A thought creates and destroys, all phenomena return to storage. Breaking through barriers to clarity, only then does the primordial light appear!”
“A single thought gives birth to three thousand worlds, a single thought buries the long night of eternity!”
“Three Thousand Realms. Burial!”
Zhao Shijie's eyes flickered, burning his own divine soul. The surrounding space shattered inch by inch, revealing the primordial chaos. All energy within a hundred zhang turned into a chaotic state, and wherever it passed, it became nothingness.
“A single thought gives birth to the six paths, reincarnation moves within the palm.”
“Karma fire burns cause and effect, life and death are clear.”
“Heavenly Dao soars above the nine heavens, Asura's battle intent rages.”
“Hungry ghosts devour mountains and rivers, hell locks souls in death.”
“Beasts communicate with all spirits, the human world severs yin and yang.”
“Cultivate the reincarnation method, prove the Dao and break through the vastness!”
Xia Ling formed hand seals, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared behind her.
“A single thought arises in the human world, and a hundred lives of reincarnation end. All past dust disperses, and rebirth proves divine abilities!”
“Human Dao. Reincarnation!”
As this technique was unleashed, the eyes of more than thirty Nascent Soul Stage cultivators immediately became dull, their divine souls dragged into the reincarnation illusion.
“Divine-grade cultivation techniques!! Two divine-grade cultivation techniques, and even a natural divine ability!”
“The Hua Xia Sect not only has an Emperor Weapon! It also has divine-grade cultivation techniques!”
“The rumors are true! The treasures brought by the Xuantian Sect from the Life Forbidden Zone are actually an Emperor Weapon and divine-grade cultivation techniques!”
“How can such good fortune fall into the hands of a small Hua Xia Sect? I will lend you a hand to slay the remnants of the Hua Xia Sect!”
“Chu Huaian, you can't hold onto such an opportunity! You should hand it over!”
“The Hua Xia Sect are remnants of the Xuantian Sect! Everyone, follow me to slay these devils!”
“Chu Huaian, hand over the Emperor Weapon and divine-grade cultivation techniques, or this place will be your burial ground!”
In an instant, tens of thousands of cultivators soared into the sky, covering the sun and the moon, and charged into the crowd with righteous indignation.
Just as Chu Huaian and the others were about to break through the defense line of the more than thirty Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, another twenty or so Nascent Soul Stage cultivators joined the battle.
Energy reversed, and all the mountains and rivers in the central region completely collapsed, turning into ruins.
Rivers flowed backward, mountains, rocks, and trees were all leveled, and stars rose and fell across the sky.
The laws of this world were completely chaotic, and streams of magma burst through the ground, shooting straight into the clouds.
Boom! Above the firmament, thunder raged, a scene of doomsday.
“Pfft…”
Chu Huaian and the others couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of clotted blood, their bodies flying backward.
“Everyone, protect Xian Ge back to the sect!” Fang Yuan, bathed in blood, held the red sect banner and fought his way through the crowd.
“Don't get entangled in battle! Everyone retreat to Xian Ge's side!” Lin Ye protected the disciples of the Star Sect, leading them to break through the encirclement.
The tide of people surged, constantly impacting the Hua Xia Sect's defense line like locusts.
Disciples of the Ziwei Sect and Star Sect successively died in the calamity, only to protect the Hua Xia Sect's retreat.
Watching bodies fall before their eyes, the players felt an inexplicable force pulling at their hearts, and their carefree expressions subtly changed in an instant.
Some shed tears on the spot, raised their weapons, rushed to the enemy, and self-destructed with a roar.
“I thought I would live a mediocre life, but I never expected to find the true meaning of life in this game world, brothers, I'll go first!” A player burned his own origin, rushing into the crowd without hesitation.
Boom—
An explosion sounded, creating a vacuum zone around the enemies.
“Brothers and sisters of the Ziwei Sect and Star Sect, please stand behind us! Don't make unnecessary sacrifices, we can still withstand this storm!!!”
Bang, bang—
Consecutive explosions sounded as more than a dozen players chose to self-destruct without fear of death.
But this was just a drop in the bucket; the enemy numbers were too great. They were like a lone boat in a storm, rising and falling on the sea, capable of being swallowed at any moment.
“Everyone, protect Xian Ge and break out! He is our hope. As long as Xian Ge doesn't die, we still have a chance!”
Toot, toot-toot—
The charge horn was blown. All players, hearing this sound, felt as if they had returned to that difficult era, their eyes instantly turning red.
“Kill!!!”
Toot, toot-toot—
The sound of horns came from all directions, and a red banner fluttered in the void, flapping loudly.
“Chu Huaian, four years ago I could cripple you, and today I can slay you here.” Lu Chuan stepped through the void, walking step by step towards Chu Huaian.
The surrounding crowd scattered, and the many Nascent Soul Stage cultivators automatically cleared a path.
The former prodigies of the northern and southern shores faced off once again.
“Lu Chuan, if you want to kill Chu Huaian, you'll have to ask if I agree first!” Lin Ting, holding his Sword-Nurturing Gourd, fought his way out from among the enemies.
“Lin Ting, leave this to me, quickly go and support the others!”
Chu Huaian roared, striking Lin Ting with a palm from a distance, then floated in mid-air, gazing at Lu Chuan from afar.
“Lu Chuan, the debt from four years ago, I, Chu Huaian, will repay it a hundredfold today!”
As soon as his voice fell, purple lightning flashed in Chu Huaian's eyes, and a hazy grey mist emanated from the void, with crackling lightning within it.
